Speaker 1: we do it also factually, and I'm all back. Dan

9
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,919
Speaker 1: had some Korean barbecue this weekend. I mean we love

10

Speaker 1: the meat. Yeah, you were not included in that, but

Speaker 1: the three of the rest of us make up for you.

12
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 1: Not only did I have Korean barbecue, I mean what

Speaker 1: good boys and um and now we're all together here

19
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: in the studio. And Mark, you were around, Yeah, I don't.

20
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: I didn't play any any serviceable role. Mark, keep getting

21
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: left out of these things. I mean I feel like

22
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: you would be happy to be left out of that,

23
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: you know, child, and I'm already involved with picking out

24
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 1: meat restaurants. Is not something you would go to. Um,

25
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: this is the Week four Sunday recap show, our flagship show. UH,

26
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: so we're gonna go through all of the games that

27
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: were played on Sunday one by one, as we do

28
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: every week. Uh. It's also streaming on video, so we

29
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: get we have everything coming to you guys, great content.

30
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: And it was a week greg where if you went

31
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: to an NFL game, UH, and you wanted to root

32
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: for your favorite team, there's a good chance you went

33
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: home disappointed. Home teams two and eleven this week four,

34
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: entering Sunday night, we don't know at this time, we

35
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: don't know what's gonna happen uh in New Orleans. But

36
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: two and eleven the home teams went. That's outrageous. I'm

37
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: taking a stand that as outrageous. Although I do think

38
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: home and field advantage it's a little overrated. Yeah, we

39
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: always we make a big deal out of it all

40
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: this week it was well, I don't think it's overrated

41
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 1: as it it's just like it's just like a yeah,

42
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: it's just sort of like an extra little thing, but

43
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: you know, you make a big deal about it. Come on,

44
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: come come down in September. All right, Okay, that's an

45
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: interesting I thoroughly disagree, but I but I hear what

46
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: you're saying. So we're gonna go through all these games,

47
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: many of them. As I just said, we'll feature teams

48
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 1: on the road that's stepped up in a big way.

49
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: And why don't we start in the game. Everybody was

50
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: excited about Western New York. The Buffalo Bills three and oh,

51
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: feeling themselves welcome to New England, Patriots the town. Would

52
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: the Bills make a huge statement or would the Patriots

53
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: do Patriot things? And a third and ten staff Parking

54
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: drops back. There's probabi second Jenny Collins ut side first

55
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: out of bounds, but the interception was forest like Kyle

56
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: van Noy who hit Barkley with the deflection to Collins

57
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: with one seven to go. Here on the fourth, Bob

58
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: soci with the call, do we have Scott's lock on

59
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: suspension on this show after his absurd, ridiculous Antonio Brown

60
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: cheerleading in week one? Is that what we're doing? Ricky, Alright,

61
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 1: don't worry about it. Reggy ke Good talking about Patriots

62
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: Radio network with the call yes. Jamie Collins comes down

63
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: with the loose ball off the hit from Kyle van

64
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: Noy on the past attempt from Matt Barkley to play

65
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: ceiling a Patriot sixteen to ten win over the Bills

66
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: in Orchard Park. The Bills made this a game after

67
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: a very slow start, but there would be no magic

68
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: when Barkley replaced an injured Josh Allen greg who bravely

69
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: locked up the Patriots in this guy That's God. Didn't

70
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: see a lot of offense on displaying buff No. You asked,

71
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: you know going into this game. Did the Bills make

72
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: a statement or did the Patriots two Patriot things? I

73
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: guess it's both. Because the Bills made a statement. They

74
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: made Tom Brady look worse than he has in in

75
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: a long time. This was his lowest passer rating since

76
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: two thousand six in a game. It's the most passes

77
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: he's ever thrown in a game without getting to two yards.

78
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: Didn't even get close. He had one fifty. He was

79
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 1: under completion. They had seven drives where they went three

80
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 1: and out. They had only a couple more where they

81
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: got one first down, They did nothing offensively, and late

82
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: in the game, they were inside the five yard line

83
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: with a chance to go up two scores, and they

84
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: smartly kicked a field goal. And I thought that was

85
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick saying, this Bill's defense is too good for us.

86
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: We need to just go up six points. That's the

87
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: kind of defense Buffalo played. But they get a special

88
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 1: team's touchdown, they knock out Josh Allen in the fourth quarter,

89
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 1: and they do a lot of things defensively on their

90
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: own to get the West shopped me in my tracks.

91
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: The decision fourth and goal to not go for it,

92
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,239
Speaker 1: because it feels like a Patriots thing that they would

93
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: go for it, and since the moment, but you're right,

94
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: they had that much faith in their defense, which they should.

95
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 1: New England's defense is incredible, and the Bills just weren't

96
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: moving the ball. I mean, you locked up New England.

97
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: But if someone had told me that you would have

98
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 1: held Tom Brady to three point eight yards per attempt,

99
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: if you would have given up only sixteen points to

100
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: this offense, and if Frank or would have run for

101
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: a hundred and nine yards at six point four yards

102
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: per carry, I would have locked up the Bills. I

103
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: would have thought they're going to find a way to

104
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: They're not an explosive offense, but find a way to

105
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: get seventeen points. And I mean the difference was the

106
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: punt return touchdown, the Patriots score. The Patriots offense only

107
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: scored ten, Bills offense scored ten, and the Patriots defense

108
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 1: was very lucky to hold the Bills to only ten

109
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: because the Bills did do a better job, especially in

110
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: the second half, moving up and down the field. But

111
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: the situational defense that the Patriots have, especially in the

112
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: red zone with Jamie Collins and Kyle van Noy and

113
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: everything that they can do was really special. Today. You're

114
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: tipping your tap, you're tipping your cap to a good

115
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: Bills defense and a well coached team. But how much

116
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: of this doesn't raise any red flags for you on

117
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: the Patriots offense. It's a long season. I said going

118
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: into this game. I didn't think their offense was nearly

119
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: up to speed. Their offensive line got pushed around. I

120
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: think this Bill's defense had a great plan for them.

121
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, they have to be it. They're gonna

122
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: be a different team in December one way or another.

123
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: Whether they're better or worse. They're gonna be totally different.

124
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: The fact that they were able to sneak out a

125
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: win was nice. The peace scale was high, though, Uh,

126
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,119
Speaker 1: you know, you haven't asked me that in a while,

127
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: and I just felt like they were not the better

128
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 1: team in this game, and so my peace scale was

129
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 1: And I won't be asking you on Thursday's preview show

130
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: when they are preparing for the Washington Redskins either. UM,

131
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: my schedule for the path so far, feel free to

132
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,799
Speaker 1: lock that came up. By the way, Greg, there's no rules.

133
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: I might lock it up because I'm owing four in

134
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: the locks. We'll get to that on Thursday. John Brown

135
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: biggest individual play of the game. UH takes the pass

136
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: from Matt Barkley. UM this late in the fourth quarter.

137
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: UH gets stopped at the one jo wanted by Stephan Gilmour,

138
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: who makes an incredible tackle, And that was the closest

139
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: that the Bills came. They gave very close to time

140
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: this game, and multiple times misses a field goal, a

141
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: very makeable field goal at the end of the first half, which, uh,

142
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: you know, obviously every point counts in a low scoring

143
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: game like this. The Patriots knocked out Josh Allen and

144
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: what you know, I think is controversial call up. I

145
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: don't think it was a dirt I mean a controversial hit.

146
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: They called the penalty on the Patriots. It was a

147
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: play where they were trying. It was a desperate situation.

148
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: They're trying to stop him from getting a first down.

149
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: He was picking up about six yards and and I

150
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: think who wasn't it was j C. Jackson just knocked

151
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: him right in the helmet, like cold in his tracks.

152
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: They they flagged him. I didn't think it was anything

153
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: dirty necessarily about it, but it changes the game. Barkley

154
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: came in there, had better decisions, moved the ball actually

155
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: a little better than Josh Allen did, but they were

156
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: multiple throws where he just didn't have the car to complete.

157
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting. The Bills tweeted out a

158
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: video of Micah Hyde, Buffalo defender defender, saying that but

159
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: Brady would have if someone hit Brady that way, they

160
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: would have been ejected. There might be some controversial thing

161
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: for a team to tweet out. There might be something

162
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: to that because in in that play, Josh Allen has

163
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: kind of has his head down and his running I

164
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: would I just assumed he was getting that first down

165
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: before he got knocked over, and you're treating him like

166
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: a running back. And that's that's what happened. And this

167
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: shouldn't be lost in the in the mix either with

168
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:32,959
Speaker 1: Allen because he does go out with a head injury

169
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: and hopefully it's okay and not something that keeps him

170
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: in the sidelines. Did not play a good game, Greg,

171
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: maybe you could shine a little more light on but

172
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: just from what I saw, and when you look at

173
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: his numbers, three interceptions, um, they only scored uh what

174
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 1: ten points when he was on the field, and in general.

175
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: We talked about this leading into the game. This was

176
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,839
Speaker 1: a big like spotlight check on Allen and he did

177
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: not exactly straight. He hasn't in the first three weeks either.

178
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: I mean, he started out the game totally abysmal, one

179
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: for eight with two fumbles and two interceptions and ten

180
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: yards in the first quarter. He's not accurate. They came

181
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: out after halftime. I think Brian Dable, who's their former

182
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,439
Speaker 1: Patriots coordinator, did a smart thing. Starting in them in tempo.

183
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: They did a hurry up. They had a great touchdown drive.

184
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: That was the only time they look good all your

185
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: old game don't know why they didn't go back to that,

186
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,599
Speaker 1: but three interceptions and a couple of fumbles, one that

187
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: got overturned my penalty. No, he he hasn't looked that

188
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: much better. I can't think of a quarterback in the

189
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 1: league where I would love to know what team brass

190
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: truly think about him behind the scenes, because there's a

191
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 1: lot to like about I think there's a lot to

192
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: a lot to him that's positive. But the turnovers are

193
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: You cannot advance in the NFL with that kind of

194
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: an issue. This is this isn't a veteran defense. It

195
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: really hit me today how old the key guys are.

196
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: It's not a young defense. I mean, Devin mccordy's playing

197
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: as well as he ever did. Jamie Collins is wearing

198
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: the captain's green doting right now. That's where Jamie Collins

199
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: is played every single sex snaps seventy nine snaps today.

200
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: Not gone is gone, and he was better than Tower

201
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 1: could have been. You know what it isn't on It's

202
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: a total testament to New England because when he went

203
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 1: to Cleveland and they paid him a ton of money

204
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: and they were not a good team obviously on any level,

205
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: but he was accused by fans and onlookers and tape

206
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 1: watchers of being a guy that was taking plays off

207
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: in series at a time off and you got the

208
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: worst version of me goes to New England. They totally

209
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 1: flipped the switch on the dude. Well, if you remember

210
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: the reason why the Patriots traded him, and the first

211
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: place was the reports that he was freelancing on defense,

212
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: it was just doing whatever he wanted to do. But

213
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: it's similar to Kyle van Noy. I mean, who is

214
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: he in Detroit right now? He is the best player

215
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: in the Patriots front seven and he had a big

216
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: He's a defensive player. Of that your candidate. If he

217
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: keeps playing like this, by the way, that would be amazing.

218
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: Before we move on, I want to point one thing out.

219
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: We've been joking about it the last couple of weeks.

220
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: The tired um insight that the way to get to

221
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: Tom Brady is to, you know, you get pushed that middle,

222
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 1: win the battle in the trenches, get pressure in his face. Well,

223
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: there is a Patriots version of that as well that

224
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: you hear every game. Anybody want to take a crack

225
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: out out because they the Bills did a good job

226
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: of that, they moved him off his spot. They said

227
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: that about ten times. And the Patriots version of the

228
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: tired cliche and Alice is Bill Belichick. This is what

229
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: he does. He takes away the one thing you do best,

230
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: takes away that one thing. I don't even know what

231
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: that means, takes the thing that you do best, and

232
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: then now try to beat us, unlike other coaches attempting that.

233
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: Thurman Thomas thirty five years ago or whatever, takes it away,

234
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: takes it away. We can take and get tucked in

235
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: there off the right hip hand off, Darrell Williams trying

236
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:47,199
Speaker 1: to dive Die tucks down Jans sitting. Darrell Williams gets

237
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: barely into the end zone, but twenty seconds left in

238
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 1: the game to put the Chiefs up thirty three. Mitch

239
00:11:54,840 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: Halt Chief's radio network with a call yes, Daryl Williams

240
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: takes it in for one yard. Owt Patrick Mahomes converted

241
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: a fourth down with a run of fifteen yards to

242
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: extend that game winning drive, and the Chiefs survived after

243
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 1: a hell Mary that closed that a win over the

244
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions at Ford Field in a game that uh listen,

245
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: they don't hand out medals and their own hand out lollipops.

246
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: UH two teams for losing, But the Lions deserve credit

247
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: here for really playing the Chiefs wired to wire and

248
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: they played really well in this game. They played well

249
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: on offense. Matthew Stafford UH played again good football. UM

250
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: carry On Johnson had a hundred and twenty five yards

251
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: and the Lions rang up about a buck on the ground. UH.

252
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: Their defense, specifically UH their secondary avoided giving up big plays,

253
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,319
Speaker 1: which of course is what the Chiefs do, and the

254
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: front four of the Lions consider instantly got Mahomes uncomfortable

255
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 1: and gave him I wouldn't say happy feet, but caused

256
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: him to just throw him a little bit out of sync.

257
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: Like when you watch this game again, especially in the

258
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: first two quarters, I'd say there will be three or

259
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: four plays that the Chiefs hit with regularity that go

260
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: for fifty yards or eighty yards or seventy five yards,

261
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,079
Speaker 1: and he just Mahomes just kept missing them. So and

262
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: it's it's a it's a credit to the Lions for

263
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: their effort, but it's also a reminder that in a

264
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:31,079
Speaker 1: game where Patrick Mahomes does not throw out touchdown pass,

265
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: which has only happened four times in his career, and

266
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: he had fourteen straight games that streak ended where he

267
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: had at least two touchdown passes. Well, he doesn't need

268
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,559
Speaker 1: to fill up the box score to leave this offense.

269
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: They they still put up thirty four points. He still

270
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: went over three hundred yards, and when it mattered most,

271
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 1: when they're down three points, he takes over at their

272
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 1: twenty one yard line and goes seventy nine yards on

273
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,839
Speaker 1: thirteen plays, uh for the clinching touchdown. So uh, the

274
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: Chief showed me a little did a little backbone in

275
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: a game that could have easily gotten away from him

276
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: and they would have survived if they would have lost

277
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: and moved on, but they decided to find a way

278
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: to close it out. And the Lions they deserve some respect.

279
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: They didn't win, and I still don't think the Lions

280
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: are any powerhouse West in the NFC, but I absolutely

281
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: think they showed us today that when they're having a

282
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: good day, they could play with anybody. I started developing

283
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: some feelings for the Lions last week against the Eagles.

284
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I'm falling in love with them, but

285
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: there are some feelings there where this team is frisky.

286
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: They seemed to be well coached, whereas last year the

287
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: whole narrative was that there might be almost a rebellion

288
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: going on because nobody liked Matt Patricia. But they seemed

289
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: to be well coached, they seemed to play together well,

290
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: and like I said Thursday, they have good starters. I

291
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: just if they have an injury or two on offense,

292
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: I think they're cooked. It's uh. I mean, it seems

293
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: like it was a game of what ifs, though, because

294
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: they had four possessions inside Kansas City's eight yard line

295
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: and came away with ten points. There were three chiefs

296
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: fumbles at one turn of the point of the game

297
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: where Detroit came away with no points off of that.

298
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: But I couldn't agree more. And and you know, watching

299
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: this out of the corner of my eye, the crowd

300
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: was super into this. I didn't We've I've panned Lions fandom,

301
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: I panned the home stadium, I panned everything to do

302
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: with Detroit for a long time. I'm with you, this

303
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: feels like a different operation. And it's not that surprising

304
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: if you're Matt Patricia that there was a rebellion. If

305
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna bring in a Belichick like culture change. Most

306
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: teams are gonna bounce on that in year one, and

307
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: they got rid of some of those guys that didn't fit.

308
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: So the big uh you mentioned issues in the red

309
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: zone the biggest turn of this game. It was a

310
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: fourteen point swing. So Walter Anderson is the official, the

311
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: lead official official of this crew that put in this game.

312
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: It's the same Walter Anderson crew that blew the whistle

313
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 1: in Week two on Rams Saints, costing the Saints a

314
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: long time having a good year. I mean while Anderson

315
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: has been NFL official almost longer than Erica our our producer,

316
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: has been alive, and I mean like the lead official.

317
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: That's how he's definitely been an official for a lot

318
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: that Walt, I'm sure I got called to the carpet

319
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: after that game at the Superdome where they prematurely blew

320
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: that play dead. Who knows how that game turns out,

321
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: if that touchdown stands for the Saints. Well, this was

322
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: this showed some growth or perhaps um the ability to

323
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: know that your job could be on the line if

324
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: you don't straight now. Because he does not blow the

325
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: whistle on a carry On Johnson play near the goal

326
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: line where he reaches out about six inches shy the

327
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: goal line, it gets knocked out of his hands. Uh,

328
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: and Bush Brelan to his credit, Uh, He's just jumps

329
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: in out of nowhere, scoops it up, starts jogging in

330
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: the other direction. No whistles blown, no one is playing

331
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: the ball, and he just jogs into the end zone.

332
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: It's ruled a touchdown on the field, and then it

333
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: stands on a review, so it goes from it was

334
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: thirteen thirteen, what could have been a Lions lead was

335
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: all of a sudden Chiefs lead. And again to Detroit's credit,

336
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: that was an absolutely crushing uh set act at that point. Greg,

337
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: I believe you heard me say this game is over

338
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 1: at that point because you just assumed that the Detroit

339
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: lines would crumble after that. To their credit, they kept

340
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 1: on coming back. In fact, they took three leads in

341
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: the second half, but Mahomes and the Chiefs kept coming

342
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: and Uh, they deserve credit for that. Stafford banged up

343
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: in this. I thought, I I didn't see anything. Um,

344
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: maybe there was something of a hip issue. I'm not

345
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 1: sure I would have to hit. Yeah, he was playing

346
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: through it, but he played great and he's I think

347
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: he's been very good for them, uh the season. On balance,

348
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 1: it shows that the Chiefs are playing a different game

349
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,959
Speaker 1: than everyone else. Though, when you're when you're without Tyreek

350
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: Hill and did other defense does all these good things

351
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: to you and Mahomes doesn't throw a touchdown and you

352
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 1: still wind up with four and thirty eight yards completely

353
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: just like that's like the base line. Yeah, and and

354
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 1: I kind of did hit on it a little bit.

355
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 1: But in that touchdown drive, the thirteen play, seventy nine

356
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,199
Speaker 1: yard drive that led to the game, when we scored,

357
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 1: the Detroit lines have the Chiefs at fourth and eight. Uh.

358
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: In the Chiefs are in their own side of the

359
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: field and they have to play well covered. When Mahomes

360
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 1: drops back to past and Mahomes takes off for fifteen yards,

361
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 1: keeps the drive alive. Yeah, I think this is this

362
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 1: shows that this is a bad Mahomes game. You know,

363
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: we see bad Cousins games are bad Trabiskie games are

364
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: bad Flacco games. In a bad Mahomes game, they score

365
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 1: thirty four points. He rushes for fifty four yards and

366
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 1: has an higher ESPN qb R than Matthew Stafford, who

367
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: threw for three touchdowns and played almost flawless, and at

368
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 1: the end of the game, when when with the game

369
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 1: on the line and him set up to march for

370
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: a potential game winning score, I had no internal doubts

371
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: that he was going to get it done. And I know,

372
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 1: I know it's early, but I'm sure I wasn't the

373
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 1: only Patriots fan and maybe Ryan Bartlett are our producer

374
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: as a Chiefs fan was tracking the Patriots. I was,

375
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: you know, seeing this and thinking, we're down to the

376
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: last two undefeated teams in the a f C. These

377
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,199
Speaker 1: were the best two teams last year. They kind of

378
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: looked like the best two teams so far. Like the

379
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: race every lost between these two teams. I think it's

380
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: important and so I think in well, it's clinched now

381
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,640
Speaker 1: for the Patriots. Why is that Because the Chiefs can

382
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 1: only win fifteen, the Patriots will win sixth. I don't

383
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: think that's gonna happen. So that that's over. I'm just

384
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: saying each each one of the they're not gonna be

385
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,399
Speaker 1: able to afford many glasses. Yeah, that's true. All right,

386
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: Let's check in on the a f C North Hey

387
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 1: Field with Chupp behind a tall suite beer side. Here

388
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 1: comes Chop with a cutback. He's up to the fort.

389
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: Here he goes to the fifty, hare goes jump. He's

390
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 1: gonna go twenty fiftime touchdown job, He's got a hat trick.

391
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: Whoa eighty eight yards fight Chub Jim Donovan with the

392
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: call Brown's Radio Network. If you're sensing in Mark Sesler's

393
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,479
Speaker 1: voice a little extras, you know, pep to it and

394
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: if you look at it the way he's walking around

395
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: NFL network, Pep's a little time to his step filing happy.

396
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 1: He's a happy man, and there is a direct correlation

397
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: everybody the Browns win. Mark's happy, so we need the

398
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: Browns to keep winning, just like today eight yards Nick Chubb,

399
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: It's well, you told our entire British audience that without

400
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 1: where we had not spent more than eight seconds together

401
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,199
Speaker 1: all day. But that's fine next to each other. What

402
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: are you talking about? There was a there was a

403
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: difference to Mark Sessler today and it's because of those Browns.

404
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: Eighty eight yard touchdown round by Nick Chubb uh an

405
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: important and impressive for for the Browns over the division

406
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:36,199
Speaker 1: rival ravens Mark out of nowhere. The Browns two and

407
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: two share first place in the a f C North.

408
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: They're okay, they're okay. It's maybe better than okay. It's

409
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: how they won today, how they performed from wire to

410
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,239
Speaker 1: wire on both sides of the ball. That has me

411
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: and I was thinking about this downstairs. This is the

412
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: biggest Browns win in ten fifteen years. There was a

413
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: year they were ten and six that they didn't make

414
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Here's why I think that's the case, because

415
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: we are two or three days removed from most people

416
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: thinking that Freddie Kitchens is someone who's in totally over

417
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 1: his head, that Baker Mayfield talks more than he performs

418
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: in year two as a quarterback, that the offense, which

419
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: came in with so much hope, looked completely broken, and

420
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 1: there the words coming out of Cleveland from the coaching

421
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 1: staff did not sound like we plan to adjust. We

422
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: just planned to keep doing what we're doing. And there

423
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 1: was legit concern about where this team was going and

424
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 1: what the reaction would be for me three or four

425
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 1: weeks from now if they started one in five or

426
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 1: you know, one in five, you go into your by

427
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: then you play the Patriots season over. This is your

428
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: most natural rival outside of Pittsburgh, the Baltimore Ravens. They

429
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 1: were they came from your own belly if you're a

430
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 1: Browns fan. They were pulled out of the Browns failure

431
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 1: when they moved. It's a disaster. And they've been dominated

432
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: by Baltimore for so long, and I thought this was

433
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: the kind of Ravens team that might be the worst

434
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 1: type of team for Cleveland to match up with. And

435
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: Steve Wilkes has done an incredible job with Cleveland's defense,

436
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: and I think we all we talked about is Cleveland's

437
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,959
Speaker 1: offense over and over. It happened against the Rams. They

438
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: had a great game plan with with their two with

439
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 1: four defensive backs starter starters out last against the Rams,

440
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: Greedy Williams, and they they had two cornerbacks out again

441
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: today and you cannot tell the way that they shut

442
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,959
Speaker 1: down Lamar Jackson. Outside of some very frisky runs by

443
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: the Ravens quarterback. They did a great job against Baltimore's offense,

444
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: and that Nick Chubb run was something else that I

445
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 1: have not seen them do this year. Really, you have

446
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: to go back to last season where they kept taking

447
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,199
Speaker 1: hope away from the opponent and Nick Chubb had not,

448
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: you know they I thought they needed to center this

449
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: attack more around him. They found a way to do

450
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 1: it today. Baker Mayfield was not badgered from wire to

451
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: wire the way he has been in the other three games,

452
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: and you got this result. It is hopeful they've got

453
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: a short week before they play the Niners. But I

454
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: thought that they looked like a different offense that against

455
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: what I thought. The coaches could adjusted, made adjustments and

456
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 1: got their act together, and it was. It couldn't have

457
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,959
Speaker 1: happened a game sooner. I'm not sure how this believing

458
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: your own hype phenomenon works, but they must have just

459
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: like they just picked this week to stop believing their

460
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 1: own hype, according to the narrative, And it came on

461
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,640
Speaker 1: a day where Odell Beckham was not a factor at all.

462
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: You know, what are the odds that he gets twenty

463
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: yards on seven targets in a forty burger in Baltimore?

464
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 1: Big time concern if you're a Ravens fan about the

465
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: state of this defense. I think you know we said

466
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 1: going into it, this is a Brown's offense that good

467
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: defenses should handle. Right now, I think the Brown's offense

468
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: that showed up today is was probably it was a

469
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 1: lot about them. But still this Ravens defense when it's

470
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 1: so early in the season that we it's such a

471
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: small sample size that you see them against the Dolphins

472
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 1: and the Cardinals and you think, you think one thing,

473
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: But as we're getting more information, they just don't look

474
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: like the Ravens defense were used to see. Well, they

475
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 1: put all their resources into offense the last two years

476
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: and Lamar Mania, which is you know, running wild in

477
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: weeks one and two. Things have cooled off a little bit,

478
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: it seems in week three and four. What did you

479
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: see from Jackson Mark, Well, they put the clamps on

480
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 1: him early, and you know that I thought that he

481
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: was going to potentially fry then with Marquis Brown and

482
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: they didn't. That connection did not work today, And to

483
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 1: me it is it is partially Baltimore, But I have

484
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: to say Cleveland's defense is playing in a way that

485
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: I I just don't remember them playing. And they've been

486
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: good in every game except that opener where they got

487
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: tired out against the Titans. I think you can say

488
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson's a special talent, and he says bright, he

489
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,439
Speaker 1: has a bright future and also point out that the

490
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: only two quality defenses he's faced in his career are

491
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: the Chargers defense that shut him down in the playoffs

492
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: and the Browns defense that shut him down today. Joe

493
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: Schobert has been playing well. I mean, they're just deep.

494
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: The the Browns defense, they're good on every level. How

495
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: about a little Steve Wilkes come up. Didn't expect that

496
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 1: to happen. Top ten defense this year, and the Browns

497
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: have another prime time game next week against the Niners.

498
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: Would anybody be surprised if that defense steps up again?

499
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: I mean, we'll say that conversation for Thursday. But it

500
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 1: does feel feel like the possibility that they might have

501
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: turned a corner with this game. I want to see Mayfield,

502
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: you know, do it week after week. I mean, I

503
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: want to see this game closer too. But it sounds

504
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: like he looked he was making decisions, was more comfortable

505
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 1: than Yeah, it just looked like last year's attack, where

506
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,679
Speaker 1: the first three weeks to me was something completely different

507
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: and uninviting. First first place, Margie, I mean place in

508
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 1: week four We'll talk to me in week fourteen or

509
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 1: but first time in first place since when since Actually

510
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 1: it was a night when they beat the Bengals on

511
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: Thursday Night Football. You got you you, I believe the

512
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 1: podcast recap dialed Dan and I up at Lost and

513
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: found it was a boozy evening. Let's move on to

514
00:25:51,920 --> 00:26:00,040
Speaker 1: the NFC North one sas depens without Hicks. Evening of

515
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 1: yard lane under center set from Ah paul Is out

516
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,640
Speaker 1: inside the fifteen yard line, pilot up Bears a taken

517
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 1: it away first snap of the second half, Hess kirk

518
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: Cousins gets sacked on first down. Huge play Jeff Johnny

519
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: Bears Radio Network with a call Khalil Mac makes big

520
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,880
Speaker 1: place and you heard another one there. Chase Daniel through

521
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,360
Speaker 1: for a d nine yards and a touchdown after Mitch

522
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 1: Drabski went down with the left shoulder injury on the

523
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: opening possession, and the Bears defense absolutely took it to

524
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook and Kirk Cousins in a sixteenth to six

525
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 1: victory over the Vikings. Um this was a home win

526
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 1: for a win for the home team. The Bears absolutely

527
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: um took it to the Vikings. Mark your thoughts on

528
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: or West this is your game, correct it was? Yes?

529
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: Your thoughts on the effort by the Bears defense, Well,

530
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: I know everybody wants to give their state of the

531
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:04,640
Speaker 1: Union on Cousins after every Vikings lost. But this ain't it, man,

532
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 1: This is not The quarterback has nothing to do with

533
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: this game. It is a Bears defense, a front seven

534
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 1: that absolutely dominated an awful Vikings offensive line and Vikings

535
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 1: offensive line that is terrible and has been terrible. They

536
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: shut down Dalvin Cook. The Vikings offense had two possessions

537
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 1: in the first half nine plays in a punt where

538
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: Cousins just barely missed Adam Phelan on this long play

539
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 1: right here. Now you gotta make that catch too. Who

540
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: knows whose fault that is. But on the next play

541
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: they go twelve plays, next dry they go twelve plays.

542
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: Stefan digs fumbles. Those are only two possessions of the

543
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,719
Speaker 1: first in the first fine in the first half, they

544
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: just didn't have the possession that fumble. I'm blaming on

545
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins. It should be blamed on the quarterback. Clear

546
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 1: They come out of halftime, first play, blindside strips strip

547
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 1: sac clear Meck goes right around Riley Rife, the left tackle,

548
00:27:58,320 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: and it was more of that the rest of the way.

549
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,640
Speaker 1: This is an underman Bears defense playing without ro Kuan

550
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: Smith and a chemicks, two very good starters. They plug

551
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: in Nick Williams and Nick Quickkowski and against this Vikings

552
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: offensive line, those two guys combine for seventeen tackles in

553
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: three sacks, another tackle for loss. These guys were fired

554
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 1: up and the Bears just absolutely dominated. To me, this

555
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: is more about the Bears defense than it is about

556
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 1: the Vikings offense. And if you're looking for a scapegoat,

557
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: it's the Vikings offensive line that is just not good.

558
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: And they were the scapegoat through all of last season

559
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 1: two and they thought they fixed those issues. If you're

560
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:36,120
Speaker 1: a Bears fan, because Chase Daniel comes in today and

561
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: you know he knows Matt Niggy's offense, been with Matt

562
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: Niggy longer than Mitch Robinsky. How concerned are you about

563
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: Mitch Raisky being out for a while because I thought

564
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: Chase Daniel came in sight unseen and played pretty good game. Well,

565
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: I think history is instructive here, and last year he

566
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: came in, played the game manager role, nurse a lead.

567
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: Eddie Jackson had a pick six to help them win

568
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 1: a game on Thanksgiving against the Lions, and the next

569
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: week when nobody he's paying attention to the game. He

570
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: goes and gives it to a bad Giants team and

571
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: they lose with his two interceptions. I just think we

572
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: know who Chase Daniel is and he did a great

573
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 1: job today. His job is to play the game manager,

574
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: let the defense win the game for you, and when

575
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 1: things are going right, he's capable of doing that. But

576
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: he's just as capable of giving the ball to the

577
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: other team. And you see that he processes faster than

578
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: miss Robinsky, which you would expect from a veteran. His

579
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: ball placement is better than Mitch Drobinsky, who is an

580
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: inaccurate passer. You'll see that the Bears will miss Mitch

581
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: Robinsky's arm strength and athleticism when they play Chase Dames. Well.

582
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 1: To me, history is instructive, and that history started. June twenty,

583
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: two thousand thirteen went around the NFL editor Greg Rosenthal

584
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: wrote up Chase Daniel, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback as making

585
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: the leap Canada. It's not too late West. He comes

586
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: in and directs force, scoring drives out of the first

587
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: five or six possessions. Let's go, Let's ride. Is there

588
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 1: an exploration data? No? I think it always and even

589
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: development could make the lead inspired last year against the Giants.

590
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, though, if the story is written

591
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: about his making the leap with the Chiefs, by the

592
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 1: way to get credit for my favorite part is the

593
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 1: headline making the leap come on number thirty five. I

594
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: did a top forty countdown that yearly. Yeah, I think

595
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: that's what I mean. I mean, nonsense, Um West, You're

596
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: saying makes so much sense about Daniel. He doesn't need

597
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: to be a star, just like Mitch Robiscuit doesn't need

598
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: to be the star. Kind of get out of the

599
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 1: way a little bit. Just do what you have to do,

600
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: be a game manager, and this team could be playing

601
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: in the in the first Sunday in February. I think

602
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 1: this defense is every bit as good as left. It's

603
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: an unbelievable defense. And and that's two things I'm learning.

604
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: We're amazingly a quarter through the regular season. Now for

605
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: the most part, one of the Bears defense is just

606
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: as good, if not better, as than it was last year.

607
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 1: So look out. And number two, I was I was

608
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: big on the Vikings heading into the season. I'm shook

609
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: now because this game, especially when the other team loses

610
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: their starting quarterback and then you don't even you're not

611
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: really competitive there. They are several steps blowhards the Vikings.

612
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: You know there's a long way to go, but they

613
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: to me, I they've lost my trust in terms of

614
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: as soon as they're put into And it's not just

615
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: a Kirk Cousins thing. I don't love Kirk Cousins either.

616
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,719
Speaker 1: I don't feel like he's gonna suddenly go on some

617
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 1: hot streak and win nine games and it's fair and

618
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: like I just to me, Minnesota feels like you're ceiling

619
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: is about nine wins and if you ever snuck into

620
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: the playoffs, as soon as your environment becomes unfriendly on

621
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: any level, bye bye. This divisions gotta be tough and

622
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 1: this is a bad road loss. And the takeaway I

623
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:36,479
Speaker 1: think though, is that you know, ultimately these teams are

624
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 1: built similarly. The Vikings have so much money in their defense.

625
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 1: EVE been building it up for a long time and

626
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 1: it's it's a good defense, but it's nowhere near as

627
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: good as the Bears, and that's the difference. I agree

628
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: with that. And don't let Mike Zimmer off the hook

629
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: for this one either. He cost his team three points

630
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: by calling a time out when the Bears were set

631
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: up to punt on the Vikings thirty four yard line

632
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: because their kicker has a bad plant leg and can't

633
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: make a fifty one yard field goal. Emer calls the

634
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: time out and Neggi says, all right, you can give

635
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: me time to think about it. We'll just pick up

636
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 1: the first down they go and get. They gotta pick

637
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 1: up a first down and kick a shorter field goal.

638
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: I I defer to your knowledge on this West and

639
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: you watch this game closely, Um, I don't. I don't know.

640
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: You're gonna let Cousins totally off the hook though. The

641
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: fact that he's is he is? He just a guy?

642
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:20,959
Speaker 1: Is that who is? And then if he doesn't have

643
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 1: the right set up around him, they're doomed because I

644
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 1: think when they signed him, I think they thought he

645
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 1: was more than that. I just don't want to litigate

646
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 1: this after every single game, like are we gonna do

647
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,239
Speaker 1: this after every State of the Union, after every Cousins game.

648
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: He's kind of a fascinated guy for people. From that perspective,

649
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 1: I get that I'm begging people to watch the game,

650
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 1: watch the game, and this is all Chicago's defense in

651
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: Minnesota's bad offensive lines and penalties, and the digs play

652
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: was a killer, Like nobody's gonna get on digs for

653
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: that fumble. All I'd say, though, is you look at

654
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 1: someone like Deshaun Watson, who has been sacked at like

655
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 1: near historic levels early in his career, and he's someone

656
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: that you know, it's not every week he creates and

657
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: comes up with stuff on his own under duress, and

658
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: I just don't need a better place. Well, I mean

659
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: he had, he had just this band of a game

660
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: his cousin. It's just that you've paid Kirk Cousins free agent.

661
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: It's not every week with the Shawn Watson, but Kirk

662
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: Cousin has been paid the kind of money where he's

663
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: gonna get talked about week to week. Let's uh, Let's

664
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: move on to the highest scoring game of week four.

665
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: Dropping under from the ball, it's loose, it's picked up

666
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 1: by the Buccaneers to the thirty. That's funny, to the fifteen.

667
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 1: Dombako suon again. I'm double and willy. Buccaneers are gonna

668
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: beat the Rams the mine six to go fifty four

669
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 1: big points on the West Coast, a record. Jean Decker

670
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: Fox Radio dock work Shack Mason, Strip, Jared Goff and

671
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: Dominican sus snatched the loose ball Tucket to the house.

672
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 1: You heard it, the clinching score in a fifty five

673
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: to forty win for the Buccaneers over the Rams at

674
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: the Coliseum. Jared Coff finished with over five on a

675
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: yard passing, but he had four turnovers in the rams

676
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: first loss of the season. The Bucks they got three

677
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: five yards and four touchdowns from Jamis Winston. West is

678
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: gonna have to eat humble pie about that. Wait, then,

679
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 1: Mariota has just as gonna have a game that's not

680
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 1: That's not what I'm saying. You've been decided with who

681
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 1: dismissed Winston's effort last week and indication on how we

682
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,959
Speaker 1: should look at this game. He carried that performance into

683
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: a second lights out performance. He has my attention. I

684
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: also think it's important to be anchored by four years

685
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: of data so you don't flow away once I got

686
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 1: your data right here. Anyway, Winston Winston had a big

687
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 1: day career day for Chris Godwin, who has who has

688
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,320
Speaker 1: emerged as one of the best second bananas in the

689
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 1: NFL behind Mike av Evans and the Bucks head to

690
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:56,839
Speaker 1: London at two and two? Is that right now? We're

691
00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 1: gonna see the Bucks in the Panthers. And I mean,

692
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,359
Speaker 1: if I just hit that kick this Bucks teams three

693
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: and one, I'm so excited about our trip to London.

694
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,760
Speaker 1: I'm getting ahead of myself. But uh yes, a really

695
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 1: really important win for the Bucks, who, as we know,

696
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: had their hearts ripped out when the kicker blew the

697
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 1: chip shot. After Bruce Arians, the coach moved them back

698
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,720
Speaker 1: five yards. They somehow lose a game to the Giants

699
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 1: at home, and they go to l A and they

700
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: absolutely light up the Rams and do not let do

701
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 1: not let the numbers fool you. Um. The Rams finished

702
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 1: with um well over five yards of total offense. But

703
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 1: Todd Bowls's defense did a good job overall in this game.

704
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:44,840
Speaker 1: A lot of that was just counting stats at the

705
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:48,400
Speaker 1: Rams piled up. They made big plays, and the Bucks

706
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: are two and two and gotta be feeling pretty good

707
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:54,800
Speaker 1: right now, very good in fact, especially because Bruce Arians

708
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,439
Speaker 1: was brought there to bring some the offense to life.

709
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 1: And now we've seen that two straight. Godwin's a one

710
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:04,839
Speaker 1: A right now. I mean, his numbers are right there

711
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 1: with anyone in the league. We've been honking about him

712
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 1: on this show since the end of his rookie year,

713
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 1: and there's not many slot guys like him in the

714
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:14,840
Speaker 1: league that's as good. At one when Arians said this

715
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 1: is gonna be a one hundred catch receiver and if

716
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:22,919
Speaker 1: a day like today twelve, he's right now. We said

717
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 1: after week two and Mark, you have the theory that

718
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 1: Arians maybe doesn't really be here. But after that those

719
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 1: first two weeks where the Winston was a messing Week one,

720
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 1: Week two, they get uh, they have another quiet game offensively,

721
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 1: but the defense does a nice job. The last two

722
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 1: weeks they've had almost a thousand yards of total yardage

723
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: on offense um. So there is absolutely potential here for

724
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: this to be a very good offense and who knows

725
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,720
Speaker 1: they could be that this could be a frisky team potential.

726
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 1: I don't want to get overly pumped up about the

727
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: bus because what West is right about is Winston does

728
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 1: suck people in a lot, and he will have moments

729
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,839
Speaker 1: like this or even games stretches and then throw three

730
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 1: interceptions in the first quarter in his next game. That

731
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,839
Speaker 1: could obviously happen, but you can only at this point

732
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 1: look at where they are right now and the fact

733
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:15,879
Speaker 1: that Winston is with Bruce arians for the first time,

734
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 1: and if you're a Bucks fan, look at that with

735
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 1: hope that maybe he is turning the corner. Well, the

736
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 1: credit he's the one calling the plays a right. I mean,

737
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,360
Speaker 1: the Bucks to me have been a team that you know,

738
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 1: coming out of hard knocks a couple of years ago,

739
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 1: there was a lot of optimism. Last year was old.

740
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 1: They added all these parts on defense, there's more optimism.

741
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 1: They've never been the sum of their parts, and today

742
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 1: you're finding out the last couple of weeks that they're

743
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 1: living up to their potential and you feel completely differently

744
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 1: about them. Well, even in this game, Winston through a

745
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 1: killer interception pick six late in the game that let

746
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 1: the Rams back in it. But then he responded with

747
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:53,800
Speaker 1: the touchdowns and then your boy Mark Sessler Shack Barrett

748
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 1: got one of those two sacks that he needs to

749
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 1: get to ten for the year. You said it's not

750
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 1: gonna happen. Yeah, Sandwiches, I said, what I because this

751
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 1: is gonna drift away to to talk about not anchored,

752
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:09,399
Speaker 1: is that these fast risers on like early season guys

753
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: that have eight sacks and three games that a lot

754
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 1: of times they end up with like nine, just like

755
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 1: the biggest play of the week on top of the last.

756
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 1: I would happily be wrong about him specifically, what I

757
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 1: was discussing is true as a statistical anomaly in the

758
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 1: NFL off happening. I don't think this is gonna be

759
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 1: a fun game to watch the game pass, but it

760
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: might set a record for the longest. The Rams had

761
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,879
Speaker 1: eighty one plays, the Bucks had seventy three. The Rams

762
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 1: only ran the ball eleven times. They dropped back seventy

763
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,880
Speaker 1: three times. They did what I think a lot of

764
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,840
Speaker 1: teams should do the second they fall down to the

765
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 1: three scores. Literally, don't run, throw the ball every single time,

766
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 1: and stretch out that game for as long as you can,

767
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,839
Speaker 1: because who knows, you might get into a situation where

768
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston throws you a pick six and it's a

769
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 1: one score game in the fourth quarter. They stretched this

770
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: thing out. Is the longest game I've ever said we

771
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:03,720
Speaker 1: would predict the game pass length. Let's try this forty

772
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 1: six this the winner gets sandwiches. How about that? Is

773
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 1: it the iPad version or the longer version of the

774
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 1: two I'm going for? Yeah, I think they're going to

775
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 1: find a way the editors to indulge themselves for no

776
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 1: one cares that except for us uh week. It was

777
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,359
Speaker 1: not a good game for golf. Todd Gurley we talked

778
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 1: about on Thursday, is this going to be his coming

779
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,879
Speaker 1: out party? Hasn't had a hundred yard game yet? And yes,

780
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 1: they threw the ball constantly, but five carries for sixteen yards,

781
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: did score two touchdowns. Um yeah, I mean Goff made

782
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 1: some pretty throws up that's the thing you're saying. It's

783
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 1: a bad game, and it was without turnouts, but he

784
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 1: did throw it for five yds, turning the ball over

785
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 1: a point. Well, this is the first time the Rams

786
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:54,399
Speaker 1: have fallen out of first place since Sean McVeigh was high.

787
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 1: And I don't know who this Rams team is. I

788
00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: thought they had an improved defense, and they give up

789
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: fifty five points to the Bucks and they still don't

790
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 1: have a consistent running game. But here's here's the thing

791
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: we saw it on Thursday night. Defense. You know, improved

792
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:11,839
Speaker 1: defenses are nice. It doesn't matter in the I mean

793
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 1: it does matter because you have to win different types

794
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:15,799
Speaker 1: of games. But they're gonna get blown out there. You're

795
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 1: gonna give up yards and points some game. It's two

796
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 1: thousand nineteen, even the Bears. I hate to say it.

797
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to score some points or else that

798
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 1: team is gonna, you know, get hit and knocked down

799
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 1: at some point. I mean, good defenses are not as

800
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:30,479
Speaker 1: good as great offenses. I want to give one final

801
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 1: shout out before we move on. Matt Gay, who got

802
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 1: killed by me and a lot of other people after

803
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 1: blowing the game last week. The place kicker, he drills

804
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:41,400
Speaker 1: a fifty eight yard or uh in this game, and

805
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:44,760
Speaker 1: then downstairs, well not only drilling, I mean he smacked

806
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 1: it up against the net. It just it's a guy

807
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,919
Speaker 1: that stepped up in a big spot. And then after

808
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 1: that terrible Winston picks six gave the Rams life and

809
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 1: it was forty five to forty I believe um or

810
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 1: in that range. Um he hits another field goal that

811
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 1: essentially gives them the distance they need to win the game.

812
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 1: So a nice bounce back before and Spike, can you

813
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,840
Speaker 1: believe that you've motivated him during the week with your comments?

814
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 1: Do you want my honest answer him? Yes, that's what

815
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 1: I would imagine. You say, Let's move on. I mean,

816
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 1: you asked me a question. I'm gonna answer down in six.

817
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 1: It's almost sack, but he keeps his ball. Now he

818
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 1: throws at the twelve yard line, first down. Panthers. Incredible,

819
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 1: cherious right from Kyle Allen who went off script and

820
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 1: played it just right. Mick mixing with that drawl Panther's

821
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:40,439
Speaker 1: radio network, nice and smooth. Kyle Allen evaded ashore sack

822
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 1: by J. J. Watt delivered a huge completion the most

823
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 1: important play in the Panthers thirteen ten win over the

824
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:49,839
Speaker 1: Texans in Houston. Alan lost three fumbles in the game,

825
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 1: but the Caroline defense stepped up huge and shutting down

826
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:57,279
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. Nuke and the Texans offense. West had the

827
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: Panthers do this well. They're defense has fourteen sacks and

828
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 1: four takeaways in two games since Cam Newton went down

829
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 1: with it foot injury. They sacked Kyler Murray eight times

830
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:10,359
Speaker 1: a week ago, and they sacked Deshaun Watson six times today,

831
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 1: hit him eleven times, hurried him nineteen times. And we

832
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 1: know that some of that is on the offensive line

833
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:18,840
Speaker 1: and some of that is on Deshaun Watson's playing style.

834
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 1: And to Mark's point about Kirk Cousins who it can

835
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:26,240
Speaker 1: be said that he holds the ball and then probably

836
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 1: checks down too often. Deshaun Watson holds the ball to

837
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: go for big plays, and today he missed a few

838
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 1: of them. He had some open and he missed them.

839
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: And he said after the game, look that's on me.

840
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 1: I held the ball too long and I didn't hit

841
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: the big plays. That's his playing style. He holds the

842
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 1: ball too long, which contributes to his hits and sacks.

843
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:46,759
Speaker 1: I think this offense is fixable. They've been under I

844
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,760
Speaker 1: believe thirteen points are under in two the last three weeks.

845
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 1: Let's get some sink uh. Let's get some rapport between

846
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 1: Watson and his offensive line on that and his receivers.

847
00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 1: But you have to give the Panther secondary a lot

848
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 1: of credit to or Kenny Stills injured his hamstring in

849
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 1: the first quarter and was their leading receiver midway through

850
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. James Bradberry did a really good job

851
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 1: on DeAndre Hopkins today and the Panthers defense was lights out.

852
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:13,919
Speaker 1: Hopkins forty one yards. There's not too many weeks where

853
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:16,320
Speaker 1: he's not. No matter how the team is faring, he

854
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 1: always produces, and through an interception a very costly interception

855
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 1: on a trick play, and Bill O'Brien killed himself for

856
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 1: the play call After the game, weren't we just discussing

857
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien and his lead pastor individual outside the building

858
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 1: as front office executives of the year and them as

859
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 1: the favorites in the a f C South, which I

860
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 1: still think they are. But it's a division, you know,

861
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 1: spoiler alert. Everyone has the same record right now. I

862
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 1: think they're the most talented, but they're they're not a

863
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:44,799
Speaker 1: team that's you know, bulletproof, especially when they're playing Lazarus.

864
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 1: I mean Ron Rivera, we talked about it a couple

865
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,319
Speaker 1: of weeks ago. He rises from the dead. Every time

866
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 1: you think he's about to lose his job, what do

867
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:53,480
Speaker 1: they do? They smack around the Cardinals on the road.

868
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 1: They have defense shows up like that. That's kind of

869
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 1: what Ron Rivera has been able to do over the years.

870
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:00,359
Speaker 1: At a certain point, you kind of you just gotta

871
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:02,400
Speaker 1: figure that's what he does. That's his movie's gonna use

872
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 1: it well. I think we see their formula now and

873
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:06,400
Speaker 1: it might be similar to what the Bears have going on.

874
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 1: They probably trust Kyle aw In a little bit more

875
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 1: than the Bears trust their quarterbacks because Kyle Allen's played

876
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,440
Speaker 1: pretty well outside of the three strip secks today once

877
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 1: she lost three fumbles. And that's my biggest concern with

878
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:19,279
Speaker 1: him is how he deals with pressure. But you can

879
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 1: see that he's got the touch, he's got the accuracy,

880
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 1: he makes pretty good decisions, and he's got an m

881
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 1: VP candidate at running back. Christian McCaffrey thirty seven touches today,

882
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 1: a D seventy nine yards. He put the team on

883
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:35,759
Speaker 1: his back. He had also and if you haven't looked

884
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 1: at the replay, go find this third down catch where

885
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,400
Speaker 1: it's bobbled through the air and it's the one of

886
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:44,400
Speaker 1: the more acrobatic athletic movements you'll see all season. And

887
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 1: they're developing an identity. Brian Burns is playing with his

888
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:52,280
Speaker 1: hair on fire. They have done Terry Poe and Mario Addison,

889
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 1: Jack Thompson without Kwan short shack. Thompson doesn't leave the

890
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:58,839
Speaker 1: field now he's replaced Thomas Davis. They got a lot

891
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 1: of pieces. I understand you're in a tough spot with

892
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 1: Cam Newton out and Alan who's shown things, but still

893
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 1: you you really need McCaffrey to be your centerpiece. I'd

894
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:10,439
Speaker 1: be curious to check out where his touches are through

895
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 1: four games. They don't want to manage that a little bit.

896
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 1: You don't want to be doing thirty seven. He's so

897
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:17,839
Speaker 1: valuable they don't think they can take him off the field.

898
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 1: And part of that it has to do with the

899
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 1: fact that they've never really had a great backup behind him.

900
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 1: All right, Uh, let's go to the a f C

901
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:27,839
Speaker 1: A West South showdown. That just stays in the gun

902
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 1: on this first down and ten again intercepted. Gonna be

903
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:36,040
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Gotta be a touchdown, Eric Harris lot a game,

904
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:38,759
Speaker 1: it's safety. Well, that's one of the finest places I've

905
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 1: seen Eric Harris making wide money lots, aren't. Let's go

906
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 1: to London Boys Bred Glussburger of course, the Icon and

907
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 1: Lincoln Kennedy with inside therrif k CBS. Rick Carris stepped

908
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 1: in front of the Uh, Derek Carr passed, excuse me?

909
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,279
Speaker 1: Eric carrs stepped in front of a Jacoby Brissette pass

910
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 1: and took it earty yards to the house, the clinching

911
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 1: touchdown in the Raiders over the Colts. The Raiders got

912
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:11,440
Speaker 1: a huge play there by Harris because it did feel

913
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 1: like a game that had the potential to slip away

914
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 1: from Oakland. The Raiders, who had done really nothing on offense.

915
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 1: In fact, they had two scoring drives in their previous

916
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 1: eighteen possessions entering this game. They get up fourteen nothing early.

917
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 1: In fact, they scored three touchdowns in their first four

918
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 1: possessions the Raiders in this game, but then go cold again.

919
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 1: Uh so car Derek Carr finished fast ends up throwing

920
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 1: for less than two hundred yards, and at the point

921
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:42,840
Speaker 1: when that final interception was made, it seemed like the

922
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:44,719
Speaker 1: Colts were gonna find a way to win this game,

923
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:48,360
Speaker 1: but instead the Raiders get it done. And uh I

924
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:51,759
Speaker 1: just think John Gruden on balanced so far again. We're

925
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 1: at the quarter pole. I know they said there's no

926
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 1: such thing as a quarter pole. Well I guess what.

927
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:57,879
Speaker 1: I don't care what you say. Oh the horse racing fans,

928
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:00,440
Speaker 1: all three of them, get upset about it at the

929
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 1: quarter poles. How about you keep your horses alive a

930
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 1: little better? At the Quarner poll. The Raiders are two

931
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 1: and two and they are on a absolute marathon road trip.

932
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:14,759
Speaker 1: It's absurd the way this has been set up and

933
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:17,640
Speaker 1: John Gruden, love him or hate him, uh, he has

934
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 1: right to be annoyed. The fact that they're going forty

935
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 1: two days between home games and how about umb botch

936
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:28,359
Speaker 1: your stadium situation and not be able to afford sim

937
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 1: that you have to give up your game and go

938
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 1: to London. Everything. The guys in the locker room have

939
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 1: nothing to do, get it, but they still this is

940
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 1: their second road game. Now they go to London where

941
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 1: they're the quote unquote home team. Then they have a bye,

942
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 1: then two more road games. They don't play at home

943
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 1: again until November three, um against the Lions. I believe.

944
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:50,440
Speaker 1: So any win you can get during the stretch, if

945
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 1: you could survive this this brutal uh slate where you're

946
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:56,720
Speaker 1: just traveling constantly, and you could be in good shape.

947
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 1: Well maybe when you get back home you could be

948
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:01,960
Speaker 1: a little frisky to Thanksgiving and and so far. Again,

949
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:04,520
Speaker 1: the Raiders not not a great team, probably not even

950
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 1: a good team, but they are showing fight and this

951
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:11,320
Speaker 1: was a really nice effort on the road against a

952
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 1: Cults team that we all like a lot. Yeah, and credit,

953
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 1: I mean we there's all those studies every time the

954
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:18,919
Speaker 1: Raiders have to travel East and play the early game.

955
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:20,800
Speaker 1: How they're like one and a billion when they have

956
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:22,879
Speaker 1: to do that. So credit to them, I will say,

957
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 1: though they caught the Cults at the right time. You've

958
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:29,560
Speaker 1: got t Y Hilton out, Darius leonard In, a defensive

959
00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:32,440
Speaker 1: Player of the Year candidate out with a concussion, maliek

960
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 1: Cooker at safety out, and they lost Marlon Mack for

961
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 1: a big chunk of this game. They're deep team and

962
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:40,319
Speaker 1: they're well built, but you get to a point where

963
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 1: you can't compete. I agree with that, and you you

964
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:44,880
Speaker 1: could see that, and when you guys check this game out,

965
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 1: you'll see it too that Brissette really did look a

966
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:50,719
Speaker 1: little bit lost without t Y Hilton, who was so

967
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 1: important in this offense. When we saw that when he

968
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:55,560
Speaker 1: was on the field in the first three games. He

969
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:59,040
Speaker 1: is Brissets go to guy when it counts, and with

970
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:01,840
Speaker 1: him on the sideline, and uh, they barely moved the

971
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:03,320
Speaker 1: ball for the most of this game. They finished with

972
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:06,840
Speaker 1: three forty six yards, which is not great but not terrible.

973
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:09,360
Speaker 1: But then just know that more than half of that

974
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:11,520
Speaker 1: yardage came in the fourth quarter when it was just

975
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:14,120
Speaker 1: a man scramble to try to get back into the game,

976
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:16,240
Speaker 1: so Indy kind of had a lost day on offense.

977
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:19,800
Speaker 1: Um shorthanded a wide receiver. Bunches, of course, is also

978
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:23,240
Speaker 1: out and Um and the Raiders showed up and balled

979
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 1: out and the Raiders leading receivers Darren Waller again seven

980
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 1: for fifty three. West mentioned, you know that Eric Ebron

981
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:33,120
Speaker 1: might be the next thousand yard tight end or thousand

982
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:34,880
Speaker 1: drop tight end. No, I don't think it was. I mean,

983
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 1: not Eric Ebron, Evan Evan Ingram. Yeah, Waller's on pace

984
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 1: and then something you look he's got, He's got three

985
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 1: hundred plus yards. He's writing quite a story. I mean,

986
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 1: he might be a Pro Bowl type of tight en.

987
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:48,799
Speaker 1: He has really fun to watch. He's come back from

988
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:51,400
Speaker 1: you know, addiction. He's a guy that John Gordon literally

989
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 1: signed because he liked the way he looked on the sideline.

990
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:57,200
Speaker 1: And it's wild then that he's a leading receiver on

991
00:49:57,360 --> 00:49:59,800
Speaker 1: two and two an NFL team ultra rare hard Knocks.

992
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:01,839
Speaker 1: It's so easy to fall in love with Hard Knocks

993
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 1: players that are featured on the show. And like Greg said,

994
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 1: his addiction backstory made him a compelling figure on the show,

995
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 1: and then he would be killing it in these slow

996
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:13,960
Speaker 1: motion NFL films practice highlights, and then he steps into

997
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 1: action is just as good. You never see that in

998
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:18,160
Speaker 1: hard knocks. It always plays you for a fool, But

999
00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:20,840
Speaker 1: not in this case. Can we talk about a generational

1000
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:26,800
Speaker 1: cheap shot artist, dirty player? Oh my god, Yes, Vonte's perfect,

1001
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 1: absolutely as cheap shot as a cheap shot can be. Uh.

1002
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:33,960
Speaker 1: Goes for Jack Doyle, who is in a very vulnerable

1003
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:37,000
Speaker 1: position after making a catch, goes helmet to helmet, and

1004
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 1: good on on the officiating crew who take a look

1005
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:44,000
Speaker 1: at the play. And in addition to the fifteen yard

1006
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:47,440
Speaker 1: personal foul, say get addie here, Vante's perfect? And at

1007
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:49,560
Speaker 1: what point is the NFL just gonna say get Addie

1008
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 1: here Vante's perfect? Period, I've got a couple of steps

1009
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 1: for you. Okay, let's hear him. Last year, the league

1010
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:58,440
Speaker 1: imposed more than one sixty five thousand dollars in fines

1011
00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 1: against perfect are illegal hits. That's just last year alone.

1012
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:05,400
Speaker 1: This is from the Football Zebras Twitter account. There are

1013
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:09,279
Speaker 1: six times in one years of nl NFL history when

1014
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 1: a player was suspended multiple games for an on field infraction.

1015
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:15,879
Speaker 1: Two of those times are Vontes perfect, and I would

1016
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:18,120
Speaker 1: bet it's about to be three of those. If you're

1017
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:20,840
Speaker 1: if you're going to London, you're gonna see Chack the

1018
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 1: game next week, which looks pretty good all things considered.

1019
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:26,000
Speaker 1: Raiders bears at three and one versus two and two,

1020
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:27,680
Speaker 1: and I don't think you're gonna see Mitchell Robinsky. I

1021
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:30,839
Speaker 1: don't think you're gonna see Vont's perfect perfect. I got

1022
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 1: even one of these fines, my bank account, our entire

1023
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:37,200
Speaker 1: family structure would crumble. I can't get a don't stop

1024
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:43,359
Speaker 1: the run. God, it takes shotgun staff. He's back to throw,

1025
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:45,880
Speaker 1: he's under pressure. He throws it off the stuff he

1026
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:48,320
Speaker 1: throw it like pick off five Peppers putting down the

1027
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:54,200
Speaker 1: right fuse t puts down Giants. Peppers hostetures under pressure.

1028
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:57,720
Speaker 1: The throw was laid off the back foot. Pepper spread

1029
00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 1: it all the way that your brow pup bixis Bob

1030
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:05,040
Speaker 1: Papa with a call w f A and Jabrill. Pepper's

1031
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:07,719
Speaker 1: first year as a Giant scored on a thirty two

1032
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:10,640
Speaker 1: yard interception return, the knockout blow for the Giants and

1033
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 1: an easy three win over the more of under Washington Redskins.

1034
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:17,160
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones is now two and oh as the starter

1035
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:20,000
Speaker 1: Wayne Gallman ran for two scores and plays of se

1036
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:24,440
Speaker 1: Quon Barkley Mark Dwayne Haskins made his debut for the Redskins.

1037
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:31,759
Speaker 1: But there's no stopping the suddenly resurgeon je. Honestly, I

1038
00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:37,400
Speaker 1: know they're not a complete team, but the right to

1039
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 1: bring that chant back and do that as much as

1040
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:42,239
Speaker 1: you want because they are fun to watch and I

1041
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:45,800
Speaker 1: know that the the knock is their defense is utterly inept.

1042
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:48,080
Speaker 1: Not today, I realize you're playing a team in the

1043
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:51,200
Speaker 1: Redskins that at this point I would put around Dolphins

1044
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:54,759
Speaker 1: level in terms of unwatchability and uh in terms of

1045
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:58,719
Speaker 1: their on field capabilities, planned lists like you know, they

1046
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:01,160
Speaker 1: couldn't have made it more a parent that Dwayne Haskins

1047
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:03,920
Speaker 1: was not ready for prime time with coach with the

1048
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:08,319
Speaker 1: coaches comments, you know, hammering that to us week after week,

1049
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:10,440
Speaker 1: and you put him on the field today because case

1050
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:13,560
Speaker 1: keenom is is not functioning at all as your starter,

1051
00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 1: big surprise. Who saw that coming? And Haskins was absolutely

1052
00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:21,040
Speaker 1: victimized and I he he is just he for what

1053
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:23,120
Speaker 1: he does well, he's got a big arm. He's also

1054
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:28,279
Speaker 1: just not he's not seen the field and so you know,

1055
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:31,440
Speaker 1: that was true from the coaching staff. And with Daniel Jones,

1056
00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:34,320
Speaker 1: you know, he there were there were some issues in

1057
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:36,879
Speaker 1: this game for him. He had a couple of bad interceptions.

1058
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:39,560
Speaker 1: But what I love was that Patcher made the comment

1059
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:42,480
Speaker 1: after that after he threw the two picks on the sideline,

1060
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:45,359
Speaker 1: it wasn't like a rattled you know, deer and headlights time. Thing,

1061
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:49,120
Speaker 1: totally composed, came back, made some big throws when he's

1062
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:51,480
Speaker 1: on the field. Guys like Sterling Shepard, we've talked about

1063
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:54,760
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram come to life. Wayne Gallman, as you mentioned,

1064
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:56,399
Speaker 1: had a big game, and I thought that they It's

1065
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:58,279
Speaker 1: not that they didn't miss se Quon Barkley because he's

1066
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:00,920
Speaker 1: a super special talent, but it ran for a hundred

1067
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:03,680
Speaker 1: and sixty four yards at four point four yards per carry.

1068
00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:07,320
Speaker 1: With Jones in there, everything just functions a little bit differently,

1069
00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:10,400
Speaker 1: clean water, fresh stream, not a dirty pond like they

1070
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:15,760
Speaker 1: were with Eli Manning. The Redskins stink, but they also

1071
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:18,719
Speaker 1: won twenty four to three, and they didn't get they did.

1072
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 1: You know, the Redskins have had a couple of quarters

1073
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:23,080
Speaker 1: where they put points up on other teams. They didn't

1074
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:25,640
Speaker 1: against New York today. Right, we give the Bears credit

1075
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:28,759
Speaker 1: for totally shutting down the Redskins. I think it's significant

1076
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:30,960
Speaker 1: that they held the Redskins the hundred and seventies six

1077
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:33,319
Speaker 1: yards and three points. If you're not gonna if you're

1078
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:37,680
Speaker 1: gonna give the Patriots credits for like trouncing the week

1079
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:41,880
Speaker 1: sisters of the NFL, that's what competent defenses can do. Now,

1080
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:43,800
Speaker 1: I don't think the Giants defense is suddenly going to

1081
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:46,440
Speaker 1: be competent, but can they improve? You know, teams change

1082
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:48,359
Speaker 1: a lot during the course of this season. They're gonna

1083
00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:50,840
Speaker 1: be totally different December. Can they improve from the thirty

1084
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:54,240
Speaker 1: second best defense in the league to somewhere around twenty

1085
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:57,239
Speaker 1: or twenty three like the rest of the way. Is

1086
00:54:57,320 --> 00:54:59,840
Speaker 1: that possible that they can scheme that up and that

1087
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:02,600
Speaker 1: will help them be competitive with a young quarterback? Like

1088
00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:05,480
Speaker 1: I think that's possible. And now this is an outlier

1089
00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:08,799
Speaker 1: and something it's something to watch. And there two and two, Well,

1090
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:11,399
Speaker 1: it helps when you're not you know, with the Eli

1091
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:13,279
Speaker 1: in there. And it's not just on Eli Manning, it's

1092
00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 1: highly but they were three and out operation that had

1093
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:19,879
Speaker 1: it seemingly planned one offensive drive and then they dry

1094
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 1: up the attack the entire rest of the game. That's

1095
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:24,520
Speaker 1: not true. Now Danny Dimes gets golden tape back next

1096
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:26,880
Speaker 1: week too. You know, I just clicked into a New

1097
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:31,200
Speaker 1: York Post story um about Landon Collins. You know, I guess, yeah,

1098
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:34,280
Speaker 1: his first game I forgot and that you know obviously

1099
00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:36,160
Speaker 1: didn't work out for him. But what I really want

1100
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:38,400
Speaker 1: to bring up is on the sidebar of the New

1101
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:41,320
Speaker 1: York Post there's a trending now in sports section with

1102
00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:44,359
Speaker 1: three headlines, and I just want to read them off

1103
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:48,120
Speaker 1: because they're all compelling. Odell Beckham is choked out in

1104
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:52,600
Speaker 1: Brown's Raven Raven's fight NFL villain at it again with

1105
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:55,399
Speaker 1: ghastly head shot. I assume that's our friend Ron Tess

1106
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 1: perfect and Bill's coach escorts Bill Belichick's son off field

1107
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:04,640
Speaker 1: in sketchy scene. Who is what? It's like a gossip?

1108
00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:07,279
Speaker 1: And that was the third one that was the best,

1109
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:10,839
Speaker 1: like website for pro booball the post. Nick Dermott got

1110
00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:15,719
Speaker 1: all fired up at not Steve Belichick, but another bellotchick

1111
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:20,120
Speaker 1: and another Patriots stafford who was like watching the Bills

1112
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:22,280
Speaker 1: warm up and they got into some sort of argument.

1113
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:24,560
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott was one of them. No, he was. He

1114
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:26,440
Speaker 1: was in. It was all. It was all on video.

1115
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:29,880
Speaker 1: This was a big story, you know, for the pregame shows.

1116
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:32,840
Speaker 1: And then everyone realized like, okay, it was just he

1117
00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:34,919
Speaker 1: shoot them off the field. You don't want to mess

1118
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:37,399
Speaker 1: with McDermott. That's that's a state high school wrestling champ,

1119
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:40,279
Speaker 1: isn't it that he was? He was a wrestler. All right,

1120
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:42,839
Speaker 1: let's move on. He told us that New York Post. Yeah,

1121
00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:55,400
Speaker 1: you know how to intercepted Clowny? Hello, Mr Clowney touchdowns

1122
00:56:56,280 --> 00:57:00,840
Speaker 1: debian Clowney stretched out, reaches arm almost to the ceiling,

1123
00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:04,040
Speaker 1: pulled the ball down on a screen pass and took

1124
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:08,000
Speaker 1: it about thirty yards for six. Seattle goes on top

1125
00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:11,680
Speaker 1: now by a score of nine. Enough, that's how you

1126
00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:15,160
Speaker 1: do a radio broadcast, Steve Rabel Dave Wyman on the

1127
00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:17,800
Speaker 1: call Seahawks Radio Network to Dave and Clowney, you look

1128
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 1: like a tight end on his interception return, covering twenty

1129
00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:24,320
Speaker 1: seven yards for a tv UH Seattle's first score touchdown

1130
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:32,520
Speaker 1: of the day over the morabund Arizona art right. Michael

1131
00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:35,040
Speaker 1: Kendricks finished with two sacks. Chris Carson went over a

1132
00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:37,720
Speaker 1: hundred yards for the Seahawks, who are three and one

1133
00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:40,800
Speaker 1: with a huge Week five matchup against the Rams looming. Greg,

1134
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:44,280
Speaker 1: What did you take out of this game? That the

1135
00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:47,880
Speaker 1: Seahawks are ready to win some games like easily, That

1136
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:52,280
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson doesn't need to do crazy things to be

1137
00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:54,640
Speaker 1: an m v P contender through a quarter of the

1138
00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:57,320
Speaker 1: season eight point six yards per attempt, doesn't have an

1139
00:57:57,360 --> 00:58:01,040
Speaker 1: interception this year, eight touchdowns for him, and that they

1140
00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:03,800
Speaker 1: can just kind of have a no drama free game,

1141
00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:05,520
Speaker 1: like you never see that out of the Seahawks. They

1142
00:58:05,560 --> 00:58:10,080
Speaker 1: were watching the Rams game and on their in their

1143
00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:13,000
Speaker 1: locker room, and when and Dominican Sue ran that touchdown

1144
00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:15,640
Speaker 1: for back for the Bucks, they erupted. And I like that.

1145
00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:17,720
Speaker 1: It's like there's a little bit of a rivalry there.

1146
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:19,960
Speaker 1: That's a Thursday night game this week. The forty niners

1147
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 1: are undefeated. This division is interesting except for the Cardinals.

1148
00:58:24,560 --> 00:58:26,680
Speaker 1: It's fun by the way, that who are not interesting.

1149
00:58:26,920 --> 00:58:28,960
Speaker 1: It's fun on Seahawks quarter. Do you want to come back?

1150
00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:32,040
Speaker 1: You're I never I never put your stuff away. It's

1151
00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 1: all your rooms. Just now I'm worrying. I'm watching him.

1152
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:39,080
Speaker 1: It's been fun. It's fun to watch him going in back.

1153
00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:40,760
Speaker 1: I guess I kind of wa back it. It's like

1154
00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:43,280
Speaker 1: when when they're turning will dis lee into a thing.

1155
00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:45,920
Speaker 1: Well this he has almost more catches this year than

1156
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:48,400
Speaker 1: he had his entire college career. He ran like a

1157
00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:50,680
Speaker 1: five to forty. He came out of nowhere and here

1158
00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:55,560
Speaker 1: he is as they're leading receiver coming off attending right,

1159
00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:58,600
Speaker 1: that's right. You gotta use Clowney on offense. The car Yeah,

1160
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:02,600
Speaker 1: the Cardinals are the one team that doesn't excite you,

1161
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:04,560
Speaker 1: and that's not what this was supposed to be. This

1162
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:07,200
Speaker 1: wasn't supposed to be a super Bowl campaign for the Cardinals.

1163
00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:09,840
Speaker 1: But the fact that they're not really moving the meter,

1164
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:11,880
Speaker 1: that's not a good Well. They were the unknown and

1165
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:15,680
Speaker 1: what we're knowing about them is not particularly interesting and

1166
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:18,720
Speaker 1: not interesting is not what I expected. I thought it

1167
00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:21,760
Speaker 1: would either be an epic disaster or something. The Corners

1168
00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:25,600
Speaker 1: shocked the league and it's kind of it's just middle place.

1169
00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:27,480
Speaker 1: They haven't won a game, and they got blown out

1170
00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:29,400
Speaker 1: twice at home in a row here, so that that's

1171
00:59:29,400 --> 00:59:31,840
Speaker 1: a bad sign. David Johnson looked better today. Hundred and

1172
00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:34,960
Speaker 1: thirty three yards from scrimmage. I thought he had some

1173
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:37,720
Speaker 1: of his old juice, which was nicely. But here's what

1174
00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:39,560
Speaker 1: not on the ground though, what's going on with it?

1175
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:44,040
Speaker 1: He's had they were trailing, you know, that Clowney injury happened.

1176
00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:46,160
Speaker 1: I mean, the Clowney touchdown happened. They really went out

1177
00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:47,920
Speaker 1: of their way to establish Chris Carson, who had a

1178
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:50,520
Speaker 1: great game hundred forty two yards and it was just

1179
00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:53,840
Speaker 1: a nice This was a Sessler Fever dream game, as

1180
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:56,560
Speaker 1: we talked about downstairs. It was quick, it was over

1181
00:59:56,680 --> 00:59:59,919
Speaker 1: and under three hours easily. It was a blowout. I mean, cess,

1182
01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:03,920
Speaker 1: that's how that's how a pro football game should get. Execution,

1183
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:06,480
Speaker 1: shooting in the back of the head, bang, it's over quickly.

1184
01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:11,080
Speaker 1: Their linebackers. I'm really impressed by the Seahawks linebackers. They

1185
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:12,520
Speaker 1: never leave the field. They're the only team in the

1186
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:14,600
Speaker 1: league really that's like that. Michael Carroll said, this is

1187
01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:17,280
Speaker 1: the best linebacker quarries hand. I don't doubt if Michael

1188
01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:21,480
Speaker 1: Kendricks played awesome today. kJ Wright has played great last week.

1189
01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:24,400
Speaker 1: And you're playing a team that plays four receivers every

1190
01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:26,480
Speaker 1: snap or many steps, and yet you don't take your

1191
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:29,120
Speaker 1: linebackers off the field like that is tough to pull off.

1192
01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:31,520
Speaker 1: But you're when you're right. When you're talking about Kingsbury.

1193
01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:32,920
Speaker 1: You know, what we haven't seen out of them is

1194
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:36,720
Speaker 1: like a schematic advantage, you know what I mean? He

1195
01:00:36,840 --> 01:00:40,439
Speaker 1: hasn't come in and provided like I think Kyler Murray

1196
01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:42,919
Speaker 1: looks quite good. I think he had a fine game today,

1197
01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:46,080
Speaker 1: act despite the final score, which seems like we're, oh,

1198
01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:49,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna They're gonna revolutionize the game with the past happy.

1199
01:00:49,240 --> 01:00:52,000
Speaker 1: It's how every team in the league that isn't completely

1200
01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:55,080
Speaker 1: out of it is past happy at historic levels. So

1201
01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:57,160
Speaker 1: how different are they than anyone else? At this point?

1202
01:00:57,160 --> 01:00:59,520
Speaker 1: Where did uh Kyler Murray's height come in for this

1203
01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:03,320
Speaker 1: game two? I mean this was the short guy ball here,

1204
01:01:03,720 --> 01:01:08,240
Speaker 1: So shout out to short men everywhere. Stay strong, stay proud,

1205
01:01:09,080 --> 01:01:11,600
Speaker 1: you know we love you. He can't look too big

1206
01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:15,000
Speaker 1: with without Jenevian Clowney's streaking by him at like six

1207
01:01:15,040 --> 01:01:18,520
Speaker 1: ft eight. No, that was kind of a flukey, a

1208
01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:20,640
Speaker 1: tough play for him, But it's like the Cardinals have

1209
01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:23,959
Speaker 1: no ability to come back. Our friend Jason Somwalts ready

1210
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:27,280
Speaker 1: to call it a season. I think his counting numbers

1211
01:01:27,320 --> 01:01:29,600
Speaker 1: don't look that bad, Kyler Murray. But he's dropping back

1212
01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:34,600
Speaker 1: as much as anyone and getting first downs less than anyone. Problem.

1213
01:01:34,720 --> 01:01:38,520
Speaker 1: Let's move up I formation, single receiver Brown, wide layout

1214
01:01:38,600 --> 01:01:41,600
Speaker 1: playfing Mario to fires over the middle. There's Brown at

1215
01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:44,440
Speaker 1: the forty, at the thirty, five, at the thirty, at

1216
01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:47,680
Speaker 1: the five, at the twenty, at the fifty, at the ten,

1217
01:01:48,120 --> 01:02:00,080
Speaker 1: at the five tighten Jay Brown. Yeah, it's fun, my

1218
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:03,800
Speaker 1: Keith with a call. Titans Radio Network Marcus Mariota through

1219
01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:06,800
Speaker 1: three touchdown passes and one half. That's gotta be a record.

1220
01:02:07,280 --> 01:02:09,520
Speaker 1: Uh to to a J. Brown, including the one you

1221
01:02:09,600 --> 01:02:12,320
Speaker 1: just heard. And the Tennessee Tattoos snapped an ugly two

1222
01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:16,000
Speaker 1: game losing streak with to tend Road win over the

1223
01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:22,760
Speaker 1: stumbling the Moribunda in Atlanta Falcon wes uh. This is all.

1224
01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:24,840
Speaker 1: This is all a script for the Tytoons. Just when

1225
01:02:24,880 --> 01:02:27,200
Speaker 1: you're ready to write them off, they deliver a complete

1226
01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:30,000
Speaker 1: performance to remind you of their potential. But what does

1227
01:02:30,040 --> 01:02:33,000
Speaker 1: it mean in the big picture? They have the potential

1228
01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:34,440
Speaker 1: to go nine and seven and lose it in the

1229
01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:37,200
Speaker 1: first round of the playoffs. I'd be good luck figuring

1230
01:02:37,240 --> 01:02:41,520
Speaker 1: this team out. They it was so unusual to see

1231
01:02:41,560 --> 01:02:44,640
Speaker 1: a wide receiver making plays for the Titans. And A. J.

1232
01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:48,200
Speaker 1: Brown was beating Desmond Trufont today and you see right

1233
01:02:48,280 --> 01:02:50,920
Speaker 1: here making plays after the catch runs away, and it

1234
01:02:51,040 --> 01:02:52,600
Speaker 1: does remind me a little bit of a young and

1235
01:02:52,720 --> 01:02:55,840
Speaker 1: Quan Bold in the way he plays physical. He's very physical.

1236
01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:58,360
Speaker 1: He's good after the catch, and you don't see guys

1237
01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:01,400
Speaker 1: like Corey Davis, drafted fifth overall doin stuff like this. Now,

1238
01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:03,880
Speaker 1: Corey Davis did get a touchdown, but he's not making

1239
01:03:03,880 --> 01:03:06,480
Speaker 1: plays at the catch like that. Um. But the the

1240
01:03:06,600 --> 01:03:09,360
Speaker 1: receivers won the battle against the Falcon secondary that hasn't

1241
01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:12,000
Speaker 1: been very good this year. And the Falcons have fallen

1242
01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:16,120
Speaker 1: behind twenty eight to nothing to the Vikings, twenty three

1243
01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:18,800
Speaker 1: to the Colts, in two to seven to the Titans

1244
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:21,360
Speaker 1: by halftime. I mean this. This team has been out

1245
01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:23,960
Speaker 1: of three or four three of their four games. And

1246
01:03:24,960 --> 01:03:28,600
Speaker 1: it's pertinent that the head coach fired his top assistance

1247
01:03:28,680 --> 01:03:31,560
Speaker 1: last year, and the owner is paying out more cash

1248
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:34,560
Speaker 1: for his players than any other owner in the year

1249
01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:38,440
Speaker 1: two thousand nineteen. I'm bummed out. I'm always the guy

1250
01:03:38,520 --> 01:03:41,160
Speaker 1: who's not gonna say their seasons over or anything like that,

1251
01:03:41,480 --> 01:03:44,040
Speaker 1: but this this results. Seeing them go down like this

1252
01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:48,200
Speaker 1: today got me thinking, I will be bummed out if

1253
01:03:48,600 --> 01:03:54,400
Speaker 1: the Falcons era under Dimitroff doesn't get closer, it doesn't

1254
01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:56,200
Speaker 1: ever win that super Bowl, you know what I mean?

1255
01:03:56,320 --> 01:03:58,640
Speaker 1: Like if I I kind of get it both ways,

1256
01:03:59,120 --> 01:04:01,840
Speaker 1: what do you mean your your team is responsible for

1257
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:05,000
Speaker 1: the most destructive loss any team has ever suffered, and

1258
01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:09,040
Speaker 1: now you're gonna cry all about there that the Falcons, Well,

1259
01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:15,360
Speaker 1: then you should have been. I was like, you're playing

1260
01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:17,280
Speaker 1: both sides on this one. I was all about the

1261
01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:19,080
Speaker 1: Falcons the year after that. I just liked the whole

1262
01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:21,600
Speaker 1: vibe of the organization. And now I'm just surprised that

1263
01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:25,320
Speaker 1: there's there's this little fight right now to start. This

1264
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:27,440
Speaker 1: seems like a team that needs a soft reboot, and

1265
01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:30,160
Speaker 1: it's too early. It's both too early and too late

1266
01:04:30,440 --> 01:04:33,120
Speaker 1: because this season has already started there already in a

1267
01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:35,040
Speaker 1: deep hole now at one and three, not too deep.

1268
01:04:35,080 --> 01:04:37,280
Speaker 1: But it's not a great situation. But it's more the

1269
01:04:37,360 --> 01:04:40,000
Speaker 1: way that they're losing. Uh, and we all have to

1270
01:04:40,120 --> 01:04:43,120
Speaker 1: watch this game closer. But I mean it's the way

1271
01:04:44,680 --> 01:04:47,360
Speaker 1: is it one of those type you get from it

1272
01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:50,200
Speaker 1: other than the Falcons just doing very good? Is that

1273
01:04:50,280 --> 01:04:52,080
Speaker 1: what this is? They're just not a very good team. Well, look,

1274
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:54,280
Speaker 1: we can say they are a good team that's playing

1275
01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:56,880
Speaker 1: very poorly. I don't think they're very good. And we

1276
01:04:56,920 --> 01:04:59,120
Speaker 1: can say we like to mitrof and we like Quinn,

1277
01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:01,360
Speaker 1: and we do, but we don't like the product they've

1278
01:05:01,360 --> 01:05:04,280
Speaker 1: put on the field since the Super Bowl since Kyle Shanahan.

1279
01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:06,120
Speaker 1: The next year, I did, the next year, I did,

1280
01:05:06,200 --> 01:05:09,120
Speaker 1: but with Sarkasian's lost offense that year, I mean ever

1281
01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:11,880
Speaker 1: since Kyle Shanahan's left, What what is this team's identity? Well,

1282
01:05:11,920 --> 01:05:14,320
Speaker 1: and Quinn has talked about, you know, his defense, like Seattle,

1283
01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:18,040
Speaker 1: is going to be urgent, fast, disruptive and it. Mariota

1284
01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:20,520
Speaker 1: looked terrible in the Jaguars game, which feels like two

1285
01:05:20,560 --> 01:05:23,480
Speaker 1: years ago, because Jacksonville piled up nine sacks in that

1286
01:05:23,600 --> 01:05:25,479
Speaker 1: game and made life about as impossible as you could

1287
01:05:25,480 --> 01:05:28,680
Speaker 1: on the quarterback. None for the Falcons Today, Mariotta was

1288
01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:31,439
Speaker 1: kept clean on the subject of the Falcons. They did

1289
01:05:31,840 --> 01:05:34,840
Speaker 1: to their credit or as an organization and to the

1290
01:05:34,920 --> 01:05:38,760
Speaker 1: players and and Dan Quinn. They did recover from that

1291
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:43,960
Speaker 1: absolutely staggeringly terrible Super Bowl loss. Pass away from beating

1292
01:05:44,040 --> 01:05:46,520
Speaker 1: the Eagle at the KYL s in l A. When

1293
01:05:46,520 --> 01:05:49,080
Speaker 1: they beat a very good Rams team in the wild

1294
01:05:49,160 --> 01:05:51,960
Speaker 1: card round. They were, but really, since the moment Julio

1295
01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:55,120
Speaker 1: Jones slipped in the end zone in Philadelphia in that

1296
01:05:55,240 --> 01:05:57,480
Speaker 1: Division round playoff, it has just been kind of a

1297
01:05:57,560 --> 01:06:00,160
Speaker 1: sad slog for the Falcons. And I know they put

1298
01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:02,320
Speaker 1: up a lot of good numbers last year offensively, but

1299
01:06:02,680 --> 01:06:04,760
Speaker 1: this doesn't. It doesn't feel like this team has juice

1300
01:06:04,840 --> 01:06:07,400
Speaker 1: right now. And not sorry, they remind me of the Panthers,

1301
01:06:07,480 --> 01:06:09,800
Speaker 1: who it's just a reminder of how impossible it is

1302
01:06:09,880 --> 01:06:11,760
Speaker 1: to get back to the super Bowl. And you can

1303
01:06:11,840 --> 01:06:13,920
Speaker 1: still be competent, but it's not nearly good enough. I

1304
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:17,520
Speaker 1: think you can watched teams like the Broncos, Bengals, of Vikings,

1305
01:06:17,560 --> 01:06:19,640
Speaker 1: and Falcons and get frustrated with all four of them

1306
01:06:19,680 --> 01:06:22,120
Speaker 1: for the same reason. The offensive line is blowing things up.

1307
01:06:22,800 --> 01:06:25,520
Speaker 1: Quinn's gotta make a new T shirt. Yeah, they did

1308
01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:27,960
Speaker 1: this brotherhood one where they're all holding each other this

1309
01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:31,480
Speaker 1: last week didn't work. Who the Titans seven next week?

1310
01:06:31,560 --> 01:06:34,120
Speaker 1: A lot of T shirts I cannot wait to see.

1311
01:06:34,120 --> 01:06:36,960
Speaker 1: I think some of the angry Falcon T shirt now

1312
01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:41,720
Speaker 1: let's see the Titans have the Bills. Oh, that's pretty

1313
01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:45,000
Speaker 1: good at home, Josh Allen. We'll see if he's playing.

1314
01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:46,880
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're if your thing is you're looking

1315
01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:51,080
Speaker 1: for a back down turn it Bills. Well, not necessarily.

1316
01:06:51,520 --> 01:06:54,640
Speaker 1: They could Barkley in Nashville. They could put two or

1317
01:06:54,680 --> 01:06:56,240
Speaker 1: three good games together. What they need to do is

1318
01:06:56,240 --> 01:06:58,560
Speaker 1: show they could sustain. You know what I'm talking about.

1319
01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:01,360
Speaker 1: They're gonna they're gonn real me back in for a game.

1320
01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:04,120
Speaker 1: They don't need to stay in that range where they

1321
01:07:04,160 --> 01:07:07,240
Speaker 1: can get to nine. That's the goal. That cannot be

1322
01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:09,240
Speaker 1: the goal. The goal was supposed to be better than nine,

1323
01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:11,760
Speaker 1: but this seems to be their face. Credit to their

1324
01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:14,440
Speaker 1: secondary today too, which really controlled the game and held

1325
01:07:14,520 --> 01:07:17,720
Speaker 1: Julio Jones down for a while. Titans defense look good today.

1326
01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:20,080
Speaker 1: You know what I mean though, Greg Right, I don't

1327
01:07:20,120 --> 01:07:23,720
Speaker 1: mean to be uh overly passionate about it, but when

1328
01:07:23,760 --> 01:07:26,840
Speaker 1: you talk about how you really feel bad for the Falcons,

1329
01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:29,720
Speaker 1: you know, as a Patriots fan, you did this dune

1330
01:07:29,720 --> 01:07:36,880
Speaker 1: you created. I didn't anything. I didn't do any remember

1331
01:07:36,920 --> 01:07:40,240
Speaker 1: the photo in the box, I mean, the evil you had.

1332
01:07:40,400 --> 01:07:42,280
Speaker 1: We'll have to reservice that. It was, well, I don't

1333
01:07:42,280 --> 01:07:49,440
Speaker 1: even remember what which Patriots winning Super Bowl? Seattle satisfac alright,

1334
01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:53,640
Speaker 1: not evil satisfied Grid. Alright, let's keep moving. A thirty

1335
01:07:53,680 --> 01:07:56,240
Speaker 1: three yarder from just inside the left hash the Lambo.

1336
01:07:56,360 --> 01:07:58,960
Speaker 1: Here we go, Broke gets it down, Lambo kicks it

1337
01:07:59,080 --> 01:08:05,320
Speaker 1: up and field goal is good. Good. The field have

1338
01:08:05,480 --> 01:08:10,440
Speaker 1: beaten the Denver Bronco took four mile high stadium. This

1339
01:08:10,640 --> 01:08:16,240
Speaker 1: one belongs to do alright, right, Cranty, I like it. John.

1340
01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:20,719
Speaker 1: By the way, update breaking news. Mark saw the movie

1341
01:08:20,800 --> 01:08:29,320
Speaker 1: Sirens with j Los Sirens. Yeah, it was totally different films. Well,

1342
01:08:29,320 --> 01:08:30,960
Speaker 1: I want everyone to know that the scale has been

1343
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:33,519
Speaker 1: balanced out because I just thought it because Josh Lambo.

1344
01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:36,879
Speaker 1: Mark told us today that he saw Rambo in the theaters.

1345
01:08:37,360 --> 01:08:41,639
Speaker 1: Everything's even Rambo colon Last Blood and I'm not gonna

1346
01:08:42,120 --> 01:08:44,360
Speaker 1: By the way, last Blood is the stupidest name of

1347
01:08:44,439 --> 01:08:48,920
Speaker 1: the movie ever. I know there was First Blood. It's thematic.

1348
01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:51,360
Speaker 1: If you're looking for stupid, it was. But I kind

1349
01:08:51,400 --> 01:08:54,559
Speaker 1: of enjoyed the film to be first Blood last Blood.

1350
01:08:54,600 --> 01:08:56,640
Speaker 1: If you enjoyed it, I did because I went in

1351
01:08:56,800 --> 01:08:58,960
Speaker 1: thinking this is just gonna be ninety minutes of total

1352
01:08:59,280 --> 01:09:02,080
Speaker 1: you know, it's like last Blood until they cut off

1353
01:09:02,200 --> 01:09:05,120
Speaker 1: you know, stallone Social Security, then we'll go like last

1354
01:09:05,160 --> 01:09:07,600
Speaker 1: their blood. I don't think he's coming back from this

1355
01:09:07,680 --> 01:09:11,560
Speaker 1: one based on what I saw. But Josh Lambo not

1356
01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:14,960
Speaker 1: John Rambo went four for four on the day, including

1357
01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:17,280
Speaker 1: that game winner as time expired, lifting the Jacks to

1358
01:09:18,439 --> 01:09:23,320
Speaker 1: win over the still winless the moribund Denver broncos Gardner

1359
01:09:23,439 --> 01:09:26,400
Speaker 1: Minshew heated up in the fourth quarter after a slow start.

1360
01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:30,840
Speaker 1: Leonard four Nette had a career day with two yards

1361
01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:34,040
Speaker 1: on the ground on twenty nine carries. Mark Jalen Ramsey

1362
01:09:34,120 --> 01:09:36,599
Speaker 1: heroically he was able to summon the energy to come

1363
01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:38,640
Speaker 1: out of his home and be on the sidelines of

1364
01:09:38,720 --> 01:09:41,360
Speaker 1: this game. For this game, Uh well, he got a

1365
01:09:41,360 --> 01:09:43,280
Speaker 1: good show, We got an up close view and another

1366
01:09:43,360 --> 01:09:45,680
Speaker 1: exciting Jaguars win. He did. I've mentioned before that his

1367
01:09:45,760 --> 01:09:48,240
Speaker 1: focus is a laser focus and he he was zoned

1368
01:09:48,280 --> 01:09:50,600
Speaker 1: in on this game watching it from the sideline. Was

1369
01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:52,479
Speaker 1: he was he in a hospital bed on the sideline

1370
01:09:52,520 --> 01:09:54,040
Speaker 1: or was he able to stick up right? Where is he?

1371
01:09:54,160 --> 01:10:01,679
Speaker 1: Bat at? Physically? Seemed uh nimble and I was child

1372
01:10:01,760 --> 01:10:06,040
Speaker 1: It's not like they made that up that had a daughter. Man.

1373
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:09,519
Speaker 1: This game, and you know, it makes it look the

1374
01:10:09,640 --> 01:10:14,120
Speaker 1: score a little closer than it was, because you'd be

1375
01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:17,880
Speaker 1: hard pressed to find a contest where one team was

1376
01:10:17,960 --> 01:10:21,439
Speaker 1: as thoroughly dominated for a twenty minute stretch as Denver

1377
01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:25,880
Speaker 1: was in this contest. They they flat go through two

1378
01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:28,200
Speaker 1: early touchdowns that made you think this is the perfect

1379
01:10:28,200 --> 01:10:30,240
Speaker 1: way for Denver to get out of their own three hole,

1380
01:10:30,720 --> 01:10:33,040
Speaker 1: and Nick Chubb von Miller came to life. They sack

1381
01:10:33,080 --> 01:10:37,040
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew five times today, but before the half, flat

1382
01:10:37,160 --> 01:10:40,680
Speaker 1: go through an unforgivable pick that allowed the Jaguars to

1383
01:10:40,760 --> 01:10:43,000
Speaker 1: go down kick a field goal, and I believe that

1384
01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:45,479
Speaker 1: made it seventeen to six at the half. And then

1385
01:10:45,600 --> 01:10:48,320
Speaker 1: from there, Jacksonville came out of the locker room and

1386
01:10:48,680 --> 01:10:53,519
Speaker 1: absolutely dominated with a sixteen play touchdown drive. At one

1387
01:10:53,600 --> 01:10:56,160
Speaker 1: point in the going heading into the fourth quarter, they

1388
01:10:56,240 --> 01:10:58,559
Speaker 1: had held the ball for like thirteen and a half minutes.

1389
01:10:58,960 --> 01:11:01,040
Speaker 1: Denver was offense just taken out of the game. They

1390
01:11:01,080 --> 01:11:03,600
Speaker 1: weren't even allowed to come onto the field basically. And

1391
01:11:04,360 --> 01:11:07,040
Speaker 1: it was Leonard four Nette, the laughing stock of Thursday

1392
01:11:07,120 --> 01:11:12,160
Speaker 1: Night Football to thursdays ago, who dominated Denver's tired out defense.

1393
01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:15,760
Speaker 1: I think Denver's defense just got winded and exhausted by

1394
01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:18,640
Speaker 1: the end of this game, and they this allowed the

1395
01:11:18,720 --> 01:11:22,599
Speaker 1: running game. Jacksonville's ground game to absolutely explode late, which

1396
01:11:22,680 --> 01:11:26,679
Speaker 1: helped Minshew a lot. But Minshew also, despite getting hassled

1397
01:11:26,720 --> 01:11:28,519
Speaker 1: and he was on the run a bunch, showed some

1398
01:11:28,680 --> 01:11:31,120
Speaker 1: great movement in the pocket in this game. There's one

1399
01:11:31,200 --> 01:11:34,760
Speaker 1: play where he unfurled the completion, but he had to

1400
01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:37,080
Speaker 1: change direction in the pocket and climbing out of it

1401
01:11:37,320 --> 01:11:40,919
Speaker 1: like five or six times. And I am so impressed

1402
01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:44,360
Speaker 1: with he really did. I was so impressed with him because, yes,

1403
01:11:44,439 --> 01:11:46,519
Speaker 1: I know he is a nice mustache and all this business,

1404
01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:48,439
Speaker 1: and and you know they're milking that for all it's worth,

1405
01:11:48,520 --> 01:11:51,880
Speaker 1: and that's fine, but he is a player that gives

1406
01:11:51,960 --> 01:11:54,120
Speaker 1: me hope that in the in the a f C South,

1407
01:11:54,200 --> 01:11:56,960
Speaker 1: which is a weird division, I'm not counting them out.

1408
01:11:57,160 --> 01:12:01,720
Speaker 1: The reverse they when their defense did what it did

1409
01:12:01,720 --> 01:12:04,320
Speaker 1: against Tennessee where they're dropping nine sacks, they didn't happen.

1410
01:12:04,360 --> 01:12:07,040
Speaker 1: That didn't happen today. But they stepped stepped up around

1411
01:12:07,080 --> 01:12:10,000
Speaker 1: their quarterback and produced in a tough place to play.

1412
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:11,720
Speaker 1: I don't care if the Bronchos are owing four or not.

1413
01:12:12,080 --> 01:12:14,599
Speaker 1: That's a tough stadium to go into, and they came

1414
01:12:14,640 --> 01:12:17,000
Speaker 1: and delivered. It was go watch that third quarter. Total,

1415
01:12:17,240 --> 01:12:20,559
Speaker 1: he's been streaky, but when he's gotten hot, he's saved

1416
01:12:20,600 --> 01:12:23,360
Speaker 1: their season, basically because they could have been dead in

1417
01:12:23,439 --> 01:12:25,960
Speaker 1: the water after their starting quarterback goes out in Week

1418
01:12:26,040 --> 01:12:28,439
Speaker 1: one and instead he's a guy that while not a

1419
01:12:28,520 --> 01:12:31,519
Speaker 1: perfect quarterback and usually six round picks are not perfect,

1420
01:12:31,800 --> 01:12:35,080
Speaker 1: he seems to have a little bit of just he's

1421
01:12:35,080 --> 01:12:37,360
Speaker 1: not making mistakes and I think they're doing a good

1422
01:12:37,439 --> 01:12:39,559
Speaker 1: job calling plays for him. John d Filippo. He does

1423
01:12:39,640 --> 01:12:42,200
Speaker 1: not go down the field very often, but he doesn't

1424
01:12:42,240 --> 01:12:44,400
Speaker 1: put them in bad situations, and when they do go

1425
01:12:44,520 --> 01:12:47,879
Speaker 1: down the field, it's very effective. In time of possession

1426
01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:51,000
Speaker 1: in general is overrated, but when you get when you

1427
01:12:51,040 --> 01:12:54,160
Speaker 1: have forty minutes time of possession and it's almost all

1428
01:12:54,240 --> 01:12:57,720
Speaker 1: that advantages in the second half, there something happens to

1429
01:12:57,840 --> 01:12:59,519
Speaker 1: your defense and they and they went up and down

1430
01:12:59,560 --> 01:13:01,439
Speaker 1: the fens of the is the defense This was going

1431
01:13:01,520 --> 01:13:04,320
Speaker 1: to be, you know, the defense their game that you've

1432
01:13:04,360 --> 01:13:07,240
Speaker 1: waited for from Dick Fonio, and instead what you remember

1433
01:13:07,360 --> 01:13:09,679
Speaker 1: is that they absolutely got gashed down the down the stretch.

1434
01:13:10,360 --> 01:13:12,240
Speaker 1: Every time I looked up in this game, d J.

1435
01:13:12,439 --> 01:13:14,639
Speaker 1: Chark was having a big play taken away by penalty.

1436
01:13:14,680 --> 01:13:17,280
Speaker 1: It's been every week. Well it's phenomenal, but but he is.

1437
01:13:17,520 --> 01:13:20,840
Speaker 1: His connection with Minshew has been consistent. And forget D. D.

1438
01:13:20,960 --> 01:13:24,080
Speaker 1: Westbrook and the rest of him, he's the dude is Minshew.

1439
01:13:24,680 --> 01:13:27,080
Speaker 1: And I don't want to undersell his his future and

1440
01:13:27,160 --> 01:13:29,519
Speaker 1: he's obviously just starting out in the league. Is he

1441
01:13:29,640 --> 01:13:34,360
Speaker 1: potentially that the next generation Ryan's fitz Ryan Fitzpatrick like

1442
01:13:34,479 --> 01:13:38,840
Speaker 1: a fun perfect Well, I'm just saying Fitzpatrick is you know,

1443
01:13:38,960 --> 01:13:41,080
Speaker 1: thirteen years later or whatever it's been. Is had a

1444
01:13:41,160 --> 01:13:43,240
Speaker 1: lot of great moments in his career. Not a champion

1445
01:13:43,360 --> 01:13:46,599
Speaker 1: or anything. But I mean, even if that is his ceiling, Uh,

1446
01:13:46,840 --> 01:13:48,840
Speaker 1: that would I think the Jaguars would sign up for that,

1447
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:52,240
Speaker 1: considering uh what what what they were entering the season with. Well,

1448
01:13:52,280 --> 01:13:54,200
Speaker 1: let's put it this way, He's just created a ten

1449
01:13:54,280 --> 01:13:56,280
Speaker 1: year career for himself one way or the other. Right,

1450
01:13:56,280 --> 01:13:59,000
Speaker 1: I don't want to undersell his upside because if a

1451
01:13:59,080 --> 01:14:01,120
Speaker 1: first round pick k men and played the four games

1452
01:14:01,160 --> 01:14:03,920
Speaker 1: that he did, we we'd be you know, writing tea

1453
01:14:03,960 --> 01:14:07,800
Speaker 1: poems about him. They used Mark Sessler's phraseology. The Bills

1454
01:14:07,840 --> 01:14:10,880
Speaker 1: signed fits Fitzpatrick to that like sixty years, sixty million

1455
01:14:10,920 --> 01:14:12,760
Speaker 1: dollar contract at one point, and they only lasted a

1456
01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:15,280
Speaker 1: couple of years. But nobody really ever saw him as

1457
01:14:15,320 --> 01:14:18,320
Speaker 1: the franchise guy. There's a chance that Minshew could develop

1458
01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:20,519
Speaker 1: into well, there is a little tea boat about him,

1459
01:14:20,640 --> 01:14:22,679
Speaker 1: especially seeing them win on a game that it didn't

1460
01:14:22,680 --> 01:14:24,120
Speaker 1: look like they were gonna win on a field goal

1461
01:14:24,160 --> 01:14:27,519
Speaker 1: in Denver. It not the you know, the mania around

1462
01:14:27,560 --> 01:14:30,040
Speaker 1: him or whatever, but just that they're finding ways to

1463
01:14:30,080 --> 01:14:32,720
Speaker 1: win these these crazy sort of games and it's like

1464
01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:34,800
Speaker 1: the close I don't doubt I would say that the

1465
01:14:35,400 --> 01:14:37,960
Speaker 1: mania with the looks and the all this other business

1466
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:41,080
Speaker 1: around it is. Actually it does him a disservice because

1467
01:14:41,160 --> 01:14:44,160
Speaker 1: you think that that's why everyone is hyper focused on him,

1468
01:14:44,160 --> 01:14:45,800
Speaker 1: that's why a bunch of people are But if you

1469
01:14:45,880 --> 01:14:47,280
Speaker 1: took all that away and just looked at the way

1470
01:14:47,320 --> 01:14:49,400
Speaker 1: he plays, and if he were to your point at

1471
01:14:49,400 --> 01:14:51,640
Speaker 1: the draft pedigree had been there, people would be going

1472
01:14:51,640 --> 01:14:53,559
Speaker 1: absolutely nuts about who he is. On the fifth Nick

1473
01:14:53,560 --> 01:14:56,439
Speaker 1: Foles was playing like Gardner Minshew, people be like, all right,

1474
01:14:56,520 --> 01:14:58,479
Speaker 1: the Jags are in great shape. They've got their quarterback

1475
01:14:58,840 --> 01:15:01,560
Speaker 1: UM and Mark you you saw the game, so you

1476
01:15:01,720 --> 01:15:03,679
Speaker 1: have a better idea of it. You said, the Broncos

1477
01:15:03,720 --> 01:15:07,080
Speaker 1: defense looked gassed at the end of the game, So

1478
01:15:07,160 --> 01:15:09,400
Speaker 1: I won't. I can't kill them having not watched the game,

1479
01:15:09,439 --> 01:15:11,599
Speaker 1: but I will just make a stop. I will point

1480
01:15:11,640 --> 01:15:15,840
Speaker 1: out UH Joe Flacco for all his UM ups and

1481
01:15:15,960 --> 01:15:19,519
Speaker 1: downs this year. UH takes them down the field late

1482
01:15:19,560 --> 01:15:22,360
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter six place, seventy five yards, eight

1483
01:15:22,479 --> 01:15:27,000
Speaker 1: yard touchdown pass. It's with ninety two seconds to go.

1484
01:15:27,840 --> 01:15:31,679
Speaker 1: And just like the Steelers last week, when you thought

1485
01:15:31,840 --> 01:15:33,720
Speaker 1: that their defense would be able to close out a

1486
01:15:33,760 --> 01:15:36,240
Speaker 1: game that they desperately needed, you would think that the

1487
01:15:36,600 --> 01:15:39,120
Speaker 1: Broncos defense would summon that to be able to get

1488
01:15:39,160 --> 01:15:42,000
Speaker 1: out of here with the win. But there I I

1489
01:15:42,040 --> 01:15:45,200
Speaker 1: would imagine Broncos fans are very upset about a roughing

1490
01:15:45,240 --> 01:15:47,960
Speaker 1: the pastor call on von Miller that sprung Jacksonville for

1491
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:51,120
Speaker 1: that game winning drive. But it was a fair call,

1492
01:15:51,200 --> 01:15:54,080
Speaker 1: I think. And then on top of it, they gave

1493
01:15:54,200 --> 01:15:57,080
Speaker 1: up a huge chunk run and Minshew made Keith rows

1494
01:15:57,120 --> 01:15:59,320
Speaker 1: and that was the whole second half Outside of Miami.

1495
01:15:59,439 --> 01:16:03,400
Speaker 1: That might be the most depressing UH season ticket to own.

1496
01:16:03,520 --> 01:16:06,160
Speaker 1: Right now, you've seen two games. In both of them

1497
01:16:06,560 --> 01:16:09,120
Speaker 1: you've lost that the buzzer on a field goal, and

1498
01:16:09,240 --> 01:16:12,000
Speaker 1: both of them your quarterback, who hasn't been that great overall,

1499
01:16:12,479 --> 01:16:16,120
Speaker 1: has to go ahead touchdown pass with a minute remaining.

1500
01:16:16,160 --> 01:16:18,479
Speaker 1: You still lose. You can't kill Flacco and that he

1501
01:16:18,560 --> 01:16:20,920
Speaker 1: becomes lazy to do it week after week. But there

1502
01:16:21,080 --> 01:16:23,439
Speaker 1: is something also about him where just I don't know,

1503
01:16:23,600 --> 01:16:26,160
Speaker 1: there's a sense of he's not inspirational, not at all.

1504
01:16:26,200 --> 01:16:28,559
Speaker 1: Just the guy at this point, right, is that kind

1505
01:16:28,600 --> 01:16:29,720
Speaker 1: of what it is? He's just kind of a guy

1506
01:16:29,760 --> 01:16:34,320
Speaker 1: down right? Yeah, Man Rivers climbs the pocket, bind Zackler

1507
01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:37,080
Speaker 1: left sideline, one man to beat five into the touchdown,

1508
01:16:37,920 --> 01:16:40,600
Speaker 1: chargers into the end zone for Austin Ekeler. It was

1509
01:16:40,640 --> 01:16:43,880
Speaker 1: a hesitation by the official. He strums the guitar and

1510
01:16:43,960 --> 01:16:46,040
Speaker 1: the chargers put six on the board. By the way,

1511
01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:49,400
Speaker 1: that receiving touchdown means that he has now posted at

1512
01:16:49,479 --> 01:16:51,600
Speaker 1: least three in each of his proceedsons. That is the

1513
01:16:51,640 --> 01:16:54,120
Speaker 1: first time an undrafted running back has done it in

1514
01:16:54,200 --> 01:16:57,960
Speaker 1: the common draft ERI since nineteen seven. See by the way,

1515
01:16:59,000 --> 01:17:01,120
Speaker 1: you don't I owe thought this. You don't need move

1516
01:17:01,200 --> 01:17:05,000
Speaker 1: the sticks in that Daniel Jeremiah is the color guy. Well,

1517
01:17:05,040 --> 01:17:07,479
Speaker 1: guess what Matt money does a ball he can He'll

1518
01:17:07,520 --> 01:17:09,800
Speaker 1: give you the highlight and then he'll give you the

1519
01:17:09,920 --> 01:17:14,040
Speaker 1: insight and then and the data. So what, it's totally

1520
01:17:14,120 --> 01:17:16,960
Speaker 1: redundant to have moved the sticks paid by the charges.

1521
01:17:17,040 --> 01:17:19,920
Speaker 1: Some would move the sticks. Hearing this might argue that

1522
01:17:20,080 --> 01:17:23,120
Speaker 1: hit hit what you know, don't don't step on his

1523
01:17:23,240 --> 01:17:25,840
Speaker 1: part of the role here, but fair enough, I don't

1524
01:17:25,880 --> 01:17:27,799
Speaker 1: like what you're doing there. You're trying to create dissension.

1525
01:17:28,040 --> 01:17:30,519
Speaker 1: I think Matt made it very clear. Matt money Smith

1526
01:17:30,640 --> 01:17:33,240
Speaker 1: the voice of the Around the NFL podcast, what's going

1527
01:17:33,280 --> 01:17:38,280
Speaker 1: on in that? Philip Brother rivers through yards and two touchdowns?

1528
01:17:39,160 --> 01:17:41,120
Speaker 1: That was like his moment. He was like, that's what

1529
01:17:41,240 --> 01:17:43,160
Speaker 1: I can do. He's like, I'm getting on the eight

1530
01:17:43,200 --> 01:17:49,120
Speaker 1: ten podcast Forget you Sticks. He's been Scully Sticks ever

1531
01:17:49,240 --> 01:17:51,920
Speaker 1: his voice ever been included in any of these Chargers

1532
01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:54,599
Speaker 1: highlights that we've done very briefly, and I've instructed Erica

1533
01:17:54,680 --> 01:17:57,760
Speaker 1: to avoid it when possible. Philip rivers through for three

1534
01:17:58,040 --> 01:18:00,599
Speaker 1: ten yards and two touchdowns, including that eight seniord hook

1535
01:18:00,680 --> 01:18:04,800
Speaker 1: up with Austin Ekeler. Charges Crews win over. Now, I'm

1536
01:18:04,840 --> 01:18:06,920
Speaker 1: not gonna say it, because they don't even deserve that.

1537
01:18:08,200 --> 01:18:12,479
Speaker 1: The miserable Miami Dolphins. Greg The Chargers had rough losses

1538
01:18:12,520 --> 01:18:14,599
Speaker 1: in each of the past two weeks. Luckily the scheduled

1539
01:18:14,600 --> 01:18:17,920
Speaker 1: gods gifted them Sunday with potentially the worst NFL team

1540
01:18:17,960 --> 01:18:21,120
Speaker 1: of all time. Yeah, and and the Dolphins showed in

1541
01:18:21,160 --> 01:18:23,200
Speaker 1: this game for the second straight week that they can

1542
01:18:23,320 --> 01:18:26,679
Speaker 1: be competitive for a half. And they could have easily

1543
01:18:26,720 --> 01:18:29,519
Speaker 1: had the lead after one half of this game, just

1544
01:18:29,640 --> 01:18:33,000
Speaker 1: like against Dallas. But but they didn't. And then it's

1545
01:18:33,040 --> 01:18:36,240
Speaker 1: like the other team gets down to business. The Miami

1546
01:18:36,320 --> 01:18:39,639
Speaker 1: Dolphins has had twenty one drives in the second half

1547
01:18:39,800 --> 01:18:43,200
Speaker 1: of games this year. On those twenty one drives, they

1548
01:18:43,280 --> 01:18:46,720
Speaker 1: have failed to score a point. I mean, this is

1549
01:18:46,760 --> 01:18:51,960
Speaker 1: the NFL we're talking about. It's it's it's outrageous. I

1550
01:18:52,000 --> 01:18:53,599
Speaker 1: don't know what more of there is to say. Melvin

1551
01:18:53,680 --> 01:18:56,360
Speaker 1: Ingram got hurt in this game. That's a concern. Melvin

1552
01:18:56,400 --> 01:18:58,679
Speaker 1: Gordon did not play in this game, so he was active,

1553
01:18:58,760 --> 01:19:02,000
Speaker 1: but they an emergency, did not you need to use him.

1554
01:19:02,479 --> 01:19:04,880
Speaker 1: And Philip Rivers did what he does, which which is

1555
01:19:04,920 --> 01:19:08,280
Speaker 1: an underrated part of his skill set. He improvises really well,

1556
01:19:08,760 --> 01:19:10,559
Speaker 1: and you don't think of him as kind of an

1557
01:19:10,600 --> 01:19:13,760
Speaker 1: improv guy. But that Austin Ekeler touchdown, for instance, was

1558
01:19:13,880 --> 01:19:16,640
Speaker 1: him moving up looking to his fourth read, and he

1559
01:19:16,760 --> 01:19:19,360
Speaker 1: just kind of makes something out of nothing on a

1560
01:19:19,439 --> 01:19:21,400
Speaker 1: lot of these plays, and that that's all he needed

1561
01:19:21,439 --> 01:19:25,280
Speaker 1: to do. The Dolphins point differential of minus one seven

1562
01:19:25,400 --> 01:19:27,920
Speaker 1: is the worst three four games of season since at

1563
01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:34,479
Speaker 1: least nineteen forty. The previous worst nineteen Redskins minus one two.

1564
01:19:34,560 --> 01:19:36,559
Speaker 1: So the Dolphins have blown them out of the water.

1565
01:19:36,640 --> 01:19:38,840
Speaker 1: I mean, they are going to set some records, not

1566
01:19:39,000 --> 01:19:40,960
Speaker 1: the ones that they were. They're gonna be tweeting out

1567
01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:43,920
Speaker 1: for the next and again, Rose like Rosen started out

1568
01:19:43,960 --> 01:19:46,879
Speaker 1: the game well six or six two yards and a touchdown.

1569
01:19:47,080 --> 01:19:48,800
Speaker 1: They didn't punt or turn the ball over in the

1570
01:19:48,880 --> 01:19:51,880
Speaker 1: first half. I mean, their offense played pretty well in

1571
01:19:51,920 --> 01:19:55,760
Speaker 1: the first half. And still when you look at this

1572
01:19:55,880 --> 01:19:58,200
Speaker 1: Dolphins team, I think maybe the most frustrating thing is

1573
01:19:58,400 --> 01:20:00,720
Speaker 1: all the guys that in theory would you would want

1574
01:20:00,720 --> 01:20:04,320
Speaker 1: to be core guys are playing terrible. I mean, Charles Harris,

1575
01:20:04,400 --> 01:20:07,960
Speaker 1: their defensive end is doing nothing, Kalen Blige is doing nothing.

1576
01:20:08,080 --> 01:20:12,280
Speaker 1: Jerome Baker and the cfl Um linebacker that they were

1577
01:20:12,320 --> 01:20:16,479
Speaker 1: all excited going into the season. They're not playing well

1578
01:20:16,680 --> 01:20:18,880
Speaker 1: like the the young guys who you would want to

1579
01:20:18,960 --> 01:20:22,200
Speaker 1: be building around are are some of the most disappointing players.

1580
01:20:22,520 --> 01:20:24,600
Speaker 1: And so that's like an extra layer of pain for

1581
01:20:24,680 --> 01:20:27,160
Speaker 1: this team that was. That's now a hundred and twenty

1582
01:20:27,200 --> 01:20:29,599
Speaker 1: regular season wins for Phil Rivers, the first he ever

1583
01:20:29,680 --> 01:20:33,960
Speaker 1: had in Miami. His quote, it has been a long time. Myself,

1584
01:20:34,080 --> 01:20:36,760
Speaker 1: I haven't played worth a hoot. They're the last two

1585
01:20:36,840 --> 01:20:39,120
Speaker 1: times rough days for us. It was good to win

1586
01:20:39,640 --> 01:20:45,360
Speaker 1: it bad. You know, this game was a hoot. Yeah,

1587
01:20:45,439 --> 01:20:47,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. Just rolling up on him, I mean,

1588
01:20:47,320 --> 01:20:50,839
Speaker 1: he was about perfect today. Sunday Night Football. The seconds

1589
01:20:50,920 --> 01:20:52,760
Speaker 1: left on the park is to be the last player

1590
01:20:52,800 --> 01:20:55,759
Speaker 1: of the game. Jack Prescott in the gun, three seasons

1591
01:20:55,800 --> 01:20:58,679
Speaker 1: to the far side, takes the snap, say spring five.

1592
01:20:59,320 --> 01:21:01,519
Speaker 1: Prescott's on is this one. It's not even gonna get

1593
01:21:01,520 --> 01:21:05,000
Speaker 1: to the end zone. It has intercepted. Marcus william and

1594
01:21:05,120 --> 01:21:08,360
Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints take this one from the Dallas

1595
01:21:08,400 --> 01:21:15,200
Speaker 1: Cowboys twelve to ten on a phenomenal defensive performance. Oh yes,

1596
01:21:15,400 --> 01:21:20,960
Speaker 1: Marcus Williams, there is life after the Minneapolis miracle, Zack

1597
01:21:21,040 --> 01:21:26,160
Speaker 1: Street Saints Radio Network with the call an excellent defensive

1598
01:21:26,240 --> 01:21:29,160
Speaker 1: effort by New Orleans who get that final stop on

1599
01:21:29,280 --> 01:21:32,960
Speaker 1: the Dak Prescott tail Mary closing it out a twelve

1600
01:21:33,040 --> 01:21:36,160
Speaker 1: to ten win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football,

1601
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:40,320
Speaker 1: a game in which Teddy Bridgewater again stepping in for

1602
01:21:40,439 --> 01:21:43,599
Speaker 1: Drew Brees. The Saints didn't light it up on offense,

1603
01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:46,840
Speaker 1: but west when they needed the defense to step up,

1604
01:21:46,880 --> 01:21:49,760
Speaker 1: they sure did, and a great Cowboys offense really had

1605
01:21:49,800 --> 01:21:52,599
Speaker 1: no answers tonight. We were questioning a few weeks ago

1606
01:21:52,640 --> 01:21:54,880
Speaker 1: if they should be going with Taysom Hill instead of

1607
01:21:54,920 --> 01:21:58,479
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater, and Teddy hasn't played great, but this team

1608
01:21:58,600 --> 01:22:00,599
Speaker 1: is now two and o with upbre in. The two

1609
01:22:00,680 --> 01:22:04,320
Speaker 1: teams they've beaten haven't lost anyone else. I think Saints

1610
01:22:04,360 --> 01:22:06,599
Speaker 1: fans would have been happy splitting these last two games

1611
01:22:06,680 --> 01:22:08,640
Speaker 1: if you told them that a few weeks ago. And

1612
01:22:08,720 --> 01:22:11,280
Speaker 1: now they're sitting pretty and you can't say enough about

1613
01:22:11,320 --> 01:22:15,280
Speaker 1: their defense, their leadership, their coaches. To to win against

1614
01:22:15,840 --> 01:22:17,560
Speaker 1: on the road at Seattle, and then to beat a

1615
01:22:17,640 --> 01:22:20,920
Speaker 1: Dallas team that looked gangbusters through three weeks, it is

1616
01:22:20,960 --> 01:22:23,000
Speaker 1: to come to come down an earth game for the

1617
01:22:23,400 --> 01:22:26,760
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore in this Cowboys offense, I mean any thought that, Okay, hey,

1618
01:22:26,800 --> 01:22:29,680
Speaker 1: we haven't really we played three of the worst defenses

1619
01:22:29,720 --> 01:22:32,080
Speaker 1: in the league, and now they come out, they put

1620
01:22:32,160 --> 01:22:34,559
Speaker 1: up ten points, They put up two d fifty yards.

1621
01:22:34,600 --> 01:22:38,400
Speaker 1: This is very similar to the Cowboys Saints game last year,

1622
01:22:38,520 --> 01:22:41,000
Speaker 1: which was thirteen to ten. This is twelve to ten.

1623
01:22:41,120 --> 01:22:44,200
Speaker 1: Both games had under five hundred yards of total offense.

1624
01:22:44,280 --> 01:22:46,679
Speaker 1: Neither of these teams moved the ball. But the Saints

1625
01:22:46,720 --> 01:22:48,360
Speaker 1: are loving it because I think the Saints and what

1626
01:22:48,520 --> 01:22:50,880
Speaker 1: we saw today with the Bucks game, and we saw

1627
01:22:50,960 --> 01:22:53,960
Speaker 1: in Packers Eagles, and we've seen you have to be

1628
01:22:54,040 --> 01:22:56,880
Speaker 1: able to win different sorts of games. I think there's

1629
01:22:56,920 --> 01:22:59,680
Speaker 1: no you're not gonna win just with defense or just

1630
01:22:59,840 --> 01:23:02,200
Speaker 1: with the offense. You've gotta be able to adapt. And

1631
01:23:02,439 --> 01:23:05,000
Speaker 1: the Saints have shown that they can win with Chimara

1632
01:23:05,520 --> 01:23:08,000
Speaker 1: and a little bit of magic, a little bit of

1633
01:23:08,200 --> 01:23:12,599
Speaker 1: situational football. I thought that against Seattle in Seattle last week,

1634
01:23:12,640 --> 01:23:15,919
Speaker 1: the Saints control the line of scrimmage with their defense

1635
01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:19,519
Speaker 1: early and they made life very tough for Seattle's ground game.

1636
01:23:19,560 --> 01:23:22,439
Speaker 1: And then in this it translates again one point nine

1637
01:23:22,520 --> 01:23:25,880
Speaker 1: yards per carry for Zekiel who never plot unhooked. And

1638
01:23:26,400 --> 01:23:28,719
Speaker 1: the Saints teams of olds that we covered for years.

1639
01:23:29,000 --> 01:23:31,439
Speaker 1: If you said New Orleans is gonna score twelve points

1640
01:23:31,479 --> 01:23:33,720
Speaker 1: of Teddy Bridgewater, no way do they win those games.

1641
01:23:33,760 --> 01:23:37,000
Speaker 1: They're a much more balanced team. They're well built in

1642
01:23:37,080 --> 01:23:39,679
Speaker 1: any victory with Teddy Bridgewater at quarterback, it's a coude

1643
01:23:39,960 --> 01:23:41,840
Speaker 1: at this point to go to and Oh on this

1644
01:23:42,000 --> 01:23:44,479
Speaker 1: journey so far, they're gonna run away with this division

1645
01:23:44,520 --> 01:23:46,439
Speaker 1: if they keep like we said. Teddy was up and

1646
01:23:46,520 --> 01:23:49,599
Speaker 1: down in this game, and his worst moment UH came

1647
01:23:49,960 --> 01:23:53,720
Speaker 1: in his final possession, his last snap. They are in

1648
01:23:53,840 --> 01:23:57,280
Speaker 1: field goal range up two points UH, and he gets

1649
01:23:57,360 --> 01:24:01,800
Speaker 1: overwhelmed by a strong uh Dallas pass rush, loses about

1650
01:24:01,840 --> 01:24:04,840
Speaker 1: fourteen yards on a sack. Instead of having Will Lutts,

1651
01:24:04,840 --> 01:24:07,880
Speaker 1: who's almost automatic, attempting to put you up five, you

1652
01:24:07,960 --> 01:24:10,400
Speaker 1: have to punt it away and the Cowboys take over

1653
01:24:10,479 --> 01:24:14,160
Speaker 1: fairly deep in their own end. However, in addition to

1654
01:24:14,320 --> 01:24:16,680
Speaker 1: the failure to get into field goal range, as you

1655
01:24:16,840 --> 01:24:21,280
Speaker 1: heard the interception there that sealed the game. Tyrone Smith,

1656
01:24:21,479 --> 01:24:24,320
Speaker 1: the star left tackle for the Cowboys, Jerry Jones said

1657
01:24:24,320 --> 01:24:27,040
Speaker 1: after the game has a high ankle sprain, and we

1658
01:24:27,160 --> 01:24:29,880
Speaker 1: talked about high uncle springs a terrible injury because you

1659
01:24:30,000 --> 01:24:32,080
Speaker 1: never know how how much time it could cost you.

1660
01:24:32,160 --> 01:24:34,800
Speaker 1: But they tend to linger. It's the same type of

1661
01:24:34,880 --> 01:24:37,760
Speaker 1: injury that se Quon Barkley has. Well. Now, uh, the

1662
01:24:37,840 --> 01:24:41,280
Speaker 1: blindside protector of the vaunted Dallas offensive line could be

1663
01:24:41,400 --> 01:24:43,240
Speaker 1: on the shelf for some time. We'll have to see

1664
01:24:43,280 --> 01:24:45,800
Speaker 1: how that plays out. That's that is a massive lot.

1665
01:24:45,800 --> 01:24:48,400
Speaker 1: I mean, that was a terrible moment for the Cowboys

1666
01:24:48,400 --> 01:24:51,080
Speaker 1: and they play against the Darius Smith and Preston Smith

1667
01:24:51,120 --> 01:24:53,240
Speaker 1: in that Green Bay Packers defense next week. I mean,

1668
01:24:53,320 --> 01:24:55,160
Speaker 1: that's so that's why we like the NFL. It flips

1669
01:24:55,200 --> 01:24:58,200
Speaker 1: pretty quickly that the Cowboys suddenly okay, they've they've got

1670
01:24:58,280 --> 01:25:00,519
Speaker 1: some issues to work out, the Saints of feeling good.

1671
01:25:00,960 --> 01:25:03,640
Speaker 1: I liked what Daniel Jeremiah I know, um, you know

1672
01:25:03,680 --> 01:25:07,400
Speaker 1: you've taken some shots at him Dan on this episode.

1673
01:25:08,240 --> 01:25:11,479
Speaker 1: I liked what he tweeted earlier today, which was essentially,

1674
01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:16,040
Speaker 1: don't put much stock into the previous month. What's happened

1675
01:25:16,200 --> 01:25:19,320
Speaker 1: the preseason sort of over that most of these teams

1676
01:25:19,320 --> 01:25:21,479
Speaker 1: and the players have knocked the rust off. You've kind

1677
01:25:21,520 --> 01:25:23,439
Speaker 1: of put out the tape, the tape into the ether,

1678
01:25:23,640 --> 01:25:26,400
Speaker 1: like Kellen Moore that now other teams have a feel

1679
01:25:26,439 --> 01:25:29,519
Speaker 1: of Okay, what's this team doing this year? And moving

1680
01:25:29,640 --> 01:25:31,719
Speaker 1: forward you kind of this is where we start learning

1681
01:25:31,720 --> 01:25:33,280
Speaker 1: about teams. I think there's a lot to that. You

1682
01:25:33,360 --> 01:25:35,800
Speaker 1: don't like to think that the last month was meaningless,

1683
01:25:36,200 --> 01:25:38,040
Speaker 1: but there's some of that that the teams are going

1684
01:25:38,080 --> 01:25:39,960
Speaker 1: to be so different. And that's why, especially for the

1685
01:25:39,960 --> 01:25:41,920
Speaker 1: Saints team that doesn't have breeze, it doesn't matter how

1686
01:25:41,960 --> 01:25:44,040
Speaker 1: you're winning these games, just stacking up wins. His math

1687
01:25:44,479 --> 01:25:46,639
Speaker 1: be as ugly as you need to be get to win,

1688
01:25:46,760 --> 01:25:48,760
Speaker 1: and like at just the fact that that division is

1689
01:25:48,840 --> 01:25:51,320
Speaker 1: crumbling around them to some degree. To the Bucks next

1690
01:25:51,360 --> 01:25:54,240
Speaker 1: week that Teddy Teddy said to Michelle Tafoya after the game,

1691
01:25:54,600 --> 01:25:57,000
Speaker 1: no one said it had to be pretty. It was not.

1692
01:25:57,560 --> 01:26:00,680
Speaker 1: But the Saints are feeling good right now and as

1693
01:26:00,760 --> 01:26:03,760
Speaker 1: we hit the quarter pole of the season, and we're

1694
01:26:03,800 --> 01:26:05,519
Speaker 1: gonna talk more about it this week on the Around

1695
01:26:05,520 --> 01:26:08,080
Speaker 1: the NFL podcast, which is the show we're doing right now.

1696
01:26:08,200 --> 01:26:09,720
Speaker 1: I don't know I'm saying it like I'm talking about

1697
01:26:09,760 --> 01:26:14,280
Speaker 1: a different show. This is the round. The NFL is

1698
01:26:14,360 --> 01:26:18,800
Speaker 1: so wide open after this preseason part two. Once you

1699
01:26:18,840 --> 01:26:21,040
Speaker 1: get past the only two undefeated team, well there's three,

1700
01:26:21,240 --> 01:26:24,160
Speaker 1: including the Niners, but the Patriots in chiefs. It's really

1701
01:26:24,200 --> 01:26:26,360
Speaker 1: hard to figure out who's the true power players. But

1702
01:26:26,439 --> 01:26:29,280
Speaker 1: a Saints performance like this with Drew Brees getting closer,

1703
01:26:29,640 --> 01:26:32,519
Speaker 1: you feel confident having them obviously in that conversation, and

1704
01:26:32,600 --> 01:26:35,880
Speaker 1: the Cowboys as well, winner lose today, uh, you feel

1705
01:26:35,920 --> 01:26:38,880
Speaker 1: good that these are two the best teams in the league. Absolutely.

1706
01:26:38,960 --> 01:26:40,800
Speaker 1: I think when you look at the league as a whole,

1707
01:26:41,520 --> 01:26:43,439
Speaker 1: is there even a third good team in the a

1708
01:26:43,640 --> 01:26:46,000
Speaker 1: f C. That's a question I would have. Well, I

1709
01:26:46,080 --> 01:26:48,960
Speaker 1: also want to see the Cowboys like perform against other

1710
01:26:49,160 --> 01:26:54,080
Speaker 1: competent defenses in the roster. Is we know this this

1711
01:26:54,240 --> 01:26:56,200
Speaker 1: is a playoff caliber team. I don't think one loss

1712
01:26:56,200 --> 01:26:58,760
Speaker 1: at New Orleans changes, but I want to see their

1713
01:26:58,840 --> 01:27:02,439
Speaker 1: offense against more quality defense, just absolutely to see what

1714
01:27:02,640 --> 01:27:04,640
Speaker 1: they do. And I wouldn't worry about records at this

1715
01:27:04,680 --> 01:27:07,200
Speaker 1: point at all, because I take a Philadelphia Eagles team

1716
01:27:07,280 --> 01:27:09,840
Speaker 1: over other teams with better records right now because they've

1717
01:27:09,880 --> 01:27:11,680
Speaker 1: played through a lot of ups and downs and they

1718
01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:14,240
Speaker 1: what they did in Green Bay was huge. Okay, program
