Speaker 1: Be Around the NFL Podcast is the last great American dynasty.

2
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 1: Welcome to another edition of the Around the NFL Podcast.

3
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: My name is Dan Hansas. Come to you from a

4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 1: virtual room filled with heroes, Mark Sessler's, Chris Westling, Greg Rosatal.

5
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:32,919
Speaker 1: Week one. What's up boys, Hey Dan? Yeah? Yeah, football, Yeah, flagship.

6
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:34,879
Speaker 1: This is to be Greg's favorite day of the year,

7
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: right well, yeah. I always said the best Sunday of

8
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: football of the year because you've got the most Sundays

9
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: in front of you, and this year it does feel

10
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 1: like a celebration to get here. Although I don't know

11
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: if it's gonna be the best Sunday of the year,

12
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 1: I feel like the quality will probably get better as

13
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: they get a little nothing but a celebration, I would

14
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: agree with that. Yeah, you know, as the asses fall

15
00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: from the sky outside of my window, celebrations. Old fires

16
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: still raging here in southern California and California throughout the state.

17
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: And this is for me the first time that I

18
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: wasn't at the NFL office in eleven years, where of

19
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: course all working from home because of you know, and

20
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: so we had to find new ways to watch the games.

21
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: And I hope everybody managed to do that and and

22
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: cover the games that were drafted on Thursday's show, and

23
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: West was not part of the draft on Thursday, but

24
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: is luckily and thankfully joining us here tonight. So we're

25
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: gonna go through every game that was played on Sunday,

26
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 1: wrapping up with the Sunday night football game between the

27
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: Cowboys and the Rams. And um, Greg, do you have

28
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: any kind of broad takeaway from Week one? Not really,

29
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: I that that, I um that I do want to

30
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: give these teams a little bit of a wide berth.

31
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: I'm going to overreact anyways and have fun with what

32
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: happened today. But I think more than ever, the first

33
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: two to three weeks of the season feels like, you know,

34
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: let's let's warm up, let's get ready, and if you

35
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: have teams and root for, let's hope you you know,

36
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: pocket some dubs because they'll still count the same at

37
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 1: the end of the season, even if it's in these first, easy,

38
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 1: early weeks. All right, So here we go, It's time

39
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: to do it. Are you mark you ready? I'm ready?

40
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: You know what. Honestly, I love this today for you

41
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: and I and our our favorite sports clubs. But I

42
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: brushed that off pretty quick. I think I went in

43
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: with the expectations. Will get into that, but I thought

44
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: the working from home thing was um, pretty pretty seamless,

45
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: and so I'm lobbying to essentially never leave my home

46
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: ever again. West, did you think in like midway through

47
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: second quarter today, like, well, it's different, not feeling the

48
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 1: negative energy around us with the Jet the Jets, and uh,

49
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: the Browns getting drubbed so by so much. It's such

50
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: a tough but but I get like it. You never

51
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: know what week one is gonna bring, and it can

52
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: offer a surprise in so many different directions. But to

53
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: have it be the same old like kicking the pants

54
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:16,679
Speaker 1: like Charlie Brown, It's just I just feel for you guys,

55
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,679
Speaker 1: because I know the feeling in baseball. Mhmm. Yeah. I

56
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: I feel like I've gotten some type of like radiation

57
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: poisoning being next to Mark all these years. So I

58
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: do feel refreshed Sunday night. I don't know why. Uh,

59
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: maybe there's there's a reason why. All right, let's do it.

60
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: Let's get into every game that was played on Sunday,

61
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: and let us start with the most famous quarterback, perhaps

62
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: in the history of football. Starting a new it didn't

63
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: go too well. This God went in motion again to

64
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: the right. Brady takes a gun snap book throw near side.

65
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: It's picked up to Norris Jenkins. Fifteen ten, three to

66
00:03:55,040 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: one touchdown to Norris Jenkins, pick six. I looked easy,

67
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: du it look the easy follows behind oh alistre rubbing

68
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: some salt in the wound Zack Street also called w

69
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: W L Generes Jack Rabbit. Jenkins picked up Tom Brady

70
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: and took a thirty six yards to the house as

71
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: the Saints host over the Bucks and an empty Superdome,

72
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: neither offense. He was working at a high level on

73
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: this one, Greg, But New Orleans seems to be a

74
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: step ahead at the start of the season. Yeah. It

75
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: reminded me of a lot of Saints wins from last

76
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: year where the score was a little misleading. Uh. It

77
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: was a high scoring game, but they won with defense,

78
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: with special teams. With the other team, the Bucks in

79
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: this case, you know, kind of shooting themselves in the

80
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: foot and making a lot of mistakes. It was not

81
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 1: a great showcase, you know for quarterbacks after forty they

82
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: both looked they both looked older than forty. It wasn't

83
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: great games. I wouldn't say for either one of them.

84
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: Brady made your mistakes. Brady also made a number of

85
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: better throws I would say than Drew Brees did in

86
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: this game. But it spells out to me, and it's

87
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: it's early. I'm not gonna judge too much, but I

88
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: just think the Saints have so much more margin for

89
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: error than the Bucks do in this division because they

90
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: can win games like this, because they can win six

91
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: games with Teddy Bridgewater, um, and I think this secondary,

92
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 1: especially with generous Jenkins and West's boy C J. Gardner

93
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: Johnson who had a monster game to those two guys

94
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 1: make them so deep that they can do a lot

95
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: of fun things up front. And they confused Brady a

96
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: couple of times. They they made plays on their own.

97
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 1: And if their special teams is gonna be good like

98
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: it was today, it's just like it's gonna be a

99
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: hard time beating this team. And a couple of years ago,

100
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 1: this offense changed from going as Drew Brees goes to

101
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: going to as Alvin Camara goes and Michael Thomas, and

102
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: you saw Camaro today had the explosiveness. Maybe his yardage

103
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: numbers weren't there, but he looked like the old Alvin

104
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 1: Camara on those two touchdowns, making people miss and looking explosive.

105
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: I mean, the the Brady interceptions really to me illustrated

106
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: a Bucks team that needs more time to get fluid

107
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: on offense. There was a clear miscommunication with with Mike Evans,

108
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: I believe on one of them, and you know, I

109
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 1: it's gonna just take patients with all these teams, and

110
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 1: last you mentioned at the top of the show, it's like,

111
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: we can freak out about the Bucks not looking anything

112
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: like they were hyped up to look, but let's talk

113
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks. It just seemed like for

114
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: all the preparation, Brady was still sinking up with the

115
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 1: rest of the team's Grant. Grant didn't do much in

116
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: this game, and after the game, Bruce arians and the

117
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: head coach, he actually was open about it and said

118
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: on the interception that Brady threw that was intended for

119
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: Mike Evans, that Mike Evans did the right thing, the

120
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: thing he's taught to do, which was kind of sit

121
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: down in the coverage, but Brady didn't do the right thing.

122
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: So I don't know if that's arians side with the

123
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 1: guy that's been in the house longer or what. But

124
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: it just shows you, like Mark said, this is gonna

125
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: take some time. It's the opposite. He would always justify

126
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: every Jamis Winston intercepted that. I mean, Brady's gotta be thinking,

127
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: what now you're starting to throw the quarterbacks under the bus.

128
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: I mean it just they were kind of the opposite

129
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: of what the Patriots were last year, which wasn't necessarily

130
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: good either, um, but they were just sloppy. They had

131
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: so many penalties and that is something arians has gotta

132
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: work on. They led the league in penalties a year ago.

133
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: And and I guess if you're a Bucks fan and

134
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: you do want to be a little concerned about this game,

135
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: one spot is Donovan Smith, which is their left tackle,

136
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: who struggled Trey Hendrickson beat him clean a few times.

137
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: That was a big problem. In general, the Saints pass

138
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: rush look pretty good, and Donovan Smith is a guy

139
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: who they drafted who Jason Light gave a huge contract

140
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: that made no sense at the time. He gave him

141
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: at no point as Donovan Smith really played particularly well

142
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: at left tackle. And that is Tom Brady's left tackle,

143
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: and that to me is a little emblematic of the

144
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,239
Speaker 1: Buccaneers who have had bad draft picks and have kept

145
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: some of their bad Did you get any clarity about there?

146
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: I know that you know, Ronald Jones had by far

147
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: the most curious think it was like seventeen, but you

148
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: take away the twenty one yard runn he had and

149
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: he ran for like two yards per rush, and the

150
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: whole team in general, I mean both teams the ground

151
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: games seem a little flat, but the Bucks I feel like,

152
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: you know, on a on a Tom Brady of team,

153
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: a running game that's not operable is would be a

154
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: concern for me. I was surprised that both teams ran

155
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: the ball so much because the Bucks were historically great

156
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: stopping the run, so it wasn't a surprise to me.

157
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: The Saints couldn't run on them, but they kept trying.

158
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: And the Bucks were one of the most pass heavy

159
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: teams in the first half of games, not even after

160
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: Jamis blew it. But they were pass happy early in

161
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: games last year, and they really weren't and it wasn't working.

162
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: And the Saints are a really good rush defense. And

163
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: I come back to maybe the coaches west like who

164
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: are usually so aggressive and so confident. The Saints, especially

165
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 1: it strikes me when you're bringing in Taysom Hill on

166
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: some really key third downs and breezes. Numbers were ugly

167
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:00,839
Speaker 1: until late in the scheme and he hit a big

168
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,839
Speaker 1: forty six yard or that that ended up being the

169
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,559
Speaker 1: key play the games. Of credit to him for that, um,

170
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: but they were like running and bringing in Hill for

171
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: Keith thurd downs and everything is so condensed and the

172
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: Buck's defense is cooking it. And I know that's something

173
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: you think is gonna be a problem for the Saints

174
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: long term, and and I think it's a fair I

175
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: think it's a fair concern. It's who locked that one up?

176
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: That was That was Mark and I. And by the way,

177
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: you people on Twitter honking about like that, weren't that

178
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: bold for locking this one up? And it was like

179
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: a field goal game. The Buts are a town. Think

180
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: I got with you. I like, I want to engage

181
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: with with people's takes. But that was a horrible take

182
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: and I just like you go to the desert. It

183
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: was completely right in the mirror world. So I completely

184
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: ignored those comments. Sorry West, Sorry West, I had set

185
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,199
Speaker 1: you up before all that. Yeah, I think that transition

186
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: has been going on for a while. Now, I don't

187
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: think this is new to this year. I think you're

188
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:56,199
Speaker 1: seeing Drew Brees is passing numbers efficiency the last few years,

189
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: propped up by the way Sean Payton uses him, and

190
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: it's to hide his arm. And I think you're seeing

191
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 1: more and more of that where you're gonna need Taysom

192
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: hill On more plays um to breeze his credit. He

193
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: did have that forty yard pass that um there was

194
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: a big play in this game, but I think the

195
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,599
Speaker 1: rest of the game you saw that his arm was

196
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: an issue. The quietest game in years for Michael Thomas,

197
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 1: who of course risked everything to break the Marvin Harrison

198
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: receptions record a year ago. He saw just five targets today,

199
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: his low since Week eleven of two thousand and eighteen,

200
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: and he also sustained uh some type of ankle injury

201
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: late in the game. Uh. Mike Florio reported that Thomas

202
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: was walking fine in the locker room after the win,

203
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: but he hadn't let the trainers look at it. They

204
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: were still trying to examine him, which is kind of

205
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: a funny image image of a little trainers, like five

206
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: ft Devon trainers chasing around Michael Thomas. Please let us

207
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: examine your ankle. Uh. So I'm I'm assuming that will

208
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 1: happen at some point, but something to keep an eye

209
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: on there, all right. So Tom Brady's new adventure starts

210
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: with a loss. Let's keep roll and through and talk

211
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 1: about another legendary quarterback checking a tench Snampa Rock going

212
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: deep down the right sidelines. NBS passed, stop what a play?

213
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: He took it away from Cameron dancler Learn trash scandling

214
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: forty five yard touch yard reception, Wayne Lara vy w

215
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: t MJ with the call my own. Aaron Rodgers went

216
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: off against a young and not ready for prime time

217
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:39,199
Speaker 1: or daytime Vikings defense, throwing four touchdown passes and Davante

218
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: Adams tied a franchise record with four team catches and

219
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: the Packers forty three to thirty four win over the

220
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: Vikings at US Banks Stadium. The Vikings defense, it was

221
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: a mess. They gave a five hundred and twenty two

222
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,559
Speaker 1: yards their worst outing since giving up five hundred and

223
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: fifty six yards of the Rams in their high flying stage,

224
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 1: and they were just the secondary was picked on by

225
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 1: Rogers and West. I can't wait uh to see where

226
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers falls on the Chris Westling QB and Index

227
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 1: this week because you had him higher than most people

228
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: would have in that exercise going into week one, and

229
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 1: what he did today an absolute clinic and uh yes,

230
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: I have a sandwich prop about him being an All

231
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: Pro this year, and who knows, it's just one game,

232
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: but my god, did he look like Aaron Rodgers. And

233
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: you'll watch that game. He could have had even more

234
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: yardage that could have been gaudier, uh if not for

235
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: a drop by MVS that negated about a sixty yard

236
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: game and Alan Lazard uh fell stumbled towards the end

237
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: zone when he should have been walk in score. So

238
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: this could have even been more grizzly for the Vikings

239
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: defense and more glorious for Rogers. But that's not really

240
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: the point. The point is not only uh did Rogers

241
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: look great? Is incompletions are almost always just throwaways smart plays.

242
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: It was almost functionally a perfect game. And if you're

243
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: a Packers fan, my goodness, are you excited right now?

244
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: I think even as we've watched this more slump prone

245
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers over the last few years, where the whole

246
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: football community tries to figure out what's wrong with him,

247
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: and now going into this year, everybody had soured on

248
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 1: him quite a bit. The Packers soured on him, um,

249
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 1: But at no point do I remember anybody ever saying physically,

250
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 1: he looks like he's in decline, Like nobody ever said

251
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 1: he can't get this past done anymore, he can't escape

252
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 1: trouble in the pocket anymore. I don't think it's ever

253
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: been a physical thing. I think it's been falling into

254
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: bad habits, and a lot of that comes from not

255
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: trusting his receivers. If he can trust MVS this year,

256
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: I think that's pretty big. I am always ready to

257
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: just like with one game, go right back into the

258
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: tank for Rogers and just believe it's how possible. Well,

259
00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: because it makes sense, like those the good games. He

260
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: hazards as good as anyone, and he had a couple

261
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: last year, but you're right, there are a lot of slums.

262
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: But it's also because I've seen Tom Brady have what

263
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 1: I thought was his best two year run of his

264
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: entire career at thirty nine and forty. And I don't

265
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: know if Rogers can stay as fit, but I know

266
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 1: he's he's got it upstairs, like like Brady, And so

267
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: it does make you think that Brady, who I thought

268
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: I had a couple more down years, maybe in his

269
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: mid thirties, UM cranked it back up in his late thirties.

270
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: Like that, it's at least possible with the right play

271
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: collar and and this is an amazing start to drop

272
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: over five hundred yards in Week one, UM against the

273
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: defense that should have some idea what you're doing is

274
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: is pretty amazing. I was gonna say, these two teams

275
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: know each other so well, and there's a lot of

276
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: similar characters there from the past, and you know, we

277
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: we talked all, you know, offseason long about a Vikings

278
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: secondary with a completely new cast of cornerbacks, and yeah,

279
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: last year's weren't great, So it's not like you've lost

280
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: the legion of boom of the Midwest. It everyone's like, oh,

281
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: you know, Mike Simon will coach them up, they'll be fine.

282
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: But this has to be extremely concerning. And I'd also ask, like,

283
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: on the on the offense offensive side from Minnesota, I mean,

284
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: I'm seeing like the numbers here and I just outside

285
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: of Adam feeling not a lot of juice. Was it

286
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: just that they got down early and they the whole

287
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: thing fell apart. Uh, it was absurd. The defense couldn't

288
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: get off the field. So by the time the first

289
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: half ended, Kirk Cousins had thrown five passes and uh.

290
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: In fact, the defense was on the field for almost

291
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: twenty three minutes in the first half. And then the

292
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: only reason this game is even remotely close in the

293
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: final score is because a bunch of like prodigious guardage

294
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: garbage time production from Cousins to Adam Feeling. I mean,

295
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: this was an embarrassing loss for the Vikings. They're lucky

296
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: nobody was in that building because as as humble and

297
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: as sweet as Midwesterners are, they would have been getting

298
00:15:55,960 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: booed because they did not show up uh on any level.

299
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: In fact, the Neil Hunter being out was something that

300
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: we all said, oh, that could be an issue. It

301
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: was way worse than anyone could imagine Minnesota's According to

302
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: the ESPN, Minnesota pressured Rogers on just seven of forty

303
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: four dropbacks, including eighteen straight without registering a pressure. And

304
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: then remember us all doing back flips about how brilliant

305
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: Rick Spielman was for getting Yannick and Gockway. Hey, he

306
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: could still be an All Pro this year for all

307
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: we know, but he didn't have a single pressure in

308
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: this game, so he's obviously and he's a little banged

309
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: up too, So like they were not getting a push

310
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: up front, nobody could cover in the back end. And

311
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: they're frankly lucky this game wasn't fifty to ten. I

312
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: mean when they were. You know, they spent all offseason

313
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: trying to erase the memory of the absolute beating they

314
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: took in San Francisco to close last year, a game

315
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: that I thought peg Minnesota as a team that just

316
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: is sort of halfway there in that group of playoff

317
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: teams you can't really believe in. This is an ugly

318
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: opening chapter. Well right there in this division with the Packers.

319
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: You get blown out last year in the biggest game

320
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: of the year, than you you have to get past

321
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 1: this team. Now they're gonna have to do it in Lambeau.

322
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe that doesn't matter anymore with no fans. We'll

323
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: we'll find out what it does. But time of possession,

324
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: the fact that they set a record for the lowest

325
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: time of possession I think in their franchise history today,

326
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 1: it's not a good way to start the season. Yeah,

327
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: we we all And that's the four of us and

328
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 1: everyone else that's listening to the show, and Ricky, we

329
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: have to keep perspective on week one. But it could

330
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 1: not be any worse for the Vikings through one game.

331
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 1: Let's move on. They hand off here to Peyton Barbara

332
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:44,679
Speaker 1: with time, Yes, touchdown, touchdown Washington Bram Weinstein and that

333
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: was not D'Angelo Hall with the call. That was Julius Donalds.

334
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 1: Julia Donaldson. I know that that point. She's part of

335
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 1: their crea. How about that? Look at you, frozenhal He

336
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: got it the Washington football team. Peyton Barbera ran for

337
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: two touchdowns and Dwayne Haskins rallied Washington from a seventeen

338
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 1: point deficit to beat the Eagles seventeen and Ron Rivera's

339
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,959
Speaker 1: debut as head coach West. This was supposed to be

340
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,360
Speaker 1: a manageable assignment for the Eagles. What the hell happened?

341
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: This was wild. If you would have told me at

342
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: the two minute warning of the first half that the

343
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: Red that the Washington football team would win this game,

344
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,640
Speaker 1: I would have said, you're not worth my time. You're

345
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: you're talking crazy, you're paranoid, your delusional um. Just get away.

346
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: There's no way that happens, um, And then stop me

347
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 1: if you've heard this before. In Ohio state, pass rusher

348
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: with difference making talent joins a front seven loaded with

349
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: former first round draft picks, and they turn around and

350
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 1: make life miserable for quarterbacks with waves and waves of

351
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: pass rushers. And that did happened, Carson when they be

352
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: those line in the Eagles line look like a line

353
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 1: that's missing, guys, it did. There are two big problems here.

354
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,719
Speaker 1: I believe the right side of the Eagles line had

355
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,959
Speaker 1: never started a game before. The entire right side, Uh,

356
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: they were a big issue. And Carson Wentstey's learned to

357
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: get get rid of the ball, throw the ball away

358
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: if he has to, uh, you know, pull the trigger

359
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: once in a while. But he held the ball too

360
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 1: too long. Um. So it was a mixture of both

361
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 1: those things. And then the Redskins defensive line, like I said,

362
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: sending waves of pass rushers at them, and I've seen

363
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: that like Earth's and God are accounted for half of

364
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 1: their two hundred and seventy passing yards, which reminds me

365
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: a lot of last year. So, I mean, I know

366
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: they're banged up, but they do they look like anything

367
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,959
Speaker 1: new compared to where we were with the Eagles offenses

368
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: a season ago. Well, I think Goddard is even more involved.

369
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: I wrote that, you know, a few minutes into the game,

370
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 1: and this guy is already emphasized folks a focal point

371
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 1: of the passing game in a way he wasn't last year.

372
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: So I expect this to be and more tight end oriented. Uh.

373
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 1: Jalen Riagor had one um long pass I think fifty

374
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: five yard bomb and was targeted a couple more times deep.

375
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: De Sean Jackson I think would have had a lot

376
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: more production have Wentz Um had time to throw the

377
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: ball in the second half, right, they had a total

378
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: of five yards or so. These two teams to Washington's

379
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 1: offense didn't exactly light it up. I mean they combined

380
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 1: for less than that the Packers didn't one day. But

381
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do the thing where I swooped in and

382
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 1: watched like two minutes of this game, but make us

383
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: sweeping judgment from it, which was the game was still

384
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: very much those two double swoop to the game was

385
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: very much uh in the Eagles hands, or at least

386
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: they were in the game late when Wentz had Jackson

387
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 1: on the timing play deep down the field and overthrew him,

388
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,360
Speaker 1: and Deshan Jackson was not pleased about that. And then

389
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: on fourth and three they decided to go for it

390
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 1: and uh, Earth's just drops the pass. So that's Carson Wentz,

391
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 1: Sean Jackson and Art's not making plays at the end.

392
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: And those are kind of your core guys. Well, at

393
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: the point you picked that up, they had probably gone

394
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 1: two and a half quarters without a single positive thing

395
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: happening on offense, and I think they had stopped believing

396
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,159
Speaker 1: that a single positive thing could happen on offense. He

397
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: was sacked eight times, Carson Wentz, and uh so that

398
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,640
Speaker 1: was not that's not sustainable. I know he was able

399
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: to stay on the field for the entire regular season

400
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 1: last year before that concussion against the Seahawks, but you

401
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 1: are not going to keep him on the field if

402
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: he can't protect him. What did you see from Haskins

403
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: was he did just enough and I mean literally just enough. Um.

404
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: I believe his first two touchdowns came directly after it

405
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: Wentz his first two interceptions. UM at the day his credit,

406
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 1: he got the good field position and led them down

407
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 1: two scores. But um, he looked a little sluggish to me,

408
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: a little more slow moving than he did last year.

409
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 1: But um, he got credit for giving a pretty pretty

410
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 1: good halftime speech. When Ron Rivera physically couldn't do it,

411
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: Haskins took over, and um, the Redskins dominated the second half.

412
00:21:58,080 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: I thought of you when, like Ron Rivera has taught

413
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,199
Speaker 1: up this week about literally going through treatments for his

414
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: illness right now, and like the idea that you've got

415
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 1: to perform the duties of a head coach, you know,

416
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 1: the week long preparation, but then being on the sideline

417
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 1: during what must be one of the most pressure packed

418
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: experiences you can have. Man, that's a that's a concerning

419
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: element for that team. Just physically standing there all day.

420
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: I mean, that's got to wear him out. Um, I

421
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 1: get that. So like you guys know, halfway through today,

422
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 1: I had to go lay down and and give my

423
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,640
Speaker 1: back arrest. It's just it just wears you down. So

424
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: I'm impressed that he's even out there in the first place.

425
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: Right now, he was getting an IVY shot to give

426
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: him energy to uh stand up on the sideline for

427
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 1: the second half. It's it's remarkable. I know it's been

428
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: a it's been a rough, rough six months. For this

429
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: organization to come out with Week one with the division win,

430
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: that's gotta it's gotta feel pretty sweet. And conversely, if

431
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: you're the Eagles, and yeah, you know Miles Sanders, but man,

432
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: guys like Rosenthal the pupping this team up forever. The Eagles,

433
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: they feel highly of themselves. And then you go up

434
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: and you go out and you go up seventeen zip

435
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: against Washington and then you lose that you cannot that

436
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 1: can't happen. That's a really bad way to start your season.

437
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 1: M hm. Talk to you, Greig, I mean, not my team.

438
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: I mean they have to start feeling like their snake.

439
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 1: But I think they were missing seven starters. I mean

440
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 1: there were starters. We didn't even mention Lane Johnson. We

441
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: didn't know what was gonna be out necessarily Derek Barnett,

442
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 1: Um Javon Hargrave, and you mentioned Sanders, and we know

443
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 1: about the offensive linemen. It's it's it's a rough way

444
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: to start. And then you also just you know, play

445
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 1: play terribly to blow a lead like that. You still

446
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: can't blow a lead like that no matter how many

447
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: guys are out. All right, let's talk about your actual

448
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: favorite team, Greg, the right, Cam's gonna run it to

449
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: the toad outside of the five, No to the pylon,

450
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 1: got down down. Patriots Second is New England debut. That's

451
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 1: a man right there. Boy. I figured they just threw

452
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 1: Zolak in the Boston harbor once Tom Brady left. What

453
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 1: use do you have at that point? But I guess

454
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 1: he's still employed. Scott, Scott. They've done it before, Scott

455
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 1: Zolak with a call for w b Z check under

456
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: the mass Pike cam. Newton rush for fifteen, rush fifteen

457
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: times with seventy five yards and two scores through for

458
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 1: a dredft more, leading the Patriots to a one to

459
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: eleven win over the Dolphins in the first game with

460
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: the post Tom Brady era in New England. Greg I

461
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: wondered on Thursday's preview show how much of this version

462
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 1: of Newton would be running in a Josh McDaniels offense.

463
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: I guess the answers a bunch. Yeah, that is the offense.

464
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know if that'll be the entire

465
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 1: offense each week, but I think it's kind of gonna

466
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: be the base part of it. I mean, I think

467
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: they want to be the Ravens, and they looked like

468
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 1: they wanted to be the raven Not that not that

469
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: Newton's dynamic in the same way, making long runs and

470
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: breaking tackles, but that his running threat and and the

471
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 1: read option and the option players are gonna be kind

472
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: of the the centerpiece of their offense. And and maybe

473
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: that was partly because it was Week one, and Belichick

474
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 1: talked after the game that he thought conditioning was a

475
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: huge factor. And you could see the Dolphins defense getting

476
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 1: more tired and more tired. You could see the Patriots

477
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:26,439
Speaker 1: defense getting a little tired at the end of this

478
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: game too. But three drives after halftime, they were just dominant.

479
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: I mean they had eighteen minutes in those three drives.

480
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:35,919
Speaker 1: They had at least six first downs in each of

481
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 1: those drives. If nikkil Harry hadn't fumbled the ball out

482
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: of the end zone at the goal line, they would

483
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: have scored touchdowns on all three of those drives. And

484
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 1: they basically did the Sessler plan. They just ran the

485
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: clock out. I mean they were done with this thing

486
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 1: by like three forty and then they were back in

487
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:52,679
Speaker 1: the locker room. I mean, this was a Mark Sessler

488
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 1: dream game right here. I started getting all these tweets

489
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: about you're gonna you're gonna love this game on game Pass,

490
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: and then I found out why. I saw some cut

491
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 1: ups two and I kind of trust the Patriots in

492
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 1: Week one as much as anyone, just to be prepared,

493
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: and like they were throwing out some freaky looks and

494
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 1: like heavy sets with like dying guys up on the

495
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,239
Speaker 1: line and like you know, and that's how how some

496
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: of this worked. And the Dolphins just looked a little faceless.

497
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: And then you get this game where you know, everyone's

498
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 1: saying year two in a row for Ryan Fitzpatrick. He

499
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: goes out and throws three picks. I mean, you're you

500
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: have no shot. Yeah. I kept I kept thinking about

501
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: this Patriots running game and what they wanted to do

502
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:33,360
Speaker 1: to kind of hide tom Brady's decline the last year

503
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: or so, and to hide the lack of skill position

504
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: talent at wide receiver. They wanted to have this running game.

505
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: And I almost want to give them credit for for

506
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: having the guts to get rid of Tom Brady and

507
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: bringing Cam Newton as if it was some grand plan. Um.

508
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: I don't think it was the grand plan to bring

509
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 1: in Cam Newton, but what better guy to do it

510
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 1: if that's what you wanted to do, right, Well, that's

511
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: the thing they're adapting, and they're playing to the strength

512
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: of the guys that are there. They lucked out huge

513
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: that no one signed Cam and I think, you know,

514
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 1: teams without quarterbacks are gonna be regretting that because he

515
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: looked like Cam new and you can build a team

516
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 1: around him. We'll see if he stays healthy. But it's greaty.

517
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 1: I mean, he threw the ball nineteen times and he

518
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: ran the ball fifteen times. I mean, is that sustainable.

519
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: We'll see. But I think they're playing another their strength

520
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,400
Speaker 1: and they know what they are, which is the running game.

521
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 1: I think they had five runners, had five or more carries.

522
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: They have this undrafted kid J. J. Taylor who looked

523
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 1: really good, who was a factor. And then their secondary

524
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 1: is really good. Fitzpatrick had no one opened the whole game.

525
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 1: He did throw costly picks um, but they were just

526
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: saying he cannot find anyone open, which isn't a surprise.

527
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 1: Devantie Parker got hurt midway through. And this is a

528
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:44,439
Speaker 1: really good secondary and it doesn't surprise me that the

529
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: Dolphins can't find guys open. Against him. No to I

530
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 1: thought we'd see a little too as as little as

531
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,679
Speaker 1: the Dolphins offense was doing early in this game, But no,

532
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 1: he did. He was never warming up nothing. The page

533
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: just don't have to worry about Cam Newton's health long

534
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: term because they have nothing invested in him, right they

535
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 1: can they can allow him to take a beating. No,

536
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: They're gonna try to win these games, and they're gonna

537
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,199
Speaker 1: see and they're gonna hope some young guys, you know,

538
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 1: step up. Chase Winovitch had a good game that they're

539
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,400
Speaker 1: using this guy, Jawan Williams, who was the second round

540
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,400
Speaker 1: pick to cover sight ends this year. He covered Gisicky

541
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: a lot better than than they did a year ago

542
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,400
Speaker 1: with with Chung. It felt very twenty though. I mean

543
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: everything felt weird about this game, including after the game.

544
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,880
Speaker 1: It's like the Patriots tweet out Waconda Forever with with

545
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: you know, Cam throwing up the X, and I'm like,

546
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: the Patriots sending this out to me is just like,

547
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: what is happening right now? Well, what I thought you

548
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: were going to talk about the skirmish at the at

549
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: midfield after the game, when Dolphins player appeared to attempt

550
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: to rip off the chain of Cam Newton so spicy.

551
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: After the game, Cam, No, he had to be you know,

552
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: carried away by his teammates and then his coaches were

553
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: stopping him apparently. Yes, that's someone tried to move the chain. Try.

554
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: Someone tried to do a keep to leave like chain

555
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: snatch on him. He was preening, as West would say,

556
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: he was doing all the camp things. He had a

557
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 1: huge he was loving it. He was loving it, and

558
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: as Romeo pointed out, like a few times he did

559
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: some advanced things where he changed the play and that worked.

560
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: In a few times he didn't at all, And they

561
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: had these terrible places, but man, he was celebrating, just

562
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 1: like Cam always does. He had that big touchdown run

563
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: where he took a big hit and I mean, like

564
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 1: you could see the huge smile on his face as

565
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 1: he's diving for the pylon. I mean, that's that's just

566
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: that's just who he is. Good. I hope you can

567
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: sustain that level of abuse every week, because that seems

568
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: like a lot of workload for an old, many year

569
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: old man. You know, he's actually in year old body,

570
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: but you know he's thirty one biologically. I think it's

571
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: fair to could you know question whether this is a

572
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: sustainable championship model. But I'm just looking for fun. Give me,

573
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: give me, by the way, that's in a Mixmas and Bridge.

574
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: Cam's not the new Tom Brady. The new Tom Brady

575
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 1: is gonna come down the line when they leverage a

576
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 1: first round pick that's high and they go and they

577
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: get the next hope. But for now, Cam is the guy,

578
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 1: and uh, it's gonna be a little bit of like

579
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 1: the quarterback version of DeMarco Murray his last year in Dallas.

580
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: I would just say that sometimes it's sometimes it's beautiful

581
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: to drive over a nice bridge get a new view.

582
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: I mean, a bridge is not always a bad thing.

583
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: This will be a bridge to nowhere, but it'll still

584
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 1: it's still nice time. I mean, give me a tenor

585
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: eleven wins division title with a lot of fun on

586
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 1: the way. Forget about it. That's not nowhere. That's living.

587
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: I think that's all employee. I agree, I agree. All right,

588
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: let's keep moving at the thirty eight yard line. Let's

589
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: see if he does in factorings forward Russell fourth down

590
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: and five he is four man run. Looks he's gonna

591
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: lay it up over the top. He's got a man down,

592
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: there's red cap. He's got it touched down. Shayhawks on

593
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: fourth down and five. Russ takes the snap, stands back

594
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 1: there like a patient man in white. Fourteen gets open

595
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: for six a thirty eight yard Holy smoke, you guys

596
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 1: are covering dk Metcalf with one man. Forget about it.

597
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 1: He beats them. You know, shout out to Steve Rival

598
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 1: there from k I r oh, because I did have

599
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 1: a moment just now where it's completely deflated by the

600
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 1: state of the world and everything that's been taken from us,

601
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: including people being at these games to celebrate and be

602
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: humans together. But that call was so filled with joy

603
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: and realness, and it came from such a sincere place.

604
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: And I'm back. I want to let you know. And

605
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: now I'm back brib Let. Russ Cook showing what he

606
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: can do and given the chance to cut Russey Wilson

607
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 1: through four touchdown passes, leading the Seahawks thin over the

608
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: Falcons in Atlanta. Mark, you think Bryan Schottenheimer has finally

609
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 1: seen the light, has a new kind of Seahawks attack arrived. Well,

610
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 1: you know, we've got a small sample size to to

611
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: draw a conclusion from. They ran the ball twenty times.

612
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: I think that that that he has seen the light,

613
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 1: and I think that there's probably uh internal pressure as

614
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: well to you know, turn Russell Wilson on from the

615
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: start after the kind of money they're paying him, and

616
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: he totally responded. It was a completely pristine ever by

617
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, and you know the idea that he you know,

618
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: it would be be a step down from the m

619
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 1: v P performance we saw last year. Not right now.

620
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that this is a very effective offense.

621
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: If I told you that the Falcons that Matt Ryan

622
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 1: would throw for four hundred and fifty yards, multiple touchdowns

623
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: with nine completions to three different receivers, I would think

624
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 1: the Falcons would be in control of this game at

625
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: some point. It just simply wasn't the case. They weren't.

626
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: They weren't terrible by any stretch of the imagineagination. But

627
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: Seattle to me um moved away from the feed Chris

628
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 1: Carson and fill in the blank other running back thirty

629
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 1: seven times and have Russell Wilson do special things for

630
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: the last six and a half minutes of the game

631
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 1: where you're forced to suddenly get frisky down the field

632
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: I mean, they attacked from the start, and I think

633
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: if you're a Seahawks fan that's waited for this um,

634
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:23,239
Speaker 1: you're gonna get more of it. M I think the

635
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: Falcons are just gonna get incrementally worse on defense for

636
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 1: every year. I'm alive, Ruther off to a good start,

637
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 1: dead quit will just stay there. Yeah, And and dan

638
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: Quinn will have postgame press conferences where he's where he

639
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 1: said today, He's like, we're pissed, We're pissed, and it's

640
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: almost like he's trying to like convince everyone they're pissed.

641
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: And I'm sure, I'm sure he's pissed. He's a defensive

642
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: coach who's you know, his team's not playing well. But

643
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 1: it's almost like he knows that everyone thinks it's a

644
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: groundhog day. He's been feeling the groundhog day to these

645
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: slow starts. His seasons always has any doesn't have any

646
00:33:56,640 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 1: great solution for it to turn it around, Like over there,

647
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: do you think it's gonna be the guy who's gonna

648
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: turn it around? I thought Fowler was a nice signing,

649
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 1: but I mean he's not going to do it by himself.

650
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: I must note that Jamal Adams Um, what fits very

651
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,280
Speaker 1: well into Seattle's defense. He was all over the place

652
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: because I mean that was that was a way to see,

653
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 1: you know, I wanted to know how he'd fit. But

654
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,280
Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner, who you know, this is not breaking news,

655
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 1: was sensational, and Jamal Adams just right away, um provided pressure.

656
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: He caused chaos in the pocket. Um he was all

657
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 1: over the place, just the way that you'd expect him

658
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: to be. And I think it took a little bit

659
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 1: of the you know, concern over how much they spent

660
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 1: on him. If you're going to get this player week

661
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 1: after week, I think it's like, I know it's week one,

662
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 1: but I really do if if this approach and in

663
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 1: the first half, the Seahawks through it eighteen times and

664
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 1: they ran at five, and so that's a great indication

665
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,360
Speaker 1: because it's it's the first half, it's obviously close that

666
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 1: they come out so past happen. If this really means

667
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,439
Speaker 1: that they are gonna be more passed happy this year,

668
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 1: look watch out. I think that's a huge unlocking of

669
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 1: their potential. Um Our friend Bill Billy Barnwell kind of

670
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: pointed this out with with Andy Reid going for it

671
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: on fourth down, in his own end last year, Like

672
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,760
Speaker 1: Andy Reid is always one of the most conservative guys

673
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 1: on fourth down, and he had some luck with it

674
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl last year, and then now he's

675
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:22,839
Speaker 1: starting to go for fourth time. It's like, watch out

676
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,319
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs if they're suddenly actually taking advantage of

677
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: the fourth down like the Ravens used to the Ravens.

678
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 1: And watch out for the Seahawks if they're a past

679
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: first team and they're letting rust you know, Cook to

680
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 1: the fullest of visibilities. Man, they're dangerous. You know, I'm

681
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: rewatching breaking bad right now. So when people say let

682
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,840
Speaker 1: rust Cook, it's it's a little weird for me. Um. Also,

683
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,799
Speaker 1: does anyone call Bill Barnewell Billy Barnwell, because I just

684
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 1: maybe that should be a thing. Probably maybe his grandmother

685
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:57,280
Speaker 1: type of you know, it's like type call from the booth,

686
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,760
Speaker 1: that type of vibe, you know, easy Midwestern vibe. Elie Barnwell.

687
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 1: I like that Billy b I don't know if I've

688
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 1: ever said it to his face, right, I'd like to

689
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: find out how he feels about the beat suddenly being

690
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: called Billy as a as a you know, midstage adult.

691
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 1: The last guy that called Bill Barnwell, Billy ended up underground.

692
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 1: I have, I have this on good authority. A lot

693
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 1: of dead people. Yeah, unless you call him Billy. Any

694
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: other thoughts on this game. I thought that Todd Gurley

695
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 1: for all the you know, you know, Todd Gurley essentially

696
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 1: put him out to put him out on a boat

697
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 1: into the ocean talk. You know. I have one of

698
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 1: the people saying that, but like it would be like

699
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 1: a funeral buyer, kind of like the funeral. Yeah, one

700
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 1: of those deals, you know. But he's like, guys, don't

701
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:47,359
Speaker 1: shoot fire arrows at my boat. I'm alive. He ran,

702
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 1: you know. My expectations are just very low, and it's like,

703
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: where are we gonna be two months with with Gurley

704
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 1: and his knees and stuff. But m m, he ran

705
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 1: pretty well today. And I mean other players on the

706
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,800
Speaker 1: team thought that he looked like the old Todd Gurley.

707
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 1: I don't know if he looked actually like the old

708
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,320
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley. I mean, that wasn't like the most party.

709
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 1: That wasn't a huge cell by you there, Marcus. He

710
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 1: didn't come out think I'm out of the tunnel in

711
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 1: a wheelchair. So no, I'm not because I don't. I'm

712
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:12,319
Speaker 1: not trying to like people are gonna go watch this

713
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 1: game and be like Cessler thought Gurley looked awesome. That's

714
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 1: not what I'm saying. It's just that the variance of

715
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 1: what we could have gotten from Todd Gurley could have

716
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 1: been a lot worse. He looks starts every take playing

717
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 1: defense against possible tweets. Well, you ever try being me

718
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 1: on this podcast. You gotta you gotta start on defense,

719
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: all right, Let's uh, let's keep moving. Shoe Robinson the

720
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:36,239
Speaker 1: running back, play fake mince you looks fires corn of

721
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: the end zone, wide open, stealing Cole is gonna walk

722
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: into the end zone, puts down Jacksonville Jackson taking the

723
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: lead with five fifty six to play in the ball game.

724
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:52,439
Speaker 1: Frank Frangie with the called w o kay the tank

725
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:58,360
Speaker 1: for trad not so fast. Gardner meanshoe through three touchdown passes,

726
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 1: including at twenty two yard You cool in the fourth quarter.

727
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: The Jags opened the season by beating the Colts Rosevels Colts.

728
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 1: Rosie has the Cults in the Super Bowl winning it all.

729
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 1: He couldn't beat the Jars, and we stopped hitting now

730
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 1: because the debts loss in the papers West West US

731
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: sky high on the Colts as well entering Week one.

732
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 1: What we're wrong here? They were squandering sons of building blocks.

733
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:32,439
Speaker 1: I mean they squandered the whole game, squandered early, squandered late,

734
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 1: and squandered the lead away. They they doubled the total

735
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 1: yardage of the Jaguars. They didn't punt a single time

736
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,799
Speaker 1: in this game, Um, but they gave it away to

737
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers interceptions, Nae mind stuffed um inside the five

738
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:51,360
Speaker 1: yard line on fourth down. Rodrigo blanket Ship, the rookie

739
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 1: field goal kicker missed, missed a kick, Um Dack Doyle

740
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 1: had a crackback block that interrupted a drive late in

741
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 1: the game. A lot of a lot of mistakes, And

742
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: I was wondering, if I'm a Colts fan, how do

743
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:07,879
Speaker 1: I feel about this game? You lose to a team

744
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: you should be that. That's no good. He lose Marlon

745
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 1: Mack probably for the year with an achilles. On the

746
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 1: other hand, Naim Hinds. You look at him and you

747
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,399
Speaker 1: couldn't ask for a quarterback more suited to bring out

748
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 1: Naim Heins skill set. Jonathan Taylor undeniably looks electric with

749
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 1: the ball in his hands, and even though you don't

750
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 1: have Marlon mack jon and Taylor is a bigger, big

751
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:34,280
Speaker 1: play threat. You can already see that he's incredibly talented.

752
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:40,359
Speaker 1: Um Philip Rivers throws two interceptions on balls. Maybe they

753
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 1: don't get intercepted early in his career when he's got

754
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 1: more muscle on the ball. He's always gonna give his

755
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 1: receivers a chance to make plays in fifty fifty situations.

756
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 1: And he got burned a couple of times today on that.

757
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 1: And he got burned because it looked like the Colts

758
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 1: plan was to attack Jaguars rookie first rounder C. J. Henderson,

759
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:00,080
Speaker 1: who was the player of the game, and intercepts and

760
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 1: three pass breakups, a couple of big tackles right in

761
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 1: front of the first down marker and key situations. Really

762
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 1: big game from him. Mm hmm, I'm I want to

763
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 1: This is one of the games I'm gonna dial up

764
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: pretty early on game pass just because it's so weird.

765
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 1: I mean, Minshew had one in completion, as you mentioned.

766
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: I mean they the Jaggers only had but less than

767
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: three hundred yards in the scheme, two hundred and forty

768
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 1: one yards in this game, and they found a way

769
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 1: uh to win it. And then of all the young

770
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 1: players you mentioned Paris Campbell, I don't think he said

771
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 1: his name too. They were he was their leading receiver.

772
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 1: So it was like a lot of new Colts. Uh.

773
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 1: It almost sounds like a Chargers game though you know,

774
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 1: you know, it looked like it looked like Rivers had

775
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 1: been in that offense for ten union. He was doing things.

776
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 1: He caught the Jaguars defense off guard a few times.

777
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 1: He had tricks up his sleeve. Like you said, he

778
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,360
Speaker 1: had total confidence in Paris Campbell was throwing him in

779
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 1: the ball a lot and key situations. Um. I was

780
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 1: really impressed with Philip Rivers. To me, if I'm a

781
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 1: Colts fan, I think, Okay, he made a the mistakes

782
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 1: and he's not quite what he used to be arm

783
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 1: strength wise, but he's got total command of this offense

784
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 1: and he's got enough talent here that to get fifth

785
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: four and fifty yards. Like it almost feels like you

786
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 1: should do that every week. I would West, I'd ask like,

787
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,839
Speaker 1: if you're a concerned Cults fan, and you in your mind,

788
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 1: if these two teams played each other the next nine weeks,

789
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:22,400
Speaker 1: what would Indies record be? Uh? And also is. I mean,

790
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the Minshew day and I I love it.

791
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 1: But is there an element of fools gold there? Does

792
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 1: or does it only strengthen what you were a Minshew guy?

793
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 1: Does it strengthen what you feel about Minshew? Well, I

794
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 1: would say the Cults will go eight and two in

795
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 1: that ten game sample size. They thoroughly outplayed the Jaguars today. Um,

796
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 1: they Jaguars capitalized. And that's where I give him in

797
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 1: show Minshew credit. He didn't ever go beyond himself. Jake

798
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:49,799
Speaker 1: Ruden called a really good game. Um, it was pretty conservative,

799
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 1: but he played to the He called it to the scoreboard,

800
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 1: and Minshew played to the scoreboard when they didn't take

801
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 1: any chances when the games were close, and he kept

802
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 1: them in it and in shoe short passes inaccurate and

803
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 1: James Robinson the undrafted rookie, first undrafted rookie to start

804
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 1: a running back in the NFL on opening day in

805
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:13,359
Speaker 1: thirty years. It looks pretty good. So they do have

806
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 1: some symbones of a running game, um, and a ball

807
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: control attack. I'm not gonna you're not gonna look at

808
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:22,439
Speaker 1: this and think like Phil Sims Super Bowl good. He's

809
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:30,360
Speaker 1: nineteen and twenty because of situation and good decision making. Mhm, well, listen,

810
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers was famous for these losses and Chargers land too.

811
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 1: Let's be fair, these games where it's like narrow losses

812
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 1: to a team that you shouldn't have been with a

813
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:43,359
Speaker 1: couple with a couple of turnovers involved, and listen, West

814
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,279
Speaker 1: watch the game. I still have to watch it. But

815
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:47,880
Speaker 1: how many times did we read about these games that

816
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 1: involved Rivers in San Diego or l A. And now

817
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 1: that that seemed to have followed them to Indianapolis, Well,

818
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if and Jackson's single game in Jackson

819
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 1: Wilson the jag Wears own the cold, sneaky, it's fair

820
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:06,319
Speaker 1: to make that point then, But I'm just thinking as

821
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 1: a Colt fan, if I'm this is this is the

822
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:11,800
Speaker 1: first I've seen out the Rivers, and on the spectrum

823
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 1: of where he could have been, like, washed up is

824
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:16,560
Speaker 1: one possibility, and he did not look washed up in

825
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 1: any way to me, So if I'm a I'm excited

826
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:21,799
Speaker 1: that he he can move this offense up and down

827
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:25,800
Speaker 1: the field almost at will, especially after watching sixteen games

828
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 1: of Jacoby Brissette. And we like Jake brisket, but he

829
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:31,319
Speaker 1: is not the most fun quarterback to watch. Rivers at

830
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 1: least slings it around and he's he's got he opened

831
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 1: so many possibilities. Yeah, he lets the coaching staff do

832
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 1: more things. Yeah, all right, let's keep moving. Shotgun formation

833
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 1: snapped to Murray in trouble, steps up and runs to

834
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:47,439
Speaker 1: his right at the twenty, cuts back to the left

835
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 1: of the tent, breaks a tackle of the five, running

836
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:54,239
Speaker 1: right for the end zone, touched out. If you're going

837
00:43:54,320 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 1: to go after him, you, oh my god, Ron will

838
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 1: be sounds like the incredible Hulk. Now what is going on?

839
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 1: Is that is his voice? There's no one in the stadium.

840
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:16,359
Speaker 1: It used to be the Jesse the body. He's graduated

841
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 1: from Jesse, the body of entire, and he's now Hulk.

842
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:25,320
Speaker 1: It's cooler every year. We love Ron Wolfe kt C

843
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:27,880
Speaker 1: A R with the call. Kyler Murray through for two

844
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 1: and thirty yards in a touchdown, ran for ninety yards

845
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 1: in another store. In fact, he was over a hundred

846
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:35,759
Speaker 1: and then lost his hundred yard game because of QB

847
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:40,359
Speaker 1: neildowns at the end. But anyway, the Cardinals win over

848
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 1: the defending NFC champion Niners at a smoky browl bottom

849
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:49,840
Speaker 1: Mark Cliff Kingsbury's team watched wiped out to fourth quarter deficits,

850
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 1: got a big stop at the end. A great start

851
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 1: to the season for the card Yeah, I mean our

852
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:58,440
Speaker 1: friend Jason Zumwalt, a noted Cardinals fan, texted Danny texted

853
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 1: us he was rather a is pleased and seeking other

854
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:04,239
Speaker 1: ways to feel good about his life. At one point, Um,

855
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 1: during the game, it was kind of faceless early on,

856
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:09,320
Speaker 1: and it was, you know, outside of a big catch

857
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 1: and run touchdown by Raheem Moster, there just wasn't a

858
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 1: lot happening. And then suddenly I really think it was

859
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray's legs and and this is this is the

860
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 1: threat that he brings and they know how to use

861
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:23,239
Speaker 1: him that way. Um changed the game entirely. And then

862
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:25,319
Speaker 1: you know, there was a lot of hemming and hallind

863
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:27,919
Speaker 1: over DeAndre Hopkins and the fact that he didn't really

864
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 1: work with Kyler Murray in the offseason much at all,

865
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:34,880
Speaker 1: very little time together in camp. Fourteen catches a hundred

866
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 1: and fifty one yards and he should have had a touchdown,

867
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 1: right he did, and he like he he had a

868
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 1: touchdown that they brought back to the one which created

869
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 1: a Kenyan Drake touchdown, So you know, all all washed

870
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:49,280
Speaker 1: out the same. He looked good. What there were plays

871
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 1: where Hopkins and Murray were not on the same page

872
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:55,720
Speaker 1: um early on, but he really caught fire late. And

873
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 1: I just think this Cardinals offense and to to in

874
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:01,279
Speaker 1: the from a predictable nature. They ran a ton of

875
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 1: ten and eleven um sets where you just got a

876
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:06,520
Speaker 1: ton of wide out So I think that spread that

877
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:08,840
Speaker 1: kind of you know, spreads out the defense, and it

878
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:10,880
Speaker 1: spread out the Niners defense and probably made them a

879
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 1: little bit uncomfortable. The bigger issue for the Niners there

880
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 1: was a scary looking injury to George Kittle, and he

881
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 1: said basically he kind of Jimmy g threw a pass

882
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 1: high Kittle left up into the air and got taken

883
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:27,319
Speaker 1: down on his knee and basically came back in the game.

884
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 1: It never was really the same, and it kind of

885
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:32,359
Speaker 1: just showed you that I think he'll be all right,

886
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:35,359
Speaker 1: but that that when he's not in there, you really

887
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 1: don't have a whole lot right now behind behind Mustard.

888
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 1: I mean, it's you've got really one or two guys

889
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 1: that can contribute, and Jimmy G had a chance to

890
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 1: go down and win this with a touchdown at the end,

891
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:48,280
Speaker 1: and he you know, the Cardinals have a few pieces

892
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 1: on defense. This one guy um second year corner Byron

893
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 1: Murphy made a great breakup on a pass that also

894
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:57,279
Speaker 1: Jimmy G through to Trent Tailor and threw behind him

895
00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:59,440
Speaker 1: a little bit on a key fourth and five and

896
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:01,879
Speaker 1: airs on a sixteen. I mean that the game came

897
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:04,120
Speaker 1: down to that. These guys, he's playing each other close.

898
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:06,319
Speaker 1: Jimmy G made a few bad throws in this game.

899
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:10,800
Speaker 1: I mean he threw ten throws to his wide receivers.

900
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:14,120
Speaker 1: We've been talking about these wide receivers and figuring, Okay,

901
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 1: Shanahan can scheme it up, and I'm sure he he will,

902
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:20,759
Speaker 1: But only ten throws to your wide receivers for only

903
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 1: a total of forty one yards, which and it's Kendrick

904
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 1: born in Trent Taylor. It's like, well, then the kid

905
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 1: will has to be dominating and your defense has to

906
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:33,840
Speaker 1: be dominating, and just off the off the statue. To me,

907
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 1: it's shocking. They had three QB hits mark forty throws

908
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:40,799
Speaker 1: for Kyler Murray. I know they throw a quick uh.

909
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 1: The Arizona but it's like, that's not the forty Niners

910
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 1: defense were used to see. No, it just didn't look

911
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 1: like they didn't. It didn't carry over for the Niners

912
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 1: on either side of the ball. I think they a

913
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:52,719
Speaker 1: healthy version of the team will be fine. But you know,

914
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 1: I just would say, you come away feeling exciting if

915
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 1: you're a Cardinals fan, because the stuff that you were

916
00:47:57,360 --> 00:48:00,399
Speaker 1: anticipating and hoping showed up by the end the game.

917
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:04,399
Speaker 1: It feels like a little bit of reductive thinking going

918
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:06,319
Speaker 1: into the season two because we knew that these wide

919
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:08,920
Speaker 1: receiver issues were real for the Niners, and there just

920
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:11,360
Speaker 1: seemed to be a vibe like, well, George Kittle is amazing,

921
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:14,359
Speaker 1: so they'll just funnel him and he'll get seven targets. Yeah,

922
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 1: but guess what the other the other team on the

923
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 1: other side of the field knows what's coming. And that's

924
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 1: a tough situation for Kittle. And you mentioned the Kittle

925
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 1: lower body issue. That's scary. It doesn't make me think

926
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 1: a little bit with him because he's known as a

927
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 1: tremendous blocker in addition to being a great playmaker. That

928
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:34,880
Speaker 1: that was Gronk, That was Pete Gronk and his body

929
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 1: got beat up after a while repeatedly because he was

930
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:41,280
Speaker 1: physical in all ways. I hope that's not George Kittle's future,

931
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:43,440
Speaker 1: but he was banged up throughout last year and it

932
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 1: sounds like it's happening again now. Yeah. I think that's

933
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:51,759
Speaker 1: a fair comparison for playing style both relentless after the catch,

934
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 1: and that's where a lot of injuries happened to um.

935
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:56,880
Speaker 1: But I don't think you're gonna change the way George

936
00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 1: Kittle play, so you just have to live with him

937
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:02,399
Speaker 1: being an injury. These division wins are big early, that's

938
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 1: the thing. I know, these games we're not taking as

939
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:06,959
Speaker 1: much as you normally would, but it's it's still gonna

940
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:08,920
Speaker 1: be the same division win. That the fact that they

941
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:10,760
Speaker 1: got it done. Who knows, maybe there'll be a crowd

942
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:14,239
Speaker 1: in Arizona by the time they can actually uh play

943
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 1: there again. They I mean, Kingsbury loves it if you

944
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 1: can be out rushing Kyle shay Inahan. I mean, these

945
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:21,919
Speaker 1: two offenses are so different, but they both want to run.

946
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:24,759
Speaker 1: And Kyler Murray running for that much meant they ran

947
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:26,920
Speaker 1: for a hundred and eighty yards. I mean that that

948
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:30,640
Speaker 1: is a recipe to win in Arizona. Hey, west, you

949
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 1: right ahead to the corner of Main Street and Lincoln

950
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:40,320
Speaker 1: Avenue in the west side of Cincinnati. Oh yeah, I

951
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:45,279
Speaker 1: just took a guess, took a shot atoln doesn't sound right?

952
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 1: All right? Right near by house from the right half

953
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 1: Pete Rose Way, and it's no good. He pushed it

954
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:02,640
Speaker 1: wide right. The Chargers are gonna win on a missed

955
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:10,760
Speaker 1: field goal by Randy Bullock. Ah, Randy. Randy Bullock missed

956
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 1: the thirty one yard field goal try with two seconds

957
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:17,520
Speaker 1: to play, spoiling Joe Burrow's NFL debut and allowing the

958
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:20,920
Speaker 1: Chargers to escape with a sin at Paul Brown Stadium. That,

959
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:24,240
Speaker 1: of course, by the way, was our buddy Matt money Smith,

960
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:26,800
Speaker 1: the voice of God for the Around the NFL podcast,

961
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:32,759
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow's debut listen. It wasn't uh, it wasn't r

962
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 1: G three back in two thousand twelve. It wasn't this

963
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 1: like incredible game that will never forget. But he showed things.

964
00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 1: He had a great touchdown scramble twenty three yards on

965
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:43,719
Speaker 1: a it wasn't even scramble. I think it was a

966
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 1: designed draw. And then he led the team down the field. Um,

967
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:50,799
Speaker 1: he was up and down throughout the four quarters. But

968
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:54,080
Speaker 1: then when he needed to get them uh into field

969
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:58,359
Speaker 1: goal position or scoring position. He recovered from a bad interception.

970
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 1: Uh Melvin Room picked him off on a shovel pass.

971
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 1: He's leading him down the field, he spots a J.

972
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:07,480
Speaker 1: Green in the corner front corner of the end zone,

973
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:12,120
Speaker 1: hits him for the apparent game winning touchdown. Flag comes

974
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 1: out offensive past interference on a J. Green. It was

975
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:18,880
Speaker 1: the right call, it wasn't maybe maybe it wasn't a

976
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:22,320
Speaker 1: no brainer, but I understand why the flag was thrown.

977
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 1: So they bring out Randy and he pushes it right

978
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 1: and immediately comes down with some type of lower body

979
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:31,360
Speaker 1: injury himself. I don't know. Sometimes you wonder with kickers

980
00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:35,839
Speaker 1: this this is a little bit convenient up the calf

981
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:38,000
Speaker 1: one out, just missed the thirty one yard or uh

982
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 1: welcoming the kicker club with that kind of derision. Yeah, yeah, Well,

983
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 1: now Randy has been trying to get in the kicker

984
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 1: club for many years. This is not going to help

985
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:50,879
Speaker 1: him anyway. So the Chargers get the win. Good for them.

986
00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:52,960
Speaker 1: They lost a lot of games like this last year,

987
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:55,520
Speaker 1: so it's good to see them get this win. The

988
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:58,279
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor, or I wish Tyrod Taylor was just like,

989
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 1: what's the thing from Star Wars Mark Han Sol gets

990
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:05,480
Speaker 1: frozen in carbon carbonite? Yeah, carbon freeze. That is that

991
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:10,760
Speaker 1: the reference? Okay, Um, so I went Taylor was frozen

992
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 1: in carbonite, the perfect hard knocks quarterback because once the

993
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:17,000
Speaker 1: guy starts playing, he just kind of puts me to sleep. Uh.

994
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:19,600
Speaker 1: And this offense wasn't doing much. But the Chargers get

995
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:22,840
Speaker 1: the win and the Bengal is gonna bangle and bungle.

996
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:33,440
Speaker 1: They did kick Burrow go ahead men, kick man came close, right,

997
00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:36,239
Speaker 1: I mean that calf muscle, I don't want it to be,

998
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:38,040
Speaker 1: but that thing better be off the bone to be

999
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:41,080
Speaker 1: missing a thirty one yard Yeah, miss the kick kicks?

1000
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 1: I think what I wait, what a way to have

1001
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:46,960
Speaker 1: your guy, your rookie quarterback, looks like he's gonna bring

1002
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:50,400
Speaker 1: you back for the win. You lose the touchdown, at

1003
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:56,080
Speaker 1: least you have the tie and then your kicker and

1004
00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 1: against worse, we had a lock of the week and

1005
00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:10,879
Speaker 1: it was who remotely me and Ri tell that had

1006
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:13,240
Speaker 1: to be a little painful. Um, I mean I felt

1007
00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 1: the pain here just because I don't know, I wanted

1008
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow to have an exciting start here, but if

1009
00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:20,960
Speaker 1: you're picking them as a lock the Bengals, something's a

1010
00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:25,799
Speaker 1: little different. Exactly. Oh no, it was just like it

1011
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:28,560
Speaker 1: was like a gauntlet. Who can you pick? Like every

1012
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:31,360
Speaker 1: team you want to pick, it's like, oh no, they're problems.

1013
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:33,399
Speaker 1: They're probably not gonna pass the mirror test. I gotta

1014
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:39,240
Speaker 1: go check greg test, you know. So I wanted the Dealers,

1015
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:40,719
Speaker 1: but then I didn't feel right. So I was like,

1016
00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:44,279
Speaker 1: I gotta take someone here. And it felt fun to

1017
00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:47,000
Speaker 1: pick Burrow. I don't think I was really competitive spirit

1018
00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:49,440
Speaker 1: well highs. It didn't really kill me to lose a

1019
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:52,759
Speaker 1: lock in the first game. Yeah, it was. It's gonna

1020
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:56,719
Speaker 1: be a tough watch for the Bengals fan deep within

1021
00:53:57,239 --> 00:54:01,560
Speaker 1: Chris Westling because Burrow the the touchdown round was fun

1022
00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:04,240
Speaker 1: and the final drive showed some moxie. But he also

1023
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:07,080
Speaker 1: overthrew John Ross for a touchdown. He overthrew a J

1024
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:15,960
Speaker 1: Greens that Ross should catch. Let's just get definitely well,

1025
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:19,760
Speaker 1: I saw one pen yes, I saw one pass where

1026
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:23,160
Speaker 1: he you know, I was scrambling around behind let's let's

1027
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:25,440
Speaker 1: remember a very bad offensive line in my opinion, and

1028
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 1: he he got hammered on a fourteen yard sack directly

1029
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:31,320
Speaker 1: as a result of like incredible pressure from the Chargers.

1030
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:33,720
Speaker 1: But there was a pass he threw to Mixing where

1031
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 1: he basically threw it behind him to Mixing, and Mixing

1032
00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:38,759
Speaker 1: obviously didn't catch it and had to run around to

1033
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 1: scramble and jump on it to basically recover what was

1034
00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:43,759
Speaker 1: a fumble. But then he had that touchdown run after,

1035
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:45,799
Speaker 1: and I guess, like, what more would you want from

1036
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:48,400
Speaker 1: a guy who's never played an NFL snap then to

1037
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:51,279
Speaker 1: make good plays after a few bad ones. I think

1038
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:53,800
Speaker 1: it showed some resilience and you know, I mean, Burrow

1039
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 1: to me is exciting. He plays a terrible Browns defense

1040
00:54:57,040 --> 00:55:00,200
Speaker 1: next on Thursday night, so he may not be too

1041
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:02,680
Speaker 1: far from a from another good outeam. The final drive

1042
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:05,680
Speaker 1: was very composed. I mean, that was that was a plus.

1043
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:08,880
Speaker 1: You know. The negative is you you watch him and

1044
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 1: you see a little bit of Danny Dimes in there,

1045
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:13,399
Speaker 1: and that is that you don't feel like he's got

1046
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:17,719
Speaker 1: a a big arm, and so you know he's creative,

1047
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:20,719
Speaker 1: but you gotta you gotta. That's where you need your

1048
00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:22,600
Speaker 1: mental stuff to catch up. And that's tough as a

1049
00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:24,680
Speaker 1: rookie in your first game, looks like you you gotta

1050
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:26,640
Speaker 1: be if you don't have a big arm, it's gonna

1051
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:29,719
Speaker 1: be his legs and it's gonna be him creating some

1052
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:31,839
Speaker 1: and they're right in this game. I mean, that's why

1053
00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:34,239
Speaker 1: I'm not I know I had him in the in

1054
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:37,640
Speaker 1: the playoffs as one of my one of my props here,

1055
00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:40,040
Speaker 1: but this is why I love Anthony Lynn the man.

1056
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:42,920
Speaker 1: But sometimes the game management decisions during the game is

1057
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:45,400
Speaker 1: he plays them so close to the vest, and I

1058
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:48,440
Speaker 1: think he invites games like this, you know, kicking fifty

1059
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:50,600
Speaker 1: five yard field goals instead of going for it on

1060
00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:53,840
Speaker 1: fourth and two. Hate that they miss it, of course,

1061
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:56,160
Speaker 1: it sets them up. And it's just it's not surprising

1062
00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:59,160
Speaker 1: that this team like grinds it out against the Bengals

1063
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 1: team that's maybe a little shorter on talent. You know,

1064
00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:09,040
Speaker 1: we are about ten months away from next summer when

1065
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:11,360
Speaker 1: we're being told that the game is slowing down for

1066
00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:14,439
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow and he sees the field so much better

1067
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 1: it did. I'm not name your favorite quarterback expert, Tom

1068
00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:22,319
Speaker 1: House or Dan Orlovsky. I'm not any of those guys,

1069
00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:24,160
Speaker 1: but it did seem like things were moving a little

1070
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:25,920
Speaker 1: fast for the kid in the first game, and of

1071
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:30,000
Speaker 1: course it should no preseason games, no real off season program,

1072
00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:32,359
Speaker 1: and now you're in the game week one. It gets

1073
00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:35,600
Speaker 1: a very good Chargers pass rush. I would say, all

1074
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:37,960
Speaker 1: things considered, and he did leave throws on the field

1075
00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 1: and all that, and he had a really bad turnover

1076
00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:42,919
Speaker 1: on the shovel pass to Ingram. I'm still feeling very

1077
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:45,640
Speaker 1: excited right now because he brings juice to the building.

1078
00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:49,280
Speaker 1: I think things were moving fast for him, in large

1079
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:52,200
Speaker 1: part because his tackles were getting beat, but also because

1080
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:54,200
Speaker 1: it took him a while to go through his progressions.

1081
00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:56,880
Speaker 1: And I thought he looked way more decisive as a

1082
00:56:56,920 --> 00:56:59,680
Speaker 1: runner than he did as a passer. He looked really

1083
00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:01,319
Speaker 1: good to me. Whenever he had to pull it down

1084
00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:03,320
Speaker 1: and ron, he did it decisively and got where he

1085
00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:06,600
Speaker 1: wanted to get right And in college, like you'll learn

1086
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:08,840
Speaker 1: that shovel pass yet, I mean, that's the type of

1087
00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 1: thing you don't see in college. A two hundred and

1088
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:14,759
Speaker 1: seventy pound Melvin Ingram table. However, you're running back and

1089
00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:17,360
Speaker 1: catch a pass, it's like it's just you don't expect.

1090
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:22,240
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on, Mark, you know, I've decided

1091
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:26,200
Speaker 1: to isolate these two games, and with Halloween coming up

1092
00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:29,200
Speaker 1: around the corner, entered the haunted mansion of the Around

1093
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:36,640
Speaker 1: the NFL podcast. It's appropriate, you guys get your own

1094
00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:41,840
Speaker 1: what the hell? What the hell of a day? Come in?

1095
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:44,600
Speaker 1: If you dare Jackson to throw on third down and

1096
00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:50,280
Speaker 1: don't touchdown? Mark Andrews his second of a day. That

1097
00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:55,560
Speaker 1: was a great back shoulder throw, back to back touchdown

1098
00:57:55,680 --> 00:58:01,880
Speaker 1: drives for Lamar Jackson, Jerry say Dusky and Femmi Iya

1099
00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:05,400
Speaker 1: Bundejo of w B A L w B A L.

1100
00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:08,480
Speaker 1: With the call, Lamar Jackson through for two and seventy

1101
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:13,000
Speaker 1: five yards and three touchdowns, and the Ravens roll to

1102
00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:17,960
Speaker 1: a thirty eight to six win, ruining the debut of

1103
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:21,800
Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski and his maiden voyage was Cleveland head coach.

1104
00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:25,240
Speaker 1: Market appears that the Browns weren't remotely closed ready for

1105
00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:29,400
Speaker 1: the defending division chances. Yeah, I think I, like a

1106
00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:32,360
Speaker 1: lot of Browns fans, had concern about this particular matchup

1107
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:35,840
Speaker 1: being your Week one draw, and um, you know it's funny.

1108
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:39,480
Speaker 1: I tweeted out this video on Saturday about their opening

1109
00:58:39,600 --> 00:58:42,760
Speaker 1: drive last year against the Titans where Baker Mayfield and

1110
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:45,200
Speaker 1: the offense just marched down the field and you're thinking,

1111
00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:48,240
Speaker 1: this is it, this is what we've been hearing about

1112
00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:50,920
Speaker 1: all summer, and all these pieces are you know, playing

1113
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:54,080
Speaker 1: in concert. And then Austin Cybert botched the p A

1114
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:57,240
Speaker 1: T and like the game went totally downhill from here.

1115
00:58:57,720 --> 00:59:00,200
Speaker 1: He missed his first p A T again today and

1116
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:02,920
Speaker 1: it kind of just reawoke in horrid memories from a

1117
00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:05,440
Speaker 1: year ago. I kind of think, if you're a Browns fan,

1118
00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:07,760
Speaker 1: you gotta blow it up. You just gotta throw bury

1119
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:09,520
Speaker 1: the ball, as they say, get rid of it and

1120
00:59:09,560 --> 00:59:12,200
Speaker 1: hope things improved. They look completely out of sync and

1121
00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:13,800
Speaker 1: had a lot to do with who they were playing.

1122
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:16,040
Speaker 1: The Ravens are I think, one of the best teams

1123
00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:18,800
Speaker 1: in the league. When they target a free agent, he

1124
00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:22,919
Speaker 1: comes in and he contributes right away. Calias Campbell right

1125
00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:26,240
Speaker 1: off the bat, tipped to pass. He knocked another one

1126
00:59:26,240 --> 00:59:28,160
Speaker 1: down late in the game. He had another tip that

1127
00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:31,200
Speaker 1: interested that turned into an early Baker Mayfield interception. The

1128
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:34,400
Speaker 1: Browns never really got on track after that ever. Again, Uh,

1129
00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:36,560
Speaker 1: they have all these parts and they don't look like

1130
00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:40,280
Speaker 1: they do. Where the Ravens lamar Jackson, you know, to

1131
00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:42,120
Speaker 1: me through the air played one of the better games

1132
00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:45,440
Speaker 1: we've seen it. Think it was they just looked like

1133
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:47,360
Speaker 1: they didn't They didn't miss a beat. And I think

1134
00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:50,160
Speaker 1: if you're a Ravens fan, everyone's saying there's no way

1135
00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:53,280
Speaker 1: to get back to fourteen and two, okay, but if

1136
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:55,560
Speaker 1: you play like this, you're gonna be real close. Or

1137
00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:57,280
Speaker 1: here's the better thing, you're gonna be a better team

1138
00:59:57,320 --> 00:59:58,760
Speaker 1: than you were last year. I think they did a

1139
00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:02,600
Speaker 1: better job st copping the run. The Patrick queen Um

1140
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:05,840
Speaker 1: made plays. You know, you know, rookie young Ravens skies

1141
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:08,520
Speaker 1: don't take they don't take four years to develop. That

1142
01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:12,560
Speaker 1: happens quicker in Baltimore. And they just looked like they

1143
01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:14,840
Speaker 1: weren't missing any pieces. I also think they played a

1144
01:00:14,840 --> 01:00:18,560
Speaker 1: pretty bad team. So let's see how the Ravens look

1145
01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:21,600
Speaker 1: when they played the Texans next time around. Yeah, this

1146
01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:23,560
Speaker 1: doesn't look good. Just looking at the box score mark,

1147
01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:27,080
Speaker 1: it looks like, uh Baker Mayfield struggle the average less

1148
01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:29,880
Speaker 1: than five yards per tempted draded the dreaded Gabbard zone.

1149
01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:33,040
Speaker 1: Looks like you did some damage on the ground. But

1150
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:37,720
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham three for two a couple of bad drops,

1151
01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:41,120
Speaker 1: a couple of targets. Yep, Myles Garrett, I love you,

1152
01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:44,840
Speaker 1: but you know, very little production from Myles Garrett today.

1153
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:47,640
Speaker 1: And I just I You've got these names, but they

1154
01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:50,880
Speaker 1: don't they don't seem to make it happen here in

1155
01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:54,720
Speaker 1: these games, those guys have to play like superstars, not

1156
01:00:54,800 --> 01:01:00,480
Speaker 1: just decent starters. They have superstars. And by the way,

1157
01:01:00,520 --> 01:01:03,360
Speaker 1: I saw everybody getting on me on Twitter about locking

1158
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:07,640
Speaker 1: up the Ravens. But you know what, I speaking of

1159
01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:10,320
Speaker 1: the haunted houses, like everyone was just wanted to make

1160
01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:12,720
Speaker 1: Freddie Kitchens the boogeyman. I just wanted to go out

1161
01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:14,840
Speaker 1: there and say, before a week one, let's see if

1162
01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:16,840
Speaker 1: that guy was really the only thing that's the problem

1163
01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:19,800
Speaker 1: in that building. Uh in beret on the haunted buryer,

1164
01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:23,280
Speaker 1: the the burial ground that the whole building is built on.

1165
01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 1: And apparently that's not. If you can't blame Freddie anymore,

1166
01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:28,920
Speaker 1: because this team looked every bit as bad as it

1167
01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:31,400
Speaker 1: did with Freddie Kitchens as the head coach. And I

1168
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:33,880
Speaker 1: will but I will allow let me say this though,

1169
01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:36,040
Speaker 1: people that were getting on me for not looking in

1170
01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:37,800
Speaker 1: the mirror, I gotta be honest. I didn't even look

1171
01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:39,919
Speaker 1: in the mirror. I was I didn't really have time.

1172
01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:43,960
Speaker 1: We were busy on Thursday. People thought. Yeah, for people

1173
01:01:43,960 --> 01:01:46,400
Speaker 1: who thought that maybe it's unfair to be locking up

1174
01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:49,160
Speaker 1: the Ravens in that situation, I will make it up

1175
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:51,960
Speaker 1: to everyone that's a listener by locking up a team

1176
01:01:52,040 --> 01:01:54,919
Speaker 1: that really doesn't need to be locked up in week two.

1177
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:56,760
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna that's what I do. That's what the

1178
01:01:56,800 --> 01:01:58,760
Speaker 1: old Juser does. I'm even in the scales if you

1179
01:01:58,840 --> 01:02:01,160
Speaker 1: really thought that I was out of line, but I'm

1180
01:02:01,240 --> 01:02:02,840
Speaker 1: I'm taking this lot because there were a lot of

1181
01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:05,160
Speaker 1: people that thought the Browns were gonna be better and

1182
01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:08,920
Speaker 1: they were this post hype sleeper. Yeah, I'm not gonna

1183
01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:11,160
Speaker 1: give up on on them because they got drugged by

1184
01:02:11,200 --> 01:02:14,439
Speaker 1: the Ravens and I'll probably be uh proven wrong, but

1185
01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:17,200
Speaker 1: this is about as ugly as it gets. You managed

1186
01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:19,360
Speaker 1: to stop the Ravens on the ground. I mean, that

1187
01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:21,040
Speaker 1: was the thing. That's the thing that stands out to

1188
01:02:21,080 --> 01:02:23,240
Speaker 1: me just looking at it. This was the worst game,

1189
01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:26,600
Speaker 1: um that the Ravens have had rushing the ball, I

1190
01:02:26,680 --> 01:02:29,479
Speaker 1: think since Lamar Jackson took over as quarterback. Definitely worse

1191
01:02:29,520 --> 01:02:32,440
Speaker 1: than any game they had in all of nineteen, So

1192
01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:36,000
Speaker 1: actually it didn't quite. Even though the score looks familiar,

1193
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:39,200
Speaker 1: just the way that they got there is different. I'm

1194
01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:41,000
Speaker 1: not and I would just say that, like you don't

1195
01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:45,800
Speaker 1: come away thinking, um deep concerns over Baltimore's ground game.

1196
01:02:45,880 --> 01:02:47,480
Speaker 1: I think that just the way the game played out

1197
01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:49,840
Speaker 1: a little bit like Mark Andrews was on fire, Lamar

1198
01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:53,240
Speaker 1: Jackson was making great throws and Cleveland's got a banged

1199
01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:56,840
Speaker 1: up secondary and they were victimized for it. It's probably

1200
01:02:56,840 --> 01:02:59,400
Speaker 1: taking what defenses are going to give them, which this year.

1201
01:02:59,760 --> 01:03:01,960
Speaker 1: I'm look, they were trying to stop the Ravens last

1202
01:03:02,040 --> 01:03:04,480
Speaker 1: year the running game, but I think defenses will sell

1203
01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:07,480
Speaker 1: out even more and Lamar is shown he can take

1204
01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:10,560
Speaker 1: advantage of Browns are playing again in four days. Mark,

1205
01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:12,920
Speaker 1: you excited, it's too soon. I don't, like I can

1206
01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:15,520
Speaker 1: I be honest. I just like you know you're working,

1207
01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:17,640
Speaker 1: You're working through a lot of stuff on these sundays,

1208
01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:19,880
Speaker 1: like you know the days of me, like you know,

1209
01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:22,400
Speaker 1: pouting in the corner. It's over. You just gotta move on,

1210
01:03:22,520 --> 01:03:25,160
Speaker 1: like wake me up. When they when they are entertaining,

1211
01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:28,520
Speaker 1: just be entertaining. And they weren't it's a bad football

1212
01:03:28,640 --> 01:03:31,440
Speaker 1: and it's because you played a team that's been entertaining

1213
01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:34,360
Speaker 1: for twenty years and understands what being in the NFL means.

1214
01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:36,720
Speaker 1: I just say you, your football team wants to stand

1215
01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:38,960
Speaker 1: up and kick you in the butt. Stand in line, buddy,

1216
01:03:39,040 --> 01:03:40,960
Speaker 1: wait around the corner for everything else. Kicking us in

1217
01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:43,840
Speaker 1: the butt, right exactly. It mattered a lot less this summer.

1218
01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:49,000
Speaker 1: We'll get away at it all right. I Mark, You're

1219
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:53,280
Speaker 1: not the only fan getting kicked in the butt, so too,

1220
01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:56,439
Speaker 1: we're Jets fans. Alan fire. It's a quick one caught

1221
01:03:56,440 --> 01:03:58,240
Speaker 1: by John Brown. Lowe makes you catch at the ten

1222
01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:02,560
Speaker 1: at the five, cruises into the talk touchdown Buffalo John

1223
01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:06,280
Speaker 1: Brown a seventeen yard touchdown catch from Josh Ammit Steve.

1224
01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:11,640
Speaker 1: That was too easy, man, Come on, John Murphy rubbing

1225
01:04:11,720 --> 01:04:14,960
Speaker 1: salt in the wound up in w g R in

1226
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:17,920
Speaker 1: Western New York. Josh Allen threw for more than three

1227
01:04:18,320 --> 01:04:20,080
Speaker 1: yards for the first time in his career in tally

1228
01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:23,080
Speaker 1: three scores through the air and on the ground and

1229
01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:27,440
Speaker 1: a seventeen win over the Jets in Orchard Park. Alan

1230
01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:30,360
Speaker 1: also lost two fumbles in Jets territory. You missed, John

1231
01:04:30,360 --> 01:04:33,600
Speaker 1: Brown on a gimme touchdown toss. But overall did his

1232
01:04:33,720 --> 01:04:37,280
Speaker 1: job for a Buffalo team that was superior to the

1233
01:04:37,360 --> 01:04:42,200
Speaker 1: Jets in every imaginable way. Um, I don't know. I

1234
01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:45,480
Speaker 1: don't even know, like from a Bills standpoint, how much

1235
01:04:45,520 --> 01:04:49,080
Speaker 1: I could take from this game. Seventeen was not really

1236
01:04:49,240 --> 01:04:51,720
Speaker 1: indicative of what was going on in this game. The

1237
01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:55,960
Speaker 1: Bills kept on kicking themselves, um and tripping on their

1238
01:04:56,000 --> 01:05:00,400
Speaker 1: own feet the Alan turnovers. I mentioned, they missed short

1239
01:05:00,440 --> 01:05:03,560
Speaker 1: field goals even though the first one was probably actually good,

1240
01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:05,760
Speaker 1: but the upright wasn't high enough. Maybe we have to

1241
01:05:05,840 --> 01:05:07,920
Speaker 1: keep sending those things higher to the sky. I don't know,

1242
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:11,160
Speaker 1: but uh so, the Jets were able to kind of

1243
01:05:11,160 --> 01:05:14,200
Speaker 1: hang around James Jamison Crowder caught a wide receiver screen

1244
01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:18,560
Speaker 1: and took it about sixty yards uh to to deliver

1245
01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:21,040
Speaker 1: most of the Jets offense. So this game could have

1246
01:05:21,080 --> 01:05:24,120
Speaker 1: easily been twenty or thirty five, twenty or thirty points

1247
01:05:24,560 --> 01:05:27,200
Speaker 1: uh separating it. So I guess it's a moral victory

1248
01:05:27,240 --> 01:05:30,200
Speaker 1: for the Jets. But for the Bills. You're better than

1249
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:32,160
Speaker 1: the Jets, that's all I know. You're much better than

1250
01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:34,760
Speaker 1: the Jets. But there was enough kind of negative stuff

1251
01:05:34,800 --> 01:05:36,560
Speaker 1: in this game too, where I want to see them

1252
01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:40,440
Speaker 1: against uh a better opponent. And as for the Jets,

1253
01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:44,600
Speaker 1: it's just a mess. And and I'll say that, um,

1254
01:05:44,680 --> 01:05:46,880
Speaker 1: Sam Donald and we've heard it at nausea at this

1255
01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:50,160
Speaker 1: point has a bad situation and potentially like the worst

1256
01:05:50,160 --> 01:05:53,360
Speaker 1: head coach in the league. But he's got to play better.

1257
01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:55,920
Speaker 1: He did not play well in this game, and he

1258
01:05:55,960 --> 01:06:00,200
Speaker 1: didn't look comfortable. We we read the fluff pieces in

1259
01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:03,120
Speaker 1: the during the summer about how he was in year

1260
01:06:03,120 --> 01:06:06,480
Speaker 1: two of Gays's system and he was processing things quicker

1261
01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:09,160
Speaker 1: and looking more comfortable. He didn't look more comfortable against

1262
01:06:09,200 --> 01:06:12,200
Speaker 1: the Bills. Granted it's a tough challenge uh in Buffalo,

1263
01:06:12,320 --> 01:06:14,840
Speaker 1: but he didn't look more comfortable. He missed guys that

1264
01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:17,680
Speaker 1: were open. He made some bone headed plays, the kind

1265
01:06:17,680 --> 01:06:20,480
Speaker 1: of stuff that now in the year three needs to

1266
01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:23,360
Speaker 1: start to go away. So again, small sample size, week

1267
01:06:23,440 --> 01:06:25,800
Speaker 1: one now is not the time to say, well, he'll

1268
01:06:25,800 --> 01:06:28,600
Speaker 1: never figure it out. But as a Jets fan, you're like, oh,

1269
01:06:28,600 --> 01:06:30,800
Speaker 1: come on, man, a couple of the plays that he made,

1270
01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:34,760
Speaker 1: it's like this can't happen anymore. Uh So, Jets are

1271
01:06:34,760 --> 01:06:37,439
Speaker 1: a mess. Jets are embarrassing. Might be the worst team

1272
01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:39,360
Speaker 1: in the league. Bill is good for you. You want

1273
01:06:39,360 --> 01:06:44,680
Speaker 1: to know, I think the Bills can take away um,

1274
01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:46,760
Speaker 1: just the way you start that game to come out

1275
01:06:46,800 --> 01:06:50,120
Speaker 1: and just you know, exert your will on another NFL

1276
01:06:50,160 --> 01:06:52,680
Speaker 1: team that feels good. And they're they're they're I'm a

1277
01:06:52,720 --> 01:06:54,880
Speaker 1: little bit more of a favorite that they've been around.

1278
01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:57,800
Speaker 1: They're expected to win this game. They were big favorites.

1279
01:06:58,080 --> 01:07:00,400
Speaker 1: They their defense did a great job against and Jets

1280
01:07:00,480 --> 01:07:03,440
Speaker 1: last year when they played. And you come out and

1281
01:07:03,480 --> 01:07:06,120
Speaker 1: I saw one point. It was nineteen first downs to one,

1282
01:07:06,800 --> 01:07:09,600
Speaker 1: and it's just like, Okay, maybe maybe you let your

1283
01:07:09,640 --> 01:07:11,520
Speaker 1: foot off the gas a little bit, but that's that's

1284
01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:13,520
Speaker 1: all you can hope to accomplish. I think in week

1285
01:07:13,560 --> 01:07:16,160
Speaker 1: one and you're right, move on, Uh then to a

1286
01:07:16,160 --> 01:07:20,480
Speaker 1: tougher opponent in week two. I mean, Dan, can I

1287
01:07:20,520 --> 01:07:23,720
Speaker 1: ask you about there's been all this hubu about, you know,

1288
01:07:23,800 --> 01:07:26,919
Speaker 1: the Levan Bell Frank Gore. I'm looking at them both

1289
01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:30,640
Speaker 1: with six carries Levy on Bell six carries for fourteen yards,

1290
01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:35,880
Speaker 1: and I'm just what injured I wasn't tracking that one

1291
01:07:35,960 --> 01:07:39,000
Speaker 1: Lean Bell who came into camp in the best shape

1292
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:42,520
Speaker 1: of his life. Goes out wide, splits out wide right

1293
01:07:42,680 --> 01:07:45,520
Speaker 1: and pops his hamstring and then Adam Gaze and the

1294
01:07:45,560 --> 01:07:48,120
Speaker 1: coaching staff leave him in the game. Uh. And it

1295
01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:50,520
Speaker 1: sounds like he furthered injured the hamstring when he came

1296
01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:54,960
Speaker 1: back in and Adam gates. It's actually kind of ironic

1297
01:07:55,040 --> 01:07:59,320
Speaker 1: because over the summer you'll remember um Levan Bell blasting

1298
01:07:59,400 --> 01:08:01,800
Speaker 1: Gaze on social media for saying that he had a

1299
01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:05,680
Speaker 1: hamstring uh injury that he said didn't exist. Well, now

1300
01:08:06,200 --> 01:08:08,640
Speaker 1: the controversy this week will be that he actually did

1301
01:08:08,720 --> 01:08:11,720
Speaker 1: have a hamstring injury, but the coaches didn't recognize it.

1302
01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:15,720
Speaker 1: So that's a fun little bit of subplot for the

1303
01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:18,880
Speaker 1: beat writers to sink their teeth into. So we'll see

1304
01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:21,519
Speaker 1: how long he's out if he misses next week, but

1305
01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:25,639
Speaker 1: who knows. At this point it doesn't matter. I mean,

1306
01:08:25,840 --> 01:08:28,320
Speaker 1: Levy on Bell is probably a progress stopper. Where the

1307
01:08:28,400 --> 01:08:30,679
Speaker 1: Jets are. I'd like to see le Michael p Ryan,

1308
01:08:30,680 --> 01:08:33,519
Speaker 1: who's their third round pick, get an action, get into action,

1309
01:08:33,560 --> 01:08:35,760
Speaker 1: but he too is injured with an ankle uh. So

1310
01:08:35,800 --> 01:08:38,040
Speaker 1: hopefully he'll get back in the game, but there isn't

1311
01:08:38,120 --> 01:08:40,240
Speaker 1: much to be excited about. The only real good news

1312
01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:42,439
Speaker 1: that came out of this and the only thing for

1313
01:08:42,520 --> 01:08:46,040
Speaker 1: the Jets, uh a summer storyline that actually made it

1314
01:08:46,080 --> 01:08:48,400
Speaker 1: from the summer to the game was Marcus May, the

1315
01:08:48,479 --> 01:08:50,800
Speaker 1: safety that the second round pick the same year that

1316
01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:56,880
Speaker 1: Josh at Our what's his name? I forgot Adams was

1317
01:08:57,000 --> 01:08:59,639
Speaker 1: in the same draft as the first round pick. He

1318
01:08:59,680 --> 01:09:03,760
Speaker 1: took Adams role and had five tackles, two sacks, two

1319
01:09:03,760 --> 01:09:07,280
Speaker 1: pass breakups, and a fumble. So that's good. Everything else

1320
01:09:07,320 --> 01:09:10,880
Speaker 1: sent all right, Let's let's get the hell out of

1321
01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:14,280
Speaker 1: this place. It's haunt his hell. He keeps getting dark.

1322
01:09:14,680 --> 01:09:17,680
Speaker 1: It's very twenty twenty. But we started this show and

1323
01:09:17,880 --> 01:09:20,760
Speaker 1: you know, light out, and I was slowly, you know,

1324
01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:22,519
Speaker 1: coming into the dark end to get up and turn

1325
01:09:22,560 --> 01:09:24,880
Speaker 1: on the lights. At one point, yeah, I want to say,

1326
01:09:24,880 --> 01:09:27,519
Speaker 1: there's there, there's nowhere to go but up, But I

1327
01:09:27,520 --> 01:09:30,759
Speaker 1: don't know if I believe that. So let's see step

1328
01:09:30,840 --> 01:09:32,960
Speaker 1: back Trabisky to wind up, throw down the right side

1329
01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:38,560
Speaker 1: from Miller, public shoulder catch, next the gap touchdown, touchdown

1330
01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:42,439
Speaker 1: pairs almost like Thanksgiving Day near the two yard line

1331
01:09:42,439 --> 01:09:45,760
Speaker 1: and over the shoulder, throw'd a beauty by Mitchell Trabisky.

1332
01:09:45,960 --> 01:09:49,880
Speaker 1: Anthony Mother about to get mobbed to the end zone.

1333
01:09:50,560 --> 01:09:54,320
Speaker 1: Did you hear that? It's almost like stunned amazement by

1334
01:09:54,360 --> 01:09:59,640
Speaker 1: Tom Fayer there and Jeff Johnny ac w BBM with

1335
01:09:59,680 --> 01:10:04,080
Speaker 1: the Mitchell Travisky. Yeah you heard that right, Mitch through

1336
01:10:04,120 --> 01:10:07,920
Speaker 1: a perfect twenty seven yard go ahead touchdown past Anthony

1337
01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:12,920
Speaker 1: Miller with play and then Lions rookie DeAndre Swift dropped

1338
01:10:12,920 --> 01:10:16,000
Speaker 1: the would be game winning touchdown in the final seconds

1339
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:18,599
Speaker 1: and the Bears twenty seven three win at Ford Field.

1340
01:10:18,840 --> 01:10:22,599
Speaker 1: Mark it's only dawned on me now today in fact,

1341
01:10:23,080 --> 01:10:25,400
Speaker 1: that you're the Browns fan who decided to make the

1342
01:10:25,479 --> 01:10:29,080
Speaker 1: Lions your secondary team. Why do you do this to yourself?

1343
01:10:30,560 --> 01:10:34,600
Speaker 1: Just exploring new territories of total darkness? Um, yeah, I

1344
01:10:34,600 --> 01:10:36,920
Speaker 1: think a lot of Lions fans. There's there's a group

1345
01:10:36,960 --> 01:10:39,400
Speaker 1: of us that have glombed onto the Lions, and a

1346
01:10:39,400 --> 01:10:43,200
Speaker 1: lot of Lions fans their immediate reaction was, no, don't

1347
01:10:43,200 --> 01:10:45,080
Speaker 1: do this. Number one, we don't want to hear your

1348
01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:48,880
Speaker 1: little national reporter hype trained business because we don't buy

1349
01:10:48,920 --> 01:10:51,400
Speaker 1: into it. And secondly, like, trust me, this won't go

1350
01:10:51,439 --> 01:10:53,360
Speaker 1: well for you. And I mean it was a very

1351
01:10:53,439 --> 01:10:56,880
Speaker 1: Matt Patricia era Lions loss. Like there was just no

1352
01:10:56,960 --> 01:11:00,000
Speaker 1: excuse to lose the game the way they did. Um,

1353
01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:01,920
Speaker 1: it's it's the fact that you can point to one

1354
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:06,040
Speaker 1: team that Mitch Drabinsky has consistently be deviled over and over.

1355
01:11:06,120 --> 01:11:08,320
Speaker 1: It's the Lions. That's not a great resume builder for

1356
01:11:08,320 --> 01:11:11,479
Speaker 1: Patricia either. And you know, it was a tale of

1357
01:11:13,760 --> 01:11:16,760
Speaker 1: right they are I mean right because I don't know

1358
01:11:16,760 --> 01:11:19,280
Speaker 1: what from a Bears angle, like, I think that if

1359
01:11:19,360 --> 01:11:22,880
Speaker 1: you if you pause the game at halftime, you would

1360
01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:25,040
Speaker 1: be thinking everyone is they're going to clean house at

1361
01:11:25,080 --> 01:11:27,320
Speaker 1: some point because it was a tale of two halves.

1362
01:11:27,320 --> 01:11:31,320
Speaker 1: Strabisky was was pretty ineffective in the first half, and

1363
01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:34,519
Speaker 1: you know, you it's a it's a committee of running backs.

1364
01:11:34,560 --> 01:11:37,880
Speaker 1: It's Tarik Cohen, it's Corderrel Patterson, it's David Montgomery, none

1365
01:11:37,920 --> 01:11:41,080
Speaker 1: of them really dominant. What happened in the second half was,

1366
01:11:41,240 --> 01:11:43,920
Speaker 1: you know, first of all, Detroit is banged up at

1367
01:11:43,920 --> 01:11:46,479
Speaker 1: cornerback and they were dealing with injuries. And it showed

1368
01:11:46,760 --> 01:11:49,559
Speaker 1: and Strabisky started caught fire down the stretch, made some

1369
01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:52,760
Speaker 1: big throws. The Anthony Miller throw was beautiful. Um, I

1370
01:11:52,800 --> 01:11:54,439
Speaker 1: give him credit, Like if you look at what he

1371
01:11:54,479 --> 01:11:57,280
Speaker 1: did in the fourth quarter. I believe he was seven

1372
01:11:57,280 --> 01:11:59,800
Speaker 1: for nine with two touchdowns in a raise to twenty

1373
01:11:59,840 --> 01:12:02,920
Speaker 1: three to six deficits. So I think it's a week

1374
01:12:02,960 --> 01:12:05,160
Speaker 1: to week proposition with Mr Bisky. Had a lot of

1375
01:12:05,160 --> 01:12:07,960
Speaker 1: people tweeting at me after a couple of Bears comments

1376
01:12:07,960 --> 01:12:09,680
Speaker 1: like do you bring in folds at halftime? Do you

1377
01:12:09,720 --> 01:12:11,479
Speaker 1: just is it gonna? Are we gonna see him that quickly?

1378
01:12:11,960 --> 01:12:15,080
Speaker 1: You kept that conversation quiet for another week. I don't

1379
01:12:15,120 --> 01:12:17,439
Speaker 1: love this Bears team. Um. I think the defense is

1380
01:12:17,479 --> 01:12:20,160
Speaker 1: maybe a little overrated too. But they made some place

1381
01:12:20,200 --> 01:12:22,760
Speaker 1: down the stretch, and if you're Alliance fan, it's just

1382
01:12:22,800 --> 01:12:25,960
Speaker 1: another one of these games where you do not It

1383
01:12:26,120 --> 01:12:29,719
Speaker 1: just did not did not add up. And Stafford looked

1384
01:12:29,760 --> 01:12:32,840
Speaker 1: pretty good. I mean they had that killer dropped by

1385
01:12:32,880 --> 01:12:35,640
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift in the end zone that hey, Ricky, do

1386
01:12:35,680 --> 01:12:37,559
Speaker 1: we have that the Lions call that because that is

1387
01:12:37,560 --> 01:12:40,640
Speaker 1: one of the worst drops I can remember. That is

1388
01:12:40,680 --> 01:12:46,840
Speaker 1: the game five seconds to Bions from the Bears, sixteen down,

1389
01:12:46,920 --> 01:12:50,960
Speaker 1: four eleven seconds to go. He was gonna work out

1390
01:12:50,960 --> 01:12:56,360
Speaker 1: of the gun. Bears have three men back that Stafford's

1391
01:12:56,360 --> 01:13:05,040
Speaker 1: got it. Three men rush for Chicago Staffords. David DeAndre

1392
01:13:05,320 --> 01:13:08,479
Speaker 1: Swift dropped it. It was a touchdown. In his heads,

1393
01:13:08,720 --> 01:13:16,880
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, oh no, no, Kevin Patra, buddy, you deserve better.

1394
01:13:16,960 --> 01:13:19,760
Speaker 1: There's there's nothing like it was perfect. It was a

1395
01:13:19,920 --> 01:13:24,599
Speaker 1: perfect throw. Stafford spotted his running back with his back

1396
01:13:24,720 --> 01:13:27,519
Speaker 1: to the pylon. He was gonna catch it, fall in

1397
01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:30,679
Speaker 1: for the touchdown. Game over. It would have been four

1398
01:13:30,760 --> 01:13:36,000
Speaker 1: seconds to play there in the lead celebration. Tragedy averted instead.

1399
01:13:36,280 --> 01:13:38,920
Speaker 1: It is the worst stomach punch you could really imagine

1400
01:13:38,960 --> 01:13:41,120
Speaker 1: in a week one game. There is nothing like it

1401
01:13:41,479 --> 01:13:45,280
Speaker 1: in our major team sports, or really any sport, because

1402
01:13:45,439 --> 01:13:48,200
Speaker 1: there's no other regular season that means so much that

1403
01:13:48,360 --> 01:13:52,280
Speaker 1: that that that drop is like it's one sixteenth year season.

1404
01:13:52,320 --> 01:13:54,160
Speaker 1: That could be the difference between getting fired or not.

1405
01:13:54,240 --> 01:13:56,439
Speaker 1: That could be difference playoffs or not. It's certainly the

1406
01:13:56,520 --> 01:13:59,840
Speaker 1: difference of having a miserable week or feeling great that

1407
01:14:00,040 --> 01:14:02,800
Speaker 1: you escaped with a comeback victory. You know, put another

1408
01:14:02,880 --> 01:14:05,760
Speaker 1: game when you come back on Matthew Stafford's uh you

1409
01:14:05,840 --> 01:14:08,519
Speaker 1: know statue, But no like instead, it's like all doom

1410
01:14:08,560 --> 01:14:10,439
Speaker 1: and gloom and you can look at the fact that, oh,

1411
01:14:10,560 --> 01:14:12,920
Speaker 1: by the way, we lost Justin Coleman. Their slot corner.

1412
01:14:13,040 --> 01:14:15,639
Speaker 1: During the game, they lost Desmond Truffont. During the game,

1413
01:14:15,840 --> 01:14:19,000
Speaker 1: Jamie Collins is being a knucklehead again and gets kicked

1414
01:14:19,040 --> 01:14:21,320
Speaker 1: out of the game. Um, you know during it and

1415
01:14:21,400 --> 01:14:24,400
Speaker 1: it's just like Lion's gonna lie in, you know, I

1416
01:14:24,479 --> 01:14:27,960
Speaker 1: guess it's it's just means. It's so meaningful that one drop.

1417
01:14:28,040 --> 01:14:30,240
Speaker 1: It's just crazy. There's no other sport quite like that.

1418
01:14:31,280 --> 01:14:33,200
Speaker 1: How do you sleep if if you're a rookie like

1419
01:14:33,240 --> 01:14:35,519
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift, how do you sleep tonight? I don't know

1420
01:14:35,600 --> 01:14:39,280
Speaker 1: if it's possible you have to wipe team has a

1421
01:14:39,360 --> 01:14:42,400
Speaker 1: better chance to be relevant, Like on Thanksgiving, I think

1422
01:14:42,439 --> 01:14:44,760
Speaker 1: the Lions while they play on Thanksgiving, but yeah, the

1423
01:14:44,840 --> 01:14:49,519
Speaker 1: Lions so like you, especially on Thanksgiving, I still think

1424
01:14:49,600 --> 01:14:52,080
Speaker 1: the Lions, Like I don't know, maybe I'm just a

1425
01:14:52,200 --> 01:14:55,160
Speaker 1: blind idiot at this point, but I just feel like

1426
01:14:55,479 --> 01:15:00,360
Speaker 1: they have something. But it's never Holiday today too. Well, Yeah,

1427
01:15:00,400 --> 01:15:03,519
Speaker 1: here's the problem, because DeAndre Swift has been hurt for weeks,

1428
01:15:03,680 --> 01:15:06,519
Speaker 1: like and and and you know you can't trust carry

1429
01:15:06,560 --> 01:15:09,400
Speaker 1: On Johnson. It was Adrian Peterson had like ninety three

1430
01:15:09,479 --> 01:15:11,960
Speaker 1: yards and ran pretty well, and it's like suddenly you're

1431
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:15,479
Speaker 1: the team featuring Adrian Peterson at running back, which is

1432
01:15:15,520 --> 01:15:17,120
Speaker 1: not a bad thing, but it was not their plan.

1433
01:15:18,080 --> 01:15:20,760
Speaker 1: I also, I don't I I saw a tweet some

1434
01:15:21,320 --> 01:15:25,120
Speaker 1: questionable Matt Patricia decisions down the stretch that that haunt

1435
01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:27,680
Speaker 1: them and that's all These guys come back and things

1436
01:15:27,720 --> 01:15:31,160
Speaker 1: can get better. But Patricia is your coach. It's just

1437
01:15:31,360 --> 01:15:33,760
Speaker 1: this feels like, I mean, no one was complaining when

1438
01:15:33,800 --> 01:15:35,600
Speaker 1: he was like, you know, guy with pencil behind his

1439
01:15:35,680 --> 01:15:38,840
Speaker 1: year winning Patriots Super Bowl rings. But um, you know,

1440
01:15:38,920 --> 01:15:41,000
Speaker 1: there's a whole different deal here, and the Lions just

1441
01:15:41,040 --> 01:15:44,880
Speaker 1: don't seem to have changed or grown that much. There's

1442
01:15:44,880 --> 01:15:46,800
Speaker 1: a little bit of complaining one year when they came

1443
01:15:46,840 --> 01:15:49,200
Speaker 1: in thirty first and yards allowed and they still made

1444
01:15:49,240 --> 01:15:52,960
Speaker 1: it to the super Bowl. Because I'm a miserable bastard

1445
01:15:53,160 --> 01:15:55,959
Speaker 1: and my team's terrible. I want to I want more sadness.

1446
01:15:56,840 --> 01:16:00,320
Speaker 1: I meant to hear the Randy bullocks sad all out

1447
01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:05,720
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati. Let's hear that too, Ricky. The snap is good,

1448
01:16:05,800 --> 01:16:10,800
Speaker 1: the kick is wide right. He knows that the Chargers

1449
01:16:10,880 --> 01:16:13,840
Speaker 1: hold onto the lead with two seconds to go, and

1450
01:16:14,000 --> 01:16:17,599
Speaker 1: Polk is hurt. If I can't be happy, no one

1451
01:16:17,720 --> 01:16:22,559
Speaker 1: can look It is hurt. I don't mean cramps. West

1452
01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:27,479
Speaker 1: Bullock had cramps like before, the kid never happened to

1453
01:16:27,560 --> 01:16:30,120
Speaker 1: him before. He said, it never happened Bright when the

1454
01:16:30,200 --> 01:16:35,400
Speaker 1: kick was about to happen, Randy Bullock got cramps. Well,

1455
01:16:35,479 --> 01:16:39,559
Speaker 1: cramps are are quite often. Um you know, nerves nerve

1456
01:16:39,640 --> 01:16:41,800
Speaker 1: related like you're nervous and you can get cramps. It

1457
01:16:41,880 --> 01:16:44,280
Speaker 1: can it can absolutely be something that's mental. So that

1458
01:16:44,360 --> 01:16:47,400
Speaker 1: doesn't that doesn't make you feel better as a as

1459
01:16:47,439 --> 01:16:52,639
Speaker 1: a Bengals fan. Jeez, all right, let's keep moving. Here's

1460
01:16:52,640 --> 01:16:55,200
Speaker 1: the fullback and the Raiders. Hitty, I'm not sure he

1461
01:16:55,280 --> 01:16:58,200
Speaker 1: got it. I'm got sure he got it. Raiders were ready.

1462
01:16:58,360 --> 01:17:05,200
Speaker 1: Alex Areva, what the you know? Fred Musburger with the

1463
01:17:05,280 --> 01:17:08,479
Speaker 1: call there k r LV. Joe Brady is the new

1464
01:17:08,560 --> 01:17:12,840
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator in Carolina. He calls a handoff to full

1465
01:17:12,920 --> 01:17:16,760
Speaker 1: back Alex Armant on fourth and inches in midfield. He

1466
01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:20,320
Speaker 1: stopped at the line with one eleven to play. It's

1467
01:17:20,360 --> 01:17:22,080
Speaker 1: the play of the game and the Raiders hold on

1468
01:17:22,240 --> 01:17:27,880
Speaker 1: for a win over the Panthers and Charlotte Greg Who

1469
01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:30,479
Speaker 1: the hell is Alex Armand and why the hell is

1470
01:17:30,560 --> 01:17:33,920
Speaker 1: it Christian McCaffrey getting the ball in that's it was

1471
01:17:33,960 --> 01:17:37,200
Speaker 1: a tough one too, because he just felt like neither

1472
01:17:37,320 --> 01:17:39,639
Speaker 1: one of these defenses could stop the other. I kind

1473
01:17:39,680 --> 01:17:41,800
Speaker 1: of felt, whoever's going to get the ball last is

1474
01:17:41,800 --> 01:17:45,120
Speaker 1: gonna win. The Panthers just got the ball back after

1475
01:17:45,400 --> 01:17:48,560
Speaker 1: after Derek Carr brought the Raiders up the field to

1476
01:17:48,640 --> 01:17:50,800
Speaker 1: take the lead back. I mean, this was a fun

1477
01:17:51,160 --> 01:17:53,800
Speaker 1: offensive game. You didn't know what was gonna happen. I

1478
01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:56,120
Speaker 1: think it's a fun one to fire up on game pass.

1479
01:17:56,240 --> 01:17:57,840
Speaker 1: There were not a lot of stops. I think there

1480
01:17:57,880 --> 01:18:01,280
Speaker 1: were twelve scoring drive six stops. Both teams looked very

1481
01:18:01,360 --> 01:18:05,559
Speaker 1: well coached on offense um and I just didn't expect

1482
01:18:05,640 --> 01:18:07,479
Speaker 1: a defensive player to make the play of the game.

1483
01:18:07,479 --> 01:18:10,120
Speaker 1: In this case it was Cleveland Ferrell and the way

1484
01:18:10,280 --> 01:18:13,880
Speaker 1: McCaffrey was playing, the way Teddy especially was playing, just

1485
01:18:14,040 --> 01:18:16,040
Speaker 1: in terms of his movement. Man, you put him on

1486
01:18:16,160 --> 01:18:18,519
Speaker 1: the move and it just gives a lot of problems

1487
01:18:18,600 --> 01:18:21,000
Speaker 1: I think for the Raiders defense. Teddy it wasn't a

1488
01:18:21,080 --> 01:18:22,920
Speaker 1: perfect game, but I think his arm looked pretty good

1489
01:18:23,000 --> 01:18:24,560
Speaker 1: and he and he moved while and he made some

1490
01:18:24,680 --> 01:18:28,200
Speaker 1: plays Creek creatively so that the play call was it

1491
01:18:28,360 --> 01:18:30,840
Speaker 1: was wild and it was such a just kind of

1492
01:18:30,920 --> 01:18:34,080
Speaker 1: like a wet fart ending to uh what was otherwise

1493
01:18:34,120 --> 01:18:36,800
Speaker 1: a really exciting game. I think both teams have some

1494
01:18:36,880 --> 01:18:40,760
Speaker 1: good things to feel feel after this. Yeah, it's just

1495
01:18:40,920 --> 01:18:47,680
Speaker 1: like dream for in week one specifically wherever you're not.

1496
01:18:47,920 --> 01:18:51,960
Speaker 1: I mean, the the Raiders, you know, lost Trent Brown early,

1497
01:18:52,200 --> 01:18:54,800
Speaker 1: so that's a big, big problem for them, their left tackle.

1498
01:18:54,880 --> 01:18:58,080
Speaker 1: And then they lost Sam Young who replaced them right

1499
01:18:58,120 --> 01:19:02,720
Speaker 1: after that, so they're on a third stringer, and and

1500
01:19:02,840 --> 01:19:04,760
Speaker 1: they still went up and down the field like kind

1501
01:19:04,800 --> 01:19:08,880
Speaker 1: of just steamrolling. Um. I think the Panthers with their size,

1502
01:19:08,960 --> 01:19:11,599
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs looks so good. He just dominated the ball,

1503
01:19:11,840 --> 01:19:15,040
Speaker 1: and their offense looked like a good when it did

1504
01:19:15,120 --> 01:19:18,280
Speaker 1: when it was really singing last year. And uh, they

1505
01:19:18,360 --> 01:19:20,479
Speaker 1: did enough to win, but it very easily could have

1506
01:19:20,520 --> 01:19:22,519
Speaker 1: been a bad rate. If this the Raiders defense is

1507
01:19:22,600 --> 01:19:24,320
Speaker 1: this bad old year, it's not gonna matter. They're gonna

1508
01:19:24,360 --> 01:19:25,920
Speaker 1: have a similar year to the year they had a

1509
01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:28,720
Speaker 1: year ago. I mean, John Gruden compared Josh Jacobs to

1510
01:19:28,760 --> 01:19:32,120
Speaker 1: Walter payton Um for his performance today and the fact

1511
01:19:32,200 --> 01:19:34,160
Speaker 1: that he simply refused to come off the field and

1512
01:19:34,240 --> 01:19:36,680
Speaker 1: wanted the whole game put on his back. So I

1513
01:19:36,760 --> 01:19:40,080
Speaker 1: mean that you have these pieces that give you a

1514
01:19:40,160 --> 01:19:42,280
Speaker 1: lot of hope for in Las Vegas, and I will,

1515
01:19:42,360 --> 01:19:44,840
Speaker 1: I will say that Joe Brady, I mean, is one

1516
01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:48,160
Speaker 1: of the more respected coaches around, and I know he's

1517
01:19:48,200 --> 01:19:50,559
Speaker 1: new to the NFL, but like he did incredible stuff

1518
01:19:50,600 --> 01:19:52,640
Speaker 1: in l s U and got well. I know, but

1519
01:19:52,680 --> 01:19:55,439
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be this one play. But I think,

1520
01:19:55,560 --> 01:19:58,639
Speaker 1: like Carolina coming down and doing what they did on offense,

1521
01:19:59,280 --> 01:20:02,639
Speaker 1: it's gotta be one of the better surprises of the day. Yeah,

1522
01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:07,240
Speaker 1: but the thing, I kept the thing, But don't we

1523
01:20:07,280 --> 01:20:09,280
Speaker 1: can't just shift in the talking head thing where like

1524
01:20:09,360 --> 01:20:13,240
Speaker 1: we we were right off this very talented play. Good day.

1525
01:20:14,040 --> 01:20:16,840
Speaker 1: No Mark's career is over. I'm sorry. Well I didn't

1526
01:20:16,840 --> 01:20:19,599
Speaker 1: realize you decide that, But I will, I will get

1527
01:20:19,640 --> 01:20:25,280
Speaker 1: out of the way. Alex Armoir. By the way, Alex

1528
01:20:25,400 --> 01:20:28,080
Speaker 1: Armore probably like could would beat you in half of

1529
01:20:28,200 --> 01:20:30,200
Speaker 1: one instant into like an arm wrestling match and your

1530
01:20:30,280 --> 01:20:32,400
Speaker 1: arm would be come off with it. Well, he's definitely strong.

1531
01:20:32,479 --> 01:20:36,680
Speaker 1: There's a fullback just the want to you know, you're right,

1532
01:20:37,200 --> 01:20:39,880
Speaker 1: Mark to your point to give your boy Matt rule

1533
01:20:40,040 --> 01:20:42,560
Speaker 1: and his boy Joe Brady some love. That was my

1534
01:20:42,800 --> 01:20:45,519
Speaker 1: takeaway throughout the game was, Wow, this this team looks

1535
01:20:45,560 --> 01:20:48,559
Speaker 1: like it's been together for a while. It's not like, hey,

1536
01:20:48,720 --> 01:20:50,479
Speaker 1: we need a while to warm up. They looked like

1537
01:20:50,560 --> 01:20:56,000
Speaker 1: a very professional offense. Um. They they exposed some bad

1538
01:20:56,120 --> 01:20:59,439
Speaker 1: secondary play for the Raiders, but everything looked like it

1539
01:20:59,560 --> 01:21:02,160
Speaker 1: was on I'm you know, they used more and Samuel

1540
01:21:02,160 --> 01:21:05,679
Speaker 1: and Robby Anderson like. It looked like a frisky, fun offensive.

1541
01:21:05,760 --> 01:21:10,200
Speaker 1: We we kind of hoped it with don't up teddy there, West,

1542
01:21:10,320 --> 01:21:14,080
Speaker 1: you know, maybe Brady can get a job. Maybe one

1543
01:21:14,080 --> 01:21:20,360
Speaker 1: of those development leagues could have been the Jets. So see,

1544
01:21:24,120 --> 01:21:26,599
Speaker 1: go ahead, West, give us a salient football point before

1545
01:21:26,640 --> 01:21:31,000
Speaker 1: we move on to Sunday Night football. All right, fair enough,

1546
01:21:31,040 --> 01:21:38,599
Speaker 1: what it was to Sunday Night Football? Brush Scott going

1547
01:21:38,840 --> 01:21:43,799
Speaker 1: deep and it's gonna be caught. Michael Galla Beach ramsay

1548
01:21:43,960 --> 01:21:49,320
Speaker 1: that he flagg Is down pass interference offense number turn

1549
01:21:49,400 --> 01:22:00,920
Speaker 1: you our penalty. Oh we're back, never too late, Wake up, come, come,

1550
01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:13,519
Speaker 1: come come. Oh. Michael Gallop almost the hero. No he's

1551
01:22:13,560 --> 01:22:16,120
Speaker 1: not a zero, but he did get an offensive past

1552
01:22:16,120 --> 01:22:20,600
Speaker 1: an appearance call with Jalen Ramsey and coverage and it

1553
01:22:20,720 --> 01:22:23,759
Speaker 1: basically buried the Cowboys and their Sunday night football opener,

1554
01:22:24,439 --> 01:22:29,320
Speaker 1: allowing the Rams to escape with a win in the

1555
01:22:29,439 --> 01:22:37,800
Speaker 1: opening of so Fig Stadium or Park. Wow, great start

1556
01:22:37,880 --> 01:22:44,200
Speaker 1: for the Rams. Greg Rosenthal, who really played a solid, strong,

1557
01:22:44,439 --> 01:22:48,679
Speaker 1: fundamentally um with it game right out of the gate.

1558
01:22:49,600 --> 01:22:51,640
Speaker 1: I gotta feel be feeling very good if you're a

1559
01:22:51,720 --> 01:22:55,000
Speaker 1: Rams fan right about now. Yeah. My uh, my daughter

1560
01:22:55,080 --> 01:22:56,960
Speaker 1: Eli is gonna be excited when she wakes up and

1561
01:22:57,040 --> 01:22:59,320
Speaker 1: finds out this final score. Because they looked like the

1562
01:22:59,400 --> 01:23:02,280
Speaker 1: old Rams in the sense that their coaches. I think

1563
01:23:02,320 --> 01:23:04,880
Speaker 1: we're giving them a big time advantage. Like a lot

1564
01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:06,840
Speaker 1: of the players that worked for them in the first

1565
01:23:06,880 --> 01:23:11,120
Speaker 1: half were screens, were quick throws by Jared Goff, were

1566
01:23:11,240 --> 01:23:15,240
Speaker 1: plays where like they basically we're putting the receiver on

1567
01:23:15,320 --> 01:23:20,479
Speaker 1: a platter for golf. And the defensive changes with Brandon Staley,

1568
01:23:20,479 --> 01:23:22,679
Speaker 1: who didn't get a lot of attention this offseason taking

1569
01:23:22,720 --> 01:23:24,640
Speaker 1: over for Wade Phillips, seemed to make a pretty big

1570
01:23:24,680 --> 01:23:27,880
Speaker 1: difference to uh down the stretch. The fact that they've

1571
01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:30,160
Speaker 1: let their defense go try to win the game instead

1572
01:23:30,160 --> 01:23:32,480
Speaker 1: of going for it on fourth down. Thought that was questionable,

1573
01:23:33,080 --> 01:23:36,840
Speaker 1: but that call bailed them out. I don't know I

1574
01:23:37,400 --> 01:23:39,640
Speaker 1: I come out of this game. I remember it was

1575
01:23:39,720 --> 01:23:41,880
Speaker 1: about a year ago at the end of September when

1576
01:23:42,600 --> 01:23:46,680
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore was shot to the leaderboard, uh you know,

1577
01:23:46,840 --> 01:23:49,760
Speaker 1: position for assistant coach of the year type roles. And

1578
01:23:49,920 --> 01:23:52,320
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on with Kellen Moore right now,

1579
01:23:52,400 --> 01:23:57,479
Speaker 1: but there was a sequence in the fourth quarter. It's seen.

1580
01:23:58,360 --> 01:24:00,479
Speaker 1: It is third and six at the l A fourteen.

1581
01:24:00,560 --> 01:24:02,800
Speaker 1: They run Zeke up the middle for three yards. Okay,

1582
01:24:02,840 --> 01:24:05,759
Speaker 1: it's fourth and three from the l A eleven. Ceedee

1583
01:24:05,840 --> 01:24:08,320
Speaker 1: Lamb catches that pass, he's tackled short of the sticks.

1584
01:24:09,600 --> 01:24:12,479
Speaker 1: Drive over. Do you not kick the field goal there?

1585
01:24:12,560 --> 01:24:16,000
Speaker 1: I appreciate it, you have to. I think that they

1586
01:24:16,160 --> 01:24:19,600
Speaker 1: never really recovered from that in a game. Some in

1587
01:24:19,760 --> 01:24:22,160
Speaker 1: some games, the pace of the game, the way that

1588
01:24:22,240 --> 01:24:24,719
Speaker 1: it was forming itself, you'd say, no, we're gonna be aggressive,

1589
01:24:24,760 --> 01:24:28,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna go for it. Not this game. I had

1590
01:24:28,080 --> 01:24:31,439
Speaker 1: a big problem with that. If it's thirty one in

1591
01:24:31,560 --> 01:24:35,840
Speaker 1: that spot, sure go for it. But that game, that

1592
01:24:35,960 --> 01:24:38,320
Speaker 1: was a tight, closely fought game. And I'm not that

1593
01:24:38,439 --> 01:24:41,519
Speaker 1: worried about Dallas because I really do think the Rams

1594
01:24:41,560 --> 01:24:45,280
Speaker 1: played excellent football on both sides, um, and they were

1595
01:24:45,320 --> 01:24:47,560
Speaker 1: in their building and all that, but yeah, I was

1596
01:24:47,640 --> 01:24:49,519
Speaker 1: really surprised they went for it. That is kind of

1597
01:24:49,600 --> 01:24:52,559
Speaker 1: the new age of football now that you're the odds

1598
01:24:52,600 --> 01:24:54,880
Speaker 1: say going for it on fourth down is something that's

1599
01:24:54,880 --> 01:24:57,000
Speaker 1: gonna pay off more than it's not. But in that spot,

1600
01:24:57,080 --> 01:24:58,920
Speaker 1: when you had a chance to tie it up at twenty,

1601
01:24:59,320 --> 01:25:03,200
Speaker 1: that really prized me. And it was just really a tough,

1602
01:25:03,360 --> 01:25:06,960
Speaker 1: tough night for the Dallas offense. They had uh three

1603
01:25:07,080 --> 01:25:10,960
Speaker 1: points on six drives in the second half, and that comes.

1604
01:25:11,040 --> 01:25:13,640
Speaker 1: I think we kind of predicted this back on the

1605
01:25:13,800 --> 01:25:16,160
Speaker 1: preview show, like just White and Watch after all this

1606
01:25:16,240 --> 01:25:19,439
Speaker 1: breathless hype about the Cowboys offense, that they go and

1607
01:25:19,560 --> 01:25:22,040
Speaker 1: lay an a egg. I think I said thirteen points.

1608
01:25:22,080 --> 01:25:26,320
Speaker 1: They score seventeen. That's not good enough. I liked. I

1609
01:25:26,479 --> 01:25:28,840
Speaker 1: like the way Zeke Elliott ran the ball. I still

1610
01:25:28,920 --> 01:25:32,120
Speaker 1: think they have awesome weapons, uh Jalen Ramsey and the

1611
01:25:32,240 --> 01:25:35,600
Speaker 1: Rams defense played excellent and I think they'll recover. But

1612
01:25:35,680 --> 01:25:37,400
Speaker 1: this is kind of a bitter way to start the season.

1613
01:25:37,479 --> 01:25:39,439
Speaker 1: And Greg, to the point that you've made a lot,

1614
01:25:39,720 --> 01:25:42,280
Speaker 1: it's like here we go again with the Cowboys. All

1615
01:25:42,320 --> 01:25:46,600
Speaker 1: the hype and then a big another wet fart I

1616
01:25:46,800 --> 01:25:48,960
Speaker 1: I am worried about. I mean, I don't know what

1617
01:25:49,080 --> 01:25:51,000
Speaker 1: team had a worst Week one. They just lost their

1618
01:25:51,040 --> 01:25:53,920
Speaker 1: tight end, Blake Darwin, who they loved for the season

1619
01:25:54,000 --> 01:25:56,000
Speaker 1: with the Torneys Mark and I could give you two teams.

1620
01:25:56,560 --> 01:26:00,400
Speaker 1: There's a couple to pick but there, that's there. But

1621
01:26:00,520 --> 01:26:04,479
Speaker 1: they didn't lose two key starters, two massive injuries. Late

1622
01:26:04,560 --> 01:26:07,800
Speaker 1: In vander else vander Ish also broke his collar bone.

1623
01:26:08,080 --> 01:26:09,920
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of stuff where you talk about,

1624
01:26:10,720 --> 01:26:13,160
Speaker 1: you know, okay, it's only week one, Well that's not

1625
01:26:13,280 --> 01:26:15,280
Speaker 1: just the only week one. I don't know when late

1626
01:26:15,320 --> 01:26:18,080
Speaker 1: In Vanderesh now it's going on a few years where

1627
01:26:18,080 --> 01:26:20,439
Speaker 1: he has these neck injuries, collar bones a little different.

1628
01:26:20,479 --> 01:26:22,840
Speaker 1: We don't know how long that's gonna be. Jarwin is

1629
01:26:22,840 --> 01:26:25,080
Speaker 1: a huge loss. And you're only as good sometimes as

1630
01:26:25,120 --> 01:26:28,240
Speaker 1: your worst starter. And they had an undrafted rookie Terrence

1631
01:26:28,240 --> 01:26:31,360
Speaker 1: Steele playing right tackle. He's he's scheduled to start the

1632
01:26:31,439 --> 01:26:33,720
Speaker 1: next few weeks too, because they're missing Lyle Collins at

1633
01:26:33,800 --> 01:26:36,040
Speaker 1: right tackle, and at the end of the game, that's

1634
01:26:36,040 --> 01:26:39,120
Speaker 1: who the Rams were targeting. And yeah, the Cowboys are

1635
01:26:39,160 --> 01:26:42,000
Speaker 1: talented enough to like get over it. But when you're

1636
01:26:42,040 --> 01:26:44,800
Speaker 1: coming in with all these things to be excited about,

1637
01:26:44,880 --> 01:26:48,160
Speaker 1: that that is a pretty big letdown of a week one,

1638
01:26:48,240 --> 01:26:51,639
Speaker 1: and those injuries are something you can't really get back.

1639
01:26:52,240 --> 01:26:54,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I think Dallas lost to a

1640
01:26:54,360 --> 01:26:57,000
Speaker 1: playoff team. So I you know, I don't want to

1641
01:26:57,360 --> 01:27:01,400
Speaker 1: hit the panic button there, but it's just disappointing. And UM,

1642
01:27:01,760 --> 01:27:05,360
Speaker 1: I will say one positive. I think Alden Smith, who

1643
01:27:05,439 --> 01:27:07,760
Speaker 1: I was looking back, I wrote, m a a t

1644
01:27:08,000 --> 01:27:10,560
Speaker 1: N tape study film a t N film room. I

1645
01:27:10,600 --> 01:27:13,719
Speaker 1: don't even remember this being a series in two thousand twelve,

1646
01:27:14,400 --> 01:27:17,360
Speaker 1: Um talking about how you know right that he just

1647
01:27:17,479 --> 01:27:20,439
Speaker 1: looked like this next version of like Charles Haley or something,

1648
01:27:20,800 --> 01:27:23,400
Speaker 1: and he's barely played for the past half decade and

1649
01:27:23,479 --> 01:27:25,800
Speaker 1: he comes in tonight, and I thought there were a

1650
01:27:25,840 --> 01:27:28,000
Speaker 1: couple of moments where you thought, this feels like, I

1651
01:27:28,040 --> 01:27:31,000
Speaker 1: know what's gonna go to Alex Smith? But Alden Smith

1652
01:27:31,120 --> 01:27:33,080
Speaker 1: looks like a comeback Player of the Year type guy

1653
01:27:33,160 --> 01:27:39,280
Speaker 1: to me. Um in his own right, you know, you

1654
01:27:39,400 --> 01:27:42,120
Speaker 1: said the Cowboys lost to a playoff team. You know

1655
01:27:42,240 --> 01:27:44,559
Speaker 1: that's new If that's how people are gonna be gonna

1656
01:27:44,680 --> 01:27:48,680
Speaker 1: calling and treating the Rams division going into this year. Well,

1657
01:27:48,920 --> 01:27:51,720
Speaker 1: they just have a good right now. It seems better

1658
01:27:51,760 --> 01:27:53,479
Speaker 1: than last year for the Rams. They seem to have

1659
01:27:53,680 --> 01:27:57,400
Speaker 1: fed some fresh before tonight. Before tonight, that was not

1660
01:27:57,560 --> 01:28:01,880
Speaker 1: the general vibe. And I think that this game really

1661
01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:05,960
Speaker 1: does quickly change the narrative around them, because this they

1662
01:28:06,040 --> 01:28:09,559
Speaker 1: looked refreshed, They looked re energized. I know West had

1663
01:28:10,600 --> 01:28:12,800
Speaker 1: been made a point this summer to talk about how

1664
01:28:12,880 --> 01:28:15,960
Speaker 1: he was interested to see how Sean McVeigh operated an

1665
01:28:16,040 --> 01:28:19,599
Speaker 1: offense not shackled with a over the hill Todd Gurley,

1666
01:28:20,000 --> 01:28:22,840
Speaker 1: and they were different on offense, and Chris Collinsworth made

1667
01:28:22,920 --> 01:28:27,320
Speaker 1: note of it repeatedly on the NBC telecast, how quickly

1668
01:28:27,680 --> 01:28:29,800
Speaker 1: they were getting the ball out of Jared Goff's hands.

1669
01:28:29,880 --> 01:28:32,719
Speaker 1: That was a issue for them last year, protecting Jared

1670
01:28:32,800 --> 01:28:35,320
Speaker 1: Goff with an older offensive line that was beat up. Well,

1671
01:28:35,360 --> 01:28:38,320
Speaker 1: now the line is in better condition. Rob Havistein's back.

1672
01:28:38,400 --> 01:28:41,559
Speaker 1: Everybody seems to be um on their game right now.

1673
01:28:41,720 --> 01:28:44,320
Speaker 1: On on top of it, McVeigh, because he's a smart coach,

1674
01:28:44,600 --> 01:28:48,120
Speaker 1: is now saying, okay, we know what Jared Goff's weaknesses are.

1675
01:28:48,240 --> 01:28:51,040
Speaker 1: Let's try to get away from those weaknesses as much

1676
01:28:51,080 --> 01:28:53,479
Speaker 1: as we can with with the bootlegs and out of

1677
01:28:53,560 --> 01:28:56,280
Speaker 1: his hands quick with the outs and the screens and

1678
01:28:56,400 --> 01:28:59,160
Speaker 1: the types of passes that weren't really a part of

1679
01:28:59,200 --> 01:29:01,280
Speaker 1: their attack if you years ago when they were bombing

1680
01:29:01,320 --> 01:29:04,600
Speaker 1: down the field with Brandon Cooks and company, so that

1681
01:29:04,840 --> 01:29:07,200
Speaker 1: there was a different looking Rams offense, but it looked good,

1682
01:29:07,280 --> 01:29:09,640
Speaker 1: including the running the running backs. If I played very

1683
01:29:09,680 --> 01:29:14,200
Speaker 1: well in this game. Yeah, and they no, like don't

1684
01:29:14,240 --> 01:29:15,960
Speaker 1: you think that you know less? Sneaed when he came

1685
01:29:15,960 --> 01:29:18,160
Speaker 1: on our show in June or something and we quizzed

1686
01:29:18,200 --> 01:29:20,280
Speaker 1: him about, come on, which one of these guys is

1687
01:29:20,280 --> 01:29:22,679
Speaker 1: gonna be the lead dog. Well, I think it's week

1688
01:29:22,760 --> 01:29:25,280
Speaker 1: to week. And they seem very married to the idea

1689
01:29:25,280 --> 01:29:27,960
Speaker 1: of a committee. There's also a sequence where Jared Goff

1690
01:29:28,000 --> 01:29:32,639
Speaker 1: throws an interception. Um, and that's why that's why I'm

1691
01:29:32,680 --> 01:29:35,240
Speaker 1: not too worried about the Ramsey call being a questionable call,

1692
01:29:35,280 --> 01:29:38,960
Speaker 1: because like that was a turnover where the refs completely

1693
01:29:39,120 --> 01:29:41,559
Speaker 1: missed the call. And so those are two massive calls

1694
01:29:41,600 --> 01:29:43,960
Speaker 1: that both you know, kind of even to other Aldon

1695
01:29:44,040 --> 01:29:46,960
Speaker 1: Smith the afore mentioned all this Smith clawbird golf in

1696
01:29:47,040 --> 01:29:49,519
Speaker 1: the face, which is a ten yard penalty and should

1697
01:29:49,560 --> 01:29:51,760
Speaker 1: have been a first down, right, But yeah, I'm saying

1698
01:29:51,760 --> 01:29:54,400
Speaker 1: that Golf nearly threw a second pick on the following sequence,

1699
01:29:54,400 --> 01:29:56,439
Speaker 1: which we'd be saying, we'd be a little singing a

1700
01:29:56,439 --> 01:29:58,160
Speaker 1: little bit of a different tune for the Rams. But

1701
01:29:58,200 --> 01:30:00,800
Speaker 1: I I'm with you. I think like you wanted to

1702
01:30:00,920 --> 01:30:04,559
Speaker 1: see something. The Rams got stale last year. I don't

1703
01:30:04,560 --> 01:30:05,960
Speaker 1: know how else to put it. They just seemed to

1704
01:30:06,040 --> 01:30:08,759
Speaker 1: run out of gas. And I don't have that feeling

1705
01:30:08,760 --> 01:30:10,840
Speaker 1: about them right now. So yeah, maybe I didn't see

1706
01:30:10,880 --> 01:30:12,439
Speaker 1: them and I didn't pick them as a playoff team,

1707
01:30:12,479 --> 01:30:13,880
Speaker 1: but I think we all we didn't think they were

1708
01:30:13,880 --> 01:30:16,000
Speaker 1: going to go six and ten. They seemed like in

1709
01:30:16,080 --> 01:30:19,360
Speaker 1: the mix and a very high quality start. It was

1710
01:30:19,439 --> 01:30:22,000
Speaker 1: one of the cleaner games on the Los Angeles side

1711
01:30:22,240 --> 01:30:24,639
Speaker 1: of all the football I watched today. They didn't seem

1712
01:30:24,720 --> 01:30:27,360
Speaker 1: to have some of the issues others teams did. Both

1713
01:30:27,400 --> 01:30:29,920
Speaker 1: teams look pretty good, I mean offensively that the Cowboys

1714
01:30:29,960 --> 01:30:31,800
Speaker 1: just couldn't finish. At least in the first half. They

1715
01:30:31,880 --> 01:30:34,160
Speaker 1: looked good enough. I mean Collins were set it. He

1716
01:30:34,320 --> 01:30:37,320
Speaker 1: was stunned at the quality of the teams, and I

1717
01:30:37,479 --> 01:30:42,639
Speaker 1: found that to be true. On balanced today, the quality

1718
01:30:42,680 --> 01:30:46,200
Speaker 1: of play was better. There weren't as many crazy catastrophic injuries,

1719
01:30:46,240 --> 01:30:48,439
Speaker 1: felt like a normal day of injuries. You're gonna have some.

1720
01:30:49,280 --> 01:30:52,519
Speaker 1: Um I'm not saying you don't need a preseason, but

1721
01:30:53,000 --> 01:30:57,080
Speaker 1: you don't like need. Really, you don't like need needed.

1722
01:30:57,400 --> 01:30:59,680
Speaker 1: They need the money and the young wrestle with this

1723
01:30:59,800 --> 01:31:02,639
Speaker 1: more than any person in the entire world. Greg, it's

1724
01:31:02,680 --> 01:31:05,000
Speaker 1: all you think about, whether we need preseason or not.

1725
01:31:05,120 --> 01:31:08,080
Speaker 1: It'll be It'll be um an easier August for us.

1726
01:31:08,240 --> 01:31:12,479
Speaker 1: I'm just uh, I'm just a self side. And while

1727
01:31:12,520 --> 01:31:15,280
Speaker 1: their people will say this sky is falling for the

1728
01:31:15,360 --> 01:31:18,280
Speaker 1: Cowboys and I could already picture of the hot Yackers

1729
01:31:18,880 --> 01:31:22,799
Speaker 1: tomorrow gross uh saying the end is near for Dallas.

1730
01:31:22,880 --> 01:31:25,320
Speaker 1: And yes, Greg, you made a good point that the injuries,

1731
01:31:25,360 --> 01:31:28,120
Speaker 1: it's a bad situation late in vander esh oh Man,

1732
01:31:28,240 --> 01:31:30,599
Speaker 1: he's one of those guys you just cannot stay healthy.

1733
01:31:30,680 --> 01:31:32,680
Speaker 1: But I will say this, I wish I could lock

1734
01:31:32,720 --> 01:31:35,519
Speaker 1: it up. I'd already predicted earlier that I need to

1735
01:31:35,560 --> 01:31:37,639
Speaker 1: go a little more ununy for my week to lock

1736
01:31:38,240 --> 01:31:41,519
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons have something nasty come their way when they

1737
01:31:41,560 --> 01:31:43,960
Speaker 1: come to Dallas a week too. I just put it

1738
01:31:44,040 --> 01:31:46,640
Speaker 1: on the board. That's thirty five points plus for the Cowboys.

1739
01:31:47,200 --> 01:31:50,320
Speaker 1: I I still feel they're gonna be okay, you're probably right.

1740
01:31:50,360 --> 01:31:52,640
Speaker 1: It is ironic though, that they wanted to get rid

1741
01:31:52,680 --> 01:31:55,479
Speaker 1: of Jason Garrett. I mean, I wanted to get rid

1742
01:31:55,520 --> 01:31:58,559
Speaker 1: of Jason Garrett, and you're placing with McCarthy who did

1743
01:31:58,600 --> 01:32:02,040
Speaker 1: the whole you know, um pr campaign. As Mark likes

1744
01:32:02,080 --> 01:32:04,360
Speaker 1: to point out how he's into the analytics now and

1745
01:32:04,600 --> 01:32:07,160
Speaker 1: the fourth down go for it is what got them

1746
01:32:07,200 --> 01:32:09,160
Speaker 1: a little bit here. I don't blame it though. I

1747
01:32:09,240 --> 01:32:11,080
Speaker 1: don't blame them though either. I think they knew they

1748
01:32:11,080 --> 01:32:12,760
Speaker 1: were going for it. That was it was a two

1749
01:32:12,800 --> 01:32:16,519
Speaker 1: place sequence. And I think you also, while you can

1750
01:32:16,680 --> 01:32:18,880
Speaker 1: question him going for it, put it somewhat on the players.

1751
01:32:18,960 --> 01:32:21,559
Speaker 1: There's five or six guys in the box. You're Zeke

1752
01:32:21,600 --> 01:32:23,800
Speaker 1: Elliott and you're the Cowboys and you're their offensive line.

1753
01:32:23,800 --> 01:32:25,960
Speaker 1: You get three yards on a draw that was probably

1754
01:32:25,960 --> 01:32:27,920
Speaker 1: not a bad play call, and then you throw it,

1755
01:32:28,160 --> 01:32:30,400
Speaker 1: you know, you throw it two yards one of these three.

1756
01:32:30,600 --> 01:32:32,559
Speaker 1: So I don't know, just the players didn't do their

1757
01:32:32,640 --> 01:32:35,840
Speaker 1: jobs either. Yeah, but you know this, I know this

1758
01:32:35,960 --> 01:32:38,400
Speaker 1: podcast very well. And Mike McCarthy was in a no

1759
01:32:38,479 --> 01:32:41,880
Speaker 1: win situation if Kellen, if the offense is great, Kellen

1760
01:32:41,920 --> 01:32:44,360
Speaker 1: Moore gets the credit. If the offense thinks, Mike McCarthy

1761
01:32:44,400 --> 01:32:46,120
Speaker 1: gets to blame. That's how this show works. Well, I

1762
01:32:46,160 --> 01:32:48,479
Speaker 1: would say this, though I give Mike McCarthy in general,

1763
01:32:48,600 --> 01:32:50,360
Speaker 1: I would have been ready to jump all over him.

1764
01:32:50,680 --> 01:32:53,719
Speaker 1: He handed the offense over to Kellen Moore when everyone

1765
01:32:53,800 --> 01:32:55,800
Speaker 1: expected him not to do anything close to that, maybe

1766
01:32:55,840 --> 01:32:59,000
Speaker 1: not even retain Kellen Moore. So I'm not here to

1767
01:32:59,080 --> 01:33:03,080
Speaker 1: kill McCarthy. I'd us thought that that sequence just to

1768
01:33:03,200 --> 01:33:06,120
Speaker 1: me felt diabolical. You know, you got to get out

1769
01:33:06,120 --> 01:33:07,800
Speaker 1: of their tie in the game. Come on, I'm with

1770
01:33:07,920 --> 01:33:09,599
Speaker 1: you on that. I'm with you on that. All right.

1771
01:33:10,160 --> 01:33:16,520
Speaker 1: That is the end of the first of many flagship
