The first hour flew by. 9 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 1: If you missed it, I said nice stuff about brock Purty, 10 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:36,880 Speaker 1: So you know we're taking swings here in the Herd 11 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,880 Speaker 1: on a Monday. Matt Hasselbeck is around the corner. Dion 12 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:45,160 Speaker 1: Dawkins today, tonight's Bears Vikings. We're going to get into 13 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:49,240 Speaker 1: that last hour. I like Minnesota tonight without further ado. 14 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,519 Speaker 1: We do it every week at this time. Colin right, 15 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:53,160 Speaker 1: Colin wrong? 16 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 2: Where Colin was right? 17 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,279 Speaker 1: Well, the Kansas City Chiefs regression is clear. I had 18 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 1: said last week, I'd pro take the Chargers. The O 19 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,399 Speaker 1: line issues, the run game, where is it? The wide 20 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,759 Speaker 1: receiver corps was thin going into the game. They couldn't 21 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: get out of their own way. Literally, they're the only 22 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: winless team in their division. I thought Mahomes was amazing, 23 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: But when you watch the Ravens or the Packers or 24 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,919 Speaker 1: the Eagles roster, it's thin. And I said, you can't 25 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 1: keep winning every one score game, even if you have 26 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 1: Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert against Steve 27 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: Spagnola did whatever he wanted to with kind of a 28 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: me mid. 29 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 2: Receiving corps where Colin was raw. 30 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: Listen, he's a statue at this point and got sacked 31 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 1: four times. But I thought Aaron Rodgers was really strong 32 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: in the opener. To his credit, he has said I 33 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: am here for leadership and distribution and elevating others, so 34 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: he knows what he is. Seven of nine in the 35 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: fourth quarter with a couple of touchdowns, and he took shots. 36 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: He took a shot Joe Burrow and him took shots 37 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: this weekend of nine two touchdowns. And again I don't 38 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: love Pittsburgh's offensive line. They don't they don't run the 39 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 1: ball consistently. So I thought Aaron on the road against 40 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn's defense, I thought it. 41 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 2: Was impressive where Colin was right. 42 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: I said it after the Hall of Fame game, Detroit 43 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: does not look right. You can't replace two elite coordinators 44 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: with in house guys and think I'll just be the same. 45 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: It's not the same two point one yards per carry. 46 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:34,679 Speaker 1: They're rebuilding the interior line. Ben Johnson was the sharpest 47 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: coordinator in the game for a couple of years. You 48 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 1: can't just go, well, we got a guy in house 49 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: that can replace him. You can't do that. Their passing 50 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: game coordinator left to the Jets, and Justin Fields looked 51 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 1: pretty good, So I think you can take some things 52 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: even in the preseason. The Lions will not be as 53 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: well coached a football team where Colin was wronged. The 54 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:02,399 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys lost, but I thought Brian Schottenheimer had them 55 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: buttoned up. I thought they were good situationally and the 56 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 1: first half clock management. They had very few penalties. I 57 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: thought they played even keel football with good emotion, not 58 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:16,799 Speaker 1: wild emotion. Dak terrific. They found run lanes. They were 59 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: a drop pass by Ceedee Lamb from winning this football 60 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: game in Philadelphia. The clock management was strong, they didn't 61 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: have penalties. I had my issues with Brian Schottenneimer. There's 62 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: no way you could come out of that game, whether 63 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: you love the Cowboys or hate him, and not be impressed. 64 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 2: I was wrong where Colin was right. 65 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: Well, college football's bumpy for Bill Belichick. He won't let 66 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: the Patriots scout on scouts on the Carolina campus, which 67 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: doesn't make sense. You're only hurting the players. He just 68 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: keeps alienating himself from the NFL. Bill Bill's old school. 69 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: He's very provincial. It's about loyalty to Bill. And you know, 70 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: if you're not loyal to me, you're a bad guy. 71 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: You're against us. That must be exhausting to have that personality. 72 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: But I said, coming into college, he's not a great 73 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: drafter of college kids. Why is he going to be 74 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: a great recruiter of high school kids? He watches even 75 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: less of that. So I was surprised they lost the 76 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 1: way they did, But I'm not surprised he's having struggles. 77 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: Where Colin was wrong. What a done by New England. 78 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 1: Gino Smith was spinning it, the Mike Rables offense and 79 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels. It was cautious, it was slow, it was deliberate. 80 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 1: Now I will say, with all the free agents and 81 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: all the rookies playing, they've got a whole new cast 82 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 1: on this roster. 83 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 2: So they got so. 84 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 1: Many new pieces and starters don't play a lot in 85 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: the preseason. I do think this will be about as 86 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: bad as they play. But Drake may cautious, not a 87 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,479 Speaker 1: lot of juice. I was surprised, how bad, how poor, 88 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: how slow that looked. 89 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 2: Where Colin was right. 90 00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: Well, Miami Dolphins were cooked. I said, two years yars ago, 91 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:04,160 Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel's clever. He can be funny. I think he's 92 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 1: a great offensive mind. But as the leader of men now, 93 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: the Colts are better than people think. Colts have a 94 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: good roster, but you can't have that. You can't have 95 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones going seven for seven on drives. That defense 96 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: did not come to play. After the game, there were 97 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: some concerning quotes from defensive players. Head coach is a CEO, 98 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: it's not just a play caller. I don't doubt Mike 99 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,359 Speaker 1: McDaniel is a great play caller and will get a 100 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,359 Speaker 1: great oc job. But I also don't love the roster. 101 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,239 Speaker 1: When you watch those two teams play, Colts had way 102 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: more good players and it wasn't particularly close. Where Colin 103 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,559 Speaker 1: was right, I said, keep your eye on Tampa rookie 104 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 1: receiver in Mecca Abuka two touchdowns, great route runner, he 105 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: has a chance to be the rookie of the year. 106 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: Every scout, every executive in the league I talked to 107 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,799 Speaker 1: if I said who will surprise people in the first round, 108 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: it was the Ohio State receiver. He got overshadowed because 109 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 1: Ohio State is wide receiver university and they have so 110 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: many amazing stars. This kid, you are looking at a 111 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: guy if he stays healthy. I mean he's a pro 112 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: route running hands, discipline, personality in Mecca Buca, I mean, 113 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield has himself today as a rookie game one, 114 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,119 Speaker 1: a star. Where Colin was right, where Colin was wrong, Well, 115 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: he engineered six playoff appearances with the Seahawks. Matt Hasselbeck 116 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 1: eighteen years is now joining US Live. 117 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, you could add my favorite part of this show 118 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 3: is where Colin was right, where Colin was wrong. I 119 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 3: love it. I love I love when you double down 120 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 3: when you were right, and I kind of like when 121 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 3: you admit when you were wrong. 122 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 4: It's fun. I enjoy it. 123 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,279 Speaker 1: Well, thank you, and I was wrong plenty. I'm going 124 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: to get Let's just get to last night. And I 125 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: said before when Baltimore wins, if I didn't see the game, 126 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: I would suspect Lamar played great, but when Buffalo wins 127 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,359 Speaker 1: a wild game, I would suspect Josh Allen had to 128 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: be otherworldly because I think the Ravens have a better 129 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: roster and more routes to win. I think they're so 130 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: dependent on Josh Allen. But as somebody who got a 131 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: team to a super Bowl, when you watch him doing 132 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: what he does, what the how do you explain Josh 133 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: Allen if I'd never seen him play. 134 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 4: Awesome? 135 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 3: I mean that game was incredible, Listen. I was watching 136 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 3: it last night. I'm like, I met, Wow, this is 137 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 3: an impressive win by Baltimore. 138 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 4: It's amazing. But then in the back of my head, 139 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 4: I'm like, this means. 140 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 3: That Josh Allen can just go cut it loose, put 141 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 3: a cape on, and just play Superman. And that's really 142 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 3: what he did. I mean, like it was just it 143 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 3: was absolutely incredible. And you know it's so boring to say, like, oh, turnovers, 144 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 3: third down, fourth down conversion, but like that was the story. 145 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 4: Of the game. 146 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if we see another epic 147 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 3: matchup against these two teams. And this is what I 148 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 3: would say, Like, you know, a lot of people were 149 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 3: talking about the fact that, well this, this might come 150 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 3: down to a home field advantage thing in the playoffs 151 00:07:58,200 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 3: at some point. 152 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 4: I think there's some guys that are just built different. 153 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 3: Josh Allen's built different, Lamar Jackson's built different. I could 154 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 3: honestly see someone like Lamar Jackson being like, nah, no, 155 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 3: I'd rather go beat them at their place. I'd rather 156 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 3: go back to Buffalo and do it. Yeah, And he's 157 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 3: just got that mindset. I didn't have that mindset. I 158 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 3: would to play playoff games at home, but Lamar I 159 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 3: could just He's there's something special about both these two guys. 160 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 4: And that's why I was such a great game to watch. 161 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 1: It was I said this, and this was not a 162 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: knock on Aaron, But I didn't think the story of 163 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: the game was Aaron. I thought the story of the 164 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: game was the Jets have been looking for their next 165 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 1: quarterback star for years, and I know it's week one 166 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: that was easily the best I've seen justin fields play. 167 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: And Matt, this is something you've taught me and others 168 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 1: is that it wasn't first read stuff. You'd watch his head. 169 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: He would look left, he would look middle, he would 170 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,079 Speaker 1: look right. Let it rip it and be a dart 171 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: like that was quarterback play. Also, you're going up against 172 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: Tomlin TJ. Watt like Pittsburgh plays defense. It was kind 173 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: of job Like. I was like, oh, is he gonna 174 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,199 Speaker 1: be Baker and Gino and Sam? 175 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 2: Like, I don't know. If you're the Jets. 176 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: You wake up this morning, you got to feel pretty 177 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 1: good about that loss, don't you. 178 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,559 Speaker 3: I mean, you gotta be encouraged. I mean until the 179 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 3: night game. That was the game of the week. That 180 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 3: was an incredible game, you. 181 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 4: Know, I said, I sort of felt like. 182 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 3: It was like a high school reunion. You're trying to 183 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 3: impress your old flame kind of a game like the 184 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 3: both quarterbacks were like, man, I got to be my best. 185 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 3: I got to show out my best for you know, 186 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 3: I'm the one that got away like that. 187 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 4: That's what looked like for both quarterbacks. 188 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 3: And I think people rallied around those both quarterbacks, and 189 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 3: I just thought the identity of what both teams are 190 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 3: trying to beat this year showed up. 191 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 4: I thought justin Fields was I think he was good, 192 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 4: not great, but like I think he can be great. 193 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 4: I really do. 194 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 3: And and you know, obviously he's a great runner, but 195 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 3: it's not about that. It's about it's about being a 196 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 3: passer first and then being a threat as a runner 197 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 3: on the flip side. Aaron Rodgers once was great with 198 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 3: his feet and moving around the pocket. That's no longer 199 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 3: his game unless you design it that way. So drop 200 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 3: back pass and then I go scramble, no wway, no okay, 201 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 3: but play action pass and that designed roll out move 202 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 3: the pocket. Aaron Rodgers is as good as there's ever 203 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 3: been with his eyes, his arm, and his head. I 204 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 3: thought that was really good for Pittsburgh. 205 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 1: I know it's a Monday, it's week one, but I 206 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: watched Detroit's offense and people, coordinators matter, they matter. I 207 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 1: mean you I remember Philadelphia lost two great coordinators, hired 208 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 1: two new guys, and like by week ten you're like 209 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 1: they're bad. I watched the Lions. I'm sorry, but Ben 210 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: Johnson was missed, was he not? 211 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 4: Yeah? I mean he's a great coach. 212 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 3: I think maybe one of the best, maybe the best 213 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 3: play caller. 214 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 4: In the game for the last couple of years. 215 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 3: Just so creative, so confident, and so that's not a 216 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 3: knock on the new guys, but like it's gonna take 217 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 3: time to gel and there's a void there. You know, 218 00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 3: you lose maybe your best offensive coach, you know, to 219 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 3: the Bears, and then you maybe lose one of your 220 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 3: other unsung hero offensive coaches to the Jets. That's not nothing, 221 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 3: and that happens. You see great coaches and great assistant coaches. 222 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,439 Speaker 3: That happens in any organization. I think too, like someone 223 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 3: leaves and you realize, oh, oh wow, that person was 224 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 3: a lot more valuable to who we were than we realized. 225 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 3: But like you said, it's week one and they'll have 226 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 3: a time to gell. But I think the story of 227 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 3: that game was just how how amazing the Green Bay 228 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 3: Packers looked they came to play. 229 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting Micah only played about forty forty 230 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 1: five percent of the snaps, And take me to your 231 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: experience in the NFL. There is something about adding a 232 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: great player to a team, and it just it felt 233 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 1: like the Packers' confidence, like their chest was out and 234 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 1: he played forty percent of the snaps. But I don't know, 235 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: it's almost like you go out drinking and you got 236 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: one of the high school wrestlers behind you just in 237 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: case you get a little softy. I thought the Packers 238 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 1: played it was so much confidence defensively. 239 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like Kevin a great closer in baseball, Like, hey, 240 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 3: we got to close, you know, like if it's third 241 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 3: and long, we got it. You know, we're we're gonna 242 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 3: have a game changing play. 243 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 4: We're gonna close the door. We're gonna we're gonna do it. 244 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 4: And I also think I told I told you on Friday. 245 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 3: The unknown for an offense when you're growing, when you're 246 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 3: going up against a great pass rusher and you don't 247 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 3: know where he's gonna line up, You don't know what 248 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 3: down he's going to play on. You don't know like 249 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 3: our whole you know, before you drop any pass plays, 250 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 3: you drop your projection schemes, and a lot of times 251 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 3: you'll say, okay, we're going to slide the line to him, 252 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 3: Well what if he's not even on the field. Now, 253 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 3: what Like we're really gonna slide a bunch of people 254 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 3: to just some random dude. 255 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 4: We don't even know who he is, So. 256 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 3: Like it's a it's I actually, as a quarterback, I 257 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,679 Speaker 3: would rather know where he's gonna be and if he's 258 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 3: gonna be on the field every snap, that would be easier. 259 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 4: So I sort of like I don't know. I feel 260 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 4: the pain of Detroit. I mean, shoot, they were planning 261 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 4: for this game. 262 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 3: My Comparson's not even on the team, and then all 263 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:53,679 Speaker 3: of a sudden he's on the team, and how much 264 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 3: is he even going to play? 265 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 4: It was that that's not a great place to be 266 00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 4: as an offense. 267 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: I said, I have been a little underwhelmed in my 268 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: career with Brock perty I know he's talented, but I 269 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 1: think he's been a tad over hype because he's a 270 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: seventh round pick. I remember in college the knock on 271 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 1: him was he's small and his decision making, you know, 272 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:17,679 Speaker 1: he lets it rip. And I thought yesterday Kittle, Trent Williams, 273 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 1: Jennings out o lines okay on the road Seattle. I 274 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:24,959 Speaker 1: was kind of blown away with him. I don't care 275 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:29,319 Speaker 1: about the picks. I watched him yesterday, Carrie a team 276 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: that's the most impressed I've ever been. I'm serious, I 277 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: was kind of I think that defense for Seattle is fast. 278 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:38,559 Speaker 1: I thought party was great. 279 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 4: Your thoughts, yeah, hey, I can't stop smiling. 280 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 3: Finally I'm showing you the light with Brock Perdy, Christian McCaffrey. 281 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 4: I mean, even it wasn't one hundred percent. 282 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,680 Speaker 3: There were a lot of questions if he was even 283 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 3: going to play rock Perty's unfazed. I'm not sure if 284 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 3: he's ever lost in Seattle. I think it's really impressive 285 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,719 Speaker 3: what he has done. He is otherworldly to me when 286 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,839 Speaker 3: it comes to just like this cool calm collected when 287 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 3: the chaos is around. You know, in quarterbacks room, we 288 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 3: had this saying pretty much everywhere I was be comfortable, 289 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 3: get comfortable being uncomfortable, and like. 290 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 4: That's what I see out of this guy. Listen. He 291 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 4: looks like a high school quarterback. I get it. 292 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 3: But he can make all the throws. He's way more 293 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 3: mobile than people think. His teammates and coaches and general 294 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 3: manager absolutely love him. 295 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 4: They think he's worth every penny. 296 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 3: When I turn on the tape, I think he's really good. 297 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 3: I know people are looking for six five and a 298 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 3: half and all this other stuff and some big college, 299 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 3: but I think he's a really, really good player. 300 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 2: Okay, so listen. 301 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: I do think a lot of the trouble in Miami 302 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: is they is the front office. 303 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 2: I don't like their roster. 304 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: I think they went to perimeter speed, didn't pay attention 305 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: to their offensive line. I think they're you know, they 306 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: move a lot and they're fun, but I don't I 307 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 1: don't want what's the meat in the sandwich for the 308 00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 1: Dolphins or maybe the Colts and Daniel Jo are underrated. 309 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 1: That was embarrassing though, for a week one performance like 310 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: that that you don't see that a lot. I'll never 311 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 1: say quit, but there wasn't a lot of Jews. Who 312 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: do you credit? What do you make of the Dolphins 313 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 1: getting completely blown out at Indy? 314 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I you know, I've heard you mentioned and 315 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 3: I think it's a great point. You know, there's something 316 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 3: to be being a great play caller, but it's not 317 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 3: doesn't necessarily mean you're a great head coach, you're a 318 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 3: great culture seter leader, all that kind of stuff. And 319 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 3: quite honestly, going back to last year, some of the 320 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 3: things that I've seen on the sidelines, some of the 321 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 3: things people say in the locker room, the Tyreek kill thing, 322 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 3: it's it's bad ball like it's I don't. 323 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 4: I don't think it's a winning culture that way. I don't. 324 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 3: Now on the flip side, I think the Colts were 325 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 3: playing for something bigger than themselves. Jim Rsay passing away. 326 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 3: I've played for the Colts for three years. That is 327 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 3: a very family oriented kind of an organization, one heartbeat 328 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 3: kind of thing. It's started way back in the day 329 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 3: with Tony Dungee and those guys. But even when I 330 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 3: was an opponent, I remember when Chuck Pagano was going 331 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 3: through cancer, and as an opponent, I was looking over 332 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 3: to the sidelines and looking at that organization, and I 333 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 3: was saying, you know, there's something unique and special about 334 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 3: what they got going on there, top to bottom, and 335 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 3: it made me actually want to go sign with that organization. 336 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 3: I had respect for it. I think you still see 337 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 3: that Miami has been more fragmented than that. You know, 338 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 3: I'm not saying that's what they always were, but it's 339 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 3: a little bit more fragmented. And I do think that 340 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 3: that shows up on the field. You either pull together 341 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 3: or pull apart in times of adversity. That to me 342 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 3: looked like a team that did not pull together. 343 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 1: Finally, if I suggested to you that the Raiders are 344 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 1: going to be vying for the playoffs, J Mack and 345 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: I have talked about this. Gino with time to throw 346 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: in a run game is very effective in his career. 347 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: His play action numbers are excellent Crosby. I like Jacoby Myers, Brockbauers, 348 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 1: Ashton Gent. I think Colton Miller in their old lines 349 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 1: better than average. I mean, they controlled that game. Gino 350 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 1: was a notch of Drake May. 351 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 2: I don't know. 352 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 1: It's hard, Chip Kelly, Pete Carroll. I don't overreact, Matt. 353 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 1: But it was impressive, was it not. 354 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 3: It's hard not to overreact, but I mean it was 355 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 3: a ten to seven game at halftime they were losing 356 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 3: to the Patriots, and you know, aside from one fourth 357 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,399 Speaker 3: down conversion a big play. You know, I don't know 358 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,440 Speaker 3: that they look that great, but sure, yeah, you play 359 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 3: sixty minutes. I was impressed. 360 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 4: I'm impressed with Pete Carroll, the oldest head coach ever. 361 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 2: Maybe I don't know. 362 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 4: He hates when I say that, so I say it more. 363 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 4: But he's impressive. He's really good. 364 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,879 Speaker 3: Talked about culture and identity and how we talk in 365 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 3: the building and what we're gonna be. 366 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 4: I love it. 367 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:42,400 Speaker 3: Chip Kelly way underrated, Gino Smith underrated Max Crosby. Game 368 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 3: changer caused in interception with pressure. You know we mentioned 369 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 3: a closer before. That's why those pass rushers make that 370 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,360 Speaker 3: much money. I don't know if they have enough firepower offensively, 371 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 3: but they might, you know, and knowing Pete Carroll like. 372 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 4: They're gonna go get it. This is a game that 373 00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:58,360 Speaker 4: meant a. 374 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,200 Speaker 3: Lot to them, a lot of ties, Pete Carroll going 375 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 3: back to New England. Chip Kelly's from New Hampshire. Tom 376 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 3: Brady's kind of running football ops there. 377 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 4: So we'll see. 378 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,399 Speaker 3: I think it's a long season, but this was a 379 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 3: game that meant a lot to a lot of people 380 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:11,639 Speaker 3: in the Raiders organization. 381 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 4: So huge win, A huge win on the road for 382 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:15,880 Speaker 4: Las Vegas. 383 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 2: Great stuff. 384 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,920 Speaker 1: Matt Hasselbeck, What a fun weekend we had Bears Vikings tonight. 385 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm going to get in that 386 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:23,160 Speaker 1: one matters. 387 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 3: You know exactly what you're gonna get tonight, you know exactly. 388 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 4: You get a whole lot of Brian Flores and it's 389 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:28,879 Speaker 4: going to be impressive. 390 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 1: Yep. 391 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 2: We talked about that earlier. 392 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 1: To keep your eye on Brian Flores and Caleb Williams 393 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: and that chest match. Good talking to you, Matt, as always, Okay, 394 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 1: see it all right? So yeah, I mean I like 395 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: Minnesota tonight. They have the better roster. I don't think 396 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,159 Speaker 1: home field in the NFL means more than maybe a point. 397 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,640 Speaker 1: There were a lot of things I thought Michael Pennis 398 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,440 Speaker 1: and cam Ward looked good. Bo Nick struggled, I've got 399 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 1: some thoughts on that. I thought the Raiders. You know, 400 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,160 Speaker 1: I grew up watching the Raiders on the West Coast 401 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:02,400 Speaker 1: play those four o'clock games with Stabler and Eugene Upshaw 402 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,879 Speaker 1: and I mean Fred Bulletnikoff and Cliff Branch and those 403 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 1: memories are so embedded for me as a kid. The 404 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,679 Speaker 1: Raiders are remember when the Warriors before they got Staff. 405 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,159 Speaker 1: I said this before. It's a great brand. It's just 406 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: been dormant or asleep for thirty years since Rick Berry. 407 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 1: I mean, you watched the Raiders yesterday. They got some dudes, 408 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 1: They got some dudes. 409 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 5: They were fine. The Patriots looked inferior. 410 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,119 Speaker 6: You know, I'm gonna ask you about one guy we 411 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 6: haven't talked about, and that's Russell Wilson because Colin there's 412 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 6: a lot of people talking about this New York Giants. 413 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,879 Speaker 6: See hey, Daniel Jones sure looked awesome with the Colts. 414 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,160 Speaker 6: They scored on every drive. Russell Wilson and a team 415 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 6: that returned ten of eleven starters, and they couldn't do 416 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,119 Speaker 6: anything against Washington, which doesn't even have a great defense. 417 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: I'll ask yourself this next week at half Giants trail 418 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 1: fourteen to nothing, you're gonna start losing the locker room 419 00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 1: next week? 420 00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 5: What about Thursday at practice? 421 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 6: Because Russ did not look comfortable doing it, Malik Neighbors 422 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 6: was kind of erupting on the sideline. Listen, man, I 423 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 6: know we like Dable, he's a sharp offensive mine. But Colin, 424 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 6: it's starting to look like if this keeps up, he ain't. 425 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:11,679 Speaker 5: Lasting the season. 426 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,479 Speaker 2: Oh no way, I don't think so. In La, it's 427 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 2: the herd. 428 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 7: Hey, what's up everybody?

They host the Vikings tonight. 448 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 1: I think Minnesota is a one and a half point favorite. 449 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,680 Speaker 1: I like the Vikings. I think Brian Flores against young 450 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: quarterbacks is a problem. 451 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:45,360 Speaker 2: Here's J Mack with. 452 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 4: A news, no. 453 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 2: News, this is the Herdline News. 454 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 6: Let's start with a game call that we totally nailed 455 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:54,880 Speaker 6: Texans Rams. 456 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 1: The under was a no sweat first ever under bet 457 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:01,159 Speaker 1: the Blazing five. 458 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,640 Speaker 6: So easy Rams win fourteen to nine. It was tough, 459 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 6: it was It was a you know, kind of an 460 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 6: unwatchable game. 461 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 5: As we predicted. 462 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 2: CJ. 463 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 6: Stroud did not have a good go They settled for 464 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 6: three field goals in the first half, one hundred and 465 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 6: twenty one total net yards in the second half, two turnovers, 466 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 6: and I didn't. 467 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 5: Like this from CJ. Stroud after the game. 468 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 9: Take a listen, you come out in NFL LOLLI gaging 469 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 9: and you know, not going through themotions. I'm that kind 470 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 9: of what happened. So I think we'll be all right. 471 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 9: But I think it's a good way I'll call for 472 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 9: for me, you know, preparing. I got to do a 473 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 9: better job, and I also got to hold my guys accountable, 474 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 9: you know, for that one anxiety and it's the first 475 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 9: thing of the year. We got a lot of exiety 476 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:41,360 Speaker 9: looks we did not expect. 477 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 4: They did too. 478 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 2: They made the play, So. 479 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 4: You can come with a million excuses. We got to 480 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 4: just be better. 481 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,680 Speaker 1: Okay, First of all, these are excellent defenses. I mean, 482 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:54,120 Speaker 1: Frisk Jared Verse. I just think I'm going to give 483 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,640 Speaker 1: both teams a pass. There's a reason I put an 484 00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 1: under in the blazing five. These huge and Demiko Ryans 485 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:05,159 Speaker 1: and the Rams. This game had seventeen to fourteen written. 486 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 1: I mean, Lit's send. Houston was driving for the win, 487 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 1: they were and Landerman, that side linebacker made a great play. 488 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: So I mean this is one it's staffords really good. 489 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: But I this was you're talking about two of the 490 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 1: top five or six defenses. I think Houston defense is excellent. 491 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 6: It is. Stafford had a pretty damn good game twenty 492 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 6: one of twenty nine, two hundred and forty five yards. 493 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 6: I think he had PFF turned in with the most 494 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 6: big time throws. He had a sick no look past. Yeah, 495 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 6: so I thought they played well. My thing about Stroud 496 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,360 Speaker 6: is these comments aren't great. And did you notice when 497 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 6: he's running for his life he runs like directly backwards. 498 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 6: He's losing so many yards on these sacks and then 499 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:46,680 Speaker 6: blaming the offensive line. 500 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 5: I think they lost their center. 501 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 2: He was carted off. Well, they had four new starters, 502 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 2: lost their center. 503 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 1: I mean, this game on the road before you got 504 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 1: there looked like trouble This looked like a troublespan again, 505 00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 1: they were driving for the win. 506 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 6: Did you see explosiveness anywhere on that offense? Like, I 507 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 6: get it, you know, Nick Chubb looked. 508 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: Yeah. 509 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 2: Remember this defense. 510 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 1: The Rams held Jalen Hirs to like fifty sixty yards passing. 511 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 1: All right, this defense is gonna make a lot of 512 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 1: good quarterbacks. 513 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 5: Just click on the old Texans schedule. 514 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:16,880 Speaker 6: Oh interesting, they host the Buccaneers next week. It looks 515 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 6: like Monday Night football. Baker Mayfield, CJ Stroud, who's the 516 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 6: best quarterback on the field. 517 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 5: In that one there? Cowherd? 518 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 2: Why do I always have to make choices? What that's fun? 519 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 6: We're talking about sports, it's sa ad. Anyways, all right, 520 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 6: let's move on to the next one. One of your 521 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 6: favorite teams, the Broncos. They did not look good. Oo 522 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 6: bow struggle biggest spread of the week, depending on the 523 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 6: number you got, they did not cover the eight and 524 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 6: a half bow Knicks was I mean struggled as being generous. 525 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,399 Speaker 6: Look at that awful pocket awareness. He had a fumble, 526 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 6: two bad picks. I mean, look look at that throat, 527 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,440 Speaker 6: what's he doing? And then he had a fourth down scramble. 528 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 6: He tried his own tush push and like tripped. It 529 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 6: was a total debacle. Bo Nicks did shout out the 530 00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 6: defense afterward, which had six x. 531 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 10: It's the best feeling when you got a great defense. 532 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 10: I mean, just over and over. 533 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 4: They just kind of took a. 534 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:10,880 Speaker 10: You know, got us out of the jam and continue 535 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 10: to do that throughout the game. The one that really 536 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:17,399 Speaker 10: sticks out is you know they get the ball, you know, 537 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,159 Speaker 10: down one and we get two. 538 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 4: Sacks and get him out of field for range. 539 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 10: Just that'll change the game in a hurry and changed 540 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 10: the you know environment, get guys back into the game. 541 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,399 Speaker 4: And it was just it was awesome to see. 542 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:35,639 Speaker 1: And also there is something to say here about Sean 543 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 1: Payton challenges his quarterbacks, like really challenges them. I felt Denver, 544 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,159 Speaker 1: there's so much movement, so many substitutions. I felt several 545 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,159 Speaker 1: times like bow Knicks was getting to the line with 546 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: ten seconds left. You got to get to the line 547 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: with twenty on the clock. So I feel like they're 548 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 1: you know, and Sean will do this. He is gonna 549 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,679 Speaker 1: make He's gonna push you to the most you can handle. 550 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 1: Bow Knicks is in year two and I just thought, listen, 551 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 1: their old line's good. Courtland Sutton's excellent, Sean's a great coach, 552 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:09,640 Speaker 1: The defense is a sea of orange. I think they're 553 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 1: gonna be fine. I mean, they play how often in 554 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 1: the NFL can you play poorly and win well? 555 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 6: When you're facing a rookie quarterback at home, you better 556 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:18,360 Speaker 6: get that doe. 557 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:19,160 Speaker 5: But they struggled. 558 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,199 Speaker 6: I mean, listen, I know he's your boy, and I 559 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 6: like Sean Payton too. 560 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:23,439 Speaker 5: Some of the stuff he was. 561 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 6: Calling yesterday, that foot down decision to chuck it deep. 562 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 5: I mean it came Tennessee the ball. 563 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 6: I didn't like what I saw at all from Denver 564 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 6: quickly on Tennessee. So cam Ward, if you just looked 565 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,119 Speaker 6: at the stat line, twelve of twenty eight hundred and 566 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 6: twelve yards, so you're like, oh, he's not good. Did 567 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 6: you actually watch the game? 568 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 1: Oh? 569 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 6: I watched he Pro Football Focus, zero turnover worthy plays. 570 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 5: He made good. 571 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 6: Decisions, four drops by the Titans, and his average depth 572 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,119 Speaker 6: of target he's throwing the ball downfield. Jared Goff was 573 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:52,880 Speaker 6: four yards yesterday, everything short, No, cam Ward was like eleven. 574 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 5: So I really like. 575 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 1: What I think he made. A throw was early in 576 00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 1: the game. It may have been first quarter or early second. 577 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 1: It was a jail break like twelve. It felt like 578 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 1: there were thirteen Broncos in his face, and without looking, 579 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 1: he went like perpendicular. He went to his left, perfect 580 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 1: throwout in the flat, and I'm like, I don't even 581 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 1: know how he saw that. Yeah, So all I know 582 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 1: about cam Mood is this. Some guys see the field 583 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 1: and some don't. That dude sees the field. He was 584 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 1: under the most pressure of any quarterback yesterday in the league. 585 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,960 Speaker 1: He's got nothing to work with, and he is he 586 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:34,399 Speaker 1: sees the entire field. 587 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 5: Instance Again, people. 588 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 6: Will say, well, they lost the bron I'm just telling 589 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 6: you they play the Rams this week and the line 590 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 6: is a touchdown and it's in Tennessee. 591 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 2: Oh, I love Tennessee. 592 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,200 Speaker 6: I think you've got to bet the time Jeffrey Simmons, 593 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 6: by the way, was awesome. Besides that stupid penalty late. 594 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:51,879 Speaker 6: I think this team is going to be very frisky. 595 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,479 Speaker 1: Can you imagine you're in a rookie in the NFL 596 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 1: and you face the Broncos pass rush and then the 597 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,680 Speaker 1: Rams net that's not you two best defenses in the league. 598 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,400 Speaker 6: I'm just telling you that division is going to be open. 599 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,399 Speaker 6: I didn't like what I saw from the Texans. I 600 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,120 Speaker 6: like what I saw from the Titans in defeat. Maybe 601 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 6: I'm going overboard, that's fine whatever. Final story, Colin, Oh, 602 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,120 Speaker 6: let's get to the Giants. I tried to force feed 603 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,680 Speaker 6: this a few minutes ago. This is Russell Wilson thing. 604 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,159 Speaker 6: Oh my god, what is he doing? Eliite Neighbors was 605 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 6: visibly angry with him on the sideline Russ under pressure 606 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 6: two of twelve for twenty six yard brutal. This is 607 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,639 Speaker 6: a veteran took two sacks afterward. There's a lot of 608 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 6: questions about Jackson Dart. 609 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 2: Here we go, Russe. 610 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,680 Speaker 11: Like I told you guys before, Russ was our quarterback. 611 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 11: I think what you do with your backup quarterback and 612 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 11: your third corvation, make sure you have enough packages in 613 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 11: if they go in the game, that is stuff that 614 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 11: they feel comfortable with. 615 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 2: So we'll see where we're at. 616 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 11: We're going to get home, pat, We're gonna look at 617 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 11: our game collectively. 618 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 2: We all got to do better. 619 00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 1: I was just announced that Russell Willson and will start 620 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 1: in a week two against the. 621 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 6: Cowboys, to a chorus of booze from Giants fans. I 622 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 6: don't know what to make a Cowboys Giants this week? 623 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 6: What's the line four and a half? 624 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 5: I think it was. 625 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 6: It was at hold, it was three on the look ahead, 626 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 6: and now it's at five. 627 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 2: Cowboys favored by five. 628 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 6: I don't see how the Cowboys should be favored just 629 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 6: because they look. 630 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 5: Good against the Eagles and the opener. 631 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 2: Well, they get extra time. Maymember they get three extra 632 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 2: days of practice. 633 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 5: I need to see the injuries. 634 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 6: But uh I bet the Giants last week, so I'm 635 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 6: not doing it again. But I do think that they 636 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 6: will be free. That's gonna be a good game. Divisional matchup. 637 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 1: Week two is an interesting betting week as you can 638 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 1: really act, you can fall in love.

Bryce Underwood's a really 677 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 1: talented receiver quarterback. They don't have a very good receivers. 678 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 1: They don't have a lot of juice to their offense. 679 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 1: Bryce Underwood's really good. But Oklahoma found their quarterback. And 680 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 1: Oklahoma's defense is all juniors and seniors hammered. Well, I 681 00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 1: mean they control the games. I mean Michigan is not 682 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:21,480 Speaker 1: built to play from behind that receiving course. Though it 683 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 1: wasn't blowout city, Yeah, I would say Oklahoma has to 684 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:30,400 Speaker 1: feel great like the Jets, they found their quarterback. I 685 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,440 Speaker 1: mean you have to say this about justin fields, like 686 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 1: it's a thing where like in New York, these organizations 687 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 1: both since Eli Manning, it's. 688 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,160 Speaker 2: Like you got you're looking for your quarterbacks. It's hard. 689 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 2: And my take with the Giants is play. 690 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:47,080 Speaker 1: Jackson Dart because next year's quarterback draft is loaded. 691 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 2: Figure out if he can play. 692 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 5: You don't want to put him behind a line that 693 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 5: can't protect him. 694 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,760 Speaker 6: Then he gets hurt or he just overwhelmed and you 695 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 6: kill the kids confidence. 696 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:54,720 Speaker 5: So there's no rush. 697 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 8: Right. 698 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 5: You need Andrew Thomas healthy, you need everybody healthy. 699 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 2: Yes, I believe that's true. The other thing in this sounds. 700 00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:07,080 Speaker 1: Harsh is and this is always sound harsh, But when 701 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:11,000 Speaker 1: you have good people in a company and you, you know, 702 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 1: we both have stakes in little companies, and you lose 703 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 1: somebody really good, you want to ideally hire somebody within 704 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 1: the building, right because you want to elevate. It's good 705 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 1: for morale. You move somebody up in the building. But 706 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 1: when you watch the Hall of Fame game, you lose 707 00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:33,640 Speaker 1: Ben Johnson, sharp as attack, Aaron Glenn, I mean, really 708 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 1: an elite defensive coordinator, and they decide we're just we're 709 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 1: just going to hire guys in the building. So Dan 710 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 1: Campbell is not a schematic guy, like very rarely is 711 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:50,160 Speaker 1: your head coach a great scheme guy. Kyle Shanahan is 712 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:55,960 Speaker 1: Andy Reid, Sean Payton are I mean Demko Ryans defensively is. 713 00:33:56,320 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 1: But generally a GM is hiring a CEO. So when 714 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:04,000 Speaker 1: you hire Dan Campbell, he's a culture builder. He's a 715 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 1: guys guy, very alpha, former player, build toughness. I remember 716 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,399 Speaker 1: going back to like Jared Goff's first year, they weren't 717 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 1: very good, but man, nobody played harder than this team. 718 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 1: So he is very reliant on scheme and coordinators. Nick Seriani, 719 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 1: we've seen him with great coordinators. We've seen him with 720 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 1: less than great coordinators, and Philly got bad really fast. 721 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:36,120 Speaker 1: So again, generally your coach isn't your best scheme guy. 722 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,560 Speaker 1: Shanahan is very unique. That's why Shanahan can lose guys. 723 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,759 Speaker 1: It doesn't affect the offense. Andy Reid can lose offensive coordinators, 724 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 1: it doesn't affect it. McVeigh can lose offensive coordinators. It 725 00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 1: doesn't affect it because they're excellent. That's not Dan Campbell. 726 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:55,799 Speaker 1: So they went inside the building and handed the offense 727 00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,640 Speaker 1: to an older gentleman who maybe a solid coach. Ben 728 00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,719 Speaker 1: Jonson was best in the league, best in class. So 729 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,920 Speaker 1: watching Green Bay in Detroit there is that you could 730 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,960 Speaker 1: not look the Hall of Fame game. It was obvious. 731 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,480 Speaker 1: It was like, yeah, this doesn't work. This doesn't work 732 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 1: at all. So I, you know, you don't want to 733 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:19,760 Speaker 1: go overboard. But remember they're doing a couple of things simultaneously. 734 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:25,200 Speaker 1: They're rebuilding the interior of the old line and they're 735 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:29,320 Speaker 1: bringing in a new coordinator. So that's a big ask 736 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,680 Speaker 1: if you don't have an elite offensive coordinator and you 737 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,920 Speaker 1: don't have an elite scheme coach. But that thing yesterday 738 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,720 Speaker 1: was like, I didn't feel that competitive. It wasn't Miami Colts, 739 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 1: but it didn't feel terribly competitive. The Jared Goff without 740 00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:48,160 Speaker 1: Ben Johnson and McVeigh if he doesn't get protection. I 741 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,879 Speaker 1: said this on the Blazing five picks. You know, there's 742 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:54,000 Speaker 1: the Jeff Fisher Jared Goff, then there's the McVeigh and 743 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,319 Speaker 1: then he goes early without Ben Johnson. You're like, oh, 744 00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,400 Speaker 1: then he gets Ben Johnson. You're like, Okay, it's different. 745 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 1: You know are valuable, but Jared Goff is the last 746 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:08,440 Speaker 1: of the reasonably young sit in the pocket, only he's not. 747 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:09,720 Speaker 2: He needs protection. 748 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,320 Speaker 1: Well, they're rebuilding the interior of the old line, and 749 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:14,000 Speaker 1: they couldn't run the game with Jamar Gibbs. 750 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:14,839 Speaker 2: They couldn't run the ball. 751 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,239 Speaker 1: The other thing that jumped out to me in this game, 752 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 1: Micah Parsons only played forty five percent of the snaps like. 753 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,359 Speaker 2: He had influence. That felt like on all of them. 754 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:33,160 Speaker 1: I mean they green Bay played with a ton of confidence. 755 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:37,400 Speaker 1: And it is remarkable. When Belichick took over doing a 756 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:39,960 Speaker 1: lot of the drafting in New England, they could not 757 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:45,840 Speaker 1: draft offensive players. Green Bay just does not miss drafting 758 00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:51,040 Speaker 1: offensive guy all those receivers can play like all of 759 00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:54,440 Speaker 1: them can. So you know my takeaway when you go 760 00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:58,360 Speaker 1: into a weekend is people say you shouldn't overreact on 761 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,560 Speaker 1: a Monday. Now, I I reacted at the Hall of 762 00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:05,839 Speaker 1: Fame game with Detroit hiring in the building, and I'm 763 00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,920 Speaker 1: reacting here. I don't care what the Vikings and Bears 764 00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,200 Speaker 1: look like tonight, and I've seen enough. 765 00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:11,720 Speaker 2: Of the Lions. 766 00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,680 Speaker 1: Green Bay's roster now is the best, and they're not 767 00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:19,280 Speaker 1: rebuilding anywhere. Everybody else in the league's got concerns. Minnesota 768 00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:21,239 Speaker 1: doesn't know what they have a quarterback. Chicago didn't know 769 00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,560 Speaker 1: what they have a quarterback. They're rebuilding their own line. 770 00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:28,080 Speaker 1: The lines are rebuilding their interior old line. Green Bay's 771 00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:29,760 Speaker 1: not rebuilding anything. 772 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,400 Speaker 6: By the way, did you see Parsons in the videos 773 00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,600 Speaker 6: going right at Pennase sewel like getting by him like 774 00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:37,320 Speaker 6: it was nothing. Now, I know you only use on 775 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,799 Speaker 6: a pitch count. Let me quickly ask you, Detroit, how 776 00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,440 Speaker 6: down are you? Because they will be hosting the Chicago 777 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,120 Speaker 6: Bears on Sunday at one. 778 00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:44,880 Speaker 5: It's on Fox. 779 00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,319 Speaker 6: Bears on a short week, Detroit going home on the 780 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,720 Speaker 6: indoor fast track, do you want to get the line 781 00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:51,319 Speaker 6: for that game. 782 00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:52,279 Speaker 2: Oh, let me think about that. 783 00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:57,319 Speaker 1: I would say Detroit off a humiliating loss, favored by 784 00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:03,040 Speaker 1: four five. Yeah, I would probably depending on what I 785 00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:03,600 Speaker 1: see tonight. 786 00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:06,880 Speaker 6: Ben Johnson now going back to Detroit. He knows that 787 00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,120 Speaker 6: defense as well as anybody. I think that's a phenomenal 788 00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,279 Speaker 6: match up on Fox next Sunday. Obviously Detroit's got to 789 00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:14,680 Speaker 6: win and look good, but Chicago could be behind the 790 00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,960 Speaker 6: eight bol short week. Ben Johnson against Detroit's gonna be 791 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:19,879 Speaker 6: hyped in the media. That's a fascinating game. 792 00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:25,440 Speaker 1: There are two instances yesterday where I do think you 793 00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:29,560 Speaker 1: have to slow down on the criticism Bonnicks. Prime example, 794 00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:34,239 Speaker 1: Sean Payton puts we had Drew Brees on this show 795 00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,760 Speaker 1: last year ten times. Drew Brees will tell you Sean 796 00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,600 Speaker 1: loads you up. He is going to challenge you at 797 00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:46,680 Speaker 1: practice every day. I believe Denver, and I think knowing 798 00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,440 Speaker 1: that he was facing a rookie quarterback at home, knowing 799 00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,120 Speaker 1: that his defense would dominate, I think he put a 800 00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,760 Speaker 1: lot on bon Nick's plate. I thought they were getting 801 00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:58,759 Speaker 1: to the line way too late, so I think Denver's 802 00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:03,719 Speaker 1: offense will look better. I remember it's a seventeen game schedule. 803 00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:08,560 Speaker 1: Starters do not play in the preseason. They don't play much. 804 00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,480 Speaker 1: So there are some things I'm going to take from 805 00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:14,480 Speaker 1: bow Nix and go let's scale back. I think they'll 806 00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:18,799 Speaker 1: be fine. The other thing is Michael Pennix lost. I 807 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:24,399 Speaker 1: thought Pennix had some sensational moments. Again, you're talking about 808 00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:27,319 Speaker 1: Todd Bowles, You're talking about you know, Tampa's probably got 809 00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:31,960 Speaker 1: the better roster. But I thought cam Ward looked really, 810 00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,920 Speaker 1: really solid. I thought Justin Fields kind of blew me away. 811 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:39,800 Speaker 1: And I thought Michael Pennix, listen that if Michael Pennix 812 00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:43,880 Speaker 1: can play, and we'll find out if JJ McCarthy can 813 00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,680 Speaker 1: play to night. We know Jayden Daniels can play. Drake 814 00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,080 Speaker 1: may is going to be better. Have we ever had 815 00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:50,839 Speaker 1: like a six for six or a five for five 816 00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:52,080 Speaker 1: first round with quarterbacks. 817 00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:54,160 Speaker 5: I don't know that we've ever been that. 818 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,759 Speaker 6: Pennix was great, the defense was good, Baker just beat 819 00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:58,600 Speaker 6: him with the drive and the kicker missed to go 820 00:39:58,640 --> 00:39:59,560 Speaker 6: back to Denver for a sake. 821 00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:01,480 Speaker 5: So they travel to Indy this week. 822 00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:03,439 Speaker 6: I don't know if Indy's gonna be the surprise team 823 00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:04,279 Speaker 6: of the league or what. 824 00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:06,000 Speaker 5: But That to me is. 825 00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,080 Speaker 6: An interesting that's it for Denver because I didn't think 826 00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,960 Speaker 6: Bonnicks looked great, but Indy made two a look awful 827 00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:15,280 Speaker 6: two interceptions at a fumble. If bon Nix looks shaky again, 828 00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,000 Speaker 6: does that recalibrate your thoughts on the Broncos. 829 00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:21,880 Speaker 5: We've seen CJ. Stroud have a sophomore slump. Who's the 830 00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:22,279 Speaker 5: other guy? 831 00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:24,720 Speaker 6: There's a lot of concern about Jade Daniels the potential 832 00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:25,520 Speaker 6: sophomore slump. 833 00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:27,640 Speaker 5: Do you think Knicks has one or was this just 834 00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:28,279 Speaker 5: a one off? 835 00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:33,480 Speaker 1: Well, great quarterbacks don't have sophomore slumps. Burrow didn't, Mahomes 836 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:34,000 Speaker 1: did well. 837 00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:35,440 Speaker 5: I don't think we think he's in that class. 838 00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:39,960 Speaker 2: Come on, that's right, good quarterbacks c J. Stroud do So. 839 00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:44,400 Speaker 1: I think for great quarterbacks home field doesn't mean anything. 840 00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:47,319 Speaker 1: Mahomes can win anywhere, Josh can win anywhere, Lamar can 841 00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:51,960 Speaker 1: win anywhere. For good quarterbacks, home field means something. And 842 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:56,800 Speaker 1: I also think for great quarterbacks they'll overcome a slightly 843 00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:00,680 Speaker 1: above average coordinator. For good quarterbacks, they'll go backwards. So 844 00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,719 Speaker 1: I mean, my strongest opinions of the week of this 845 00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:08,319 Speaker 1: weekend are Green Bay's win in that division, Green Bay, 846 00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,799 Speaker 1: with Micah playing less than half the snaps, played with 847 00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:16,040 Speaker 1: a confidence. I haven't seen a Packer defense play within years. 848 00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:22,680 Speaker 1: That's my strongest takeaway. My second strongest takeaway is Josh 849 00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:27,600 Speaker 1: Allen is the most talented quarterback I've ever seen in 850 00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:28,160 Speaker 1: my life. 851 00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,680 Speaker 5: Whoa, whoa ever in your life? 852 00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:31,080 Speaker 2: Ever? 853 00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:34,480 Speaker 1: I've never seen a quarterback that talented. I mean, you 854 00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:37,120 Speaker 1: love Lamar. You think Lamar is going to come back 855 00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:40,200 Speaker 1: in a big spot from fifteen down with three and 856 00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:40,840 Speaker 1: a half minutes. 857 00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:45,520 Speaker 6: Mostly talents, most so Patrick maholl. He's more talented than 858 00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:48,800 Speaker 6: Patrick Maha. Yes, bigger, stronger. He's bigger, stronger than Patrick. 859 00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:51,480 Speaker 6: That's not even debatable, right, He's two three inches bigger. 860 00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:53,680 Speaker 6: He's my three and a half inches taller. He weighs 861 00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:56,000 Speaker 6: another thirty pounds. He's got more horse powers. 862 00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:56,520 Speaker 5: Tom Brady. 863 00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:00,560 Speaker 1: Tom Brady's the most productive. You don't confuse product with talent. 864 00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:05,960 Speaker 1: Joe Montana again super productive. Josh Allen has a defensive 865 00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,640 Speaker 1: coach that half the league doesn't like. One guy had 866 00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,120 Speaker 1: Bill Walsh, had Belichick, has Andy Reid. 867 00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:12,040 Speaker 5: I got a process. 868 00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:15,120 Speaker 6: This the most talented quarterback I've ever seen him member ever. 869 00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,480 Speaker 2: I remember when mel Kiper came out. 870 00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:23,279 Speaker 1: Before the draft and he had the ten greatest quarterback 871 00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:26,680 Speaker 1: prospects ever. Josh Allen was nine or ten and he 872 00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:29,640 Speaker 1: had a losing record. He couldn't win. I watched Josh 873 00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,640 Speaker 1: Allen twice at Wyoming against Oregon and Iowa. I was 874 00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:35,920 Speaker 1: told by Greg Cosell the year before said watch this 875 00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:39,600 Speaker 1: kid in Wyoming. Watched the kid in my I watched him. 876 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:44,360 Speaker 1: He had an insane arm and made a throw across 877 00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,440 Speaker 1: his body in one of the games. That doesn't make sense, 878 00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:50,719 Speaker 1: but he was He got blown out. And Seattle had 879 00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:54,000 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson in his prime going to Super Bowls, and 880 00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:56,839 Speaker 1: John Snyder and Pete Carroll went to see him play 881 00:42:57,880 --> 00:42:58,640 Speaker 1: Power three neck
