Speaker 1: can't believe they already have it up. We have it up.

12
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: Best Sunday of the year had been the best games.

13
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: There was a there was a point in the early games,

14
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 1: especially where every game, I believe but one was within

15
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: one score. Uh. So that just tells you like all

16
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: these games, they were all nail biers. Uh pretty exciting, uh.

17
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: Follower Brad Tucker Twitter follower A podcast s listeners says

18
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: that the Bills and Panthers scored their games final ten points,

19
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: the Saints the final seventeen points, the Giants the final

20
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: twenty points, Rams the final twenty one points, and Brown's

21
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,559
Speaker 1: the final. When we write these things up every week,

22
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: it's you. We normally each cover two games or so,

23
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: and one is maybe competitive in the other is an

24
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,199
Speaker 1: utter wipe out. And you're basically every game today hair

25
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 1: on fire right up till the end. You're Brad Tucker

26
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: missed one the unless he was not talking about the

27
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: later games. The Chargers scored the final thirty one points

28
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: against the Jets, and we'll get into that a little later.

29
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: So TD, hew you doing, buddy behind the glass? How's

30
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: it going, guys. I'm excited to talk about the big,

31
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,479
Speaker 1: big game in Cleveland. You guys know it. Lebron's first

32
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: preseason games don't matter. Nice try TD. That's like Greg

33
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: sends like some passive aggressive, like anti baseball shots. It was, yeah,

34
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: I like baseball. I think he's taking shots at only

35
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: football matters. I you know, I love football too, but

36
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: there are other sports. Don't take it personally. I'm just

37
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: saying that watching playoff baseball, unless your team's in it

38
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: is a colossal waste of time. It's a regional sport.

39
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: If your team's out, who cares. That's not true to

40
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: quote Michael Scott, business is always personal. Alright, so let's

41
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: how about this. Why don't we get into the games.

42
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: And since you brought up Cleveland t D, we have

43
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: to start with Mark Sessler with a glow in his eye.

44
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: Let's start in Tennessee. We'll start in Tennessee where Brian

45
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: Hoyer through a six yard touchdown past the Travis Benjamin

46
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: with one o nine to play in the Cleveland Browns

47
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: rallied back from a twenty five point deficit to beat

48
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans Sunday. Gentlemen, this was the biggest road

49
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: comeback in NFL history, NFL history, Sessler, Cleveland is now

50
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: two and two. It could easily before and oh, let's

51
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: be honest. So I ask you, guys, are we ready

52
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: to believe they could just as easily be owing four.

53
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: You enjoy this moment there. They are one of the

54
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: more unpredictable teams I've watched week to week in a

55
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: long time, because nothing about what they did in at

56
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: first half suggested what happened in the second half. That's

57
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: how you get the greatest road come back, and guest,

58
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: enjoy it. You always say nothing good ever happens to

59
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: Browns fan, There's something good happened today. This is magical stuff.

60
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,519
Speaker 1: Anybody that's a that that listens to this podcast knows.

61
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: I sit across remarks Sessler. He was I don't think

62
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: I've ever seen Mark more sour than the first half.

63
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: He you looked like you were at the edge of

64
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: your rope, like you were about to go agnostic like Wes.

65
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: But that you even sent me an I am at

66
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: one point, this is the verbatim quote, I hate my life,

67
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: want out of here. Wait, you want out of your job?

68
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: Out of it? It was chrim Listen. The way I

69
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: felt about this stretch of games that this Browns team

70
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: has is if you're going to stop being the four

71
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: win team, you've got to take care of business against

72
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: a Titans team that's shown nothing three weeks in a row.

73
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: So how do they do it? First half? They didn't

74
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: do it. The first half they looked about as bad

75
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: as they have in a long long time, and the

76
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: defense has major issues. They fought their way back in

77
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: with everything we don't think this team can do. They

78
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: threw the ball over the place. I mean, they had

79
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: something like four hundred and sixty yards of offense. It's

80
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: it's guys that you Jordan Cameron has six catches all

81
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: year in their averaging. Here's some numbers. Brian Hoyer yards,

82
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: three touchdowns, Ben Tate takes on the bell, cow Roll

83
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: carries a hundred and twenty three yards. Uh, leading the

84
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 1: way on the with the running game. Uh. But again

85
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: Brian Hoyer again showing he could do it late in games.

86
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 1: He obviously is someone that stays cool under rusher. Uh.

87
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: He's also you could tell the team loves him. We

88
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: saw that postgame locker room seeing him dancing in the circle.

89
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of positive vibes in Cleveland

90
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: right now. West, what did you think? I didn't see

91
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: the game, but I can say that they have certainly

92
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: exceeded my expectations. I thought their offense would be one

93
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: of the worst in the NFL, so good for them. Well,

94
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: when it's three late in the first half, I mean

95
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: Tennessee scored a touchdown with only three minutes left to

96
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: go twenty three, we all started talking, or just people

97
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: on Twitter, We're talking like are we gonna see Johnny

98
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: Manzel in this game? Which was a legitimate thing to

99
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: ask it. Well, one thing we should mention that Hoyer

100
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 1: goes all frank right. We should mention that Jake Locker

101
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: went out of this game with a hand injured, and

102
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: Jake Locker actually was killing Cleveland on the ground with

103
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: his feet and making just enough throws. I mean, Cleveland's

104
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: defense looked completely out of tune, but they closed the

105
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: door in the second half. You could bring Charlie white

106
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: hurstiny as a nice ponytail, good for him, but he

107
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: did nothing on the able to suggests the first two

108
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: throws for touchdowns and then he went totally dark then right,

109
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: and that played a big role. When you come back

110
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: from that far down, you need the other team's offense

111
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: just completely disappear. That's part of the reason to come back.

112
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 1: Comebacks like this never happened, but to do it on

113
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: the road, I mean, this is a team I think

114
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: we could get excited about the Browns being frisky, the

115
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: team that could be a playoff contender. They seem like

116
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: every week they play one of the worst half in

117
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 1: football and then play one of the best halfs in football.

118
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: They are very schizophrenic that there four games have been

119
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 1: decided by a combined eight points, which is totally the

120
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 1: fourth team ever to have four games and road is

121
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: sided by three points or less. And and Mike Patton

122
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: has not improved the defense at all, And yet the

123
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: offense looks pretty good despite who is their leader receiver

124
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: today Travis Gabriel. Taylor Gabriel give give Shane a handsome

125
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: credit offensive coordinator of the year. Moving forward, Peyton Manning

126
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 1: through four touchdown passes, including two to Damarrius Thomas, and

127
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: the Broncos improved a three and one with a win

128
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: over the Arizona Cardinals. Manning's first touchdown pass was the

129
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: five hundredth of his career. He trails bred far by

130
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: four touchdowns for the NFL record. Damarius Thomas one nuts

131
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: eight catches for two D twenty six yards. That is

132
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: the highest yardage total of any receiver this season. Uh

133
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: Drew Stan exited with the concussion for the Cardinals. Uh

134
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: Logan Thomas jumped in for him. Let me ask you this, guys.

135
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: The Broncos rolled up five hundred and sixty eight yards.

136
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: Is this offense ready to achieve two thousand thirteen? Like liftoff?

137
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: Chris wessel, I don't see why it can't. We have

138
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: mentioned in previous podcast that Damarius Thomas wasn't himself. He

139
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: had been playing through a foot injury, and you could

140
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: tell he wasn't as explosive as he had been. He

141
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: was back this week, Dabie did him good. He he

142
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: outran the defense or an eighty six yard touchdown and

143
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: a thirty one yard touchdown, and then had a seventy

144
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: seven yard touchdown called back on a chop block that

145
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: Bruce Aridians called the dirtiest play he's ever seen. Claias

146
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: Campbell's gonna miss some time because of that. If they

147
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: didn't call that back, that might have been the best

148
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: Fantasy wide receiver day in the history of history. Well

149
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: and quarterback Peyton Manning at four and seventy nine yards

150
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: were a career high. That would have given him what

151
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: it's like in a relatively weak a f C. And

152
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: on this Sunday in particular, we're talking about a lot

153
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: of teams that mounted major comebacks, and Dan pointed out

154
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: before that requires a meltdown by one offense. If you're

155
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: gonna come with Denver, that's the team that this is

156
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: not happening to. They they would be honest, they bore

157
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: me because they're so good. Well, the running games not there,

158
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: but they are more balanced right now I think than

159
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: any team in the a f C, maybe the NFL.

160
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 1: In terms of that, their offense looks like a legitimate

161
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: top five group and their defense looks like a top

162
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: ten group. Monte Ball went out with an injury. Right

163
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: Ronnie Helman looked pretty good. Ronnie Helmon looked better than

164
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: any any Denver running back his look this year. And

165
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: on the other side of the ball, every time I

166
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: looked up Von Miller was hitting a quarterback. That guy's back. Yeah,

167
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: he's back to the point where probably J. J. Watt

168
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: is the only defensive player who's better than him. Was

169
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 1: this game over when True Stanton exited in, Logan Thomas

170
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: came in. Logan Thomas came in, and one of the

171
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,599
Speaker 1: funniest tweets of the day was if if there was

172
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: an awareness rating on Madden, he would have a zero.

173
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: He got sacked on his first two plays. Hit Andre

174
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: Ellington with an impressive pass thread of the needle for

175
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: a on a wheel rat ended up going for eighty

176
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: one yards, but he ended up one of eight and

177
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: just the offense went in the tank. It's one of

178
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: the craziest statlands I've ever seen. One of eight for

179
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: eight yards in a touchdown. Passer rating over a hundred,

180
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: and he only completed one of eight passes, which proves

181
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: my point that passer rating is a meaningless garbage stat

182
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: What happened about the ball? Uh? He had a groin

183
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: injury and that seems to be the UH the injury Dure,

184
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: Mike Evans and Donnie Avery went down with the same.

185
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: There was a non contact injury. You could just tell

186
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: that he was going to be gone for the rest

187
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: of the game and probably another couple of weeks after.

188
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: Interesting place to use du jour with a groining dream.

189
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: Not sure I'd go down that road, And why do

190
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: why do we need to go down that road? We

191
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: don't need to go down the road by the way.

192
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: Maybe we should just move on. What was the by

193
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: the way? I don't remember anymore because Mark through the

194
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: off comment I completely forgot it. Denver Post indicated after

195
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: the game the ball it sounds like could be out

196
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: for a while. I would expect him to. That's what

197
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: we've seen from all of these guys with the sports

198
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,479
Speaker 1: hernia or groin injuries. So does this mean the Cardinals

199
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 1: not a team of a t L nominee. I think

200
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: what I wanted to ask before team of a t

201
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: L they get doubled up in points. They kept the type,

202
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: but west is that I Well, I am abandoned the

203
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: Lions because fan at Mortality Effect tweeted me and said,

204
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 1: I am a Lions fan. Please eliminate them from the

205
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: discussion for team of a t They are trash and

206
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: don't deserve it. Well, the Cardinals, I don't think should

207
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: not be in the middle. This score was twenty four

208
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: to twenty going into the fourth quarter. Here with Logan Thomas,

209
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: that quarterback can be expecting in Denver. Hopefully Carson Palmer's

210
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 1: back next week because the Cardinals could use that shot

211
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: in the arm. Oh here's a by the way, yeah,

212
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:30,839
Speaker 1: fire nerve fire Logan Thomas awareness way Madden context is

213
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: anyone below forty one. That's pretty low. It's probably lowest

214
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 1: for any quarterback. Wow, so they knew it was up.

215
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: That's why I t d. Basically he can't read it. Yeah,

216
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: it's sad, actually, stuff to talk about. Dan Bailey kicked

217
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 1: a forty nine yard bill goal in overtime after he

218
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: missed one at the end of regulation, lifting the Dallas

219
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: Cowboys to seventeen win over the Houston Texans on Sunday.

220
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: The big play in this game happened in overtime. Tony

221
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: Romo hooked up on a long thirty seven yard reception

222
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: with Dez Brian, who basically just put on his big

223
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: boy pants and brought down a past one handed with

224
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: Jonathan Joseph all over him. Set it up this after

225
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: the Cowboys blew a ten point lead at the end

226
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: of the fourth quarter. The Cowboys are now four and one.

227
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: Gentlemen for the first time since two thousand eight. Are

228
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: we in on Big d Why not? Hey, when Jason

229
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: Garrett is winning close games, when they're when the Cowboys

230
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,319
Speaker 1: are the team that's coming through in the clutch. Yeah,

231
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 1: something's going on about this. In the last podcast that

232
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 1: this was the classic game that the Cowboys should win

233
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: but then are afraid of their own shadow and they

234
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: blow it. And sure enough, it was heading to in

235
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: that direction where they blew the lad the lead late,

236
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: they lost the coin toss in overtime, and it all

237
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: seemed like it was heading a certain direction. But they

238
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: make a stop at midfield on defense, get the ball back,

239
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: and then Romo and Dez get together in a big

240
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: play and Carpenter, who had had a thirty field goal

241
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: consecutive made streak snapped when he missed the fifty three

242
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: yarder at the end of regulation drills a forty nine

243
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: yard and ended. So it was kind of a different

244
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: situation for the Cowboys and a really a potentially nice

245
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 1: sign for them. You know, the team. We're all gonna

246
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: see the Dez Brian highlight over and over. A phenomenal catch.

247
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: But but the reason I think we can believe in

248
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: Dallas just because for all the lashing that Jerry Jones

249
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 1: rightfully takes for his blunders as a general manager, the

250
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: team quietly in the last couple of years has built

251
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: a very formidable offensive line and the running the ball

252
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 1: I think fIF percent more than they were a year ago.

253
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: Which was a big issue with Dallas last season was

254
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 1: abandoning the run game. And now they've got a healthy

255
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: DeMarco Murray. That's that's a tough combination to take down.

256
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: De Marco Murray went over a hundred yards for the

257
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: fifth straight week. Uh, he also lost his fourth fumble.

258
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 1: That's something to keep an eye on because that's something

259
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: he leads the leagues and fumbles, but he also leads

260
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: the league in rushing. The other guy on the other

261
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: side of the field. Arian Foster went well over a

262
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 1: hundred yards as well, his first real real work in

263
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: about three weeks, so he looks all the way back

264
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 1: from his injury. Really good running back play. Murray joined

265
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 1: only O. J. Simpson and Jim Brown to open the

266
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: season with five straight one yard games. That wasn't the

267
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 1: stat of the day. You want to hear them the way.

268
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: It's always great to be in the same company as O. J. Simpson,

269
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: your mind blowing stat of the day. The Cowboys have

270
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: shut out opponents three times already this season in the

271
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: first half. That's not the mind blowing part. And the

272
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: previous four seasons that's only happened three times combined. Wowan

273
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: took umbradge with Mark Sessler's uh list of descriptions for

274
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: their defense. I might you know, part of our job is,

275
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 1: and this is hard for people to do, is just

276
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: admitting we don't know anything. Sometimes we are incorrect. And

277
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: fifty words to describe Dallas's defense, about forty nine of

278
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: them don't apply right now. Maybe the move now is

279
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: to go the other way, to come up with fifty

280
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: more words of descript for the defense. But just take

281
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: that list and shifted over to the Jets. Wait on it,

282
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: look at you ride and high with the Browns, and

283
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: that came to mind. I just came out of it

284
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: came to mind out of nowhere. Any team that's you know,

285
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: I didn't deserve that. I think it must be said

286
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: before we move on, what a terrible job the Cowboys

287
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: fans did in this game that the Texans fans were

288
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: louder than the Cowboys fans there and Tony Romo had

289
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: to go to a silent count at home because the

290
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: Texans fans are so loud. So I don't know NFL media,

291
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: Steve Weish reported that little tidbit. But I guess what

292
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: do you what do you expect when you build a

293
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: billion dollar country club? Aikman's killed that place for years

294
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: as a non environment for true fans. But good game,

295
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: Cowboys always keep it up positive. Let's move on. Cam

296
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: Newton threw two touchdown passes to Greg Olsen and the

297
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: Panthers defense force four turnovers, wiping out a fourteen point

298
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: deficit deficit to beat the Chicago Bears thirty one to

299
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: twenty four. On Sunday, Jay Cutler went thirty six or

300
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: two eighty nine with two t ds but had three turnovers.

301
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: So the two and three Bears, same old story with

302
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: Jay Cutler, it seems the Panthers get back on track, thoughts, gentlemen.

303
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: I thought the Panthers defense looked like this season was

304
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: slipping away, and it looked not like a group that

305
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: we ever saw last year. And then when push came

306
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: to shove in the fourth quarter of this game, they

307
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: put together about as good a quarter as you could have.

308
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: Five drives for the Bears in the first fourth quarter

309
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: they got twenty seven yards combined, and the Panthers force

310
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: three turnovers. The defense took the game over. Cam Newton

311
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: cash in on some short fields. He played very well

312
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: once again throughout the game. Uh, and it finally showed

313
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: up for them. So how about these Panthers not lying

314
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 1: down here? I can't figure them out. Former Bears general

315
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: manager Jerry Angelo said this week there was a big

316
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: misstake when he traded greg Olsen. He regretted that one.

317
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: You don't trade greg Olson. No, greg Olsen was a

318
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: huge in this game, a huge first down on a

319
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 1: third and long. Cam I I believe as throwing the

320
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: ball better this season than he ever has in his career.

321
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't really buy into the hole. Well,

322
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: he's stuck, staying in the pocket. He's not running anymore.

323
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 1: So that now he's better, I don't know. That doesn't

324
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: make you better, but he But he's just been more

325
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 1: consistent in the first half of this game. In the

326
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: second half he was dealing on the other side. You said,

327
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: and you're right up that something is not quite right

328
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: with the Chicago passing attack. I don't know what it is.

329
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: Last year you think, I don't know it was to

330
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: two interceptions in this game. Both were high and late

331
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: over the middle. One was tipped though or one one

332
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: was really because of pressure. Uh. But his bad throw

333
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 1: I believe it was picked off midway through the fourth quarter,

334
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: really turned the game around. They were up three points

335
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 1: at that time. And he's been bad. But they're not

336
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 1: as explosive to the outside right now, Brandon Marshall when

337
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: he's going three for forty four just by looking at

338
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: the box or you just know he's probably still not himself. Uh.

339
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: Jeffrey went six or ninety seven in touch Matt Forte

340
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 1: twelve catches for a hundred and five yards and a touchdown.

341
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: Check Down City. Yeah, well, they were killing the Panthers

342
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 1: in the screen game in the first half. It was

343
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 1: like the Panthers had never seen a screen in their life,

344
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 1: and no matter who they were throwing it too, it

345
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: was working and the Panthers couldn't tackle and just they

346
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 1: were out schemed. It just looked like Mark Tressman was

347
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: killing Rivera. In the second half of the game, they

348
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 1: took away the screen pass and it was like the

349
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: Bears had nothing left. They only scored three points after halftime.

350
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: And let's yeah, let's give some credit to Cam Newton,

351
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: or more credit to Cam Newton because he's playing very

352
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 1: well and he did it. We know about the ankle

353
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,919
Speaker 1: injury which he led on said it was more serious

354
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: than perhaps it was uh made known in the newspapers

355
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: or in the media. Uh. He has a fractured ribs. Yeah,

356
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: it's like this thing that used to be something. Uh.

357
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 1: And then he had his wisdy like fourteen wisdom teeth

358
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,439
Speaker 1: taken out. I don't know how many Wisdom Team humans have,

359
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 1: but I think he had all of them removed the

360
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: earlier this week. He played through it. That's pretty impressive.

361
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: And he was he was nailed in this game, he

362
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 1: heard his elbow and his ribs must be fine because

363
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 1: he threw a nasty block on Lance Briggs on a

364
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 1: running play. Cam Newton's not only you know the best thrower,

365
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: he's their best blocker right now. The Chicago Bears any good?

366
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: I think these are two middling teams. To get a

367
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: read on Chicago, I agree with that. I think the

368
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 1: Bears they can look good one week, but there don't.

369
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: There were not a complete team in Their quarterback has

370
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: a tendency to throw backbreaking interceptions. There one Geno Smith

371
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: meltdown on that Monday night from being one and four

372
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 1: right now, so it looks like another frustrating year in Chicago.

373
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck through one touchdown pass, ran for another score,

374
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 1: and the Indianapolis Colts hold held off the Baltimore Ravens

375
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 1: thirteen on Sunday. Luck was thirty two or forty nine

376
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 1: the three twelve yards. Did throw two interceptions, so he

377
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: cooled off a little bit from his scorching hot play

378
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 1: the previous two weeks, but his thirteen uh yard scoring

379
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: run with nine minutes to play sealed the win for

380
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: the Colts. The team's combined for seven turnovers and Flacco

381
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: got sacked four times. He had been sacked three times

382
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: all year before Sunday. You know who the player of

383
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: the game was, Greg Joe Flacco, Burn Varner two sacks.

384
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: They the Ravens really missed Udine Monroe at left tackle

385
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: in this game. This was the best defense I've seen

386
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: out of the Coults since last year, since last December.

387
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: Probably were they just more aggressive? They were, Yeah, they

388
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: were pressuring Flacco throughout the afternoon. He he never got

389
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: a chance to get comfortable in the pocket, and he

390
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 1: kind of looked like he did in the first week,

391
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: whereas in weeks two and three he looked really good.

392
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: This week he was off. I think he always learned

393
00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: something when a former defensive coordinator goes up against a

394
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: quarterback that he used to be on the same team with.

395
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: And that's Pagano against Joe Flacco. And I read something

396
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,159
Speaker 1: just their blitz percentage today and you're saying they sent

397
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: pressure was crazy. So clearly Pagana, who's been with Flacco things, look,

398
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: that's the way you go after him. You send pressure

399
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: at him. He's not going to react well. And it

400
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: sounds like I guess Ray Horton didn't learn that Lesson

401
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 1: in Cleveland, Colt. Colt should have won by possibly three touchdowns.

402
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: It seemed like they should have ended this game fifty

403
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: times mob Bradshaw fumbled inside the Ravens Taniard line, luck

404
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: through an interception in the red zone. They had a

405
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 1: touchdown luck to Hilton called back on a Reggie Wayne

406
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 1: pick penalty, so they could have This could have been

407
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 1: a lot, a lot more of a blowout. Colts for

408
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: the last three weeks, granted against two cream puffs before

409
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 1: this one, have looked as good as any team. Yeah,

410
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: they looked good. If it wasn't for that stupid loss

411
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: to the Eagles, which I still don't accept as someone

412
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: who picked them that night, where they looked like the

413
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 1: better team, they would be four and one, we'd be

414
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:00,239
Speaker 1: talking about them as one of the big an FC

415
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: power house. A glance at the box score tells me

416
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 1: Trent Richardson had nine carries for thirty seven yards. That's

417
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 1: four point one yards, but carry he did a baby.

418
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: He looks like a serviceable NFL back This year, I

419
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 1: think I will say no player could do less and

420
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: receive more compliments for just simply doing what an average

421
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: guy comes in Oh, you had nine carries for thirty

422
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 1: six yards. That's how you know. I do see through

423
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 1: this a little bit, though, Mark, because I know as

424
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: a Browns band, you want that trade to be as

425
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: historically lopsided as possible. Well, actually that's not no. I

426
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: have I think that Trent Richardson let him succeed. But

427
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: it's I just do find that we're we're looking for

428
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: anything that tells us, yes, he's a successful back that's

429
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 1: going to go on and flourish. It's like, alright, actually

430
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 1: he just looks like a very average back statistically. Yes,

431
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 1: what about Mark's boy? C. J. Mosley? Oh, he looks

432
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: like to me the defensive rookie of the year. He

433
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 1: should be the favorite. He was all over the field

434
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: today and fifteen tackles Luke Keickley fifteen tackles, Lavonte David

435
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 1: fifteen tackle type of game you're at the tackles. You're

436
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: gonna love this game, by the way, and one of

437
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: the best games I've seen by a linebacker all year.

438
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,239
Speaker 1: He was two thousand thirteen Defensive Player of the Year.

439
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 1: K Is it hard to win that award though, when

440
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: you're an inside linebacker that isn't making giant head turning,

441
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: highlight real plays. I wouldn't say that you can rack

442
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: up tackles. Mayo won it without being flashy at all.

443
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 1: Sometimes depends on the year, mostly week one to now.

444
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 1: Every week he's gotten better Blake Bortles. There's two interceptions,

445
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 1: including one that was run back for a touchdown by

446
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 1: Bryce Decane. That's a great name of the Steelers held

447
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: out to beat the windless Jacksonville Jaguars seventeen to nine.

448
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 1: The Steelers got middle link performances from Ben Roethlisberger and

449
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: Tonio Brown and Levy on Belt because still took care

450
00:23:55,000 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: of the oh and five Jaguars. Uh, guys, I thought

451
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: on our preview podcast, I thought that, uh, this was

452
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 1: gonna be a wild blowout for the Steelers, but their

453
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 1: their offense didn't really deliver a nice performance here. So

454
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,919
Speaker 1: the Steelers get the win surer we expected that, but

455
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: still not a performance that makes you think, oh, they're

456
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 1: bounced back after that awful offs to the Bucks. You know,

457
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: it was like, we're looking at Jacksonville's defense by far

458
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: their best effort of the year, and they and that

459
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 1: doesn't say much because they've been lashed weekly, but held

460
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh to ten points on offense and put some good

461
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: pressure on Big Bend. I think the problem for Jacksonville

462
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: this season and the reason they're not gonna win more

463
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,360
Speaker 1: than three games or something, is because there's a lot

464
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: to like with Blake Bortles. And forget the numbers and

465
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: what you see in the box score. You just can

466
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: tell that they have found their quarterback. But you've got

467
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: an offensive line that absolutely tells defenses right out of

468
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 1: the gate, we're not gonna be able to run the ball,

469
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: just go after our quarterback. And you've got there were

470
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: four rookies on the field for Jacksonville's offense, and these

471
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: receivers there's they're gonna grow and get better too, but

472
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 1: they are dropped in the ball and in Bordles through

473
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 1: a critical pick six the one you mentioned, and he

474
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 1: admitted after that he checked down out of a run

475
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 1: play into a past that that caused a mistake and that,

476
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 1: and so there were a team with a rookie quarterback

477
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,479
Speaker 1: with a lot of promise but a lot of issues.

478
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: I think that's one of the upsets of the year

479
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: that the Steelers offense only scored ten points in Jacksonville.

480
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: There another team that's hard to figure out the Jack

481
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. I actually it shows how little I think

482
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,360
Speaker 1: of the Steelers defense that I'm kind of stunned. Bordles

483
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: and the Jaguars only scored nine points against them too.

484
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 1: Yeah damnit. Check tweeted at one point about a team

485
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 1: with big Ben Levan Bell, Antonio Brown, Heath Miller, and

486
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 1: Marcus Wheaton should score a lot more points than they

487
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 1: did today. That fair enough Pittsburgh. You know, last week

488
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: Tom and got all up in arms about the fact

489
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: that they're not a very disciplined team at times. They're

490
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: making stupid penalties that didn't show up in the first half,

491
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 1: but it did in the second half, and it and

492
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 1: it really kept Pittsburgh from doing warn this game. Kyrie

493
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,919
Speaker 1: Robinson's eight ten r touchdown run and overtime lifted the

494
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints and New all In Saints to a

495
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: thirty seven thirty one win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

496
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: on Sunday. It was a game in which Drew Brees

497
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: through fifty seven passes, including three interceptions. Uh Two of

498
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: those interceptions led to Buck's touchdowns. But despite falling down

499
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,199
Speaker 1: this game, the Saints come back and then take care

500
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: of business in a game. Let's face it, if if

501
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 1: the Saints lost this game in their building to a

502
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,679
Speaker 1: bad Buccaneers team, the sky would be falling and there

503
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: would be a reason to be saying that. But even still,

504
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: perhaps we again we were expecting a better effort from

505
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: the Saints. There's just a malaise following the Saints around

506
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: this season. They need to snap out of it. Maybe

507
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter and overtime they finally did. But

508
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 1: Drew Brees numbers look decent today. He did not play well.

509
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: He threw a pick six through another interceptions that that

510
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 1: led directly to a touchdown for the Bucks. And to me,

511
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: it seems like maybe maybe the oblique injury has affected

512
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: him more than we've led on that summertime of bleakue injury,

513
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: because they're not They haven't done anything deep all year,

514
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 1: nothing beyond twenty yards. There's a column in the New

515
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,679
Speaker 1: Orleans Times pick Une after the game, a newspaper by

516
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 1: the way, yes also NOLA dot com uh with the

517
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 1: title is with the headline is Drew Brees in decline.

518
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: Shaky play against Tampa Bay opens debate. Now this smells

519
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: like an article that was written halfway into the fourth

520
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,679
Speaker 1: quarter when the Saints were down two scores and it

521
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 1: looked like the sky was falling, the season was over.

522
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: But that's an amazing thing that that it's not just

523
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 1: in New England with Tom Brady. We can't ever accept

524
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:48,400
Speaker 1: that quarterbacks go through slumps because of injuries to themselves

525
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 1: or because the surrounding talents not playing well. We have

526
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,360
Speaker 1: to always be about to decline, not just a slump. Well,

527
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 1: he is thirty five, and it will happen eventually for

528
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: all these guys. And you're saying the offense through five

529
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 1: games and I don't think it's breeze. I think Breeze

530
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: has been solid. I just think they're they're not making

531
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: explosive plays. And that's a trademark of the Saints that

532
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: they are, that they are an explosive team and they

533
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,360
Speaker 1: don't get anything downfield, which is similar to what Tom

534
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,919
Speaker 1: Brady has done this year. You and Brandon Cooks is

535
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: someone that we talked up a lot leading into the

536
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: season and still has a ton of potential. But speaking

537
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: to your point, he had nine catches today for fifty

538
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,479
Speaker 1: six yards and two more rushes. They did a good

539
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 1: job of getting him the ball. He just wasn't in

540
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: space enough. We should give the Bucks some credit to

541
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 1: when we watched that Falcons game, we would have never

542
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 1: ever thought that they would go to Pittsburgh win a game,

543
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: and then go to New Orleans and really have this

544
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 1: game in hands. I mean, they're they're kicking themselves because

545
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: they could have been right in the middle of that

546
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: NFC South race and they kind of blew this instead.

547
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 1: When the four Committee convenes this week in our conference

548
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: roomtrees and coffee, they're gonna get brought up, Greg. That's

549
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 1: all I'm gonna say. I'm not saying they will be

550
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: chosen to be four get four tired, but they're in

551
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: the conversation at one and four spot. Let's also be fair,

552
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 1: twenty seven teams in the league, what they do this

553
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: week almost seems to have no bearing on what happens

554
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: next week. I'm just saying they I mean, they've put

555
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: together two really good performances. But you also have to

556
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: think the Saints eventually might get it going, and this

557
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: is one of those games we'll kind of forget about

558
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: by December, but it's gonna be huge next September. After

559
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 1: they make a fool of Wesley and I for picking

560
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: them as a Super Bowl team. They've already done that.

561
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Jr. Has finally played in an NFL game.

562
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 1: It took until October, but he made the most of it.

563
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: His first effort, he had to go ahead touchdown catch

564
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: a fifteen yard touchdown reception from Eli Manning with ten

565
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: minutes to play, and that helped give the Giants a

566
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 1: thirty to twenty win over the Falcons. Will come back.

567
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: When Manning was productive for the third straight week, throwing

568
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: two touchdowns and no interceptions. The Giants, who looked as

569
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 1: about as bad as you can imagine after two weeks,

570
00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: have now won three straight. So I think it's time

571
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: we give Eli Manning and the New York Giants a

572
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 1: little bit of credit. I know it's hard to do

573
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: around here, but a little bit. We all picked up. No,

574
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: not that. The only person that likes that is TD.

575
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 1: That that commercial TD. We gotta get rid of that drop.

576
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: I don't like it. It's just Eli being not Eli. Yeah,

577
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: that one's been killed. It's maybe that. Maybe that little

578
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: song though brought about the new you know, confident Eli

579
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 1: Manning not making any mistakes. Do you really think that

580
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: Eli ever lost confident Eli. I don't even know if

581
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 1: he even knows what confidence is. It's just kind of

582
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: like Meander's life. He's not throwing interceptions though eight touchdowns

583
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: one interception the last three weeks. These two teams, it

584
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: really struck me today. There one, it's one team and

585
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 1: the Giants that are doing exactly what they want to do.

586
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: Now they have um back up back in the mix,

587
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: and you have Randall, and you have crews, and even

588
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 1: when Mshire Jetting goes out with a knee and dream

589
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: this game, you have Andrey Williams, who looked like he

590
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: was shot out of a cannon and running people over

591
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 1: and it's kind of exactly what they want to do.

592
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 1: Whereas the Falcons are so limited by their lousy offensive line,

593
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: and Matt Ryan played really well in this game, but

594
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,959
Speaker 1: they can't throw anything deep. Everything is short because they

595
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: don't trust their offensive line to block for long. Greg

596
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: it's the boss. Let's let's just say, because I like

597
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 1: this Odell Beckham narrative and the way he approached the

598
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: season so far, Let's say one of us just totally

599
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 1: bowed out for the first month and then rolled in

600
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: week five. Let's say you're Daniel Rolling, You're right one

601
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 1: or two stories, you're back in the mix. Is that

602
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: would that work for you as as a work plan

603
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: for us? Maybe week five? I don't know. Let's say

604
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: we hit the with Sue, we disappear for a month,

605
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:46,959
Speaker 1: go on a journey, and get right back contribute right

606
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: in the mix. Would you be willing to forget that

607
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: whole month that had all depends on what you do

608
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: when you get back. I mean Odell Beckham came to

609
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 1: his first game with a touchdown celebration planned, and then

610
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: he got a touchdown well, and he let the world

611
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: see it a story, no spelling mistakes, gets the number

612
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: and we're gonna need a little more than your boss

613
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: just told you. Is it's perfectly acceptable to take a

614
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 1: month off, come back and your gangbusters. That's what I'm hearing.

615
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,959
Speaker 1: I I sent Sessler's desk cleared out in the morning,

616
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: and that he comes back with a giant beard in

617
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: mid March. I'll see you in Thanksgiving time properly. This

618
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: game also had one of the another chapter in the

619
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 1: craziest storyline ever, which is Anton Smith only scores seventy

620
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 1: yard plus touchdowns or whatever it is. Another seventy. All

621
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: seven of his career touchdowns are over thirty eight yards.

622
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: The big play machine he ever just twenty yards every

623
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: time he touches the boat. The Giants and the Falcons

624
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 1: and UH, all that Baltimore and Detroit and Buffalo and

625
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: Houston and Dallas, it's just me or is every team

626
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: gonna finish eight and eighth this season? I think the

627
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: Giants are better than that. I think this is a

628
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: game that will show up at the end of the

629
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 1: year when they're battling for the playoffs. I think they're

630
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: getting in. Who could have predicted that we would be saying?

631
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: And after Week five, the Alkins lost because they didn't

632
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: get the ball to Devin Hester and Anton Smith or

633
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: the three NFC's teams might make the playoffs. Speaking of

634
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 1: NFC East teams, Nick Bolls through two touchdown passes and

635
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 1: the defense and special teams of the Eagles both scored.

636
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: That's a second time that's happened in as many weeks,

637
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 1: and the Eagles held on for a thirty four win

638
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: over the St. Louis Rams. Uh. The Rams actually fell

639
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: behind thirty four seven in this game before Austin Davis

640
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: rallied the team back, UH cut it to thirty. They

641
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: had the ball, got it to the fifty yard line,

642
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: but things kind of puttered out after that. So the

643
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: Eagles hold on UH and get the win. Another win

644
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: for Chip Kelly's genius outfit, and UH the Rams lose again. Gentlemen,

645
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: your takeaways for this game. The Eagles have more touchdowns

646
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 1: via defense and special teams over the last three weeks

647
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: than them by their offense. Five in the last two

648
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: weeks along, which is crazy six over the last three

649
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 1: weeks and only four on offense. The offense still, by

650
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: the way, the offense, UH still doesn't look great. And

651
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 1: Nick Foles again, it's gonna the box score will tell

652
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: you that he threw one interception, but he you know,

653
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 1: especially early in the game, he was doing that thing

654
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: again where he just kind of floats the ball in

655
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 1: the middle of the field, got away with some bad throws.

656
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,839
Speaker 1: So continue to see this and you can't can't help

657
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 1: but think that this is eventually gonna really catch up

658
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 1: to him. He's throwing five interceptions now he through two

659
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 1: all of last season. So to his credit, he did

660
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:34,439
Speaker 1: make some plays. They put some points on the board

661
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 1: on offense as well, but Folds remains kind of an enigma,

662
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 1: one sneaky negative for St. Louis. So you spend all

663
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 1: offseason evaluating your quarterbacks, listing them one, two, and three,

664
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: and wait, it's your third quarterback. That's by far the

665
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 1: most productive pastor you have on the roster. Come on,

666
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 1: you know your own team sounds good. He didn't look

667
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 1: good in the first half. The whole Rams team was

668
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 1: completely adrift in the first half. But once he he

669
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: heated up, got him back in the game. He threw

670
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 1: for seventy five yards and three touchdowns. He did lose

671
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 1: two fumbles, so he took a little and he took

672
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 1: too long to get going in this game. But Davis

673
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:13,240
Speaker 1: gives the Rams reason for optimism moving forward as they

674
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 1: look beyond Sam Bradford. You'd assume was he able to

675
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 1: move the offense before garbage time? No, uh no, So

676
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: I think that's where, Yeah, you gotta keep it in perspective,

677
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 1: you know, the and he was taking something, but he yeah,

678
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,839
Speaker 1: I mean to his credit, like even you know they

679
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 1: got another score to cut it within seven. That was

680
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 1: not garbage hime. I mean that once he got cooking

681
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 1: a little bit, he was hitting on all his throws.

682
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 1: He just he seems comfortable. He he knows he's thrown

683
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,399
Speaker 1: at a better level than Nick Foles right now, for sure,

684
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 1: the Eagles are one of the strangest teams I've ever seen,

685
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 1: especially strange four and one team. I can't tell if

686
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 1: they're an absolutely terrible team that the roof's gonna cave in,

687
00:35:56,760 --> 00:36:00,479
Speaker 1: or if they've somehow scraped out for when in five

688
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 1: games despite a million things going wrong for them on offense,

689
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 1: and they're gonna like switch into some juggernaut like their

690
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: games are all bizarre. Guys want to Lashawn McCoy update.

691
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 1: Speaking of mysteries, Lashan McCoy is having just a miserable season.

692
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 1: Uh got it was a little better this week. He

693
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 1: had some more holes. He had some positive plays, but

694
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 1: he also had one play that was I'm sure they'll

695
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 1: show it in replays of this game that was kind

696
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:25,760
Speaker 1: of emblematic of the season, where he caught a pass

697
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: in the backfield just got ridiculous, trying to make too

698
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 1: much happen, ended up going negative ten yards and then

699
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 1: held the ball out like a like a loaf of

700
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 1: bread and got stripped for a Fumble's you know, it's

701
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 1: just the kind of stuff that's very frustrating and and

702
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 1: it does also it tells you something interesting that when

703
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 1: the Eagles are trying and failing to run out the

704
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 1: clock in the fourth quarter, Darren Sprawls was getting a

705
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 1: lot of touches and uh, neither of them were able to,

706
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 1: you know, move the chain. So the running game is

707
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 1: just not there. And you you have to wonder, like

708
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 1: how much longer this is gonna go on, or if

709
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 1: this is an offensive line issue that will be a

710
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,839
Speaker 1: season long. Yeah, I guess I don't make too much

711
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 1: of it. Compared to where they were last year. They

712
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 1: have no offensive line compared to last season. That that's

713
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:07,839
Speaker 1: the reason this is. And I keep on seeing and

714
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 1: and they talked about on the telecast how important Jason

715
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 1: Kelsey was because of his athleticism what they like to do.

716
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:16,919
Speaker 1: So he I think he has a sports hernia something

717
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 1: like that. So once he gets back in a few weeks,

718
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:24,319
Speaker 1: that could be a big difference. Dan Carpenter had a

719
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:26,800
Speaker 1: fifty eight yard field goal of four seconds to play

720
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 1: the cap a Buffalo Bill's stunning come come from behind

721
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: seventeen fourteen victory over the Detroit Lions on Sunday and

722
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 1: Orchard Parker Kyle Orton, who replaced EJ. Manuel's a great

723
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 1: fanfair this week when thirty or forty three for three

724
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:46,320
Speaker 1: eight yards had a two yard touchdown past the Chris

725
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:49,439
Speaker 1: Gragg in a twenty yard completion to Sammy Watkins, that's

726
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 1: set up Carpenter's bomb to win the game. And now

727
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 1: to discuss this game, we have the man, the myth,

728
00:37:55,680 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 1: the legend, Kevin Patrick coming at you. It's somebody fellows, fellows,

729
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 1: fol who's going on? How are you doing? Uh? This this?

730
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: I would imagine Kevin Patra always coming at you, big

731
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:12,400
Speaker 1: Lions fan. This one had to sting. Uh, you know what,

732
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,360
Speaker 1: They've been losing an eighth inning all week in in Detroit,

733
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: so why I mean seriously ranked this day in Detroit

734
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 1: sports history. You watched your Tigers go out in baseball

735
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,320
Speaker 1: for the season, they're done, and you watched Jim Schwartz

736
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:34,919
Speaker 1: get carried off the field by the Buffalo Bold that later. Yeah,

737
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 1: you know what, the Tiger goods. I'm glad the Tigers

738
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: don't have to stop watching stop watching that debacle. And

739
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 1: as far as the Schwartz thing, that didn't really bother me.

740
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 1: You know it's the NFL win. If you don't want

741
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 1: him to get carried off on your field win. You

742
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 1: know how you win a deal? Kick a field goal

743
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 1: for once. They Lions kickers are one for nine in

744
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 1: field goals over thirty years. That is an incredible stat

745
00:38:56,719 --> 00:39:00,439
Speaker 1: for the year thousand fourteen. That's worse than high school kids.

746
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 1: It's crazy. I truly believe that between the four of

747
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:06,879
Speaker 1: you sitting there that you could one of you could

748
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: probably beat that. People always say in a real game,

749
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 1: there's always got a guy in the news room or

750
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,799
Speaker 1: probably an office. It's like, oh, I get a thirty

751
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,320
Speaker 1: yard field goal. No, you can't, and you're a fool.

752
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 1: Sit down. It's harder than people realize. West, I've kicked

753
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:24,800
Speaker 1: a fifty yard field goal with anybody rushing at me.

754
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 1: That's a fair point. You're also a specimen. I'm not

755
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:29,879
Speaker 1: a specimen. The greatest corn whole player I've ever seen,

756
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 1: but yeah, it's a disgrace. The thing is, two of

757
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 1: them weren't even close. The second they weren't even within

758
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 1: a mile of being being closed. So I don't know

759
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,319
Speaker 1: why you even tried the last one. But here's one word,

760
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 1: and it's not even a real word. But I'll say it,

761
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 1: kick delicious, get him in the building. It's not gonna happen.

762
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:51,760
Speaker 1: How about the offense? How about the offense? Though didn't

763
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 1: score a point after the first quarter. I mean they

764
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 1: get an interception return in the second, so they were

765
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 1: held scoreless for the final three quarters. You've got to

766
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: give the Bills a little credit here. And yeah, and

767
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 1: that's one reason why Jim Schwartz deserved to get his

768
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 1: get carried off the field. People are gonna talk about

769
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 1: the kicking woes and that it's true. But for the

770
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 1: last four weeks, Matthew Staffs and It's offense has not

771
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 1: looked good. They just haven't. And and today the offensive

772
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 1: line got destroyed. Marcel diet Darris had three sacks. He

773
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: was under pressure all game. Uh and the secondary made

774
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,800
Speaker 1: him look off his first couple of looks. Calvin Johnson

775
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 1: clearly wasn't himself. Again, if it wasn't for bolting tap,

776
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 1: this team would have liked had left two yards of offense.

777
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 1: New York's offense. Greg's theory former former defensive coach facing

778
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:39,240
Speaker 1: his old quarterback. Oh yeah, they he shows, he shows

779
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 1: the way that you should attack him. But this is

780
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,879
Speaker 1: a Lion's offense without Calvin Johnson essentially at one catch

781
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:46,879
Speaker 1: and then he left the game. It's without Reggie Bush

782
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: who left the game. Without Joey Bell. George Win was

783
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 1: their starting running back. Here, Patrick, what's going on with

784
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 1: their offensive line? Yeah, that's the crazy thing. They were

785
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 1: so good last year. Sims in the middle is just

786
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,360
Speaker 1: getting destroyed. I couldn't imagine Pile Williams actually played the

787
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 1: build in this game. What would have happened. The interior

788
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,840
Speaker 1: is just getting destroyed. The right tackle position has been

789
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: an issue all year. That that Ladrian Waddle returned and

790
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 1: he struggled from a caff injury. He had multiple penalties.

791
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:18,360
Speaker 1: They just can't keep the interior intact for Stafford, wait, Patrick,

792
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: So they bring in Caldwell, and we have about five

793
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: hundred and twelve posts on NFL dot Com and the

794
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 1: offset offseason saying how we fixed Matthew Stafford. His footwork

795
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:33,360
Speaker 1: is better. Let's it's so far before this week. Hold on,

796
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 1: but this whole offense, the whole problem all last year

797
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 1: was an inability to live up to their talent. And

798
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,320
Speaker 1: so where are we? What is your grade for Caldwell

799
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:47,839
Speaker 1: coming out of Week five boring. I can't I can't

800
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,800
Speaker 1: kill Caldwell for for Calvin Johnson's ankle injury. Did we

801
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 1: get a grade? No? Three and two? What is that? No?

802
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 1: Not a record? Give him a B A grade that

803
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 1: eb minus. I'm like the offensive line wasn't supposed to

804
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 1: be concerned coming in the season. They kept the offense

805
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 1: Washburn offensive line coach from last year, Little Washburn, and

806
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 1: this wasn't supposed to be with The issue was and Stafford,

807
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:14,319
Speaker 1: to his credit, he isn't forcing balls and I think

808
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 1: that was what came into play today was a couple

809
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 1: of the text. He was holding the ball alonger, not

810
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:21,320
Speaker 1: forcing it into play, trying to avoid that stupid interception. Patra,

811
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:26,399
Speaker 1: I'm disappointed in you for what you said that Jim

812
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 1: Schwartz deserved to be carried off the field. What an

813
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: egotist he tells his own guys, I want to be

814
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 1: carried off the field to get to like sticking in

815
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 1: the face of the team that fired him like that

816
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:41,359
Speaker 1: is ridiculous. It's a disgrace. That doesn't bother me one bit,

817
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 1: not not even for a second. He's doing a great job.

818
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:46,760
Speaker 1: We thought, we thought Mike Patton leaving there and Shwarts

819
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 1: coming in would be a problem, and they lost a

820
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: lot of talent and that Bill's defense is one of

821
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:52,839
Speaker 1: the best in the league. And they deserved they kind

822
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 1: have deserved another win. They said, they've been an impressive

823
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 1: team so far. Other than their quarterback. We haven't even

824
00:42:57,160 --> 00:43:02,400
Speaker 1: talked about Kyle or what's up with Orton. He actually

825
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 1: looked good. I mean, he completed just a hair under

826
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 1: sevent He threw a terrible pick sticks early and you thought, well,

827
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:14,479
Speaker 1: gear goes another another backup quarterback sucking. But he turned

828
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:16,360
Speaker 1: it around in the second half, and you're the difference

829
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 1: between him and EJ. Manuel is he wasn't afraid to

830
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:21,840
Speaker 1: stretch the field. He made a phenomenal deet ball on

831
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: the tying touchdown drive, and he found Sammy Watkins multiple times.

832
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins was unguardable in the second half, and that

833
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 1: was a difference that was completely different, the difference and West.

834
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 1: That's something you had said that Sammy Watkins maybe have

835
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:39,839
Speaker 1: the most to gain from e J Manuel being out

836
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:42,439
Speaker 1: of his life. Kevin Patrick, thank you very much bout

837
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 1: it all right, appreciate foos all right, Yeah, you know

838
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 1: who deserves to get carried off the field. The Big

839
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 1: Tuna in Pasadena and eight seven. You know you gotta

840
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 1: win something substantial to get carried off the field. I

841
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 1: agree with that total age of entitlement, where you've set

842
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 1: something up three months ago for your players to carry

843
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 1: you away from a game. How about get to the

844
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 1: NFC like it Finally, good things happening to good people.

845
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:15,360
Speaker 1: The buddy Ryan, that's the decordinator that gets so Patrick

846
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:17,839
Speaker 1: was gonna disagree with me. He's gonna say, he says

847
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:20,440
Speaker 1: this is what he wants. That's a hurt Lions fan

848
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:22,800
Speaker 1: right there. He doesn't like that one bit. He's too braves,

849
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:24,840
Speaker 1: too proud. That's why he's been in many fights because

850
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 1: he keeps it all inside and he explodes on his enemies.

851
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:35,400
Speaker 1: The New York Jets became the first team in the

852
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 1: NFL to be shut out this season. Dominated in all

853
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,399
Speaker 1: phases of the game and the thirty one nothing lost

854
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 1: to the Chargers. Philip Rivers continued his lights out play

855
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 1: and Brandon Out Oliver and undrafted Bridgent out of Buffalo

856
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:52,440
Speaker 1: looked like a evolutionary Ladania. Thomlinson with a d two

857
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 1: total yards and two touchdowns against the Jets defense that

858
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:58,959
Speaker 1: had previously stonewalled the likes of Matt Forte, Reggie Bush

859
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 1: and Edie Lays and Uh. The big takeaway on the

860
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 1: Jet side, Geno was the benched after two quarters. Michael

861
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 1: Vick went in played the second half, did not do

862
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 1: any better. Rex Ryan announced after the game that Geno

863
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 1: Smith will will be the start of Week six against

864
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 1: the Broncos. I'm sure that will go very well. Uh, guys.

865
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 1: The Jets were out gained by the Chargers four hundred

866
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:23,759
Speaker 1: and thirty nine to one fifty three. They didn't get

867
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:26,840
Speaker 1: the ball past midfield until late in the fourth quarter,

868
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:29,359
Speaker 1: midway through the fourth quarter, and that only happened because

869
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 1: of a penalty. Uh. One of the low points of

870
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:35,840
Speaker 1: the Rex Ryan era today in San Diego. They didn't

871
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 1: cross midfield until deep into the fourth quarter. That that

872
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:41,719
Speaker 1: final total yardist thing is misleading. They had sixty three

873
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:43,879
Speaker 1: going into the fourth quarter. I can't remember the last

874
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 1: time I saw that they had twenty passing yards going

875
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 1: into the fourth quarter, right, I mean, this was as

876
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 1: bad as it gets. Geno Smith was on the field

877
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 1: for six possessions uh in the first half, four punts,

878
00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 1: a killer fumble by Chris Johnson. Uh, that's set up

879
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 1: another touchdown for San Diego. And then he donal through

880
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 1: an interception. Kind of a desperation heave at the end

881
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:08,759
Speaker 1: of the first half, and Ryan had seen enough. He

882
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 1: put in Vic and Vic frankly, Uh looked extremely rusty.

883
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 1: He looked like a guy that wasn't necessarily ready to play.

884
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:18,440
Speaker 1: And he didn't do any better. I mean he he

885
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 1: was one of ten for seven yards going into their

886
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 1: last possession. I believe I'd because he ended up at

887
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:25,800
Speaker 1: two point five yards for tempted. I'd be concerned about

888
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 1: the Jets because well, you should be, Mark Well, No,

889
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:31,239
Speaker 1: because last year they You're gonna lose a sandwich on him.

890
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:33,440
Speaker 1: He said they were gonna have a winning record. I did.

891
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 1: I'd like a lot of port I don't know, you

892
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 1: know what, at this point, I'm not even sure why

893
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 1: I'm getting a paycheck because it's all going to sandwiches

894
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:46,040
Speaker 1: swich game. He's so bad at it. Here's the thing.

895
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:50,839
Speaker 1: New York last year saved Rex Ryan's job by being

896
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 1: frisky down the stretch and doing what Rex Ryan does. Well,

897
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:56,279
Speaker 1: the opposite is happening right now, and now you gotta

898
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:58,879
Speaker 1: go and deal with Peyton Manning and the Broncos coming

899
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 1: in or chaos. It's it's just not going well. Here's

900
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 1: the that is. This is that this team is about.

901
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 1: I mean, they have great front line. We know that

902
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 1: they have no quarterback. They have two quarterbacks, but really

903
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 1: no quarterbacks. Uh. They have a bad secondary, not a

904
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:19,319
Speaker 1: professional grade secondary. And frankly and Rex, Ryan's in deep

905
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:22,880
Speaker 1: trouble now because they they have the Broncos at home

906
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 1: next week, then then the Patriots on the road on

907
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 1: a short week, they very easily could be staring at

908
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:31,720
Speaker 1: one and six, uh something. I don't think Rex will survive.

909
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:33,879
Speaker 1: I think at the end of the season you'll see

910
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:36,280
Speaker 1: him sent his way and be a successful defensive coordinator

911
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 1: somewhere next year, I think, well or maybe maybe somebody

912
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:41,880
Speaker 1: will hire him. But uh, you know, I think we're

913
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 1: heading down a very bad place. And this was this

914
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 1: was just the bottom point for the Jets. There's really

915
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:50,839
Speaker 1: nothing that Everything that John Izick failed at is has

916
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:54,400
Speaker 1: come to the surface immediately, um including their inability to

917
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:57,719
Speaker 1: get playmakers. Eric Decker was inactive and without him that

918
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 1: offense nobody gets open. I was just gonna that is

919
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 1: Eric Decker a Jena piece on this team. I guess

920
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:06,919
Speaker 1: he is because he got hurt in the third quarter,

921
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 1: I believe against the Packers, and ever since that moment,

922
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 1: I know he played. He played last week a good deal,

923
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 1: but he hasn't been the same guy since that. The

924
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 1: offenses went downhill, and uh, you know, Geno Smith will

925
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:21,440
Speaker 1: start next week, but I think he's basically used up

926
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:24,440
Speaker 1: all his rope now, so he's on a quarter by

927
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:26,880
Speaker 1: quarter basis. I would think at this point he wouldn't

928
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 1: help today. Eric Decker. He's not tackling Brandon Oliver, but

929
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:35,279
Speaker 1: byway easy with them. And everbody calmed down Brandon Oliver too,

930
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 1: because you just call them the evolutionary. They made him

931
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:41,279
Speaker 1: look like, is what I'm saying. That's not who he is.

932
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:44,759
Speaker 1: He said it here a couple of weeks ago, accessor

933
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 1: at some intrepid reporting this summer on Brandon Oliver there

934
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:52,279
Speaker 1: on the internet. Was I don't know we mentioned it

935
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:56,600
Speaker 1: or something. No, we talked to Chargers players when we

936
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:59,239
Speaker 1: went to the Cowboys Chargers game, and he said, I

937
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:02,239
Speaker 1: mean you did. They said he's the hardest working, most

938
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 1: impressive guy in the whole summer. So he's got a

939
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:07,560
Speaker 1: big effort. Guy. Yeah, well I would like this Jets team.

940
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:09,640
Speaker 1: It looked like they quit in this game, so I'd

941
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:12,320
Speaker 1: like clit on them either though it's the early the divisions,

942
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:15,480
Speaker 1: bad crazy things happen every year. Or the Chargers, the

943
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:18,799
Speaker 1: team of ETL. Look, I'm off for it. We want

944
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 1: to do we want to have a vote. Yeah, what's

945
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 1: not all right? I called to order a vote for

946
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 1: the Team of a t L. Here here, I don't

947
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 1: know what's next. Thank you, t D scrambling on the laptop. Greg, Yeah,

Speaker 1: You gotta get out fart with Philip. I'll go along

951
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:50,279
Speaker 1: with it. I won't hold it up formerly because this

952
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:56,799
Speaker 1: is an active session. You need to say yeah, ok yeah,

953
00:49:57,280 --> 00:49:59,879
Speaker 1: Mark Seler, Yeah, the Team of a t L ladies

00:49:59,880 --> 00:50:07,560
Speaker 1: and gentlemen, especially the San Diego Chargers. So they there'll

955
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:11,480
Speaker 1: be a big ballroom celebration where Ron Rivera will hand

956
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:15,719
Speaker 1: over the scepter the Team of a TL scepter to

957
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:18,120
Speaker 1: Mike McCoy and that is the team that we will

958
00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 1: get behind to get excited about this year. This is

959
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 1: one of the teams I would have gotten on in

960
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:24,880
Speaker 1: week one week two, So what are you, Dan? I know, oh,

961
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 1: I nominated. But that's good and they've they've lived up

962
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:29,839
Speaker 1: to what we thought and now Chris, you can enjoy

963
00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 1: the ride. A couple quick facts about the new team

964
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 1: of a CEO Benn and Oliver looks just like Dern Sproles.

965
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:37,840
Speaker 1: Where's his numbers? Same body type, all that jazz. Keenan

966
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:42,600
Speaker 1: Allen as you know, but seems to be a little

967
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 1: bit of a body language like the how's this? For

968
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:49,319
Speaker 1: a fact, Keenan Allen almost tried his rookie year because

969
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:51,800
Speaker 1: he wanted to pursue a Korean music and rap. I

970
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 1: didn't know that. Dwight his rookie year in the NFL

971
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:58,440
Speaker 1: or freshman year. He said after two games in the NFL,

972
00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 1: he hadn't played and he was thinking about retiring concentrate

973
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:12,239
Speaker 1: on his piano or whatnot. Too. They got a band there,

974
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:14,520
Speaker 1: maybe they could make some jumps to us guys. That's

975
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:18,040
Speaker 1: very good. So congratulations Chargers. I'm sure once word gets

976
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:20,640
Speaker 1: to the San Diego facility there won't be a lot

977
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:26,200
Speaker 1: of sleeping tonight. Put it that way. Colin Kaepernick through

978
00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:29,120
Speaker 1: for two one yards and a touchdown. Frank Gore, the

979
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:32,200
Speaker 1: Inconvenient Truths Still Alive ran for a hundred and seven

980
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:34,759
Speaker 1: yards in the San Francisco forty. Niners held on to

981
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:38,880
Speaker 1: beat the Kansas City Chief seventeen. On Sunday, Alex smith

982
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:41,840
Speaker 1: San Francisco homecoming ended on a sour note when he

983
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:45,520
Speaker 1: threw a game clinching interception grabbed by Parrish Cots in

984
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 1: the final minutes. Little kicker love, little shout out, Detroit

985
00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:51,440
Speaker 1: Lion fans will not want to hear this. Bill Dawson

986
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 1: went five to five on field goals, including two kicks

987
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:56,960
Speaker 1: from beyond fifty yards. That's how you win football games.

988
00:51:57,360 --> 00:52:01,960
Speaker 1: The Niners getting healthy. Give little credit to Jim Harbaugh

989
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:05,759
Speaker 1: with the stones to call a fake punt early in

990
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:08,879
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. I think it was about the twenty

991
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:12,239
Speaker 1: yard line, his own twenty uh eighty yards to go there,

992
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:14,279
Speaker 1: calls the fake punt, They pick it up and then

993
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 1: third down on the ensuing uh series there Brandon Lloyd

994
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:20,239
Speaker 1: made one of the best catches in the year to

995
00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:23,720
Speaker 1: keep the drive going. They go ahead on that very series.

996
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:26,600
Speaker 1: How did you find any Reeds coaching today? Oh? He

997
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 1: was a joke. He blew this game for him. They

998
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 1: kept calling throws on third and one. You're just sour

999
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:35,520
Speaker 1: by the way, because this was your hero pick and

1000
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:37,600
Speaker 1: you were pulling hard for it. I was I wanted,

1001
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:41,040
Speaker 1: of course, but it was has to be frustrating. Third

1002
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:43,479
Speaker 1: and one. You got Jamal Charles averaging over five yards

1003
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:46,279
Speaker 1: of pop. You keep calling these complicated pass plays that

1004
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 1: get deflected at the line of scrimmage. You punt the

1005
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:52,239
Speaker 1: ball on the thirty six yard line on fourth and

1006
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:57,879
Speaker 1: four in the fourth quarter. Congratulations, You've got sixteen yards

1007
00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 1: of field position there. Andy, That's outrageous. And that was

1008
00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:04,160
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. And then the defense finally made

1009
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:07,839
Speaker 1: a stop. The forty niners are going to attempt another

1010
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:10,480
Speaker 1: fifty plus yard field goal with about five minutes left,

1011
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:12,840
Speaker 1: and there's twelve men on the field for the Chiefs,

1012
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 1: and that penalty just destroyed Kansas City because they lost

1013
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:18,399
Speaker 1: all their time outs, They lost three minutes of game time.

1014
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:20,680
Speaker 1: They set up a chip shot. At that point, it

1015
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:23,520
Speaker 1: was desperation time for Smith and and he didn't come through.

1016
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:27,200
Speaker 1: Called Kaepernick, would you see? He was good for the

1017
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:29,480
Speaker 1: most part, the same thing as we've seen all year,

1018
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:31,600
Speaker 1: where he'll miss a couple of big plays and not

1019
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 1: see the receivers there, but the running games really going.

1020
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:37,840
Speaker 1: I mean, we said Inconvenient Truth is back, He's back this.

1021
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:40,759
Speaker 1: I thought this was overall the most impressive game that

1022
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:42,719
Speaker 1: the forty Niners played all year because I think they

1023
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:44,880
Speaker 1: got the Chief's best shot and they sort of took it.

1024
00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:46,680
Speaker 1: It was I think it was a well played game

1025
00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 1: by both teams for the most part, and they came

1026
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:52,520
Speaker 1: through Greg the Boss Rosenthal. Three out of five weekends

1027
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:55,239
Speaker 1: when you've come into the newsroom and Kevin Patrick and

1028
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:58,000
Speaker 1: I have been in the mornings, and uh, three out

1029
00:53:58,040 --> 00:54:02,279
Speaker 1: of five we've written damage en disturbing reports coming from

1030
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:06,680
Speaker 1: NFL media insider Ian Rappaport basically saying there's so much

1031
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:11,759
Speaker 1: chaos and disunity swirling around this team that it's it

1032
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what they do. He's not gonna be around

1033
00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 1: after this season. I mean, do you can they can? He?

1034
00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:18,120
Speaker 1: Is that nonsense? Not that it's nonsense, but could he

1035
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 1: changes fate? I tend to believe Ian and everything swirling

1036
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 1: around that he's not going to be back, But I

1037
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:26,520
Speaker 1: don't think that means that they'll have a bad season

1038
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 1: necessarily But isn't that that's gloomy, It's weird. He said,

1039
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:34,120
Speaker 1: I love the way he talks. Though they asked him

1040
00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:36,759
Speaker 1: about you know, Jay Glazer and Fox Today said he

1041
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 1: sees no scenario even if they won the Super Bowl,

1042
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:41,719
Speaker 1: Carbo wouldn't be back. They asked Harbo about that, and

1043
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:44,920
Speaker 1: he said, my destiny is in this locker room with

1044
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 1: these men. And I like that he just he just

1045
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:51,800
Speaker 1: speaks in like aphorisms from like a dy R. Tolkien

1046
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:54,600
Speaker 1: novel or something. I mean it's a crazy ninja or

1047
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:57,959
Speaker 1: something from like eighties. Well, and they have to shut

1048
00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:00,760
Speaker 1: out the world like that to even get through a season,

1049
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:03,800
Speaker 1: no matter what's going on. He read the excellent Hardball

1050
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:07,320
Speaker 1: piece by Seth Wickersham. Yeah, none of that would surprise you.

1051
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:10,800
Speaker 1: That this guy. It reminded me of Gary smithle feature

1052
00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 1: on Mike Tyson. If he gets too comfortable, he has

1053
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:17,800
Speaker 1: to create chaos for himself. You can't allow yourself to

1054
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:20,960
Speaker 1: get that comfortable, and in Hardball doesn't right. He seems

1055
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:22,960
Speaker 1: to thrive in it, and he seems to love this

1056
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:26,160
Speaker 1: total insanity. And who knows. I mean, they're gonna get

1057
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:28,719
Speaker 1: all then Smith back, They're gonna get Bowman back. They've

1058
00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:31,520
Speaker 1: they've survived this stretch against some pretty good teams and

1059
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:33,920
Speaker 1: starting to play a little better. Yeah, I wouldn't be

1060
00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:35,680
Speaker 1: shocked if they went on a role in won a

1061
00:55:35,719 --> 00:55:38,320
Speaker 1: bunch of games. I think maybe they're the talk of

1062
00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:41,000
Speaker 1: their demise could be premature. I think this Chief's team

1063
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:43,000
Speaker 1: is a pretty good team. But now they're in a

1064
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:46,800
Speaker 1: division with the team of the Chargers and the Broncos.

1065
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:49,040
Speaker 1: They're in a tough spot. And today kind of showed

1066
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:51,239
Speaker 1: it because Smith played really well, but they played with

1067
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:53,759
Speaker 1: such a small margin for air. If he makes a

1068
00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:55,560
Speaker 1: couple of mistakes, which he did in the fourth quarter.

1069
00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:58,080
Speaker 1: He missed two big throws, then they're sunk because they

1070
00:55:58,120 --> 00:56:01,000
Speaker 1: have no big plays other than that. All Right, that

1071
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:05,279
Speaker 1: takes us to Sunday Night Football. A lot of talk

1072
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:09,160
Speaker 1: this week, all week about the Patriots and the potential

1073
00:56:09,239 --> 00:56:11,920
Speaker 1: demise of the Patriots and Tom Brady. We can put

1074
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:15,000
Speaker 1: that all on pause, at least for from you listen.

1075
00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:18,160
Speaker 1: Society was talking about it. It doesn't matter anyway. Tom

1076
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:21,279
Speaker 1: Brady stepped up, delivered a great performance through for nearly

1077
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:24,319
Speaker 1: three hundred yards of two touchdowns. Gronk look great, had

1078
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:26,680
Speaker 1: his first one hundred yard games. It's coming back. Patriots

1079
00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:29,200
Speaker 1: jumped out to a fourteen nothing lead early and cruised

1080
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:33,000
Speaker 1: to a forty three to seventeen win over the Cincinnati

1081
00:56:33,120 --> 00:56:37,560
Speaker 1: Bengals at home in Foxboro. A nice win for a

1082
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:42,600
Speaker 1: Patriots team that really needed it. Uh after a tough week. Uh.

1083
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:47,239
Speaker 1: And Bill Belichick said on to Cincinnati, they went to Cincinnati,

1084
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:52,799
Speaker 1: or they hosted Cincinnati dominated him Patriots are live. Greg, Yeah,

1085
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:54,840
Speaker 1: you're the one that said they were saying on this

1086
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:59,840
Speaker 1: podcast this week. Oh, the Patriots dynasty's over. If you remember,

1087
00:56:59,880 --> 00:57:02,560
Speaker 1: I picked them, just like I picked thirteen out of fourteen.

1088
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:07,600
Speaker 1: We're gonna hold the press conference tomorrow to announce the

1089
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:12,160
Speaker 1: straight picks. That's the big takeaway from today. My big

1090
00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:16,240
Speaker 1: takeaway is that the Patriots too tight end offense is back. Yeah,

1091
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:20,000
Speaker 1: Tim right, finally in the mix that they had gone

1092
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:23,840
Speaker 1: from in two thousand eleven two tight end sets to

1093
00:57:25,080 --> 00:57:27,400
Speaker 1: last year, they had basically gotten rid of it. And

1094
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:30,720
Speaker 1: then they decided, since our wide receivers can't separate, why

1095
00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:34,440
Speaker 1: bother throwing them the ball? And they also ran the

1096
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:37,720
Speaker 1: ball really well, almost entirely up the middle. Finally just

1097
00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:40,440
Speaker 1: gave Stephen Ridley the ball we were talking about downstairs.

1098
00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:43,920
Speaker 1: I never understand why they don't just rely more on

1099
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:47,120
Speaker 1: Stephen Ridley because he's the second best runner they've had

1100
00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:50,120
Speaker 1: in the Belichick Eric behind Corey Dillon. He's just a

1101
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:54,560
Speaker 1: naturally talented, powerful runner. They only have so many guys

1102
00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:57,120
Speaker 1: that have plus athleticism. He's one of them. Just give

1103
00:57:57,200 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 1: him the ball and a touch for Ridley. And you

1104
00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:03,400
Speaker 1: know Tom Brady and his press conference. He came to

1105
00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:06,680
Speaker 1: the podium with in a weird sweater, but a nice car,

1106
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:10,040
Speaker 1: a glow to him and and as great as much

1107
00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:12,480
Speaker 1: as you're saying that maybe I was somehow driving the

1108
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 1: narrative about a lot of pressure on the pages, No,

1109
00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:17,040
Speaker 1: this was something that was all around Brady. He was

1110
00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:19,520
Speaker 1: being asked if he was on the decline At one

1111
00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:22,000
Speaker 1: point I saw a news conference and this You could

1112
00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:24,520
Speaker 1: tell his attitude on the field. He was excited about

1113
00:58:24,560 --> 00:58:27,440
Speaker 1: that fast start. He he was pumped up on the sideline.

1114
00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:29,400
Speaker 1: This is a big game for him. It was doubly

1115
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:33,479
Speaker 1: impressive coming against the Cincinnati defense that was so good

1116
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:37,840
Speaker 1: that they ranked number one in Football Outsiders total defense

1117
00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:41,600
Speaker 1: despite being thirty second against the run in their in

1118
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:44,360
Speaker 1: their manage, they couldn't have been any better. I think

1119
00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:46,120
Speaker 1: that was the most surprising thing in this game, how

1120
00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:50,000
Speaker 1: well they protected Brady sometimes had extra offensive lineman or

1121
00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:52,640
Speaker 1: tight ends. But even when they did dial up some

1122
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:56,080
Speaker 1: plays down the field, a lot of them too tight ends. Uh,

1123
00:58:56,400 --> 00:58:59,160
Speaker 1: you know, he got protected really well. And to me,

1124
00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:01,880
Speaker 1: it's just one game. It just shows they're capable of

1125
00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:06,160
Speaker 1: that sort of game, a five hundred yard performance against

1126
00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:08,919
Speaker 1: the quality upon They've had four weeks where they really

1127
00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:11,960
Speaker 1: haven't had one good offensive performance. This show is kind

1128
00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:14,080
Speaker 1: of like the Pittsburgh game that they had last year.

1129
00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:17,120
Speaker 1: They are capable of being explosive. We'll see how much

1130
00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:19,000
Speaker 1: it lasts, though, I mean on to Buffalo. I don't

1131
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:20,640
Speaker 1: know if they'll do that again. I don't think they went.

1132
00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:23,160
Speaker 1: And then on the other side of the ball, Cincinnati,

1133
00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:27,000
Speaker 1: we wes. You know you you talked about it a lot.

1134
00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:29,160
Speaker 1: It's all about what happens in January. With them. They

1135
00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:32,000
Speaker 1: have not stepped up when it counted in the playoffs,

1136
00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:36,360
Speaker 1: but they've also this continues a troubling trait that when

1137
00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:38,080
Speaker 1: they play in prime time as well, even in the

1138
00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:41,280
Speaker 1: regular season, they seem to lay eggs. And Andy Dalton

1139
00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:43,360
Speaker 1: was not good today. He padded his stats a little

1140
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:45,280
Speaker 1: bit in the back end of the game, just a bit,

1141
00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:49,240
Speaker 1: but he was not impressive, didn't play well. Our overseas

1142
00:59:49,320 --> 00:59:53,400
Speaker 1: listeners will recognize Dalton as a flat track bully cricket

1143
00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:57,120
Speaker 1: term for picking on easy teams. Dalton is two and

1144
00:59:57,240 --> 01:00:00,480
Speaker 1: eight now in his career in nationally televised game. That's

1145
01:00:00,520 --> 01:00:03,760
Speaker 1: not just him, that's the Bengals. He wasn't. He wasn't.

1146
01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:06,280
Speaker 1: He was far from the biggest problem tonight, but there

1147
01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:09,040
Speaker 1: were throws that he missed and they couldn't convert third downs.

1148
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:12,080
Speaker 1: So I I just want to see this team beat

1149
01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:13,720
Speaker 1: a good team. But he was also far from the

1150
01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:16,120
Speaker 1: reason they were three and now, because what you saw

1151
01:00:16,240 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 1: tonight is what I saw in the first three games,

1152
01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:21,400
Speaker 1: which is they're gonna ask them to make five to

1153
01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:24,520
Speaker 1: eight to ten tough throws outside the numbers, deep down

1154
01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:26,840
Speaker 1: the field, and in half of them don't even stay

1155
01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:29,640
Speaker 1: in bounds, and half of the rest of them don't

1156
01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:32,120
Speaker 1: get completed. And he struggled with those tough throws again.

1157
01:00:32,720 --> 01:00:35,920
Speaker 1: All right, So that's it for Sunday's action. Went through

1158
01:00:35,960 --> 01:00:38,200
Speaker 1: all the games. We have one more Monday night game

1159
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:41,520
Speaker 1: coming up. Seattle heading to Washington to face the Redskins,

1160
01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:44,320
Speaker 1: so that should be interesting. We will be back on

1161
01:00:44,680 --> 01:00:49,320
Speaker 1: Wednesday with more uh goodness, football goodness. TV Behind the

1171
01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:22,720
Speaker 1: a ranker. I should have thought about that before he

1172
01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:28,760
Speaker 1: stepped in the ring. I am uncomfortable. I will have

1173
