Speaker 2: All right, Hi, everybody, Raiders, hold on to beat the
Speaker 2: Packers in Las Vegas seventeen to thirteen before I get
Speaker 2: to tie dun Tyler Dunn at golongtv dot com and
Speaker 2: covering the Packers for a long time previously at the
Speaker 2: Milwaukee Journal, now has his own business. You know, I
Speaker 2: had a couple of observations. You know, I watched Matt Lafleur,
Speaker 2: the coach of the Packers. You know, I watch him
Speaker 2: on the sidelines watching Jordan Love, and it really hit
Speaker 2: me tonight. He looks like coach of the Packers looks
Speaker 2: like as he watches his young quarterback play. He looks
Speaker 2: like I did when my kids would pull out of
Speaker 2: the driveway right after they got their license. I was optimistic,
Speaker 2: but wasn't going to be surprised if something really bad happened,
Speaker 2: like a wreck. He doesn't call a game like he
Speaker 2: has a ton of confidence in Jordan love.
Speaker 1: Listen.
Speaker 2: He's not tier one guy. He's not going to be
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence, Herbert Mahomes, Burrow, Jalen Hurts. He's not get
Speaker 2: that out of there? Can he be a tier two guy?
Speaker 2: A Derek Carr, Dak Cousins. I think it's fifty to
Speaker 2: fifty take out that Bears game, and even in that
Speaker 2: game it was it was pretty choppy for one half.
Speaker 2: I don't see a lot of special. A very good
Speaker 2: source close to the Packers, who is very connected to
Speaker 2: many Green Bay Packer players, had told me he didn't
Speaker 2: see a lot of juice, a lot of special. You know,
Speaker 2: if he's a tier two guy, if he's Derek Carr,
Speaker 2: he's garoppolo. You who win playoff games surrounded by the
Speaker 2: right people, You're not going to carry a franchise. That's
Speaker 2: not the kind of talent he is. He wasn't that
Speaker 2: in high school. He wasn't that in college. I don't
Speaker 2: think after three years sitting behind Aaron Rodgers, now playing
Speaker 2: in his fourth year. I don't think he's that kind
Speaker 2: of talent. You know, he's got the size and he
Speaker 2: moves well. I don't think he makes great decisions so far.
Speaker 2: His last interception. Two of his interceptions were really bad.
Speaker 2: I'll give him a little bit of a break at
Speaker 2: the end of the game because you're trying to you're
Speaker 2: trying to make a play downfield. But the truth is,
Speaker 2: had the Raiders gone for it on fourth and one
Speaker 2: and sealed it up, he wouldn't have gotten the ball back.
Speaker 2: But there's not a lot to look at for me,
Speaker 2: you know again, Romeo Dobbs had a drop on that
Speaker 2: final drive. Unfortunate, but give me a break. Lamar Jackson,
Speaker 2: you know yesterday had a couple of drops in the
Speaker 2: end zone by his receivers. First couple of weeks. Trevor
Speaker 2: Lawrence Jags drop six seven balls per game. Mahomes gets
Speaker 2: balls drop too. You got to bake that in, right,
Speaker 2: You got to bake in a few holding calls every game,
Speaker 2: bake in a few drop passes. That's the reality of
Speaker 2: NFL football my entire life.
Speaker 1: So I listen.
Speaker 2: It's not like he doesn't have the physical ability. He's
Speaker 2: not mac Jones. He's not smaller than you'd like and immobile.
Speaker 2: He moves the ball comes off pretty quickly. His accuracy
Speaker 2: is so so, it's not great. It's so so, but
Speaker 2: not terrible. He doesn't look overwhelmed. At times, he looks
Speaker 2: a little uncertain and again, so much of what is
Speaker 2: attractive about brock Purdy is his decision making. Gets rid
Speaker 2: of it quick to the right spot. Tua gets rid
Speaker 2: of it quick to the right spot. You know tonight
Speaker 2: a Raiders team that doesn't create turnovers got three picks.
Speaker 2: Not great. So the wise guys like the Raiders. I
Speaker 2: like Green Bay. So did JMC and we were wrong.
Speaker 2: Let's bring in Ty Dunn at golongtv dot com. He's
Speaker 2: got thoughts, live in Buffalo. He wrote a piece this
Speaker 2: morning on the Bills, Jags and the Steeters win, so
Speaker 2: he'll talk about that as well. Let's bring him in

Speaker 2: Plus today for a limited time only. Now, limited time only, Tyler,
Speaker 2: I think one of the things I wrote down tonight
Speaker 2: that concern me with Aaron Jones out and not having
Speaker 2: a ton of success running the ball. At the end
Speaker 2: of the third quarter, Jordan Love only had fifteen attempts
Speaker 2: and nine completions. Garoppolo had eighteen completions on twenty seven throws.
Speaker 2: Telling me Josh McDaniels had more confidence in his quarterback
Speaker 2: than Matt Lafleur had in his That's what worries me.
Speaker 1: Again.
Speaker 2: I'd be okay with fifteen throws of Aaron's healthy and
Speaker 2: Dylan's rolling downhill. But it does look like that they're
Speaker 2: calling a pretty conservative game with him.
Speaker 1: Is that fair? I think so. Yeah.
Speaker 4: It was like the finally took shots. I think Christian
Speaker 4: Watson had like two targets. Middle of the fourth quarter
Speaker 4: or something like that. Yeah, I said this.
Speaker 2: It reminds me of one of my kids pulled out
Speaker 2: of the driveway when they first got their license. Like,
Speaker 2: I was hopeful, but if something bad happened, I wouldn't
Speaker 2: be shocked. Matt Lafleur looks almost uncertain and kind of
Speaker 2: tentative with him again. Fifteen pass attempts, nine completions at
Speaker 2: the end of the third Listen, two of the picks
Speaker 2: were bad, the deep ball. He's trying to make something happen.
Speaker 2: I don't want to be impatient. But one of the things,
Speaker 2: and it's such a crucial part of playing quarterback, is
Speaker 2: just quick, decisive decision making. C J. Stroud has been
Speaker 2: really good, really quickly, and c J. Stroud Game one
Speaker 2: got Baltimore, I mean really quick, see it, let it rip,
Speaker 2: and the seeing it part. Justin Fields has struggled, Zach
Speaker 2: Wilson has struggled.
Speaker 1: C J.
Speaker 2: Stroud hasn't. Jordan Love feels like a little bit struggling.
Speaker 2: I can't explain it. Some guys see the field, some
Speaker 2: guys don't see. J. Stroud's almost been remarkable in his ability.
Speaker 2: I he got not much in camp Baltimore Ravens opener,
Speaker 2: defensive coach, first time play caller. Get it done, kid,
Speaker 2: and you can see he sees the field when you
Speaker 2: talk to you know, packers and sometimes anonymously. Is what
Speaker 2: you're seeing surprising or is this kind of what you
Speaker 2: were told?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I think that they knew. I think they knew there'd
Speaker 4: be growing pains, but didn't It just seem so disjointed
Speaker 4: everything like the first first second drive, Like Matt Laflora
Speaker 4: is chewing out Luke Musgrave. You don't have Aaron Jones,
Speaker 4: which that changes a lot. He's your best player. David Baktiari,
Speaker 4: he's done. Romeo Dobbs was invisible for a stretch. Christian
Speaker 4: Watson had two targets in the middle of the fourth quarter.
Speaker 4: There's drop even if you look at those two deep
Speaker 4: shots too. The one deep shot to Christian Watson, it
Speaker 4: looked like Watson might have timed it off a little bit,
Speaker 4: but it hit his fingertips. Love throws it from his
Speaker 4: twenty to the other twenty, and then he just flat
Speaker 4: out miss Watson on another deep deep shot. So when
Speaker 4: you're to your point, when you're not just hitting receivers
Speaker 4: in rhythm of the offense and spitting the ball out.
Speaker 1: You've got to be relying on those big plays.
Speaker 4: So it's a pretty bad mix when you when you
Speaker 4: can't get in a rhythm and you're not seeing it
Speaker 4: quickly and you're not hitting those big plays, just as
Speaker 4: like a mess of a game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's the one thing I've I said last
Speaker 2: week on FS one or two weeks ago. The disturbing
Speaker 2: thing is because he hasn't played much, it feels like
Speaker 2: it takes him a while to get in rhythm. And
Speaker 2: you know, some guys are ready to go. Some quarterbacks
Speaker 2: are very good, rock pretty very good out of the shoot,
Speaker 2: and other quarterbacks guys that are not as active, they
Speaker 2: just they don't Like I feel like Jordan's like he
Speaker 2: like starts a basketball game, and it just he needed
Speaker 2: to be on the stationary bike, like he needs to
Speaker 2: be ready to go, and he's out of rhythm, which
Speaker 2: means he lacks a certain confidence. The other thing that's
Speaker 2: a little disturbing is when you have an offensive coach,
Speaker 2: generally speaking, it's an advantage to have extra time. So
Speaker 2: they didn't play last Thursday, so they had extra time.
Speaker 2: So by the way, Detroit had extra time and played
Speaker 2: yesterday and how good did their offense look? It was tricks,
Speaker 2: it was deception, it was physicality. So the Lions and
Speaker 2: Ben Johnson with extra time, it was a master's class.
Speaker 2: The Packers had an extra day. They go from a
Speaker 2: Thursday to a Monday and completely disjointed. And Tyler with
Speaker 2: an offensive coach, now it's different. Defensive coaches tend to
Speaker 2: be more motivators. It's about blowing stuff up. You know,
Speaker 2: your Tomlins, your Sean McDermott's. Extra time may not be
Speaker 2: as crucial, but for offensive coaches. Andy Reid in September, like,
Speaker 2: I got extra time in a Monday, and that's it
Speaker 2: against the Raider team that had struggled to take the
Speaker 2: ball away.
Speaker 1: Like this is the first time.
Speaker 2: If you're a Packer fan, you kind of come out
Speaker 2: and you say this ain't great, right, Like it's not good.
Speaker 4: You know you've got a plotting AJ Dillon giving you
Speaker 4: three yards and a cloud of dust. Your top receiver
Speaker 4: didn't start the season.
Speaker 1: You're still without Aaron Jones.
Speaker 4: Here, it's on the coach to your point to scheme
Speaker 4: some stuff up and you see it like, I don't
Speaker 4: want to sit here and make excuses I mean every
Speaker 4: team to some extent is dealing with injuries to the
Speaker 4: offensive line, to their skill position players. We look at
Speaker 4: the Houston Texans, I mean they're down four starters on
Speaker 4: the offensive line. But with Bobby Slowick, you know, a
Speaker 4: Green Bay native himself at offensive coordinator, He's plucked from
Speaker 4: the Shanahan tree. I mean, everything is in rhythm and CJ.
Speaker 4: Stroud is seeing it. It's first read, second read, balls out.
Speaker 4: I don't know what the problem is. I mean it's
Speaker 4: probably a combination of Lafleur and the game plan being
Speaker 4: pretty uninspiring. You've got to just get the ball to
Speaker 4: a six ' four fast dude like Christian Watson on
Speaker 4: a wide receiver screen. Just just give Jordan Love an
Speaker 4: easy completion, get that body that can move fast rolling downhill.
Speaker 4: There was none of that. But Love has to see
Speaker 4: them feel better too, you know. I think he'll get it.
Speaker 4: I think with reps, with starts, with time, this stuff
Speaker 4: can be learned. Because we have seen the Josh Allens
Speaker 4: and the Jalen hurts Is prove accuracy start to see
Speaker 4: the field better with their private quarterback coaches in the offseason,
Speaker 4: with their NFL coaches during the season.
Speaker 1: It does take time for some guys.
Speaker 4: But we have seen that play that you kind of
Speaker 4: referenced earlier, where it's like there's a slant, it's open.
Speaker 4: Jordan Love seems to be looking at it, but he's
Speaker 4: just not hitting it. He's holding the ball, he's getting sacked.
Speaker 4: He's trying to make something happen. Steve Calhoun is his
Speaker 4: private quarterbacks coach since eighth grade. We had him on
Speaker 4: our podcast to go along and I asked him about
Speaker 4: that play. It was the same thing against Detroit last week,
Speaker 4: and we saw it against the Vegas Raiders here tonight
Speaker 4: and he said, you know, Jordan Love, he's got so
Speaker 4: much processing and said, pre snap, he's thinking so much
Speaker 4: through that.
Speaker 1: I think he thinks that he's forgetting.
Speaker 4: Okay, post snap, that play that you think is guaranteed
Speaker 4: to be covered, that isn't going to be there. Everything
Speaker 4: can change in a flash and it might be right
Speaker 4: there and just take your layup. Maybe with more reps,
Speaker 4: more starts, he starts to make the easy play because
Speaker 4: they're there.
Speaker 1: I mean they are there for the pickens.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's listening. Garoppolo is now forty two and nineteen
Speaker 2: is a starter and when I watched tonight, one of
Speaker 2: the notes I wrote down was for all the limitations
Speaker 2: of Garoppolo athletically, and he doesn't throw a great deep ball.
Speaker 2: Garoppolo very confidently and quickly lets it rip, and he'll
Speaker 2: throw that ball right on a line, right into traffic.
Speaker 2: He had a couple of big throws tonight. He's forty
Speaker 2: two and nineteen. And with Jordan, what I see is uncertainty,
Speaker 2: is he's not quite sure. His accuracy's hit and miss,
Speaker 2: mostly hit. A couple of misses tonight. But I guess
Speaker 2: I guess my takeaway right now. I said, because he
Speaker 2: sat for three years, I'm not giving him two years.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna wait until Thanksgiving. I'll have kind of a feel.
Speaker 2: He's clearly not a Tier one guy. Can he be
Speaker 2: a Derek Carr, a Tua? Can he be a Dak
Speaker 2: of Cousins. I'm fifty to fifty on it. I think
Speaker 2: physically he's got the tools, but so much of this
Speaker 2: sport is just seeing process. I watched Zach Wilson, you know,
Speaker 2: his last couple of starts, it's kind of hopeful, But
Speaker 2: for two years, I swear he just couldn't see the field.
Speaker 2: He just opened stuff, couldn't see it. So you cross
Speaker 2: your fingers. Jordan Love Packers lose seventeen thirteen. Okay, so
Speaker 2: you also you're in Buffalo. You wrote a piece on
Speaker 2: the Bill's Jags, and it's interesting because you cover the
Speaker 2: Steeters defensive culture, defensive coach, and the Bills similarly. And
Speaker 2: I've come to terms with what Buffalo is. So defensive
Speaker 2: teams and defensive cultures tend to be teams that are
Speaker 2: very emotional. Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Seattle. You don't get quite the
Speaker 2: consistency of game plans. I kind of feel like the
Speaker 2: Rams offense when Joe Burrow's healthy Kansas City, I kind
Speaker 2: of get the same thing. It's an offensive coach, it's choreographed.
Speaker 2: When I watch these defensive teams, and Buffalo and Pittsburgh
Speaker 2: come to mind, it just depends on the Sunday. Pittsburgh
Speaker 2: has been awful or very good, Buffalo's been tremendous or
Speaker 2: a mess. And I almost think that now is Buffalo's
Speaker 2: brand is that it's I always said they have the
Speaker 2: Tyson quality. If they're fighting downhill, if they make the
Speaker 2: guy wobble early, it's over. They have got an ability
Speaker 2: to bury you, but Buffalo from behind. Josh Allen struggles
Speaker 2: it's overseas, they're out of sync, Like it just had
Speaker 2: a feel the whole game had to feel like we're
Speaker 2: just we want to be home.
Speaker 1: This isn't this doesn't feel. I mean that's how it
Speaker 1: felt for me.
Speaker 2: You covered it your thoughts.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And he spent a lot of time over the
Speaker 4: off season planning out this trip right, consulting with the
Speaker 4: sports science experts and how does the body clock work?
Speaker 4: How are you going to adjust to London time? And
Speaker 4: I believe they flew out Thursday night and woke up
Speaker 4: for a Friday practice and they looked like a team
Speaker 4: sleepwalking on Sunday. I mean they look like a team
Speaker 4: that was completely jet lagged, that wasn't ready, like the
Speaker 4: Jacksonville Jaguars were a team that was there right the
Speaker 4: game before and has been playing out there for twelve
Speaker 4: thirteen years.
Speaker 1: So that's a factor, but it's also an.
Speaker 4: Excuse like they they've got to win that game and
Speaker 4: there's enough blame to go around. We're going to see
Speaker 4: how much metal Sean McDermott really has as a defensive mind.
Speaker 4: When you don't have Tradavius White. You don't have Matt Mulano.
Speaker 4: I think, next to Josh Allen and Stefan Diggs, Milano
Speaker 4: has been the most indispensable player on that roster, just
Speaker 4: every bit worthy of that first team All Pro last season.
Speaker 1: But people here in Western New York have been praising
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott for.
Speaker 4: Nature and oh Leslie Fraser was too passive and you
Speaker 4: know he was sitting DB's back. Well, if you think
Speaker 4: that Sean McDermott didn't have anything to do with the
Speaker 4: defense the last seven years, well there's some real estate
Speaker 4: for you and Antart to get to buy. He did.
Speaker 4: But that was the change. He's more aggressive. What happened
Speaker 4: at the end of that game. Trevor Lawrence sees that
Speaker 4: Micah Hyde, an aging safety, is one on one with
Speaker 4: Kelvin Ridley, and the slot just gives them a signal,
Speaker 4: sends them up the sideline, burns them thirty one thirty
Speaker 4: two yards game over. So that aggressiveness, it can be
Speaker 4: a good thing, but against these elite quarterbacks, it can
Speaker 4: come back to bite yet and it did in that game.
Speaker 4: So now McDermott doesn't have some studs on defense, They've
Speaker 4: got no running game. They had like what fifteen yards
Speaker 4: rushing from their running backs?
Speaker 1: Non existent?
Speaker 2: I mean, this is six years now of no running game.
Speaker 2: Like at some point this is again McVeigh, Shanahan, Mike
Speaker 2: McDaniel offensive coaches. They don't go six years without a
Speaker 2: run game, right, Like, I mean, Pittsburgh, how many years
Speaker 2: no run game?
Speaker 1: Buffalo?
Speaker 2: How many years no run game? By the way, Dante
Speaker 2: Scarnika left for New England. Now Bill Belichick, they've got
Speaker 2: no run game, Like I think it's this is not
Speaker 2: I don't believe in coincidence the top rated old lines
Speaker 2: in the NFL or virtually all offensive coaches, and I
Speaker 2: want to pivot to Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh is three and two,
Speaker 2: which is they feel one in four, like the fan
Speaker 2: base is unhappy.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: One of the things that really jumps out to me.
Speaker 2: I was told for years they didn't like drafting University
Speaker 2: of Pittsburgh kids because if they didn't make it, they'd
Speaker 2: have to get rid of them. And they share facility,
Speaker 2: right Pittsburgh. The Roonies are just embedded in that community,
Speaker 2: and they didn't want to draft Pittsburgh kids and cut
Speaker 2: them or trade them. They're going to keep Kenny Pickett
Speaker 2: around for years. They're not going to bail on Kenny Pickett,
Speaker 2: a first round quarterback. They're not going to do it
Speaker 2: to that kid. And I got to tell you, Ty,
Speaker 2: I don't see it. I just don't see it. I
Speaker 2: think I think there was an era where you could
Speaker 2: play great defense and hit one or two big throws
Speaker 2: over the top. I just don't think this is the era.
Speaker 2: I think that that's a nine win team. Let's be honest.
Speaker 2: Their defense will win eight games. It will overwhelm bad
Speaker 2: quarterbacks right Like, It's just it's like San Francisco. It's
Speaker 2: just gonna overwhelm Josh Dops. So just some guys just
Speaker 2: you have to be special. I mean, Dak got overwhelmed
Speaker 2: yesterday by the Niners defense. So Pittsburgh's gonna have a
Speaker 2: winning record. But I mean, you cover this team, you
Speaker 2: know the personnel, Like in the building, do you think
Speaker 2: they think Kenny Pickett's the guy? Six years, no run game.
Speaker 1: I kind of love Kenny Pickett. I think there's something to.
Speaker 4: A quarterback who just when everything's on the line, steps
Speaker 4: up to that moment, like wants that moment even if
Speaker 4: everything was going wrong in that Baltimore game, everything was
Speaker 4: going wrong.
Speaker 1: I mean, the Fire Canada chance were so loud.
Speaker 4: Somebody in the stadium put this out there on X
Speaker 4: that the team pivoted to like a military tribute, almost
Speaker 4: to just try to shut everybody. It was that bad
Speaker 4: and justifiably so. I mean, they just can't really function
Speaker 4: on offense for stretches, and Kenny Pickett looked bad. You know,
Speaker 4: Aaron Throws not really finding George Pickens, who's a freak,
Speaker 4: But give him this when he had an opportunity late
Speaker 4: and he did it at Pitt time and time again.
Speaker 4: He had an opportunity similar to Trevor Lawrence when he
Speaker 4: spotted Micah Hyde one on one Calvin Ridley. They see
Speaker 4: Marlin Humphrey one on one over George Pickens. The Ravens
Speaker 4: are expecting them just to try to inch their way
Speaker 4: in the field goal range. Gives them the audible, sends
Speaker 4: them deep delivers. So I feel like there's quarterbacks who
Speaker 4: have that, and there's quarterbacks who shrivel in that moment.
Speaker 4: Those primetime records for the Kirk Cousins and the Daniel Jones,
Speaker 4: I think there's something to that. So some quarterbacks they
Speaker 4: want that moment, and some just.
Speaker 1: Don't or they don't play well in that moment.
Speaker 4: Being around ken people close to him, he genuinely wants it,
Speaker 4: and I think he does have the ability to raise
Speaker 4: his own ceiling. I was it's the play calling going
Speaker 4: to get in his way, the play design going to
Speaker 4: get in his way. My God, get the ball to
Speaker 4: Jalen Warren. I don't know, yes, why he hasn't featured
Speaker 4: more often. So there are they've got to buy a week.
Speaker 4: It comes at a good time. They're in first place.
Speaker 4: I'm a Mike Tomlin apologist. I just feel like what
Speaker 4: he has built there, it weeds out the week.
Speaker 1: It's true attrition.
Speaker 4: They've got players built for December that they could be
Speaker 4: three and seven, four, that they're going to find a
Speaker 4: way to get to five hundred. To your point, can
Speaker 4: they be more than that? Can they be more than
Speaker 4: an eight win team? A nine win team? I think
Speaker 4: that the Pickett Pickens connection alone can get you there.
Speaker 2: I think this could be special. One more thing I
Speaker 2: want to address. You do a podcast with Brett farre
Speaker 2: and you're you had a conversation about Brock Purdy. Now,
Speaker 2: I mean, nobody would deny that Kyle Shanahan, and those
Speaker 2: weapons are a humongous advantage. I mean, be honest, if
Speaker 2: Dak was on the Niners with Dak's contract, you couldn't
Speaker 2: have afforded Christian McCaffrey or Fred Warner or probably one
Speaker 2: of your pass rushers. It would not be the same team.
Speaker 2: What makes this truly special is you can miss on
Speaker 2: a tray Lance because when you hit on the last
Speaker 2: guy in the draft, mister irrelevant or not, he's a
Speaker 2: free quarterback for four years. He's literally free. And so
Speaker 2: you have two Pro Bowl linebackers, and I mean it's incredible.
Speaker 2: Brandon Ayuk has become a one. So it's a Yuk
Speaker 2: de Boat Kittle Christian. It's insane. So I have I
Speaker 2: have whereas Dak Prescott. I've seen him with a great
Speaker 2: O line, a deteriorating O line. I've seen him with
Speaker 2: Zeke and now just Tony Pollard. I've seen him with
Speaker 2: a Maury and Gallop uh, and now I've seen him
Speaker 2: with CD Lamb. I've seen him, uh, you know, a
Speaker 2: Dak with a Dalton Schultz and cde lamp and now
Speaker 2: I just see him with Ceede Lamb. Who can you
Speaker 2: can roll the coverage over there's I don't think it's
Speaker 2: a great supporting cast. I think they're we get tight end.
Speaker 2: I think they're okay at running back. The online is good,
Speaker 2: it's not special. But with brock Purty, I've only seen
Speaker 2: him with a great coach and great weapons. My guess
Speaker 2: is he's a good quarterback. He's in the B class,
Speaker 2: maybe a B minus I have. But Farv, I mean,
Speaker 2: what's what's what does he say? What does he see?
Speaker 4: Yeah, he loves brock Purty, and he brought up a conversation.
Speaker 4: He talks to Ron Wolf about twice a month still
Speaker 4: obviously the Hall of Fame general manager who traded for
Speaker 4: Brett Farv when everybody thought he was nuts stuff the
Speaker 4: packers were giving up for shrub pickups and his way
Speaker 4: out of Atlanta, and Bret Brett told some stories from
Speaker 4: those days too. It was it was rough. I mean,
Speaker 4: he knows he could have been. It never was with
Speaker 4: how he was living. But Ron Wolf traded for Brett
Speaker 4: Farv and you know he far failed as physical. They
Speaker 4: told him like but this condition he had that he'll
Speaker 4: be out of the league in three years, and Rod
Speaker 4: Wolf didn't care. He traded for him. Wanted him because
Speaker 4: he just saw an it factor to him. He really
Speaker 4: was a winner. He knew guys would rally around him,
Speaker 4: want to play for him, want to fight for him.
Speaker 4: And watching Brock Purty, Brett Brett sees that the same
Speaker 4: kind of stuff that guys just they elevate their play
Speaker 4: for him. And it's always hard to put your finger
Speaker 4: on it because it can sound cliche and corny, but
Speaker 4: it matters in pro football. I mean, there are quarterbacks
Speaker 4: and Brett's has said this too in the NFL when
Speaker 4: he played, and today, guys don't want to run through
Speaker 4: a wall for you. I mean they might say nice
Speaker 4: things about you in the press, but when it's the
Speaker 4: fourth quarter and they don't, they don't give that little extra,
Speaker 4: is the way Brett put it. He thinks those forty
Speaker 4: nine ers are giving a little something extra for Brock Party.
Speaker 4: And didn't you see that right away in that Miami game.
Speaker 4: I mean when he took over for Garoppolo and they're
Speaker 4: playing Mike McDaniels offense and they got to have it. Boy,
Speaker 4: everybody just elevated their play for this guy. And he
Speaker 4: can hit everythrow. I mean, Kyle Shanahan is telling him
Speaker 4: exactly where to throw the ball before the play. He's
Speaker 4: making the throws and there is a skill like what
Speaker 4: he lacks in size and athleticism and arm strength and
Speaker 4: all of that, similar to Tua. You know, he just
Speaker 4: places that ball in stride to these receivers. They don't
Speaker 4: they don't break strider. It's like handing up Aton in
Speaker 4: a four by one. They just keep moving. And as
Speaker 4: long as he's doing that in this NFC, why can't
Speaker 4: it win a Super Bowl?
Speaker 1: Why not?
Speaker 2: Well, the other advantage is he was a multiple year
Speaker 2: starter in high school, a four year starter in college.
Speaker 2: He's got seven eight years of starting, right, that's a
Speaker 2: lot of snaps. I mean, Kyler Murray comes out one
Speaker 2: big year. A lot of these guys, you know, that's
Speaker 2: Kenny pickett advantage. He played in the same stadium he
Speaker 2: started for years, so you know, generally the feeling is
Speaker 2: if you're great, you come out early. I didn't think.
Speaker 2: I mean one GM told me Kenny Picketty he felt
Speaker 2: like he was a top of the third quarterback. But
Speaker 2: Kenny had so many reps. He got the advantage of
Speaker 2: a great culture, the Steelers, same stadium, just the other
Speaker 2: side of the locker room. And so I think Kenny
Speaker 2: Pickett feels fairly comfortable. And when I watch Brock Purdy,
Speaker 2: that's the word I would use. He feels comfortable. He's
Speaker 2: taken a ton of snaps. I mean, god, I felt
Speaker 2: bad for Trey Lance. Trey Lance barely played in college,
Speaker 2: then the COVID year, then he gets hurt. I mean,
Speaker 2: the guy barely took snaps in a three year period.
Speaker 2: It's like Jordan Love. Now, I don't see a lot
Speaker 2: of special I was told during camp by somebody who
Speaker 2: I trust that he was fine. There wasn't There wasn't
Speaker 2: a lot of wow there. That's kind of what I see.
Speaker 2: But let's be honest, Like Trey Lance and Jordan Love
Speaker 2: just haven't played games. And so I do feel like
Speaker 2: as we pivot back to Jordan Love and wrap it up,
Speaker 2: I just I just want to see. I said, give
Speaker 2: me about ten games, give me the thanksgiving. The physical
Speaker 2: parts are there, that's the good.
Speaker 1: I mean.
Speaker 2: I watched Mac Jones like he's slow, he doesn't already
Speaker 2: have a second gear. He's not a power thrower. Like
Speaker 2: with Mac. It's like white Flag, like it just feels
Speaker 2: like it's over. Zach Wilson. I don't think he sees
Speaker 2: the field particularly well. He even though he's only he's
Speaker 2: six to two, he feels small, plays hero ball. I
Speaker 2: don't think any of that stuff with Jordan Love. I
Speaker 2: just think he's I think it Takeshi a long time
Speaker 2: to get into rhythm.
Speaker 1: That's what I see. I totally agree. I mean he
Speaker 1: can do the arm angle stuff.
Speaker 4: Like the play before one of the interceptions, he kind
Speaker 4: of side arms it to Muskgrave and it's just so
Speaker 4: up and down. The very next play the Raiders go
Speaker 4: to quarter coverage, Marcus Peters just sits on the route
Speaker 4: and Love throws it into traffic.
Speaker 1: It's tipped, it's picked. And even that last.
Speaker 4: Drive and we look at the last three plays, puts
Speaker 4: it on Romeo Dobbs drop and gets rushed to me
Speaker 4: to the end third and ten roles left. Probably could
Speaker 4: have ran for the first down, but the game just ended.
Speaker 4: But that's how I'm remembering it. And Force is a
Speaker 4: throat to the end zone. It's just this is the
Speaker 4: kind of stuff you learn with with more action. He
Speaker 4: hasn't played for three years, right, you can simulate as
Speaker 4: much as you can with the Steve Calhoun in California offseason, offseason, offseason,
Speaker 4: do the same thing with Matt Lafleur and go to
Speaker 4: OTA's when Aaron Rodgers isn't there. You can do all
Speaker 4: that stuff, but there's no substitute for the live bullets.
Speaker 4: He's getting it and it's it's gonna be fun. I
Speaker 4: think Green Bay is just frustrating for Matt Lafleur to
Speaker 4: not have Aaron Jones, and now they not have David Baktiari.
Speaker 4: They're clearly hindered around Jordan Love. But like I said,
Speaker 4: it's no excuse you. You've got to find a way
Speaker 4: to function and excel and make the plays in the
Speaker 4: fourth quarter. I do think that Jordan Love will make
Speaker 4: enough plays in those fourth quarters to give you that
Speaker 4: hope and Thanksgiving right. I think he'll have these moments
Speaker 4: like you had in that fourth quarter against the Saints
Speaker 4: that suggest he's got the mental toughness. He's got that
Speaker 4: stuff that you can't learn and you can't teach, and
Speaker 4: they can kind of work around that over time.
Speaker 2: So okay, here they go. So it's Broncos on the road,
Speaker 2: winnable game, Vikings at home, Rams at home, Steelers on
Speaker 2: the road. Those are winnable games. You face Kenny Pickett,
Speaker 2: you get Matt Stafford in a young Rams defense at home,
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins at home, now a mess in Denver on
Speaker 2: the road. So I mean, listen the schedule, it's not daunting.
Speaker 2: There's some young quarterbacks, young teams, Rams teams struggling Broncos.
Speaker 2: This is the time you would hope tonight with extra time.
Speaker 2: This felt like a w to me, So it's really discouraging.
Speaker 2: You don't beat a Raider franchise. That's always one second
Speaker 2: from turbulence and chaos. But that's where we stand. I think.
Speaker 2: I guess my takeaway on tonight is I still don't know.
Speaker 2: I thought it was a game on the schedule you
Speaker 2: should win coming off the Thursday game. Watching Detroit off
Speaker 2: a Thursday be so fluid, watching a Packer so disjointed,
Speaker 2: That to me feels discouraging.
Speaker 1: Especially when Josh McDaniels is doing everything in his power
Speaker 1: to hands you a game on a silver platter.
Speaker 4: Just go for it. Fourth and short, Just go for it.
Speaker 4: Why are you kicking that field goal?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is crazy.
Speaker 2: Analytics said go for it. And the other thing I
Speaker 2: thought about is again it almost it was almost Josh
Speaker 2: McDaniels saying Max Crosby's getting great pressure and I don't
Speaker 2: think Jordan Love can beat us. That's what it said
Speaker 2: to me. You don't do it with Herbert Lawrence Mahomes.
Speaker 2: You don't. But my takeaway was he was, Hey, if
Speaker 2: we missed the field goal, Crosby's getting pressure. Jordan Love,
Speaker 2: he doesn't have a lot of experience on the road,
Speaker 2: late game, driving for a touchdown. I think I think
Speaker 2: you make decisions in those situations a lot of times
Speaker 2: based on who's the quarterback. And that's kind of what
Speaker 2: it felt like to me. He's like, I don't think
Speaker 2: Jordan Love can beat me. Two picks, you know, two.
Speaker 1: Picks, arguing with that because he had the results.
Speaker 2: Yep. All right, Ty, good seeing you as always. I
Speaker 2: want to give you a pump up again. Golong tv
