1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 1: They're sitting at the twenty, maybe just outside Winstone to

2
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: the end zone. Forgotten went in a touchdown, which right

3
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 1: now they got him stacked in tight. They run at

4
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 1: and the call is out. What's the call? No signal

5
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: yet looked like it might have been a safety. The

6
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: officials get together, Keithley was there? Safety direct snap? They

7
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:52,879
Speaker 1: faked the toss McCaffrey depends where they put it. What

8
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: a play by hard Graves out on the edge and

9
00:00:55,720 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: he did not get it. And there you have. The

10
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: Bucks get the big stop at the goal line, clinching

11
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: a fourteen win over the Carolina Panthers in Charlotte, a

12
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 1: huge win for the Bucks in the division on the

13
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: road and a really tough stuck back for the Panthers

14
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 1: who fall to oh and to Dan Hansas. With the

15
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: rest of the Around the NFL podcast here at west

16
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: Sylvania is that? What where did we come down on?

17
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: What did we get Westchester? The West Roast thing? But

18
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,199
Speaker 1: that might not aid. West Roast did not play well

19
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: on Twitter if that matter. You know, we should go

20
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: to the subreddit and let give them choices and have

21
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: a vote. Well, we'll get back to that anyway. Bucks

22
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 1: over the Panthers, Greg, This was not a pretty game.

23
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: This is not and you know, you think every game

24
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: is great, but not all football is quality football to watch.

25
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: This had a weather delay that has had some officiating

26
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: high jinks, and it had some really choppy play offensively. Yeah,

27
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: not a pretty game, and you're right the Haysen was

28
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: rough at times, but there were moments. I'm gonna remember

29
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: this game because of the way it ended. It was

30
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: close throughout, it was tense. I enjoyed it, and I

31
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 1: think Christian McCaffrey is gonna be kicking himself. I think

32
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 1: he's going home tonight pretty disappointed. He didn't make a

33
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,559
Speaker 1: play there. There's a lot of talk and it's very

34
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: emblematic that the Panthers didn't run Cam Newton at the

35
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: goal line, but they haven't been doing it for two

36
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 1: games and that's partly killed him, like he's been a negative.

37
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: He fumbled the ball. But Christian McCaffrey's got to make

38
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: that play. If the coaches no, he's out on the

39
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: edge versus Vernon Hargraves one on one and he's got

40
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 1: to get a yard and a half. I think most

41
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: running backs will look at that play and they think

42
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: you gotta lower your shoulder and get the first down.

43
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: They gotta win that game. Playing at home on Thursday

44
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: Night football after losing their first game, They've got to

45
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: win that game against the team that's not very good. Frankly.

46
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 1: I mean, you go on the road now three of

47
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,519
Speaker 1: the next four weeks and they have a very spicy rematch.

48
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: When we're in London, we get to see part two

49
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 1: of this epic class. You know, we've done the four

50
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: of us have done a lot of things together, spent

51
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: a lot of hours, uh thousands of hours together over

52
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: the past you know, seven or eight year has been

53
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,559
Speaker 1: in a lot of different places, some very exotic locations.

54
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: Tonight's time spent together is at the top of my

55
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: list because the game we watched was to me just

56
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: a back and forth clash where I wanted to find

57
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: one quarterback that actually wanted to seize this game and

58
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 1: win it. And it felt for a long period of

59
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: time that that's not the case. My one thing that

60
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: lingers in my head if I'm a Panthers fan, for

61
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: all to get away from the ins and outs of

62
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: the of this thing, what is the experience with Cam

63
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: Newton from now until the end are they ever going

64
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: to actually be anything other than sort of the same

65
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: team year after year. I struggle to buy into that.

66
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: And on the Bucks side, from a scheduling angle, they

67
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: don't play a home game now until November. Here is

68
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: and that if I will be a challenge for the Bucks,

69
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: so good thing they want to night. Here is camp

70
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: stat line twenty five of fifty one for thirty three

71
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: yards six and a half yards per attempt. He was

72
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: sacked three times. And again here's the biggest stat the

73
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: one that jumps out at you. Uh. Two rushes zero yards. Uh.

74
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: The one design running play that I remember he fumbled

75
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: on and lost the fumble. And when you if now

76
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: we're two weeks in and he's not that's not a

77
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: part of his game, and you're just wondering if this

78
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 1: is now all part of the plan keep can help

79
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: Cam healthy. But the problem with that is you're taking

80
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: away what made him special because he's certainly not was

81
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: a special passer, and as he reaches his thirty his

82
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: age thirty season, things are not getting better on that front.

83
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 1: He missed so many throws today and it really made

84
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: the difference in this game. Well, I think he arguably

85
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: the greatest dual threat quarterback of all times. So much

86
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: of his value has been in running, like you said,

87
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: but it feels like to me, this is a process

88
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,679
Speaker 1: that we're seeing and it it might cost people's jobs

89
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: to be Asian, but you can't just expect him to

90
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: be this guy right away. And if you listen to

91
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: the broadcast last week, he's working on his mechanics again,

92
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: something he's needed to do. But it just feels like

93
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 1: we're in an in between phase and the results aren't there. Well,

94
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: his arm is not right. I mean, he used to

95
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: have maybe the strongest arm in the league, and tonight

96
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 1: he was under throwing a number of throws. I defended him.

97
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: I thought, at least a few throws last week it

98
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: looked like the old Cam and I wasn't really that worried.

99
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: But his arm tonight was a problem. I mean, anyone

100
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: watched that game, he didn't look like Cam Newton. It

101
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: was a little depressing. I'm just hoping it's something. Yeah,

102
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: you can come out. There were a couple of throws

103
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: were Aikman, you know, announced to everyone watching that that's

104
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: a throw that shows you his shoulder is absolutely fine.

105
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: But then you're watching other stuff happen where you're thinking,

106
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: this is not even you know in Newton has always

107
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: been a bit skittish. I think it was nice, not

108
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: all the way. Then times the game comes down to

109
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 1: Darryl Williams that couldn't block shack Barrett to say that

110
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: was kind of the difference in the game, the negative

111
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: p F score coming off Barrett. You bring into that game,

112
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: Sha kill Barrett the biggest play of the game to me,

113
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 1: and it showed off. Yes, the Barrett was a wrecking

114
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: crew in this game, but also questions about Cam. Was

115
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: fourth and one, Barrett comes free on a blitz right

116
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 1: at Cam. It's right near midfield. Curtis Samuel gets behind

117
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 1: the defender and Cam. Yes, it's a tough situation because

118
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: the pass rushers coming right at him, but he needs

119
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: to get it out and put some into it, and

120
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,119
Speaker 1: he couldn't do it. He threw he scattered it left

121
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: and threw it short. And you just wonder if the

122
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 1: Cam that went to Super Bowl fifty that throw ends

123
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: up being right on the money. Panthers take the lead,

124
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: and it's a whole different game we're talking about right now.

125
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: I'm very nervous. I'm a Cam fan, I like, I like,

126
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: I like his playing style what we've seen through the years.

127
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if that guy's coming back right now.

128
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 1: Maybe he does, maybe he does it, but Panther fans

129
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: have right to hit the panic button. I'm with you

130
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: and then I The one thing about the Bucks that

131
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: that concerns me a little bit is that in and Greg,

132
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: you you put the swell when we were sitting out

133
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: there watching it that even though there's a whole new

134
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: coaching staff here, the DNA of pass Bucks teams seems

135
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: to have lingered on and they and they feel offensively. Offensively,

136
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: they feel very similar excepted would come into a game

137
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: where O. J. Howard didn't get a single target tonight

138
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: and I he's one of the premier weapons at the

139
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: tight end position. And you know, we we joked it's like,

140
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: did did Bruce arians ride back into the NFL? This

141
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: tough decision, this career thing to ride Peyton Barber endlessly?

142
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: Is this year? Was this year master plan? As the

143
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: Bucks offensive mind, I like, they just seemed to me

144
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: to have all the same issues and nothing new to them.

145
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: They're less explosive than they were, far better. Todd Bowles

146
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: is having a great season. I mean, they didn't have

147
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: a two game stretch like this in the last four years.

148
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: So to them, any win is beautiful. To get it

149
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: on the road, and they're gonna have to improve as

150
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: they go. Jamis had three or four unbelievably good tonight,

151
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: but he also still had a bunch of clunkers. He

152
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: had a pass that could have been intercepted if if

153
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: Brisad Perriman catches that pass in the end zone, or

154
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: there was another throw down the field that they dropped

155
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: from him that was beautiful. You know, they went he

156
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: was the better quarterback by far, but it wasn't like

157
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: we've seen this. I mean, you're still getting the Winston though.

158
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: That is is doing figure eights in the you know,

159
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: eighteen yards behind the pocket and then just holding onto

160
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: the ball and Brian Burns taking into the ground like

161
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: he's looking. Well, you don't see him happy. He's he's

162
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: a statue on on the sidelines. But he he had

163
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: a really nice night. And last Thursday and other Jets

164
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: defensive ex Jet uh, Mike Petton had a really good Thursday. Um,

165
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: so there's some connection there. Um, we're at the point

166
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: where both of those coaches are X Browns too, So

167
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 1: it's very disturbing. All right, there you go. And unless

168
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: that's said about the officiating in this game, the better.

169
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: We don't have time to get into it anyway, but

170
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: my god, I know they're doing their best. But a

171
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: game that was already besides Greg's opinion on this was

172
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: not was here. He liked it to. Like the way

173
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: that game got bogged down at the end with a

174
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 1: ridiculous spot and then going to the challenge uh checking

175
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: where the ball should be spotted after the face mask.

176
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: It just killed the momentum of what was already a

177
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: shaky game and they got to be better. And there

178
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: was that past interference call, which again and Mike Perre

179
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: I think kind of nailed it that what are we

180
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: doing here? It's it's a situation where are you don't

181
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: call p I but there is a penalty on the play,

182
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 1: but it's not built into the rule. Uh. We had

183
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,439
Speaker 1: rushing through the outlast Yeah, we had Brassy here, who

184
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: is the someone know, an NFL employee, and she mentioned

185
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 1: that during that elongated final minutes of the game that

186
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: she could have given birth to three children. Seems I'm

187
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 1: not sure factually that checks out. But that was her claim.

188
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: All right, there you go. That is our recap of

189
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,319
Speaker 1: Panthers and Bucks. And next time they play, yes, we

190
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: will be in London live to see it all. Hopefully

191
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: it's a better game. All right. We have all of

192
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: the week two games to look forward to now in preview,

193
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: so let's get to it now. Be around the NFL

194
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: Podcast started wearing underwear a gain, i'lcome to another distance.

195
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: I'll be around the NFL Podcast. My name is Dan Hansas.

196
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: I'm joining in the room filled with heroes, Mark Sessler,

197
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: Chris Westling, and Greg Rosenthal. What is up? Boys? Hey? Dan?

Speaker 1: Video show live on NFL dot Com streaming uh every Thursday.

199
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: This is gonna be the case. Very cool. I think

200
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 1: it will migrate to YouTube at some point. Mark as well. Yes,

201
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: I'm I certainly am the one that knows the production schedule,

202
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: elements and future plans for this show. Yeah, some some

203
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: changes to how we're doing things on Thursday. Of course,

204
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: we unveiled the draft last week. We're gonna have this

205
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: live video show every Thursday. And also, uh, you know,

206
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: genius idea from one of the top Shadowy League figures,

207
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: Mark Brady. We're gonna start dropping the Thursday preview show early,

208
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: so you have a chance to check out our previews

209
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: earlier Thursday if you like, and then we'll tack on

210
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: that Thursday night football to the same episode. You can

211
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: come back to it if you want to see took

212
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: us seven or eight years to come up with that

213
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: expedited Yeah, if you're a fan, then you have to

214
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: come back on Friday morning and listen to that topic

215
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: that click again to that second clicking a lot of level.

216
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: One thing I love about the video show is they

217
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: drop in these these revised headshots that are a year

218
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: old this point, but you get that West look with

219
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: I can't tell because it's black and white sort of

220
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: a flower freely typed shirt under a very expensive looking

221
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: cardigaan or sweater arrangement. And there's another one today, so

222
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: the guys on fire. It's just a free T shirt

223
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: that was thrown into the crowded I'm talking more about

224
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: this the video benefits, or just to like watch Dan's

225
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: awkwardness when West and I are fighting, like that helps uncomfortable.

226
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: It's like you feel more because I've always feeling fine.

227
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: And then I look at Dad. I was like, oh,

228
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: it's something going wrong. Well, everything's okay. We went down

229
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: to the lab and sorted it all out. Yes, this

230
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: is our week to preview, and we're gonna get to

231
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: all the games to be played on Sunday and Monday.

232
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: And yes, there is just absolutely horrendous Jets news of course,

233
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,839
Speaker 1: revolving Sam Donald, which is a really a disgrace. I mean,

234
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,839
Speaker 1: let's be honest here that Jets fans have to deal

235
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: with this stuff, um, and we'll get to that in time.

236
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: But what we're gonna do here is go through all

237
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 1: the games and as we did last week, we're gonna draft.

238
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: I want to make one rule change, okay, because it

239
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: never made sense that like they're bringing up this live

240
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: on the show. Well, you can disagree with it, but

241
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,079
Speaker 1: I think it's a good idea. We don't vote in

242
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: rule changes as a group. You just make them on

243
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: your own, willy nilly. That's how this show I thought

244
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: it would go over, Like this rule change. Um, there's

245
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: no sense drafting these primetime games, as I was showering

246
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: before coming here, So that's pull them out at the

247
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 1: draft process and we'll just do them at the end.

248
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: It's like, it's not my idea. I don't like it.

249
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,719
Speaker 1: I had the same thought independently. It's a freebee and

250
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: you're essentially getting out. It's worked at all. Four of

251
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: us will carry the load on basic, saving West from

252
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: making horrible mistakes again like you did on the draft

253
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: last week. Oh, I think it turned out well for me.

254
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,959
Speaker 1: You've also sabotaged my plan to pick the Thirst or

255
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: the the the Monday night game and Sunday night game first. Yes,

256
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:12,199
Speaker 1: that was yeah, that was calculated as well. Good idea.

257
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: All right, now, let's get it going. Greg, you were

258
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: the only one to drop a hero pick successfully yesterday.

259
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: How about that last week? Right? Yeah, you were the

260
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,079
Speaker 1: only one to nail it. Had the Vikings. You have

261
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: the Vikings who absolutely steamrolled Atlanta. Mark and I had

262
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: our hearts broken by our local teams. Kind of a

263
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 1: local team to Mark and his heart at least, Wes,

264
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:38,719
Speaker 1: you supported who the brocch But Greg, the last time

265
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 1: I do that. Greg nailed it, and his reward as

266
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 1: the only one to get a hero pick on week

267
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: one is he has the number one overall pick. As

268
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: we begin the preview process, dig in, Rosie. All right,

269
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: My strategy here is simple. I'm going to treat myself

270
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: with whatever game Tony Romo has looked it up. It's

271
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,959
Speaker 1: Chief's Raiders. It's a four oh five game. But it's

272
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: very intriguing because this Raiders team is coming off what

273
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,959
Speaker 1: had to be one of the best nights this organization

274
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: has had since the last time Jon Gruden was their coach.

275
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: I mean, at this point, everything feels a little possible

276
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: for the like the only way for them to go

277
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: right now is down. They achieved the platonic ideal of

278
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: a of a John Gruden offense in that game. Their

279
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: defense was flying around Fontes's Burfett played so well that

280
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: Chris Wesling wrote nice things about him on NFL in

281
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: a in a nice article on transformed players. And now

282
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: they get the Chiefs in their building and and they

283
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: come down kind of started already this week. Jonathan Abrams,

284
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: their safety, uh is gonna miss some time, missed the

285
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: entire season with the shoulder surgeon, and that takes some

286
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: physicality away. And I do worry when I look at

287
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: this Raiders defense. That energy is great, but where are

288
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: the players, where the difference makers? Where's the pass rush?

289
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: And I'm at the point with Patrick Mahomes that unless

290
00:14:55,680 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: you have in absolutely elite defense or or a RAMS

291
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: type offense, or in an organization like the Patriots. I'm

292
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: assuming Patrick Mahomes just wins every week. But that's what's

293
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: gonna take to beep. It's a safe way to go.

294
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: And I mean, we talk about and it's because it

295
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: happens that offenses don't really translate from year to year

296
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: because maybe they change schematically, or maybe injuries or new

297
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: players or players lost throw everything into a weird sup

298
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: But watching the Chiefs last week, the big plays are

299
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: still there. And you were playing the Jaguars and they

300
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: the Jaguars did not have their act together in the secondary.

301
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: They left guys wide open, Sammy Watkins wide open, Travis

302
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: Kelsey wide open. And if you're not gonna get to

303
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and he's got a prairie land and eight

304
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: seconds to run around and scan the whole field, he's

305
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: going to absolutely savage you. And my one concern for

306
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: Oaklands whenever you come off a prime time emotion filled

307
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: game where you kind of used up everything in the

308
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: tank to blow up everyone's expectations of you and form

309
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: a new narrative like they did, we're talking about them

310
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: in much different tones. It's hard, I think, in the

311
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: NFL to go out the next week and do it again,

312
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: and against the Chiefs especially. It's a great savage Joakland

313
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: in two games last year. It's a great test for

314
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: the new theory, at least for the old zeuser that

315
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: the Raiders are going to be frisky at home this year.

316
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: I think they could be frisky because we saw a

317
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: Casey does. This is a team, especially when the conditions

318
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: are ideal as they are in early September. They're gonna

319
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: travel well and they're gonna score points regardless of where

320
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: they are at arrow Head. Their deadly on the road

321
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: there deadly. So yeah, it does make a lot of

322
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: sense that this has a come down to earth game

323
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: for the Raiders and losing Jonathan Abram who was really

324
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: a likable guy on hard knocks, so you hate to

325
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: see a kid like that get struck down in Week one. Uh.

326
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: I would imagine this is a pretty safe pick for

327
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Here was well, I thought, before Tyreek Hill

328
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: went down and before Patrick Holmes suffered his own injury

329
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: that he played through his first half was one of

330
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: the best halfs of football he's ever played. It was.

331
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: It was incredible, and nobody talked about it because of

332
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: I think the injuries that happened after that game. But

333
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: Mahomes was just on fire and unstoppable in this game.

334
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,439
Speaker 1: It's amazing. I almost don't want to think about, like

335
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,360
Speaker 1: what if Patrick Mahomes is better? I mean, Patrick, I've

336
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: never seen someone coming to the league like Patrick Mahomes.

337
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,919
Speaker 1: We certainly haven't since we started this podcast. He's twenty

338
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 1: four years old. I mean, we're getting to see the

339
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: beginnings of what I think is going to be an

340
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: all time great career. And you don't want to think, Okay,

341
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 1: can he take it up and notch here, because all

342
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: he has to do is stay where he's at and

343
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: just kind of enjoy the ride. But it's possible, like

344
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,439
Speaker 1: especially in these early season games where Andy Reid has

345
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: shown he's just an advantage. He's gonna scheme guys open.

346
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: Is it so crazy to think that he would get better?

347
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 1: That you get more comfortable. That's the one thing they

348
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 1: said for months was that he was more comfortable than

349
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 1: ever before. And I hope we don't get onto a

350
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: trend where the Tony Romo game is a stinker every

351
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 1: week because last week. I mean Nansen Romo did the

352
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 1: best they could to talk about nothing for forty I

353
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: don't think when I think the Raiders are legit, and

354
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 1: I think at home it's a real and there's no

355
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill, and I think this is gonna be a

356
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,239
Speaker 1: game in the fourth quarter. I'd certainly take the US

357
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: to win, but I think this is gonna be a

358
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 1: fun one. Anybody think Micole Hardman shows up and does

359
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: scary things in this game? That feels possible. They look

360
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: like they want to use him more of a decoy

361
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: than anything last week. But things are different, I'd say

362
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: in that offense, I'd say it's very much a possibility

363
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: that he is a factor. All right, here we go

364
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: in our and the second overall pick in the draft strategy.

365
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: It's so important to strategize. Last week, some of us

366
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 1: made the mistake of going too heavy on the early games,

367
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 1: and then you're banged in a big spot because your

368
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: job in the newsroom on Sundays to cover these games,

369
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 1: and you can't keep an eye on three games. Two

370
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: you can manage, right, it's feasible, and that's what we do.

371
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: Three impossible. So Mark, you're in a tricky spot. Here

372
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: because there's only three late games to choose from, and

373
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 1: I strategically have to take one of them. I mean,

374
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: my apathy is helping me so, but I could see

375
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: you know, this is where you go, Ryan Leaf, no problems.

376
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: Please cut that out. Every time we ask to cut

377
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: out whatever my Mark says, we never hear it again.

378
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: Let's keep that one. I like it. Um, so I

379
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,959
Speaker 1: am going to take the New Orleans Saints traveling to

380
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Memorial. Kyle seemed to play the Rams

381
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 1: and a rematch of the NFC title game. Yes, everyone

382
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 1: is sick of the past interference storyline, as are the Saints.

383
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: The Saints, by the way, I have to give them

384
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: credit while Mattnage and the Bears, specifically Matt Age cannot

385
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 1: get over the double doing. You haven't heard the Saints,

386
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: you know, complaining too much about the officials since this

387
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: new season ramped up over the summer. Maybe I missed

388
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: those stories. They processed it and moved on. And um,

389
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: you know, that was a classic Week one game against

390
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: the Texans where, let's face it, the Saints defense, Uh,

391
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 1: they weren't able to shut the door there, and that

392
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: was disheartening. I would imagine to allow Deshaun Watson to

393
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: do what he did, to play seventy seven yards when

394
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 1: the game should have been over. Uh, So they have

395
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 1: some things to clean up. The offense looks just fine

396
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 1: to me. And then you get the Rams, and the

397
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: Rams are interesting. And I caught some heat on the

398
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: Power ranking show I do with Matt money Smith and

399
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: Cynthia Freeland. Check that out every Wednesday, shameless plug um

400
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 1: for putting the Rams, keeping them at number two of

401
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 1: my power rankings. And they said they looked, you know,

402
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: Money was like, they look terrible in week two. All right.

403
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,400
Speaker 1: You could say that they weren't playing up to their

404
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: highest level that we've seen in recent years. But I

405
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,360
Speaker 1: like a team going on the road against the quality

406
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 1: opponent like the Panthers are, I believe, and getting a

407
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: w and coming home. So I think the Rams are

408
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 1: a good place. I liked what I saw from Todd

409
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: Gurley in week one. West we didn't get a chance

410
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: to talk about this Tuesday. Did you not feel the

411
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 1: same way about Gurley? I didn't see any alarm bells.

412
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,439
Speaker 1: I wasn't impressed with how he started the game, but

413
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: I was impressed with how he finished it. The biggest

414
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: problems to me were the offensive line did not open

415
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 1: very many holes. And you've got two news starters there

416
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: that has something to watch. I don't think they played

417
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: that well Um and Malcolm Brown looking just as good

418
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 1: as Todd Gurley, but they did in the end. I

419
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 1: mean they ran for a hundred and six or six yards.

420
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 1: He had sixty four, I believe in the fourth quarter,

421
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: and very similar to how they opened the season last

422
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: year against the Raiders. They their offense didn't show up

423
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: for the first half. It looked like they're offense in

424
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: the second half. Golf had to be patient. He didn't,

425
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: you know. He said that game tested him, that he

426
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: had to kept dumping the ball off instead of going

427
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,159
Speaker 1: for the players that they wanted. He thought it was

428
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: a mature game. He didn't play that well. He didn't

429
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: make great decisions. But they're crazy for getting on you

430
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 1: for that. You go win in Carolina. Gave me a break,

431
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: I think also, I mean a weekend. I'm fine with

432
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: the Rams being where they are in your rankings. They're

433
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: crazy about the Cowboys and that that could change that.

434
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: The Rams play the way that my If you can

435
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 1: put pressure on Golf, I think you're dealing with a

436
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: different type of quarterback and the offensive to the two

437
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 1: new guys on the line, I thought they were shaky

438
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: early on, and and the Panthers put pressure on him

439
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:37,360
Speaker 1: and they got a little bit better as the game

440
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 1: went along. Malcolm Brown and me West reminds me of

441
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 1: like the second best running back on like a nineteen

442
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: eighties pounded, ground and pound type football team. He's just

443
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 1: a bigger dude, and I kind of like them using

444
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 1: him more than they ever have before, obviously, And it's

445
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: working so far. And I think we'll see Darrell Henderson

446
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 1: the rookie at some point. The Saints do get David

447
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: on your Mata back from suspension. Do you think they

448
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: need because they are in at that position their run defense,

449
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 1: and if you're gonna give up yards to Chub and

450
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 1: Duke Johnson, I think you're gonna have trouble with Todd

451
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: Gurley that their defense is a position, or at least

452
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 1: a side of the ball that they have to be

453
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: a little worried that the secondary and maybe the defensive

454
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,360
Speaker 1: tackles aren't as good as they worry. Let's get one

455
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: more touchdown for Taysom Hill this week. We've got seven

456
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 1: on the season. We've got six to go for the

457
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 1: sandwich is heading my way. You predicted how many? Eight, seven,

458
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: six more to go. He's off to a good start,

459
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: and I believe it's gonna happen. It is the most

460
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: secure I've ever felt about any Sandwich bet ever, because

461
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: most of the ones that I give you involved like

462
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: national security threats, major earth disaster. So that's true. I

463
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 1: did he touch the ball enough for this to be sustainable? Oh,

464
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: He's gonna touch it more and more. I think they

465
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 1: have to put him on the field more. I'm not

466
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 1: at quarterback, thank you, Ricky. Alright, let's move on west

467
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 1: with the number three overall pick selects. I am taking

468
00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: the other for o' clock. It's it's a smart pick.

469
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: Bears at Broncos. So it's uh Vic Fongio going against

470
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 1: Mitchell Trobiskie, whom he went against in practice every day

471
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: last year, and I think probably has a few tricks

472
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: up as sleeve and knows that quarterback's weakness is better

473
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: than any defensive coordinator in the league. I learned my

474
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 1: lesson on the Broncos in Week one, so I don't

475
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 1: want to go like both feet first on my pulling

476
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: out already after one game. I'm just saying, I think

477
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 1: the Broncos war months. I think the Broncos will win

478
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: this game. But I cannot be. I cannot be as

479
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: as I was before after that opening week let down?

480
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: Can I can I throw something out there was? And

481
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: I want to And I say this with all due

482
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: respect because you know I respect you as a football mind.

483
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I find it. I find your analysis to

484
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 1: be brilliant, triple that I wish you were to um.

485
00:23:56,119 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: But there's the paradox we have here with your insistence

486
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: that Eli Manning needs to go away and he shouldn't

487
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 1: be a starting quarterback. Joe Flacco was basically Eli Manning

488
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 1: at the stage. He is a guy that some years

489
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 1: back was the guy that people weren't quite sold on.

490
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 1: Became a Super Bowl hero. Eli did it twice, of course,

491
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: but for years now the writing has been on the

492
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 1: wall that maybe this guy is in a franchise quarterback.

493
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: You got all in on Joe Flacco in the summer

494
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 1: of two thousand nineteen. You sold on Eli years ago.

495
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: I feel like they're the same guy basically at this

496
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,159
Speaker 1: point in their careers. Well, if Flacco plays like he

497
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 1: did in Week one. Then I have no leg to

498
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: stand on. I have in my notes written three or

499
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 1: four games last year, early in the season, Flacco looks

500
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: more athletic than ever, looks springier than ever. So what

501
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 1: happened then? I don't know? It was ghack. He was

502
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: getting away from pressure early last season, and I don't

503
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: know if he's that guy anymore. So it's up to

504
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: me to adjust my plans. And if I have to

505
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 1: back off a flock of the Flacco this year, I

506
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 1: will understand if you guys put me in the penalty box,

507
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: make me do some kind of you. This is a

508
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: matchup between guys you've quickly lost, uh you know, touch

509
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: with here because you gave Robisky half life is too short.

510
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:08,199
Speaker 1: With a bad quarter back way through a Week one,

511
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: the Bears the flop up. I will admit that in

512
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: Week one, I'm thinking why why am I an idiot?

513
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: And I go to bat for Flacco and I never

514
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: I never really say, hey, Deshaun Watson is special, Like

515
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: why can't I just enjoy because we've seen the veteran

516
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 1: rebirth and I think maybe that's sort of what you

517
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,360
Speaker 1: were clinging to on a team with a good defense

518
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 1: and a little bit more around them. You gotta win.

519
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 1: You gotta win this week. If the Broncos do, and

520
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: then they're fine one one with a this is like

521
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: but I went off that rock. Yeah, this is game.

522
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: If this game is ugly and close in the fourth quarter,

523
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of Bears fans sweating. I

524
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: do think like there's some reason to believe that their

525
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: defense could be even better, Like if Rokuwan Smith is

526
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 1: better and Leonard Floyd plays, I mean, it's still the

527
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: best defense in the league. So that's a tough What

528
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 1: I see, though, is that classic team where the defense

529
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 1: is gonna have to hold every one to thirteen points

530
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 1: a week for a chance to win, and there's a

531
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 1: total canyon between both sides of the ball in the

532
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: locker room. I mean, there are whispers this week that

533
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 1: the Bears are already concerned about Rabinsky long term, and

534
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 1: they put him out there for a press conference. And

535
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: I know this is a bit low hanging fruit, but

536
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 1: it's it's one of the more obnoxious things I've seen

537
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: in the NFL, where Rabinsky is wheeled out in front

538
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 1: of the media and announces that he's not allowed to

539
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: talk about the game that just happened, a disastrous game

540
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:29,120
Speaker 1: against the your rival, the longest rival in the NFL,

541
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 1: in the history of the NFL, the one celebration game

542
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 1: the year, and you're blending, you're dropping it, and we

543
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 1: owe them out like a child like Paul Well he was,

544
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: you know what, your third year quarterback being treated like?

545
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 1: How many more excuses will be makeing of the lamb

546
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: had alector in the hand. He was not in the

547
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: middle wiring around the head in order does he eat

548
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 1: human beings? Von Miller show up in this game. That

549
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: was a dreadful performance by your defense. You're the leader

550
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: of that defense. That's why I call you out specifically.

551
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,239
Speaker 1: And West the one thing that the Brons might have,

552
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: as you pointed out, you never want to go into

553
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 1: empower field. No, wait, isn't it dignity? Oh that's that's

554
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 1: the charges high at mile High. Yes, I just call

555
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 1: it empower field. I just call it the empower It's

556
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: a great stadium, all right, with the fourth overall pick. Alright,

557
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:20,919
Speaker 1: remember your locks. By the way, I don't forget to

558
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,120
Speaker 1: make a lock of ye. What I find amazing here

559
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: is that you guys act like you I'm banged because

560
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,400
Speaker 1: I have literally no work to do in the late

561
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: slot of the games. You've taken all the games. I'm

562
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: gonna use that time to wander around Culver City, get

563
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: a nice walk in the sun. Your bangs in the

564
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: early games. Remember the guy from the airplane that was

565
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: sweating like profusely, that's you during the water Literally, I you.

566
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: You have to know that if I'm covering three or

567
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 1: four games, two of them will be utter mail and jobs.

568
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: Think you know, I mean, you've got you got, you

569
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 1: give me a bang. You think I'm gonna sit there

570
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: and try to meticulously, like a like a robot, cover

571
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 1: four games and everything happy at the same time, you're

572
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 1: gonna get stuck in a trade outspit. Anyways, I mean,

573
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 1: this is working beautifully. This is a thing where we

574
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: had the most productive season of the four of you

575
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,439
Speaker 1: were drafting last. And I now got the back end.

576
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: I get too, and I'm going Jacksonville Houston, And of

577
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 1: course I am, because we're talking Gardner Minshew, and you

578
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: wanted because these things that you get. You get excited

579
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 1: about this stuff, alright, do early on your especially when

580
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: the team that you've kind of clung to your entire

581
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,159
Speaker 1: life gets whacked in week one. You got it. When

582
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 1: you start watching game pass, get excited about us something else.

583
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: Otherwise you just go insane. So I gotta say I

584
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 1: got at first, I got excited about Gardner Minshew the person,

585
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 1: and then the Houston game happened. I thought that Houston

586
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 1: is automatically exciting to go into New Orleans and play

587
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: the way they did. Yes, it was a loss, but

588
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: you got to look at them as a playoff type

589
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: team that can play in adversity. And I love the

590
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: whole Bill O'Brien, He'll turn everything about the team in Houston.

591
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: I like. And they're playing Gardner Minshew. And when I

592
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: went and watched the tape, it wasn't like, Oh, Gardner Minshew.

593
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: This was this total fluke job where this guy cannot

594
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: throw the ball and they're scheming around him and running

595
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: the ball forty five times. He can throw, he can

596
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: throw with precision, and I thought some of the work

597
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: that he did with DJ Chark, a big six ft

598
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 1: four receiver. He's got a deep ball, he can throw

599
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: to the he can throw to the outside, the inside,

600
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: over the middle, down the stretch. I love him. We're

601
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: showing a ton of highlights of Deshaun Watson. We're showing

602
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 1: the wrong quarterback. We gotta rename that chlorine tank the

603
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 1: Chark tank. That's brilliant. By the way, I want to

604
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: give Mark credit that I've been a little bit exhausted

605
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: by the Minshew train this week, but Minshu mania. But

606
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: Mark was the first one in the corner. And now

607
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: you've seen the football Twitter all get all jacked up

608
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 1: about Minshew in the past two or three days and

609
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: everybody's having their fun and being snarky and dropping their

610
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: comedy bits. Mark was there first. I don't know if

611
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: I was there first because in the business we work

612
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: and now people jump on this stuff like within one sex.

613
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: But but I will. I put together a two minute,

614
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: uh highlight video that took me like three hours to

615
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: do on I Movie and Erica retweeted at least got

616
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: run one retweet made that in my house. Yes, he

617
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: put I Movie music under it. It was like it

618
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: was the funniest thing. We clearly didn't want the front

619
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: and center on my Twitter feed, but let's amplify that

620
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 1: right now. On the flip side, I think that the

621
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 1: thing that I like about this, and it's in Houston.

622
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: So Jacksonville, this is a tall order. But their defense

623
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: I thought was embarrassed last week. And you got Jalen

624
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: Ramsey walking around acting like he runs the entire a

625
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: f C and he was out of place against the

626
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: Chiefs more than once. That whole secondary was embarrassed. Where

627
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: was Josh Allen? How about this game where you have

628
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson playing behind even with Larry Larry Mattunzel a

629
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 1: line that is a major, major liability. I like the

630
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: idea of the pass rush and Jacksonville's angry secondary having

631
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: a better game in this one? Are you locking it up? No? Okay,

632
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 1: you were getting so fired up. Well, I what I

633
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 1: want to see. I want to see what happens with

634
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: this offense one more week and I'll start locking them up.

635
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: If they show up the way they did last time

636
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: with Gardner Minshew, I'll start locking him. I mean, he's

637
00:30:57,920 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: he kind of a folk hero going back to his

638
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 1: college and he's paired with Mike Leach and there's I mean,

639
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 1: there is a lot to like. Like if you can't

640
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 1: enjoy it, it it reminds me a little bit of Kyle

641
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: Orton in in like Internet. One point, Oh was a

642
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: absolute sensation for about five six weeks. Dead Spin was

643
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: a big part of that. But just matchup wise, I'm

644
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: surprised that the Texans are such heavy favorites in this game.

645
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: There's no respect for Minshew off of that performance, which

646
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: I get, But the defense should be better. I'm not

647
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: like that worried about their defense, and if you look

648
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: at the Texans secondary and the Texans defense in general,

649
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: it's not good. I mean, Bill O'Brien did what a

650
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: lot of coaches did on two would want to do

651
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 1: on a Tuesday after a game where one of their

652
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 1: highly paid players made a big mistake. He just cut

653
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: Aaron Colvin, who was making eight million dollars this year.

654
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that's even a bad move. I'm

655
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,239
Speaker 1: saying the process to get to the point where you're

656
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: cutting him after one game, after one game that it's like, Okay,

657
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 1: you spend the entire offseason prepping this guy to be

658
00:31:57,920 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: your starter. You gave him every single snap in the

659
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 1: off season as your nickelback started. You gave him fifty

660
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: five stuff, and then suddenly because he gave up a

661
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: plate a ted gain on that last drive, him that

662
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: he that he cuts him. He sailed the coach who

663
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: had faith in him, and he was punished for it.

664
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: This is the NFL. Greg, He was one of the

665
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: biggest free agents. He was one of the biggest bus

666
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 1: in the league last year he was I get it.

667
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: Then they make the move in the off season. Don't

668
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: have him start and play? What what? One game just

669
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 1: changed everything? You feel loyalty, decisive. This is how Bob

670
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 1: is going to operate in and again it's why I

671
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 1: kind of like him. He just does things that get,

672
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 1: you know, reaction. They hang on amplifying original. I know

673
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 1: I didn't see it. Can't be responsible for having in

674
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 1: your picks column, so you're amplifying. He literally linked to

675
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: it in the column that you filed. That the video

676
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: below good content. You know. I was like literally on

677
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 1: my bed in a quiet house, like going through hundreds

678
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,959
Speaker 1: of videos, cutting them and then splice. Erica knows how

679
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 1: a work. She's an editing professional. It's not easy. It's

680
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: not Are you gonna give me like more credit now

681
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 1: or oh it put me in. I saw the pain

682
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 1: points that you go through from a production angle. It's

683
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: it's steep, all right. As you know, Mark, we draft

684
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 1: a snake style, so you get the next pick as well,

685
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: number five. Overall, I might throw you for a little

686
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 1: bit of a loop here, but I like to and Greg,

687
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: I think you put this out there is something that

688
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: you subscribed to. I like to see a team that

689
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: I didn't watch live the previous week or at all,

690
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: and for me, that's the Buffalo Bills. And I like

691
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: this little bizarre thing that has only happened eight times

692
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: in NFL history when a team plays in away game

693
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 1: in the same stadium two weeks in a row. The

694
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills went into MetLife last week and overcame a

695
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 1: sixteen nothing deficit to cut the Jets head off and

696
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: go one. And oh now they're going right back into

697
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 1: MetLife Stadium to do the same thing to the New

698
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 1: York Giants. We'll see. I think the Giants are a

699
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: bit of a mess, Eli Manning. Greg, you pointed this

700
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: out in your picks column. NFL research through this out.

701
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 1: There has twenty more turnovers than any other quarterback in

702
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: the league's and he looked no better to me last week.

703
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: He is a liability. There was one intentional grounding call

704
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 1: on him where all you had to do was get

705
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: the ball out of bounds and he's running around like

706
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: a child with the football in his hands and gets

707
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 1: thrown to the ground. Absurd. I think the Giants are

708
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,800
Speaker 1: probably one of the easier teams to game plan in

709
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: the entire league, because if you take out Sequon Barkley

710
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: and you take out Evan green ingram or at least

711
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,319
Speaker 1: reduce them down to say, two big plays each in

712
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 1: the game, they really don't have much else to throw

713
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 1: at you, especially with Manning in there. That said, I

714
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: am going to do the absurd thing because O and

715
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 1: two does not concerned me locks wise, because I've come

716
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 1: back from it before. I am locking up the New

717
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: York Giants at home. It's going to be a tight game,

718
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 1: but I'm going to witness this go down at home

719
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: at MetLife. The Giants are gonna go one and one.

720
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: They're gonna be an annoying team because we're gonna want

721
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 1: to write them off and we're gonna want to love

722
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 1: the Bills and their defense and ash Allen maybe having

723
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,799
Speaker 1: only three turnovers in this game versus four. But the

724
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: g met are gonna take care of business at home

725
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,359
Speaker 1: and be that kind of frisky, tedious seven and nine

726
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: team that we can't write off until about Christmas. I

727
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 1: think the Giants are facing a defense that is every

728
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 1: bit as good as the one they faced last week.

729
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,760
Speaker 1: The Buffalo Bills with Ed Oliver had a big impact

730
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,720
Speaker 1: in his first game. Shack Lawson looks improved, Tremaine Evmans,

731
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 1: their second year linebacker, looks better. And I think the

732
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 1: Bills on defense, it's just absolutely shut the Jets down there,

733
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 1: just shut them down. They're good everywhere. They're able to

734
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 1: rotate guys in playing twenty five snaps, so that's how

735
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,800
Speaker 1: you win. In Week one especially, they played fifteen or

736
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: sixteen guys twenty five snaps. Plus they're so deep. The

737
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 1: secondaries great. I think this can be a top I'm

738
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: expecting it to be a top five defense and a

739
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 1: top five defense against the Giants. This isn't a road game.

740
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: I mean, they're just staying in the same locker room

741
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 1: as they were last week. They are the team of

742
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 1: New York Buffalo Owens New York after this week. Has

743
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: anyone ever beat the one two straight games on in

744
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: the same stadium, Well, I would say the only other

745
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: time this this phenomena of plane twice in the same

746
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:08,240
Speaker 1: It's always been a Jets giant scenario. Yes, it happened recently.

747
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 1: It might happen last year. I like to put it

748
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 1: out there is a rarity. But you've done that into

749
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 1: the fire. That surprised by the meaning you find in that. Um,

750
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 1: well it's you know it. It matters. It's interesting. Before

751
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 1: Sam Donald was undone by makeout point or however this

752
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 1: happened with him. Uh, he was undone by a Bill's

753
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: defense that not known for heavy blitzing Sean McDermott. But

754
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 1: against the Jets, he dialed up the blitz and and

755
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: Donald was never comfortable. It was they were. They got

756
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 1: to him repeatedly. They knocked down at least five passes

757
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,240
Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage. I don't think Eli Manning

758
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 1: is gonna handle it very well either. I think this

759
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 1: is gonna be a low scoring game. Josh Allen, for

760
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: the nice throws he made down the stretch to beat

761
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 1: the Jets, could easily thrown five interceptions last week. I

762
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 1: I'm not sold on this guy. Um yet. Um. He

763
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 1: could prove me wrong, but we'll see. But I think

764
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: this defense is gonna shut down the Giants. I think

765
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 1: we're looking at another similar type game to what we

766
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 1: saw last week at MetLife Stadium. Something in the realm

767
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:10,800
Speaker 1: of thirteen to seven, fourteen ten. You know sixteen thirteen.

768
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 1: We will not see a shootout on Sunday here. I agree.

769
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 1: I mean, Ingram and Barkley are nothing to mess with

770
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,359
Speaker 1: a man. Ingram when they were on a screen for him,

771
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: he looks like a running back. I mean he he

772
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 1: can have. He can have a monster season for for

773
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 1: his fantasy owners. And that's enough if you can break

774
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,439
Speaker 1: a couple of big plays off. The Bill's offense doesn't

775
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 1: look like it's doing too much. Al right, West, you're

776
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 1: up number six pick. I am going don't take my pick.

777
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 1: You know I can't stay away from the Washington Redskins.

778
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 1: This rookie class they have with Terry McLaurin should have

779
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: had over two hundred yards, but case Keenum over threw

780
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 1: him on a seventy three yard t d in the

781
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 1: second half. And let's be real about why you're picking this.

782
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:56,839
Speaker 1: He's going over Terence Trent Darby for for high point

783
00:37:56,840 --> 00:38:00,439
Speaker 1: balls on the sideline back shoulder throws. Uh, you got cool.

784
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 1: Holk them their fifth round linebacker Jimmy Moreland their seventh

785
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 1: round slot receiver who was a ball hawking preseason and

786
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 1: played last week. Montest Sweat. All these rookies for the Redskins,

787
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:13,759
Speaker 1: I mean that this isn't as bad of a team

788
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 1: as you thought. And then the Dallas Cowboys, let's get

789
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl favorites, the Dallas cowstl Let's you know,

790
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: I just want to see more of Kellen Moore. See

791
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 1: what this guy is doing. This is not your father's

792
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: boring Scott Linahan offense. They are explosive, dynamic, uh tricky.

793
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 1: They're using lots of different sets and shifts totally different

794
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:41,320
Speaker 1: than what we saw. Just because more played under Lenahan

795
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 1: for seven years in Dallas and Detroit. That's not his

796
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 1: only coaching influence this creativity. It goes back to Chris

797
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 1: Peterson at Boise State, where they're using all the motions

798
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 1: and shifts and you saw it in Week one, and

799
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: I'm not sure he's gonna get that tough of an

800
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 1: opponent with the Redskins. I mean there without Jonathan Allen,

801
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 1: who's the best defensive player I thought up their front

802
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 1: seven might end up being a little frisky this year.

803
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 1: But their rookie Mantes Sweat made no impact in the preseason,

804
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,760
Speaker 1: made no impact in Week one. It is a good

805
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:13,439
Speaker 1: rookie class on balance, but I don't really see much

806
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 1: that's gonna stop him, and people need to give Dak

807
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: Prescott a little more credit. I mean, yes, Kellen Moore

808
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 1: did a great job, but four or five of those throws,

809
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 1: we're just on point, beautiful throws that Dak Prescott was

810
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 1: not too consistent making last season. It was interesting hearing

811
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: Aikman say that that Prescott insists that all this started

812
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 1: to click late last season, that he just started finally

813
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: to see the field a lot better and it's carried

814
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,840
Speaker 1: over to this year. If you look at his numbers

815
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 1: from December last year, they're pretty good. I would also,

816
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:44,800
Speaker 1: if you were on Instagram, hit up West's Instagram story

817
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:47,240
Speaker 1: because you took a photo of the notes you took

818
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 1: from this game last week, the Cowboys game, and there

819
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 1: was some amazing stuff. It was. It was cool to

820
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 1: walk because like you kind of sit it is like

821
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 1: your love for the Cowboys coming out. And you pointed

822
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:00,799
Speaker 1: out one guy, I think Randall Cobb, who I never

823
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: bought into this signing because it seemed like a very

824
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 1: Cowboys thing to do. It seemed like a very NFL

825
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 1: network thing that they would talk about every day for

826
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 1: like two d days in a row, Randall Cobb on

827
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, and I thought, well, we've we're done with

828
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 1: Randall Cobb. Please. He looked awesome last week and they

829
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:17,319
Speaker 1: used him the right way. And this is the one

830
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 1: year where the offense and the defense are surging at

831
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 1: the same time. I don't know if I credit the

832
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: Cowboys for seeing what they have in Kellen Moore or

833
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 1: keeping Scott Linahan for so long and discredit them. Why

834
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:32,240
Speaker 1: were you hanging onto an Ancienthan wasn't ready yet. Kellen

835
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 1: Moore was still trying to play. I thought the Randall

836
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,239
Speaker 1: Cob America's game or football life was a little much.

837
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 1: But you know, they were using him like Tyreek Hill,

838
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 1: did you sweep? Fake sweep? Did you mention Darius Guys?

839
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 1: He is out indefinitely, um torn meniscus. Rap sheet reported

840
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:51,399
Speaker 1: he's gonna be out several weeks. He did not run

841
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 1: well eighteen yards on ten carries against the Eagles last week.

842
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:57,479
Speaker 1: So Adrian Peterson, who you know, his coach maybe doesn't

843
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 1: want him to the team. Well he's stille now he

844
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 1: needs him. So now he's the start of the Jordan

845
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 1: Reid's still dealing with a concussion. May not play a

846
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 1: team one of their young players that they want to

847
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:07,720
Speaker 1: be developing, not not none of them. The rookie classes

848
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 1: looks good, but you'd love to see Geist and Jonathan

849
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,879
Speaker 1: Allen and Dwayne Haskins. Meanwhile, Case Gadom, he's out there.

850
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 1: He's a professional quarterback. It's a reminder you're a journeyman.

851
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,400
Speaker 1: It's all about scheme fit. He's a lot like Ryan Fitzpatrick.

852
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 1: He looks, he looks fine. Case Gadom is carving out

853
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 1: a pretty great career considering where he came from. Really

854
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:28,839
Speaker 1: nice career. He's gonna set himself up for life. And

855
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 1: he's had some moments. How many quarterbacks have entered the

856
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 1: league that since he entered that are as talented or

857
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 1: more that are gonna have about a hundred less starts

858
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 1: than Case relative to most people. But like, he's the

859
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 1: kind of guy that bounces when you look like you

860
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:47,840
Speaker 1: work with him, and then like a year and a

861
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 1: half into working with him, he's flushed out of the

862
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 1: company and he winds up somewhere else across town and

863
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:54,879
Speaker 1: you think, oh, he'll be there for a good long time,

864
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:56,839
Speaker 1: and he's flushed out a year and a half later.

865
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:59,360
Speaker 1: It's like he never lasts. He gets people fired, the

866
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 1: team cave in, and then he gets another starting job

867
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:04,800
Speaker 1: or a backup jobs, maxing out his his You know, individual,

868
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:07,240
Speaker 1: we've done this long enough. By the way, this podcast

869
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 1: now where I could state by memory that once upon

870
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 1: a time, Case Keenum was nobody that West got behind

871
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 1: during a nice little run he had with the Texan

872
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 1: I'm talking years ago. That's your case, Keenum flag flog. Yeah,

873
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 1: the keys Genum flag flew. And then I believe you

874
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 1: got out after a while when he couldn't handle the blitz. Yeah.

875
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 1: The his Rams tenure under Jeff Fisher was kind of

876
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 1: the low point. And then of course the rise of

877
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 1: the Vikings. The Broncos a little shaky last year. He's

878
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: good for him. He's had a nice NFL career. If

879
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 1: the Cowboys were paying attention to Jay Gruden's press conference,

880
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 1: I guess they'll know that Adrian Peterson will be in

881
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 1: the I formation fifty five times in this game. Um,

882
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 1: I got a total steel here at seven overall Minnesota

883
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 1: Vikings at the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Kiss a

884
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 1: good one. Thank you feel your jealousy. Yeah, that's what

885
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 1: I would have taken. Yes, that's the best feeling. That's

886
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: the best guy and draft and again they're they're one consideration.

887
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,279
Speaker 1: Where the announcers in that game. I'll just leave it

888
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 1: at that. I today am i announcers? I said, do

889
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,320
Speaker 1: I want to spend three hours with this gentleman? But

890
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: your name on it? Come on, who is it? What's

891
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 1: the announcer? I want to spend three hours with Chris

892
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 1: Meyers to see the problem? Gregs you you should not

893
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 1: be giving away that secret to us, because now I

894
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 1: will be thinking about that when I go, because I'm

895
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:27,359
Speaker 1: gonna get stuck with a certain announcing team or two

896
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 1: that has driven me nearly insane on a couple of

897
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 1: the other way to do it. If you're watching, it's

898
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 1: up there, it's out there, it's through, it's all right,

899
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 1: it's the best field goal call in the game. Um,

900
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 1: when you're watching two games, one of them for me,

901
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:41,360
Speaker 1: always has the volume and then the other one is

902
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 1: a little bit more subdued volume wise, So that might

903
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:46,719
Speaker 1: be what ends up happening here with and I have

904
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 1: a third and fourth one. What do you think the

905
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 1: volume on those are gonna be. I have no idea

906
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 1: what's happening for you for these early games. But yeah,

907
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:57,359
Speaker 1: I think this is a great game with UM chock

908
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:01,280
Speaker 1: full of storylines to track here because I love the Vikings.

909
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 1: I absolutely think that they are going to be hanging

910
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:06,280
Speaker 1: around that they are. They are a final four. Nobody

911
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 1: uses final four in football. I'm the only one that

912
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:10,920
Speaker 1: does it. I got what's wrong with the final four?

913
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:17,399
Speaker 1: I mean, heavis, but it gives you what you need. Oh,

914
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 1: one of the last four teams standing out of thirty

915
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,320
Speaker 1: two failed it. I went bank on the Dean screen

916
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 1: phenomenon with this one. I think they can play in

917
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 1: the NFC title game. I think they have that type

918
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 1: of ability. I think they can make a run like

919
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 1: their balance UM and this will be a good test because, yes,

920
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 1: the one thing we still don't really know about UM

921
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,440
Speaker 1: with the Vikings their offensive line. Will it hold up?

922
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 1: It did really well against the Falcons and what was

923
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 1: a complete effort in Week one, But now we got

924
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:46,319
Speaker 1: the Packers who really really thrived as we all know,

925
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:49,919
Speaker 1: defensively in the Thursday night opener. Uh. And what makes

926
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:52,799
Speaker 1: this so interesting for me is the Packers who were

927
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 1: in general always kind of an interesting team. Um with

928
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers out front, you see if their defense can

929
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 1: back it up again with another big effort against the

930
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:03,399
Speaker 1: good Vikings offense, and then you get to see, all right,

931
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:05,839
Speaker 1: Matt Lafleur, alright, Aaron Rodgers will give you a bit

932
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:07,839
Speaker 1: of a mulligan in week one. You gotta win with

933
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 1: your defense and everyone it's you know, the narrative has

934
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 1: taken hold across the football agna centy that Week one

935
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:20,399
Speaker 1: is very tough for offenses because of the lack of reps. Well,

936
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:23,399
Speaker 1: no more excuses you have. You have a full week

937
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 1: one game, you had another full week of practices. I

938
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 1: want to see something from the Packers on offense, and uh,

939
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 1: the Vikings present a challenge that he certainly presented a

940
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 1: challenge to the Falcons last week. I just think this

941
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 1: is a great game. It's a tough one to pick

942
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 1: because I don't know who the Packers are yet. I

943
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:41,360
Speaker 1: think I know who the Vikings are. I do not

944
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 1: know who the Packers are. I would put the Packers

945
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 1: at number thirty two in my confidence rankings for figuring

946
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 1: out who they are. I who knows if their offense

947
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:51,760
Speaker 1: played so bad because the Bears defense was as physically

948
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 1: imposing as any defense I saw in Week one, or

949
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:57,720
Speaker 1: if they're deep, if the Packers defense played great because

950
00:45:57,719 --> 00:45:59,959
Speaker 1: it was Mitch Robinsky in over his head and making

951
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 1: bad throws. I just don't know who this team is.

952
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:04,479
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I know who the Vikings are either.

953
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:07,360
Speaker 1: After a game where they throw ten passes, you know,

954
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 1: like that was such a strange game that they got

955
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 1: ahead early, they didn't have to do much offensively. The

956
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 1: players look great. I mean, Xavier Rhodes looks great. Uh,

957
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 1: Anthony Harris. Their safety looks great. And I know I'm big,

958
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a big believer in this offense. But

959
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:24,799
Speaker 1: this is a much tougher matchup defensively this week. I

960
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 1: know this is essentially the team of I don't know

961
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:29,319
Speaker 1: what we call it, hands, hands. This is the team

962
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:31,720
Speaker 1: of hands right now. I noticed on on the power

963
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:36,279
Speaker 1: rankings this week, I mean they zoomed up to I mean, Dan,

964
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 1: that's a very a very um you know you're using

965
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 1: science behind the rank it's a real feel. Dan is

966
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 1: on multiple hits, he's on GMFB, he's on NFL Network,

967
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 1: and he's talking Vikings everywhere he goes. Now we've got

968
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 1: to be very cooinet up in the clearing. We have

969
00:46:55,239 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 1: the incredibly real Nfilm Networks hands. Oh it's all right,

970
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 1: well done. Where did you find that, I'm loan? Was

971
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:15,719
Speaker 1: that in my bedroom last night? Yeah? I got it

972
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 1: three am. That was the three minutes before the show

973
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:24,319
Speaker 1: for about four straight years. Um, yes, yeah, that's good,

974
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 1: that's good. I do like the Vikings a lot. And uh,

975
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:30,279
Speaker 1: as I said, great game, I'm excited. What do you think, Mark?

976
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 1: Do you feel because I know I'm got you out

977
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:34,799
Speaker 1: of the Packers right now? Oh. What I really liked

978
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 1: about the Packers was the fact that my issue with

979
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 1: them was that it was always so offensive heavy, and

980
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 1: the defense would let them down in big spots year

981
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 1: after year, and then we'd spend the whole off season,

982
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:47,359
Speaker 1: the whole season getting back to that same January game.

983
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 1: I think Mike Petton and the Packers are a very

984
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 1: good marriage right now. He's got the right players to

985
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:53,800
Speaker 1: make it work. I don't think they're gonna play a

986
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:56,319
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears offense every week. I think we're gonna find

987
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 1: out that offense has some issues. And what we saw

988
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:01,440
Speaker 1: from Minnesota is that's what they want. I don't know

989
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 1: what they are, but that's what they want to be.

990
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:05,880
Speaker 1: But every week the guard play for the Packers was awful.

991
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 1: David Back had a terrible game battle. Yeah, But Brian Bulaga,

992
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:12,800
Speaker 1: who is a key to this thing, who really hasn't

993
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 1: helped them that much the last couple of years, had

994
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:17,600
Speaker 1: a great week one, and I think that's a really

995
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:20,920
Speaker 1: good sign, uh for the Green Bay Packers. I don't know.

996
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:22,880
Speaker 1: I like him at home. And if the Packers offense

997
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:26,759
Speaker 1: stays this way for a month, it's gonna get loud there.

998
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:28,600
Speaker 1: I mean, this is not what people are going to

999
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 1: accept on West. Does this qualify as a grandmassance? Jimmy

1000
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 1: Graham nineteen fifty three catches, seven and thirty eight yards,

1001
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 1: ten touchdowns. That's pedestrian for a starting tight end. This

1002
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:46,080
Speaker 1: this game, it reminds me of alright, ten tds, I'll

1003
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:49,279
Speaker 1: give it to you ten. Yeah. I didn't he went

1004
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 1: with this fifty and seven something. I was like, that's

1005
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 1: I imagined touchdowns long with your final four, I'm just

1006
00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:59,239
Speaker 1: imagining a grandmother When you say that, I don't we

1007
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 1: need to work works be a little bit worried about

1008
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 1: the leaping ability that used to be dynamic and explosive

1009
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:08,240
Speaker 1: and now is like Larry Bird level. He did box

1010
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:11,799
Speaker 1: out like a basketball player on that touchdown one one

1011
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 1: Grammy Jimmy Graham touched on might get it done. This

1012
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 1: is like the old Chris Burham and NFC Norris right now,

1013
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 1: all four teams, the divisions are are, the defenses are

1014
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:22,760
Speaker 1: better than there. Let's pick this game. I'm taking the Packers,

1015
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:28,560
Speaker 1: me too. No, you gotta you got coin flip game,

1016
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:30,720
Speaker 1: but I'm rolling with I'm with you on the Vikings

1017
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 1: like them, I'm going Packers eight seventeen. Alright, Greg, you

1018
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:39,200
Speaker 1: have the snake pick. What is that what they call it?

1019
00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 1: Not all right? I am gonna go with a game

1020
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:45,920
Speaker 1: that I'm I'm just gonna go out and say right now,

1021
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:48,840
Speaker 1: I'm locking up the Pittsburgh Steelers to beat the Seattle

1022
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:52,239
Speaker 1: Seahawks this week. I'm gonna give the Pittsburgh Steelers a

1023
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:55,880
Speaker 1: mulligan for last week. I believe in this roster. I

1024
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 1: don't think Ben Roethlisberger is gonna play that poorly every week.

1025
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:02,640
Speaker 1: More to the point, I do not believe in the Seahawks,

1026
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 1: not just because they looked like the inferior team against Cincinnati,

1027
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:09,840
Speaker 1: not just because they've really struggled on the road early

1028
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 1: in seasons. With Pete Carroll, it takes some a little

1029
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:15,760
Speaker 1: while to warm up, But just what are they? Where's

1030
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:18,160
Speaker 1: the talent? Like the offensive line, which we thought would

1031
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:20,239
Speaker 1: be better, did not have a good game. The defensive

1032
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:23,560
Speaker 1: backs are uneven at best. They're gonna be without Puna Ford,

1033
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:26,080
Speaker 1: who has really helped on their defensive line. There's so

1034
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 1: many holes in this group. And they're going on the

1035
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:31,759
Speaker 1: road to a Steelers team who is embarrassed by what

1036
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 1: happened last week. And I think the Steelers just take

1037
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 1: care of business and it's pretty easy. I agree, But

1038
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:40,680
Speaker 1: I'd say the Seahawks do have some interesting talent. DK Metcalf,

1039
00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 1: in addition to making several big plays down the field,

1040
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:48,160
Speaker 1: drew an end zone pass interference penalty. Pete Carroll thinks

1041
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:51,600
Speaker 1: that he's got the best linebacking core of his yes,

1042
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:55,080
Speaker 1: of his Seahawks career. They really like Michael Kendricks there.

1043
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:57,880
Speaker 1: It's a shot against Bruce Servants Bow I feel like

1044
00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:00,279
Speaker 1: back in the day. But yeah, because they had Right

1045
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:04,040
Speaker 1: Wagner and Bruce everyon their linebackers. They do have great things.

1046
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:06,319
Speaker 1: They have Russell Wilson, so they have a chance every week,

1047
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:09,879
Speaker 1: but they still have Brian Schottenheimer. Colin plays like Brian

1048
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 1: Schottenheimer got schooled last week by Louan and Marona. I

1049
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:16,959
Speaker 1: don't know how to say his name. I don't rubber bands,

1050
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 1: and I'm a little concerned hearing about Juju Smith. Schuster's

1051
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:23,720
Speaker 1: toe still nagging him, and I wonder, you know, he

1052
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 1: he was shut down last week by the Patriots. And

1053
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:29,720
Speaker 1: this is what kind of like the Broncos going to Oakland.

1054
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:31,719
Speaker 1: It's the Mulligan like you're saying, where I just want

1055
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 1: to wipe everything we saw and just say this is

1056
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:37,839
Speaker 1: the Steelers starting right now. But I don't really. It's

1057
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:39,800
Speaker 1: easy just to ticke at them for eleven or twelve

1058
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:42,640
Speaker 1: wins every year. But Seattle, to me, is a more

1059
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:44,880
Speaker 1: resilient team than that, and I know that they It

1060
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:47,359
Speaker 1: was an ugly game last week against the Bengals because

1061
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 1: they drove up and down the field against Seattle's defense.

1062
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 1: But Seattle also found a way to coax Andy Dalton

1063
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:55,680
Speaker 1: into two turnovers. You know, Big Ben last year in

1064
00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:58,360
Speaker 1: Week one had that six turnover game against the Browns

1065
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:01,360
Speaker 1: and they did bounce back, but this is another terrible

1066
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:03,400
Speaker 1: Week one performance by Big Bennett. What point does he

1067
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:05,920
Speaker 1: not at you know is the age keeps creeping on

1068
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 1: and he's lost to star players around him. James Connor

1069
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:10,960
Speaker 1: got shut out last week. I don't know. I'm not

1070
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:14,000
Speaker 1: just banning this spis can Dante Moncrief make a play

1071
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:15,880
Speaker 1: one time in his career? He said it was the

1072
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:18,879
Speaker 1: worst game he's He almost catches every pass for its

1073
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:22,759
Speaker 1: entire care He'll almost catch everything. The numbers, what do

1074
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:24,640
Speaker 1: you have four drops in that game? I mean, this

1075
00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:26,920
Speaker 1: is who he is playing like a broken finger, But

1076
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:30,160
Speaker 1: why are you playing him every snap? Every offense he

1077
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:32,719
Speaker 1: goes to is one of the least efficient passing offenses

1078
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 1: in the league. And as you can see next to this,

1079
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:38,279
Speaker 1: I also am with you on this. I believe the

1080
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:41,880
Speaker 1: Steelers are going to win handily. They're gonna be angry.

1081
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:44,560
Speaker 1: So lock it up for the old Zeuser and the

1082
00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:47,560
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers and what you Everything you said makes sense

1083
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:50,360
Speaker 1: to Mark. So there is a and there is a

1084
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:53,080
Speaker 1: world in a reality where this plays out, where the

1085
00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:56,359
Speaker 1: Steelers stumble and all of a sudden you're thinking, wait,

1086
00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 1: do they not have legit playmakers did we all kind

1087
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:03,239
Speaker 1: of over are underrate how how important those losses were

1088
00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:06,120
Speaker 1: for this team. But I'm for now, I I believe

1089
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:08,520
Speaker 1: them to be a team that had a really bad

1090
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 1: Sunday night and we'll bounce back. I just have to

1091
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:14,080
Speaker 1: show me that you wrote down the lock I would

1092
00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:15,879
Speaker 1: I would believe. I hate the way they didn't show

1093
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:17,719
Speaker 1: up at all anneway that that to me was just

1094
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:20,439
Speaker 1: like what are we getting behind all year? And where

1095
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:21,920
Speaker 1: is this gonna end up? It's gonna end up where

1096
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:25,360
Speaker 1: it always ends up. You should be you should be

1097
00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:28,560
Speaker 1: on the anti Steelers corner because for whatever reason, I

1098
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:31,879
Speaker 1: way higher on the Steelers than almost anywhere else, which

1099
00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:35,240
Speaker 1: maybe like at this point in life, I'm not sitting

1100
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:37,440
Speaker 1: around and deriving a lot of joy about another a

1101
00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:39,960
Speaker 1: f C North team struggling. There's like, what I mean,

1102
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:42,239
Speaker 1: how what is what's coming out of that piece of fruit?

1103
00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:46,680
Speaker 1: Not much that doesn't smell test well. I'm I honestly like,

1104
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:49,439
Speaker 1: do I sound that thrilled? Like I like something a little?

1105
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:51,560
Speaker 1: To me, It's more like I don't want to like

1106
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:55,399
Speaker 1: miss misconstrue their expectations all year long for a very

1107
00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:57,520
Speaker 1: known result, which we do with teams all that reminder,

1108
00:53:57,600 --> 00:53:59,839
Speaker 1: they went nine six and one last year, so they

1109
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:01,840
Speaker 1: did take a step back last year, so we shouldn't

1110
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:04,360
Speaker 1: assume them to be a twelve game winner. But I

1111
00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:07,359
Speaker 1: think they'll be. I think they're a power players. I'm

1112
00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:10,160
Speaker 1: just eyeing this like grab bag of stinkers that's heading

1113
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:11,879
Speaker 1: my way to cover at the end of this so

1114
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 1: cal it's a sneaking back this way. Oh yeah, up again,

1115
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:21,280
Speaker 1: I'm unprepared for this. Well he missed. That's like the Vikings.

1116
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:25,319
Speaker 1: They missed. The slot goes to Dan. No, I'll I'll

1117
00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:28,279
Speaker 1: go with um same thing I did last week. Have

1118
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:30,640
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson in that nice backup game where I don't

1119
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 1: have to focus every last second. I'll watch it a

1120
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:34,560
Speaker 1: little later on game pass and really see it. But

1121
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:37,280
Speaker 1: you can see the fire show out of the corner

1122
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:39,839
Speaker 1: of your eye. Every listener out there predicted this one

1123
00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:43,720
Speaker 1: at home on their own mock drafts. They predicted Greg

1124
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:45,600
Speaker 1: was taking Lamar Jackson. Well, you know what, it's a

1125
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:47,319
Speaker 1: nice corner to be on right now. You might as

1126
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:49,840
Speaker 1: well enjoy it. I mean, it's like I said, he

1127
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:51,319
Speaker 1: was gonna be the most fun player in the league

1128
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:54,120
Speaker 1: to watch. And he he like exerted a force of

1129
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:57,439
Speaker 1: will unlike anything we've ever seen. Last week. That wasn't

1130
00:54:57,440 --> 00:54:59,719
Speaker 1: a criticism. I'm just saying the listeners mock drafts had

1131
00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:01,799
Speaker 1: this one. He did some nice little things too on

1132
00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:03,960
Speaker 1: his out routes. Didn't see a lot of those at

1133
00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:07,160
Speaker 1: some of the non highlight plays. Uh. And the defense

1134
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:09,000
Speaker 1: played pretty well against may Man. Know it was Miami,

1135
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:14,080
Speaker 1: but Patrick onwnwasu who they're really high on. His hair

1136
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:16,239
Speaker 1: was on fire about the Ravens this morning. Well that's why.

1137
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:18,960
Speaker 1: That's to my point on I can get excited about

1138
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:21,840
Speaker 1: a team that goes into the season with a plan,

1139
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:24,799
Speaker 1: and I thought that the first twenty minutes of this

1140
00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:27,879
Speaker 1: game basically told you that the front office nailed their

1141
00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 1: off season about as well as you could possibly hope.

1142
00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:35,279
Speaker 1: Mark Irvin or mark Ingram mark Ingram absolutely burning down

1143
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:39,640
Speaker 1: the house on Baltimore's first drive. You know what, I

1144
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:43,600
Speaker 1: think some people doubted. People doubted what he would do

1145
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:48,240
Speaker 1: in Baltimore, and he looked awesome right on defense. Earl

1146
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:51,759
Speaker 1: Thomas picks off the pass on Miami's first possession, and

1147
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:54,600
Speaker 1: then their first round draft pick, Hollywood Brown blows up

1148
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:57,120
Speaker 1: for two touchdowns over the next couple of drives, and

1149
00:55:57,160 --> 00:56:00,600
Speaker 1: then they have two other wide receivers catching deep touchdowns too.

1150
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:03,759
Speaker 1: It's like, well, they did everything, and I love that

1151
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 1: marks making hand motions that like white rappers make. Greg

1152
00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:11,439
Speaker 1: Roman basically said that they were medieval on teams this year,

1153
00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:12,960
Speaker 1: and that's fine thing to say. In the middle of

1154
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:15,799
Speaker 1: the off season. It was not just the Dolphins. It

1155
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:18,200
Speaker 1: had nothing. It did. Yes, the Dolphins looked to me

1156
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:20,839
Speaker 1: like they cannot push anyone on either side of the ball,

1157
00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:23,840
Speaker 1: and they are a man down on every play. But

1158
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 1: they got torched in a way that few teams in

1159
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:31,960
Speaker 1: the NFL do. M I predict tough times for Kyler

1160
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:36,200
Speaker 1: Murray in this scheme. I don't know what Martindale is

1161
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:39,480
Speaker 1: going to bring the house when he had some time

1162
00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:41,480
Speaker 1: to make a throw. Man, it's pretty, but they're just

1163
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:46,160
Speaker 1: why would we think that he's going to have time. Um,

1164
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:49,279
Speaker 1: all right, I'm having an unbelievable draft. I'm having off

1165
00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 1: I'm having a pretty horrible UM. Thursday, I woke up

1166
00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:57,800
Speaker 1: to the news that my favorite quarterback has effing motto

1167
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:01,840
Speaker 1: and my season's over, um, and my hopes and dreams

1168
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:03,840
Speaker 1: are destroyed, and hey, that's coming up later on the

1169
00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 1: Around the NFL podcast. UM, but I am having a

1170
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:09,360
Speaker 1: good draft because I'm very excited to announce that I

1171
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:13,560
Speaker 1: am selecting the Colts at Tennessee Tyitoons as my third

1172
00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:18,640
Speaker 1: overall pick. Two teams that really interested me in Week one,

1173
00:57:18,680 --> 00:57:21,320
Speaker 1: you have the Cults, who were on the wrong end

1174
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:26,840
Speaker 1: of a very good um road effort. They lose an overtime. Um,

1175
00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:30,400
Speaker 1: there were some cracks they could not stop um the run.

1176
00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:33,920
Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler killed him down the stretch and they never

1177
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:35,800
Speaker 1: even got a chance to get on the field and overtime.

1178
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:39,040
Speaker 1: But they also showed a lot of hot and bouncing

1179
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:42,000
Speaker 1: back there um down the stretch and getting the touchdown

1180
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:44,840
Speaker 1: of the two point conversion. Uh t Y Hilton showed

1181
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:48,600
Speaker 1: that just because Andrew Lux gone, he is not irrelevant.

1182
00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:52,680
Speaker 1: Uh And and Jake Briskett, who they didn't ask him

1183
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:57,919
Speaker 1: to do a ton um slice of Jake, They didn't

1184
00:57:57,920 --> 00:57:59,120
Speaker 1: ask him to do a ton of that game, but

1185
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:01,640
Speaker 1: he delivered and gave what what what more can you ask?

1186
00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:04,560
Speaker 1: Where really from Jake Brisket Um. And then there's this

1187
00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:09,240
Speaker 1: interesting angle um Chris Westling the Titans versus the Cult

1188
00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:13,439
Speaker 1: since two thousand twelve versus Andrew Luck, the Titans never

1189
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:18,760
Speaker 1: won once. Oh and eleven versus Jake Brisket, they swept him,

1190
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:21,760
Speaker 1: uh the only two times. So the Titans who are

1191
00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 1: feeling really good in general right now, and I get it,

1192
00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:26,200
Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna rain on their parade. They had

1193
00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:29,760
Speaker 1: such a great week one against Cleveland, um uh they

1194
00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:32,640
Speaker 1: now the the good times keep getting better because now

1195
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:37,280
Speaker 1: you play the Colts in your building, and yes, Andrew Luck,

1196
00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:41,680
Speaker 1: your your boogeyman is bye bye. That's set up. That

1197
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:44,919
Speaker 1: streak is gone. It's gonna be gone it this week

1198
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:49,400
Speaker 1: and I'm locking it up. Oh that Luck Titans win

1199
00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:52,360
Speaker 1: this game. You know, the thrill is gone for me

1200
00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:56,360
Speaker 1: in the Colts. Intellectually, I appreciate what their back said.

1201
00:58:56,400 --> 00:58:59,840
Speaker 1: It's fine. I appreciate what they're building intellectually, but I'm

1202
00:58:59,840 --> 00:59:01,760
Speaker 1: a omotionally bankrupt when it comes to this team. They

1203
00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:03,760
Speaker 1: put me to sleep, and I'm sorry. The heart wants

1204
00:59:03,760 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 1: what the heart wants, and my heart wanted Andrew Luck

1205
00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:08,320
Speaker 1: with the Cults, I think we should get rid of

1206
00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:10,760
Speaker 1: the heart wants what the heart wants. As a phrase

1207
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:12,840
Speaker 1: considering it was said by Woody Allen but that's like,

1208
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:15,600
Speaker 1: you have that power on this. I want to do

1209
00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:17,480
Speaker 1: it and blast Let's blast that phrase in time. I

1210
00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:19,400
Speaker 1: made that rule change before you can make a rule

1211
00:59:19,480 --> 00:59:22,040
Speaker 1: change here, I'm gonna keep using the heart ones what

1212
00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:24,439
Speaker 1: the heart wants because it's a good quote. These guys

1213
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:26,800
Speaker 1: don't start fighting against the context of it, that's all.

1214
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:28,720
Speaker 1: That would be an amazing fight that you guys had

1215
00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:34,760
Speaker 1: over Woody Allen, but we'll save that for the nebishy podcast.

1216
00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:40,200
Speaker 1: Go on. Uh. It reminds me of that little anecdote

1217
00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:42,240
Speaker 1: about Mark Twain, how he grew up frolicking on the

1218
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:45,200
Speaker 1: Mississippi River and then once he got it became a

1219
00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:47,840
Speaker 1: riverboat pilot and started to look at it scientifically, it

1220
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:51,200
Speaker 1: lost its beauty. He didn't appreciate the esthetics of it anymore.

1221
00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:53,680
Speaker 1: And that's kind of how I feel about the Colts.

1222
00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:55,320
Speaker 1: It's a little There's something to be said for gut

1223
00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:58,560
Speaker 1: feelings and emotions over intellect when it comes to sports fandom.

1224
00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:01,960
Speaker 1: I thought that the Titans broke Cleveland in the second

1225
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:04,560
Speaker 1: half last week, that they are not a perfect offense

1226
01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:07,160
Speaker 1: Tennessee at all. In the in Mariotta was running around

1227
01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:10,000
Speaker 1: a little bit early on but the Derrick Henry, you know,

1228
01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:12,480
Speaker 1: he's not Christian McCaffrey or anything, but he does just

1229
01:00:12,680 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 1: enough at certain points. When he hit that seventy five

1230
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:18,240
Speaker 1: yard catch and run for the touchdown, it broke Cleveland

1231
01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:21,440
Speaker 1: and their defense confused Baker Mayfield from the very beginning.

1232
01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:24,600
Speaker 1: And when we called them the Titoons, it was because

1233
01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:27,360
Speaker 1: they kind of they were. Well, I don't because you

1234
01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:30,520
Speaker 1: go watch that game against Cleveland like they are a

1235
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:33,440
Speaker 1: top five looking defense right now. The way they played

1236
01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:35,360
Speaker 1: last week, I thought that they out the side of

1237
01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:39,200
Speaker 1: the first drive for the Browns. They confused, controlled and

1238
01:00:39,240 --> 01:00:41,600
Speaker 1: destroyed the Browns last week. Can we just see what

1239
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:44,680
Speaker 1: they do in Week two though, I'm saying that, but

1240
01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:46,600
Speaker 1: we also can say that about every one of these

1241
01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:50,840
Speaker 1: other teams, especially they are I'm not on board with

1242
01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:54,680
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota necessarily, but this defense, which played well all

1243
01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:58,440
Speaker 1: last season is it's just as they they they finished

1244
01:00:58,520 --> 01:01:00,720
Speaker 1: high and scoring because there is they had so few

1245
01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:03,360
Speaker 1: possessions in like points per possession, they were middle of

1246
01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:05,360
Speaker 1: the pack, yards for play, middle of the pack, turning

1247
01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:06,840
Speaker 1: the ball over the middle of the pack. I think

1248
01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:09,600
Speaker 1: they played good team defense, and now they've got a

1249
01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:12,080
Speaker 1: lot of veterans. The secondary should have a lot of continuity.

1250
01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:17,200
Speaker 1: They should get better a good defense if they continue

1251
01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:19,200
Speaker 1: some trends, and again we have to wait. They are

1252
01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:22,200
Speaker 1: generating turnovers and Camera Wake was a huge difference to make.

1253
01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:24,640
Speaker 1: Yet well, I think that the Dolphins had decided that

1254
01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:28,360
Speaker 1: Cameron Wake was in the rotational backup pass rusher phase

1255
01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:31,120
Speaker 1: of his career, and he showed and we one that

1256
01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:35,080
Speaker 1: he is still downright explosive. He's fast, he can play

1257
01:01:35,640 --> 01:01:38,320
Speaker 1: a starting role. And I think the two questions about

1258
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:41,000
Speaker 1: the Titans for me were Howard Delaney Walker and Cam

1259
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:43,960
Speaker 1: Wake gonna look this year because they're older, Are they

1260
01:01:43,960 --> 01:01:46,480
Speaker 1: on the back nine of their careers and they're done? They?

1261
01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:50,840
Speaker 1: I thought, they answered quashion. That's why Cameron Wake can

1262
01:01:50,880 --> 01:01:53,120
Speaker 1: be good. He played twenty three snaps last week. I mean,

1263
01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:54,880
Speaker 1: he is kind of that guy off the bench that's

1264
01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:57,880
Speaker 1: gonna give you crazy energy. Delanny Walker changes them and A. J.

1265
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:00,480
Speaker 1: Brown changes them because now they have some shot play ability.

1266
01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:03,880
Speaker 1: It's Walkers maybe not gonna make those shop plays, but

1267
01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:05,280
Speaker 1: he helps to set them up in the way that

1268
01:02:05,320 --> 01:02:08,280
Speaker 1: you're going to cover them, and that was missing from them.

1269
01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:10,880
Speaker 1: Romo was really impressed with Arthur Smith debut as the

1270
01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:14,240
Speaker 1: play color a lot of pop I I you know,

1271
01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:16,840
Speaker 1: in defending. The Colts had that ball I think nine

1272
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:20,720
Speaker 1: times in the in the regular uh you know, in regulation,

1273
01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:24,480
Speaker 1: and they still scored twenty four points that included seven

1274
01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 1: points of miskicks. The offense played very well. The defense

1275
01:02:27,760 --> 01:02:30,880
Speaker 1: was basically a disaster against the Chargers. And if you

1276
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:32,760
Speaker 1: know that, they could have given up forty in that game,

1277
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:35,120
Speaker 1: and that that's concerning if you're a Colts fan. Alright,

1278
01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:37,600
Speaker 1: West are four games left to choose from. What do

1279
01:02:37,640 --> 01:02:42,600
Speaker 1: you got? There are four mm hmm, oh, excuse me?

1280
01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:48,600
Speaker 1: Three games. I I hate doing this. I'm gonna choose

1281
01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:53,120
Speaker 1: to watch that. Grab the drab grey green turf in

1282
01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:59,280
Speaker 1: Ford Field. Let some sunlight in the building, please. Chargers

1283
01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:04,120
Speaker 1: at law Ends is my pick. Let's rip the roof off,

1284
01:03:04,520 --> 01:03:06,760
Speaker 1: get get rid of some of those black pebbles you

1285
01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:08,800
Speaker 1: keep in your turf, and try to have some real

1286
01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:12,760
Speaker 1: grass or something. Give me a break with that. Anyway,

1287
01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:16,040
Speaker 1: it's the right week to face the Chargers because Hunter

1288
01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:20,280
Speaker 1: Henry got awful new, unbelievable about the plateau fractibial plateau

1289
01:03:20,320 --> 01:03:23,840
Speaker 1: fracture which they're they're still holding. I hope he'll come

1290
01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:26,880
Speaker 1: back later in the year. Mike Williams, I don't. It

1291
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:29,360
Speaker 1: doesn't look like he's gonna play this week. Uh. Their

1292
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:34,200
Speaker 1: number two receiver and Transcott. Transcott at left tackle was

1293
01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:37,360
Speaker 1: exposed last week. He had a bad game. They have

1294
01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:39,800
Speaker 1: so many issues on their offense right now. The Chargers

1295
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:42,040
Speaker 1: do that. I just feel like for the Lions this

1296
01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:44,440
Speaker 1: this is the right week to overcome that, giving up

1297
01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:47,520
Speaker 1: that big lead and weak one. I wonder if Matt

1298
01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:51,080
Speaker 1: Patricia has any thing he learned in New England on

1299
01:03:51,200 --> 01:03:53,919
Speaker 1: slowing down Philip Rivers. They did a pretty good job

1300
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:55,720
Speaker 1: over the years. I went back to look when when

1301
01:03:55,720 --> 01:03:59,360
Speaker 1: Patricia was there, Rivers never really had those big games

1302
01:03:59,400 --> 01:04:01,680
Speaker 1: against them. I was not in love with the way

1303
01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:04,360
Speaker 1: they You know, that defense gave up the lead to

1304
01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:08,160
Speaker 1: Arizona without sending any pressure to Kyler Murray. Kind of that.

1305
01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:10,439
Speaker 1: Patricia seems a little bit asleep at the wheel there.

1306
01:04:11,080 --> 01:04:14,080
Speaker 1: M hmmm. I don't like that he has to coach

1307
01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:16,680
Speaker 1: with a crutch under his arm from behind the bench.

1308
01:04:16,760 --> 01:04:19,000
Speaker 1: That I mean, it's the show weakness. It's not fair,

1309
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:22,760
Speaker 1: but it just I'm not suprimised. He's got a physical issue.

1310
01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:26,640
Speaker 1: It's not. I mean, he's not choosing to be a

1311
01:04:26,680 --> 01:04:29,440
Speaker 1: bunch of Gatorade coolers. And exactly is that something that

1312
01:04:29,480 --> 01:04:33,640
Speaker 1: inspires confidence from It's not. It's a towering and fear

1313
01:04:33,720 --> 01:04:37,919
Speaker 1: behind a bunch of struggle. It struggles from an optical side,

1314
01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:40,360
Speaker 1: behind the moat while the while the armies out there. Finn.

1315
01:04:40,680 --> 01:04:42,880
Speaker 1: I mean you mentioned all the players that are missing

1316
01:04:42,920 --> 01:04:45,680
Speaker 1: from the Chargers. Are just fair which team is more

1317
01:04:45,680 --> 01:04:50,280
Speaker 1: talented though? In this game? Still the Chargers. That's how

1318
01:04:50,440 --> 01:04:54,480
Speaker 1: it's crazy. It's probably still the Chargers, which I mean

1319
01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:57,000
Speaker 1: on the clip side, there's abuse for them to never

1320
01:04:57,040 --> 01:04:58,800
Speaker 1: do anything in the playoffs. You still have both, So

1321
01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:01,400
Speaker 1: you still have Ingram, you still Keenan Allen, you still

1322
01:05:01,440 --> 01:05:03,760
Speaker 1: have Philip Rivers, you still have that back face, you

1323
01:05:03,840 --> 01:05:06,040
Speaker 1: still have Casey Hayward. They don't have t J. Hawkey

1324
01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:08,360
Speaker 1: got a lot. I went back and watched that West

1325
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:10,560
Speaker 1: t J. Hawkins and that guy he's nice, isn't he?

1326
01:05:11,480 --> 01:05:14,080
Speaker 1: And you made the good point how usually tight ends

1327
01:05:14,120 --> 01:05:16,200
Speaker 1: don't make an instant impact. Even Gronk, who was kind

1328
01:05:16,200 --> 01:05:20,600
Speaker 1: of worked into the Patriots attack. Um I remember Algie

1329
01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:24,520
Speaker 1: Crumpler was a primary tight end that two thousand ten season. Um,

1330
01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:27,600
Speaker 1: but good memory. Yeah, he had a huge drop in

1331
01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:30,800
Speaker 1: that Jets playoff loss, that's all. Yeah, But um, I

1332
01:05:30,840 --> 01:05:33,439
Speaker 1: think that he seems like a guy that could change

1333
01:05:33,440 --> 01:05:36,520
Speaker 1: their offense if he has like a George Kittle type

1334
01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:38,760
Speaker 1: stretched the field, like kill everybody guy in the middle

1335
01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:41,200
Speaker 1: of the field. They're lying dead play well against a

1336
01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:43,959
Speaker 1: pretty bad Cardinals defense, so that would that would bother

1337
01:05:44,040 --> 01:05:46,040
Speaker 1: me a little bit. But I do agree that Hawkinson

1338
01:05:46,120 --> 01:05:49,080
Speaker 1: can be a transformative player for that offense. Alright, Mark,

1339
01:05:49,120 --> 01:05:51,280
Speaker 1: wrap us up with a double? All right? Well, am

1340
01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:53,400
Speaker 1: I am I wrong? Or they're not three games left?

1341
01:05:53,880 --> 01:05:57,360
Speaker 1: There are two? Okay, well, then I obviously will be

1342
01:05:57,480 --> 01:05:58,960
Speaker 1: You want to know the two games? I thought that

1343
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:06,120
Speaker 1: San Francisco at Land at Cincinnati, nationally televised New England.

1344
01:06:06,280 --> 01:06:08,040
Speaker 1: I guess you can't cut that from a live show.

1345
01:06:08,120 --> 01:06:11,400
Speaker 1: So that's how this works anyway, San Francisco at Cincinnati,

1346
01:06:11,480 --> 01:06:13,120
Speaker 1: New England at Miami. A right, Well, there's not a

1347
01:06:13,160 --> 01:06:15,840
Speaker 1: whole lot of suspense here. There's options left. I'm gonna

1348
01:06:15,840 --> 01:06:17,880
Speaker 1: take because just in theory, if there were a lot

1349
01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:20,960
Speaker 1: of picks, I would go New England at Miami because

1350
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:23,080
Speaker 1: when you suddenly got four games to observe at the

1351
01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:25,800
Speaker 1: same time like a crazy person hoping one of them

1352
01:06:25,840 --> 01:06:28,200
Speaker 1: is like a big lopsided affair. This will probably wind up.

1353
01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:32,760
Speaker 1: So anyways, I'm gonna take New England Miami, and you know,

1354
01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:34,800
Speaker 1: I know that they've got the holy Antonio Brown thing

1355
01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:37,200
Speaker 1: he's practicing today. He apparently is going to be on

1356
01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:41,800
Speaker 1: the field, which you know is a very strange thing

1357
01:06:41,880 --> 01:06:44,400
Speaker 1: I think for anyone watching this game. On top of it,

1358
01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:48,520
Speaker 1: I I want to see how the Dolphins even attempt

1359
01:06:48,560 --> 01:06:50,800
Speaker 1: to bounce back, and what I could say is maybe

1360
01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:52,720
Speaker 1: even a tougher spot. Although I don't know how you

1361
01:06:52,720 --> 01:06:56,440
Speaker 1: play offense better than Baltimore did last week. It's forget

1362
01:06:56,480 --> 01:06:58,600
Speaker 1: the whole concept of trap game for New England. They

1363
01:06:58,600 --> 01:07:01,760
Speaker 1: don't operate that way. They don't. I know everyone wants

1364
01:07:01,800 --> 01:07:04,640
Speaker 1: to throw out these figures about New England traveling down

1365
01:07:04,680 --> 01:07:08,920
Speaker 1: to Miami getting caught in these games. I know this

1366
01:07:08,960 --> 01:07:12,720
Speaker 1: is no Ronnie Brown there this year. All I would

1367
01:07:12,720 --> 01:07:14,960
Speaker 1: say is, doesn't this feel like a little bit different

1368
01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:17,680
Speaker 1: of a six station with Miami. My one thing about

1369
01:07:17,720 --> 01:07:20,200
Speaker 1: Miami is that and I and we've all we've discussed

1370
01:07:20,240 --> 01:07:23,800
Speaker 1: this on the show, that the concept of removing anyone

1371
01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:26,400
Speaker 1: of value from your team to build up draft picks

1372
01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:28,240
Speaker 1: and go and you can, and it's interesting, and I

1373
01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:30,920
Speaker 1: like the fact that it's an interesting experiment. But the

1374
01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:33,720
Speaker 1: way that they were pushed around by Baltimore in every

1375
01:07:33,760 --> 01:07:36,560
Speaker 1: possible way last week, there just wasn't a single guy

1376
01:07:36,680 --> 01:07:39,800
Speaker 1: in Miami's front seven that had anything to do in

1377
01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:41,960
Speaker 1: that game to stop anyone. I just don't know with

1378
01:07:42,040 --> 01:07:44,760
Speaker 1: the way that New England schemes and every possible way

1379
01:07:44,760 --> 01:07:46,480
Speaker 1: that you could put anyone on the offensive line and

1380
01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:48,600
Speaker 1: then find a way to confuse defenders no matter what

1381
01:07:48,640 --> 01:07:52,080
Speaker 1: they're doing pre snap, post snap, before the game, after

1382
01:07:52,120 --> 01:07:56,200
Speaker 1: the game, during the game. I don't know of Miami's

1383
01:07:56,280 --> 01:07:59,480
Speaker 1: roster was added the week before the season started. I've

1384
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:02,200
Speaker 1: feel terrible for Brian Flores. The one thing I could

1385
01:08:02,480 --> 01:08:05,000
Speaker 1: maybe Belichick kind of throws him a bone and doesn't,

1386
01:08:05,360 --> 01:08:08,160
Speaker 1: you know, grind his face into it with it by

1387
01:08:08,280 --> 01:08:10,680
Speaker 1: running the score up. But Belichick has done that two

1388
01:08:10,720 --> 01:08:14,120
Speaker 1: teams and people over and over and alten against people

1389
01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:17,000
Speaker 1: that he previously worked with. These people, the people that

1390
01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:20,280
Speaker 1: he previously worked with, have his number, I mean, many

1391
01:08:20,360 --> 01:08:23,479
Speaker 1: of the most embarrassing losses in his history are against

1392
01:08:23,479 --> 01:08:26,080
Speaker 1: his former coaches, including two last week. He they were

1393
01:08:26,120 --> 01:08:29,240
Speaker 1: not competitive with the Detroit Lions last year. They were

1394
01:08:29,240 --> 01:08:32,920
Speaker 1: not competitive with the Tennessee Titans last year. I think

1395
01:08:32,920 --> 01:08:35,360
Speaker 1: if Flores had a little more juice, it might be

1396
01:08:35,400 --> 01:08:38,519
Speaker 1: a tougher UH matchup. And they wouldn't shock me because

1397
01:08:38,520 --> 01:08:40,479
Speaker 1: it's the NFL and they have pride in the rosters.

1398
01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:42,680
Speaker 1: They have enough talent, Like it wouldn't shock me if

1399
01:08:42,960 --> 01:08:45,639
Speaker 1: if it's a moral victory and it's a seventeen point game.

1400
01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:48,839
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick played pretty well, I thought, considering they lost.

1401
01:08:49,280 --> 01:08:50,960
Speaker 1: I mean he played I I when I watched it,

1402
01:08:51,160 --> 01:08:54,479
Speaker 1: I hear this, he played pretty well. I mean he

1403
01:08:54,479 --> 01:08:57,120
Speaker 1: feels like Mr Robotto. It's like he's getting hired to

1404
01:08:57,160 --> 01:08:59,960
Speaker 1: do a job that no want here in the whole.

1405
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:01,760
Speaker 1: On one more thing, Belichick and his press conference, and

1406
01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:03,960
Speaker 1: I know that this is all a farce, like telling

1407
01:09:04,360 --> 01:09:08,320
Speaker 1: Dolphins scribes over a press conference over the phone that

1408
01:09:08,439 --> 01:09:10,800
Speaker 1: Miami has so much talent that they can't get at

1409
01:09:10,840 --> 01:09:12,720
Speaker 1: all in the field. At the same time, that is

1410
01:09:12,760 --> 01:09:14,960
Speaker 1: literally a quote that came out of his mouth this

1411
01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:17,600
Speaker 1: week about the Miami Dolphins. I mean, it is impossible

1412
01:09:17,600 --> 01:09:18,840
Speaker 1: to take so I wish he had more to say

1413
01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:22,280
Speaker 1: about Antonio Brown. Mary Little say on that the latest

1414
01:09:22,439 --> 01:09:25,280
Speaker 1: um drama around Brown, and you asked us patriots, here

1415
01:09:25,320 --> 01:09:27,960
Speaker 1: he is. Antonio Brown has been accused of rape and

1416
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:31,000
Speaker 1: sexual assault, stemming from three different incidents in two thousand

1417
01:09:31,040 --> 01:09:35,120
Speaker 1: seventeen and two thousand eighteen. A lawsuit from Brown's former trainer,

1418
01:09:35,320 --> 01:09:38,880
Speaker 1: a woman named Brittany Taylor, claims that Brown sexually assaulted

1419
01:09:38,880 --> 01:09:42,360
Speaker 1: her twice during training sessions. Uh and forcibly raped her

1420
01:09:42,360 --> 01:09:45,960
Speaker 1: in March two thousand eighteen. Uh. There was, now, of course,

1421
01:09:45,960 --> 01:09:49,800
Speaker 1: speculation not a criminal charge. Usually the commissioner exemplists which

1422
01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:52,360
Speaker 1: has been used when there's been a criminal case involved

1423
01:09:52,360 --> 01:09:54,479
Speaker 1: with the player. This is not a criminal case. It's

1424
01:09:54,479 --> 01:09:58,400
Speaker 1: a civil lawsuit for that reason. Uh. There there's a

1425
01:09:58,439 --> 01:10:02,559
Speaker 1: belief that Brown would be available to the Patriots. Now

1426
01:10:02,680 --> 01:10:05,439
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone knows, and I think the Patriots

1427
01:10:05,479 --> 01:10:09,400
Speaker 1: are the rap rap sheet reports. There's a quote real

1428
01:10:09,479 --> 01:10:13,599
Speaker 1: chance Antonio Brown plays Week two unless the NFL steps in, right.

1429
01:10:13,720 --> 01:10:16,840
Speaker 1: I think trying to predict what the NFL is gonna

1430
01:10:16,880 --> 01:10:19,800
Speaker 1: do when it comes to discipline is a losing game.

1431
01:10:20,720 --> 01:10:23,839
Speaker 1: This this notion that okay, they used the Commissioner's exemple

1432
01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:27,000
Speaker 1: list only with criminal cases. They basically they didn't make

1433
01:10:27,080 --> 01:10:29,559
Speaker 1: up the commissioners example list, but they just started using

1434
01:10:29,600 --> 01:10:31,160
Speaker 1: it for the first time a few years ago. No

1435
01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:33,200
Speaker 1: one had really ever heard about it. They can do

1436
01:10:33,240 --> 01:10:37,599
Speaker 1: whatever they want. And I'm I'm I'm a little stunned

1437
01:10:38,320 --> 01:10:41,320
Speaker 1: that it seems like a perfect time for the league

1438
01:10:41,360 --> 01:10:44,400
Speaker 1: to step in, take it out of the team's hands,

1439
01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:47,680
Speaker 1: and just let this thing play out. Somebody's got to

1440
01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:50,200
Speaker 1: take it out of the team's hands because the depravity

1441
01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:53,040
Speaker 1: is getting a little too much. The Patriots and the

1442
01:10:53,120 --> 01:10:56,760
Speaker 1: league have a complicated relationship as we know. I'm not

1443
01:10:56,800 --> 01:11:00,320
Speaker 1: saying that could play a factor in this, uh, but yeah,

1444
01:11:00,479 --> 01:11:02,439
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick one was asked about He didn't want anything

1445
01:11:02,439 --> 01:11:04,720
Speaker 1: to do with the conversation. And I would like to

1446
01:11:04,760 --> 01:11:07,600
Speaker 1: know personally. And I guess the reports out there that

1447
01:11:07,640 --> 01:11:10,439
Speaker 1: the Patriots and had no idea about any of this

1448
01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:16,639
Speaker 1: before before acquiring Brown. That's what we reported on NFL Network. Alright,

1449
01:11:16,800 --> 01:11:20,240
Speaker 1: that's credible to me, just because you don't know that

1450
01:11:20,400 --> 01:11:24,720
Speaker 1: nobody knows. Can you imagine them giving that contract when

1451
01:11:24,760 --> 01:11:28,479
Speaker 1: they do know that's coming. It does seem like, Okay,

1452
01:11:28,520 --> 01:11:32,440
Speaker 1: you have new information here, that the league has new information,

1453
01:11:32,479 --> 01:11:37,320
Speaker 1: the Patriots have new information, and that you sideline like

1454
01:11:37,360 --> 01:11:40,400
Speaker 1: there's other ways to win. You know, I couldn't agree

1455
01:11:40,439 --> 01:11:43,000
Speaker 1: more this. This is where the NFL could step in,

1456
01:11:43,120 --> 01:11:47,519
Speaker 1: and let's ask the NFL to do what the Patriots

1457
01:11:47,600 --> 01:11:50,320
Speaker 1: job should be. You know, in my opinion, anyway, sit

1458
01:11:50,360 --> 01:11:51,880
Speaker 1: the guy down. Let's figure out what's going on with

1459
01:11:51,880 --> 01:11:55,439
Speaker 1: this situation, because it's pretty serious. And if you are

1460
01:11:55,520 --> 01:11:59,960
Speaker 1: one of the unbelievably any many people still defending Antonio Brown,

1461
01:12:00,360 --> 01:12:03,160
Speaker 1: please take a look at these emails he sent out.

1462
01:12:03,200 --> 01:12:06,240
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy, I don't understand how anybody can

1463
01:12:06,280 --> 01:12:09,320
Speaker 1: defend this guy after the last year. I just don't

1464
01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:13,800
Speaker 1: know how he's still getting people to go to bathroom. Um, alright,

1465
01:12:13,840 --> 01:12:17,200
Speaker 1: any other thoughts the game. I think the concept of

1466
01:12:17,240 --> 01:12:22,400
Speaker 1: gradual decline is gradually declining. Based on that game. Tom

1467
01:12:22,439 --> 01:12:25,080
Speaker 1: Brady would be number one in my quarter Quarterback Index

1468
01:12:25,200 --> 01:12:26,800
Speaker 1: this week if I was doing one, he was. His

1469
01:12:26,840 --> 01:12:30,600
Speaker 1: ball placement was impeccable last week. Julian Edelman is one

1470
01:12:30,640 --> 01:12:32,880
Speaker 1: of the toughest wide receivers I've ever seen. That guy

1471
01:12:32,920 --> 01:12:35,960
Speaker 1: is incredible, and I think the Patriots secondary might be

1472
01:12:35,960 --> 01:12:39,080
Speaker 1: the best position group in the NFL. Gordon looked great too.

1473
01:12:39,240 --> 01:12:42,080
Speaker 1: That was a takeaway. If Jonathan Jones makes the leap,

1474
01:12:42,160 --> 01:12:44,040
Speaker 1: and he had probably the best game of his career.

1475
01:12:44,080 --> 01:12:46,320
Speaker 1: He's a slot cornerback who they gave a nice contract to.

1476
01:12:46,520 --> 01:12:49,240
Speaker 1: He's been a good story coming up as an undrafted

1477
01:12:49,280 --> 01:12:52,200
Speaker 1: guy the last few years. He was a monster. And

1478
01:12:52,760 --> 01:12:55,360
Speaker 1: Chung kind of forget what happened with Chun Chung's out

1479
01:12:55,400 --> 01:12:57,960
Speaker 1: there playing doing Chung things last week. They have six

1480
01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:00,639
Speaker 1: guys right now that can just lock you down. I mean,

1481
01:13:00,840 --> 01:13:03,679
Speaker 1: it's the best defense. It should be the best defense

1482
01:13:03,680 --> 01:13:06,120
Speaker 1: that they've had since two thousand four. Oh and just

1483
01:13:06,240 --> 01:13:09,599
Speaker 1: for gets in shiggles. Dante Scarnecki is gonna turn Isaiah

1484
01:13:09,600 --> 01:13:12,439
Speaker 1: win and into like the Dwight Stevenson of let left tackles,

1485
01:13:12,520 --> 01:13:16,519
Speaker 1: just because if you're gonna beat the Patriots, it's not

1486
01:13:16,600 --> 01:13:19,600
Speaker 1: this is not rocket scientists, rocket science. You gotta go

1487
01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:21,759
Speaker 1: get Tom Brady because he is old and he doesn't

1488
01:13:21,760 --> 01:13:23,720
Speaker 1: like to be hit, and you beat him up and

1489
01:13:23,760 --> 01:13:25,559
Speaker 1: you give him a gippy knee, and not that you're

1490
01:13:25,560 --> 01:13:28,040
Speaker 1: trying to do that. And we'll get to accusations of

1491
01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:30,559
Speaker 1: that in the Monday Night Football game. Uh, you have

1492
01:13:30,640 --> 01:13:32,680
Speaker 1: to beat up the old man if you let him

1493
01:13:32,720 --> 01:13:36,000
Speaker 1: sit back there. He's so talented as a passer, he's

1494
01:13:36,040 --> 01:13:38,960
Speaker 1: so smart and knows football so well, you're dead. That's

1495
01:13:38,960 --> 01:13:41,320
Speaker 1: what happened to steal. You've been saying that about stopping

1496
01:13:41,320 --> 01:13:44,639
Speaker 1: the Patriots week after week, month after month, and year

1497
01:13:44,640 --> 01:13:47,200
Speaker 1: after all. Right, it's that whole thing. It's like, hey,

1498
01:13:47,280 --> 01:13:49,439
Speaker 1: if you're gonna get pressure, if you can get pressure

1499
01:13:49,479 --> 01:13:51,240
Speaker 1: up the middle and get four, you know with four

1500
01:13:51,479 --> 01:13:54,080
Speaker 1: you you have a chance. Well, yeah, of course that,

1501
01:13:54,240 --> 01:13:56,559
Speaker 1: Like every football coach has known that since the beginning

1502
01:13:56,600 --> 01:13:58,920
Speaker 1: of time. They want to get pressure with four and

1503
01:13:58,960 --> 01:14:01,679
Speaker 1: get it up the middle. But like you can't. Almost

1504
01:14:01,680 --> 01:14:05,240
Speaker 1: no one can, especially gets a good offensive line. I

1505
01:14:05,280 --> 01:14:09,120
Speaker 1: think Dante is a better coach than Bill Belichick. Well

1506
01:14:09,280 --> 01:14:11,920
Speaker 1: I'm getting in on that train. Hop on board. Put

1507
01:14:11,960 --> 01:14:13,639
Speaker 1: him in the Hall of Fame, and it's still building

1508
01:14:13,680 --> 01:14:16,320
Speaker 1: that train. But Dante and Donte was the coach under

1509
01:14:16,400 --> 01:14:20,840
Speaker 1: Rod Rust and Dick McPherson with Raymond Claybourne on the field.

1510
01:14:21,479 --> 01:14:27,000
Speaker 1: Round name, Come on Rust, all right, let's get into

1511
01:14:27,080 --> 01:14:35,360
Speaker 1: Sunday night football. Mark's number two games. San Francisco, It's Cincinnati.

1512
01:14:35,400 --> 01:14:37,600
Speaker 1: Actually this isn't a bad game at all. This is

1513
01:14:37,600 --> 01:14:39,519
Speaker 1: the game. This is what you know. You wanted to

1514
01:14:39,520 --> 01:14:42,040
Speaker 1: sleep a gem in the final rounds that's going to

1515
01:14:42,120 --> 01:14:44,919
Speaker 1: spend the next eighteen years with a chip on his shoulders.

1516
01:14:44,960 --> 01:14:48,599
Speaker 1: He got picked last Niners at Bengals. How about it? Okay,

1517
01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:50,080
Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna chat. I think it is. I

1518
01:14:50,120 --> 01:14:52,720
Speaker 1: think it's it's a fascinating game. It's it's Jimmy G

1519
01:14:53,040 --> 01:14:56,600
Speaker 1: and they you know I'm not fascinated by Jimmy G anymore.

1520
01:14:56,640 --> 01:14:58,080
Speaker 1: This is my draft pick. So I'm gonna do what

1521
01:14:58,120 --> 01:14:59,840
Speaker 1: you do and say what a great draft I've had

1522
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:02,519
Speaker 1: that it's been so productive. We've we've bought a bunch

1523
01:15:02,560 --> 01:15:05,280
Speaker 1: of starters. We love our off season. You know, I've

1524
01:15:05,280 --> 01:15:08,400
Speaker 1: got to pump it up too. So the Bengal, well,

1525
01:15:08,439 --> 01:15:13,360
Speaker 1: here's the basically drafted for the Bengals. The Bengals could

1526
01:15:13,520 --> 01:15:17,080
Speaker 1: have last week that that would not be the word

1527
01:15:17,200 --> 01:15:20,519
Speaker 1: three of them because you don't have any hold on

1528
01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:23,320
Speaker 1: so the Bengals. The Bengals last week could have all

1529
01:15:23,400 --> 01:15:24,920
Speaker 1: gone out and laid an egg and it would have

1530
01:15:24,920 --> 01:15:27,800
Speaker 1: been like this game would have zero, zero to me

1531
01:15:27,840 --> 01:15:30,360
Speaker 1: attraction at all. Because the Bengals where I was with

1532
01:15:30,400 --> 01:15:32,880
Speaker 1: them two weeks ago was not a good place, but

1533
01:15:33,080 --> 01:15:35,639
Speaker 1: they gave me a lot to look at and enjoy

1534
01:15:35,680 --> 01:15:37,200
Speaker 1: and I watched that was one of the games I

1535
01:15:37,240 --> 01:15:39,639
Speaker 1: covered last week. And so I'm not saying that I

1536
01:15:39,720 --> 01:15:42,000
Speaker 1: this was the top of my list going into this draft,

1537
01:15:42,040 --> 01:15:44,040
Speaker 1: but I'm happy to cover them again. And I thought

1538
01:15:44,120 --> 01:15:47,679
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton and Zach Taylor there's a promising relationship there

1539
01:15:47,840 --> 01:15:50,360
Speaker 1: to the point where I'm willing to consider the idea

1540
01:15:50,400 --> 01:15:52,920
Speaker 1: that Andy Dalton at this works maybe is not someone

1541
01:15:52,960 --> 01:15:55,280
Speaker 1: they need. I've been saying, replace them, replace and replace

1542
01:15:55,360 --> 01:15:57,759
Speaker 1: him year after year. I'm a little concerned about Joe Mixon.

1543
01:15:57,800 --> 01:16:01,200
Speaker 1: Sounds like he will not be there potentially, and Giovanni

1544
01:16:01,200 --> 01:16:03,200
Speaker 1: Bernard not a bad running back, but I would like

1545
01:16:03,439 --> 01:16:06,360
Speaker 1: mixing is a difference maker who paces that offense from

1546
01:16:06,360 --> 01:16:08,120
Speaker 1: the ground. I don't like that if he's not in there.

1547
01:16:08,600 --> 01:16:11,440
Speaker 1: And for me, you get you finally in San Francisco

1548
01:16:11,479 --> 01:16:13,720
Speaker 1: after last year, one of the biggest sues no turnovers.

1549
01:16:13,880 --> 01:16:16,720
Speaker 1: They couldn't do anything on defense. They need to do that.

1550
01:16:16,760 --> 01:16:18,559
Speaker 1: The need to continue what they did last week, which

1551
01:16:18,600 --> 01:16:22,160
Speaker 1: was calls total havoc for the Buccaneers and Jamis Winston

1552
01:16:22,439 --> 01:16:25,439
Speaker 1: with three interceptions could have been more. And Andy Dalton

1553
01:16:25,479 --> 01:16:27,439
Speaker 1: turned the ball over twice last week and was that

1554
01:16:27,520 --> 01:16:29,479
Speaker 1: he did not shake that. They still don't have a

1555
01:16:29,600 --> 01:16:31,840
Speaker 1: j Green. So I don't want I want when we

1556
01:16:31,840 --> 01:16:34,000
Speaker 1: talk about week one to week two. I want to

1557
01:16:34,040 --> 01:16:36,160
Speaker 1: see if there's any regression in what we saw from

1558
01:16:36,160 --> 01:16:38,760
Speaker 1: the Bengals on offense. But it was a very promising start.

1559
01:16:39,080 --> 01:16:41,160
Speaker 1: You had it right last Sunday because you covered them

1560
01:16:41,200 --> 01:16:43,680
Speaker 1: last Sunday. Also, when you go back and watch a game,

1561
01:16:43,920 --> 01:16:45,759
Speaker 1: there were a lot of fun to watch their ability

1562
01:16:45,760 --> 01:16:48,160
Speaker 1: to move the ball and they actually haven't been in

1563
01:16:48,200 --> 01:16:51,040
Speaker 1: a long time. They absolutely beat up on Russell Wilson

1564
01:16:51,040 --> 01:16:54,320
Speaker 1: four sacks, nine hits and Wilson barely throw the ball.

1565
01:16:54,320 --> 01:16:56,760
Speaker 1: He only dropped back twenty four times. That from established

1566
01:16:56,800 --> 01:17:00,920
Speaker 1: the run and uh, Evan Silva who's killing it over there. Um,

1567
01:17:01,040 --> 01:17:04,080
Speaker 1: I think there's such a fun team to track and

1568
01:17:04,080 --> 01:17:06,040
Speaker 1: and Jimmy g although I just said that, I'm not

1569
01:17:06,240 --> 01:17:09,240
Speaker 1: I'm starting to get exhausted by when is this guy

1570
01:17:09,320 --> 01:17:13,080
Speaker 1: gonna start playing like what everyone expected? Uh, it's a

1571
01:17:13,160 --> 01:17:15,559
Speaker 1: nice test. He has to go to Cincinnati here and

1572
01:17:15,640 --> 01:17:18,320
Speaker 1: face a team that that played very well defensively last week.

1573
01:17:18,800 --> 01:17:21,920
Speaker 1: Uh this, If he has a really bad game in

1574
01:17:22,040 --> 01:17:24,160
Speaker 1: Week two, people are gonna really start ratching up the

1575
01:17:24,160 --> 01:17:27,960
Speaker 1: criticism of Jimmy g I think d Ford and Nick

1576
01:17:28,040 --> 01:17:31,880
Speaker 1: Bosa forced the Buccaneers into some bad plays last week,

1577
01:17:32,120 --> 01:17:35,880
Speaker 1: and they're facing a worst offensive line this week in Cincinnati.

1578
01:17:36,360 --> 01:17:39,639
Speaker 1: That's a problem. But I thought to me, the Bengals

1579
01:17:39,680 --> 01:17:42,040
Speaker 1: defensive line was more impressive than their offense. I don't

1580
01:17:42,040 --> 01:17:45,479
Speaker 1: think John Ross's uh fluke plays are repeatable every week.

1581
01:17:46,040 --> 01:17:48,479
Speaker 1: Sam Harvard was you know, one of those players you

1582
01:17:48,520 --> 01:17:51,200
Speaker 1: could have had on your list of He was on

1583
01:17:51,280 --> 01:17:55,479
Speaker 1: my other names to watch. Transformed a second year West Banger,

1584
01:17:55,479 --> 01:17:59,679
Speaker 1: alert defensive lineman and really helps complete what's a really

1585
01:17:59,680 --> 01:18:02,880
Speaker 1: st starting group, and they have some pretty good depth.

1586
01:18:03,160 --> 01:18:05,840
Speaker 1: The forty niners, on the other hand, and they scored

1587
01:18:05,880 --> 01:18:08,240
Speaker 1: thirteen points on their own last week, so they the

1588
01:18:08,320 --> 01:18:11,960
Speaker 1: offense had a miserable game against the Buccaneers defensive Dante

1589
01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:14,720
Speaker 1: pett is not playing, but two snaps, right. They're young,

1590
01:18:14,840 --> 01:18:18,160
Speaker 1: they're young receivers. It's they're just looking for someone to

1591
01:18:18,200 --> 01:18:19,840
Speaker 1: step up, and they don't know who it's gonna be.

1592
01:18:20,320 --> 01:18:23,680
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel their rookie receiver had the most snaps, but

1593
01:18:23,720 --> 01:18:26,240
Speaker 1: he only had two targets for thirteen yards, So they're

1594
01:18:26,280 --> 01:18:28,960
Speaker 1: just they're searching right now. George Kittle looks every bit

1595
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:31,360
Speaker 1: as good as last year. He lost a few big

1596
01:18:31,400 --> 01:18:35,600
Speaker 1: place to penalties from teammates. This team deserves to be

1597
01:18:35,640 --> 01:18:38,880
Speaker 1: one and one. Tevin Coleman out for a while. I'm

1598
01:18:38,920 --> 01:18:42,200
Speaker 1: not sure Raheem Mostard isn't like how much better is

1599
01:18:42,240 --> 01:18:44,000
Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman than Raheem Mostly, I don't know. I don't

1600
01:18:44,040 --> 01:18:46,760
Speaker 1: think they have probably what arguably the deepest backfield in

1601
01:18:46,800 --> 01:18:48,479
Speaker 1: the NFL where it seems like they can play, and

1602
01:18:48,479 --> 01:18:51,000
Speaker 1: that's a Shanahan sort of trade. It is not anymore.

1603
01:18:51,080 --> 01:18:53,880
Speaker 1: I mean, no McKinnon this year, and now Coleman's gone that,

1604
01:18:54,120 --> 01:18:58,920
Speaker 1: it's definitely the stars step up. Alright, Sunday Night football,

1605
01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:01,640
Speaker 1: Let's get to it. The Philadelphia Eagles coming off that

1606
01:19:01,760 --> 01:19:05,080
Speaker 1: big second half to take out the Redskins in their

1607
01:19:05,160 --> 01:19:08,759
Speaker 1: open or travel to Atlanta to face the Falcons who

1608
01:19:08,920 --> 01:19:12,200
Speaker 1: stunk out the joint in Minneapolis. Uh in Week one,

1609
01:19:12,320 --> 01:19:15,519
Speaker 1: could not get anything going down twenty eight nothing, you know,

1610
01:19:15,640 --> 01:19:17,280
Speaker 1: put some lipstick on the pig at the end of

1611
01:19:17,280 --> 01:19:20,080
Speaker 1: the game. Mark that's a that's an expression. It still

1612
01:19:20,120 --> 01:19:23,000
Speaker 1: works one of the better expressions because you it invokes

1613
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:25,639
Speaker 1: something immediately. I mean, I think it was probably from

1614
01:19:25,640 --> 01:19:28,280
Speaker 1: a time when the people that you knew were farmers.

1615
01:19:28,280 --> 01:19:30,240
Speaker 1: Everyone would kind of like they work with pigs a

1616
01:19:30,320 --> 01:19:32,800
Speaker 1: day to day basis. It had a little more pig right,

1617
01:19:33,200 --> 01:19:41,200
Speaker 1: no one's in the pigs, certain multiple functions. Everyone ian

1618
01:19:41,400 --> 01:19:43,800
Speaker 1: like if you're working with a pig. All I think

1619
01:19:43,840 --> 01:19:46,880
Speaker 1: we got this, like no one here works in agriculture.

1620
01:19:47,120 --> 01:19:50,840
Speaker 1: All right, here we go. So, yes, the Falcon It's

1621
01:19:50,840 --> 01:19:55,640
Speaker 1: an important game, an extremely important game for the Falcons

1622
01:19:55,760 --> 01:19:58,000
Speaker 1: and dan Quinn. Who's gonna the heat's gonna turn up

1623
01:19:58,000 --> 01:20:00,679
Speaker 1: if if they lay another egg here in week two?

1624
01:20:00,720 --> 01:20:04,240
Speaker 1: Greg Um, do you expect the Falcons to bounce back

1625
01:20:04,280 --> 01:20:06,800
Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball in a week two? Offensively?

1626
01:20:06,840 --> 01:20:10,559
Speaker 1: I do, and defensively I don't, which has been kind

1627
01:20:10,560 --> 01:20:12,640
Speaker 1: of the case for this team for a while. I

1628
01:20:12,720 --> 01:20:16,120
Speaker 1: just think it's it's so cliche to say, you know,

1629
01:20:16,160 --> 01:20:19,360
Speaker 1: you went up front and uh, the pressure up front

1630
01:20:19,400 --> 01:20:22,080
Speaker 1: and you get somebody into quarterback's face. But I don't know,

1631
01:20:22,160 --> 01:20:24,400
Speaker 1: you look at these you look at these two matchups

1632
01:20:24,479 --> 01:20:27,040
Speaker 1: up front on both sides, and you just think the

1633
01:20:27,080 --> 01:20:30,840
Speaker 1: Eagles are built with this solid foundation where Graham and

1634
01:20:30,960 --> 01:20:34,360
Speaker 1: journ again and and Fletcher Cox are gonna create problems

1635
01:20:34,360 --> 01:20:36,760
Speaker 1: for Atlanta. I think Atlanta's talent enough they'll still be

1636
01:20:36,760 --> 01:20:38,840
Speaker 1: able to move the ball. But on the other side,

1637
01:20:39,040 --> 01:20:42,160
Speaker 1: you've got Brandon Brooks back from injury, You've got Jason

1638
01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:45,400
Speaker 1: Peters fully healthy, You've got a just a massive offensive

1639
01:20:45,400 --> 01:20:48,800
Speaker 1: line against what's kind of a finesse defense. Like it

1640
01:20:48,840 --> 01:20:52,240
Speaker 1: works when it's the Seahawks and you have that talent

1641
01:20:52,479 --> 01:20:54,200
Speaker 1: and you have Pete Carroll and you're up there with

1642
01:20:54,240 --> 01:20:57,000
Speaker 1: the twelves, but it doesn't seem to be. It really

1643
01:20:57,000 --> 01:20:59,120
Speaker 1: has never worked on turf for dan Quinn except for

1644
01:20:59,120 --> 01:21:01,400
Speaker 1: a little five to sick games stretch. I thought the

1645
01:21:01,400 --> 01:21:04,479
Speaker 1: Eagles were one of the more resilient teams in Week one,

1646
01:21:04,520 --> 01:21:07,679
Speaker 1: where they found their offense in themselves in the second half,

1647
01:21:07,720 --> 01:21:10,200
Speaker 1: and I thought once on the move made some great throws.

1648
01:21:10,640 --> 01:21:13,000
Speaker 1: And we talked about it on the recap of that

1649
01:21:13,080 --> 01:21:15,960
Speaker 1: game last week that Sean Jackson and me was a question,

1650
01:21:16,080 --> 01:21:17,920
Speaker 1: I will find out what we have into Shan Jackson,

1651
01:21:18,160 --> 01:21:22,760
Speaker 1: and he absolutely flipped that game entirely for Philadelphia and

1652
01:21:22,920 --> 01:21:26,160
Speaker 1: capsized the Redskins defense, and the Redskins defense came out

1653
01:21:26,240 --> 01:21:28,839
Speaker 1: that game talking about how confused they were in the secondary.

1654
01:21:28,880 --> 01:21:30,720
Speaker 1: It's another one of these secondaries that couldn't figure o

1655
01:21:30,720 --> 01:21:33,080
Speaker 1: what was going on. I think the Eagles are I

1656
01:21:33,120 --> 01:21:34,800
Speaker 1: don't care if their home or away. They're gonna go

1657
01:21:34,840 --> 01:21:37,160
Speaker 1: in and they're gonna score some points here against the Falcons.

1658
01:21:37,240 --> 01:21:39,960
Speaker 1: They're the better team, and the Falcons all those concerns

1659
01:21:39,960 --> 01:21:41,720
Speaker 1: that they had entering the season, It's like they just

1660
01:21:41,760 --> 01:21:43,960
Speaker 1: picked a scab in Week one and made everything worse.

1661
01:21:44,400 --> 01:21:47,160
Speaker 1: The offensive line is even more concerning than we thought,

1662
01:21:47,560 --> 01:21:50,680
Speaker 1: the run defense and the lack of backbone even more concerning,

1663
01:21:50,760 --> 01:21:54,720
Speaker 1: and Isaiah Olivers starting at cornerback that Theeeling beat him

1664
01:21:54,720 --> 01:21:59,000
Speaker 1: for that touchdown. They've been a somewhat resilient team. Not

1665
01:21:59,200 --> 01:22:01,840
Speaker 1: not really, I guess at the beginning part of last year,

1666
01:22:01,880 --> 01:22:04,120
Speaker 1: but they have responded like they've been a team that

1667
01:22:04,160 --> 01:22:06,280
Speaker 1: has responded. They know this is a big this is

1668
01:22:06,360 --> 01:22:09,080
Speaker 1: it feels like it's a bigger game for them, certainly

1669
01:22:09,080 --> 01:22:11,920
Speaker 1: than the Eagles, but than almost anyone because I could

1670
01:22:11,920 --> 01:22:14,439
Speaker 1: see the Falcon still being a playoff type of team.

1671
01:22:14,479 --> 01:22:16,000
Speaker 1: But you really do not want to get out to

1672
01:22:16,040 --> 01:22:17,680
Speaker 1: an o and to start, I agree with Dan I think,

1673
01:22:17,760 --> 01:22:20,400
Speaker 1: and I think dan Quinn is around the lead. People

1674
01:22:20,439 --> 01:22:23,080
Speaker 1: see dan Quinn is one of the better coaches and minds.

1675
01:22:23,080 --> 01:22:26,400
Speaker 1: But if you go into it's gonna be you're you're

1676
01:22:26,439 --> 01:22:29,400
Speaker 1: facing an uphill climb there, all right, which takes us

1677
01:22:29,439 --> 01:22:32,080
Speaker 1: to Monday night football. It's start, of course with the news. Yes,

1678
01:22:34,840 --> 01:22:37,839
Speaker 1: I just woke up and uh open up the computer

1679
01:22:38,280 --> 01:22:42,320
Speaker 1: and UH find out that Sam Donald, the Jets quote

1680
01:22:42,360 --> 01:22:46,320
Speaker 1: unquote savior quarterback um is out from Monday Night's game

1681
01:22:46,360 --> 01:22:50,080
Speaker 1: against the brown because he has mono nucleosis more popularly

1682
01:22:50,120 --> 01:22:55,280
Speaker 1: known as mono. This is how Adam Gaze uh delivered

1683
01:22:55,280 --> 01:22:58,000
Speaker 1: the news to the public at his Thursday press conference.

1684
01:22:59,120 --> 01:23:03,599
Speaker 1: And then four team has mono and we'll be out

1685
01:23:03,640 --> 01:23:08,639
Speaker 1: for this game. So Trevor will be starting and Luke

1686
01:23:08,680 --> 01:23:11,719
Speaker 1: Falk will get elevated at some point and be the backup.

1687
01:23:15,520 --> 01:23:20,360
Speaker 1: So that would be that, indeed, that would be that

1688
01:23:20,439 --> 01:23:23,200
Speaker 1: Trevor simme and as Trevor who will now start against

1689
01:23:23,200 --> 01:23:26,280
Speaker 1: the Browns, And uh yeah, it's just as a Jets fan,

1690
01:23:26,360 --> 01:23:31,200
Speaker 1: it's absolutely um. The level of pain involved with rooting

1691
01:23:31,240 --> 01:23:34,120
Speaker 1: for this franchise. It's just off the charts because there

1692
01:23:34,200 --> 01:23:39,640
Speaker 1: you could deal with losing losing a lot of teams lose, UM,

1693
01:23:39,680 --> 01:23:43,920
Speaker 1: but the way the Jets exist and continue to exist

1694
01:23:43,920 --> 01:23:46,720
Speaker 1: as an organization, the way they invent new ways to

1695
01:23:46,840 --> 01:23:49,280
Speaker 1: crush you. I mean, what are the three I was

1696
01:23:49,280 --> 01:23:50,799
Speaker 1: thinking about this on the way up to the studio.

1697
01:23:50,960 --> 01:23:53,360
Speaker 1: What are the three most notable things about the Jets

1698
01:23:53,360 --> 01:23:55,240
Speaker 1: in the past, let's say, since we did start doing

1699
01:23:55,280 --> 01:23:58,000
Speaker 1: this podcast. UM, certainly it has nothing to do with

1700
01:23:58,200 --> 01:24:01,640
Speaker 1: their their play on the field. They been nondescript. I

1701
01:24:01,640 --> 01:24:05,640
Speaker 1: would say the butt fumble, of course. I would say

1702
01:24:06,400 --> 01:24:10,719
Speaker 1: the linebacker breaking, the starting quarterbacks jaw. And I would

1703
01:24:10,720 --> 01:24:13,920
Speaker 1: say the starting quarterback and the guy that's viewed as

1704
01:24:13,960 --> 01:24:17,280
Speaker 1: the great Hope getting mono and being knocked out for

1705
01:24:17,320 --> 01:24:20,000
Speaker 1: an extended amount of time potentially. I don't think these

1706
01:24:20,000 --> 01:24:22,760
Speaker 1: things happened to any other team. I don't think. I

1707
01:24:22,800 --> 01:24:27,559
Speaker 1: think this is a uniquely Jets cosmic crush that UM

1708
01:24:27,840 --> 01:24:30,800
Speaker 1: people that support this organization have to deal with, and

1709
01:24:30,840 --> 01:24:33,559
Speaker 1: of course the people that run the organization. Uh, you know,

1710
01:24:33,720 --> 01:24:36,240
Speaker 1: Joe Douglas is probably thinking himself, wait, what this is?

1711
01:24:36,240 --> 01:24:39,360
Speaker 1: What I I this wasn't supposed to happen to me. Well,

1712
01:24:39,400 --> 01:24:41,559
Speaker 1: it is. It's happening to you because you're employed by

1713
01:24:41,560 --> 01:24:44,759
Speaker 1: the Jets and that and that's the pain. And again

1714
01:24:44,760 --> 01:24:47,360
Speaker 1: I've been thinking about my dad after that Bill's loss. Again,

1715
01:24:47,439 --> 01:24:50,320
Speaker 1: the losing. The losing is the losing teams lose Jet

1716
01:24:50,360 --> 01:24:53,920
Speaker 1: Blues sixteen nothing lead in their opener and lost seventeen sixteen,

1717
01:24:53,920 --> 01:24:57,400
Speaker 1: setting their season on a bad course. That's that's whatever.

1718
01:24:57,880 --> 01:25:01,000
Speaker 1: But when your quarterback gets motto, that's the Jets. And

1719
01:25:01,360 --> 01:25:04,240
Speaker 1: my dad texted on Sunday, I don't know how much

1720
01:25:04,320 --> 01:25:06,280
Speaker 1: longer I can do this be a fan like And

1721
01:25:06,280 --> 01:25:07,840
Speaker 1: I don't think he means he's actually looking at it,

1722
01:25:07,880 --> 01:25:10,800
Speaker 1: but just it's it's wearing at on him. Fifty years

1723
01:25:10,800 --> 01:25:13,200
Speaker 1: since Joe Namath won the Super Bowl. So for the

1724
01:25:13,240 --> 01:25:15,800
Speaker 1: first time this season, I did reach out to my

1725
01:25:15,840 --> 01:25:17,679
Speaker 1: dad and asked him if he would give his thoughts

1726
01:25:17,680 --> 01:25:19,880
Speaker 1: on what's going on with the Jets, and he did agree.

1727
01:25:21,160 --> 01:25:27,360
Speaker 1: Now his name is Key, he stands dead. He'll doubt

1728
01:25:27,439 --> 01:25:31,559
Speaker 1: about it. He's a big Jets fan. What is he

1729
01:25:31,640 --> 01:25:38,080
Speaker 1: going to say? Game to say? What does he go to?

1730
01:25:39,000 --> 01:25:43,960
Speaker 1: Being a Jet fan is extremely tough season starting with

1731
01:25:44,040 --> 01:25:51,120
Speaker 1: a new coach, general manager, players, and even uniforms. There

1732
01:25:51,200 --> 01:25:54,840
Speaker 1: was high hopes for this season and now we're doomed

1733
01:25:54,840 --> 01:25:59,439
Speaker 1: from the start. In particular with Donald, there was high

1734
01:25:59,439 --> 01:26:02,920
Speaker 1: hope at quarterback that someone could lead us to the

1735
01:26:02,960 --> 01:26:08,719
Speaker 1: promised land of a winning season. Perhaps, but it's all

1736
01:26:08,760 --> 01:26:17,240
Speaker 1: over after one game, which is unbelievable. Dad's upset and

1737
01:26:17,280 --> 01:26:20,160
Speaker 1: all Jets fans feel the same way. And to compound

1738
01:26:20,200 --> 01:26:22,360
Speaker 1: the pain, leve Bell getting an m R I on

1739
01:26:22,400 --> 01:26:24,960
Speaker 1: his shoulder, Quincy and Numa out for the year with

1740
01:26:25,040 --> 01:26:28,679
Speaker 1: a neck injury. C J. Moseley, who was, as Dan

1741
01:26:28,840 --> 01:26:31,439
Speaker 1: said in the recap last week, maybe the best player

1742
01:26:31,479 --> 01:26:33,160
Speaker 1: on the field in that game, had a groin injury.

1743
01:26:33,160 --> 01:26:34,720
Speaker 1: I don't know what the status of his groin will

1744
01:26:34,720 --> 01:26:36,479
Speaker 1: probably play, but who knows if he stays on the

1745
01:26:36,520 --> 01:26:38,960
Speaker 1: field or if he plays at the same level. Well,

1746
01:26:38,960 --> 01:26:41,360
Speaker 1: the shape of their season has changed with this news.

1747
01:26:41,520 --> 01:26:45,520
Speaker 1: They're big underdogs against the Browns. Crazier things have happened

1748
01:26:45,560 --> 01:26:48,280
Speaker 1: than Trevor Simmons winning that game. But they're huge underdogs.

1749
01:26:48,400 --> 01:26:50,360
Speaker 1: And you got off the board, got the Yeah, you

1750
01:26:50,439 --> 01:26:52,559
Speaker 1: got the Patriots and and you have a very tough

1751
01:26:52,600 --> 01:26:55,760
Speaker 1: five or six, get done to start. I'm seeing the

1752
01:26:55,800 --> 01:26:58,559
Speaker 1: shape changes now. So at some point Donald is coming.

1753
01:26:58,600 --> 01:27:01,879
Speaker 1: The schedule the next month, right at some point Donald

1754
01:27:01,920 --> 01:27:04,840
Speaker 1: comes back, and this is a team that's you know,

1755
01:27:04,880 --> 01:27:07,080
Speaker 1: they're not They weren't gonna win the super Bowl this year,

1756
01:27:07,200 --> 01:27:10,080
Speaker 1: and it's crushing to lose that that hope for a

1757
01:27:10,200 --> 01:27:13,839
Speaker 1: relevant throughout season right off the bat. If that's what happens,

1758
01:27:14,600 --> 01:27:16,360
Speaker 1: but they can still try to They're gonna have to

1759
01:27:16,400 --> 01:27:19,160
Speaker 1: just basically try to achieve goals when he's back. And

1760
01:27:19,160 --> 01:27:22,360
Speaker 1: if it's just in in two games and they start

1761
01:27:22,400 --> 01:27:24,599
Speaker 1: out one and four, then you're gonna want to rally

1762
01:27:24,720 --> 01:27:26,679
Speaker 1: to get to five, you know what I mean. That's

1763
01:27:26,720 --> 01:27:30,400
Speaker 1: it's unfortunately supposed to be. It was supposed to be

1764
01:27:30,400 --> 01:27:32,360
Speaker 1: a different type of shape to this season. That's the

1765
01:27:32,400 --> 01:27:35,240
Speaker 1: shape if you're a Jets fan, because you need Donald

1766
01:27:35,439 --> 01:27:37,479
Speaker 1: and Gaze to work together and work well together. They

1767
01:27:37,479 --> 01:27:39,240
Speaker 1: did not last week, but it was only one week

1768
01:27:39,280 --> 01:27:42,000
Speaker 1: against a good defense. I would say the one advantage

1769
01:27:42,040 --> 01:27:44,439
Speaker 1: to Donald not being someone that's in his second year

1770
01:27:44,479 --> 01:27:46,360
Speaker 1: turning twenty six or something. You know, you get these

1771
01:27:46,400 --> 01:27:48,719
Speaker 1: rookies that were in college for a long gated period

1772
01:27:48,720 --> 01:27:54,760
Speaker 1: of time. He's young social security. Well, it's like specifically,

1773
01:27:55,000 --> 01:27:57,439
Speaker 1: like getting mono shows how young he actually is, because

1774
01:27:57,479 --> 01:27:59,320
Speaker 1: you don't get motto when you're thirty seven years old.

1775
01:27:59,360 --> 01:28:01,559
Speaker 1: It is a young person's illness. But you know what

1776
01:28:01,640 --> 01:28:04,439
Speaker 1: I saw immediately everyone's dropping because now if you're if

1777
01:28:04,439 --> 01:28:06,439
Speaker 1: you work in sports, you've got to start hitting up

1778
01:28:06,479 --> 01:28:08,439
Speaker 1: people with your mono jokes. And they're flying all over

1779
01:28:08,479 --> 01:28:10,200
Speaker 1: the internet and we get it and it's funny, but

1780
01:28:10,320 --> 01:28:14,280
Speaker 1: Mono like, depending on how the body takes it, cannot.

1781
01:28:14,479 --> 01:28:16,360
Speaker 1: I love how they're saying he might be back in

1782
01:28:16,400 --> 01:28:19,120
Speaker 1: two weeks. Most people that get mono, and I don't

1783
01:28:19,120 --> 01:28:21,200
Speaker 1: know people could be back next September. That's the thing.

1784
01:28:21,200 --> 01:28:23,280
Speaker 1: It can knock you out your it depending on how

1785
01:28:23,360 --> 01:28:25,960
Speaker 1: your body responds. It can knock you out for a

1786
01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:27,680
Speaker 1: long period of time. And then if you know, it

1787
01:28:27,680 --> 01:28:30,120
Speaker 1: could affects the spleen. If your spleen gets hit, you've

1788
01:28:30,120 --> 01:28:33,479
Speaker 1: got a compound issues. So it is a serious illness

1789
01:28:33,880 --> 01:28:35,800
Speaker 1: and I feel for you as a Jets fan, and

1790
01:28:35,840 --> 01:28:40,160
Speaker 1: I would say that on this podcast alone, we've talked

1791
01:28:40,160 --> 01:28:43,400
Speaker 1: about this matchup in a playfully competitive and not so

1792
01:28:43,439 --> 01:28:47,519
Speaker 1: playfully competitive way all offseason over it does and and

1793
01:28:47,560 --> 01:28:49,519
Speaker 1: this people all hitting me up, Oh, are you like

1794
01:28:49,760 --> 01:28:52,040
Speaker 1: excited that this is the kid? Absolutely not, you would

1795
01:28:52,040 --> 01:28:54,040
Speaker 1: do that, I think, well, I think also from the

1796
01:28:54,479 --> 01:28:56,800
Speaker 1: you know, I I know that as a Jets fan,

1797
01:28:56,800 --> 01:28:58,720
Speaker 1: you're gonna say the Jets have had the worst thing

1798
01:28:58,720 --> 01:29:01,040
Speaker 1: in life, But the Browns are up there in many ways,

1799
01:29:01,160 --> 01:29:04,920
Speaker 1: and like the cosmic cruelty, there's a lot like I

1800
01:29:04,920 --> 01:29:08,040
Speaker 1: would say, it's not had a quarterback start sixteen games

1801
01:29:08,040 --> 01:29:11,200
Speaker 1: in his hold on since two thousand and one, and

1802
01:29:11,240 --> 01:29:13,920
Speaker 1: what happened to them last week was about as worst

1803
01:29:13,960 --> 01:29:16,639
Speaker 1: case scenario as you could that. Dan, I'm not I'm

1804
01:29:16,640 --> 01:29:19,680
Speaker 1: not in today. Today, I'm not getting okay, I'm not.

1805
01:29:19,720 --> 01:29:21,840
Speaker 1: I'm not actually trying to compete with you at all

1806
01:29:21,880 --> 01:29:24,720
Speaker 1: in this. I'm just saying that you're not rolling in

1807
01:29:24,720 --> 01:29:27,640
Speaker 1: against New England Patriots here. And it's a it's a

1808
01:29:27,720 --> 01:29:29,920
Speaker 1: very Brownsian thing too, to go into New York and

1809
01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:34,120
Speaker 1: lose to Trevor Simeon, who statistics is pressure per game

1810
01:29:34,360 --> 01:29:36,560
Speaker 1: has the exacts. If you go look at the statistical

1811
01:29:36,600 --> 01:29:40,599
Speaker 1: per game numbers between Trevor Simeon and Sam Donald, they

1812
01:29:40,640 --> 01:29:45,040
Speaker 1: are almost identical except for Sam Donald. And I'm just

1813
01:29:45,080 --> 01:29:47,880
Speaker 1: saying I like Trevor Simeon is not you're not handing

1814
01:29:47,880 --> 01:29:50,160
Speaker 1: the he's he's He at least has some starts under

1815
01:29:50,160 --> 01:29:52,479
Speaker 1: his belt. This it's not a Cleveland rolls in the

1816
01:29:52,640 --> 01:29:55,840
Speaker 1: back to wins forty ten. In this game, they're back

1817
01:29:55,880 --> 01:29:58,120
Speaker 1: to where they were last week. They're there at home.

1818
01:29:58,360 --> 01:30:00,639
Speaker 1: They're on the road this week obviously, but where everyone's

1819
01:30:00,640 --> 01:30:02,920
Speaker 1: expecting you to take care of business. And we saw

1820
01:30:02,960 --> 01:30:05,000
Speaker 1: what happened with the Browns last week when people expected

1821
01:30:05,200 --> 01:30:07,680
Speaker 1: everyone's gonna expect the Browns to do it again. And

1822
01:30:07,760 --> 01:30:11,280
Speaker 1: if they'll flause, if the Browns lose with all the

1823
01:30:11,280 --> 01:30:13,519
Speaker 1: injuries the Jets have, including the loss of the quarterback,

1824
01:30:13,800 --> 01:30:15,840
Speaker 1: the Browns are in deep trouble. So yeah, I think

1825
01:30:16,080 --> 01:30:18,559
Speaker 1: it's one of those a lot a lot to lose,

1826
01:30:18,760 --> 01:30:21,000
Speaker 1: not much to gain, although getting back to one on

1827
01:30:21,080 --> 01:30:23,280
Speaker 1: one is is one on one is fine. But I mean,

1828
01:30:23,320 --> 01:30:26,160
Speaker 1: anyone actually watching the Browns would say that they have

1829
01:30:26,240 --> 01:30:30,040
Speaker 1: some serious flaws. And this is a total recipe for

1830
01:30:31,000 --> 01:30:33,720
Speaker 1: dropping an egg on Monday Night football when everyone in

1831
01:30:33,720 --> 01:30:35,800
Speaker 1: the country now says and they're taking it off the board,

1832
01:30:35,920 --> 01:30:39,120
Speaker 1: good for you, and of handing them a victory, they're

1833
01:30:39,160 --> 01:30:41,320
Speaker 1: just trying to figure out who you know. But but

1834
01:30:41,520 --> 01:30:43,840
Speaker 1: Dan separate from that, like I. I mean, I think

1835
01:30:43,840 --> 01:30:45,400
Speaker 1: that at least we can hit out at each other,

1836
01:30:45,400 --> 01:30:47,040
Speaker 1: but that's not really what I want to do at all.

1837
01:30:47,080 --> 01:30:49,640
Speaker 1: I think it sucks to be a Jets fan, and

1838
01:30:49,680 --> 01:30:51,760
Speaker 1: I grew up in that territory and they suck since

1839
01:30:51,800 --> 01:30:53,800
Speaker 1: I was in middle school and before that, And it

1840
01:30:53,880 --> 01:30:56,599
Speaker 1: sucks to be a Browns fan for of your life.

1841
01:30:56,640 --> 01:30:59,559
Speaker 1: So it's not one of these middle school arguments where

1842
01:30:59,840 --> 01:31:01,879
Speaker 1: you have it better than I do. It's a disaster

1843
01:31:02,040 --> 01:31:04,360
Speaker 1: and the win the loser of this game. Even with

1844
01:31:04,439 --> 01:31:06,559
Speaker 1: Donald in there is in a lot of hot water.

1845
01:31:06,680 --> 01:31:09,960
Speaker 1: From a coaching and roster perspective, Browns can't lose this game.

1846
01:31:10,040 --> 01:31:12,760
Speaker 1: They need to get a win, especially now the way

1847
01:31:12,800 --> 01:31:14,960
Speaker 1: it's set up for him. Freddy Kitchen is gonna catch

1848
01:31:15,000 --> 01:31:17,000
Speaker 1: a lot of heat if they can't take care of business.

1849
01:31:17,120 --> 01:31:20,960
Speaker 1: State of true. Trumaine Johnson, I don't know, I know

1850
01:31:21,040 --> 01:31:24,080
Speaker 1: the last time I saw a broadcaster do this, rich

1851
01:31:24,200 --> 01:31:28,439
Speaker 1: Gannon circled Trumaine Johnson, then circled John Brown and said

1852
01:31:28,479 --> 01:31:32,439
Speaker 1: this guy can't cover this guy. Yes, and Truemaine Johnson,

1853
01:31:33,280 --> 01:31:35,439
Speaker 1: lest we forget, is one of the highest paid quarterbacks

1854
01:31:35,439 --> 01:31:38,280
Speaker 1: in the entire National Football League. Thank you, Mike mccagnan.

1855
01:31:38,600 --> 01:31:40,680
Speaker 1: He will be cut loose after this year barring some

1856
01:31:40,680 --> 01:31:43,040
Speaker 1: type of miraculous turnaround and play, and the Jets gonna

1857
01:31:43,040 --> 01:31:45,040
Speaker 1: have to eat a lot of dead money to do it.

1858
01:31:45,120 --> 01:31:47,400
Speaker 1: But he has been a complete liability. The only reason

1859
01:31:47,400 --> 01:31:49,840
Speaker 1: he's playing is a that salary and b they don't

1860
01:31:49,840 --> 01:31:52,280
Speaker 1: have anybody else. It's a terrible secondary, which is why

1861
01:31:52,320 --> 01:31:54,960
Speaker 1: even if Donald was there, I would obviously be rooting

1862
01:31:54,960 --> 01:31:56,759
Speaker 1: hard for the Jets, but I would feel really good,

1863
01:31:57,160 --> 01:31:59,600
Speaker 1: um about the Browns winning this game because I just

1864
01:31:59,640 --> 01:32:03,320
Speaker 1: think Donald and or Baker and all these weapons, they're

1865
01:32:03,320 --> 01:32:05,120
Speaker 1: going to carve up a Jets defense that is not

1866
01:32:05,200 --> 01:32:08,920
Speaker 1: that good and woeful at the cornerback position, and you

1867
01:32:08,920 --> 01:32:12,240
Speaker 1: would think that with Jervis Landry and Odell Beckham that

1868
01:32:12,280 --> 01:32:14,120
Speaker 1: they'll be able to pile up points here. Yeah, I

1869
01:32:14,160 --> 01:32:17,960
Speaker 1: think the Browns. Considering the score, didn't concern me that

1870
01:32:18,040 --> 01:32:19,800
Speaker 1: much in Week one. I think Baker needs to get

1871
01:32:19,880 --> 01:32:22,920
Speaker 1: rid of the health a little quicker. He made two

1872
01:32:22,920 --> 01:32:25,160
Speaker 1: of his best throws in that game pretty late in

1873
01:32:25,200 --> 01:32:27,799
Speaker 1: the game, in the in the late third quarter, another

1874
01:32:27,800 --> 01:32:30,439
Speaker 1: one in the fourth so I'm not that worried about them.

1875
01:32:30,520 --> 01:32:33,719
Speaker 1: The the penalties and the sloppiness and losing your composure

1876
01:32:33,760 --> 01:32:35,519
Speaker 1: and kind of caving in at the end of the game,

1877
01:32:36,080 --> 01:32:38,720
Speaker 1: that doesn't seem like something that's gonna happen each week.

1878
01:32:38,880 --> 01:32:41,000
Speaker 1: Their pass rush shouldn't be that bad. I don't think

1879
01:32:41,000 --> 01:32:42,800
Speaker 1: they got a Lemon in Olivia Vernon, but he had

1880
01:32:42,800 --> 01:32:45,120
Speaker 1: about the worst game you could possibly have a week ago.

1881
01:32:45,520 --> 01:32:47,679
Speaker 1: So I think Vernon and Miles, they have a pass rush,

1882
01:32:47,720 --> 01:32:49,559
Speaker 1: they have a quarterback. They should beat the Jets. They

1883
01:32:49,560 --> 01:32:53,040
Speaker 1: should be a favorite. Even with Sam Donald, and now

1884
01:32:53,080 --> 01:32:55,960
Speaker 1: that he's gone, I do expect them to be the

1885
01:32:55,960 --> 01:32:57,640
Speaker 1: team that we expect. I would just say beyond this

1886
01:32:57,680 --> 01:33:00,839
Speaker 1: game though, And I'm allowed to be pessimistic too about Cleveland,

1887
01:33:00,920 --> 01:33:04,960
Speaker 1: Like with their line situation, there there about a six

1888
01:33:05,000 --> 01:33:09,639
Speaker 1: win team. I think I'm not ticketing them for as

1889
01:33:10,240 --> 01:33:13,640
Speaker 1: for eleven wins. What good wide receivers vanished when you

1890
01:33:13,680 --> 01:33:16,600
Speaker 1: cannot protect the quarterback. Quarterback makes the line though, and

1891
01:33:16,880 --> 01:33:19,280
Speaker 1: he was pressured thirteen times out of forty five. He

1892
01:33:19,360 --> 01:33:21,760
Speaker 1: did a bad job taking some sacks, and he took

1893
01:33:21,800 --> 01:33:23,720
Speaker 1: a lot of sacks. Considering the total pressure, there was

1894
01:33:23,720 --> 01:33:25,240
Speaker 1: a lot of plays in that game. He's sitting back

1895
01:33:25,280 --> 01:33:27,960
Speaker 1: there and he's waiting, and they haven't played a lot together,

1896
01:33:28,240 --> 01:33:30,160
Speaker 1: and the offense is a little different, and it was

1897
01:33:30,760 --> 01:33:34,200
Speaker 1: getting up to speed. I think the tackles there was

1898
01:33:34,240 --> 01:33:36,280
Speaker 1: worse tackle play across the league than the Browns have,

1899
01:33:36,640 --> 01:33:40,320
Speaker 1: just to put it in perspective. He was yards in

1900
01:33:40,360 --> 01:33:43,200
Speaker 1: a touchdown by late in the third quarter. And then

1901
01:33:42,520 --> 01:33:47,759
Speaker 1: one last no connected to this game, Odell Beckham. Nobody

1902
01:33:47,800 --> 01:33:50,080
Speaker 1: had spoken about him in twelve hours, so he decided

1903
01:33:50,120 --> 01:33:54,120
Speaker 1: to go after Greg Williams, the Jets defensive coordinator, uh

1904
01:33:54,320 --> 01:33:58,200
Speaker 1: accusing Williams of teaching dirty tactics to his player and

1905
01:33:58,240 --> 01:34:01,040
Speaker 1: saying something along the lines that Williams in his career forever.

1906
01:34:01,160 --> 01:34:04,719
Speaker 1: I guess he's referring to that preseason game last summer,

1907
01:34:04,800 --> 01:34:08,200
Speaker 1: two summers ago when the opponents came up to him

1908
01:34:08,240 --> 01:34:11,559
Speaker 1: and said, Greg Williams, this is the Ram. Yeah, the

1909
01:34:11,720 --> 01:34:15,720
Speaker 1: Rams Giants game where a fight broke out because the

1910
01:34:16,600 --> 01:34:19,639
Speaker 1: Rams were targeting him. I believe it was Odell's rookie.

1911
01:34:19,760 --> 01:34:22,400
Speaker 1: It was obvious. It's oh yeah, it was happening. They

1912
01:34:22,400 --> 01:34:24,360
Speaker 1: were they were trying to hurt and what Henry Anderson

1913
01:34:24,400 --> 01:34:26,080
Speaker 1: did last week to Josh Allen, I ought to get

1914
01:34:26,120 --> 01:34:28,640
Speaker 1: some review two from Greg. Let's see that. Yeah, come on,

1915
01:34:28,720 --> 01:34:31,599
Speaker 1: Greg Williams, Uh listen, he's a hard nosed football cost.

1916
01:34:35,000 --> 01:34:36,479
Speaker 1: I don't know. Do you think I'm gonna defend Greg

1917
01:34:36,479 --> 01:34:40,840
Speaker 1: Glames or not? Okay, Um, all right, that's it. That's

1918
01:34:40,880 --> 01:34:43,599
Speaker 1: the week two preview. The next time you hear from

1925
01:35:05,560 --> 01:35:09,200
Speaker 1: the bird and the beard. Look, I mean it was

1926
01:35:09,280 --> 01:35:11,360
Speaker 1: here last week, wasn't it. I know, but it's really

1927
01:35:12,280 --> 01:35:15,680
Speaker 1: but it's missing when he's dressed as a you know,

1928
01:35:15,720 --> 01:35:19,519
Speaker 1: a Brown college, Brown university pass as well, So I

1929
01:35:19,720 --> 01:35:22,559
Speaker 1: make it. I'd take it a little graduate, a little

1930
01:35:22,560 --> 01:35:25,400
Speaker 1: like Vampire Weekend basis to look going on? All right, Yeah,
