1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: The Around the NFL podcast has never covered a Jets

2
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: playoff game. Now yet Baby from the Chris Westling podcast studio,

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 1: It's Around the NFL um Dan hanzas got Heroes here,

4
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: Greg Rosythal, Mark sas football Man. How lucky are we?

5
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: What a great job, this is what a great sport,

6
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: This is the product that the league puts out there

7
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: is unbelievable. And I just I just pitched myself because

8
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: this is just such a great time to be alive

9
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: doing what we do. And that goes for all the

10
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: all the listeners and viewers of football, which is just

11
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: great love football. I back what you're saying. Each of

12
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: the bullet points that you are just verbalized, I agree with.

13
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: I do think that your spirit, in your mood, it's

14
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: not a butt, it's just more of a I do

15
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 1: believe that your spirit and mood has been elevated and

16
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: lifted by specific events um today, as characterized by the

17
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: word on your sweatshirt, I got sweatshirt. I didn't think

18
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: of that until you said that. But perhaps perhaps that's

19
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: why I love sports so much and why football is

20
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: such a fun sport. Although you know, I know the

21
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: Jets one of the best wins, maybe the best win

22
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 1: of the of the A C N area. It's up there.

23
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: But I would like to think you know easily you

24
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: are loyal to football too. I'm not the only one.

25
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: And uh, the the Week nine slate in the early

26
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: window and then even Tom Brady there at the end

27
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: in the late windows deliver so much as a whole.

28
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: But I think that Dan would have a little bounce

29
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: in his step no matter let's say they let's say

30
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: the Jets had been like heavily and mercilessly waxed by Buffalo.

31
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: We're not getting that opening speech, and I'm glad we're

32
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: getting it, and I'm glad it happened for you. I listen,

33
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 1: a lot of people, a lot of people would be

34
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: destroyed on Sunday, and maybe the man across from me,

35
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler, hinted at it repeatedly, having what I said

36
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 1: was that loss would be a win for you, but

37
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: you didn't believe. All I can tell you is that

38
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: this is an amazing sport football, and I'm happy to

39
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: be here with you, guys, my friends, I'm with you.

40
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: It's more statements I agree with. So why don't we

41
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: you know what, Yeah, why don't we Why don't we

42
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: start with the game that was played in northern New

43
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,119
Speaker 1: Jersey today, because there's been a lot of good football.

44
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: You're making me uncomfort of all this, this version of Dan.

45
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: I don't know who he is. Where neither do I.

46
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: I don't know what's happening. Let's go check it out.

47
00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: The Jets and the Bills lead by three, fourth and one,

48
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: and as Alan trops back to throw, I was on

49
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 1: five yard days hambling to his loft fine time, looking

50
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: down to you. It's a bomb for Davis. Sauce gardeners

51
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 1: there that it's not the way Sauce Carter and position

52
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 1: on kve. Davis knots it away, and the Jets are

53
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: gonna take a knee and win it here at Nutlife Stadium.

54
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: Come come, Bob was using with the call w E

55
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: p n the baby Jets. They're all growns up, and

56
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: they're all grows up, and they're all growns up. Josh

57
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: Alan dare to challenge Sauce Gardner. With the game on

58
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: the line, Zack Wilson threw a touchdown pass and played

59
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: smart in efficient football, and Greg the Legs airline kicked

60
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: the go ahead twenty eight yard field goal with one

61
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: forty three to play. It was the clinching points of

62
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: a win over the Buffalo Bills, widely believed to be

63
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 1: the best team in football entering this Sunday, and um

64
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: mark so many things from a Jet standpoint went right

65
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: in this game. They played their best, most complete game

66
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: against their toughest opponent and have a season changing win

67
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: as a result. And uh yeah, it feels good right

68
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: now to be a Jets fan. It really does. I mean,

69
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 1: if you go back to when the Jets were a

70
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: factor way back when with Darrell Reevas with that elite defense,

71
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: you're seeing the DNA strands of an elite defense here.

72
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: And the one thing we did talk about on Thursday,

73
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: I wasn't being negative about the Jets. I said, you

74
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 1: need your young players, your young heroes like Sauce Gardner

75
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: to show up, and you need need to cause chaos

76
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 1: for Buffalo, and Buffalo is gonna need to be coaxed

77
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: into some air un characteristic melt down, some mistakes. All

78
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: of that happened. I also just said, I'm not sure

79
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: I believe in this team based on where they are

80
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: at quarterback. They played around that today and they did

81
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: everything they needed to do, and it is a legit

82
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: Jets win that makes them a legit competitor and contestant

83
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,679
Speaker 1: in the a f C. This is not a fluke.

84
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: There are really things happening with this Jets team under

85
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 1: Robert Sala that suggests that they are growing quickly. The

86
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: defense has been here pretty much all season. I knew

87
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 1: they would show up in this game, and that's what

88
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: made last week against the Patriots so disappointing, because they

89
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: showed up that week too, but the quarterback didn't show

90
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: up in the second half. So the fact that Wilson

91
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 1: was able to correct a lot of the mistakes that

92
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: defined the lost to New England, that's all they really

93
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: he needs to do. Like his job, Zach Wilson is

94
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: to be competent, hit the throws when they come available,

95
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 1: maybe mix in a big play, and don't kill him

96
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: the turnovers. Because their defense greg is now hitting a

97
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: level uh And remember this was a historically bad defense

98
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: when solid took over just last year. Is that a

99
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: level now where they could shut down any opponent, including

100
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and the Bills. It's crazy that throw Josh

101
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 1: Allen made. You must have been sweating out because it

102
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 1: felt like that that Tech Mobile play where there's a

103
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 1: glitch and the ball just keeps going and going and

104
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: going forever. Just with my eyes, it looked like about

105
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 1: seventy you know, about seventy plus are yards, which is insane,

106
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: but then so fitting that it's gardener there at the end.

107
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: I said, that was the matchup I was looking forward to.

108
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,119
Speaker 1: You can tell me more about it, Jets defense versus

109
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: Bill's offense. The fact that Alan ends with two interceptions

110
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: only two yards rushing, I mean passing on thirty four

111
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: attempts is major. And this is a running in defense year.

112
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 1: Most years you would think that they can't stick around

113
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 1: to the end because you need the passing game. But

114
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: this is more of a running in defense year, and

115
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: we're seeing teams like the Jets survive week to week

116
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 1: and thrive. Yeah, they they have a great secondary um

117
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: led by Sauce. Of course, who to me is the

118
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: defensive rookie of the year. DJ Reid is the guy

119
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: that kind of has been under the radar um as

120
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: another guy that's playing at a Pro Bowl level. So

121
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: you when you have that, going back to those teams

122
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: you're talking about Mark, that's when the Jets had Rebus

123
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,679
Speaker 1: and Antonio Cromarti that could change um, flip the field

124
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: for them and limit what any team could do. This

125
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: is this is their strength. Their defense and their offense

126
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: has been up and down. At quarterback, it's been impacted

127
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: by injuries, but the defense has been here all year long.

128
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, And they ran for a hundred and seventy

129
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: four yards. That's the thing. Yes, And they didn't. They

130
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,119
Speaker 1: didn't have a great running day until it mattered because

131
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: they took over with about seven minutes to play, about

132
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: eight minutes to play, they got the ball at their

133
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: own four game tied at seventeen. They were down by eleven,

134
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: I believe at one point the Jets and they went

135
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: all the way inside the Bill's red zone on eight

136
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: straight running plays. And then when the clock got to

137
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: a point where uh they needed to throw the ball,

138
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: they didn't have to, but they said, we're gonna on

139
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: third down, We're gonna ask Zach to do something. He found,

140
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: of all people, Denzel Mims for a huge first down

141
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: that not only allowed them to get into chip shot range.

142
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: Even though that play that drive stalled and ended with

143
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: the field goal, it put Josh Allen in a situation

144
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: where he had no time outs and no margin for era.

145
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: So when they get a holding call and then a

146
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: crushing sack fumble, it essentially puts the game away. So

147
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: the running games showing up with Breeze Hall gone was huge.

148
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: And Josh Allen struggles. You know, he was a little

149
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: sloppy with the ball the previous week, uh as we

150
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: know for in receptions and two starts, and in this

151
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: game he uh the interceptions were bad, they were poor decisions.

152
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: One was inside the Jets red zone very early in

153
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: the game, um after a long dig's completion, and in general,

154
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 1: he just did not look comfortable. I talked about the

155
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 1: stat um that his numbers really fall off. You could

156
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: probably say this about a lot of quarterbacks with the

157
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,719
Speaker 1: number one receiver. But if you could neutralize Diggs, which

158
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,959
Speaker 1: the Jets largely did other than the first big completion

159
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: on the first play from scrimmage, UM, you can get

160
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: the Bills in a little bit more of a vulnerable position.

161
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: And that's what happened because Diggs was mostly silent after

162
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: that first big play and they didn't have someone else

163
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: they could turn. And it stands out because who's who's

164
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,839
Speaker 1: made the Bills uncomfortable this season. Essentially no one other

165
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 1: than that a couple of moments here and there. I

166
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: mean it was we were too bad picks by by Allen.

167
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 1: And I mean week after week, the Jets defense is

168
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: doing this, and it's your kryptonite in the a f C.

169
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: If you can do this to Buffalo, you can beat anyone. Well,

170
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: they gave him a taste of the Bills medicine. I

171
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: saw that they only blitzed Alan twice. It's the fewest

172
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: he's been blitzed, uh this season certainly, or the second

173
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: least he's ever been blitzed in his career. And they

174
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: lost that game. They don't need to. They got they

175
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: got tons of pressure, they got sacks. He you know,

176
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 1: he got loose for some running players in this game. Uh.

177
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: But the fact that they can do what the Bills

178
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 1: do on defense, which is not blitz and create a

179
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,319
Speaker 1: lot of pressure. I mean that's kind of the skeleton

180
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: key here. And uh, Allen will give you a chance,

181
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: Like there's this idea that always been a little sloppy

182
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. After this week, he might lead

183
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: the league and turnover worthy plays. He still has that

184
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: gene in him where he'll give you a chance a

185
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: couple of times a game, any more than makes up

186
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 1: for you the number two in my m v P race.

187
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: But he'll give you a chance a couple of times.

188
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: And when you're a great defense like the Jets, you

189
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: take advantage. If you look at the Jets last five weeks,

190
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 1: the the amount of yards they have given up through

191
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: the era hundred seventy eight, hundred and fifty eight two,

192
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty one, and then what happened today

193
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: where you know, and if you look at the DIGSZ

194
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: box score, he almost had a hundred yards, but they's

195
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 1: largely shut him down in the second half and so

196
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: much has to do that has to do with their

197
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 1: defensive backfield. Yeah, it was just a great, great performance

198
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: all around. They were down to fourth a half, but

199
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: you and I tweeted about at a time like you

200
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: felt like the whole team had showed up. A lot

201
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 1: of bills, fans traveled and we're in the in the

202
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: in MetLife Stadium, but the Jets crowd was a good

203
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: one as well. It was a really good vibe. And uh, yeah,

204
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 1: they go into their bye week on this, so it's

205
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 1: a great time to hit your by and try to

206
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: get a little more healthy, and then you come out

207
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: and you get a rematch against the Patriots. Patriots so

208
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: and egged on by their reporters, they were already talking

209
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: up that game like, oh, we can't wait, we can't wait.

210
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: We shall see. But it is, it is he does,

211
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: and I'm excited to see. Uh. I'm curious so your

212
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 1: guys reaction when you watch Zack Wilson, because I thought

213
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: you could definitely see him learn from some things that

214
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: happened last week. Even the last his last play from scrimmage,

215
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: it was kind of a broken play and you could

216
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: see him being very wise about I am not gonna

217
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: lose this game. After this amazing drive on a fumble

218
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: here getting taken down, you can tell you just playing smarter.

219
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,719
Speaker 1: But the Bills are owing too in the division and

220
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: now they have two losses, which ties the Chiefs. I

221
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: know it's a long season, but it just opens up

222
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: this AFC still a little bit in a way that

223
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: you wouldn't have You wouldn't have thought that out there,

224
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: a half game out of the a f C East

225
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: lead with the tiebreaker right now in the Bills. How

226
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: about that? But You don't want to hear anything more

227
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: from me. You want to hear from a different member

228
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: of the Hands family. His name is Keith, his dad's dad.

229
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: Don't doubt about it. He's a big Jets fan. What

230
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: is he going to say that the game today? What

231
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:28,719
Speaker 1: does he goes will happen game? To say? What a

232
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 1: great win for the Jets beating the Buffalo Bills? And

233
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,839
Speaker 1: now was that an exciting game? I thought it was

234
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,439
Speaker 1: a tremendous comeback, the way they hung in there with

235
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: them and they stopped Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills

236
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: and six and three. If you would have told anybody

237
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: they'd be six and three after nine games going into

238
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: Dubai and then they're gonna play in New England again.

239
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 1: Let's see what they can do. Go Jets, j E

240
00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 1: t s Jets, Jets Jets About a little perspiration on

241
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: Keith shirt. He was sweating it out with the rest

242
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: of us. I mean, he's been waiting forever. It's been

243
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 1: a long time task to feel. Is there an element

244
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: of it being entirely surreal? Like are you catching up

245
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: to what? There is a real vibe around the fan

246
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: base right now, because it really doesn't like this. If

247
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: they have a bad loss, let's say against the Patriots

248
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 1: coming out of the bye you're not going to give

249
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,079
Speaker 1: up hope again, think where you were a fortnit Ago.

250
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: I can as a fan. There are highs and lows.

251
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: That's just part of the experience. But right now that

252
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 1: was very low, then very high. Now you know what else,

253
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: We're always getting banged by the listeners for talking about

254
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: the Jets too much, and look at I think there's

255
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: times where that's a relevant comment. Well not this time,

256
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: so shut up. That's I like the listener. So I'm

257
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: sort of saying that to anyone that wants to create

258
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 1: rabble rows this week, you just don't do it this week.

259
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: Thank you, Mark. All right, well, thank you everybody for listening.

260
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: We'll be back on Tuesday with another episode. There's more,

261
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: There is more. I know when you came into the

262
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 1: office today, you're like, how about that, Greggy, And for

263
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: a second it was of course you're talking about it,

264
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: just but I wasn't sure what you're talking about because

265
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 1: there has been other football to that point. Like, it

266
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what I say to you. Almost always when

267
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: I say something to Greg, his first thing is like

268
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: what and then I have to clarify, Greg, I have

269
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 1: a thing, just a little fog. There's a fog around

270
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: in front of me. And then like it takes a

271
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: second and a half to register. I wonder where that

272
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: is coming from, Moky Hayes. All right, there was more football.

273
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: In fact, let's go through all these early games because

274
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: we had I think five games decided by a field goal.

275
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: Uh so let's head to another one in Detroit. Roger's back,

276
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: he's got it looking looking, crush its it up for

277
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: grabs in the end. Let's get out of here, starting

278
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: street and man, did this team need that? This football

279
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: is great? Well? What a sport? Well now they've won

280
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: me over, Dan Miller with a call w x y T,

281
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions became the latest defense to shut down

282
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, getting the big stop on

283
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: fourth down in the final minute to seal a fifteen

284
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: to nine win. Uh that, yes, as you heard from

285
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: Dan Miller. Finally the Lions get that second w and

286
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers, for I believe the first time

287
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: in the Aaron Rodgers era when he's the quarterback, have

288
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: lost five straight games and this was another one. Guys,

289
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: this is another game from my draft. Nice draft by

290
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: Zeo Sir on a big spot. Um. Another game where

291
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: the players were there, it was there for the Packers

292
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: to do what every other team has done against the Lions,

293
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: which is hanging four d plus total yards and twenty

294
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: seven to third five points or whatever. Um. But just

295
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: failure to execute over and over and for a guy

296
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: that went on a major radio podcast show, UM recently

297
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: and publicly said that members of his team, his teammates

298
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: need to be losing playing time uh and having their

299
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: reps cut to then go to Ford Field and play

300
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: the game that Aaron Rodgers played where he threw two

301
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: end zone interceptions bad ones. He threw um another ball

302
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: a deep pass that would have been a touchdown if

303
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: he just puts the right throw out there. He under

304
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: throws his uh uh. I don't remember if it was

305
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: Lazard I believe, or maybe it was I'm not sure

306
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: who was actually, but he underthrows that receiver. All throughout

307
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: the game. He's missing throws. And it's not only Aaron

308
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: Rodgers is not the only reason they lose this game,

309
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: and credit is due to the Lions and my boy

310
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn. Their defensive coordinator who has been under fire

311
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: obviously with the rest of that coaching staff, but seeing

312
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: Rogers leaving yards and points on the field every week

313
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: is stunning. Seeing against a Detroit defense that's been historically

314
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 1: inept is a whole whole other level to this. A

315
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 1: Detroit defense that've had two interceptions all year, that couldn't

316
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 1: stop anyone through the air or on the ground, and

317
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 1: have Aaron Rodgers end the game with foeign completions and

318
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: to have him still like show this frustration it seems

319
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 1: to be beamed out and aimed at everyone but himself.

320
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: I just I find I find the whole situation very problematic.

321
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: They've got the Cowboys, Titans, and Eagles up yet next

322
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: and no humble brag. But I said on Thursday, I'm

323
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: not sure they get to seven wins, and like seven

324
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: wins would be a nice set finished to their season. Well,

325
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 1: you can't humble brag about your lack of belief in

326
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: the team of a t M. This is why you

327
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 1: never give up on the team of a t M.

328
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 1: They're on a one game winning streak, this was their

329
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 1: super ball. Don't give up on them. I just I didn't.

330
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: I wasn't enjoying the expert same same same losses, uh,

331
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: same loss column when they bleed. That's they They got

332
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: the you know, great defensive game for the Lions, you know,

333
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 1: in terms of being um opportunistic and everything. But essentially

334
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: they also had their worst offensive game of the year.

335
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: Like the Packers defense did as much as they've done

336
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 1: all year, giving up only two d and fifty four yards.

337
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: They were put in a bad position by their offenseill game,

338
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 1: and it still didn't matter, which is it's shocking. Like

339
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: the post game quotes from Rogers Ers, here's Rogers, you

340
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: know what's gone wrong? Well, I mean I played, but um,

341
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 1: I never gave up. Obviously, I don't want to lead

342
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,360
Speaker 1: us in rushing. Um, but I knew I was gonna

343
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: have to make some place on my legs. And that's

344
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: really the moving forward. I'm gonna have to keep doing

345
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: things like that. I feel like we never gave up.

346
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: I mean, we just moved the ball well in the

347
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: first half, and I do a couple of picks in

348
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 1: the end zone took points off the board, so that

349
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: obviously came back to artist down the stretch. Look, I

350
00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: know they didn't run the ball great. When they did

351
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 1: try to day, Aaron Jones got banged up and I

352
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 1: think they had a fifty nine yards between Dylan and Jones.

353
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: But the comment that mattered more to me, uh then

354
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:10,959
Speaker 1: that post game one was one that Aaron Rodgers made

355
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: to Aaron Andrews during the week, who he has a

356
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 1: pretty close relationship with it and he's told her, I

357
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 1: want to go down swinging. Instead of last week where

358
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 1: they were really focusing on the run and people are

359
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 1: trying to, you know, give them, uh, you know, kudos

360
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: for running the balls saunch. He's like, if I'm gonna

361
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: go down, I want to go down swinging. And he's

362
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 1: talking about throwing the ball deep down the field and

363
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 1: they tried it today. Didn't work. It did not work,

364
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, for the Lions, I thought, you know,

365
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 1: there's still a team with a lot of problems. I

366
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 1: don't think this is uh we're going to see them

367
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: making a charge here necessarily, But at the same time,

368
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: it has to be a total relief for everyone in

369
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: that building and on this show, it's become a sad

370
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 1: tradition of the team of a t M. To hear

371
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell be sad um in his postgame press conference.

372
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: So let's hear Dan Campbeill be happy for we at last. Listen,

373
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 1: of course, at I'll be honest that I'm exhausted. So

374
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 1: why I just you know, I'll go home, put the

375
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 1: foot up, drink a beer. Um, you know, I love it,

376
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 1: I get it. I'm not giving up on them. We

377
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 1: got they got the Bears, the Bears in the Giants.

378
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: Win those two games to get to four and six.

379
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 1: I know that's tough, two road games, but it's possible.

380
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: And then you at least get to Thanksgiving against the Bills.

381
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 1: Why they give them the Bills and Thanksgiving. You know,

382
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: with momentum, anybody could take down the Bills playing the

383
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: Bills on Thanksgiving. When they do that to these teams

384
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:41,400
Speaker 1: you're doing, I mean, I get you what. You can't

385
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: out them playing a dud because then it's an unwatchable game.

386
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: But it's true, that's absurd. Yes, So the lines approved

387
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: to two and six, two and three at home, and

388
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 1: I worry that Justin Fields might have a thousand total

389
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,479
Speaker 1: yards against the lines. But maybe this is a defense

390
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 1: that will are to get some momentum off this. Uh

391
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: Aidan Hutchinson had his first interception of any kind. I

392
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: believe there was a quote after the game. You never

393
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: even had one in high school or pop warn or anything.

394
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 1: So uh, nice, nice win. And for the Packers, this

395
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 1: was We talked about it on the Thursday Show. Also, like, man,

396
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: you don't go into Ford Field and hang a bunch

397
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: of points on the Lions and get healthy, you have

398
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: a major problem. The Packers have a major problem. Well,

399
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: it is directly tied to the quarterbacks in other directions.

400
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,439
Speaker 1: That was your asset test. You failed your season. If

401
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 1: I had a fork on me, I would fork them

402
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 1: right now. I don't need to spend another week or

403
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 1: two hanging around wondering because I don't even care if

404
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: they go on a hot streak. I don't buy them

405
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: as anything more than a trash barge floating down the

406
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 1: dark river. I mean, you've been you've been waiting for

407
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,439
Speaker 1: this for seven years, and then you picked against them,

408
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: against the Commanders. You picked them as your lock three

409
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:59,239
Speaker 1: weeks ago. And yeah, you say, honestly, I almost well,

410
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: I couldn't know if I could lock this. I think

411
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: I tried to lock them again. This time. I was

412
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: gonna turn around and do that. And he was like

413
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 1: I'm glad. I would like I would have driven home.

414
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: All right, He's you're right with his deep balls aren't

415
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 1: getting there all the time. And this was an indoor game.

416
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: It's a little intra it's a little bit, you know.

417
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: It's it's forty. He's forty years old. He's not forty.

418
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: He's forty? Is it? Interceptions during thirty nine and one month?

419
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: But um, the weird thing is and we got to

420
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: move on. But the weird thing about watching Rodgers in

421
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: this game, Um, he still moves really well. He'll spin,

422
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: he'll throw some beautiful he'll make some beautiful throws like

423
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: that's Aaron Rodgers. But then he'll just he misses so

424
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,719
Speaker 1: many throws this year. It's just been a different guy.

425
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: There will not be three straight m v p s

426
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: for number twelve. He's as many picks as he did

427
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: all last year. Let's take a break and we will

428
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 1: welcome in our buddy Shook. Welcome back before we bring

429
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: in a shookie for one game. Cameo this week? Did

430
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 1: you see Fox trying to um pump up the Cowboys Packers?

431
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: Don't get me started on this and I were talking

432
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 1: about this all rivalry renewed yeah, I just like hook.

433
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 1: I guess if you're like most, you have to be

434
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,719
Speaker 1: the most super cash fan to not get to one

435
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 1: of these teams is like totally spinning down the drain.

436
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: Rivalry renewed, and they're like showing shots of Dak caught it.

437
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 1: It's like, what am I missing? Why? Why is this

438
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: now renewed? It's they there was zero irony to the commercial, Like,

439
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 1: I mean, one of the teams was great in the sixties,

440
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: the nineteen sixties, and then one was great in the

441
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: nineteen seventies, and uh, they've been great at various points since.

442
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: But they're suggesting by saying that now it is a

443
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: rivalry renewing. They're suggesting that the recent years, like during

444
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: the run of this podcast, they haven't been rivals or

445
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: it hasn't been a big deal, but now it is

446
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,719
Speaker 1: total one of the worst teams in the NFC. They

447
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: pushed it hard. They should have just had a big

448
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: picture of Mike McCarthy and saying that is gonna get

449
00:23:56,440 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: his revenge. How about that? That's a at our ad campaign.

450
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: Let's check in with the future, Zaddie as we get

451
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,640
Speaker 1: to our next game. Don't put that on him. Come on, Greg,

452
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: here we go. Yeah, come on, Greg, seven yards kick

00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: us off has kicked the Minnesota Vikings to a twenty

454
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 1: seventeen lead. So you have to understand the history of

455
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings to understand why on a chip shot

456
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: field goal Paul Allen, who's called every miserable field goal

457
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: moment in Vikings history, how nervous he sounds. There, Come on, Greg,

458
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: we need you here anyway, k f A n there.

459
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins leads another comeback victory and everyone likes it

460
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: twenty to seventeen. Well, the Commanders don't. But that's the

461
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,120
Speaker 1: way it is for the Commanders, whose winning streak is over.

462
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 1: We now welcome in Nick Shook future Zaddy. In my opinion, Uh, Shookie,

463
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: you know, the Vikings are really difficult to figure out.

464
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 1: I feel like we're gonna have this conversation again because

465
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: in this game, they're the better team, They're a superior

466
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: team with a better roster, and yet they're they're sweating

467
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 1: out a game against Washington in which they were trailing

468
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:29,160
Speaker 1: by double digits I believe at one point, yeah, double

469
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: digits in the fourth quarter, and it looks like Washington

470
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,199
Speaker 1: was about one more player from pulling away, and they

471
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 1: just did barely enough and got enough little mistakes by

472
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,119
Speaker 1: Washington to stay in the game. Couple long passes to

473
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: jeff and Justin Jefferson, one early on the first touchdown

474
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: drive another to keep that drive alive that led to

475
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 1: a field goal that made it a one score game.

476
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 1: Then they get the timely interception and that's basically how

477
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: they got back in the game. But you know, as

478
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: I wrote in the what we learned, they had a

479
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 1: great opening drive on score touchdown, everything is looking good

480
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 1: and then they just fell asleep. Yes, thank you. I

481
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: try to get the plug great an underrated column on

482
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: NFL dot com really summarizing everything in succinct manner. Every

483
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 1: week it's the top article in the news stack on

484
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 1: NFL dot com and Shook. Everyone should know. This shouldn't

485
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: be a surprise. But Shook is the lead writer. Whether

486
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: that's official or not, he is the lead writer. He

487
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: gets to choose which games to watch, uh, and they

488
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: it runs and breathes. A valuable employee to say the least. Well,

489
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 1: first off, I feel like I'm listening to a Wikipedia

490
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 1: read out of actually is. Secondly, you guys know, I

491
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: picked my games to fit the podcast. So it all right,

492
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,719
Speaker 1: trying everyone in the mirage. This is Hollywood. Nope, I'm

493
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 1: bringing it back. This show business. Let's shock. Let me

494
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: just throw to this because this was fun. Um Kirk Cousins,

495
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 1: who again was on a team that played in Minnesota

496
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: called the Vikings last year that blew every game that

497
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 1: they're now winning. Uh, and it's leading to the rebirth.

498
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: You want to talk about a something renewed. You like

499
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: that is renewed. Let's check this out. You like that?

500
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: Do you think that the teammate it seems like they

501
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: kind of like Kirk. It's kind of like there. They

502
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: like him enough that they put all of their chains

503
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 1: around his neck, which had to be about fifty pounds.

504
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 1: He's shirtless on the plane, dancing in the aisle in

505
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,400
Speaker 1: the plane with him wearing all of their jewelry because

506
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,159
Speaker 1: we know it's not his jewelry. You know, we know

507
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 1: he's not wearing a chain of the stadium. My personal

508
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: opinion on you like that it's played out. It was

509
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,360
Speaker 1: a Washington thing. Fans in Washington. They were in Washington.

510
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 1: I think that's why he did it here. This was

511
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: a little ex Yeah, they started mocking him. Fans were

512
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: doing it, you like that chance in the stadium when

513
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: they were up by ten points. So of course he

514
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 1: gets the last laugh. But far from a perfect performance

515
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 1: for him, for sure. I hear you. But the play,

516
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: if you're watching on YouTube, that we happen to be

517
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: looking at right now, third and seven, twelve minutes and

518
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,719
Speaker 1: thirty seins left in the game, they're down ten, they

519
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: don't pick up that first down, they might not win,

520
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:10,880
Speaker 1: and Kirk uncorks a beauty. Here's the thing about Kirk Cousins.

521
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: He's a beautiful thrower of the football. What he's protected

522
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 1: and actually that play he wasn't protected. He did it

523
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 1: under pressure. But he isn't playing any better this year.

524
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: I don't think that he normally plays. But that was

525
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 1: a big time throw in a big moment and helped

526
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 1: start the comeback. And two it was a big time

527
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: throwing in a in a moment in which right before

528
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 1: he had thrown interception that was brought back by defensive

529
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 1: pass interference on Benjamin. Don't ruin the Hollywood story here

530
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: that we're trying to spend. I do. There is something,

531
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: there is something about the offense that I can never

532
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: trust you alluded to it, but they went seventy eight

533
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 1: yards on nine plays and then they go six months

534
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: in an interception. It's like what happens Mark when when

535
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 1: the competition gets better and they go into these funks

536
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: and then you're putting a lot of stretch on your

537
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: defense to keep you in the game. I just I

538
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: don't know. I've been a so has truly been tested yet,

539
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: but credit to them from piling up wins. I got

540
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: a text from a Vikings fan who's been listening to

541
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: this show since day one, and he was like, I

542
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: don't want to hear any nonsense about the Vikings offense

543
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: going to sleep like they normally do because we're seven

544
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: and one and deal with so. They are survivors. They've

545
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: they've survived in a way they didn't last year through

546
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: some of their darker moments. I want to ask you

547
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: one question that shook. There was a play here where

548
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel had a touch down. Sorry job. You guys

549
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: met him at the Minnesota super Bowl and he loves

550
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 1: you guys. Great guy. He's a great guy to you know.

551
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: Let the Vikings have a little bit of there's five

552
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: wit losses up on the Packers. Right there. They have

553
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: to play at Buffalo next week, So enjoy this week

554
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: while you can, because you're getting angry bills. You're getting

555
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: angry to get angry bills. But you know what, that's

556
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 1: a great, great test for the Vikings. That's perfect. You

557
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: have to show what you're made of against a top opponent.

558
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: That's nice. I shook. I want to ask you quick

559
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:55,719
Speaker 1: question because there was no kind of play in here

560
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 1: that I want to go review. It sounds delicious to me.

561
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: Where a ref knockdown at a fencing back on that

562
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel touchdown. Love these things. Yes, yes, So it's

563
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: like a ball into triple coverage is just like a

564
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: desperation heave. It's kind of on target a DBS going back.

565
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: It's cam bind him. He's in perfect position to pick

566
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 1: it off and he collides with the ref and the

567
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: replay is fantastic from one angle where you see the

568
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: ref stiff as a board falling to the ground, and

569
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 1: as he's falling he's still keeping his eyes on the play,

570
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: not protecting or bracing himself whatsoever. My fiance was sitting

571
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: here and I looked at and said, hey, look at

572
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: this replay. Look how this ref falls as if he's

573
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: falling into a coffin. It was just, it was majestic,

574
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 1: it was fun, it was we needed that ref fainting

575
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: this week. It would have been almost would have pulled

576
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 1: it off and just another plug of the what we

577
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 1: learned on NFL dot com. I love the little next

578
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: gen stat of the game. Harrison Smith had a huge

579
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: interception which improved Minnesota's win probability by twenty two point

580
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: nine from fourteen point seven to thirty seven point six.

581
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 1: That's what it's about. Watch out there, exactly what it's about.

582
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: I look at uh coming off of Greg's laptop in

583
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: the middle. Here's the thing. It would have been lightened

584
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: the podcast, but now you're, you know, making it into

585
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 1: it because it came on and both Mark and I

586
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: looked at you and you just stayed frozen. And I

587
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: had no idea it was coming from my computer. Clearly

588
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: it was coming from an advertisement, you know one Uh,

589
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: what's not going to get an advertisement this week? We

590
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 1: have some developing news here from after this game. Taylor Heineke,

591
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: He's not buying any Nikes this week. The air Jordan's

592
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: in uh in purple and yellow. I don't know I'm

593
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: color blind, not not getting purchased. Sorry, Heineck, that interception,

594
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 1: you know that that's the colors of the Vikings though, right,

595
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, but I mean, um yeah, that the

596
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: purple and yellow are their colors. You're just gold. Look

597
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: at it. Sometimes they have little subtle you know, gradations

598
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: of these things. Purple certainly shook. Anything else to add

599
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 1: on this particular game, I can't confirm that the Vikings

600
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 1: are purple and gold. Um. I thought for a second

601
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 1: there that Taylor Heineke had basically secured the job no

602
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 1: matter whether Carson went Wentz was healthy or not, because

603
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: this team plays with more energy with him. They just

604
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: look like they want to be out there when he's

605
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: on the field. He earns that with his play, come

606
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 1: on that that, but that they're like one of their

607
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: two touchdowns should have been an interception that the official

608
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: you know, knocked over the players. He even said after

609
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: the game that guy deserves a game ball. I could

610
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 1: not have stood you said, like the Vikings are a

611
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: little bit of a soft seven one. If the if

612
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 1: Washington had somehow won that game with that being a

613
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: key play, it would have been the worst four game

614
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: winning drinking the history of the NFL. I've never seen

615
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: a luckier then the vic Then the Commanders have the

616
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: last three weeks to win those three games. That there's

617
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 1: so much more watchable with Heynick, in my opinion, than Wentz,

618
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: so I I don't really care about what the team

619
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: is doing. Who locked it up? Because of what Greg

620
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 1: just said about the luckiest four game winning streak. I

621
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: locked up the Vikings successfully. Thank you very much, great

622
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: job justin. Good job, buddy, all right, another good employee. Hey,

00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 1: No one more plug NFL dot com slash Underdogs where

626
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: I took the Lions over the Packers. Look at that

627
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: way to go, Way to go, ladies and gentlemen. Let's

628
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: head to Soldier Field next another field goal game, empty backfield,

629
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: feels back to us, all getting fresh, He's gonna run

630
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: with it, gets all and talked away by x Man

631
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: who wanted say Brown that Ty got his hand in

632
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: there and the Dolphins will escape the Chicago haralously Well.

633
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 1: The defense van struggled most to stay, but they came

634
00:33:54,600 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 1: up big lay just staying Jimmy Wow, Jimmy Cefalo and

635
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: Joe Rose, the call w q A M. Everybody knows

636
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: X Man is former NBA power forward Xavier McDaniel. Let's

637
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: not go transferring the nickname teammates with the teammates with

638
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: the glove back in the day, Very good, Mark, what well,

639
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 1: it's a different sport NBA back in the day, during

640
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,800
Speaker 1: that day, that time period, that era where it is

641
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,320
Speaker 1: not so much now? What do you think about the

642
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: Seattle Sonics now? I wish they still existed? Do you

643
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 1: think do you think that I am like, do you

644
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: think I would not know that that team did not exist?

645
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 1: I don't tend to And this is in no way

646
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: a takedown. I don't see you really as a sports

647
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 1: fan as much as you are a fan of football

648
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,360
Speaker 1: and the Browns. That so, I didn't know whether you

649
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: were totally plugged in on the move to Oklahoma City,

650
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: for instance, it's a fair question to a Taco through

651
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 1: for three touchdowns, Tyreek Hill had a hundred. You know

652
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: he's gonna have over two thousand receiving yards if he

653
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 1: stays healthy. Hundred forty three more for Tyreeke and the

654
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 1: Dolphins somehow held off Justin Fields, who's all of a

655
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: sudden saying, hey, I'm not just making the leap in

656
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 1: year two. I'm heading toward the superstar club. But it

657
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,240
Speaker 1: wasn't enough to beat the Dolphins and they're high flying attack.

658
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: Final score thirty five to thirty two. Let's welcome back

659
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 1: Rave Digger, who helped us out with this game. Justin Uh,

660
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 1: it feels like now it is to be assumed that

661
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 1: two was gonna throw for three hundred and three touchdowns

662
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: no matter the opponent. Too. It looks really good in

663
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: this offense, and he's hitting guys over the middle of

664
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: the field. Tyreek Hill said after the game that he's

665
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 1: the most accurate quarterback in the NFL, again doubling down

666
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 1: on his preseason comments. But I don't know if two

667
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 1: was playing really well or if he's played two bad

668
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 1: defenses in a row. Because the Bears defense could not

669
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: get a stop in this game, but neither could the

670
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 1: Dolphins defense. This was a real track of the game,

671
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 1: and not just because Justin Field's literally sprinted sixty one

672
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 1: yards to the end zone, but like just up and

673
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 1: down the field, both teams piling on yards and it

674
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,760
Speaker 1: came down to those key stops. I mean, the blocked

675
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 1: punt was the difference in this game, really, and when

676
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,399
Speaker 1: was that? What's the story that was in the first half?

677
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 1: It put the Dolphins up twenty one to ten, but

678
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: it was like they're only stopped the dolphins only stop

679
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:26,760
Speaker 1: of the first half, and it led to immediate seven points,

680
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 1: which was obviously crucial and put the Bears in a

681
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 1: hole that they continue to like claw their way back

682
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: and make it a close game. But every time they

683
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 1: got closed, the Dolphins would go ahead again two straight

684
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 1: weeks and I I hear you, and I I was

685
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: thinking the same thing because you know, the receivers are

686
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,800
Speaker 1: so so open for to and the Bears defense seemed

687
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,399
Speaker 1: to have phoned it in the last couple of weeks

688
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,919
Speaker 1: after trading way two of their best players. Eddie Jackson

689
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 1: has been there forever said out loud this week, it

690
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 1: makes me wonder if I should start, uh, you know, trying,

691
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 1: Like why are we even trying here when when you're

692
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,720
Speaker 1: trading away our best player, Like we for pickted on Thursday.

693
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 1: But this is gonna cause having inside that locker room,

694
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 1: But how many offenses in two can just put thirty

695
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:10,320
Speaker 1: on the regular on bad defenses. There's like four maybe

696
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 1: in Miami's one of them especially, so there is no

697
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 1: such thing to me as like you're you're beating up

698
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 1: on a bad defense because no other offenses essentially are

699
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 1: doing that. That's kind of like, yeah, what my point was?

700
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 1: I think this is just gonna be I And you

701
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: gotta give a ton of credit to to Mike McDaniel

702
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:30,720
Speaker 1: m who obviously has a scheme that he's he's connecting

703
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 1: with the players. It works, and to a who is

704
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: a guy that was a huge figure of of suspicion

705
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: and doubt. Um, I believe I have a sandwich prop

706
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 1: about him not making it through the season as a starter.

707
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: I was not alone in those doubts. But he is

708
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 1: coming up and delivering and he's just a really good

709
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 1: fit for the offense, which is ironic because remember when

710
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:55,400
Speaker 1: I remember I was in Disneyland with my kids, uh

711
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 1: and my parents when the Tyreke trade went down, and

712
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 1: the initial take was I don't know if it's a

713
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 1: great fit with this quarterback, and blah blah blah. He

714
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 1: is a perfect guy for this offense because the receivers

715
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 1: get so open and he puts it on the money

716
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 1: and lets them do the work. Um, but let's talk

717
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 1: a little Justin Fields. I mean, this is unbelieval. He

718
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 1: ran for one d and seventy eight yards in this game.

719
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 1: That is the most ever by a quarterback. And Mark

720
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 1: we're seeing this now. This is the guy that you

721
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:26,479
Speaker 1: know when they moved up to take him in the drift.

722
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 1: This is the guy that they hoped they were getting.

723
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 1: And it's a huge development in this season. I know,

724
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 1: I know Bears fans want to be winning these games

725
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 1: and it's it's almost impossible with their defense. But this

726
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:42,320
Speaker 1: has to be the most encouraging development for Chicago fans

727
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,320
Speaker 1: in a decade plus, if not two decades, three decades.

728
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 1: They even had a quarterback for so long they made

729
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: that NFC Championship game. Don't take that away from Jake Cutler,

730
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:52,879
Speaker 1: but for the exact reason that you kind of knew

731
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 1: you didn't have the guy that was going to take

732
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:56,280
Speaker 1: you all the way. What's going on with with Justin

733
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 1: Fields in the future? But when I only like Luke

734
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:00,879
Speaker 1: Etsy to me and what they because you know, it's

735
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 1: a defensive head coach, Mattie Refluce ats he's running the

736
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 1: show there and it reminds me. It gives me shades

737
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 1: of what the Eagles did last year with Jalen Hurts,

738
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 1: when it's like, let's tailor this around our quarterback. Let's

739
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 1: become run heavy and get it anyway we can. And

740
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 1: if you if justin Fields between now and next season

741
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 1: the same way Ola Hurts did, grows even more as

742
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 1: a passer you're looking at. I think right now, the

743
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 1: second best running quarterback in the league behind Lamar Jackson

744
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 1: and maybe the best justin Fields was unstoppable with his

745
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 1: legs today. I think there was only one third down

746
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:33,800
Speaker 1: he tried to take off with his legs that he

747
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 1: didn't convert, and the Bears converted ten third downs on

748
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 1: sixteen attempts today, which is I mean, just incredible. They

749
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,239
Speaker 1: really couldn't stop him when he ran the ball, and

750
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 1: he actually made two plays on the final drive that

751
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 1: could have been like at least leading to a game

752
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 1: tying field goal or a game winning touchdown. The first

753
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:54,919
Speaker 1: one a little controversial targeting Claypool could have been called

754
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 1: for pass interference could have should have especially with the

755
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 1: way this game was officially. Did the first drive for

756
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 1: each team they got some semi week past interference calls downfield,

757
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 1: so like that one definitely should have been a past interference.

758
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 1: And then we saw the highlight of the last play,

759
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 1: which the announcers gave Zavian Howard credit for getting his

760
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 1: hand in there, but that was that was a drop

761
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 1: by Equinimius st Brown that Justin Fields made the right

762
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:21,439
Speaker 1: throw on the money and the receiver did not catch

763
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 1: the ball, and then they lose the game. So that

764
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 1: was not a stop right and and you know, there's

765
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 1: a little concern. It's not like their traditional passing game

766
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: for Fields work today they had add twenty three yards attempts.

767
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 1: But if I'm the Dolphins, I'm getting a little concerned

768
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: about the defense. I think one of the reasons they

769
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 1: gave up a first round pick for Bradley Chubb is

770
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 1: they've been a really disappointing defense this year. They've been

771
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,320
Speaker 1: i would say one of the more disappointing defense in

772
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 1: the year. It's been totally papered over by the offense.

773
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 1: But they're not expecting to be a bottom ten defense

774
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 1: the same scheme, with the same some of the same players,

775
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 1: so that that's a concern. They haven't been great and

776
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 1: third and short and then just just before we move on.

777
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:05,840
Speaker 1: It is Luke getsy uh. Etsy is the online market

778
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 1: place where people come together to sell by and I said,

779
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 1: unique items, often like little trinkets, you know, hand by

780
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 1: the way, Thanks a lot, Greg, that's a really great

781
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 1: way to correct someone you're working with as a teammate

782
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 1: for ten plus years on the show. There are serpents

783
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 1: everywhere around you. Because someone got in my ear to say,

784
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:27,800
Speaker 1: call him out. He doesn't know how to say gets.

785
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,320
Speaker 1: Oh no, he didn't in my ear, and I shut it.

786
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: I said, you know what, I'm gonna let Mark roll here.

787
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 1: But there was another snake slithering your way. But you

788
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 1: know what I mean, confirmed behind the glass. There was

789
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:43,840
Speaker 1: no snake in my ear. I was the snake. I

790
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:47,360
Speaker 1: want to just like to make sure everyone knew that

791
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 1: I must clarify the evil was all my own. If

792
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 1: if it wasn't a funny online market place where you

793
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:55,839
Speaker 1: can get like little nice items. If you just want

794
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 1: to kind of like you have your mood board and

795
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 1: you're like looking to pick out some things, I'll buy

796
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:06,919
Speaker 1: you a mood board. Alright, let's keep moving, gentlemen. Let's

797
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 1: head to a town Boone, that's Atlanta. And this will

798
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:18,799
Speaker 1: be for the game or overtime, Chargers winning a walk

799
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 1: off if it goes through snap good, hold, good, kick

800
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 1: us up. It is God. Cameron Decker for the win. Ah.

801
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: There he is the erstwhile voice of God and the

802
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 1: Around the NFL podcast really always and forever. Matt money Smith,

803
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 1: k Y s R. With the call. Cameron Dicker. Dicker

804
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 1: the kicker, kicked a game ending field goal three days

805
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 1: after he was signed as a free agent, and that

806
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 1: lifted the Chargers over the Falcons twenty to seventeen. Dicker

807
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 1: also made a thirty one yard or with five and

808
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:01,320
Speaker 1: a half minutes to play to tie the game. Also,

809
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 1: I must say he went to the same college as

810
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 1: Justin Graver, our producer, which apparently is very important. Why

811
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 1: do you have why do you have to say that

812
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:13,399
Speaker 1: people like that stuff? I don't know it is a thing,

813
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 1: Greggy Um. The Chargers found a way here, and despite

814
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:23,399
Speaker 1: them being somewhat underwhelming on balance this year, they get

815
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 1: into like the halfway with their point half midway point

816
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:28,719
Speaker 1: of their season. Easy for me to say, in good

817
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 1: shape at five and three. Yeah, they gave the game

818
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 1: ball to old Dicker. I think it's the third different

819
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 1: kicker that's gotten a game from Staley uh this season.

820
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 1: After the game which only the Chargers could pop, I

821
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:45,320
Speaker 1: learned nothing about either of these teams. It was the

822
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:48,239
Speaker 1: most predictable game of the year in terms of all

823
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 1: the strengths you expected, all those storylines, all the narratives

824
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 1: throughout the courses. He's on both sides exactly played out.

825
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 1: It's a great called. The narratives are are very strong

826
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 1: with these two particular teams. It's back. It's like the

827
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:04,320
Speaker 1: short passing from Herbert never going downfield. Yep. Absolutely no

828
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:07,359
Speaker 1: pass rush for Atlanta, yep. Like Atlanta held the ball.

829
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 1: Both these teams with these long drives in Atlanta started

830
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 1: the game running it really well yep. And then of

831
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 1: course there's a crazy ending that has to involve kickers,

832
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 1: where something bizarre happens. The Charges little twist on it

833
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 1: this time, though, was that as they're going in for

834
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:25,800
Speaker 1: the most perfect four minute drill of the season, and

835
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 1: I always love it when the team gets it with

836
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:30,280
Speaker 1: just over four minutes left, and then the announcer explains

837
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:32,720
Speaker 1: the four minute drill. And we've watched a lot of football,

838
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:34,320
Speaker 1: so we've heard that explanation I'm not saying it's a

839
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 1: bad idea, but they explained like, Okay, they want to

840
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 1: take all the clockdown, and that's exactly what they were

841
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 1: gonna do. It's a great example. That was a good example.

842
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:47,759
Speaker 1: Um No, it wasn't really right. They needed a touchdown there.

843
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:49,759
Speaker 1: The four minute drill is like, you want to take

844
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 1: all the time off and then you want to you know,

845
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:54,400
Speaker 1: win it at the end, and you know you're just

846
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:58,239
Speaker 1: like bringing that game up. That also was a good game.

847
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:02,439
Speaker 1: That was a him down there, But this time as

848
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 1: as like the Chargers are bleeding the clock and when

849
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 1: they got the ball back, I was like, oh, the

850
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 1: Charges are winning this game because every stop that Atlanta

851
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 1: made and it felt both ways, felt like a miracle.

852
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 1: In this game, they get inside the ten yard line,

853
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler uh fumbles it and the Falcons pick it

854
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 1: up and start running down the sideline, one of the

855
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:27,760
Speaker 1: plays of the year, and Heckler gets up field, gets inside,

856
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 1: the ball comes out, well comes out the Falcons having

857
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 1: up the right sideline, and that ball comes out again

858
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 1: and the back fumbles. We gotta see if Heckler was

859
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 1: down que up the Yakety sacks money loves it, so Greg,

860
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 1: I think you tweeted this. It was like chargering verse

861
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 1: falcon ng and no one lived right the take on

862
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:55,320
Speaker 1: Graham fumble. He shouldn't be blamed for it. The defensive

863
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 1: woman who picked up the ball, But it was so

864
00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:00,400
Speaker 1: sad because he wasn't touched. It wasn't like he was tackle.

865
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 1: He was just a big man running with the ball,

866
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: and eventually the ball came out. I love when fumble

867
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:09,440
Speaker 1: recovery guy fumbles. It's a rarity and it's it's enjoyable.

868
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 1: So it happens a lot, actually a lot half the time.

869
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 1: The guy who picks it up fumbles getting maybe getting

870
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:18,400
Speaker 1: a little greedy there, But he wasn't. He was just running.

871
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:20,400
Speaker 1: He was just running and the ball came out for

872
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 1: no particular reason. And it's not used to it. I mean,

873
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:24,919
Speaker 1: if you if you have if you've self scouted yourself

874
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:26,800
Speaker 1: enough to know that if I'm running and untouched, I

875
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 1: might just drop the ball, then you then you avoid that.

876
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:32,799
Speaker 1: I'd say credit to uh Herbert, though, who basically had

877
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:35,360
Speaker 1: to pull off two game winning drives on the same drive.

878
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:37,800
Speaker 1: Like Derwin James said, oh I knew they were resetting

879
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:40,400
Speaker 1: downs because I play Madden. Uh, you know, because the

880
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 1: ball changed possession, so the Chargers then get a first

881
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:45,320
Speaker 1: down at the forty six, gotta get back in field

882
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 1: goal range and with only thirty seconds left, and Herbert

883
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 1: has like just a seed over the middle to Joshua Palmer.

884
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:54,399
Speaker 1: Any game you can survive without Keenan Allen and Mike

885
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 1: Williams is a good One't you making a face on

886
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:58,479
Speaker 1: the seed? I'm just saying, no, no, no, I'm just reading.

887
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:02,560
Speaker 1: There's a standalone sentence paragraph in the ap Gamer that reads,

888
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:06,280
Speaker 1: teammates lifted dicker on their shoulders following the game winner.

889
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 1: It's just funny. I know. It's a good sentence. They

890
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:13,360
Speaker 1: survived in advance. You know who's funny? Also Jonathan Vilma,

891
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 1: who I like. He's one of the fox dudes. And

892
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:18,759
Speaker 1: he's a little rough around the edges as a broadcaster,

893
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 1: which is one of the reasons I like him. Um,

894
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:22,880
Speaker 1: And he'll say things where you'll kind of do like

895
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:24,960
Speaker 1: a double take, like, oh, you don't usually hear that

896
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:27,840
Speaker 1: emmining out of a a booth in a professional setting.

897
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:33,359
Speaker 1: Let's listening to this. After a particularly vicious Quardurell Patterson run,

898
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 1: he had two touchdowns in his return by the way,

899
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 1: port Darryl Patterson, it's a grown man, Kenny. I am

900
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:42,279
Speaker 1: so glad I don't play cootballing though I don't want

901
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:44,880
Speaker 1: any part of that. Who just ran over a linebacker

902
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:49,320
Speaker 1: like that? Jesus Christ. It's like, you know what, every

903
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 1: week Kenny Albert has to ask him like are you

904
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 1: allowed to say that on television? Because they've s been

905
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 1: like three or four of these moments. I felt that

906
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:58,919
Speaker 1: way drop by the way, Yeah, I felt that way.

907
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:01,879
Speaker 1: That was he stole that man soul. It was Drew

908
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:07,040
Speaker 1: Trequil who had it was? It was vicious. It was vicious,

909
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:09,920
Speaker 1: your boy Tyler aul Year by the way, forty four

910
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 1: yard run, ninety nine yards on the ground. Um, so

911
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 1: he's playing really. I do feel like you know when

912
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:22,880
Speaker 1: I pinpointed him and was giggled at by Greg a

913
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:26,120
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. Um, that once again another fine

914
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:28,399
Speaker 1: performance by the young player. That's why I have seen

915
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:31,920
Speaker 1: a week is ticked off the clock in terms of processing.

916
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:35,240
Speaker 1: So now we're down to like six weeks and everything

917
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 1: every you know, just in time for the wild card appearance.

918
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 1: Speaking of processing, I do want Marcus Mariota to speed

919
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 1: things up a little bit here sometimes when he does

920
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 1: go back to pass and u and make a play.

921
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 1: In terms of when they're improvising, did they they passed

922
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 1: too much in this game, which I didn't think I

923
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:55,560
Speaker 1: would say about them, especially in the second half. They

924
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:57,759
Speaker 1: were passing too much on second and third downs when

925
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:00,200
Speaker 1: they could have just run the ball. And Mariota is

926
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:03,040
Speaker 1: just not an accurate quarterback at all. And like when

927
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:05,440
Speaker 1: he's trying to make a play out of nowhere, they

928
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 1: never make a play well, like ty Kyle Pitts seven targets,

929
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 1: two catches and there was one they had shots were

930
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:16,359
Speaker 1: like Mariota just was so off target. Everyone is under

931
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 1: five hundred in the NFC South again now that Atlanta

932
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:22,800
Speaker 1: bad Division, Bad bad Division. Everybody is over five hundred

933
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 1: in the a f C East, now by the way,

934
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:28,319
Speaker 1: great Division. We'll get to the Pigs in a little bit. Uh.

935
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:30,240
Speaker 1: You know who else thought they had a win today?

936
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 1: The Raiders. But they did and they snapping quickly. He

937
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 1: picked into the right inside the five. Puts down what

938
00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 1: puts down? Run by Trivasy Tan Jacksonville has taken the

939
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:50,720
Speaker 1: league right. There is a major candidate in the comeback

940
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:53,520
Speaker 1: Player of the Year race Travis Aten, who's becoming a

941
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:55,799
Speaker 1: star for the Jaguars. He ran for a hundred nine

942
00:49:55,840 --> 00:50:00,360
Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns, just spiting the vicious s Orpian

943
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 1: woman Liz Frank. Revor Lawrence also played very well, bouncing

944
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:10,319
Speaker 1: back from some down efforts, and Jacksonville wins a close game.

945
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:18,919
Speaker 1: That's nice over the Raiders. However, Greggy, that doesn't tell

946
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:21,759
Speaker 1: the whole story here. At one point this thing looked

947
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 1: like it was in the bag for the Silver and Black.

948
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 1: Those are their colors, by the way. No, yeah, it

949
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:29,640
Speaker 1: was seventeen nothing and I wanted to start positive. We

950
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 1: will get to positive Jaguars talk, but you lead me here,

951
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:35,880
Speaker 1: and so I might as well go seventeen nothing. In

952
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:38,279
Speaker 1: the first half of this game, Derek Carr played a

953
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:42,680
Speaker 1: perfect first half. Essentially, Davante Adams had nine catches uh

954
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 1: I think, for over a hundred and thirty yards in

955
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:47,439
Speaker 1: the first half alone, or a hundred forty six yards

956
00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 1: in the first half alone, throwing two Davante Adams. In

957
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:55,240
Speaker 1: the second half, Derek Carr was one for eight throwing

958
00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 1: overall in the second half, Derek Carr was six for

959
00:50:57,719 --> 00:51:01,480
Speaker 1: sixteen for thirty three yards. They actually got the ball

960
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:05,480
Speaker 1: four separate times after that ETN touchdown with the chance

961
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 1: to take the lead, and they didn't do it anytime.

962
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:10,840
Speaker 1: It was really the Jaguars defense that ended up closing

963
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:14,279
Speaker 1: this game out. The Jaguars offense, per usual, kind of

964
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:17,000
Speaker 1: didn't quite finish it off, even though they did a

965
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:19,960
Speaker 1: much better job overall. You can't kill them when they

966
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:22,680
Speaker 1: came back from seventeen nothing. But there's just something about

967
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 1: this Raiders team that they've got like a loser's mentality.

968
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:29,239
Speaker 1: Well it's there's an incredible stat out there. They are

969
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 1: fifty three and five since the year two thousand when

970
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:35,399
Speaker 1: they've been leading by seventeen or more points in a game.

971
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,480
Speaker 1: Of those five losses, three of them have come this

972
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:43,120
Speaker 1: season under Josh McDaniels. It's even great. It was like

973
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:46,960
Speaker 1: they had lost three games up seventeen and their last

974
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:50,400
Speaker 1: six and eight games, and they have three this season.

975
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 1: The Raiders have already given up as many seventeen point

976
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:56,120
Speaker 1: loss games, I mean, leads as any team in the

977
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:58,520
Speaker 1: history of the NFL. They've like tied the worst, and

978
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:01,279
Speaker 1: they've now got seven games to break that record. Mark.

979
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:10,240
Speaker 1: Davis is not al Davis at all. However, I wonder

980
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:14,040
Speaker 1: if there's some serious buyers remorse right now, um, after

981
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:17,120
Speaker 1: this just a horrendous season the Raiders are having and

982
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:20,640
Speaker 1: this remember rewind back to the end of August. This

983
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:23,759
Speaker 1: was not what anyone was expecting. And in fact, there

984
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 1: were some people that thought that they could win the

985
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:27,319
Speaker 1: a f C West or at least give the Chiefs

986
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:29,840
Speaker 1: a real run for their money. So for them to

987
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 1: be buried now at two and six and almost dead

988
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 1: before we even sniff Thanksgiving is stunning. Let's hear Derek Carr,

989
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 1: by the way, who um was biting his tongue to

990
00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:42,919
Speaker 1: say the least when asked about what has gone wrong

991
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:50,400
Speaker 1: with this team? Third time any similar similar feeling everything

992
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:57,840
Speaker 1: should look back on. You know, I think there's a

993
00:52:57,880 --> 00:53:01,320
Speaker 1: lot I want to say, you know, but if I'm honest,

994
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 1: I don't need to say it here, you know, Um,

995
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:07,160
Speaker 1: you know, And there's things that that will be said.

996
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:10,319
Speaker 1: There are things that need to be addressed in all

997
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 1: those things. But I think for as a whole of

998
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:16,400
Speaker 1: the urgency part of it that after thirty minutes of football,

999
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:18,839
Speaker 1: we have to learn that the game is not over.

1000
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:23,880
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, though, he he was was an accent

1001
00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:27,560
Speaker 1: right there. This is the accent. I don't know. It's

1002
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:30,160
Speaker 1: like this like weird sort of a stew of accing

1003
00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:35,759
Speaker 1: that like gets more dominant as he continues Fresno. Maybe

1004
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 1: there's like an accent in Fresno. And then he went

1005
00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:40,160
Speaker 1: to uh. I think he lived in Texas for a

1006
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:42,880
Speaker 1: big tech chunk of his life. Sounds like Jerry Jones

1007
00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:46,640
Speaker 1: brother Keetis who never left Oklahoma. Like, I love that quarterback.

1008
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:49,640
Speaker 1: I'm glad we heard that because you know, I I

1009
00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:52,320
Speaker 1: think he has to be self reflective because the comeback

1010
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:55,320
Speaker 1: started in the first half when Carr had an open

1011
00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:58,719
Speaker 1: a mirror Abdullah for a touchdown and totally underthrew it

1012
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:01,279
Speaker 1: and that led to three points stead of seven, and

1013
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:04,120
Speaker 1: car missed a ton of throws in the second half.

1014
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:07,759
Speaker 1: There was some miscommunications, but the game ended with him

1015
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:10,640
Speaker 1: not giving Davante Adam Adams a chance to make a

1016
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:15,080
Speaker 1: catch on the back shoulder throw and then he's too

1017
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 1: hot for Hunter Renfro throwing it like really hot and

1018
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:21,200
Speaker 1: and too hard and high on fourth down, and that's

1019
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:23,680
Speaker 1: how the game ended. Like it was a it was

1020
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:26,640
Speaker 1: a rough second half, but I give the Jaguars credit

1021
00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 1: who sent a lot of blitz is his way, who

1022
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:30,799
Speaker 1: did create a lot of pressure. I got. I've been

1023
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:32,879
Speaker 1: getting on their defense, and their defense had a nice

1024
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:36,600
Speaker 1: day and Lawrence had I think We've said this a

1025
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:38,120
Speaker 1: few times this year, but I really do think this

1026
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:40,120
Speaker 1: was the best game of his career. It couldn't have

1027
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:43,239
Speaker 1: been any cleaner, like Next Chance that's had it as

1028
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:47,640
Speaker 1: the highest success rate for drop back passing since my

1029
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:50,080
Speaker 1: Homes game last year, which that was surprising to me,

1030
00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:52,960
Speaker 1: but it makes sense because basically every time they dropped

1031
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:54,960
Speaker 1: back to pass they picked up seven or eight yards.

1032
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:57,360
Speaker 1: And like he made no mistakes, there was nothing flashy,

1033
00:54:57,480 --> 00:54:59,239
Speaker 1: but he also ran for fifty three yards. That was

1034
00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:01,880
Speaker 1: key to come back. He played well. The one thing

1035
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:03,960
Speaker 1: that I think is really concerning for the Raiders too,

1036
00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:05,560
Speaker 1: is I started to get on board a couple of

1037
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:07,560
Speaker 1: weeks ago, thinking the way they're running the ball, this

1038
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:10,360
Speaker 1: can be their identity. Thirty eight yards last week in

1039
00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:13,200
Speaker 1: an absolute no show twenty four nothing lost to the Saints,

1040
00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:16,600
Speaker 1: seventies something. Today against the defense, you can run on right.

1041
00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:19,480
Speaker 1: They they're bad with the lead. I think because other

1042
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:21,319
Speaker 1: teams they should be able to run with the lead.

1043
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:23,400
Speaker 1: But they're bad because then other teams just start throwing

1044
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:25,560
Speaker 1: every down and that's great against the Raiders because they

1045
00:55:25,640 --> 00:55:28,520
Speaker 1: just can't cover anyone, especially over the middle of the field.

1046
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:31,359
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk it wasn't flashy eight for seventies and one,

1047
00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:33,800
Speaker 1: but he was awesome his route running, in the quality

1048
00:55:33,840 --> 00:55:36,279
Speaker 1: of his catches he made him and Lawrence of good

1049
00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:42,440
Speaker 1: chemistry all year. Doubt is a disease, and the Raiders

1050
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 1: have it comes to closing these games. Um, let's take

1051
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 1: a break and we'll continue on Welcome back. Let's now

1052
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:55,320
Speaker 1: move to Foxborough, the site of the Lockies lock that

1053
00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 1: there was ever a lock of it was Lockyer picture Staff.

1054
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:01,880
Speaker 1: He's in the end zone. He's pressured to throw a

1055
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:05,160
Speaker 1: cross and picked off by Jonathan Jones. Runs down an

1056
00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:09,640
Speaker 1: attack of right zone. What a day for the Patriots.

1057
00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:14,520
Speaker 1: Partner back, but you roll Bosaw the pill there it's

1058
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:18,840
Speaker 1: an under Dave crosser. Bulk gets tipped, chowes to the

1059
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:21,520
Speaker 1: perfect spot, goes down to the knee, picks it up,

1060
00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:25,000
Speaker 1: gets the lead. Park text it in far pick six

1061
00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:29,839
Speaker 1: is that I don't think I've ever heard Zolac give

1062
00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:36,040
Speaker 1: analysis like that. No, that was later in depth and

1063
00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:38,399
Speaker 1: there's more of a retelling of the play. But even

1064
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:44,480
Speaker 1: even then, yes for him though inaudible, like yelps and

1065
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:48,399
Speaker 1: screams in between, like you know, chugging a beer too.

1066
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:51,520
Speaker 1: I would assume I don't know that for sure. Bob

1067
00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:55,719
Speaker 1: Sochi and Powerade with a call for w b's Matt

1068
00:56:55,840 --> 00:57:01,600
Speaker 1: Judean and Josh ch combined for six of nine Patriots sacks.

1069
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:05,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if Matt Older is a guy in

1070
00:57:05,719 --> 00:57:10,160
Speaker 1: the New England. Patriots beat up on the Colts to three.

1071
00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:13,120
Speaker 1: The Pats are five and four, moving above five hundred

1072
00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:16,280
Speaker 1: for the first time this season as they reach there

1073
00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:19,040
Speaker 1: by week, followed by that big showdown against the Jets.

1074
00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:22,920
Speaker 1: Mark um I said, this is the lockiest lock game

1075
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:27,360
Speaker 1: ever because me, you, Grave Digger, and the westling uh

1076
00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:31,240
Speaker 1: Zoo all locked it up and it kind of went

1077
00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:33,640
Speaker 1: exactly how we predicted. It looks like, yeah, I did,

1078
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:37,880
Speaker 1: I just I yeah, keep it going. I had to

1079
00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:39,400
Speaker 1: play it three times for three locks. I did not

1080
00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:41,600
Speaker 1: lock them up. Also, you said, Matt Ellinger, it's Sam.

1081
00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:45,240
Speaker 1: That's okay, Horns. These guys love to these guys love

1082
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:48,000
Speaker 1: to put us on the spot here with these names.

1083
00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:50,480
Speaker 1: Um who knows I would have come around and corrected myself,

1084
00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:54,439
Speaker 1: but then Justin chose once again to sandbag the host

1085
00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:58,480
Speaker 1: of the show and learned my lesson from lesson. Well,

1086
00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:02,200
Speaker 1: I didn't like jump in immediately. You could let it go,

1087
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:05,280
Speaker 1: thank you. It was still a slimy procedure by you.

1088
00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:11,800
Speaker 1: Sorry brand by the best Man Ellinger, that would be

1089
00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:15,120
Speaker 1: a funny nick name, like just a very sarcastic the

1090
00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 1: best Man. We did a great job, very well. It

1091
00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:22,760
Speaker 1: went well. I told the joke that everyone on the

1092
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:24,800
Speaker 1: Friday Fund Show told me not to tell with a

1093
00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:29,280
Speaker 1: lot better delivery, and the entire place erupted in la,

1094
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:32,200
Speaker 1: Why did why did it work better? Do you think

1095
00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:35,200
Speaker 1: it was Kansas funny? Yeah, it's like middle of the country.

1096
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:38,680
Speaker 1: But also the joke had been a running bit throughout

1097
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:40,840
Speaker 1: like the whole day, so it was like a nice

1098
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:46,080
Speaker 1: so original too. You know what what did you mean

1099
00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:50,560
Speaker 1: by Kansas funny? There? Um No, I just think different values,

1100
00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:53,800
Speaker 1: different sense of humor. Uh, probably more in line and

1101
00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:57,920
Speaker 1: like CBS said, come yeah, things like that. Plus, you're

1102
00:58:57,960 --> 00:59:00,160
Speaker 1: rooting for someone at a wedding, should say any thing

1103
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:02,120
Speaker 1: kind of light and then everyone's gonna over. I'm not

1104
00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:04,400
Speaker 1: saying that this was over celebrated. It certainly feels that

1105
00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:06,600
Speaker 1: way to me. But common man rings just taking a

1106
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:09,080
Speaker 1: little that's fine. I think there's probably a lot of

1107
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:12,240
Speaker 1: people in Kansas also with a very cerebral sense of

1108
00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:16,880
Speaker 1: humor that like shows like Arrested Development and absolutely those

1109
00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:20,320
Speaker 1: type of absolutely shows. I'm just saying this crowd in

1110
00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:24,880
Speaker 1: particular seemed to it's a multifaceted community. I mean, it erupted.

1111
00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:26,600
Speaker 1: He made it sound like it was. They were also

1112
00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:29,840
Speaker 1: like Chris Rock and Madison Square guards who were willing

1113
00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:34,320
Speaker 1: and ready to laugh at anything. And you can see

1114
00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:36,280
Speaker 1: that grave digger by the way that you can understand

1115
00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:38,280
Speaker 1: the environment that you were that you were successful in

1116
00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:41,240
Speaker 1: from a comedic angle. Absolutely right after I was so

1117
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:44,760
Speaker 1: unsuccessful on Friday, I understand why it was a different

1118
00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:49,320
Speaker 1: situation right right now? Was it for cults? Patriots? Go ahead? Well,

1119
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:52,000
Speaker 1: I just think Matt Ryan was in a bad position.

1120
00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:55,240
Speaker 1: Sam Elinger is in a bad position. You're paying You're

1121
00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:58,560
Speaker 1: you're playing behind the most expensive offensive line in the

1122
00:59:58,680 --> 01:00:00,760
Speaker 1: NFL right now, And it's just the shock how far

1123
01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:03,479
Speaker 1: they've regressed. We've been seeing it all year. They opened

1124
01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:05,680
Speaker 1: the game with six punts, including the block punt that

1125
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:08,480
Speaker 1: basically ended the game, because all the Pats needed to

1126
01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:10,600
Speaker 1: do in this was like put up thirteen points. And

1127
01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:13,040
Speaker 1: to your point, it's about the lockiest lock of all time.

1128
01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:16,280
Speaker 1: The Cults were oh and fourteen on third down. That's

1129
01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:19,200
Speaker 1: kind of hard to do. Almost at the NFL record

1130
01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:24,320
Speaker 1: was the NFL record. That's the only thing they achieved

1131
01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:27,640
Speaker 1: was not setting the record. There's Ellinger at forty three

1132
01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:31,680
Speaker 1: net yards passing because he had sixty yards lost on

1133
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 1: these nine sacks. I mean just there was not a

1134
01:00:34,280 --> 01:00:36,480
Speaker 1: single drive where it really looked like he had a

1135
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:38,680
Speaker 1: chance or they had a chance. There was no Jonathan Taylor.

1136
01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:41,120
Speaker 1: I mean, they were in a tough spot against the

1137
01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:43,320
Speaker 1: kind of in the kind of game that Bill Belichick

1138
01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:46,120
Speaker 1: sits around dreaming of having to deal with an Ellinger

1139
01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:48,720
Speaker 1: not deal with he had to deal with Belichick and reverse. Um.

1140
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:50,640
Speaker 1: It was a blood bath and I'm not that impressed.

1141
01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:53,080
Speaker 1: The only reason I thought the game was a little

1142
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:55,680
Speaker 1: questionable for our lock early on was that the Pats

1143
01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:59,440
Speaker 1: offensively are a paint by numbers. Um I sare and

1144
01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:02,480
Speaker 1: Mac Jones just looks to me continually, it looks uncomfortable

1145
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:06,080
Speaker 1: and Ramandre Stevenson is running the ball really well, and

1146
01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:07,640
Speaker 1: he has been for a while now, and he was

1147
01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:10,080
Speaker 1: sort of all they had with no Damian Harris. But

1148
01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:13,120
Speaker 1: they grew stronger as the game went on, but not

1149
01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:16,000
Speaker 1: so much their offense. And because the I think guys

1150
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:19,200
Speaker 1: like the Forrest Buckner and the Cults offensive line handle

1151
01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:22,360
Speaker 1: the Pats Colts defensive line handle the Pats front five

1152
01:01:22,440 --> 01:01:24,640
Speaker 1: that were missing guys, and it did. It was. It

1153
01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:26,920
Speaker 1: was a tough watch. It was. It was a rough

1154
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:30,280
Speaker 1: and tumble rot watch that like cool if you're the Patriots,

1155
01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:33,520
Speaker 1: nice win. I wouldn't float around town bragging about it

1156
01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:38,240
Speaker 1: all week long, right They they average three point defense though,

1157
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:40,440
Speaker 1: like the Patriots average three yards for three point three

1158
01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:42,640
Speaker 1: yards per play, which would be you know, one of

1159
01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:47,200
Speaker 1: if it was. It felt like it was six and

1160
01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:49,400
Speaker 1: a half hours long. There was a total of nineteen

1161
01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:51,800
Speaker 1: first downs in this game. The Colts only average two

1162
01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:55,520
Speaker 1: yards per play. It's crazy to me that the Patriots

1163
01:01:55,600 --> 01:01:59,320
Speaker 1: are five and four and they really have shown an

1164
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:06,400
Speaker 1: ability too steam roll and smother bad or limited quarterbacks.

1165
01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:08,600
Speaker 1: They don't have a ton of them, right, They don't

1166
01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:10,200
Speaker 1: have a ton of them left on the schedule. But

1167
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:14,400
Speaker 1: they do have Zack Wilson after the bye. Because if

1168
01:02:14,480 --> 01:02:19,160
Speaker 1: this Patriots team even had the one Patriots passing offense,

1169
01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:22,720
Speaker 1: you would say this is a very spicy team that

1170
01:02:22,800 --> 01:02:25,920
Speaker 1: could make some noise in the playoffs. They aren't that

1171
01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:29,800
Speaker 1: team five and four, they're probably seven wins. I Uh.

1172
01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:32,440
Speaker 1: I give Matthew jude On a lot of love. Though

1173
01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:35,240
Speaker 1: they don't make a lot of big free agent splashes.

1174
01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:38,000
Speaker 1: Uh And I guess they have more than they've been

1175
01:02:38,040 --> 01:02:40,280
Speaker 1: given credit for over the years. But when they signed him,

1176
01:02:40,280 --> 01:02:42,160
Speaker 1: that was a surprising move. Was surprising that the Ravens

1177
01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:44,160
Speaker 1: let him go, and he went from having a great

1178
01:02:44,240 --> 01:02:47,320
Speaker 1: year a year ago to an even greater year this year.

1179
01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:50,960
Speaker 1: I mean, he is having an outrageous all pro type

1180
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:54,680
Speaker 1: of season, and despite their personnel looking terrible on paper

1181
01:02:54,720 --> 01:02:56,560
Speaker 1: coming into the year, overall, I mean, they're like a

1182
01:02:56,640 --> 01:03:00,720
Speaker 1: top five points allowed defense. Now, he's my guy. You

1183
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:02,120
Speaker 1: got on him a little bit at the end of

1184
01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:04,520
Speaker 1: last year, but he was hurt. I think he's one

1185
01:03:04,560 --> 01:03:07,400
Speaker 1: of your guys. He was at the beginning of last year.

1186
01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:11,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I've always liked I've always liked. Okay, okay,

1187
01:03:11,720 --> 01:03:14,560
Speaker 1: that's good. They get a week off they can enjoy.

1188
01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:16,560
Speaker 1: Justin why did he go to you two or something

1189
01:03:16,560 --> 01:03:19,440
Speaker 1: while you're throwing your arms up. No, nothing, I'm being

1190
01:03:19,480 --> 01:03:23,920
Speaker 1: a professional. Keep a podcasting the tight ends. Have you

1191
01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:27,480
Speaker 1: paid attention to to any of this? And do you

1192
01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:31,200
Speaker 1: feel ashamed that Sam Ellinger went to your college at

1193
01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:34,200
Speaker 1: this point? No, we're doing this again. Sam Ellinger's last

1194
01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:37,080
Speaker 1: year at UT he had no past diortunity and I

1195
01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:38,880
Speaker 1: expected him to look bad for the Colts, and he's

1196
01:03:38,880 --> 01:03:44,480
Speaker 1: looked pretty bad. So by the way, Colts to finish

1197
01:03:44,520 --> 01:03:48,160
Speaker 1: fourth in the ANFC South, not that looking that bad anymore. Jonathan,

1198
01:03:48,600 --> 01:03:51,360
Speaker 1: They're still there. Jonathan Jones had a spicy blocked punt

1199
01:03:51,400 --> 01:03:54,680
Speaker 1: in this and then the interception at the end. I

1200
01:03:54,760 --> 01:03:57,400
Speaker 1: mean he had a great yard. Their defense. I like

1201
01:03:57,480 --> 01:03:59,840
Speaker 1: when I say, don't float around town bragging about the wind.

1202
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:03,040
Speaker 1: The defense ken one half of the team game. The

1203
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:05,240
Speaker 1: other half must stay home during the bye week and

1204
01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:10,360
Speaker 1: reflect quietly. Another team that's reflecting right now the Panthers,

1205
01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:15,479
Speaker 1: because they got whooped in Cincinnati. Brow takes the snap,

1206
01:04:15,560 --> 01:04:18,080
Speaker 1: gives the Nixon bouncing out wide to the left penalty

1207
01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:21,880
Speaker 1: at the ten five into the end zone for what

1208
01:04:22,160 --> 01:04:28,920
Speaker 1: could be his fifth touchdown off side defense. About how

1209
01:04:28,960 --> 01:04:34,160
Speaker 1: about that a fifteen yard one for Joe Mixon, who

1210
01:04:34,240 --> 01:04:38,000
Speaker 1: has just set the single the Bengal single game record

1211
01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:41,400
Speaker 1: with five touchdowns in a game, and we still have

1212
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:45,640
Speaker 1: nearly twenty minutes to play and he didn't even score

1213
01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:51,000
Speaker 1: a single touchdown after that, slacker, five touchdowns for Joe Nixon,

1214
01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:54,560
Speaker 1: they don't all. Land Mark looked at me like an

1215
01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:56,160
Speaker 1: an elbow grown out of my poor No. I like

1216
01:04:56,240 --> 01:04:58,280
Speaker 1: what you did there? You gave me a very solemn

1217
01:04:58,360 --> 01:05:00,560
Speaker 1: like I was just my mind was on something. Are

1218
01:05:00,560 --> 01:05:03,400
Speaker 1: you watching the Titans Chiefs game? Also, just if you're

1219
01:05:03,440 --> 01:05:06,000
Speaker 1: someone listening at home, there is a like a seventy

1220
01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:09,320
Speaker 1: television have to go full dad and say no more television.

1221
01:05:09,400 --> 01:05:11,800
Speaker 1: In the studio, I was trying to do two things

1222
01:05:11,800 --> 01:05:14,040
Speaker 1: at once because I'm in front of the TV, so

1223
01:05:14,120 --> 01:05:16,800
Speaker 1: I can't see it. But I'm starting to worry that

1224
01:05:17,360 --> 01:05:19,640
Speaker 1: first the producer and now one of the co hosts

1225
01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:24,080
Speaker 1: maybe aren't paying attention to the podcast anymore during the taping.

1226
01:05:24,280 --> 01:05:28,800
Speaker 1: Your joke was brilliant when I came around to recording it.

1227
01:05:29,040 --> 01:05:32,800
Speaker 1: In my mind anyway, Joe makes pressure under in fifty

1228
01:05:32,840 --> 01:05:35,880
Speaker 1: three yards and yes, five touchdowns, four on the ground,

1229
01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:38,960
Speaker 1: one through the air. Bengals jumped out ahead thirty five

1230
01:05:39,080 --> 01:05:42,680
Speaker 1: zip in this game, basically telling Greg Rostal, by the way,

1231
01:05:43,160 --> 01:05:45,840
Speaker 1: hit the break on all your criticisms of our offense

1232
01:05:45,880 --> 01:05:49,360
Speaker 1: and our offensive line, because we could do this was

1233
01:05:49,440 --> 01:05:52,200
Speaker 1: the final which doesn't even begin to tell those three

1234
01:05:52,360 --> 01:05:55,560
Speaker 1: garbage time touchdowns led by Baker Mayfield. By the way,

1235
01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:59,760
Speaker 1: um Mark, what did you see in this game? Why

1236
01:05:59,880 --> 01:06:02,960
Speaker 1: was it's so easy for Cincinnati? It's so hard for

1237
01:06:03,040 --> 01:06:06,000
Speaker 1: p J Walker, who was history by halftime. I think

1238
01:06:06,040 --> 01:06:08,520
Speaker 1: we talked about week after week that where is the

1239
01:06:08,600 --> 01:06:11,320
Speaker 1: ground game from a year ago and the balance that

1240
01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:15,280
Speaker 1: it brings to an offense missing chase, and it came.

1241
01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:18,040
Speaker 1: It just came in waves today and mixing looked like

1242
01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:23,160
Speaker 1: last year's mixing. It was. It was absolute domination at halftime,

1243
01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:25,760
Speaker 1: because I don't really account anything that happened after halftime

1244
01:06:25,800 --> 01:06:28,240
Speaker 1: in this game. It was just like ultra garbage time.

1245
01:06:28,840 --> 01:06:32,960
Speaker 1: Three eleven yards to thirty two, twenty one first downs

1246
01:06:33,080 --> 01:06:36,920
Speaker 1: to one first down for the floating Panthers, twenty one

1247
01:06:36,920 --> 01:06:38,720
Speaker 1: plus minutes of time possession. So a lot of what

1248
01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:43,040
Speaker 1: happened was the Carolina offense totally breaking down and unable

1249
01:06:43,080 --> 01:06:46,880
Speaker 1: to sustain anything. P J. Walker was yanked at halftime

1250
01:06:47,280 --> 01:06:50,080
Speaker 1: for Baker Mayfield because he was three for ten for

1251
01:06:50,240 --> 01:06:52,480
Speaker 1: nine yards with two bad interceptions. So you're saying it

1252
01:06:52,560 --> 01:06:56,520
Speaker 1: wasn't a good fantasy spots start in my two QB league. Yeah,

1253
01:06:56,560 --> 01:07:00,160
Speaker 1: I am saying that. I'm sure you figured that out

1254
01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:02,880
Speaker 1: before I confirmed that for you. But if this is

1255
01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:05,040
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know, because it's like what was

1256
01:07:05,120 --> 01:07:07,000
Speaker 1: going on Monday night and then you're this, It's like,

1257
01:07:07,040 --> 01:07:09,400
Speaker 1: are you that sort of all over the map as

1258
01:07:09,440 --> 01:07:12,400
Speaker 1: a as a Bengals team. But if if there's anything

1259
01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:14,000
Speaker 1: to take forward, if they can do this on the

1260
01:07:14,080 --> 01:07:17,360
Speaker 1: ground and be this balanced, it changes everything. It changes

1261
01:07:17,400 --> 01:07:19,280
Speaker 1: the way that a defense is going to deal with

1262
01:07:19,360 --> 01:07:21,960
Speaker 1: the Bengals. Today it's showed up and it just like

1263
01:07:22,040 --> 01:07:24,680
Speaker 1: kind of reminded me of when they started to turn

1264
01:07:24,840 --> 01:07:27,400
Speaker 1: the corner a year ago. It looked like that team.

1265
01:07:27,920 --> 01:07:31,240
Speaker 1: They're high level games this year and really there's been

1266
01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:33,480
Speaker 1: a few, but two in the last three weeks against

1267
01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:37,479
Speaker 1: lackluster opponents are as high level offense as we've seen

1268
01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:40,240
Speaker 1: in the NFL this year, and it gives you some hope,

1269
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:43,400
Speaker 1: especially with the buy and the schedules reasonable that they

1270
01:07:43,440 --> 01:07:46,320
Speaker 1: can survive. Because the a f C is deeper, it's

1271
01:07:46,360 --> 01:07:48,560
Speaker 1: gonna be tougher to make the playoffs in the a

1272
01:07:48,680 --> 01:07:50,720
Speaker 1: f C. We'll see if the Ravens win on Monday night,

1273
01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:52,160
Speaker 1: but you know it's gonna be tough to win that

1274
01:07:52,240 --> 01:07:55,760
Speaker 1: Division two. It's huge to win as many games as

1275
01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:58,280
Speaker 1: you can until Chase gets back. Yeah, and that, and

1276
01:07:58,320 --> 01:08:01,280
Speaker 1: you're right, they're hitting their by now. So you've survived

1277
01:08:01,880 --> 01:08:04,440
Speaker 1: two weeks without Chase. You have a win and a loss.

1278
01:08:04,920 --> 01:08:06,840
Speaker 1: The I mean the Cleveland game on Monday. I don't

1279
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:08,920
Speaker 1: want to call it an aberration because that was but

1280
01:08:09,040 --> 01:08:11,200
Speaker 1: maybe it was though. It's these division games. Just take

1281
01:08:11,280 --> 01:08:14,320
Speaker 1: on an island game on the road against the rival

1282
01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:16,560
Speaker 1: that kind of owns you. Uh. It was not a

1283
01:08:16,600 --> 01:08:19,280
Speaker 1: good look. But at the same time, every team has stinkers,

1284
01:08:19,760 --> 01:08:22,400
Speaker 1: uh now and again, So I'm willing to I was

1285
01:08:22,439 --> 01:08:25,120
Speaker 1: willing to be open minded about how they would recover

1286
01:08:25,240 --> 01:08:28,000
Speaker 1: from that. And I know the Panthers stink, but they

1287
01:08:28,040 --> 01:08:31,320
Speaker 1: also were very competitive the week before and a near

1288
01:08:31,400 --> 01:08:34,400
Speaker 1: win over before that. They couldn't get over they they

1289
01:08:34,560 --> 01:08:37,200
Speaker 1: recorded the greatest play in the history of the NFL,

1290
01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:40,120
Speaker 1: Dan and I wasn't recovered from it on a Thursday.

1291
01:08:41,520 --> 01:08:43,640
Speaker 1: Weren't either. That ended up being like the end of

1292
01:08:43,720 --> 01:08:48,080
Speaker 1: his start going through P J. Walker's head. While he's

1293
01:08:48,080 --> 01:08:51,280
Speaker 1: sitting in the locker room bench, he's saying, seven days ago,

1294
01:08:51,520 --> 01:08:54,439
Speaker 1: I made the greatest play in the history of the sport,

1295
01:08:54,960 --> 01:08:59,040
Speaker 1: and now my careers in tatters. What what the pinballing

1296
01:08:59,120 --> 01:09:01,400
Speaker 1: of the word? It's one of the reasons I love

1297
01:09:01,439 --> 01:09:03,880
Speaker 1: it so much. You do love the NFL. I've been

1298
01:09:04,120 --> 01:09:06,320
Speaker 1: I've been picking that. You know who else loves the NFL.

1299
01:09:06,680 --> 01:09:10,760
Speaker 1: I forgot to mention this, but during the Colts Patriots game,

1300
01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:14,200
Speaker 1: when it was still very low scoring, Mark Sessler was

1301
01:09:14,360 --> 01:09:19,759
Speaker 1: quoted saying, I love this game so much. Well about Patriots.

1302
01:09:19,760 --> 01:09:21,960
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why, because it was so Maybe this

1303
01:09:22,080 --> 01:09:25,240
Speaker 1: isn't get that out there. It's not everyone's, but it

1304
01:09:25,400 --> 01:09:27,800
Speaker 1: feels good to football when it's so When a game

1305
01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:29,400
Speaker 1: is so bad and I could tell it was going

1306
01:09:29,439 --> 01:09:31,640
Speaker 1: to be so bad, it's like I start to love it.

1307
01:09:32,479 --> 01:09:34,320
Speaker 1: And at the same time, I love these blowouts and

1308
01:09:34,400 --> 01:09:40,360
Speaker 1: I was covering it was a great little perfect Mark

1309
01:09:40,439 --> 01:09:42,280
Speaker 1: likes it that his games are so bad that he

1310
01:09:42,320 --> 01:09:44,280
Speaker 1: doesn't have to watch his games and then he watches

1311
01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:47,320
Speaker 1: the other games. That's a weird it's a weirdo E game.

1312
01:09:47,800 --> 01:09:50,120
Speaker 1: It follows a path um. All right, let's take a

1313
01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:55,080
Speaker 1: break and we'll be right back. All right, it's time

1314
01:09:55,160 --> 01:09:58,719
Speaker 1: to check in on the late games and let's head

1315
01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:04,240
Speaker 1: to the desert where the Cardinals we're facing the surging Seahawks.

1316
01:10:04,640 --> 01:10:06,960
Speaker 1: Ken Walker has a hundred four yards on the day

1317
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:09,760
Speaker 1: on carries, first and goal from the five. He's gonna

1318
01:10:09,800 --> 01:10:11,960
Speaker 1: carry it again and he's gonna turn up field and

1319
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:13,600
Speaker 1: he's gonna try to spin out of a tack. He

1320
01:10:13,640 --> 01:10:16,120
Speaker 1: gets a push, does he get there? He done cut

1321
01:10:16,240 --> 01:10:21,439
Speaker 1: down Shawks and they just shoved him across the line

1322
01:10:21,479 --> 01:10:25,120
Speaker 1: to make you can't knock this kid off his seat.

1323
01:10:25,520 --> 01:10:28,880
Speaker 1: And he scores his second touchdown of the game and

1324
01:10:29,080 --> 01:10:33,240
Speaker 1: all but seals it. Steve are able to call k

1325
01:10:33,640 --> 01:10:38,960
Speaker 1: I r O. The Seahawks are at it again and

1326
01:10:39,080 --> 01:10:43,400
Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker a major reason why the rookie runs hard

1327
01:10:43,520 --> 01:10:46,639
Speaker 1: for buck O nine and two scores, including that clinter

1328
01:10:46,800 --> 01:10:52,120
Speaker 1: you heard. Their final score thirty one one Seahawks over Cardinals,

1329
01:10:52,280 --> 01:10:57,640
Speaker 1: the first place Seattle Seahawks. Greggy, another special day for you.

1330
01:10:57,880 --> 01:11:02,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you said, you're enjoying the football today. I've

1331
01:11:02,400 --> 01:11:05,960
Speaker 1: enjoyed this Seahawks team more than maybe anyone except for

1332
01:11:06,080 --> 01:11:08,280
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll. This has to be a fever dream. This

1333
01:11:08,439 --> 01:11:12,280
Speaker 1: is the team that he's dreamed of forever. There are

1334
01:11:12,280 --> 01:11:14,680
Speaker 1: people that have followed that team their entire long. I've

1335
01:11:14,680 --> 01:11:17,799
Speaker 1: been a lifelong fan the last eight weeks now nine weeks,

1336
01:11:17,920 --> 01:11:23,880
Speaker 1: and my enjoyment is right there. I don't really believe that,

1337
01:11:24,040 --> 01:11:26,479
Speaker 1: but I do believe that this is everything Pete Carroll's

1338
01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:29,719
Speaker 1: ever wanted out of a football team. Like young long

1339
01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:34,120
Speaker 1: range cornerbacks just breaking up plays in a pass rush

1340
01:11:34,240 --> 01:11:37,400
Speaker 1: full of like three and twenty pound men, Shelby Harris

1341
01:11:37,479 --> 01:11:40,400
Speaker 1: and Punaford. Nu also who's a little lighter, but he's

1342
01:11:40,439 --> 01:11:43,439
Speaker 1: getting in the mix in this game and harassing Murray.

1343
01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:45,840
Speaker 1: And they're so young, and they're so exciting. And you

1344
01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:48,679
Speaker 1: have a decision maker in Geno that, for the most

1345
01:11:48,800 --> 01:11:52,880
Speaker 1: part is making really great throws and good decisions. Had

1346
01:11:52,960 --> 01:11:54,920
Speaker 1: it up and down day today but ended up playing

1347
01:11:54,960 --> 01:11:57,240
Speaker 1: well at the end. But most importantly, you've got a

1348
01:11:57,360 --> 01:12:01,000
Speaker 1: running game that closes the ball game. Kenneth Walker came

1349
01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:04,120
Speaker 1: into this week leading the NFL and yards per carry

1350
01:12:04,400 --> 01:12:07,000
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, and it was another fourth quarter

1351
01:12:07,439 --> 01:12:10,680
Speaker 1: where the Seahawks just wore another team down. And this

1352
01:12:10,880 --> 01:12:14,080
Speaker 1: guy just makes you miss He's so creative when he runs.

1353
01:12:14,360 --> 01:12:15,960
Speaker 1: I don't know who he reminds me of. To me,

1354
01:12:16,080 --> 01:12:18,080
Speaker 1: he's like one of one. He's he's got a little

1355
01:12:18,080 --> 01:12:20,680
Speaker 1: bit of Levian Bell and him, but it's not Levian Bell.

1356
01:12:20,760 --> 01:12:22,280
Speaker 1: I know. He's like got the patient thing where he

1357
01:12:22,320 --> 01:12:25,120
Speaker 1: waits forever and sometimes he's looking for a big play

1358
01:12:25,240 --> 01:12:27,679
Speaker 1: and it costs him. That happened today once or twice.

1359
01:12:27,720 --> 01:12:30,680
Speaker 1: But my god, is he a talented back. And he

1360
01:12:31,040 --> 01:12:33,559
Speaker 1: closed this Cardinals team out no matter what they did

1361
01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:36,599
Speaker 1: on defense. Dream scenario for Pete Carrother because he does

1362
01:12:36,720 --> 01:12:39,080
Speaker 1: have a young dog that he could hand the ball

1363
01:12:39,160 --> 01:12:42,040
Speaker 1: off to. CA nine is his nickname? Is it? That's great.

1364
01:12:42,080 --> 01:12:44,479
Speaker 1: That's a perfect game, as long as he's not offended

1365
01:12:44,520 --> 01:12:47,280
Speaker 1: by it. Now it's his. He's got his own very

1366
01:12:47,400 --> 01:12:52,840
Speaker 1: professional website where you can get I'm just saying it's

1367
01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:55,920
Speaker 1: really well done to it. This is gonna sound like

1368
01:12:56,360 --> 01:12:59,720
Speaker 1: Dan's doing the Geno thing again. I'm not. It's more

1369
01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:03,760
Speaker 1: kind of like good for Gino because he's having such

1370
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:06,760
Speaker 1: a great season. That even it seems like he gets

1371
01:13:06,800 --> 01:13:08,680
Speaker 1: away with his mistakes for the most part. Two and

1372
01:13:08,760 --> 01:13:10,519
Speaker 1: he he threw a pick six in the game, didn't

1373
01:13:10,560 --> 01:13:14,000
Speaker 1: get away with that kind of screen, and had a

1374
01:13:14,160 --> 01:13:16,040
Speaker 1: couple of a couple of balls that probably should have

1375
01:13:16,040 --> 01:13:18,719
Speaker 1: been picked, including one that preceded his last touchdown pass.

1376
01:13:19,120 --> 01:13:22,400
Speaker 1: So it's just like, even when he's the old Geno,

1377
01:13:23,120 --> 01:13:26,280
Speaker 1: that's that's getting papered over by either good fortune or

1378
01:13:26,560 --> 01:13:28,360
Speaker 1: him making up for it later in the game. So

1379
01:13:28,439 --> 01:13:31,200
Speaker 1: I just I'm just like I watched Gino because I've

1380
01:13:31,200 --> 01:13:33,160
Speaker 1: watched so many of his games in my life, and

1381
01:13:33,200 --> 01:13:35,519
Speaker 1: I'm like, that guy is still in there. But this

1382
01:13:35,720 --> 01:13:37,720
Speaker 1: is also starting to feel like one of those kind

1383
01:13:37,760 --> 01:13:40,920
Speaker 1: of special seasons where things just go right for him,

1384
01:13:40,920 --> 01:13:42,920
Speaker 1: and that I'm trying not to take any credit away

1385
01:13:42,920 --> 01:13:45,240
Speaker 1: from him, and it sounds like it is. But if

1386
01:13:45,280 --> 01:13:47,080
Speaker 1: you watch this game, you'll notice this game could have

1387
01:13:47,120 --> 01:13:49,880
Speaker 1: been very different if Arizona just made some plays that

1388
01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:52,960
Speaker 1: they did. I mean to pick six was an incredibly

1389
01:13:53,760 --> 01:13:56,719
Speaker 1: unique play by Zavin Collins. It wasn't just a terribly

1390
01:13:56,800 --> 01:13:58,800
Speaker 1: thrown ball or something or him not seeing the field.

1391
01:13:58,840 --> 01:14:01,200
Speaker 1: I think that Gino the thing I like about him

1392
01:14:01,240 --> 01:14:03,080
Speaker 1: is that every week he's gonna give you four or

1393
01:14:03,120 --> 01:14:06,400
Speaker 1: five throws that are beautiful and he I you know,

1394
01:14:06,479 --> 01:14:08,280
Speaker 1: they talked about this, and maybe this doesn't matter to

1395
01:14:08,320 --> 01:14:10,120
Speaker 1: most people, but they've talked about the fact to your

1396
01:14:10,160 --> 01:14:13,240
Speaker 1: point on Pete Carroll that Pete Carroll, like Geno Smith,

1397
01:14:13,360 --> 01:14:15,880
Speaker 1: is just Pete Carroll's kind of quarterback. That he has

1398
01:14:15,920 --> 01:14:18,360
Speaker 1: a special that city has a special affinity for the

1399
01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:20,400
Speaker 1: journey has been on. I think to go be believed

1400
01:14:20,439 --> 01:14:23,000
Speaker 1: in by your coach and believed in by your team,

1401
01:14:23,560 --> 01:14:25,040
Speaker 1: that matters, and it helps you get out of some

1402
01:14:25,120 --> 01:14:26,920
Speaker 1: of the dark places you get into. And he's done that.

1403
01:14:27,160 --> 01:14:29,360
Speaker 1: He hasn't had a lot of bad quarters. But today,

1404
01:14:29,680 --> 01:14:31,960
Speaker 1: you know, early on it was like, we'll see, is

1405
01:14:32,000 --> 01:14:34,080
Speaker 1: this the Geno game we're waiting for? And he worked

1406
01:14:34,120 --> 01:14:36,040
Speaker 1: his way out of it, right. I think Vance Joseph,

1407
01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:39,280
Speaker 1: the coordinator for the Cardinals, threw a lot at him.

1408
01:14:39,400 --> 01:14:42,000
Speaker 1: And Gino is a guy who wins before the snap,

1409
01:14:42,160 --> 01:14:45,120
Speaker 1: you know, much like is a former mentor Eli Manning.

1410
01:14:45,320 --> 01:14:48,519
Speaker 1: The similarities continue, uh, And I don't think he knew

1411
01:14:48,520 --> 01:14:50,439
Speaker 1: exactly what he've seen before the snap a lot of time,

1412
01:14:50,439 --> 01:14:52,360
Speaker 1: and he was holding onto the ball too long. That's

1413
01:14:52,360 --> 01:14:54,400
Speaker 1: an old Gino trade and he took a couple of

1414
01:14:54,439 --> 01:14:57,000
Speaker 1: bad sex but the difference Dan and you mentioned like

1415
01:14:57,040 --> 01:14:59,320
Speaker 1: he he lucked out on one near interception in the

1416
01:14:59,680 --> 01:15:02,519
Speaker 1: red zone, uh is one of his worst throw where

1417
01:15:02,520 --> 01:15:04,560
Speaker 1: he just a soft throw to DK metcalf that he

1418
01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:06,840
Speaker 1: should have put up higher and it probably should have

1419
01:15:06,880 --> 01:15:10,559
Speaker 1: been picked. The very next play, he puts a dime

1420
01:15:11,040 --> 01:15:14,760
Speaker 1: on a defender's back shoulder, which the hood spot to

1421
01:15:14,960 --> 01:15:18,479
Speaker 1: make that throw even in tight quarters after you nearly

1422
01:15:18,560 --> 01:15:21,599
Speaker 1: threw an interception was incredible and DK makes a great

1423
01:15:21,680 --> 01:15:23,720
Speaker 1: catch and they score, So you're right, like right after

1424
01:15:23,800 --> 01:15:25,439
Speaker 1: he made two of his worst throws of the game.

1425
01:15:25,720 --> 01:15:28,840
Speaker 1: He followed that with dimes for touchdowns and I'm having

1426
01:15:28,920 --> 01:15:32,680
Speaker 1: a great year. I am not, don't and I know,

1427
01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:35,040
Speaker 1: I know I'm agree with you on Twitter or wherever

1428
01:15:35,120 --> 01:15:38,040
Speaker 1: the hell else, but like it's just he has made

1429
01:15:38,120 --> 01:15:40,080
Speaker 1: some mistakes. He's gotten away with it. But he did

1430
01:15:40,160 --> 01:15:42,760
Speaker 1: agree with this was one of his worst games for

1431
01:15:42,840 --> 01:15:44,320
Speaker 1: most of it. But like the rest of the team,

1432
01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:47,320
Speaker 1: they've really had a good, uh sense of closing out

1433
01:15:47,400 --> 01:15:49,840
Speaker 1: these games in the second half really all season, but

1434
01:15:49,920 --> 01:15:55,160
Speaker 1: especially I'm totally this the once the defense uh has

1435
01:15:55,240 --> 01:15:58,720
Speaker 1: gotten things figured out here and we had another big

1436
01:15:58,800 --> 01:16:00,800
Speaker 1: game by their off sense of Rookie of the Year

1437
01:16:00,880 --> 01:16:05,479
Speaker 1: candidate in the secondary, they're they're just they're having a

1438
01:16:05,560 --> 01:16:07,840
Speaker 1: really nice run now with the defense, the running game,

1439
01:16:07,960 --> 01:16:11,320
Speaker 1: and the Geno Smith led passing game. They're all they're humming,

1440
01:16:11,400 --> 01:16:13,560
Speaker 1: right yeah. And it's I mean, the division they're in,

1441
01:16:14,200 --> 01:16:16,519
Speaker 1: you would have thought that Arizona and the Rams would

1442
01:16:16,560 --> 01:16:19,360
Speaker 1: have been serious playoff contenders and and and like so

1443
01:16:19,520 --> 01:16:21,400
Speaker 1: much of the NFC, they're falling off a cliff. And

1444
01:16:21,920 --> 01:16:24,160
Speaker 1: I feel like every time I looked up at this game,

1445
01:16:24,200 --> 01:16:28,080
Speaker 1: it was another Arizona Cardinals moment where Billy Price is,

1446
01:16:28,560 --> 01:16:31,240
Speaker 1: you know, whipping the snap over Kyler Murray's head, got

1447
01:16:31,320 --> 01:16:34,400
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray and DeAndre Hopkins joined at each other. I

1448
01:16:34,600 --> 01:16:36,439
Speaker 1: kind of thought that was more just like teammates trying

1449
01:16:36,479 --> 01:16:38,400
Speaker 1: to like But Greg and I talked about this a

1450
01:16:38,439 --> 01:16:41,719
Speaker 1: bunch that Kyler Murray, Uh, I think he really really

1451
01:16:41,960 --> 01:16:45,439
Speaker 1: is obviously frustrated and wants this stuff to go better.

1452
01:16:45,840 --> 01:16:50,679
Speaker 1: But his body language and facial expressions and leaning into

1453
01:16:50,760 --> 01:16:53,600
Speaker 1: people verbally on the sideline is another week to week thing,

1454
01:16:53,680 --> 01:16:56,120
Speaker 1: and I they can't get past their own mistakes. They've

1455
01:16:56,120 --> 01:16:59,280
Speaker 1: been a better offense, obviously with DeAndre Hopkins, who has

1456
01:16:59,360 --> 01:17:02,960
Speaker 1: like four the targets in three games this one. Willand

1457
01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:04,800
Speaker 1: did a nice job on him when he was on him,

1458
01:17:04,800 --> 01:17:06,719
Speaker 1: and in general that he didn't do much. I guess

1459
01:17:06,760 --> 01:17:08,760
Speaker 1: my point there would be it's it's not enough and

1460
01:17:09,160 --> 01:17:13,760
Speaker 1: Anderson has given him nothing so far. Negative in this game.

1461
01:17:14,320 --> 01:17:19,719
Speaker 1: Uh played poorly. Um so it's four yards. Jason Zumwalt,

1462
01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:23,240
Speaker 1: the the new voice of the show that he here

1463
01:17:23,280 --> 01:17:26,080
Speaker 1: in a long time Cardinals fan. He suggests that we

1464
01:17:26,200 --> 01:17:28,559
Speaker 1: don't even talk about the Cardinals today as a punishment

1465
01:17:28,800 --> 01:17:32,000
Speaker 1: for how atrocious they've been unbalanced, that would be rewarding

1466
01:17:32,120 --> 01:17:35,320
Speaker 1: them ultimately. And I agree with you. Yeah, I don't

1467
01:17:35,439 --> 01:17:38,040
Speaker 1: deserve this verbal lashing. And here's I know they got

1468
01:17:38,080 --> 01:17:40,320
Speaker 1: better when DeAndre Hopkins returned, but today it was back

1469
01:17:40,360 --> 01:17:43,280
Speaker 1: to the same old five yards per throw Kyler Murray.

1470
01:17:43,720 --> 01:17:47,360
Speaker 1: We're just there was nothing deep down the field at all.

1471
01:17:47,840 --> 01:17:50,840
Speaker 1: Like the only offense that they consistently had came from

1472
01:17:51,000 --> 01:17:53,599
Speaker 1: Kyler scrambling. They had a couple of decent runs from

1473
01:17:54,200 --> 01:17:58,400
Speaker 1: from James Conner, but the passing game, it's another team

1474
01:17:58,520 --> 01:18:00,080
Speaker 1: that they've kind of shown us who they are. There

1475
01:18:00,120 --> 01:18:03,400
Speaker 1: are stations to station bad offensive line offense. And you

1476
01:18:03,479 --> 01:18:05,719
Speaker 1: mentioned him getting upset. The thing that got me about

1477
01:18:05,760 --> 01:18:07,639
Speaker 1: Kyler getting so upset was like it was the first

1478
01:18:07,760 --> 01:18:10,200
Speaker 1: quarter and he was losing his mind. It reminded me

1479
01:18:10,240 --> 01:18:12,760
Speaker 1: a little like sometimes you see in a big tennis match.

1480
01:18:12,920 --> 01:18:16,360
Speaker 1: I know, I know you love the tennis analogies, but

1481
01:18:16,479 --> 01:18:19,320
Speaker 1: the guy when the guys are so edgy early in

1482
01:18:19,360 --> 01:18:21,879
Speaker 1: the match and getting upset at like a not important

1483
01:18:21,920 --> 01:18:24,160
Speaker 1: point in like the first set, it's like, oh, it's

1484
01:18:24,160 --> 01:18:26,920
Speaker 1: gonna he's not there. And that's what Kyler Murray is

1485
01:18:26,960 --> 01:18:30,120
Speaker 1: sometimes in these games, like he's so frustrated at everyone

1486
01:18:30,200 --> 01:18:33,080
Speaker 1: and it's like it's, uh, seven to three Kyler. Your

1487
01:18:33,120 --> 01:18:35,679
Speaker 1: point is he's not John McEnroe, who would get upset

1488
01:18:35,720 --> 01:18:38,639
Speaker 1: but then go win. Well, there you go little tennis

1489
01:18:38,720 --> 01:18:41,679
Speaker 1: with my wife and two small children and utterly destroyed

1490
01:18:41,720 --> 01:18:44,040
Speaker 1: them on the court. You know, I have tennis, I

1491
01:18:44,080 --> 01:18:46,640
Speaker 1: played tennis as a child. I think I have underestimated

1492
01:18:46,680 --> 01:18:50,000
Speaker 1: your global sports fandom. Yeah, you need to just like

1493
01:18:50,160 --> 01:18:53,680
Speaker 1: maybe data wipe your preconceived notions start again. Not to

1494
01:18:53,760 --> 01:18:56,840
Speaker 1: mention his talent, he crushed those boys who have never

1495
01:18:56,960 --> 01:19:00,240
Speaker 1: played tennis before. I think I might have might have

1496
01:19:00,280 --> 01:19:03,439
Speaker 1: eliminated their enjoyment of the sports that day. Hey, that's one.

1497
01:19:03,600 --> 01:19:05,880
Speaker 1: That's that's also teaching a lesson no one to quit

1498
01:19:06,240 --> 01:19:09,000
Speaker 1: one last thing on the Seahawks. Here, by the way,

1499
01:19:09,080 --> 01:19:12,000
Speaker 1: they're going to Germany. They're going to Germany at six

1500
01:19:12,160 --> 01:19:14,519
Speaker 1: and three. This is like a thing. Why you going

1501
01:19:14,600 --> 01:19:18,040
Speaker 1: to Germany at this point? Brady? This is like my

1502
01:19:18,200 --> 01:19:20,240
Speaker 1: dream game here. We give him the week off, right,

1503
01:19:20,280 --> 01:19:22,719
Speaker 1: if you wanted to go follow his little new fetish,

1504
01:19:23,280 --> 01:19:26,280
Speaker 1: would yeah, I'd clear that. I mean the NFL has

1505
01:19:26,320 --> 01:19:28,479
Speaker 1: not cleared that, but I think it's too late for that.

1506
01:19:28,800 --> 01:19:32,639
Speaker 1: All right, let's move to the other late game played

1507
01:19:32,920 --> 01:19:38,240
Speaker 1: in Tampa, and man are the Rams dead? Mhm? The

1508
01:19:38,439 --> 01:19:41,720
Speaker 1: champs might be dead first and Noel Brady on the

1509
01:19:41,760 --> 01:19:43,920
Speaker 1: shotgun on and shift to the right side. Here's this

1510
01:19:44,320 --> 01:19:46,599
Speaker 1: didn't play actually fake passing the right side? Pockball touch

1511
01:19:46,680 --> 01:19:49,760
Speaker 1: off time Perry fucking hears technical lead what a right

1512
01:19:49,840 --> 01:19:58,200
Speaker 1: seconds traight off farag car look can fifteen thirteen buss

1513
01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:11,760
Speaker 1: ge off wf U S. Tom Brady stepped to the

1514
01:20:11,840 --> 01:20:19,160
Speaker 1: podium after over the defending Super Bowl champion Rams and

1515
01:20:19,280 --> 01:20:26,880
Speaker 1: said that was awesome. That was bleeping awesome because the Bucks,

1516
01:20:26,920 --> 01:20:29,800
Speaker 1: in another day where they often struggled, they got the

1517
01:20:29,920 --> 01:20:34,439
Speaker 1: touchdown they needed, taking over with forty four seconds to play,

1518
01:20:34,960 --> 01:20:37,400
Speaker 1: and they go right down the field on the Rams,

1519
01:20:37,439 --> 01:20:41,360
Speaker 1: who are just dying after their offense could not salt

1520
01:20:41,400 --> 01:20:45,160
Speaker 1: away the wind. H So Brady gets it done. Greg.

1521
01:20:45,360 --> 01:20:48,400
Speaker 1: This was right after Mark, excuse me, this was right

1522
01:20:48,520 --> 01:20:50,760
Speaker 1: after the previous drive where it looked like the Bucks

1523
01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:55,679
Speaker 1: had lost the game because another brutal wide receiver dropped

1524
01:20:55,720 --> 01:20:58,000
Speaker 1: by Scotty Miller in the end zone. But they get

1525
01:20:58,040 --> 01:20:59,880
Speaker 1: another chance and they make the most of it huge

1526
01:21:00,040 --> 01:21:03,000
Speaker 1: in Yeah, I guess whoever won this, you're going to

1527
01:21:03,120 --> 01:21:05,479
Speaker 1: avoid some of the heavy critique that would be coming

1528
01:21:05,520 --> 01:21:08,560
Speaker 1: your way had you been the loser. Because there's a

1529
01:21:08,680 --> 01:21:11,560
Speaker 1: reason that we put this game here initially. Now it

1530
01:21:11,920 --> 01:21:14,800
Speaker 1: it finished more with more drama than we expected. But

1531
01:21:14,920 --> 01:21:17,360
Speaker 1: three and a half quarters in, this was a little

1532
01:21:17,360 --> 01:21:20,240
Speaker 1: bit of a punishment here. We were a bit we

1533
01:21:20,320 --> 01:21:23,599
Speaker 1: were lashing a bit for for being, you know, running around,

1534
01:21:23,720 --> 01:21:25,799
Speaker 1: being called the game of the week and all this business,

1535
01:21:26,040 --> 01:21:30,439
Speaker 1: and then you produce a real stinkers running around town.

1536
01:21:31,120 --> 01:21:35,559
Speaker 1: The well it was actually the game was running around everywhere.

1537
01:21:35,600 --> 01:21:37,840
Speaker 1: They're like, oh, you think the Bills, that Jets are there,

1538
01:21:38,160 --> 01:21:40,760
Speaker 1: Who's got Romo, Who's gotten NaN's worth? The game of

1539
01:21:42,880 --> 01:21:45,120
Speaker 1: the week. That's how I see it, Like we're the best.

1540
01:21:45,800 --> 01:21:49,360
Speaker 1: The Rams, I mean have unfixable issues. They have two

1541
01:21:49,439 --> 01:21:53,080
Speaker 1: hundred and six yards of offense. Your offensive line, I

1542
01:21:53,160 --> 01:21:54,840
Speaker 1: mean they kept short of showing it over and over

1543
01:21:54,920 --> 01:21:57,479
Speaker 1: Like Vita Vea was one of the MP of this game,

1544
01:21:58,000 --> 01:21:59,600
Speaker 1: and that's one of the reasons he's awesome. Those there

1545
01:21:59,600 --> 01:22:01,320
Speaker 1: were showing to the left side of the Rams line

1546
01:22:01,360 --> 01:22:04,120
Speaker 1: just had these like open doorways where you can just

1547
01:22:04,240 --> 01:22:08,479
Speaker 1: skirt through and create total problems for like both sides.

1548
01:22:08,520 --> 01:22:12,000
Speaker 1: Like I just I don't I think Stafford. Here's the thing.

1549
01:22:12,280 --> 01:22:15,920
Speaker 1: A year ago, Brady and Stafford at eighty four touchdowns combined.

1550
01:22:16,320 --> 01:22:18,960
Speaker 1: They went into this game with sixteen. The Rams can't

1551
01:22:19,040 --> 01:22:22,280
Speaker 1: run the ball. Sean McVeigh said after not good enough,

1552
01:22:22,600 --> 01:22:24,640
Speaker 1: not even close to good enough. And I'm part of that,

1553
01:22:24,960 --> 01:22:26,960
Speaker 1: And he said changes have to be made, and he

1554
01:22:27,080 --> 01:22:29,960
Speaker 1: reiterated that that's part of him. Part that includes him too.

1555
01:22:30,160 --> 01:22:33,200
Speaker 1: They showed on the sideline after the go ahead touchdown

1556
01:22:33,680 --> 01:22:36,840
Speaker 1: McVeigh and he just seemed just like a guy that

1557
01:22:37,280 --> 01:22:41,599
Speaker 1: was ready for the broadcast booth himself. And Tony Romo, Um,

1558
01:22:41,920 --> 01:22:44,439
Speaker 1: who's in the booth with nance calling this game even

1559
01:22:44,479 --> 01:22:46,640
Speaker 1: though it's an NFC game, that always still messes with

1560
01:22:46,760 --> 01:22:50,040
Speaker 1: my head. Um for CBS. He brought up and I

1561
01:22:50,120 --> 01:22:52,479
Speaker 1: brought up Aaron Donald and how he hadn't had a

1562
01:22:52,560 --> 01:22:55,080
Speaker 1: big year um in terms of getting to the quarterback

1563
01:22:55,520 --> 01:22:59,040
Speaker 1: this year. And Romo provided some nice context on what

1564
01:22:59,200 --> 01:23:01,080
Speaker 1: he's seen when he watches the tape, which is that

1565
01:23:01,840 --> 01:23:04,320
Speaker 1: because they have so much issue, so many issues in

1566
01:23:04,360 --> 01:23:08,639
Speaker 1: their secondary not Jalen Ramsey, but on the other side

1567
01:23:09,000 --> 01:23:11,000
Speaker 1: they have they have they have such a big cushion

1568
01:23:11,040 --> 01:23:14,320
Speaker 1: that they give the opposing wide receivers that opposing offenses

1569
01:23:14,360 --> 01:23:16,920
Speaker 1: are just attacking the Rams getting the ball out quickly,

1570
01:23:17,360 --> 01:23:20,720
Speaker 1: negating Aaron Donald to a certain effect, certain extent. And

1571
01:23:21,080 --> 01:23:24,200
Speaker 1: you didn't see the Bucks light up the Rams defense

1572
01:23:24,240 --> 01:23:27,880
Speaker 1: by any stretch. But in that last series, the ease

1573
01:23:27,960 --> 01:23:30,480
Speaker 1: in which they went right down the field and basically

1574
01:23:30,600 --> 01:23:33,479
Speaker 1: wiped out the Rams, it was like stunning to watch

1575
01:23:33,640 --> 01:23:36,519
Speaker 1: the d look that bad. Well, they're but they're deep

1576
01:23:36,560 --> 01:23:40,439
Speaker 1: played amazing in this game, but they got away with

1577
01:23:40,520 --> 01:23:44,479
Speaker 1: the previous drive. Greg Scotty Miller dropped. The point is

1578
01:23:44,880 --> 01:23:47,519
Speaker 1: they got the ball the Buccaneers seven times in the

1579
01:23:47,600 --> 01:23:49,840
Speaker 1: second half, every one of those with a chance to

1580
01:23:49,920 --> 01:23:53,280
Speaker 1: go take the lead, and they kept getting stopped punt,

1581
01:23:53,640 --> 01:23:56,600
Speaker 1: punt downs, punts, and these aren't like go down the

1582
01:23:56,680 --> 01:23:58,880
Speaker 1: field and punt. These are like three and outs or

1583
01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:01,880
Speaker 1: one first down. They got that field goal, and then yes,

1584
01:24:01,960 --> 01:24:04,439
Speaker 1: they did get lucky at the end. But Tom Brady

1585
01:24:04,960 --> 01:24:09,639
Speaker 1: used all of his experience in that drive. He played

1586
01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:12,639
Speaker 1: hurry up even when the ball was stopped. Uh. Here

1587
01:24:12,680 --> 01:24:15,200
Speaker 1: are the numbers of the play clock of how much

1588
01:24:15,280 --> 01:24:17,880
Speaker 1: time was left when they snapped the ball, even though

1589
01:24:17,920 --> 01:24:22,360
Speaker 1: the clock wasn't moving. Twenty five seconds, uh, twenty one seconds.

1590
01:24:22,680 --> 01:24:25,719
Speaker 1: Where is it here, I'm looking at my notes. Eighteen seconds,

1591
01:24:25,760 --> 01:24:29,280
Speaker 1: seventeen seconds. And so he was not letting the Rams

1592
01:24:29,360 --> 01:24:32,680
Speaker 1: defense make any play changes, substitute at all. They were

1593
01:24:32,720 --> 01:24:34,360
Speaker 1: just sitting there. He was like, if I can keep

1594
01:24:34,439 --> 01:24:36,599
Speaker 1: them in this defense, I'm gonna go down the field.

1595
01:24:36,640 --> 01:24:39,519
Speaker 1: And he played hyper speed even though like the clock

1596
01:24:39,640 --> 01:24:41,080
Speaker 1: was stopped in all these and that was something like

1597
01:24:41,200 --> 01:24:43,080
Speaker 1: Tom Brady stuff. That was I would also note that

1598
01:24:43,120 --> 01:24:45,840
Speaker 1: I don't think the Bucks win this game without their

1599
01:24:45,920 --> 01:24:49,599
Speaker 1: punter operating as an absolute star. Jake Camarda. He had

1600
01:24:49,600 --> 01:24:55,439
Speaker 1: a seventy four yard punt longest by the Bucks ties,

1601
01:24:55,479 --> 01:24:58,599
Speaker 1: a team record that goes back to December four by

1602
01:24:58,640 --> 01:25:01,639
Speaker 1: old Shan Lindetta Love Show when that after that punt

1603
01:25:01,680 --> 01:25:04,040
Speaker 1: happened this game at fifteen of them, there were six

1604
01:25:04,160 --> 01:25:07,360
Speaker 1: hundred and fourteen punt yards by both teams in like

1605
01:25:07,720 --> 01:25:10,960
Speaker 1: three ten yards a total offense. I mean, you're getting

1606
01:25:11,000 --> 01:25:14,400
Speaker 1: to the point, Um, do we have the Ramsey sound

1607
01:25:14,400 --> 01:25:17,920
Speaker 1: where the Rams defense is rightfully, I feel like that

1608
01:25:18,040 --> 01:25:20,720
Speaker 1: they're not. Donald did have a big impact. He ended

1609
01:25:20,760 --> 01:25:22,360
Speaker 1: a drive with a sack in this and ended up

1610
01:25:22,400 --> 01:25:24,840
Speaker 1: the next drive I believe with a batted pass. For

1611
01:25:24,880 --> 01:25:26,960
Speaker 1: the most part, they had a good day until it

1612
01:25:27,080 --> 01:25:29,240
Speaker 1: wasn't a good day. They went the Bucks had at

1613
01:25:29,280 --> 01:25:32,639
Speaker 1: twelve place fifty three yard, fifty three yards the Scotty

1614
01:25:32,720 --> 01:25:35,640
Speaker 1: Miller drop and then the Rams get to stop on

1615
01:25:35,800 --> 01:25:39,439
Speaker 1: fourth down. Uh, with um, just a couple of minutes

1616
01:25:39,520 --> 01:25:42,000
Speaker 1: to play, send the Rams offense back out there. They

1617
01:25:42,080 --> 01:25:44,280
Speaker 1: go three and out and gain six yards and burn

1618
01:25:44,400 --> 01:25:47,400
Speaker 1: one minute of the clock, which then allows Tampa Bay

1619
01:25:47,520 --> 01:25:49,759
Speaker 1: to get one more shot and in thirty five seconds

1620
01:25:49,800 --> 01:25:53,080
Speaker 1: they go sixty yards for the score. Jalen Ramsey one

1621
01:25:53,160 --> 01:25:55,960
Speaker 1: of the high powered stars of this team in the secondary.

1622
01:25:56,400 --> 01:26:00,280
Speaker 1: After the game, the frustration is obvious. He's like, how

1623
01:26:00,320 --> 01:26:03,479
Speaker 1: many times you need us to bale out? The defense?

1624
01:26:03,520 --> 01:26:05,920
Speaker 1: Should not have went had to go back on the field.

1625
01:26:06,760 --> 01:26:09,560
Speaker 1: M have some dogs who are gonna go get it

1626
01:26:09,720 --> 01:26:12,120
Speaker 1: be like like we shouldn't come to the sideline after

1627
01:26:12,120 --> 01:26:14,800
Speaker 1: a big stop like that, and and our coaches or

1628
01:26:15,360 --> 01:26:17,360
Speaker 1: the other side or whoever telling us, man, we don't

1629
01:26:17,360 --> 01:26:18,439
Speaker 1: need you all one more time. We're gonna need you

1630
01:26:18,479 --> 01:26:21,880
Speaker 1: all one more time, like we just we made a

1631
01:26:21,960 --> 01:26:26,479
Speaker 1: big stop turning over on downs with a minute and

1632
01:26:26,720 --> 01:26:31,080
Speaker 1: some change left in no time out for for nobody.

1633
01:26:32,080 --> 01:26:36,000
Speaker 1: I have some dogs like, man, let we don't We're

1634
01:26:36,000 --> 01:26:38,760
Speaker 1: gonna end this game right now. Good stop, We're gonna

1635
01:26:38,800 --> 01:26:41,000
Speaker 1: end this game for y'all, Like we gotta play off

1636
01:26:41,040 --> 01:26:42,680
Speaker 1: each other in that in that sense, you know what

1637
01:26:42,720 --> 01:26:45,280
Speaker 1: I mean. That's what I mean by we shouldn't even

1638
01:26:45,400 --> 01:26:47,840
Speaker 1: have to go back out there. But it is what

1639
01:26:47,960 --> 01:26:50,080
Speaker 1: it is. It ain't the first time that this is happening.

1640
01:26:50,160 --> 01:26:54,439
Speaker 1: This is happen you know, multiple times this year, and

1641
01:26:54,520 --> 01:26:56,760
Speaker 1: you could you could call that finger pointing if you want,

1642
01:26:56,840 --> 01:27:00,200
Speaker 1: I like it as honest. It's the it's the star

1643
01:27:00,320 --> 01:27:02,120
Speaker 1: of the defense, are one of the top two stars

1644
01:27:02,200 --> 01:27:04,840
Speaker 1: of the defense calling out what we all know, which

1645
01:27:04,960 --> 01:27:07,760
Speaker 1: is that they're playing well but they're not getting help

1646
01:27:07,800 --> 01:27:09,800
Speaker 1: from the other side. And you know when we kill

1647
01:27:09,960 --> 01:27:14,320
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and in weeks past for dishing out critique

1648
01:27:14,360 --> 01:27:17,800
Speaker 1: but not really including himself at times, like the Rams

1649
01:27:17,880 --> 01:27:19,680
Speaker 1: defense got it done today. This is the kind of

1650
01:27:19,720 --> 01:27:23,599
Speaker 1: stuff that fractures and pulls apart of locker room. Their

1651
01:27:23,760 --> 01:27:27,920
Speaker 1: their loss in the NFC is not the same to

1652
01:27:28,080 --> 01:27:30,000
Speaker 1: me as let's say if the Bucks have lost this

1653
01:27:30,160 --> 01:27:34,559
Speaker 1: game as crazy as the n right, the Bucks are

1654
01:27:34,600 --> 01:27:36,200
Speaker 1: now tied for first place, and even if they were

1655
01:27:36,200 --> 01:27:38,639
Speaker 1: a game back, I would have always given the Bucks

1656
01:27:38,680 --> 01:27:41,479
Speaker 1: a chance to get theirselves together in December, because just

1657
01:27:41,479 --> 01:27:44,240
Speaker 1: because you never know. The Rams, on the other hand,

1658
01:27:44,680 --> 01:27:46,559
Speaker 1: like the Cardinals. The Cardinals are at three and six,

1659
01:27:46,720 --> 01:27:50,160
Speaker 1: The Rams are at three and five, are really falling

1660
01:27:50,280 --> 01:27:52,160
Speaker 1: behind in the NFC, where I think it's going to

1661
01:27:52,240 --> 01:27:55,479
Speaker 1: be more difficult to make the playoffs, and there's no

1662
01:27:55,760 --> 01:27:58,920
Speaker 1: signs of like that it could get better. The players

1663
01:27:58,960 --> 01:28:01,120
Speaker 1: are there. They had nine first downs. There are some

1664
01:28:01,240 --> 01:28:04,639
Speaker 1: crazy stats in this game. The Rams had nine first downs.

1665
01:28:04,720 --> 01:28:06,760
Speaker 1: The Rams, after getting out scored in the fourth quarter

1666
01:28:06,880 --> 01:28:09,120
Speaker 1: here again, have been outscored in the fourth quarter of

1667
01:28:09,200 --> 01:28:13,120
Speaker 1: this year seventy one to ten. Whoa shawnny McVeigh, what's

1668
01:28:13,200 --> 01:28:15,439
Speaker 1: up buddy? And then one one last one And this

1669
01:28:15,640 --> 01:28:18,240
Speaker 1: is the one that I just can't even believe. Cooper

1670
01:28:18,280 --> 01:28:20,400
Speaker 1: Cup had eight for one seven in this game. Too

1671
01:28:20,479 --> 01:28:23,479
Speaker 1: long catches. He had that catch for the touchdown that

1672
01:28:23,560 --> 01:28:25,479
Speaker 1: looked just like the one he had to beat the

1673
01:28:25,520 --> 01:28:29,639
Speaker 1: Bucks last year in the playoffs. In none in throws

1674
01:28:29,720 --> 01:28:32,880
Speaker 1: that did not go to Cooper Cup, Matthew Stafford dropped

1675
01:28:32,880 --> 01:28:36,120
Speaker 1: back to pass twenty two times in those non Cooper

1676
01:28:36,160 --> 01:28:39,599
Speaker 1: Cup plays. Would you want to guess what what they produced?

1677
01:28:40,360 --> 01:28:44,360
Speaker 1: Drop backs? Twenty two drop backs. I would say they produced, uh,

1678
01:28:44,640 --> 01:28:50,080
Speaker 1: fifty yards. I'm gonna take the under. They did not

1679
01:28:50,200 --> 01:28:53,200
Speaker 1: break double digits. They had nine yards in those plays.

1680
01:28:53,800 --> 01:28:57,120
Speaker 1: Twenty two plays for nine yards. I just won when

1681
01:28:57,160 --> 01:29:03,280
Speaker 1: it didn't go to Cup. There that says it all. Actually,

1682
01:29:03,320 --> 01:29:08,880
Speaker 1: we both went over prices, right rules you Oh, you're right, Well,

1683
01:29:08,960 --> 01:29:13,439
Speaker 1: that's the It's not really prices, right. It's a football podcast.

1684
01:29:13,600 --> 01:29:16,080
Speaker 1: What a what a sport. It didn't even feel like

1685
01:29:16,160 --> 01:29:19,120
Speaker 1: the Bucks, Like the Bucks defense still hasn't turned forced

1686
01:29:19,160 --> 01:29:20,760
Speaker 1: to turnover in five weeks. I mean they did a

1687
01:29:20,800 --> 01:29:22,679
Speaker 1: good job, they only allowed to, but they haven't forced

1688
01:29:22,720 --> 01:29:24,880
Speaker 1: to turnover in five weeks. The receivers are still dropping basses.

1689
01:29:25,120 --> 01:29:27,880
Speaker 1: They still couldn't run the ball, and they're still running

1690
01:29:27,920 --> 01:29:30,240
Speaker 1: on first and second down like every time and putting

1691
01:29:30,280 --> 01:29:31,840
Speaker 1: Brady into bad spot. So there was a lot of

1692
01:29:31,960 --> 01:29:34,360
Speaker 1: typical Bucks stuff until the end. I don't know if

1693
01:29:34,400 --> 01:29:38,160
Speaker 1: that this like good feeling just magically that's that's exactly

1694
01:29:38,400 --> 01:29:40,760
Speaker 1: because had had the Rams somehow pulled this off. Like

1695
01:29:40,840 --> 01:29:43,920
Speaker 1: people are going to be going nuts on Tampa Bay instead.

1696
01:29:44,040 --> 01:29:46,080
Speaker 1: We kind of if if people don't watch didn't see

1697
01:29:46,120 --> 01:29:48,960
Speaker 1: the game, although it's apparently being played in one percent

1698
01:29:49,000 --> 01:29:52,400
Speaker 1: of the nation according to uh Yeah, I thought that

1699
01:29:52,520 --> 01:29:55,719
Speaker 1: was rude to the Seattle and Arizona game. He said,

1700
01:29:55,960 --> 01:29:58,120
Speaker 1: a hundred percent of the nation. Is that's true that

1701
01:29:58,120 --> 01:30:00,519
Speaker 1: if you're if you're in Arizona, Seattle to they're playing

1702
01:30:00,560 --> 01:30:02,080
Speaker 1: the Rams. But I don't think that's the case. I

1703
01:30:02,360 --> 01:30:05,880
Speaker 1: think it excludes the local markets where although I guess

1704
01:30:06,160 --> 01:30:08,360
Speaker 1: it is on in those markets. It is on, but

1705
01:30:08,400 --> 01:30:11,519
Speaker 1: you're right because it's there. It's I think if you

1706
01:30:12,240 --> 01:30:14,720
Speaker 1: and I think the price's right. Rule is you would

1707
01:30:14,880 --> 01:30:18,800
Speaker 1: wager one, so you would say one yard. You blew

1708
01:30:18,840 --> 01:30:21,280
Speaker 1: it right. No, I could have could have because I

1709
01:30:21,360 --> 01:30:23,519
Speaker 1: knew Greg wouldn't give us that stat if it was

1710
01:30:23,640 --> 01:30:25,720
Speaker 1: like ninety yards. It's like, well there's a lot of

1711
01:30:25,800 --> 01:30:28,360
Speaker 1: bad offense right now. But I should have just gone hardcore.

1712
01:30:28,479 --> 01:30:32,639
Speaker 1: One one would have been pretty close. It wouldn't sound

1713
01:30:32,680 --> 01:30:33,920
Speaker 1: like I really knew what I was talking about. On

1714
01:30:34,000 --> 01:30:36,760
Speaker 1: top of just winning the I feel I feel bad

1715
01:30:36,960 --> 01:30:41,200
Speaker 1: for my for my daughter. Well, my daughter is a

1716
01:30:41,320 --> 01:30:43,600
Speaker 1: huge fan. I know they're they're sad. Back did you

1717
01:30:43,680 --> 01:30:47,240
Speaker 1: go to the Super Bowl? She did? Come on, It's

1718
01:30:47,280 --> 01:30:49,640
Speaker 1: good to learn both sides of the coin. It's the

1719
01:30:49,760 --> 01:30:53,360
Speaker 1: disappointment that's important to in terms of growth. It adds

1720
01:30:53,360 --> 01:30:56,320
Speaker 1: to your character. But I think one and I know

1721
01:30:56,479 --> 01:30:58,120
Speaker 1: you would be if you could just get one Jets

1722
01:30:58,320 --> 01:31:00,280
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, give me one, you would you would be

1723
01:31:00,320 --> 01:31:03,560
Speaker 1: happy forever. But if they followed up that season and

1724
01:31:03,680 --> 01:31:08,400
Speaker 1: looked like Rams, those Sundays would be pretty much just

1725
01:31:08,600 --> 01:31:10,840
Speaker 1: about as miserable as if they hadn't won the Super Bowl.

1726
01:31:10,880 --> 01:31:13,400
Speaker 1: They just would experience a chance to see if that's

1727
01:31:13,439 --> 01:31:17,479
Speaker 1: what would happen. Test that hypothesis out on your own now,

1728
01:31:18,400 --> 01:31:21,560
Speaker 1: Reggy had a little bounce at his step in the newsroom.

1729
01:31:22,280 --> 01:31:24,600
Speaker 1: We should have known Mark that he had locked up

1730
01:31:24,680 --> 01:31:27,320
Speaker 1: the bucks. So doubly sweet late touchdown, had it all

1731
01:31:27,400 --> 01:31:30,280
Speaker 1: the way very nice. You were sweating that out for

1732
01:31:30,320 --> 01:31:32,680
Speaker 1: a little bit there, greg Um. You and I are

1733
01:31:32,760 --> 01:31:35,560
Speaker 1: both um surging in the at the top of the

1734
01:31:35,640 --> 01:31:39,080
Speaker 1: standings halfway through the season. It's exciting, Mark, you know, come,

1735
01:31:39,520 --> 01:31:42,439
Speaker 1: come join us. Come. Everyone got their lock right this week,

1736
01:31:42,479 --> 01:31:45,040
Speaker 1: which is cool. I'm I'm one behind you, and I

1737
01:31:45,120 --> 01:31:47,760
Speaker 1: think that you know the great nature of sports. We've

1738
01:31:47,760 --> 01:31:51,160
Speaker 1: been talking about it all evening and football is a

1739
01:31:51,240 --> 01:31:54,720
Speaker 1: comeback to football is great. What a great day. I

1740
01:31:54,840 --> 01:31:58,000
Speaker 1: love it. Do you love football? Justin I still love football.

1741
01:31:59,080 --> 01:32:00,960
Speaker 1: You might not love it. After we get into the

1742
01:32:01,040 --> 01:32:05,920
Speaker 1: final game of week nine Sunday from Arrowhead, it is

1743
01:32:06,000 --> 01:32:13,080
Speaker 1: the Titans taken on the Chiefs fourth and well, let's

1744
01:32:13,080 --> 01:32:16,240
Speaker 1: put it up. It's in complete and it's old her

1745
01:32:16,680 --> 01:32:23,360
Speaker 1: and Kansas City wins over Tome. Mike Tarico with the

1746
01:32:23,479 --> 01:32:31,400
Speaker 1: call for NBC. Yes, the Kansas City Chiefs tie the

1747
01:32:31,479 --> 01:32:34,080
Speaker 1: game with a touchdown and two point conversion, both on

1748
01:32:34,280 --> 01:32:37,920
Speaker 1: runs from Patrick Mahomes in the fourth quarter, and then

1749
01:32:38,920 --> 01:32:41,920
Speaker 1: after a field goal put them ahead, the Titans go

1750
01:32:42,120 --> 01:32:45,639
Speaker 1: four and out with Malik Willis at quarterback, Ryan Tannehill

1751
01:32:46,439 --> 01:32:50,040
Speaker 1: inactive in this game with that ankle issue, and boys,

1752
01:32:50,120 --> 01:32:54,280
Speaker 1: that is how I'll remember it. Uh, this game. Um,

1753
01:32:55,200 --> 01:32:58,519
Speaker 1: when the Tennessee offense really needed to play down the

1754
01:32:58,600 --> 01:33:00,639
Speaker 1: stretch here, they just couldn't at it. And you give

1755
01:33:00,680 --> 01:33:03,679
Speaker 1: credit to Kansas City and their defense. And of course

1756
01:33:03,760 --> 01:33:07,439
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes mark on a day where he threw sixty

1757
01:33:07,600 --> 01:33:12,200
Speaker 1: eight passes uh in the game too, shy of the

1758
01:33:12,560 --> 01:33:15,640
Speaker 1: NFL record for passing attempts in a game. It was

1759
01:33:15,760 --> 01:33:18,240
Speaker 1: the plays he made with his legs in the fourth

1760
01:33:18,320 --> 01:33:21,920
Speaker 1: quarter that saved the Chiefs. Yeah, I just this. I

1761
01:33:22,479 --> 01:33:25,120
Speaker 1: can only imagine what's going on with Grave Digger, because

1762
01:33:25,120 --> 01:33:27,920
Speaker 1: I think it's a Titans fan. You had to love

1763
01:33:28,120 --> 01:33:30,200
Speaker 1: what was happening early. They put a lot of heat

1764
01:33:30,240 --> 01:33:33,960
Speaker 1: on the homes. They were creative enough in their in

1765
01:33:34,000 --> 01:33:36,519
Speaker 1: their run game. It was just sort of a typical

1766
01:33:36,880 --> 01:33:40,640
Speaker 1: Titans white knuckle operation. And they've matched up well with

1767
01:33:40,720 --> 01:33:42,519
Speaker 1: the Chiefs before it seemed like they were gonna get

1768
01:33:42,520 --> 01:33:44,720
Speaker 1: it done. But if you're the Chiefs and you're gonna

1769
01:33:44,800 --> 01:33:48,200
Speaker 1: run the ball or you're gonna have nine snaps and

1770
01:33:48,320 --> 01:33:50,840
Speaker 1: hold the ball for forty one plus minutes, I just

1771
01:33:50,880 --> 01:33:54,720
Speaker 1: saw Titans defense that started to bleed towards the end.

1772
01:33:55,200 --> 01:33:58,840
Speaker 1: They started to crazy because it was one offensive plays

1773
01:33:59,080 --> 01:34:02,360
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs running backs, they're running game other than

1774
01:34:02,479 --> 01:34:07,880
Speaker 1: Mahomes had fourteen yards and it was seventeen nine late

1775
01:34:07,960 --> 01:34:11,320
Speaker 1: in that fourth quarter, and it was nine nothing at

1776
01:34:11,360 --> 01:34:14,000
Speaker 1: the beginning of the second quarter. At that point, I

1777
01:34:14,120 --> 01:34:16,920
Speaker 1: thought game over. Titans aren't coming back from nine nothing.

1778
01:34:16,960 --> 01:34:18,599
Speaker 1: It felt like it was gonna be a total route.

1779
01:34:18,640 --> 01:34:22,920
Speaker 1: They get seventeen straight points. They're making Mahomes hold the

1780
01:34:23,000 --> 01:34:26,000
Speaker 1: ball forever. Like the defensive line did such a good

1781
01:34:26,080 --> 01:34:28,400
Speaker 1: job over and over again. And I know the stats

1782
01:34:28,479 --> 01:34:31,040
Speaker 1: look so uneven. You know, Chiefs have twenty nine first downs,

1783
01:34:31,360 --> 01:34:34,640
Speaker 1: Titans have nine every Titans game. But man, it just

1784
01:34:35,240 --> 01:34:37,880
Speaker 1: it was right there. And they couldn't get Lucky Graver

1785
01:34:38,120 --> 01:34:41,719
Speaker 1: on on some of those calls on the two versions.

1786
01:34:42,800 --> 01:34:45,599
Speaker 1: They couldn't Homes down on the third and seventeen, where

1787
01:34:45,640 --> 01:34:48,600
Speaker 1: it was also a holding that wasn't calling. I'm not

1788
01:34:48,600 --> 01:34:51,080
Speaker 1: gonna complain about any of the calls or whatever, because

1789
01:34:51,120 --> 01:34:55,880
Speaker 1: even Travis Kelsey ripping off Josh Calu did grab him first,

1790
01:34:55,920 --> 01:34:58,320
Speaker 1: so like I could see where, but maybe it could

1791
01:34:58,360 --> 01:35:00,479
Speaker 1: have been and on that same play could have been

1792
01:35:00,520 --> 01:35:02,920
Speaker 1: holding where they basically tackled. I think it was heart

1793
01:35:03,000 --> 01:35:06,519
Speaker 1: coming through. Yeah, I think you can complain on that one.

1794
01:35:06,720 --> 01:35:09,680
Speaker 1: When when Travis Kelsey is like choke holding the guy

1795
01:35:09,760 --> 01:35:11,479
Speaker 1: and like rapping his helmet off, I think you can

1796
01:35:11,840 --> 01:35:14,280
Speaker 1: complain about not off Sundy pedalty. But I feel like

1797
01:35:14,479 --> 01:35:17,160
Speaker 1: Mahomes would have scored on the next run in anyway,

1798
01:35:17,200 --> 01:35:20,040
Speaker 1: which he did. I think losing bud Dupree hurt this

1799
01:35:20,120 --> 01:35:22,920
Speaker 1: Titans team a lot because when he was in the

1800
01:35:23,120 --> 01:35:26,320
Speaker 1: like bud Dupree is a really aggressive guy, like a

1801
01:35:26,720 --> 01:35:29,320
Speaker 1: really high motor guy who continues to play and play

1802
01:35:29,400 --> 01:35:31,120
Speaker 1: and play in. Mahomes the type of quarterback where you

1803
01:35:31,240 --> 01:35:33,720
Speaker 1: need that presence on your defense. And when he went

1804
01:35:33,800 --> 01:35:36,559
Speaker 1: out in the second half with that hip injury that's

1805
01:35:36,560 --> 01:35:39,160
Speaker 1: been bothering him most of the season, it was after

1806
01:35:39,439 --> 01:35:43,240
Speaker 1: his exit that Mahomes had all those scrambles running open downfield.

1807
01:35:43,280 --> 01:35:46,840
Speaker 1: I mean, how do it looked exactly like the twenty

1808
01:35:46,960 --> 01:35:49,320
Speaker 1: nineteen a f C Championship game where the Titans get

1809
01:35:49,400 --> 01:35:51,639
Speaker 1: up to a lead and the one spark like nothing's

1810
01:35:51,640 --> 01:35:53,960
Speaker 1: working for the Chiefs offense, and then it's sparked by

1811
01:35:54,360 --> 01:35:57,880
Speaker 1: Mahomes using his legs. And that's why he's just such

1812
01:35:57,960 --> 01:36:01,120
Speaker 1: a great, unstoppable player. I I'm sitting there watching the game,

1813
01:36:01,240 --> 01:36:03,479
Speaker 1: hoping the Chiefs call running plays. Like every time they

1814
01:36:03,520 --> 01:36:05,760
Speaker 1: call a running play, I'm like, this defense has got it.

1815
01:36:06,120 --> 01:36:08,280
Speaker 1: They call it pass. I don't know, Mahomes is gonna

1816
01:36:08,320 --> 01:36:10,920
Speaker 1: do some magical thing. I think I'm hesitant to say

1817
01:36:11,080 --> 01:36:14,640
Speaker 1: that Patrick Mahomes is underrated in any way because I

1818
01:36:14,680 --> 01:36:17,840
Speaker 1: think he is properly celebrated as one of the best

1819
01:36:17,920 --> 01:36:21,160
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the league and potentially all time when it's

1820
01:36:21,160 --> 01:36:24,720
Speaker 1: all said and done. But guys like Lamar Jackson and

1821
01:36:24,880 --> 01:36:27,360
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, you know, we talked about all the time

1822
01:36:27,439 --> 01:36:29,599
Speaker 1: how they can change games with their legs. Mahomes has

1823
01:36:29,640 --> 01:36:32,439
Speaker 1: been this guy his whole career as well. His ability

1824
01:36:32,560 --> 01:36:36,519
Speaker 1: and his impeccable instincts of when to flee when he

1825
01:36:36,680 --> 01:36:40,120
Speaker 1: needs seventeen yards, he can get that for you, and

1826
01:36:40,240 --> 01:36:43,280
Speaker 1: I think it's just like more you see it every week.

1827
01:36:43,800 --> 01:36:47,080
Speaker 1: The traditional pocket pastor is dead. You need guys like

1828
01:36:47,120 --> 01:36:50,200
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes that can do with their legs when it's

1829
01:36:50,240 --> 01:36:53,080
Speaker 1: not there in the passing game. And on the Tennessee

1830
01:36:53,160 --> 01:36:56,839
Speaker 1: side with Malik Willis, you know he's a young quarterback. Obviously,

1831
01:36:57,040 --> 01:36:59,320
Speaker 1: he was drafted in the third round. I believe he's

1832
01:36:59,320 --> 01:37:02,400
Speaker 1: a development type player, uh in a draft class that

1833
01:37:02,479 --> 01:37:04,840
Speaker 1: didn't have a lot of high end talent by most

1834
01:37:04,920 --> 01:37:10,200
Speaker 1: people's expectations. But Mark, he he wasn't ready for the

1835
01:37:10,360 --> 01:37:13,080
Speaker 1: moment when things got hot in the fourth quarter, right

1836
01:37:13,120 --> 01:37:15,639
Speaker 1: down to the final drive there where the offensive line

1837
01:37:15,720 --> 01:37:18,599
Speaker 1: was buying him some time and he just wouldn't pull

1838
01:37:18,680 --> 01:37:20,960
Speaker 1: the trigger on throws. Now you could say downfield, there's

1839
01:37:21,000 --> 01:37:22,920
Speaker 1: nobody open, but also there was a little bit of

1840
01:37:22,960 --> 01:37:24,720
Speaker 1: a deer in the headlights vibe. It's in a tough

1841
01:37:24,720 --> 01:37:27,920
Speaker 1: spot because there are very weapons poor offense in general.

1842
01:37:28,160 --> 01:37:30,519
Speaker 1: He's not surrounded by much or anything in the in

1843
01:37:30,560 --> 01:37:33,560
Speaker 1: the in the passing game, they're running a bunch of

1844
01:37:33,640 --> 01:37:36,240
Speaker 1: three tight end sets. I mean, it's the contrast between

1845
01:37:36,600 --> 01:37:38,880
Speaker 1: a lot of the a lot of the Patrick Mahomes

1846
01:37:39,000 --> 01:37:41,599
Speaker 1: plays where he's taking off with his feet and making

1847
01:37:42,160 --> 01:37:44,720
Speaker 1: incredible first downs. It's because of his vision, because of

1848
01:37:44,800 --> 01:37:46,960
Speaker 1: what he's seen, because of what his options are and

1849
01:37:47,040 --> 01:37:49,280
Speaker 1: when what he in the choices he makes. And Willis,

1850
01:37:49,360 --> 01:37:51,240
Speaker 1: I thought towards the end of the game, when he

1851
01:37:51,320 --> 01:37:54,479
Speaker 1: had those two terrible sacks in a row to essentially

1852
01:37:54,560 --> 01:37:57,120
Speaker 1: ice the thing, It's like the last thing you wanted

1853
01:37:57,160 --> 01:37:59,400
Speaker 1: to be as the Titans was having to put the

1854
01:37:59,439 --> 01:38:01,360
Speaker 1: game in him a leak Willis's hands, because it's like

1855
01:38:01,640 --> 01:38:05,800
Speaker 1: they they successfully played around his weaknesses all game and

1856
01:38:05,880 --> 01:38:08,280
Speaker 1: then the floor fell out right, But they didn't successfully

1857
01:38:08,360 --> 01:38:10,519
Speaker 1: do it on offense after those first three drives. The

1858
01:38:10,960 --> 01:38:13,479
Speaker 1: frustrating thing is he had a couple of nice throws.

1859
01:38:13,560 --> 01:38:16,640
Speaker 1: He had a nice deep ball that they dropped on,

1860
01:38:16,760 --> 01:38:19,439
Speaker 1: the go ball down the side. They had another and

1861
01:38:19,560 --> 01:38:21,439
Speaker 1: which is why I think they were confident enough to

1862
01:38:21,520 --> 01:38:23,519
Speaker 1: go back to it in a place where you didn't

1863
01:38:23,560 --> 01:38:25,600
Speaker 1: really need to be aggressive later in the game in

1864
01:38:25,640 --> 01:38:28,040
Speaker 1: Westbrooker Keena. Couldn't you know, bring it in that wasn't

1865
01:38:28,120 --> 01:38:30,679
Speaker 1: on him? Yeah, yeah, the nice back shoulder to Hooper.

1866
01:38:31,000 --> 01:38:34,000
Speaker 1: But they had nine drives to end the game on

1867
01:38:34,160 --> 01:38:40,000
Speaker 1: offense in which they totaled one first down. I mean,

1868
01:38:40,280 --> 01:38:43,800
Speaker 1: that's the worst stretch of offensive player right, there have

1869
01:38:43,920 --> 01:38:46,839
Speaker 1: any offense in any spot all year. And the sequence

1870
01:38:46,920 --> 01:38:49,439
Speaker 1: that killed me was they somehow managed to extend their

1871
01:38:49,520 --> 01:38:53,080
Speaker 1: lead from seventy nine in that stretch and they had

1872
01:38:53,160 --> 01:38:55,880
Speaker 1: the ball in the fourth quarter around the forty two

1873
01:38:56,000 --> 01:38:58,160
Speaker 1: yard line. You got a second and eight, and that's

1874
01:38:58,240 --> 01:39:01,400
Speaker 1: when they do a drop back pass where they throw

1875
01:39:01,439 --> 01:39:03,920
Speaker 1: the ball deep, doesn't work, and then they have a screen,

1876
01:39:04,040 --> 01:39:07,040
Speaker 1: they lose yardage and they punt it away. I wanted

1877
01:39:07,120 --> 01:39:09,640
Speaker 1: more time, more running. I actually too. They could have

1878
01:39:09,760 --> 01:39:12,400
Speaker 1: leaned more and he had seen carries. He just seemed

1879
01:39:12,400 --> 01:39:16,000
Speaker 1: to fanish in this game, and he had zero targets,

1880
01:39:16,080 --> 01:39:18,120
Speaker 1: which this is what bothered me the most, Like, even

1881
01:39:18,200 --> 01:39:20,120
Speaker 1: if you know it's the end of the game and

1882
01:39:20,200 --> 01:39:21,760
Speaker 1: you can't hand it off because you're running out of

1883
01:39:21,800 --> 01:39:24,200
Speaker 1: time or whatever, Henry can stay on the field and

1884
01:39:24,240 --> 01:39:26,080
Speaker 1: be a weapon. You get him in space and he

1885
01:39:26,120 --> 01:39:29,120
Speaker 1: can make people like we've seen him make people miss

1886
01:39:29,200 --> 01:39:31,880
Speaker 1: this year in space, And you're absolutely right. I thought

1887
01:39:31,920 --> 01:39:34,120
Speaker 1: the same thing there in that last drive in the

1888
01:39:34,320 --> 01:39:37,760
Speaker 1: possession in the fourth quarter, he's off the field, he's

1889
01:39:37,760 --> 01:39:40,760
Speaker 1: on the sideline, and it's like, yeah, we've seen him

1890
01:39:40,840 --> 01:39:44,040
Speaker 1: catch passes before make a guy miss and then take

1891
01:39:44,080 --> 01:39:47,320
Speaker 1: it to the house. They needed him to save them,

1892
01:39:47,400 --> 01:39:49,719
Speaker 1: and he can't save them when he's not on the field.

1893
01:39:49,760 --> 01:39:52,000
Speaker 1: So yes, maybe Malik Wills had a couple of nice throws,

1894
01:39:52,320 --> 01:39:56,519
Speaker 1: but five of sixteen for eighty yards was the final total.

1895
01:39:56,880 --> 01:39:59,680
Speaker 1: And it's just a bummer. Obviously is a Titans fan

1896
01:39:59,720 --> 01:40:03,360
Speaker 1: because Tannehills on the sideline too, and uh, you know

1897
01:40:03,960 --> 01:40:07,320
Speaker 1: that everything else equal. If he's in this game, they

1898
01:40:07,520 --> 01:40:10,599
Speaker 1: they win, uh, and they just this is the when

1899
01:40:10,720 --> 01:40:12,639
Speaker 1: is the last time we saw a game where a team,

1900
01:40:12,880 --> 01:40:15,120
Speaker 1: you know, with a chance to took it to overtime

1901
01:40:15,320 --> 01:40:18,439
Speaker 1: where they finished the game with ten straight drives of

1902
01:40:18,560 --> 01:40:22,200
Speaker 1: eight or fewer net yards? Pretty wild? So that's that's

1903
01:40:22,240 --> 01:40:24,120
Speaker 1: what I mean, where just you you would have thought

1904
01:40:24,120 --> 01:40:27,240
Speaker 1: there would have been more adjustment in terms of read

1905
01:40:27,280 --> 01:40:30,000
Speaker 1: option plays and design runs, like if they had just

1906
01:40:30,120 --> 01:40:32,439
Speaker 1: chosen not to pass it all and have Willis on

1907
01:40:32,520 --> 01:40:35,880
Speaker 1: the move with read options and more runs for Tenry

1908
01:40:35,920 --> 01:40:37,880
Speaker 1: even in overtime when it was like second and eight,

1909
01:40:37,960 --> 01:40:40,360
Speaker 1: just running Henry four straight times and see what happens

1910
01:40:40,520 --> 01:40:42,519
Speaker 1: if you can get I wonder behind the scenes, like

1911
01:40:42,680 --> 01:40:46,000
Speaker 1: they're trying to give him the smallest playbook possible and

1912
01:40:46,080 --> 01:40:48,840
Speaker 1: he just doesn't seem up to speed. I mean maybe,

1913
01:40:49,000 --> 01:40:51,799
Speaker 1: but yeah, they didn't. They didn't like make a Willis

1914
01:40:51,920 --> 01:40:54,120
Speaker 1: is gonna run the ball a lot. I mean, the

1915
01:40:54,200 --> 01:40:56,519
Speaker 1: read options worked in the first half. And it's crazy

1916
01:40:56,560 --> 01:40:59,640
Speaker 1: because the defensive plan to Mahomes did work perfectly. All

1917
01:40:59,680 --> 01:41:02,280
Speaker 1: they need it was a remote, a tiny bit of

1918
01:41:02,360 --> 01:41:04,920
Speaker 1: confidence from their offense and they win this game. And

1919
01:41:05,000 --> 01:41:08,040
Speaker 1: yet what will remember kind of like we remember Tom

1920
01:41:08,120 --> 01:41:10,400
Speaker 1: Brady at the end of this game for finally getting

1921
01:41:10,400 --> 01:41:12,640
Speaker 1: it done at the end, what I'll remember ultimately is

1922
01:41:13,120 --> 01:41:17,160
Speaker 1: not only Mahome's running, but on the overtime drive, the

1923
01:41:17,320 --> 01:41:20,760
Speaker 1: second down throw where he's falling over and Kelsey makes

1924
01:41:20,800 --> 01:41:23,360
Speaker 1: incredible catch behind his back or you know, on a

1925
01:41:23,520 --> 01:41:25,600
Speaker 1: throw that was behind him, and then the third and

1926
01:41:25,680 --> 01:41:28,040
Speaker 1: inches play. Everything for the Chiefs has to be harder

1927
01:41:28,080 --> 01:41:31,200
Speaker 1: where Mahomes needs to stop on a dime and then

1928
01:41:31,280 --> 01:41:34,240
Speaker 1: make an incredible throw down the field on third and

1929
01:41:34,320 --> 01:41:35,880
Speaker 1: inches to set up the game. When you feel, o,

1930
01:41:36,000 --> 01:41:37,920
Speaker 1: that's that's what my Homes does, That's what Brady does.

1931
01:41:38,160 --> 01:41:41,360
Speaker 1: That's why Danny loves football. I love football so much.

1932
01:41:41,680 --> 01:41:45,400
Speaker 1: And uh Tannehill did go out on the field. Um

1933
01:41:45,680 --> 01:41:48,080
Speaker 1: before the game, he tried warming up, but he never

1934
01:41:48,160 --> 01:41:51,560
Speaker 1: even planted his ailing ankle in the turf before he

1935
01:41:51,600 --> 01:41:53,479
Speaker 1: walked off the field and was made inactive. I guess

1936
01:41:53,520 --> 01:41:57,280
Speaker 1: that's where we see again. Justin Tennessee is a team

1937
01:41:57,400 --> 01:41:59,519
Speaker 1: that can hang with anyone. The way they play. Their

1938
01:41:59,560 --> 01:42:02,160
Speaker 1: physical style didn't work out today. In the end. The

1939
01:42:02,240 --> 01:42:04,800
Speaker 1: only thing that would be a real disaster is if

1940
01:42:04,960 --> 01:42:07,640
Speaker 1: this town Hill injury is worse than we uh no.

1941
01:42:08,080 --> 01:42:10,040
Speaker 1: I think it's been reported as a high ankle sprain.

1942
01:42:10,120 --> 01:42:14,800
Speaker 1: So they snowed under um budding young reporter Justin Graver,

1943
01:42:14,920 --> 01:42:16,640
Speaker 1: who's trying to get in front of things on the

1944
01:42:16,720 --> 01:42:19,439
Speaker 1: injury front, not to you know, get on you when

1945
01:42:19,479 --> 01:42:21,479
Speaker 1: you're down here. He didn't a ton of things, and

1946
01:42:21,520 --> 01:42:24,280
Speaker 1: then he got rolled over by the bus of misinformation.

1947
01:42:24,400 --> 01:42:27,120
Speaker 1: I've been pretty wrong two weeks in a row. But

1948
01:42:27,320 --> 01:42:30,040
Speaker 1: he wasn't gonna bring it up. But you know, it

1949
01:42:30,120 --> 01:42:33,559
Speaker 1: would be a nice night for Yessica to maybe make

1950
01:42:33,640 --> 01:42:35,519
Speaker 1: you some nice cupcakes or something, or a treat when

1951
01:42:35,520 --> 01:42:37,439
Speaker 1: you get home. I don't know how that how that works?

1952
01:42:37,479 --> 01:42:40,880
Speaker 1: Can I hit you with one stat Before Titans became

1953
01:42:40,920 --> 01:42:43,880
Speaker 1: the fourth team since the year you do, like when

1954
01:42:44,200 --> 01:42:48,400
Speaker 1: your your mate is hurting, you would physically bake cupcakes.

1955
01:42:48,479 --> 01:42:49,920
Speaker 1: Is that what you're saying. I'm saying that's one night,

1956
01:42:50,040 --> 01:42:51,840
Speaker 1: pulled that out of a hat. Could be anything, didn't

1957
01:42:51,840 --> 01:42:54,360
Speaker 1: you feel even just like the smallest, like almost like

1958
01:42:54,439 --> 01:42:57,519
Speaker 1: infantilized if like, oh, your football team lost, I'm gonna

1959
01:42:57,640 --> 01:43:00,280
Speaker 1: make you cupcakes. And maybe I think it's were like

1960
01:43:01,600 --> 01:43:04,240
Speaker 1: could be really nice fantasy stuff going on, go ahead justice.

1961
01:43:04,560 --> 01:43:07,960
Speaker 1: The Titans became the fourth team since the two thousand

1962
01:43:08,080 --> 01:43:10,920
Speaker 1: season to finish a game without completing a pass to

1963
01:43:11,000 --> 01:43:14,320
Speaker 1: a wide receiver, name a worst receiving corps in the NFL.

1964
01:43:14,400 --> 01:43:18,400
Speaker 1: Then with them so emplamement on the receivers, I mean,

1965
01:43:19,720 --> 01:43:22,280
Speaker 1: the Rams would give up something to go home, three

1966
01:43:22,360 --> 01:43:26,639
Speaker 1: first round picks for to get Robert Wood. You hung tight,

1967
01:43:26,840 --> 01:43:30,360
Speaker 1: you almost won. You're gonna win a division, You'll have

1968
