I am mom 22 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: Gonna's used the word obviously twice. I am pointing out 23 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 1: the obvious. Uh sass. If you're listening, love you, wish 24 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,040 Speaker 1: you the best to get better soon so I don't 25 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: have to keep doing it because I had too much 26 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 1: on my plate. Quaite too much on my plate. We're 27 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: like Greg the way we are asking people for help. Now. 28 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: We used to be once, by the time, the most 29 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,759 Speaker 1: self contained organism in this entire media group. We never 30 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 1: asked anybody on the show. We never had guests, we 31 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: never had anything. Now we're like hitting up all our buddies. Uh. 32 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: And I think they're starting to get a little annoyed. Right. 33 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: We have Claibon and Weiss are on the A t 34 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: N broadcast this week. People should check that out Saturday 35 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: mornings or Saturday afternoons in the UK. But yeah, it 36 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,919 Speaker 1: is that balance of like, should we ask Claiban two 37 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: or three times to help us this week? Let's let's 38 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: get money to take one of those Claiban spots. It's 39 00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,040 Speaker 1: it's a delicate balance, right. It's it's a because I 40 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: want to be invited, I want to be wanted. I 41 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: want you to want me. But at the same time, 42 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: I also don't really want to do it. But but 43 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 1: it's but it truly is, you know, it's the scales 44 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: of justice, and there's a there is a balance, like 45 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 1: there is there is a time, let's say two weeks 46 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: from now, if I hit up money again, it's gonna 47 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: be like zeuster. I wish you could do it. It's 48 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: just at the time, my time is too valuable right now. 49 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: I just can't listen help you out. All I'll say 50 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: is always ask, because you know I don't care if 51 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: I offend you by saying no, So feel free to 52 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: always ask. Um. I know this from the hip. This 53 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: is meaty. I know this is a Meadi show because 54 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: I listen. I love the Around the NFL podcast, so 55 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: I know how how big this one is. It's going 56 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 1: to take a little while to get through all this, 57 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: and I don't like playing the grab bass to start 58 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 1: the pod. That just seems like such a you know, 59 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: BS pod cliche, like hey, we're fun, loving god, we've 60 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: been doing it for eight years and you're you're gonna 61 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: do it now. I'm just gonna get and you don't, 62 00:02:55,320 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: with all due respect, before before you insult somebody, you 63 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: you had to carry the last show because Dan's voice 64 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 1: was blown out. Yet you guys never shared why his 65 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: voice was blown out. I didn't know. I didn't ask, 66 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,239 Speaker 1: to be honest, Why don't you tell everyone, Dan why 67 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,799 Speaker 1: your voice was blown out? All right? I will, and 68 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: I do appreciate you putting me on the spot. I 69 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: just figured it was the you know, vocal content. Wait 70 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: do you hear this one? Wait? Do you hear this one? 71 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 1: I blew out my voice on a Saturday afternoon. Come on, 72 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: spit it out there because gian Carlos Stanton hit a 73 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: grand slam over the Green Monster and down Streight. It 74 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: was I mean, it's a disgrace. It is a disgrace. 75 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: I know something big must have happened, because Dan knows 76 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: I don't really follow the baseball so much anymore, but 77 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: he did send me what I suspect was like a 78 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: half drunk text about like how my dad is feeling 79 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: about it? And I was like, I don't know what 80 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: are you even talking about my dad? Like I wasn't 81 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: I didn't, I wasn't aware of the game at that point. 82 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: But you know, it's a big moment. As I told 83 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: that text, that was the first one all season act 84 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: like a professional. Yeah, well no, that was a learning, 85 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: learning lesson. In fact, I woke up Sunday morning and 86 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: I was like, usually it's just it's if I have 87 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: a big screaming sports event, which is good because sometimes 88 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: no it's not. How about we don't scream their exactly 89 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: they're on TV. This is exactly first one. All right, 90 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: choir boy. The one thing I don't like about working 91 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: in sports is all the people like me that grew 92 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 1: up loving sports all of a sudden are too cool 93 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,039 Speaker 1: for sports, Like why would you ever cheer? Why would 94 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: you ever get excited for a sporting event? I still 95 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,239 Speaker 1: love my teams. I love the Yankees, I love the Nicks, 96 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,479 Speaker 1: I love the Jets, obviously, and sometimes it gets away 97 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 1: from me, and that was there's just a I will 98 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: learn from it. But also it's just that's also why 99 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: I've worked in this business, because I'm passionate about it. 100 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: Part of me is embarrassed for you, and part of 101 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: me envies you because I am one of those too 102 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: cool to cheer for teams guys, and I have I'm 103 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: not too cool. I get into it. It's more at 104 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: this point like him as tennis and basketball leavel not 105 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: not football as much, but it's more you want to 106 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: be an example for your kids. I was worried, like 107 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,479 Speaker 1: my dad was visiting. I mentioned that, and I was 108 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: praying the Patriots would stomp the Jets because which thank 109 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: you for the context now if he had left at 110 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: that point, but I didn't want him screaming and swearing 111 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: during a bad Patriots game in front of my in 112 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: front of my boy. That's bad. It's bad. That's bad. 113 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: That's good for that for the boys. I definitely do 114 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: watch the swearing. I don't do that, but it's hard 115 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 1: not to get excited ed s. I knocked it off 116 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 1: the rails, and I will.

That's right. I declared vengeance on Money 120 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 1: last week. That's right. When I'm in the makeup chair 121 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: and it's hot down there, they haven't figured out the 122 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: air conditions.

We'll be joining me, Brad Spiceler, Cincinnati 142 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 1: native Chris Westling, Buddy, there we go, and um the 143 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 1: Chris Westling Desert Consigliari will be talking Bengals and number 144 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: one draft pick Waterbacks that's coming up later tonight to 145 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: look for that. Let's start first before we get into 146 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: our draft, and Money will participate in the draft, and 147 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: maybe that will be how we get Shooks games sorted out, 148 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: and maybe Patrick will figure all that out without Mark here. 149 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 1: But before any of that, let's start with the primetime games. 150 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: And where else to start but Sunday Night football and Greg, 151 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: you've you've I know, I know how you are. Greg. 152 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: You have been avoiding this conversation on the show as 153 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: long as you can. And he did a good job, 154 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: and I was distracted with other things too, so I 155 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: didn't really get a chance to drill in on it. 156 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: But this is it. This is what you've been fearing 157 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: your whole life. Tom Brady is coming to Foxboro, and 158 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: not only coming to Foxborough. This is something I feel 159 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: like you brought up last May. You're like and if 160 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: you figure out, you see where his numbers are, it 161 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: might line up that he could break Drew brees is 162 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: passing record. They said it exactly for this purpose. They 163 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: So you had mentioned that I remember a few maybe 164 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: a couple of months back, and that's exactly where we 165 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: are now. After Brady went over for for four hundred 166 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: last week against the Rams. So not only is Tom 167 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: Brady coming back to Foxborrow with Gronk by the way, 168 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: he has a chance to set the record and that's 169 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 1: a stop down the game situation. I guess I think 170 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: it was for Drew Brees. I don't think so on 171 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 1: the road and they're not gonna well, this isn't any 172 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,559 Speaker 1: road game, Greg, And that's what this is all about, 173 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: because not only is Brady back, and you know he 174 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: wants to deliver a whipping on his old coach, it's 175 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: at a vulnerable time for the Patriots, like all of 176 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: the fan stuff and the Brady returns and the relationship stuff. 177 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: I almost don't wanna dive into it much. And yet 178 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: the Patriots are so boring right now as a football team, 179 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: and the Bucks are sort of what they are right now. 180 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: They're a one dimensional team that doesn't really run the ball. 181 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 1: Well that's at this point overrated defensively, and you can 182 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: move the ball against I think it might be Mac 183 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 1: jones best chance to make some plays is this game, 184 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: because they're so Boomer bust um that I and this 185 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: Patriots team a little boring right now. It's a good 186 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: it's not a great defense. They're a totally disappointing offensive line. 187 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: It's a station to station offense. But it gets kind 188 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 1: of back to the Tom Brady of So it's crazy 189 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: that he's returning to New England not just as a 190 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: Super Bowl champion, but as arguably the best quarterback in 191 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: the league. And it gets to where Brady was in 192 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: I went to look at their rank, his ranking on 193 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: the QB Index end of the year. It's a good 194 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: it's a good field tenth and eighteen, fourteenth and nineteen. 195 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: And I think about those Patriots teams and I think 196 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 1: how lame they were at the skill positions. And I 197 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 1: look at this team again, and I watched them last 198 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 1: weekendst the Saints, and I was like, this is another 199 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,559 Speaker 1: lame Patriots offense, especially at the skill positions. And it's 200 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 1: almost like Brady always made those skill positions look better 201 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 1: than they really are. And they tried to make some 202 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: signings this offseason and they'll probably get better this year. 203 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: But it's it's very similar to me, except now you've 204 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 1: got a rookie quarterback running instead of one of the 205 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: greatest ever. Well, you know, I I don't know if 206 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: it was you guys, but it seemed like consensus was, oh, 207 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: just you know, think back to those early oots. That's 208 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: the way this is gonna look. Dominant defense, dominant offensive line. 209 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: They're signing Hunter Henry and John hu Smith to be there, 210 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 1: Rob Ronkowski and Aaron Hernandez, and that's gonna help out 211 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 1: Mac Jones with which throws to the middle of the field. 212 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 1: I think we're still waiting for it, you know where 213 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 1: I think you said it best. You know, look, Damian 214 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,199 Speaker 1: Harris look great in week one, right, I mean outside 215 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 1: of that fumble, It's like, Okay, this is this is 216 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 1: what we anticipated. Is their sizzle. Not really a lot, 217 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: but you can win games this way. And Bill Belichick, 218 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: you know, and and his ability to coach and and 219 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: to help on those margins, the inches that you have 220 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,439 Speaker 1: to account for. That that gets you twenty one to 221 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 1: eighteen wins or twenty four to one wins. And I 222 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,679 Speaker 1: just don't know if Mac Jones and the offense is 223 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: good at it's different, is different from two thousand five. 224 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,719 Speaker 1: You've got to score points. I mean, they're better offensively 225 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: than we're when Tom Brady right starter in oh one already, 226 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 1: that's how bad that offense was one of the worst offenses. 227 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 1: That's the thing is it's a different era. It's like 228 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: they're trying to play to a different era and their 229 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: defense is not that good. They've played three pretty poor 230 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 1: quarterbacks in a row. I think up front they've been 231 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: dominated until last week. They were okay. On the defensive line, 232 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: they're an average two maybe better than average offense defense, 233 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: but that doesn't get you very far. There's a lot 234 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: of those and I don't think it's gonna get you 235 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: many stops against Tom Brady. So I do think it's 236 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 1: interesting because at the end of the Brady era in 237 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: New England, they their skill positions had dried up, and 238 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: we were told it was you know, they had some 239 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: roster maneuvering that made it difficult to get better. This offseason, 240 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 1: they went out of the way and spent, like we said, 241 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 1: Hunter Henry Johns, remember all the hype about that when 242 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: they came in Nelson Agilare, which was a signing that 243 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: got and and you're not seeing this and Damien Harrison. 244 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: You know, okay, they can run the football and Damien Harrison. 245 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 1: Then you read about Damien Harris can't pass protect. So 246 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: that's why may he's not getting on the fields as 247 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: much as again And now now James White is out 248 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:05,679 Speaker 1: of the lineup for the season, most likely with the 249 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: hip injury. And I guess this is my kind of 250 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 1: last point on this, Greg that um isn't a little 251 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,079 Speaker 1: bit ironic, Greg that just as above the treetops, now 252 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 1: you know what? You know what's not rain on your 253 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,719 Speaker 1: wedding thing? No, that is not not Atlantas kind of 254 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: blew that one world before. But um, I have bad luck. 255 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 1: I had some pie on my face for my hashtag 256 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: gradual decline prediction of Brady and the late teens. Um, 257 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 1: But guess what didn't It turned out it was the Patriots, Yes, 258 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: that ultimately mis evaluated their own guy. And I think 259 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 1: it's just telling that the best quarterback in the league, 260 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: arguably two one, is back in New England now where 261 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: this didn't have to be this way. I guess he 262 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: could have been Derek Jeter with the Iggas, could have 263 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: spent his whole career there. We're not relitigating this, but 264 00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 1: it is. It is a part of the story that 265 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,199 Speaker 1: he remained great and the Patriots didn't have the foresight 266 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: to see that or make the relationship what it needed 267 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: to be, and there's no way around it. That's part 268 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: of this game. They they've they've been handling this well, 269 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,200 Speaker 1: Belichick and Brady publicly very well. But the part where 270 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: Belichick was like, well I didn't want him to leave, 271 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: It's like come on, right, It's like, come on, I 272 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 1: mean to be fair, no one wanted Tom Brady, including 273 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,319 Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He got paid about the same 274 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 1: amount of money as Teddy Bridgewater as a free agent. 275 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,559 Speaker 1: The entire NFL could have come in and given him 276 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: some money, and no one wanted to give him money. 277 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: They gave him basically minimum salary, and even the Bucks 278 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,199 Speaker 1: were like, now we're not gonna go off that, We're 279 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,079 Speaker 1: not gonna go above that. Charges wanted him, wanted him, 280 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: but no one wanted to No one believed that he 281 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: was a difference making quarterback, or they wouldn't have offered 282 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 1: him a lower salary than Derek. But that's missing the point. 283 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: That's my point Isntory. It should have known. These other 284 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: teams didn't have access to Brady, so they're seeing from 285 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 1: the outside it looks like he's getting old. New England 286 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,200 Speaker 1: wasn't able to see that This guy could still will 287 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: be incredible if you just get things fixed around him 288 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: and treat him like the legend that he is, not 289 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: like just another guy that's in your life. If that 290 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 1: would get old, I don't. I don't mean that. I 291 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,080 Speaker 1: don't want this to be hot taking, but I know 292 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 1: it's going to come out that way. To me. This 293 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 1: this is so not a big deal, Like it really 294 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 1: is not. The guy won the freaking Super Bowl, he 295 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 1: was one of the he was the best quarterback in 296 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: the playoffs. He's one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. 297 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 1: This is nothing. This game against Bill Belichick him. Yeah, 298 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 1: I think just in general it's it is for this week. 299 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: But in the scheme of things, you know what I mean, 300 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 1: Like it's I think it means a lot to him. 301 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: But he's saying it's gonna be It's gonna mean a 302 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 1: lot to Belcheck. It is fast, and he just says 303 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: that someone who loves football to see what he tries 304 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: to do to stop them, because they are traditionally like 305 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: a man to man type of defense. I don't think 306 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 1: they got you know, they've been played more zone this year. 307 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 1: I don't think they have. Um, the guys, they really 308 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: missed Stephan Gilmour this week to to go man to man. 309 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: They they you would think they would adopt what the 310 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 1: Rams tried do and what teams try to do now, 311 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: which is just like put two safeties back there, make 312 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: them worked out up and down the field as slowly 313 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 1: as possible, and hope he makes a mistake or someone 314 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 1: else does, which happened last week. Gronk had a couple 315 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: of key drops. There's a couple offensive wine issues, and 316 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: they ended up scoring that many touchdowns. I am fascinated 317 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: to see from like a football angle, But I also 318 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 1: I'm annoyed by the Patriots fans who have been so 319 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 1: spoiled by the greatest run in NFL history, and all 320 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: they can do is complain and wine about it. And 321 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: I get it, like you, you wish you kept Tom Brady. 322 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: I don't think that Tom Brady on these teams would 323 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 1: have been the same time Brady, But just like, have 324 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 1: some gratitude, I mean, just stop complaining about every let 325 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 1: me we gotta move on. But I do want to 326 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 1: ask you one question, Greg, what is in your mind 327 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: best case scenario for Sunday night in terms of how 328 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: Brady plays with the score is you know, give it 329 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: what I mean, they can win the game. It's the 330 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: NFL and the Bucks. Of what would would you like 331 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: it to be? Let's say it's not never gonna happen, 332 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: but thirty five three and Belichick schemes up Brady and 333 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 1: destroys him. Would you want there? Do you want Brady 334 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: to play well, have a nice moment in Boro back 335 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: there and Patriots still win? Obviously? What would you rather? 336 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 1: I'm just out of curiosity. No, I don't want Brady 337 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 1: to be embarrassed. I don't want the crowd's not gonna 338 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: boo him. But it would really bother me if if 339 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: they did boo him, or if they went against him. 340 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 1: I think it's the other way that this is. This 341 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: is a game where you expect the Bucks to win big. 342 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: I think there's been a mutiny building among a lot 343 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 1: of Patriots fans who have kind of become Bucks fans 344 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: and Brady fans. And the NBC is showing these ads 345 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 1: where it's saying it's like we're against it. It's like, 346 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: I don't think that's really Boston. I think a lot 347 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: of them are like our friends Burke, and they're very conflicted. 348 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: They've been loving watching Brady so have I because how 349 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 1: can you not live Tom Brady if you're Patriots fan? 350 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 1: And uh, they're they're gonna kind of like jump ship 351 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: when the Bucks drop a hammer on the Patriots. And 352 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: that's why I'm locking it up for the buck. I 353 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: can't believe you doing that. I mean, if I've got 354 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: to go oh at three and just be a total mess, 355 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: I might as well make the pick that for the show. 356 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,640 Speaker 1: If the Patriots win, it's good for the show. You're 357 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: coming year old buttocks there because you're oh and three 358 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 1: and now you're saying you're doing the pick for the show, 359 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,120 Speaker 1: But you gotta do the pick for yourself. Greg. It's 360 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 1: a good lock though. I mean, that's the Bucks coming 361 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 1: off a disappointing loss. We gotta move Monday night football. 362 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 1: It would be faster on everything. Also, James, the offensive 363 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: line is so terrible and James White being out for 364 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 1: the season kills him. He was their best player, and 365 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,880 Speaker 1: as I said, Damian Harris reports that he's not. He's 366 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 1: failing in his coverage, I mean, in his blocking assignments. 367 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 1: That's why he was the best case scenario is it's 368 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: a shootout and Mac Jones looks good and I think 369 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: that's possible, all right, speaking of shootouts, Money, you will 370 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 1: be on the call across the sidewalk. That's so far, 371 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 1: so far stadium for Raiders at Chargers. This is a 372 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,639 Speaker 1: great game, not a good game. A great game between 373 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: a three and o Charger Chargers team and a two 374 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,640 Speaker 1: and one three and o Raiders team and a two 375 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 1: and one Chargers team that everyone is excited about it. 376 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 1: You know who's more excited than anyone, Money, Brandon Staley. 377 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 1: I love the way Brandon Staley goes out of his 378 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 1: way now back to back weeks, once after a loss, 379 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: once after win. The best player on that football field 380 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: is our quarterback. And I know Mike Williams got loved 381 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,119 Speaker 1: this week too, But he's letting everyone know both and 382 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,159 Speaker 1: how he calls games and what he says to the media. 383 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,120 Speaker 1: I have something really special here and that's gonna take 384 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,440 Speaker 1: us far. And he backs it up, you know, I mean, 385 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,400 Speaker 1: I think that's the difference, right. You can, you can 386 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,959 Speaker 1: say it all you want, but he backs it up. 387 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,400 Speaker 1: He wants the ball in justin Herbert's hands. He wants 388 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,679 Speaker 1: it with six and a half minutes left against the 389 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 1: Washington Football team he wants it with forty six seconds 390 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 1: and a fourth and nine against the Kansas City Chiefs. 391 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 1: And so you don't think that was just about playing 392 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. You think this is sort of what they're 393 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,920 Speaker 1: gonna be letting justin her I wanted to ask you, Yeah, 394 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 1: I think it's a message. I think it is a 395 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 1: message because look and and I don't think he would 396 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 1: say this. This is my own interpretation. I think the 397 00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 1: last four years and I love I really, I really do. 398 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: I loved having Anthony Lean as a head coach. He 399 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 1: is as good a dude as you could be around 400 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,719 Speaker 1: and was always very forthcoming. But I just think he 401 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 1: coached scared not the right word. He coached against the clock, 402 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 1: and I think against situational. With situational football from ten 403 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: years ago, it's like, hey, milk the clock bank him, 404 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,120 Speaker 1: used their time outs and we'll win by two. And man, 405 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 1: this team for four years, you know the numbers. Nobody 406 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: lost more one score games, nobody lost more three point games. 407 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 1: And I think it was deflating that that this team 408 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: had an identity crisis of well, we're just waiting for 409 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 1: the bad thing to happen. Because so so I think 410 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 1: just saying, like the next you know he's special. He is. 411 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: He is a very very special player. There are throws 412 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: that he has made through three games this year. Particularly 413 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 1: one that I would point to is go back to 414 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,400 Speaker 1: the Dallas game and watch that freaking rope he threw 415 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,360 Speaker 1: to Keenan Allen thirty yards down the field. It was layered, 416 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,119 Speaker 1: it was a laser and I cannot believe it is 417 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,159 Speaker 1: completed um And I think that's just an indication. I 418 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 1: think Brandon Staley knows one like a couple of plays 419 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,399 Speaker 1: before that got overturned that was forty five yards on 420 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 1: the line. Never seen it. That's what I'm talking about. 421 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,880 Speaker 1: One to Keenan it was forty five yards on the line. 422 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: I got called back professionally, do you pinch us up? 423 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 1: Because starting Lassie's and it was Tyrod Taylor and Justin Herbert, 424 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 1: who was not a slam dunk prospect. A lot of 425 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,399 Speaker 1: people were talking down on him. To now be walking 426 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,880 Speaker 1: into it feels like a Dan Reno type talent here. 427 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: I mean, you guys know, I'm a college football fan 428 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 1: and I watched Justin Herbert and Oregon and this is 429 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,199 Speaker 1: not what we saw. This is this is not how 430 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 1: Mario Christo Ball plays football. He plays not to turn 431 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,120 Speaker 1: the ball over. He believes in his defense, his old line, 432 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 1: in his run game, he should be taken. He he 433 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 1: really absolutely should. He absolutely should. They should have won 434 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 1: a champ national championship if he was able to cut 435 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 1: him loose instead of the way he chose to use him. 436 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 1: So I didn't know what the Chargers were getting when 437 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,439 Speaker 1: they drafted him at number six. I thought they were 438 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 1: getting the guy that I saw at Oregon that would 439 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: you know if his guy wasn't wide open? He talked 440 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,360 Speaker 1: and ran and that doesn't work of the NFL. And man, 441 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,160 Speaker 1: it's turned out to be as special a quarterback as 442 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:01,879 Speaker 1: we have in the league. Right. Well, we'll get to 443 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:03,680 Speaker 1: the We've talked a lot of Raiders and this is 444 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 1: still a Raiders the question. But we don't have money here, 445 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: So I just want to ask because you have a 446 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 1: good sense of this team facing this Raiders offense where 447 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 1: four receivers have over two hundred yards receiving. Already, car 448 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,120 Speaker 1: is playing I think even better than Herbert. They're they're 449 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,880 Speaker 1: both like top five level cours, playing the best ever 450 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: played in his career. He's playing this well despite a 451 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: pretty bad offensive line and no running game, which is 452 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 1: which is wild. How do you feel about this Chargers 453 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:32,159 Speaker 1: defense after three weeks? And like how they match up here? 454 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,399 Speaker 1: Because I don't know what I think about the Chargers defense. 455 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: So here's what my Here's the way I described the 456 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 1: Chargers defense is they are operating exactly how they want 457 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: to and people are saying, you can't stop the run 458 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,200 Speaker 1: and four hundred yards and four hundred and fifty yards 459 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: here they figured it out, Like I think, this is 460 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: exactly what they want to do. You've got explosive offenses 461 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: in the Chiefs and the Cowboys. Cowboys just put up 462 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 1: a forty burger and they dropped twenty nine on the Bucks. 463 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: What do they do against the Chargers? They needed a 464 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 1: fifty six yard field goal at zero's to get to twenty. 465 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 1: The Chief's ravage in thirty five a game, what do 466 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 1: they do? They scored twenty four and they turn the 467 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: ball over four times. This is what they want to do. 468 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: It's you are not this has become a league of 469 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: explosive place you are not going to get your explosive. 470 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 1: The Raiders are like pretty much the number one team. 471 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 1: They're almost making me regret picking the Raiders in this game. Yeah, 472 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:26,439 Speaker 1: So that's what I think you're gonna see is you're 473 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,120 Speaker 1: gonna see a bunch of yards and people are gonna 474 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:30,880 Speaker 1: be like, man, I don't know, is this defense for real? 475 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 1: And then you're not going to see a lot of 476 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 1: points and that's what they want. That's how they're going 477 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 1: to play the game. We have an inner office raffle 478 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 1: for these games at so far Greg one last week, 479 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 1: by the way, is that right? Yeah, let's uh connect 480 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,159 Speaker 1: some dots about that. You're going to the game on 481 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 1: It was the butts game, but I gave him to Lakisa, 482 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 1: so Lakisa got to go with Beautiful. So I figured 483 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:51,920 Speaker 1: there might be you know, the fix might be in. 484 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 1: So come at me now for that money. Now, I'm sorry. 485 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: Um I put in the raffle for tomorrow's Chargers game. 486 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 1: I would love to see. It's gonna be a foot out. 487 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 1: The Raiders were talking about their offense eight straight games 488 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,679 Speaker 1: with four total yards. That was the longest active streak. 489 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 1: The Vikings are the next closest with four. They are 490 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,439 Speaker 1: flirting with history if they if they do it again, 491 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 1: they tie the two thousand seven Patriots nine So and 492 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: now Josh Jacobs, but I think there's a great chance 493 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: they will. I think they'll get their yards. It's just 494 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 1: back um potentially for this game as well. Whatever that means. 495 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: I don't know what Josh. What is Josh Jacob. Well, 496 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 1: he's supposed to be their lead back and he returned 497 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 1: to practice on Thursday, so that can only give them 498 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,879 Speaker 1: a little more balance. This is a great game, Picket. 499 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,440 Speaker 1: You said you you picked the Raiders the Raiders on 500 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 1: the website com because you know I'll take the Chargers. 501 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: But I do think the Chargers win this game. To me, 502 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 1: it's it's Max Crosby versus Storm Norton. I mean every 503 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,679 Speaker 1: it's so funny every team the three weeks that the 504 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 1: Chargers have played them, they start with Chase Young on 505 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,439 Speaker 1: Rashawn Slater. After one series, they're like, no other side, 506 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,400 Speaker 1: and they dart with Chris Jones on Reshawns. Later two 507 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 1: snaps and they're like, nope, other side, and they're gonna 508 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: start with Max crosbyond Reshaws later. I'm sure to see 509 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 1: if he can get the advantage there and they can 510 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,440 Speaker 1: try to crack that code and they're gonna move to 511 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,439 Speaker 1: the other side. So it's gonna be Max Crosby versus 512 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: Storm Norton, and it's gonna be Joey Boss against Alex Favorites. 513 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 1: The Chargers a little surprised, so that felt like a 514 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 1: little too rich for me. And then I just went 515 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 1: the whole the whole month, all right, So get ready, 516 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 1: this is a fun one. I know. We got to 517 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: speed it up. Let's now the primetime games right before 518 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: we get to the draft. Let's take a break. Right 519 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 1: here we go, we're back draft time. I got the 520 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 1: first overall pick, and here we're gonna start. You gotta 521 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 1: let's be obvious. Here Chardins at Rams. Love it. Great 522 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:59,120 Speaker 1: a f C West game on Monday night. Great NFC 523 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:05,360 Speaker 1: West game here. Um, the Rams to me seem like 524 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 1: a team that's just in a really, really good place 525 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball. The Cardinals, I can't. 526 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: I'm not sure what to make sense of the Cardinals 527 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 1: right now. Greg, I see them. Obviously, they're playing winning football. Um, 528 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,400 Speaker 1: but do you see them at the level of these 529 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 1: other top teams in the NFC right now or do 530 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 1: they still step beneath that. No, they need to prove that, 531 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 1: especially on both sides of the all, they've been run 532 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 1: over too easily the last few weeks, dominated by Minnesota, 533 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 1: sort of not embarrassing, but just shocking that J. J. 534 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,120 Speaker 1: Watt and this group could steam roll. And then when 535 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 1: the Jaguars were running on them really well last week, 536 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, maybe this is a problem. So 537 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 1: normally you would expect Sean McVeigh the outside zone. Hey, 538 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,479 Speaker 1: let's attack that. And so I'm kind of curious if 539 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,199 Speaker 1: that's still part of the Rams arsenal, because the the 540 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 1: craziest thing about the Rams so far is that they 541 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 1: don't look anything like the Rams used to. They called 542 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 1: three play action as last week that used to be 543 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,120 Speaker 1: like the basis of their offense. There's no outside zone. 544 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,159 Speaker 1: They don't even try to run the ball there. We 545 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 1: are a dropped back shotgun. Let Matthew Stafford throw outside 546 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,359 Speaker 1: the numbers team and it's almost like Sean mcveigh's like 547 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,959 Speaker 1: flex in a little bit, being like, see, I just 548 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 1: did that because I had to, and we don't have 549 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,439 Speaker 1: to anyone. And remember, you know, it wasn't even was 550 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 1: I think it was the Bears right that did it 551 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:26,120 Speaker 1: before the Patriots, or was it the Lions Bears initially 552 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 1: and so came up with the recipe to stop them. 553 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,959 Speaker 1: And and now it's like, well, here we go again. 554 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,680 Speaker 1: You don't have the code anymore because I got Matthew Stafford, 555 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,119 Speaker 1: and they may be taking some teams, especially Tampa by 556 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: surprise that it was just like totally gone. Their old 557 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,680 Speaker 1: lines playing great, you know, And that's always been a 558 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 1: big question because they have no depth there, and there 559 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 1: is there. The margins are so slim at that at 560 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:51,640 Speaker 1: that position group and it's held up Matthew Stafford looks fantastic. 561 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 1: They've got three, i mean four, three unique pass catching options. 562 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 1: Cooper Cups playing the best of any wide ever in football. 563 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 1: Robert Woods is such a great blocking wide receiver and 564 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,479 Speaker 1: just does everything well. And obviously you saw last week 565 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 1: with the Sean Jackson. I think Jefferson, Jefferson, jack Jefferson 566 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 1: and Higbee are perfect role. And I just think Sean 567 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,640 Speaker 1: McVeigh is, like, It's why so many people like him. 568 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 1: He's just a kid. He's like, man, I call this stuff, 569 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,400 Speaker 1: Let's go play with it. I got a new toy. 570 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: Let's go play with the toys. You don't sounds like 571 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,400 Speaker 1: you don't think the Cardinals are Uh No, I don't 572 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 1: like them in this game though. And I'll tell you 573 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 1: one matchup that really jumps out to me is and 574 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 1: I know that the Cardinals are getting a real impact 575 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 1: from Ron del Moore, their second round pick, and Christian 576 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 1: Kirk made some plays last week. But DeAndre Hopkins is 577 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 1: not right now. He's got that rib issue. He wasn't 578 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,479 Speaker 1: a dynamic player last week. I know he had one 579 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 1: big play called back, but um, he's gonna be up 580 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:52,879 Speaker 1: against Dalen Ramsey. So if Hopkins is erased by Ramsey, well, 581 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think we're gonna see a lot 582 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 1: of Christian Kirk Jalen Ramsey because they think so. Yeah. 583 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 1: I mean, he's been playing slot more than anything through 584 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 1: three games, mes and Kirk has been lethal. I mean 585 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 1: that's kind of been the You're gonna be agree and 586 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 1: had a little juice last week. They are they are 587 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 1: dangerous offensively, I mean they are good. I just don't 588 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 1: think they're gonna be able to keep up. And you're 589 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 1: you're gonna be asking a lot a lot of Kyler 590 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 1: Murray here and and perhaps you can deliver it. But 591 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,640 Speaker 1: I like the Rams I did too. I Again, I'm 592 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,720 Speaker 1: confused by they drafted Isaiah Simmons in the top ten 593 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:23,919 Speaker 1: and then Zaven Collins in the top fifteen, and they 594 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 1: can't play those two guys together. They're kind of getting 595 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,120 Speaker 1: They tried to trade Jordan Hicks in the off season, 596 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,119 Speaker 1: and he actually is playing more. I just think they 597 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 1: have some issues up front, and you have to have 598 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 1: your defense really on its ps and queues against the 599 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 1: Rams or else. I don't think you're just gonna get 600 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 1: in a shootout, and that's hard to money. You were 601 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 1: up next, al Right, I am going to take. It's tough. 602 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 1: It is because there's so many good games. We just 603 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Browns and Vikings. Okay, okay, this is 604 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 1: a good one. But okay, Stefanski back in Minnesota. And 605 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 1: part of this is for me to pat myself on 606 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 1: the back because on our Power Ranking show, we had 607 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 1: to do a you watch every Tuesday, every Tuesday noon. 608 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 1: Specific favorite moment of the week is when we get 609 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 1: I get lunch with like Dan on Tuesday, and there's 610 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 1: Dan and the huge screen in our in our cafeteria, 611 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 1: and sometimes like I'll look at that guy up there. 612 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 1: I'll be talking to Greg and the TV be behind me, 613 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: and then and Greg's just lost, like just like a grimace, 614 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:34,800 Speaker 1: like what like are always his broadcast husband is chooting 615 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 1: on him, more like you are staring and you're just 616 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 1: getting lost in your own eyes. I just like, Wow, 617 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: that guy, that guy man, look at that TV magic 618 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 1: up there, go ahead. You know when everybody was freaking 619 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 1: out about the Vikings, Oh, Kyle Rudolph taking a shot 620 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 1: at at Mike Zimmer, Hey Rudolph, shut up, shut there. 621 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 1: You take a shot at Zim when the Vikings were 622 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 1: nothing before he got he drafts a bunch of defensive backs. 623 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 1: I can back he was doing it before anybody else, saying, look, 624 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,480 Speaker 1: this league is all about corners now, and he was 625 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 1: just loading up on him. You know. Good for Zim 626 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 1: for figuring that out. I don't like hearing that kind 627 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:10,960 Speaker 1: of stuff from you, Rudolf. You got it where the 628 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 1: Giants had now though you know they're scattered throughout the league, 629 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 1: but you know what, you gotta take your swings and 630 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 1: figure out which one of them. I'm so listen. I 631 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 1: love I want to get to the Vikings a little bit, 632 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 1: but I love that the Browns have a real challenge here. 633 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 1: I want to figure out, like we mentioned, the power rankings. 634 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 1: I've I've stuck them at number eight and just left 635 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 1: them there where I think four or five straight weeks 636 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 1: now because they're kind of doing exactly what you expect. Um. 637 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 1: They hung really tight with the Chiefs and and Casey 638 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 1: got beat took care of business against Houston and Chicago. 639 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,080 Speaker 1: There are moments in both those wins are like or 640 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 1: performances like yes, this team could be dominant in the 641 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: right spot. But also moments in both of those games 642 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 1: are it's like, all right, guys, let's your elite right, 643 00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 1: let's see you play that way. So now you go 644 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 1: to Minnesota to face the Vikings team that could easily 645 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,600 Speaker 1: be three and oh and have an offense very difficult 646 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 1: to stop. This Greg is a Brown's test that I've 647 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 1: been waiting for um since Week one. Great game. Uh, 648 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 1: there's sort of two teams that look in the mirror 649 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 1: at each other. I think right now, Kirk Cousins is 650 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 1: the slightly better version of Baker Mayfield. We put that 651 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 1: comp on him last year on this show. I think 652 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 1: that right now they're similar type players. Cousins is just 653 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,760 Speaker 1: playing at a really high level, and to me, there's 654 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 1: a it may sound crazy because but I don't know 655 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 1: it doesn't. I mean, I think there's a pretty sizeable 656 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 1: gap in receiver groups. You know, for for what Kirk 657 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 1: has thrown to and what Baker is thrown. You'll just 658 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 1: see Jarvis disappear in games. I don't know if Odell 659 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 1: Beckham's back yet. He looks good. Jarvis is out this week. 660 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 1: But you're right, so get your county on Donovan, people's 661 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 1: exact county on Hooper. But you have that running game 662 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 1: and that's where like the mirror thing really matches up. 663 00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 1: I mean, Madison did last week, and and I the 664 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 1: Seahawks were the Sehawks were just terrible last week. But 665 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 1: like again, it's you said, you're looking in the mirror. 666 00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 1: The schemes the same. You know what they want to do, 667 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 1: minimize mistakes? Can the quarterback capitalize on all the attention 668 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,760 Speaker 1: we're playing, we're paying to slowing down the world. Difference 669 00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 1: is I kind of talked about how you know the 670 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 1: Rams aren't doing as much play action. The Vikings aren't 671 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 1: as much either, and they're definitely going three receivers instead 672 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 1: of two tight ends. I think losing Rudolph, you're getting 673 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 1: rid of him, and then IRV Smith got her as 674 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 1: kind of helped him outr Kyle Rudolf. That's what I'm saying, Like, 675 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 1: I think you put J. J Osborne out there and 676 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:36,960 Speaker 1: they're a little more dynamic with three receivers on the 677 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 1: field instead of the two tight ends. But I do 678 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 1: love that this game. If the Vikings lose, you thought 679 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 1: Mike Zimmer was cranky before, you don't think that ownership 680 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 1: loved Kevin Stefanski. He was there for a decade. This 681 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 1: wasn't just like, oh, I came back a little bit. 682 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 1: And in two thousand and nineteen, if the Vikings had 683 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 1: a losing record or a bad season, they were absolutely 684 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,280 Speaker 1: gonna get rid of Mike Zimmer. They were absolutely gonna 685 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 1: elevate Kevin Stefanski. The Wolves love him. It's an open secret. 686 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:06,960 Speaker 1: But you know what. The Vikings made the playoffs that 687 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 1: year and Stefanski said, bye. Everyone likes each other, they 688 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 1: respect and it's got it's got levels to it. Because 689 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:16,640 Speaker 1: I think Gary Kubiak getting there gave Stefanski basis that 690 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,920 Speaker 1: he has taken with them to Cleveland. And who's Minnesota's 691 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, Clint que Kubiak, Gary's sun forever, Mike Zimmer. 692 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 1: Mike Zimmer is a very good coach, and I like 693 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,160 Speaker 1: the guy. Like what he doesn't want to lose to 694 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,320 Speaker 1: the little guy that was his buddy. Though. I know, 695 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 1: but I thought you were intimating that they made a mistake, 696 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,680 Speaker 1: and maybe they did. I think Zimmer's very he doesn't 697 00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 1: want to lose that guy. And I think Clint Kubiak 698 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:43,960 Speaker 1: nepotism or not, is off to a good start. And 699 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what about these Vikings. Oh this is 700 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 1: dance thing this week, But I love the Vikings. Wow. 701 00:33:51,800 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 1: I love him so much that I'm gonna can't. Yeah, dude, 702 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,840 Speaker 1: I can't lock up against the Browns almost claim On 703 00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,960 Speaker 1: told Ricky earlier this week I would, but no, another 704 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,759 Speaker 1: team caught my eye and I had to go in 705 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,160 Speaker 1: another direction. But I liked the part of me. One 706 00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:15,480 Speaker 1: of the reasons why I wanted to take with my 707 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 1: number one draft pick is part of me thinks that 708 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,520 Speaker 1: this could be a total Kirk Cousins meltdown game, like 709 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 1: already hit some a couple of I don't think then 710 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:23,960 Speaker 1: are that hard to figure out. I'm curious what their 711 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,719 Speaker 1: defense will be like, but I just think they are 712 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:29,880 Speaker 1: a elite offense and so I'm giving them a slight 713 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 1: edge because I've just seen them be elite for longer 714 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,319 Speaker 1: than I've seen the Vikings being elite. Office They've been great. 715 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,319 Speaker 1: I'm so glad you guys didn't take Panthers. Cowboys Are 716 00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,279 Speaker 1: is the one game I really wanted more than any 717 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,520 Speaker 1: on this entire slate early Christian ms healthy, I would 718 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:49,200 Speaker 1: doesn't matter because if the Cowboys stomp on him, to me, 719 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:53,480 Speaker 1: that's telling. It's a great um story of what the 720 00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:55,799 Speaker 1: Cowboys are doing. And these are just two teams that 721 00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 1: I think are like new Ish because the Cowboys were away. 722 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,440 Speaker 1: This Cowboys defense is different, and the Panthers are different, 723 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 1: and so I'm fascinated by the teams that are different. 724 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:07,560 Speaker 1: The Chiefs I know who they are. I think I 725 00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:09,839 Speaker 1: kind of know who the Browns are. These are two 726 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:13,880 Speaker 1: really interesting stories. I think that Dak right now is 727 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,560 Speaker 1: so good that he's making everyone look better, even like 728 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,560 Speaker 1: future Hall of famers like Tyrone Smith. Tyron Smith is 729 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,000 Speaker 1: over the hill. It's like, now he's great again. Well 730 00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:27,200 Speaker 1: you know why Dak gotten back. You know, Zeke legitimately 731 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,520 Speaker 1: looks better. I think I've thought that since week one. 732 00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:33,120 Speaker 1: But the receivers, everyone. Even the defense looks better with 733 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:36,000 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott going up and down the field, and I 734 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:37,840 Speaker 1: just think he's playing at such a high level. I 735 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,240 Speaker 1: want to see him challenge, and I think this Panthers 736 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,560 Speaker 1: defense is an incredible challenge. Great offense beats great defense. 737 00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:45,640 Speaker 1: So I like the Cowboys, but I'm really excited to 738 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,719 Speaker 1: watch it. I'm bummed that the secondary is banged up. 739 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:50,600 Speaker 1: I would have loved to have seen J. C. Horne healthy. 740 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:52,600 Speaker 1: It just seems like that they got C. J. Henderson. 741 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:56,440 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a huge down. Yeah, he's gonnay. 742 00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I get why you make that trade for, 743 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,920 Speaker 1: you know, and I just think back to the Combine 744 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,440 Speaker 1: and that draft and how people liked C. J. Anderson 745 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:05,840 Speaker 1: more than Jeff of Couda. You know, they were a 746 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:09,600 Speaker 1: handful of those people. So he he's a supposedly he's 747 00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,200 Speaker 1: a super athlete, a little bit of a headache according 748 00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:14,040 Speaker 1: to some of his teammates. So I'm not putting that 749 00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,280 Speaker 1: out there on my own, but I would say good player, 750 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,799 Speaker 1: you know, I would say that rule is Matt rule 751 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,520 Speaker 1: is uh is someone who can who can I think 752 00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:24,520 Speaker 1: crack sort of that that code if that's what you 753 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 1: have to do. If he's got all the talent, you 754 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:27,680 Speaker 1: just got to get the head right. I do have 755 00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:30,680 Speaker 1: faith and Matt Rule. I love the past Rushman, I 756 00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,640 Speaker 1: love watching Burns. I think Reddick was a perfect, you know, 757 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,279 Speaker 1: free agent acquisition for him. Shack Thompson slowed down a 758 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,720 Speaker 1: little bit from his his tour and start there early. 759 00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:42,000 Speaker 1: But I'm with you. I think it's just a great 760 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:47,400 Speaker 1: defense versus offense matchup for those two units. The Panthers 761 00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,400 Speaker 1: keep comply, keep up in a high scoring Let me 762 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:51,960 Speaker 1: ask you a question, greg As, I was going to 763 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,520 Speaker 1: go into that direction. Where Sam Donald on the QB 764 00:36:54,640 --> 00:37:00,719 Speaker 1: and Index this week he comes in at number ulule twenties. 765 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:08,160 Speaker 1: I guess I'm gonna guess not say oh damn it 766 00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:12,600 Speaker 1: all right um for me? And again it's naughty, it's 767 00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,319 Speaker 1: a little, it's too raw. A Jet fan and a 768 00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:17,680 Speaker 1: passionate one blew out his voice rooting for his New 769 00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,759 Speaker 1: York sports team this past week. Is it's hard to 770 00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,319 Speaker 1: kind of figure out Sam Donald right now. But if 771 00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,920 Speaker 1: he goes to Dallas and gets in a shootout with 772 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:29,080 Speaker 1: DAC and he's able to move the ball without Christian McCaffrey. 773 00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,399 Speaker 1: I mean, what else do you need to see to say, oh, 774 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,960 Speaker 1: he's fixed now. He is. Maybe not a great quarterback, 775 00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,560 Speaker 1: but fun that Matt Rule is going to have success 776 00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:39,200 Speaker 1: with and they're going to continue to be He's played well. 777 00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,200 Speaker 1: I think he's been highly managed, and so I don't 778 00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,440 Speaker 1: give him as much credit as quarterbacks that have to 779 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:45,319 Speaker 1: do more. I think now we have to do more 780 00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,960 Speaker 1: because I think I'm keeping an eye on the Caroline 781 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,120 Speaker 1: offensive line in this game. I think the Cowboys win. 782 00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:52,480 Speaker 1: You know, they're they're a four and a half point favorite. 783 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,520 Speaker 1: I think they win comfortably in the end because their 784 00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:57,799 Speaker 1: offensive line, which I thought was a problem coming into 785 00:37:57,840 --> 00:37:59,799 Speaker 1: the year, and it wasn't the kind of schemed around 786 00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:02,719 Speaker 1: him the first two games. Houston got after them and 787 00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:05,000 Speaker 1: hit Darneld a lot, and so I'm keeping an eye 788 00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:06,719 Speaker 1: on that because I think if you gotta if you 789 00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,440 Speaker 1: have bad pass protection, it's gonna be hard to keep up. 790 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:11,520 Speaker 1: I would say, whatever you do, Sam, and I know 791 00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:15,840 Speaker 1: you're listening to the Around the NFL podcast, Stay away 792 00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:19,960 Speaker 1: from Trevon Diggs. Just yeah, that caught the field in half. 793 00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,520 Speaker 1: He's so good. Stay away from it. How many more 794 00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,960 Speaker 1: people in the country. Now know who's Trevon Diggs is 795 00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:28,680 Speaker 1: then like two months ago and between hard knocks and 796 00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:33,279 Speaker 1: the big games that he's every week coacious little boy, 797 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,360 Speaker 1: his son um just like kind of in broad strokes. 798 00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:39,000 Speaker 1: The Cowboys playing with a ton of confidence right now, 799 00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:42,719 Speaker 1: looking really good at home, the Panthers three and oh 800 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,000 Speaker 1: could lose and still be okay. It all kind of 801 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:48,279 Speaker 1: is to me looking like, I don't think I'm gonna 802 00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:51,440 Speaker 1: I disagree with you, Greg, I just don't said. I 803 00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:53,359 Speaker 1: just like I like it more than four and a half. 804 00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:56,080 Speaker 1: Put it that way. Caroline is number one almost across 805 00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,479 Speaker 1: the board in many defensive metrics. But again, you gotta 806 00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:00,439 Speaker 1: look at who they played, and I'm still not sold 807 00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:02,920 Speaker 1: on the Dallas defense. You know, I I think they 808 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:06,000 Speaker 1: took advantage of of Storm Norton in that Charger game. 809 00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:07,880 Speaker 1: And I think they took advantage of a beat to 810 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,920 Speaker 1: hell Eagles offensive line in that game as well. But 811 00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,920 Speaker 1: the Sam Donald of that CMC going to be and 812 00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,800 Speaker 1: by thely, get Robby Anderson involved. Let's take a break, 813 00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:22,960 Speaker 1: all right, let's go, Greg snaked. Oh great, I can 814 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,600 Speaker 1: take my number one. Late game, I had a feeling 815 00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:27,880 Speaker 1: you guys wouldn't Ravens Bronco that was gonna be my 816 00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:30,719 Speaker 1: pick yet, jerk, I mean, you're not even it's the 817 00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:32,759 Speaker 1: a f C West. I gotta pay attention to the 818 00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:34,800 Speaker 1: a f C West. It's a great game. It is 819 00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,200 Speaker 1: because we wanted to. Now you're not allowed to watch it. 820 00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:41,200 Speaker 1: Money that is, you're allowed to watch this terrible that's fine, 821 00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:45,120 Speaker 1: what a terrible development. Lamar Jackson's miss don't I agree 822 00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:47,480 Speaker 1: to come over there? So I took the Browns by 823 00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:49,640 Speaker 1: the way, because they're the Charger's opponent next week, so 824 00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:53,960 Speaker 1: it works out perfectly. I am curious to see Lamar 825 00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:56,440 Speaker 1: Jackson after he MRS practice twice this week with a 826 00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:58,840 Speaker 1: back injury. They're saying it's not serious, so I'm assuming 827 00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,240 Speaker 1: he's playing, but that's a little bit of a concern. 828 00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,240 Speaker 1: He also missed some practice last week with an illness, 829 00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:06,759 Speaker 1: which you now wonder was it actually a back injury. 830 00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,560 Speaker 1: Who knows with NFL teams the back injury from the 831 00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:14,239 Speaker 1: flip s football don't do flips into the ends. They said, yeah, 832 00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,600 Speaker 1: they said that bother hip at the time. Now it's back. 833 00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:21,200 Speaker 1: I don't know. Can the Ravens defense like come and 834 00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:24,440 Speaker 1: go get after Denver, who's missing too starting guards in 835 00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:27,600 Speaker 1: practice this week, who hasn't had a great offensive line. 836 00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:30,440 Speaker 1: Teddy got a lot of hits um and they kind 837 00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:33,040 Speaker 1: of be the group that blitz and they should feel 838 00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:36,440 Speaker 1: better about it now because there's no kJ hammler Uh 839 00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:38,040 Speaker 1: in this game or for the rest of the season. 840 00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:40,439 Speaker 1: Gonna be a while. And those are the guys who 841 00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:44,080 Speaker 1: like one quickly. But the Ravens secondary like they're not 842 00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:46,080 Speaker 1: as talented as they were either. And you gotta match 843 00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:49,839 Speaker 1: up with the Obui com and fan the tight ends, 844 00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:51,840 Speaker 1: and you still got Sutton and Patrick out there. I 845 00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:53,799 Speaker 1: just think it's a great matchup to see where these 846 00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:55,640 Speaker 1: two teams are at. I think it's about as even 847 00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:57,520 Speaker 1: as it possibly gets. I had a hard time picking 848 00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:00,200 Speaker 1: this one. Yeah, I love that that Courtland Sutton ended 849 00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:02,680 Speaker 1: everybody how good he is. You know, so much attention 850 00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,440 Speaker 1: on Jerry Judy an understandable. You know this guy like 851 00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,759 Speaker 1: the West Side play. I'm just like West New West 852 00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:10,680 Speaker 1: New right away. The old lines in issue. It's going 853 00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:13,320 Speaker 1: to be an issue this week. I know the Baltimore 854 00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,000 Speaker 1: Blitz stats are a little down, but that's because of 855 00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,000 Speaker 1: the way they were playing The Chiefs they are still 856 00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:19,279 Speaker 1: going to blitz the living hell out of you, and 857 00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,000 Speaker 1: I cannot wait to see how Teddy manages that after 858 00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:25,160 Speaker 1: the three defenses that he faced leading up to this point. 859 00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:28,280 Speaker 1: To me, this is a reminder. And I'm sorry, Greg, 860 00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,160 Speaker 1: because I know how much you love Teddy b Old, 861 00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,799 Speaker 1: Teddy too Gloves, But to me, this is gonna be 862 00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:37,200 Speaker 1: a reminder of why this guy is on his fourth team. Well, 863 00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,680 Speaker 1: the situation is not nearly as good as it looked 864 00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,319 Speaker 1: three weeks ago because of the missing personnel. That's what 865 00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:45,280 Speaker 1: I mean. There's that seven starters between offense and defense, 866 00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:47,360 Speaker 1: including four on offense, and to me, this is this 867 00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:49,719 Speaker 1: is the perfect offense to go against that defense. Right. 868 00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:52,480 Speaker 1: The strength is in the secondary. You can you can 869 00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:54,560 Speaker 1: scheme against Bond Miller just run right at them. That's 870 00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:55,799 Speaker 1: all they want to do is run the hell out 871 00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:59,680 Speaker 1: of the ball. Mhm. Him not being healthy here is 872 00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,440 Speaker 1: the biggest thing jumping out to me. If Lamar is 873 00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:06,400 Speaker 1: not Lamar, they're obviously very vulnerable here. And Denver he 874 00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:08,880 Speaker 1: finished that game though, and look, yeah that's true for 875 00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:11,040 Speaker 1: the most part. In that game, I think, and you know, 876 00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:13,239 Speaker 1: Drops will probably take a shot or something and he'll 877 00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:16,400 Speaker 1: be okay. But uh yeah, Denver after that historically soft 878 00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,399 Speaker 1: scheduled get a home game here too. So I think 879 00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:21,719 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a close game. And Vic Fausio, it's 880 00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:24,120 Speaker 1: so it's so good too, he's gonna scheme it up. 881 00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:26,480 Speaker 1: I think the bronc Wis have a shot here. Do 882 00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:28,319 Speaker 1: you think they get a shot? I think they took 883 00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,080 Speaker 1: him to win. I think they got more than a shot. 884 00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:33,759 Speaker 1: What no, you was shot to lose. Because when the 885 00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:36,880 Speaker 1: Ravens come to top wait a second, when the Ravens 886 00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:41,400 Speaker 1: roll into the mile I City Black, when Lamar Jackson 887 00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:44,000 Speaker 1: and Tyson Williams, Hey, you want to take the top 888 00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:46,200 Speaker 1: three runners away from us going into a season where 889 00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:48,399 Speaker 1: we want to run and we want to run him, 890 00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:49,879 Speaker 1: and we want to put a seal here. We want 891 00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:52,480 Speaker 1: to put a seal here. Von Miller, We're coming at you. 892 00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:54,960 Speaker 1: We're coming at you with some zone read. What are 893 00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,440 Speaker 1: you gonna do? You guess right, You're gonna guess wrong. 894 00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:04,680 Speaker 1: Ravens get one. Oh and this guy right here sitting 895 00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:12,480 Speaker 1: in Cessler's chair, it's gonna lock it all. Well, this 896 00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:14,480 Speaker 1: is big for you because you might go like one 897 00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:16,000 Speaker 1: to know or oh and one on the seat. You're 898 00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:18,799 Speaker 1: either gonna win the compet this center being last. Well, 899 00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:20,640 Speaker 1: you said you didn't want to say that. I said, 900 00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:22,080 Speaker 1: I want you to invite that. I want to be 901 00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:26,360 Speaker 1: the decider. Yeah that was Jack Palants, Jack Palance, Jack Palance, 902 00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:28,040 Speaker 1: A little Palants in you there. You gotta do some 903 00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:32,359 Speaker 1: push ups now, number one guy. I I do wonder 904 00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:35,440 Speaker 1: if the BRONC so you you mentioned Brandon Staley just 905 00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:38,520 Speaker 1: quickly on this. You know it's inviting all the teams 906 00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:40,480 Speaker 1: to right. I mean he learned it from the godfather, 907 00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:42,879 Speaker 1: Vic Fonsio. Again, they want you to run the ball. 908 00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,120 Speaker 1: They're begging you to run the ball. Normally, the Ravens 909 00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:46,799 Speaker 1: would be the one team that would be like, sure, 910 00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:49,640 Speaker 1: well we'll oblige. Are they that team right now? I 911 00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:51,239 Speaker 1: don't know. I think they are. I don't know if 912 00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:53,000 Speaker 1: they are that team right now. They weren't last week 913 00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,200 Speaker 1: against Denver, who's a good run I mean Detroit against 914 00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,200 Speaker 1: who's a good run defense, and they threw it, and 915 00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,840 Speaker 1: they threw it effectively. Lamar is leading the league and 916 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,200 Speaker 1: yards per completion and large per yards per carry, which 917 00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:05,080 Speaker 1: is just the crazy stat that like anyone can do 918 00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,480 Speaker 1: that to me. This is a that defense is really good. 919 00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:09,600 Speaker 1: Let's play it safe. Let's do what we do best 920 00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:14,319 Speaker 1: and force them to beat us. All right, that was fun. Really, 921 00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:21,399 Speaker 1: I could trust Jack, my number one guy money. Oh, 922 00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:26,680 Speaker 1: I'm up, you're up. I will take Seahawks forty good 923 00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:31,200 Speaker 1: value here. Yeah for people that um, because you know, 924 00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:32,799 Speaker 1: and I feel like we're doing a lot of West here, 925 00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:38,200 Speaker 1: so our apologies to the people about um. The the 926 00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:40,960 Speaker 1: NFC West is weird if you look at the history 927 00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:45,120 Speaker 1: of it. Kyle Shanahan always beats Sean McVeigh. Sean McVeigh 928 00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:48,880 Speaker 1: always beats Pete Carroll, and Pete Carroll always beats Kyle Shanahan. 929 00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,040 Speaker 1: It's crazy when you look at the records. I think 930 00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:54,000 Speaker 1: the Seahawks are five and one the last three years 931 00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:57,280 Speaker 1: against the forty Ninersts are like five and one against 932 00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:58,880 Speaker 1: the Rams, and the Rams are like five and one 933 00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:03,600 Speaker 1: against the Seahawks. It's the although he mostly loses, has 934 00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:08,239 Speaker 1: beaten the forty regular I think is it's strangest thing. 935 00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:12,600 Speaker 1: And um, the idea that Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson 936 00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:16,520 Speaker 1: and the reigning NFC West champions could start out one 937 00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:19,879 Speaker 1: in three, it just seems crazy to me, and that's 938 00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:22,120 Speaker 1: not the way to analyze a football game. Like you 939 00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:25,839 Speaker 1: know what, Russell Wilson will do something special and it'll 940 00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:28,279 Speaker 1: be a get right game because Jimmy Garoppolo is not 941 00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:30,120 Speaker 1: as good as people are saying they are. And Kyle 942 00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:33,319 Speaker 1: Shanahan's acting like a weirdo with not playing Trey Lance 943 00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:34,920 Speaker 1: as much as he should because he doesn't have a 944 00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:38,560 Speaker 1: running game working right now to me, like, I'm anxious 945 00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:40,960 Speaker 1: to see how these two guys play each other considering 946 00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:42,960 Speaker 1: the issues that they have right now with what they 947 00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,480 Speaker 1: want to do and what's not happening out there through 948 00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:47,759 Speaker 1: three weeks. They're both a little thin in terms of 949 00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:50,040 Speaker 1: their offense, which is surprising, Like you think of Kyle 950 00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:54,240 Speaker 1: Shannon and you think of that Falcons offense and another 951 00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:57,840 Speaker 1: another guy ahead of the times really including five guys 952 00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:00,759 Speaker 1: catching the ball at all time times, so you have 953 00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:04,680 Speaker 1: to defend them all. Seahawks have two guys, forty Niners 954 00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:07,799 Speaker 1: have two guys. They're not getting more help, Like the 955 00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:10,239 Speaker 1: San Francisco running game isn't the same as it was, 956 00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:12,200 Speaker 1: and I don't know who they are. You know, they're 957 00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:14,880 Speaker 1: best runner, as you mentioned kind of on the sideline. 958 00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,640 Speaker 1: The Seahawks said that they wanted to play up tempo 959 00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:21,080 Speaker 1: and it just went away after the first week. But 960 00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:23,640 Speaker 1: I'm with you kind of just like in Rest Sweet Trust, 961 00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:27,120 Speaker 1: in this game when it comes down to it, Seahawks 962 00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:30,319 Speaker 1: are so strange right now there. The way they're set up, 963 00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:34,239 Speaker 1: the defense was beyond hard. And I know Minnesota has 964 00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:38,080 Speaker 1: a good offense, but to not even be competitive last 965 00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:41,600 Speaker 1: week is very trump troubling. Six straight quarters. Really, I mean, 966 00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:44,680 Speaker 1: they across the board, they couldn't do anything right. They 967 00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:46,640 Speaker 1: couldn't get off the field, and third, third down, they 968 00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:50,720 Speaker 1: couldn't rush the quarterback, they couldn't stop the run. And 969 00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:53,439 Speaker 1: I would say it's a really bad situation now because 970 00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:55,600 Speaker 1: you've got the forty Niners and Kyle Shannon's gonna exploit 971 00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:56,839 Speaker 1: all that. But I just don't know what to make 972 00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:59,319 Speaker 1: sense of the forty niners on offense and the and 973 00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:02,040 Speaker 1: the other thing is we're saying, we're saying, now, what 974 00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:04,080 Speaker 1: is going on with Kyle jann and just play Tray 975 00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:06,839 Speaker 1: Lance Jimmy Garoppol. He's annoying to watch, and he is 976 00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:10,360 Speaker 1: He's super annoying to watch with all the indecision and 977 00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:12,120 Speaker 1: the padding of the ball, and you just want to 978 00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:15,120 Speaker 1: squeeze him just like throw the ball, make a read, 979 00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:19,720 Speaker 1: get rid of keep going, get rid of the ball. Jimmy, 980 00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:24,000 Speaker 1: I've said my piece, but keep rolling. But maybe if 981 00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:27,359 Speaker 1: we all agree that Kyle Shanahan's a genius, maybe there 982 00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:29,399 Speaker 1: is a reason we haven't seen Trey Lance yet. One 983 00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:31,400 Speaker 1: of the things we talked about in Money you did it. 984 00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:33,120 Speaker 1: I'm short a ton and the lead up to the 985 00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:35,760 Speaker 1: draft was how little reps he actually had in college. 986 00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:38,480 Speaker 1: Maybe they're in a tough spot because Jimmy g is 987 00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:40,759 Speaker 1: not the answer, but Trey Lance isn't ready to be 988 00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:42,839 Speaker 1: the answer. I think that's fair. And you look at 989 00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:46,120 Speaker 1: Justin Fields is first starting that kind of supports that 990 00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:49,640 Speaker 1: the notion that maybe see But I think Trey Lance 991 00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:51,680 Speaker 1: is way ahead of Justin. But just use him in 992 00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:54,479 Speaker 1: the running game? Is all ones running around? Your team 993 00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:58,640 Speaker 1: used to pack them in? Yeah, mix him in. It's like, okay, 994 00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:01,920 Speaker 1: we uh, we strike out eight straight players near the 995 00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:04,040 Speaker 1: goal line, then we bring in lands and we score score. 996 00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:05,480 Speaker 1: It's like, why don't just bring in Lands on the 997 00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:08,360 Speaker 1: first place? Skip the first thing? Well, I mean Jimmy's 998 00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:10,840 Speaker 1: h defense. There was an end zone drop. That was 999 00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:15,160 Speaker 1: pretty bad there. I agree with you overall um and 1000 00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:17,600 Speaker 1: Seattle's defense, I don't just don't know. How does it 1001 00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:21,360 Speaker 1: get better? I do? I want to say, is going 1002 00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:27,399 Speaker 1: to go one and three lines? Pretty bad? Pretty bad? 1003 00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:29,760 Speaker 1: And that there's that weird stat I think I mentioned 1004 00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:32,040 Speaker 1: on the pod or maybe the power ranks. You never 1005 00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:36,759 Speaker 1: know that they are first in UM expected points per 1006 00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:39,120 Speaker 1: drive in the first half of the season and thirty 1007 00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:41,759 Speaker 1: second in the second half. What is that about? Is 1008 00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:44,680 Speaker 1: that Shane Waldron's fault? Is that Russell Wilson's fault? Is 1009 00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:46,440 Speaker 1: that a game script thing? I don't know. Is it 1010 00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:48,960 Speaker 1: just an anomaly because it's a guy who never called 1011 00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:51,360 Speaker 1: place before. You can script it out and that's fine, 1012 00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:53,000 Speaker 1: and then when you got to make your adjustments in 1013 00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:56,600 Speaker 1: free lance. This is a big game fan bases. Even 1014 00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:58,640 Speaker 1: though the Forts would be two and two if they lost, 1015 00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:01,080 Speaker 1: if they lost two straight home game, they would also 1016 00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:04,239 Speaker 1: be their sixth straight loss. In Levi's I mean that 1017 00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:07,000 Speaker 1: place just does not seem like a home field advantage. 1018 00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:09,800 Speaker 1: Whichever team loses this game like their fans are gonna 1019 00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:12,640 Speaker 1: be panicky. They put down the wine and cheese and 1020 00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:14,759 Speaker 1: pick up the pump bombs. Let's go with my right 1021 00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:23,000 Speaker 1: Fort haven't underrated brutal fan base like violent, great great fans, 1022 00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:25,520 Speaker 1: but there's something about that stadium. They don't win about it. 1023 00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:29,040 Speaker 1: They don't win there. Let's the Raiders took all the heat, 1024 00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:32,920 Speaker 1: but I would put ms of like parking lot violence 1025 00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,279 Speaker 1: up with anyone in the league having called a ton 1026 00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:39,440 Speaker 1: of their games. Maybe it's different or now no, well 1027 00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:42,320 Speaker 1: let me say this money still an aggressive fan base. 1028 00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:48,120 Speaker 1: Mr Chargers. Back in two thousand eight, week four right 1029 00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:50,080 Speaker 1: far Its signed with the Jets or was traded to 1030 00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:53,120 Speaker 1: the Jets. So me and my buddy Circling took the 1031 00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:56,840 Speaker 1: ride down from l A to San Diego and uh 1032 00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:58,640 Speaker 1: we sat in the upper deck at the old Wall 1033 00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:02,760 Speaker 1: com what it dump? That was, Oh yeah, falling apart um, 1034 00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:05,040 Speaker 1: but we're excited. We went up to our seats and 1035 00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:09,960 Speaker 1: it was constant harassment and just jerks. Everyone's right. Yeah. 1036 00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:12,000 Speaker 1: There was one guy that just stood in the aisle 1037 00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:13,880 Speaker 1: when we were trying to go up the steps, and 1038 00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:16,640 Speaker 1: he's probably about four hundred pounds. It looked like he'd 1039 00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:20,440 Speaker 1: been in prison maybe six times for various offenses, and 1040 00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:22,440 Speaker 1: it just made me think I didn't know. Chargers fans 1041 00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:25,480 Speaker 1: were like that is this a California fan? I don't 1042 00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:28,480 Speaker 1: know why. But here's my My push back to that 1043 00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:32,200 Speaker 1: islet we just wear a polo to the game. Oh, 1044 00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:35,759 Speaker 1: here we go again. Sports. You're a jaded sports guy. 1045 00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:38,040 Speaker 1: I know, like I think if it's one thing I've 1046 00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:42,120 Speaker 1: never understood why you got. I actually to think with 1047 00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:45,720 Speaker 1: NFL games, if you're on the road, it's a thought 1048 00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:49,040 Speaker 1: that you are going. It's gonna happen in a lot 1049 00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:52,759 Speaker 1: of stadiums, So it's a it's a thought like you 1050 00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:56,239 Speaker 1: guys sound so ridiculous. Both of you have you guys 1051 00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:58,120 Speaker 1: haven't been to a lot of NFL games, Then that's 1052 00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:01,359 Speaker 1: what happened. What do you mean NFL games? Of course 1053 00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:06,880 Speaker 1: I've been. I was in Broncos like Mile High. We lost. 1054 00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:10,320 Speaker 1: Here's all I'm saying. I's like, you gotta get harrassed. 1055 00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:12,719 Speaker 1: That's what happened. It's not baseball, it's not basketball. You're 1056 00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:16,960 Speaker 1: gonna get harassed. Dudes. Home home field fans put on 1057 00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,720 Speaker 1: a jersey and they think they're supposed to play football 1058 00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:23,279 Speaker 1: leveled of rush and that makes no sense. It's like, dude, 1059 00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:24,920 Speaker 1: I'm just here to watch a game with you though, 1060 00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:27,600 Speaker 1: it just be be proud, It's just it's fun.

Keep this in mind. Okay, you don't 1070 00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:56,960 Speaker 1: want to load up um on one side or the other. 1071 00:51:56,960 --> 00:51:58,959 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna get an early game. Chiefs at Eagles, 1072 00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:02,160 Speaker 1: Let's see what's going up? Two teams where the Chiefs 1073 00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:05,120 Speaker 1: had money was just like off his rocker and the 1074 00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:07,640 Speaker 1: a block of power rankings. Thinking that the Chiefs are 1075 00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:10,399 Speaker 1: gonna win like four games this year, Chiefs. That's not sure. 1076 00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:13,160 Speaker 1: I think the Chiefs are gonna be fine. They are 1077 00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:17,440 Speaker 1: not well. They are not executing uh in ways that 1078 00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:20,279 Speaker 1: you expect them to um. And if you're Chiefs fan, 1079 00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:22,680 Speaker 1: you're a little bit nervous now because you're thinking, wait 1080 00:52:22,719 --> 00:52:26,120 Speaker 1: a second, we always win these games when it's late 1081 00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:28,759 Speaker 1: and close, and then it happens twice in a row. 1082 00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:31,360 Speaker 1: And then you look around and you're watching the highlights 1083 00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:32,840 Speaker 1: around the league and you look at the standings, like, 1084 00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:36,279 Speaker 1: wait a second, my division is now loaded. Maybe and 1085 00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:38,800 Speaker 1: we may be lost a little of our magic. Pixie 1086 00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:42,520 Speaker 1: Dust and Andy Reid went to the hospital on Sunday. 1087 00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:44,960 Speaker 1: Look on, is our season a little bit off? Through 1088 00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:47,960 Speaker 1: our first round pick running back that we all summer? 1089 00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:53,520 Speaker 1: Oh Clyde Edwards Hilaire. He is unbelievably hot this summer. 1090 00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:55,719 Speaker 1: He's working in the passing game. He's gonna be the 1091 00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:57,680 Speaker 1: guy they thought last year. Well now he's fumbled two 1092 00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:00,560 Speaker 1: weeks ago in a row. All issues. Uh. And then 1093 00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:01,799 Speaker 1: on the other side of the ball, you got the 1094 00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:05,239 Speaker 1: Eagles who just no showed on Monday Night football and 1095 00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:08,920 Speaker 1: made everybody that believes in the Eagles look bad. Um, 1096 00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:12,720 Speaker 1: including Greg So while I and Ricky, Ricky has followed 1097 00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:15,319 Speaker 1: me down the Eagles, Yeah, I have to is a 1098 00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:18,200 Speaker 1: bad take to so join me with the Chiefs. Have 1099 00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:21,000 Speaker 1: to get some things straightened out. Money. I believe in 1100 00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:24,040 Speaker 1: them to do that. Um, But the fact that they've 1101 00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:26,040 Speaker 1: struggled the way they have. You don't just assume it 1102 00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:27,880 Speaker 1: happens on the road in Philly. They you know, I 1103 00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:30,560 Speaker 1: just they just need Frank clarkback, you know, they need 1104 00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:33,320 Speaker 1: they need more pass rush. Like they've got nothing going 1105 00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:36,879 Speaker 1: justin Herbert had all day to pick them apart. Their 1106 00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:40,000 Speaker 1: secondary's always been a big question mark. Tyran Matthews great, 1107 00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:42,400 Speaker 1: but there's not much else back there, and he just 1108 00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:44,799 Speaker 1: carved them up. Yeah, I think you can panic about 1109 00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:47,680 Speaker 1: the defense. I have zero concerned the offense. Oh no, 1110 00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:51,560 Speaker 1: Like you lost a last play game where you lost 1111 00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:53,719 Speaker 1: the turnover margin four to nothing. I mean, you can't 1112 00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:56,360 Speaker 1: keep losing the turnover margin like that. But there's a 1113 00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:58,280 Speaker 1: little bit of flukey. If I'm the Chargers, you almost 1114 00:53:58,320 --> 00:53:59,839 Speaker 1: want to win by more than that. If you win 1115 00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:01,640 Speaker 1: where the one thing I'll say though, that I think 1116 00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:02,960 Speaker 1: does come out of that. I don't know if you 1117 00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:06,760 Speaker 1: noticed after he fumbled, Clyde Edwards a layer was running 1118 00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:08,880 Speaker 1: like this the rest of the game. So it's clearly 1119 00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:11,239 Speaker 1: in his head. And everybody's gonna start punching at that thing. 1120 00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:13,120 Speaker 1: And if they get a couple more out, even if 1121 00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:15,520 Speaker 1: they recover them, I think that could get Sidewayster in 1122 00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:20,759 Speaker 1: that backfield, and like, offensively, the Chiefs are missing a 1123 00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:22,920 Speaker 1: little bit of the flash play, like the splat. Like 1124 00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:25,200 Speaker 1: the numbers look good, but my homes hasn't had the 1125 00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:27,720 Speaker 1: big time throws. They kind of came into the league 1126 00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:29,799 Speaker 1: talking about that they want to go on these long 1127 00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:32,239 Speaker 1: drives because that's how defenses are playing them. But it's like, 1128 00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:35,120 Speaker 1: why play into what the defenses are trying to do? 1129 00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:38,720 Speaker 1: And and again against the charges eleven play drive, twelve 1130 00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:42,480 Speaker 1: play drive, ten play drive, twelve played drive, And it's 1131 00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:44,400 Speaker 1: that part of it I don't like. But I also 1132 00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:46,960 Speaker 1: think they're gonna be one of the best five offenses 1133 00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:49,120 Speaker 1: in the league. So I'm not that concerned unless their 1134 00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:51,560 Speaker 1: defense is the very worst or one of the three 1135 00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:54,200 Speaker 1: or four worst in the league, and that's on the table. 1136 00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:56,520 Speaker 1: I will look. I think that's on the table right 1137 00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:58,200 Speaker 1: right now. And but I'm not worried about them in 1138 00:54:58,239 --> 00:55:00,759 Speaker 1: Philly and those and those spla as plays that they're 1139 00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:04,319 Speaker 1: famous for, whether it's Kelsey going for fifty five in 1140 00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:07,759 Speaker 1: this down the seam or of course Tyreek Hill. Not 1141 00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:11,120 Speaker 1: only do those, you know, lead to points, it also 1142 00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:14,040 Speaker 1: kind of flips momentum of games. It changes the vibe 1143 00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:16,400 Speaker 1: of a game when the Chiefs of the Chiefs defense 1144 00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:18,080 Speaker 1: is asleep at the switch early in the game, which 1145 00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:20,120 Speaker 1: happens all the time, all of a sudden they go 1146 00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:22,440 Speaker 1: bang bang, and the whole games different. They need to 1147 00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:24,960 Speaker 1: get back to that explosive element. But I'm okay, I'm 1148 00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:26,640 Speaker 1: open with the Chiefs right now. Are you gonna lock 1149 00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:31,160 Speaker 1: Eagle Eagles for the third straight week, Ricky or Ricky? 1150 00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:34,480 Speaker 1: What's your record? By the way, I believe I am 1151 00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:37,280 Speaker 1: owen two, So you should thank me for not letting 1152 00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:41,000 Speaker 1: you count last week double. Because now that's that's here 1153 00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:44,440 Speaker 1: comes the patriarchy. I'm saying that now it's fair. It 1154 00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:46,719 Speaker 1: was a more fair solution. And now you're not owing three. 1155 00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,640 Speaker 1: You know you're just look at it this way, Greg, 1156 00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:52,640 Speaker 1: you're pulling every wrong lever possible in the locks. If 1157 00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:55,000 Speaker 1: you just went on one along along with that, Ricky 1158 00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:56,880 Speaker 1: would be owing three right now, and she would get it. No, 1159 00:55:56,960 --> 00:55:59,839 Speaker 1: I wouldn't want her to. I want a fair, equitable game. 1160 00:55:59,880 --> 00:56:01,719 Speaker 1: It wouldn't make sense for it. She's only made two 1161 00:56:01,719 --> 00:56:04,120 Speaker 1: off picks. She doesn't deserve to be behind me. I 1162 00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:06,880 Speaker 1: should be in last. The patriarchy is here with the 1163 00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:12,760 Speaker 1: Lockley's Chief's Chiefs romp. All right, they should the Eagles 1164 00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:14,279 Speaker 1: on a short week. By the way, too, there's a 1165 00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:17,239 Speaker 1: lot cooking on a short week. Down three offensive lineman, now, 1166 00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:19,080 Speaker 1: I mean the whole thing with them was like, well 1167 00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:21,120 Speaker 1: the offensive line stays healthy. They're one of the best 1168 00:56:21,160 --> 00:56:23,200 Speaker 1: in leak. All Right, you're week four, you've lost three 1169 00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:25,479 Speaker 1: of your starters. If the Chiefs. If the Chiefs pass 1170 00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:27,560 Speaker 1: rush isn't getting home against the Eagles. We even trust 1171 00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:30,040 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts at the stage to pick him apart. We're 1172 00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:32,840 Speaker 1: all gonna find out. Let's take a break before we 1173 00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:38,600 Speaker 1: snake it. Oh, time for Underdog of the week. So 1174 00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:40,600 Speaker 1: you get to go again, Dannis, I do sort snakes 1175 00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:45,800 Speaker 1: to me. No, not the pit vipers. Hit vipers are snakes. 1176 00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:49,880 Speaker 1: I got the Power rankings every Tuesday, three pm Eastern. 1177 00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:53,120 Speaker 1: That's like the eighth mention of it. Yeah, take us. 1178 00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:55,319 Speaker 1: Take a slip of your drink. Every time they bring 1179 00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:59,120 Speaker 1: up it's like, hey, remember back in the B block, 1180 00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:04,919 Speaker 1: Join the evolution A time for Underdog of the Week. 1181 00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:07,279 Speaker 1: The segment is rough to you by Draft Kings and 1182 00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:11,239 Speaker 1: official sports betting partner of the NFL. I'll tell you 1183 00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:14,880 Speaker 1: it's an underdog this week, it's uh, my New York Jets. 1184 00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:19,000 Speaker 1: I will grab this with my next pick, Titans at 1185 00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:23,959 Speaker 1: Jets at the Meadow Ends. Now. Um, the Titans very nice, 1186 00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:28,560 Speaker 1: very nice performance back to back weeks here getting victories, 1187 00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:31,080 Speaker 1: um and leaning on their stars to do it. But 1188 00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:34,000 Speaker 1: they have issues here and UM, I have to see 1189 00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:36,200 Speaker 1: where they are at with the practice report. But Julio 1190 00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:40,320 Speaker 1: Jones and A. J. Brown are both banged up right 1191 00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:43,000 Speaker 1: now and there's a chance neither of them plays, so 1192 00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:46,480 Speaker 1: they're they're top wide receivers. Luckily, you still have Ryan Tannehill, 1193 00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:48,400 Speaker 1: you still have Derrick Henry, two guys who carried you 1194 00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:52,120 Speaker 1: to win last week. Uh, and obviously they are heavy 1195 00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:56,280 Speaker 1: favorites to take care business at the Meadow Ends. However, 1196 00:57:56,520 --> 00:57:59,280 Speaker 1: the thing that disappoints me the most Greg about the 1197 00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:01,360 Speaker 1: Jets so far, and they're off to an OH and 1198 00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:03,320 Speaker 1: three star for the third straight year, that even the 1199 00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:08,840 Speaker 1: ship we don't need that right, it is not on 1200 00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:11,600 Speaker 1: in New York City for either team. The thing that 1201 00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:14,960 Speaker 1: really sticks in my craw Greg about this OH and 1202 00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:17,320 Speaker 1: three start is that it's a boring oh and three. 1203 00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:20,360 Speaker 1: They have twenty points in three games half those points 1204 00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:23,360 Speaker 1: came in garbage time. And this whole idea, we're gonna 1205 00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:25,760 Speaker 1: get rid of Adam Gates, We're gonna bring in Michael Floor, 1206 00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:27,880 Speaker 1: We're gonna bring in all these different schemes that we 1207 00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:31,120 Speaker 1: haven't heard that Sally Luja. No not, We're not getting 1208 00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:34,600 Speaker 1: that till we'll get a w um. We're gonna have 1209 00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:38,080 Speaker 1: a QB friendly system for this kid. Uh And none 1210 00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:40,680 Speaker 1: of that's Elijah Moore was gonna be this breakout star. 1211 00:58:41,120 --> 00:58:44,280 Speaker 1: All that has just disappeared, Greg And that's what annoys me. 1212 00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:46,560 Speaker 1: It's the offense flat lining out of the gates. And 1213 00:58:46,600 --> 00:58:49,640 Speaker 1: I know, and it's only the Jets. They get like 1214 00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:52,160 Speaker 1: arguably the best three defenses in the league back to 1215 00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:55,320 Speaker 1: back to back to start the season, or just top defenses. 1216 00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:57,920 Speaker 1: It softens up now against Tennessee. But I have no 1217 00:58:57,960 --> 00:59:00,360 Speaker 1: reason to be confident softens way up. This is a 1218 00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:04,400 Speaker 1: big week. It's a winnable game. Even if Julio plays. 1219 00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:06,360 Speaker 1: My guests would be he did does just because he 1220 00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:09,960 Speaker 1: finished last week's game and Julio missing practices. But Julio 1221 00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:11,840 Speaker 1: spent most of the fourth fourth quarter on the bench. 1222 00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:15,720 Speaker 1: That's fair, that's fair. But he did play, so just 1223 00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:18,560 Speaker 1: based on his history, he is a guy who never practices. 1224 00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:21,200 Speaker 1: A j Brown is fully expected to miss this game. 1225 00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:24,520 Speaker 1: But you're I think their star heavy system is faulty. 1226 00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:27,320 Speaker 1: Ryan Dano is working really hard for yards this year. 1227 00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:31,440 Speaker 1: He's having to run. That their receivers after those two 1228 00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:35,400 Speaker 1: guys are not impressive. That their defense is easily the 1229 00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:37,560 Speaker 1: easiest that Zack Wilson has played. I want to see 1230 00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:40,360 Speaker 1: some progress out of Zack Wilson. I want to see 1231 00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:43,400 Speaker 1: some layups. I want to see some drives. I think 1232 00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:47,680 Speaker 1: it's doable against Tennessee. Like show us something, because if 1233 00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:50,200 Speaker 1: you just looked at these stats the Jets have, imagine 1234 00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:52,800 Speaker 1: if Adam Gates was coaching this team. I mean people 1235 00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:54,600 Speaker 1: would be That's what I mean. We're supposed to be. 1236 00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:57,439 Speaker 1: We were supposed to be clear that Adam. But here's 1237 00:59:57,440 --> 00:59:59,640 Speaker 1: the thing here, we are. It's not a panic thing. 1238 01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:02,920 Speaker 1: Teams changed. But this is the week start showing me something. 1239 01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:06,320 Speaker 1: Football Outsiders showed that the Tennessee Titans have one of 1240 01:00:06,360 --> 01:00:08,640 Speaker 1: the worst dev o ways of any two and one 1241 01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:11,160 Speaker 1: team in history, which isn't a surprise because it got 1242 01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:14,200 Speaker 1: blown out Week one. But when you watch them that 1243 01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:18,200 Speaker 1: last week was about as as unimpressive of two score 1244 01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:21,400 Speaker 1: victory as you could conceivably had. That Titans team has 1245 01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:24,520 Speaker 1: a whole lot of issues that Ryan Tannehill and Derrick 1246 01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:27,600 Speaker 1: Henry and in theory these receivers make up for because 1247 01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:30,680 Speaker 1: the rest of the thirty fifty three man roster. I'm like, 1248 01:00:31,320 --> 01:00:33,760 Speaker 1: that's not great team. I mean, all I got is 1249 01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:37,360 Speaker 1: the Jets are terrible. Like it's hard to watch that 1250 01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:40,640 Speaker 1: team play football. And I was defense has been average. 1251 01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:43,320 Speaker 1: Actually I think I'm talking to I got'm talking offensively, 1252 01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:44,920 Speaker 1: and that I get it. You lose a lot of 1253 01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:47,120 Speaker 1: your offensive line, and Beckton's a great left houckle, you 1254 01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:49,960 Speaker 1: lose him. And the running games not what we had hoped. 1255 01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:52,040 Speaker 1: And I was kind of excited about that running. I 1256 01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:54,760 Speaker 1: was sort of excited about this offense, like you said it, Dan, 1257 01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:57,640 Speaker 1: and it's just, man, we end up watching it in 1258 01:00:57,720 --> 01:01:01,040 Speaker 1: the booth a lot um just because it Edj's relationship 1259 01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:03,040 Speaker 1: with with Joe Douglass. So we tend to watch some 1260 01:01:03,160 --> 01:01:05,840 Speaker 1: Jets and and I want to see Zach Wilson succeed. 1261 01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:07,960 Speaker 1: He was blast to watch it at b y U 1262 01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:10,640 Speaker 1: And man, it just he's not making his line. No, 1263 01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:13,320 Speaker 1: it is not good and his receiver has had some 1264 01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:16,120 Speaker 1: drops last I think it's been a total meltdown. But 1265 01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:18,560 Speaker 1: if you're Jets fan listening right now, this is the 1266 01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:20,480 Speaker 1: way we need to look at this. Go win this 1267 01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:22,840 Speaker 1: game at least well, I don't even need to win it. 1268 01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:30,080 Speaker 1: Touchdowns week one to three nightmares. Hit reset and start 1269 01:01:30,120 --> 01:01:33,360 Speaker 1: playing a brand of competitive football and score some points 1270 01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:35,920 Speaker 1: even if you end up getting beat late. Because I 1271 01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:38,480 Speaker 1: love the Jets, says, and they're a touchdown underdog. I 1272 01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:40,240 Speaker 1: love them to keep it close. That's why they're the 1273 01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:42,480 Speaker 1: underdog of the week. Brought to you by Draft Kings, 1274 01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:45,600 Speaker 1: an officials betting partner in the NFL. Alright, money, your 1275 01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:49,760 Speaker 1: last pick. My last pick is going to be Lions Bears. Thanks. 1276 01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:51,560 Speaker 1: Just from getting that out of the way that we 1277 01:01:51,560 --> 01:01:54,120 Speaker 1: don't have to watch it. I just like the drama. 1278 01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:56,560 Speaker 1: Bad news. We still have to watch it, Yes I do. 1279 01:01:58,360 --> 01:02:01,120 Speaker 1: The Lions are not going to go zero and eleventeen oh, 1280 01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:05,600 Speaker 1: Money says zero, not oh, which drives me, not kills me, 1281 01:02:05,640 --> 01:02:07,960 Speaker 1: it stops me. Like remember back in the d block 1282 01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:15,880 Speaker 1: when you said zero and Tuesday's specific. Um, I just 1283 01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:18,720 Speaker 1: I like the drama in this game. I and I don't. 1284 01:02:19,280 --> 01:02:20,760 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's gonna be Andy Dualt, if 1285 01:02:20,800 --> 01:02:23,920 Speaker 1: it's gonna be Justin fields. That offensive line is terrible. 1286 01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:26,800 Speaker 1: It's not like the Lions had a great game against 1287 01:02:26,840 --> 01:02:29,400 Speaker 1: the Ravens, so much of that score was predicated on 1288 01:02:29,480 --> 01:02:33,960 Speaker 1: self inflicted wounds and drops by Hollywood Um. At the 1289 01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:38,120 Speaker 1: same time, I have been on record, even after their 1290 01:02:38,200 --> 01:02:40,600 Speaker 1: victory over the Bengals, I think the Bears are one 1291 01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:42,840 Speaker 1: of the worst teams in football this year. I just 1292 01:02:42,960 --> 01:02:46,920 Speaker 1: ill offensively, there's no question, and I just think defensively, 1293 01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:49,000 Speaker 1: it's too much for them to overcome. Do they The 1294 01:02:49,080 --> 01:02:52,240 Speaker 1: defense seems good, but not great or maybe even average. 1295 01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:55,400 Speaker 1: And then when you you put this together with the 1296 01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:57,280 Speaker 1: offense of what you saw last week, which was not 1297 01:02:57,360 --> 01:03:00,919 Speaker 1: just uncompetitive and embarrassing, frankly, with a rookie getting sacked 1298 01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:03,400 Speaker 1: nine times, You're get in a situation here, money, where 1299 01:03:04,120 --> 01:03:06,720 Speaker 1: you put this kid out there and then you give 1300 01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:10,560 Speaker 1: such a poor performance in coaching and offensive line play 1301 01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:13,360 Speaker 1: that you worry about were jacking this kid up? Are 1302 01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:15,320 Speaker 1: we gonna make him see ghosts? Or some of it 1303 01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:20,040 Speaker 1: was his fault? Nasty watching him back. Probably five of 1304 01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:22,240 Speaker 1: them were on Justin field. If you put him in 1305 01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:25,840 Speaker 1: a situation where that he's not ready, then you're just 1306 01:03:27,080 --> 01:03:31,720 Speaker 1: down the line. Did you starting after what happened last week? 1307 01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:35,840 Speaker 1: They said Andy Dalton is down and then he was 1308 01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:39,040 Speaker 1: limited in practice on Wednesday, And unless they're going out 1309 01:03:39,040 --> 01:03:43,280 Speaker 1: of their way to confuse the Lions, when you gotta 1310 01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:45,800 Speaker 1: go out of your way to confuse the Lions, and 1311 01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:49,720 Speaker 1: then Andy Dalton starting, because if Andy Dalton's healthy. Last 1312 01:03:49,720 --> 01:03:52,800 Speaker 1: week's justin fields game was the reason why Naggie said it. 1313 01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:54,560 Speaker 1: And you can bang on Naggie all you want, and 1314 01:03:54,880 --> 01:03:59,120 Speaker 1: you should, but he's running in Andy Dalton offense, which 1315 01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:01,600 Speaker 1: is like quick gay team and get the ball out, 1316 01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:04,640 Speaker 1: and that's not really justin fields game. And the Lions 1317 01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:07,400 Speaker 1: are built pretty well to stop the run. They stopped Baltimore. 1318 01:04:07,840 --> 01:04:10,600 Speaker 1: That's like, it's not a good strategy, but that was 1319 01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:13,040 Speaker 1: like what Dan Campbell wanted to do. Draft guys who 1320 01:04:13,080 --> 01:04:15,040 Speaker 1: can stop the run, and they do have guys, and 1321 01:04:15,080 --> 01:04:17,520 Speaker 1: they got Brockerts like and so I think they'll be 1322 01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:20,000 Speaker 1: able to stop Montgomery. And it was in Detroit, I 1323 01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:22,960 Speaker 1: wouldn't touch it. But the fact that it's a soldier field, 1324 01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:26,160 Speaker 1: all those fans are hot and they're hot at you know, 1325 01:04:26,200 --> 01:04:28,000 Speaker 1: whether it's fair or not, I do want to watch 1326 01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:30,760 Speaker 1: this game. Might take it bad. This spy their their 1327 01:04:30,800 --> 01:04:35,400 Speaker 1: comeback was impressive. Uh, it took a lot of a 1328 01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:38,280 Speaker 1: lot of hoodspa moxie. They could certainly win this game. 1329 01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:39,920 Speaker 1: But I think the Bears defense has been better than 1330 01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:41,240 Speaker 1: you guys give him credit for it. They did a 1331 01:04:41,280 --> 01:04:44,480 Speaker 1: good job against Baltimore. They did a great job against Cincinnati, 1332 01:04:44,520 --> 01:04:47,360 Speaker 1: who only and they got and really swallowed them up. 1333 01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:49,840 Speaker 1: And and so I I think their defense might be 1334 01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:52,080 Speaker 1: enough to win. You know, Greg, you brought it up 1335 01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:57,240 Speaker 1: last week, Um that Lions fans are sneaky, great fans 1336 01:04:57,280 --> 01:04:59,760 Speaker 1: and loyal fans and they'll leave him be cheering after 1337 01:04:59,800 --> 01:05:03,000 Speaker 1: a would play when it's thirty seventeen against the Packers. 1338 01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:05,120 Speaker 1: All true, And it's the first thing that popped in 1339 01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:08,000 Speaker 1: my mind when you know, sixty thousand fans went into 1340 01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:10,640 Speaker 1: the building last week and watched a sixty six yard 1341 01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:14,000 Speaker 1: field goal go off the crossbar and over it after 1342 01:05:14,080 --> 01:05:20,560 Speaker 1: a missed delay of game penalty, Like what do we know? 1343 01:05:22,200 --> 01:05:24,280 Speaker 1: The ball went to the middle of the field to hey, 1344 01:05:24,320 --> 01:05:27,240 Speaker 1: football gods, and you can't smite me. You can't curse 1345 01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:29,760 Speaker 1: me because I'm a Jets fan. Do your best? What 1346 01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:31,480 Speaker 1: are you doing here? Can we clean it up a 1347 01:05:31,480 --> 01:05:34,960 Speaker 1: little bit? Football? Gods? Uh, Greg, we gotta move. Wait 1348 01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:37,360 Speaker 1: the Lions they're gonna do it? This what No, Ricky, 1349 01:05:37,400 --> 01:05:42,480 Speaker 1: don't do it? Do it. I just have a good feeling. 1350 01:05:42,720 --> 01:05:45,080 Speaker 1: How good is the feeling? I love it? You know what? 1351 01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:47,440 Speaker 1: I love it? It just like starts tingling, and it's oh, 1352 01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:50,200 Speaker 1: wait a second, it starts. I never had that. And 1353 01:05:51,080 --> 01:05:53,200 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you look at Dan Campbell and 1354 01:05:53,240 --> 01:05:56,600 Speaker 1: all the caffeine he drinks, and you look at them 1355 01:05:56,640 --> 01:06:00,760 Speaker 1: biting knee clocks, knee clocks. I just saw that Caps. 1356 01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:03,280 Speaker 1: I just saw that Dan Campbell has an in game 1357 01:06:03,360 --> 01:06:08,240 Speaker 1: clock manager. Why don't other teams do this? Okay, well 1358 01:06:08,320 --> 01:06:11,960 Speaker 1: you guys, my time, tell us more about the knee clocks. 1359 01:06:11,960 --> 01:06:14,560 Speaker 1: So my knee clocks are tingling. Guys, I'm going to 1360 01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:17,840 Speaker 1: lock up the Lions. I like it, and you need 1361 01:06:17,840 --> 01:06:20,960 Speaker 1: a w not as bad as Greg because locking up 1362 01:06:20,960 --> 01:06:24,040 Speaker 1: the Bucks over the Patriots, right, He's desperate. It means 1363 01:06:24,080 --> 01:06:25,640 Speaker 1: a lot to him. It means a lot to him. 1364 01:06:25,640 --> 01:06:28,600 Speaker 1: He needs to win this one. No, I'm done, get 1365 01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:30,880 Speaker 1: to that one in three done, get back to respectability. 1366 01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:33,680 Speaker 1: He loves me. I'm her best friend for showing her 1367 01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:37,520 Speaker 1: how to go. Oh and three like I'm our leader 1368 01:06:37,600 --> 01:06:41,080 Speaker 1: right right close out the draft. Okay, then we'll speed 1369 01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:43,720 Speaker 1: through the rest of the games, will we there? We'll 1370 01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:48,640 Speaker 1: do our better try um Money's like Petro's has been 1371 01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:50,400 Speaker 1: doing an hour so far in his own He's like 1372 01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:55,240 Speaker 1: ham At, I'll get the Saints game into this early 1373 01:06:55,280 --> 01:06:59,400 Speaker 1: block Saints Giants a little more than fifteen years after 1374 01:06:59,440 --> 01:07:03,600 Speaker 1: Steve Glee Sin became a household name. This feels like 1375 01:07:04,840 --> 01:07:06,760 Speaker 1: the t the game you don't want to draw if 1376 01:07:06,760 --> 01:07:10,440 Speaker 1: you're the Giants lay being, there's just gonna be something extra. 1377 01:07:11,040 --> 01:07:14,080 Speaker 1: And if you don't think there's gonna be just something extra, hey, 1378 01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:16,920 Speaker 1: watch these first three saintschemes. I know they got they 1379 01:07:16,960 --> 01:07:20,600 Speaker 1: got blown out eventually against the Panthers, missing seven coaches 1380 01:07:20,640 --> 01:07:23,280 Speaker 1: and six players. But if you watch the defense in 1381 01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:26,640 Speaker 1: that game, that same Donald team, despite the great field 1382 01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:29,280 Speaker 1: position they had, we're stuck on seventeen again and again 1383 01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:31,320 Speaker 1: and again. And there's something going on with this Saints 1384 01:07:31,400 --> 01:07:34,920 Speaker 1: defense where a little greater than the some of their parts. 1385 01:07:35,160 --> 01:07:37,680 Speaker 1: I think this Saints team is a little greater than 1386 01:07:37,680 --> 01:07:41,120 Speaker 1: the some of their parts. No, I already locked up 1387 01:07:41,160 --> 01:07:45,280 Speaker 1: the bucks. Um, I wouldn't even be allowed to respectable. 1388 01:07:45,760 --> 01:07:48,440 Speaker 1: This is actually over the number the Patriots are not, 1389 01:07:48,520 --> 01:07:56,760 Speaker 1: so I would happily um. Their coverage in one is 1390 01:07:57,880 --> 01:08:02,160 Speaker 1: what is making this defense special. Seed Deuce Marshawn Lattimore, 1391 01:08:02,520 --> 01:08:05,200 Speaker 1: Marcus Williams, one of the most underrated safeties in the league. 1392 01:08:05,440 --> 01:08:08,320 Speaker 1: Malcolm Jenkins is still playing well to Mario Davis. Those 1393 01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:11,840 Speaker 1: guys have been together. They passed the receivers off, they 1394 01:08:11,840 --> 01:08:13,560 Speaker 1: know how to play zone, they know how to play man. 1395 01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:17,200 Speaker 1: I just think they are now. They're just a really 1396 01:08:17,280 --> 01:08:20,200 Speaker 1: underrated group right now that I think knows how to 1397 01:08:20,320 --> 01:08:24,240 Speaker 1: swallow up mediocre passing games. And that's what the Giants are, 1398 01:08:24,320 --> 01:08:33,200 Speaker 1: ultimately mediocre zero and four. Judge Kyle Rudolph, my head 1399 01:08:33,200 --> 01:08:35,639 Speaker 1: coach coaches, though he's like one of the most well 1400 01:08:35,720 --> 01:08:43,800 Speaker 1: liked playing the graduate Elder High School, the same high 1401 01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:49,439 Speaker 1: school where Nick Wesselen being interviewed at in a feature. Um, 1402 01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:52,120 Speaker 1: is that right? How do you feel fun about it? 1403 01:08:52,479 --> 01:08:57,040 Speaker 1: Once again? Yeah, Wis Westlings. Kyle Rudolph didn't have to 1404 01:08:57,080 --> 01:08:59,479 Speaker 1: say that, he could just say I love Joe judge. 1405 01:08:59,479 --> 01:09:01,759 Speaker 1: He's a great coach. That's all I gotta do. Instead, 1406 01:09:01,760 --> 01:09:03,800 Speaker 1: he's gotta take the shot, and he needs to step 1407 01:09:03,840 --> 01:09:05,599 Speaker 1: up because they might not have Shepherd in this game. 1408 01:09:05,600 --> 01:09:08,240 Speaker 1: That's a hun might have Slate in their offensive line. 1409 01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:15,479 Speaker 1: Um troubling Jamis, I'm gonna make here's my bold predicting 1410 01:09:15,560 --> 01:09:18,040 Speaker 1: Jamis goes over a hundred and fifty yards for the 1411 01:09:18,040 --> 01:09:21,360 Speaker 1: first time this season. Let's go three hundred and three. 1412 01:09:21,439 --> 01:09:23,679 Speaker 1: Let's wipe the floor with them. Let's give him something 1413 01:09:23,720 --> 01:09:27,120 Speaker 1: to cheer about. The Giants getting beat by the Falcons 1414 01:09:27,160 --> 01:09:28,960 Speaker 1: last week, that that that's curtains for them. I think. 1415 01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:31,599 Speaker 1: Speaking of the Falcons, let's go there next Washington football 1416 01:09:31,600 --> 01:09:36,200 Speaker 1: team at UM. That's amazed Atlanta. I took the Lions Bears. 1417 01:09:36,280 --> 01:09:40,360 Speaker 1: He takes his officially over and the Steelers and Packers 1418 01:09:40,360 --> 01:09:43,439 Speaker 1: are still on the board. Ye're boring, I know, but 1419 01:09:43,479 --> 01:09:46,200 Speaker 1: I'm saying it's the Steelers and the Packers. We're going 1420 01:09:46,320 --> 01:09:50,920 Speaker 1: Lions Bears. Were there watching football team at Falcons. Yes, 1421 01:09:50,960 --> 01:09:52,720 Speaker 1: the Falcons beat the Giants, but I didn't watch a 1422 01:09:52,720 --> 01:09:54,920 Speaker 1: game and think to myself, oh okay, maybe the turn 1423 01:09:54,960 --> 01:09:56,840 Speaker 1: in the corner here. I do not think they're very 1424 01:09:56,840 --> 01:10:00,000 Speaker 1: good team. I don't think Washington is a good team, 1425 01:10:00,160 --> 01:10:04,360 Speaker 1: or they could be. I'm not writing off the football team, 1426 01:10:04,439 --> 01:10:07,760 Speaker 1: and I think, in fact, I know they're gonna get 1427 01:10:07,760 --> 01:10:10,080 Speaker 1: healthy here. And we've been talking about where's young and sweaty? 1428 01:10:10,160 --> 01:10:12,840 Speaker 1: You know, where is this defense? What is going on 1429 01:10:13,479 --> 01:10:15,400 Speaker 1: with what we thought this team was gonna be. Well, 1430 01:10:15,400 --> 01:10:18,880 Speaker 1: guess what, Matt Ryan's a statue back there. This line 1431 01:10:18,960 --> 01:10:21,080 Speaker 1: is not going to be able to block the Washington front. 1432 01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:25,479 Speaker 1: And guess what, I am locking up the football team. 1433 01:10:26,200 --> 01:10:28,759 Speaker 1: Forget about this West Coast bias. That's on East Coast 1434 01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:33,040 Speaker 1: bias for you. The football team will get the w 1435 01:10:33,439 --> 01:10:35,840 Speaker 1: young and sweaty. Mark my words. You're gonna see Matt 1436 01:10:35,920 --> 01:10:40,559 Speaker 1: Ryan eaton fake turf all game long. And anybody have 1437 01:10:40,560 --> 01:10:42,000 Speaker 1: a thought in this game, I do. I mean, I 1438 01:10:42,040 --> 01:10:43,920 Speaker 1: think those are two of the worst teams in the league. 1439 01:10:44,840 --> 01:10:47,000 Speaker 1: One of them. Put down that low. You think they're 1440 01:10:47,040 --> 01:10:49,120 Speaker 1: one of the very worst teams. Yeah, I think they 1441 01:10:49,120 --> 01:10:50,960 Speaker 1: were one of the worst. Uh, they have one of 1442 01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:52,840 Speaker 1: the worst defenses, and that's what they're supposed to be 1443 01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:55,080 Speaker 1: based on. So until they stopped playing like one of 1444 01:10:55,120 --> 01:10:58,040 Speaker 1: the worst defenses, you have Tyler Heineke's like a little 1445 01:10:58,040 --> 01:11:01,639 Speaker 1: better than their quarterbacks last year, but not enough better. Uh, 1446 01:11:01,680 --> 01:11:04,120 Speaker 1: they just had And yeah, you're right the falcon, Like, 1447 01:11:04,160 --> 01:11:05,800 Speaker 1: what are you doing here out there? Smith? You're turning 1448 01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:08,040 Speaker 1: Calvin Ridney into a guy who was averaging eight yards 1449 01:11:08,040 --> 01:11:11,000 Speaker 1: per catch, driving me crazy. Pitts is not going not 1450 01:11:11,120 --> 01:11:14,519 Speaker 1: been a huge factor. No attempts last week, over twenty yards. 1451 01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:16,120 Speaker 1: It's two bad teams, but one of them is gonna 1452 01:11:16,120 --> 01:11:18,280 Speaker 1: be two and two, and teams can change, so Washington 1453 01:11:18,280 --> 01:11:20,320 Speaker 1: has a much better chance to change. That's what I'm 1454 01:11:20,320 --> 01:11:22,479 Speaker 1: with you there. I'm with Bill scored twenty seven points 1455 01:11:22,479 --> 01:11:24,639 Speaker 1: in the first half against Washington last week. Josh Allen 1456 01:11:24,680 --> 01:11:26,880 Speaker 1: was over three hundred yards passing with nine minutes playing 1457 01:11:26,920 --> 01:11:29,680 Speaker 1: the third quarter. That's all bad, but it has to 1458 01:11:29,720 --> 01:11:32,000 Speaker 1: turn somewhere. Sometimes just beating up on a bad team 1459 01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:33,760 Speaker 1: is what you need to get your confidence going again 1460 01:11:33,800 --> 01:11:35,320 Speaker 1: and get the scheme work in the way it should. 1461 01:11:35,479 --> 01:11:38,160 Speaker 1: That's what I think up next, Why don't we hit it? 1462 01:11:38,160 --> 01:11:42,080 Speaker 1: Since Money mentioned it's Steelers at Packers and you know CBS, 1463 01:11:42,120 --> 01:11:45,840 Speaker 1: they said, let's send nance and Romo there. That's we 1464 01:11:45,880 --> 01:11:47,880 Speaker 1: got Lambo and the Steelers are going to be a 1465 01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:49,960 Speaker 1: powerhouse at the end of it. Well, I don't think 1466 01:11:49,960 --> 01:11:51,800 Speaker 1: they are money. I don't think the Steelers are at all. 1467 01:11:51,800 --> 01:11:54,360 Speaker 1: And I don't think they have a chance here. Dude, terrible, 1468 01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:57,240 Speaker 1: The old line is terrible. Nagy Harris is not explosive 1469 01:11:57,360 --> 01:12:00,080 Speaker 1: right now, even though he's getting fifteen targets like of 1470 01:12:00,160 --> 01:12:03,719 Speaker 1: receptions per game. There's just not enough juice there, Um, 1471 01:12:03,880 --> 01:12:07,760 Speaker 1: big bend. Look it, father time is not friendly man, 1472 01:12:07,840 --> 01:12:10,479 Speaker 1: and and typically it does not end how anybody wants 1473 01:12:10,520 --> 01:12:12,760 Speaker 1: it to. In this sport, very rarely do you get 1474 01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:16,120 Speaker 1: the Tom Brady story or the Jerome Bettist story. It 1475 01:12:16,160 --> 01:12:18,640 Speaker 1: typically ends like this, and it feels like this is 1476 01:12:19,400 --> 01:12:23,160 Speaker 1: sort of your your standard end to a superstar story 1477 01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:26,080 Speaker 1: in an NFL career. Plus, like people are saying, like, 1478 01:12:26,520 --> 01:12:28,639 Speaker 1: you know, he's not the type of guy who's gonna age. Well, 1479 01:12:28,680 --> 01:12:31,800 Speaker 1: it's like he has aged. Well, he's past that point. 1480 01:12:31,840 --> 01:12:35,519 Speaker 1: Now he's aged. It's over. He's like thirty thirty nine. 1481 01:12:35,560 --> 01:12:37,719 Speaker 1: He was playing at a very high level at thirty five. 1482 01:12:37,840 --> 01:12:39,920 Speaker 1: But that was kind of like the old even as 1483 01:12:39,920 --> 01:12:42,160 Speaker 1: recently is the Peyton Manning eras like once you hit 1484 01:12:42,200 --> 01:12:45,240 Speaker 1: thirty seven, thirty eight, you were cooked. Now there's more thought. 1485 01:12:45,280 --> 01:12:47,920 Speaker 1: Maybe you can get the thirty ninety's not that guy 1486 01:12:49,080 --> 01:12:51,519 Speaker 1: that guy, And yeah, I like the Packers to win 1487 01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:55,840 Speaker 1: because as much as everyone's enjoying piling on Ben Roethlisberg, 1488 01:12:55,960 --> 01:12:58,120 Speaker 1: probably because he hasn't been like that nice of them 1489 01:12:58,160 --> 01:13:00,920 Speaker 1: over the years. Like this team has other problems. I 1490 01:13:02,880 --> 01:13:06,280 Speaker 1: just mean, nationally beat reporters everyone, um because he blocked 1491 01:13:06,360 --> 01:13:08,720 Speaker 1: us on Twitter, Right, that's sort of stuff. It's like, 1492 01:13:09,040 --> 01:13:13,639 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, he was credibly accused of sexual 1493 01:13:13,640 --> 01:13:16,320 Speaker 1: assault multiple times. I think it's okay to mention that 1494 01:13:16,320 --> 01:13:20,240 Speaker 1: that he's not like America's favorite bad guy bad guy. 1495 01:13:20,280 --> 01:13:22,040 Speaker 1: I'm not covering for Big Ben, but right, that's all 1496 01:13:22,040 --> 01:13:26,519 Speaker 1: I'm saying. He's not the only problem. Can we get, ah, 1497 01:13:26,800 --> 01:13:29,519 Speaker 1: I know everyone loves Minca Fitzpatrick. Can we get like 1498 01:13:29,560 --> 01:13:32,280 Speaker 1: through one game where multiple touchdowns don't go over his 1499 01:13:32,320 --> 01:13:35,000 Speaker 1: head for like sixty yards, because like, I know, I'm 1500 01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:37,240 Speaker 1: not like, I'm not like XS and knows I know 1501 01:13:37,320 --> 01:13:40,320 Speaker 1: all the safety's assignment. But every Steelers game you watch, 1502 01:13:40,840 --> 01:13:45,439 Speaker 1: there are literally multiple touchdowns Patrick is running after the 1503 01:13:45,479 --> 01:13:48,640 Speaker 1: receiver as they score a touchdown. So whether that's the 1504 01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:51,120 Speaker 1: rest of the secondaries fault or his fault. I'm not 1505 01:13:51,200 --> 01:13:53,519 Speaker 1: saying I know that, but it's a problem. And their 1506 01:13:53,560 --> 01:13:55,960 Speaker 1: offensive lines things too, Like it's not just Ben Route 1507 01:13:56,000 --> 01:13:59,799 Speaker 1: this bigger. That's all I'm saying. Darren moving on Texans 1508 01:13:59,840 --> 01:14:03,479 Speaker 1: at Bills as we all like, I mean, the Texas trying. 1509 01:14:03,640 --> 01:14:06,759 Speaker 1: Texans are trying their best, and they they like Smith 1510 01:14:06,760 --> 01:14:09,479 Speaker 1: back in the league. Lovey Smith is doing a nice job. 1511 01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:13,519 Speaker 1: That's what I mean. It's good to happen back defense. 1512 01:14:13,560 --> 01:14:16,640 Speaker 1: Oh that's great. But if Josh Allen and I was 1513 01:14:16,680 --> 01:14:20,600 Speaker 1: actually surprised as PF grade and that's obviously subjective, but 1514 01:14:20,800 --> 01:14:22,560 Speaker 1: was not as high. And I watched a game and 1515 01:14:22,720 --> 01:14:24,920 Speaker 1: like that guy, did you factor in PF that he 1516 01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:28,439 Speaker 1: was cutting through swirling winds in that building and basically 1517 01:14:28,479 --> 01:14:31,160 Speaker 1: doing whatever he wanted. There are things that PF does 1518 01:14:31,200 --> 01:14:35,800 Speaker 1: that I probably not probably probably not, probably nicked them 1519 01:14:35,800 --> 01:14:37,800 Speaker 1: for a couple of those deep misses. But that doesn't 1520 01:14:37,840 --> 01:14:40,679 Speaker 1: seem happening anyway. The Bills, if they get that Josh 1521 01:14:40,680 --> 01:14:42,639 Speaker 1: Allen again, which is no reason to think they won't 1522 01:14:42,680 --> 01:14:45,120 Speaker 1: against this Texans defense, even though it's been better than 1523 01:14:45,160 --> 01:14:48,040 Speaker 1: expected under Lovely Smith, this feels like a blowout. Tell 1524 01:14:48,040 --> 01:14:51,400 Speaker 1: me why it won't be money. They will be Yeah, Greg, 1525 01:14:52,240 --> 01:14:54,120 Speaker 1: you wanna you want to know what I'm gonna acknowledge 1526 01:14:54,120 --> 01:14:57,000 Speaker 1: here when talking about the Bills. The seventeen and a 1527 01:14:57,080 --> 01:14:59,080 Speaker 1: half point spread in this game, how that for a 1528 01:14:59,200 --> 01:15:01,880 Speaker 1: seventeen too? That for a week four game. And I'm 1529 01:15:01,960 --> 01:15:04,240 Speaker 1: and I still would not take them if I got 1530 01:15:04,240 --> 01:15:09,040 Speaker 1: to choose, and I do, I'm taking the Bills. Yeah, 1531 01:15:09,040 --> 01:15:10,960 Speaker 1: I mean we have to do it. On game picks. 1532 01:15:10,960 --> 01:15:13,040 Speaker 1: They put it right above the pick. Now they're keeping scoring. 1533 01:15:13,080 --> 01:15:15,479 Speaker 1: I think I'm still taking the Bills. I'm a sucker. 1534 01:15:15,760 --> 01:15:18,800 Speaker 1: I am a sucker for the Big ten. And I'm 1535 01:15:18,880 --> 01:15:21,160 Speaker 1: very happy to see a j Epanessa rebound from a 1536 01:15:21,160 --> 01:15:24,040 Speaker 1: disappointing rookie year to look pretty darn good in his 1537 01:15:24,120 --> 01:15:29,640 Speaker 1: sophomore campaign and continuing the wave of pass rushers and 1538 01:15:29,720 --> 01:15:32,560 Speaker 1: pressure guys that they have on that front. For Sean McDermott, 1539 01:15:32,560 --> 01:15:34,160 Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be a big problem for the 1540 01:15:34,160 --> 01:15:38,120 Speaker 1: a f C the whole season. Davis. I mean, if 1541 01:15:38,120 --> 01:15:40,880 Speaker 1: Tyrod's in this game, I'd put it under ten. That's 1542 01:15:40,880 --> 01:15:43,040 Speaker 1: how Tyrode might win the m v P just for 1543 01:15:43,080 --> 01:15:46,240 Speaker 1: not playing like you. Just this team is unplayable. I 1544 01:15:46,280 --> 01:15:49,080 Speaker 1: think with Davis Mills. I mean, he like, look how 1545 01:15:49,280 --> 01:15:51,920 Speaker 1: much Zach Wilson and Trevor Lawrence are struggling. Put them 1546 01:15:51,920 --> 01:15:55,240 Speaker 1: on the Texans um and then turn them into Davis Mills. 1547 01:15:55,680 --> 01:15:59,000 Speaker 1: But because they're much better than Davis Mills. Over under, 1548 01:15:59,040 --> 01:16:01,639 Speaker 1: I'll set it at three and a half how much 1549 01:16:01,680 --> 01:16:04,040 Speaker 1: the second place team in the a f C finishes 1550 01:16:04,080 --> 01:16:08,720 Speaker 1: behind the Bills the a f C a C East. Sorry, 1551 01:16:09,160 --> 01:16:11,240 Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I don't think that was bold, 1552 01:16:11,240 --> 01:16:13,120 Speaker 1: although I'm kind of with you that I would take 1553 01:16:13,160 --> 01:16:14,800 Speaker 1: the Bills as the number one seed right now. If 1554 01:16:14,840 --> 01:16:18,400 Speaker 1: I had to choose, Uh, what should the over underbe? 1555 01:16:18,640 --> 01:16:22,040 Speaker 1: Three and a half? I said it, Oh, under them? Three? 1556 01:16:22,600 --> 01:16:24,960 Speaker 1: Three is a lot. I think they're gonna go thirteen 1557 01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:27,400 Speaker 1: and four, and I'm not feeling too hot about the 1558 01:16:27,400 --> 01:16:30,519 Speaker 1: rest of the division anymore. That's true, but I'm not 1559 01:16:30,600 --> 01:16:34,439 Speaker 1: trusting my prognostication skills. And three is just to get 1560 01:16:34,479 --> 01:16:36,720 Speaker 1: four games ahead. That's like a lot. I mean, the 1561 01:16:36,720 --> 01:16:41,160 Speaker 1: Pats did it probably. I think the Pats seven or eight. 1562 01:16:41,240 --> 01:16:45,400 Speaker 1: You know, is it toxic in Miami? You know it is? 1563 01:16:45,400 --> 01:16:47,639 Speaker 1: Is it weird as it feels like it's getting Let's 1564 01:16:47,680 --> 01:16:49,720 Speaker 1: go to that game, then, all right, is our last game. 1565 01:16:49,760 --> 01:16:53,280 Speaker 1: It is the Colts at the Dolphins. The Colts obviously 1566 01:16:53,400 --> 01:16:57,120 Speaker 1: you needed them, In fact, many of us expected them 1567 01:16:57,160 --> 01:16:59,160 Speaker 1: to get off the mat and what felt like a 1568 01:16:59,240 --> 01:17:02,360 Speaker 1: must win against a Titans team that still feels vulnerable, 1569 01:17:02,640 --> 01:17:04,599 Speaker 1: and they couldn't do it. They just couldn't figure it out. 1570 01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:07,120 Speaker 1: So then you're like, Okay, maybe the Colts just aren't 1571 01:17:07,200 --> 01:17:10,200 Speaker 1: any good. We talked about on Tuesday, Greg extreme starts 1572 01:17:10,240 --> 01:17:11,559 Speaker 1: that I think you and I are in the same 1573 01:17:11,600 --> 01:17:14,160 Speaker 1: boat that they could come back. Well, if they're going to, 1574 01:17:14,560 --> 01:17:17,120 Speaker 1: they gotta beat the Dolphins. And by the way, what 1575 01:17:17,280 --> 01:17:20,479 Speaker 1: makes this an interesting game is that Dolphins absolutely need 1576 01:17:20,479 --> 01:17:23,000 Speaker 1: this game too, because if you look where they are 1577 01:17:23,080 --> 01:17:26,280 Speaker 1: schedule wise, if they don't win this game, I believe 1578 01:17:26,280 --> 01:17:29,080 Speaker 1: they have the Bucks next week and more trouble after that. 1579 01:17:29,240 --> 01:17:32,519 Speaker 1: So their season could be in deep, deep ruin if 1580 01:17:32,560 --> 01:17:34,559 Speaker 1: they don't find to win a way to win this game. 1581 01:17:34,720 --> 01:17:39,040 Speaker 1: Sneaky high stakes here, Yeah, there. I trust in the Dolphins. 1582 01:17:39,120 --> 01:17:41,000 Speaker 1: I think they're better than the some of their parts. 1583 01:17:41,280 --> 01:17:43,360 Speaker 1: I think they'll win this game. These are the two 1584 01:17:43,400 --> 01:17:47,439 Speaker 1: worst past blocking offensive lines according to PFF. Not a 1585 01:17:47,520 --> 01:17:50,280 Speaker 1: huge shock if you've watched the Dolphins game, but man, 1586 01:17:50,360 --> 01:17:53,360 Speaker 1: that's the opposite of what we expected out of the Colts. 1587 01:17:53,360 --> 01:17:56,639 Speaker 1: And they've had injuries and Eric Fisher is just coming back. 1588 01:17:56,680 --> 01:17:59,280 Speaker 1: But what are we talking about here if we've got 1589 01:17:59,280 --> 01:18:01,719 Speaker 1: one of the worst path stocking offensive lines and Carson 1590 01:18:01,720 --> 01:18:04,000 Speaker 1: Wentz can't move. And then the thing that stuck out 1591 01:18:04,040 --> 01:18:07,160 Speaker 1: to me and that Titans game is the Colts defensive 1592 01:18:07,160 --> 01:18:09,720 Speaker 1: stars aren't the same. Darius Leonard is banged up right 1593 01:18:09,720 --> 01:18:12,920 Speaker 1: now and kind of playing through it. Buckner has been quiet. 1594 01:18:13,320 --> 01:18:15,679 Speaker 1: Kenny Moore and and is Zavier Rhodes who were playing 1595 01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:17,400 Speaker 1: well like they're giving a big play, like there's not 1596 01:18:17,439 --> 01:18:19,920 Speaker 1: a lot They have their what is it your hat 1597 01:18:20,000 --> 01:18:23,240 Speaker 1: to hang on? They they have not gonna put They're 1598 01:18:23,320 --> 01:18:25,599 Speaker 1: just wearing their hat. They're not gonna hang it. They 1599 01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:27,519 Speaker 1: just gotta wear it because they got nothing they do 1600 01:18:27,600 --> 01:18:29,800 Speaker 1: well right now, the you know, and it it just 1601 01:18:29,880 --> 01:18:33,320 Speaker 1: goes back to, hey, we're gonna reunite Jalen Waddle with 1602 01:18:33,400 --> 01:18:35,720 Speaker 1: TWA and it's gonna it's gonna unlock him and you're 1603 01:18:35,720 --> 01:18:39,120 Speaker 1: gonna see why he's special. Just draft the tackle man, 1604 01:18:39,320 --> 01:18:42,960 Speaker 1: Just draft later, draft seol, get the guy protection up 1605 01:18:42,960 --> 01:18:45,120 Speaker 1: front and I get it. You already invested in Austin 1606 01:18:45,200 --> 01:18:47,920 Speaker 1: Jackson and it got Eichenberg that a lot of teams liked. 1607 01:18:48,600 --> 01:18:53,720 Speaker 1: Uh later they the whole line is struggling. It's you know. 1608 01:18:53,760 --> 01:18:56,240 Speaker 1: And look, it's worked out to some degree for Burrow, 1609 01:18:56,280 --> 01:18:58,120 Speaker 1: he's still getting hit a little too much, a cringe 1610 01:18:58,160 --> 01:19:00,400 Speaker 1: every time he takes a shot. But Jamar Chase has 1611 01:19:00,439 --> 01:19:02,680 Speaker 1: worked out really well instead of one of the tackles. Right, 1612 01:19:02,720 --> 01:19:04,760 Speaker 1: it sounds good until you get to week three and 1613 01:19:04,760 --> 01:19:07,920 Speaker 1: you have to Kobe Brissett not having time to get 1614 01:19:07,960 --> 01:19:14,320 Speaker 1: the ball to I mean it is terrible. Um, they 1615 01:19:14,320 --> 01:19:17,200 Speaker 1: are Dolphins, Let's be honest. There one Damian Harris fumble 1616 01:19:17,240 --> 01:19:19,160 Speaker 1: away from being old and through that. And but you 1617 01:19:19,200 --> 01:19:22,280 Speaker 1: love the Raiders. They pushed them to overdime. I know 1618 01:19:22,320 --> 01:19:24,840 Speaker 1: it took I just got I love having to I 1619 01:19:24,840 --> 01:19:26,599 Speaker 1: know it's a short game. We're not talking to lot, 1620 01:19:26,640 --> 01:19:29,360 Speaker 1: but I love having Jacobe back. He's great. He's talking 1621 01:19:29,360 --> 01:19:31,880 Speaker 1: about a gamer. Talk about a guy who puts his 1622 01:19:31,960 --> 01:19:36,160 Speaker 1: lunch pale on. I mean he puts don't know, he's 1623 01:19:35,920 --> 01:19:39,760 Speaker 1: like his put hard hat brings this lunch pale. There's 1624 01:19:39,800 --> 01:19:42,519 Speaker 1: something about him. Fourth and nine game on the line, 1625 01:19:42,720 --> 01:19:45,240 Speaker 1: hits it fourth and one on the goal line, game 1626 01:19:45,280 --> 01:19:46,960 Speaker 1: on the line, puts his foot in the dirt and 1627 01:19:47,000 --> 01:19:49,519 Speaker 1: makes a guy miss, hits the two point conversion with 1628 01:19:49,560 --> 01:19:52,519 Speaker 1: the game online, fourth and twenty on overtime, he hits it. 1629 01:19:52,600 --> 01:19:55,000 Speaker 1: There is something about it was almost like having a 1630 01:19:55,000 --> 01:19:58,479 Speaker 1: good backup quarterback, as as you don't want him be 1631 01:19:58,520 --> 01:20:00,639 Speaker 1: your starter, but he's like he's got like a Frank 1632 01:20:00,760 --> 01:20:02,760 Speaker 1: vich Reich vibe, where if you put him in the 1633 01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:05,479 Speaker 1: playoff game, I somehow believe that he'll make the keep playing. 1634 01:20:05,600 --> 01:20:07,200 Speaker 1: Here's here's what I was saying. By the way, at 1635 01:20:07,200 --> 01:20:10,160 Speaker 1: the top of this, the Colts obviously owned three. They 1636 01:20:10,160 --> 01:20:12,760 Speaker 1: don't beat Miami this week, they're own four and going 1637 01:20:12,800 --> 01:20:15,719 Speaker 1: to Baltimore, have a nice season, and enjoy golf in January. 1638 01:20:16,120 --> 01:20:18,800 Speaker 1: The Dolphins, if they don't take care of business here, 1639 01:20:18,840 --> 01:20:20,640 Speaker 1: if they lose and go to one in three, then 1640 01:20:20,680 --> 01:20:24,120 Speaker 1: they're at Tampa and they're one and four. But if 1641 01:20:24,160 --> 01:20:27,639 Speaker 1: they win this game, you get beaten Tampa. Okay, you're fine, 1642 01:20:27,920 --> 01:20:29,519 Speaker 1: You're right, you're two and three because then you got 1643 01:20:29,560 --> 01:20:32,559 Speaker 1: at Jacksonville home Atlanta the next two weeks and you're 1644 01:20:32,560 --> 01:20:35,960 Speaker 1: gonna be okay. But don't lose this game, I'll lose it. 1645 01:20:36,720 --> 01:20:40,200 Speaker 1: I believe of the four units. Um, Sorry, special teams. 1646 01:20:40,240 --> 01:20:43,160 Speaker 1: I know you're an important part, but the Dolphins defense 1647 01:20:43,240 --> 01:20:45,479 Speaker 1: is the best of the four units, and that should 1648 01:20:45,479 --> 01:20:47,640 Speaker 1: be that. Yeah, that should still be the difference in 1649 01:20:47,720 --> 01:20:50,080 Speaker 1: this game. Money, you've said it all. I have. I've 1650 01:20:50,080 --> 01:20:52,439 Speaker 1: said too much. It's why this pot is an hour. Now. 1651 01:20:52,520 --> 01:20:55,519 Speaker 1: This is actually where we're trending in the right direction, 1652 01:20:55,640 --> 01:20:58,240 Speaker 1: where this is our shortest Thursday show a couple of minutes. 1653 01:20:58,280 --> 01:21:02,280 Speaker 1: So we're doing thank you money, um. And in case 1654 01:21:02,720 --> 01:21:05,320 Speaker 1: we haven't mentioned it, we have a television show together. 1655 01:21:05,800 --> 01:21:10,479 Speaker 1: It's called Power Rankings US on NFL Network Tuesdays at 1656 01:21:10,560 --> 01:21:13,479 Speaker 1: three o'clock.
