<v Speaker 1>stepping in. Also the voice of the Chargers of course,

0:00:56.920 --> 0:00:59.720
<v Speaker 1>So you're a very busy man. Big radio show here

0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:02.720
<v Speaker 1>in l as well with Petro's but in the Mark

0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:05.679
<v Speaker 1>Sessler chair for the week four preview show. This is

0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:08.080
<v Speaker 1>the first time we've done this with you. Excited for

0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:11.880
<v Speaker 1>this maiden void. Well, I'm honored obviously. I am mom

0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:14.240
<v Speaker 1>Gonna's used the word obviously twice. I am pointing out

0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:17.319
<v Speaker 1>the obvious. Uh sass. If you're listening, love you, wish

0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:19.040
<v Speaker 1>you the best to get better soon so I don't

0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:20.520
<v Speaker 1>have to keep doing it because I had too much

0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:23.840
<v Speaker 1>on my plate. Quaite too much on my plate. We're

0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:26.560
<v Speaker 1>like Greg the way we are asking people for help. Now.

0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:29.160
<v Speaker 1>We used to be once, by the time, the most

0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:32.759
<v Speaker 1>self contained organism in this entire media group. We never

0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:34.560
<v Speaker 1>asked anybody on the show. We never had guests, we

0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:37.880
<v Speaker 1>never had anything. Now we're like hitting up all our buddies. Uh.

0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:40.240
<v Speaker 1>And I think they're starting to get a little annoyed. Right.

0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:42.440
<v Speaker 1>We have Claibon and Weiss are on the A t

0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:45.360
<v Speaker 1>N broadcast this week. People should check that out Saturday

0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:48.080
<v Speaker 1>mornings or Saturday afternoons in the UK. But yeah, it

0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:50.919
<v Speaker 1>is that balance of like, should we ask Claiban two

0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:53.680
<v Speaker 1>or three times to help us this week? Let's let's

0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:56.320
<v Speaker 1>get money to take one of those Claiban spots. It's

0:01:56.400 --> 0:02:00.040
<v Speaker 1>it's a delicate balance, right. It's it's a because I

0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.680
<v Speaker 1>want to be invited, I want to be wanted. I

0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:05.160
<v Speaker 1>want you to want me. But at the same time,

0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:08.000
<v Speaker 1>I also don't really want to do it. But but

0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:10.800
<v Speaker 1>it's but it truly is, you know, it's the scales

0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:14.200
<v Speaker 1>of justice, and there's a there is a balance, like

0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:16.800
<v Speaker 1>there is there is a time, let's say two weeks

0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:18.720
<v Speaker 1>from now, if I hit up money again, it's gonna

0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:20.680
<v Speaker 1>be like zeuster. I wish you could do it. It's

0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:23.200
<v Speaker 1>just at the time, my time is too valuable right now.

0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:25.480
<v Speaker 1>I just can't listen help you out. All I'll say

0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:27.760
<v Speaker 1>is always ask, because you know I don't care if

0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:30.160
<v Speaker 1>I offend you by saying no, So feel free to

0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:33.200
<v Speaker 1>always ask. Um. I know this from the hip. This

0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:35.240
<v Speaker 1>is meaty. I know this is a Meadi show because

0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:37.400
<v Speaker 1>I listen. I love the Around the NFL podcast, so

0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:39.480
<v Speaker 1>I know how how big this one is. It's going

0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:40.920
<v Speaker 1>to take a little while to get through all this,

0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:43.840
<v Speaker 1>and I don't like playing the grab bass to start

0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:46.240
<v Speaker 1>the pod. That just seems like such a you know,

0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:50.480
<v Speaker 1>BS pod cliche, like hey, we're fun, loving god, we've

0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:52.640
<v Speaker 1>been doing it for eight years and you're you're gonna

0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:54.720
<v Speaker 1>do it now. I'm just gonna get and you don't,

0:02:55.320 --> 0:03:00.320
<v Speaker 1>with all due respect, before before you insult somebody, you

0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:02.560
<v Speaker 1>you had to carry the last show because Dan's voice

0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:07.360
<v Speaker 1>was blown out. Yet you guys never shared why his

0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:10.760
<v Speaker 1>voice was blown out. I didn't know. I didn't ask,

0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:13.239
<v Speaker 1>to be honest, Why don't you tell everyone, Dan why

0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:15.799
<v Speaker 1>your voice was blown out? All right? I will, and

0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:18.400
<v Speaker 1>I do appreciate you putting me on the spot. I

0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:22.240
<v Speaker 1>just figured it was the you know, vocal content. Wait

0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:23.720
<v Speaker 1>do you hear this one? Wait? Do you hear this one?

0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:29.639
<v Speaker 1>I blew out my voice on a Saturday afternoon. Come on,

0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:33.440
<v Speaker 1>spit it out there because gian Carlos Stanton hit a

0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:37.960
<v Speaker 1>grand slam over the Green Monster and down Streight. It

0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:40.600
<v Speaker 1>was I mean, it's a disgrace. It is a disgrace.

0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:44.040
<v Speaker 1>I know something big must have happened, because Dan knows

0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:46.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't really follow the baseball so much anymore, but

0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:48.520
<v Speaker 1>he did send me what I suspect was like a

0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:51.560
<v Speaker 1>half drunk text about like how my dad is feeling

0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:53.480
<v Speaker 1>about it? And I was like, I don't know what

0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:55.600
<v Speaker 1>are you even talking about my dad? Like I wasn't

0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:57.640
<v Speaker 1>I didn't, I wasn't aware of the game at that point.

0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:00.000
<v Speaker 1>But you know, it's a big moment. As I told

0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:01.920
<v Speaker 1>that text, that was the first one all season act

0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:04.600
<v Speaker 1>like a professional. Yeah, well no, that was a learning,

0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:07.080
<v Speaker 1>learning lesson. In fact, I woke up Sunday morning and

0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:09.600
<v Speaker 1>I was like, usually it's just it's if I have

0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:13.800
<v Speaker 1>a big screaming sports event, which is good because sometimes

0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:16.960
<v Speaker 1>no it's not. How about we don't scream their exactly

0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:20.320
<v Speaker 1>they're on TV. This is exactly first one. All right,

0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:24.520
<v Speaker 1>choir boy. The one thing I don't like about working

0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:26.520
<v Speaker 1>in sports is all the people like me that grew

0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:28.600
<v Speaker 1>up loving sports all of a sudden are too cool

0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:31.039
<v Speaker 1>for sports, Like why would you ever cheer? Why would

0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:33.320
<v Speaker 1>you ever get excited for a sporting event? I still

0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:36.239
<v Speaker 1>love my teams. I love the Yankees, I love the Nicks,

0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:39.479
<v Speaker 1>I love the Jets, obviously, and sometimes it gets away

0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:41.480
<v Speaker 1>from me, and that was there's just a I will

0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:44.520
<v Speaker 1>learn from it. But also it's just that's also why

0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:46.560
<v Speaker 1>I've worked in this business, because I'm passionate about it.

0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:48.960
<v Speaker 1>Part of me is embarrassed for you, and part of

0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:52.640
<v Speaker 1>me envies you because I am one of those too

0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:56.960
<v Speaker 1>cool to cheer for teams guys, and I have I'm

0:04:57.000 --> 0:04:59.320
<v Speaker 1>not too cool. I get into it. It's more at

0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:02.680
<v Speaker 1>this point like him as tennis and basketball leavel not

0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:04.880
<v Speaker 1>not football as much, but it's more you want to

0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:07.120
<v Speaker 1>be an example for your kids. I was worried, like

0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:09.479
<v Speaker 1>my dad was visiting. I mentioned that, and I was

0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:12.320
<v Speaker 1>praying the Patriots would stomp the Jets because which thank

0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:16.560
<v Speaker 1>you for the context now if he had left at

0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:20.240
<v Speaker 1>that point, but I didn't want him screaming and swearing

0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:22.880
<v Speaker 1>during a bad Patriots game in front of my in

0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:25.680
<v Speaker 1>front of my boy. That's bad. It's bad. That's bad.

0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:29.000
<v Speaker 1>That's good for that for the boys. I definitely do

0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:31.360
<v Speaker 1>watch the swearing. I don't do that, but it's hard

0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:33.480
<v Speaker 1>not to get excited ed s. I knocked it off

0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:36.680
<v Speaker 1>the rails, and I will. I do declare vengeance upon

0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 1>you Money. We're bringing that up. It's only about the

0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:41.800
<v Speaker 1>fiftieth time you've declared vengeance upon and guess what, this

0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:46.200
<v Speaker 1>time it's coming. That's right. I declared vengeance on Money

0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:48.599
<v Speaker 1>last week. That's right. When I'm in the makeup chair

0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:51.000
<v Speaker 1>and it's hot down there, they haven't figured out the

0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:54.400
<v Speaker 1>air conditions. A little vengeance. I had a little fan

0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:56.479
<v Speaker 1>on me and then there was someone working on my

0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:58.880
<v Speaker 1>hair and on my face. Was a moment, and then

0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:01.000
<v Speaker 1>he's taken video and Greg, you know that's out of bounds.

0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:03.160
<v Speaker 1>You don't take video in the makeup room to try

0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:04.880
<v Speaker 1>to them know you're right. Gregg doesn't, but I do.

0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:09.560
<v Speaker 1>That's kin a guy. I am. Here we go, get

0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:11.640
<v Speaker 1>to it all right, Here we go week four. You

0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:13.400

0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:16.320

0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:26.040
<v Speaker 1>And I'm just gonna this song. I'm gonna say who

0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:29.840
<v Speaker 1>the guest is a little Dasha zest to the conversation

0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:34.039
<v Speaker 1>when this particular person open up the cabinet, take something

0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:36.200
<v Speaker 1>out of the cabinet, and then you little dash of it.

0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:40.400
<v Speaker 1>Any particular spice likes at the Italian, just tell me

0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:42.159
<v Speaker 1>and Ricky can beep it out. I just want to

0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:45.000
<v Speaker 1>know you haven't pieced it together. He literally just said,

0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:50.320
<v Speaker 1>spice spice rack. We'll be joining me, Brad Spiceler, Cincinnati

0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:54.280
<v Speaker 1>native Chris Westling, Buddy, there we go, and um the

0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:59.280
<v Speaker 1>Chris Westling Desert Consigliari will be talking Bengals and number

0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:02.200
<v Speaker 1>one draft pick Waterbacks that's coming up later tonight to

0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:05.120
<v Speaker 1>look for that. Let's start first before we get into

0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:07.560
<v Speaker 1>our draft, and Money will participate in the draft, and

0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:10.920
<v Speaker 1>maybe that will be how we get Shooks games sorted out,

0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:13.920
<v Speaker 1>and maybe Patrick will figure all that out without Mark here.

0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:17.240
<v Speaker 1>But before any of that, let's start with the primetime games.

0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:20.400
<v Speaker 1>And where else to start but Sunday Night football and Greg,

0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:23.160
<v Speaker 1>you've you've I know, I know how you are. Greg.

0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:27.480
<v Speaker 1>You have been avoiding this conversation on the show as

0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:29.160
<v Speaker 1>long as you can. And he did a good job,

0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:30.800
<v Speaker 1>and I was distracted with other things too, so I

0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:33.120
<v Speaker 1>didn't really get a chance to drill in on it.

0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:35.720
<v Speaker 1>But this is it. This is what you've been fearing

0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:39.360
<v Speaker 1>your whole life. Tom Brady is coming to Foxboro, and

0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:41.760
<v Speaker 1>not only coming to Foxborough. This is something I feel

0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:44.960
<v Speaker 1>like you brought up last May. You're like and if

0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:47.320
<v Speaker 1>you figure out, you see where his numbers are, it

0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:49.680
<v Speaker 1>might line up that he could break Drew brees is

0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:53.800
<v Speaker 1>passing record. They said it exactly for this purpose. They

0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:55.960
<v Speaker 1>So you had mentioned that I remember a few maybe

0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:58.080
<v Speaker 1>a couple of months back, and that's exactly where we

0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:00.720
<v Speaker 1>are now. After Brady went over for for four hundred

0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:03.200
<v Speaker 1>last week against the Rams. So not only is Tom

0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:05.400
<v Speaker 1>Brady coming back to Foxborrow with Gronk by the way,

0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:07.480
<v Speaker 1>he has a chance to set the record and that's

0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:09.680
<v Speaker 1>a stop down the game situation. I guess I think

0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:11.920
<v Speaker 1>it was for Drew Brees. I don't think so on

0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:14.240
<v Speaker 1>the road and they're not gonna well, this isn't any

0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:16.559
<v Speaker 1>road game, Greg, And that's what this is all about,

0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:19.320
<v Speaker 1>because not only is Brady back, and you know he

0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:22.920
<v Speaker 1>wants to deliver a whipping on his old coach, it's

0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:26.440
<v Speaker 1>at a vulnerable time for the Patriots, like all of

0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:32.400
<v Speaker 1>the fan stuff and the Brady returns and the relationship stuff.

0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:38.880
<v Speaker 1>I almost don't wanna dive into it much. And yet

0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:42.720
<v Speaker 1>the Patriots are so boring right now as a football team,

0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:45.040
<v Speaker 1>and the Bucks are sort of what they are right now.

0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:48.400
<v Speaker 1>They're a one dimensional team that doesn't really run the ball.

0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:52.439
<v Speaker 1>Well that's at this point overrated defensively, and you can

0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:54.040
<v Speaker 1>move the ball against I think it might be Mac

0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:56.720
<v Speaker 1>jones best chance to make some plays is this game,

0:08:56.760 --> 0:09:00.600
<v Speaker 1>because they're so Boomer bust um that I and this

0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:03.360
<v Speaker 1>Patriots team a little boring right now. It's a good

0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:07.640
<v Speaker 1>it's not a great defense. They're a totally disappointing offensive line.

0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:11.040
<v Speaker 1>It's a station to station offense. But it gets kind

0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:17.440
<v Speaker 1>of back to the Tom Brady of So it's crazy

0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:20.600
<v Speaker 1>that he's returning to New England not just as a

0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:23.600
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl champion, but as arguably the best quarterback in

0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:26.040
<v Speaker 1>the league. And it gets to where Brady was in

0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:29.240
<v Speaker 1>I went to look at their rank, his ranking on

0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:30.920
<v Speaker 1>the QB Index end of the year. It's a good

0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:35.000
<v Speaker 1>it's a good field tenth and eighteen, fourteenth and nineteen.

0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:37.520
<v Speaker 1>And I think about those Patriots teams and I think

0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:40.720
<v Speaker 1>how lame they were at the skill positions. And I

0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:42.680
<v Speaker 1>look at this team again, and I watched them last

0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:45.440
<v Speaker 1>weekendst the Saints, and I was like, this is another

0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:49.559
<v Speaker 1>lame Patriots offense, especially at the skill positions. And it's

0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:53.080
<v Speaker 1>almost like Brady always made those skill positions look better

0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:55.080
<v Speaker 1>than they really are. And they tried to make some

0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:57.600
<v Speaker 1>signings this offseason and they'll probably get better this year.

0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:00.600
<v Speaker 1>But it's it's very similar to me, except now you've

0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:02.679
<v Speaker 1>got a rookie quarterback running instead of one of the

0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:05.800
<v Speaker 1>greatest ever. Well, you know, I I don't know if

0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:08.360
<v Speaker 1>it was you guys, but it seemed like consensus was, oh,

0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:11.400
<v Speaker 1>just you know, think back to those early oots. That's

0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:15.000
<v Speaker 1>the way this is gonna look. Dominant defense, dominant offensive line.

0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:19.000
<v Speaker 1>They're signing Hunter Henry and John hu Smith to be there,

0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:22.560
<v Speaker 1>Rob Ronkowski and Aaron Hernandez, and that's gonna help out

0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:25.080
<v Speaker 1>Mac Jones with which throws to the middle of the field.

0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:27.720
<v Speaker 1>I think we're still waiting for it, you know where

0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:29.800
<v Speaker 1>I think you said it best. You know, look, Damian

0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:32.199
<v Speaker 1>Harris look great in week one, right, I mean outside

0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:34.680
<v Speaker 1>of that fumble, It's like, Okay, this is this is

0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:37.440
<v Speaker 1>what we anticipated. Is their sizzle. Not really a lot,

0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:40.160
<v Speaker 1>but you can win games this way. And Bill Belichick,

0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:42.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, and and his ability to coach and and

0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:45.240
<v Speaker 1>to help on those margins, the inches that you have

0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:47.439
<v Speaker 1>to account for. That that gets you twenty one to

0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:50.960
<v Speaker 1>eighteen wins or twenty four to one wins. And I

0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:52.679
<v Speaker 1>just don't know if Mac Jones and the offense is

0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:56.240
<v Speaker 1>good at it's different, is different from two thousand five.

0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:59.719
<v Speaker 1>You've got to score points. I mean, they're better offensively

0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:02.800
<v Speaker 1>than we're when Tom Brady right starter in oh one already,

0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:05.200
<v Speaker 1>that's how bad that offense was one of the worst offenses.

0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:09.320
<v Speaker 1>That's the thing is it's a different era. It's like

0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:11.800
<v Speaker 1>they're trying to play to a different era and their

0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:15.120
<v Speaker 1>defense is not that good. They've played three pretty poor

0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:18.080
<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks in a row. I think up front they've been

0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:20.800
<v Speaker 1>dominated until last week. They were okay. On the defensive line,

0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:24.520
<v Speaker 1>they're an average two maybe better than average offense defense,

0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:26.240
<v Speaker 1>but that doesn't get you very far. There's a lot

0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:27.760
<v Speaker 1>of those and I don't think it's gonna get you

0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:30.520
<v Speaker 1>many stops against Tom Brady. So I do think it's

0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:32.840
<v Speaker 1>interesting because at the end of the Brady era in

0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:36.280
<v Speaker 1>New England, they their skill positions had dried up, and

0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:37.880
<v Speaker 1>we were told it was you know, they had some

0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:41.000
<v Speaker 1>roster maneuvering that made it difficult to get better. This offseason,

0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:42.840
<v Speaker 1>they went out of the way and spent, like we said,

0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:45.600
<v Speaker 1>Hunter Henry Johns, remember all the hype about that when

0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:48.360
<v Speaker 1>they came in Nelson Agilare, which was a signing that

0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:52.600
<v Speaker 1>got and and you're not seeing this and Damien Harrison.

0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:55.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, okay, they can run the football and Damien Harrison.

0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:59.040
<v Speaker 1>Then you read about Damien Harris can't pass protect. So

0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:01.280
<v Speaker 1>that's why may he's not getting on the fields as

0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:03.880
<v Speaker 1>much as again And now now James White is out

0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:05.679
<v Speaker 1>of the lineup for the season, most likely with the

0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:08.240
<v Speaker 1>hip injury. And I guess this is my kind of

0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:11.840
<v Speaker 1>last point on this, Greg that um isn't a little

0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:15.079
<v Speaker 1>bit ironic, Greg that just as above the treetops, now

0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:18.080
<v Speaker 1>you know what? You know what's not rain on your

0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:21.719
<v Speaker 1>wedding thing? No, that is not not Atlantas kind of

0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:25.760
<v Speaker 1>blew that one world before. But um, I have bad luck.

0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:30.080
<v Speaker 1>I had some pie on my face for my hashtag

0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:35.240
<v Speaker 1>gradual decline prediction of Brady and the late teens. Um,

0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:39.480
<v Speaker 1>But guess what didn't It turned out it was the Patriots, Yes,

0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:43.520
<v Speaker 1>that ultimately mis evaluated their own guy. And I think

0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:45.840
<v Speaker 1>it's just telling that the best quarterback in the league,

0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:49.360
<v Speaker 1>arguably two one, is back in New England now where

0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:52.880
<v Speaker 1>this didn't have to be this way. I guess he

0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:55.120
<v Speaker 1>could have been Derek Jeter with the Iggas, could have

0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:57.520
<v Speaker 1>spent his whole career there. We're not relitigating this, but

0:12:57.679 --> 0:12:59.560
<v Speaker 1>it is. It is a part of the story that

0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:02.199
<v Speaker 1>he remained great and the Patriots didn't have the foresight

0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:05.360
<v Speaker 1>to see that or make the relationship what it needed

0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:07.800
<v Speaker 1>to be, and there's no way around it. That's part

0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:10.400
<v Speaker 1>of this game. They they've they've been handling this well,

0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:14.200
<v Speaker 1>Belichick and Brady publicly very well. But the part where

0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:16.280
<v Speaker 1>Belichick was like, well I didn't want him to leave,

0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:19.160
<v Speaker 1>It's like come on, right, It's like, come on, I

0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:22.440
<v Speaker 1>mean to be fair, no one wanted Tom Brady, including

0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:25.319
<v Speaker 1>the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He got paid about the same

0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:28.400
<v Speaker 1>amount of money as Teddy Bridgewater as a free agent.

0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:31.559
<v Speaker 1>The entire NFL could have come in and given him

0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:33.640
<v Speaker 1>some money, and no one wanted to give him money.

0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:36.480
<v Speaker 1>They gave him basically minimum salary, and even the Bucks

0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:38.199
<v Speaker 1>were like, now we're not gonna go off that, We're

0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:41.079
<v Speaker 1>not gonna go above that. Charges wanted him, wanted him,

0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:43.520
<v Speaker 1>but no one wanted to No one believed that he

0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:46.400
<v Speaker 1>was a difference making quarterback, or they wouldn't have offered

0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:50.080
<v Speaker 1>him a lower salary than Derek. But that's missing the point.

0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:53.000
<v Speaker 1>That's my point Isntory. It should have known. These other

0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:55.880
<v Speaker 1>teams didn't have access to Brady, so they're seeing from

0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:58.280
<v Speaker 1>the outside it looks like he's getting old. New England

0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:00.200
<v Speaker 1>wasn't able to see that This guy could still will

0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:03.040
<v Speaker 1>be incredible if you just get things fixed around him

0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:05.240
<v Speaker 1>and treat him like the legend that he is, not

0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:07.400
<v Speaker 1>like just another guy that's in your life. If that

0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:09.320
<v Speaker 1>would get old, I don't. I don't mean that. I

0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:12.080
<v Speaker 1>don't want this to be hot taking, but I know

0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:14.480
<v Speaker 1>it's going to come out that way. To me. This

0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:16.960
<v Speaker 1>this is so not a big deal, Like it really

0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:20.160
<v Speaker 1>is not. The guy won the freaking Super Bowl, he

0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:21.880
<v Speaker 1>was one of the he was the best quarterback in

0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:23.920
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs. He's one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL.

0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:28.120
<v Speaker 1>This is nothing. This game against Bill Belichick him. Yeah,

0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:30.920
<v Speaker 1>I think just in general it's it is for this week.

0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:32.520
<v Speaker 1>But in the scheme of things, you know what I mean,

0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:36.640
<v Speaker 1>Like it's I think it means a lot to him.

0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:39.280
<v Speaker 1>But he's saying it's gonna be It's gonna mean a

0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:40.800
<v Speaker 1>lot to Belcheck. It is fast, and he just says

0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:43.240
<v Speaker 1>that someone who loves football to see what he tries

0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:46.040
<v Speaker 1>to do to stop them, because they are traditionally like

0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:48.200
<v Speaker 1>a man to man type of defense. I don't think

0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:51.000
<v Speaker 1>they got you know, they've been played more zone this year.

0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:54.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't think they have. Um, the guys, they really

0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:56.960
<v Speaker 1>missed Stephan Gilmour this week to to go man to man.

0:14:57.160 --> 0:14:59.160
<v Speaker 1>They they you would think they would adopt what the

0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:01.200
<v Speaker 1>Rams tried do and what teams try to do now,

0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:03.320
<v Speaker 1>which is just like put two safeties back there, make

0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:05.640
<v Speaker 1>them worked out up and down the field as slowly

0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:07.480
<v Speaker 1>as possible, and hope he makes a mistake or someone

0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:09.600
<v Speaker 1>else does, which happened last week. Gronk had a couple

0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:11.760
<v Speaker 1>of key drops. There's a couple offensive wine issues, and

0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:14.400
<v Speaker 1>they ended up scoring that many touchdowns. I am fascinated

0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:16.920
<v Speaker 1>to see from like a football angle, But I also

0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:20.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm annoyed by the Patriots fans who have been so

0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:23.840
<v Speaker 1>spoiled by the greatest run in NFL history, and all

0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:27.040
<v Speaker 1>they can do is complain and wine about it. And

0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:29.360
<v Speaker 1>I get it, like you, you wish you kept Tom Brady.

0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:31.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that Tom Brady on these teams would

0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:34.040
<v Speaker 1>have been the same time Brady, But just like, have

0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:37.040
<v Speaker 1>some gratitude, I mean, just stop complaining about every let

0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:38.560
<v Speaker 1>me we gotta move on. But I do want to

0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:40.560
<v Speaker 1>ask you one question, Greg, what is in your mind

0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:44.120
<v Speaker 1>best case scenario for Sunday night in terms of how

0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Brady plays with the score is you know, give it

0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:48.400
<v Speaker 1>what I mean, they can win the game. It's the

0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:51.040
<v Speaker 1>NFL and the Bucks. Of what would would you like

0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:53.160
<v Speaker 1>it to be? Let's say it's not never gonna happen,

0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:56.080
<v Speaker 1>but thirty five three and Belichick schemes up Brady and

0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:58.320
<v Speaker 1>destroys him. Would you want there? Do you want Brady

0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:01.040
<v Speaker 1>to play well, have a nice moment in Boro back

0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:03.520
<v Speaker 1>there and Patriots still win? Obviously? What would you rather?

0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:06.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm just out of curiosity. No, I don't want Brady

0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:09.040
<v Speaker 1>to be embarrassed. I don't want the crowd's not gonna

0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:11.840
<v Speaker 1>boo him. But it would really bother me if if

0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:14.560
<v Speaker 1>they did boo him, or if they went against him.

0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:17.280
<v Speaker 1>I think it's the other way that this is. This

0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:19.880
<v Speaker 1>is a game where you expect the Bucks to win big.

0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:22.560
<v Speaker 1>I think there's been a mutiny building among a lot

0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:25.520
<v Speaker 1>of Patriots fans who have kind of become Bucks fans

0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:28.440
<v Speaker 1>and Brady fans. And the NBC is showing these ads

0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:30.640
<v Speaker 1>where it's saying it's like we're against it. It's like,

0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:32.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that's really Boston. I think a lot

0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:35.760
<v Speaker 1>of them are like our friends Burke, and they're very conflicted.

0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:37.920
<v Speaker 1>They've been loving watching Brady so have I because how

0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:40.120
<v Speaker 1>can you not live Tom Brady if you're Patriots fan?

0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:44.120
<v Speaker 1>And uh, they're they're gonna kind of like jump ship

0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:47.840
<v Speaker 1>when the Bucks drop a hammer on the Patriots. And

0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:52.960
<v Speaker 1>that's why I'm locking it up for the buck. I

0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:55.960
<v Speaker 1>can't believe you doing that. I mean, if I've got

0:16:55.960 --> 0:16:58.320
<v Speaker 1>to go oh at three and just be a total mess,

0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:00.920
<v Speaker 1>I might as well make the pick that for the show.

0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:04.640
<v Speaker 1>If the Patriots win, it's good for the show. You're

0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:07.080
<v Speaker 1>coming year old buttocks there because you're oh and three

0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:09.240
<v Speaker 1>and now you're saying you're doing the pick for the show,

0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:12.120
<v Speaker 1>But you gotta do the pick for yourself. Greg. It's

0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:14.520
<v Speaker 1>a good lock though. I mean, that's the Bucks coming

0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:17.720
<v Speaker 1>off a disappointing loss. We gotta move Monday night football.

0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:20.920
<v Speaker 1>It would be faster on everything. Also, James, the offensive

0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:22.760
<v Speaker 1>line is so terrible and James White being out for

0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:25.200
<v Speaker 1>the season kills him. He was their best player, and

0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:28.880
<v Speaker 1>as I said, Damian Harris reports that he's not. He's

0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:32.520
<v Speaker 1>failing in his coverage, I mean, in his blocking assignments.

0:17:32.560 --> 0:17:34.480
<v Speaker 1>That's why he was the best case scenario is it's

0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:36.760
<v Speaker 1>a shootout and Mac Jones looks good and I think

0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:40.760
<v Speaker 1>that's possible, all right, speaking of shootouts, Money, you will

0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:43.520
<v Speaker 1>be on the call across the sidewalk. That's so far,

0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:48.520
<v Speaker 1>so far stadium for Raiders at Chargers. This is a

0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:51.639
<v Speaker 1>great game, not a good game. A great game between

0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:53.600
<v Speaker 1>a three and o Charger Chargers team and a two

0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:55.640
<v Speaker 1>and one three and o Raiders team and a two

0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:58.760
<v Speaker 1>and one Chargers team that everyone is excited about it.

0:17:58.800 --> 0:18:01.720
<v Speaker 1>You know who's more excited than anyone, Money, Brandon Staley.

0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:05.760
<v Speaker 1>I love the way Brandon Staley goes out of his

0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:09.760
<v Speaker 1>way now back to back weeks, once after a loss,

0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:12.840
<v Speaker 1>once after win. The best player on that football field

0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:15.520
<v Speaker 1>is our quarterback. And I know Mike Williams got loved

0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:18.119
<v Speaker 1>this week too, But he's letting everyone know both and

0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:21.159
<v Speaker 1>how he calls games and what he says to the media.

0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:24.120
<v Speaker 1>I have something really special here and that's gonna take

0:18:24.200 --> 0:18:26.440
<v Speaker 1>us far. And he backs it up, you know, I mean,

0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:28.400
<v Speaker 1>I think that's the difference, right. You can, you can

0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:30.959
<v Speaker 1>say it all you want, but he backs it up.

0:18:31.040 --> 0:18:33.400
<v Speaker 1>He wants the ball in justin Herbert's hands. He wants

0:18:33.440 --> 0:18:35.679
<v Speaker 1>it with six and a half minutes left against the

0:18:35.760 --> 0:18:40.040
<v Speaker 1>Washington Football team he wants it with forty six seconds

0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:42.480
<v Speaker 1>and a fourth and nine against the Kansas City Chiefs.

0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:44.080
<v Speaker 1>And so you don't think that was just about playing

0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:45.800
<v Speaker 1>the Chiefs. You think this is sort of what they're

0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:48.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna be letting justin her I wanted to ask you, Yeah,

0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:50.520
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a message. I think it is a

0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:53.840
<v Speaker 1>message because look and and I don't think he would

0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:56.960
<v Speaker 1>say this. This is my own interpretation. I think the

0:18:57.040 --> 0:19:00.280
<v Speaker 1>last four years and I love I really, I really do.

0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:02.720
<v Speaker 1>I loved having Anthony Lean as a head coach. He

0:19:02.800 --> 0:19:04.480
<v Speaker 1>is as good a dude as you could be around

0:19:04.560 --> 0:19:06.719
<v Speaker 1>and was always very forthcoming. But I just think he

0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:11.359
<v Speaker 1>coached scared not the right word. He coached against the clock,

0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:15.200
<v Speaker 1>and I think against situational. With situational football from ten

0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:18.560
<v Speaker 1>years ago, it's like, hey, milk the clock bank him,

0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:22.120
<v Speaker 1>used their time outs and we'll win by two. And man,

0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:25.080
<v Speaker 1>this team for four years, you know the numbers. Nobody

0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:27.600
<v Speaker 1>lost more one score games, nobody lost more three point games.

0:19:27.800 --> 0:19:30.000
<v Speaker 1>And I think it was deflating that that this team

0:19:30.119 --> 0:19:33.040
<v Speaker 1>had an identity crisis of well, we're just waiting for

0:19:33.080 --> 0:19:38.280
<v Speaker 1>the bad thing to happen. Because so so I think

0:19:39.400 --> 0:19:42.520
<v Speaker 1>just saying, like the next you know he's special. He is.

0:19:43.480 --> 0:19:46.720
<v Speaker 1>He is a very very special player. There are throws

0:19:46.760 --> 0:19:49.760
<v Speaker 1>that he has made through three games this year. Particularly

0:19:49.840 --> 0:19:51.760
<v Speaker 1>one that I would point to is go back to

0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:54.400
<v Speaker 1>the Dallas game and watch that freaking rope he threw

0:19:54.400 --> 0:19:57.360
<v Speaker 1>to Keenan Allen thirty yards down the field. It was layered,

0:19:57.440 --> 0:20:00.119
<v Speaker 1>it was a laser and I cannot believe it is

0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:03.159
<v Speaker 1>completed um And I think that's just an indication. I

0:20:03.200 --> 0:20:05.240
<v Speaker 1>think Brandon Staley knows one like a couple of plays

0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:07.399
<v Speaker 1>before that got overturned that was forty five yards on

0:20:07.400 --> 0:20:09.720
<v Speaker 1>the line. Never seen it. That's what I'm talking about.

0:20:09.920 --> 0:20:11.880
<v Speaker 1>One to Keenan it was forty five yards on the line.

0:20:11.880 --> 0:20:14.600
<v Speaker 1>I got called back professionally, do you pinch us up?

0:20:14.640 --> 0:20:17.760
<v Speaker 1>Because starting Lassie's and it was Tyrod Taylor and Justin Herbert,

0:20:17.760 --> 0:20:19.879
<v Speaker 1>who was not a slam dunk prospect. A lot of

0:20:19.880 --> 0:20:22.399
<v Speaker 1>people were talking down on him. To now be walking

0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:24.880
<v Speaker 1>into it feels like a Dan Reno type talent here.

0:20:25.160 --> 0:20:27.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you guys know, I'm a college football fan

0:20:27.680 --> 0:20:30.119
<v Speaker 1>and I watched Justin Herbert and Oregon and this is

0:20:30.160 --> 0:20:32.199
<v Speaker 1>not what we saw. This is this is not how

0:20:32.240 --> 0:20:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Mario Christo Ball plays football. He plays not to turn

0:20:35.000 --> 0:20:37.120
<v Speaker 1>the ball over. He believes in his defense, his old line,

0:20:37.119 --> 0:20:39.040
<v Speaker 1>in his run game, he should be taken. He he

0:20:39.040 --> 0:20:41.560
<v Speaker 1>really absolutely should. He absolutely should. They should have won

0:20:41.600 --> 0:20:43.880
<v Speaker 1>a champ national championship if he was able to cut

0:20:43.960 --> 0:20:46.560
<v Speaker 1>him loose instead of the way he chose to use him.

0:20:46.600 --> 0:20:48.600
<v Speaker 1>So I didn't know what the Chargers were getting when

0:20:48.600 --> 0:20:50.439
<v Speaker 1>they drafted him at number six. I thought they were

0:20:50.440 --> 0:20:52.200
<v Speaker 1>getting the guy that I saw at Oregon that would

0:20:52.560 --> 0:20:55.040
<v Speaker 1>you know if his guy wasn't wide open? He talked

0:20:55.040 --> 0:20:57.360
<v Speaker 1>and ran and that doesn't work of the NFL. And man,

0:20:57.400 --> 0:21:00.160
<v Speaker 1>it's turned out to be as special a quarterback as

0:21:00.200 --> 0:21:01.879
<v Speaker 1>we have in the league. Right. Well, we'll get to

0:21:01.880 --> 0:21:03.680
<v Speaker 1>the We've talked a lot of Raiders and this is

0:21:03.720 --> 0:21:05.639
<v Speaker 1>still a Raiders the question. But we don't have money here,

0:21:05.680 --> 0:21:06.760
<v Speaker 1>So I just want to ask because you have a

0:21:06.800 --> 0:21:09.920
<v Speaker 1>good sense of this team facing this Raiders offense where

0:21:09.920 --> 0:21:14.720
<v Speaker 1>four receivers have over two hundred yards receiving. Already, car

0:21:14.800 --> 0:21:17.120
<v Speaker 1>is playing I think even better than Herbert. They're they're

0:21:17.119 --> 0:21:19.880
<v Speaker 1>both like top five level cours, playing the best ever

0:21:19.880 --> 0:21:22.560
<v Speaker 1>played in his career. He's playing this well despite a

0:21:22.560 --> 0:21:24.760
<v Speaker 1>pretty bad offensive line and no running game, which is

0:21:24.960 --> 0:21:28.440
<v Speaker 1>which is wild. How do you feel about this Chargers

0:21:28.640 --> 0:21:32.159
<v Speaker 1>defense after three weeks? And like how they match up here?

0:21:32.160 --> 0:21:34.399
<v Speaker 1>Because I don't know what I think about the Chargers defense.

0:21:34.440 --> 0:21:37.520
<v Speaker 1>So here's what my Here's the way I described the

0:21:37.960 --> 0:21:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Chargers defense is they are operating exactly how they want

0:21:43.000 --> 0:21:46.040
<v Speaker 1>to and people are saying, you can't stop the run

0:21:46.200 --> 0:21:49.200
<v Speaker 1>and four hundred yards and four hundred and fifty yards

0:21:49.200 --> 0:21:52.240
<v Speaker 1>here they figured it out, Like I think, this is

0:21:52.280 --> 0:21:55.000
<v Speaker 1>exactly what they want to do. You've got explosive offenses

0:21:55.040 --> 0:21:57.840
<v Speaker 1>in the Chiefs and the Cowboys. Cowboys just put up

0:21:57.840 --> 0:22:01.040
<v Speaker 1>a forty burger and they dropped twenty nine on the Bucks.

0:22:01.119 --> 0:22:02.800
<v Speaker 1>What do they do against the Chargers? They needed a

0:22:02.800 --> 0:22:05.760
<v Speaker 1>fifty six yard field goal at zero's to get to twenty.

0:22:05.840 --> 0:22:08.399
<v Speaker 1>The Chief's ravage in thirty five a game, what do

0:22:08.480 --> 0:22:10.879
<v Speaker 1>they do? They scored twenty four and they turn the

0:22:10.880 --> 0:22:12.520
<v Speaker 1>ball over four times. This is what they want to do.

0:22:12.720 --> 0:22:15.280
<v Speaker 1>It's you are not this has become a league of

0:22:15.320 --> 0:22:18.320
<v Speaker 1>explosive place you are not going to get your explosive.

0:22:18.760 --> 0:22:21.840
<v Speaker 1>The Raiders are like pretty much the number one team.

0:22:21.880 --> 0:22:24.800
<v Speaker 1>They're almost making me regret picking the Raiders in this game. Yeah,

0:22:24.840 --> 0:22:26.439
<v Speaker 1>So that's what I think you're gonna see is you're

0:22:26.440 --> 0:22:29.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna see a bunch of yards and people are gonna

0:22:29.119 --> 0:22:30.880
<v Speaker 1>be like, man, I don't know, is this defense for real?

0:22:30.920 --> 0:22:32.080
<v Speaker 1>And then you're not going to see a lot of

0:22:32.080 --> 0:22:34.240
<v Speaker 1>points and that's what they want. That's how they're going

0:22:34.280 --> 0:22:36.639
<v Speaker 1>to play the game. We have an inner office raffle

0:22:36.760 --> 0:22:39.240
<v Speaker 1>for these games at so far Greg one last week,

0:22:39.240 --> 0:22:41.359
<v Speaker 1>by the way, is that right? Yeah, let's uh connect

0:22:41.400 --> 0:22:43.159
<v Speaker 1>some dots about that. You're going to the game on

0:22:43.840 --> 0:22:46.960
<v Speaker 1>It was the butts game, but I gave him to Lakisa,

0:22:47.040 --> 0:22:50.240
<v Speaker 1>so Lakisa got to go with Beautiful. So I figured

0:22:50.280 --> 0:22:51.920
<v Speaker 1>there might be you know, the fix might be in.

0:22:52.040 --> 0:22:55.320
<v Speaker 1>So come at me now for that money. Now, I'm sorry.

0:22:55.880 --> 0:22:58.800
<v Speaker 1>Um I put in the raffle for tomorrow's Chargers game.

0:22:58.800 --> 0:23:00.440
<v Speaker 1>I would love to see. It's gonna be a foot out.

0:23:00.600 --> 0:23:03.560
<v Speaker 1>The Raiders were talking about their offense eight straight games

0:23:03.560 --> 0:23:06.679
<v Speaker 1>with four total yards. That was the longest active streak.

0:23:06.960 --> 0:23:09.399
<v Speaker 1>The Vikings are the next closest with four. They are

0:23:09.440 --> 0:23:12.439
<v Speaker 1>flirting with history if they if they do it again,

0:23:12.560 --> 0:23:16.119
<v Speaker 1>they tie the two thousand seven Patriots nine So and

0:23:16.160 --> 0:23:18.080
<v Speaker 1>now Josh Jacobs, but I think there's a great chance

0:23:18.080 --> 0:23:20.000
<v Speaker 1>they will. I think they'll get their yards. It's just

0:23:21.600 --> 0:23:24.840
<v Speaker 1>back um potentially for this game as well. Whatever that means.

0:23:24.880 --> 0:23:28.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what Josh. What is Josh Jacob. Well,

0:23:28.080 --> 0:23:30.560
<v Speaker 1>he's supposed to be their lead back and he returned

0:23:30.560 --> 0:23:32.720
<v Speaker 1>to practice on Thursday, so that can only give them

0:23:32.720 --> 0:23:35.879
<v Speaker 1>a little more balance. This is a great game, Picket.

0:23:36.000 --> 0:23:39.440
<v Speaker 1>You said you you picked the Raiders the Raiders on

0:23:39.800 --> 0:23:44.280
<v Speaker 1>the website com because you know I'll take the Chargers.

0:23:44.320 --> 0:23:46.040
<v Speaker 1>But I do think the Chargers win this game. To me,

0:23:46.080 --> 0:23:49.359
<v Speaker 1>it's it's Max Crosby versus Storm Norton. I mean every

0:23:49.400 --> 0:23:52.679
<v Speaker 1>it's so funny every team the three weeks that the

0:23:52.760 --> 0:23:56.240
<v Speaker 1>Chargers have played them, they start with Chase Young on

0:23:56.320 --> 0:23:59.439
<v Speaker 1>Rashawn Slater. After one series, they're like, no other side,

0:23:59.560 --> 0:24:02.400
<v Speaker 1>and they dart with Chris Jones on Reshawns. Later two

0:24:02.440 --> 0:24:04.680
<v Speaker 1>snaps and they're like, nope, other side, and they're gonna

0:24:04.680 --> 0:24:07.080
<v Speaker 1>start with Max crosbyond Reshaws later. I'm sure to see

0:24:07.119 --> 0:24:08.600
<v Speaker 1>if he can get the advantage there and they can

0:24:08.600 --> 0:24:10.440
<v Speaker 1>try to crack that code and they're gonna move to

0:24:10.480 --> 0:24:12.439
<v Speaker 1>the other side. So it's gonna be Max Crosby versus

0:24:12.880 --> 0:24:16.560
<v Speaker 1>Storm Norton, and it's gonna be Joey Boss against Alex Favorites.

0:24:16.560 --> 0:24:19.560
<v Speaker 1>The Chargers a little surprised, so that felt like a

0:24:19.600 --> 0:24:21.240
<v Speaker 1>little too rich for me. And then I just went

0:24:21.320 --> 0:24:24.480
<v Speaker 1>the whole the whole month, all right, So get ready,

0:24:24.520 --> 0:24:26.119
<v Speaker 1>this is a fun one. I know. We got to

0:24:26.160 --> 0:24:30.080
<v Speaker 1>speed it up. Let's now the primetime games right before

0:24:30.080 --> 0:24:34.800
<v Speaker 1>we get to the draft. Let's take a break. Right

0:24:35.280 --> 0:24:38.720
<v Speaker 1>here we go, we're back draft time. I got the

0:24:38.720 --> 0:24:47.760
<v Speaker 1>first overall pick, and here we're gonna start. You gotta

0:24:47.880 --> 0:24:52.720
<v Speaker 1>let's be obvious. Here Chardins at Rams. Love it. Great

0:24:52.760 --> 0:24:59.120
<v Speaker 1>a f C West game on Monday night. Great NFC

0:24:59.400 --> 0:25:05.360
<v Speaker 1>West game here. Um, the Rams to me seem like

0:25:05.720 --> 0:25:08.240
<v Speaker 1>a team that's just in a really, really good place

0:25:08.320 --> 0:25:11.280
<v Speaker 1>on both sides of the ball. The Cardinals, I can't.

0:25:11.320 --> 0:25:13.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure what to make sense of the Cardinals

0:25:13.600 --> 0:25:18.480
<v Speaker 1>right now. Greg, I see them. Obviously, they're playing winning football. Um,

0:25:18.520 --> 0:25:20.400
<v Speaker 1>but do you see them at the level of these

0:25:20.440 --> 0:25:22.960
<v Speaker 1>other top teams in the NFC right now or do

0:25:23.000 --> 0:25:25.359
<v Speaker 1>they still step beneath that. No, they need to prove that,

0:25:25.480 --> 0:25:27.359
<v Speaker 1>especially on both sides of the all, they've been run

0:25:27.400 --> 0:25:32.200
<v Speaker 1>over too easily the last few weeks, dominated by Minnesota,

0:25:32.320 --> 0:25:35.399
<v Speaker 1>sort of not embarrassing, but just shocking that J. J.

0:25:35.560 --> 0:25:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Watt and this group could steam roll. And then when

0:25:38.119 --> 0:25:40.720
<v Speaker 1>the Jaguars were running on them really well last week,

0:25:40.800 --> 0:25:42.639
<v Speaker 1>I was like, Okay, maybe this is a problem. So

0:25:42.720 --> 0:25:46.840
<v Speaker 1>normally you would expect Sean McVeigh the outside zone. Hey,

0:25:46.920 --> 0:25:49.479
<v Speaker 1>let's attack that. And so I'm kind of curious if

0:25:49.520 --> 0:25:52.199
<v Speaker 1>that's still part of the Rams arsenal, because the the

0:25:52.280 --> 0:25:54.560
<v Speaker 1>craziest thing about the Rams so far is that they

0:25:54.560 --> 0:25:58.480
<v Speaker 1>don't look anything like the Rams used to. They called

0:25:58.560 --> 0:26:01.800
<v Speaker 1>three play action as last week that used to be

0:26:01.920 --> 0:26:05.120
<v Speaker 1>like the basis of their offense. There's no outside zone.

0:26:05.200 --> 0:26:07.159
<v Speaker 1>They don't even try to run the ball there. We

0:26:07.240 --> 0:26:10.960
<v Speaker 1>are a dropped back shotgun. Let Matthew Stafford throw outside

0:26:11.000 --> 0:26:13.359
<v Speaker 1>the numbers team and it's almost like Sean mcveigh's like

0:26:13.640 --> 0:26:15.959
<v Speaker 1>flex in a little bit, being like, see, I just

0:26:15.960 --> 0:26:17.639
<v Speaker 1>did that because I had to, and we don't have

0:26:17.720 --> 0:26:21.439
<v Speaker 1>to anyone. And remember, you know, it wasn't even was

0:26:21.480 --> 0:26:22.840
<v Speaker 1>I think it was the Bears right that did it

0:26:22.880 --> 0:26:26.120
<v Speaker 1>before the Patriots, or was it the Lions Bears initially

0:26:26.480 --> 0:26:28.800
<v Speaker 1>and so came up with the recipe to stop them.

0:26:28.920 --> 0:26:31.959
<v Speaker 1>And and now it's like, well, here we go again.

0:26:32.240 --> 0:26:34.680
<v Speaker 1>You don't have the code anymore because I got Matthew Stafford,

0:26:34.760 --> 0:26:37.119
<v Speaker 1>and they may be taking some teams, especially Tampa by

0:26:37.200 --> 0:26:39.560
<v Speaker 1>surprise that it was just like totally gone. Their old

0:26:39.600 --> 0:26:41.680
<v Speaker 1>lines playing great, you know, And that's always been a

0:26:41.720 --> 0:26:43.960
<v Speaker 1>big question because they have no depth there, and there

0:26:44.040 --> 0:26:47.720
<v Speaker 1>is there. The margins are so slim at that at

0:26:47.720 --> 0:26:51.640
<v Speaker 1>that position group and it's held up Matthew Stafford looks fantastic.

0:26:52.000 --> 0:26:58.080
<v Speaker 1>They've got three, i mean four, three unique pass catching options.

0:26:58.080 --> 0:27:00.760
<v Speaker 1>Cooper Cups playing the best of any wide ever in football.

0:27:00.880 --> 0:27:03.520
<v Speaker 1>Robert Woods is such a great blocking wide receiver and

0:27:03.560 --> 0:27:06.479
<v Speaker 1>just does everything well. And obviously you saw last week

0:27:06.520 --> 0:27:10.760
<v Speaker 1>with the Sean Jackson. I think Jefferson, Jefferson, jack Jefferson

0:27:10.840 --> 0:27:13.840
<v Speaker 1>and Higbee are perfect role. And I just think Sean

0:27:13.920 --> 0:27:16.640
<v Speaker 1>McVeigh is, like, It's why so many people like him.

0:27:16.680 --> 0:27:18.760
<v Speaker 1>He's just a kid. He's like, man, I call this stuff,

0:27:18.800 --> 0:27:20.400
<v Speaker 1>Let's go play with it. I got a new toy.

0:27:20.480 --> 0:27:22.760
<v Speaker 1>Let's go play with the toys. You don't sounds like

0:27:22.840 --> 0:27:25.400
<v Speaker 1>you don't think the Cardinals are Uh No, I don't

0:27:25.480 --> 0:27:27.280
<v Speaker 1>like them in this game though. And I'll tell you

0:27:27.280 --> 0:27:30.080
<v Speaker 1>one matchup that really jumps out to me is and

0:27:30.119 --> 0:27:33.280
<v Speaker 1>I know that the Cardinals are getting a real impact

0:27:33.320 --> 0:27:36.600
<v Speaker 1>from Ron del Moore, their second round pick, and Christian

0:27:36.680 --> 0:27:39.680
<v Speaker 1>Kirk made some plays last week. But DeAndre Hopkins is

0:27:39.720 --> 0:27:42.760
<v Speaker 1>not right now. He's got that rib issue. He wasn't

0:27:42.800 --> 0:27:45.479
<v Speaker 1>a dynamic player last week. I know he had one

0:27:45.520 --> 0:27:47.960
<v Speaker 1>big play called back, but um, he's gonna be up

0:27:47.960 --> 0:27:52.879
<v Speaker 1>against Dalen Ramsey. So if Hopkins is erased by Ramsey, well,

0:27:52.880 --> 0:27:54.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I think we're gonna see a lot

0:27:54.280 --> 0:27:56.480
<v Speaker 1>of Christian Kirk Jalen Ramsey because they think so. Yeah.

0:27:56.520 --> 0:27:59.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's been playing slot more than anything through

0:27:59.560 --> 0:28:01.600
<v Speaker 1>three games, mes and Kirk has been lethal. I mean

0:28:01.600 --> 0:28:03.800
<v Speaker 1>that's kind of been the You're gonna be agree and

0:28:03.840 --> 0:28:05.840
<v Speaker 1>had a little juice last week. They are they are

0:28:06.200 --> 0:28:08.800
<v Speaker 1>dangerous offensively, I mean they are good. I just don't

0:28:08.840 --> 0:28:10.480
<v Speaker 1>think they're gonna be able to keep up. And you're

0:28:10.520 --> 0:28:12.760
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna be asking a lot a lot of Kyler

0:28:12.840 --> 0:28:14.800
<v Speaker 1>Murray here and and perhaps you can deliver it. But

0:28:14.840 --> 0:28:18.640
<v Speaker 1>I like the Rams I did too. I Again, I'm

0:28:18.680 --> 0:28:21.720
<v Speaker 1>confused by they drafted Isaiah Simmons in the top ten

0:28:22.040 --> 0:28:23.919
<v Speaker 1>and then Zaven Collins in the top fifteen, and they

0:28:23.920 --> 0:28:26.280
<v Speaker 1>can't play those two guys together. They're kind of getting

0:28:27.280 --> 0:28:30.120
<v Speaker 1>They tried to trade Jordan Hicks in the off season,

0:28:30.200 --> 0:28:32.119
<v Speaker 1>and he actually is playing more. I just think they

0:28:32.160 --> 0:28:34.080
<v Speaker 1>have some issues up front, and you have to have

0:28:34.800 --> 0:28:38.040
<v Speaker 1>your defense really on its ps and queues against the

0:28:38.120 --> 0:28:40.120
<v Speaker 1>Rams or else. I don't think you're just gonna get

0:28:40.120 --> 0:28:42.320
<v Speaker 1>in a shootout, and that's hard to money. You were

0:28:42.400 --> 0:28:50.200
<v Speaker 1>up next, al Right, I am going to take. It's tough.

0:28:50.360 --> 0:28:53.800
<v Speaker 1>It is because there's so many good games. We just

0:28:53.880 --> 0:28:57.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna take Browns and Vikings. Okay, okay, this is

0:28:57.840 --> 0:29:02.840
<v Speaker 1>a good one. But okay, Stefanski back in Minnesota. And

0:29:02.880 --> 0:29:04.720
<v Speaker 1>part of this is for me to pat myself on

0:29:04.800 --> 0:29:07.840
<v Speaker 1>the back because on our Power Ranking show, we had

0:29:07.880 --> 0:29:12.000
<v Speaker 1>to do a you watch every Tuesday, every Tuesday noon.

0:29:12.000 --> 0:29:14.840
<v Speaker 1>Specific favorite moment of the week is when we get

0:29:14.840 --> 0:29:17.600
<v Speaker 1>I get lunch with like Dan on Tuesday, and there's

0:29:17.720 --> 0:29:22.040
<v Speaker 1>Dan and the huge screen in our in our cafeteria,

0:29:22.120 --> 0:29:24.200
<v Speaker 1>and sometimes like I'll look at that guy up there.

0:29:24.240 --> 0:29:26.720
<v Speaker 1>I'll be talking to Greg and the TV be behind me,

0:29:26.720 --> 0:29:29.600
<v Speaker 1>and then and Greg's just lost, like just like a grimace,

0:29:29.680 --> 0:29:34.800
<v Speaker 1>like what like are always his broadcast husband is chooting

0:29:34.800 --> 0:29:37.200
<v Speaker 1>on him, more like you are staring and you're just

0:29:37.240 --> 0:29:40.000
<v Speaker 1>getting lost in your own eyes. I just like, Wow,

0:29:40.040 --> 0:29:42.760
<v Speaker 1>that guy, that guy man, look at that TV magic

0:29:42.880 --> 0:29:45.560
<v Speaker 1>up there, go ahead. You know when everybody was freaking

0:29:45.560 --> 0:29:48.840
<v Speaker 1>out about the Vikings, Oh, Kyle Rudolph taking a shot

0:29:48.880 --> 0:29:53.480
<v Speaker 1>at at Mike Zimmer, Hey Rudolph, shut up, shut there.

0:29:53.520 --> 0:29:55.600
<v Speaker 1>You take a shot at Zim when the Vikings were

0:29:55.640 --> 0:29:59.920
<v Speaker 1>nothing before he got he drafts a bunch of defensive backs.

0:30:00.000 --> 0:30:02.120
<v Speaker 1>I can back he was doing it before anybody else, saying, look,

0:30:02.160 --> 0:30:04.480
<v Speaker 1>this league is all about corners now, and he was

0:30:04.560 --> 0:30:06.520
<v Speaker 1>just loading up on him. You know. Good for Zim

0:30:06.560 --> 0:30:08.840
<v Speaker 1>for figuring that out. I don't like hearing that kind

0:30:08.840 --> 0:30:10.960
<v Speaker 1>of stuff from you, Rudolf. You got it where the

0:30:11.000 --> 0:30:16.320
<v Speaker 1>Giants had now though you know they're scattered throughout the league,

0:30:16.440 --> 0:30:18.760
<v Speaker 1>but you know what, you gotta take your swings and

0:30:18.840 --> 0:30:22.640
<v Speaker 1>figure out which one of them. I'm so listen. I

0:30:23.240 --> 0:30:25.000
<v Speaker 1>love I want to get to the Vikings a little bit,

0:30:25.040 --> 0:30:29.400
<v Speaker 1>but I love that the Browns have a real challenge here.

0:30:29.400 --> 0:30:32.280
<v Speaker 1>I want to figure out, like we mentioned, the power rankings.

0:30:32.320 --> 0:30:34.600
<v Speaker 1>I've I've stuck them at number eight and just left

0:30:34.640 --> 0:30:37.160
<v Speaker 1>them there where I think four or five straight weeks

0:30:37.160 --> 0:30:40.560
<v Speaker 1>now because they're kind of doing exactly what you expect. Um.

0:30:40.680 --> 0:30:43.360
<v Speaker 1>They hung really tight with the Chiefs and and Casey

0:30:43.440 --> 0:30:46.640
<v Speaker 1>got beat took care of business against Houston and Chicago.

0:30:47.000 --> 0:30:49.080
<v Speaker 1>There are moments in both those wins are like or

0:30:49.280 --> 0:30:51.640
<v Speaker 1>performances like yes, this team could be dominant in the

0:30:51.760 --> 0:30:54.080
<v Speaker 1>right spot. But also moments in both of those games

0:30:54.080 --> 0:30:56.840
<v Speaker 1>are it's like, all right, guys, let's your elite right,

0:30:56.920 --> 0:30:59.040
<v Speaker 1>let's see you play that way. So now you go

0:30:59.120 --> 0:31:02.400
<v Speaker 1>to Minnesota to face the Vikings team that could easily

0:31:02.440 --> 0:31:05.600
<v Speaker 1>be three and oh and have an offense very difficult

0:31:05.640 --> 0:31:09.200
<v Speaker 1>to stop. This Greg is a Brown's test that I've

0:31:09.200 --> 0:31:13.040
<v Speaker 1>been waiting for um since Week one. Great game. Uh,

0:31:13.080 --> 0:31:14.960
<v Speaker 1>there's sort of two teams that look in the mirror

0:31:14.960 --> 0:31:18.920
<v Speaker 1>at each other. I think right now, Kirk Cousins is

0:31:18.960 --> 0:31:21.760
<v Speaker 1>the slightly better version of Baker Mayfield. We put that

0:31:21.800 --> 0:31:23.640
<v Speaker 1>comp on him last year on this show. I think

0:31:23.680 --> 0:31:27.200
<v Speaker 1>that right now they're similar type players. Cousins is just

0:31:27.200 --> 0:31:29.760
<v Speaker 1>playing at a really high level, and to me, there's

0:31:29.800 --> 0:31:33.320
<v Speaker 1>a it may sound crazy because but I don't know

0:31:33.360 --> 0:31:36.640
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't. I mean, I think there's a pretty sizeable

0:31:36.720 --> 0:31:40.000
<v Speaker 1>gap in receiver groups. You know, for for what Kirk

0:31:40.040 --> 0:31:42.800
<v Speaker 1>has thrown to and what Baker is thrown. You'll just

0:31:42.800 --> 0:31:45.560
<v Speaker 1>see Jarvis disappear in games. I don't know if Odell

0:31:45.600 --> 0:31:49.040
<v Speaker 1>Beckham's back yet. He looks good. Jarvis is out this week.

0:31:49.040 --> 0:31:51.360
<v Speaker 1>But you're right, so get your county on Donovan, people's

0:31:51.400 --> 0:31:54.320
<v Speaker 1>exact county on Hooper. But you have that running game

0:31:54.360 --> 0:31:56.760
<v Speaker 1>and that's where like the mirror thing really matches up.

0:31:56.800 --> 0:31:59.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Madison did last week, and and I the

0:31:59.440 --> 0:32:02.320
<v Speaker 1>Seahawks were the Sehawks were just terrible last week. But

0:32:03.760 --> 0:32:06.200
<v Speaker 1>like again, it's you said, you're looking in the mirror.

0:32:06.280 --> 0:32:08.160
<v Speaker 1>The schemes the same. You know what they want to do,

0:32:08.400 --> 0:32:11.560
<v Speaker 1>minimize mistakes? Can the quarterback capitalize on all the attention

0:32:11.560 --> 0:32:13.760
<v Speaker 1>we're playing, we're paying to slowing down the world. Difference

0:32:13.800 --> 0:32:15.400
<v Speaker 1>is I kind of talked about how you know the

0:32:15.480 --> 0:32:18.560
<v Speaker 1>Rams aren't doing as much play action. The Vikings aren't

0:32:18.600 --> 0:32:22.080
<v Speaker 1>as much either, and they're definitely going three receivers instead

0:32:22.120 --> 0:32:25.280
<v Speaker 1>of two tight ends. I think losing Rudolph, you're getting

0:32:25.360 --> 0:32:27.440
<v Speaker 1>rid of him, and then IRV Smith got her as

0:32:27.480 --> 0:32:31.120
<v Speaker 1>kind of helped him outr Kyle Rudolf. That's what I'm saying, Like,

0:32:31.400 --> 0:32:34.600
<v Speaker 1>I think you put J. J Osborne out there and

0:32:34.640 --> 0:32:36.960
<v Speaker 1>they're a little more dynamic with three receivers on the

0:32:37.000 --> 0:32:39.680
<v Speaker 1>field instead of the two tight ends. But I do

0:32:39.800 --> 0:32:42.760
<v Speaker 1>love that this game. If the Vikings lose, you thought

0:32:42.840 --> 0:32:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Mike Zimmer was cranky before, you don't think that ownership

0:32:46.280 --> 0:32:50.160
<v Speaker 1>loved Kevin Stefanski. He was there for a decade. This

0:32:50.240 --> 0:32:52.520
<v Speaker 1>wasn't just like, oh, I came back a little bit.

0:32:52.840 --> 0:32:55.400
<v Speaker 1>And in two thousand and nineteen, if the Vikings had

0:32:55.400 --> 0:32:58.680
<v Speaker 1>a losing record or a bad season, they were absolutely

0:32:58.720 --> 0:33:01.280
<v Speaker 1>gonna get rid of Mike Zimmer. They were absolutely gonna

0:33:01.400 --> 0:33:04.920
<v Speaker 1>elevate Kevin Stefanski. The Wolves love him. It's an open secret.

0:33:05.240 --> 0:33:06.960
<v Speaker 1>But you know what. The Vikings made the playoffs that

0:33:07.040 --> 0:33:09.800
<v Speaker 1>year and Stefanski said, bye. Everyone likes each other, they

0:33:09.840 --> 0:33:12.160
<v Speaker 1>respect and it's got it's got levels to it. Because

0:33:12.160 --> 0:33:16.640
<v Speaker 1>I think Gary Kubiak getting there gave Stefanski basis that

0:33:16.960 --> 0:33:19.920
<v Speaker 1>he has taken with them to Cleveland. And who's Minnesota's

0:33:19.960 --> 0:33:26.600
<v Speaker 1>offensive coordinator, Clint que Kubiak, Gary's sun forever, Mike Zimmer.

0:33:27.040 --> 0:33:30.160
<v Speaker 1>Mike Zimmer is a very good coach, and I like

0:33:30.280 --> 0:33:32.160
<v Speaker 1>the guy. Like what he doesn't want to lose to

0:33:32.200 --> 0:33:34.320
<v Speaker 1>the little guy that was his buddy. Though. I know,

0:33:34.440 --> 0:33:37.200
<v Speaker 1>but I thought you were intimating that they made a mistake,

0:33:37.240 --> 0:33:39.680
<v Speaker 1>and maybe they did. I think Zimmer's very he doesn't

0:33:39.720 --> 0:33:41.600
<v Speaker 1>want to lose that guy. And I think Clint Kubiak

0:33:42.000 --> 0:33:43.960
<v Speaker 1>nepotism or not, is off to a good start. And

0:33:44.000 --> 0:33:47.520
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you what about these Vikings. Oh this is

0:33:47.600 --> 0:33:51.320
<v Speaker 1>dance thing this week, But I love the Vikings. Wow.

0:33:51.800 --> 0:34:02.360
<v Speaker 1>I love him so much that I'm gonna can't. Yeah, dude,

0:34:02.360 --> 0:34:05.840
<v Speaker 1>I can't lock up against the Browns almost claim On

0:34:06.560 --> 0:34:08.960
<v Speaker 1>told Ricky earlier this week I would, but no, another

0:34:09.000 --> 0:34:11.759
<v Speaker 1>team caught my eye and I had to go in

0:34:11.760 --> 0:34:14.160
<v Speaker 1>another direction. But I liked the part of me. One

0:34:14.160 --> 0:34:15.480
<v Speaker 1>of the reasons why I wanted to take with my

0:34:15.560 --> 0:34:17.160
<v Speaker 1>number one draft pick is part of me thinks that

0:34:17.200 --> 0:34:19.520
<v Speaker 1>this could be a total Kirk Cousins meltdown game, like

0:34:20.480 --> 0:34:22.120
<v Speaker 1>already hit some a couple of I don't think then

0:34:22.200 --> 0:34:23.960
<v Speaker 1>are that hard to figure out. I'm curious what their

0:34:24.000 --> 0:34:25.719
<v Speaker 1>defense will be like, but I just think they are

0:34:25.840 --> 0:34:29.880
<v Speaker 1>a elite offense and so I'm giving them a slight

0:34:30.000 --> 0:34:32.480
<v Speaker 1>edge because I've just seen them be elite for longer

0:34:32.480 --> 0:34:35.319
<v Speaker 1>than I've seen the Vikings being elite. Office They've been great.

0:34:35.960 --> 0:34:38.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm so glad you guys didn't take Panthers. Cowboys Are

0:34:38.920 --> 0:34:41.279
<v Speaker 1>is the one game I really wanted more than any

0:34:41.360 --> 0:34:44.520
<v Speaker 1>on this entire slate early Christian ms healthy, I would

0:34:45.239 --> 0:34:49.200
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter because if the Cowboys stomp on him, to me,

0:34:49.320 --> 0:34:53.480
<v Speaker 1>that's telling. It's a great um story of what the

0:34:53.520 --> 0:34:55.799
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys are doing. And these are just two teams that

0:34:55.840 --> 0:34:59.600
<v Speaker 1>I think are like new Ish because the Cowboys were away.

0:35:00.040 --> 0:35:03.440
<v Speaker 1>This Cowboys defense is different, and the Panthers are different,

0:35:03.520 --> 0:35:06.000
<v Speaker 1>and so I'm fascinated by the teams that are different.

0:35:06.040 --> 0:35:07.560
<v Speaker 1>The Chiefs I know who they are. I think I

0:35:07.640 --> 0:35:09.839
<v Speaker 1>kind of know who the Browns are. These are two

0:35:09.840 --> 0:35:13.880
<v Speaker 1>really interesting stories. I think that Dak right now is

0:35:14.000 --> 0:35:17.560
<v Speaker 1>so good that he's making everyone look better, even like

0:35:17.800 --> 0:35:20.560
<v Speaker 1>future Hall of famers like Tyrone Smith. Tyron Smith is

0:35:20.600 --> 0:35:23.000
<v Speaker 1>over the hill. It's like, now he's great again. Well

0:35:23.040 --> 0:35:27.200
<v Speaker 1>you know why Dak gotten back. You know, Zeke legitimately

0:35:27.239 --> 0:35:29.520
<v Speaker 1>looks better. I think I've thought that since week one.

0:35:29.760 --> 0:35:33.120
<v Speaker 1>But the receivers, everyone. Even the defense looks better with

0:35:33.239 --> 0:35:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Dak Prescott going up and down the field, and I

0:35:36.040 --> 0:35:37.840
<v Speaker 1>just think he's playing at such a high level. I

0:35:37.840 --> 0:35:40.240
<v Speaker 1>want to see him challenge, and I think this Panthers

0:35:40.280 --> 0:35:43.560
<v Speaker 1>defense is an incredible challenge. Great offense beats great defense.

0:35:43.600 --> 0:35:45.640
<v Speaker 1>So I like the Cowboys, but I'm really excited to

0:35:45.680 --> 0:35:48.719
<v Speaker 1>watch it. I'm bummed that the secondary is banged up.

0:35:48.719 --> 0:35:50.600
<v Speaker 1>I would have loved to have seen J. C. Horne healthy.

0:35:50.640 --> 0:35:52.600
<v Speaker 1>It just seems like that they got C. J. Henderson.

0:35:52.640 --> 0:35:56.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if that's a huge down. Yeah, he's gonnay.

0:35:57.120 --> 0:35:59.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I get why you make that trade for,

0:35:59.440 --> 0:36:01.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, and I just think back to the Combine

0:36:01.960 --> 0:36:04.440
<v Speaker 1>and that draft and how people liked C. J. Anderson

0:36:04.480 --> 0:36:05.840
<v Speaker 1>more than Jeff of Couda. You know, they were a

0:36:05.840 --> 0:36:09.600
<v Speaker 1>handful of those people. So he he's a supposedly he's

0:36:09.600 --> 0:36:12.200
<v Speaker 1>a super athlete, a little bit of a headache according

0:36:12.239 --> 0:36:14.040
<v Speaker 1>to some of his teammates. So I'm not putting that

0:36:14.080 --> 0:36:16.280
<v Speaker 1>out there on my own, but I would say good player,

0:36:16.440 --> 0:36:19.799
<v Speaker 1>you know, I would say that rule is Matt rule

0:36:19.920 --> 0:36:22.520
<v Speaker 1>is uh is someone who can who can I think

0:36:22.520 --> 0:36:24.520
<v Speaker 1>crack sort of that that code if that's what you

0:36:24.560 --> 0:36:26.040
<v Speaker 1>have to do. If he's got all the talent, you

0:36:26.120 --> 0:36:27.680
<v Speaker 1>just got to get the head right. I do have

0:36:27.719 --> 0:36:30.680
<v Speaker 1>faith and Matt Rule. I love the past Rushman, I

0:36:30.760 --> 0:36:33.640
<v Speaker 1>love watching Burns. I think Reddick was a perfect, you know,

0:36:33.760 --> 0:36:36.279
<v Speaker 1>free agent acquisition for him. Shack Thompson slowed down a

0:36:36.280 --> 0:36:38.720
<v Speaker 1>little bit from his his tour and start there early.

0:36:39.200 --> 0:36:42.000
<v Speaker 1>But I'm with you. I think it's just a great

0:36:43.120 --> 0:36:47.400
<v Speaker 1>defense versus offense matchup for those two units. The Panthers

0:36:47.520 --> 0:36:50.400
<v Speaker 1>keep comply, keep up in a high scoring Let me

0:36:50.440 --> 0:36:51.960
<v Speaker 1>ask you a question, greg As, I was going to

0:36:52.040 --> 0:36:54.520
<v Speaker 1>go into that direction. Where Sam Donald on the QB

0:36:54.640 --> 0:37:00.719
<v Speaker 1>and Index this week he comes in at number ulule twenties.

0:37:00.760 --> 0:37:08.160
<v Speaker 1>I guess I'm gonna guess not say oh damn it

0:37:08.200 --> 0:37:12.600
<v Speaker 1>all right um for me? And again it's naughty, it's

0:37:12.640 --> 0:37:15.319
<v Speaker 1>a little, it's too raw. A Jet fan and a

0:37:15.360 --> 0:37:17.680
<v Speaker 1>passionate one blew out his voice rooting for his New

0:37:17.719 --> 0:37:20.759
<v Speaker 1>York sports team this past week. Is it's hard to

0:37:20.840 --> 0:37:23.319
<v Speaker 1>kind of figure out Sam Donald right now. But if

0:37:23.360 --> 0:37:25.920
<v Speaker 1>he goes to Dallas and gets in a shootout with

0:37:26.040 --> 0:37:29.080
<v Speaker 1>DAC and he's able to move the ball without Christian McCaffrey.

0:37:29.200 --> 0:37:31.399
<v Speaker 1>I mean, what else do you need to see to say, oh,

0:37:31.480 --> 0:37:33.960
<v Speaker 1>he's fixed now. He is. Maybe not a great quarterback,

0:37:34.040 --> 0:37:36.560
<v Speaker 1>but fun that Matt Rule is going to have success

0:37:36.600 --> 0:37:39.200
<v Speaker 1>with and they're going to continue to be He's played well.

0:37:39.239 --> 0:37:41.200
<v Speaker 1>I think he's been highly managed, and so I don't

0:37:41.200 --> 0:37:43.440
<v Speaker 1>give him as much credit as quarterbacks that have to

0:37:43.440 --> 0:37:45.319
<v Speaker 1>do more. I think now we have to do more

0:37:45.560 --> 0:37:47.960
<v Speaker 1>because I think I'm keeping an eye on the Caroline

0:37:48.040 --> 0:37:50.120
<v Speaker 1>offensive line in this game. I think the Cowboys win.

0:37:50.600 --> 0:37:52.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, they're they're a four and a half point favorite.

0:37:52.480 --> 0:37:55.520
<v Speaker 1>I think they win comfortably in the end because their

0:37:55.560 --> 0:37:57.799
<v Speaker 1>offensive line, which I thought was a problem coming into

0:37:57.840 --> 0:37:59.799
<v Speaker 1>the year, and it wasn't the kind of schemed around

0:37:59.880 --> 0:38:02.719
<v Speaker 1>him the first two games. Houston got after them and

0:38:03.040 --> 0:38:05.000
<v Speaker 1>hit Darneld a lot, and so I'm keeping an eye

0:38:05.040 --> 0:38:06.719
<v Speaker 1>on that because I think if you gotta if you

0:38:06.719 --> 0:38:09.440
<v Speaker 1>have bad pass protection, it's gonna be hard to keep up.

0:38:09.440 --> 0:38:11.520
<v Speaker 1>I would say, whatever you do, Sam, and I know

0:38:11.560 --> 0:38:15.840
<v Speaker 1>you're listening to the Around the NFL podcast, Stay away

0:38:16.160 --> 0:38:19.960
<v Speaker 1>from Trevon Diggs. Just yeah, that caught the field in half.

0:38:20.120 --> 0:38:22.520
<v Speaker 1>He's so good. Stay away from it. How many more

0:38:22.560 --> 0:38:25.960
<v Speaker 1>people in the country. Now know who's Trevon Diggs is

0:38:26.360 --> 0:38:28.680
<v Speaker 1>then like two months ago and between hard knocks and

0:38:28.680 --> 0:38:33.279
<v Speaker 1>the big games that he's every week coacious little boy,

0:38:33.360 --> 0:38:36.360
<v Speaker 1>his son um just like kind of in broad strokes.

0:38:36.440 --> 0:38:39.000
<v Speaker 1>The Cowboys playing with a ton of confidence right now,

0:38:39.040 --> 0:38:42.719
<v Speaker 1>looking really good at home, the Panthers three and oh

0:38:42.920 --> 0:38:45.000
<v Speaker 1>could lose and still be okay. It all kind of

0:38:45.239 --> 0:38:48.279
<v Speaker 1>is to me looking like, I don't think I'm gonna

0:38:48.360 --> 0:38:51.440
<v Speaker 1>I disagree with you, Greg, I just don't said. I

0:38:51.600 --> 0:38:53.359
<v Speaker 1>just like I like it more than four and a half.

0:38:53.440 --> 0:38:56.080
<v Speaker 1>Put it that way. Caroline is number one almost across

0:38:56.120 --> 0:38:58.479
<v Speaker 1>the board in many defensive metrics. But again, you gotta

0:38:58.480 --> 0:39:00.439
<v Speaker 1>look at who they played, and I'm still not sold

0:39:00.440 --> 0:39:02.920
<v Speaker 1>on the Dallas defense. You know, I I think they

0:39:02.920 --> 0:39:06.000
<v Speaker 1>took advantage of of Storm Norton in that Charger game.

0:39:06.080 --> 0:39:07.880
<v Speaker 1>And I think they took advantage of a beat to

0:39:08.080 --> 0:39:10.920
<v Speaker 1>hell Eagles offensive line in that game as well. But

0:39:10.920 --> 0:39:13.920
<v Speaker 1>the Sam Donald of that CMC going to be and

0:39:14.040 --> 0:39:16.800
<v Speaker 1>by thely, get Robby Anderson involved. Let's take a break,

0:39:17.080 --> 0:39:22.960
<v Speaker 1>all right, let's go, Greg snaked. Oh great, I can

0:39:23.000 --> 0:39:25.600
<v Speaker 1>take my number one. Late game, I had a feeling

0:39:25.640 --> 0:39:27.880
<v Speaker 1>you guys wouldn't Ravens Bronco that was gonna be my

0:39:27.920 --> 0:39:30.719
<v Speaker 1>pick yet, jerk, I mean, you're not even it's the

0:39:30.719 --> 0:39:32.759
<v Speaker 1>a f C West. I gotta pay attention to the

0:39:32.760 --> 0:39:34.800
<v Speaker 1>a f C West. It's a great game. It is

0:39:34.840 --> 0:39:37.200
<v Speaker 1>because we wanted to. Now you're not allowed to watch it.

0:39:37.239 --> 0:39:41.200
<v Speaker 1>Money that is, you're allowed to watch this terrible that's fine,

0:39:42.080 --> 0:39:45.120
<v Speaker 1>what a terrible development. Lamar Jackson's miss don't I agree

0:39:45.160 --> 0:39:47.480
<v Speaker 1>to come over there? So I took the Browns by

0:39:47.480 --> 0:39:49.640
<v Speaker 1>the way, because they're the Charger's opponent next week, so

0:39:50.040 --> 0:39:53.960
<v Speaker 1>it works out perfectly. I am curious to see Lamar

0:39:54.040 --> 0:39:56.440
<v Speaker 1>Jackson after he MRS practice twice this week with a

0:39:56.480 --> 0:39:58.840
<v Speaker 1>back injury. They're saying it's not serious, so I'm assuming

0:39:58.880 --> 0:40:01.240
<v Speaker 1>he's playing, but that's a little bit of a concern.

0:40:01.239 --> 0:40:03.240
<v Speaker 1>He also missed some practice last week with an illness,

0:40:03.480 --> 0:40:06.759
<v Speaker 1>which you now wonder was it actually a back injury.

0:40:07.200 --> 0:40:09.560
<v Speaker 1>Who knows with NFL teams the back injury from the

0:40:09.680 --> 0:40:14.239
<v Speaker 1>flip s football don't do flips into the ends. They said, yeah,

0:40:14.280 --> 0:40:16.600
<v Speaker 1>they said that bother hip at the time. Now it's back.

0:40:16.719 --> 0:40:21.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Can the Ravens defense like come and

0:40:21.239 --> 0:40:24.440
<v Speaker 1>go get after Denver, who's missing too starting guards in

0:40:24.480 --> 0:40:27.600
<v Speaker 1>practice this week, who hasn't had a great offensive line.

0:40:27.640 --> 0:40:30.440
<v Speaker 1>Teddy got a lot of hits um and they kind

0:40:30.440 --> 0:40:33.040
<v Speaker 1>of be the group that blitz and they should feel

0:40:33.040 --> 0:40:36.440
<v Speaker 1>better about it now because there's no kJ hammler Uh

0:40:36.480 --> 0:40:38.040
<v Speaker 1>in this game or for the rest of the season.

0:40:38.800 --> 0:40:40.439
<v Speaker 1>Gonna be a while. And those are the guys who

0:40:40.480 --> 0:40:44.080
<v Speaker 1>like one quickly. But the Ravens secondary like they're not

0:40:44.120 --> 0:40:46.080
<v Speaker 1>as talented as they were either. And you gotta match

0:40:46.160 --> 0:40:49.839
<v Speaker 1>up with the Obui com and fan the tight ends,

0:40:49.880 --> 0:40:51.840
<v Speaker 1>and you still got Sutton and Patrick out there. I

0:40:51.880 --> 0:40:53.799
<v Speaker 1>just think it's a great matchup to see where these

0:40:53.800 --> 0:40:55.640
<v Speaker 1>two teams are at. I think it's about as even

0:40:55.680 --> 0:40:57.520
<v Speaker 1>as it possibly gets. I had a hard time picking

0:40:57.560 --> 0:41:00.200
<v Speaker 1>this one. Yeah, I love that that Courtland Sutton ended

0:41:00.280 --> 0:41:02.680
<v Speaker 1>everybody how good he is. You know, so much attention

0:41:02.680 --> 0:41:05.440
<v Speaker 1>on Jerry Judy an understandable. You know this guy like

0:41:05.520 --> 0:41:08.759
<v Speaker 1>the West Side play. I'm just like West New West

0:41:08.760 --> 0:41:10.680
<v Speaker 1>New right away. The old lines in issue. It's going

0:41:10.719 --> 0:41:13.320
<v Speaker 1>to be an issue this week. I know the Baltimore

0:41:13.320 --> 0:41:15.000
<v Speaker 1>Blitz stats are a little down, but that's because of

0:41:15.000 --> 0:41:17.000
<v Speaker 1>the way they were playing The Chiefs they are still

0:41:17.040 --> 0:41:19.279
<v Speaker 1>going to blitz the living hell out of you, and

0:41:19.400 --> 0:41:22.000
<v Speaker 1>I cannot wait to see how Teddy manages that after

0:41:22.040 --> 0:41:25.160
<v Speaker 1>the three defenses that he faced leading up to this point.

0:41:25.200 --> 0:41:28.280
<v Speaker 1>To me, this is a reminder. And I'm sorry, Greg,

0:41:28.320 --> 0:41:30.160
<v Speaker 1>because I know how much you love Teddy b Old,

0:41:30.200 --> 0:41:32.799
<v Speaker 1>Teddy too Gloves, But to me, this is gonna be

0:41:32.800 --> 0:41:37.200
<v Speaker 1>a reminder of why this guy is on his fourth team. Well,

0:41:37.239 --> 0:41:39.680
<v Speaker 1>the situation is not nearly as good as it looked

0:41:39.880 --> 0:41:42.319
<v Speaker 1>three weeks ago because of the missing personnel. That's what

0:41:42.360 --> 0:41:45.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean. There's that seven starters between offense and defense,

0:41:45.320 --> 0:41:47.360
<v Speaker 1>including four on offense, and to me, this is this

0:41:47.480 --> 0:41:49.719
<v Speaker 1>is the perfect offense to go against that defense. Right.

0:41:49.840 --> 0:41:52.480
<v Speaker 1>The strength is in the secondary. You can you can

0:41:52.520 --> 0:41:54.560
<v Speaker 1>scheme against Bond Miller just run right at them. That's

0:41:54.560 --> 0:41:55.799
<v Speaker 1>all they want to do is run the hell out

0:41:55.800 --> 0:41:59.680
<v Speaker 1>of the ball. Mhm. Him not being healthy here is

0:42:00.040 --> 0:42:02.440
<v Speaker 1>the biggest thing jumping out to me. If Lamar is

0:42:02.480 --> 0:42:06.400
<v Speaker 1>not Lamar, they're obviously very vulnerable here. And Denver he

0:42:06.480 --> 0:42:08.880
<v Speaker 1>finished that game though, and look, yeah that's true for

0:42:08.920 --> 0:42:11.040
<v Speaker 1>the most part. In that game, I think, and you know,

0:42:11.239 --> 0:42:13.239
<v Speaker 1>Drops will probably take a shot or something and he'll

0:42:13.239 --> 0:42:16.400
<v Speaker 1>be okay. But uh yeah, Denver after that historically soft

0:42:16.400 --> 0:42:19.399
<v Speaker 1>scheduled get a home game here too. So I think

0:42:19.440 --> 0:42:21.719
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be a close game. And Vic Fausio, it's

0:42:21.800 --> 0:42:24.120
<v Speaker 1>so it's so good too, he's gonna scheme it up.

0:42:25.120 --> 0:42:26.480
<v Speaker 1>I think the bronc Wis have a shot here. Do

0:42:26.480 --> 0:42:28.319
<v Speaker 1>you think they get a shot? I think they took

0:42:28.360 --> 0:42:30.080
<v Speaker 1>him to win. I think they got more than a shot.

0:42:30.120 --> 0:42:33.759
<v Speaker 1>What no, you was shot to lose. Because when the

0:42:33.840 --> 0:42:36.880
<v Speaker 1>Ravens come to top wait a second, when the Ravens

0:42:36.960 --> 0:42:41.400
<v Speaker 1>roll into the mile I City Black, when Lamar Jackson

0:42:41.520 --> 0:42:44.000
<v Speaker 1>and Tyson Williams, Hey, you want to take the top

0:42:44.040 --> 0:42:46.200
<v Speaker 1>three runners away from us going into a season where

0:42:46.239 --> 0:42:48.399
<v Speaker 1>we want to run and we want to run him,

0:42:48.480 --> 0:42:49.879
<v Speaker 1>and we want to put a seal here. We want

0:42:49.880 --> 0:42:52.480
<v Speaker 1>to put a seal here. Von Miller, We're coming at you.

0:42:52.640 --> 0:42:54.960
<v Speaker 1>We're coming at you with some zone read. What are

0:42:55.000 --> 0:42:57.440
<v Speaker 1>you gonna do? You guess right, You're gonna guess wrong.

0:42:58.239 --> 0:43:04.680
<v Speaker 1>Ravens get one. Oh and this guy right here sitting

0:43:04.680 --> 0:43:12.480
<v Speaker 1>in Cessler's chair, it's gonna lock it all. Well, this

0:43:12.560 --> 0:43:14.480
<v Speaker 1>is big for you because you might go like one

0:43:14.560 --> 0:43:16.000
<v Speaker 1>to know or oh and one on the seat. You're

0:43:15.960 --> 0:43:18.799
<v Speaker 1>either gonna win the compet this center being last. Well,

0:43:18.800 --> 0:43:20.640
<v Speaker 1>you said you didn't want to say that. I said,

0:43:20.640 --> 0:43:22.080
<v Speaker 1>I want you to invite that. I want to be

0:43:22.120 --> 0:43:26.360
<v Speaker 1>the decider. Yeah that was Jack Palants, Jack Palance, Jack Palance,

0:43:26.400 --> 0:43:28.040
<v Speaker 1>A little Palants in you there. You gotta do some

0:43:28.080 --> 0:43:32.359
<v Speaker 1>push ups now, number one guy. I I do wonder

0:43:32.400 --> 0:43:35.440
<v Speaker 1>if the BRONC so you you mentioned Brandon Staley just

0:43:35.520 --> 0:43:38.520
<v Speaker 1>quickly on this. You know it's inviting all the teams

0:43:38.560 --> 0:43:40.480
<v Speaker 1>to right. I mean he learned it from the godfather,

0:43:40.600 --> 0:43:42.879
<v Speaker 1>Vic Fonsio. Again, they want you to run the ball.

0:43:42.920 --> 0:43:45.120
<v Speaker 1>They're begging you to run the ball. Normally, the Ravens

0:43:45.120 --> 0:43:46.799
<v Speaker 1>would be the one team that would be like, sure,

0:43:47.080 --> 0:43:49.640
<v Speaker 1>well we'll oblige. Are they that team right now? I

0:43:49.640 --> 0:43:51.239
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I think they are. I don't know if

0:43:51.239 --> 0:43:53.000
<v Speaker 1>they are that team right now. They weren't last week

0:43:53.000 --> 0:43:55.200
<v Speaker 1>against Denver, who's a good run I mean Detroit against

0:43:55.280 --> 0:43:57.200
<v Speaker 1>who's a good run defense, and they threw it, and

0:43:57.200 --> 0:43:59.840
<v Speaker 1>they threw it effectively. Lamar is leading the league and

0:44:00.400 --> 0:44:03.200
<v Speaker 1>yards per completion and large per yards per carry, which

0:44:03.200 --> 0:44:05.080
<v Speaker 1>is just the crazy stat that like anyone can do

0:44:05.120 --> 0:44:07.480
<v Speaker 1>that to me. This is a that defense is really good.

0:44:07.560 --> 0:44:09.600
<v Speaker 1>Let's play it safe. Let's do what we do best

0:44:09.840 --> 0:44:14.319
<v Speaker 1>and force them to beat us. All right, that was fun. Really,

0:44:14.760 --> 0:44:21.399
<v Speaker 1>I could trust Jack, my number one guy money. Oh,

0:44:21.440 --> 0:44:26.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm up, you're up. I will take Seahawks forty good

0:44:26.760 --> 0:44:31.200
<v Speaker 1>value here. Yeah for people that um, because you know,

0:44:31.239 --> 0:44:32.799
<v Speaker 1>and I feel like we're doing a lot of West here,

0:44:32.800 --> 0:44:38.200
<v Speaker 1>so our apologies to the people about um. The the

0:44:38.320 --> 0:44:40.960
<v Speaker 1>NFC West is weird if you look at the history

0:44:41.000 --> 0:44:45.120
<v Speaker 1>of it. Kyle Shanahan always beats Sean McVeigh. Sean McVeigh

0:44:45.120 --> 0:44:48.880
<v Speaker 1>always beats Pete Carroll, and Pete Carroll always beats Kyle Shanahan.

0:44:48.960 --> 0:44:51.040
<v Speaker 1>It's crazy when you look at the records. I think

0:44:51.080 --> 0:44:54.000
<v Speaker 1>the Seahawks are five and one the last three years

0:44:54.160 --> 0:44:57.280
<v Speaker 1>against the forty Ninersts are like five and one against

0:44:57.280 --> 0:44:58.880
<v Speaker 1>the Rams, and the Rams are like five and one

0:44:58.920 --> 0:45:03.600
<v Speaker 1>against the Seahawks. It's the although he mostly loses, has

0:45:03.640 --> 0:45:08.239
<v Speaker 1>beaten the forty regular I think is it's strangest thing.

0:45:08.640 --> 0:45:12.600
<v Speaker 1>And um, the idea that Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson

0:45:12.840 --> 0:45:16.520
<v Speaker 1>and the reigning NFC West champions could start out one

0:45:16.560 --> 0:45:19.879
<v Speaker 1>in three, it just seems crazy to me, and that's

0:45:19.880 --> 0:45:22.120
<v Speaker 1>not the way to analyze a football game. Like you

0:45:22.120 --> 0:45:25.839
<v Speaker 1>know what, Russell Wilson will do something special and it'll

0:45:25.880 --> 0:45:28.279
<v Speaker 1>be a get right game because Jimmy Garoppolo is not

0:45:28.320 --> 0:45:30.120
<v Speaker 1>as good as people are saying they are. And Kyle

0:45:30.160 --> 0:45:33.319
<v Speaker 1>Shanahan's acting like a weirdo with not playing Trey Lance

0:45:33.360 --> 0:45:34.920
<v Speaker 1>as much as he should because he doesn't have a

0:45:35.000 --> 0:45:38.560
<v Speaker 1>running game working right now to me, like, I'm anxious

0:45:38.560 --> 0:45:40.960
<v Speaker 1>to see how these two guys play each other considering

0:45:40.960 --> 0:45:42.960
<v Speaker 1>the issues that they have right now with what they

0:45:43.000 --> 0:45:45.480
<v Speaker 1>want to do and what's not happening out there through

0:45:45.520 --> 0:45:47.759
<v Speaker 1>three weeks. They're both a little thin in terms of

0:45:47.760 --> 0:45:50.040
<v Speaker 1>their offense, which is surprising, Like you think of Kyle

0:45:50.080 --> 0:45:54.240
<v Speaker 1>Shannon and you think of that Falcons offense and another

0:45:54.400 --> 0:45:57.840
<v Speaker 1>another guy ahead of the times really including five guys

0:45:58.719 --> 0:46:00.759
<v Speaker 1>catching the ball at all time times, so you have

0:46:00.800 --> 0:46:04.680
<v Speaker 1>to defend them all. Seahawks have two guys, forty Niners

0:46:04.760 --> 0:46:07.799
<v Speaker 1>have two guys. They're not getting more help, Like the

0:46:07.840 --> 0:46:10.239
<v Speaker 1>San Francisco running game isn't the same as it was,

0:46:10.320 --> 0:46:12.200
<v Speaker 1>and I don't know who they are. You know, they're

0:46:12.200 --> 0:46:14.880
<v Speaker 1>best runner, as you mentioned kind of on the sideline.

0:46:15.000 --> 0:46:17.640
<v Speaker 1>The Seahawks said that they wanted to play up tempo

0:46:17.680 --> 0:46:21.080
<v Speaker 1>and it just went away after the first week. But

0:46:21.120 --> 0:46:23.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm with you kind of just like in Rest Sweet Trust,

0:46:23.760 --> 0:46:27.120
<v Speaker 1>in this game when it comes down to it, Seahawks

0:46:27.120 --> 0:46:30.319
<v Speaker 1>are so strange right now there. The way they're set up,

0:46:30.719 --> 0:46:34.239
<v Speaker 1>the defense was beyond hard. And I know Minnesota has

0:46:34.280 --> 0:46:38.080
<v Speaker 1>a good offense, but to not even be competitive last

0:46:38.120 --> 0:46:41.600
<v Speaker 1>week is very trump troubling. Six straight quarters. Really, I mean,

0:46:41.840 --> 0:46:44.680
<v Speaker 1>they across the board, they couldn't do anything right. They

0:46:44.680 --> 0:46:46.640
<v Speaker 1>couldn't get off the field, and third, third down, they

0:46:46.680 --> 0:46:50.720
<v Speaker 1>couldn't rush the quarterback, they couldn't stop the run. And

0:46:51.239 --> 0:46:53.439
<v Speaker 1>I would say it's a really bad situation now because

0:46:53.400 --> 0:46:55.600
<v Speaker 1>you've got the forty Niners and Kyle Shannon's gonna exploit

0:46:55.600 --> 0:46:56.839
<v Speaker 1>all that. But I just don't know what to make

0:46:56.920 --> 0:46:59.319
<v Speaker 1>sense of the forty niners on offense and the and

0:46:59.360 --> 0:47:02.040
<v Speaker 1>the other thing is we're saying, we're saying, now, what

0:47:02.200 --> 0:47:04.080
<v Speaker 1>is going on with Kyle jann and just play Tray

0:47:04.160 --> 0:47:06.839
<v Speaker 1>Lance Jimmy Garoppol. He's annoying to watch, and he is

0:47:07.320 --> 0:47:10.360
<v Speaker 1>He's super annoying to watch with all the indecision and

0:47:10.400 --> 0:47:12.120
<v Speaker 1>the padding of the ball, and you just want to

0:47:12.200 --> 0:47:15.120
<v Speaker 1>squeeze him just like throw the ball, make a read,

0:47:16.080 --> 0:47:19.720
<v Speaker 1>get rid of keep going, get rid of the ball. Jimmy,

0:47:19.840 --> 0:47:24.000
<v Speaker 1>I've said my piece, but keep rolling. But maybe if

0:47:24.040 --> 0:47:27.359
<v Speaker 1>we all agree that Kyle Shanahan's a genius, maybe there

0:47:27.440 --> 0:47:29.399
<v Speaker 1>is a reason we haven't seen Trey Lance yet. One

0:47:29.440 --> 0:47:31.400
<v Speaker 1>of the things we talked about in Money you did it.

0:47:31.440 --> 0:47:33.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm short a ton and the lead up to the

0:47:33.200 --> 0:47:35.760
<v Speaker 1>draft was how little reps he actually had in college.

0:47:36.280 --> 0:47:38.480
<v Speaker 1>Maybe they're in a tough spot because Jimmy g is

0:47:38.480 --> 0:47:40.759
<v Speaker 1>not the answer, but Trey Lance isn't ready to be

0:47:40.840 --> 0:47:42.839
<v Speaker 1>the answer. I think that's fair. And you look at

0:47:42.880 --> 0:47:46.120
<v Speaker 1>Justin Fields is first starting that kind of supports that

0:47:46.200 --> 0:47:49.640
<v Speaker 1>the notion that maybe see But I think Trey Lance

0:47:49.760 --> 0:47:51.680
<v Speaker 1>is way ahead of Justin. But just use him in

0:47:51.680 --> 0:47:54.479
<v Speaker 1>the running game? Is all ones running around? Your team

0:47:54.560 --> 0:47:58.640
<v Speaker 1>used to pack them in? Yeah, mix him in. It's like, okay,

0:47:58.760 --> 0:48:01.920
<v Speaker 1>we uh, we strike out eight straight players near the

0:48:01.920 --> 0:48:04.040
<v Speaker 1>goal line, then we bring in lands and we score score.

0:48:04.080 --> 0:48:05.480
<v Speaker 1>It's like, why don't just bring in Lands on the

0:48:05.520 --> 0:48:08.360
<v Speaker 1>first place? Skip the first thing? Well, I mean Jimmy's

0:48:08.760 --> 0:48:10.840
<v Speaker 1>h defense. There was an end zone drop. That was

0:48:10.840 --> 0:48:15.160
<v Speaker 1>pretty bad there. I agree with you overall um and

0:48:15.680 --> 0:48:17.600
<v Speaker 1>Seattle's defense, I don't just don't know. How does it

0:48:17.640 --> 0:48:21.360
<v Speaker 1>get better? I do? I want to say, is going

0:48:21.400 --> 0:48:27.399
<v Speaker 1>to go one and three lines? Pretty bad? Pretty bad?

0:48:27.840 --> 0:48:29.760
<v Speaker 1>And that there's that weird stat I think I mentioned

0:48:29.800 --> 0:48:32.040
<v Speaker 1>on the pod or maybe the power ranks. You never

0:48:32.080 --> 0:48:36.759
<v Speaker 1>know that they are first in UM expected points per

0:48:36.840 --> 0:48:39.120
<v Speaker 1>drive in the first half of the season and thirty

0:48:39.200 --> 0:48:41.759
<v Speaker 1>second in the second half. What is that about? Is

0:48:41.800 --> 0:48:44.680
<v Speaker 1>that Shane Waldron's fault? Is that Russell Wilson's fault? Is

0:48:44.719 --> 0:48:46.440
<v Speaker 1>that a game script thing? I don't know. Is it

0:48:46.480 --> 0:48:48.960
<v Speaker 1>just an anomaly because it's a guy who never called

0:48:49.000 --> 0:48:51.360
<v Speaker 1>place before. You can script it out and that's fine,

0:48:51.520 --> 0:48:53.000
<v Speaker 1>and then when you got to make your adjustments in

0:48:53.040 --> 0:48:56.600
<v Speaker 1>free lance. This is a big game fan bases. Even

0:48:56.640 --> 0:48:58.640
<v Speaker 1>though the Forts would be two and two if they lost,

0:48:58.640 --> 0:49:01.080
<v Speaker 1>if they lost two straight home game, they would also

0:49:01.160 --> 0:49:04.239
<v Speaker 1>be their sixth straight loss. In Levi's I mean that

0:49:04.320 --> 0:49:07.000
<v Speaker 1>place just does not seem like a home field advantage.

0:49:07.120 --> 0:49:09.800
<v Speaker 1>Whichever team loses this game like their fans are gonna

0:49:09.840 --> 0:49:12.640
<v Speaker 1>be panicky. They put down the wine and cheese and

0:49:12.680 --> 0:49:14.759
<v Speaker 1>pick up the pump bombs. Let's go with my right

0:49:16.560 --> 0:49:23.000
<v Speaker 1>Fort haven't underrated brutal fan base like violent, great great fans,

0:49:23.120 --> 0:49:25.520
<v Speaker 1>but there's something about that stadium. They don't win about it.

0:49:25.520 --> 0:49:29.040
<v Speaker 1>They don't win there. Let's the Raiders took all the heat,

0:49:29.600 --> 0:49:32.920
<v Speaker 1>but I would put ms of like parking lot violence

0:49:33.000 --> 0:49:35.279
<v Speaker 1>up with anyone in the league having called a ton

0:49:35.320 --> 0:49:39.440
<v Speaker 1>of their games. Maybe it's different or now no, well

0:49:39.520 --> 0:49:42.320
<v Speaker 1>let me say this money still an aggressive fan base.

0:49:42.560 --> 0:49:48.120
<v Speaker 1>Mr Chargers. Back in two thousand eight, week four right

0:49:48.200 --> 0:49:50.080
<v Speaker 1>far Its signed with the Jets or was traded to

0:49:50.080 --> 0:49:53.120
<v Speaker 1>the Jets. So me and my buddy Circling took the

0:49:53.200 --> 0:49:56.840
<v Speaker 1>ride down from l A to San Diego and uh

0:49:56.880 --> 0:49:58.640
<v Speaker 1>we sat in the upper deck at the old Wall

0:49:58.680 --> 0:50:02.760
<v Speaker 1>com what it dump? That was, Oh yeah, falling apart um,

0:50:02.800 --> 0:50:05.040
<v Speaker 1>but we're excited. We went up to our seats and

0:50:05.520 --> 0:50:09.960
<v Speaker 1>it was constant harassment and just jerks. Everyone's right. Yeah.

0:50:09.960 --> 0:50:12.000
<v Speaker 1>There was one guy that just stood in the aisle

0:50:12.080 --> 0:50:13.880
<v Speaker 1>when we were trying to go up the steps, and

0:50:13.920 --> 0:50:16.640
<v Speaker 1>he's probably about four hundred pounds. It looked like he'd

0:50:16.640 --> 0:50:20.440
<v Speaker 1>been in prison maybe six times for various offenses, and

0:50:20.480 --> 0:50:22.440
<v Speaker 1>it just made me think I didn't know. Chargers fans

0:50:22.440 --> 0:50:25.480
<v Speaker 1>were like that is this a California fan? I don't

0:50:25.560 --> 0:50:28.480
<v Speaker 1>know why. But here's my My push back to that

0:50:28.640 --> 0:50:32.200
<v Speaker 1>islet we just wear a polo to the game. Oh,

0:50:32.239 --> 0:50:35.759
<v Speaker 1>here we go again. Sports. You're a jaded sports guy.

0:50:36.080 --> 0:50:38.040
<v Speaker 1>I know, like I think if it's one thing I've

0:50:38.040 --> 0:50:42.120
<v Speaker 1>never understood why you got. I actually to think with

0:50:42.360 --> 0:50:45.720
<v Speaker 1>NFL games, if you're on the road, it's a thought

0:50:45.840 --> 0:50:49.040
<v Speaker 1>that you are going. It's gonna happen in a lot

0:50:49.040 --> 0:50:52.759
<v Speaker 1>of stadiums, So it's a it's a thought like you

0:50:52.800 --> 0:50:56.239
<v Speaker 1>guys sound so ridiculous. Both of you have you guys

0:50:56.239 --> 0:50:58.120
<v Speaker 1>haven't been to a lot of NFL games, Then that's

0:50:58.160 --> 0:51:01.359
<v Speaker 1>what happened. What do you mean NFL games? Of course

0:51:01.400 --> 0:51:06.880
<v Speaker 1>I've been. I was in Broncos like Mile High. We lost.

0:51:08.000 --> 0:51:10.320
<v Speaker 1>Here's all I'm saying. I's like, you gotta get harrassed.

0:51:10.400 --> 0:51:12.719
<v Speaker 1>That's what happened. It's not baseball, it's not basketball. You're

0:51:12.719 --> 0:51:16.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna get harassed. Dudes. Home home field fans put on

0:51:17.000 --> 0:51:19.720
<v Speaker 1>a jersey and they think they're supposed to play football

0:51:21.080 --> 0:51:23.279
<v Speaker 1>leveled of rush and that makes no sense. It's like, dude,

0:51:23.280 --> 0:51:24.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm just here to watch a game with you though,

0:51:25.360 --> 0:51:27.600
<v Speaker 1>it just be be proud, It's just it's fun. Call

0:51:27.680 --> 0:51:31.640
<v Speaker 1>me jaded, I say, I say where the polo enjoy

0:51:31.760 --> 0:51:34.640
<v Speaker 1>the game. And not even a T shirt you gotta

0:51:34.640 --> 0:51:38.480
<v Speaker 1>put on polo whatever where shirt? Just saying like like

0:51:38.520 --> 0:51:41.759
<v Speaker 1>I brought in your jersey with your name on the back.

0:51:41.920 --> 0:51:43.680
<v Speaker 1>It's like, well do you have to wear a jersey? Right?

0:51:43.800 --> 0:51:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Let's go? Uh, you really got to pick it up?

0:51:46.080 --> 0:51:49.440
<v Speaker 1>Yes here comes I'm the worst my pick and I

0:51:49.480 --> 0:51:51.560
<v Speaker 1>will I got a late game, so you got this

0:51:51.600 --> 0:51:54.040
<v Speaker 1>is strategy money. Keep this in mind. Okay, you don't

0:51:54.080 --> 0:51:56.960
<v Speaker 1>want to load up um on one side or the other.

0:51:56.960 --> 0:51:58.959
<v Speaker 1>So I'm gonna get an early game. Chiefs at Eagles,

0:51:59.040 --> 0:52:02.160
<v Speaker 1>Let's see what's going up? Two teams where the Chiefs

0:52:02.200 --> 0:52:05.120
<v Speaker 1>had money was just like off his rocker and the

0:52:05.200 --> 0:52:07.640
<v Speaker 1>a block of power rankings. Thinking that the Chiefs are

0:52:07.640 --> 0:52:10.399
<v Speaker 1>gonna win like four games this year, Chiefs. That's not sure.

0:52:10.440 --> 0:52:13.160
<v Speaker 1>I think the Chiefs are gonna be fine. They are

0:52:13.200 --> 0:52:17.440
<v Speaker 1>not well. They are not executing uh in ways that

0:52:17.480 --> 0:52:20.279
<v Speaker 1>you expect them to um. And if you're Chiefs fan,

0:52:20.320 --> 0:52:22.680
<v Speaker 1>you're a little bit nervous now because you're thinking, wait

0:52:22.719 --> 0:52:26.120
<v Speaker 1>a second, we always win these games when it's late

0:52:26.160 --> 0:52:28.759
<v Speaker 1>and close, and then it happens twice in a row.

0:52:29.560 --> 0:52:31.360
<v Speaker 1>And then you look around and you're watching the highlights

0:52:31.400 --> 0:52:32.840
<v Speaker 1>around the league and you look at the standings, like,

0:52:32.960 --> 0:52:36.279
<v Speaker 1>wait a second, my division is now loaded. Maybe and

0:52:36.400 --> 0:52:38.800
<v Speaker 1>we may be lost a little of our magic. Pixie

0:52:38.880 --> 0:52:42.520
<v Speaker 1>Dust and Andy Reid went to the hospital on Sunday.

0:52:42.800 --> 0:52:44.960
<v Speaker 1>Look on, is our season a little bit off? Through

0:52:45.160 --> 0:52:47.960
<v Speaker 1>our first round pick running back that we all summer?

0:52:48.280 --> 0:52:53.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh Clyde Edwards Hilaire. He is unbelievably hot this summer.

0:52:53.560 --> 0:52:55.719
<v Speaker 1>He's working in the passing game. He's gonna be the

0:52:55.760 --> 0:52:57.680
<v Speaker 1>guy they thought last year. Well now he's fumbled two

0:52:57.680 --> 0:53:00.560
<v Speaker 1>weeks ago in a row. All issues. Uh. And then

0:53:00.600 --> 0:53:01.799
<v Speaker 1>on the other side of the ball, you got the

0:53:01.800 --> 0:53:05.239
<v Speaker 1>Eagles who just no showed on Monday Night football and

0:53:05.280 --> 0:53:08.920
<v Speaker 1>made everybody that believes in the Eagles look bad. Um,

0:53:08.960 --> 0:53:12.720
<v Speaker 1>including Greg So while I and Ricky, Ricky has followed

0:53:12.719 --> 0:53:15.319
<v Speaker 1>me down the Eagles, Yeah, I have to is a

0:53:15.320 --> 0:53:18.200
<v Speaker 1>bad take to so join me with the Chiefs. Have

0:53:18.400 --> 0:53:21.000
<v Speaker 1>to get some things straightened out. Money. I believe in

0:53:21.040 --> 0:53:24.040
<v Speaker 1>them to do that. Um, But the fact that they've

0:53:24.040 --> 0:53:26.040
<v Speaker 1>struggled the way they have. You don't just assume it

0:53:26.080 --> 0:53:27.880
<v Speaker 1>happens on the road in Philly. They you know, I

0:53:28.040 --> 0:53:30.560
<v Speaker 1>just they just need Frank clarkback, you know, they need

0:53:30.600 --> 0:53:33.320
<v Speaker 1>they need more pass rush. Like they've got nothing going

0:53:33.520 --> 0:53:36.879
<v Speaker 1>justin Herbert had all day to pick them apart. Their

0:53:36.920 --> 0:53:40.000
<v Speaker 1>secondary's always been a big question mark. Tyran Matthews great,

0:53:40.040 --> 0:53:42.400
<v Speaker 1>but there's not much else back there, and he just

0:53:42.480 --> 0:53:44.799
<v Speaker 1>carved them up. Yeah, I think you can panic about

0:53:44.840 --> 0:53:47.680
<v Speaker 1>the defense. I have zero concerned the offense. Oh no,

0:53:48.000 --> 0:53:51.560
<v Speaker 1>Like you lost a last play game where you lost

0:53:51.560 --> 0:53:53.719
<v Speaker 1>the turnover margin four to nothing. I mean, you can't

0:53:53.800 --> 0:53:56.360
<v Speaker 1>keep losing the turnover margin like that. But there's a

0:53:56.360 --> 0:53:58.280
<v Speaker 1>little bit of flukey. If I'm the Chargers, you almost

0:53:58.320 --> 0:53:59.839
<v Speaker 1>want to win by more than that. If you win

0:54:00.000 --> 0:54:01.640
<v Speaker 1>where the one thing I'll say though, that I think

0:54:01.719 --> 0:54:02.960
<v Speaker 1>does come out of that. I don't know if you

0:54:03.080 --> 0:54:06.760
<v Speaker 1>noticed after he fumbled, Clyde Edwards a layer was running

0:54:06.800 --> 0:54:08.880
<v Speaker 1>like this the rest of the game. So it's clearly

0:54:08.920 --> 0:54:11.239
<v Speaker 1>in his head. And everybody's gonna start punching at that thing.

0:54:11.280 --> 0:54:13.120
<v Speaker 1>And if they get a couple more out, even if

0:54:13.160 --> 0:54:15.520
<v Speaker 1>they recover them, I think that could get Sidewayster in

0:54:15.520 --> 0:54:20.759
<v Speaker 1>that backfield, and like, offensively, the Chiefs are missing a

0:54:20.840 --> 0:54:22.920
<v Speaker 1>little bit of the flash play, like the splat. Like

0:54:22.960 --> 0:54:25.200
<v Speaker 1>the numbers look good, but my homes hasn't had the

0:54:25.200 --> 0:54:27.720
<v Speaker 1>big time throws. They kind of came into the league

0:54:27.719 --> 0:54:29.799
<v Speaker 1>talking about that they want to go on these long

0:54:29.880 --> 0:54:32.239
<v Speaker 1>drives because that's how defenses are playing them. But it's like,

0:54:32.800 --> 0:54:35.120
<v Speaker 1>why play into what the defenses are trying to do?

0:54:35.200 --> 0:54:38.720
<v Speaker 1>And and again against the charges eleven play drive, twelve

0:54:38.760 --> 0:54:42.480
<v Speaker 1>play drive, ten play drive, twelve played drive, And it's

0:54:42.560 --> 0:54:44.400
<v Speaker 1>that part of it I don't like. But I also

0:54:44.480 --> 0:54:46.960
<v Speaker 1>think they're gonna be one of the best five offenses

0:54:47.000 --> 0:54:49.120
<v Speaker 1>in the league. So I'm not that concerned unless their

0:54:49.160 --> 0:54:51.560
<v Speaker 1>defense is the very worst or one of the three

0:54:51.640 --> 0:54:54.200
<v Speaker 1>or four worst in the league, and that's on the table.

0:54:54.360 --> 0:54:56.520
<v Speaker 1>I will look. I think that's on the table right

0:54:56.680 --> 0:54:58.200
<v Speaker 1>right now. And but I'm not worried about them in

0:54:58.239 --> 0:55:00.759
<v Speaker 1>Philly and those and those spla as plays that they're

0:55:00.760 --> 0:55:04.319
<v Speaker 1>famous for, whether it's Kelsey going for fifty five in

0:55:04.360 --> 0:55:07.759
<v Speaker 1>this down the seam or of course Tyreek Hill. Not

0:55:07.840 --> 0:55:11.120
<v Speaker 1>only do those, you know, lead to points, it also

0:55:11.200 --> 0:55:14.040
<v Speaker 1>kind of flips momentum of games. It changes the vibe

0:55:14.080 --> 0:55:16.400
<v Speaker 1>of a game when the Chiefs of the Chiefs defense

0:55:16.480 --> 0:55:18.080
<v Speaker 1>is asleep at the switch early in the game, which

0:55:18.120 --> 0:55:20.120
<v Speaker 1>happens all the time, all of a sudden they go

0:55:20.239 --> 0:55:22.440
<v Speaker 1>bang bang, and the whole games different. They need to

0:55:22.480 --> 0:55:24.960
<v Speaker 1>get back to that explosive element. But I'm okay, I'm

0:55:24.960 --> 0:55:26.640
<v Speaker 1>open with the Chiefs right now. Are you gonna lock

0:55:26.680 --> 0:55:31.160
<v Speaker 1>Eagle Eagles for the third straight week, Ricky or Ricky?

0:55:31.200 --> 0:55:34.480
<v Speaker 1>What's your record? By the way, I believe I am

0:55:34.480 --> 0:55:37.280
<v Speaker 1>owen two, So you should thank me for not letting

0:55:37.360 --> 0:55:41.000
<v Speaker 1>you count last week double. Because now that's that's here

0:55:41.000 --> 0:55:44.440
<v Speaker 1>comes the patriarchy. I'm saying that now it's fair. It

0:55:44.480 --> 0:55:46.719
<v Speaker 1>was a more fair solution. And now you're not owing three.

0:55:47.000 --> 0:55:49.640
<v Speaker 1>You know you're just look at it this way, Greg,

0:55:49.680 --> 0:55:52.640
<v Speaker 1>you're pulling every wrong lever possible in the locks. If

0:55:52.640 --> 0:55:55.000
<v Speaker 1>you just went on one along along with that, Ricky

0:55:55.000 --> 0:55:56.880
<v Speaker 1>would be owing three right now, and she would get it. No,

0:55:56.960 --> 0:55:59.839
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't want her to. I want a fair, equitable game.

0:55:59.880 --> 0:56:01.719
<v Speaker 1>It wouldn't make sense for it. She's only made two

0:56:01.719 --> 0:56:04.120
<v Speaker 1>off picks. She doesn't deserve to be behind me. I

0:56:04.160 --> 0:56:06.880
<v Speaker 1>should be in last. The patriarchy is here with the

0:56:06.960 --> 0:56:12.760
<v Speaker 1>Lockley's Chief's Chiefs romp. All right, they should the Eagles

0:56:12.800 --> 0:56:14.279
<v Speaker 1>on a short week. By the way, too, there's a

0:56:14.320 --> 0:56:17.239
<v Speaker 1>lot cooking on a short week. Down three offensive lineman, now,

0:56:17.320 --> 0:56:19.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean the whole thing with them was like, well

0:56:19.200 --> 0:56:21.120
<v Speaker 1>the offensive line stays healthy. They're one of the best

0:56:21.160 --> 0:56:23.200
<v Speaker 1>in leak. All Right, you're week four, you've lost three

0:56:23.200 --> 0:56:25.479
<v Speaker 1>of your starters. If the Chiefs. If the Chiefs pass

0:56:25.520 --> 0:56:27.560
<v Speaker 1>rush isn't getting home against the Eagles. We even trust

0:56:27.640 --> 0:56:30.040
<v Speaker 1>Jalen Hurts at the stage to pick him apart. We're

0:56:30.040 --> 0:56:32.840
<v Speaker 1>all gonna find out. Let's take a break before we

0:56:32.880 --> 0:56:38.600
<v Speaker 1>snake it. Oh, time for Underdog of the week. So

0:56:38.640 --> 0:56:40.600
<v Speaker 1>you get to go again, Dannis, I do sort snakes

0:56:40.640 --> 0:56:45.800
<v Speaker 1>to me. No, not the pit vipers. Hit vipers are snakes.

0:56:45.880 --> 0:56:49.880
<v Speaker 1>I got the Power rankings every Tuesday, three pm Eastern.

0:56:50.440 --> 0:56:53.120
<v Speaker 1>That's like the eighth mention of it. Yeah, take us.

0:56:53.200 --> 0:56:55.319
<v Speaker 1>Take a slip of your drink. Every time they bring

0:56:55.360 --> 0:56:59.120
<v Speaker 1>up it's like, hey, remember back in the B block,

0:56:59.560 --> 0:57:04.919
<v Speaker 1>Join the evolution A time for Underdog of the Week.

0:57:05.000 --> 0:57:07.279
<v Speaker 1>The segment is rough to you by Draft Kings and

0:57:07.360 --> 0:57:11.239
<v Speaker 1>official sports betting partner of the NFL. I'll tell you

0:57:11.320 --> 0:57:14.880
<v Speaker 1>it's an underdog this week, it's uh, my New York Jets.

0:57:15.760 --> 0:57:19.000
<v Speaker 1>I will grab this with my next pick, Titans at

0:57:19.080 --> 0:57:23.959
<v Speaker 1>Jets at the Meadow Ends. Now. Um, the Titans very nice,

0:57:24.320 --> 0:57:28.560
<v Speaker 1>very nice performance back to back weeks here getting victories,

0:57:29.080 --> 0:57:31.080
<v Speaker 1>um and leaning on their stars to do it. But

0:57:31.120 --> 0:57:34.000
<v Speaker 1>they have issues here and UM, I have to see

0:57:34.040 --> 0:57:36.200
<v Speaker 1>where they are at with the practice report. But Julio

0:57:36.320 --> 0:57:40.320
<v Speaker 1>Jones and A. J. Brown are both banged up right

0:57:40.360 --> 0:57:43.000
<v Speaker 1>now and there's a chance neither of them plays, so

0:57:43.040 --> 0:57:46.480
<v Speaker 1>they're they're top wide receivers. Luckily, you still have Ryan Tannehill,

0:57:46.520 --> 0:57:48.400
<v Speaker 1>you still have Derrick Henry, two guys who carried you

0:57:48.440 --> 0:57:52.120
<v Speaker 1>to win last week. Uh, and obviously they are heavy

0:57:52.160 --> 0:57:56.280
<v Speaker 1>favorites to take care business at the Meadow Ends. However,

0:57:56.520 --> 0:57:59.280
<v Speaker 1>the thing that disappoints me the most Greg about the

0:57:59.360 --> 0:58:01.360
<v Speaker 1>Jets so far, and they're off to an OH and

0:58:01.400 --> 0:58:03.320
<v Speaker 1>three star for the third straight year, that even the

0:58:03.400 --> 0:58:08.840
<v Speaker 1>ship we don't need that right, it is not on

0:58:08.880 --> 0:58:11.600
<v Speaker 1>in New York City for either team. The thing that

0:58:11.720 --> 0:58:14.960
<v Speaker 1>really sticks in my craw Greg about this OH and

0:58:15.040 --> 0:58:17.320
<v Speaker 1>three start is that it's a boring oh and three.

0:58:17.840 --> 0:58:20.360
<v Speaker 1>They have twenty points in three games half those points

0:58:20.400 --> 0:58:23.360
<v Speaker 1>came in garbage time. And this whole idea, we're gonna

0:58:23.400 --> 0:58:25.760
<v Speaker 1>get rid of Adam Gates, We're gonna bring in Michael Floor,

0:58:25.800 --> 0:58:27.880
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna bring in all these different schemes that we

0:58:27.920 --> 0:58:31.120
<v Speaker 1>haven't heard that Sally Luja. No not, We're not getting

0:58:31.120 --> 0:58:34.600
<v Speaker 1>that till we'll get a w um. We're gonna have

0:58:34.640 --> 0:58:38.080
<v Speaker 1>a QB friendly system for this kid. Uh And none

0:58:38.080 --> 0:58:40.680
<v Speaker 1>of that's Elijah Moore was gonna be this breakout star.

0:58:41.120 --> 0:58:44.280
<v Speaker 1>All that has just disappeared, Greg And that's what annoys me.

0:58:44.280 --> 0:58:46.560
<v Speaker 1>It's the offense flat lining out of the gates. And

0:58:46.600 --> 0:58:49.640
<v Speaker 1>I know, and it's only the Jets. They get like

0:58:49.920 --> 0:58:52.160
<v Speaker 1>arguably the best three defenses in the league back to

0:58:52.200 --> 0:58:55.320
<v Speaker 1>back to back to start the season, or just top defenses.

0:58:55.600 --> 0:58:57.920
<v Speaker 1>It softens up now against Tennessee. But I have no

0:58:57.960 --> 0:59:00.360
<v Speaker 1>reason to be confident softens way up. This is a

0:59:00.360 --> 0:59:04.400
<v Speaker 1>big week. It's a winnable game. Even if Julio plays.

0:59:04.440 --> 0:59:06.360
<v Speaker 1>My guests would be he did does just because he

0:59:06.400 --> 0:59:09.960
<v Speaker 1>finished last week's game and Julio missing practices. But Julio

0:59:10.040 --> 0:59:11.840
<v Speaker 1>spent most of the fourth fourth quarter on the bench.

0:59:11.880 --> 0:59:15.720
<v Speaker 1>That's fair, that's fair. But he did play, so just

0:59:15.760 --> 0:59:18.560
<v Speaker 1>based on his history, he is a guy who never practices.

0:59:18.720 --> 0:59:21.200
<v Speaker 1>A j Brown is fully expected to miss this game.

0:59:21.240 --> 0:59:24.520
<v Speaker 1>But you're I think their star heavy system is faulty.

0:59:24.680 --> 0:59:27.320
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Dano is working really hard for yards this year.

0:59:27.640 --> 0:59:31.440
<v Speaker 1>He's having to run. That their receivers after those two

0:59:31.480 --> 0:59:35.400
<v Speaker 1>guys are not impressive. That their defense is easily the

0:59:35.440 --> 0:59:37.560
<v Speaker 1>easiest that Zack Wilson has played. I want to see

0:59:37.600 --> 0:59:40.360
<v Speaker 1>some progress out of Zack Wilson. I want to see

0:59:40.400 --> 0:59:43.400
<v Speaker 1>some layups. I want to see some drives. I think

0:59:43.440 --> 0:59:47.680
<v Speaker 1>it's doable against Tennessee. Like show us something, because if

0:59:47.720 --> 0:59:50.200
<v Speaker 1>you just looked at these stats the Jets have, imagine

0:59:50.200 --> 0:59:52.800
<v Speaker 1>if Adam Gates was coaching this team. I mean people

0:59:52.800 --> 0:59:54.600
<v Speaker 1>would be That's what I mean. We're supposed to be.

0:59:54.800 --> 0:59:57.439
<v Speaker 1>We were supposed to be clear that Adam. But here's

0:59:57.440 --> 0:59:59.640
<v Speaker 1>the thing here, we are. It's not a panic thing.

1:00:00.240 --> 1:00:02.920
<v Speaker 1>Teams changed. But this is the week start showing me something.

1:00:03.000 --> 1:00:06.320
<v Speaker 1>Football Outsiders showed that the Tennessee Titans have one of

1:00:06.360 --> 1:00:08.640
<v Speaker 1>the worst dev o ways of any two and one

1:00:08.720 --> 1:00:11.160
<v Speaker 1>team in history, which isn't a surprise because it got

1:00:11.200 --> 1:00:14.200
<v Speaker 1>blown out Week one. But when you watch them that

1:00:14.760 --> 1:00:18.200
<v Speaker 1>last week was about as as unimpressive of two score

1:00:18.280 --> 1:00:21.400
<v Speaker 1>victory as you could conceivably had. That Titans team has

1:00:21.440 --> 1:00:24.520
<v Speaker 1>a whole lot of issues that Ryan Tannehill and Derrick

1:00:24.560 --> 1:00:27.600
<v Speaker 1>Henry and in theory these receivers make up for because

1:00:27.600 --> 1:00:30.680
<v Speaker 1>the rest of the thirty fifty three man roster. I'm like,

1:00:31.320 --> 1:00:33.760
<v Speaker 1>that's not great team. I mean, all I got is

1:00:34.400 --> 1:00:37.360
<v Speaker 1>the Jets are terrible. Like it's hard to watch that

1:00:37.400 --> 1:00:40.640
<v Speaker 1>team play football. And I was defense has been average.

1:00:40.680 --> 1:00:43.320
<v Speaker 1>Actually I think I'm talking to I got'm talking offensively,

1:00:43.320 --> 1:00:44.920
<v Speaker 1>and that I get it. You lose a lot of

1:00:44.920 --> 1:00:47.120
<v Speaker 1>your offensive line, and Beckton's a great left houckle, you

1:00:47.160 --> 1:00:49.960
<v Speaker 1>lose him. And the running games not what we had hoped.

1:00:50.000 --> 1:00:52.040
<v Speaker 1>And I was kind of excited about that running. I

1:00:52.120 --> 1:00:54.760
<v Speaker 1>was sort of excited about this offense, like you said it, Dan,

1:00:54.800 --> 1:00:57.640
<v Speaker 1>and it's just, man, we end up watching it in

1:00:57.720 --> 1:01:01.040
<v Speaker 1>the booth a lot um just because it Edj's relationship

1:01:01.120 --> 1:01:03.040
<v Speaker 1>with with Joe Douglass. So we tend to watch some

1:01:03.160 --> 1:01:05.840
<v Speaker 1>Jets and and I want to see Zach Wilson succeed.

1:01:05.840 --> 1:01:07.960
<v Speaker 1>He was blast to watch it at b y U

1:01:08.120 --> 1:01:10.640
<v Speaker 1>And man, it just he's not making his line. No,

1:01:11.000 --> 1:01:13.320
<v Speaker 1>it is not good and his receiver has had some

1:01:13.400 --> 1:01:16.120
<v Speaker 1>drops last I think it's been a total meltdown. But

1:01:16.200 --> 1:01:18.560
<v Speaker 1>if you're Jets fan listening right now, this is the

1:01:18.600 --> 1:01:20.480
<v Speaker 1>way we need to look at this. Go win this

1:01:20.560 --> 1:01:22.840
<v Speaker 1>game at least well, I don't even need to win it.

1:01:25.600 --> 1:01:30.080
<v Speaker 1>Touchdowns week one to three nightmares. Hit reset and start

1:01:30.120 --> 1:01:33.360
<v Speaker 1>playing a brand of competitive football and score some points

1:01:33.640 --> 1:01:35.920
<v Speaker 1>even if you end up getting beat late. Because I

1:01:35.960 --> 1:01:38.480
<v Speaker 1>love the Jets, says, and they're a touchdown underdog. I

1:01:38.520 --> 1:01:40.240
<v Speaker 1>love them to keep it close. That's why they're the

1:01:40.280 --> 1:01:42.480
<v Speaker 1>underdog of the week. Brought to you by Draft Kings,

1:01:42.560 --> 1:01:45.600
<v Speaker 1>an officials betting partner in the NFL. Alright, money, your

1:01:45.720 --> 1:01:49.760
<v Speaker 1>last pick. My last pick is going to be Lions Bears. Thanks.

1:01:49.800 --> 1:01:51.560
<v Speaker 1>Just from getting that out of the way that we

1:01:51.560 --> 1:01:54.120
<v Speaker 1>don't have to watch it. I just like the drama.

1:01:54.280 --> 1:01:56.560
<v Speaker 1>Bad news. We still have to watch it, Yes I do.

1:01:58.360 --> 1:02:01.120
<v Speaker 1>The Lions are not going to go zero and eleventeen oh,

1:02:01.160 --> 1:02:05.600
<v Speaker 1>Money says zero, not oh, which drives me, not kills me,

1:02:05.640 --> 1:02:07.960
<v Speaker 1>it stops me. Like remember back in the d block

1:02:08.000 --> 1:02:15.880
<v Speaker 1>when you said zero and Tuesday's specific. Um, I just

1:02:15.960 --> 1:02:18.720
<v Speaker 1>I like the drama in this game. I and I don't.

1:02:19.280 --> 1:02:20.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it's gonna be Andy Dualt, if

1:02:20.800 --> 1:02:23.920
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be Justin fields. That offensive line is terrible.

1:02:24.640 --> 1:02:26.800
<v Speaker 1>It's not like the Lions had a great game against

1:02:26.840 --> 1:02:29.400
<v Speaker 1>the Ravens, so much of that score was predicated on

1:02:29.480 --> 1:02:33.960
<v Speaker 1>self inflicted wounds and drops by Hollywood Um. At the

1:02:34.000 --> 1:02:38.120
<v Speaker 1>same time, I have been on record, even after their

1:02:38.200 --> 1:02:40.600
<v Speaker 1>victory over the Bengals, I think the Bears are one

1:02:40.640 --> 1:02:42.840
<v Speaker 1>of the worst teams in football this year. I just

1:02:42.960 --> 1:02:46.920
<v Speaker 1>ill offensively, there's no question, and I just think defensively,

1:02:46.960 --> 1:02:49.000
<v Speaker 1>it's too much for them to overcome. Do they The

1:02:49.080 --> 1:02:52.240
<v Speaker 1>defense seems good, but not great or maybe even average.

1:02:52.480 --> 1:02:55.400
<v Speaker 1>And then when you you put this together with the

1:02:55.440 --> 1:02:57.280
<v Speaker 1>offense of what you saw last week, which was not

1:02:57.360 --> 1:03:00.919
<v Speaker 1>just uncompetitive and embarrassing, frankly, with a rookie getting sacked

1:03:01.000 --> 1:03:03.400
<v Speaker 1>nine times, You're get in a situation here, money, where

1:03:04.120 --> 1:03:06.720
<v Speaker 1>you put this kid out there and then you give

1:03:07.080 --> 1:03:10.560
<v Speaker 1>such a poor performance in coaching and offensive line play

1:03:10.600 --> 1:03:13.360
<v Speaker 1>that you worry about were jacking this kid up? Are

1:03:13.360 --> 1:03:15.320
<v Speaker 1>we gonna make him see ghosts? Or some of it

1:03:15.400 --> 1:03:20.040
<v Speaker 1>was his fault? Nasty watching him back. Probably five of

1:03:20.080 --> 1:03:22.240
<v Speaker 1>them were on Justin field. If you put him in

1:03:22.280 --> 1:03:25.840
<v Speaker 1>a situation where that he's not ready, then you're just

1:03:27.080 --> 1:03:31.720
<v Speaker 1>down the line. Did you starting after what happened last week?

1:03:31.880 --> 1:03:35.840
<v Speaker 1>They said Andy Dalton is down and then he was

1:03:35.920 --> 1:03:39.040
<v Speaker 1>limited in practice on Wednesday, And unless they're going out

1:03:39.040 --> 1:03:43.280
<v Speaker 1>of their way to confuse the Lions, when you gotta

1:03:43.280 --> 1:03:45.800
<v Speaker 1>go out of your way to confuse the Lions, and

1:03:45.800 --> 1:03:49.720
<v Speaker 1>then Andy Dalton starting, because if Andy Dalton's healthy. Last

1:03:49.720 --> 1:03:52.800
<v Speaker 1>week's justin fields game was the reason why Naggie said it.

1:03:52.800 --> 1:03:54.560
<v Speaker 1>And you can bang on Naggie all you want, and

1:03:54.880 --> 1:03:59.120
<v Speaker 1>you should, but he's running in Andy Dalton offense, which

1:03:59.160 --> 1:04:01.600
<v Speaker 1>is like quick gay team and get the ball out,

1:04:01.680 --> 1:04:04.640
<v Speaker 1>and that's not really justin fields game. And the Lions

1:04:04.680 --> 1:04:07.400
<v Speaker 1>are built pretty well to stop the run. They stopped Baltimore.

1:04:07.840 --> 1:04:10.600
<v Speaker 1>That's like, it's not a good strategy, but that was

1:04:10.640 --> 1:04:13.040
<v Speaker 1>like what Dan Campbell wanted to do. Draft guys who

1:04:13.080 --> 1:04:15.040
<v Speaker 1>can stop the run, and they do have guys, and

1:04:15.080 --> 1:04:17.520
<v Speaker 1>they got Brockerts like and so I think they'll be

1:04:17.560 --> 1:04:20.000
<v Speaker 1>able to stop Montgomery. And it was in Detroit, I

1:04:20.000 --> 1:04:22.960
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't touch it. But the fact that it's a soldier field,

1:04:23.080 --> 1:04:26.160
<v Speaker 1>all those fans are hot and they're hot at you know,

1:04:26.200 --> 1:04:28.000
<v Speaker 1>whether it's fair or not, I do want to watch

1:04:28.000 --> 1:04:30.760
<v Speaker 1>this game. Might take it bad. This spy their their

1:04:30.800 --> 1:04:35.400
<v Speaker 1>comeback was impressive. Uh, it took a lot of a

1:04:35.400 --> 1:04:38.280
<v Speaker 1>lot of hoodspa moxie. They could certainly win this game.

1:04:38.320 --> 1:04:39.920
<v Speaker 1>But I think the Bears defense has been better than

1:04:39.960 --> 1:04:41.240
<v Speaker 1>you guys give him credit for it. They did a

1:04:41.280 --> 1:04:44.480
<v Speaker 1>good job against Baltimore. They did a great job against Cincinnati,

1:04:44.520 --> 1:04:47.360
<v Speaker 1>who only and they got and really swallowed them up.

1:04:47.440 --> 1:04:49.840
<v Speaker 1>And and so I I think their defense might be

1:04:50.000 --> 1:04:52.080
<v Speaker 1>enough to win. You know, Greg, you brought it up

1:04:52.200 --> 1:04:57.240
<v Speaker 1>last week, Um that Lions fans are sneaky, great fans

1:04:57.280 --> 1:04:59.760
<v Speaker 1>and loyal fans and they'll leave him be cheering after

1:04:59.800 --> 1:05:03.000
<v Speaker 1>a would play when it's thirty seventeen against the Packers.

1:05:03.040 --> 1:05:05.120
<v Speaker 1>All true, And it's the first thing that popped in

1:05:05.160 --> 1:05:08.000
<v Speaker 1>my mind when you know, sixty thousand fans went into

1:05:08.000 --> 1:05:10.640
<v Speaker 1>the building last week and watched a sixty six yard

1:05:10.680 --> 1:05:14.000
<v Speaker 1>field goal go off the crossbar and over it after

1:05:14.080 --> 1:05:20.560
<v Speaker 1>a missed delay of game penalty, Like what do we know?

1:05:22.200 --> 1:05:24.280
<v Speaker 1>The ball went to the middle of the field to hey,

1:05:24.320 --> 1:05:27.240
<v Speaker 1>football gods, and you can't smite me. You can't curse

1:05:27.280 --> 1:05:29.760
<v Speaker 1>me because I'm a Jets fan. Do your best? What

1:05:29.760 --> 1:05:31.480
<v Speaker 1>are you doing here? Can we clean it up a

1:05:31.480 --> 1:05:34.960
<v Speaker 1>little bit? Football? Gods? Uh, Greg, we gotta move. Wait

1:05:35.000 --> 1:05:37.360
<v Speaker 1>the Lions they're gonna do it? This what No, Ricky,

1:05:37.400 --> 1:05:42.480
<v Speaker 1>don't do it? Do it. I just have a good feeling.

1:05:42.720 --> 1:05:45.080
<v Speaker 1>How good is the feeling? I love it? You know what?

1:05:45.200 --> 1:05:47.440
<v Speaker 1>I love it? It just like starts tingling, and it's oh,

1:05:47.480 --> 1:05:50.200
<v Speaker 1>wait a second, it starts. I never had that. And

1:05:51.080 --> 1:05:53.200
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden, you look at Dan Campbell and

1:05:53.240 --> 1:05:56.600
<v Speaker 1>all the caffeine he drinks, and you look at them

1:05:56.640 --> 1:06:00.760
<v Speaker 1>biting knee clocks, knee clocks. I just saw that Caps.

1:06:01.000 --> 1:06:03.280
<v Speaker 1>I just saw that Dan Campbell has an in game

1:06:03.360 --> 1:06:08.240
<v Speaker 1>clock manager. Why don't other teams do this? Okay, well

1:06:08.320 --> 1:06:11.960
<v Speaker 1>you guys, my time, tell us more about the knee clocks.

1:06:11.960 --> 1:06:14.560
<v Speaker 1>So my knee clocks are tingling. Guys, I'm going to

1:06:14.640 --> 1:06:17.840
<v Speaker 1>lock up the Lions. I like it, and you need

1:06:17.840 --> 1:06:20.960
<v Speaker 1>a w not as bad as Greg because locking up

1:06:20.960 --> 1:06:24.040
<v Speaker 1>the Bucks over the Patriots, right, He's desperate. It means

1:06:24.080 --> 1:06:25.640
<v Speaker 1>a lot to him. It means a lot to him.

1:06:25.640 --> 1:06:28.600
<v Speaker 1>He needs to win this one. No, I'm done, get

1:06:28.640 --> 1:06:30.880
<v Speaker 1>to that one in three done, get back to respectability.

1:06:31.840 --> 1:06:33.680
<v Speaker 1>He loves me. I'm her best friend for showing her

1:06:34.440 --> 1:06:37.520
<v Speaker 1>how to go. Oh and three like I'm our leader

1:06:37.600 --> 1:06:41.080
<v Speaker 1>right right close out the draft. Okay, then we'll speed

1:06:41.080 --> 1:06:43.720
<v Speaker 1>through the rest of the games, will we there? We'll

1:06:43.760 --> 1:06:48.640
<v Speaker 1>do our better try um Money's like Petro's has been

1:06:48.640 --> 1:06:50.400
<v Speaker 1>doing an hour so far in his own He's like

1:06:50.480 --> 1:06:55.240
<v Speaker 1>ham At, I'll get the Saints game into this early

1:06:55.280 --> 1:06:59.400
<v Speaker 1>block Saints Giants a little more than fifteen years after

1:06:59.440 --> 1:07:03.600
<v Speaker 1>Steve Glee Sin became a household name. This feels like

1:07:04.840 --> 1:07:06.760
<v Speaker 1>the t the game you don't want to draw if

1:07:06.760 --> 1:07:10.440
<v Speaker 1>you're the Giants lay being, there's just gonna be something extra.

1:07:11.040 --> 1:07:14.080
<v Speaker 1>And if you don't think there's gonna be just something extra, hey,

1:07:14.120 --> 1:07:16.920
<v Speaker 1>watch these first three saintschemes. I know they got they

1:07:16.960 --> 1:07:20.600
<v Speaker 1>got blown out eventually against the Panthers, missing seven coaches

1:07:20.640 --> 1:07:23.280
<v Speaker 1>and six players. But if you watch the defense in

1:07:23.320 --> 1:07:26.640
<v Speaker 1>that game, that same Donald team, despite the great field

1:07:26.640 --> 1:07:29.280
<v Speaker 1>position they had, we're stuck on seventeen again and again

1:07:29.280 --> 1:07:31.320
<v Speaker 1>and again. And there's something going on with this Saints

1:07:31.400 --> 1:07:34.920
<v Speaker 1>defense where a little greater than the some of their parts.

1:07:35.160 --> 1:07:37.680
<v Speaker 1>I think this Saints team is a little greater than

1:07:37.680 --> 1:07:41.120
<v Speaker 1>the some of their parts. No, I already locked up

1:07:41.160 --> 1:07:45.280
<v Speaker 1>the bucks. Um, I wouldn't even be allowed to respectable.

1:07:45.760 --> 1:07:48.440
<v Speaker 1>This is actually over the number the Patriots are not,

1:07:48.520 --> 1:07:56.760
<v Speaker 1>so I would happily um. Their coverage in one is

1:07:57.880 --> 1:08:02.160
<v Speaker 1>what is making this defense special. Seed Deuce Marshawn Lattimore,

1:08:02.520 --> 1:08:05.200
<v Speaker 1>Marcus Williams, one of the most underrated safeties in the league.

1:08:05.440 --> 1:08:08.320
<v Speaker 1>Malcolm Jenkins is still playing well to Mario Davis. Those

1:08:08.320 --> 1:08:11.840
<v Speaker 1>guys have been together. They passed the receivers off, they

1:08:11.840 --> 1:08:13.560
<v Speaker 1>know how to play zone, they know how to play man.

1:08:13.600 --> 1:08:17.200
<v Speaker 1>I just think they are now. They're just a really

1:08:17.280 --> 1:08:20.200
<v Speaker 1>underrated group right now that I think knows how to

1:08:20.320 --> 1:08:24.240
<v Speaker 1>swallow up mediocre passing games. And that's what the Giants are,

1:08:24.320 --> 1:08:33.200
<v Speaker 1>ultimately mediocre zero and four. Judge Kyle Rudolph, my head

1:08:33.200 --> 1:08:35.639
<v Speaker 1>coach coaches, though he's like one of the most well

1:08:35.720 --> 1:08:43.800
<v Speaker 1>liked playing the graduate Elder High School, the same high

1:08:43.800 --> 1:08:49.439
<v Speaker 1>school where Nick Wesselen being interviewed at in a feature. Um,

1:08:49.640 --> 1:08:52.120
<v Speaker 1>is that right? How do you feel fun about it?

1:08:52.479 --> 1:08:57.040
<v Speaker 1>Once again? Yeah, Wis Westlings. Kyle Rudolph didn't have to

1:08:57.080 --> 1:08:59.479
<v Speaker 1>say that, he could just say I love Joe judge.

1:08:59.479 --> 1:09:01.759
<v Speaker 1>He's a great coach. That's all I gotta do. Instead,

1:09:01.760 --> 1:09:03.800
<v Speaker 1>he's gotta take the shot, and he needs to step

1:09:03.840 --> 1:09:05.599
<v Speaker 1>up because they might not have Shepherd in this game.

1:09:05.600 --> 1:09:08.240
<v Speaker 1>That's a hun might have Slate in their offensive line.

1:09:10.880 --> 1:09:15.479
<v Speaker 1>Um troubling Jamis, I'm gonna make here's my bold predicting

1:09:15.560 --> 1:09:18.040
<v Speaker 1>Jamis goes over a hundred and fifty yards for the

1:09:18.040 --> 1:09:21.360
<v Speaker 1>first time this season. Let's go three hundred and three.

1:09:21.439 --> 1:09:23.679
<v Speaker 1>Let's wipe the floor with them. Let's give him something

1:09:23.720 --> 1:09:27.120
<v Speaker 1>to cheer about. The Giants getting beat by the Falcons

1:09:27.160 --> 1:09:28.960
<v Speaker 1>last week, that that that's curtains for them. I think.

1:09:29.000 --> 1:09:31.599
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of the Falcons, let's go there next Washington football

1:09:31.600 --> 1:09:36.200
<v Speaker 1>team at UM. That's amazed Atlanta. I took the Lions Bears.

1:09:36.280 --> 1:09:40.360
<v Speaker 1>He takes his officially over and the Steelers and Packers

1:09:40.360 --> 1:09:43.439
<v Speaker 1>are still on the board. Ye're boring, I know, but

1:09:43.479 --> 1:09:46.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying it's the Steelers and the Packers. We're going

1:09:46.320 --> 1:09:50.920
<v Speaker 1>Lions Bears. Were there watching football team at Falcons. Yes,

1:09:50.960 --> 1:09:52.720
<v Speaker 1>the Falcons beat the Giants, but I didn't watch a

1:09:52.720 --> 1:09:54.920
<v Speaker 1>game and think to myself, oh okay, maybe the turn

1:09:54.960 --> 1:09:56.840
<v Speaker 1>in the corner here. I do not think they're very

1:09:56.840 --> 1:10:00.000
<v Speaker 1>good team. I don't think Washington is a good team,

1:10:00.160 --> 1:10:04.360
<v Speaker 1>or they could be. I'm not writing off the football team,

1:10:04.439 --> 1:10:07.760
<v Speaker 1>and I think, in fact, I know they're gonna get

1:10:07.760 --> 1:10:10.080
<v Speaker 1>healthy here. And we've been talking about where's young and sweaty?

1:10:10.160 --> 1:10:12.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, where is this defense? What is going on

1:10:13.479 --> 1:10:15.400
<v Speaker 1>with what we thought this team was gonna be. Well,

1:10:15.400 --> 1:10:18.880
<v Speaker 1>guess what, Matt Ryan's a statue back there. This line

1:10:18.960 --> 1:10:21.080
<v Speaker 1>is not going to be able to block the Washington front.

1:10:21.120 --> 1:10:25.479
<v Speaker 1>And guess what, I am locking up the football team.

1:10:26.200 --> 1:10:28.759
<v Speaker 1>Forget about this West Coast bias. That's on East Coast

1:10:28.800 --> 1:10:33.040
<v Speaker 1>bias for you. The football team will get the w

1:10:33.439 --> 1:10:35.840
<v Speaker 1>young and sweaty. Mark my words. You're gonna see Matt

1:10:35.920 --> 1:10:40.559
<v Speaker 1>Ryan eaton fake turf all game long. And anybody have

1:10:40.560 --> 1:10:42.000
<v Speaker 1>a thought in this game, I do. I mean, I

1:10:42.040 --> 1:10:43.920
<v Speaker 1>think those are two of the worst teams in the league.

1:10:44.840 --> 1:10:47.000
<v Speaker 1>One of them. Put down that low. You think they're

1:10:47.040 --> 1:10:49.120
<v Speaker 1>one of the very worst teams. Yeah, I think they

1:10:49.120 --> 1:10:50.960
<v Speaker 1>were one of the worst. Uh, they have one of

1:10:51.000 --> 1:10:52.840
<v Speaker 1>the worst defenses, and that's what they're supposed to be

1:10:52.880 --> 1:10:55.080
<v Speaker 1>based on. So until they stopped playing like one of

1:10:55.120 --> 1:10:58.040
<v Speaker 1>the worst defenses, you have Tyler Heineke's like a little

1:10:58.040 --> 1:11:01.639
<v Speaker 1>better than their quarterbacks last year, but not enough better. Uh,

1:11:01.680 --> 1:11:04.120
<v Speaker 1>they just had And yeah, you're right the falcon, Like,

1:11:04.160 --> 1:11:05.800
<v Speaker 1>what are you doing here out there? Smith? You're turning

1:11:05.800 --> 1:11:08.040
<v Speaker 1>Calvin Ridney into a guy who was averaging eight yards

1:11:08.040 --> 1:11:11.000
<v Speaker 1>per catch, driving me crazy. Pitts is not going not

1:11:11.120 --> 1:11:14.519
<v Speaker 1>been a huge factor. No attempts last week, over twenty yards.

1:11:14.520 --> 1:11:16.120
<v Speaker 1>It's two bad teams, but one of them is gonna

1:11:16.120 --> 1:11:18.280
<v Speaker 1>be two and two, and teams can change, so Washington

1:11:18.280 --> 1:11:20.320
<v Speaker 1>has a much better chance to change. That's what I'm

1:11:20.320 --> 1:11:22.479
<v Speaker 1>with you there. I'm with Bill scored twenty seven points

1:11:22.479 --> 1:11:24.639
<v Speaker 1>in the first half against Washington last week. Josh Allen

1:11:24.680 --> 1:11:26.880
<v Speaker 1>was over three hundred yards passing with nine minutes playing

1:11:26.920 --> 1:11:29.680
<v Speaker 1>the third quarter. That's all bad, but it has to

1:11:29.720 --> 1:11:32.000
<v Speaker 1>turn somewhere. Sometimes just beating up on a bad team

1:11:32.040 --> 1:11:33.760
<v Speaker 1>is what you need to get your confidence going again

1:11:33.800 --> 1:11:35.320
<v Speaker 1>and get the scheme work in the way it should.

1:11:35.479 --> 1:11:38.160
<v Speaker 1>That's what I think up next, Why don't we hit it?

1:11:38.160 --> 1:11:42.080
<v Speaker 1>Since Money mentioned it's Steelers at Packers and you know CBS,

1:11:42.120 --> 1:11:45.840
<v Speaker 1>they said, let's send nance and Romo there. That's we

1:11:45.880 --> 1:11:47.880
<v Speaker 1>got Lambo and the Steelers are going to be a

1:11:47.920 --> 1:11:49.960
<v Speaker 1>powerhouse at the end of it. Well, I don't think

1:11:49.960 --> 1:11:51.800
<v Speaker 1>they are money. I don't think the Steelers are at all.

1:11:51.800 --> 1:11:54.360
<v Speaker 1>And I don't think they have a chance here. Dude, terrible,

1:11:54.400 --> 1:11:57.240
<v Speaker 1>The old line is terrible. Nagy Harris is not explosive

1:11:57.360 --> 1:12:00.080
<v Speaker 1>right now, even though he's getting fifteen targets like of

1:12:00.160 --> 1:12:03.719
<v Speaker 1>receptions per game. There's just not enough juice there, Um,

1:12:03.880 --> 1:12:07.760
<v Speaker 1>big bend. Look it, father time is not friendly man,

1:12:07.840 --> 1:12:10.479
<v Speaker 1>and and typically it does not end how anybody wants

1:12:10.520 --> 1:12:12.760
<v Speaker 1>it to. In this sport, very rarely do you get

1:12:12.760 --> 1:12:16.120
<v Speaker 1>the Tom Brady story or the Jerome Bettist story. It

1:12:16.160 --> 1:12:18.640
<v Speaker 1>typically ends like this, and it feels like this is

1:12:19.400 --> 1:12:23.160
<v Speaker 1>sort of your your standard end to a superstar story

1:12:23.600 --> 1:12:26.080
<v Speaker 1>in an NFL career. Plus, like people are saying, like,

1:12:26.520 --> 1:12:28.639
<v Speaker 1>you know, he's not the type of guy who's gonna age. Well,

1:12:28.680 --> 1:12:31.800
<v Speaker 1>it's like he has aged. Well, he's past that point.

1:12:31.840 --> 1:12:35.519
<v Speaker 1>Now he's aged. It's over. He's like thirty thirty nine.

1:12:35.560 --> 1:12:37.719
<v Speaker 1>He was playing at a very high level at thirty five.

1:12:37.840 --> 1:12:39.920
<v Speaker 1>But that was kind of like the old even as

1:12:39.920 --> 1:12:42.160
<v Speaker 1>recently is the Peyton Manning eras like once you hit

1:12:42.200 --> 1:12:45.240
<v Speaker 1>thirty seven, thirty eight, you were cooked. Now there's more thought.

1:12:45.280 --> 1:12:47.920
<v Speaker 1>Maybe you can get the thirty ninety's not that guy

1:12:49.080 --> 1:12:51.519
<v Speaker 1>that guy, And yeah, I like the Packers to win

1:12:51.600 --> 1:12:55.840
<v Speaker 1>because as much as everyone's enjoying piling on Ben Roethlisberg,

1:12:55.960 --> 1:12:58.120
<v Speaker 1>probably because he hasn't been like that nice of them

1:12:58.160 --> 1:13:00.920
<v Speaker 1>over the years. Like this team has other problems. I

1:13:02.880 --> 1:13:06.280
<v Speaker 1>just mean, nationally beat reporters everyone, um because he blocked

1:13:06.360 --> 1:13:08.720
<v Speaker 1>us on Twitter, Right, that's sort of stuff. It's like,

1:13:09.040 --> 1:13:13.639
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, he was credibly accused of sexual

1:13:13.640 --> 1:13:16.320
<v Speaker 1>assault multiple times. I think it's okay to mention that

1:13:16.320 --> 1:13:20.240
<v Speaker 1>that he's not like America's favorite bad guy bad guy.

1:13:20.280 --> 1:13:22.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm not covering for Big Ben, but right, that's all

1:13:22.040 --> 1:13:26.519
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. He's not the only problem. Can we get, ah,

1:13:26.800 --> 1:13:29.519
<v Speaker 1>I know everyone loves Minca Fitzpatrick. Can we get like

1:13:29.560 --> 1:13:32.280
<v Speaker 1>through one game where multiple touchdowns don't go over his

1:13:32.320 --> 1:13:35.000
<v Speaker 1>head for like sixty yards, because like, I know, I'm

1:13:35.000 --> 1:13:37.240
<v Speaker 1>not like, I'm not like XS and knows I know

1:13:37.320 --> 1:13:40.320
<v Speaker 1>all the safety's assignment. But every Steelers game you watch,

1:13:40.840 --> 1:13:45.439
<v Speaker 1>there are literally multiple touchdowns Patrick is running after the

1:13:45.479 --> 1:13:48.640
<v Speaker 1>receiver as they score a touchdown. So whether that's the

1:13:48.640 --> 1:13:51.120
<v Speaker 1>rest of the secondaries fault or his fault. I'm not

1:13:51.200 --> 1:13:53.519
<v Speaker 1>saying I know that, but it's a problem. And their

1:13:53.560 --> 1:13:55.960
<v Speaker 1>offensive lines things too, Like it's not just Ben Route

1:13:56.000 --> 1:13:59.799
<v Speaker 1>this bigger. That's all I'm saying. Darren moving on Texans

1:13:59.840 --> 1:14:03.479
<v Speaker 1>at Bills as we all like, I mean, the Texas trying.

1:14:03.640 --> 1:14:06.759
<v Speaker 1>Texans are trying their best, and they they like Smith

1:14:06.760 --> 1:14:09.479
<v Speaker 1>back in the league. Lovey Smith is doing a nice job.

1:14:10.720 --> 1:14:13.519
<v Speaker 1>That's what I mean. It's good to happen back defense.

1:14:13.560 --> 1:14:16.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's great. But if Josh Allen and I was

1:14:16.680 --> 1:14:20.600
<v Speaker 1>actually surprised as PF grade and that's obviously subjective, but

1:14:20.800 --> 1:14:22.560
<v Speaker 1>was not as high. And I watched a game and

1:14:22.720 --> 1:14:24.920
<v Speaker 1>like that guy, did you factor in PF that he

1:14:25.000 --> 1:14:28.439
<v Speaker 1>was cutting through swirling winds in that building and basically

1:14:28.479 --> 1:14:31.160
<v Speaker 1>doing whatever he wanted. There are things that PF does

1:14:31.200 --> 1:14:35.800
<v Speaker 1>that I probably not probably probably not, probably nicked them

1:14:35.800 --> 1:14:37.800
<v Speaker 1>for a couple of those deep misses. But that doesn't

1:14:37.840 --> 1:14:40.679
<v Speaker 1>seem happening anyway. The Bills, if they get that Josh

1:14:40.680 --> 1:14:42.639
<v Speaker 1>Allen again, which is no reason to think they won't

1:14:42.680 --> 1:14:45.120
<v Speaker 1>against this Texans defense, even though it's been better than

1:14:45.160 --> 1:14:48.040
<v Speaker 1>expected under Lovely Smith, this feels like a blowout. Tell

1:14:48.040 --> 1:14:51.400
<v Speaker 1>me why it won't be money. They will be Yeah, Greg,

1:14:52.240 --> 1:14:54.120
<v Speaker 1>you wanna you want to know what I'm gonna acknowledge

1:14:54.120 --> 1:14:57.000
<v Speaker 1>here when talking about the Bills. The seventeen and a

1:14:57.080 --> 1:14:59.080
<v Speaker 1>half point spread in this game, how that for a

1:14:59.200 --> 1:15:01.880
<v Speaker 1>seventeen too? That for a week four game. And I'm

1:15:01.960 --> 1:15:04.240
<v Speaker 1>and I still would not take them if I got

1:15:04.240 --> 1:15:09.040
<v Speaker 1>to choose, and I do, I'm taking the Bills. Yeah,

1:15:09.040 --> 1:15:10.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean we have to do it. On game picks.

1:15:10.960 --> 1:15:13.040
<v Speaker 1>They put it right above the pick. Now they're keeping scoring.

1:15:13.080 --> 1:15:15.479
<v Speaker 1>I think I'm still taking the Bills. I'm a sucker.

1:15:15.760 --> 1:15:18.800
<v Speaker 1>I am a sucker for the Big ten. And I'm

1:15:18.880 --> 1:15:21.160
<v Speaker 1>very happy to see a j Epanessa rebound from a

1:15:21.160 --> 1:15:24.040
<v Speaker 1>disappointing rookie year to look pretty darn good in his

1:15:24.120 --> 1:15:29.640
<v Speaker 1>sophomore campaign and continuing the wave of pass rushers and

1:15:29.720 --> 1:15:32.560
<v Speaker 1>pressure guys that they have on that front. For Sean McDermott,

1:15:32.560 --> 1:15:34.160
<v Speaker 1>I think that's gonna be a big problem for the

1:15:34.160 --> 1:15:38.120
<v Speaker 1>a f C the whole season. Davis. I mean, if

1:15:38.120 --> 1:15:40.880
<v Speaker 1>Tyrod's in this game, I'd put it under ten. That's

1:15:40.880 --> 1:15:43.040
<v Speaker 1>how Tyrode might win the m v P just for

1:15:43.080 --> 1:15:46.240
<v Speaker 1>not playing like you. Just this team is unplayable. I

1:15:46.280 --> 1:15:49.080
<v Speaker 1>think with Davis Mills. I mean, he like, look how

1:15:49.280 --> 1:15:51.920
<v Speaker 1>much Zach Wilson and Trevor Lawrence are struggling. Put them

1:15:51.920 --> 1:15:55.240
<v Speaker 1>on the Texans um and then turn them into Davis Mills.

1:15:55.680 --> 1:15:59.000
<v Speaker 1>But because they're much better than Davis Mills. Over under,

1:15:59.040 --> 1:16:01.639
<v Speaker 1>I'll set it at three and a half how much

1:16:01.680 --> 1:16:04.040
<v Speaker 1>the second place team in the a f C finishes

1:16:04.080 --> 1:16:08.720
<v Speaker 1>behind the Bills the a f C a C East. Sorry,

1:16:09.160 --> 1:16:11.240
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna say, I don't think that was bold,

1:16:11.240 --> 1:16:13.120
<v Speaker 1>although I'm kind of with you that I would take

1:16:13.160 --> 1:16:14.800
<v Speaker 1>the Bills as the number one seed right now. If

1:16:14.840 --> 1:16:18.400
<v Speaker 1>I had to choose, Uh, what should the over underbe?

1:16:18.640 --> 1:16:22.040
<v Speaker 1>Three and a half? I said it, Oh, under them? Three?

1:16:22.600 --> 1:16:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Three is a lot. I think they're gonna go thirteen

1:16:25.000 --> 1:16:27.400
<v Speaker 1>and four, and I'm not feeling too hot about the

1:16:27.400 --> 1:16:30.519
<v Speaker 1>rest of the division anymore. That's true, but I'm not

1:16:30.600 --> 1:16:34.439
<v Speaker 1>trusting my prognostication skills. And three is just to get

1:16:34.479 --> 1:16:36.720
<v Speaker 1>four games ahead. That's like a lot. I mean, the

1:16:36.720 --> 1:16:41.160
<v Speaker 1>Pats did it probably. I think the Pats seven or eight.

1:16:41.240 --> 1:16:45.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, is it toxic in Miami? You know it is?

1:16:45.400 --> 1:16:47.639
<v Speaker 1>Is it weird as it feels like it's getting Let's

1:16:47.680 --> 1:16:49.720
<v Speaker 1>go to that game, then, all right, is our last game.

1:16:49.760 --> 1:16:53.280
<v Speaker 1>It is the Colts at the Dolphins. The Colts obviously

1:16:53.400 --> 1:16:57.120
<v Speaker 1>you needed them, In fact, many of us expected them

1:16:57.160 --> 1:16:59.160
<v Speaker 1>to get off the mat and what felt like a

1:16:59.240 --> 1:17:02.360
<v Speaker 1>must win against a Titans team that still feels vulnerable,

1:17:02.640 --> 1:17:04.599
<v Speaker 1>and they couldn't do it. They just couldn't figure it out.

1:17:04.600 --> 1:17:07.120
<v Speaker 1>So then you're like, Okay, maybe the Colts just aren't

1:17:07.200 --> 1:17:10.200
<v Speaker 1>any good. We talked about on Tuesday, Greg extreme starts

1:17:10.240 --> 1:17:11.559
<v Speaker 1>that I think you and I are in the same

1:17:11.600 --> 1:17:14.160
<v Speaker 1>boat that they could come back. Well, if they're going to,

1:17:14.560 --> 1:17:17.120
<v Speaker 1>they gotta beat the Dolphins. And by the way, what

1:17:17.280 --> 1:17:20.479
<v Speaker 1>makes this an interesting game is that Dolphins absolutely need

1:17:20.479 --> 1:17:23.000
<v Speaker 1>this game too, because if you look where they are

1:17:23.080 --> 1:17:26.280
<v Speaker 1>schedule wise, if they don't win this game, I believe

1:17:26.280 --> 1:17:29.080
<v Speaker 1>they have the Bucks next week and more trouble after that.

1:17:29.240 --> 1:17:32.519
<v Speaker 1>So their season could be in deep, deep ruin if

1:17:32.560 --> 1:17:34.559
<v Speaker 1>they don't find to win a way to win this game.

1:17:34.720 --> 1:17:39.040
<v Speaker 1>Sneaky high stakes here, Yeah, there. I trust in the Dolphins.

1:17:39.120 --> 1:17:41.000
<v Speaker 1>I think they're better than the some of their parts.

1:17:41.280 --> 1:17:43.360
<v Speaker 1>I think they'll win this game. These are the two

1:17:43.400 --> 1:17:47.439
<v Speaker 1>worst past blocking offensive lines according to PFF. Not a

1:17:47.520 --> 1:17:50.280
<v Speaker 1>huge shock if you've watched the Dolphins game, but man,

1:17:50.360 --> 1:17:53.360
<v Speaker 1>that's the opposite of what we expected out of the Colts.

1:17:53.360 --> 1:17:56.639
<v Speaker 1>And they've had injuries and Eric Fisher is just coming back.

1:17:56.680 --> 1:17:59.280
<v Speaker 1>But what are we talking about here if we've got

1:17:59.280 --> 1:18:01.719
<v Speaker 1>one of the worst path stocking offensive lines and Carson

1:18:01.720 --> 1:18:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Wentz can't move. And then the thing that stuck out

1:18:04.040 --> 1:18:07.160
<v Speaker 1>to me and that Titans game is the Colts defensive

1:18:07.160 --> 1:18:09.720
<v Speaker 1>stars aren't the same. Darius Leonard is banged up right

1:18:09.720 --> 1:18:12.920
<v Speaker 1>now and kind of playing through it. Buckner has been quiet.

1:18:13.320 --> 1:18:15.679
<v Speaker 1>Kenny Moore and and is Zavier Rhodes who were playing

1:18:15.680 --> 1:18:17.400
<v Speaker 1>well like they're giving a big play, like there's not

1:18:17.439 --> 1:18:19.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot They have their what is it your hat

1:18:20.000 --> 1:18:23.240
<v Speaker 1>to hang on? They they have not gonna put They're

1:18:23.320 --> 1:18:25.599
<v Speaker 1>just wearing their hat. They're not gonna hang it. They

1:18:25.720 --> 1:18:27.519
<v Speaker 1>just gotta wear it because they got nothing they do

1:18:27.600 --> 1:18:29.800
<v Speaker 1>well right now, the you know, and it it just

1:18:29.880 --> 1:18:33.320
<v Speaker 1>goes back to, hey, we're gonna reunite Jalen Waddle with

1:18:33.400 --> 1:18:35.720
<v Speaker 1>TWA and it's gonna it's gonna unlock him and you're

1:18:35.720 --> 1:18:39.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna see why he's special. Just draft the tackle man,

1:18:39.320 --> 1:18:42.960
<v Speaker 1>Just draft later, draft seol, get the guy protection up

1:18:42.960 --> 1:18:45.120
<v Speaker 1>front and I get it. You already invested in Austin

1:18:45.200 --> 1:18:47.920
<v Speaker 1>Jackson and it got Eichenberg that a lot of teams liked.

1:18:48.600 --> 1:18:53.720
<v Speaker 1>Uh later they the whole line is struggling. It's you know.

1:18:53.760 --> 1:18:56.240
<v Speaker 1>And look, it's worked out to some degree for Burrow,

1:18:56.280 --> 1:18:58.120
<v Speaker 1>he's still getting hit a little too much, a cringe

1:18:58.160 --> 1:19:00.400
<v Speaker 1>every time he takes a shot. But Jamar Chase has

1:19:00.439 --> 1:19:02.680
<v Speaker 1>worked out really well instead of one of the tackles. Right,

1:19:02.720 --> 1:19:04.760
<v Speaker 1>it sounds good until you get to week three and

1:19:04.760 --> 1:19:07.920
<v Speaker 1>you have to Kobe Brissett not having time to get

1:19:07.960 --> 1:19:14.320
<v Speaker 1>the ball to I mean it is terrible. Um, they

1:19:14.320 --> 1:19:17.200
<v Speaker 1>are Dolphins, Let's be honest. There one Damian Harris fumble

1:19:17.240 --> 1:19:19.160
<v Speaker 1>away from being old and through that. And but you

1:19:19.200 --> 1:19:22.280
<v Speaker 1>love the Raiders. They pushed them to overdime. I know

1:19:22.320 --> 1:19:24.840
<v Speaker 1>it took I just got I love having to I

1:19:24.840 --> 1:19:26.599
<v Speaker 1>know it's a short game. We're not talking to lot,

1:19:26.640 --> 1:19:29.360
<v Speaker 1>but I love having Jacobe back. He's great. He's talking

1:19:29.360 --> 1:19:31.880
<v Speaker 1>about a gamer. Talk about a guy who puts his

1:19:31.960 --> 1:19:36.160
<v Speaker 1>lunch pale on. I mean he puts don't know, he's

1:19:35.920 --> 1:19:39.760
<v Speaker 1>like his put hard hat brings this lunch pale. There's

1:19:39.800 --> 1:19:42.519
<v Speaker 1>something about him. Fourth and nine game on the line,

1:19:42.720 --> 1:19:45.240
<v Speaker 1>hits it fourth and one on the goal line, game

1:19:45.280 --> 1:19:46.960
<v Speaker 1>on the line, puts his foot in the dirt and

1:19:47.000 --> 1:19:49.519
<v Speaker 1>makes a guy miss, hits the two point conversion with

1:19:49.560 --> 1:19:52.519
<v Speaker 1>the game online, fourth and twenty on overtime, he hits it.

1:19:52.600 --> 1:19:55.000
<v Speaker 1>There is something about it was almost like having a

1:19:55.000 --> 1:19:58.479
<v Speaker 1>good backup quarterback, as as you don't want him be

1:19:58.520 --> 1:20:00.639
<v Speaker 1>your starter, but he's like he's got like a Frank

1:20:00.760 --> 1:20:02.760
<v Speaker 1>vich Reich vibe, where if you put him in the

1:20:02.800 --> 1:20:05.479
<v Speaker 1>playoff game, I somehow believe that he'll make the keep playing.

1:20:05.600 --> 1:20:07.200
<v Speaker 1>Here's here's what I was saying. By the way, at

1:20:07.200 --> 1:20:10.160
<v Speaker 1>the top of this, the Colts obviously owned three. They

1:20:10.160 --> 1:20:12.760
<v Speaker 1>don't beat Miami this week, they're own four and going

1:20:12.800 --> 1:20:15.719
<v Speaker 1>to Baltimore, have a nice season, and enjoy golf in January.

1:20:16.120 --> 1:20:18.800
<v Speaker 1>The Dolphins, if they don't take care of business here,

1:20:18.840 --> 1:20:20.640
<v Speaker 1>if they lose and go to one in three, then

1:20:20.680 --> 1:20:24.120
<v Speaker 1>they're at Tampa and they're one and four. But if

1:20:24.160 --> 1:20:27.639
<v Speaker 1>they win this game, you get beaten Tampa. Okay, you're fine,

1:20:27.920 --> 1:20:29.519
<v Speaker 1>You're right, you're two and three because then you got

1:20:29.560 --> 1:20:32.559
<v Speaker 1>at Jacksonville home Atlanta the next two weeks and you're

1:20:32.560 --> 1:20:35.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna be okay. But don't lose this game, I'll lose it.

1:20:36.720 --> 1:20:40.200
<v Speaker 1>I believe of the four units. Um, Sorry, special teams.

1:20:40.240 --> 1:20:43.160
<v Speaker 1>I know you're an important part, but the Dolphins defense

1:20:43.240 --> 1:20:45.479
<v Speaker 1>is the best of the four units, and that should

1:20:45.479 --> 1:20:47.640
<v Speaker 1>be that. Yeah, that should still be the difference in

1:20:47.720 --> 1:20:50.080
<v Speaker 1>this game. Money, you've said it all. I have. I've

1:20:50.080 --> 1:20:52.439
<v Speaker 1>said too much. It's why this pot is an hour. Now.

1:20:52.520 --> 1:20:55.519
<v Speaker 1>This is actually where we're trending in the right direction,

1:20:55.640 --> 1:20:58.240
<v Speaker 1>where this is our shortest Thursday show a couple of minutes.

1:20:58.280 --> 1:21:02.280
<v Speaker 1>So we're doing thank you money, um. And in case

1:21:02.720 --> 1:21:05.320
