Speaker 1: Apple Podcast, Stitcher, YouTube, or wherever else you'd like to listen.

7
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: Here open from the song I want to start from

8
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:35,639
Speaker 1: Nick Mullins. Why cattle touchdown? Mullins is on fire. There

9
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: may be a few less people on the plus back

10
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:42,160
Speaker 1: over to old Land after this one. Oh Nick at

11
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: Night had no mercy on the Oakland Raiders thirty four

12
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 1: to three. I don't want to sound like an apologist

13
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: for the NFL here, but if you're gonna watch just

14
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: one game between two one win teams all season, that

15
00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: is thirty four to three, this has this has to be.

16
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: It was kind of fun to watch the Nick Molans show.

17
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: It wasn't what anyone expected. This was the one of

18
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 1: the lowest combined winning percentages in the history of primetime

19
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: football entering this game after November one, and Nick Mullins,

20
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,839
Speaker 1: I mean he came out and stole the show. Kyle

21
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: Shanahan you could tell had him very prepared. He was,

22
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: you know, he came out with a scripted plays, hit

23
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: his first six throws and then you know, from there

24
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: it sort of became like the battle between Nick Mullin's

25
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: dreams come true and a Raiders defense that didn't seem

26
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: too interested in tackling anyone. Yeah, he only Nick Molins, uh.

27
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: You know, in his second season, undrafted Southern miss, no

28
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: one knew anything about him. A lot of people picked up,

29
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: you know, the the Raiders fantasy defense to go up

30
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: against them. But like these like c. J. Bethard, like

31
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: a lot of Kyle Shanahan quarterbacks, he was ready to go.

32
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: He did some nice things in terms of looking off

33
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: the defenders before going back to them, some kind of

34
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: next level stuff. Ultimately, he didn't have to do that much.

35
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: Only through throws, had two hundred sixty two yards, three touchdowns.

36
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: Guys were pretty wide open, and it was about as

37
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: low as this Raiders season has been like this. This

38
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: was the low point they they blend. They bench Reggie Nelson.

39
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,519
Speaker 1: At one point, Rashaan Melvin, who was their big free

40
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: agent pickup, wasn't even active. For the game because he

41
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 1: was bench They benched their right tackle Parker for a while,

42
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: like they just keep They benched Martavis Bryant last week.

43
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: Had to put they can't decide who to bench because

44
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: everyone's terrible. They've got two dysfunctional units at least on

45
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: this team, the offensive line in the secondary, and they

46
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: shift bodies in and out because they can't find anything

47
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: that works. And both those units have Grooden. Uh. The

48
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: lip readers are deciphering what he's saying on the sidelines

49
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 1: with both of them because he's so exasperated. But this

50
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: reminded me their offense. They can said can't we can't

51
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: ff and block anyone. Yeah, and their offense they come

52
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: out and they go down the field. On the first drive,

53
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: they get into field goal range and then Colton millar

54
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: Re injures his knee and everything goes to hell. It

55
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: looked like the Seattle game where they just couldn't run

56
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: an offense. After that, it's tough. I mean, Derek Carr

57
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: was sacked a lot, but Derek Carr kind of runs

58
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: into those sacks a little bit, so it's a chicken

59
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: in the egg where you know he's sliding on second

60
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: and eleven with no defenders around him. I remember three

61
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: third and longs where he threw well short of the stick.

62
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: It's one was like third and twenty three, but your

63
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: past midfield and you throw it two yards to Brandon LaFell.

64
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: And that's kind of where the Raiders are at right now.

65
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: And they just look like a team that gave up

66
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 1: and they have eight games left. It's about as ugly

67
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: a situation as we've seen in a long time. If

68
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: you're a Raiders fan, are you more depressed about the

69
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: effort level on defense or about the fact that you

70
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: might not be able to evaluate Derek Carr behind this

71
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: offensive line the rest of the year. I'm I guess

72
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: the effort level because that speaks more to just as

73
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: John Gruden ever gonna figure anything out, And uh yeah,

74
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: at least we got to see George kit will do it.

75
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: George Kittle, the tight end on my All Pro team.

76
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: He looked that that seventy one yard catch. I mean

77
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: to pull it in one hand and then not break

78
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: stride and keep going. I I was happy just for

79
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan, who's who has had a hangdog expression in

80
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: all season. I think he's he's trying to He's trying

81
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: to do his best here and they get a second win.

82
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: They've had a lot of bad luck, so it was

83
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: a fun night for them and a terrible night for

84
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,359
Speaker 1: the Raiders, who have the worst defense in NFL history

85
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: right now in terms of yards per play allowed going

86
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: into this game, it got significantly worse. So this is

87
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: an historically bad Raiders team that we're probably not going

88
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 1: to talk that much about the rest of the season,

89
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: except when we're forced to. That checks out before we

90
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 1: throw it over to Dan Hansas and Mark Sessler. I

91
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: didn't even introduce myself to start the show. This is

92
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 1: Greg obviously with Chris Wesseling. I just wanted to get

93
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,799
Speaker 1: your thoughts, Chris Westling. We had got some news after

94
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: we taped all the games earlier that Paul Zimmerman, doctor Z,

95
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: passed away on Thursday. And I know he had a

96
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: huge um influence on me just in terms of how

97
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: much I loved reading him, and I know it's the

98
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: same for you. Yeah. I've been asked by other podcast hosts,

99
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: how would you want people to see your writing or

100
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: how would you describe your writing? And I would want

101
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: people to think that he writes like a sportswriter who

102
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: has played sports and views it through that lens. And

103
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: Paul's Immerman to me, he started film watch, combining film

104
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: watching with sports writing in a way. It was the

105
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: first analytics of football and that he wrote as a

106
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: guy who played in college. He played for Columbia and

107
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: then played in a semi pro league in the trenches

108
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: and really knew the game inside and out. But he

109
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 1: also knew how to tell a story. It wasn't just

110
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: often analytics don't tell a story, and often um writers

111
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: get too into the numbers and the stats and they

112
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: don't tell a story. Paul's Immerman was a storytelling Yeah,

113
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: he could write his ass off. And Sports Illustrated, where

114
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: he was for a long time, has a lot of

115
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: his Super Bowl game stories up, and he wrote a

116
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: lot of great features. But uh, if if you're into

117
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: reading about football, uh, the thinking Man's Guide to Football

118
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: by Paul Zimmerman or the New thinking Man's Guide is

119
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 1: the one I would get to me is like maybe

120
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: the seminal sort of tape watching where I've always thought,

121
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: how great would it be if a book like that

122
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 1: came out talking about the players of today? So go

123
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 1: check that out. Another great one is the last season

124
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 1: of We View Bank. I think it is kind of

125
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: a an underrated season in the life gem of an

126
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: old Jets team. So Paul Zimmerman, eighty six years old,

127
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,960

00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: as drag and when my son Jack he's he first

157
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: saw me, he didn't talk to me for the first

158
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: forty five minutes, completely terrified of me, until he calmed down. Um,

159
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: I did get into a little bit of trouble less

160
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: on Twitter, I'm curious. I feel like you might aligned

161
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: with me. I don't know. On this is that a tweeter?

162
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: I got too many eighteen year olds coming to get

163
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: you know, Halloween candy at my door. I feel like

164
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: you age out at a certain point and people came

165
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: down hard on me. He's like, oh, listen, if it's

166
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: better that they're getting candy than getting into troubles, like

167
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: that's the bar that we're setting for the teens. Now, hey,

168
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: hold on. I can't believe there was any blowback whatsoever.

169
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,239
Speaker 1: On the ton of blowback I got kill. It's ridiculous.

170
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: This is a child's activity. I'm not surprised there was

171
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: blowback because you could put anything out there and you

172
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 1: get a bunch of people coming at you. But I

173
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: could not side with you more there there. Yeah, I'm

174
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 1: with you. Maybe they just maybe they were six fifteen, sixteen,

175
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 1: but they kind of look like eighteen. There is that

176
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: age do remember distinctly, the year where you realize you're

177
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 1: too old. It's the same you're kind of like, well,

178
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: I've already put it on. I'm getting that candy this

179
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: year next year. To me, that was that's like thirteen fourteen,

180
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: maybe Max, and then you gotta you gotta move on

181
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 1: when you're eighteen. I remember it, and maybe I look

182
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: back on it fonder than when I was in the moment.

183
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: But there's a lot of fun stuff to do when

184
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 1: you're eighteen. You gotta give up some certain things that

185
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: you get. Somebody came at me on Twitter and said, oh,

186
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: well you have you have to be aware though, because

187
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 1: you know, you never know, maybe they're developmentally disabled. And

188
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: I was like, what, I have empathy for those type

189
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: of people. But so that's Oregan, that's the bands of

190
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: mentally disabled people. So now I need to be nice

191
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: to everyone just in case they're developmentally disabled. And you know,

192
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: come on, Twitter is a grave society. Yes, we had

193
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: people over last night. We had a nice little time. Yeah, yeah,

194
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: we had a good time. You had the fun. We

195
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: don't have kids yet time, well, we had many children there.

196
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: Omar Louise and his wife came with their two kids,

197
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: and we had several other children there. Fun. And Ricky

198
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: Hollywood is barely alive right now. She's in that sweet spot.

199
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: She's in her mid twenties where Halloween is a major

200
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: party night. And you were probably tearing up West Hollywood,

201
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 1: as I can tell by your face and body, Yeah,

202
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: until the wee hours of this morning. So we're gonna

203
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: take it easy on you if we can. Yeah, thank you,

204
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: all right, We're gonna get through this. Today is uh Thursday,

205
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: you heard at the top of the show, West and

206
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: Greg explain the Raiders forty Niners game. Give that game

207
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 1: some context. I'm gonna had to explain it. So we're

208
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 1: gonna go through the rest of the week nine games. Now.

209
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: I don't think there's a week in the NFL that

210
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: has more buyers than there are this week. The Cards, Bengals, Colts, Jags, Giants,

211
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: and Eagles all open, which means that we have fewer

212
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: games to talk about, but we're gonna give them just

213
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: as much respect. I would say it may be more

214
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: big time games than any week of the season despite

215
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: the schedule. Sunday is gonna be fun because you can

216
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: really focus in a little bit more than you usually

217
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,319
Speaker 1: can when there's a ton of games to go through.

218
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: Clear out the garbage, Clear out the garbage, and let's start.

219
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: Let's get into it. One of my favorite rivalries in football,

220
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people agree, the Steelers and

221
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: the Ravens squaring off in Baltimore. Uh, the Steelers have

222
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: put it together three straight wins. They beat up on

223
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: the Brownies last week, prompting the Hugh Jackson firing, and

224
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: now they get the Ravens, who are in a little

225
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 1: bit of trouble all of a sudden four and four.

226
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: They've lost uh two straight mark uh. Is the season

227
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: slipping away for the Ravens. I mean, I don't know

228
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: how else you define it at this point. The way

229
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: that they played against the Panthers, you get to halftime

230
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 1: of that game in Baltimore looked totally shot to me,

231
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: and it was just uncharacteristic from the when they played

232
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,719
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh the first time. They shut down James Conner in

233
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: nineteen yards rushing the whole time. I think this is

234
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: a completely different Steelers team from when that was back

235
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 1: in Week four. The way that Pittsburgh beat Cleveland last

236
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: week expedited all those firings because they hammered them in

237
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: the second half in every way. They would remind you

238
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: of what a Pittsburgh team does well on offense. Connor

239
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: two twelve year cards, I know that. I know that

240
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: statistically that came on both the run in the past.

241
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: It was one of the most fascinating running back performances

242
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: that I've seen all year. I don't think he's going

243
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: to be controlled that way by the Ravens this time around.

244
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: And Baltimore's offense has some issues right now. They just

245
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: could not get it going. You mentioned it yesterday about

246
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco. This is this is Dan did this minor

247
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: little thing. And I know it's picked on, but Joe

248
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: Flacco when he's sent out wide and they ran the ball,

249
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: this is not a big deal. But just something about

250
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: his just standing there, like not a single person believed

251
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,559
Speaker 1: what was happening. When you are a football team and

252
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: there's one person that's not doing their job, you're that's

253
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: a disadvantage. Yeah, yeah, but I agree it's kind of

254
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 1: a bit. And didn't Lamar Jackson have probably a bigger

255
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 1: impact on that game than I thought? He didn't? They

256
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 1: They seem like they're willing to use him more and more.

257
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,719
Speaker 1: Flaco's job is to stay out of the way, and

258
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: at least it just annoyed me. I think, like I said,

259
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: out of that gate, I don't think it's a huge

260
00:12:55,760 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 1: tactical issue, just it annoyed me just to Flack. Just

261
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,199
Speaker 1: maybe how about look a little more engaged? Are you

262
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: kind of like map Patricia to that reporter right now?

263
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: Sit up straight? Well, first of all, this show opens

264
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: with me looking like a terrible dad. Well everyone else,

265
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: that's just they're wonderful society. Man, We'll have a nice

266
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 1: time with you. I should not have answered that first

267
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: because I tried to go against the grain a little bit.

268
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: Then everyone else just gives me Pollyanna answers about joke.

269
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: I'm done. It's sticking with you a little bit. It

270
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 1: was a great, great night. It was a great night.

271
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: I think you guys are just wonderful. You are wonderful.

272
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: Six times kids addressed up. He seems thrilled with it.

273
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: That is the reason, because I was another thing. Why

274
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: is Halloween celebrated over the course of like three weeks now?

275
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 1: You know, because kids love it. It's too much. It's

276
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,719
Speaker 1: not special if it's happening five. You gotta be kidding me,

277
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 1: like I have any control over that. This back to

278
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,479
Speaker 1: the game. It's already one of the most intense rivalries

279
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,359
Speaker 1: in the league, and now you have a really desperate

280
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: Ravens team that knows it's better than it's four and

281
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: four record, knows this is a huge game, and then

282
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: they have a bye the week after that, so they're

283
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: putting everything into this game. You I hate the term

284
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: must win, but in terms of wanting to win the

285
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: a f C North I think this is a must win.

286
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: It's such a strange spot that the Ravens are in.

287
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: They are third in the NFL and point differential, it's

288
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: the Rams, it's the Chiefs, and it's the Ravens are next,

289
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: and yet they could be staring at five and four

290
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: and five. They would be one in three in the division.

291
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: If they lost this game, they'd be three losses behind Pittsburgh.

292
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: And they're playing the Steelers at the wrong time because

293
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: right now the Steelers defense is found some answers. They

294
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: are number one in the NFL and yards per play

295
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: alloud over the last three weeks, I mean, the number

296
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: one defense. I don't think they're they're that good, but

297
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: they're certainly playing more cohesive and they're tough tot score on.

298
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: And I think the Steeler's offensive line right now has

299
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: to be in mix for the very best in football.

300
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: This is the first time I can, maybe since early

301
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: in his career, that Ben Roethlisberger's teammates and that's the line,

302
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: that's his running game, it's his receivers are kind of

303
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: carrying him more than more than the other way around.

304
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: And back on the raven side, at least from a

305
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: production standpoint, Joe Flacco is producing kind of like last

306
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: year's Joe Flacco again in the last four weeks. They're

307
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: just not They're not gonna hang in the conference or

308
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: in the division unless he gets back to where he

309
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: was in the earlier part of the season. They need

310
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: Flacco to kind of come into his own, uh the

311
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: way he did. He's got to get that chip back

312
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: on the show. Can't be fluke. Hold on. The lights

313
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: just blanked in here, and now the TriCaster looks off.

314
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: Let me just call in just to make sure that

315
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: this is this a ghost coming. Seriously, it literally like

316
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: it's like the power just went out or something. Oh, Grot,

317
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: that's real, Grot. I fixed it. Oh you did? Yeah

318
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: what I hear. I feel like that was a manufactured crisis.

319
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: To allow her simply to act like that was message

320
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: to the shadowy league figures like, Hey, I'm not that hungover.

321
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: I'm still fixing things. You have disciplined me. You can't

322
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: discipline me. Uh, let's move on. I'll pick that game.

323
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: By the way, I like that game a lot. Iida

324
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: came very close to locking up the Steeler, So I'm

325
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: gonna go Pittsburgh Ravens there. I think they're the better

326
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: team and they're more desperate. I think the Ravens bounced

327
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: back in the big spot here. I would take the

328
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: Ravens all right. Let's move on to Chicago Bears. The

329
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: team of around the NFL got back on track last

330
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: week against the Jets, handled them rather easily after a

331
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: slow start. They now travel to Buffalo, so this is

332
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: a get right one to punch for the team of

333
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: at L. They get the Bills and Nathan Peterman almost impossibly,

334
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: Chris Wesley is back in Our Lives, Nathan Peterman back

335
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: in UM. This is still a test for the Bears

336
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: even with Nathan Peterman, because that defense, I mean, I

337
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: I love watching Matt Milano play. He's a fifth round

338
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,199
Speaker 1: pick from last year. He's he's now like almost a

339
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl level linebacker in the middle of that defense.

340
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: And the Bears have to get Jordan Howard in their

341
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 1: downhill running game on track. They've got a lot of

342
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: things going right for them. Mitchell Drabinsky, despite all the criticism,

343
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: has an identical passer rating and almost identical rushing numbers

344
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 1: to Cam Newton. He has almost identical stats to Jared

345
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: Goff's breakout year last year. I'm not saying he's playing

346
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: on that level, but he's probably being picked on a

347
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: little too much. This is a good team. He has

348
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 1: more touchdowns than Aaron Rodgers or Matthew Stafford through the year.

349
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: The one thing if you don't if you just skipped

350
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 1: Monday Night Football, which I've came very close to doing,

351
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: but we were required to comment on it during the

352
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 1: Twitter Show, So I watched the defense version on Tuesday.

353
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: But the final score does not tell the story of

354
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 1: the fact that that game was nine to six without

355
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes to go because of Buffalo's defense. Yeah, it's

356
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: it's a tough matchup. I do want to see progress

357
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 1: from Robinsky. Does show the limitations I think of of

358
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: those statistics. Now, I don't necessarily buy into PFF has

359
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: Drabinsky as the lowest rated just passer, not at quarterback,

360
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: but just in terms of passing by far in the NFL,

361
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: and I and I think there's something to that too.

362
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 1: I probably have it somewhere between somewhere, but versus anyone

363
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: on Buffalo, versus anyone that qualifies, and Tom Brady's probably

364
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: right behind him. He he has missed far more open throws.

365
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: He's also had far more dropped interceptions fumbles that his

366
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: team has recovered. So he's had a lot of lot,

367
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: a lot of luck. And I do want this team

368
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 1: to kind of be a real playoff contender and make

369
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: some noise. And I do think Trabisky is gonna have

370
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,239
Speaker 1: to play better than he has, so I want to

371
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: this is a good game to test him. I think

372
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: in Buffalo they've got to be careful because I know

373
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 1: it sounds crazy. They're probably gonna go in and modown Buffalo.

374
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,640
Speaker 1: But it has trap game feel because you can look

375
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: past this if you want to, and realize that you

376
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: have the Lions twice and the Vikings over the next

377
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 1: three weeks and that's where the Bears can make major

378
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 1: ground up in this division. And Buffalo, like they asked

379
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 1: the Vikings, they with their defense generated so much chaos

380
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 1: for that Vikings team that the result was totally unexplainable.

381
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: As where Tarrell Prior takes over the team leadership wise,

382
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy's a leader. The guy's a born leader.

383
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 1: Everywhere he goes. I like this new Uh, this is

384
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: a new thing. He never this. This is a story

385
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: with Tarrell Prior. I don't know if anybody's aware of this,

386
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: because we did talk about it on YouTube recently, but

387
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: not here Troll Prior. People say, oh, what's what's up

388
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 1: with Troll Prior? Is he some type of menace? In no, no, no, no,

389
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,959
Speaker 1: it's the other way around. Everywhere Tarrell Prior has went

390
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,679
Speaker 1: in his career, he's left that locker room a better place,

391
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: a better place for his absence. I made. I made

392
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:45,919
Speaker 1: the comparison. It's Patrick Swayzie and Roadhouse. He's the cleaner.

393
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: He comes in, he finds out what's wrong. You know,

394
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 1: guys are stealing from the bar. You know, uh, I

395
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: was dealing drugs in the bathroom. People are showing up

396
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: to work late, people are drinking on the job. He

397
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 1: gets rid of all these type of issues. And then

398
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 1: once the bars doing well again, once the locker rooms

399
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 1: doing well again, Troll Prior goes on to the next place.

400
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: So I mean the Jets probably had less locker room

401
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 1: issues because they only needed in there for five weeks

402
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 1: or so and then they were were good, perfect, perfect

403
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 1: locker room Oakland, Washington Jets and now Buffalo You watch, Okay,

404
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: what else? What else about this game? Oh? Tree Cone

405
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: needs a touch of ball more. By the way, come on,

406
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 1: six touches. That guy is a special part of this offense.

407
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: Had a hundred plus yards in three of the last

408
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 1: four games. I'm saying, why is he only getting then

409
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 1: you can untouchdown um Bills have scored six or fewer

410
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: points in four games this season. I mean, Chicago just

411
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: needs to go do their job on offense. Matt Barkley.

412
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 1: We we could see more Matt Barkley by the end

413
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: of the season. That's how bad things about seen by

414
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: the end of this game. Let's move on the Tampa

415
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers. They are starting Ryan Fitzpatrick at quarterback. Jamis

416
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: Winston to the best. A tough challenge for fits Magic

417
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: because he's going now to Carolina. He's gonna play the Panthers,

418
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 1: who looked really good, had that amazing fourth quarter comeback

419
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 1: to beat the Eagles, and that spanked the Ravens, really

420
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 1: humbled that team. Uh So, Greg, here we are Cam

421
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:19,719
Speaker 1: Newton and Christian McCaffrey versus the Buccaneers last ranked scoring defense.

422
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: What do you think about this game? I want to

423
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: see the Panthers continue to build their offense. It it

424
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: has a cohesive feel where it's like you're adding elements

425
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: to it throughout the season. In DJ Moore's you know,

426
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 1: the most important element to me that he if he

427
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: can play anywhere near the level that he didn't be

428
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: make an impact near the level that he did last

429
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,199
Speaker 1: week on a week to week basis, they're gonna be

430
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 1: tough to deal with. I mean, this is this is

431
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 1: the first time I went back and looked at Their

432
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: offense is ranked higher in efficiency than their defense since

433
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,719
Speaker 1: two thousand twelve. They're the number five offense and efficiency

434
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: by by Football Outsider seventeen on defense, and they have

435
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,959
Speaker 1: room to play a lot better on defense. Is a

436
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,880
Speaker 1: tough matchup for the book. Doesn't feel like the week

437
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 1: that d J. Moore would step back into the shadows

438
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,959
Speaker 1: against this Bucks defense. I mean he he had had

439
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:03,640
Speaker 1: a game a couple of weeks back where he really

440
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: hurt them with turnovers, and he had they pitched to

441
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: him in this game and he dropped it and it

442
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 1: took a nice bounce. But then you saw his speed

443
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,679
Speaker 1: because he went right up the sideline and he can

444
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 1: hurt you in so many different ways. Yeah, he reminds

445
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:16,959
Speaker 1: me a lot of Percy Harvin and we saw that

446
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 1: last week with the chunk plays. Um, I don't think

447
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 1: the Panthers, I mean there there are such a much

448
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: more physical and tougher team than the Bucks. But you

449
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: can't take this offense lightly. They average twenty five more

450
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 1: yards per game than the Rams, forty more yards per

451
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: game than the Chiefs, and they are loaded with weapons

452
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: and they pushed it. They pushed the ball, whether it

453
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: was Winston or Fitzpatrick. Those are that your two leaders

454
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: in the NFL this season in terms of average just

455
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: air yards per attempt. So they're trying to go down

456
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,239
Speaker 1: the field over and over. Right, Fitzpatrick's he playing for

457
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,239
Speaker 1: his job this week? Or do you think he has

458
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: a little bit of rope this time around? I think

459
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: he has wrote more than a week. I think he'd

460
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 1: have to fail spectacular spectacular literally, but I want to see,

461
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: like if he I mean, he was so accurate early

462
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: in the season, he was playing above his head. I

463
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,239
Speaker 1: think we can admit. So what kind of Fitzpatrick are

464
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,479
Speaker 1: we gonna see? Because he played outstanding last week too

465
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: when he came in. You mentioned Winston Gregg feeling like

466
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 1: maybe there's a lot in his head about what's gonna

467
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: happen with his career, What's gonna happen in the week

468
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 1: to week When I watch Fitzpat like Fitzpatrick right now,

469
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: and he when he makes a big play, he's not

470
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:25,400
Speaker 1: afraid to show total emotion and celebration, and he's it's contagious.

471
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,199
Speaker 1: It's like a late dude is just late career. He

472
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 1: knows he's not going to be going on for much longer.

473
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: He's totally at ease with himself, and I think that

474
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: makes all the difference at quarterback. That's like playing quarterback

475
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: the way Bruce arians coached. Yeah, it's it's well said.

476
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 1: He's always been and we've talked about this this year

477
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 1: because there's been a lot of these little pockets of

478
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 1: fits magic. He doesn't take it that seriously. It feels

479
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 1: like he he enjoys this a little bit from a

480
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 1: distance compared to other players, and he understands it's just

481
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: been a wild ride that he's been on and no

482
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 1: one expected and everything does surprises people. So he's just like, yeah,

483
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 1: I'm having fun. There's no pressure. He doesn't play with pressure.

484
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 1: Let's move on. Oh. The Kansas City Chiefs seven and

485
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 1: one roping on teams. Do you know the Chiefs Gentlemen

486
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 1: have only scored less than thirty points once this entire season.

487
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 1: They've lost once, and they scored forty in that game.

488
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 1: This is a scoring machine. And now it travels to

489
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: Cleveland to face Greg Williams and the Broonies. I don't

490
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: think they need that illustrious there. Speaking of Greg Williams,

491
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 1: a lot of people West included, Uh, what's up with

492
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: Greg Williams. He's he's not likable. He seems to be

493
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 1: somebody that tries to antagonize people on some level. Here's

494
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: what he had to say about it in his Wednesday pressor.

495
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:43,919
Speaker 1: I'm not looking for a whole lot of friends in

496
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,199
Speaker 1: life anymore. If I want a new friend, I'll buy

497
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 1: a labrador. Mark. It's a very coach coach esque type answer.

498
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: I don't know that I'm gonna buy my friend. I'm

499
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 1: not sure that labrador is even gonna like him. Dogs

500
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 1: have a good sense of people. So are you calling

501
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: that answer? Formula Just slightly less formulaic or more formulaic

502
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 1: than than My Halloween, which was delightful now that I

503
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: remembering more about it. It It was just by the way

504
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: listens to the show right, she does. She she knows everyone.

505
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:15,719
Speaker 1: At least she knows that I'm not going to come

506
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: in here like four hours of content a week. She's

507
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: diving into. She watches and listens to all. Listen up, Um,

508
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: Mark's right. You can't have too many Halloween parties. You

509
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,120
Speaker 1: can't send they can't put them in the costume over

510
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: and over again. Make the thirty one the special one

511
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: and give Mark a little bit of well she is

512
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 1: not She is not to be blamed here because she

513
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: she did nothing wrong in this equation. Why am I

514
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,679
Speaker 1: having this conversation? Said you were powerless, so I was

515
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: trying to help you. You said you couldn't know to

516
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: the Halloween machine. I think she would agree. We were

517
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 1: in cahoots thinking this is too much. It's just too much.

518
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 1: Here's one thing, this opinion that you have on Halloween.

519
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: It wasn't broken to her. Listen to this podcast exactly exactly.

520
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 1: I don't break family news on this show for the

521
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: most All. Right, now, I mentioned this game, they go

522
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 1: Greg Williams, He's taking over this Brown team. What can

523
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 1: you expect here? Mark? I think this is Look at

524
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 1: all that's happened in Cleveland the last week the most

525
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 1: disastrous situation because now you have the Chiefs coming into town.

526
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: Cleveland's defense has given up the second most big plays

527
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: in the NFL. John Dorsey essentially drafted both of these

528
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in this game. He built the Chiefs largely, not entirely,

529
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: and I know, without not without some mistakes, he's building

530
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: the Browns. This feels to me like when your old

531
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 1: girlfriend shows up at your house and you're you have

532
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: a new girlfriend and this old girlfriend shows up rapping

533
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: on the door and she's hammered, and she's determined to

534
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: create total chaos for you. And John Dorsey needs the Browns,

535
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: his new girlfriend essentially to step up and make it

536
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 1: clear that she's in charge and she's gonna make a

537
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: statement here. Good luck with that, Joan of Arc. It's

538
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: not happening. They're gonna get romped and it's gonna be

539
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:57,880
Speaker 1: a very ugly first chapter to this. And I don't

540
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: have hammered, but just I think got has her stuff together,

541
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 1: looking sharp, it's all locked down, and you show up

542
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: and yeah that the Browns are the mess right now? Yeah,

543
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 1: Well that's one way. I think there's the other type

544
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 1: of X that shows up with a whole lot of

545
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: saucenter and then she's just there to burn everything to

546
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:20,360
Speaker 1: the ground. Sounds though she was. She was, But there's

547
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: a reason that you moved on. Trust me, I hear you.

548
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: I feel personally attacked. This is hitting close to home.

549
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: Eric is like everything they're saying is my life. I mean,

550
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: it's amazing to think in three weeks the Browns went

551
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 1: from one of these stories in the NFL positive stories

552
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 1: to every other Brown season of the last second. I mean,

553
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: it happened so fast. But you know what, if they

554
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: could I'm not saying they're gonna beat the cheese, but

555
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 1: you're talking. I'm not saying it up but you know,

556
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 1: I'm definitely not. But they play well at home sometimes

557
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 1: and they might rally rally around that. They might be

558
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:58,880
Speaker 1: relieved as a team that he was finally off the door.

559
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:00,919
Speaker 1: I would not be shocked at all if they make

560
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: a game of this, I'll just put it that. Put

561
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 1: it that, and if they could somehow win, you save

562
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: your season and all of a sudden, all this negativity

563
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 1: goes away. Um. I know it's a long shot, but

564
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: I think the Browns are gonna be competitive this week.

565
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 1: I just got a bit of Assessler. Okay, I mean,

566
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: I I agree nobody should be shocked if the Browns

567
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: are competitive. They also shouldn't be shocked if it's twenty

568
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,399
Speaker 1: four and nothing after the first quarter. That Cleveland has

569
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,679
Speaker 1: some fatal flaws that are growing more fatal. I mean,

570
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 1: there is no way to grow more fatal than fatal,

571
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: but they're they're growing. There's more gore attached than with

572
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 1: the super fat like your left tackle is an absolute disaster.

573
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 1: D Ford could have a wild game in this year.

574
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: That Thomas by the way, Justin Houston's practicing again too,

575
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: mean it's yeah yeah. And and Greg Williams defense, which

576
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: got a lot of love, including in this room, and

577
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 1: has a lot of good players. It got him four

578
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 1: job off right, he said, It's gotten him that eleven

579
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: job offers for where he didn't have to interview two

580
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 1: coaching jobs in the NFL, which is the highest level

581
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: of professional football in the world. And Greg Williams has

582
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: one of those chairs. Checkmate, Greg Williams one. We believe,

583
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: we should believe everything he says. People bang him the

584
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 1: door for Greg WILLI I mean, yeah, he wanted to

585
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: go work under Hugh Jackson, take orders from him. For

586
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 1: what morebody knew he was getting canned. Not a bad

587
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: strategic move. More concerning Lee, he more or less admitted

588
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: he didn't want Freddie Kitchens to be his offensive coordinators.

589
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 1: He's really starting off. They just asked him about like

590
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 1: was that his decision and was he involved, and he

591
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: made it clear that he wasn't. In reading between the lines,

592
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: I think he wanted Todd Haley to be his offensive coordinator.

593
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 1: And something happened there in between the time that Hugh

594
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: Jackson and it's a mess, and then Kitchens was making

595
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 1: a joke to his credit today that like, you know,

596
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: he had to go get to all the job offers

597
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: that he's had. It's like sounds healthy. Mark one little

598
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: Browns trivia before he moved on. The last Browns coach

599
00:29:55,440 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 1: to win his first game, Uh, that would be Bud Parson. Correct, correct,

600
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: We're just like taking Patrick Mahomes for granted, by the way, now,

601
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: like he's like expanding the the possibilities of like the

602
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: entire position, and everyone's like, oh, of course he is,

603
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 1: he's he's he's incredible. I mean, Dan Cleveland lost like

604
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: twenty openers in a row, so I I quickly shot

605
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: back into the bunch of interim options there in the mix.

606
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: But here's a good mahomet He has more four touchdown

607
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: passing games this year in eight weeks than the Browns

608
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 1: quarterbacks have had in three twelve games since they since

609
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: they got a new team in Well, it's a different league,

610
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 1: but it's also that is a very Brown's esk. There's

611
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 1: something rooted in reality there too, Alright. Moving on, more

612
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 1: sad teams in the room. The New York Jets are

613
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: three and five and not looking good lately. Travel to

614
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: Miami to face the Dolphins, who have really come back

615
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: to earth after that three and oh start. They've lost

616
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 1: four or five. Uh. They got a couple extra days

617
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: off this time around because they played last Thursday and

618
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 1: got spanked. Uh. This defense has many, many many holes,

619
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 1: Chris Westling. But the Jets offense has many, many many holes.

620
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 1: It's the old movable object versus resistible force. And Matt Burke,

621
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: the Dolphins coordinator who threw a fit on the sidelines

622
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: last week, came out today Thursday and said our issues

623
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 1: are systemic. We have too many uncovered wide receivers. Um,

624
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make some tweets to the tweaks to the scheme,

625
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: but also players aren't playing to this scheme and starting

626
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: jobs are in jeopardy, so they're they're on notice this

627
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: week against a Jets offense which has been about as

628
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: dysfunctional is the Bill's offense the last couple of weeks. Yes,

629
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: there they had that um game who wasn't against the

630
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 1: Broncos where they went over three hundred yards as a team.

631
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: Isaiah Cowell went for over two hundred Since then, and

632
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: that's going back now this will be four weeks since

633
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: that game. They've averaged as a team two point two

634
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: yards per carry. So they're getting nothing out of their

635
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 1: running backs. Uh. We know about their issues with the

636
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:11,479
Speaker 1: wide receivers, so they get absolutely no a separation from

637
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 1: the cornerbacks. And over and over and over again. Uh.

638
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: Last week, the only positive for the Jets offense is

639
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: that Donald didn't throw an interception. But over and over

640
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: again he would roll her was right. He would look

641
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 1: around the field for somebody to be open. Nobody would

642
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 1: be open. He just throw it out of bounds. And

643
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: that's why his percentage completion percentages as bad as it

644
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 1: is as it is because in addition to the picks,

645
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: he's been throwing the ball away a lot because there's

646
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: just no one to throw to right now. Pardon me.

647
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: Wants this to be like a show me something Jets

648
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 1: kind of kind of game, but they're too banged up.

649
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 1: It's almost too much time. I really wanted to actually

650
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: lock up the Jets because I don't like I hate

651
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. Everybody knows it. I've got some good Jets news.

652
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 1: What he got. Deante Burnett, who caught passes from Sam

653
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: Donald in college, looked pretty good last week. They have

654
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: a rapport there. Chris herndon the tight end as a

655
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: touchdown in three straight games, and Tony Romo spent the

656
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: whole broadcast salivating over Sam Donald just absolutely loves him

657
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: and basically says, pay no attention to what's going on

658
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: right now. The intangible intangibles like poison, the pocket throwing

659
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: off of dirty platform where he doesn't have to set

660
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: his doesn't get a chance to set his feet, these

661
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: are things. Facial awareness, awareness, These are things that Sam

662
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 1: Donald is showing. And when the talent improves around him,

663
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 1: when the play cooler is there, you're gonna see all

664
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: this blossom and it really does make you feel good.

665
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 1: As a football fan when Tony speaks like that, because

666
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 1: it's like he's not saying that about Brock Osweiler when

667
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: he's throwing two yards on third and three. Like the

668
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: Dolphins last week offensively went back to kind of what

669
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: you would have expected from Oswelder, but DeVante Parker looked great,

670
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 1: Like I this is this is a coin flip game,

671
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: and wouldn't I thought you would maybe locked up. I

672
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: thought about the way that Dolphins defense has left, but

673
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 1: the Jets often Yeah, it's just it's I really did

674
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 1: want to lock up the Jets, but their offense has

675
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: been that bad where I can't. But I do think

676
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: the Jets will win. And not that I think the

677
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 1: Jets are gonna hang around, but they're well set up

678
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 1: to get to their by potentially still in the mix

679
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 1: because they got home Buffalo next week then thereby, so

680
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:10,800
Speaker 1: if they can win this game, just buying some type

681
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: of relevance uh to Thanksgiving would be great. As a

682
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: Jets fanis ure, which we haven't had in many years.

683
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: I will take the bullet from Dolphins fans this time

684
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: because this annoyed me when I read this, and it

685
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 1: in it you want to talk about systemic and issues

686
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,479
Speaker 1: that seemed to plague our thoughts about the Dolphins in general.

687
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,800
Speaker 1: They have started four and four through eight games, obviously

688
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 1: in six of their last nine seasons and made the

689
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 1: playoffs once. So these four these starts for Miami, it's

690
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: not just this year. It's like there's not a lot

691
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 1: of like organizational faith that they're gonna dig out and

692
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:42,879
Speaker 1: go on some big run. The one time they did

693
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: was two years ago and they were one and done

694
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 1: in the play right, and they're one and four in

695
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: their last five and Gaze, even if he is pretty

696
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 1: good doing what he can with the offensive pieces he has,

697
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 1: like this is the team that he's helped built, and

698
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 1: he's had no clue on how to fix the defense.

699
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: It's been pretty lousy despite spending a lot of money

700
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: on that side to the ball ever since he's been there.

701
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 1: Let's move on. The Detroit Lions are three and four UH,

702
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:08,919
Speaker 1: coming off a two score loss to the Seahawks at home.

703
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 1: It's a bad loss when you look at their schedule.

704
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: They got the Vikings now coming up UH, and the

705
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 1: Vikings are not going to be thrilled. They're not happy.

706
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: They can't be because they really um greg played poorly

707
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 1: on Sunday Night Football, right they did. I think this

708
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 1: is that they haven't changed that much throughout the course

709
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 1: of the season. I wasn't that impressed with how they

710
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 1: looked against the Jets for the most part. The problems

711
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,720
Speaker 1: that they have where they can't really protect Kirk Cousins,

712
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 1: their running game is erratic at best. Those those haven't

713
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: really changed. And so it's a matchup where Kirk Cousins

714
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: against hit all the time against a team that has

715
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 1: one of the worst pass rushers in the league in

716
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 1: the Lions. So it's like again, weakness on weakness, which

717
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 1: is gonna be worse. Vikings are banged up. I thought

718
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:54,399
Speaker 1: they look damn good in that game until the theme

719
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 1: of fumble and then everything just everything changed. I mean,

720
00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 1: that doesn't have to be the way it is. You're

721
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 1: allowed to not collapse when you have a turnover. So

722
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:02,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to give them too much credit.

723
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 1: And they're also going through some injury. Stephan Diggs has

724
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:08,439
Speaker 1: a rib issue this week, Xavier Rhodes and Anthony Barr

725
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 1: had been banged up. Dalvin Cooks so they're not as

726
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: strong as they could be. They they fall to four

727
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: or four and one if they lose I mean that

728
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: Lions Seahawks game. My one thought coming out of that,

729
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:19,839
Speaker 1: because the Lions has sort of done these things that

730
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: impress you, and then they dip back down. They just

731
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 1: got beaten by a better Seattle team. They just they

732
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 1: just are not the class of Sea. This isn't it's

733
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,359
Speaker 1: not another like last chance game. But if you win

734
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 1: this and you're the lines, it's like everyone in that

735
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: division might be four and four just about. The Bears

736
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 1: would probably be in first place after this. And but

737
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 1: if you lose it, you're you're losing touch with the

738
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 1: teams that just look better than you week after. I'll

739
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 1: go a little further than that, Greg and say they're

740
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 1: done if they lose this week, if they follow to

741
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: three and five and then they got at Chicago home

742
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 1: against Carolina Chicago, then the Rams, I just don't stretch.

743
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: I don't see how they come out of that with

744
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: at least two or three more losses. And then you

745
00:36:58,239 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 1: know you're staring down the barrel of eight and Nate,

746
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 1: if you're lucky, they have enough playmakers that you give

747
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 1: him a fighting chance in any game, you know, against

748
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:08,800
Speaker 1: a team like the Vikings Stafford for three weeks, not

749
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 1: last week, was playing as well as any quarterback in

750
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,799
Speaker 1: the league for about a three week stretch. You still

751
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: have Marvin Jones, you still have Gola Day and your

752
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 1: boy carry On Johnson, to me has a new weekly

753
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 1: feature which I appreciate, which is like the get off me,

754
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: carry on Johnson play of the week. I mean, he

755
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,959
Speaker 1: just that's what separates him. He slides and he makes

756
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 1: people missed, but he throws a defender down or two

757
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:32,359
Speaker 1: every week. He did it ta Kiko Alonso, basically took

758
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 1: his manhood. Alonso hasn't been the same since. And he

759
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,360
Speaker 1: did it to Justin Coleman, the slot cornerback of the

760
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 1: Seahawks last week. It was just like his arms are

761
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: flapping around when he's running. He's a fun guy to watch.

762
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 1: Give him a chance. The one we talked about it

763
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 1: in our awards mark last week, is there another MVP candidate.

764
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: And I know wide receivers never get the award. It

765
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:54,280
Speaker 1: has actually never happened since nineteen But if Adam Cleland

766
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:57,279
Speaker 1: now matches his first half production, he would go on

767
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 1: for eighteen fifty and twelve probably would have to be

768
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 1: in the discussion if that happened, I mean in terms

769
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,800
Speaker 1: of the not over one season, but over multiple seasons

770
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,479
Speaker 1: of one hundred yard streaks. I think he can tie

771
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 1: uh Megatron this week and then he'd still be two

772
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:14,879
Speaker 1: or three behind Michael Irvin. That happened over the course

773
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 1: of two years. But it's pretty improbable and crazy what

774
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,319
Speaker 1: he's doing. He's on pace to break Marvin Harrison's record.

775
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:23,240
Speaker 1: Did you say that? I thought it was like Michael

776
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 1: Irvin was in the conversation from what I read too,

777
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 1: for most receptions in a season. Right, I'm doing the hundred.

778
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:30,399
Speaker 1: There's that in the hundred yard consecutives as different guys.

779
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:32,919
Speaker 1: He's also on my mid season All Pro team along

780
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:37,360
Speaker 1: with DeAndre Hopkins. You know NFL dot com slash Wesley.

781
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 1: How did he sneak onto that list? Yeah? Wait, where's

782
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: your vanity? You didn't give you one? Well, last year

783
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 1: it was Matt Harmon and me tag team in this

784
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 1: project and it was NFL dot Com slash All Pro Teams.

785
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 1: It's still showing up his last year's list. That's that's

786
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 1: a major foul by this, I mean they could still

787
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 1: work one that. Direct all your complaints to Ali Bam Puri.

788
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: He will fix that. Who pulled off a very convincing

789
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:05,919
Speaker 1: Freddie Mercury at the Halloween costume event last night. Yeah,

790
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,359
Speaker 1: it's good for him. Moving on, I'm going to see

791
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 1: that movie tomorrow, actually, Bohemian Rhapsody in theaters nationwide maybe too. Also,

792
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 1: you want to go together. I am supposed to be

793
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 1: doing sort of a date thing nice the significant other,

794
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 1: so well, you're allowed to go. I mean, maybe we'll

795
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 1: be there at the same time. I'm gonna be one

796
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 1: row behind you as you want. Are you not? You're not?

797
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 1: You're not. Maybe we could maybe be there at the

798
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 1: same time. I don't because I'm not certain I'm going.

799
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,240
Speaker 1: That's my new favorite thing is Daddy has a little

800
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 1: pocket of time. I go to the movies enjoy myself there,

801
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 1: not in that way. I No one sounds great. Was

802
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: thinking about pee weee. The Atlanta Falcons are coming off

803
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 1: there bye week. They're three and four, but it's a

804
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 1: good three and four when you got two straight winds

805
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: going into your by and now you get the Washington

806
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 1: Redskins who are playing real well three straight winds. Mark

807
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: are the Redskins. Yes, they're five and two. They lead

808
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 1: the NFC East to you, are they a legitimate contender

809
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 1: though in the NFC leg in terms of hop scotching

810
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:20,280
Speaker 1: the Rams and the Saints and going to the super Bowl.

811
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 1: You know, But I would say this about the Redskins,

812
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:26,879
Speaker 1: that we've spent all season as most most anyone covering

813
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 1: football talking about the wrong Gruden, and that the Redskins

814
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 1: right now have a great record down the stretch of

815
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 1: who they face, They've got a pretty clear path to

816
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 1: win the division if they don't crumble. This when I

817
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:39,239
Speaker 1: go back and watch these games, this is one of

818
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,319
Speaker 1: my favorite teams to watch each week, maybe even my

819
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 1: second favorite team besides the one from Cleveland that totally

820
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 1: just turned into a gigantic, uh space fire from outer space.

821
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:50,840
Speaker 1: But I will say this, the defense I think is fantastic.

822
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 1: They're an old type of school team. I don't say

823
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 1: space fire. I don't know what losing just like a

824
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,880
Speaker 1: fire from outer space, Yeah I'm losing, or just get

825
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 1: space fire to fire in space coming from out You know,

826
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:05,399
Speaker 1: if you're writing, you edit, I would have taken that out.

827
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 1: But I'm just going on the fly here, you know,

828
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 1: I I almost wanted to lock up the Redskins in

829
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:13,439
Speaker 1: this game. But I don't quite trust them yet, looking

830
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:15,359
Speaker 1: at how they dealt with the Cults and how they

831
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:17,360
Speaker 1: dealt against the Saints that when they play some of

832
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 1: these offenses that can become explosive. The Redskins seemed to

833
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 1: score about twenty points a game, so it felt a

834
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:25,360
Speaker 1: little wrong. Just can't lock it up almost. This is

835
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 1: like last week I locked up four teams, went two

836
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 1: and two, very proud of that. This is your new bit.

837
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 1: As you're you've almost locked too. I almost locked up

838
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: the Redskins in this one too. I thought about the

839
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:36,799
Speaker 1: Skins as well here and it's not because I fear

840
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:38,880
Speaker 1: the Falcons in any way whatsoever. I think this is

841
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 1: the Redskins are gonna push the Falcons around in an

842
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:44,400
Speaker 1: outdoor game. Falcons are without both starting guards for the

843
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 1: season on offense, and they're two most important players on defense,

844
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 1: and the Redskins have a loaded defense. I've been hoping,

845
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: I guess that the Falcons would get back into the mix.

846
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:56,879
Speaker 1: I think this is a very winnable game. I think

847
00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: the the Redskins are not a legit cont ender really

848
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 1: in the NFC. There they are so much more physical

849
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 1: than they're a bet they're a better team, and but

850
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 1: they better quarterback by far is in Atlanta. The better

851
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,959
Speaker 1: offense is with Atlanta, and so I just give them

852
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 1: a chance. And I and I've said it a bunch

853
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:17,759
Speaker 1: this year, I give this coaching staff a chance that

854
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna start fixing or getting a little better on

855
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball, because their offense is

856
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 1: good enough to win games by themselves coming off the

857
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 1: after this game, like because they're coming off of a

858
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 1: bye week and they're playing a pretty lame offense. And

859
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: Thompson's not back, Chris Thompson's not back, Jamison Crowder is

860
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 1: not back. I mean this is this is a pretty

861
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 1: bad offense. Alex Smith doesn't use Jordan Read nearly enough.

862
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 1: The most dependable wide receiver by catch rate since in

863
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 1: the NFL is Jordan Read, and they Austin Hooper the

864
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 1: Falcons tight ends having a better year. I've I've heard

865
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 1: you say though, like that West that you know that

866
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:58,799
Speaker 1: the trade isn't for Alex Smith isn't looking too good

867
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 1: and that terrible, And I kind of think it's like,

868
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 1: what did we expect? I had higher expectations, But if

869
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 1: you just look at it, his numbers right now are

870
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 1: almost identical to his average numbers in Kansas City except

871
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:14,800
Speaker 1: for two thousand seventeen, almost identical. They'd haven't had Thompson,

872
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 1: they don't have Crowder. You know, they're winning games. It's

873
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:20,279
Speaker 1: like this is Alex Smith. Maybe my expectations too are

874
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 1: too high, but it's like they're getting perfect. It reminds

875
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 1: me of all those Chiefs teams. He's the reason I

876
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:28,840
Speaker 1: feel like they can't get over the hump against the

877
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,359
Speaker 1: rd team's dance mentioned in the NFC. He he did

878
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 1: get better, uh last year. Of course, maybe you've got

879
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 1: to give him a couple more weapons too. I don't

880
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:39,400
Speaker 1: think there's an overwhelming skill level with their skill players.

881
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:41,359
Speaker 1: There's not a lot of talent there. He's as good

882
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 1: as you can be by playing quarterback in a way

883
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:46,440
Speaker 1: where you only take what the defense gives you right,

884
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 1: never take, never, never gets intercepted, which is which is

885
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:51,560

Speaker 1: by our heated pool, then sample California cuisine with an

Speaker 1: international flavor at the Mosaic's intimate restaurant. Sound good to you,

00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:52,959
Speaker 1: one eight hundred four six three four four six six

922
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:56,680
Speaker 1: Dan back to you, alright. The Euston Texans have won

923
00:45:56,719 --> 00:46:00,400
Speaker 1: five straight after that UM three straight us is to

924
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 1: start the season. In fact, this is the second longest

925
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 1: winning streak after an old three start in the Super

926
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:07,240
Speaker 1: Bowl area. You gotta go back to the nineteen seventy

927
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 1: Gremon who won six straight. Uh and now they travel

928
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:14,319
Speaker 1: to Denver to face the Texans. You know, these are

929
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:18,799
Speaker 1: two teams West going in opposite directions because the Broncos

930
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 1: have lost five of six after they won their first

931
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 1: UH two games in a row. So this is a

932
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 1: big game for the Broncos going into their by I

933
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 1: imagine it's a big game for Vance Joseph, who's but

934
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 1: might be a little bit hot right now. They there's

935
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:33,319
Speaker 1: a lot of common DNA in this matchup. This is

936
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 1: the Gary Kubiak Bowl if it's not that the Marius

937
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:40,800
Speaker 1: Thomas bull Um h. I'm worried about the matchup for

938
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:45,400
Speaker 1: the Texans UH, specifically their offensive line against Von Miller

939
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 1: and Bradley Chubb, who's been coming on of late, coming

940
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 1: off the edge against those tackles. But also a more

941
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 1: intriguing matchup to me, the Broncos offensive line, which you

942
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 1: know gets very little credit and has been pointed as

943
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:00,719
Speaker 1: pretty poor and pass for tection, is one of the

944
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,760
Speaker 1: best run blocking units in the league. Philip Lindsay's averaging

945
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:06,000
Speaker 1: almost six yards per carrying. It's not just because Philip

946
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 1: Lindsay's elusive, it's because he's running through big holes against J. J. Watton,

947
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:14,240
Speaker 1: Jadevion Clowney, the best defensive run stopping duet at defensive

948
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:17,320
Speaker 1: end in the league. King has played pretty well the

949
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, not against the best, relative to

950
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 1: how he played early in the season, He's played fine.

951
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 1: If he played that well, if he played like he

952
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:26,959
Speaker 1: did the last two weeks all season, I think they'd

953
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 1: be happy. If it's not like he's kind of this

954
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:31,200
Speaker 1: season's kind of been a roller coaster, like his career

955
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 1: has been a roller coaster. If they could get him

956
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:35,839
Speaker 1: to be steady, they're actually not you know, they're kind

957
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:38,640
Speaker 1: of a fun watch because of what you pointed out

958
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:40,920
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the season, Cortland, Sutton, Philip Lindsay

959
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 1: and the young guys there coaster that I get. Am

960
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 1: I the only one annoyed by the fact that down

961
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:50,240
Speaker 1: in our newsomer anywhere, all I've heard about six thousand

962
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:56,240
Speaker 1: times is the Demerius Thomas revenge game. Is that how anyone?

963
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 1: I think It's just kind of an unusual circumstance that

964
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:02,799
Speaker 1: you would this high um, you know, this well known

965
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 1: wide receiver get traded and then four days later face

966
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 1: the team he played eleven years with. They did him

967
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 1: a favorite, put him on a playoff team talking about

968
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 1: being in the ring of fame. I mean, why would

969
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:17,480
Speaker 1: there be any revenge the circumstance of a thing. Revenge

970
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:19,640
Speaker 1: game has become more of a thing, and that the

971
00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 1: thing I'm interested in. It's like Ken the Watson Texans

972
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:25,319
Speaker 1: offense build on what we saw last week, because this

973
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 1: could be a really intriguing team in the a f C,

974
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:32,840
Speaker 1: but they really haven't done it offensively week after week.

975
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:35,400
Speaker 1: They got rid of the ball last week quickly, like

976
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:39,239
Speaker 1: it's starting to make a little more sense, and so

977
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:41,320
Speaker 1: if we can see it again in a road environment,

978
00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:48,000
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what to that point, mm hmm. I

979
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:50,960
Speaker 1: like the Texans. I feel like they're gonna be a

980
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 1: team that's gonna be around and I think there's no

981
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 1: fluke to what's going on with that offense last week,

982
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 1: even against a bad Miami team. I think they're gonna

983
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:01,640
Speaker 1: get better and better with the Shawn Watson and West.

984
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 1: You made good points, but it doesn't matter because the

985
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:07,279
Speaker 1: Texans are gonna win. And the Zeuser, who's locked up

986
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 1: four in a row, he's gonna make a five. Lock

987
00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:11,600
Speaker 1: it up. Houston Texans. Keep those tubs rolling right into

988
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:15,239
Speaker 1: the bye I really like this lock as somebody who

989
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:19,919
Speaker 1: doesn't want you to continue your winnings. I'm feeling good,

990
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 1: feeling good about these Houston Texans. Bring on the Broncos.

991
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 1: You kidding me with the Broncos clowns. Let's move on.

992
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:33,080
Speaker 1: Nothing personal, it just it just is what it is.

993
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 1: The Los Angeles Chargers are five and two, four game

994
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:40,000
Speaker 1: winning streak, feeling good about themselves coming out of a bye,

995
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 1: so they're rested up. They travel to Seattle to face

996
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 1: the Seahawks, uh, who just beat up on the lines

997
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 1: there four and three to second place teams in their

998
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:53,719
Speaker 1: respective divisions. Greg, which one of these teams do you

999
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:55,800
Speaker 1: like better? I feel like this is like the Greg

1000
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:58,960
Speaker 1: Bowl a little bit. I'll still take the Chargers, but

1001
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:02,239
Speaker 1: I'm not convinced they are better. But to your point,

1002
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:03,799
Speaker 1: you're right. I mean, look at the games this week.

1003
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 1: You can have your you know your Steelers Ravens, and

1004
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:09,319
Speaker 1: you know rams Saints are gonna be oh America's game

1005
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 1: of the week. At there's Packers Patriots, Like you can't

1006
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:16,800
Speaker 1: decide what's my game of the week. Fox, My America

1007
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:20,239
Speaker 1: starts at four oh five. I don't care if there's overtime.

1008
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:23,879
Speaker 1: Games in the early up. Catching that first ft, first

1009
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 1: snap in this game, I'm locking up that this is

1010
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 1: my favorite game of the week. I have no idea

1011
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 1: who's gonna what do you think the impact on these

1012
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:37,360
Speaker 1: on the Chargers slash Seahawks locker rooms to be if

1013
00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 1: they knew that this was the Greg Bull. It's a

1014
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:41,440
Speaker 1: lot of it with a lot of pressure, and it's

1015
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:44,479
Speaker 1: one of it's one of the best possible matchups. When

1016
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:47,919
Speaker 1: the Chargers offenses on the field, they have the number

1017
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 1: two passing offense right now. The Seahawks pass defense is

1018
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:53,480
Speaker 1: number three in the league according to Football Outsiders, and

1019
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:57,040
Speaker 1: all the guys are playing well, justin Coleman, Bradley McDougald,

1020
00:50:57,040 --> 00:50:59,760
Speaker 1: t Drich Thompson. I'm just looking forward to like seeing

1021
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:02,840
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers go for those bombs in Seattle, because you

1022
00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:04,440
Speaker 1: know he's gonna go for it, and that just has

1023
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:07,759
Speaker 1: not been how you beat the Seattle team. They I

1024
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 1: thought they missed Melvin Gordon and he's not practicing fully,

1025
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:16,879
Speaker 1: so I don't expect him to be. But they didn't

1026
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 1: do much scoring without misplays by the Titans cornerbacks in

1027
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:21,840
Speaker 1: that game, so I want to see if that offense

1028
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 1: is really at full strength and not a cold water

1029
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 1: move here by the Zeuser. But we still have to

1030
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:30,799
Speaker 1: see how the Chargers play against good teams five and

1031
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:33,040
Speaker 1: oh against all the sub five hundred teams on their schedule.

1032
00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:35,720
Speaker 1: They got beat down by the Chiefs and Rams allowed

1033
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:37,759
Speaker 1: the teams have There's no no shame in that. This

1034
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:41,400
Speaker 1: is a good Seahawks team. So this will be one

1035
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:42,920
Speaker 1: of the reasons I've thought the Seahawks might be a

1036
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:45,319
Speaker 1: playoff team despite a very tough schedule. They've only played

1037
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:48,000
Speaker 1: two games at home. I mean they they have. They

1038
00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:50,400
Speaker 1: have done very well on the road there one and

1039
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:52,279
Speaker 1: one at home this year with that close loss to

1040
00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:55,800
Speaker 1: the Rams. They are normally a very tough home team.

1041
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:58,239
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the Chargers are absolutely underdogs in

1042
00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:00,399
Speaker 1: this game, especially the way Russell Wilson in the last

1043
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:03,680
Speaker 1: three weeks. It's his numbers are outrageous. He has nine

1044
00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:07,399
Speaker 1: touchdowns in one interception, thrown only twenty passes a week

1045
00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:10,880
Speaker 1: like he's He's thrown for like twelve thirteen yards per attempt.

1046
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:13,960
Speaker 1: This is like Pete Carroll's dream right now. What is

1047
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:16,000
Speaker 1: happening with the Seahawks off? Could that because of the

1048
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:20,800
Speaker 1: presence of move tight end at Dixon. I mean probably

1049
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:25,480
Speaker 1: play last week. That's probably more than David Moore at Dickson.

1050
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:28,239
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on now. Now let's pick that

1051
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 1: and you want to pick it, pick it's I'm taking

1052
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:34,920
Speaker 1: the Seahawks at home. Yeah, at the clink. This was

1053
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:37,439
Speaker 1: my shy away game of the week, like number one

1054
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 1: game to stay away from in the locks. I'm taking

1055
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:44,800
Speaker 1: the Seahawks at home. This is the show me something

1056
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:46,960
Speaker 1: both for the Chargers. Go get it done. You haven't

1057
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:49,920
Speaker 1: made the playoffs since you've been talented the entire time

1058
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:59,800
Speaker 1: on the road. Absolutely, yes, yes, there's no repercussions. Triple

1059
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:03,360
Speaker 1: Triple G Bowl. Uh. He thinks that's America's game of

1060
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:06,200
Speaker 1: the week, But there's only one, and it's gonna be

1061
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:09,239
Speaker 1: in New Orleans at the super Dome where the Los

1062
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:14,040
Speaker 1: Angeles Rams. Halfway through the regular season, slate perfection eight

1063
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:17,600
Speaker 1: and oh they travel to face the Saints six and

1064
00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:22,600
Speaker 1: one and playing great. They of course got tore up

1065
00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:26,160
Speaker 1: by Ryan Fitzpatrick. How long ago does that feel? Almost

1066
00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:28,719
Speaker 1: a fifty burger dropped on him by Ryan Fitzpatrick. And

1067
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:31,600
Speaker 1: week week one they haven't lost since. So here are

1068
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:36,160
Speaker 1: two teams, uh Mark that really you can make a

1069
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:38,359
Speaker 1: case that these are definitely, definitely for one of them.

1070
00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:39,920
Speaker 1: This is the two best teams in the NFC going

1071
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:42,440
Speaker 1: head to head. This is what we like agree. I

1072
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:45,319
Speaker 1: can't help but wonder also if Sean Payton is just

1073
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:47,360
Speaker 1: a little because he seems like someone who might get

1074
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:49,960
Speaker 1: a little annoyed at things and hold onto stuff, maybe

1075
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:52,239
Speaker 1: just a little bit annoyed that he's being shoved into

1076
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:56,920
Speaker 1: the background by another Sean. It's all everyone's yeah, everyone

1077
00:53:56,960 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 1: authoring these sort of flowery thing pieces about Sean Nick.

1078
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:04,279
Speaker 1: And maybe at this point he's watching Sean McVeigh every week.

1079
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:07,399
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's saying that. I'm sure he's saying that,

1080
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:10,839
Speaker 1: but he's I think he's furious. I think I think

1081
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:13,080
Speaker 1: that we're gonna get in this game. And because we've

1082
00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:16,359
Speaker 1: been seeing Taysom Hill, for instance, someone like Taysom Hill

1083
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:18,799
Speaker 1: used in amazing ways, that we're going to get a

1084
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:22,759
Speaker 1: headline type play from Taysom Hill that either wins this

1085
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 1: game or does something that is so memorable because it's

1086
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:28,879
Speaker 1: with Sean Payton's way of taking the Shan bull back

1087
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:32,000
Speaker 1: and all the Shawn attention back onto him. I I

1088
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:34,680
Speaker 1: know the Rams have looked unbeatable, but I don't think

1089
00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:38,160
Speaker 1: that's the case comes Sunday night locking it up for

1090
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:41,920
Speaker 1: the Saints. I love the idea, great luck that Sean

1091
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:45,360
Speaker 1: Payton's massive ego is driving the game plan. That's definitely true.

1092
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:47,560
Speaker 1: By the way, I just feel that he might be

1093
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:51,440
Speaker 1: staring at the screen watching Sean McVeigh, but he's not

1094
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:53,920
Speaker 1: watching it like, oh, great, great play call. Oh I

1095
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:57,040
Speaker 1: love this and this analysis by the announcers throwing praise

1096
00:54:57,080 --> 00:54:59,760
Speaker 1: all over Sean McVeigh. He's like, I'm the real Sean,

1097
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 1: I'm the genius, I'm the look at my track record

1098
00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:05,160
Speaker 1: the last fifteen years in this league. You guys are

1099
00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 1: both feeling this. Huht I totally buy it. I almost

1100
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:11,960
Speaker 1: want but Mark Handle, I feel like I say this

1101
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:14,520
Speaker 1: every week that you go into New Orleans where they

1102
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:16,279
Speaker 1: play so much better at home, and I feel like

1103
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:18,279
Speaker 1: they're gonna unload on the Rams, and at the end

1104
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:19,960
Speaker 1: of the day, I will pick the Rams to win

1105
00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:22,760
Speaker 1: because I have that much faith in their coaching staff,

1106
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:25,480
Speaker 1: which isn't just Sean McVeigh. It's Bones, and it's Wade

1107
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 1: Phillips and it's Shane Waldron and this is now you

1108
00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:32,719
Speaker 1: sund like Sean McVeigh, I mean Sean Payton getting confused.

1109
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:35,600
Speaker 1: I love what I hear from their players too. They

1110
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:38,880
Speaker 1: are a smart team, they play cohesively, they are a

1111
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:42,480
Speaker 1: proud team. They're either, they're a physical team. I love

1112
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:44,239
Speaker 1: everything about what's going on with the Rams, and I

1113
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:48,880
Speaker 1: think they'll just find a way to win. They're gonna

1114
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:51,880
Speaker 1: try to have a tough time matching up with Alvin Kamara.

1115
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:55,080
Speaker 1: I mean every team does. Maybe it's Littleton. I don't

1116
00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:56,879
Speaker 1: really know. He was out of practice because he's sick

1117
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:59,600
Speaker 1: on Thursday. But it does not sound like Alvin Kamara

1118
00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:02,520
Speaker 1: is gonna miss this game. Marsha and Lattimore played a

1119
00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:05,760
Speaker 1: little better last week. He's been very quiet throughout the season,

1120
00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:08,840
Speaker 1: coming off that great rookie year. That's something to feel

1121
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:10,760
Speaker 1: better about. But I'm a little worried that they trade

1122
00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:13,040
Speaker 1: for Eli Apple and they just play him seventy snaps.

1123
00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:14,800
Speaker 1: It doesn't really look that guy. I mean, it was

1124
00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:17,040
Speaker 1: a tough matchup, but didn't really look that. He probably

1125
00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:20,200
Speaker 1: got kicked to the curb. Yeah that uh. I'm gonna

1126
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:21,959
Speaker 1: lock it up too though, because that was my plan before,

1127
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:25,799
Speaker 1: so I changed it you're locking up the Saints. I

1128
00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:27,920
Speaker 1: like that we can be on the same beam, the

1129
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:29,960
Speaker 1: same side, maybe go down the other end. I wanted

1130
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:33,200
Speaker 1: to switch, but it's too late. There's only two big

1131
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:39,759
Speaker 1: favorites left. I think, Wait, so the two people in

1132
00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:43,120
Speaker 1: this room locking up against the undefeated team. I just

1133
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:45,759
Speaker 1: don't see too many other opportunities for the race lose

1134
00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:48,000
Speaker 1: and go anything but undefeated. If this is their spot.

1135
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:51,239
Speaker 1: Where if the Saints when you talk about four great

1136
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 1: teams that are gonna beet in the NFC Championship in

1137
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:55,560
Speaker 1: AFC without much question, if the Saints can't handle it here,

1138
00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:58,319
Speaker 1: they're not gonna handle it. It's a coin flip game,

1139
00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:01,000
Speaker 1: but you'd much rather have it be you know, in

1140
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:04,560
Speaker 1: New Orleans you got a little you know, banged up.

1141
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:06,840
Speaker 1: We'll see if Cooper Cup is back. I mean, I

1142
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:08,600
Speaker 1: don't know if it's a coin flip game. While you

1143
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:11,160
Speaker 1: locking it, well, there are we have to choose coin

1144
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:15,640
Speaker 1: flip games, right league. You know, indoors, you picked a

1145
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:17,800
Speaker 1: coin flip game too. I thought that I don't feel

1146
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:20,440
Speaker 1: it's a coin flip game. I feel confidently about the

1147
00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:23,120
Speaker 1: Texans that even though some outsiders will say it's a

1148
00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:25,920
Speaker 1: coin flip. So do you you feel confidently about the Saints.

1149
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:29,360
Speaker 1: I'm kind of personally, I feel like I'm sort of

1150
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:33,160
Speaker 1: just swinging at this point. You gotta get you gotta

1151
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:36,920
Speaker 1: do something to get noticed. You know. Well, you've locked

1152
00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:41,160
Speaker 1: up four games last week, so you're doing all right.

1153
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:46,160
Speaker 1: Moving on prime time football, the Green Bay Packers three

1154
00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:52,040
Speaker 1: three and one. Aaron Rodgers practicing in full feeling good.

1155
00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:54,720
Speaker 1: That knee maybe not bothering him as much anymore. Well,

1156
00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:57,520
Speaker 1: he's got a challenge now he's going to Jillette because

1157
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:00,760
Speaker 1: the powers that be Operation Pink Pony said, Oh, it's

1158
00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:03,040
Speaker 1: been tough. We we haven't had the Patriots at home

1159
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:05,480
Speaker 1: in prime time in a while. Let's get them back

1160
00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:08,480
Speaker 1: in their building at night. So here we go. Aaron

1161
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:12,800
Speaker 1: Rodgers versus Tom Brady, too of the greatest quarterbacks of

1162
00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:15,560
Speaker 1: all time, at the height of their respective powers. Bill

1163
00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:18,640
Speaker 1: Belichick said this week, Aaron Rodgers is as good as

1164
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:20,760
Speaker 1: any quarterback he's ever faced. And of course he was

1165
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:22,960
Speaker 1: asked about Brady after that, and he said, took the

1166
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:26,760
Speaker 1: easy way out. Well, I've never had to face Tom Braid. Um,

1167
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:29,840
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is healthy. Their wide receivers are healthy, Aaron

1168
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:32,760
Speaker 1: Jones is rolling and needs to play more snaps, Jay

1169
00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:36,520
Speaker 1: Alexander is healthy, and Aaron Rodgers was asked what he

1170
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:38,960
Speaker 1: learned in the Rams game, and he said, if they

1171
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:40,720
Speaker 1: are the best the league has to offer, we're not

1172
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:43,600
Speaker 1: far off. And I totally believe that. I look at

1173
00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:46,640
Speaker 1: the personnel in these matchups and it leads me to

1174
00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:53,160
Speaker 1: lock up the Packers for the stronger team, and the

1175
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:56,120
Speaker 1: quarterback is playing much better than the other quarterback. I

1176
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:57,600
Speaker 1: love it was I love what. I love it. I

1177
00:58:57,640 --> 00:58:59,520
Speaker 1: love it. I love it. That's how you do it, West,

1178
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:01,680
Speaker 1: I love it. Come on, Greg, what are you gonna

1179
00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:05,160
Speaker 1: do about that? He's coming up? Can I switch it

1180
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:07,680
Speaker 1: to the Patriots or something? That what you're saying? That

1181
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:13,040
Speaker 1: what you want? Sure we got a lock off, we

1182
00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:22,440
Speaker 1: got oh look, oh all right, you got unders obviously,

1183
00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:26,440
Speaker 1: Well you just yeah, you just allowed me to switch

1184
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:29,040
Speaker 1: from like kind of a coin flip game to a

1185
00:59:29,080 --> 00:59:32,120
Speaker 1: reasonably heavy favor in the Patriots. So I don't know

1186
00:59:32,120 --> 00:59:34,040
Speaker 1: if that took many onions as they're done. Know what

1187
00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:37,600
Speaker 1: they're talking about, Greg, Packers have the stronger roster. The

1188
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:39,640
Speaker 1: one thing I'd be worried, not worried about is this

1189
00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:41,720
Speaker 1: about Mark? He was all happy to be locked in

1190
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:46,960
Speaker 1: with you, seem I will be rooting on the Saints

1191
00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:51,280
Speaker 1: and Mark's lock along with him at that. I'd be

1192
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:53,640
Speaker 1: lying if I said I wasn't worried about the disparity

1193
00:59:53,680 --> 00:59:57,800
Speaker 1: between Bill Belichick and Mike McCarthy. That's a problem. I'm

1194
00:59:57,800 --> 01:00:00,280
Speaker 1: always a little worried about bold Lock coming off of

1195
01:00:00,520 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 1: You know, when you're coming off of two kind of

1196
01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 1: headline games the week before, you take a lot out

1197
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:09,120
Speaker 1: of those two weeks, right, and the Patriots are coming

1198
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:11,280
Speaker 1: off kind of an ugly rock fight type of game.

1199
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:12,960
Speaker 1: I don't take much out of that was a division

1200
01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:14,400
Speaker 1: game on the road. It's a short week, which you

1201
01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:16,560
Speaker 1: don't like to see. Shack Mason might miss this game,

1202
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:18,800
Speaker 1: which is a big loss for them going up against

1203
01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:23,160
Speaker 1: Grons not practice. So those those are concerns your wide

1204
01:00:23,160 --> 01:00:25,920
Speaker 1: receiver as you're running back right. But on balance, the

1205
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:28,720
Speaker 1: Packers I want to see them do it week after

1206
01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:31,080
Speaker 1: week at the level that they played at in Los Angeles,

1207
01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:33,080
Speaker 1: because that's not really the Packers team that we've seen.

1208
01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:34,840
Speaker 1: It's they were in Rogers that we've seen. I think

1209
01:00:34,880 --> 01:00:37,440
Speaker 1: he is solidly number three. I got I got my

1210
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:40,400
Speaker 1: quarterback rankings up this week the mid season one to

1211
01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:43,240
Speaker 1: thirty two, and to me, it's Mahomes and Breezes are

1212
01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:47,080
Speaker 1: one and two for sure, and Rogers isn't too far

1213
01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:49,919
Speaker 1: off there for number three, and there's a pretty good

1214
01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:53,000
Speaker 1: gap after those three, and so he of course can

1215
01:00:53,040 --> 01:00:56,160
Speaker 1: shred the Patriots in any given week. Belichick also went

1216
01:00:56,200 --> 01:00:58,320
Speaker 1: out of his way to praise jeral Alexander. I mean

1217
01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:01,080
Speaker 1: he gushed over him and the way he played last week.

1218
01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:04,600
Speaker 1: Five passes defense, Like that's more than any Packers rookie

1219
01:01:04,640 --> 01:01:07,560
Speaker 1: going back, way way. Wait, one thing about Brady you mentioned,

1220
01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:09,960
Speaker 1: like when I watch him run, you know who, it

1221
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:14,960
Speaker 1: reminds him right now Bernie Kozar at the end. Bernie Kozar,

1222
01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:17,440
Speaker 1: like when he was playing and even in his prime,

1223
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:19,720
Speaker 1: was like a bit of a gangly runner. And Brady

1224
01:01:19,840 --> 01:01:23,400
Speaker 1: just has these giant shoes with the tape wrap around him,

1225
01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:25,360
Speaker 1: and he just as he looks like an old guy.

1226
01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:27,800
Speaker 1: He just looks like an old guy. EI are from

1227
01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:30,800
Speaker 1: another era. But the difference is Brady still moves really

1228
01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:34,280
Speaker 1: well in the pocket and most of when he takes

1229
01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:36,919
Speaker 1: off he just looks. It does not look pretty. It's

1230
01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:41,560
Speaker 1: not it's not good? Can I bumping? Can I can I?

1231
01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:45,400
Speaker 1: This is a sensitive topic because your boys, Greg and West,

1232
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:48,560
Speaker 1: I know you you think very highly of this player

1233
01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:50,760
Speaker 1: and Mark you do too, just as a football fan,

1234
01:01:51,080 --> 01:01:55,040
Speaker 1: are we and Erica as well as a major Patriots backer?

1235
01:01:55,400 --> 01:01:58,200
Speaker 1: Are we post Gronk? I know he's beat up right now.

1236
01:01:58,480 --> 01:02:01,120
Speaker 1: Can't judge is always gonna be hurt now or we

1237
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:04,280
Speaker 1: passed the r where he is that singular, dominant talent

1238
01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:06,480
Speaker 1: and there's just you just got to maybe expect a

1239
01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:08,680
Speaker 1: little bit less at this point in his career. Yes,

1240
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:11,360
Speaker 1: My answer to that would be I've heard Greg say

1241
01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:13,960
Speaker 1: yes to this question three times over the years, and

1242
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,640
Speaker 1: every time Gronk hasn't made your injury, Greg and a

1243
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:18,400
Speaker 1: lot of other people say, there's no way he's coming

1244
01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:21,160
Speaker 1: back strong because it's that major of an injury and

1245
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:23,120
Speaker 1: he's played at that high of a level, and every

1246
01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:27,160
Speaker 1: time he comes back better. But West eventually those injuries

1247
01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:30,520
Speaker 1: and I agree, I'm just not gonna him. Yeah, I'm

1248
01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:33,240
Speaker 1: just saying that you said to expect him to be

1249
01:02:33,320 --> 01:02:38,040
Speaker 1: at that dominant top shelf, and you've said that over

1250
01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:39,920
Speaker 1: the year. We're at We're at a pretty good sample

1251
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:42,400
Speaker 1: site here with half a season. So this half a season,

1252
01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:45,320
Speaker 1: he's not at that levet not that's a pretty significant

1253
01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:48,680
Speaker 1: portion where he's on the field and he's really good.

1254
01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:50,400
Speaker 1: He's still one of the best tight ends in the league.

1255
01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:54,440
Speaker 1: He's probably gonna get a a well. He hasn't for years,

1256
01:02:54,520 --> 01:02:56,600
Speaker 1: but it remains to be seen if that's purely a

1257
01:02:56,640 --> 01:02:59,600
Speaker 1: product of something temporary or permanent. The problem is, let's

1258
01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:01,520
Speaker 1: say you get some version of it for the rest

1259
01:03:01,560 --> 01:03:03,640
Speaker 1: of the year. I'm not convinced he comes back next year.

1260
01:03:04,080 --> 01:03:06,840
Speaker 1: And even this version is making unbelievable plays like that

1261
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:10,760
Speaker 1: when he's still the most valuable guy on the offense

1262
01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:14,360
Speaker 1: other than Brady, even at this level. So it's not

1263
01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:17,560
Speaker 1: and it's right, it's not even close. I mean, he's

1264
01:03:17,560 --> 01:03:19,640
Speaker 1: still That's not what I'm saying. I'm not saying that

1265
01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:21,360
Speaker 1: he's not the best tight end in the league anymore.

1266
01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:23,240
Speaker 1: I mean, Brady's not on my All Pro team. I'll

1267
01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:25,160
Speaker 1: tell you, Okay, yeah, I just because you take he

1268
01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:28,640
Speaker 1: made that great sideline catch, but hands he just seems

1269
01:03:28,840 --> 01:03:31,440
Speaker 1: he just seems older than his twenty nine years to meet.

1270
01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:34,040
Speaker 1: Right now, here's the thing. We compare him to Travis Kelsey,

1271
01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:36,880
Speaker 1: it's like Travis Kelsey is not a tight end in

1272
01:03:36,920 --> 01:03:39,360
Speaker 1: the way that Rob Gronkowski is a tight end. It's

1273
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:42,320
Speaker 1: not just that, hey, he blocks sometimes he's good at it.

1274
01:03:42,560 --> 01:03:45,840
Speaker 1: I mean he's in blocking thirty forty snaps a game

1275
01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:48,360
Speaker 1: sometimes and Kelsey is just not doing that. So he's

1276
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:52,360
Speaker 1: extremely valuable for that offense. But there's been a decline.

1277
01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:54,320
Speaker 1: There's been a decline for Brady. I mean, I'm surprised

1278
01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:57,560
Speaker 1: you haven't gradual right now. We're at the mid season

1279
01:03:57,560 --> 01:03:59,680
Speaker 1: I haven't about number ten in the mid season rankings.

1280
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:01,800
Speaker 1: That feel is about right, Like, if this is a decline,

1281
01:04:02,160 --> 01:04:04,200
Speaker 1: I'm fine with it because he's still playing at a

1282
01:04:04,280 --> 01:04:06,360
Speaker 1: very high level. But he hasn't had the timing down

1283
01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:08,440
Speaker 1: with this. Something looks a little off. He's missed a

1284
01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:10,120
Speaker 1: lot of throws this year, but that has to do

1285
01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:12,360
Speaker 1: with like they are so banged up. But there's something

1286
01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:14,720
Speaker 1: with Brady just looks a little like even him and

1287
01:04:14,880 --> 01:04:17,000
Speaker 1: Edelman have not been on the same page. So maybe

1288
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:19,000
Speaker 1: it's just they got to have the same lineup in

1289
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:21,640
Speaker 1: week after week. They've had a lot not much continuity.

1290
01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:24,520
Speaker 1: Could be coming from a point of weakness on this pick, Dan,

1291
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:27,560
Speaker 1: because the NFL needs the Packers to win this game.

1292
01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:30,880
Speaker 1: They they are on a haunted hay ride of a

1293
01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:34,080
Speaker 1: schedule right now that started with the Rams game, and

1294
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:36,840
Speaker 1: and at New England. You get a break with the

1295
01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:39,600
Speaker 1: Dolphins at home next week, then at Seattle at Minnesota,

1296
01:04:40,840 --> 01:04:43,760
Speaker 1: the Packers. Every time Aaron Rodgers healthy, they're in the playoffs.

1297
01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:46,280
Speaker 1: And we need to see that as a country, as

1298
01:04:46,360 --> 01:04:48,560
Speaker 1: a people who like to watch football, we want to

1299
01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:51,440
Speaker 1: see Aaron Rodgers to this game. I mean that that

1300
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:54,200
Speaker 1: is up there. Other than like Mark taking the Browns

1301
01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:58,160
Speaker 1: seventeen different times, that's maybe the biggest onion hanger that

1302
01:04:58,200 --> 01:05:02,480
Speaker 1: we've seen in that In this segment. Let's move on

1303
01:05:02,520 --> 01:05:06,120
Speaker 1: Monday Night football the Tennessee Tytoons. It was nice a

1304
01:05:06,160 --> 01:05:08,200
Speaker 1: week without the Titans. That was nice. That's over now

1305
01:05:08,240 --> 01:05:12,320
Speaker 1: though they're back in action. UH coming off three straight

1306
01:05:12,320 --> 01:05:16,840
Speaker 1: losses thirteen twelve to the Bills twenty one. Nothing to

1307
01:05:16,920 --> 01:05:19,920
Speaker 1: the Ravens who have promptly went in the tank at

1308
01:05:20,400 --> 01:05:23,880
Speaker 1: nineteen at Los Angeles against the Chargers. Now they're at

1309
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:28,560
Speaker 1: Dallas in London, excuse me, now they are at Alice.

1310
01:05:29,160 --> 01:05:32,480
Speaker 1: Uh also coming off of bye, so they got uh

1311
01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:37,840
Speaker 1: two teams that should be theoretically at a good health level. Greg,

1312
01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:40,120
Speaker 1: Which three and four team do you think it's a

1313
01:05:40,120 --> 01:05:43,120
Speaker 1: better chance of making the playoffs? The Cowboys because of

1314
01:05:43,160 --> 01:05:45,560
Speaker 1: the division they're in. I think their defense is the

1315
01:05:45,600 --> 01:05:47,560
Speaker 1: best unit on the field in this game. But you

1316
01:05:47,560 --> 01:05:50,400
Speaker 1: know the matchup I want to see. It's like Jason

1317
01:05:50,440 --> 01:05:54,840
Speaker 1: Garrett coming off of bye versus uh, Mike Rabel and

1318
01:05:54,880 --> 01:05:57,520
Speaker 1: the staff going up a bye. Who's who's got each other?

1319
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:01,520
Speaker 1: They both made changes of a rare both both teams

1320
01:06:01,520 --> 01:06:02,840
Speaker 1: are coming off and bye, and then they put you

1321
01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:04,920
Speaker 1: on Monday night. Yeah, I don't know what's up with that.

1322
01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:08,440
Speaker 1: Cowboys fired their online coach. The Titans brought back a fullback,

1323
01:06:08,520 --> 01:06:11,960
Speaker 1: Jostin Fowler, which I think signals their intention to try

1324
01:06:11,960 --> 01:06:13,760
Speaker 1: to get a running game started. They've been playing without

1325
01:06:13,760 --> 01:06:17,040
Speaker 1: a fullback. I think that's what The Cowboys also went

1326
01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:19,040
Speaker 1: out and got a wide receiver, and the Titans, who

1327
01:06:19,080 --> 01:06:21,120
Speaker 1: had some of the worst wide receiver play in the

1328
01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:24,120
Speaker 1: entire NFL, stood pat at that position. Mary Cooper right

1329
01:06:24,280 --> 01:06:26,880
Speaker 1: as West is alluding to, he's now a member of

1330
01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:29,520
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. This will be his debut game, So you're

1331
01:06:29,520 --> 01:06:32,840
Speaker 1: gonna see this is two teams they've combined for thirteen

1332
01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:35,840
Speaker 1: touchdown passes this season. Fourteen qbis in the league have

1333
01:06:35,960 --> 01:06:38,200
Speaker 1: more on their own. So two teams that have not

1334
01:06:38,240 --> 01:06:40,000
Speaker 1: been able to move the ball in the air, and

1335
01:06:40,040 --> 01:06:42,480
Speaker 1: the Cowboys did something about it, and the Titans said,

1336
01:06:42,480 --> 01:06:44,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna figure this out. And the five worst QB

1337
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:47,960
Speaker 1: ratings in the league include four rookies and Marcus Mariota.

1338
01:06:48,360 --> 01:06:51,640
Speaker 1: And he's looked like it played a little better, certainly

1339
01:06:51,680 --> 01:06:53,600
Speaker 1: in that game, you know, before the bye. He's had

1340
01:06:53,640 --> 01:06:56,520
Speaker 1: a couple of moments. It's been ugly. The thing with

1341
01:06:56,600 --> 01:06:59,280
Speaker 1: them trying to like established the run again, It's like

1342
01:06:59,320 --> 01:07:01,400
Speaker 1: no team has been trying to establish the run more.

1343
01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:03,560
Speaker 1: They're just terrible at this is taking that effort to

1344
01:07:03,600 --> 01:07:05,600
Speaker 1: the next left right. I mean, they're they're running on

1345
01:07:05,720 --> 01:07:08,760
Speaker 1: first and second down so much that it puts Marioda

1346
01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:11,280
Speaker 1: in a tough spot. His receivers have not helped him

1347
01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:13,400
Speaker 1: out in general. It's not a good receiver crew. There's

1348
01:07:13,400 --> 01:07:16,000
Speaker 1: been a lot of drops, it's it's a lot of everything.

1349
01:07:16,080 --> 01:07:18,400
Speaker 1: And he is he should be one of the best

1350
01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:22,600
Speaker 1: runners in the league, but he's just so indecisive that

1351
01:07:22,600 --> 01:07:25,000
Speaker 1: he just kind of stands there. It's not taking advantage

1352
01:07:25,040 --> 01:07:27,000
Speaker 1: of his mobility. I feel like the two teams in

1353
01:07:27,040 --> 01:07:29,120
Speaker 1: the South, the Titans and Jaguars that made the playoffs

1354
01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:32,160
Speaker 1: last year, are heading in the wrong direction. Well, the

1355
01:07:32,200 --> 01:07:35,000
Speaker 1: Texans and Cults are heading up and and the Titans,

1356
01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:37,480
Speaker 1: to me, just how can you look at like you mentioned,

1357
01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:40,640
Speaker 1: getting whipped by the Bills, the way they've lost some

1358
01:07:40,680 --> 01:07:42,800
Speaker 1: of these games. It's embarrassed. Here's the thing, though, that

1359
01:07:43,440 --> 01:07:47,520
Speaker 1: you know this is not gambling advice, No, no, but

1360
01:07:47,920 --> 01:07:51,160
Speaker 1: give that Let's calm down on making the Cowboys prohibited

1361
01:07:51,240 --> 01:07:54,040
Speaker 1: favorites against any team in the league. Just about right now,

1362
01:07:54,440 --> 01:07:57,080
Speaker 1: give me a break. All right, there you go. That's

1363
01:07:57,120 --> 01:07:59,040
