1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: The Around the NFL podcast.

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 2: He's talking to America right now and the world.

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 1: From the Chris Wesley podcast studio. It's Around the NFL.

4
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: I'm Dan Hanss, Greg Rosenthal, Mark Sessler heroes both are

5
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: here as well, and it is the week for preview

6
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: Proper Draft edition. We previewed primetime in England game on

7
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: the Wednesday show, including Chief Jets SNF. There is a

8
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: report and thank you to Andrew Ceciliano for sending this

9
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 1: along to me that this is from Mark Burns on

10
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: x get in. Price for Chiefs Jets jumped forty three

11
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: percent from eighty three dollars to one nineteen on the

12
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: secondary market after it was reported that Taylor Swift would

13
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: likely attend. Whoa.

14
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 3: I mean, we just had a you know, before the show.

15
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 3: We don't just roll in here and start the show

16
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 3: in two minutes. There's a lot of pre showed chatter

17
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 3: and we were debating the whole tailors thing, which I

18
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 3: think probably annoys some of our hardcore like football fans,

19
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 3: but it is of interest to us.

20
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: That's okay, But what does that have to I don't

21
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: know you're supposed to That was like.

22
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 4: A big salteam cracker with nothing on it. Give me

23
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 4: a little what I just said. What's your point.

24
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 3: I think it's I think it's having a because I

25
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 3: think it's like it is quietly a massive NFL story,

26
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,559
Speaker 3: because we talked about yesterday that Jersey sales for Travis

27
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 3: Kelcey have blown up, and that means it's people that

28
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 3: didn't care about Travis kelce a week ago, now they do.

29
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 3: And it's bringing like this new fan piece of the

30
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 3: pie into the NFL world, and.

31
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 4: So the NFL loves it.

32
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: Here's my prediction. Let's take out like Week one or whatever.

33
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: But actually there's Sunday Night football is never Week one.

34
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 3: But how about that.

35
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: I think this this game and I don't really need

36
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: to see that game get too many extra eyeballs on it,

37
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: because it's gonna be don't look up, gonna do the

38
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: biggest number of the year. It's because all the swifties

39
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: are gonna tune in, especially the beginning of the telecast

40
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: monster number, and you're gonna have Richard Deitsch and all

41
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: the other media people, marshand our buddy from the Post.

42
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: Everybody's gonna be talking about that, and that maybe will

43
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: deflect some of the actual agony. Connected to the football game.

44
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: How many total lock it up? That's my prediction.

45
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 3: How many total minutes of Taylor Swift do you get

46
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 3: airtime on the show. It's not you know, you can't.

47
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 3: No one's gonna be satisfied all these people with you know,

48
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 3: eighty seconds of cut away the entire time. It's gonna

49
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 3: have to be minutes on minutes.

50
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: They're gonna have her in a secondary box because it's

51
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: gonna be a thirty five point game by third quarter, right.

52
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 5: I mean, there's any two American men who can handle

53
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 5: this with like the coolest of ways. It's Mike Turico

54
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 5: and Chris Coms just be seamless.

55
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: I don't know there she might be a little too

56
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: mainstream for them. You know, I could picture Trico and

57
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: Collinsworth and like CBGB's in seventy eight. You know those

58
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 1: guys are punks, all right, So.

59
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 3: Collins where it's like a camper van Beethoven.

60
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: Finn't I don't get the rep I went deep.

61
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 4: You'll go check it out.

62
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: I will. Today we're going to go through all of

63
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: the Sunday games, not like I said, and on primetime

64
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: we do a draft style. Greg will have the first pick, which,

65
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: by the way, is the number one pick of the

66
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: week presented by Draft Kings. And this is the and

67
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: it just worked out for old Gregy. It did, Oh, Greg,

68
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: last step in the poop? You know, why do they

69
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: say that you step in the poop? But it's good luck?

70
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: Isn't that like a thing.

71
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 4: I would prefer not? That's bad luck?

72
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: And I think it means that something good is going

73
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: to happen you. Or maybe that's when a bird relieves

74
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: itself on you. It doesn't matter. Greg's very lucky boy jargon.

75
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: So now he will take with the first overall pick.

76
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 5: The Miami Dolphins heading to the Buffalo Bills. Hello, Jim

77
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 5: Nance Tony Romo. It was pretty easy to take this

78
00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 5: first overall. I was excited.

79
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 4: Whenever that the Bills are two and a half point

80
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 4: favorites in this game. The total.

81
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 5: Is fifty three and a half, which you know and

82
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 5: carry the one that's sixteen and a half less than

83
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 5: the Dolphins scored by themselves last week. And I thought

84
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 5: about locking this game up for the Bills, getting bold

85
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 5: because I do think this can be a reminder for

86
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 5: everyone that Buffalo has because the Dolphins are the story

87
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,679
Speaker 5: of the NFL right now that we're a different Bills team.

88
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 5: We've been in a lot of big time games, and

89
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 5: they are different because they're a run first team. I

90
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 5: don't know about like they're going to have a high

91
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 5: run percentage, but they do have the highest two tight

92
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,559
Speaker 5: end percentage in the entire NFL.

93
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 4: That's down through three weeks.

94
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 5: Some of these numbers matter more to me, and they're

95
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 5: fourth in the NFL and explosive run rate. They've been

96
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 5: doing these long slow drives. It is a very different

97
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 5: Bills offense and it's going again a different Dolphins defense,

98
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 5: which has just been their twenty first in Dvoa. They

99
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 5: haven't been great, but what they do is give up long,

100
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 5: slow drives. So I do think offensively, the Bills are

101
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 5: more prepared this year than they have in past years

102
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 5: to slow down in offense like the Dolphins, and we

103
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 5: can get to that side of the ball, but they

104
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 5: can slow them down partly with these long, slow offensive drives.

105
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 5: And I really think I've been impressed by the way

106
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 5: Josh Allen's played in the way.

107
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 4: They've been running the ball.

108
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean James Cook, I think rather quietly second

109
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 3: among running backs in yardage to completely Christian McCaffrey, like

110
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 3: he's looked great three weeks in a row. That is

111
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 3: a new element to their offense. I mean it had

112
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 3: them last year, but it's like you're getting this version

113
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 3: of them. They're doing it with a lead to which

114
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 3: impresses me, Like I'm with you on the fact that

115
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 3: their offense if you get like the and I get

116
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 3: a little tired of this, like which version of Josh

117
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 3: Allen will you get? But to be honest, like he

118
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 3: kind of blew the game against the Jets, And it's

119
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 3: like if they get into a situation where Miami's offense

120
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 3: is using its speed against a Bill's defense that is

121
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 3: really stout even without von Miller, but not a super

122
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 3: fast defense. I mean, I know what defense is out

123
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 3: there that can deal with Miami speed.

124
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 4: And like there are these amazing.

125
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 3: Clips out there that show you know, you've got Raheem

126
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 3: Mostart running right up the center of the field and

127
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 3: like four or five Broncos players like looking like they're

128
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 3: asleep on the grass, like they're napping, like they're snoozing,

129
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 3: and it's like that's what they do, and they demoralize

130
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 3: Denver so quickly to bad defense this is a different

131
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 3: Bills defense that leads the NFL with nine takeaways twelve sacks.

132
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 3: Again without von Miller, Leonard Floyd's been really big for them.

133
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 3: And there was a question like Kenshawn McDermott head coach

134
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 3: and also call the defense adequately to great, and it's

135
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 3: been great so far. So it's at least the Dolphins

136
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 3: getting I think a real test this time after last

137
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 3: week's apocalypse for Denver.

138
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: So the Dolphins Week one out of their minds, Week

139
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: three out of their minds. The Bills are saying, well,

140
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: week two against the Patriots, they were efficient. They think

141
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: they had over four hundred yards, right.

142
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 5: GREGI yeah, but a couple unforced theirs and the driver

143
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 5: that the Patriots really weren't the ones that made him stop, right.

144
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: But it's the old Rocky fourth thing. The Russian's been cut.

145
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: He is a man, he bleeds, and it's not like

146
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: the Dolphins have rolled through all three weeks unstoppable. So

147
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: I think the Bills are looking at that. I think

148
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: you nailed that, Greg with your comment that the Bills

149
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: have to do what they can do, which is control

150
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: the pace of this game. The defense has to be opportunistic,

151
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: they just got to slow down this machine because you know,

152
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: Miami's playing obviously with a lot of confidence, and you

153
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: got to get too uncomfortable. That has been a big

154
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: part of this too, is just sitting back there, I think,

155
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: don think ding ding.

156
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 4: D How did you do it?

157
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 2: Though?

158
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,679
Speaker 4: It's so tough when he gets rid of the ball.

159
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: So fast, right, And that's part of it, And there

160
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: are ways to defend that. I would imagine, to kind

161
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: of clamp down on the receivers, but again, these aren't

162
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: normal receivers. As is wattleback this week. I think he's practiced. Yeah,

163
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: so that's going to be an added challenge. But the Bills, yeah,

164
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: they need to somehow find a way to disrupt the

165
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: flow of this Miami offense because we've seen it. We

166
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: saw it last year. This offense is not impervious. Like

167
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: if you knock them off their kilter and get them

168
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: kind of misaligned, they can struggle for even weeks at

169
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: a time. And I kind of like the Bills in

170
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: this spot. I think I respect the Dolphins what they've done,

171
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: but I think Buffalo is really course corrected well here

172
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: in these last two weeks. They're playing very well on

173
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: both sides of ball. I love the way Josh Allen

174
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: and Stefan Diggs are working together right now, and I

175
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:32,719
Speaker 1: think this is a bit I think this is the

176
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 1: Bills game. I think they're going to take a little

177
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: wind out of the sales of the Dolphins this week.

178
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 5: I feel like I'm always a little worried when we're

179
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 5: all on the same page, or maybe we're not all,

180
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 5: but Dan and I are on the same page here

181
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 5: because this is a different Dolphins offense. I'm really excited

182
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 5: to see how their run game moves forward. And to me,

183
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 5: that's the biggest change this year from last is how

184
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 5: in sync this running game is. And that's what Mike

185
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 5: McDaniel does well. But to me, the one stat that

186
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 5: explains more than anything else, if you just want to

187
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 5: understand why the Dolphins are who the Dolphins are, is

188
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 5: that Tua has the fastest time to throw in the

189
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 5: NFL and also has the highest air yards per attempt

190
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 5: in the NFL. That's just a math problem that kind

191
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 5: of breaks your brain, and it breaks defenses. He throws

192
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 5: at the quickest and he throws at the deepest, and

193
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 5: he's going against a defense on paper that is as

194
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 5: well set up to stop him as any defense in

195
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 5: the NFL, because they've been together for five or six years.

196
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 4: You got Mike Hyde who's playing great.

197
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 5: Poyer maybe not so much, but they've been together a

198
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 5: long time and they're designed to prevent big plays. And

199
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 5: we'll see if that can happen. Right now, Tua in

200
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 5: his passing EPA is the highest through three weeks since

201
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 5: Tom Brady's in two thousand and seven.

202
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 4: And that's the kind of offense this offense has been

203
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 4: so far. Yeah, it's just like.

204
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 3: It's absolutely working. And I would point to something. I

205
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 3: know we're in a different era than we were back

206
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 3: in the day, but Tyreek Hill has six one hundred

207
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 3: and fifty plus yard games in twenty appearances with the Dolphins.

208
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 3: Mark Clayton, Dolphins legend had eight, and I'm not astray

209
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 3: he had eight and one hundred and forty six and

210
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 3: that was with Dan Marino. So it's like that was

211
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 3: a high octane offensive.

212
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: Just put Dan Reno on this offense and see, you

213
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: know what would happen.

214
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 3: He had a quick release too. I mean like that

215
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 3: he avoided a lot of sacks. But it's like it's

216
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 3: like you, how do you? I I can see what

217
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 3: the Bills did to Sam Howell last week, and they've

218
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 3: been dominant two weeks in a row. But it's like,

219
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 3: I'm not sure anyone can do it to the Dolphins now.

220
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 5: I think they're even then fifty three seems low, like

221
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,599
Speaker 5: as the total like it for all, I'm saying that

222
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 5: it's a different Bills offense. He slowed the game down,

223
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 5: the defense is better. I still think you got to

224
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 5: win like twenty nine to twenty six. It's not gonna

225
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 5: be something where you keep them down.

226
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 3: Dolphins are one and eleven in Buffalo in their last

227
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 3: twelve games. It's like, but last year, even in that,

228
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 3: like in the playoff game, with a deep seated, distant

229
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 3: quarterback not your starter, they gave him battle.

230
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 4: Again either, Tompson almost took him out right.

231
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 1: The Bills weren't quite right by the end of last

232
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: season either. I mean, you had obviously the Hamlet situation.

233
00:10:58,120 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: You saw what happened the following week, and since an

234
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: I feel spot here. It is.

235
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 3: It's not a terrible spot, but it's like, I mean,

236
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 3: what the Dolphins said less than a week ago is historic.

237
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:09,839
Speaker 3: Like I'm not I'm not gonna kind of feel like

238
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 3: this ain't the Broncos, no more, it isn't. But come

239
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 3: show me that you can stop this team.

240
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,000

Speaker 4: But you guys aren't allowed to watch this at all? Oh,

247
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 4: we just me. Yeah.

248
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: Actually it's super annoying because I was trying to maneuver that,

249
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: like how do I do it? But this damn NFL

250
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: schedules drive me nuts this year so far, we have

251
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: another Sunday where there's only three late games nine, so

252
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 1: we're getting pelted here where we have to all split

253
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: those games up, so there's no way to really keep

254
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: an eye on that game, which is a damn shame.

255
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 1: And again, bully to you, Greg, you really stepped in it,

256
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: which I think means good luck.

257
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 4: It doesn't sound good, all right, big news.

258
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: Second, overall, pick, there's a trade, first time this season.

259
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 4: I'm always suspicious of these trades when I'm not involved.

260
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: Why should you? I actually was planning to maybe make

261
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: an offer to you for today. Wouldn't it like a

262
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: godfather offer? But I was like, you know what, No, I.

263
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 4: Would have thought about it because there is one intriguing

264
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 4: late game.

265
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: I know. After I heard what you said before the show,

266
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 1: I was like, damn, I should offer two number ones?

267
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 1: All right? So anyway, Dan sends the number two overall

268
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: pick today and the number four overall pick next week

269
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: to Mark Sessler, who sends me back today's number three

270
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: overall pick in next week's number two pick from Mark.

271
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 3: So like, So I got a text from Dan about this, Okay.

272
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 3: I didn't even look at the terms because it's like like,

273
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 3: you know.

274
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,199
Speaker 4: Mark got no premium whatsoever?

275
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: Oh Mark got a premium? Oh Mark PREVIOUM, what's your pick? Mark?

276
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 3: I guess I get. I do get to pick this game.

277
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 3: That is a what a what a treat? I'm going

278
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 3: to go Baltimore at Cleveland.

279
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: That's the premium.

280
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 4: Okay, Okay, I see they're like, you know that you

281
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 4: wouldn't have taken that. This isn't one week.

282
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 3: No, I don't think you would have.

283
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: I absolutely That's why I traded the pick. Okay, all right,

284
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: well there's no high value number three pick for me. Sorry,

285
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: I bully to me. I stepped in whatever it is

286
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: people are step in.

287
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 4: That's fair, that's fair. I like this game, Yeah, I

288
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 4: know you do.

289
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I kind of like it for for the Ravens

290
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:35,719
Speaker 3: reasons too. I watched them last week and that in

291
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 3: the Colts game, and like, uh, I don't know, We're

292
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 3: three weeks into the season and I am not totally

293
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 3: sold on this Ravens offense. I mean, I think you

294
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 3: got you got flashes of Lamar Jackson reminding you that

295
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 3: the fire is still there and burning, burning bright, that

296
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 3: there is these moments of excellence.

297
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: Well you heard the Lamarmie after week two, they just

298
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: go nuts as soon as Lamar has a big week. Yeah,

299
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: but I mean he's sandwich those that one big game

300
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: now with.

301
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 3: Kind of like, I'm not in the Lamarmie, like I

302
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 3: I'm not.

303
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: I'm not saying you are.

304
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 4: No, I'm more suspicious of anything else.

305
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: It was Okay, that was a direct shot right at

306
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: the bow of Rosenthal.

307
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 4: Yeah.

308
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 5: Week one, I don't know least I think he struggled

309
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 5: week one. Last week was there was a lot going on.

310
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 3: I'm seeing I'm seeing this like this, this offense making

311
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 3: mistakes a couple of games Lamar Jackson with some terrible

312
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 3: fumbles and ball control issues. I think also the way

313
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 3: that they crumbled on third and fourth down last week

314
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 3: in key situations where it was like, I get it,

315
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 3: it's a rookie receiver. I think Zave Flowers has a

316
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 3: great future, but there were some bad drops. Mark Andrews

317
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 3: has not really gotten he wasn't active Week one, but

318
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 3: he's not really gotten unhooked in this offense at this

319
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 3: point in general, just like do you really trust them

320
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 3: to go damage people? They had a lot of injuries.

321
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 3: I think if you if you want to say why

322
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 3: things can change, uh, Ronnie Stanley's practicing, Tyler Linderbaum's practicing.

323
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 4: They were down Williams six of eleven starters, right.

324
00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 3: So they've done what they've done. They've done what they've

325
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 3: done with injuries. I get that, but this is a

326
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 3: different Browns defense. And even Cleveland during Milk Toast seasons,

327
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 3: they've had at least one game against Baltimore where they

328
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 3: kind of like your division opponent, you know who they are,

329
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 3: and they showed they know who the Ravens were and

330
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 3: like this is a different attack. But I think Cleveland

331
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 3: what they're doing right now, and we've talked about it

332
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 3: a lot, it's kind of crazy. They've forced three and

333
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 3: outs on sixty one point five percent of opponent drives.

334
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 3: That's obviously the most in the NFL. They've allowed one

335
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 3: touchdown all season. They basically last week against Tennessee what

336
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 3: Tennessee accumulated in an entire game other teams do in

337
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 3: like two or three drives. It's like they just find

338
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 3: a way to shut them down. And we talked on

339
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 3: we talked yesterday about just the way that Miles Garrett

340
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 3: now has been unleashed by Jim Schwartz because you've got

341
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 3: Zadarius Smith and help around them. It's just dangerous. And

342
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 3: I really don't know how Baltimore deals with this. It's

343
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 3: like it's kind of like the reverse of dealing with

344
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 3: Miami's offense. It's like, show me that you can go

345
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 3: put it on Cleveland's defense. I don't know if this

346
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 3: version of where the Ravens are, maybe it's gonna take

347
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 3: them a couple more weeks or even a month plus

348
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 3: to kind of see what this offense is but I

349
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 3: just don't trust them to go four quarters and outmatch

350
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 3: the Browns.

351
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 5: I think the Browns should be pleased with the schedule makers.

352
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 5: They're catching the Ravens now sure, and like they could

353
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 5: be three and zero in their division. They probably should

354
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 5: have won that Steelers game. They didn't, but they could

355
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 5: be two and one in the division. It's not just

356
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 5: that the Ravens are forming and the and the Browns

357
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 5: are coming out like a house on fire.

358
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 4: It's the injury situation. Even if you get those two.

359
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 5: Offensive linemen back, Bateman's out of practice, obj Is out

360
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 5: of practice. They're the the linemen are coming back and

361
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 5: they're not one hundred percent. Dobbins got a concussion, so

362
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 5: you actually have three new injuries of starters not Dobbins,

363
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 5: Gus Edwards obviously replacing Dobbins. And the matchup of snaps.

364
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 5: This is always on my raider, this is my corner. Uh,

365
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 5: that Roqwan Smith and Clowney and that Ravens team were

366
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 5: on the field so long last week. Rokwan Smith played

367
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 5: eighty four snaps. Last week, Miles Garrett and the Browns

368
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 5: barely played. It was like a preseason game, thirty six

369
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 5: snaps for Miles Garrett. That's more than double that the

370
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 5: Ravens defense. And I'm not saying they're gonna come out tired.

371
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 5: I think the Ravens have a chance in this game.

372
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 5: But to me, the Browns are a little more fully

373
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 5: formed right now. And I'm a little surprised they're not

374
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 5: favored by more. What are they two and a half

375
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 5: point favorites in this game. That's not a lot of

376
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 5: respect for the early season.

377
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 1: It was actually, yeah, Baltimore's offense was weird against the Colts.

378
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: They scored a touchdown on the first drive, and then

379
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 1: after that fumble punt, fumble, punt, punt punt, they scored

380
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: a touchdown, field goal, punt punt miss field goal punt

381
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: downs and there was very rarely can you boil And

382
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 1: that was a very even back and forth game against

383
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: the Colts. And again shout out to the Colts who

384
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 1: are frisky.

385
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 4: Wheel are backup quarterback in.

386
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 1: There third and six at the indy forty four yard line,

387
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 1: seven o eight to play in overtime and Lamar has

388
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 1: a Flowers over the middle open I mean open open,

389
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,360
Speaker 1: and he completes that pass. Ravens win that game.

390
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 5: It was or if they call the PI on the

391
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 5: next play, which was even worse, wasn't it unless they punted.

392
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 5: I'm mixing up the the non p I CA on

393
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 5: the fourth down.

394
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 1: Yes, but that and that's how slim the margin of

395
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: error is. You know, you need your quarterback to hit

396
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: that throw because Justin Tucker is not missing once they're

397
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 1: inside the thirty there inside the forty, and so it's

398
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: not like they had some type of miserable game overall.

399
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 1: But the offense, yes, is inconsistent. And that's why I

400
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: agree that the Browns are playing with so much confidence

401
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: on defense and the way they're swarming right now Cleveland,

402
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,479
Speaker 1: that it's going to show me something, GREGI if Lamar

403
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: can get right on Sunday.

404
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, And this is, you know, to be fair, the

405
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 5: best offense the Browns have played. They've played three offenses

406
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,239
Speaker 5: in offensive lines in particular, that have been terrible. I mean,

407
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 5: the Bengals offense has kind of been a mess to

408
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 5: start the season, that the Steelers and the Titans. Now

409
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 5: the Browns have made all three of those teams look

410
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 5: worse by far than they have against any other teams.

411
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 5: But those are three really struggling offenses. This will be tougher.

412
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 5: I'm also curious how the Browns offense looks. You really

413
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 5: saw a transition away from the Nick Chubb offense last week.

414
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 5: I think it was pretty clear they're second in the

415
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 5: league and empty formations in terms of having you know,

416
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 5: no one in the backfield with him and just spread

417
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 5: it out. The fancy came out and he was just

418
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 5: throwing it all against wall. It was like, you know,

419
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 5: jet sweeps and trick plays and design runs for Watson

420
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 5: and empty and Watson kind of going through and avoiding sacks.

421
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 5: It was Watson's best game. Wasn't even a great game,

422
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 5: but it was a good enough games pretty good and

423
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 5: that's better.

424
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 4: That's better.

425
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, Shook said the same thing. Or I watched it

426
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I'm not saying this is Texans Watson,

427
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: but that was a big problem.

428
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 5: He made some nice throws, avoided sacks really well. I

429
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 5: think it's partly because he had one of the biggest

430
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 5: bloopers since Aaron Brooks. That was insane, you know, just

431
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 5: like that, that was that game. But you're right, other

432
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 5: than that, he was quite good. So I'm can I'm

433
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 5: watching that, like, let's see if that transition continues because

434
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 5: there was a lot less under center run game. The

435
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 5: run game stunk last week and it might struggle this

436
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:08,120
Speaker 5: week again.

437
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: By the way, Elijah Moore doesn't happen for the Browns,

438
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: it won't be for a lack of trying.

439
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, they are, they are.

440
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: I think one of his frustrations in New York was

441
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: that they weren't scheming ways to get on the ball.

442
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 1: The Browns are relentlessly scheming to get the ball, Elijah Moore.

443
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 1: It hasn't really resulted in much yet, but that's something

444
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on as to become more of

445
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 1: a passing offense going forward. All right, I guess now

446
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: that comes to me. And yeah, like I said, one

447
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: of the reasons I wanted to get out of that

448
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: spot was because I knew Mark wanted that game and

449
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 1: I wasn't in love with a third game. So but

450
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 1: I will take let's stay in the NFC East or

451
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 1: head to the NFC.

452
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 3: So you did it for my benefit.

453
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 4: I appreciate that.

454
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: Well, you know, I know the score here, that's a score.

455
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 5: He knows also that he didn't love that that I

456
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 5: like game and next week it might help him out.

457
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like that game. But I know somebody really

458
00:20:58,480 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 1: wanted that game.

459
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I guess I appreciate it. I mean I

460
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 3: do genuinely.

461
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:04,880
Speaker 1: Well, if you would have, if you would have turned

462
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: your nose up at the trade offer, I would have

463
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 1: had no choice.

464
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 4: I just think it.

465
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 3: How long did it take me? How long it took

466
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 3: me maybe point eight second to write sure? I didn't

467
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 3: even look at that.

468
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: I was hoping for a little gamesmanship, but there was

469
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 1: nothing I would have I would have given up last.

470
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 5: Mark's the guy you want to send offers to in fantasy.

471
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 5: It was just like, just like, depending on how he feels,

472
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 5: it's like it's too much trouble to turn it down.

473
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: I think it was within four seconds he wrote, Sure,

474
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: let's see I will yeah, take the Commanders at the Eagles.

475
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: Like the game, don't love it, don't actually after those

476
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 1: two games, don't love the sleep Yeah, but I want

477
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: to see Washington. It was the last game I watched

478
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 1: right before it came in today. And listen, it was bad.

479
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: The samhow was forcing things and and they got absolutely creamed. However,

480
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: I'll say this, I'll say this. I think you alluded

481
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: to it, Greg on maybe the Sunday Show, the Sunday

482
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 1: Night Show. This was a two score game in the

483
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,120
Speaker 1: fourth quarterer sixteen nothing, but it was a two score game.

484
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: And beyond that. In the they were in the red

485
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 1: zone twice. The Commanders in this game, like right on

486
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: the doorstep, and it ended once to turnover on downs

487
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: near the goal line and once at an interception. So

488
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 1: they were knocking on the doors against the Bill a

489
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: tough Bills defense, and things went to hell. And after

490
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 1: it was sixteen nothing in the fourth, there was an

491
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: immediate terrible fumble by Antonio Gibson that was led to

492
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 1: a touchdown and then a pick six and it's good night, nurse.

493
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 4: It's got like five of those a year. That's been

494
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 4: a problem.

495
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: Yeah. So as bad as that final score was for

496
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: the Commanders, I'm willing, especially with a young quarterback, to

497
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: give them a little bit of a mull again and say, Okay,

498
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: how are we gonna look next week? The only problem

499
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: here is the next opponent now is the Eagles, So

500
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a real measuring stick. Like we talked

501
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: about on Monday, I think it's been overblown Philadelphia's offensive

502
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: struggles early on. They've got tons of yardage. Still, the

503
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift looks like the comeback Player of the Year.

504
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: I would imagine he's eligible for that ridiculous award and

505
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 1: just wait, just wait until Jalen Hurts gets locked in

506
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: with the passing game a big test for young and

507
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: Sweaty and Deron Pain and everybody on that line to

508
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: cause havoc.

509
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 3: I like, so Howell, who's been sacked a league high

510
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 3: nineteen times, A lot of those are on him. It's

511
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 3: like that that's sort of his growth process here. I

512
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,159
Speaker 3: just see a team that, like you're right, like the

513
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 3: Bills didn't just walk away from that game like immediately,

514
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 3: but Washington just sort of handed it away, and like

515
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 3: Philadelphia can just take advantage of that. I think that Philadelphia,

516
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 3: Like I'm with you. I think that you saw aj

517
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 3: Brown heat up a little bit last week, and I

518
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,919
Speaker 3: just expect that Hurts is gonna whatever little kind of

519
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 3: slow starts of the season. He'll work his way out

520
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 3: of this. But they are a team that like systematically

521
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 3: is ripping off like thirteen plus play drives, Like I

522
00:23:58,359 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 3: think they lead the league in those or the tide

523
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 3: with the Rams for that at this point.

524
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 4: And you're kind of drives.

525
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 3: I love that because I think it kind of like

526
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 3: something's not totally working at its maximum. They just found

527
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 3: another way to run. And like Washington last week, one

528
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 3: of the reasons I like the Bills is because of

529
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 3: their ground game, and what they did last week was

530
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 3: one hundred and sixty eight yards on the ground and

531
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 3: Philadelphia is like four hundred and fifty plus in the

532
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 3: last two weeks. And we talked about swift, but it's like,

533
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,360
Speaker 3: I just don't see what the weakness is on Philadelphia

534
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 3: that a Washington strength can take advantage of. I just

535
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 3: I think it's sort of there are a bit sitting

536
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 3: ducks in this one.

537
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:36,400
Speaker 5: I wonder if the Eagle's secondary depth has been properly tested.

538
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 5: They've had multiple injuries in terms of their slot cornerback,

539
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 5: this at safety, maybe the linebackers. I do think Washington's

540
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 5: deep in terms of their passing take are they ready

541
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 5: to take advantage?

542
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 4: I don't know. Eight points seems too much for me.

543
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 5: I like me some commanders to either win this game

544
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 5: or to keep it close in a bounce back game,

545
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 5: because I do think this is the best defense Philly

546
00:24:59,520 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 5: has face.

547
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 4: I think schedules so important.

548
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 5: I believe early in the season that you got to

549
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 5: look at who these teams have played. And I think

550
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 5: Washington they were up for the fight last week. I

551
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 5: think they'll be up for the fight every week, and

552
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,679
Speaker 5: I think they'll make them compete. And I do think Okay,

553
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 5: this is a division game where these coaches have played

554
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 5: against each other and they the Washington's consistently created some

555
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 5: issues for Philadelphia. They beat them last year in that

556
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 5: game where they just held the ball forever. It was

557
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 5: Philly's first loss of the year. It's a division game,

558
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 5: and the offensive line for Philly it's far from an issue,

559
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 5: but it hasn't been as good protecting the pass this

560
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 5: year as previous years, like it's been good instead of excellent,

561
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 5: and Hurts has been good instead of excellent. So is

562
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 5: this a defense that could actually give them some trouble.

563
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 5: I'm convincing myself yes, and that'll be close.

564
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:48,199
Speaker 4: I would just say good.

565
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 3: One thing that's different from that Monday night game a

566
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 3: year ago where they did they Washington had the ball

567
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 3: for so much. The Eagles have had the ball for

568
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 3: eighty minutes over the last two games. And we talked

569
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 3: about snap count and who's rested and who who isn't

570
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 3: like the Eagles defense has really not had to be

571
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 3: on the field much.

572
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 5: And they're quietly better. That's one thing I think Eagles

573
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 5: fans have got to feel better. I actually think the

574
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 5: Eagles defense by you better this season so far.

575
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 1: Kiln Carter leads the Eagles we talked about on Wednesday

576
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: with fifteen QB pressures. Hassan Reddick and Brandon Graham neither

577
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 1: have a sack yet and just one QB hit each.

578
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 1: But listen, they have so much talent and they have

579
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 1: so much ability, and they're staying the offense is keeping

580
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: the defense off the field that these guys are just

581
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: warmed up. I would not be worried at all about

582
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 1: that either. And I think maybe AJ Brown's gonna finally

583
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: get you a touchdown here in a big spot.

584
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm not going to complain. Last week he

585
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 5: went what one for eight for one or something. I

586
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 5: see you, Aj, I believe blanking that one offense.

587
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: I believe you.

588
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 4: I believe in you. I do.

589
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:48,880
Speaker 5: I wish I took Devanta Adams or stuff. I think

590
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 5: I kind of do. Just got a little little too

591
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 5: much with my heart there.

592
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: I likes I like the Eagles here to keep rolling, but.

593
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 4: To cover well D eight.

594
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 7: A.

595
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 3: It may not be a lot though, sometimes you get to.

596
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 1: You get at Philly Philly, especially with Jalen Hurts, who

597
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,880
Speaker 1: is essentially unbeatable in the regular season. Here. Uh, they start,

598
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:13,640
Speaker 1: they they turn into a bit of a runaway train

599
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 1: at home. So yes, I think they're gonna they're gonna

600
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: take that wood. I'm with You're gonna chop it up,

601
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 1: throw it in the old furnace. Is that how it works?

602
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 4: Yeah?

603
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 3: You could, you could do that, sure, if you have

604
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 3: the kind of oven.

605
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: All right, should we keep going? Should we roll? Another game?

606
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: Another game up next?

607
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 4: Uh?

608
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 1: Mark, it's back to you unconventional this week because of

609
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 1: the huge trade in.

610
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 3: I think you've tricked me into having like six games

611
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 3: on Sunday.

612
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: I don't think so.

613
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 4: I think we have the same everything.

614
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: Everything else is all right.

615
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 3: Well, I told you pre show what I what I

616
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 3: really want toning out.

617
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 4: No, I'm not.

618
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,400
Speaker 3: I love this. Actually I am gonna take my late game.

619
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 3: If you're new to the show, we have to you know,

620
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 3: you got to kind of be strategic about how you

621
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 3: organize your day. Arizona at San Francisco. I think in

622
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 3: week one. I would have been like, this will be

623
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 3: a nice easy just to wipe out. I think this

624
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 3: is disrespectful, and tell me if you think I'm wrong.

625
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 3: Arizona is getting fourteen points in.

626
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: This I'm totally cool with that.

627
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 4: Oh so I.

628
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 3: Guess like it's come you have to come from the

629
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,199
Speaker 3: world of like I look at that Cowboys game and

630
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 3: it's kind of like an aberration from the norm. I

631
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 3: look at Arizona that has fought every team they played

632
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 3: this season, and that.

633
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 4: What's also looking at San Francisco it is and like

634
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 4: I think, like.

635
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:32,199
Speaker 3: I think San Francisco, like it's not totally wild to me.

636
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 3: It's just that, like it's a little disrespectful to a

637
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 3: team that just wiped out a Dallas team we're calling

638
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 3: a Super Bowl contender, and I think they are. And

639
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 3: it's just like, this is a well coached Cardinals team.

640
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 3: And if you went into the year thinking like the

641
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 3: tank thing is on whether or not the players and

642
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 3: coaches want it to be. Because Josh Dobbs just simply

643
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 3: cannot compete. He's fourth in the league and completion percentage,

644
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 3: he's making plays, I mean he uses his feet too.

645
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 3: James Connor is running as well as I've ever seen

646
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 3: him run. Their defense is disrupting people and made the

647
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 3: Cowboys look a little foolish at points last week. Can

648
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 3: you do that to San Francisco? I don't think so,

649
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 3: brock Purty, really, I think one thing you can talk

650
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 3: about with the Coyleege Shanahan offense is they've had thirty

651
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 3: plus points and seven eight of seven of his eight starts,

652
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 3: he's had open targets on sixty five to four point

653
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 3: four percent of his downfield throws by far, the highest

654
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 3: percentage among quarterbacks with fifty plus downfield throws since last season.

655
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 3: So it's like, this is the Shanahan offense. It works.

656
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 3: Deebo Samuel was a little banged up. That concerns me

657
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 3: to some degree, except they have so many different weapons

658
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 3: that this will be Arizona's real test. Does the floor

659
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 3: fall out here? I would just say I think no,

660
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 3: because I think that what they've done over three weeks

661
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 3: has shown an ability, especially on defense, to hang around.

662
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 3: They've hung around, and like what they did to Dallas

663
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 3: a week ago was not was not an aberration. I

664
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 3: think it was a sign of what they are under

665
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 3: Jonathan Gannon, who was an off season, Like everyone's snickering

666
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 3: at Jonathan Gannon for some of the like the clip

667
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 3: that came out about him and the way he kind

668
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 3: of spoke.

669
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 4: To the team. Yeah we are that summer Well.

670
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess we also did that. We did

671
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 3: that to Siriani and Philadelphia, and then we kind of

672
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 3: learned from that a little bit.

673
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 4: But it's like, no, athing, I mean, it's okay to

674
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 4: have some fun. We were.

675
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 5: I wasn't taking it so seriously that like this man

676
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 5: is doomed forever.

677
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,959
Speaker 3: No, but it's like it's another example of like some

678
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 3: of this, like like the way they speak to the

679
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 3: team is.

680
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: By the way, just for context, people, I don't know

681
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: the the origin of that drop. That was the new

682
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,479
Speaker 1: head coach that Cardinals going up to a wide receiver

683
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: for the first time, introducing himself and explaining all the

684
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: different routes he's going to run. And he was making.

685
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 4: I mean, that's that's funny. It's a little strange, as

686
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 4: my children would say, a little suss.

687
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 3: It's a little suss. But he's done it good, don't you?

688
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 3: Would you say he's would you give him a the

689
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 3: B plus?

690
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 1: If I get this is so Obsessler.

691
00:30:58,360 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 4: They are the team set right now?

692
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you like the team that sucks that

693
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: then kind of has a little heart and and that's cool.

694
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 3: I think most sports fans would be a sure, but.

695
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: You especially and if it's a small sample size, you

696
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: tend to maybe get carried away a little bit sometimes.

697
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 3: Well, all right, like putting it on the Cowboys is

698
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 3: not just this thing that isn't a zero important.

699
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 4: Now they've been consistent, They're they're.

700
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: Not roughing the Sessler.

701
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 4: I'm just saying this, You're not perfect. It's a perfect

702
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 4: Sessler story.

703
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 3: Well correct, But can I can I counter and say

704
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 3: that like a danism is to kind of dismiss what

705
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 3: they did the Cowboys because you believe in the Cowboys.

706
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: Yes, because I I agree. Like, for instance, I think

707
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 1: it is absolutely commendable the way Arizona has been in

708
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: every game, despite the fact that everyone said they were

709
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 1: gonna get blown out every week and maybe not win

710
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: the season. So that is that's that's definitely Flowers. I

711
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 1: do also think these things happen in the season. I

712
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: think Dallas was flat on the road three days after

713
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: one of their key players blew out his knee in

714
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 1: practice and I think they caught Dallas a little flat

715
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 1: footed and to their credit, took advantage of it. I

716
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: just think now going to San Francisco is a whole

717
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 1: other situation to help with the extra rest Niners team.

718
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: Brandon Ayuk, I imagine, is potentially back in the lineup here,

719
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: and I just think it's it's a great story. If

720
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: Arizona battles for four quarters against the Niners. I think

721
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: they're a pretty big story.

722
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,719
Speaker 3: If they ever nipped the Niners and I realized that

723
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 3: beat them out, that's from I said nipped. If that

724
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 3: was from outer space, I get that. The concept is

725
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 3: that they are one of the most shocking NFL stories

726
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 3: we've ever covered.

727
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: Well.

728
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 5: I think the thing about Arizona is everyone just has

729
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 5: to recognize how foolish. So much of what we accept

730
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 5: as wisdom going into a season is because just based

731
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 5: on football, they're pretty good. This year, they're actually tenth

732
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 5: in DVOA. They've been quite competitive every single week. I

733
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 5: don't think that's gonna last totally because of their talent,

734
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 5: but I think good coaching could get them to be

735
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 5: feisty all year and they could win five or six

736
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 5: games or what it turns out being like at this.

737
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 4: Point, every literally everyone was completely wrong.

738
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 5: We spent half the off season just saying like this

739
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 5: this team is a total abomination. They're not They're competitive

740
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 5: on defense, They're a pack of roaming dogs.

741
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 4: Sometimes.

742
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,959
Speaker 5: I mean, they were pretty creative. They spooked Dak last week.

743
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 5: There's some formations there where like what is happening. It's

744
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 5: just like seven guys kind of like walking around. I'm

745
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 5: making weird movements. Kaizier White, my guy I've always liked.

746
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 5: Kaizier White had like the game of his life last week.

747
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 5: It wasn't just the interception, Like they're getting guys to

748
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 5: play well, but this is a totally different animal.

749
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 4: I'm with you.

750
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: Fortunately, the Cowboys win was really impressive.

751
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 4: I think they'll be I don't know how good.

752
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 1: The Commanders are the Giants are at this point, but

753
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: I just need to see a little bit more of

754
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: before I get like swept up in this.

755
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 4: Here's the thing, and you're right, Mark, that's kind of

756
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 4: my thing.

757
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,239
Speaker 1: But I sometimes I hate at the beginning of an

758
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: NFL season where it's the three game sample size and

759
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 1: we get fired up about it and then by week

760
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 1: six it's completely on its ear and sometimes not. This

761
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: one to me smells Niners Bengals Rams. Next three weeks,

762
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: do I see a win and I don't, necessarily, then

763
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 1: there'll be one in five. But call me a hater,

764
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: I'm just no.

765
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 3: I think last week maybe told us as much about

766
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 3: the Cowboys as it did about the Cardinals.

767
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 5: I mean, I think the Cardinals are showing though that

768
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 5: they can compete with the middle of the NFL, so

769
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 5: I think they'll have a chance with with that and then,

770
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 5: but the middle of the NFL probably can't compete with

771
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 5: the forty nine ers most week. I liked how Kittle

772
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,359
Speaker 5: looked better last week. I just haven't seen a lot

773
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 5: of explosive Kittle in a while. It's been a quieter story.

774
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 4: Still.

775
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 1: That's right, guy, That's why he left the Superstar Club

776
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: too great, right to great criticism from outside sources outside

777
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: the building.

778
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 5: Really played well and you might have been pressing and

779
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 5: their front line. Look, the Cardinals offensive line has been

780
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 5: a huge part of their success this year. They're playing

781
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 5: well up front, and this will be a much tougher

782
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 5: test against a forty nine Ers team that looks better upfront.

783
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 5: They weren't getting any interior pressure last year. This year,

784
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 5: Hardgrave is balling out nice signing kin Laws look better

785
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 5: and arms that is healthy. Last year, you didn't have

786
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 5: any of those three guys essentially at one hundred percent

787
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 5: or playing well, and suddenly have three and that's a

788
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 5: lot to deal.

789
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 3: With, all right, mm hmm, I'm up gets a little

790
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 3: rugged at this point.

791
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna throw. I'm gonna give Greg a

792
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,240
Speaker 1: pass here because I would take.

793
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 5: Just take it, because now I'm because of the way

794
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 5: the thing works. I'm gonna have an extra game. I

795
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 5: don't care anymore because the late games I'm gonna be

796
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 5: watching double No.

797
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 1: I don't want much Mac Jones forget about that.

798
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 3: That's a struggle, a visual struggle.

799
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,720
Speaker 1: Uh all right, how about the team of Zeus til

800
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,879
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Cults. Let's grab them against the Rams at home.

801
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 1: I hope we got Anthony Richardson back in this game.

802
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 3: He did practice? Is you know it sounds like it's possible.

803
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:48,840
Speaker 3: Do you do you think he's well, I know you

804
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 3: like him, but like you think he's gonna give them

805
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 3: a better chance than Gardner Minshew.

806
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,240
Speaker 1: I don't think Minsche played very well last week, actually,

807
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 1: and I like Minshew as a backup. I wish he

808
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:00,120
Speaker 1: was my team's backup, but I don't I don't think

809
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 1: there shouldn't be any conversation about who should be at

810
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: this quarterback. I think richard'sn't proven in the time he's

811
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 1: been on the field that he's already going to be

812
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 1: a difference maker. He's just got to protect himself better

813
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 1: and get a little luckier. I saw, like I've seen

814
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff around Richardson saying you know, and

815
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 1: of course it started in week one when Trevor Lawrence

816
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: said to him after the game, Hey, you gotta protect yourself.

817
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 1: That's why this is a hard sport. Like we're watching

818
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 1: this right now, by the way, on free TV and YouTube.

819
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: Like that hit he takes where he suffers a concussion,

820
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,879
Speaker 1: it's like he was trying to protect himself. He gets

821
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 1: pushed right at the goal line as he's scoring a touchdown.

822
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 1: Tell me how to protect yourself right on that like

823
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: he was. Basically that was a borderline late hit that

824
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: led to his injury. So I hope I want to

825
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,319
Speaker 1: see Richardson play because he really has been as good

826
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:51,319
Speaker 1: as advertised and and he's a dynamic player and the

827
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:54,360
Speaker 1: cult in general. That performance a gets Baltimore one of

828
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 1: the great kicker performances that we've seen. Really like you

829
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 1: could say it's a bit with Dann kikers. No, I

830
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 1: love kickers, especially clutch kickers. And what Mackay did in

831
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 1: that game was outrageous with four. He hit from fifty

832
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 1: three to fifty three, fifty three and fifty four. And

833
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember who called the game. He had

834
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 1: a nice little call at the end. He goes he

835
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 1: mentioned the makes and said and he piped every single one.

836
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 4: That was Jay Feely because he was going wild.

837
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 1: Oh it was Pheey so j Peelly.

838
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 4: Dan annoyed that he gave Pheelly pop.

839
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 1: That is Pheelly the same guy that posted for the

840
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: prompt picture with his daughter and the date while holding

841
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,799
Speaker 1: a gun. Is that the same I'd been tracked up

842
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:37,760
Speaker 1: one in the same anyway, he piped every single one. Anyway,

843
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 1: So uh, this team I thought has been very fun

844
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 1: to watch. And the Rams, I think this is another

845
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 1: competitive game. I think Los Angeles is going to hang

846
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 1: a lot of in a lot of these games.

847
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 3: One thing I really love about what the what the

848
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 3: cults have done, because yes it's it's they're really well coached,

849
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 3: just like it's the other coordinator that came from Philadelphia, Stich,

850
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 3: and you can see his fingerprints all over it. But

851
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 3: part of it is like pieces that were there a

852
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 3: year ago to Boris Buckner and that defensive line have

853
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 3: caused problems in every one of these games. They did

854
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 3: it to the Ravens and last week the Rams Bengals

855
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 3: defense kept for one of eleven on third down, gave

856
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 3: Matt Stafford all sorts of problems. And I think this

857
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 3: is a matchup I don't like for the Rams in

858
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 3: terms of their offensive line versus Cults defensive line that

859
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 3: has wreaked a lot of havoc.

860
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 4: That's a it's a great point, Mark, great point.

861
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: Mark.

862
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 4: The Colts defense has been really impressive.

863
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 1: Roberts, we need it. I got to dig it up.

864
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 4: And that's a great point. Mark. You're right, the Coast

865
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 4: defense has gotten after.

866
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 1: Who was it?

867
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 4: Nobody knows who was that talking. It was, it's Jeremiah Well,

868
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:45,320
Speaker 4: that's a great point.

869
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 3: I don't think it is Tony Grossy. The Browns reporters

870
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 3: came on.

871
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 4: I've always thought that was like Mark has a detailed

872
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 4: catalog of all the you know what.

873
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 3: I like, grew up reading Tony Grossy was like in

874
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 3: middle school, I kind of you know.

875
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 5: For some reason, I always thought it was DJ and

876
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 5: it was almost like it was it was hard to

877
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 5: pull the words out of him, like he didn't want to.

878
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:12,320
Speaker 4: Give you them. He's just like slowly, slowly.

879
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 3: Sony Grossey might have known what he was doing there

880
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 3: in that situation.

881
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 4: Wait, what are we talking about again?

882
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 5: I think I made a great point about the college

883
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 5: defensive front they have gotten after has had some nice moments.

884
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,399
Speaker 5: Grover Stewart certainly you got you got Buckner, and that's

885
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 5: the weakness of the Rams. But then you think of

886
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 5: on the outside, these little receivers going down the field,

887
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:37,319
Speaker 5: can they win against some big colts cornerbacks. You know

888
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 5: who impressed me last week was Juju Brent. I can't

889
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 5: say I was too familiar with him as a draft prospect.

890
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 5: He was like one of those guys that that if

891
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 5: you're really into like speed score and raw athleticism. Score

892
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 5: was maybe the most athletic cornerback in the gym, just

893
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 5: like one of those guys who just like tested out

894
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 5: of the gym, but what didn't really play that well

895
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 5: at football. Uh, and kind of like Tarik Willen was

896
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 5: a year ago and this was his first game a

897
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 5: week ago because he was injured the first week and

898
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,919
Speaker 5: he bawled out against Baltimore. And he's a big guy.

899
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 5: They have some big cornerbacks in Indianapolis. So I'm interested

900
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 5: in that matchup. This is a fun little.

901
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 1: Match job by Vegas. The Desert has this one, right.

902
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 1: I get Colts by one and a half.

903
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 5: That's actually some respect for the Rams there, it is.

904
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 5: You know they're saying, not on neutral field, the Rams

905
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 5: would bet.

906
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 1: Her favorites in Week four after the misery of last

907
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:31,360
Speaker 1: season and the way people were talking about the team

908
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:32,840
Speaker 1: having so many issues. I'm with you.

909
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 3: I think one thing that, like you thought, oh, without

910
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,880
Speaker 3: Jonathan Taylor, they're sitting ducks with a rookie quarterback like

911
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 3: it's gonna put It's like Zach Moss, who like has

912
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 3: been underwhelming career wise, like yes is currently and I'm

913
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 3: not I'm not making a comparison, but he's outperforming what

914
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 3: a banged up Jonathan Taylor was at this point a

915
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:49,919
Speaker 3: year ago.

916
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 4: Like I would just say that.

917
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 3: You know, he had one hundred and twenty two yards

918
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:54,839
Speaker 3: last week and like he looked good.

919
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 4: It's like, I mean, they're not.

920
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:57,879
Speaker 3: That's not a total weakness for them where we thought

921
00:40:57,880 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 3: it would be.

922
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,879
Speaker 5: That's stiching. That's a side that your coaches. I always say,

923
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 5: you need a coach that brings something to the table. Well,

924
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 5: the fact that you can see Zach Moss going for

925
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 5: one hundred plus that you you have to put that

926
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:12,919
Speaker 5: on the coaching. I'm saying, the offensive line, the run game,

927
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:14,840
Speaker 5: it's impressive. Line's been a lot better like that.

928
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 1: Yes, I'd be going crazy though as a Colts fan,

929
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 1: because you're really happy with the start of the season overall,

930
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 1: other than the riches and health stuff. And there are

931
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:25,880
Speaker 1: reports out there that Taylor's ankle Jonathan Taylor's ankle is

932
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 1: fully healthy. There's also a report from Dan Graziano that

933
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 1: he's nearing his he's eligible to come off the pup

934
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 1: after this Sunday quote. Still doesn't want to play for

935
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 1: the Colts, So it seems like this is heading toward

936
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 1: a devorce. You know what. The Eagles are probably gonna

937
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 1: get him for a six round pick or something, and

938
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:46,879
Speaker 1: then it's just gonna be like, you know, I would

939
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 1: love to see this off. This team that is in

940
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 1: kind of a bounce back place with an exciting quarterback.

941
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 1: Give him a dynamic running back, because forget about twenty

942
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 1: twenty two Jonathan Taylor, twenty twenty one, Jonathan Tylor is

943
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 1: running back years of the last decade plus. Like, if

944
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:04,879
Speaker 1: you could get that out of this office, this team

945
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 1: starts to get legitimately frisky and maybe even spicy. Yeah,

946
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:11,799
Speaker 1: but I don't think that's gonna happen based on the

947
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 1: reports unless there's some type of come to Jesus conversation

948
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,720
Speaker 1: between ERSA and Taylor. And by the way, if anybody

949
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 1: remembers the last conversation they had, it couldn't have gone worse.

950
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 3: So no, I could see him on the Cowboys, but

951
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 3: I'd say it. It's just another kind of credit to

952
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 3: Shane Steichen that what's happened over the last couple of

953
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 3: weeks has us forgetting all that drama from just a

954
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,479
Speaker 3: month ago, an organization that seemed to want to shoot

955
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:34,399
Speaker 3: itself in the foot endless.

956
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 5: It's a fun game because it's a swing game I

957
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 5: think for both teams, Like who's gonna be the feisty

958
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 5: team because the Rams have the Eagles next week? But

959
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 5: they get their starback and he actually wants to play

960
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 5: for the Rams. Cooper Cup is supposedly gonna be ready

961
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:47,359
Speaker 5: to return for week five.

962
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:48,440
Speaker 4: But if if they.

963
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,800
Speaker 5: Follow one in three, then you start maybe hearing whispers

964
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 5: about trade stuff and you got the Eagles next week,

965
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 5: Like trade deadline starts getting pretty soon. But if they

966
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:57,359
Speaker 5: can win a couple of these games that they.

967
00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 1: Have, I want to see healthy Matt Stafford with healthy

968
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup, with Pooka and Akua. Let's I mean, that's

969
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:06,800
Speaker 1: gonna be that's fly, That's gonna be nice.

970
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 3: We've also not given we maybe haven't given Sean McVay

971
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 3: enough credit for what the Rams are right now.

972
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're watchable and competitive. All right, let's take a

973
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:20,280
Speaker 1: break and then we will continue on. All right, welcome back.

974
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:25,319
Speaker 1: I mentioned, uh remember I debuted a new seg on

975
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 1: Wednesday show Media minute?

976
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 4: Was it?

977
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:30,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. I like that. Actually it's good branding.

978
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 4: Something along this line I did.

979
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 1: Speaking of branding, I noticed Kyle Brand has a new venture,

980
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 1: a new podcast. It's it's being advertised during our show.

981

Speaker 1: It's a ten minute podcast with with Kyle.

982
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 4: Sounds great, sounds very great.

983
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 1: Kyle's gonna kill it, I'm sure in his pitch of

984
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:52,840
Speaker 1: the podcast. In the commercial, he says, ah, doesn't everybody

985
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 1: hate when you go to click into a podcast and

986
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 1: the podcast is an hour and twenty seven minutes long,

987
00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 1: And it's like, that's like most of our podcast. So

Speaker 1: Commercial from our own media group during our show saying,

Speaker 1: You dis Yeah, Brand's gonna do great. Kyle's excellent.

1001
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 5: He also was the one that said he didn't like

1002
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:50,399
Speaker 5: getting asked for Yes, another podcast, He's coming after us.

1003
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:53,359
Speaker 4: Hey, those are our twenty seven minutes. They're gonna pay

1004
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:56,399
Speaker 4: for my kids to go to college. I would right

1005
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:56,839
Speaker 4: it up.

1006
00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:01,280
Speaker 1: The eyebrow would go a tilt if we start seeing

1007
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 1: a bunch of guests on Kyle's new podcast. Yeah, it's

1008
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 1: just like kyle solo ten minute joint, which, by the way,

1009
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:08,799
Speaker 1: sounds like a pretty good gig.

1010
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 3: You'd have to go on for like forty eight seconds

1011
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 3: as a guest. That sounds doable to me.

1012
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:15,919
Speaker 5: Or for his next ad is like, don't you hate

1013
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 5: it when it's just like three guys but they don't

1014
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:21,439
Speaker 5: really totally focus on football and one of them can't

1015
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:24,239
Speaker 5: decide whether they really like the Browns or not, Like, is.

1016
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 1: There anything worse than three middle aged whites from Los

1017
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 1: Angeles who never played the game?

1018
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 3: Well, two of you didn't, but like, yeah, who needs

1019
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 3: a touch of mirth?

1020
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 4: Let's go to the next pick in the draft.

1021
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:39,840
Speaker 1: No, let's not because I want to also share something.

1022
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 1: Okay that.

1023
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 4: Let's just have a music underlay.

1024
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:47,280
Speaker 1: Well, it's connected to last week last shows music underlay

1025
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 1: the media minute last episode, I mentioned that I really

1026
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 1: wanted to play Terry Bradshaw not being able to place

1027
00:45:56,760 --> 00:46:02,479
Speaker 1: Desmond Rudders name, and Fox Red threw up the stop

1028
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 1: sign on it. Yeah, but they don't realize there's a workaround.

1029
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 1: The Fans of the Hard Knocks podcast know that we

1030
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:13,480
Speaker 1: cannot use Leev Shreiver's voice on that program, the narrator

1031
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:15,719
Speaker 1: of Hard Knocks. But we do have a workaround in

1032
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:19,359
Speaker 1: the forum of Jason Zumwalt. Oh yes, our sound guy,

1033
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:24,239
Speaker 1: our voiceover artist artiste, the new voice of God, and

1034
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 1: you who I'm not over the U. So I asked

1035
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:33,360
Speaker 1: Jason to listen to the Terry Ridder issue on Sunday's

1036
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 1: Fox pregame show and give us a reenactment, which Fox

1037
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:40,759
Speaker 1: cannot stop. They have no legal recourse but to let

1038
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:43,319
Speaker 1: us do this right now, So eat it.

1039
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:49,280
Speaker 2: Murdoch All School football smash Mouth four to time. Russians

1040
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 2: last week against the Packers. They win that football game.

1041
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 2: I lock what they're doing. I locked their quarterback out

1042
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 2: of Cincinnati. What's his name, Ritter Ridder?

1043
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:04,120
Speaker 1: Learn his name when he gets good. Okay, that's not

1044
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 1: like a script. That was actually what Terry Bradshaw said

1045
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 1: on Fox.

1046
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:09,400
Speaker 3: That was better than Terry Bradshaw.

1047
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 4: I love that he nailed it.

1048
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:14,799
Speaker 1: Did you know that Terry also had takes about the

1049
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 1: t Swift Kelsey romance. No, well, well he didn't, but

1050
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 1: if he did, this is what it would sound like.

1051
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 5: And I did.

1052
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 2: I saw Travis Kelsey with his galfriend up in the

1053
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 2: suite with his mama. Who is she Lord Dashian or

1054
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 2: Hilton's sister? Anyway, I wish the best.

1055
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:36,760
Speaker 4: To them and all their future children.

1056
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:38,279
Speaker 1: Gonna be a tall letter.

1057
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:41,319
Speaker 4: Both of them got some hot from what I can tell.

1058
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:48,719
Speaker 1: Where am I listen? Air Porter TV Studio? Oh my god,

1059
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:54,800
Speaker 1: couldn't stop us Fox, not if you tried. Thank you,

1060
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 1: fake Terry Bradshaw. All right, let's get back to the draft.

1061
00:47:58,960 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 1: Greg double an.

1062
00:47:59,880 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 5: Eye, I am excited that Patriots Cowboys with Burkhart and

1063
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 5: Greg Olsen and Aaron Andrews and Tom Ronaldy is available

1064
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:12,800
Speaker 5: seven point favorites the Dallas Cowboys.

1065
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 1: Tom is very serious man, that Roald. You could tell

1066
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 1: some people are just very serious.

1067
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:20,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, then they throw him in these sort of

1068
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,279
Speaker 3: stilted ads where they try to turn into a funny man.

1069
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 4: But that's not who he is.

1070
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:24,719
Speaker 1: We got an idea.

1071
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:29,760
Speaker 5: Let's have Tom play against type I. I'm really intrigued

1072
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 5: to see this game because I think the Patriots have

1073
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:36,759
Speaker 5: shown parts of their team that are promising depending on

1074
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 5: the week. They haven't put it all together yet, but

1075
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:42,760
Speaker 5: they're playing a Cowboys team that.

1076
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:45,720
Speaker 4: Really needs to improve after last week.

1077
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:47,760
Speaker 5: And I think maybe has a little bit of concern

1078
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 5: about this old Texas Coast offense that we were so

1079
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 5: excited about a week ago, or at least Dak Prescott's

1080
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:55,040
Speaker 5: place in it. When I went to go rewatch that game,

1081
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 5: I really wanted to see what was up with Dak,

1082
00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 5: because he's the ultimate guy that's better on film on

1083
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 5: the All twenty two than he is on the TV copy.

1084
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:07,560
Speaker 5: Like you see it and you can kind of like, oh,

1085
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:09,400
Speaker 5: he's like he's a quarterbacks quarterback.

1086
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:11,760
Speaker 4: He's making great decisions. You kind of see what he's seeing.

1087
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:12,400
Speaker 4: You know.

1088
00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 5: He's always been a very poor man's Bradier Manning type

1089
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:19,240
Speaker 5: where he's he's winning from the neck up and seeing

1090
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 5: the field, and last week Gannon put it to him,

1091
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:26,239
Speaker 5: and there were many plays in that game where he

1092
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:28,799
Speaker 5: was double clutching, and I wanted to go rewatch those

1093
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:31,880
Speaker 5: double clutch plays and see what he's seeing. And guys

1094
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:35,920
Speaker 5: seem like they were open, and Dak seemed kind of spooked,

1095
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:39,440
Speaker 5: and then he just started making some crazy decisions like

1096
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:41,600
Speaker 5: the interception you talked about the end of just like

1097
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:45,400
Speaker 5: what are you possibly seeing there? And I think Gannon

1098
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 5: scrambled him with some of the defensive game planning. Fast

1099
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:51,560
Speaker 5: forward to this week and you're playing a Belichick team

1100
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:54,880
Speaker 5: who's had decent success against Dak in the past, not

1101
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 5: like they've played that much, but slowed him down when

1102
00:49:57,640 --> 00:49:59,239
Speaker 5: he's been playing better. And I think this is a

1103
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 5: tough defense to go against if you start seeing ghosts,

1104
00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:06,160
Speaker 5: because they are able to change who they are.

1105
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:08,399
Speaker 4: On a week to week basis. They really are great

1106
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 4: at that.

1107
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:10,839
Speaker 5: They did it last week by putting all their big

1108
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 5: faties up front to stop the Jets run game and

1109
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:16,160
Speaker 5: Darren Zach Wilson Beta. You know, they got they got

1110
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:18,160
Speaker 5: a little bit of everyone. And I'm just saying they

1111
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:20,360
Speaker 5: got the three hundred and ten pounders.

1112
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 4: You could call them hogs. Yeah, but this.

1113
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 5: Week that this week, this week they got their three safeties.

1114
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 5: Hopefully they get some cornerbacks back. I mean they're not

1115
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 5: getting Jack Jones back from suspension yet. Marcus Jones is out,

1116
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:37,120
Speaker 5: but maybe you get Jonathan Jones. You got all these safeties,

1117
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:39,719
Speaker 5: you're Bill Prepper's playing, well, can you scramble back up?

1118
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:40,959
Speaker 4: I'm optimistic.

1119
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:44,359
Speaker 1: Well. The seeing ghosts is the famous Sam Darnold line

1120
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:47,160
Speaker 1: from Monday Night Football a few years back against the Patriots,

1121
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:50,879
Speaker 1: and that's yes, what they specialize in. And Dak isn't

1122
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:53,480
Speaker 1: trusting what he's seeing with his eyes and getting confused

1123
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:55,440
Speaker 1: by the coverage, and yeah, you got me spooked. If

1124
00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:56,319
Speaker 1: I'm a Cowboys fan.

1125
00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:59,240
Speaker 4: It's just one game, just one game something.

1126
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:01,319
Speaker 1: But yeah, you're gonna want to give him a game

1127
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 1: script that puts him in some good passing situations where

1128
00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:06,799
Speaker 1: Belichick isn't able to really go to work and go

1129
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:07,520
Speaker 1: to town on you.

1130
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:09,640
Speaker 3: It's one of these games where it's like you're definitely

1131
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 3: checking to see who's returning for Dallas because you know,

1132
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:16,360
Speaker 3: I think last week was impacted by your offensive line injuries.

1133
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:20,719
Speaker 3: Mike McCarthy said on Thursday Today that Tyron Smith still

1134
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:23,800
Speaker 3: in the rehab group, Zach Martin, Tyler Biadish doing a

1135
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:25,799
Speaker 3: little bit more. I mean, it just matters a lot

1136
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:29,200
Speaker 3: because I don't love the idea of like Christian Barmore

1137
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 3: and Matthew Judon against the banged up Cowboys line the

1138
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:34,239
Speaker 3: Patriots last week against the Jets, and I know the

1139
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:36,680
Speaker 3: Jets offensive line is a slight disaster at the moment,

1140
00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:41,360
Speaker 3: but sixty one point five percent pressure rate their highest

1141
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:44,080
Speaker 3: for New England since twenty eighteen, So they're clicking. And

1142
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:46,120
Speaker 3: if you get if they if you get a Dallas

1143
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 3: banged up offensive line, I don't love that because the

1144
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:52,480
Speaker 3: Patriots to me, are a snooze fest on offense. They

1145
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:54,920
Speaker 3: allowed ten yards passing on defense last week. Again, I

1146
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:57,240
Speaker 3: know it's the Jets, but it's like that just doesn't

1147
00:51:57,239 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 3: happen in NFL games in general, thirty nine yards in total.

1148
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:02,359
Speaker 3: So this is Patriots defense can hang with anyone.

1149
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:03,400
Speaker 4: You saw it against the Dolphins.

1150
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:06,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. Two above the tree tops takes on this one.

1151
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:09,279
Speaker 1: First of all, if the Cowboys are what I still

1152
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:12,480
Speaker 1: think they are, which is a BTT big time team,

1153
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:15,880
Speaker 1: this is when you at home after an embarrassing kind

1154
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:18,439
Speaker 1: of loss where you play like dog poop and it's

1155
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:21,640
Speaker 1: like if your head coach and your DC and everybody

1156
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:24,440
Speaker 1: are good at what they do, they have you coached

1157
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 1: up and pissed off, and you go and you kill

1158
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:31,080
Speaker 1: a middling team. The Patriots are like the textbook definition

1159
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 1: to me of an eight to nine maybe if the

1160
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:37,160
Speaker 1: ball bounces right nine to eighteen. I just don't see

1161
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 1: a lot with this offense to be able to make

1162
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:44,200
Speaker 1: a big play against the Cowboys and to sustain drives

1163
00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:46,879
Speaker 1: throughout the afternoon. I know they did it pretty well

1164
00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:48,759
Speaker 1: against the Jets, but even then, I mean, what was

1165
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:50,759
Speaker 1: it they hit one big play. I would love to

1166
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:52,640
Speaker 1: see what like their yards per play was if you

1167
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:54,760
Speaker 1: take out the coverage bust on the tight end touchdown.

1168
00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:58,000
Speaker 1: So I think New England is a very mediocre offense,

1169
00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:01,839
Speaker 1: and I think the Cowboys are going to run away

1170
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:02,200
Speaker 1: with this one.

1171
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:03,960
Speaker 4: I think this is what is what is the spread

1172
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:04,960
Speaker 4: on this It is seven?

1173
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:07,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the Cowboys are gonna get angry and

1174
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 1: win by fourteen to seventeen, a generous spread.

1175
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:14,839
Speaker 5: Well, I not only disagree, is he gonna I disagree

1176
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:17,440
Speaker 5: to the point that I think they're gonna leave a

1177
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:20,680
Speaker 5: little bit of that roof open on Sunday, That Mac

1178
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:25,840
Speaker 5: Jones oh played pretty well under pressure, that the defense

1179
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:27,880
Speaker 5: can keep it close, and that it's gonna be a

1180
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 5: lower scoring game than you think, and that these Dallas

1181
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:32,440
Speaker 5: linebackers looked a little shaky and suddenly you're not as

1182
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 5: deep at cornerback without Trayvon Diggs, and that this is

1183
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:37,239
Speaker 5: gonna be back and forth. Patriots might win this game

1184
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:39,800
Speaker 5: straight up, but it's definitely gonna be raiding in Dallas.

1185
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:42,200
Speaker 5: The Raid Bakers coming out for the first time this year.

1186
00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 5: Let's go oh wow, covering that seven points.

1187
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:48,239
Speaker 1: A love that seven points. This game just got a

1188
00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:52,359
Speaker 1: lot more interesting to them. Make sure Marcus you know

1189
00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:57,399
Speaker 1: this one over here. Yeah, if he does get this right,

1190
00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:00,720
Speaker 1: he will be honking right. Sometimes when the rain maker,

1191
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:04,000
Speaker 1: when it's dry, right, he doesn't mention it when people

1192
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:04,560
Speaker 1: have put there.

1193
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:10,160
Speaker 4: If on Greg, we don't catch it.

1194
00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:14,080
Speaker 1: That's that's producer work too. We gotta hold Greg accountable

1195
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:14,320
Speaker 1: on this.

1196
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:15,839
Speaker 3: People's real, real money.

1197
00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1198
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:18,520
Speaker 5: And if you look at the record from last year

1199
00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:22,440
Speaker 5: with something like seven and three or six, we don't

1200
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:22,920
Speaker 5: know that.

1201
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:24,719
Speaker 1: You got to look over the whole You don't know

1202
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:27,640
Speaker 1: that the same people are are getting behind all of

1203
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:29,799
Speaker 1: your picks. What about the person that got behind those three?

1204
00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:32,160
Speaker 4: That's on them. They live on the street, now, that's

1205
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:32,480
Speaker 4: on them.

1206
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:33,839
Speaker 1: Sound like Jordan belfour.

1207
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:35,680
Speaker 4: Wouldn't wouldn't shock me if they went straight up. But

1208
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 4: I'll take the seven.

1209
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:38,879
Speaker 3: I thought you were going to lock the Patriots, which

1210
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:41,200
Speaker 3: would have been well, I already did lock the Seahawks.

1211
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:44,120
Speaker 5: So to make a change, I'm doing the classic Uh,

1212
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:46,600
Speaker 5: I'm locking up Gino and taking the Patriots and the

1213
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:50,400
Speaker 5: rain Maker. This is maybe the recipe, not the recipe

1214
00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:55,640
Speaker 5: for an emotion. I'm making a surprising greg.

1215
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:58,080
Speaker 1: Back by the way yesterday, I don't know what you know.

1216
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:00,320
Speaker 1: He said he didn't like talking anymore. No, heat it

1217
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:02,640
Speaker 1: up there, he's all the way back.

1218
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:04,479
Speaker 4: Hey. Once the camera is on, it's like.

1219
00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:09,280
Speaker 1: What about the book? What about the Englishman?

1220
00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:09,640
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1221
00:55:10,719 --> 00:55:14,879
Speaker 5: We ben Isaac's book about you promised the quote about

1222
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:18,840
Speaker 5: us you promised. I brought it home with me. I

1223
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:22,160
Speaker 5: took it out of my back, back, back back, and

1224
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:24,120
Speaker 5: I haven't gone past that yet.

1225
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:29,320
Speaker 4: But I mean, what, all right? My next pick is Dolphins.

1226
00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:32,200
Speaker 5: No, rather, I already took the Dolphins, the Broncos and

1227
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:35,880
Speaker 5: the Bears, and this is these are two winless teams.

1228
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:37,520
Speaker 1: Uh.

1229
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:39,720
Speaker 4: But I have a strategy. When I have a great

1230
00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:42,640
Speaker 4: game like Dolphins Bills, I kind of want one that

1231
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 4: can get a little less attention as my second game,

1232
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:46,640
Speaker 4: and that's Broncos Bears.

1233
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:48,600
Speaker 1: What do we call a matchup of two oh and

1234
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:52,520
Speaker 1: three teams? What do we have for that one? I

1235
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:54,399
Speaker 1: don't have a great name for that. I don't It's

1236
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:59,200
Speaker 1: not a double wounded dog game, double cornered animal. This

1237
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:02,239
Speaker 1: is a I think one of these animals died a

1238
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:02,640
Speaker 1: week ago.

1239
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:04,520
Speaker 4: It's a tough team.

1240
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:08,120
Speaker 1: For whoever loses this is a loser goal goes home. Okay,

1241
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:11,560
Speaker 1: whoever loses this one, it's I mean ohing for take

1242
00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:11,960
Speaker 1: a walk.

1243
00:56:13,239 --> 00:56:16,239
Speaker 3: I think it's probably you're cooked and on for either team.

1244
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:19,279
Speaker 3: I think the Bears are to go home this year

1245
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:20,800
Speaker 3: to be eliminated from the season.

1246
00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:25,480
Speaker 5: I feel like the Bears our home, mattib Refluse, Remember

1247
00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:28,560
Speaker 5: they signed those linebackers. Everyone was all fired up tremade

1248
00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 5: Edmunds and and t J. Edwards the first day of

1249
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:34,680
Speaker 5: training camp for you know, our first day of free

1250
00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:39,799
Speaker 5: agency for like thirty million dollars guaranteed. Edmunds is struggling

1251
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:43,520
Speaker 5: and his replacement in Buffalo playing very well to Bernard

1252
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:46,439
Speaker 5: and Jakwan Brisker like a second round picky seventy fourth

1253
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:48,680
Speaker 5: out of seventy eight and in safety ratings like they

1254
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 5: were supposed to be built around defense or defensive coach,

1255
00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:53,320
Speaker 5: it's not working. But one of the other reasons, you

1256
00:56:53,440 --> 00:56:55,000
Speaker 5: just gotta throw this out that I took this game

1257
00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:58,000
Speaker 5: to Matt Ryan game. Okay, I and you Matt Ryan.

1258
00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:02,279
Speaker 5: Matt Ryan, the broadcast has a chance I think to

1259
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 5: be much like Matt Ryan, the player underrated better than

1260
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:11,680
Speaker 5: people give him credit for, and a connoisseur's favorite. He's

1261
00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:13,799
Speaker 5: starting to make some points here where I'm like, I'm

1262
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:15,239
Speaker 5: learning something from you, Matt Ryan.

1263
00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:19,520
Speaker 1: Despite him double crossing me in Fantasy several seasons, I

1264
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:22,000
Speaker 1: always liked him as a player. That's why I drafted

1265
00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:25,720
Speaker 1: him multiple times. And I do think he's done a

1266
00:57:25,720 --> 00:57:27,600
Speaker 1: good job. I thought his agent did him a bit

1267
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:33,280
Speaker 1: of a disservice by without well. According to Matt Ryan,

1268
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:39,080
Speaker 1: he reached out to the Jets and said, hey, that's

1269
00:57:39,120 --> 00:57:43,160
Speaker 1: available if you want him, as did Carson Wentz representation,

1270
00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:45,920
Speaker 1: according to a Fox report, and the Jets are like,

1271
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:48,600
Speaker 1: now we're good. Because the Jets are fine, don't look up.

1272
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:52,479
Speaker 1: And then Matt Ryan had to kind of come out.

1273
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:54,320
Speaker 1: And I don't know if it was who it was with,

1274
00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:57,320
Speaker 1: who the interview was with, but he said he named

1275
00:57:57,320 --> 00:57:59,520
Speaker 1: his agent, and it was like, you know, that's what

1276
00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:02,120
Speaker 1: a great ad agent does. Like he was doing due

1277
00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:04,640
Speaker 1: diligence for me, and I don't know.

1278
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:07,080
Speaker 5: That's probably I don't believe Matt Ryan for a second.

1279
00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:09,320
Speaker 5: That's the agent taking the fall here. They're they're close,

1280
00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:10,919
Speaker 5: they get they all get how the right.

1281
00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:12,520
Speaker 1: But why come out even say anything?

1282
00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:15,200
Speaker 4: Well, you must have been asked directly. Yeah, he doesn't

1283
00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:18,320
Speaker 4: like that. Said no, he was probably on a podcast

1284
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:19,280
Speaker 4: or something. I don't know.

1285
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:22,160
Speaker 3: He was in a tough spot. They got him in

1286
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:24,000
Speaker 3: that three man booth. So if he does, if he does,

1287
00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:24,960
Speaker 3: his checked her seat out.

1288
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:25,400
Speaker 4: That's right.

1289
00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:27,560
Speaker 5: We were talking about that. I think that was the plan,

1290
00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:31,840
Speaker 5: maybe from CBS, because I was like, he said that, Oh, really,

1291
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:33,640
Speaker 5: he was keeping the door up. My agent is one

1292
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:35,360
Speaker 5: of the best at what he does. Todd Franz is

1293
00:58:35,360 --> 00:58:37,360
Speaker 5: incredible and he wouldn't be doing his job if he

1294
00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:40,240
Speaker 5: wasn't looking into certain situations. He said when he took

1295
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:43,400
Speaker 5: the CBS job that he wasn't necessarily out out because

1296
00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:48,760
Speaker 5: let's be real, Tiki and Matt Ryan, I don't need Tiki.

1297
00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:52,080
Speaker 5: Tiki's just flying off the handle. He'll just say things

1298
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:55,120
Speaker 5: and I'm like, are you really just it's just like

1299
00:58:55,160 --> 00:58:58,760
Speaker 5: it's he he announces a game like it's morning drive

1300
00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:00,760
Speaker 5: time in New York, which just doesn't work because like

1301
00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:04,720
Speaker 5: you actually don't seem like you're following this team close

1302
00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:07,000
Speaker 5: enough to have that how to take about their offensive

1303
00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:08,920
Speaker 5: line like say seen.

1304
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:12,400
Speaker 1: Speaking of New York right he he does a show

1305
00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:14,640
Speaker 1: with Evan Roberts on w f an and New York.

1306
00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:19,360
Speaker 1: Joe Beningo, famous like WFN host and and Jet's fanatic,

1307
00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:23,320
Speaker 1: goes on the show with Roberts and tells Tiki he

1308
00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:25,960
Speaker 1: couldn't he couldn't know. I'm trying to remember what it was,

1309
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:28,200
Speaker 1: but he said, I know what you were at your

1310
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:30,520
Speaker 1: game on Sunday. You don't You don't know what we're

1311
00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:32,840
Speaker 1: talking about right now. You didn't watch the tape. And

1312
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:36,840
Speaker 1: Tiki turns off his mic, go turns to Roberts and

1313
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:38,480
Speaker 1: you can hear on Roberts his mic and goes, that's

1314
00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:40,760
Speaker 1: both and gets off and walks out of the studio,

1315
00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:43,720
Speaker 1: which is yet to happen on our show. No one's

1316
00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:44,840
Speaker 1: ever walked out of the studio.

1317
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:49,040
Speaker 4: What there was wasn't Is that? Did that ever happen

1318
00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:49,760
Speaker 4: way back?

1319
00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:52,240
Speaker 1: Or Mark had one walkout? That's right?

1320
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:53,680
Speaker 4: Was it not? For sure?

1321
00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:54,520
Speaker 1: Talking about.

1322
00:59:56,920 --> 00:59:57,600
Speaker 4: It was early on?

1323
00:59:57,680 --> 00:59:58,920
Speaker 3: I want more evidence of that.

1324
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:00,440
Speaker 1: It was in It was in Culver.

1325
01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:02,920
Speaker 3: I mean I get it would be in Culver. We've

1326
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:03,880
Speaker 3: only been here for two years.

1327
01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:07,400
Speaker 1: Listened to the show that they well, well, maybe we

1328
01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:08,640
Speaker 1: might have covered it up at the time.

1329
01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:09,760
Speaker 4: I think we could.

1330
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:13,680
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not saying it's totally impossible, but I

1331
01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:14,840
Speaker 3: just don't recall.

1332
01:00:14,680 --> 01:00:17,240
Speaker 1: It might have been around like the Sunday night drop.

1333
01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:20,320
Speaker 1: Is that so right?

1334
01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:23,320
Speaker 4: There is one where I'm pretty sure you stormed out.

1335
01:00:23,440 --> 01:00:25,720
Speaker 5: Really, I'd like to think it was like a TD

1336
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:28,120
Speaker 5: TD day time it was there.

1337
01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:29,840
Speaker 4: I had to be a little bit for show.

1338
01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:32,800
Speaker 5: And by the way, Broncos, you're in this game too,

1339
01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:35,120
Speaker 5: but play better if you want us to talk about

1340
01:00:35,160 --> 01:00:36,080
Speaker 5: your team more deeply.

1341
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:36,960
Speaker 4: Uh.

1342
01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:40,200
Speaker 5: That their article that that pointed out in Denver media

1343
01:00:40,240 --> 01:00:43,240
Speaker 5: this week that was like Russ is actually earning his paycheck.

1344
01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:45,440
Speaker 5: I mean, let's come back to us. Russ is like

1345
01:00:46,560 --> 01:00:50,200
Speaker 5: replacement level right now. And you guys want to exactly

1346
01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:54,000
Speaker 5: you want to take a victory lap that he's been fine,

1347
01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:55,600
Speaker 5: he's like the fifth highest paid quarterback.

1348
01:00:55,600 --> 01:00:56,680
Speaker 4: And yes, he's been fine.

1349
01:00:56,760 --> 01:00:59,720
Speaker 1: He's been an average The problem and I'll tell you what.

1350
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:03,480
Speaker 1: Some would say, this is madness. Others would say, God,

1351
01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:05,240
Speaker 1: only a real man could do such a thing here.

1352
01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:09,960
Speaker 1: But the Broncos that they're giving up seventy one are

1353
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:13,400
Speaker 1: facing a a Bears team that's not even a real team.

1354
01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:16,160
Speaker 1: They are not a professional football team at this point.

1355
01:01:16,240 --> 01:01:18,760
Speaker 1: And I don't say that to antagonize Bears fans because

1356
01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:21,160
Speaker 1: they know it too. They've been watching what's going on.

1357
01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:24,760
Speaker 1: It's absolute chaos. They can't unlock the offense. The defense

1358
01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:26,919
Speaker 1: doesn't even know where it's going. The DC is god

1359
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:30,880
Speaker 1: knows where, not with the Bears anymore. And for that reason,

1360
01:01:31,040 --> 01:01:36,280
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos on the road three teams and three

1361
01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:41,080
Speaker 1: team having had a seventy burger hung on their neck

1362
01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:45,840
Speaker 1: a week ago, We'll get w number one locking up

1363
01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:49,479
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos by Sean Payton. Let's go, buddy boy.

1364
01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:53,480
Speaker 3: Well, if they have, you know, even twelve less mistackles

1365
01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:55,160
Speaker 3: than the twenty four they had a week ago, that

1366
01:01:55,200 --> 01:01:58,000
Speaker 3: would be fine. They were giving up a league high

1367
01:01:58,000 --> 01:01:59,520
Speaker 3: one hundred and seventy seven yards.

1368
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:00,960
Speaker 1: Rush Dolphins offense.

1369
01:02:01,120 --> 01:02:01,560
Speaker 4: No it's not.

1370
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:04,520
Speaker 3: I mean the two teams combined gave up one hundred

1371
01:02:04,520 --> 01:02:08,280
Speaker 3: and eleven points last week. So this is, if nothing else,

1372
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:09,400
Speaker 3: one of the more interesting lives.

1373
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:11,680
Speaker 1: I I see two teams that are in a really

1374
01:02:11,720 --> 01:02:15,640
Speaker 1: bad way, but I find the Bears to be completely

1375
01:02:15,760 --> 01:02:19,040
Speaker 1: untethered they're like that movie where the guy in outer

1376
01:02:19,120 --> 01:02:21,320
Speaker 1: space is he's tied to the rope and he's doing

1377
01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:24,320
Speaker 1: some repairs on the space station and then like he

1378
01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:26,080
Speaker 1: gets hit by a moon rock or something and he

1379
01:02:26,160 --> 01:02:29,680
Speaker 1: just floats away. Yeah, that's the Bears. The the Broncos

1380
01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:32,400
Speaker 1: are just like, I don't know, they're passed out drunk

1381
01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:35,760
Speaker 1: within the space station, but they're they're still technically part

1382
01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:36,400
Speaker 1: of the universe.

1383
01:02:36,440 --> 01:02:38,640
Speaker 4: They lost theirst two games by a combined three points.

1384
01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:39,480
Speaker 4: That's fair.

1385
01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:43,360
Speaker 1: I like, I like Russell Wilson having a good game

1386
01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:46,880
Speaker 1: here because I think he's been playing highly decently too,

1387
01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:52,040
Speaker 1: almost good. Well, and we're gonna we're gonna take this one.

1388
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:54,040
Speaker 1: We're gonna take this one home. Bab what's the spread

1389
01:02:54,040 --> 01:02:56,959
Speaker 1: on it? Three three Broncos laying three?

1390
01:02:57,040 --> 01:03:00,440
Speaker 3: Okay, here we go, let's fly Somehow the bronc are

1391
01:03:00,720 --> 01:03:03,520
Speaker 3: are favored on the road after giving up seventy points.

1392
01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:05,520
Speaker 4: I don't know, I mean, and that's exactly what I'm

1393
01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:06,440
Speaker 4: talking about.

1394
01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:10,200
Speaker 5: The Bear that happening philosophy has been lock against teams

1395
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:11,280
Speaker 5: more than lock for a team.

1396
01:03:11,360 --> 01:03:12,160
Speaker 4: So this is a good one.

1397
01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:14,400
Speaker 1: Base though. Let's take a break and we'll be right

1398
01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:15,640

Speaker 4: Oh you're at That.

1413
01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:54,800
Speaker 1: Was a tone setting locked by the old zeuser.

1414
01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:57,480
Speaker 5: I mean, let's let's try not to act like a

1415
01:03:57,520 --> 01:03:59,720
Speaker 5: hero that you're locking against the worst team in the league.

1416
01:03:59,720 --> 01:04:02,280
Speaker 1: By the way, Also your little zing yesterday. But I

1417
01:04:02,320 --> 01:04:05,560
Speaker 1: get my own nicknames. Also, so you had fact No,

1418
01:04:05,640 --> 01:04:08,800
Speaker 1: you had Wes that gave Daddy Rich based on a

1419
01:04:08,840 --> 01:04:11,800
Speaker 1: Piston's Bad Boys book danzas is from McAfee.

1420
01:04:13,200 --> 01:04:17,200
Speaker 5: I pointed that out, said the credit or West credit

1421
01:04:17,360 --> 01:04:19,440
Speaker 5: for that.

1422
01:04:19,280 --> 01:04:19,840
Speaker 1: But that's two.

1423
01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:21,920
Speaker 4: But you're correcting a point that.

1424
01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:25,840
Speaker 1: Your initial statement was that I come up with all

1425
01:04:25,880 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 1: my nicknames that by my account outside sources.

1426
01:04:31,160 --> 01:04:33,320
Speaker 3: But that leaves you as the only person I've ever

1427
01:04:33,360 --> 01:04:35,880
Speaker 3: met that has given themselves five nicknames or whatever it

1428
01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:36,800
Speaker 3: is sin or seven.

1429
01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:39,440
Speaker 5: Think of all the failed nicknames around the eyes that

1430
01:04:39,520 --> 01:04:40,800
Speaker 5: haven't even made it to are yet.

1431
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:43,080
Speaker 4: I think we had a point that degree.

1432
01:04:43,160 --> 01:04:46,840
Speaker 3: There's a there's a pattern or a trend, or a compulsion.

1433
01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:51,520
Speaker 5: Johnny Knuckles, Johnny Chuckles with the host with the most

1434
01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:52,080
Speaker 5: you know.

1435
01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:56,280
Speaker 3: All the I've never heard that one either. Johnny Chuckles

1436
01:04:56,320 --> 01:04:58,320
Speaker 3: was a maybe more of a character.

1437
01:04:58,000 --> 01:04:59,600
Speaker 1: Than a nickname. I think it grinds your gears a

1438
01:04:59,640 --> 01:05:02,760
Speaker 1: little bit, Greg that I have nicknames. It's not they're

1439
01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:05,840
Speaker 1: coming from outside the building, inside the building, They're they're everywhere.

1440
01:05:05,880 --> 01:05:06,240
Speaker 1: That's all.

1441
01:05:06,280 --> 01:05:10,440
Speaker 4: I got a nickname for you. Okay, I want to

1442
01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:10,720
Speaker 4: hear it.

1443
01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:12,360
Speaker 3: No, it's more than me just sort of saying.

1444
01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:16,560
Speaker 1: Come on, all right, here we go on with it.

1445
01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:20,440
Speaker 1: I have to pick another game, which is ridiculous. I've

1446
01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:23,200
Speaker 1: already grabbed two early, so I'm going to grab it late.

1447
01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:26,880
Speaker 1: So it has to be Raiders It Chargers.

1448
01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:27,880
Speaker 4: Thank you.

1449
01:05:30,040 --> 01:05:32,480
Speaker 1: What's Jimmy g situation? Where are we at on? Jimmy G?

1450
01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:35,840
Speaker 4: T at this.

1451
01:05:37,480 --> 01:05:41,080
Speaker 5: O'Brian hoyer game not could be an Aid O'Connell and

1452
01:05:41,160 --> 01:05:42,280
Speaker 5: why not, Aid O'Connell.

1453
01:05:43,440 --> 01:05:45,760
Speaker 1: This is this is the type of game Greg likes

1454
01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:49,439
Speaker 1: to lock up. Well charges five and a half right now.

1455
01:05:49,720 --> 01:05:51,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, Greg got a theory on that though, Well, I

1456
01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:54,320
Speaker 5: think that'll move outside the lock zone if Jimmy G

1457
01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:57,080
Speaker 5: doesn't play and that that I don't I'm not into

1458
01:05:57,120 --> 01:05:58,760
Speaker 5: the whole look into the mirror thing, but I think

1459
01:05:58,800 --> 01:05:59,960
Speaker 5: this is a good example.

1460
01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:01,560
Speaker 4: Like you don't want to be doing that.

1461
01:06:01,840 --> 01:06:06,000
Speaker 1: No, you could technically, but we will not. I yeah,

1462
01:06:06,240 --> 01:06:10,240
Speaker 1: like having watched now, the Justin Herbert performance was beautiful.

1463
01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:12,600
Speaker 1: It was beautiful, and yeah he got away with that

1464
01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:15,600
Speaker 1: throw at the end, but he made so many throws.

1465
01:06:15,640 --> 01:06:19,880
Speaker 1: I actually I had a check marks next to every

1466
01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:23,320
Speaker 1: time Justin Herbert made a big time throw, whether it

1467
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:27,000
Speaker 1: was a scramble or just in a pocket and let

1468
01:06:27,040 --> 01:06:30,600
Speaker 1: them loose. And I counted nine just absurd throws that

1469
01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:35,920
Speaker 1: not many guys can make. And the Mike Williams thing sucks.

1470
01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:39,000
Speaker 1: He's out for the year at the ACL and they

1471
01:06:39,040 --> 01:06:42,240
Speaker 1: really now need their first round pick to step in

1472
01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:46,080
Speaker 1: and and be a difference maker, which apparently, behind the scenes,

1473
01:06:46,120 --> 01:06:49,040
Speaker 1: that was not the plan. The plan was to bring him,

1474
01:06:49,240 --> 01:06:53,280
Speaker 1: bringing him along slowly and maybe he's maybe next year

1475
01:06:53,360 --> 01:06:55,240
Speaker 1: is kind of his year, and now they need I.

1476
01:06:55,160 --> 01:06:58,000
Speaker 5: Think it just wasn't ready having him as like a

1477
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:00,200
Speaker 5: plug and play right away. He was a bad a

1478
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:02,160
Speaker 5: bad camp. They were saying it from the beginning. He

1479
01:07:02,200 --> 01:07:04,520
Speaker 5: didn't have a great preseason.

1480
01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:07,280
Speaker 1: Right, so let's see it will be telling Chargers fans

1481
01:07:07,280 --> 01:07:10,919
Speaker 1: holding their breaths right now, their breath because they need.

1482
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:12,960
Speaker 1: You want your first round pick to have an impact.

1483
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:15,120
Speaker 1: They took them twenty first overall, and now there's a

1484
01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:17,760
Speaker 1: big need at wide receiver. If he is not part

1485
01:07:17,800 --> 01:07:20,960
Speaker 1: of the game plan here, it's a red flag for sure.

1486
01:07:21,880 --> 01:07:24,600
Speaker 1: But you know, Austin Eckler, maybe you get him back here,

1487
01:07:24,640 --> 01:07:26,600
Speaker 1: and I think they're gonna be okay, especially if the

1488
01:07:26,680 --> 01:07:30,480
Speaker 1: Raiders don't have a quarterback. I think the Chargers have

1489
01:07:30,520 --> 01:07:33,680
Speaker 1: a chance here now to start stacking some wins. I

1490
01:07:33,760 --> 01:07:35,800
Speaker 1: like them a lot in this game. I do like

1491
01:07:35,840 --> 01:07:37,360
Speaker 1: them covering five and a half two. I think this

1492
01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:40,280
Speaker 1: is gonna be a Chargers They'll always let you down,

1493
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:43,000
Speaker 1: and they came very close to blowing that game. Considering

1494
01:07:43,040 --> 01:07:46,440
Speaker 1: the level of play greg from the quarterback so far

1495
01:07:46,520 --> 01:07:51,320
Speaker 1: this season, they are one rushed vikings play and interception

1496
01:07:51,400 --> 01:07:54,120
Speaker 1: away and you know, turn into a touchdown to oh

1497
01:07:54,160 --> 01:07:56,960
Speaker 1: to three, Like it's only the Chargers. It's Chargers going

1498
01:07:57,000 --> 01:07:59,880
Speaker 1: to Charger. But maybe they can start building something here.

1499
01:08:00,120 --> 01:08:01,880
Speaker 1: Momentum starting against them.

1500
01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:05,880
Speaker 5: Well typical Chargers fashion, though they're like a couple weird

1501
01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:08,880
Speaker 5: plays from three and oh two. Right, It's just like

1502
01:08:08,960 --> 01:08:11,840
Speaker 5: each game has come down to a totally insane ending

1503
01:08:12,280 --> 01:08:14,040
Speaker 5: that they found a way to blow two of them

1504
01:08:14,040 --> 01:08:16,720
Speaker 5: and they won that last one. Sounds like they did

1505
01:08:16,720 --> 01:08:20,360
Speaker 5: get a nice pass rusher there with their second round pick,

1506
01:08:21,360 --> 01:08:24,640
Speaker 5: Tully Twy. Polotu was kind of dominant last week. He

1507
01:08:24,680 --> 01:08:26,760
Speaker 5: had ten pressures. Like that's a bigger game than we've

1508
01:08:26,760 --> 01:08:29,519
Speaker 5: seen out of Khalil Mack for a long time. So

1509
01:08:29,760 --> 01:08:32,800
Speaker 5: that's nice that you get another edge rusher. It really

1510
01:08:32,880 --> 01:08:36,639
Speaker 5: might have found something. He looks strong. Jace Jackson spoke

1511
01:08:36,680 --> 01:08:39,759
Speaker 5: this week and was very confused why he was bench.

1512
01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:41,600
Speaker 5: He doesn't understand it. He said he's one of the

1513
01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:44,280
Speaker 5: best players on the team, that he's doing everything that's asked,

1514
01:08:44,320 --> 01:08:44,839
Speaker 5: that he's.

1515
01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:48,360
Speaker 4: Doing more, and that he was quite upset.

1516
01:08:48,479 --> 01:08:51,639
Speaker 5: So this defense, which looked like a mess the first

1517
01:08:51,640 --> 01:08:53,439
Speaker 5: couple of weeks, I don't feel any better. I don't

1518
01:08:53,439 --> 01:08:55,479
Speaker 5: feel any better about his defense. And I'm not putting

1519
01:08:55,520 --> 01:08:57,679
Speaker 5: it past the Chargers to lose this game.

1520
01:08:57,920 --> 01:08:59,360
Speaker 4: To aid, I'm not.

1521
01:08:59,320 --> 01:09:01,200
Speaker 1: Gonna let jac He Jackson off the hook because he

1522
01:09:01,200 --> 01:09:03,920
Speaker 1: hasn't lived up to a very big contract. But God,

1523
01:09:03,960 --> 01:09:06,000
Speaker 1: you got to communicate with your players, and I feel

1524
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:08,040
Speaker 1: like there's there's issues going on behind the scenes.

1525
01:09:08,600 --> 01:09:12,640
Speaker 3: Man his quote, like, uh, I don't know. It's so

1526
01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:16,479
Speaker 3: pointing at Staley and like, if anything, I thought Staley

1527
01:09:16,520 --> 01:09:18,880
Speaker 3: out of the gate was a coach that seemed of

1528
01:09:18,920 --> 01:09:21,160
Speaker 3: the new age where he would communicate well with players.

1529
01:09:21,160 --> 01:09:23,600
Speaker 3: He's a good communicator in general. And it's just like,

1530
01:09:23,680 --> 01:09:26,479
Speaker 3: what is going on with his team? You know? I

1531
01:09:26,560 --> 01:09:29,120
Speaker 3: point to like the playoff game last year after Brandon

1532
01:09:29,120 --> 01:09:32,040
Speaker 3: Staley mismanaged Mike Williams in the final week of the

1533
01:09:32,040 --> 01:09:34,479
Speaker 3: season without Mike Williams, and that if you had him

1534
01:09:34,479 --> 01:09:36,720
Speaker 3: in the Jaguars playoff game, I don't think you lose

1535
01:09:36,760 --> 01:09:37,040
Speaker 3: that thing.

1536
01:09:37,080 --> 01:09:37,559
Speaker 4: I think you win.

1537
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:39,960
Speaker 3: And it's like this time it's not Staley's fault. You

1538
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:42,960
Speaker 3: just lose Mike Williams again, who I thought completely helped.

1539
01:09:43,040 --> 01:09:45,960
Speaker 3: Keenan Allen, who leads the league with thirty two receptions

1540
01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:49,280
Speaker 3: have this incredible season so far, and it's like arrowed

1541
01:09:49,280 --> 01:09:51,719
Speaker 3: down a little bit on that continuing this way because

1542
01:09:51,760 --> 01:09:54,080
Speaker 3: of what you mentioned about, like the rookie wide receiver

1543
01:09:54,120 --> 01:09:56,800
Speaker 3: in that situation. This is the kind of game where like,

1544
01:09:56,840 --> 01:09:58,599
Speaker 3: I don't know if I trust the Chargers at all,

1545
01:09:58,880 --> 01:10:01,760
Speaker 3: but if you don't take care of business at home,

1546
01:10:01,800 --> 01:10:03,680
Speaker 3: and at home means something different for the Chargers than

1547
01:10:03,680 --> 01:10:05,400
Speaker 3: it does for every other team except the Rams for

1548
01:10:05,439 --> 01:10:05,840
Speaker 3: the most part.

1549
01:10:05,920 --> 01:10:07,479
Speaker 4: Is he gonna do it? Is he gonna do it? No?

1550
01:10:07,800 --> 01:10:10,599
Speaker 4: After he promised not to, Well, I was tempted to, but.

1551
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:14,439
Speaker 5: Talking before the show and he was like, well he

1552
01:10:14,479 --> 01:10:16,599
Speaker 5: got a locker in two weeks after.

1553
01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:19,040
Speaker 3: Behind the glass and she like, we try to tell

1554
01:10:19,040 --> 01:10:21,400
Speaker 3: her who our lock is. No, it was like tell

1555
01:10:21,400 --> 01:10:23,080
Speaker 3: her who our lock is, and like I switched to

1556
01:10:23,120 --> 01:10:24,760
Speaker 3: three or four times my lock is to come, but

1557
01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:26,160
Speaker 3: I'm not touching the Chargers.

1558
01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:30,519
Speaker 1: Uh. This just popped up on my iPad. Uh. You know,

1559
01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:37,360
Speaker 1: the Chandler Jones situation is not good. Raiders Edge who

1560
01:10:38,760 --> 01:10:42,439
Speaker 1: was put into some type of involuntary hold because of

1561
01:10:43,520 --> 01:10:46,280
Speaker 1: parent mental health issues. He came out, he got out

1562
01:10:46,280 --> 01:10:48,200
Speaker 1: of that and said that it was you know it

1563
01:10:48,280 --> 01:10:51,320
Speaker 1: was not something that he agreed to, and he's he's upset.

1564
01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:54,720
Speaker 1: I see a tweet from r G three. Let's all

1565
01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:56,840
Speaker 1: pray for Chandler Jones and his family. I don't know

1566
01:10:56,840 --> 01:10:58,759
Speaker 1: what's going on with him right now, but after everything

1567
01:10:58,760 --> 01:11:00,559
Speaker 1: I've seen, I do know he needs to feel like

1568
01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:02,960
Speaker 1: he's being heard in this moment. I reached out to

1569
01:11:03,040 --> 01:11:05,360
Speaker 1: him and encouraged all of his NFL brothers to do

1570
01:11:05,400 --> 01:11:05,719
Speaker 1: the same.

1571
01:11:06,240 --> 01:11:07,799
Speaker 4: You know, it's fine. It's a nice tweet.

1572
01:11:09,160 --> 01:11:12,920
Speaker 1: Jones, ride's back, bro, You washed up RG such and such.

1573
01:11:13,120 --> 01:11:17,839
Speaker 1: Sit down. I'm still in the league. You twitter fingers

1574
01:11:17,920 --> 01:11:20,280
Speaker 1: why I like going on?

1575
01:11:20,360 --> 01:11:22,640
Speaker 4: That's good. I'm still in like you Twitter fingers is

1576
01:11:22,680 --> 01:11:26,840
Speaker 4: pretty good. Imagine D three.

1577
01:11:26,320 --> 01:11:30,639
Speaker 3: I mean, if nothing else, that's a kind spirited, kind

1578
01:11:30,680 --> 01:11:32,160
Speaker 3: hearted message to someone that.

1579
01:11:32,160 --> 01:11:34,920
Speaker 1: You're trying to but you're I think you're doing like

1580
01:11:34,960 --> 01:11:36,960
Speaker 1: I don't know, virtue signaling or not really.

1581
01:11:37,439 --> 01:11:41,479
Speaker 4: He said he was hospitalized against his will. It's all.

1582
01:11:41,640 --> 01:11:42,679
Speaker 1: I don't think we're going to see.

1583
01:11:42,880 --> 01:11:45,240
Speaker 5: We don't know the full story, but it's all. It's

1584
01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:48,840
Speaker 5: all troubling, he said. They he was tried to force

1585
01:11:48,920 --> 01:11:52,280
Speaker 5: to take meds and medications, so it's all very upsetting

1586
01:11:52,320 --> 01:11:54,040
Speaker 5: and just on a football.

1587
01:11:55,479 --> 01:11:56,000
Speaker 4: Side of it.

1588
01:11:56,400 --> 01:11:59,000
Speaker 5: We've seen it in Cleveland, we've seen it with Las

1589
01:11:59,080 --> 01:12:02,360
Speaker 5: Vegas now last couple of years. One elite pass thrusher

1590
01:12:02,439 --> 01:12:05,000
Speaker 5: does not make a pass rush and the rest of

1591
01:12:05,040 --> 01:12:07,840
Speaker 5: the they just now are just sending three guys two

1592
01:12:07,880 --> 01:12:10,760
Speaker 5: guys at Crosby and the rest of that group's not.

1593
01:12:10,720 --> 01:12:14,160
Speaker 1: Stepping up unless you're Aaron Donald.

1594
01:12:15,040 --> 01:12:16,720
Speaker 4: But he had some guys with them. He had some

1595
01:12:16,760 --> 01:12:17,680
Speaker 4: guys with them, but.

1596
01:12:17,640 --> 01:12:19,799
Speaker 1: He's the guy that doesn't matter what you threw at him.

1597
01:12:20,160 --> 01:12:21,639
Speaker 1: That it was kind of good to see old Aaron

1598
01:12:21,680 --> 01:12:22,360
Speaker 1: Donald a little bit.

1599
01:12:22,720 --> 01:12:24,800
Speaker 5: But that's sort of a good example that like he

1600
01:12:24,840 --> 01:12:27,040
Speaker 5: can he can get it done. Crosby can get it done,

1601
01:12:27,080 --> 01:12:29,679
Speaker 5: but that's not enough. You still need other other guys.

1602
01:12:29,920 --> 01:12:32,240
Speaker 3: Well, they're also like the whole rest of the defense

1603
01:12:32,280 --> 01:12:34,479
Speaker 3: has been a disappointment for like roughly three hundred and

1604
01:12:34,520 --> 01:12:35,320
Speaker 3: forty years in a row.

1605
01:12:35,640 --> 01:12:37,640
Speaker 1: I have a developing news here.

1606
01:12:37,520 --> 01:12:41,720
Speaker 4: Okay, developing news.

1607
01:12:44,840 --> 01:12:49,200
Speaker 1: No, I have developing news, not breaking news.

1608
01:12:50,360 --> 01:12:54,760
Speaker 4: Come on, I would have noticed the difference what I

1609
01:12:54,840 --> 01:12:56,080
Speaker 4: do this.

1610
01:12:59,200 --> 01:13:04,840
Speaker 1: Because I'm talking walk. The x FL and USFL said

1611
01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:07,679
Speaker 1: Thursday that the two spring football leagues plan to merge

1612
01:13:07,720 --> 01:13:12,719
Speaker 1: and begin begin play next year. The move is subject

1613
01:13:12,760 --> 01:13:20,280
Speaker 1: to customary regulatory approvals. Yeah, I'll be checking out every

1614
01:13:20,320 --> 01:13:23,280
Speaker 1: one of those games. I'm not trying to be mean

1615
01:13:23,320 --> 01:13:27,040
Speaker 1: about this, but sometimes you just gotta say, Nah, this

1616
01:13:27,120 --> 01:13:29,439
Speaker 1: isn't gonna work. Like what makes them think this is

1617
01:13:29,479 --> 01:13:29,960
Speaker 1: gonna work?

1618
01:13:30,640 --> 01:13:31,040
Speaker 4: I don't know.

1619
01:13:31,080 --> 01:13:33,040
Speaker 3: I feel like there have been twelve of these organizations

1620
01:13:33,120 --> 01:13:34,320
Speaker 3: or these leagues.

1621
01:13:34,479 --> 01:13:37,240
Speaker 1: It's not for a lack of effort. And I understand

1622
01:13:37,360 --> 01:13:40,240
Speaker 1: what these people like Dwayne Johnson the Rock are going for.

1623
01:13:40,360 --> 01:13:43,280
Speaker 1: Like football is the most popular sport in this country.

1624
01:13:44,160 --> 01:13:47,000
Speaker 1: Let's let's move something to the spring. Let's go against

1625
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:49,479
Speaker 1: like early season baseball, and I guess the NBA playoffs,

1626
01:13:49,479 --> 01:13:52,640
Speaker 1: which is tricky too, and uh, let's let's let's make

1627
01:13:52,680 --> 01:13:55,679
Speaker 1: a play. But it's like, it's just you're so much

1628
01:13:55,720 --> 01:13:58,160
Speaker 1: evidence that it's just not gonna happen. And maybe it

1629
01:13:58,280 --> 01:14:01,280
Speaker 1: almost kind of happened. Is a great ESPN thirty for

1630
01:14:01,320 --> 01:14:07,599
Speaker 1: thirty documentary about the usfl and and Donald Trump played

1631
01:14:07,600 --> 01:14:11,000
Speaker 1: a major role in that getting like torn asunder, but

1632
01:14:11,040 --> 01:14:13,720
Speaker 1: that was a long time ago, like and the landscape

1633
01:14:13,800 --> 01:14:16,559
Speaker 1: is different now, And it's just interesting that instead of

1634
01:14:16,880 --> 01:14:20,160
Speaker 1: after I would imagine abysmal ratings for both these leagues.

1635
01:14:19,920 --> 01:14:23,840
Speaker 5: And they've been okay, like compared to other sports, they've

1636
01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:27,280
Speaker 5: been okay. I think that's why, if anything, the two

1637
01:14:27,320 --> 01:14:28,040
Speaker 5: going against each other.

1638
01:14:28,360 --> 01:14:31,439
Speaker 1: Nobody loves football more than Greg. How many games have

1639
01:14:31,479 --> 01:14:31,840
Speaker 1: you watched?

1640
01:14:32,360 --> 01:14:34,960
Speaker 4: I I Am not going to be watching spring professional football,

1641
01:14:35,040 --> 01:14:35,599
Speaker 4: That's what I mean.

1642
01:14:35,760 --> 01:14:38,479
Speaker 5: But I'm just saying, like compared to like a like

1643
01:14:38,520 --> 01:14:41,080
Speaker 5: a baseball game that they put on nationally, like it'll

1644
01:14:41,080 --> 01:14:43,640
Speaker 5: beat that, like compared to like some some like a

1645
01:14:43,720 --> 01:14:46,759
Speaker 5: tennis final or whatever, Like they were getting okay ratings

1646
01:14:46,800 --> 01:14:49,320
Speaker 5: but making the money all work to like get the

1647
01:14:49,320 --> 01:14:51,800
Speaker 5: stadiums and all that stuff. You know, what, do they

1648
01:14:51,880 --> 01:14:54,880
Speaker 5: need a developmental league? I don't know if gonna get it.

1649
01:14:55,160 --> 01:14:58,920
Speaker 3: Been a better time ever then to I'd say relaunch

1650
01:14:59,040 --> 01:15:01,479
Speaker 3: with a limited amount of T teams the World League,

1651
01:15:02,520 --> 01:15:05,080
Speaker 3: Like I mean it when when there was a World

1652
01:15:05,160 --> 01:15:07,160
Speaker 3: leg it was like You're putting teams in Germany and

1653
01:15:07,280 --> 01:15:09,000
Speaker 3: all over the place. It's like it's a stretch. We

1654
01:15:09,000 --> 01:15:10,840
Speaker 3: don't know if it's gonna be popular. Right now, it's

1655
01:15:10,840 --> 01:15:12,200
Speaker 3: exploding all over the world.

1656
01:15:12,400 --> 01:15:15,559
Speaker 1: We have the International Pathway Program which is helping on

1657
01:15:15,600 --> 01:15:17,280
Speaker 1: that front, developed players elsewhere.

1658
01:15:17,360 --> 01:15:19,599
Speaker 3: It's literally different things. But a national league would be

1659
01:15:19,760 --> 01:15:21,519
Speaker 3: I mean this, you like, if you talk about the

1660
01:15:21,520 --> 01:15:24,000
Speaker 3: fact that you can't get people in like American cities

1661
01:15:24,040 --> 01:15:25,800
Speaker 3: to go watch a non NFL product, I think that's

1662
01:15:25,800 --> 01:15:28,080
Speaker 3: a tough sell. I mean, that's probably lower prices. But

1663
01:15:28,120 --> 01:15:31,160
Speaker 3: if you dotted them around international sites where there's this

1664
01:15:31,320 --> 01:15:33,000
Speaker 3: growing fervor for football.

1665
01:15:33,040 --> 01:15:35,400
Speaker 5: There was some success, like some success on TV and

1666
01:15:35,439 --> 01:15:37,599
Speaker 5: some success with some of the teams like Saint Louis.

1667
01:15:37,880 --> 01:15:41,000
Speaker 5: That place was rocking. They missed their professional football. They

1668
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:44,080
Speaker 5: were packing it out. Uh, there was a few cities.

1669
01:15:44,080 --> 01:15:47,320
Speaker 5: So it's like, I don't know. I think professional football

1670
01:15:47,320 --> 01:15:49,880
Speaker 5: could use it though, because I think these players need

1671
01:15:49,880 --> 01:15:51,840
Speaker 5: a chance to develop and it's hard. It's hard the

1672
01:15:51,880 --> 01:15:55,040
Speaker 5: way the NFL offseason And Greg, I just did a little.

1673
01:15:55,040 --> 01:15:58,360
Speaker 1: Quick, little research on this. Yeah, so the average I'll

1674
01:15:58,439 --> 01:16:03,480
Speaker 1: use MLB Sunate night baseball gets one point five million eyeballs.

1675
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:10,320
Speaker 1: The championship game for USFL drew one point two million.

1676
01:16:10,840 --> 01:16:13,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, well that's that's a lot of people like.

1677
01:16:13,160 --> 01:16:16,080
Speaker 1: That's the championship game, is what I'm saying. So you

1678
01:16:16,120 --> 01:16:18,759
Speaker 1: have a whole season of games that are drawing maybe

1679
01:16:18,760 --> 01:16:19,400
Speaker 1: a quarter of.

1680
01:16:19,320 --> 01:16:21,280
Speaker 5: That or I'm just saying, like in a in a

1681
01:16:21,320 --> 01:16:24,600
Speaker 5: world where there's a lot of sports on television, that

1682
01:16:24,600 --> 01:16:26,280
Speaker 5: that goes over the bar of like.

1683
01:16:26,280 --> 01:16:28,599
Speaker 1: But that that's the championship game, is right?

1684
01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:32,320
Speaker 3: Well, I mean there's no argument that it's this roaring success.

1685
01:16:32,360 --> 01:16:34,719
Speaker 3: Half of those are probably just on in like lonely bars.

1686
01:16:35,479 --> 01:16:42,320
Speaker 5: All right, let's move on, thank you, all right, go ahead, Wait,

1687
01:16:42,360 --> 01:16:42,800
Speaker 5: who's up?

1688
01:16:42,840 --> 01:16:43,120
Speaker 1: It's me?

1689
01:16:43,200 --> 01:16:46,439
Speaker 3: I believe, Yes, I'm gonna go Tampa Bay at New Orleans.

1690
01:16:47,840 --> 01:16:51,880
Speaker 3: No Derek Carr, but I don't mind that. I'm kind

1691
01:16:51,880 --> 01:16:53,240
Speaker 3: of into Jameis Wins and I know he's a bit

1692
01:16:53,280 --> 01:16:53,960
Speaker 3: of a disasters.

1693
01:16:54,479 --> 01:16:57,000
Speaker 1: This is what we're doing, what we're into Jameis Wins.

1694
01:16:58,040 --> 01:17:00,360
Speaker 3: I mean, we're at the back end of picking game. Like,

1695
01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:02,519
Speaker 3: I don't think it's a crazy thing, I know, I

1696
01:17:02,640 --> 01:17:05,680
Speaker 3: just like there's other things going on here. Oh what

1697
01:17:06,640 --> 01:17:11,720
Speaker 3: the New Orleans defense eleven straight games allowing twenty or

1698
01:17:11,720 --> 01:17:15,000
Speaker 3: fewer points. I trust them against the Tampa Bay team

1699
01:17:15,640 --> 01:17:17,920
Speaker 3: that I do not trust on offense. Beyond Mike Evans.

1700
01:17:18,000 --> 01:17:22,439
Speaker 3: I think what happened the last Baker Mayfield appearance we saw,

1701
01:17:22,439 --> 01:17:23,720
Speaker 3: I think it is closer to the norm that we're

1702
01:17:23,720 --> 01:17:27,320
Speaker 3: gonna get from him. I really struggle to find a

1703
01:17:27,360 --> 01:17:29,519
Speaker 3: lock this week. But then I saw this game and

1704
01:17:29,520 --> 01:17:32,479
Speaker 3: I was like, I'm doing something a little weird because

1705
01:17:32,479 --> 01:17:36,080
Speaker 3: this these are two weird teams, but we're in New Orleans,

1706
01:17:36,080 --> 01:17:40,080
Speaker 3: one of the most like safe lock places to play.

1707
01:17:40,160 --> 01:17:43,559
Speaker 3: I think that New Orleans is an irritated, agitated team

1708
01:17:43,640 --> 01:17:45,800
Speaker 3: right now, and I'm gonna lock them up to take

1709
01:17:45,840 --> 01:17:47,920
Speaker 3: care of the Bucks. I don't trust the Bucks on

1710
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:51,080
Speaker 3: any level right now. I also don't trust my actual lock,

1711
01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:52,200
Speaker 3: but that's locked.

1712
01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:54,599
Speaker 1: Up against Baker two weeks in a row now. Last

1713
01:17:54,600 --> 01:17:56,120
Speaker 1: week I thought was a very strong lock.

1714
01:17:56,240 --> 01:17:57,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is shaky.

1715
01:17:57,880 --> 01:17:59,799
Speaker 1: This is the Saints with their backup quarterback.

1716
01:18:00,439 --> 01:18:03,240
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's fine. We have we have

1717
01:18:03,280 --> 01:18:05,880
Speaker 3: different I don't like I don't trust Derek Carr to

1718
01:18:05,920 --> 01:18:08,000
Speaker 3: go do anything either. So I'm different than you on

1719
01:18:08,080 --> 01:18:08,519
Speaker 3: Derek Carr.

1720
01:18:08,560 --> 01:18:10,360
Speaker 1: Derek Carr will give you like a kind of a

1721
01:18:10,400 --> 01:18:15,640
Speaker 1: professional middling to higher bar like Jameis Winston's where he

1722
01:18:15,720 --> 01:18:17,679
Speaker 1: is for a reason at this point. So I think

1723
01:18:17,680 --> 01:18:20,120
Speaker 1: it's a personally, I think it's a significant downgrade to

1724
01:18:20,200 --> 01:18:25,080
Speaker 1: quarterback and they just blew a seventeen nothing lead. I'd

1725
01:18:25,080 --> 01:18:25,840
Speaker 1: be worried about that.

1726
01:18:25,840 --> 01:18:27,559
Speaker 3: I'd argue they had a seventeen nothing lead.

1727
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:33,599
Speaker 1: And I will now in your favor, Alvin Kamara is back.

1728
01:18:33,840 --> 01:18:36,000
Speaker 3: Yep, yeah, Kamara, And like they kind of need that

1729
01:18:36,040 --> 01:18:37,679
Speaker 3: Taysom Hill was their leading rusher.

1730
01:18:38,160 --> 01:18:39,280
Speaker 4: Taysom Hills look good.

1731
01:18:39,360 --> 01:18:41,040
Speaker 5: I had, but I don't love that. I don't want

1732
01:18:41,080 --> 01:18:43,040
Speaker 5: my leading rusher to be Taysom now. But I like

1733
01:18:43,120 --> 01:18:45,599
Speaker 5: that they're not waiting around to involve him. I think

1734
01:18:45,600 --> 01:18:47,320
Speaker 5: there was like an issue of maybe car didn't want

1735
01:18:47,320 --> 01:18:48,920
Speaker 5: to come off the field and they didn't wait around

1736
01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:52,240
Speaker 5: last week, and Taysom Hill has been very effective for them.

1737
01:18:52,280 --> 01:18:54,879
Speaker 4: They just can't score in the red zone. Car.

1738
01:18:56,240 --> 01:18:58,800
Speaker 5: You know that that injury held onto the ball and

1739
01:18:59,120 --> 01:19:00,960
Speaker 5: for whatever reason, and they haven't scored in the red

1740
01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:03,640
Speaker 5: zone like they have moved the ball a ton And

1741
01:19:03,880 --> 01:19:06,679
Speaker 5: until this weekend, it's week versus week kind of went

1742
01:19:06,760 --> 01:19:09,400
Speaker 5: with their offensive line versus the Bucks pass rush.

1743
01:19:09,439 --> 01:19:11,800
Speaker 4: So which weak point?

1744
01:19:12,040 --> 01:19:15,599
Speaker 5: Uh wins out here because the Saints offensive line has

1745
01:19:15,680 --> 01:19:17,200
Speaker 5: really been a problem and it's a lot of guys

1746
01:19:17,240 --> 01:19:18,320
Speaker 5: that have been there for a while and a lot

1747
01:19:18,320 --> 01:19:19,800
Speaker 5: of guys making a decent amount of money.

1748
01:19:19,840 --> 01:19:22,839
Speaker 4: Ram check and they just paid Caesar Ruiz and McCoy

1749
01:19:22,960 --> 01:19:26,240
Speaker 4: and but they've been pretty bad and Ruiz has banged up.

1750
01:19:26,720 --> 01:19:29,840
Speaker 5: Jamis in a revenge game against his old team where

1751
01:19:29,840 --> 01:19:34,080
Speaker 5: he's feeling feelings and oh he'll be throwing under pressure.

1752
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:37,200
Speaker 5: Makes me a little nervous. But I trust that the Saints.

1753
01:19:37,240 --> 01:19:39,080
Speaker 5: I'm with you that the Saints defense is the best

1754
01:19:39,080 --> 01:19:41,320
Speaker 5: group in this game. Yeah, they're given the Bucks three points.

1755
01:19:41,360 --> 01:19:44,000
Speaker 5: I think that's fair. I don't trust. I don't trust

1756
01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:46,800
Speaker 5: this Bucks offense at all, and there is a tough

1757
01:19:46,800 --> 01:19:48,599
Speaker 5: matchup against the Saints defense is good.

1758
01:19:48,640 --> 01:19:52,280
Speaker 1: The Saints were ten game minutes away on Sunday from

1759
01:19:52,320 --> 01:19:54,920
Speaker 1: getting the treatment that the Browns defense is getting this week,

1760
01:19:55,720 --> 01:20:00,160
Speaker 1: because they had been amazing until Jordan Love started going

1761
01:20:00,240 --> 01:20:02,080
Speaker 1: up and down the field on those last couple of drives.

1762
01:20:02,080 --> 01:20:02,960
Speaker 1: So yeah, they've been.

1763
01:20:02,880 --> 01:20:07,160
Speaker 5: A a couple of crazy pr PI calls that to

1764
01:20:07,240 --> 01:20:10,880
Speaker 5: me change that game. Maybe the worst call of the

1765
01:20:10,920 --> 01:20:13,599
Speaker 5: season was that first long PI call on the Saints

1766
01:20:13,640 --> 01:20:18,080
Speaker 5: change second. Carlton Davis and Jamel Dean both might be out.

1767
01:20:18,640 --> 01:20:21,200
Speaker 5: Davis might be returning this week. He's missed a couple weeks,

1768
01:20:21,200 --> 01:20:24,280
Speaker 5: but that's their two starting cornerbacks for the.

1769
01:20:24,280 --> 01:20:26,320
Speaker 4: Buccaneers against pretty good ride receivers.

1770
01:20:26,400 --> 01:20:29,639
Speaker 3: Saints have not allowed a three hundred yard passer since

1771
01:20:29,680 --> 01:20:31,759
Speaker 3: Week nine of twenty twenty one. I mean this defense

1772
01:20:31,760 --> 01:20:34,000
Speaker 3: has been consistent of the defense that gave Tom Brady

1773
01:20:34,040 --> 01:20:34,679
Speaker 3: a lot of trouble.

1774
01:20:35,400 --> 01:20:37,479
Speaker 1: I think this it's.

1775
01:20:37,400 --> 01:20:40,000
Speaker 5: Also the organa tough fourth quarter the same Yeah, it

1776
01:20:40,040 --> 01:20:42,400
Speaker 5: was also the organization that managed to lose that game.

1777
01:20:42,479 --> 01:20:45,599
Speaker 4: Somehow. There is something about this team well that they just.

1778
01:20:45,760 --> 01:20:48,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, there is probably a room on the Broncos bandwagon

1779
01:20:48,240 --> 01:20:48,439
Speaker 1: right now.

1780
01:20:48,479 --> 01:20:50,840
Speaker 3: I would just say, like I will say, this place SMaL.

1781
01:20:51,040 --> 01:20:53,400
Speaker 3: This will impact Greg in our office because I what

1782
01:20:53,439 --> 01:20:56,799
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do next. I'm gonna view as a charitable thing. Okay,

1783
01:20:57,720 --> 01:20:59,679
Speaker 3: because I have the next pick too, it doesn't matter.

1784
01:21:00,520 --> 01:21:03,439
Speaker 3: I'm gonna take the Vikings at Carolina. I could have

1785
01:21:03,479 --> 01:21:05,880
Speaker 3: taken Shooks Pittsburgh at Houston game, but I'm not gonna

1786
01:21:05,880 --> 01:21:07,639
Speaker 3: do that after last week's flairing.

1787
01:21:07,880 --> 01:21:10,000
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter anyway. See, we're giving him a third game.

1788
01:21:10,040 --> 01:21:11,760
Speaker 1: Wait, we have two loser home go home.

1789
01:21:11,800 --> 01:21:16,439
Speaker 5: Let us Yes, this is another loser goes Oh wow, Okay,

1790
01:21:17,400 --> 01:21:18,760
Speaker 5: I I.

1791
01:21:18,680 --> 01:21:23,240
Speaker 3: Think the Vikings are just a far superior team to Carolina.

1792
01:21:23,320 --> 01:21:26,599
Speaker 3: I mean they they came back against the Eagles. They've

1793
01:21:26,640 --> 01:21:28,959
Speaker 3: been in these games. They're kind of getting the football

1794
01:21:28,960 --> 01:21:31,519
Speaker 3: gods like slap in the face, and these one score

1795
01:21:32,320 --> 01:21:35,880
Speaker 3: losses three in a row after last year's absurdity. It's

1796
01:21:35,880 --> 01:21:38,080
Speaker 3: been their turnover still. They have the most in the league,

1797
01:21:38,160 --> 01:21:42,000
Speaker 3: the most fumbles, the worst turnover margin. Kirk Cousins also

1798
01:21:42,120 --> 01:21:44,080
Speaker 3: leads the league with three hundred and fifty eight yards

1799
01:21:44,120 --> 01:21:46,920
Speaker 3: per game and nine touchdowns. It's like they've got weapons.

1800
01:21:46,960 --> 01:21:49,439
Speaker 3: You've still got the best wide receiver in football. I

1801
01:21:50,120 --> 01:21:53,519
Speaker 3: don't know what Carolina can really do to counter this.

1802
01:21:54,320 --> 01:21:56,280
Speaker 3: You're gonna get Bryce Young back. It sounds like he

1803
01:21:56,320 --> 01:21:58,280
Speaker 3: hasn't thrown for more than one hundred and sixty yards

1804
01:21:58,280 --> 01:22:00,320
Speaker 3: in either of his two starts. I think the better

1805
01:22:00,320 --> 01:22:02,360
Speaker 3: team with Andy Dalton, but you're not gonna play any Dalton.

1806
01:22:02,360 --> 01:22:02,720
Speaker 4: I get that.

1807
01:22:03,600 --> 01:22:05,639
Speaker 3: I think Frank Reich's in a tough spot. There aren't

1808
01:22:05,640 --> 01:22:07,200
Speaker 3: a lot of weapons around Bryce Song. It's like you're

1809
01:22:07,200 --> 01:22:10,479
Speaker 3: gonna argue that the Vikings can be vulnerable here. It's like,

1810
01:22:10,680 --> 01:22:13,519
Speaker 3: what is it about Carolina that tells you that they're

1811
01:22:13,520 --> 01:22:15,040
Speaker 3: banged up on defense?

1812
01:22:15,120 --> 01:22:15,559
Speaker 4: Right now?

1813
01:22:16,080 --> 01:22:18,400
Speaker 3: I just kind of like the idea of Minnesota course

1814
01:22:18,439 --> 01:22:22,160
Speaker 3: correcting getting this right. You know, the last team that

1815
01:22:22,240 --> 01:22:24,120
Speaker 3: went to the playoffs after an no and four start.

1816
01:22:24,640 --> 01:22:26,519
Speaker 3: I remember this team because I'm a little older than

1817
01:22:26,520 --> 01:22:29,559
Speaker 3: you guys, be probably only one right, the nineteen ninety

1818
01:22:29,560 --> 01:22:31,880
Speaker 3: two Chargers. It is the last and only team that

1819
01:22:31,920 --> 01:22:34,240
Speaker 3: ever did that. The Stan humphreyes Bobby Ross team, you

1820
01:22:34,280 --> 01:22:36,240
Speaker 3: guys would have been about maybe twelve or somely.

1821
01:22:36,080 --> 01:22:39,160
Speaker 4: The thirteen for a little Chargers Stan humph.

1822
01:22:41,400 --> 01:22:42,920
Speaker 1: They went to the Super Bowl couple years later, with

1823
01:22:43,640 --> 01:22:44,160
Speaker 1: I was I.

1824
01:22:44,120 --> 01:22:46,519
Speaker 5: Wasn't tracking that team that closely while I was making

1825
01:22:46,520 --> 01:22:49,000
Speaker 5: my Sunday afternoon trips to grand Grandpa's house.

1826
01:22:49,040 --> 01:22:52,840
Speaker 1: But I almost want to shoot. I always want to

1827
01:22:52,920 --> 01:22:54,760
Speaker 1: jump out of my locks. I love the vikings in

1828
01:22:54,800 --> 01:22:55,160
Speaker 1: this game.

1829
01:22:55,240 --> 01:23:00,559
Speaker 3: Right, wait a minute, I'm gonna jump out of my lock.

1830
01:23:00,640 --> 01:23:02,400
Speaker 3: Forget the Saints. I'm taking the vikings.

1831
01:23:03,840 --> 01:23:05,280
Speaker 4: This is ridiculous. No, it's not.

1832
01:23:06,160 --> 01:23:09,080
Speaker 3: I'm taking the vikings. They're gonna go into Marolina.

1833
01:23:08,680 --> 01:23:13,120
Speaker 4: And the sound effect. Ready, that's okay, come on it.

1834
01:23:13,360 --> 01:23:14,720
Speaker 3: I don't even know if they played it last time,

1835
01:23:14,760 --> 01:23:15,600
Speaker 3: Like that's okay.

1836
01:23:15,640 --> 01:23:19,879
Speaker 1: Something about this game that just gets under Greg's what

1837
01:23:19,880 --> 01:23:22,200
Speaker 1: what game? This game? This lock game? It's just something

1838
01:23:22,200 --> 01:23:22,559
Speaker 1: about you.

1839
01:23:22,640 --> 01:23:23,280
Speaker 4: Know, this is fun.

1840
01:23:23,360 --> 01:23:27,000
Speaker 5: I like it actually because I I don't want the

1841
01:23:27,080 --> 01:23:29,760
Speaker 5: Saints to be cruising though Sunday out.

1842
01:23:29,840 --> 01:23:31,599
Speaker 4: I'm actually, you know what, it's self interest.

1843
01:23:32,520 --> 01:23:35,639
Speaker 1: Payton, Mark Sassel, you and I ride to Valhalla.

1844
01:23:35,920 --> 01:23:36,639
Speaker 4: Yes we will.

1845
01:23:36,800 --> 01:23:38,479
Speaker 1: We're locking them together. Let's go.

1846
01:23:39,000 --> 01:23:39,880
Speaker 4: We did this last year.

1847
01:23:39,920 --> 01:23:41,639
Speaker 3: I think our record was like five and one when

1848
01:23:41,640 --> 01:23:42,880
Speaker 3: we when we joined the books.

1849
01:23:42,920 --> 01:23:44,880
Speaker 4: I am not rooting for Sean Payton. Let me pass

1850
01:23:45,320 --> 01:23:46,320
Speaker 4: the room for one more.

1851
01:23:46,960 --> 01:23:47,280
Speaker 1: Sure.

1852
01:23:47,360 --> 01:23:49,360
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I got a text from.

1853
01:23:51,600 --> 01:23:54,040
Speaker 4: This is good. This did not come from him, but

1854
01:23:54,760 --> 01:23:57,200
Speaker 4: Mackie phil Soon picked the Vikings.

1855
01:23:57,240 --> 01:24:01,160
Speaker 1: This he's the is this of the bunch I find

1856
01:24:02,600 --> 01:24:04,600
Speaker 1: the most intellectually seasoned.

1857
01:24:04,760 --> 01:24:09,599
Speaker 5: Although he is in our kids Fantasy League and Return

1858
01:24:09,640 --> 01:24:13,559
Speaker 5: of the Mac Great Fantasy Name. That is by Mackie

1859
01:24:14,800 --> 01:24:17,639
Speaker 5: taking a pretty big l to both my kids last year.

1860
01:24:17,680 --> 01:24:22,000
Speaker 1: I have to say, Okay, that's a good point.

1861
01:24:22,360 --> 01:24:23,280
Speaker 4: He takes us straight.

1862
01:24:23,280 --> 01:24:25,040
Speaker 3: And why do you need to tell like two hundred

1863
01:24:25,040 --> 01:24:25,799
Speaker 3: thousand people.

1864
01:24:25,640 --> 01:24:30,960
Speaker 1: Then, and I will point out that, you know, Nick

1865
01:24:31,040 --> 01:24:35,519
Speaker 1: has been pretty quiet now since that failed lock that

1866
01:24:35,640 --> 01:24:38,760
Speaker 1: big day. I'm just gonna leave it there, just he's

1867
01:24:38,800 --> 01:24:39,639
Speaker 1: been quiet, not.

1868
01:24:39,640 --> 01:24:42,599
Speaker 5: A lot of honking this. This makes sense as a

1869
01:24:42,600 --> 01:24:46,160
Speaker 5: as a lock. Kirk Cousins, I think, on balance is

1870
01:24:46,200 --> 01:24:48,439
Speaker 5: playing better this year than last year. I don't even

1871
01:24:48,400 --> 01:24:50,840
Speaker 5: think that's a hot take. My take all last year

1872
01:24:50,920 --> 01:24:55,280
Speaker 5: was this is sneaky, like one of kirk Cousins' worst

1873
01:24:55,280 --> 01:24:57,479
Speaker 5: seasons in Minnesota, except he's been balling out in the

1874
01:24:57,479 --> 01:24:59,040
Speaker 5: fourth quarter and that does make up for it.

1875
01:24:59,080 --> 01:25:00,719
Speaker 4: But this year he has been good. I think he's

1876
01:25:00,720 --> 01:25:04,840
Speaker 4: been really good. Inconsistent. Yeah, this year, gotcha.

1877
01:25:05,080 --> 01:25:08,400
Speaker 5: They're by far the best group in this game, and

1878
01:25:08,439 --> 01:25:12,400
Speaker 5: now you've added a big time weapon in Addison. I'm

1879
01:25:12,439 --> 01:25:16,280
Speaker 5: really impressed and by Jordan Addison because he's nailing like

1880
01:25:16,320 --> 01:25:18,680
Speaker 5: the timing routes where it's anticipation and you can tell

1881
01:25:18,760 --> 01:25:20,599
Speaker 5: kirk Cousins trusts him. He's letting go to the ball

1882
01:25:20,600 --> 01:25:23,639
Speaker 5: before Addison even makes his breaks, and it's just like, wow,

1883
01:25:23,680 --> 01:25:25,240
Speaker 5: we got a nice number two here, we got a

1884
01:25:25,320 --> 01:25:26,120
Speaker 5: nice number three.

1885
01:25:26,320 --> 01:25:27,360
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm with you, guys.

1886
01:25:27,640 --> 01:25:31,400
Speaker 5: I am the the world's you know, second biggest Panthers fan.

1887
01:25:31,439 --> 01:25:33,519
Speaker 5: Though this week, I mean I'm rooting against three locks.

1888
01:25:33,600 --> 01:25:36,599
Speaker 5: Knock all these guys out. This would be great. Let's go.

1889
01:25:38,800 --> 01:25:39,439
Speaker 1: You and oh.

1890
01:25:39,560 --> 01:25:43,160
Speaker 4: Please, I want you Toppy. Yes, I'm sure you'll be

1891
01:25:43,240 --> 01:25:46,320
Speaker 4: rooting for you know, in the Patriots. That's what you'll

1892
01:25:46,320 --> 01:25:47,240
Speaker 4: be doing this week.

1893
01:25:48,640 --> 01:25:51,360
Speaker 1: All right up, next last pick for me, I will

1894
01:25:51,400 --> 01:25:56,679
Speaker 1: grab this an easy one, Cincinnati at Tennessee. It's it's tough.

1895
01:25:56,720 --> 01:25:58,559
Speaker 1: It's tough. We talked about it in a month. It's tough

1896
01:25:58,600 --> 01:26:02,040
Speaker 1: watching Joe Burrow. This is just gonna be a thing.

1897
01:26:02,200 --> 01:26:05,479
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a thing. And I still He had

1898
01:26:05,600 --> 01:26:10,479
Speaker 1: a quote that I really thought summed up nicely what

1899
01:26:10,640 --> 01:26:12,760
Speaker 1: I kind of thought where his headspace was and where

1900
01:26:12,800 --> 01:26:14,760
Speaker 1: the team was going into week three because they were

1901
01:26:14,800 --> 01:26:17,920
Speaker 1: owned two and they said, you know how you feeling,

1902
01:26:18,000 --> 01:26:19,880
Speaker 1: and like, why did you choose to play? I don't

1903
01:26:19,920 --> 01:26:21,840
Speaker 1: know the exact frame of the question, but he's like,

1904
01:26:23,320 --> 01:26:25,240
Speaker 1: my leg the way it feels right now, it's a

1905
01:26:25,280 --> 01:26:26,960
Speaker 1: lot better than oh and three would have felt if

1906
01:26:27,000 --> 01:26:29,559
Speaker 1: I didn't play. So it's like that kind of in

1907
01:26:29,600 --> 01:26:31,439
Speaker 1: a way told me that if they were two and

1908
01:26:31,479 --> 01:26:34,320
Speaker 1: oh instead of owned two. I wonder if he's actually

1909
01:26:34,640 --> 01:26:36,599
Speaker 1: they're doing the thing that they probably should be doing,

1910
01:26:36,640 --> 01:26:38,960
Speaker 1: which is just getting him out of the picture for

1911
01:26:39,000 --> 01:26:40,960
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. But when you put yourself in

1912
01:26:41,000 --> 01:26:43,880
Speaker 1: that early hole in a very competitive division and you

1913
01:26:43,960 --> 01:26:46,200
Speaker 1: have it's super Bowl or bust kind of in Sinsey,

1914
01:26:46,680 --> 01:26:49,559
Speaker 1: you all these outside things come in and there's Burrow

1915
01:26:49,600 --> 01:26:53,639
Speaker 1: limping around quick, working out of shotgun the entire game,

1916
01:26:54,040 --> 01:26:56,680
Speaker 1: ball out of his hands, totally changing the way the

1917
01:26:56,800 --> 01:26:59,680
Speaker 1: offense is. Is going to get better this week? Or

1918
01:26:59,760 --> 01:27:01,920
Speaker 1: is this just what it is now and the way

1919
01:27:01,960 --> 01:27:04,040
Speaker 1: it will be until God, I don't want to say it,

1920
01:27:04,080 --> 01:27:06,160
Speaker 1: but until the calf goes out and he's fourced out

1921
01:27:06,200 --> 01:27:09,519
Speaker 1: of the lineup. The good news is Tennessee two out

1922
01:27:09,520 --> 01:27:13,439
Speaker 1: of three weeks has been pitiful Offensively. They are a

1923
01:27:13,479 --> 01:27:16,400
Speaker 1: defense that I would be frightened as a Bengals fan

1924
01:27:16,439 --> 01:27:19,680
Speaker 1: that I'm going on the road against that mean defensive

1925
01:27:19,720 --> 01:27:22,439
Speaker 1: line and Joe Burrow again is going to have to

1926
01:27:22,439 --> 01:27:24,960
Speaker 1: get the ball out quickly. And Mike Vrabel knows what

1927
01:27:25,000 --> 01:27:27,639
Speaker 1: he's doing over there, so he's probably going to say, oh,

1928
01:27:27,680 --> 01:27:29,479
Speaker 1: I watched that Monday game. I know what they're going

1929
01:27:29,560 --> 01:27:31,639
Speaker 1: to try to do here, and I think what we're

1930
01:27:31,640 --> 01:27:35,280
Speaker 1: gonna do here is whatever that under is. There's no

1931
01:27:35,400 --> 01:27:38,280
Speaker 1: I don't rain make over here, but this is a

1932
01:27:38,360 --> 01:27:40,760
Speaker 1: forty one and a half under. I think this is

1933
01:27:40,800 --> 01:27:44,120
Speaker 1: screaming out as like a sixteen to thirteen type game,

1934
01:27:45,800 --> 01:27:48,840
Speaker 1: Bengals again battle tested. But also I think this is

1935
01:27:48,880 --> 01:27:50,519
Speaker 1: a tough spot. I think the Titans have a chance

1936
01:27:50,520 --> 01:27:53,880
Speaker 1: to get a big win for them. With Cincinnati being

1937
01:27:53,880 --> 01:27:54,960
Speaker 1: as compromised as they are.

1938
01:27:55,040 --> 01:27:57,200
Speaker 3: This feels I'm with you that this feels like such

1939
01:27:57,200 --> 01:28:01,640
Speaker 3: a tight contest. I do like the I mean, Tennessee

1940
01:28:01,760 --> 01:28:05,080
Speaker 3: has shown an absolute vulnerability on offense, and I don't

1941
01:28:05,080 --> 01:28:07,800
Speaker 3: think you need to be a top five defense to

1942
01:28:07,800 --> 01:28:10,439
Speaker 3: shut him down. They just they lack weapons. I think

1943
01:28:10,439 --> 01:28:12,759
Speaker 3: it's easy to get Tannehill office spot in this situation

1944
01:28:12,840 --> 01:28:16,200
Speaker 3: behind an offensive line that's really wanting, and I mean

1945
01:28:16,280 --> 01:28:18,240
Speaker 3: Trey Hendrickson has been one of the best free agent

1946
01:28:18,360 --> 01:28:22,200
Speaker 3: signings around of the last couple of years, dominant against

1947
01:28:22,240 --> 01:28:24,920
Speaker 3: the Rams, Logan Wilson dominant, and I just think that

1948
01:28:25,000 --> 01:28:27,760
Speaker 3: the consistency that this defense has, they're gonna have to

1949
01:28:27,800 --> 01:28:29,240
Speaker 3: ride it because I think their offense is going to

1950
01:28:29,280 --> 01:28:31,360
Speaker 3: be a tough watch. And you're right, the calf might

1951
01:28:31,400 --> 01:28:32,840
Speaker 3: go at some point or we're just not gonna get

1952
01:28:32,840 --> 01:28:34,920
Speaker 3: the burrow that we're used to. But I do trust

1953
01:28:34,920 --> 01:28:37,559
Speaker 3: this defense to win tight games like this, to do

1954
01:28:37,600 --> 01:28:39,559
Speaker 3: what they did against the Rams when you play an

1955
01:28:39,560 --> 01:28:42,479
Speaker 3: offensive line like Tennessee. I think they're in a bit

1956
01:28:42,520 --> 01:28:43,240
Speaker 3: of tough spot here.

1957
01:28:43,320 --> 01:28:45,720
Speaker 1: I hate to say it, but it doesn't it feel inevitable,

1958
01:28:45,920 --> 01:28:49,200
Speaker 1: Like if they continue to just send him out there.

1959
01:28:49,200 --> 01:28:50,920
Speaker 3: Isn't it hard? It's like the kind of injury it's

1960
01:28:50,960 --> 01:28:52,840
Speaker 3: hard to watch because he's like they're gunning it on

1961
01:28:52,880 --> 01:28:54,960
Speaker 3: the sideline, he said, moving well.

1962
01:28:55,000 --> 01:28:58,600
Speaker 5: He said, the calfs should get better every week. I

1963
01:28:58,600 --> 01:29:01,479
Speaker 5: should be able to do more every week, as long

1964
01:29:01,560 --> 01:29:02,560
Speaker 5: as I don't.

1965
01:29:02,760 --> 01:29:03,639
Speaker 4: Aggravate it again.

1966
01:29:03,920 --> 01:29:06,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, but which he managed to avoid last week, and

1967
01:29:06,800 --> 01:29:08,559
Speaker 5: he managed to avoid I guess the first few weeks

1968
01:29:08,560 --> 01:29:12,240
Speaker 5: because this injury really was never gone. And that's what

1969
01:29:12,320 --> 01:29:16,080
Speaker 5: people were saying from the very beginning. I think it's

1970
01:29:16,200 --> 01:29:19,120
Speaker 5: very limiting. I'm with you, Dan, like he maybe he's

1971
01:29:19,160 --> 01:29:23,240
Speaker 5: better this week, but this is a much better opposition

1972
01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:25,680
Speaker 5: in terms of the defense that he's facing, the defensive

1973
01:29:25,840 --> 01:29:28,720
Speaker 5: coaching staff, that he's facing, the defensive line, and yeah,

1974
01:29:28,760 --> 01:29:32,120
Speaker 5: this this thing's gonna be ugly as hell. And Andre

1975
01:29:32,240 --> 01:29:35,599
Speaker 5: Dillard has been killing the the Titans at left tackle

1976
01:29:35,960 --> 01:29:40,120
Speaker 5: for multiple games, and that's where Hendrickson's gonna be lined up.

1977
01:29:40,320 --> 01:29:44,280
Speaker 5: It feels like every completion Ryan Tannehill has is like, wow,

1978
01:29:44,320 --> 01:29:47,360
Speaker 5: that was amazing. Like every completion is like him getting

1979
01:29:47,640 --> 01:29:51,719
Speaker 5: crushed and some receiver having to make a great catch,

1980
01:29:52,240 --> 01:29:54,240
Speaker 5: like while he's well covered. That's not a way to

1981
01:29:54,280 --> 01:29:56,479
Speaker 5: run an offense. Like you hit four of those a game,

1982
01:29:56,520 --> 01:29:57,760
Speaker 5: and everything else is just.

1983
01:29:57,720 --> 01:29:58,439
Speaker 4: Like so hard.

1984
01:29:58,600 --> 01:30:00,519
Speaker 3: They were that way last year a lot, and that's

1985
01:30:00,520 --> 01:30:02,719
Speaker 3: how Tannehill winds up out of the lineup.

1986
01:30:02,760 --> 01:30:03,639
Speaker 4: Give me some more mixin.

1987
01:30:03,720 --> 01:30:05,519
Speaker 5: I know the Titans are a good run defense, but

1988
01:30:05,600 --> 01:30:09,040
Speaker 5: Mixon has been looking a few years younger this year.

1989
01:30:09,120 --> 01:30:12,200
Speaker 4: I like the way Joe Mixon's running that ball, running

1990
01:30:12,200 --> 01:30:13,679
Speaker 4: that rock. Big game.

1991
01:30:13,760 --> 01:30:15,360
Speaker 5: This is sneaky, actually one of the biggest games of

1992
01:30:15,360 --> 01:30:17,960
Speaker 5: the week because it's a in theory Super Bowl contender

1993
01:30:18,520 --> 01:30:20,400
Speaker 5: that could really be put in a tough spot.

1994
01:30:20,439 --> 01:30:23,679
Speaker 1: I think, yes, I hope he's okay. I just feel

1995
01:30:23,720 --> 01:30:27,559
Speaker 1: like we are heading towards something unpleasant.

1996
01:30:27,160 --> 01:30:27,799
Speaker 4: On the brink.

1997
01:30:29,120 --> 01:30:32,960
Speaker 1: All right, one more game, Greg, Oh, there is Pittsburgh

1998
01:30:32,960 --> 01:30:33,479
Speaker 1: at Houston.

1999
01:30:33,520 --> 01:30:36,320
Speaker 5: I thought we were doing Pittsburgh at Houston. Fun one

2000
01:30:36,600 --> 01:30:39,720
Speaker 5: uh and involves C. J. Stroud and right now.

2001
01:30:39,760 --> 01:30:40,040
Speaker 1: C J.

2002
01:30:40,120 --> 01:30:43,320
Speaker 5: Stroud is one of these stories of the twenty twenty

2003
01:30:43,320 --> 01:30:43,880
Speaker 5: three seasons.

2004
01:30:43,920 --> 01:30:44,920
Speaker 4: I think that's fair to say.

2005
01:30:45,000 --> 01:30:51,479
Speaker 5: Sure, his pocket movement, his decision making, he's one of

2006
01:30:51,479 --> 01:30:55,960
Speaker 5: those guys right now when you freeze the tape at

2007
01:30:55,960 --> 01:30:58,400
Speaker 5: the back of his drop, you think, Okay, where's he going?

2008
01:30:59,160 --> 01:31:02,840
Speaker 5: And he makes a rising decisions where he'll anticipate and

2009
01:31:02,920 --> 01:31:05,639
Speaker 5: he'll throw it down the field. He'll make the tougher

2010
01:31:05,680 --> 01:31:09,160
Speaker 5: throw like he's not just taking check downs, he's he's

2011
01:31:09,240 --> 01:31:12,320
Speaker 5: looking at the coverage. And man, I think this stuff

2012
01:31:12,360 --> 01:31:16,400
Speaker 5: is really translatable. I think he's played as well in

2013
01:31:16,439 --> 01:31:20,960
Speaker 5: his first three games entering the league as anyone you know,

2014
01:31:21,040 --> 01:31:23,720
Speaker 5: since Herbert since you know, Burrow had kind of a

2015
01:31:23,760 --> 01:31:27,080
Speaker 5: weird start, but Burrow too, And I'm not trying to

2016
01:31:27,080 --> 01:31:29,360
Speaker 5: steal any points or dan Orlofsky said it, and when

2017
01:31:29,360 --> 01:31:31,479
Speaker 5: he said it, it clicked into me that Stroud reminds

2018
01:31:31,520 --> 01:31:33,360
Speaker 5: him a lot of Burrow, and I think that's right.

2019
01:31:33,400 --> 01:31:35,880
Speaker 5: I think they they win in similar sort of ways.

2020
01:31:35,880 --> 01:31:39,160
Speaker 5: They have a similar level of athleticism. That's enough.

2021
01:31:39,280 --> 01:31:41,800
Speaker 1: Can we get just like a trigger warning? What ear

2022
01:31:41,880 --> 01:31:43,320
Speaker 1: muffs the Panthers fans right now?

2023
01:31:44,200 --> 01:31:44,720
Speaker 4: Well, I'm not.

2024
01:31:45,040 --> 01:31:48,920
Speaker 5: To me, Stroud looking great isn't anything about Bryce Young.

2025
01:31:49,040 --> 01:31:51,200
Speaker 5: I'm willing to just see what is going to happen.

2026
01:31:52,040 --> 01:31:55,479
Speaker 1: I'm just Stroud in the potential class of a guy

2027
01:31:55,680 --> 01:31:59,240
Speaker 1: or yeah, of Burrow, and it's like, oh, you better

2028
01:31:59,280 --> 01:32:00,240
Speaker 1: be good Bryce, right.

2029
01:32:00,280 --> 01:32:02,840
Speaker 5: And I'm not even putting like Stroud that he's gonna

2030
01:32:02,920 --> 01:32:05,240
Speaker 5: but the stuff that he does to me is like

2031
01:32:05,439 --> 01:32:07,800
Speaker 5: quarterbacky stuff, like like that what I was talking about

2032
01:32:07,800 --> 01:32:10,559
Speaker 5: with Dak before, where it's like, man, that stuff translate.

2033
01:32:10,600 --> 01:32:12,439
Speaker 5: It's a type of quarterback I like. Gino to me

2034
01:32:12,560 --> 01:32:14,600
Speaker 5: is one of those types of quarterbacks. Phil Rivers was

2035
01:32:14,640 --> 01:32:16,639
Speaker 5: one one of those types of quarterbacks where you can

2036
01:32:16,680 --> 01:32:18,639
Speaker 5: just see it where he's doing some next level stuff

2037
01:32:18,680 --> 01:32:19,080
Speaker 5: right away.

2038
01:32:19,200 --> 01:32:19,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, like he.

2039
01:32:20,320 --> 01:32:24,040
Speaker 1: Looks into like here's some Hall of famers or potential

2040
01:32:24,080 --> 01:32:24,519
Speaker 1: Hall famers.

2041
01:32:24,600 --> 01:32:26,599
Speaker 4: Now, that's actually what I was trying to do.

2042
01:32:26,840 --> 01:32:29,000
Speaker 5: I was trying to bring back like I'm not just

2043
01:32:29,080 --> 01:32:31,439
Speaker 5: saying he's gonna be a top five quarterback. I'm saying

2044
01:32:31,479 --> 01:32:33,360
Speaker 5: the type of quarterback is. And then I brought a

2045
01:32:33,400 --> 01:32:35,400
Speaker 5: couple other ones out like Rivers in Gina.

2046
01:32:35,479 --> 01:32:37,240
Speaker 3: I just think it's so impressive when you're doing it

2047
01:32:37,280 --> 01:32:39,439
Speaker 3: like right away, he's also like you just want a

2048
01:32:39,479 --> 01:32:42,760
Speaker 3: rookie to not like create problems and mistakes, like no

2049
01:32:42,880 --> 01:32:45,320
Speaker 3: interceptions through one hundred and twenty one pass attempts, the

2050
01:32:45,360 --> 01:32:47,719
Speaker 3: first quarterback to do in his first three starts, going

2051
01:32:47,760 --> 01:32:49,639
Speaker 3: back to Warren Moon. I mean, it's like, and Warren

2052
01:32:49,640 --> 01:32:52,200
Speaker 3: Moon hit the NFL is not a rookie. It's this

2053
01:32:52,320 --> 01:32:54,400
Speaker 3: is like it looks like the way he's so far

2054
01:32:54,400 --> 01:32:57,240
Speaker 3: ahead of Picket, it kind of that's what like obviously

2055
01:32:57,320 --> 01:32:59,960
Speaker 3: he's pickets something. The way he throws the ball, you

2056
01:33:00,120 --> 01:33:02,320
Speaker 3: can just see it. And like, you know, people are

2057
01:33:02,360 --> 01:33:04,920
Speaker 3: very low, low expectations about this offense, but you can

2058
01:33:04,960 --> 01:33:07,120
Speaker 3: see their weapons and some of their wide receivers starting

2059
01:33:07,160 --> 01:33:09,479
Speaker 3: to play better. It sounds like they won't have Laramy

2060
01:33:09,479 --> 01:33:11,639
Speaker 3: Tunzel this week, but like Jalen Peetrace sounds like he'll

2061
01:33:11,640 --> 01:33:14,040
Speaker 3: play potentially. Like that's big on defense, and it's like

2062
01:33:14,439 --> 01:33:16,000
Speaker 3: I don't trust the Steelers offense.

2063
01:33:16,760 --> 01:33:18,760
Speaker 5: I do trust their defense though, and so don't come

2064
01:33:18,800 --> 01:33:22,559
Speaker 5: back to meet people Steelers fans when if Strout has

2065
01:33:22,600 --> 01:33:24,679
Speaker 5: one hundred and sixty yards and a pick this week,

2066
01:33:24,760 --> 01:33:28,160
Speaker 5: Like they've been very lucky the types of pass rushers

2067
01:33:28,160 --> 01:33:31,120
Speaker 5: they've gone against. And he's been protected well enough. I

2068
01:33:31,160 --> 01:33:33,479
Speaker 5: don't know if that continues this week, where the Steelers

2069
01:33:33,520 --> 01:33:34,519
Speaker 5: could just dominate and.

2070
01:33:34,479 --> 01:33:37,840
Speaker 1: You and you know, you could hide a young quarterback

2071
01:33:37,960 --> 01:33:39,760
Speaker 1: like the Falcons did at the end of last year

2072
01:33:39,760 --> 01:33:41,320
Speaker 1: with Ritter and it's like, oh, he's not he's not

2073
01:33:41,360 --> 01:33:44,439
Speaker 1: turning the ball over, and but with he's not really

2074
01:33:44,520 --> 01:33:46,519
Speaker 1: doing anything either, like c J. Stroud, I think is

2075
01:33:46,600 --> 01:33:50,720
Speaker 1: like pushing the ball downfield. He's he's accurate as advertised,

2076
01:33:50,880 --> 01:33:54,160
Speaker 1: and yeah, his supporting cast isn't great, but it's all

2077
01:33:54,160 --> 01:33:57,680
Speaker 1: a much like guys like you know, Nico Collins.

2078
01:33:57,280 --> 01:34:00,000
Speaker 4: He's kind of doing something. I like them, Robert Woods,

2079
01:34:00,080 --> 01:34:01,519
Speaker 4: I like, take a role here.

2080
01:34:01,640 --> 01:34:04,840
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz is fine, like these Damian Pierce, although it's

2081
01:34:04,840 --> 01:34:06,920
Speaker 1: been a slow start. Like these are all guys that

2082
01:34:07,320 --> 01:34:12,320
Speaker 1: with a good quarterback, a productive quarterback, that offense will

2083
01:34:12,320 --> 01:34:15,360
Speaker 1: score points. And right now they have that, so you know,

2084
01:34:15,760 --> 01:34:17,679
Speaker 1: you take that and then you say, oh, Will Anderson

2085
01:34:17,720 --> 01:34:21,400
Speaker 1: had another huge play last week the blockfield goal. And

2086
01:34:21,720 --> 01:34:23,679
Speaker 1: I know we don't like to hand out any flowers

2087
01:34:23,680 --> 01:34:26,880
Speaker 1: to Houston's front office, but they might have nailed the

2088
01:34:27,720 --> 01:34:33,040
Speaker 1: most important first round of their draft since you know years.

2089
01:34:33,160 --> 01:34:34,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they've been like in a coaching abyss, and

2090
01:34:34,960 --> 01:34:37,640
Speaker 3: I think Tamiko Ryans like it seems like he's a

2091
01:34:37,680 --> 01:34:38,439
Speaker 3: difference making.

2092
01:34:38,320 --> 01:34:39,080
Speaker 1: So those are so good.

2093
01:34:39,160 --> 01:34:41,960
Speaker 3: Bobby Slowick has been a good offensive cornator coming from

2094
01:34:42,000 --> 01:34:45,040
Speaker 3: the Shanahan world. So it's like they're organized. There's something

2095
01:34:45,160 --> 01:34:47,240
Speaker 3: happening here where it's like been years of this.

2096
01:34:47,640 --> 01:34:50,000
Speaker 5: This is a much bigger test against the Steelers defense,

2097
01:34:50,080 --> 01:34:52,479
Speaker 5: especially for the Texans offense. So on the other side

2098
01:34:52,520 --> 01:34:54,240
Speaker 5: of the ball, you know, it's not as big a test.

2099
01:34:54,439 --> 01:34:57,120
Speaker 5: I didn't come out of that Raiders game like all

2100
01:34:57,120 --> 01:34:59,400
Speaker 5: that more confident and pickt in what's going on. But

2101
01:34:59,720 --> 01:35:04,000
Speaker 5: it's another chance for the Texans to kind of make

2102
01:35:04,360 --> 01:35:06,439
Speaker 5: make themselves a real story you want, you want to

2103
01:35:06,479 --> 01:35:08,639
Speaker 5: really get people's attention, go to and too. That place

2104
01:35:08,640 --> 01:35:11,360
Speaker 5: will be wild because that is a great football town

2105
01:35:11,360 --> 01:35:12,400
Speaker 5: and they're waiting for something.

2106
01:35:12,439 --> 01:35:13,639
Speaker 4: They now got a quarterback.

2107
01:35:13,760 --> 01:35:16,439
Speaker 1: It's interesting watching the Texans and it's like, oh, welcome

2108
01:35:16,439 --> 01:35:18,400
Speaker 1: back to the world of a living. Like they've just

2109
01:35:18,400 --> 01:35:20,960
Speaker 1: been kind of kind of in the NFL for a

2110
01:35:21,000 --> 01:35:23,439
Speaker 1: couple of years and now it's like, oh, they're in

2111
01:35:23,439 --> 01:35:26,800
Speaker 1: the NFL, like a real team that plays games that

2112
01:35:26,840 --> 01:35:27,479
Speaker 1: you want to watch.

2113
01:35:27,479 --> 01:35:31,800
Speaker 5: Sometimes it's all progress one quarterback. It really does, it

2114
01:35:31,880 --> 01:35:33,000
Speaker 5: really does change everything.

2115
01:35:33,040 --> 01:35:37,120
Speaker 1: Tell me about it. All right, that's it. We have
