WEBVTT - 2023 Week 4 Preview 0:00:00.440 --> 0:00:03.040 The Around the NFL podcast. 0:00:05.160 --> 0:00:09.400 He's talking to America right now and the world. 0:00:09.280 --> 0:00:12.320 From the Chris Wesley podcast studio. It's Around the NFL. 0:00:12.680 --> 0:00:16.680 I'm Dan Hanss, Greg Rosenthal, Mark Sessler heroes both are 0:00:16.720 --> 0:00:21.360 here as well, and it is the week for preview 0:00:21.400 --> 0:00:27.560 Proper Draft edition. We previewed primetime in England game on 0:00:27.600 --> 0:00:32.320 the Wednesday show, including Chief Jets SNF. There is a 0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:35.000 report and thank you to Andrew Ceciliano for sending this 0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:38.199 along to me that this is from Mark Burns on 0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:42.640 x get in. Price for Chiefs Jets jumped forty three 0:00:42.720 --> 0:00:46.080 percent from eighty three dollars to one nineteen on the 0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:49.040 secondary market after it was reported that Taylor Swift would 0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:50.680 likely attend. Whoa. 0:00:51.240 --> 0:00:53.400 I mean, we just had a you know, before the show. 0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:55.280 We don't just roll in here and start the show 0:00:55.280 --> 0:00:57.480 in two minutes. There's a lot of pre showed chatter 0:00:57.560 --> 0:01:00.600 and we were debating the whole tailors thing, which I 0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:03.560 think probably annoys some of our hardcore like football fans, 0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:04.840 but it is of interest to us. 0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:09.600 That's okay, But what does that have to I don't 0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:10.840 know you're supposed to That was like. 0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:13.560 A big salteam cracker with nothing on it. Give me 0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:16.360 a little what I just said. What's your point. 0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:18.280 I think it's I think it's having a because I 0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:22.080 think it's like it is quietly a massive NFL story, 0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:25.559 because we talked about yesterday that Jersey sales for Travis 0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:29.280 Kelcey have blown up, and that means it's people that 0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:32.160 didn't care about Travis kelce a week ago, now they do. 0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:35.840 And it's bringing like this new fan piece of the 0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:37.399 pie into the NFL world, and. 0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:38.200 So the NFL loves it. 0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:41.600 Here's my prediction. Let's take out like Week one or whatever. 0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:46.600 But actually there's Sunday Night football is never Week one. 0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:47.440 But how about that. 0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:51.560 I think this this game and I don't really need 0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:54.280 to see that game get too many extra eyeballs on it, 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:58.520 because it's gonna be don't look up, gonna do the 0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:01.840 biggest number of the year. It's because all the swifties 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:04.960 are gonna tune in, especially the beginning of the telecast 0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:07.800 monster number, and you're gonna have Richard Deitsch and all 0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:10.400 the other media people, marshand our buddy from the Post. 0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:13.760 Everybody's gonna be talking about that, and that maybe will 0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:16.560 deflect some of the actual agony. Connected to the football game. 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:19.320 How many total lock it up? That's my prediction. 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:21.760 How many total minutes of Taylor Swift do you get 0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:24.320 airtime on the show. It's not you know, you can't. 0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:27.560 No one's gonna be satisfied all these people with you know, 0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:29.720 eighty seconds of cut away the entire time. It's gonna 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:30.680 have to be minutes on minutes. 0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:32.880 They're gonna have her in a secondary box because it's 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:35.480 gonna be a thirty five point game by third quarter, right. 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:41.000 I mean, there's any two American men who can handle 0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:44.080 this with like the coolest of ways. It's Mike Turico 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:48.440 and Chris Coms just be seamless. 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:50.000 I don't know there she might be a little too 0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:53.480 mainstream for them. You know, I could picture Trico and 0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:57.480 Collinsworth and like CBGB's in seventy eight. You know those 0:02:57.520 --> 0:02:59.800 guys are punks, all right, So. 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:02.280 Collins where it's like a camper van Beethoven. 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:05.320 Finn't I don't get the rep I went deep. 0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:06.440 You'll go check it out. 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:10.840 I will. Today we're going to go through all of 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:15.080 the Sunday games, not like I said, and on primetime 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:19.560 we do a draft style. Greg will have the first pick, which, 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:21.360 by the way, is the number one pick of the 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:25.800 week presented by Draft Kings. And this is the and 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:29.000 it just worked out for old Gregy. It did, Oh, Greg, 0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:32.480 last step in the poop? You know, why do they 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:34.760 say that you step in the poop? But it's good luck? 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:35.880 Isn't that like a thing. 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:37.640 I would prefer not? That's bad luck? 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:39.720 And I think it means that something good is going 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:42.720 to happen you. Or maybe that's when a bird relieves 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:46.000 itself on you. It doesn't matter. Greg's very lucky boy jargon. 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:49.480 So now he will take with the first overall pick. 0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:54.160 The Miami Dolphins heading to the Buffalo Bills. Hello, Jim 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:58.000 Nance Tony Romo. It was pretty easy to take this 0:03:58.040 --> 0:03:59.920 first overall. I was excited. 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:01.920 Whenever that the Bills are two and a half point 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:04.800 favorites in this game. The total. 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:09.360 Is fifty three and a half, which you know and 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:12.760 carry the one that's sixteen and a half less than 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:16.640 the Dolphins scored by themselves last week. And I thought 0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:20.000 about locking this game up for the Bills, getting bold 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:24.160 because I do think this can be a reminder for 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:28.080 everyone that Buffalo has because the Dolphins are the story 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:31.679 of the NFL right now that we're a different Bills team. 0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:34.960 We've been in a lot of big time games, and 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:38.279 they are different because they're a run first team. I 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:40.560 don't know about like they're going to have a high 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:43.800 run percentage, but they do have the highest two tight 0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:45.559 end percentage in the entire NFL. 0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:46.560 That's down through three weeks. 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:49.800 Some of these numbers matter more to me, and they're 0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:53.000 fourth in the NFL and explosive run rate. They've been 0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:57.159 doing these long slow drives. It is a very different 0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:01.719 Bills offense and it's going again a different Dolphins defense, 0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:04.159 which has just been their twenty first in Dvoa. They 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:06.839 haven't been great, but what they do is give up long, 0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:11.440 slow drives. So I do think offensively, the Bills are 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:14.960 more prepared this year than they have in past years 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:18.039 to slow down in offense like the Dolphins, and we 0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:20.040 can get to that side of the ball, but they 0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:23.760 can slow them down partly with these long, slow offensive drives. 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:26.440 And I really think I've been impressed by the way 0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:27.760 Josh Allen's played in the way. 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:28.480 They've been running the ball. 0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:31.960 Yeah, I mean James Cook, I think rather quietly second 0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:35.240 among running backs in yardage to completely Christian McCaffrey, like 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:37.680 he's looked great three weeks in a row. That is 0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:39.359 a new element to their offense. I mean it had 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:41.280 them last year, but it's like you're getting this version 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:42.760 of them. They're doing it with a lead to which 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:45.479 impresses me, Like I'm with you on the fact that 0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:48.280 their offense if you get like the and I get 0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:50.360 a little tired of this, like which version of Josh 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:52.520 Allen will you get? But to be honest, like he 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:54.440 kind of blew the game against the Jets, And it's 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:57.440 like if they get into a situation where Miami's offense 0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:01.520 is using its speed against a Bill's defense that is 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:05.760 really stout even without von Miller, but not a super 0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:07.800 fast defense. I mean, I know what defense is out 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:09.599 there that can deal with Miami speed. 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:11.400 And like there are these amazing. 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:15.240 Clips out there that show you know, you've got Raheem 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:18.320 Mostart running right up the center of the field and 0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:20.800 like four or five Broncos players like looking like they're 0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:24.039 asleep on the grass, like they're napping, like they're snoozing, 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:26.839 and it's like that's what they do, and they demoralize 0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:29.360 Denver so quickly to bad defense this is a different 0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:33.719 Bills defense that leads the NFL with nine takeaways twelve sacks. 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:36.320 Again without von Miller, Leonard Floyd's been really big for them. 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:39.440 And there was a question like Kenshawn McDermott head coach 0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:42.560 and also call the defense adequately to great, and it's 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:44.760 been great so far. So it's at least the Dolphins 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:47.520 getting I think a real test this time after last 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:49.279 week's apocalypse for Denver. 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:54.520 So the Dolphins Week one out of their minds, Week 0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:58.200 three out of their minds. The Bills are saying, well, 0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:02.800 week two against the Patriots, they were efficient. They think 0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:04.360 they had over four hundred yards, right. 0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:07.440 GREGI yeah, but a couple unforced theirs and the driver 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:10.600 that the Patriots really weren't the ones that made him stop, right. 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:13.760 But it's the old Rocky fourth thing. The Russian's been cut. 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:18.240 He is a man, he bleeds, and it's not like 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:22.480 the Dolphins have rolled through all three weeks unstoppable. So 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:23.880 I think the Bills are looking at that. I think 0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:27.000 you nailed that, Greg with your comment that the Bills 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:29.160 have to do what they can do, which is control 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:33.080 the pace of this game. The defense has to be opportunistic, 0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:35.360 they just got to slow down this machine because you know, 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:38.280 Miami's playing obviously with a lot of confidence, and you 0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:40.680 got to get too uncomfortable. That has been a big 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:43.000 part of this too, is just sitting back there, I think, 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:43.960 don think ding ding. 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:44.800 D How did you do it? 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:44.960 Though? 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:46.679 It's so tough when he gets rid of the ball. 0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:49.080 So fast, right, And that's part of it, And there 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:51.440 are ways to defend that. I would imagine, to kind 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:53.640 of clamp down on the receivers, but again, these aren't 0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:57.800 normal receivers. As is wattleback this week. I think he's practiced. Yeah, 0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:00.840 so that's going to be an added challenge. But the Bills, yeah, 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:03.640 they need to somehow find a way to disrupt the 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:06.440 flow of this Miami offense because we've seen it. We 0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:10.040 saw it last year. This offense is not impervious. Like 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:12.640 if you knock them off their kilter and get them 0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:15.240 kind of misaligned, they can struggle for even weeks at 0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:17.160 a time. And I kind of like the Bills in 0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:19.640 this spot. I think I respect the Dolphins what they've done, 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:22.640 but I think Buffalo is really course corrected well here 0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:25.000 in these last two weeks. They're playing very well on 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:28.200 both sides of ball. I love the way Josh Allen 0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:31.400 and Stefan Diggs are working together right now, and I 0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:32.719 think this is a bit I think this is the 0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:34.440 Bills game. I think they're going to take a little 0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:36.360 wind out of the sales of the Dolphins this week. 0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:38.559 I feel like I'm always a little worried when we're 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:40.160 all on the same page, or maybe we're not all, 0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:42.400 but Dan and I are on the same page here 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:47.240 because this is a different Dolphins offense. I'm really excited 0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:49.680 to see how their run game moves forward. And to me, 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:52.440 that's the biggest change this year from last is how 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:54.360 in sync this running game is. And that's what Mike 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:57.800 McDaniel does well. But to me, the one stat that 0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:00.240 explains more than anything else, if you just want to 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:02.800 understand why the Dolphins are who the Dolphins are, is 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:05.920 that Tua has the fastest time to throw in the 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:10.080 NFL and also has the highest air yards per attempt 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:12.840 in the NFL. That's just a math problem that kind 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:15.280 of breaks your brain, and it breaks defenses. He throws 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:17.440 at the quickest and he throws at the deepest, and 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:20.520 he's going against a defense on paper that is as 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:22.880 well set up to stop him as any defense in 0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:25.040 the NFL, because they've been together for five or six years. 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:26.720 You got Mike Hyde who's playing great. 0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:30.040 Poyer maybe not so much, but they've been together a 0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:33.920 long time and they're designed to prevent big plays. And 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:36.360 we'll see if that can happen. Right now, Tua in 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:41.440 his passing EPA is the highest through three weeks since 0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:43.960 Tom Brady's in two thousand and seven. 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:46.280 And that's the kind of offense this offense has been 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:47.439 so far. Yeah, it's just like. 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:50.960 It's absolutely working. And I would point to something. I 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:53.680 know we're in a different era than we were back 0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:56.679 in the day, but Tyreek Hill has six one hundred 0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:59.720 and fifty plus yard games in twenty appearances with the Dolphins. 0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:06.840 Mark Clayton, Dolphins legend had eight, and I'm not astray 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:08.480 he had eight and one hundred and forty six and 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:10.559 that was with Dan Marino. So it's like that was 0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:11.560 a high octane offensive. 0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:13.880 Just put Dan Reno on this offense and see, you 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:14.720 know what would happen. 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:16.760 He had a quick release too. I mean like that 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:18.880 he avoided a lot of sacks. But it's like it's 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:21.000 like you, how do you? I I can see what 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:23.880 the Bills did to Sam Howell last week, and they've 0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:25.360 been dominant two weeks in a row. But it's like, 0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:28.000 I'm not sure anyone can do it to the Dolphins now. 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:31.000 I think they're even then fifty three seems low, like 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:33.599 as the total like it for all, I'm saying that 0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:35.320 it's a different Bills offense. He slowed the game down, 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:36.880 the defense is better. I still think you got to 0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:39.240 win like twenty nine to twenty six. It's not gonna 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:40.400 be something where you keep them down. 0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:43.760 Dolphins are one and eleven in Buffalo in their last 0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:45.960 twelve games. It's like, but last year, even in that, 0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:49.360 like in the playoff game, with a deep seated, distant 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:51.800 quarterback not your starter, they gave him battle. 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:53.480 Again either, Tompson almost took him out right. 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:55.680 The Bills weren't quite right by the end of last 0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:58.000 season either. I mean, you had obviously the Hamlet situation. 0:10:58.120 --> 0:10:59.920 You saw what happened the following week, and since an 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:03.000 I feel spot here. It is. 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:04.880 It's not a terrible spot, but it's like, I mean, 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:07.679 what the Dolphins said less than a week ago is historic. 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:09.839 Like I'm not I'm not gonna kind of feel like 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:11.800 this ain't the Broncos, no more, it isn't. But come 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:13.280 show me that you can stop this team. 0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:15.000 That was the game of the week presented by Draft 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:17.280 King sports Book.

Oh, 0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:33.080 we just me. Yeah. 0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:39.400 Actually it's super annoying because I was trying to maneuver that, 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:41.880 like how do I do it? But this damn NFL 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:44.320 schedules drive me nuts this year so far, we have 0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:48.480 another Sunday where there's only three late games nine, so 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:52.959 we're getting pelted here where we have to all split 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:54.840 those games up, so there's no way to really keep 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:56.600 an eye on that game, which is a damn shame. 0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:59.840 And again, bully to you, Greg, you really stepped in it, 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:02.120 which I think means good luck. 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:05.200 It doesn't sound good, all right, big news. 0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:09.280 Second, overall, pick, there's a trade, first time this season. 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:14.640 I'm always suspicious of these trades when I'm not involved. 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:18.480 Why should you? I actually was planning to maybe make 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:20.840 an offer to you for today. Wouldn't it like a 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:25.160 godfather offer? But I was like, you know what, No, I. 0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:27.320 Would have thought about it because there is one intriguing 0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:27.760 late game. 0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:29.840 I know. After I heard what you said before the show, 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:31.680 I was like, damn, I should offer two number ones? 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:36.200 All right? So anyway, Dan sends the number two overall 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:39.880 pick today and the number four overall pick next week 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:43.200 to Mark Sessler, who sends me back today's number three 0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:46.920 overall pick in next week's number two pick from Mark. 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:52.040 So like, So I got a text from Dan about this, Okay. 0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:53.920 I didn't even look at the terms because it's like like, 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:54.439 you know. 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:56.199 Mark got no premium whatsoever? 0:12:57.280 --> 0:13:01.400 Oh Mark got a premium? Oh Mark PREVIOUM, what's your pick? Mark? 0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:04.120 I guess I get. I do get to pick this game. 0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:06.840 That is a what a what a treat? I'm going 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:08.120 to go Baltimore at Cleveland. 0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:08.960 That's the premium. 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:11.880 Okay, Okay, I see they're like, you know that you 0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:14.000 wouldn't have taken that. This isn't one week. 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:15.160 No, I don't think you would have. 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:18.000 I absolutely That's why I traded the pick. Okay, all right, 0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:21.920 well there's no high value number three pick for me. Sorry, 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:24.200 I bully to me. I stepped in whatever it is 0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:25.200 people are step in. 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:29.199 That's fair, that's fair. I like this game, Yeah, I 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:29.520 know you do. 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:33.920 Yeah, I kind of like it for for the Ravens 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:35.719 reasons too. I watched them last week and that in 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:38.240 the Colts game, and like, uh, I don't know, We're 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:41.720 three weeks into the season and I am not totally 0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:44.280 sold on this Ravens offense. I mean, I think you 0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:49.680 got you got flashes of Lamar Jackson reminding you that 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:52.400 the fire is still there and burning, burning bright, that 0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:53.800 there is these moments of excellence. 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:56.480 Well you heard the Lamarmie after week two, they just 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:58.600 go nuts as soon as Lamar has a big week. Yeah, 0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:01.400 but I mean he's sandwich those that one big game 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:01.760 now with. 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:04.120 Kind of like, I'm not in the Lamarmie, like I 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:04.600 I'm not. 0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:05.320 I'm not saying you are. 0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:07.000 No, I'm more suspicious of anything else. 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:09.760 It was Okay, that was a direct shot right at 0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:10.760 the bow of Rosenthal. 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:11.160 Yeah. 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:13.360 Week one, I don't know least I think he struggled 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:16.200 week one. Last week was there was a lot going on. 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:20.000 I'm seeing I'm seeing this like this, this offense making 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:24.320 mistakes a couple of games Lamar Jackson with some terrible 0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:28.480 fumbles and ball control issues. I think also the way 0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:32.240 that they crumbled on third and fourth down last week 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:34.400 in key situations where it was like, I get it, 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:36.280 it's a rookie receiver. I think Zave Flowers has a 0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:39.640 great future, but there were some bad drops. Mark Andrews 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:41.800 has not really gotten he wasn't active Week one, but 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:44.880 he's not really gotten unhooked in this offense at this 0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:46.880 point in general, just like do you really trust them 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:48.760 to go damage people? They had a lot of injuries. 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:50.160 I think if you if you want to say why 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:55.080 things can change, uh, Ronnie Stanley's practicing, Tyler Linderbaum's practicing. 0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:58.120 They were down Williams six of eleven starters, right. 0:14:58.000 --> 0:14:59.800 So they've done what they've done. They've done what they've 0:14:59.840 --> 0:15:02.320 done with injuries. I get that, but this is a 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:06.720 different Browns defense. And even Cleveland during Milk Toast seasons, 0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:09.520 they've had at least one game against Baltimore where they 0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:12.120 kind of like your division opponent, you know who they are, 0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:14.080 and they showed they know who the Ravens were and 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:16.320 like this is a different attack. But I think Cleveland 0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:17.880 what they're doing right now, and we've talked about it 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:20.680 a lot, it's kind of crazy. They've forced three and 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:23.320 outs on sixty one point five percent of opponent drives. 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:26.120 That's obviously the most in the NFL. They've allowed one 0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:32.480 touchdown all season. They basically last week against Tennessee what 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:35.320 Tennessee accumulated in an entire game other teams do in 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:37.600 like two or three drives. It's like they just find 0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:39.360 a way to shut them down. And we talked on 0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:42.280 we talked yesterday about just the way that Miles Garrett 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:45.120 now has been unleashed by Jim Schwartz because you've got 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:49.440 Zadarius Smith and help around them. It's just dangerous. And 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:51.760 I really don't know how Baltimore deals with this. It's 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:53.640 like it's kind of like the reverse of dealing with 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:56.120 Miami's offense. It's like, show me that you can go 0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:58.640 put it on Cleveland's defense. I don't know if this 0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:00.720 version of where the Ravens are, maybe it's gonna take 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:02.520 them a couple more weeks or even a month plus 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:04.760 to kind of see what this offense is but I 0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:07.800 just don't trust them to go four quarters and outmatch 0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:08.280 the Browns. 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:12.720 I think the Browns should be pleased with the schedule makers. 0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:16.040 They're catching the Ravens now sure, and like they could 0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:17.800 be three and zero in their division. They probably should 0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:20.160 have won that Steelers game. They didn't, but they could 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:23.560 be two and one in the division. It's not just 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:26.960 that the Ravens are forming and the and the Browns 0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:28.600 are coming out like a house on fire. 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:31.640 It's the injury situation. Even if you get those two. 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:34.840 Offensive linemen back, Bateman's out of practice, obj Is out 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:38.480 of practice. They're the the linemen are coming back and 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:41.200 they're not one hundred percent. Dobbins got a concussion, so 0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:44.840 you actually have three new injuries of starters not Dobbins, 0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:50.280 Gus Edwards obviously replacing Dobbins. And the matchup of snaps. 0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:53.880 This is always on my raider, this is my corner. Uh, 0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:57.840 that Roqwan Smith and Clowney and that Ravens team were 0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:00.240 on the field so long last week. Rokwan Smith played 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:03.280 eighty four snaps. Last week, Miles Garrett and the Browns 0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:06.120 barely played. It was like a preseason game, thirty six 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:09.600 snaps for Miles Garrett. That's more than double that the 0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:12.639 Ravens defense. And I'm not saying they're gonna come out tired. 0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:14.800 I think the Ravens have a chance in this game. 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:17.639 But to me, the Browns are a little more fully 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:20.520 formed right now. And I'm a little surprised they're not 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:22.200 favored by more. What are they two and a half 0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:23.960 point favorites in this game. That's not a lot of 0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:25.200 respect for the early season. 0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:28.879 It was actually, yeah, Baltimore's offense was weird against the Colts. 0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:30.800 They scored a touchdown on the first drive, and then 0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:35.680 after that fumble punt, fumble, punt, punt punt, they scored 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:38.600 a touchdown, field goal, punt punt miss field goal punt 0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:41.840 downs and there was very rarely can you boil And 0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:43.879 that was a very even back and forth game against 0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:45.800 the Colts. And again shout out to the Colts who 0:17:45.800 --> 0:17:46.400 are frisky. 0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:49.879 Wheel are backup quarterback in. 0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:53.440 There third and six at the indy forty four yard line, 0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:57.920 seven o eight to play in overtime and Lamar has 0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:01.919 a Flowers over the middle open I mean open open, 0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:04.360 and he completes that pass. Ravens win that game. 0:18:04.760 --> 0:18:07.280 It was or if they call the PI on the 0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:10.359 next play, which was even worse, wasn't it unless they punted. 0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:12.720 I'm mixing up the the non p I CA on 0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:13.359 the fourth down. 0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:15.879 Yes, but that and that's how slim the margin of 0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:18.080 error is. You know, you need your quarterback to hit 0:18:18.080 --> 0:18:21.080 that throw because Justin Tucker is not missing once they're 0:18:21.119 --> 0:18:24.920 inside the thirty there inside the forty, and so it's 0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:28.800 not like they had some type of miserable game overall. 0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:32.359 But the offense, yes, is inconsistent. And that's why I 0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:35.560 agree that the Browns are playing with so much confidence 0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:38.560 on defense and the way they're swarming right now Cleveland, 0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:42.479 that it's going to show me something, GREGI if Lamar 0:18:43.320 --> 0:18:45.080 can get right on Sunday. 0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:48.560 Yeah, And this is, you know, to be fair, the 0:18:48.600 --> 0:18:51.520 best offense the Browns have played. They've played three offenses 0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:54.239 in offensive lines in particular, that have been terrible. I mean, 0:18:54.240 --> 0:18:56.080 the Bengals offense has kind of been a mess to 0:18:56.119 --> 0:18:58.400 start the season, that the Steelers and the Titans. Now 0:18:58.400 --> 0:19:00.600 the Browns have made all three of those teams look 0:19:00.680 --> 0:19:03.359 worse by far than they have against any other teams. 0:19:03.359 --> 0:19:06.720 But those are three really struggling offenses. This will be tougher. 0:19:06.760 --> 0:19:10.040 I'm also curious how the Browns offense looks. You really 0:19:10.080 --> 0:19:14.160 saw a transition away from the Nick Chubb offense last week. 0:19:14.160 --> 0:19:16.440 I think it was pretty clear they're second in the 0:19:16.480 --> 0:19:19.760 league and empty formations in terms of having you know, 0:19:19.800 --> 0:19:21.760 no one in the backfield with him and just spread 0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:24.760 it out. The fancy came out and he was just 0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:27.040 throwing it all against wall. It was like, you know, 0:19:27.160 --> 0:19:30.720 jet sweeps and trick plays and design runs for Watson 0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:34.320 and empty and Watson kind of going through and avoiding sacks. 0:19:34.400 --> 0:19:36.720 It was Watson's best game. Wasn't even a great game, 0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:38.639 but it was a good enough games pretty good and 0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:39.160 that's better. 0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:40.080 That's better. 0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:42.600 Yeah, Shook said the same thing. Or I watched it 0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:46.000 and I'm like, I'm not saying this is Texans Watson, 0:19:46.040 --> 0:19:47.840 but that was a big problem. 0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:50.960 He made some nice throws, avoided sacks really well. I 0:19:51.000 --> 0:19:53.240 think it's partly because he had one of the biggest 0:19:53.440 --> 0:19:56.359 bloopers since Aaron Brooks. That was insane, you know, just 0:19:56.359 --> 0:19:58.120 like that, that was that game. But you're right, other 0:19:58.160 --> 0:20:00.840 than that, he was quite good. So I'm can I'm 0:20:01.119 --> 0:20:03.600 watching that, like, let's see if that transition continues because 0:20:03.600 --> 0:20:05.679 there was a lot less under center run game. The 0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:07.639 run game stunk last week and it might struggle this 0:20:07.720 --> 0:20:08.120 week again. 0:20:08.160 --> 0:20:10.960 By the way, Elijah Moore doesn't happen for the Browns, 0:20:11.000 --> 0:20:12.280 it won't be for a lack of trying. 0:20:12.440 --> 0:20:14.560 Yeah, they are, they are. 0:20:14.920 --> 0:20:17.600 I think one of his frustrations in New York was 0:20:17.600 --> 0:20:19.600 that they weren't scheming ways to get on the ball. 0:20:19.800 --> 0:20:22.880 The Browns are relentlessly scheming to get the ball, Elijah Moore. 0:20:22.880 --> 0:20:24.920 It hasn't really resulted in much yet, but that's something 0:20:24.920 --> 0:20:26.800 to keep an eye on as to become more of 0:20:26.840 --> 0:20:30.360 a passing offense going forward. All right, I guess now 0:20:30.400 --> 0:20:33.520 that comes to me. And yeah, like I said, one 0:20:33.520 --> 0:20:34.760 of the reasons I wanted to get out of that 0:20:34.840 --> 0:20:38.520 spot was because I knew Mark wanted that game and 0:20:38.760 --> 0:20:40.919 I wasn't in love with a third game. So but 0:20:41.040 --> 0:20:42.920 I will take let's stay in the NFC East or 0:20:42.960 --> 0:20:43.560 head to the NFC. 0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:45.240 So you did it for my benefit. 0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:45.919 I appreciate that. 0:20:46.200 --> 0:20:50.600 Well, you know, I know the score here, that's a score. 0:20:50.720 --> 0:20:53.680 He knows also that he didn't love that that I 0:20:53.840 --> 0:20:55.720 like game and next week it might help him out. 0:20:55.800 --> 0:20:58.440 Yeah, I like that game. But I know somebody really 0:20:58.480 --> 0:20:59.120 wanted that game. 0:20:59.280 --> 0:21:01.639 Yeah, well, I guess I appreciate it. I mean I 0:21:01.680 --> 0:21:02.639 do genuinely. 0:21:03.320 --> 0:21:04.880 Well, if you would have, if you would have turned 0:21:04.880 --> 0:21:07.320 your nose up at the trade offer, I would have 0:21:07.320 --> 0:21:07.920 had no choice. 0:21:08.040 --> 0:21:08.520 I just think it. 0:21:08.560 --> 0:21:10.359 How long did it take me? How long it took 0:21:10.400 --> 0:21:12.560 me maybe point eight second to write sure? I didn't 0:21:12.560 --> 0:21:13.040 even look at that. 0:21:13.119 --> 0:21:15.600 I was hoping for a little gamesmanship, but there was 0:21:15.640 --> 0:21:18.440 nothing I would have I would have given up last. 0:21:18.560 --> 0:21:20.880 Mark's the guy you want to send offers to in fantasy. 0:21:21.119 --> 0:21:23.280 It was just like, just like, depending on how he feels, 0:21:23.320 --> 0:21:25.080 it's like it's too much trouble to turn it down. 0:21:25.320 --> 0:21:27.720 I think it was within four seconds he wrote, Sure, 0:21:29.520 --> 0:21:34.800 let's see I will yeah, take the Commanders at the Eagles. 0:21:36.320 --> 0:21:38.840 Like the game, don't love it, don't actually after those 0:21:38.880 --> 0:21:43.480 two games, don't love the sleep Yeah, but I want 0:21:43.480 --> 0:21:46.520 to see Washington. It was the last game I watched 0:21:47.440 --> 0:21:52.200 right before it came in today. And listen, it was bad. 0:21:52.720 --> 0:21:59.840 The samhow was forcing things and and they got absolutely creamed. However, 0:22:01.520 --> 0:22:05.600 I'll say this, I'll say this. I think you alluded 0:22:05.600 --> 0:22:07.720 to it, Greg on maybe the Sunday Show, the Sunday 0:22:07.800 --> 0:22:10.159 Night Show. This was a two score game in the 0:22:10.160 --> 0:22:13.120 fourth quarterer sixteen nothing, but it was a two score game. 0:22:13.200 --> 0:22:18.280 And beyond that. In the they were in the red 0:22:18.359 --> 0:22:20.879 zone twice. The Commanders in this game, like right on 0:22:20.920 --> 0:22:23.840 the doorstep, and it ended once to turnover on downs 0:22:23.840 --> 0:22:26.840 near the goal line and once at an interception. So 0:22:26.880 --> 0:22:29.159 they were knocking on the doors against the Bill a 0:22:29.160 --> 0:22:32.320 tough Bills defense, and things went to hell. And after 0:22:32.400 --> 0:22:34.639 it was sixteen nothing in the fourth, there was an 0:22:34.640 --> 0:22:37.720 immediate terrible fumble by Antonio Gibson that was led to 0:22:37.760 --> 0:22:39.880 a touchdown and then a pick six and it's good night, nurse. 0:22:39.840 --> 0:22:42.040 It's got like five of those a year. That's been 0:22:42.040 --> 0:22:42.520 a problem. 0:22:42.680 --> 0:22:45.720 Yeah. So as bad as that final score was for 0:22:45.760 --> 0:22:48.280 the Commanders, I'm willing, especially with a young quarterback, to 0:22:48.280 --> 0:22:50.040 give them a little bit of a mull again and say, Okay, 0:22:50.080 --> 0:22:52.280 how are we gonna look next week? The only problem 0:22:52.280 --> 0:22:54.560 here is the next opponent now is the Eagles, So 0:22:54.560 --> 0:22:57.400 it's gonna be a real measuring stick. Like we talked 0:22:57.440 --> 0:23:01.520 about on Monday, I think it's been overblown Philadelphia's offensive 0:23:01.560 --> 0:23:05.240 struggles early on. They've got tons of yardage. Still, the 0:23:05.280 --> 0:23:07.560 DeAndre Swift looks like the comeback Player of the Year. 0:23:07.600 --> 0:23:11.280 I would imagine he's eligible for that ridiculous award and 0:23:11.600 --> 0:23:14.399 just wait, just wait until Jalen Hurts gets locked in 0:23:14.440 --> 0:23:17.280 with the passing game a big test for young and 0:23:17.320 --> 0:23:20.560 Sweaty and Deron Pain and everybody on that line to 0:23:20.640 --> 0:23:21.520 cause havoc. 0:23:22.040 --> 0:23:25.160 I like, so Howell, who's been sacked a league high 0:23:25.240 --> 0:23:27.320 nineteen times, A lot of those are on him. It's 0:23:27.400 --> 0:23:30.399 like that that's sort of his growth process here. I 0:23:30.520 --> 0:23:33.159 just see a team that, like you're right, like the 0:23:33.240 --> 0:23:37.119 Bills didn't just walk away from that game like immediately, 0:23:37.320 --> 0:23:39.520 but Washington just sort of handed it away, and like 0:23:40.040 --> 0:23:43.320 Philadelphia can just take advantage of that. I think that Philadelphia, 0:23:43.400 --> 0:23:44.920 Like I'm with you. I think that you saw aj 0:23:45.040 --> 0:23:46.800 Brown heat up a little bit last week, and I 0:23:46.840 --> 0:23:49.919 just expect that Hurts is gonna whatever little kind of 0:23:49.920 --> 0:23:52.040 slow starts of the season. He'll work his way out 0:23:52.040 --> 0:23:55.000 of this. But they are a team that like systematically 0:23:55.040 --> 0:23:58.320 is ripping off like thirteen plus play drives, Like I 0:23:58.359 --> 0:23:59.800 think they lead the league in those or the tide 0:23:59.800 --> 0:24:01.119 with the Rams for that at this point. 0:24:01.400 --> 0:24:02.600 And you're kind of drives. 0:24:02.920 --> 0:24:04.760 I love that because I think it kind of like 0:24:05.520 --> 0:24:08.480 something's not totally working at its maximum. They just found 0:24:08.480 --> 0:24:11.280 another way to run. And like Washington last week, one 0:24:11.320 --> 0:24:13.000 of the reasons I like the Bills is because of 0:24:13.119 --> 0:24:14.920 their ground game, and what they did last week was 0:24:14.920 --> 0:24:16.960 one hundred and sixty eight yards on the ground and 0:24:16.960 --> 0:24:18.960 Philadelphia is like four hundred and fifty plus in the 0:24:19.000 --> 0:24:21.560 last two weeks. And we talked about swift, but it's like, 0:24:21.800 --> 0:24:25.360 I just don't see what the weakness is on Philadelphia 0:24:25.760 --> 0:24:28.840 that a Washington strength can take advantage of. I just 0:24:28.880 --> 0:24:30.520 I think it's sort of there are a bit sitting 0:24:30.600 --> 0:24:31.560 ducks in this one. 0:24:31.320 --> 0:24:36.400 I wonder if the Eagle's secondary depth has been properly tested. 0:24:36.520 --> 0:24:41.000 They've had multiple injuries in terms of their slot cornerback, 0:24:41.119 --> 0:24:46.000 this at safety, maybe the linebackers. I do think Washington's 0:24:46.040 --> 0:24:47.720 deep in terms of their passing take are they ready 0:24:47.800 --> 0:24:48.480 to take advantage? 0:24:48.560 --> 0:24:50.480 I don't know. Eight points seems too much for me. 0:24:50.760 --> 0:24:53.879 I like me some commanders to either win this game 0:24:54.240 --> 0:24:56.680 or to keep it close in a bounce back game, 0:24:56.720 --> 0:24:59.480 because I do think this is the best defense Philly 0:24:59.520 --> 0:24:59.840 has face. 0:25:00.240 --> 0:25:01.840 I think schedules so important. 0:25:02.000 --> 0:25:03.840 I believe early in the season that you got to 0:25:03.880 --> 0:25:06.480 look at who these teams have played. And I think 0:25:06.600 --> 0:25:09.000 Washington they were up for the fight last week. I 0:25:09.000 --> 0:25:10.720 think they'll be up for the fight every week, and 0:25:10.920 --> 0:25:13.679 I think they'll make them compete. And I do think Okay, 0:25:13.720 --> 0:25:15.840 this is a division game where these coaches have played 0:25:16.200 --> 0:25:19.280 against each other and they the Washington's consistently created some 0:25:19.480 --> 0:25:23.399 issues for Philadelphia. They beat them last year in that 0:25:23.440 --> 0:25:25.960 game where they just held the ball forever. It was 0:25:26.000 --> 0:25:28.680 Philly's first loss of the year. It's a division game, 0:25:29.320 --> 0:25:32.960 and the offensive line for Philly it's far from an issue, 0:25:33.160 --> 0:25:37.280 but it hasn't been as good protecting the pass this 0:25:37.400 --> 0:25:40.520 year as previous years, like it's been good instead of excellent, 0:25:40.600 --> 0:25:43.399 and Hurts has been good instead of excellent. So is 0:25:43.440 --> 0:25:45.240 this a defense that could actually give them some trouble. 0:25:45.280 --> 0:25:47.240 I'm convincing myself yes, and that'll be close. 0:25:47.280 --> 0:25:48.199 I would just say good. 0:25:48.240 --> 0:25:49.920 One thing that's different from that Monday night game a 0:25:50.000 --> 0:25:52.320 year ago where they did they Washington had the ball 0:25:52.359 --> 0:25:54.840 for so much. The Eagles have had the ball for 0:25:55.160 --> 0:25:57.800 eighty minutes over the last two games. And we talked 0:25:57.800 --> 0:26:00.480 about snap count and who's rested and who who isn't 0:26:00.520 --> 0:26:03.000 like the Eagles defense has really not had to be 0:26:03.080 --> 0:26:03.920 on the field much. 0:26:03.720 --> 0:26:05.879 And they're quietly better. That's one thing I think Eagles 0:26:05.880 --> 0:26:08.080 fans have got to feel better. I actually think the 0:26:08.160 --> 0:26:10.360 Eagles defense by you better this season so far. 0:26:10.480 --> 0:26:12.840 Kiln Carter leads the Eagles we talked about on Wednesday 0:26:12.880 --> 0:26:17.560 with fifteen QB pressures. Hassan Reddick and Brandon Graham neither 0:26:17.680 --> 0:26:20.120 have a sack yet and just one QB hit each. 0:26:20.600 --> 0:26:24.359 But listen, they have so much talent and they have 0:26:24.440 --> 0:26:27.240 so much ability, and they're staying the offense is keeping 0:26:27.240 --> 0:26:29.359 the defense off the field that these guys are just 0:26:29.520 --> 0:26:31.600 warmed up. I would not be worried at all about 0:26:31.600 --> 0:26:34.920 that either. And I think maybe AJ Brown's gonna finally 0:26:34.960 --> 0:26:36.320 get you a touchdown here in a big spot. 0:26:36.359 --> 0:26:37.840 I mean, I'm not going to complain. Last week he 0:26:37.880 --> 0:26:41.720 went what one for eight for one or something. I 0:26:41.760 --> 0:26:44.639 see you, Aj, I believe blanking that one offense. 0:26:44.640 --> 0:26:45.240 I believe you. 0:26:45.600 --> 0:26:46.760 I believe in you. I do. 0:26:46.840 --> 0:26:48.880 I wish I took Devanta Adams or stuff. I think 0:26:48.960 --> 0:26:51.320 I kind of do. Just got a little little too 0:26:51.400 --> 0:26:52.320 much with my heart there. 0:26:52.480 --> 0:26:57.320 I likes I like the Eagles here to keep rolling, but. 0:26:57.720 --> 0:27:00.560 To cover well D eight. 0:27:02.080 --> 0:27:02.119 A. 0:27:03.280 --> 0:27:04.760 It may not be a lot though, sometimes you get to. 0:27:04.840 --> 0:27:07.639 You get at Philly Philly, especially with Jalen Hurts, who 0:27:07.680 --> 0:27:11.880 is essentially unbeatable in the regular season. Here. Uh, they start, 0:27:11.920 --> 0:27:13.640 they they turn into a bit of a runaway train 0:27:13.720 --> 0:27:16.000 at home. So yes, I think they're gonna they're gonna 0:27:16.000 --> 0:27:18.000 take that wood. I'm with You're gonna chop it up, 0:27:18.520 --> 0:27:20.960 throw it in the old furnace. Is that how it works? 0:27:21.320 --> 0:27:21.520 Yeah? 0:27:21.560 --> 0:27:22.960 You could, you could do that, sure, if you have 0:27:23.040 --> 0:27:23.600 the kind of oven. 0:27:23.680 --> 0:27:26.960 All right, should we keep going? Should we roll? Another game? 0:27:27.400 --> 0:27:28.600 Another game up next? 0:27:29.240 --> 0:27:29.359 Uh? 0:27:29.480 --> 0:27:32.639 Mark, it's back to you unconventional this week because of 0:27:32.680 --> 0:27:35.200 the huge trade in. 0:27:36.040 --> 0:27:38.119 I think you've tricked me into having like six games 0:27:38.160 --> 0:27:38.720 on Sunday. 0:27:38.960 --> 0:27:39.520 I don't think so. 0:27:39.600 --> 0:27:41.960 I think we have the same everything. 0:27:42.200 --> 0:27:43.240 Everything else is all right. 0:27:45.320 --> 0:27:47.240 Well, I told you pre show what I what I 0:27:47.280 --> 0:27:48.320 really want toning out. 0:27:48.640 --> 0:27:49.080 No, I'm not. 0:27:49.760 --> 0:27:52.400 I love this. Actually I am gonna take my late game. 0:27:53.440 --> 0:27:55.119 If you're new to the show, we have to you know, 0:27:55.160 --> 0:27:57.520 you got to kind of be strategic about how you 0:27:57.600 --> 0:28:01.159 organize your day. Arizona at San Francisco. I think in 0:28:01.200 --> 0:28:02.480 week one. I would have been like, this will be 0:28:02.520 --> 0:28:05.720 a nice easy just to wipe out. I think this 0:28:05.800 --> 0:28:07.760 is disrespectful, and tell me if you think I'm wrong. 0:28:09.119 --> 0:28:11.920 Arizona is getting fourteen points in. 0:28:11.880 --> 0:28:13.600 This I'm totally cool with that. 0:28:13.880 --> 0:28:14.560 Oh so I. 0:28:14.760 --> 0:28:16.320 Guess like it's come you have to come from the 0:28:16.320 --> 0:28:18.199 world of like I look at that Cowboys game and 0:28:18.240 --> 0:28:21.080 it's kind of like an aberration from the norm. I 0:28:21.119 --> 0:28:24.159 look at Arizona that has fought every team they played 0:28:24.160 --> 0:28:24.920 this season, and that. 0:28:25.320 --> 0:28:27.560 What's also looking at San Francisco it is and like 0:28:27.600 --> 0:28:28.040 I think, like. 0:28:28.880 --> 0:28:32.199 I think San Francisco, like it's not totally wild to me. 0:28:32.400 --> 0:28:34.399 It's just that, like it's a little disrespectful to a 0:28:34.440 --> 0:28:37.280 team that just wiped out a Dallas team we're calling 0:28:37.280 --> 0:28:39.240 a Super Bowl contender, and I think they are. And 0:28:39.280 --> 0:28:42.200 it's just like, this is a well coached Cardinals team. 0:28:42.280 --> 0:28:44.680 And if you went into the year thinking like the 0:28:44.720 --> 0:28:46.560 tank thing is on whether or not the players and 0:28:46.560 --> 0:28:48.880 coaches want it to be. Because Josh Dobbs just simply 0:28:48.920 --> 0:28:52.640 cannot compete. He's fourth in the league and completion percentage, 0:28:52.920 --> 0:28:55.160 he's making plays, I mean he uses his feet too. 0:28:55.240 --> 0:28:57.720 James Connor is running as well as I've ever seen 0:28:57.760 --> 0:29:00.640 him run. Their defense is disrupting people and made the 0:29:00.640 --> 0:29:03.440 Cowboys look a little foolish at points last week. Can 0:29:03.480 --> 0:29:05.600 you do that to San Francisco? I don't think so, 0:29:06.280 --> 0:29:09.120 brock Purty, really, I think one thing you can talk 0:29:09.160 --> 0:29:12.360 about with the Coyleege Shanahan offense is they've had thirty 0:29:12.360 --> 0:29:14.840 plus points and seven eight of seven of his eight starts, 0:29:15.920 --> 0:29:18.920 he's had open targets on sixty five to four point 0:29:18.960 --> 0:29:22.800 four percent of his downfield throws by far, the highest 0:29:22.800 --> 0:29:27.680 percentage among quarterbacks with fifty plus downfield throws since last season. 0:29:27.720 --> 0:29:30.400 So it's like, this is the Shanahan offense. It works. 0:29:31.200 --> 0:29:34.240 Deebo Samuel was a little banged up. That concerns me 0:29:34.280 --> 0:29:36.200 to some degree, except they have so many different weapons 0:29:36.600 --> 0:29:39.160 that this will be Arizona's real test. Does the floor 0:29:39.200 --> 0:29:41.120 fall out here? I would just say I think no, 0:29:41.240 --> 0:29:44.040 because I think that what they've done over three weeks 0:29:44.480 --> 0:29:47.920 has shown an ability, especially on defense, to hang around. 0:29:48.200 --> 0:29:50.000 They've hung around, and like what they did to Dallas 0:29:50.040 --> 0:29:52.840 a week ago was not was not an aberration. I 0:29:52.840 --> 0:29:54.560 think it was a sign of what they are under 0:29:54.880 --> 0:29:58.000 Jonathan Gannon, who was an off season, Like everyone's snickering 0:29:58.040 --> 0:30:00.120 at Jonathan Gannon for some of the like the clip 0:30:00.200 --> 0:30:01.520 that came out about him and the way he kind 0:30:01.560 --> 0:30:02.080 of spoke. 0:30:01.880 --> 0:30:05.720 To the team. Yeah we are that summer Well. 0:30:05.720 --> 0:30:08.400 I mean, I guess we also did that. We did 0:30:08.400 --> 0:30:10.520 that to Siriani and Philadelphia, and then we kind of 0:30:10.560 --> 0:30:11.360 learned from that a little bit. 0:30:11.400 --> 0:30:14.040 But it's like, no, athing, I mean, it's okay to 0:30:14.120 --> 0:30:15.320 have some fun. We were. 0:30:15.560 --> 0:30:18.000 I wasn't taking it so seriously that like this man 0:30:18.080 --> 0:30:19.080 is doomed forever. 0:30:19.360 --> 0:30:21.959 No, but it's like it's another example of like some 0:30:22.040 --> 0:30:24.080 of this, like like the way they speak to the 0:30:24.120 --> 0:30:24.520 team is. 0:30:25.240 --> 0:30:27.480 By the way, just for context, people, I don't know 0:30:27.520 --> 0:30:31.080 the the origin of that drop. That was the new 0:30:31.120 --> 0:30:33.479 head coach that Cardinals going up to a wide receiver 0:30:34.200 --> 0:30:36.920 for the first time, introducing himself and explaining all the 0:30:36.960 --> 0:30:41.120 different routes he's going to run. And he was making. 0:30:42.520 --> 0:30:45.280 I mean, that's that's funny. It's a little strange, as 0:30:45.280 --> 0:30:46.640 my children would say, a little suss. 0:30:47.080 --> 0:30:50.000 It's a little suss. But he's done it good, don't you? 0:30:50.040 --> 0:30:51.840 Would you say he's would you give him a the 0:30:51.880 --> 0:30:53.760 B plus? 0:30:52.400 --> 0:30:57.840 If I get this is so Obsessler. 0:30:58.360 --> 0:30:59.960 They are the team set right now? 0:31:00.200 --> 0:31:02.760 Yeah, I mean you like the team that sucks that 0:31:02.960 --> 0:31:05.440 then kind of has a little heart and and that's cool. 0:31:05.480 --> 0:31:07.880 I think most sports fans would be a sure, but. 0:31:07.840 --> 0:31:12.280 You especially and if it's a small sample size, you 0:31:12.520 --> 0:31:14.800 tend to maybe get carried away a little bit sometimes. 0:31:14.840 --> 0:31:17.280 Well, all right, like putting it on the Cowboys is 0:31:17.320 --> 0:31:19.800 not just this thing that isn't a zero important. 0:31:19.800 --> 0:31:22.240 Now they've been consistent, They're they're. 0:31:22.360 --> 0:31:23.520 Not roughing the Sessler. 0:31:23.720 --> 0:31:26.880 I'm just saying this, You're not perfect. It's a perfect 0:31:26.880 --> 0:31:27.520 Sessler story. 0:31:27.640 --> 0:31:29.800 Well correct, But can I can I counter and say 0:31:29.800 --> 0:31:33.280 that like a danism is to kind of dismiss what 0:31:33.360 --> 0:31:35.440 they did the Cowboys because you believe in the Cowboys. 0:31:35.680 --> 0:31:39.160 Yes, because I I agree. Like, for instance, I think 0:31:39.200 --> 0:31:42.680 it is absolutely commendable the way Arizona has been in 0:31:42.760 --> 0:31:44.920 every game, despite the fact that everyone said they were 0:31:44.920 --> 0:31:46.680 gonna get blown out every week and maybe not win 0:31:46.760 --> 0:31:51.800 the season. So that is that's that's definitely Flowers. I 0:31:51.840 --> 0:31:53.960 do also think these things happen in the season. I 0:31:53.960 --> 0:31:57.360 think Dallas was flat on the road three days after 0:31:57.520 --> 0:31:59.520 one of their key players blew out his knee in 0:31:59.560 --> 0:32:02.720 practice and I think they caught Dallas a little flat 0:32:02.720 --> 0:32:04.800 footed and to their credit, took advantage of it. I 0:32:04.840 --> 0:32:07.920 just think now going to San Francisco is a whole 0:32:08.000 --> 0:32:10.720 other situation to help with the extra rest Niners team. 0:32:10.800 --> 0:32:14.120 Brandon Ayuk, I imagine, is potentially back in the lineup here, 0:32:14.520 --> 0:32:17.040 and I just think it's it's a great story. If 0:32:17.080 --> 0:32:20.440 Arizona battles for four quarters against the Niners. I think 0:32:20.440 --> 0:32:21.600 they're a pretty big story. 0:32:21.800 --> 0:32:23.719 If they ever nipped the Niners and I realized that 0:32:24.160 --> 0:32:26.640 beat them out, that's from I said nipped. If that 0:32:26.680 --> 0:32:28.880 was from outer space, I get that. The concept is 0:32:28.880 --> 0:32:31.800 that they are one of the most shocking NFL stories 0:32:31.840 --> 0:32:32.400 we've ever covered. 0:32:32.440 --> 0:32:32.560 Well. 0:32:32.600 --> 0:32:36.040 I think the thing about Arizona is everyone just has 0:32:36.080 --> 0:32:40.840 to recognize how foolish. So much of what we accept 0:32:40.960 --> 0:32:44.600 as wisdom going into a season is because just based 0:32:44.640 --> 0:32:47.800 on football, they're pretty good. This year, they're actually tenth 0:32:47.800 --> 0:32:52.120 in DVOA. They've been quite competitive every single week. I 0:32:52.120 --> 0:32:54.920 don't think that's gonna last totally because of their talent, 0:32:54.960 --> 0:32:57.120 but I think good coaching could get them to be 0:32:57.160 --> 0:32:59.000 feisty all year and they could win five or six 0:32:59.040 --> 0:33:02.400 games or what it turns out being like at this. 0:33:02.440 --> 0:33:05.440 Point, every literally everyone was completely wrong. 0:33:05.480 --> 0:33:07.800 We spent half the off season just saying like this 0:33:07.840 --> 0:33:11.040 this team is a total abomination. They're not They're competitive 0:33:11.240 --> 0:33:13.360 on defense, They're a pack of roaming dogs. 0:33:13.400 --> 0:33:13.840 Sometimes. 0:33:13.840 --> 0:33:16.959 I mean, they were pretty creative. They spooked Dak last week. 0:33:17.120 --> 0:33:20.480 There's some formations there where like what is happening. It's 0:33:20.520 --> 0:33:23.080 just like seven guys kind of like walking around. I'm 0:33:23.120 --> 0:33:26.440 making weird movements. Kaizier White, my guy I've always liked. 0:33:26.520 --> 0:33:29.000 Kaizier White had like the game of his life last week. 0:33:29.000 --> 0:33:31.600 It wasn't just the interception, Like they're getting guys to 0:33:31.640 --> 0:33:34.760 play well, but this is a totally different animal. 0:33:34.760 --> 0:33:35.160 I'm with you. 0:33:35.360 --> 0:33:37.760 Fortunately, the Cowboys win was really impressive. 0:33:37.960 --> 0:33:39.320 I think they'll be I don't know how good. 0:33:39.200 --> 0:33:41.040 The Commanders are the Giants are at this point, but 0:33:41.800 --> 0:33:43.040 I just need to see a little bit more of 0:33:43.080 --> 0:33:44.520 before I get like swept up in this. 0:33:44.560 --> 0:33:46.280 Here's the thing, and you're right, Mark, that's kind of 0:33:46.520 --> 0:33:46.960 my thing. 0:33:47.200 --> 0:33:50.239 But I sometimes I hate at the beginning of an 0:33:50.320 --> 0:33:52.560 NFL season where it's the three game sample size and 0:33:53.200 --> 0:33:55.960 we get fired up about it and then by week 0:33:56.080 --> 0:33:58.560 six it's completely on its ear and sometimes not. This 0:33:58.600 --> 0:34:02.440 one to me smells Niners Bengals Rams. Next three weeks, 0:34:02.480 --> 0:34:05.000 do I see a win and I don't, necessarily, then 0:34:05.040 --> 0:34:07.080 there'll be one in five. But call me a hater, 0:34:07.200 --> 0:34:08.040 I'm just no. 0:34:08.040 --> 0:34:10.880 I think last week maybe told us as much about 0:34:10.880 --> 0:34:12.560 the Cowboys as it did about the Cardinals. 0:34:13.239 --> 0:34:14.920 I mean, I think the Cardinals are showing though that 0:34:14.960 --> 0:34:17.600 they can compete with the middle of the NFL, so 0:34:17.600 --> 0:34:19.960 I think they'll have a chance with with that and then, 0:34:20.520 --> 0:34:22.759 but the middle of the NFL probably can't compete with 0:34:22.920 --> 0:34:25.600 the forty nine ers most week. I liked how Kittle 0:34:25.640 --> 0:34:28.359 looked better last week. I just haven't seen a lot 0:34:28.400 --> 0:34:32.120 of explosive Kittle in a while. It's been a quieter story. 0:34:32.120 --> 0:34:32.400 Still. 0:34:32.520 --> 0:34:34.719 That's right, guy, That's why he left the Superstar Club 0:34:34.760 --> 0:34:38.040 too great, right to great criticism from outside sources outside 0:34:38.160 --> 0:34:38.560 the building. 0:34:38.640 --> 0:34:41.120 Really played well and you might have been pressing and 0:34:41.160 --> 0:34:43.640 their front line. Look, the Cardinals offensive line has been 0:34:43.680 --> 0:34:47.120 a huge part of their success this year. They're playing 0:34:47.320 --> 0:34:50.120 well up front, and this will be a much tougher 0:34:50.160 --> 0:34:53.560 test against a forty nine Ers team that looks better upfront. 0:34:53.600 --> 0:34:56.279 They weren't getting any interior pressure last year. This year, 0:34:56.320 --> 0:34:59.520 Hardgrave is balling out nice signing kin Laws look better 0:34:59.560 --> 0:35:02.160 and arms that is healthy. Last year, you didn't have 0:35:02.200 --> 0:35:04.640 any of those three guys essentially at one hundred percent 0:35:04.719 --> 0:35:06.880 or playing well, and suddenly have three and that's a 0:35:06.880 --> 0:35:07.520 lot to deal. 0:35:07.440 --> 0:35:12.360 With, all right, mm hmm, I'm up gets a little 0:35:12.440 --> 0:35:13.400 rugged at this point. 0:35:13.520 --> 0:35:15.840 I'm gonna I'm gonna throw. I'm gonna give Greg a 0:35:16.560 --> 0:35:19.240 pass here because I would take. 0:35:19.600 --> 0:35:22.200 Just take it, because now I'm because of the way 0:35:22.239 --> 0:35:24.279 the thing works. I'm gonna have an extra game. I 0:35:24.280 --> 0:35:26.960 don't care anymore because the late games I'm gonna be 0:35:26.960 --> 0:35:27.799 watching double No. 0:35:27.840 --> 0:35:30.360 I don't want much Mac Jones forget about that. 0:35:30.360 --> 0:35:32.880 That's a struggle, a visual struggle. 0:35:33.719 --> 0:35:36.720 Uh all right, how about the team of Zeus til 0:35:36.800 --> 0:35:39.879 the Indianapolis Cults. Let's grab them against the Rams at home. 0:35:40.520 --> 0:35:42.520 I hope we got Anthony Richardson back in this game. 0:35:43.200 --> 0:35:46.360 He did practice? Is you know it sounds like it's possible. 0:35:46.440 --> 0:35:48.840 Do you do you think he's well, I know you 0:35:48.920 --> 0:35:50.400 like him, but like you think he's gonna give them 0:35:50.400 --> 0:35:51.680 a better chance than Gardner Minshew. 0:35:51.760 --> 0:35:54.240 I don't think Minsche played very well last week, actually, 0:35:55.200 --> 0:35:57.640 and I like Minshew as a backup. I wish he 0:35:57.719 --> 0:36:00.120 was my team's backup, but I don't I don't think 0:36:00.800 --> 0:36:03.680 there shouldn't be any conversation about who should be at 0:36:03.680 --> 0:36:07.040 this quarterback. I think richard'sn't proven in the time he's 0:36:07.080 --> 0:36:09.120 been on the field that he's already going to be 0:36:09.160 --> 0:36:11.319 a difference maker. He's just got to protect himself better 0:36:11.320 --> 0:36:14.040 and get a little luckier. I saw, like I've seen 0:36:14.040 --> 0:36:17.000 a lot of stuff around Richardson saying you know, and 0:36:17.080 --> 0:36:19.200 of course it started in week one when Trevor Lawrence 0:36:19.200 --> 0:36:21.160 said to him after the game, Hey, you gotta protect yourself. 0:36:21.760 --> 0:36:24.400 That's why this is a hard sport. Like we're watching 0:36:24.400 --> 0:36:28.840 this right now, by the way, on free TV and YouTube. 0:36:28.880 --> 0:36:31.040 Like that hit he takes where he suffers a concussion, 0:36:31.040 --> 0:36:33.879 it's like he was trying to protect himself. He gets 0:36:33.920 --> 0:36:36.680 pushed right at the goal line as he's scoring a touchdown. 0:36:36.719 --> 0:36:39.080 Tell me how to protect yourself right on that like 0:36:39.120 --> 0:36:41.600 he was. Basically that was a borderline late hit that 0:36:41.680 --> 0:36:44.600 led to his injury. So I hope I want to 0:36:44.640 --> 0:36:47.319 see Richardson play because he really has been as good 0:36:47.360 --> 0:36:51.319 as advertised and and he's a dynamic player and the 0:36:51.360 --> 0:36:54.360 cult in general. That performance a gets Baltimore one of 0:36:54.360 --> 0:36:58.480 the great kicker performances that we've seen. Really like you 0:36:58.480 --> 0:37:00.600 could say it's a bit with Dann kikers. No, I 0:37:00.640 --> 0:37:05.640 love kickers, especially clutch kickers. And what Mackay did in 0:37:05.680 --> 0:37:09.400 that game was outrageous with four. He hit from fifty 0:37:09.400 --> 0:37:12.239 three to fifty three, fifty three and fifty four. And 0:37:12.280 --> 0:37:14.200 I'm trying to remember who called the game. He had 0:37:14.200 --> 0:37:15.920 a nice little call at the end. He goes he 0:37:16.000 --> 0:37:19.120 mentioned the makes and said and he piped every single one. 0:37:19.160 --> 0:37:21.160 That was Jay Feely because he was going wild. 0:37:21.200 --> 0:37:22.920 Oh it was Pheey so j Peelly. 0:37:23.320 --> 0:37:25.680 Dan annoyed that he gave Pheelly pop. 0:37:26.080 --> 0:37:28.680 That is Pheelly the same guy that posted for the 0:37:28.719 --> 0:37:30.960 prompt picture with his daughter and the date while holding 0:37:30.960 --> 0:37:33.799 a gun. Is that the same I'd been tracked up 0:37:33.960 --> 0:37:37.760 one in the same anyway, he piped every single one. Anyway, 0:37:38.000 --> 0:37:40.680 So uh, this team I thought has been very fun 0:37:40.719 --> 0:37:43.360 to watch. And the Rams, I think this is another 0:37:43.480 --> 0:37:45.440 competitive game. I think Los Angeles is going to hang 0:37:45.440 --> 0:37:46.520 a lot of in a lot of these games. 0:37:46.560 --> 0:37:49.160 One thing I really love about what the what the 0:37:49.200 --> 0:37:51.920 cults have done, because yes it's it's they're really well coached, 0:37:51.960 --> 0:37:54.640 just like it's the other coordinator that came from Philadelphia, Stich, 0:37:54.680 --> 0:37:56.960 and you can see his fingerprints all over it. But 0:37:57.040 --> 0:37:58.960 part of it is like pieces that were there a 0:37:59.040 --> 0:38:01.719 year ago to Boris Buckner and that defensive line have 0:38:01.840 --> 0:38:04.600 caused problems in every one of these games. They did 0:38:04.600 --> 0:38:10.120 it to the Ravens and last week the Rams Bengals 0:38:10.160 --> 0:38:13.200 defense kept for one of eleven on third down, gave 0:38:13.239 --> 0:38:15.640 Matt Stafford all sorts of problems. And I think this 0:38:15.719 --> 0:38:17.440 is a matchup I don't like for the Rams in 0:38:17.480 --> 0:38:20.400 terms of their offensive line versus Cults defensive line that 0:38:20.440 --> 0:38:21.480 has wreaked a lot of havoc. 0:38:21.840 --> 0:38:24.480 That's a it's a great point, Mark, great point. 0:38:24.800 --> 0:38:25.080 Mark. 0:38:25.239 --> 0:38:28.920 The Colts defense has been really impressive. 0:38:29.120 --> 0:38:31.040 Roberts, we need it. I got to dig it up. 0:38:31.040 --> 0:38:34.759 And that's a great point. Mark. You're right, the Coast 0:38:34.760 --> 0:38:36.480 defense has gotten after. 0:38:37.880 --> 0:38:38.440 Who was it? 0:38:38.480 --> 0:38:44.120 Nobody knows who was that talking. It was, it's Jeremiah Well, 0:38:44.200 --> 0:38:45.320 that's a great point. 0:38:46.000 --> 0:38:49.080 I don't think it is Tony Grossy. The Browns reporters 0:38:49.560 --> 0:38:49.920 came on. 0:38:50.280 --> 0:38:54.719 I've always thought that was like Mark has a detailed 0:38:54.719 --> 0:38:56.160 catalog of all the you know what. 0:38:56.600 --> 0:38:59.160 I like, grew up reading Tony Grossy was like in 0:38:59.200 --> 0:39:02.239 middle school, I kind of you know. 0:39:01.600 --> 0:39:03.560 For some reason, I always thought it was DJ and 0:39:03.600 --> 0:39:06.759 it was almost like it was it was hard to 0:39:06.760 --> 0:39:08.759 pull the words out of him, like he didn't want to. 0:39:08.760 --> 0:39:12.320 Give you them. He's just like slowly, slowly. 0:39:12.400 --> 0:39:14.239 Sony Grossey might have known what he was doing there 0:39:14.280 --> 0:39:14.960 in that situation. 0:39:15.080 --> 0:39:16.560 Wait, what are we talking about again? 0:39:16.719 --> 0:39:18.880 I think I made a great point about the college 0:39:18.920 --> 0:39:24.640 defensive front they have gotten after has had some nice moments. 0:39:24.680 --> 0:39:27.399 Grover Stewart certainly you got you got Buckner, and that's 0:39:27.400 --> 0:39:29.040 the weakness of the Rams. But then you think of 0:39:29.360 --> 0:39:33.120 on the outside, these little receivers going down the field, 0:39:33.160 --> 0:39:37.319 can they win against some big colts cornerbacks. You know 0:39:37.320 --> 0:39:40.279 who impressed me last week was Juju Brent. I can't 0:39:40.320 --> 0:39:42.560 say I was too familiar with him as a draft prospect. 0:39:42.800 --> 0:39:45.520 He was like one of those guys that that if 0:39:45.560 --> 0:39:49.520 you're really into like speed score and raw athleticism. Score 0:39:49.680 --> 0:39:55.040 was maybe the most athletic cornerback in the gym, just 0:39:55.080 --> 0:39:57.279 like one of those guys who just like tested out 0:39:57.320 --> 0:39:59.600 of the gym, but what didn't really play that well 0:40:00.040 --> 0:40:03.239 at football. Uh, and kind of like Tarik Willen was 0:40:03.280 --> 0:40:05.160 a year ago and this was his first game a 0:40:05.200 --> 0:40:07.120 week ago because he was injured the first week and 0:40:07.200 --> 0:40:09.919 he bawled out against Baltimore. And he's a big guy. 0:40:09.920 --> 0:40:14.080 They have some big cornerbacks in Indianapolis. So I'm interested 0:40:14.080 --> 0:40:16.040 in that matchup. This is a fun little. 0:40:15.880 --> 0:40:18.239 Match job by Vegas. The Desert has this one, right. 0:40:18.239 --> 0:40:20.560 I get Colts by one and a half. 0:40:21.000 --> 0:40:23.719 That's actually some respect for the Rams there, it is. 0:40:23.719 --> 0:40:25.640 You know they're saying, not on neutral field, the Rams 0:40:25.640 --> 0:40:27.040 would bet. 0:40:26.480 --> 0:40:29.120 Her favorites in Week four after the misery of last 0:40:29.160 --> 0:40:31.360 season and the way people were talking about the team 0:40:31.400 --> 0:40:32.840 having so many issues. I'm with you. 0:40:32.880 --> 0:40:34.840 I think one thing that, like you thought, oh, without 0:40:34.880 --> 0:40:37.880 Jonathan Taylor, they're sitting ducks with a rookie quarterback like 0:40:37.880 --> 0:40:41.120 it's gonna put It's like Zach Moss, who like has 0:40:41.120 --> 0:40:44.560 been underwhelming career wise, like yes is currently and I'm 0:40:44.600 --> 0:40:47.600 not I'm not making a comparison, but he's outperforming what 0:40:47.680 --> 0:40:49.520 a banged up Jonathan Taylor was at this point a 0:40:49.600 --> 0:40:49.919 year ago. 0:40:49.920 --> 0:40:50.759 Like I would just say that. 0:40:50.800 --> 0:40:53.200 You know, he had one hundred and twenty two yards 0:40:53.280 --> 0:40:54.839 last week and like he looked good. 0:40:54.880 --> 0:40:56.000 It's like, I mean, they're not. 0:40:56.160 --> 0:40:57.879 That's not a total weakness for them where we thought 0:40:57.880 --> 0:40:58.279 it would be. 0:40:58.360 --> 0:41:01.879 That's stiching. That's a side that your coaches. I always say, 0:41:01.880 --> 0:41:04.200 you need a coach that brings something to the table. Well, 0:41:04.680 --> 0:41:06.880 the fact that you can see Zach Moss going for 0:41:06.920 --> 0:41:09.160 one hundred plus that you you have to put that 0:41:09.239 --> 0:41:12.919 on the coaching. I'm saying, the offensive line, the run game, 0:41:12.920 --> 0:41:14.840 it's impressive. Line's been a lot better like that. 0:41:15.000 --> 0:41:17.000 Yes, I'd be going crazy though as a Colts fan, 0:41:17.040 --> 0:41:19.520 because you're really happy with the start of the season overall, 0:41:19.640 --> 0:41:22.640 other than the riches and health stuff. And there are 0:41:22.680 --> 0:41:25.880 reports out there that Taylor's ankle Jonathan Taylor's ankle is 0:41:25.920 --> 0:41:30.960 fully healthy. There's also a report from Dan Graziano that 0:41:31.200 --> 0:41:33.600 he's nearing his he's eligible to come off the pup 0:41:33.640 --> 0:41:37.080 after this Sunday quote. Still doesn't want to play for 0:41:37.120 --> 0:41:40.000 the Colts, So it seems like this is heading toward 0:41:41.200 --> 0:41:43.080 a devorce. You know what. The Eagles are probably gonna 0:41:43.080 --> 0:41:44.680 get him for a six round pick or something, and 0:41:44.680 --> 0:41:46.879 then it's just gonna be like, you know, I would 0:41:46.920 --> 0:41:49.759 love to see this off. This team that is in 0:41:49.880 --> 0:41:53.239 kind of a bounce back place with an exciting quarterback. 0:41:53.600 --> 0:41:56.719 Give him a dynamic running back, because forget about twenty 0:41:56.800 --> 0:41:59.600 twenty two Jonathan Taylor, twenty twenty one, Jonathan Tylor is 0:42:00.160 --> 0:42:03.279 running back years of the last decade plus. Like, if 0:42:03.320 --> 0:42:04.879 you could get that out of this office, this team 0:42:04.920 --> 0:42:10.120 starts to get legitimately frisky and maybe even spicy. Yeah, 0:42:10.160 --> 0:42:11.799 but I don't think that's gonna happen based on the 0:42:11.840 --> 0:42:14.719 reports unless there's some type of come to Jesus conversation 0:42:15.000 --> 0:42:17.720 between ERSA and Taylor. And by the way, if anybody 0:42:17.719 --> 0:42:20.520 remembers the last conversation they had, it couldn't have gone worse. 0:42:20.560 --> 0:42:22.600 So no, I could see him on the Cowboys, but 0:42:22.640 --> 0:42:25.040 I'd say it. It's just another kind of credit to 0:42:25.080 --> 0:42:27.600 Shane Steichen that what's happened over the last couple of 0:42:27.640 --> 0:42:30.640 weeks has us forgetting all that drama from just a 0:42:30.680 --> 0:42:33.479 month ago, an organization that seemed to want to shoot 0:42:33.520 --> 0:42:34.399 itself in the foot endless. 0:42:34.520 --> 0:42:36.360 It's a fun game because it's a swing game I 0:42:36.360 --> 0:42:38.400 think for both teams, Like who's gonna be the feisty 0:42:38.440 --> 0:42:40.440 team because the Rams have the Eagles next week? But 0:42:40.480 --> 0:42:43.040 they get their starback and he actually wants to play 0:42:43.040 --> 0:42:46.200 for the Rams. Cooper Cup is supposedly gonna be ready 0:42:46.200 --> 0:42:47.359 to return for week five. 0:42:47.360 --> 0:42:48.440 But if if they. 0:42:48.280 --> 0:42:50.800 Follow one in three, then you start maybe hearing whispers 0:42:50.840 --> 0:42:53.640 about trade stuff and you got the Eagles next week, 0:42:53.719 --> 0:42:55.840 Like trade deadline starts getting pretty soon. But if they 0:42:55.880 --> 0:42:57.359 can win a couple of these games that they. 0:42:57.239 --> 0:43:00.400 Have, I want to see healthy Matt Stafford with healthy 0:43:00.440 --> 0:43:03.120 Cooper Cup, with Pooka and Akua. Let's I mean, that's 0:43:03.120 --> 0:43:06.800 gonna be that's fly, That's gonna be nice. 0:43:07.520 --> 0:43:09.880 We've also not given we maybe haven't given Sean McVay 0:43:09.960 --> 0:43:11.640 enough credit for what the Rams are right now. 0:43:12.239 --> 0:43:15.680 Yeah, they're watchable and competitive. All right, let's take a 0:43:15.680 --> 0:43:20.280 break and then we will continue on. All right, welcome back. 0:43:21.600 --> 0:43:25.319 I mentioned, uh remember I debuted a new seg on 0:43:25.520 --> 0:43:27.160 Wednesday show Media minute? 0:43:27.239 --> 0:43:27.440 Was it? 0:43:28.280 --> 0:43:30.280 I don't know. I like that. Actually it's good branding. 0:43:31.680 --> 0:43:32.920 Something along this line I did. 0:43:32.920 --> 0:43:36.120 Speaking of branding, I noticed Kyle Brand has a new venture, 0:43:36.520 --> 0:43:40.120 a new podcast. It's it's being advertised during our show. 0:43:41.320 --> 0:43:43.680 It's a ten minute podcast with with Kyle. 0:43:44.040 --> 0:43:46.000 Sounds great, sounds very great. 0:43:46.040 --> 0:43:49.080 Kyle's gonna kill it, I'm sure in his pitch of 0:43:49.120 --> 0:43:52.840 the podcast. In the commercial, he says, ah, doesn't everybody 0:43:52.880 --> 0:43:54.759 hate when you go to click into a podcast and 0:43:54.800 --> 0:43:57.000 the podcast is an hour and twenty seven minutes long, 0:43:57.200 --> 0:44:00.440 And it's like, that's like most of our podcast. So 0:44:00.480 --> 0:44:01.160 there's now. 0:44:01.280 --> 0:44:02.399 Couched inside our hour. 0:44:02.520 --> 0:44:03.160 So now there's a. 0:44:03.120 --> 0:44:07.840 Commercial from our own media group during our show saying, 0:44:07.920 --> 0:44:11.319 don't you hate when podcasts are like the show you're 0:44:11.360 --> 0:44:16.200 listening to? Just this is another media minute, give it 0:44:16.200 --> 0:44:21.200 to me, another media minute with Dan Hanss put Roberts 0:44:21.200 --> 0:44:23.320 on the spot, putting Roberts on the spot. 0:44:27.840 --> 0:44:30.400 And now it's time for the latest edition of the 0:44:30.440 --> 0:44:34.600 Media Landscape Report with host Dan Kansas. 0:44:34.760 --> 0:44:36.440 Yeah, like what I was just saying, Yeah, like you 0:44:36.480 --> 0:44:38.880 already did it, You already did a minute. 0:44:39.760 --> 0:44:43.880 You dis Yeah, Brand's gonna do great. Kyle's excellent. 0:44:43.960 --> 0:44:45.680 He also was the one that said he didn't like 0:44:47.040 --> 0:44:50.399 getting asked for Yes, another podcast, He's coming after us. 0:44:50.680 --> 0:44:53.359 Hey, those are our twenty seven minutes. They're gonna pay 0:44:53.360 --> 0:44:56.399 for my kids to go to college. I would right 0:44:56.520 --> 0:44:56.839 it up. 0:44:57.280 --> 0:45:01.280 The eyebrow would go a tilt if we start seeing 0:45:01.320 --> 0:45:04.640 a bunch of guests on Kyle's new podcast. Yeah, it's 0:45:04.760 --> 0:45:07.680 just like kyle solo ten minute joint, which, by the way, 0:45:07.760 --> 0:45:08.799 sounds like a pretty good gig. 0:45:09.800 --> 0:45:11.520 You'd have to go on for like forty eight seconds 0:45:11.560 --> 0:45:13.040 as a guest. That sounds doable to me. 0:45:13.640 --> 0:45:15.919 Or for his next ad is like, don't you hate 0:45:15.920 --> 0:45:18.160 it when it's just like three guys but they don't 0:45:18.160 --> 0:45:21.439 really totally focus on football and one of them can't 0:45:21.480 --> 0:45:24.239 decide whether they really like the Browns or not, Like, is. 0:45:24.200 --> 0:45:26.960 There anything worse than three middle aged whites from Los 0:45:27.000 --> 0:45:28.480 Angeles who never played the game? 0:45:29.200 --> 0:45:32.680 Well, two of you didn't, but like, yeah, who needs 0:45:32.719 --> 0:45:33.480 a touch of mirth? 0:45:34.960 --> 0:45:36.880 Let's go to the next pick in the draft. 0:45:37.080 --> 0:45:39.840 No, let's not because I want to also share something. 0:45:40.040 --> 0:45:41.160 Okay that. 0:45:42.520 --> 0:45:43.920 Let's just have a music underlay. 0:45:44.320 --> 0:45:47.280 Well, it's connected to last week last shows music underlay 0:45:47.320 --> 0:45:51.200 the media minute last episode, I mentioned that I really 0:45:51.239 --> 0:45:56.719 wanted to play Terry Bradshaw not being able to place 0:45:56.760 --> 0:46:02.479 Desmond Rudders name, and Fox Red threw up the stop 0:46:02.480 --> 0:46:06.200 sign on it. Yeah, but they don't realize there's a workaround. 0:46:06.840 --> 0:46:10.040 The Fans of the Hard Knocks podcast know that we 0:46:10.080 --> 0:46:13.480 cannot use Leev Shreiver's voice on that program, the narrator 0:46:13.520 --> 0:46:15.719 of Hard Knocks. But we do have a workaround in 0:46:15.760 --> 0:46:19.359 the forum of Jason Zumwalt. Oh yes, our sound guy, 0:46:20.120 --> 0:46:24.239 our voiceover artist artiste, the new voice of God, and 0:46:24.280 --> 0:46:27.560 you who I'm not over the U. So I asked 0:46:27.640 --> 0:46:33.360 Jason to listen to the Terry Ridder issue on Sunday's 0:46:33.400 --> 0:46:37.200 Fox pregame show and give us a reenactment, which Fox 0:46:37.239 --> 0:46:40.759 cannot stop. They have no legal recourse but to let 0:46:40.840 --> 0:46:43.319 us do this right now, So eat it. 0:46:43.640 --> 0:46:49.280 Murdoch All School football smash Mouth four to time. Russians 0:46:49.360 --> 0:46:52.560 last week against the Packers. They win that football game. 0:46:52.880 --> 0:46:56.040 I lock what they're doing. I locked their quarterback out 0:46:56.040 --> 0:46:59.520 of Cincinnati. What's his name, Ritter Ridder? 0:47:00.239 --> 0:47:04.120 Learn his name when he gets good. Okay, that's not 0:47:04.200 --> 0:47:06.600 like a script. That was actually what Terry Bradshaw said 0:47:06.640 --> 0:47:07.120 on Fox. 0:47:07.520 --> 0:47:09.400 That was better than Terry Bradshaw. 0:47:09.800 --> 0:47:11.480 I love that he nailed it. 0:47:11.680 --> 0:47:14.799 Did you know that Terry also had takes about the 0:47:14.960 --> 0:47:19.160 t Swift Kelsey romance. No, well, well he didn't, but 0:47:19.320 --> 0:47:20.640 if he did, this is what it would sound like. 0:47:22.480 --> 0:47:23.200 And I did. 0:47:23.360 --> 0:47:27.160 I saw Travis Kelsey with his galfriend up in the 0:47:27.239 --> 0:47:31.040 suite with his mama. Who is she Lord Dashian or 0:47:31.680 --> 0:47:34.920 Hilton's sister? Anyway, I wish the best. 0:47:34.640 --> 0:47:36.760 To them and all their future children. 0:47:36.960 --> 0:47:38.279 Gonna be a tall letter. 0:47:38.840 --> 0:47:41.319 Both of them got some hot from what I can tell. 0:47:41.600 --> 0:47:48.719 Where am I listen? Air Porter TV Studio? Oh my god, 0:47:49.920 --> 0:47:54.800 couldn't stop us Fox, not if you tried. Thank you, 0:47:54.880 --> 0:47:57.560 fake Terry Bradshaw. All right, let's get back to the draft. 0:47:58.960 --> 0:47:59.960 Greg double an. 0:47:59.880 --> 0:48:05.120 Eye, I am excited that Patriots Cowboys with Burkhart and 0:48:05.160 --> 0:48:10.480 Greg Olsen and Aaron Andrews and Tom Ronaldy is available 0:48:10.600 --> 0:48:12.800 seven point favorites the Dallas Cowboys. 0:48:13.120 --> 0:48:16.520 Tom is very serious man, that Roald. You could tell 0:48:16.600 --> 0:48:18.080 some people are just very serious. 0:48:18.320 --> 0:48:20.920 Yeah, well, then they throw him in these sort of 0:48:20.960 --> 0:48:23.279 stilted ads where they try to turn into a funny man. 0:48:23.280 --> 0:48:24.040 But that's not who he is. 0:48:24.080 --> 0:48:24.719 We got an idea. 0:48:24.800 --> 0:48:29.760 Let's have Tom play against type I. I'm really intrigued 0:48:29.800 --> 0:48:32.600 to see this game because I think the Patriots have 0:48:32.640 --> 0:48:36.759 shown parts of their team that are promising depending on 0:48:36.800 --> 0:48:39.640 the week. They haven't put it all together yet, but 0:48:39.680 --> 0:48:42.760 they're playing a Cowboys team that. 0:48:43.440 --> 0:48:45.720 Really needs to improve after last week. 0:48:45.560 --> 0:48:47.760 And I think maybe has a little bit of concern 0:48:47.800 --> 0:48:50.040 about this old Texas Coast offense that we were so 0:48:50.080 --> 0:48:52.719 excited about a week ago, or at least Dak Prescott's 0:48:52.719 --> 0:48:55.040 place in it. When I went to go rewatch that game, 0:48:55.040 --> 0:48:57.680 I really wanted to see what was up with Dak, 0:48:57.719 --> 0:49:02.600 because he's the ultimate guy that's better on film on 0:49:02.640 --> 0:49:05.640 the All twenty two than he is on the TV copy. 0:49:05.800 --> 0:49:07.560 Like you see it and you can kind of like, oh, 0:49:07.640 --> 0:49:09.400 he's like he's a quarterbacks quarterback. 0:49:09.440 --> 0:49:11.760 He's making great decisions. You kind of see what he's seeing. 0:49:12.200 --> 0:49:12.400 You know. 0:49:12.440 --> 0:49:16.000 He's always been a very poor man's Bradier Manning type 0:49:16.040 --> 0:49:19.240 where he's he's winning from the neck up and seeing 0:49:19.239 --> 0:49:23.120 the field, and last week Gannon put it to him, 0:49:23.600 --> 0:49:26.239 and there were many plays in that game where he 0:49:26.320 --> 0:49:28.799 was double clutching, and I wanted to go rewatch those 0:49:28.880 --> 0:49:31.880 double clutch plays and see what he's seeing. And guys 0:49:32.200 --> 0:49:35.920 seem like they were open, and Dak seemed kind of spooked, 0:49:36.200 --> 0:49:39.440 and then he just started making some crazy decisions like 0:49:39.520 --> 0:49:41.600 the interception you talked about the end of just like 0:49:42.000 --> 0:49:45.400 what are you possibly seeing there? And I think Gannon 0:49:45.480 --> 0:49:48.640 scrambled him with some of the defensive game planning. Fast 0:49:48.680 --> 0:49:51.560 forward to this week and you're playing a Belichick team 0:49:51.560 --> 0:49:54.880 who's had decent success against Dak in the past, not 0:49:54.920 --> 0:49:57.640 like they've played that much, but slowed him down when 0:49:57.640 --> 0:49:59.239 he's been playing better. And I think this is a 0:49:59.280 --> 0:50:03.160 tough defense to go against if you start seeing ghosts, 0:50:03.239 --> 0:50:06.160 because they are able to change who they are. 0:50:06.040 --> 0:50:08.399 On a week to week basis. They really are great 0:50:08.440 --> 0:50:08.640 at that. 0:50:08.760 --> 0:50:10.839 They did it last week by putting all their big 0:50:10.880 --> 0:50:13.200 faties up front to stop the Jets run game and 0:50:13.280 --> 0:50:16.160 Darren Zach Wilson Beta. You know, they got they got 0:50:16.200 --> 0:50:18.160 a little bit of everyone. And I'm just saying they 0:50:18.200 --> 0:50:20.360 got the three hundred and ten pounders. 0:50:19.960 --> 0:50:22.560 You could call them hogs. Yeah, but this. 0:50:22.600 --> 0:50:28.560 Week that this week, this week they got their three safeties. 0:50:28.560 --> 0:50:31.000 Hopefully they get some cornerbacks back. I mean they're not 0:50:31.040 --> 0:50:34.560 getting Jack Jones back from suspension yet. Marcus Jones is out, 0:50:34.600 --> 0:50:37.120 but maybe you get Jonathan Jones. You got all these safeties, 0:50:37.120 --> 0:50:39.719 you're Bill Prepper's playing, well, can you scramble back up? 0:50:40.000 --> 0:50:40.959 I'm optimistic. 0:50:41.040 --> 0:50:44.359 Well. The seeing ghosts is the famous Sam Darnold line 0:50:44.400 --> 0:50:47.160 from Monday Night Football a few years back against the Patriots, 0:50:47.239 --> 0:50:50.879 and that's yes, what they specialize in. And Dak isn't 0:50:50.920 --> 0:50:53.480 trusting what he's seeing with his eyes and getting confused 0:50:53.520 --> 0:50:55.440 by the coverage, and yeah, you got me spooked. If 0:50:55.440 --> 0:50:56.319 I'm a Cowboys fan. 0:50:56.440 --> 0:50:59.240 It's just one game, just one game something. 0:50:59.400 --> 0:51:01.319 But yeah, you're gonna want to give him a game 0:51:01.360 --> 0:51:04.560 script that puts him in some good passing situations where 0:51:04.719 --> 0:51:06.799 Belichick isn't able to really go to work and go 0:51:06.880 --> 0:51:07.520 to town on you. 0:51:07.760 --> 0:51:09.640 It's one of these games where it's like you're definitely 0:51:09.719 --> 0:51:13.520 checking to see who's returning for Dallas because you know, 0:51:13.560 --> 0:51:16.360 I think last week was impacted by your offensive line injuries. 0:51:16.960 --> 0:51:20.719 Mike McCarthy said on Thursday Today that Tyron Smith still 0:51:20.719 --> 0:51:23.800 in the rehab group, Zach Martin, Tyler Biadish doing a 0:51:23.840 --> 0:51:25.799 little bit more. I mean, it just matters a lot 0:51:25.880 --> 0:51:29.200 because I don't love the idea of like Christian Barmore 0:51:29.280 --> 0:51:32.120 and Matthew Judon against the banged up Cowboys line the 0:51:32.120 --> 0:51:34.239 Patriots last week against the Jets, and I know the 0:51:34.280 --> 0:51:36.680 Jets offensive line is a slight disaster at the moment, 0:51:36.719 --> 0:51:41.360 but sixty one point five percent pressure rate their highest 0:51:41.440 --> 0:51:44.080 for New England since twenty eighteen, So they're clicking. And 0:51:44.120 --> 0:51:46.120 if you get if they if you get a Dallas 0:51:46.120 --> 0:51:49.160 banged up offensive line, I don't love that because the 0:51:49.160 --> 0:51:52.480 Patriots to me, are a snooze fest on offense. They 0:51:52.520 --> 0:51:54.920 allowed ten yards passing on defense last week. Again, I 0:51:54.960 --> 0:51:57.240 know it's the Jets, but it's like that just doesn't 0:51:57.239 --> 0:51:59.960 happen in NFL games in general, thirty nine yards in total. 0:52:00.280 --> 0:52:02.359 So this is Patriots defense can hang with anyone. 0:52:02.480 --> 0:52:03.400 You saw it against the Dolphins. 0:52:03.480 --> 0:52:06.560 Yeah. Two above the tree tops takes on this one. 0:52:06.600 --> 0:52:09.279 First of all, if the Cowboys are what I still 0:52:09.320 --> 0:52:12.480 think they are, which is a BTT big time team, 0:52:12.920 --> 0:52:15.880 this is when you at home after an embarrassing kind 0:52:15.880 --> 0:52:18.439 of loss where you play like dog poop and it's 0:52:18.480 --> 0:52:21.640 like if your head coach and your DC and everybody 0:52:21.760 --> 0:52:24.440 are good at what they do, they have you coached 0:52:24.520 --> 0:52:26.680 up and pissed off, and you go and you kill 0:52:26.760 --> 0:52:31.080 a middling team. The Patriots are like the textbook definition 0:52:31.160 --> 0:52:33.520 to me of an eight to nine maybe if the 0:52:33.520 --> 0:52:37.160 ball bounces right nine to eighteen. I just don't see 0:52:37.200 --> 0:52:41.200 a lot with this offense to be able to make 0:52:41.520 --> 0:52:44.200 a big play against the Cowboys and to sustain drives 0:52:44.239 --> 0:52:46.879 throughout the afternoon. I know they did it pretty well 0:52:46.880 --> 0:52:48.759 against the Jets, but even then, I mean, what was 0:52:48.760 --> 0:52:50.759 it they hit one big play. I would love to 0:52:50.760 --> 0:52:52.640 see what like their yards per play was if you 0:52:52.680 --> 0:52:54.760 take out the coverage bust on the tight end touchdown. 0:52:55.040 --> 0:52:58.000 So I think New England is a very mediocre offense, 0:52:58.040 --> 0:53:01.839 and I think the Cowboys are going to run away 0:53:01.840 --> 0:53:02.200 with this one. 0:53:02.200 --> 0:53:03.960 I think this is what is what is the spread 0:53:04.000 --> 0:53:04.960 on this It is seven? 0:53:05.400 --> 0:53:07.440 Yeah, I think the Cowboys are gonna get angry and 0:53:07.480 --> 0:53:10.160 win by fourteen to seventeen, a generous spread. 0:53:10.480 --> 0:53:14.839 Well, I not only disagree, is he gonna I disagree 0:53:15.360 --> 0:53:17.440 to the point that I think they're gonna leave a 0:53:17.520 --> 0:53:20.680 little bit of that roof open on Sunday, That Mac 0:53:20.760 --> 0:53:25.840 Jones oh played pretty well under pressure, that the defense 0:53:25.880 --> 0:53:27.880 can keep it close, and that it's gonna be a 0:53:27.880 --> 0:53:30.000 lower scoring game than you think, and that these Dallas 0:53:30.040 --> 0:53:32.440 linebackers looked a little shaky and suddenly you're not as 0:53:32.480 --> 0:53:34.960 deep at cornerback without Trayvon Diggs, and that this is 0:53:34.960 --> 0:53:37.239 gonna be back and forth. Patriots might win this game 0:53:37.280 --> 0:53:39.800 straight up, but it's definitely gonna be raiding in Dallas. 0:53:39.800 --> 0:53:42.200 The Raid Bakers coming out for the first time this year. 0:53:42.280 --> 0:53:45.680 Let's go oh wow, covering that seven points. 0:53:46.160 --> 0:53:48.239 A love that seven points. This game just got a 0:53:48.239 --> 0:53:52.359 lot more interesting to them. Make sure Marcus you know 0:53:52.719 --> 0:53:57.399 this one over here. Yeah, if he does get this right, 0:53:57.600 --> 0:54:00.720 he will be honking right. Sometimes when the rain maker, 0:54:00.920 --> 0:54:04.000 when it's dry, right, he doesn't mention it when people 0:54:04.040 --> 0:54:04.560 have put there. 0:54:04.680 --> 0:54:10.160 If on Greg, we don't catch it. 0:54:10.760 --> 0:54:14.080 That's that's producer work too. We gotta hold Greg accountable 0:54:14.120 --> 0:54:14.320 on this. 0:54:14.600 --> 0:54:15.839 People's real, real money. 0:54:15.960 --> 0:54:16.160 Yeah. 0:54:16.200 --> 0:54:18.520 And if you look at the record from last year 0:54:18.600 --> 0:54:22.440 with something like seven and three or six, we don't 0:54:22.480 --> 0:54:22.920 know that. 0:54:23.239 --> 0:54:24.719 You got to look over the whole You don't know 0:54:24.800 --> 0:54:27.640 that the same people are are getting behind all of 0:54:27.680 --> 0:54:29.799 your picks. What about the person that got behind those three? 0:54:29.960 --> 0:54:32.160 That's on them. They live on the street, now, that's 0:54:32.200 --> 0:54:32.480 on them. 0:54:32.560 --> 0:54:33.839 Sound like Jordan belfour. 0:54:33.560 --> 0:54:35.680 Wouldn't wouldn't shock me if they went straight up. But 0:54:35.840 --> 0:54:37.000 I'll take the seven. 0:54:37.160 --> 0:54:38.879 I thought you were going to lock the Patriots, which 0:54:38.880 --> 0:54:41.200 would have been well, I already did lock the Seahawks. 0:54:41.280 --> 0:54:44.120 So to make a change, I'm doing the classic Uh, 0:54:44.280 --> 0:54:46.600 I'm locking up Gino and taking the Patriots and the 0:54:46.680 --> 0:54:50.400 rain Maker. This is maybe the recipe, not the recipe 0:54:51.120 --> 0:54:55.640 for an emotion. I'm making a surprising greg. 0:54:55.440 --> 0:54:58.080 Back by the way yesterday, I don't know what you know. 0:54:58.160 --> 0:55:00.320 He said he didn't like talking anymore. No, heat it 0:55:00.400 --> 0:55:02.640 up there, he's all the way back. 0:55:02.680 --> 0:55:04.479 Hey. Once the camera is on, it's like. 0:55:06.640 --> 0:55:09.280 What about the book? What about the Englishman? 0:55:09.480 --> 0:55:09.640 Yeah? 0:55:10.719 --> 0:55:14.879 We ben Isaac's book about you promised the quote about 0:55:14.960 --> 0:55:18.840 us you promised. I brought it home with me. I 0:55:18.880 --> 0:55:22.160 took it out of my back, back, back back, and 0:55:22.320 --> 0:55:24.120 I haven't gone past that yet. 0:55:24.320 --> 0:55:29.320 But I mean, what, all right? My next pick is Dolphins. 0:55:29.440 --> 0:55:32.200 No, rather, I already took the Dolphins, the Broncos and 0:55:32.239 --> 0:55:35.880 the Bears, and this is these are two winless teams. 0:55:36.840 --> 0:55:37.520 Uh. 0:55:37.760 --> 0:55:39.720 But I have a strategy. When I have a great 0:55:39.800 --> 0:55:42.640 game like Dolphins Bills, I kind of want one that 0:55:42.880 --> 0:55:45.040 can get a little less attention as my second game, 0:55:45.400 --> 0:55:46.640 and that's Broncos Bears. 0:55:46.800 --> 0:55:48.600 What do we call a matchup of two oh and 0:55:48.640 --> 0:55:52.520 three teams? What do we have for that one? I 0:55:52.520 --> 0:55:54.399 don't have a great name for that. I don't It's 0:55:54.400 --> 0:55:59.200 not a double wounded dog game, double cornered animal. This 0:55:59.360 --> 0:56:02.239 is a I think one of these animals died a 0:56:02.280 --> 0:56:02.640 week ago. 0:56:03.760 --> 0:56:04.520 It's a tough team. 0:56:04.640 --> 0:56:08.120 For whoever loses this is a loser goal goes home. Okay, 0:56:08.160 --> 0:56:11.560 whoever loses this one, it's I mean ohing for take 0:56:11.600 --> 0:56:11.960 a walk. 0:56:13.239 --> 0:56:16.239 I think it's probably you're cooked and on for either team. 0:56:16.440 --> 0:56:19.279 I think the Bears are to go home this year 0:56:19.480 --> 0:56:20.800 to be eliminated from the season. 0:56:21.680 --> 0:56:25.480 I feel like the Bears our home, mattib Refluse, Remember 0:56:25.520 --> 0:56:28.560 they signed those linebackers. Everyone was all fired up tremade 0:56:28.640 --> 0:56:31.640 Edmunds and and t J. Edwards the first day of 0:56:31.880 --> 0:56:34.680 training camp for you know, our first day of free 0:56:34.680 --> 0:56:39.799 agency for like thirty million dollars guaranteed. Edmunds is struggling 0:56:40.280 --> 0:56:43.520 and his replacement in Buffalo playing very well to Bernard 0:56:43.640 --> 0:56:46.439 and Jakwan Brisker like a second round picky seventy fourth 0:56:46.440 --> 0:56:48.680 out of seventy eight and in safety ratings like they 0:56:48.680 --> 0:56:51.160 were supposed to be built around defense or defensive coach, 0:56:51.239 --> 0:56:53.320 it's not working. But one of the other reasons, you 0:56:53.440 --> 0:56:55.000 just gotta throw this out that I took this game 0:56:55.160 --> 0:56:58.000 to Matt Ryan game. Okay, I and you Matt Ryan. 0:56:58.920 --> 0:57:02.279 Matt Ryan, the broadcast has a chance I think to 0:57:02.360 --> 0:57:07.120 be much like Matt Ryan, the player underrated better than 0:57:07.120 --> 0:57:11.680 people give him credit for, and a connoisseur's favorite. He's 0:57:11.719 --> 0:57:13.799 starting to make some points here where I'm like, I'm 0:57:13.840 --> 0:57:15.239 learning something from you, Matt Ryan. 0:57:15.320 --> 0:57:19.520 Despite him double crossing me in Fantasy several seasons, I 0:57:19.560 --> 0:57:22.000 always liked him as a player. That's why I drafted 0:57:22.080 --> 0:57:25.720 him multiple times. And I do think he's done a 0:57:25.720 --> 0:57:27.600 good job. I thought his agent did him a bit 0:57:27.600 --> 0:57:33.280 of a disservice by without well. According to Matt Ryan, 0:57:34.400 --> 0:57:39.080 he reached out to the Jets and said, hey, that's 0:57:39.120 --> 0:57:43.160 available if you want him, as did Carson Wentz representation, 0:57:43.240 --> 0:57:45.920 according to a Fox report, and the Jets are like, 0:57:46.000 --> 0:57:48.600 now we're good. Because the Jets are fine, don't look up. 0:57:50.080 --> 0:57:52.479 And then Matt Ryan had to kind of come out. 0:57:52.560 --> 0:57:54.320 And I don't know if it was who it was with, 0:57:54.360 --> 0:57:57.320 who the interview was with, but he said he named 0:57:57.320 --> 0:57:59.520 his agent, and it was like, you know, that's what 0:57:59.560 --> 0:58:02.120 a great ad agent does. Like he was doing due 0:58:02.120 --> 0:58:04.640 diligence for me, and I don't know. 0:58:04.840 --> 0:58:07.080 That's probably I don't believe Matt Ryan for a second. 0:58:07.120 --> 0:58:09.320 That's the agent taking the fall here. They're they're close, 0:58:09.480 --> 0:58:10.919 they get they all get how the right. 0:58:10.960 --> 0:58:12.520 But why come out even say anything? 0:58:12.720 --> 0:58:15.200 Well, you must have been asked directly. Yeah, he doesn't 0:58:15.240 --> 0:58:18.320 like that. Said no, he was probably on a podcast 0:58:18.400 --> 0:58:19.280 or something. I don't know. 0:58:19.320 --> 0:58:22.160 He was in a tough spot. They got him in 0:58:22.160 --> 0:58:24.000 that three man booth. So if he does, if he does, 0:58:24.040 --> 0:58:24.960 his checked her seat out. 0:58:25.040 --> 0:58:25.400 That's right. 0:58:25.440 --> 0:58:27.560 We were talking about that. I think that was the plan, 0:58:27.680 --> 0:58:31.840 maybe from CBS, because I was like, he said that, Oh, really, 0:58:31.920 --> 0:58:33.640 he was keeping the door up. My agent is one 0:58:33.680 --> 0:58:35.360 of the best at what he does. Todd Franz is 0:58:35.360 --> 0:58:37.360 incredible and he wouldn't be doing his job if he 0:58:37.400 --> 0:58:40.240 wasn't looking into certain situations. He said when he took 0:58:40.240 --> 0:58:43.400 the CBS job that he wasn't necessarily out out because 0:58:44.160 --> 0:58:48.760 let's be real, Tiki and Matt Ryan, I don't need Tiki. 0:58:49.520 --> 0:58:52.080 Tiki's just flying off the handle. He'll just say things 0:58:52.080 --> 0:58:55.120 and I'm like, are you really just it's just like 0:58:55.160 --> 0:58:58.760 it's he he announces a game like it's morning drive 0:58:58.840 --> 0:59:00.760 time in New York, which just doesn't work because like 0:59:01.040 --> 0:59:04.720 you actually don't seem like you're following this team close 0:59:04.840 --> 0:59:07.000 enough to have that how to take about their offensive 0:59:07.040 --> 0:59:08.920 line like say seen. 0:59:09.440 --> 0:59:12.400 Speaking of New York right he he does a show 0:59:12.560 --> 0:59:14.640 with Evan Roberts on w f an and New York. 0:59:15.080 --> 0:59:19.360 Joe Beningo, famous like WFN host and and Jet's fanatic, 0:59:19.440 --> 0:59:23.320 goes on the show with Roberts and tells Tiki he 0:59:23.360 --> 0:59:25.960 couldn't he couldn't know. I'm trying to remember what it was, 0:59:26.000 --> 0:59:28.200 but he said, I know what you were at your 0:59:28.240 --> 0:59:30.520 game on Sunday. You don't You don't know what we're 0:59:30.560 --> 0:59:32.840 talking about right now. You didn't watch the tape. And 0:59:32.960 --> 0:59:36.840 Tiki turns off his mic, go turns to Roberts and 0:59:36.880 --> 0:59:38.480 you can hear on Roberts his mic and goes, that's 0:59:38.480 --> 0:59:40.760 both and gets off and walks out of the studio, 0:59:42.120 --> 0:59:43.720 which is yet to happen on our show. No one's 0:59:43.720 --> 0:59:44.840 ever walked out of the studio. 0:59:46.320 --> 0:59:49.040 What there was wasn't Is that? Did that ever happen 0:59:49.200 --> 0:59:49.760 way back? 0:59:49.840 --> 0:59:52.240 Or Mark had one walkout? That's right? 0:59:53.000 --> 0:59:53.680 Was it not? For sure? 0:59:53.960 --> 0:59:54.520 Talking about. 0:59:56.920 --> 0:59:57.600 It was early on? 0:59:57.680 --> 0:59:58.920 I want more evidence of that. 0:59:59.200 --> 1:00:00.440 It was in It was in Culver. 1:00:01.360 --> 1:00:02.920 I mean I get it would be in Culver. We've 1:00:02.960 --> 1:00:03.880 only been here for two years. 1:00:04.840 --> 1:00:07.400 Listened to the show that they well, well, maybe we 1:00:07.480 --> 1:00:08.640 might have covered it up at the time. 1:00:08.920 --> 1:00:09.760 I think we could. 1:00:11.000 --> 1:00:13.680 I mean, I'm not saying it's totally impossible, but I 1:00:13.800 --> 1:00:14.840 just don't recall. 1:00:14.680 --> 1:00:17.240 It might have been around like the Sunday night drop. 1:00:18.040 --> 1:00:20.320 Is that so right? 1:00:20.520 --> 1:00:23.320 There is one where I'm pretty sure you stormed out. 1:00:23.440 --> 1:00:25.720 Really, I'd like to think it was like a TD 1:00:26.000 --> 1:00:28.120 TD day time it was there. 1:00:28.200 --> 1:00:29.840 I had to be a little bit for show. 1:00:30.240 --> 1:00:32.800 And by the way, Broncos, you're in this game too, 1:00:32.920 --> 1:00:35.120 but play better if you want us to talk about 1:00:35.160 --> 1:00:36.080 your team more deeply. 1:00:36.560 --> 1:00:36.960 Uh. 1:00:37.080 --> 1:00:40.200 That their article that that pointed out in Denver media 1:00:40.240 --> 1:00:43.240 this week that was like Russ is actually earning his paycheck. 1:00:43.280 --> 1:00:45.440 I mean, let's come back to us. Russ is like 1:00:46.560 --> 1:00:50.200 replacement level right now. And you guys want to exactly 1:00:51.640 --> 1:00:54.000 you want to take a victory lap that he's been fine, 1:00:54.040 --> 1:00:55.600 he's like the fifth highest paid quarterback. 1:00:55.600 --> 1:00:56.680 And yes, he's been fine. 1:00:56.760 --> 1:00:59.720 He's been an average The problem and I'll tell you what. 1:01:00.560 --> 1:01:03.480 Some would say, this is madness. Others would say, God, 1:01:03.560 --> 1:01:05.240 only a real man could do such a thing here. 1:01:05.600 --> 1:01:09.960 But the Broncos that they're giving up seventy one are 1:01:10.000 --> 1:01:13.400 facing a a Bears team that's not even a real team. 1:01:13.480 --> 1:01:16.160 They are not a professional football team at this point. 1:01:16.240 --> 1:01:18.760 And I don't say that to antagonize Bears fans because 1:01:18.800 --> 1:01:21.160 they know it too. They've been watching what's going on. 1:01:21.200 --> 1:01:24.760 It's absolute chaos. They can't unlock the offense. The defense 1:01:24.800 --> 1:01:26.919 doesn't even know where it's going. The DC is god 1:01:27.000 --> 1:01:30.880 knows where, not with the Bears anymore. And for that reason, 1:01:31.040 --> 1:01:36.280 the Denver Broncos on the road three teams and three 1:01:36.360 --> 1:01:41.080 team having had a seventy burger hung on their neck 1:01:41.440 --> 1:01:45.840 a week ago, We'll get w number one locking up 1:01:45.880 --> 1:01:49.479 the Denver Broncos by Sean Payton. Let's go, buddy boy. 1:01:50.040 --> 1:01:53.480 Well, if they have, you know, even twelve less mistackles 1:01:53.480 --> 1:01:55.160 than the twenty four they had a week ago, that 1:01:55.200 --> 1:01:58.000 would be fine. They were giving up a league high 1:01:58.000 --> 1:01:59.520 one hundred and seventy seven yards. 1:01:59.360 --> 1:02:00.960 Rush Dolphins offense. 1:02:01.120 --> 1:02:01.560 No it's not. 1:02:01.920 --> 1:02:04.520 I mean the two teams combined gave up one hundred 1:02:04.520 --> 1:02:08.280 and eleven points last week. So this is, if nothing else, 1:02:08.320 --> 1:02:09.400 one of the more interesting lives. 1:02:09.400 --> 1:02:11.680 I I see two teams that are in a really 1:02:11.720 --> 1:02:15.640 bad way, but I find the Bears to be completely 1:02:15.760 --> 1:02:19.040 untethered they're like that movie where the guy in outer 1:02:19.120 --> 1:02:21.320 space is he's tied to the rope and he's doing 1:02:21.360 --> 1:02:24.320 some repairs on the space station and then like he 1:02:24.360 --> 1:02:26.080 gets hit by a moon rock or something and he 1:02:26.160 --> 1:02:29.680 just floats away. Yeah, that's the Bears. The the Broncos 1:02:29.720 --> 1:02:32.400 are just like, I don't know, they're passed out drunk 1:02:32.440 --> 1:02:35.760 within the space station, but they're they're still technically part 1:02:35.760 --> 1:02:36.400 of the universe. 1:02:36.440 --> 1:02:38.640 They lost theirst two games by a combined three points. 1:02:39.040 --> 1:02:39.480 That's fair. 1:02:40.400 --> 1:02:43.360 I like, I like Russell Wilson having a good game 1:02:43.400 --> 1:02:46.880 here because I think he's been playing highly decently too, 1:02:46.920 --> 1:02:52.040 almost good. Well, and we're gonna we're gonna take this one. 1:02:52.200 --> 1:02:54.040 We're gonna take this one home. Bab what's the spread 1:02:54.040 --> 1:02:56.959 on it? Three three Broncos laying three? 1:02:57.040 --> 1:03:00.440 Okay, here we go, let's fly Somehow the bronc are 1:03:00.720 --> 1:03:03.520 are favored on the road after giving up seventy points. 1:03:03.560 --> 1:03:05.520 I don't know, I mean, and that's exactly what I'm 1:03:05.520 --> 1:03:06.440 talking about. 1:03:06.640 --> 1:03:10.200 The Bear that happening philosophy has been lock against teams 1:03:10.240 --> 1:03:11.280 more than lock for a team. 1:03:11.360 --> 1:03:12.160 So this is a good one. 1:03:12.240 --> 1:03:14.400 Base though. Let's take a break and we'll be right 1:03:14.440 --> 1:03:15.640 back with the rest of the draft. 1:03:16.560 --> 1:03:19.320 Hey, everyone's Scott Hansen here, and this is NFL Plus 1:03:19.360 --> 1:03:22.200 where you can catch every play all in one place. 1:03:22.920 --> 1:03:25.960 You get access to live, local and primetime games on 1:03:26.040 --> 1:03:29.560 your mobile phone and tablet.

But I 1:04:02.320 --> 1:04:05.560 get my own nicknames. Also, so you had fact No, 1:04:05.640 --> 1:04:08.800 you had Wes that gave Daddy Rich based on a 1:04:08.840 --> 1:04:11.800 Piston's Bad Boys book danzas is from McAfee. 1:04:13.200 --> 1:04:17.200 I pointed that out, said the credit or West credit 1:04:17.360 --> 1:04:19.440 for that. 1:04:19.280 --> 1:04:19.840 But that's two. 1:04:20.360 --> 1:04:21.920 But you're correcting a point that. 1:04:23.760 --> 1:04:25.840 Your initial statement was that I come up with all 1:04:25.880 --> 1:04:31.160 my nicknames that by my account outside sources. 1:04:31.160 --> 1:04:33.320 But that leaves you as the only person I've ever 1:04:33.360 --> 1:04:35.880 met that has given themselves five nicknames or whatever it 1:04:35.920 --> 1:04:36.800 is sin or seven. 1:04:36.880 --> 1:04:39.440 Think of all the failed nicknames around the eyes that 1:04:39.520 --> 1:04:40.800 haven't even made it to are yet. 1:04:41.360 --> 1:04:43.080 I think we had a point that degree. 1:04:43.160 --> 1:04:46.840 There's a there's a pattern or a trend, or a compulsion. 1:04:46.960 --> 1:04:51.520 Johnny Knuckles, Johnny Chuckles with the host with the most 1:04:51.760 --> 1:04:52.080 you know. 1:04:52.040 --> 1:04:56.280 All the I've never heard that one either. Johnny Chuckles 1:04:56.320 --> 1:04:58.320 was a maybe more of a character. 1:04:58.000 --> 1:04:59.600 Than a nickname. I think it grinds your gears a 1:04:59.640 --> 1:05:02.760 little bit, Greg that I have nicknames. It's not they're 1:05:02.760 --> 1:05:05.840 coming from outside the building, inside the building, They're they're everywhere. 1:05:05.880 --> 1:05:06.240 That's all. 1:05:06.280 --> 1:05:10.440 I got a nickname for you. Okay, I want to 1:05:10.440 --> 1:05:10.720 hear it. 1:05:10.840 --> 1:05:12.360 No, it's more than me just sort of saying. 1:05:12.160 --> 1:05:16.560 Come on, all right, here we go on with it. 1:05:17.520 --> 1:05:20.440 I have to pick another game, which is ridiculous. I've 1:05:20.440 --> 1:05:23.200 already grabbed two early, so I'm going to grab it late. 1:05:24.600 --> 1:05:26.880 So it has to be Raiders It Chargers. 1:05:27.520 --> 1:05:27.880 Thank you. 1:05:30.040 --> 1:05:32.480 What's Jimmy g situation? Where are we at on? Jimmy G? 1:05:33.880 --> 1:05:35.840 T at this. 1:05:37.480 --> 1:05:41.080 O'Brian hoyer game not could be an Aid O'Connell and 1:05:41.160 --> 1:05:42.280 why not, Aid O'Connell. 1:05:43.440 --> 1:05:45.760 This is this is the type of game Greg likes 1:05:45.800 --> 1:05:49.439 to lock up. Well charges five and a half right now. 1:05:49.720 --> 1:05:51.600 Yeah, Greg got a theory on that though, Well, I 1:05:51.640 --> 1:05:54.320 think that'll move outside the lock zone if Jimmy G 1:05:54.400 --> 1:05:57.080 doesn't play and that that I don't I'm not into 1:05:57.120 --> 1:05:58.760 the whole look into the mirror thing, but I think 1:05:58.800 --> 1:05:59.960 this is a good example. 1:06:00.240 --> 1:06:01.560 Like you don't want to be doing that. 1:06:01.840 --> 1:06:06.000 No, you could technically, but we will not. I yeah, 1:06:06.240 --> 1:06:10.240 like having watched now, the Justin Herbert performance was beautiful. 1:06:10.800 --> 1:06:12.600 It was beautiful, and yeah he got away with that 1:06:12.640 --> 1:06:15.600 throw at the end, but he made so many throws. 1:06:15.640 --> 1:06:19.880 I actually I had a check marks next to every 1:06:19.920 --> 1:06:23.320 time Justin Herbert made a big time throw, whether it 1:06:23.360 --> 1:06:27.000 was a scramble or just in a pocket and let 1:06:27.040 --> 1:06:30.600 them loose. And I counted nine just absurd throws that 1:06:31.760 --> 1:06:35.920 not many guys can make. And the Mike Williams thing sucks. 1:06:36.040 --> 1:06:39.000 He's out for the year at the ACL and they 1:06:39.040 --> 1:06:42.240 really now need their first round pick to step in 1:06:42.760 --> 1:06:46.080 and and be a difference maker, which apparently, behind the scenes, 1:06:46.120 --> 1:06:49.040 that was not the plan. The plan was to bring him, 1:06:49.240 --> 1:06:53.280 bringing him along slowly and maybe he's maybe next year 1:06:53.360 --> 1:06:55.240 is kind of his year, and now they need I. 1:06:55.160 --> 1:06:58.000 Think it just wasn't ready having him as like a 1:06:58.000 --> 1:07:00.200 plug and play right away. He was a bad a 1:07:00.240 --> 1:07:02.160 bad camp. They were saying it from the beginning. He 1:07:02.200 --> 1:07:04.520 didn't have a great preseason. 1:07:04.320 --> 1:07:07.280 Right, so let's see it will be telling Chargers fans 1:07:07.280 --> 1:07:10.919 holding their breaths right now, their breath because they need. 1:07:11.000 --> 1:07:12.960 You want your first round pick to have an impact. 1:07:13.000 --> 1:07:15.120 They took them twenty first overall, and now there's a 1:07:15.160 --> 1:07:17.760 big need at wide receiver. If he is not part 1:07:17.800 --> 1:07:20.960 of the game plan here, it's a red flag for sure. 1:07:21.880 --> 1:07:24.600 But you know, Austin Eckler, maybe you get him back here, 1:07:24.640 --> 1:07:26.600 and I think they're gonna be okay, especially if the 1:07:26.680 --> 1:07:30.480 Raiders don't have a quarterback. I think the Chargers have 1:07:30.520 --> 1:07:33.680 a chance here now to start stacking some wins. I 1:07:33.760 --> 1:07:35.800 like them a lot in this game. I do like 1:07:35.840 --> 1:07:37.360 them covering five and a half two. I think this 1:07:37.400 --> 1:07:40.280 is gonna be a Chargers They'll always let you down, 1:07:40.320 --> 1:07:43.000 and they came very close to blowing that game. Considering 1:07:43.040 --> 1:07:46.440 the level of play greg from the quarterback so far 1:07:46.520 --> 1:07:51.320 this season, they are one rushed vikings play and interception 1:07:51.400 --> 1:07:54.120 away and you know, turn into a touchdown to oh 1:07:54.160 --> 1:07:56.960 to three, Like it's only the Chargers. It's Chargers going 1:07:57.000 --> 1:07:59.880 to Charger. But maybe they can start building something here. 1:08:00.120 --> 1:08:01.880 Momentum starting against them. 1:08:01.800 --> 1:08:05.880 Well typical Chargers fashion, though they're like a couple weird 1:08:05.880 --> 1:08:08.880 plays from three and oh two. Right, It's just like 1:08:08.960 --> 1:08:11.840 each game has come down to a totally insane ending 1:08:12.280 --> 1:08:14.040 that they found a way to blow two of them 1:08:14.040 --> 1:08:16.720 and they won that last one. Sounds like they did 1:08:16.720 --> 1:08:20.360 get a nice pass rusher there with their second round pick, 1:08:21.360 --> 1:08:24.640 Tully Twy. Polotu was kind of dominant last week. He 1:08:24.680 --> 1:08:26.760 had ten pressures. Like that's a bigger game than we've 1:08:26.760 --> 1:08:29.519 seen out of Khalil Mack for a long time. So 1:08:29.760 --> 1:08:32.800 that's nice that you get another edge rusher. It really 1:08:32.880 --> 1:08:36.639 might have found something. He looks strong. Jace Jackson spoke 1:08:36.680 --> 1:08:39.759 this week and was very confused why he was bench. 1:08:39.840 --> 1:08:41.600 He doesn't understand it. He said he's one of the 1:08:41.600 --> 1:08:44.280 best players on the team, that he's doing everything that's asked, 1:08:44.320 --> 1:08:44.839 that he's. 1:08:44.640 --> 1:08:48.360 Doing more, and that he was quite upset. 1:08:48.479 --> 1:08:51.639 So this defense, which looked like a mess the first 1:08:51.640 --> 1:08:53.439 couple of weeks, I don't feel any better. I don't 1:08:53.439 --> 1:08:55.479 feel any better about his defense. And I'm not putting 1:08:55.520 --> 1:08:57.679 it past the Chargers to lose this game. 1:08:57.920 --> 1:08:59.360 To aid, I'm not. 1:08:59.320 --> 1:09:01.200 Gonna let jac He Jackson off the hook because he 1:09:01.200 --> 1:09:03.920 hasn't lived up to a very big contract. But God, 1:09:03.960 --> 1:09:06.000 you got to communicate with your players, and I feel 1:09:06.000 --> 1:09:08.040 like there's there's issues going on behind the scenes. 1:09:08.600 --> 1:09:12.640 Man his quote, like, uh, I don't know. It's so 1:09:13.040 --> 1:09:16.479 pointing at Staley and like, if anything, I thought Staley 1:09:16.520 --> 1:09:18.880 out of the gate was a coach that seemed of 1:09:18.920 --> 1:09:21.160 the new age where he would communicate well with players. 1:09:21.160 --> 1:09:23.600 He's a good communicator in general. And it's just like, 1:09:23.680 --> 1:09:26.479 what is going on with his team? You know? I 1:09:26.560 --> 1:09:29.120 point to like the playoff game last year after Brandon 1:09:29.120 --> 1:09:32.040 Staley mismanaged Mike Williams in the final week of the 1:09:32.040 --> 1:09:34.479 season without Mike Williams, and that if you had him 1:09:34.479 --> 1:09:36.720 in the Jaguars playoff game, I don't think you lose 1:09:36.760 --> 1:09:37.040 that thing. 1:09:37.080 --> 1:09:37.559 I think you win. 1:09:37.600 --> 1:09:39.960 And it's like this time it's not Staley's fault. You 1:09:40.000 --> 1:09:42.960 just lose Mike Williams again, who I thought completely helped. 1:09:43.040 --> 1:09:45.960 Keenan Allen, who leads the league with thirty two receptions 1:09:46.200 --> 1:09:49.280 have this incredible season so far, and it's like arrowed 1:09:49.280 --> 1:09:51.719 down a little bit on that continuing this way because 1:09:51.760 --> 1:09:54.080 of what you mentioned about, like the rookie wide receiver 1:09:54.120 --> 1:09:56.800 in that situation. This is the kind of game where like, 1:09:56.840 --> 1:09:58.599 I don't know if I trust the Chargers at all, 1:09:58.880 --> 1:10:01.760 but if you don't take care of business at home, 1:10:01.800 --> 1:10:03.680 and at home means something different for the Chargers than 1:10:03.680 --> 1:10:05.400 it does for every other team except the Rams for 1:10:05.439 --> 1:10:05.840 the most part. 1:10:05.920 --> 1:10:07.479 Is he gonna do it? Is he gonna do it? No? 1:10:07.800 --> 1:10:10.599 After he promised not to, Well, I was tempted to, but. 1:10:12.000 --> 1:10:14.439 Talking before the show and he was like, well he 1:10:14.479 --> 1:10:16.599 got a locker in two weeks after. 1:10:17.400 --> 1:10:19.040 Behind the glass and she like, we try to tell 1:10:19.040 --> 1:10:21.400 her who our lock is. No, it was like tell 1:10:21.400 --> 1:10:23.080 her who our lock is, and like I switched to 1:10:23.120 --> 1:10:24.760 three or four times my lock is to come, but 1:10:25.040 --> 1:10:26.160 I'm not touching the Chargers. 1:10:26.240 --> 1:10:30.519 Uh. This just popped up on my iPad. Uh. You know, 1:10:30.600 --> 1:10:37.360 the Chandler Jones situation is not good. Raiders Edge who 1:10:38.760 --> 1:10:42.439 was put into some type of involuntary hold because of 1:10:43.520 --> 1:10:46.280 parent mental health issues. He came out, he got out 1:10:46.280 --> 1:10:48.200 of that and said that it was you know it 1:10:48.280 --> 1:10:51.320 was not something that he agreed to, and he's he's upset. 1:10:51.640 --> 1:10:54.720 I see a tweet from r G three. Let's all 1:10:54.760 --> 1:10:56.840 pray for Chandler Jones and his family. I don't know 1:10:56.840 --> 1:10:58.759 what's going on with him right now, but after everything 1:10:58.760 --> 1:11:00.559 I've seen, I do know he needs to feel like 1:11:00.600 --> 1:11:02.960 he's being heard in this moment. I reached out to 1:11:03.040 --> 1:11:05.360 him and encouraged all of his NFL brothers to do 1:11:05.400 --> 1:11:05.719 the same. 1:11:06.240 --> 1:11:07.799 You know, it's fine. It's a nice tweet. 1:11:09.160 --> 1:11:12.920 Jones, ride's back, bro, You washed up RG such and such. 1:11:13.120 --> 1:11:17.839 Sit down. I'm still in the league. You twitter fingers 1:11:17.920 --> 1:11:20.280 why I like going on? 1:11:20.360 --> 1:11:22.640 That's good. I'm still in like you Twitter fingers is 1:11:22.680 --> 1:11:26.840 pretty good. Imagine D three. 1:11:26.320 --> 1:11:30.639 I mean, if nothing else, that's a kind spirited, kind 1:11:30.680 --> 1:11:32.160 hearted message to someone that. 1:11:32.160 --> 1:11:34.920 You're trying to but you're I think you're doing like 1:11:34.960 --> 1:11:36.960 I don't know, virtue signaling or not really. 1:11:37.439 --> 1:11:41.479 He said he was hospitalized against his will. It's all. 1:11:41.640 --> 1:11:42.679 I don't think we're going to see. 1:11:42.880 --> 1:11:45.240 We don't know the full story, but it's all. It's 1:11:45.280 --> 1:11:48.840 all troubling, he said. They he was tried to force 1:11:48.920 --> 1:11:52.280 to take meds and medications, so it's all very upsetting 1:11:52.320 --> 1:11:54.040 and just on a football. 1:11:55.479 --> 1:11:56.000 Side of it. 1:11:56.400 --> 1:11:59.000 We've seen it in Cleveland, we've seen it with Las 1:11:59.080 --> 1:12:02.360 Vegas now last couple of years. One elite pass thrusher 1:12:02.439 --> 1:12:05.000 does not make a pass rush and the rest of 1:12:05.040 --> 1:12:07.840 the they just now are just sending three guys two 1:12:07.880 --> 1:12:10.760 guys at Crosby and the rest of that group's not. 1:12:10.720 --> 1:12:14.160 Stepping up unless you're Aaron Donald. 1:12:15.040 --> 1:12:16.720 But he had some guys with them. He had some 1:12:16.760 --> 1:12:17.680 guys with them, but. 1:12:17.640 --> 1:12:19.799 He's the guy that doesn't matter what you threw at him. 1:12:20.160 --> 1:12:21.639 That it was kind of good to see old Aaron 1:12:21.680 --> 1:12:22.360 Donald a little bit. 1:12:22.720 --> 1:12:24.800 But that's sort of a good example that like he 1:12:24.840 --> 1:12:27.040 can he can get it done. Crosby can get it done, 1:12:27.080 --> 1:12:29.679 but that's not enough. You still need other other guys. 1:12:29.920 --> 1:12:32.240 Well, they're also like the whole rest of the defense 1:12:32.280 --> 1:12:34.479 has been a disappointment for like roughly three hundred and 1:12:34.520 --> 1:12:35.320 forty years in a row. 1:12:35.640 --> 1:12:37.640 I have a developing news here. 1:12:37.520 --> 1:12:41.720 Okay, developing news. 1:12:44.840 --> 1:12:49.200 No, I have developing news, not breaking news. 1:12:50.360 --> 1:12:54.760 Come on, I would have noticed the difference what I 1:12:54.840 --> 1:12:56.080 do this. 1:12:59.200 --> 1:13:04.840 Because I'm talking walk. The x FL and USFL said 1:13:04.880 --> 1:13:07.679 Thursday that the two spring football leagues plan to merge 1:13:07.720 --> 1:13:12.719 and begin begin play next year. The move is subject 1:13:12.760 --> 1:13:20.280 to customary regulatory approvals. Yeah, I'll be checking out every 1:13:20.320 --> 1:13:23.280 one of those games. I'm not trying to be mean 1:13:23.320 --> 1:13:27.040 about this, but sometimes you just gotta say, Nah, this 1:13:27.120 --> 1:13:29.439 isn't gonna work. Like what makes them think this is 1:13:29.479 --> 1:13:29.960 gonna work? 1:13:30.640 --> 1:13:31.040 I don't know. 1:13:31.080 --> 1:13:33.040 I feel like there have been twelve of these organizations 1:13:33.120 --> 1:13:34.320 or these leagues. 1:13:34.479 --> 1:13:37.240 It's not for a lack of effort. And I understand 1:13:37.360 --> 1:13:40.240 what these people like Dwayne Johnson the Rock are going for. 1:13:40.360 --> 1:13:43.280 Like football is the most popular sport in this country. 1:13:44.160 --> 1:13:47.000 Let's let's move something to the spring. Let's go against 1:13:47.000 --> 1:13:49.479 like early season baseball, and I guess the NBA playoffs, 1:13:49.479 --> 1:13:52.640 which is tricky too, and uh, let's let's let's make 1:13:52.680 --> 1:13:55.679 a play. But it's like, it's just you're so much 1:13:55.720 --> 1:13:58.160 evidence that it's just not gonna happen. And maybe it 1:13:58.280 --> 1:14:01.280 almost kind of happened. Is a great ESPN thirty for 1:14:01.320 --> 1:14:07.599 thirty documentary about the usfl and and Donald Trump played 1:14:07.600 --> 1:14:11.000 a major role in that getting like torn asunder, but 1:14:11.040 --> 1:14:13.720 that was a long time ago, like and the landscape 1:14:13.800 --> 1:14:16.559 is different now, And it's just interesting that instead of 1:14:16.880 --> 1:14:20.160 after I would imagine abysmal ratings for both these leagues. 1:14:19.920 --> 1:14:23.840 And they've been okay, like compared to other sports, they've 1:14:23.880 --> 1:14:27.280 been okay. I think that's why, if anything, the two 1:14:27.320 --> 1:14:28.040 going against each other. 1:14:28.360 --> 1:14:31.439 Nobody loves football more than Greg. How many games have 1:14:31.479 --> 1:14:31.840 you watched? 1:14:32.360 --> 1:14:34.960 I I Am not going to be watching spring professional football, 1:14:35.040 --> 1:14:35.599 That's what I mean. 1:14:35.760 --> 1:14:38.479 But I'm just saying, like compared to like a like 1:14:38.520 --> 1:14:41.080 a baseball game that they put on nationally, like it'll 1:14:41.080 --> 1:14:43.640 beat that, like compared to like some some like a 1:14:43.720 --> 1:14:46.759 tennis final or whatever, Like they were getting okay ratings 1:14:46.800 --> 1:14:49.320 but making the money all work to like get the 1:14:49.320 --> 1:14:51.800 stadiums and all that stuff. You know, what, do they 1:14:51.880 --> 1:14:54.880 need a developmental league? I don't know if gonna get it. 1:14:55.160 --> 1:14:58.920 Been a better time ever then to I'd say relaunch 1:14:59.040 --> 1:15:01.479 with a limited amount of T teams the World League, 1:15:02.520 --> 1:15:05.080 Like I mean it when when there was a World 1:15:05.160 --> 1:15:07.160 leg it was like You're putting teams in Germany and 1:15:07.280 --> 1:15:09.000 all over the place. It's like it's a stretch. We 1:15:09.000 --> 1:15:10.840 don't know if it's gonna be popular. Right now, it's 1:15:10.840 --> 1:15:12.200 exploding all over the world. 1:15:12.400 --> 1:15:15.559 We have the International Pathway Program which is helping on 1:15:15.600 --> 1:15:17.280 that front, developed players elsewhere. 1:15:17.360 --> 1:15:19.599 It's literally different things. But a national league would be 1:15:19.760 --> 1:15:21.519 I mean this, you like, if you talk about the 1:15:21.520 --> 1:15:24.000 fact that you can't get people in like American cities 1:15:24.040 --> 1:15:25.800 to go watch a non NFL product, I think that's 1:15:25.800 --> 1:15:28.080 a tough sell. I mean, that's probably lower prices. But 1:15:28.120 --> 1:15:31.160 if you dotted them around international sites where there's this 1:15:31.320 --> 1:15:33.000 growing fervor for football. 1:15:33.040 --> 1:15:35.400 There was some success, like some success on TV and 1:15:35.439 --> 1:15:37.599 some success with some of the teams like Saint Louis. 1:15:37.880 --> 1:15:41.000 That place was rocking. They missed their professional football. They 1:15:41.000 --> 1:15:44.080 were packing it out. Uh, there was a few cities. 1:15:44.080 --> 1:15:47.320 So it's like, I don't know. I think professional football 1:15:47.320 --> 1:15:49.880 could use it though, because I think these players need 1:15:49.880 --> 1:15:51.840 a chance to develop and it's hard. It's hard the 1:15:51.880 --> 1:15:55.040 way the NFL offseason And Greg, I just did a little. 1:15:55.040 --> 1:15:58.360 Quick, little research on this. Yeah, so the average I'll 1:15:58.439 --> 1:16:03.480 use MLB Sunate night baseball gets one point five million eyeballs. 1:16:04.000 --> 1:16:10.320 The championship game for USFL drew one point two million. 1:16:10.840 --> 1:16:13.080 Yeah, well that's that's a lot of people like. 1:16:13.160 --> 1:16:16.080 That's the championship game, is what I'm saying. So you 1:16:16.120 --> 1:16:18.759 have a whole season of games that are drawing maybe 1:16:18.760 --> 1:16:19.400 a quarter of. 1:16:19.320 --> 1:16:21.280 That or I'm just saying, like in a in a 1:16:21.320 --> 1:16:24.600 world where there's a lot of sports on television, that 1:16:24.600 --> 1:16:26.280 that goes over the bar of like. 1:16:26.280 --> 1:16:28.599 But that that's the championship game, is right? 1:16:28.800 --> 1:16:32.320 Well, I mean there's no argument that it's this roaring success. 1:16:32.360 --> 1:16:34.719 Half of those are probably just on in like lonely bars. 1:16:35.479 --> 1:16:42.320 All right, let's move on, thank you, all right, go ahead, Wait, 1:16:42.360 --> 1:16:42.800 who's up? 1:16:42.840 --> 1:16:43.120 It's me? 1:16:43.200 --> 1:16:46.439 I believe, Yes, I'm gonna go Tampa Bay at New Orleans. 1:16:47.840 --> 1:16:51.880 No Derek Carr, but I don't mind that. I'm kind 1:16:51.880 --> 1:16:53.240 of into Jameis Wins and I know he's a bit 1:16:53.280 --> 1:16:53.960 of a disasters. 1:16:54.479 --> 1:16:57.000 This is what we're doing, what we're into Jameis Wins. 1:16:58.040 --> 1:17:00.360 I mean, we're at the back end of picking game. Like, 1:17:00.400 --> 1:17:02.519 I don't think it's a crazy thing, I know, I 1:17:02.640 --> 1:17:05.680 just like there's other things going on here. Oh what 1:17:06.640 --> 1:17:11.720 the New Orleans defense eleven straight games allowing twenty or 1:17:11.720 --> 1:17:15.000 fewer points. I trust them against the Tampa Bay team 1:17:15.640 --> 1:17:17.920 that I do not trust on offense. Beyond Mike Evans. 1:17:18.000 --> 1:17:22.439 I think what happened the last Baker Mayfield appearance we saw, 1:17:22.439 --> 1:17:23.720 I think it is closer to the norm that we're 1:17:23.720 --> 1:17:27.320 gonna get from him. I really struggle to find a 1:17:27.360 --> 1:17:29.519 lock this week. But then I saw this game and 1:17:29.520 --> 1:17:32.479 I was like, I'm doing something a little weird because 1:17:32.479 --> 1:17:36.080 this these are two weird teams, but we're in New Orleans, 1:17:36.080 --> 1:17:40.080 one of the most like safe lock places to play. 1:17:40.160 --> 1:17:43.559 I think that New Orleans is an irritated, agitated team 1:17:43.640 --> 1:17:45.800 right now, and I'm gonna lock them up to take 1:17:45.840 --> 1:17:47.920 care of the Bucks. I don't trust the Bucks on 1:17:48.000 --> 1:17:51.080 any level right now. I also don't trust my actual lock, 1:17:51.120 --> 1:17:52.200 but that's locked. 1:17:52.000 --> 1:17:54.599 Up against Baker two weeks in a row now. Last 1:17:54.600 --> 1:17:56.120 week I thought was a very strong lock. 1:17:56.240 --> 1:17:57.639 Yeah, this is shaky. 1:17:57.880 --> 1:17:59.799 This is the Saints with their backup quarterback. 1:18:00.439 --> 1:18:03.240 I don't know if it's fine. We have we have 1:18:03.280 --> 1:18:05.880 different I don't like I don't trust Derek Carr to 1:18:05.920 --> 1:18:08.000 go do anything either. So I'm different than you on 1:18:08.080 --> 1:18:08.519 Derek Carr. 1:18:08.560 --> 1:18:10.360 Derek Carr will give you like a kind of a 1:18:10.400 --> 1:18:15.640 professional middling to higher bar like Jameis Winston's where he 1:18:15.720 --> 1:18:17.679 is for a reason at this point. So I think 1:18:17.680 --> 1:18:20.120 it's a personally, I think it's a significant downgrade to 1:18:20.200 --> 1:18:25.080 quarterback and they just blew a seventeen nothing lead. I'd 1:18:25.080 --> 1:18:25.840 be worried about that. 1:18:25.840 --> 1:18:27.559 I'd argue they had a seventeen nothing lead. 1:18:29.000 --> 1:18:33.599 And I will now in your favor, Alvin Kamara is back. 1:18:33.840 --> 1:18:36.000 Yep, yeah, Kamara, And like they kind of need that 1:18:36.040 --> 1:18:37.679 Taysom Hill was their leading rusher. 1:18:38.160 --> 1:18:39.280 Taysom Hills look good. 1:18:39.360 --> 1:18:41.040 I had, but I don't love that. I don't want 1:18:41.080 --> 1:18:43.040 my leading rusher to be Taysom now. But I like 1:18:43.120 --> 1:18:45.599 that they're not waiting around to involve him. I think 1:18:45.600 --> 1:18:47.320 there was like an issue of maybe car didn't want 1:18:47.320 --> 1:18:48.920 to come off the field and they didn't wait around 1:18:49.000 --> 1:18:52.240 last week, and Taysom Hill has been very effective for them. 1:18:52.280 --> 1:18:54.879 They just can't score in the red zone. Car. 1:18:56.240 --> 1:18:58.800 You know that that injury held onto the ball and 1:18:59.120 --> 1:19:00.960 for whatever reason, and they haven't scored in the red 1:19:01.000 --> 1:19:03.640 zone like they have moved the ball a ton And 1:19:03.880 --> 1:19:06.679 until this weekend, it's week versus week kind of went 1:19:06.760 --> 1:19:09.400 with their offensive line versus the Bucks pass rush. 1:19:09.439 --> 1:19:11.800 So which weak point? 1:19:12.040 --> 1:19:15.599 Uh wins out here because the Saints offensive line has 1:19:15.680 --> 1:19:17.200 really been a problem and it's a lot of guys 1:19:17.240 --> 1:19:18.320 that have been there for a while and a lot 1:19:18.320 --> 1:19:19.800 of guys making a decent amount of money. 1:19:19.840 --> 1:19:22.839 Ram check and they just paid Caesar Ruiz and McCoy 1:19:22.960 --> 1:19:26.240 and but they've been pretty bad and Ruiz has banged up. 1:19:26.720 --> 1:19:29.840 Jamis in a revenge game against his old team where 1:19:29.840 --> 1:19:34.080 he's feeling feelings and oh he'll be throwing under pressure. 1:19:35.000 --> 1:19:37.200 Makes me a little nervous. But I trust that the Saints. 1:19:37.240 --> 1:19:39.080 I'm with you that the Saints defense is the best 1:19:39.080 --> 1:19:41.320 group in this game. Yeah, they're given the Bucks three points. 1:19:41.360 --> 1:19:44.000 I think that's fair. I don't trust. I don't trust 1:19:44.000 --> 1:19:46.800 this Bucks offense at all, and there is a tough 1:19:46.800 --> 1:19:48.599 matchup against the Saints defense is good. 1:19:48.640 --> 1:19:52.280 The Saints were ten game minutes away on Sunday from 1:19:52.320 --> 1:19:54.920 getting the treatment that the Browns defense is getting this week, 1:19:55.720 --> 1:20:00.160 because they had been amazing until Jordan Love started going 1:20:00.240 --> 1:20:02.080 up and down the field on those last couple of drives. 1:20:02.080 --> 1:20:02.960 So yeah, they've been. 1:20:02.880 --> 1:20:07.160 A a couple of crazy pr PI calls that to 1:20:07.240 --> 1:20:10.880 me change that game. Maybe the worst call of the 1:20:10.920 --> 1:20:13.599 season was that first long PI call on the Saints 1:20:13.640 --> 1:20:18.080 change second. Carlton Davis and Jamel Dean both might be out. 1:20:18.640 --> 1:20:21.200 Davis might be returning this week. He's missed a couple weeks, 1:20:21.200 --> 1:20:24.280 but that's their two starting cornerbacks for the. 1:20:24.280 --> 1:20:26.320 Buccaneers against pretty good ride receivers. 1:20:26.400 --> 1:20:29.639 Saints have not allowed a three hundred yard passer since 1:20:29.680 --> 1:20:31.759 Week nine of twenty twenty one. I mean this defense 1:20:31.760 --> 1:20:34.000 has been consistent of the defense that gave Tom Brady 1:20:34.040 --> 1:20:34.679 a lot of trouble. 1:20:35.400 --> 1:20:37.479 I think this it's. 1:20:37.400 --> 1:20:40.000 Also the organa tough fourth quarter the same Yeah, it 1:20:40.040 --> 1:20:42.400 was also the organization that managed to lose that game. 1:20:42.479 --> 1:20:45.599 Somehow. There is something about this team well that they just. 1:20:45.760 --> 1:20:48.200 Yeah, there is probably a room on the Broncos bandwagon 1:20:48.240 --> 1:20:48.439 right now. 1:20:48.479 --> 1:20:50.840 I would just say, like I will say, this place SMaL. 1:20:51.040 --> 1:20:53.400 This will impact Greg in our office because I what 1:20:53.439 --> 1:20:56.799 I'm gonna do next. I'm gonna view as a charitable thing. Okay, 1:20:57.720 --> 1:20:59.679 because I have the next pick too, it doesn't matter. 1:21:00.520 --> 1:21:03.439 I'm gonna take the Vikings at Carolina. I could have 1:21:03.479 --> 1:21:05.880 taken Shooks Pittsburgh at Houston game, but I'm not gonna 1:21:05.880 --> 1:21:07.639 do that after last week's flairing. 1:21:07.880 --> 1:21:10.000 It doesn't matter anyway. See, we're giving him a third game. 1:21:10.040 --> 1:21:11.760 Wait, we have two loser home go home. 1:21:11.800 --> 1:21:16.439 Let us Yes, this is another loser goes Oh wow, Okay, 1:21:17.400 --> 1:21:18.760 I I. 1:21:18.680 --> 1:21:23.240 Think the Vikings are just a far superior team to Carolina. 1:21:23.320 --> 1:21:26.599 I mean they they came back against the Eagles. They've 1:21:26.640 --> 1:21:28.959 been in these games. They're kind of getting the football 1:21:28.960 --> 1:21:31.519 gods like slap in the face, and these one score 1:21:32.320 --> 1:21:35.880 losses three in a row after last year's absurdity. It's 1:21:35.880 --> 1:21:38.080 been their turnover still. They have the most in the league, 1:21:38.160 --> 1:21:42.000 the most fumbles, the worst turnover margin. Kirk Cousins also 1:21:42.120 --> 1:21:44.080 leads the league with three hundred and fifty eight yards 1:21:44.120 --> 1:21:46.920 per game and nine touchdowns. It's like they've got weapons. 1:21:46.960 --> 1:21:49.439 You've still got the best wide receiver in football. I 1:21:50.120 --> 1:21:53.519 don't know what Carolina can really do to counter this. 1:21:54.320 --> 1:21:56.280 You're gonna get Bryce Young back. It sounds like he 1:21:56.320 --> 1:21:58.280 hasn't thrown for more than one hundred and sixty yards 1:21:58.280 --> 1:22:00.320 in either of his two starts. I think the better 1:22:00.320 --> 1:22:02.360 team with Andy Dalton, but you're not gonna play any Dalton. 1:22:02.360 --> 1:22:02.720 I get that. 1:22:03.600 --> 1:22:05.639 I think Frank Reich's in a tough spot. There aren't 1:22:05.640 --> 1:22:07.200 a lot of weapons around Bryce Song. It's like you're 1:22:07.200 --> 1:22:10.479 gonna argue that the Vikings can be vulnerable here. It's like, 1:22:10.680 --> 1:22:13.519 what is it about Carolina that tells you that they're 1:22:13.520 --> 1:22:15.040 banged up on defense? 1:22:15.120 --> 1:22:15.559 Right now? 1:22:16.080 --> 1:22:18.400 I just kind of like the idea of Minnesota course 1:22:18.439 --> 1:22:22.160 correcting getting this right. You know, the last team that 1:22:22.240 --> 1:22:24.120 went to the playoffs after an no and four start. 1:22:24.640 --> 1:22:26.519 I remember this team because I'm a little older than 1:22:26.520 --> 1:22:29.559 you guys, be probably only one right, the nineteen ninety 1:22:29.560 --> 1:22:31.880 two Chargers. It is the last and only team that 1:22:31.920 --> 1:22:34.240 ever did that. The Stan humphreyes Bobby Ross team, you 1:22:34.280 --> 1:22:36.240 guys would have been about maybe twelve or somely. 1:22:36.080 --> 1:22:39.160 The thirteen for a little Chargers Stan humph. 1:22:41.400 --> 1:22:42.920 They went to the Super Bowl couple years later, with 1:22:43.640 --> 1:22:44.160 I was I. 1:22:44.120 --> 1:22:46.519 Wasn't tracking that team that closely while I was making 1:22:46.520 --> 1:22:49.000 my Sunday afternoon trips to grand Grandpa's house. 1:22:49.040 --> 1:22:52.840 But I almost want to shoot. I always want to 1:22:52.920 --> 1:22:54.760 jump out of my locks. I love the vikings in 1:22:54.800 --> 1:22:55.160 this game. 1:22:55.240 --> 1:23:00.559 Right, wait a minute, I'm gonna jump out of my lock. 1:23:00.640 --> 1:23:02.400 Forget the Saints. I'm taking the vikings. 1:23:03.840 --> 1:23:05.280 This is ridiculous. No, it's not. 1:23:06.160 --> 1:23:09.080 I'm taking the vikings. They're gonna go into Marolina. 1:23:08.680 --> 1:23:13.120 And the sound effect. Ready, that's okay, come on it. 1:23:13.360 --> 1:23:14.720 I don't even know if they played it last time, 1:23:14.760 --> 1:23:15.600 Like that's okay. 1:23:15.640 --> 1:23:19.879 Something about this game that just gets under Greg's what 1:23:19.880 --> 1:23:22.200 what game? This game? This lock game? It's just something 1:23:22.200 --> 1:23:22.559 about you. 1:23:22.640 --> 1:23:23.280 Know, this is fun. 1:23:23.360 --> 1:23:27.000 I like it actually because I I don't want the 1:23:27.080 --> 1:23:29.760 Saints to be cruising though Sunday out. 1:23:29.840 --> 1:23:31.599 I'm actually, you know what, it's self interest. 1:23:32.520 --> 1:23:35.639 Payton, Mark Sassel, you and I ride to Valhalla. 1:23:35.920 --> 1:23:36.639 Yes we will. 1:23:36.800 --> 1:23:38.479 We're locking them together. Let's go. 1:23:39.000 --> 1:23:39.880 We did this last year. 1:23:39.920 --> 1:23:41.639 I think our record was like five and one when 1:23:41.640 --> 1:23:42.880 we when we joined the books. 1:23:42.920 --> 1:23:44.880 I am not rooting for Sean Payton. Let me pass 1:23:45.320 --> 1:23:46.320 the room for one more. 1:23:46.960 --> 1:23:47.280 Sure. 1:23:47.360 --> 1:23:49.360 Absolutely, I got a text from. 1:23:51.600 --> 1:23:54.040 This is good. This did not come from him, but 1:23:54.760 --> 1:23:57.200 Mackie phil Soon picked the Vikings. 1:23:57.240 --> 1:24:01.160 This he's the is this of the bunch I find 1:24:02.600 --> 1:24:04.600 the most intellectually seasoned. 1:24:04.760 --> 1:24:09.599 Although he is in our kids Fantasy League and Return 1:24:09.640 --> 1:24:13.559 of the Mac Great Fantasy Name. That is by Mackie 1:24:14.800 --> 1:24:17.639 taking a pretty big l to both my kids last year. 1:24:17.680 --> 1:24:22.000 I have to say, Okay, that's a good point. 1:24:22.360 --> 1:24:23.280 He takes us straight. 1:24:23.280 --> 1:24:25.040 And why do you need to tell like two hundred 1:24:25.040 --> 1:24:25.799 thousand people. 1:24:25.640 --> 1:24:30.960 Then, and I will point out that, you know, Nick 1:24:31.040 --> 1:24:35.519 has been pretty quiet now since that failed lock that 1:24:35.640 --> 1:24:38.760 big day. I'm just gonna leave it there, just he's 1:24:38.800 --> 1:24:39.639 been quiet, not. 1:24:39.640 --> 1:24:42.599 A lot of honking this. This makes sense as a 1:24:42.600 --> 1:24:46.160 as a lock. Kirk Cousins, I think, on balance is 1:24:46.200 --> 1:24:48.439 playing better this year than last year. I don't even 1:24:48.400 --> 1:24:50.840 think that's a hot take. My take all last year 1:24:50.920 --> 1:24:55.280 was this is sneaky, like one of kirk Cousins' worst 1:24:55.280 --> 1:24:57.479 seasons in Minnesota, except he's been balling out in the 1:24:57.479 --> 1:24:59.040 fourth quarter and that does make up for it. 1:24:59.080 --> 1:25:00.719 But this year he has been good. I think he's 1:25:00.720 --> 1:25:04.840 been really good. Inconsistent. Yeah, this year, gotcha. 1:25:05.080 --> 1:25:08.400 They're by far the best group in this game, and 1:25:08.439 --> 1:25:12.400 now you've added a big time weapon in Addison. I'm 1:25:12.439 --> 1:25:16.280 really impressed and by Jordan Addison because he's nailing like 1:25:16.320 --> 1:25:18.680 the timing routes where it's anticipation and you can tell 1:25:18.760 --> 1:25:20.599 kirk Cousins trusts him. He's letting go to the ball 1:25:20.600 --> 1:25:23.639 before Addison even makes his breaks, and it's just like, wow, 1:25:23.680 --> 1:25:25.240 we got a nice number two here, we got a 1:25:25.320 --> 1:25:26.120 nice number three. 1:25:26.320 --> 1:25:27.360 I mean, I'm with you, guys. 1:25:27.640 --> 1:25:31.400 I am the the world's you know, second biggest Panthers fan. 1:25:31.439 --> 1:25:33.519 Though this week, I mean I'm rooting against three locks. 1:25:33.600 --> 1:25:36.599 Knock all these guys out. This would be great. Let's go. 1:25:38.800 --> 1:25:39.439 You and oh. 1:25:39.560 --> 1:25:43.160 Please, I want you Toppy. Yes, I'm sure you'll be 1:25:43.240 --> 1:25:46.320 rooting for you know, in the Patriots. That's what you'll 1:25:46.320 --> 1:25:47.240 be doing this week. 1:25:48.640 --> 1:25:51.360 All right up, next last pick for me, I will 1:25:51.400 --> 1:25:56.679 grab this an easy one, Cincinnati at Tennessee. It's it's tough. 1:25:56.720 --> 1:25:58.559 It's tough. We talked about it in a month. It's tough 1:25:58.600 --> 1:26:02.040 watching Joe Burrow. This is just gonna be a thing. 1:26:02.200 --> 1:26:05.479 It's gonna be a thing. And I still He had 1:26:05.600 --> 1:26:10.479 a quote that I really thought summed up nicely what 1:26:10.640 --> 1:26:12.760 I kind of thought where his headspace was and where 1:26:12.800 --> 1:26:14.760 the team was going into week three because they were 1:26:14.800 --> 1:26:17.920 owned two and they said, you know how you feeling, 1:26:18.000 --> 1:26:19.880 and like, why did you choose to play? I don't 1:26:19.920 --> 1:26:21.840 know the exact frame of the question, but he's like, 1:26:23.320 --> 1:26:25.240 my leg the way it feels right now, it's a 1:26:25.280 --> 1:26:26.960 lot better than oh and three would have felt if 1:26:27.000 --> 1:26:29.559 I didn't play. So it's like that kind of in 1:26:29.600 --> 1:26:31.439 a way told me that if they were two and 1:26:31.479 --> 1:26:34.320 oh instead of owned two. I wonder if he's actually 1:26:34.640 --> 1:26:36.599 they're doing the thing that they probably should be doing, 1:26:36.640 --> 1:26:38.960 which is just getting him out of the picture for 1:26:39.000 --> 1:26:40.960 a couple of weeks. But when you put yourself in 1:26:41.000 --> 1:26:43.880 that early hole in a very competitive division and you 1:26:43.960 --> 1:26:46.200 have it's super Bowl or bust kind of in Sinsey, 1:26:46.680 --> 1:26:49.559 you all these outside things come in and there's Burrow 1:26:49.600 --> 1:26:53.639 limping around quick, working out of shotgun the entire game, 1:26:54.040 --> 1:26:56.680 ball out of his hands, totally changing the way the 1:26:56.800 --> 1:26:59.680 offense is. Is going to get better this week? Or 1:26:59.760 --> 1:27:01.920 is this just what it is now and the way 1:27:01.960 --> 1:27:04.040 it will be until God, I don't want to say it, 1:27:04.080 --> 1:27:06.160 but until the calf goes out and he's fourced out 1:27:06.200 --> 1:27:09.519 of the lineup. The good news is Tennessee two out 1:27:09.520 --> 1:27:13.439 of three weeks has been pitiful Offensively. They are a 1:27:13.479 --> 1:27:16.400 defense that I would be frightened as a Bengals fan 1:27:16.439 --> 1:27:19.680 that I'm going on the road against that mean defensive 1:27:19.720 --> 1:27:22.439 line and Joe Burrow again is going to have to 1:27:22.439 --> 1:27:24.960 get the ball out quickly. And Mike Vrabel knows what 1:27:25.000 --> 1:27:27.639 he's doing over there, so he's probably going to say, oh, 1:27:27.680 --> 1:27:29.479 I watched that Monday game. I know what they're going 1:27:29.560 --> 1:27:31.639 to try to do here, and I think what we're 1:27:31.640 --> 1:27:35.280 gonna do here is whatever that under is. There's no 1:27:35.400 --> 1:27:38.280 I don't rain make over here, but this is a 1:27:38.360 --> 1:27:40.760 forty one and a half under. I think this is 1:27:40.800 --> 1:27:44.120 screaming out as like a sixteen to thirteen type game, 1:27:45.800 --> 1:27:48.840 Bengals again battle tested. But also I think this is 1:27:48.880 --> 1:27:50.519 a tough spot. I think the Titans have a chance 1:27:50.520 --> 1:27:53.880 to get a big win for them. With Cincinnati being 1:27:53.880 --> 1:27:54.960 as compromised as they are. 1:27:55.040 --> 1:27:57.200 This feels I'm with you that this feels like such 1:27:57.200 --> 1:28:01.640 a tight contest. I do like the I mean, Tennessee 1:28:01.760 --> 1:28:05.080 has shown an absolute vulnerability on offense, and I don't 1:28:05.080 --> 1:28:07.800 think you need to be a top five defense to 1:28:07.800 --> 1:28:10.439 shut him down. They just they lack weapons. I think 1:28:10.439 --> 1:28:12.759 it's easy to get Tannehill office spot in this situation 1:28:12.840 --> 1:28:16.200 behind an offensive line that's really wanting, and I mean 1:28:16.280 --> 1:28:18.240 Trey Hendrickson has been one of the best free agent 1:28:18.360 --> 1:28:22.200 signings around of the last couple of years, dominant against 1:28:22.240 --> 1:28:24.920 the Rams, Logan Wilson dominant, and I just think that 1:28:25.000 --> 1:28:27.760 the consistency that this defense has, they're gonna have to 1:28:27.800 --> 1:28:29.240 ride it because I think their offense is going to 1:28:29.280 --> 1:28:31.360 be a tough watch. And you're right, the calf might 1:28:31.400 --> 1:28:32.840 go at some point or we're just not gonna get 1:28:32.840 --> 1:28:34.920 the burrow that we're used to. But I do trust 1:28:34.920 --> 1:28:37.559 this defense to win tight games like this, to do 1:28:37.600 --> 1:28:39.559 what they did against the Rams when you play an 1:28:39.560 --> 1:28:42.479 offensive line like Tennessee. I think they're in a bit 1:28:42.520 --> 1:28:43.240 of tough spot here. 1:28:43.320 --> 1:28:45.720 I hate to say it, but it doesn't it feel inevitable, 1:28:45.920 --> 1:28:49.200 Like if they continue to just send him out there. 1:28:49.200 --> 1:28:50.920 Isn't it hard? It's like the kind of injury it's 1:28:50.960 --> 1:28:52.840 hard to watch because he's like they're gunning it on 1:28:52.880 --> 1:28:54.960 the sideline, he said, moving well. 1:28:55.000 --> 1:28:58.600 He said, the calfs should get better every week. I 1:28:58.600 --> 1:29:01.479 should be able to do more every week, as long 1:29:01.560 --> 1:29:02.560 as I don't. 1:29:02.760 --> 1:29:03.639 Aggravate it again. 1:29:03.920 --> 1:29:06.760 Yeah, but which he managed to avoid last week, and 1:29:06.800 --> 1:29:08.559 he managed to avoid I guess the first few weeks 1:29:08.560 --> 1:29:12.240 because this injury really was never gone. And that's what 1:29:12.320 --> 1:29:16.080 people were saying from the very beginning. I think it's 1:29:16.200 --> 1:29:19.120 very limiting. I'm with you, Dan, like he maybe he's 1:29:19.160 --> 1:29:23.240 better this week, but this is a much better opposition 1:29:23.320 --> 1:29:25.680 in terms of the defense that he's facing, the defensive 1:29:25.840 --> 1:29:28.720 coaching staff, that he's facing, the defensive line, and yeah, 1:29:28.760 --> 1:29:32.120 this this thing's gonna be ugly as hell. And Andre 1:29:32.240 --> 1:29:35.599 Dillard has been killing the the Titans at left tackle 1:29:35.960 --> 1:29:40.120 for multiple games, and that's where Hendrickson's gonna be lined up. 1:29:40.320 --> 1:29:44.280 It feels like every completion Ryan Tannehill has is like, wow, 1:29:44.320 --> 1:29:47.360 that was amazing. Like every completion is like him getting 1:29:47.640 --> 1:29:51.719 crushed and some receiver having to make a great catch, 1:29:52.240 --> 1:29:54.240 like while he's well covered. That's not a way to 1:29:54.280 --> 1:29:56.479 run an offense. Like you hit four of those a game, 1:29:56.520 --> 1:29:57.760 and everything else is just. 1:29:57.720 --> 1:29:58.439 Like so hard. 1:29:58.600 --> 1:30:00.519 They were that way last year a lot, and that's 1:30:00.520 --> 1:30:02.719 how Tannehill winds up out of the lineup. 1:30:02.760 --> 1:30:03.639 Give me some more mixin. 1:30:03.720 --> 1:30:05.519 I know the Titans are a good run defense, but 1:30:05.600 --> 1:30:09.040 Mixon has been looking a few years younger this year. 1:30:09.120 --> 1:30:12.200 I like the way Joe Mixon's running that ball, running 1:30:12.200 --> 1:30:13.679 that rock. Big game. 1:30:13.760 --> 1:30:15.360 This is sneaky, actually one of the biggest games of 1:30:15.360 --> 1:30:17.960 the week because it's a in theory Super Bowl contender 1:30:18.520 --> 1:30:20.400 that could really be put in a tough spot. 1:30:20.439 --> 1:30:23.679 I think, yes, I hope he's okay. I just feel 1:30:23.720 --> 1:30:27.559 like we are heading towards something unpleasant. 1:30:27.160 --> 1:30:27.799 On the brink. 1:30:29.120 --> 1:30:32.960 All right, one more game, Greg, Oh, there is Pittsburgh 1:30:32.960 --> 1:30:33.479 at Houston. 1:30:33.520 --> 1:30:36.320 I thought we were doing Pittsburgh at Houston. Fun one 1:30:36.600 --> 1:30:39.720 uh and involves C. J. Stroud and right now. 1:30:39.760 --> 1:30:40.040 C J. 1:30:40.120 --> 1:30:43.320 Stroud is one of these stories of the twenty twenty 1:30:43.320 --> 1:30:43.880 three seasons. 1:30:43.920 --> 1:30:44.920 I think that's fair to say. 1:30:45.000 --> 1:30:51.479 Sure, his pocket movement, his decision making, he's one of 1:30:51.479 --> 1:30:55.960 those guys right now when you freeze the tape at 1:30:55.960 --> 1:30:58.400 the back of his drop, you think, Okay, where's he going? 1:30:59.160 --> 1:31:02.840 And he makes a rising decisions where he'll anticipate and 1:31:02.920 --> 1:31:05.639 he'll throw it down the field. He'll make the tougher 1:31:05.680 --> 1:31:09.160 throw like he's not just taking check downs, he's he's 1:31:09.240 --> 1:31:12.320 looking at the coverage. And man, I think this stuff 1:31:12.360 --> 1:31:16.400 is really translatable. I think he's played as well in 1:31:16.439 --> 1:31:20.960 his first three games entering the league as anyone you know, 1:31:21.040 --> 1:31:23.720 since Herbert since you know, Burrow had kind of a 1:31:23.760 --> 1:31:27.080 weird start, but Burrow too, And I'm not trying to 1:31:27.080 --> 1:31:29.360 steal any points or dan Orlofsky said it, and when 1:31:29.360 --> 1:31:31.479 he said it, it clicked into me that Stroud reminds 1:31:31.520 --> 1:31:33.360 him a lot of Burrow, and I think that's right. 1:31:33.400 --> 1:31:35.880 I think they they win in similar sort of ways. 1:31:35.880 --> 1:31:39.160 They have a similar level of athleticism. That's enough. 1:31:39.280 --> 1:31:41.800 Can we get just like a trigger warning? What ear 1:31:41.880 --> 1:31:43.320 muffs the Panthers fans right now? 1:31:44.200 --> 1:31:44.720 Well, I'm not. 1:31:45.040 --> 1:31:48.920 To me, Stroud looking great isn't anything about Bryce Young. 1:31:49.040 --> 1:31:51.200 I'm willing to just see what is going to happen. 1:31:52.040 --> 1:31:55.479 I'm just Stroud in the potential class of a guy 1:31:55.680 --> 1:31:59.240 or yeah, of Burrow, and it's like, oh, you better 1:31:59.280 --> 1:32:00.240 be good Bryce, right. 1:32:00.280 --> 1:32:02.840 And I'm not even putting like Stroud that he's gonna 1:32:02.920 --> 1:32:05.240 but the stuff that he does to me is like 1:32:05.439 --> 1:32:07.800 quarterbacky stuff, like like that what I was talking about 1:32:07.800 --> 1:32:10.559 with Dak before, where it's like, man, that stuff translate. 1:32:10.600 --> 1:32:12.439 It's a type of quarterback I like. Gino to me 1:32:12.560 --> 1:32:14.600 is one of those types of quarterbacks. Phil Rivers was 1:32:14.640 --> 1:32:16.639 one one of those types of quarterbacks where you can 1:32:16.680 --> 1:32:18.639 just see it where he's doing some next level stuff 1:32:18.680 --> 1:32:19.080 right away. 1:32:19.200 --> 1:32:19.880 Yeah, like he. 1:32:20.320 --> 1:32:24.040 Looks into like here's some Hall of famers or potential 1:32:24.080 --> 1:32:24.519 Hall famers. 1:32:24.600 --> 1:32:26.599 Now, that's actually what I was trying to do. 1:32:26.840 --> 1:32:29.000 I was trying to bring back like I'm not just 1:32:29.080 --> 1:32:31.439 saying he's gonna be a top five quarterback. I'm saying 1:32:31.479 --> 1:32:33.360 the type of quarterback is. And then I brought a 1:32:33.400 --> 1:32:35.400 couple other ones out like Rivers in Gina. 1:32:35.479 --> 1:32:37.240 I just think it's so impressive when you're doing it 1:32:37.280 --> 1:32:39.439 like right away, he's also like you just want a 1:32:39.479 --> 1:32:42.760 rookie to not like create problems and mistakes, like no 1:32:42.880 --> 1:32:45.320 interceptions through one hundred and twenty one pass attempts, the 1:32:45.360 --> 1:32:47.719 first quarterback to do in his first three starts, going 1:32:47.760 --> 1:32:49.639 back to Warren Moon. I mean, it's like, and Warren 1:32:49.640 --> 1:32:52.200 Moon hit the NFL is not a rookie. It's this 1:32:52.320 --> 1:32:54.400 is like it looks like the way he's so far 1:32:54.400 --> 1:32:57.240 ahead of Picket, it kind of that's what like obviously 1:32:57.320 --> 1:32:59.960 he's pickets something. The way he throws the ball, you 1:33:00.120 --> 1:33:02.320 can just see it. And like, you know, people are 1:33:02.360 --> 1:33:04.920 very low, low expectations about this offense, but you can 1:33:04.960 --> 1:33:07.120 see their weapons and some of their wide receivers starting 1:33:07.160 --> 1:33:09.479 to play better. It sounds like they won't have Laramy 1:33:09.479 --> 1:33:11.639 Tunzel this week, but like Jalen Peetrace sounds like he'll 1:33:11.640 --> 1:33:14.040 play potentially. Like that's big on defense, and it's like 1:33:14.439 --> 1:33:16.000 I don't trust the Steelers offense. 1:33:16.760 --> 1:33:18.760 I do trust their defense though, and so don't come 1:33:18.800 --> 1:33:22.559 back to meet people Steelers fans when if Strout has 1:33:22.600 --> 1:33:24.679 one hundred and sixty yards and a pick this week, 1:33:24.760 --> 1:33:28.160 Like they've been very lucky the types of pass rushers 1:33:28.160 --> 1:33:31.120 they've gone against. And he's been protected well enough. I 1:33:31.160 --> 1:33:33.479 don't know if that continues this week, where the Steelers 1:33:33.520 --> 1:33:34.519 could just dominate and. 1:33:34.479 --> 1:33:37.840 You and you know, you could hide a young quarterback 1:33:37.960 --> 1:33:39.760 like the Falcons did at the end of last year 1:33:39.760 --> 1:33:41.320 with Ritter and it's like, oh, he's not he's not 1:33:41.360 --> 1:33:44.439 turning the ball over, and but with he's not really 1:33:44.520 --> 1:33:46.519 doing anything either, like c J. Stroud, I think is 1:33:46.600 --> 1:33:50.720 like pushing the ball downfield. He's he's accurate as advertised, 1:33:50.880 --> 1:33:54.160 and yeah, his supporting cast isn't great, but it's all 1:33:54.160 --> 1:33:57.680 a much like guys like you know, Nico Collins. 1:33:57.280 --> 1:34:00.000 He's kind of doing something. I like them, Robert Woods, 1:34:00.080 --> 1:34:01.519 I like, take a role here. 1:34:01.640 --> 1:34:04.840 Dalton Schultz is fine, like these Damian Pierce, although it's 1:34:04.840 --> 1:34:06.920 been a slow start. Like these are all guys that 1:34:07.320 --> 1:34:12.320 with a good quarterback, a productive quarterback, that offense will 1:34:12.320 --> 1:34:15.360 score points. And right now they have that, so you know, 1:34:15.760 --> 1:34:17.679 you take that and then you say, oh, Will Anderson 1:34:17.720 --> 1:34:21.400 had another huge play last week the blockfield goal. And 1:34:21.720 --> 1:34:23.679 I know we don't like to hand out any flowers 1:34:23.680 --> 1:34:26.880 to Houston's front office, but they might have nailed the 1:34:27.720 --> 1:34:33.040 most important first round of their draft since you know years. 1:34:33.160 --> 1:34:34.920 Yeah, and they've been like in a coaching abyss, and 1:34:34.960 --> 1:34:37.640 I think Tamiko Ryans like it seems like he's a 1:34:37.680 --> 1:34:38.439 difference making. 1:34:38.320 --> 1:34:39.080 So those are so good. 1:34:39.160 --> 1:34:41.960 Bobby Slowick has been a good offensive cornator coming from 1:34:42.000 --> 1:34:45.040 the Shanahan world. So it's like they're organized. There's something 1:34:45.160 --> 1:34:47.240 happening here where it's like been years of this. 1:34:47.640 --> 1:34:50.000 This is a much bigger test against the Steelers defense, 1:34:50.080 --> 1:34:52.479 especially for the Texans offense. So on the other side 1:34:52.520 --> 1:34:54.240 of the ball, you know, it's not as big a test. 1:34:54.439 --> 1:34:57.120 I didn't come out of that Raiders game like all 1:34:57.120 --> 1:34:59.400 that more confident and pickt in what's going on. But 1:34:59.720 --> 1:35:04.000 it's another chance for the Texans to kind of make 1:35:04.360 --> 1:35:06.439 make themselves a real story you want, you want to 1:35:06.479 --> 1:35:08.639 really get people's attention, go to and too. That place 1:35:08.640 --> 1:35:11.360 will be wild because that is a great football town 1:35:11.360 --> 1:35:12.400 and they're waiting for something. 1:35:12.439 --> 1:35:13.639 They now got a quarterback. 1:35:13.760 --> 1:35:16.439 It's interesting watching the Texans and it's like, oh, welcome 1:35:16.439 --> 1:35:18.400 back to the world of a living. Like they've just 1:35:18.400 --> 1:35:20.960 been kind of kind of in the NFL for a 1:35:21.000 --> 1:35:23.439 couple of years and now it's like, oh, they're in 1:35:23.439 --> 1:35:26.800 the NFL, like a real team that plays games that 1:35:26.840 --> 1:35:27.479 you want to watch. 1:35:27.479 --> 1:35:31.800 Sometimes it's all progress one quarterback. It really does, it 1:35:31.880 --> 1:35:33.000 really does change everything. 1:35:33.040 --> 1:35:37.120 Tell me about it. All right, that's it. We have 1:35:37.200 --> 1:35:40.559 a NFL Plus program. I mean, you gotta be checking 1:35:40.560 --> 1:35:42.760 this out. We would not push this on you if 1:35:42.760 --> 1:35:45.479 we didn't believe in the product.
