00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: The Around the NFL Podcast are one hundred percent natural.

2
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: Welcome back to another edition of the Around the NFL Podcast.

3
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,399
Speaker 1: My name is Dan Jansas, and I am joined by

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 1: a room filled with heroes, Mark Sessler, Chris Westling, and

5
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 1: Greg Rossatal. What's up boys, Hey Dn, Yeah, it's happening.

6
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: I don't know not much. This is week two, the

7
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: week to recap show, our flagship program. And again, people

8
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: right now, they're in in the the old device over

9
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: there are watching us on periscope. That's a great way

10
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: to uh, you know, watch us, but makes the only

11
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: way to watch us because the people up on the

12
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: third floor, the shadowy League figures, decided not to put

13
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 1: us on YouTube. So we said we're gonna bring ourselves

14
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: to the people anyway. Well on Sunday nights. That's true.

15
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: We all of our Thursday game previews you can check

16
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: out on YouTube during the week. But but I'm excited.

17
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: This Sunday night shows our best show. We don't need

18
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: any We're going row. Yeah, the NFL did not need

19
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: our best show apparently. Um but I have just retweeted

20
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: for anyone listening or watching the link, but they already

21
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: have the link because the only way it is by

22
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 1: watching this So that was a useless move. Uh. Today's show,

23
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: we will go over all the games that were played

24
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: on Sunday, from the early one o'clock games through the

25
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: Sunday night football game between the Packers and the Vikings,

26
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: and uh, just a little heads up because I know

27
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: we were all getting ton of tweets today. A rough

28
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: day for all the nominees for the Team of a

29
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: t L. The Steelers and Titans won, but maybe not

30
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: too impressively, and the Bucks and Raiders fell in um,

31
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: you know, kind of sad to humiliating fashions. I mean

32
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: another way to mention that would be that the Bengals lost.

33
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: The Steelers beat the Bengals. Uh the Bengals were they?

34
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: Well I had the steel Oh sorry, that was my fault.

35
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: I thought you that maybe should have been the team

36
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: we did pick for Team of at Bengals losses. Let's

37
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: be honest that that one was the longest of the

38
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: long shots. The Bengals one. I understood what you were doing,

39
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: and they might be the best team of the four.

40
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: So you know, wasn't getting past legislation here, understand, I

41
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: wasn't up and minded on that. I was more up

42
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: in minded to the Bengals than the Bucks. Ledge West

43
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: Lation does that work? West Lation? I don't know, Okay,

44
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: So anyways, yeah, we'll get into all that. Our team

45
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: of a t L where we're trying to figure out

46
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: a team we could all root for together. But like

47
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: we said, we're not going to force it. If we

48
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: don't find one we like, we're just not gonna do it.

49
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: And today was not a good start. But we have

50
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: a lot to get to, um so why don't we

51
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: do it, gentlemen? And we'll start in the a f

52
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: C today where the Steelers defense put on a show,

53
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: shutting down the Bengals ground game, keeping Andy Dalton A J.

54
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 1: Green under control, and at the end of the day,

55
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: the Steelers came away with a twenty four to sixteen victory.

56
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: Chris westling uh in a in some you know, not

57
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: great weather, but in the a f C North that's fine,

58
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 1: isn't it. There was an intermittent driving rain in this one.

59
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: Whenever it was heavy rain, the offenses kind of bogged down.

60
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: Big Bend did he made his hay when the rain

61
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 1: kind of stopped. But there were some passes that were

62
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: floated and off target. There were I think at least

63
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: eight drops in this game, So it was a sloppy game,

64
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: but the Steelers took control early and really had control

65
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: of the game the entire game. Bengals fans will rue

66
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: the call on Tyler board Boyd's fumble in which it

67
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: looked like his knee was down. They had a chance,

68
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: they were down eight, They had a chance to go

69
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: for the tie, but they would have needed the touchdown

70
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: and the two point conversion to even get back in

71
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: the game. We now in January, the Bengals and Steelers

72
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: clashed in one of the wildest, most bizarre, vicious football

73
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: games that we've ever seen as a group. Did a

74
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: take on that tone today, not in the least. There were.

75
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: I didn't see any fireworks. It didn't seem like the

76
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: teams were that emotional. It wasn't like it was It

77
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: wasn't like the playoff game where they were hitting like.

78
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: It wasn't like a Raven Steelers game. Because this this

79
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: has the chance to kind of replace Raven Steelers is

80
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: maybe the best divisional rivalry. Oh, I think it already has.

81
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: Did Mike Munschak pull anyone's hair? He did not, But

82
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: this seems kind of like a Neuser is the should

83
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: the Steelers fans feel like, Okay, now we've got a team,

84
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: maybe even a defense that is starting to know what

85
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: they are a little more, that can win an ugly

86
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: game in the rain like this. Well, Matt Jones and

87
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,679
Speaker 1: Jeremy Hill, the two starting tailbacks to face the Steelers defense,

88
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 1: have averaged twenty three rushing yards through two games. That's

89
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: that looks like a different element this year, that their

90
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: front seven is stouter against the run and their past defense.

91
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton stats were aided by the comeback attempt. He

92
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 1: had three d sixty six yards, but a lot of

93
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: that came late and and I think their past defense

94
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: can probably still be picked on, but they haven't been

95
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: picked on yet. Well, I think they've in and especially

96
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin has looked at the at the roster and

97
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: is starting to play to their weaknesses and cover them up.

98
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: They're not as aggressive, I don't think on defense anymore.

99
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: They're starting to look a lot more like a Mike

100
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: Tomlin defense, like the one who used to run in

101
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: Tampa and Minnesota. Maybe a little more conservative in the

102
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: back end, try to prevent big plays and play to

103
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: the strength of the team, which is the offense. So

104
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: it certainly helps that. It looks like Ryan ches E

105
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: has made the leap from from a guy who made

106
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: a handful of errors per game to a guy who's

107
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: really a Pro Bowl talent. Now has any team had

108
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: a better start than Pittsburgh. I mean, you've knocked out

109
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: two good teams right out of the gate. Now, not

110
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: the Skins, but I mean this is a huge win

111
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: for them and Pittsburgh to me as the class of

112
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: that division. Absolutely well, they held serve it's worth you know,

113
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: the Bengals lost the road division game that that that's expected.

114
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: The Ravens have started out to a know, I look

115
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: at this division after a couple of weeks and I

116
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 1: thought this beforehand, but you're thinking this is one of

117
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: the better divisions in football, and it wouldn't be a

118
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: surprise of three teams are in the mix in the

119
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: last week of the season and one is picking first

120
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: in the draft. We'll get to that. Um, let's move on,

121
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: unless anyone has anything else to say about that great

122
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: game today that was played on in America. Bengals. Bengals

123
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 1: draw the Broncos next week. They gotta get the running

124
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: game on trail. No teams had a tougher opening schedule,

125
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: I believe than the Bengals. At the Jets, who I

126
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: think the Jets are one of the better teams right now.

127
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: At the Steelers and then the defending Super Bowl champions.

128
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: That's good for a team. That's good for a team

129
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: that I think Cincinnati. That's that's that's the way you

130
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: want to do it for who you are. It's good

131
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: for a team if you come out of that two

132
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: and one. It's probably bad for a team to come

133
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: out of it one and two. Yeah, let's move on, gentlemen,

134
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:45,799
Speaker 1: to the throne of these Yes, the throne of ease,

135
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: where Jimmy Garoppolo so as Greg Lean's back in his chair. Uh,

136
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 1: life is good, or is it? No, it's not. Jimmy

137
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: Garoppolo comes in a second game, uh, subbing for Tom

138
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: Brady who's suspended. He threw was for three touchdowns and

139
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: two and thirty four yards in the first twenty five

140
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 1: minutes of game action, then goes down with a shoulder injury.

141
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: Um takes a hard hit, does not return. The third

142
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: string quarterback comes in, which is one step away from

143
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman being the quarterback. Who's the third stringer's name again,

144
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: Jacoby saying Kobe their starter now and no longer third

145
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: stringer who is now looks like he'll be starting on

146
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: Thursday night. Anyway, The Patch jumped out to a huge lead,

147
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: hung on at the end when Dolphins mounted a late

148
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: come back at thirty one to four. Patriots win now

149
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: without Jimmy Garoppolo probably on Thursday night, and who knows

150
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: if he'll be back the next week before Brady comes back,

151
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: but at the week week to week. But at the

152
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: end of the day, Greg All is good in Patriot

153
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: Lane because now you're two and oh without Tom Brady

154
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,559
Speaker 1: or Rob Gronkowski. Yeah, spin it, baby, spin it. Well.

155
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: I would have as a fan, you would much rather

156
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: have them look a little sloppy and win a close

157
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: game and have a healthy Jimmy Garoppolo for the next

158
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: two weeks than what happened in this game, which is

159
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: they barely held on to win. And I don't blame

160
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: them for getting ultra conservative. When Jacoby Brissette entered the game,

161
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: that makes sense. He actually went six for nine yards,

162
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: but none of his passes were more than five or

163
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: six yards in the air. I am now worried, of course,

164
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: about the next two weeks. Can you win a game

165
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: or two games with Jacoby Brissette, a third round rookie

166
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: as you're starting quarterback, Maybe they can. But I think

167
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: the Texans are looking at this Thursday night matchup and thinking,

168
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: if we're gonna go to Foxboro, we just hit the jackpot,

169
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: because this is when you want to go for sure.

170
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: But I guess my point being, you got two wins. Now,

171
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: in my mind, it's house money until Brady gets back.

172
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 1: Even if you even if this guy said craters, you're

173
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: still getting the best quarterback in the world back on

174
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: a loaded team at two and two, So the sky

175
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: is not falling no matter how bad this game. Yeah,

176
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: you talked about getting out of this at two and

177
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: two as a reasonable you know, expectations, so you're hoping

178
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: for three and one. But yeah, this is a huge

179
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 1: challenge these by the way, because you're nervous about the

180
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: next two games. When you're two and out, you're fine.

181
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: I agree with Dan. Tom Brady comes back in week five,

182
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: all problems are solved. That that that's fair. What are

183
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: the what are the chances we see Matt Flynn at

184
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: some point in the next two weeks. Well, they've got

185
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: to get someone. So it's gonna come down to someone

186
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: they trust. And there's not much out their free agent

187
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: wise at all. Right, he's he's been there. He could

188
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: be someone they signed. There were some concerns. I know,

189
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: I know. They had a twenty four to three lead,

190
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: uh in this game and then Ryan Tanhill went on

191
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 1: a crazy stringe with a throwaway. It wasn't all just Oh,

192
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: they're playing prevent defense, they're trying to make stops, They're

193
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 1: they're playing aggressively. The Dolphins offense just played better in

194
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: the second half, and they were going to win that

195
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: game if the game got any longer and the Patriots

196
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,959
Speaker 1: held on. I think La Gary, your boy, La Gary

197
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: Blunt has been terrific. The m v P of this

198
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: team through two weeks, and their ability to run the

199
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: ball and milk the clock a little bit, even with

200
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: perset in the lineup, was key to the way. If

201
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: you're Bill Belichick, though, and you've got, you know, a

202
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: certain amount of days to now prepare another quarterback creation experience.

203
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: Three days, what kind of game plan do you think

204
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: we'd see on Thursday night? A lot of short passes,

205
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 1: I mean, Julian Edelman has shown how valuable he is

206
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 1: in the last couple of weeks, really getting open. Martellis

207
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: Bennett had a great game, uh in some great scheme calls.

208
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: These last couple of weeks have been all you need

209
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 1: to know about Josh McDaniels as an offensive coordinator and

210
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: what he should show prospective teams when he's interviewing for jobs.

211
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 1: To me to put up the points that they have

212
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: because the thing we didn't mention, Garoppolo was playing lights out.

213
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: This team looked like it was the Oh seven Patriots

214
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: for the first twenty minutes of this game. He had

215
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: two and thirty five yards and three touchdowns in the

216
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: first twenty minutes of the game. It was I can't

217
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 1: believe how much better he's looked in the regular season

218
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: than the preseason. I appreciate the contortionist act you pulled

219
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: off to uh find something positive to say about Ryan Tanhill,

220
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: but this offense could not move the ball for fifty

221
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: five minutes and see at all, and didn't move the

222
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: ball until the game was out of hand today. But

223
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 1: the game was out of hand because of the defense,

224
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,959
Speaker 1: also because Tannehill went five drives without moving the offense

225
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: that that's that's fair. I mean, let's see Ryan Tannehill

226
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: do something with the game competitive. I guess if I

227
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 1: was thinking of all the reasons why the Dolphins lost

228
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: and should be concerned, and they should be Tannehill in

229
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 1: the passing game was the one positive you get. Davonte

230
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: Parker back, he looks good. Jarvis Landry has a big game,

231
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: Kenny Stills Jordan really a positive. The games already out

232
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: of hand by the time you finally move. People always

233
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: people always say that, but the throws here is making

234
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: just watch the game, are into tight windows, tough throws.

235
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 1: Is not making those throws earlier? Why didn't he make

236
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: those throws in week one? And Jarvis Landry put it

237
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: well in a quote to the Miami Herald after the game,

238
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 1: we can't be an almost team. That blank is over,

239
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: And I get it, you get you're frustrated. I'm sure

240
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 1: if you're a Dolphins fan Handsome Hank downstairs, well you

241
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: know he's dying too, because it's like, yeah, nice comeback.

242
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 1: I know you actually had a shot to tie the

243
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: game on the last second heave, but the act that

244
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: you were getting your doors blown off, I mean it's

245
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: just embarrassing. Well, and there were major problems for them,

246
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,719
Speaker 1: airing Fosters out with a growing injury. Who knows when

247
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: he'll be back. J G. I A has been a

248
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: kind of a disaster. Inactive last week, fumbled this week,

249
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: didn't look good. They're running game has is a non

250
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: starter because they're starting four left tackles on their offensive line.

251
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: And the one thing that looked good last week, their

252
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: defensive line, got steamrolled by the page. Dolphins fans want

253
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: to see it. They're tired of this year after year,

254
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: and you can. You're not spinning it, but you can.

255
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 1: You can poist up any positive angler, one positive thing

256
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: in a sea of disaster. Think about this game at

257
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: the end of the season, and again Tannehill has really

258
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: nice numbers. You're like, oh, why aren't the Dolphins better. Well,

259
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 1: you gotta do it when it counts. Let's move on, gentlemen,

260
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 1: and uh we'll talk about the Houston Texans. Will Fuller,

261
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: rookie wide receiver, has another big game, a hundred and

262
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: four yards against the Chiefs. He became the first rookie

263
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: and club history to begin his career with back to

264
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: back one hundred yard games, leading the way in a

265
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 1: nineteen to two all of win for the Texans over

266
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Marc sas are a little revenge after that

267
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 1: embarrassment UH thumping the Chiefs handed down to the Texans

268
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: in January. It was and it's well we talked about

269
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: on Thursday that that game really, you know, does not

270
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: in any way reflect what this matchup was because Houston,

271
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: over the course of an off season, reorganized their passing game.

272
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:21,839
Speaker 1: They got a better running back in Lamar Miller who

273
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: ran for eighty three yards today, and you finally have

274
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: someone across from new New Hopkins who is not just contributing,

275
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: but is an absolute game changer. They had they both

276
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 1: had a hundred yards today. That's the first time that's

277
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: happened for the Houston Texans. And yes, you know, look,

278
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: I think I think it's still something else you talked about.

279
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 1: These players are playing together in just their second game.

280
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: In many cases, they unlike the Dolphins, they're producing results though,

281
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: and it also has to do with their defense. J. J. Watt,

282
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: who I think last week was you know, getting cooked,

283
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: getting cooked back into the game plan a little bit.

284
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: One and a half sacks today, made some big plays,

285
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: looked mostly like his old self and had four sacks overall.

286
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: He's not the only player on this defense, you know,

287
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: wrecking the quarterback to Sean Jackson is the only other

288
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: rookie in NFL history to have a hundred yards in

289
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: his first two games receiving. And if you look at

290
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: this Texans offense last year, they had outside of DeAndre Hopkins,

291
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 1: only to one yard receiving games. They were both by

292
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: Nate Washington. Will Fuller has already done that in his

293
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: first two games. This is not nearly the same team

294
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: that lost got blown out against the Chief. And for

295
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: people that are, you know, into fantasy football, Will Fuller

296
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: is going to give you one of these. I mean

297
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: you're not happy with the fantasy community. Look, I'm fine.

298
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: I'm I'm fine with him. I don't need every single

299
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: play analyzed based on other people's fantasy teams. In our newsroom,

300
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: it's guests a little bit well up in the kimono.

301
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: We are sitting directly next to the entire fantasy empire,

302
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: and you know, we now have a front row seat

303
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: to they're doing their jobs. They're wonderful guys when they're

304
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: getting But you know, Mark, you like you're concentrating on

305
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: your games. I don't know. It's the I don't like

306
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: re play in football analyzed only on whether or not someone's,

307
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: you know, voyeuristic from a distance. Football roster on a

308
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: computer screen is doing well or not all voyeuristic. I'll

309
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: be voyeuristic in any way I want, but it's not

310
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I don't go have fun with the Cells.

311
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: Let's get back to this game, though. I think we

312
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: had a better week than the Texans. By the way,

313
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: that Colts and Jags are O and two. Now they

314
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: get to go to New England. Like you said, all

315
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: the new they get revenge on the team that they

316
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: beat him in the playoffs. Well, and with the Chiefs.

317
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: One thing on the Chiefs. They got killed by turnovers today,

318
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: and they're the kind of team that cannot go in

319
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: and have three turnovers. They're not gonna win games like that.

320
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: There's a lot to like about this offense, and we

321
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: thought they were maybe starting to hit like peak Andy

322
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: Reid form and they got crushed today by their own mistakes.

323
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: At Houston is one of the toughest defensive assignments in

324
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: the NFL. I'm playing against them at home. I'll go.

325
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: I'll throw it out there, by the way. And I'm

326
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: not saying this, I'm not pushing this, but the Texans

327
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: are a lot of interesting pieces. If our team of

328
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: a t L nominees all falter there, there are a

329
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: better option than than what we ourselves hoisted up last

330
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: week in a ridiculous show by us. Let's not give up.

331
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: It was a ridiculous, you know, piece of work on

332
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: our part to put up three total stinkers. As you know,

333
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: a team of a t L options. We can't look

334
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: into the future. You never know how teams are going

335
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: to performed just one week. Well, that's right, stay final

336
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: results about the journey. We said Thursday, the Texans are

337
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: an interesting sleepers for team of a t They pulled

338
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: through again today, your boy Lamar Miller sixty touches through

339
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: three weeks, two weeks. Let's see how I like that.

340
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: Let's calm down a little bit, That's what I'm saying.

341
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: Let's see how that hall bring that down to for

342
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: three point three yards per carry today, Let's let's just

343
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: take it down to about I know I'm not asking

344
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: for some Alfred Blue and week nine I like, I like,

345
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: I didn't like the Dolphins giving him seventeen touches a week,

346
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: but thirty. Let's go right in the middle. Keep my

347
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: boy healthy. I want that sandwich to get on the

348
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: phone with Bill O'Brien. You have his email, you have

349
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: his phone number, Billy. Oh, okay, well do I sure

350
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: we have all that stuff at our command. Okay, let's

351
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: move on. The first game at uh NFL football game

352
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles and many many years took place today.

353
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: It was the game that counts, I should say, in

354
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 1: the Rams against the Seahawks, and the Rams coming off

355
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 1: an absolute embarrassment on Monday night football. Nothing loss to

356
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 1: a forty niners team we all pretty much agree stinks.

357
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:22,199
Speaker 1: So what happens classic Jeff Fisher. He gets the Seattle

358
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: Seahawks in his building, shuts down, uh the Seahawks offense

359
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: with a pretty obviously hurting Russell Wilson h a nine

360
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 1: three lead with less than two minutes to go, and

361
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: the Seahawks marching, and they're gonna steal a game from

362
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: an inferior team like they did to the Dolblins next week. No,

363
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: because this happened, third down, intense snack, Wilson frosts he's

364
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: well protected. The pocket collapses as he throws at right

365
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: side numbers pot by. Michael puts his shoulder down, football

366
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 1: comes out, local tree is on its there you have it, there,

367
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: you have it. It's a fumble. The Rams have turned

368
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: in the Seahawks over inside a final minutes at the Coliseum,

369
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: nine three final the Los Angeles Rams of the victory.

370
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler, what did you see? I saw a Jeff

371
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: Fisher fever dream from another planet. I mean, this is

372
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 1: how Jeff Fisher in the middle of the night when

373
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 1: he just thinks about peak moments on the football field.

374
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: It's winning a game like this nine to three, uh,

375
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: in a game that resembled something out of ninety two.

376
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: It's what can you do? You got case Keenum as

377
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: your quarterback, and yes, they won the game, and their

378
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 1: defense overpowered Seattle's line, and they were in Russell Wilson's

379
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: face all day long. It didn't show up necessarily in

380
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,199
Speaker 1: the box score in terms of sacks, only two sacks.

381
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: But I think Russell Wilson clearly bothered by the ankle.

382
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: He was not the same quarterback, but he had a

383
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: chance at the end of this game. We just heard

384
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: the replay to do what he did last week, which

385
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: he came very close to another miraculous finish here and

386
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: the Rams defense got it done. But I I just

387
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: look at the Rams. I don't not taking anything away

388
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 1: from the win, but I am very concerned about Todd Gurley,

389
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 1: one of the who looked like one of the new

390
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: NFL stars last year. His trajectory, if you look at

391
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,439
Speaker 1: his yards per game and yards per average from the

392
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: first games, first four games in the NFL to the

393
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 1: rest of last season two now is plumbing downward and

394
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: the problem. He's not the problem, but teams know to

395
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: just stack the box against the Rams and put it

396
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: in Case Keenum's hands. Keenum did not have an awful game.

397
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: For what case Keen is eight yards per Tent made

398
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 1: some big throws and big spots, some long yard or

399
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: song get long gainers, but they had a first and

400
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 1: goal from the Seattle for and came away with a

401
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: field goal. Again Jeff Fisher. That's a dreamscape for Jeff Fisher,

402
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: but you have got to punch that in. You cannot

403
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,959
Speaker 1: hope to score ten points and win games like that.

404
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: I think Jeff Fisher has shown he can beat great

405
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 1: teams in games like this. In Los Angeles or in St.

406
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: Louis or whatever stadium he wants to play. And this

407
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: is the third straight when he has over the Seahawks

408
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 1: in three different stadiums. But the trick is, can you

409
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 1: do it more than seven times with this style of

410
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 1: football against other teams? And you know Russell Wilson's four

411
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 1: and five against the against the Rams, but you're playing

412
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: thirty one other teams and watch you know, this is

413
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 1: really what you want to sign up for for three

414
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 1: more years. And this is the and this is the

415
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: thing too with Russell Wilson that when you have a

416
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: bad ankle and a high ankle sprain is one of

417
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 1: the worst injuries you could have and still be playing.

418
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: I was on that UH Sunday Game Day couch Blitz

419
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: show earlier today. Kelen Winslow Jr. Was sitting on the

420
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,959
Speaker 1: couch as well, Me and Kelen Winslow dropping it up.

421
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: Me and Kelen winsl on one side, Tim Meadows of

422
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 1: Saturday Night Live on the other side a real power

423
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: tree and UH said that NFL um players rather have

424
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: a broken leg than a high ankle sprain because the

425
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: leg heals when you treat it right, but the spring

426
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: keeps on lingering and a lot of the plays that

427
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 1: I would think that Russell Wilson he does. He gets

428
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 1: away from the pass rush and then when another quarterback

429
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 1: throws it away your scampers for a three yard game,

430
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: he creates a forty five yard reception. I mean, he's

431
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 1: that type of guy. So you take that out of

432
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 1: his game, and it really hurts. It's the it's the

433
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: it's on his throws too. It's not just rushing ability

434
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 1: because it clearly, you know it toys with your ability

435
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: to throw comfortably. So why aren't they saddling up Christen

436
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 1: Michael in the third and fourth quarters when he's ripping

437
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,679
Speaker 1: off eight or nine yards. It's it's interesting what happened

438
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: with Listen again, credit to the Rams. They shut down

439
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: Seattle's ground game when they tried this. Thomas Rawls, Kristen

440
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: Michael Combo Rawls at the end, they had fourteen rushes

441
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: for fourteen yards. The Seahawks at half, Rawls had seven

442
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 1: rushes for negative seven. He he did not look healthy

443
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: and he got pulled for a leg injury at halftime.

444
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 1: Then Michael and we talked about this. Michael is a

445
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 1: flow runner. You gotta give him the ball and get

446
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 1: everyone off the field and let him do it. And

447
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: Michael had a nice second half sixty yards six yards

448
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: per rush, and he should be their guy, unquestioned, except

449
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 1: he had the worst play of the game. He all right,

450
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: he had a catch in a fumble that ended the game.

451
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: You're right, but but be no, but you can't say

452
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: he had the nice second half when he makes the

453
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,959
Speaker 1: biggest mistake in the game, and he's made he made

454
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: a couple of big mistakes last week. I'm just saying

455
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: that's that's the Kristen Michael experience. You're gonna get some

456
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 1: of that. But he is the better runner right now.

457
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 1: That's is sandwich on him being a top five fantasy

458
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 1: back in September. Is in deep, deep trouble in September alone,

459
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 1: that that that could be a problem people, greg to

460
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: your point at the l A Coliseum today, we're doing

461
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: wild the game that could and they were into the

462
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:31,120
Speaker 1: game twelve total points, nineteen penalties. Yeah and one. Yes,

463
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: they're exactly will not be the team they need to

464
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: get more watchable. But I will say this for fans

465
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 1: that remember watching the l A and Raiders and Rams

466
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 1: back in the day, the sunlight on the Rams uniforms

467
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 1: look beautiful. It looked like something that we have not

468
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: seen in so long to go from that dome they

469
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: were in. And I'm sorry for St. Louis fans, but

470
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 1: to this it was a major victim. It's writing the

471
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 1: articles for for the l A Times because this it

472
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:58,360
Speaker 1: looks exactly like the late seventies early eighties Rams. Three.

473
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 1: Uh did you just he smirched the Edward James almost

474
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: I apologize to that facility, but I did. Okay, he's

475
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: keen him now with a what a six game leash

476
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: would would be amazing? Would anybody be still well? Would

477
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 1: be stunning. But if they quietly released Jared Goffin he alright,

478
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,959
Speaker 1: moving on, let's uh, let's continue talking about some NFC

479
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: football and uh, Dallas Cowboys who lost. They had a

480
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: one point loss in Week one at home travel to

481
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: Washington and Dak Prescott. You know, I watched this game

482
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: pretty closely and Dac was a guy that he's not

483
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: gonna kill you outside the numbers that looks like, but

484
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: he'll he'll hit you in the seams and he could

485
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: make some plays and I thought he played very well

486
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: against the Redskins. The engineer drives in eighty yards uh

487
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: for touchdowns and that was enough for a twenty three

488
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,239
Speaker 1: win over the Redskins. Redskins start the season with two

489
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: games at home, lose them both. That's a killer. And

490
00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 1: the game winning touchdown scored by Alfred Moore Morris, who

491
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,159
Speaker 1: got some revenge over the Redskins, who who did not

492
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,919
Speaker 1: bother to bring him back in the offseason. And the

493
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: reason offered Morris scored the go ahead touchdown for the

494
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: Cowboys is that Ezekiel Elliott put it on the floor

495
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:17,679
Speaker 1: twice and got yanked in crunch time. So that's something

496
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: that bears watching. But Cowboys are a big bounce back

497
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: win and the Redskins in deep trouble. Chris Wesley, I

498
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: don't know if the Cowboys are a good team, but

499
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins is still not beating a good team in

500
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: his NFL career. Kirk Cousins did not play well at

501
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 1: all in this game. He missed several throws that should

502
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 1: be a routine for any quarterback, let alone one making

503
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 1: twenty million dollars, and there was a p FT report

504
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 1: after the game that some Redskins players were grumbling. Greg

505
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 1: wisely and astutely um put together or tied together some things.

506
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 1: Who know. I'll just say de Sean Jackson was missed

507
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: on two wide open throws that should have been touchdowns.

508
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: Uh not say it was him. But there's some grumbling,

509
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: and there really should be because I'm not saying the

510
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 1: Redskins were gonn beat the Steelers last week, because the

511
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: Steelers just overwhelmed them as a much better team. But

512
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 1: they should have won this game if their quarterback played proficiently.

513
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: Not many. I don't know how many teams had worse

514
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,880
Speaker 1: first two weeks in the Redskins. Losing two games at home,

515
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 1: one to do a division rival, and with your quarterback

516
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 1: plane as one of the really the worst five or

517
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: six quarterbacks in the league back to back weeks doesn't

518
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 1: get much worse. And starts and two very visible games,

519
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 1: you know you've been out classed in the course of

520
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: a week. That's that's bad Kirk. And not to dwell

521
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: on Kirk Cousins, but he looks like the Kirk Cousins

522
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: that uh was Kirk Cousins before he had that really

523
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 1: nice run against a bunch of Krumby teams last year.

524
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 1: And if you're the Redskins. You're you're thanking you're lucky

525
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: stars maybe at this point that we didn't give him

526
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: a massive deal, but you still paid them a lot

527
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 1: of money. And if this is gonna be the Cousins,

528
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 1: and if their actual is is grumbling, it's very early,

529
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 1: but this has some of the makings of you know,

530
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 1: there's gonna be one team in the NFC East that

531
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 1: really crumbles as at asn't in the picture. Is that

532
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: gonna be the Redskins losing back to back home games,

533
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 1: that's tough. Well, some of it has to go on

534
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 1: the team building too. You know, their defense doesn't look

535
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: any better. It doesn't, it might be worse. They're giving

536
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: up twenty four first downs to a team led by

537
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 1: a rookie. This is a team that they've talked about

538
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: being better up front. I don't think that's really shown

539
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: up and on either side of the ball. So it's

540
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: not just Cousins. They have a lot to be displaceed.

541
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 1: I have one question about the Cowboys, because I think

542
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: they're They're a fun team to watch if you want

543
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: to talk about that. But last week the Giants kind

544
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 1: of sealed that game up by running right through the

545
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,199
Speaker 1: heart of their defense. Over and over. How did the

546
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: Redskins look on the ground against against Dallas? And that's

547
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: more of a Cowboys comment than a Redskins question. I mean,

548
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: they were okay, Matt Jones scored a touchdown. He he

549
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 1: did pretty well at thirteen for sixty one. They didn't

550
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 1: run the ball ton though. I mean Kirk Cousins through

551
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 1: the ball forty six times in this game, which you

552
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: probably want to avoid, especially on a day when Kirk

553
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: Cousins clearly isn't spinning it very well. So to me,

554
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 1: that's interesting. And I think they look at the Cowboys

555
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: and they think this team has no pass right. We've

556
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: got all these weapons. The way to beat them is

557
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: to throw on them like crazy, which makes sense if

558
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: you've got the right guy, you know, throwing the ball.

559
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: But maybe they don't. Well, by the way, you don't

560
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: have a deep, exciting backfield either. I still think Matt

561
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: Jones guns. I mean, I know, but come on, it's

562
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 1: like of all the backfields that have been have a

563
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,919
Speaker 1: potentially disappointed to the Skins. Uh And two more points

564
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 1: on the Cowboys offense, they made a concerted effort to

565
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 1: get Dez Bryant the ball. They're talking to him twelve

566
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 1: times seven for one oh two. Uh. Does looked healthy.

567
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: And Elliott he did fumble twice, he lost one of them,

568
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:33,959
Speaker 1: but he had a couple of runs where he started

569
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,239
Speaker 1: to look more like the guy that we were expecting. Uh.

570
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,880
Speaker 1: He finished eighty three, So that was that's a big

571
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: win for the Cowboys there. And if you're the Redskins,

572
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: you gotta you're starting to get a little bit nervous

573
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 1: about what's going on there. The Cowboys have the Bears

574
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: in the forty Niners next. I think each one of

575
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,439
Speaker 1: these wins they can get. Certainly in the division with

576
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott is a huge, huge bonus boost for them.

577
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: And Josh Norman did not exclusively covered as Briant, but

578
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,199
Speaker 1: he played a very strong game. It was this was

579
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: not on jump. Moving on, gentlemen, let's talk some Carolina

580
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: Panthers people, the defending NFC champions. Uh a home opening

581
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 1: uh destruction of the San Francisco forty Niners, but actually

582
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: seven win not quite accurate. They kind of nighters are

583
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,199
Speaker 1: hanging around in this game for a while, but they

584
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 1: were simply again kind of overwhelmed by a better team.

585
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 1: Newton through Cam Newton through four touchdowns, two of them

586
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: to um a scary giant Kelvin Benjamin Greg Rosenthal. That

587
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: is a pairing that is gonna put up monster numbers

588
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: this year. I I thought during some parts of the

589
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 1: game that Cam Newton and Kelvin Benjamin just being bigger

590
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: and stronger than their opponents was all that mattered. It

591
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: was like they were hitting Cam Newton and sometimes it

592
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: doesn't matter when you hit Cam Newton. The Broncos learned

593
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: it last week. I thought he played a great game

594
00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: despite them destroying him. They're on top of Kelvin Benjamin.

595
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter. He's gonna catch that touchdown pass. Benjamin has

596
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: shut up whatever offseason narratives there were about his conditioning

597
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: and come out and just been a total dynamo better

598
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: than he was as a rookie is huge, not just

599
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: the conditioning. There was this sentiment and fantasy football circles

600
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: to Kevin. Kevin Benjamin just isn't that good of a

601
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: football player. As if his rookie season he wasn't beating

602
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: the top cornerbacks in the NFL on a weekly basis.

603
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: He's always gonna drop a few passes, But this guy

604
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: is the perfect frame for Cam Newton to throw too.

605
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: This is a game that the score is somewhat misleading,

606
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: and it shows where you can get into trouble with

607
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: the Chip Kelly offense. I mean, the Panthers offense didn't

608
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: have a point for the first twenty plus minutes of

609
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: the game. But you have to have an offense that

610
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: moved the ball occasionally, that doesn't give up points on

611
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: their own. The first seven points the Panthers scored were

612
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: by their defense, and don't turn the ball over. Gabbett

613
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: turns it over three times. They keep giving possession after

614
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: possession to Caroline, and eventually the size and strength that

615
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 1: Carolina just overwhelmed that forty Niners defense, which I think

616
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: could be pretty good, but it's not going to be

617
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: good enough to hold up against fifteen drives of the

618
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: Panthers in Carolina. I love Week two because it blows

619
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: up so much garbage that came out of Week one,

620
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 1: and I look at the Panthers right now as a

621
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 1: rather unstoppable team because there you we talked about team

622
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: building already a couple of times on this show, and

623
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: the way that they draft and developed players over and

624
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 1: over and over that is how you keep it going

625
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: for you know, five six seasons in a row. This

626
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: is it, this is this is my team in the NFC.

627
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: I don't think there's a better team in the NFC

628
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: right now. Well, they have to be concerned. Jonathan Stewart

629
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: leaves with an injury. You know, Fozzy Whittaker's up next,

630
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 1: has a good game. He's not a between the tackles

631
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: grinder like to they're gonna have. I would imagine they'll

632
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: have Cameron ortist pain active for the first time next week.

633
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 1: I wasn't impressed with him at all in his rookies,

634
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: one of the weirder names in the NFL. Right, and

635
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: the defense you don't know, you know, you assume the

636
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: defense will be good because it's great on paper. So

637
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: far this season, they did not have a good Week one.

638
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: This game is hard to evaluate against Blaine Gabber and company,

639
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: who didn't look great. Ultimately, the forty nine is moved

640
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 1: the ball a lot, scored some points in this game.

641
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 1: It was a strange game. Shouldn't he just change his

642
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: last name to artist hyphened painter? I like that, Cameron

643
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: artist Painter. I like, you know, are you ready for

644
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: the most surprising state of the day. Yes, Blaine Gabber

645
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 1: has thrown a touchdown pass and eleven straight games, the

646
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: second longest streak in the NFL behind Russell Wilson. These

647
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: are strange times. Now, they're strange that Vance McDonald scored

648
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: a seventy five yard touchdown in the National Football League.

649
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 1: Your old one for seventy five and one stat line

650
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 1: catches two touchdowns. Um, all right, gentlemen, let's move on

651
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: and talk about. Yes, a team of a t L nominee,

652
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans, who were stumbling again on offense, and

653
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariotta was having a rough day, but he stepped

654
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 1: up when it mattered most. On the Titans game winning drive,

655
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 1: he went nine for nine for seventy four yards and

656
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: a fourth down touched on pass to Andre Johnson. Uh

657
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: In Detroit, Matthew Stafford said, all right, all right, I

658
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 1: saw what you did, Marcus. Now I'm gonna go down

659
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: the field and lead my team to another dramatic victory.

660
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: But instead this happened. Stafford pressure coming up the middle,

661
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: he throws intercepted Cox to this ground. Paris Cox I

662
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: in te wow um so Paris Cox with the game

663
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 1: clinching interception Stafford's first pick in two twelve passes, and yes,

664
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans hold on for a sixteen to fifteen win.

665
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: West Your boys, the Titans, Uh, how are you feeling

666
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: coming out of this game? I know they won the game,

667
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 1: but this game, in no way, shape or form, helped

668
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: their chances of being the team of interesting. They were

669
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 1: a boring watch. There is no downfield element whatsoever to

670
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 1: their passing game. Marcus Mariotta seems to be regressing under

671
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: Mike Malarkey's golden Larkey. They need a downfield element to

672
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: their passing game. There's no real creativity on that. And

673
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: the Lions are flag seventeen times. The Titans need a

674
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: fourth and five to beat a team flag seventeen times

675
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 1: for thirty eight yards, had three touchdowns called back on penalties,

676
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: and a team in the Lions that gave up a

677
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: lot of points last week. If nothing else, I thought

678
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: that Titans would move the ball a little better, but

679
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: they had three points going into the fourth quarter of

680
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: this game. They did. I I was not impressed with

681
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: the Titans offense. At where does Jim called over verse

682
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 1: Mike Mularkey rank on all time worst coaching matchups. I'll

683
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 1: just keep it real here. It's it is, uh somewhere

684
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: on that list, the top bottom ten. I don't I'd

685
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 1: have to do more, you know, more findings since either

686
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: of these men have a job next. Jani has been

687
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 1: in a Super Bowl, He's coached the team to a PLAYFFS.

688
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: There's a lot of bad coaches in NFL history. I

689
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 1: don't think he would be on the list of the countdown.

690
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning was the head coach of that team. I

691
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: ummer Rice versus in the playoffs. That's pretty bad. I'm

692
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 1: sure there are many bad ones, but you see my point,

693
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 1: Wait versus anyone? One? Question again, this is another team

694
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: where you've got a lot of people's playing together sort

695
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 1: of for the first time. Do you really feel that

696
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: what you saw today is who they are? Do you

697
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,359
Speaker 1: don't expect them to bounce back with with after all

698
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: we've talked about with this team, they're hard to figure out.

699
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: Because their first half versus the Vikings was pretty good,

700
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,720
Speaker 1: it was impressive, it was fun. Then they went about

701
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 1: five straight quarters of brutal football. The second half of

702
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 1: last week and the first two and a half quarters

703
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 1: of this game just awful football and they don't look

704
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,240
Speaker 1: well coached. Did they still have the you know, heavy

705
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: mixture of like exotic looks and crazy shifting. They didn't

706
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: do nearly as much of that today, probably because it

707
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 1: didn't didn't work, and their numbers are gonna look good.

708
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 1: Thirty nine yard rushing sixty seven of that came on

709
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:57,959
Speaker 1: one DeMarco Murray rum where he got past the first

710
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 1: level of defense and just cruised for sixty five yards.

711
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 1: A lot of Lions fans asking if they could be

712
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,320
Speaker 1: team of a till there was never a chance of

713
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 1: disappointing loss for them. That the NFL does try to

714
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: hook up these teams by playing each other early in

715
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: the season. It's not a mistake that Titans early schedule,

716
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: and this is what this is about, you know, to

717
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 1: try and to gain some confidence and momentum. And the

718
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 1: Lions were set up to be that team that maybe

719
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 1: they're not great, but they can get somebody. What are

720
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 1: you insinuating that the league schedulemakers build the schedules to

721
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 1: try to pump up the confidence of certain teams. They

722
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 1: definitely play the worst teams from a year ago against

723
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 1: each other early that there they've talked about well outside

724
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 1: of the annual like Week thirteen Jaguars Titans Thursday night

725
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: game in late December. They played each other early, so

726
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 1: you can get it some wins on The Lions outplayed

727
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 1: the Titans in this game. They can the penalties in

728
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 1: the in the place they could call back for touchdowns.

729
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford is playing with a much higher confidence level

730
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: than Marcus Mariota right now. And really the Lions defense,

731
00:35:58,040 --> 00:35:59,840
Speaker 1: they were down to like one linebacker by the end

732
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 1: of the game. They just lost a lot of bodies

733
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 1: during the game. No one could say West is unbiased

734
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 1: because he's he's getting after his Titans team. Here eight

735
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: yards Marvin Jones, my boy, well, fifty of that came

736
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:12,800
Speaker 1: on a mistackle from Parish Cox. I think, well, I

737
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 1: would say he made the tackle Ord. That was a

738
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 1: pretty bad mistackle. Um. By the way, I know it

739
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:21,919
Speaker 1: was not a great week for the Lions. I still

740
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: like that cooner. It's a lot to like about the coach.

741
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,760
Speaker 1: It's a good coach. All right. Let's move on, gentlemen,

742
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 1: and talk about the Denver Broncos who welcomed the Indianapolis

743
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 1: Colts into their building, and the Colts simply what's up, Mark,

744
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 1: It's just that's bizarre phrasing. But yes, are you okay?

745
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 1: By the way, you got the vapors over there? Mark?

746
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 1: For everyone not watching on periscope, which is you know

747
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 1: most of you listening to this is waving a few

748
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:51,840
Speaker 1: pieces of paper with some intermittently not I got the vapors.

749
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 1: Someone them, not the whole show, but occasionally need to

750
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 1: get a little cooler on Rod the ride diet has

751
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,359
Speaker 1: messed with your body temperature, you believe, Well, it's it's

752
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 1: going to ray John for another week. We'll get to that.

753
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 1: N What if, um, if we ever could get some

754
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 1: like actual budget on the show, if we got you

755
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: a fainting couch right next to you on the end,

756
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 1: there a couch. We've asked for a couch before, like

757
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 1: you know, like the old time fainting. I like that.

758
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 1: That way we know you're safe even if you do

759
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 1: get overheat. I would appreciate that. Anyway, The Cults came

760
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 1: to Denver and they could not keep pace with h

761
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:31,360
Speaker 1: just an amazingly tough stout Denver defense. Uh. The game

762
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 1: was somewhat close until von Miller decided to step in

763
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: and say no more. Game. Game go bye bye. Lucks

764
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:40,839
Speaker 1: in the gun three to the right, one of the left,

765
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,359
Speaker 1: Denver in to two safety defense. They rushed five Luck

766
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 1: in the pockets five dollar Miller's got in and the

767
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 1: ball is free picked up by Shane Ray to the

768
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 1: five touchdown Denver Von Miller. Riller reck the Cults with

769
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: lun forty two left striped sack, knocking the ball away

770
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 1: from Andrew Luck. Thirty four to twenty, the Broncos over

771
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 1: the Colts. Chris Westling the Broncos defense just as good

772
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 1: as last year, or dare I say better if you're

773
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,760
Speaker 1: talking about difference making plays in this game, they channeled

774
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 1: last year's defense to keep to leave had to pick

775
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,800
Speaker 1: six two when the Colts had come within three points,

776
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 1: So that was early fourth quarter, extended the lead to ten.

777
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: Luck comes down and in drives down with a touchdown drive,

778
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 1: and just when you think you have a chance, there's

779
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 1: it's a six point game with Luck starting a two

780
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 1: minute drill and Von Miller undresses. Joe writes for about

781
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 1: the third or fourth time in the game, that is

782
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: not a matchup the Colts are ever gonna win, And frankly,

783
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 1: the Colts had no business being in this game. It's

784
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:48,479
Speaker 1: just that the Broncos formula for playing football usually leads

785
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 1: to close games. How many games in a row is

786
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 1: von Miller gonna win at the end? I mean the

787
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 1: an f C Championship, the Super Bowl? Week one he

788
00:38:57,880 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 1: ended up having the big the big sack or the

789
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 1: big hit at the end of the and it's four

790
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 1: and around. That's not unprecedented for do you want the answer? Okay,

791
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:06,919
Speaker 1: next next week he's going to be slowed a little

792
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,320
Speaker 1: bit and he won't be a huge factor in the game. Wow,

793
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:10,799
Speaker 1: how did you know that? You don't get that on

794
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 1: other football shows. NFL Network doesn't need that analysis, so

795
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 1: do they? How did Andrew Luck look? Because I was

796
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 1: so excited? Why when I finally really looked at his

797
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 1: Week one game, I thought that was the best, one

798
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:23,879
Speaker 1: of the best Andrew Luck games he's ever had. Last

799
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 1: week you it's hard to imagine events being stacked against

800
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 1: the quarterback to the level they were today. Is this

801
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: the quarterback version of Todd Gurley? Yes, it absolutely is.

802
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 1: You're talking about a quarterback who never has a running

803
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 1: game to keep a defense. Honest, he's six ft four

804
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:41,800
Speaker 1: with one of the highest releases in the NFL, and

805
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 1: he got a series of passes batted down because Denver's

806
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 1: defensive line is pushing the Colts offensive line back the

807
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 1: entire game. And and then you take Dante Moncreef out

808
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 1: of the mix with a head injury. He's the only

809
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 1: physical wide receiver the Colts have. Philip door set t

810
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 1: Y Hilton are not beating a keep to leave and

811
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,839
Speaker 1: Chris Harris at the catchboy, Shame on the Colts if

812
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna start wasting years of Andrew lux prime uh

813
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 1: surrounding him with this substandard talent. Come on, guys, come

814
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: back to us the coach. It's the defensive talent more

815
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:16,240
Speaker 1: than anything. Well, they're decimated, decimated by injuries in the secondary.

816
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 1: There without five cornerbacks right now. They lose Darius Butler

817
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 1: to a hamstring injury on what would have been a

818
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: pick six he got snipered. And then they lose Rashaan

819
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 1: Melvin during the game, and Tonio Crimardi is going in

820
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 1: and out of the game with a shoulder injury. They're

821
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 1: basically down five or six cornerbacks and they have no chance,

822
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: and they don't have a pass rush to begin with.

823
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,839
Speaker 1: So it's it's a combination of bad planning and bad luck,

824
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 1: which is their only pass rush today was sending Mike

825
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 1: Adams their safety on blitzes. I feel, I said, the Texans,

826
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:47,399
Speaker 1: who who's had a better week than that? I don't

827
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 1: think well, I said, the Redskins have to have one

828
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:52,320
Speaker 1: of the worst. The Colts and the and the Jags

829
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 1: falling down two games right off the bat in this division.

830
00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 1: It's really what happened in the games. Dan's no longer.

831
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 1: People don't some people don't call her. Some people wait

832
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 1: till till till all podcasts comes out to find you've

833
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,959
Speaker 1: been down this road before. Some people actually do. It's

834
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 1: the Colts are so undermanned that it's incredible they've been

835
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 1: in these games. Late in the fourth quarter, C J.

836
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:16,800
Speaker 1: Anderson came down to earth a little bit after his

837
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 1: dominant Week one, but West Trevor Simeon, I'm just looking

838
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 1: at the numbers now when you could tell me if

839
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: if you saw something different, but twenty two of thirty

840
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 1: three two sixty six eight point one yards on average

841
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 1: through a pick. But then that's good enough right for

842
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 1: with this defense, Throw it out, Throw out Trevor Simeons game.

843
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 1: Because the Colts don't have NFL caliber cornerbacks, they don't

844
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 1: have a pass rush. You cannot. I don't think you

845
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 1: can judge Trevor so can you almost say you should

846
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: have done better than that? No. I think that's part

847
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 1: of Gary Kubiak and Rick Dennison's coaching style. Play close

848
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 1: to the vest and don't let the quarterback blow it.

849
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:53,799
Speaker 1: Should he maybe just not have played? That's an absolutely

850
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,360
Speaker 1: another question. You can have c J. Anderson doing wildcattle

851
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 1: game about a blockbuster. You give a first and a

852
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 1: fourth to the Cowboys to get marks him bingo? Does

853
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:03,879
Speaker 1: this make any sense about team building? About two first

854
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 1: to the Patriots for Jimmy G I say you evaluate

855
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 1: Trevor simme and based on what he did in the

856
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: open or assume that's who he is, and then we'll

857
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 1: reevaluate him week three. I throw this game out for

858
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 1: quarterback purposes. Now that both Brady and Jimmy je are out.

859
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 1: Who's the third quarterback again? Jacoby Prisett third round pick?

860
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 1: I mean take it in the same round as us

861
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: have like a cycle on all the blogs about how

862
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:29,719
Speaker 1: hot this quarterback is. Well, I I think we're looking

863
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 1: at like top ten hottest quarterbacks not playing right now.

864
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: We're starting to get that article rounding the corner, branking

865
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 1: up on the end of round this week. Um, all right, guys,

866
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 1: let's move on. All right, Mark, it's that time of

867
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 1: the show. Let's do it. The Cleveland Browns jumped out

868
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,799
Speaker 1: to a twenty to zero lead on Sunday against the

869
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens. But guess what. The Ravens came back. The

870
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 1: Browns didn't score another point the whole game, and Joe

871
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:03,280
Speaker 1: Flack go lad the Ravens back to a to twenty

872
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 1: win over the Browns. This in the Cleveland home opener.

873
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:12,240
Speaker 1: Uh those you know, classic uh two thousands depressing Browns

874
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:15,800
Speaker 1: games here, Mark, But how did the Ravens pull this off?

875
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 1: Down twentieszp all the way back to you are asking me,

876
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:24,239
Speaker 1: I will answer you. Uh, the Ravens. To me, this

877
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 1: was a text book. This was a case study on

878
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 1: why teams like the Baltimore Ravens, when you've had the

879
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 1: same coach and quarterback, and when there's such confidence in

880
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 1: yourself as a team and the players on your roster

881
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 1: that a lesser team gets down twenty and nothing, everything

882
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 1: starts to break down. And you're looking at a wipeout.

883
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 1: The Ravens never flinched. I think they know that the

884
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: Browns are not that team that did that out of

885
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:51,879
Speaker 1: the gate um. The Browns deserve credit for putting forth

886
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:53,879
Speaker 1: one of the more interesting games that they that they

887
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 1: have in years and years, to be honest, but Baltimore

888
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 1: is just that team. And as soon as they started,

889
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 1: the first four drive for Joe Flacco were a mess,

890
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 1: and then they started to chip away, get field goals,

891
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 1: start to make plays down field, big throws, and you

892
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 1: could feel it. And I am now eighty I'm now

893
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 1: ninety for ninety Colleen Brown's games, and not in the

894
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, but in the second quarters that they were

895
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 1: gonna lose when it was twelve. Much to Greg's disappointment,

896
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 1: he hates when you do this, but I am because

897
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:25,360
Speaker 1: you could. Cleveland does provide every week a very clear

898
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 1: turning point of doom. But when you're playing a team

899
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,440
Speaker 1: like Baltimore, you you can't make some of the mistakes

900
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 1: they made. You can't score twenty and then do nothing

901
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:34,280
Speaker 1: the rest of the game. And a lot of credit,

902
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 1: uh goes to Justin Tucker, who had a big game,

903
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:38,920
Speaker 1: had a fifty yard and I think he had four

904
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 1: field goals in this game. And you know, this is

905
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:43,839
Speaker 1: before the season started when I was saying I thought

906
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 1: that the Ravens were gonna be better than people thought.

907
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:47,240
Speaker 1: And I put a lot of that on that coach.

908
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:48,880
Speaker 1: I mean, John Harbor was a great coach. And to

909
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 1: your point, Mark that that coming back from twenty nothing

910
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:54,360
Speaker 1: down and it was twenty two immediately when they blocked

911
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:56,719
Speaker 1: an extra point and ran it back, which brought back

912
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:58,879
Speaker 1: memories of the Thursday night game or was it Monday

913
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 1: night game last year. But that is just you know,

914
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 1: having a structure in place where you don't just go

915
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:06,879
Speaker 1: into a panic or go into a shell, and that's

916
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 1: exactly what they did. And Jash McCown mark um, like

917
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:12,880
Speaker 1: everyone expected, he comes in for r G three, he

918
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,440
Speaker 1: gets hurt, he makes it through the game and you

919
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:17,400
Speaker 1: could what you could classify as a gutty effort, but

920
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 1: that guy looked like he was pretty hurt left shoulder.

921
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:22,480
Speaker 1: Oh he was. He was in severe pain. And I

922
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:25,800
Speaker 1: think that he did the Cleveland Browns an absolute solid

923
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:29,839
Speaker 1: because at one point you've got rookie Cody Kessler who

924
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:31,920
Speaker 1: saw their you know, really didn't see much action in

925
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 1: the preseason and is not someone that looks, you know,

926
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 1: ready to throw into a game. He looked terrified and

927
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:40,759
Speaker 1: Josh McCown with a with a absolute the second week

928
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:43,800
Speaker 1: in a row, you're starting quarterback is a non throwing issue,

929
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 1: non throwing shoulder issue, and he was grimacing on the sideline.

930
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,839
Speaker 1: This was I think Browns fans have to look at

931
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 1: this game. You just want to see progress. I don't

932
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:56,720
Speaker 1: care about the score. There were playmakers on the field.

933
00:45:56,719 --> 00:46:00,200
Speaker 1: Corey Coleman two touchdowns in that twenty point outburst. At first,

934
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 1: he is the he is the first wide receiver Cleveland

935
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 1: has in years and years. That is a matchup issue

936
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:08,800
Speaker 1: and he had he himself had a big penalty to

937
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 1: be joined by another one. They drafted Josh Gordon in

938
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:14,719
Speaker 1: two weeks. I just think that Hugh Jackson there. They

939
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 1: are going to go through some rough times this season,

940
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 1: but to get to become like a team like the Ravens,

941
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:21,719
Speaker 1: they've got to see this through some of their young

942
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:24,759
Speaker 1: draft picks. Also on defense look good. They stopped the

943
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 1: run today for the first time about forty five years.

944
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 1: That the problem is if Cody Kessler winds up starting

945
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 1: a lot of games that's a ben you're in. Then

946
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:37,839
Speaker 1: you get c. J. Anderson and haven't run well, which

947
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:41,799
Speaker 1: is possible, right Honestly, I would roll Terrell Prior out

948
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:45,319
Speaker 1: there before I do. Cody Kesler Mike Silver reported that

949
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 1: the Browns are bracing for bad news on Josh Mcca.

950
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,319
Speaker 1: I think his shoulder did look it looked. It did

951
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:52,919
Speaker 1: not look good. And it should be noted one last

952
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:55,400
Speaker 1: known in this game, that's roll Prior. The Browns are

953
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:58,839
Speaker 1: set up with nineteen seconds to play first in goal

954
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 1: or first and ten roum the ten yard line, uh

955
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 1: down um by what was at four points and Tarrell

956
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:10,319
Speaker 1: probably got flagged for a personal foul for flipping a

957
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 1: ball that happened to Nick the defender. And this is

958
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:15,800
Speaker 1: an ongoing thing I'm noticing in the beginning of the season.

959
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 1: These referees are throwing these personal foul taunting penalty flags

960
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 1: like they're nothing, and it has big effects that have

961
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:24,680
Speaker 1: essentially ended the game. Ended the game. And there was

962
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 1: a lot of debate in our newsroom, and and it's

963
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:30,880
Speaker 1: fair about people said. Some people said absolutely that that

964
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 1: follows the rules of taunting. I I gotta say, I

965
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 1: look at that in the in the in the place

966
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 1: it happened in that game, it was not to me

967
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:42,919
Speaker 1: a flagrant outburst by Terrell Prior. I'll go one step further.

968
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:44,880
Speaker 1: When I watched in the slow motion, it looks like

969
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 1: he starts to flip it and then realizes, oh no,

970
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:50,400
Speaker 1: this could be almost perceived a taunting, and he like

971
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 1: goes to stop himself and it comes out in a

972
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:55,359
Speaker 1: very weak stream out of his hand and nicks up

973
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 1: the shoulder pad and like this, like the millisecond, it

974
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:00,799
Speaker 1: hits the guy's pad, the flags. It ended the game,

975
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:02,799
Speaker 1: and it ended the game. And so that you know,

976
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:05,359
Speaker 1: the officials, I don't know old no. And we're sure

977
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 1: changing the Ravens here. We haven't really talked that much

978
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:11,399
Speaker 1: about them. Who saw Dennis pitt A coming right, Well,

979
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:13,000
Speaker 1: that was a big note in my right up Dennis

980
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:15,200
Speaker 1: pitt u for the second week in a row. And

981
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:16,839
Speaker 1: I don't mean to short change the Ravens at all,

982
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 1: because I think the team building thing and who they

983
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 1: are and what they are as a team is the

984
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:23,440
Speaker 1: is the overall message here. They are the better team.

985
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:26,480
Speaker 1: But Dennis Pitta led the team in targets and catches.

986
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:28,600
Speaker 1: He is a major part of this passing game and

987
00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:30,359
Speaker 1: is a sneaky comeback story of the year. I think

988
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 1: everyone viewed him as kind of an afterthought and he's like, oh,

989
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:34,680
Speaker 1: it's cute. He's not ready to let go yet, and

990
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:36,319
Speaker 1: here he is a big part of that offense. But

991
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 1: I'm one comeback Player of the Year candidate to another

992
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:44,319
Speaker 1: Dan very nice away there West Patricks done back by

993
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:49,279
Speaker 1: Harrowitz style for that. Uh. Listen Victor Cruz for the

994
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:53,280
Speaker 1: second week in a row after missing seven hundred days

995
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:56,400
Speaker 1: between games. He miss seven hundred days before games, had

996
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:59,239
Speaker 1: the game winning catch against the Cowboys and then had

997
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:01,880
Speaker 1: the big catch it thirty five yard uh thirty four

998
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 1: reception thirty four yard reception against the Saints on Sunday

999
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:08,879
Speaker 1: that put the Giants in field goal range. Uh. They

1000
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 1: got a field goal from Josh Brown, who's back from

1001
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:15,160
Speaker 1: his one game domestic violence suspension, and the Giants won

1002
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:18,960
Speaker 1: sixteen to thirteen over the Saints. Uh. The Saints who

1003
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:22,799
Speaker 1: have to be dying. That's too straight narrow losses for

1004
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:26,160
Speaker 1: them to start their season. But this was a game

1005
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:29,280
Speaker 1: that once again proves nobody knows anything. These two teams

1006
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:32,279
Speaker 1: combined for a hundred and two points. Uh. In their

1007
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 1: meeting last year, an NFL record thirteen touchdown passes in

1008
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:39,120
Speaker 1: that game, including seven from Drew Brees. And in this game,

1009
00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:41,920
Speaker 1: the Giants beat the Saints in a game where they

1010
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 1: turned the ball over three times and did not score

1011
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:48,239
Speaker 1: an offensive touchdown and they beat the Saints. Uh, So

1012
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:51,920
Speaker 1: that just tells you how different uh this game was.

1013
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:56,000
Speaker 1: So the Giants, behind a rebuilt defense, are two and

1014
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:57,880
Speaker 1: oh and to me look like the best team in

1015
00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:01,319
Speaker 1: the NFC East right now? Wow they do. Yeah, I

1016
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:05,280
Speaker 1: I totally agree that this early season has gone perfectly

1017
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:07,880
Speaker 1: for the Giants because Victor Cruz is a factor. We

1018
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,279
Speaker 1: had no idea of Victor Cruz. The reports we were

1019
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:12,319
Speaker 1: getting out of training camp was that he wasn't moving well.

1020
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:14,840
Speaker 1: He's made difference making plays in both games, and the

1021
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 1: defense is quite clearly much better than last year. Then

1022
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 1: that usually doesn't work out when you do that massive rebuild,

1023
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 1: it does, it doesn't take. This looks like it it

1024
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 1: really has taken. And the Giants offense their wide receivers.

1025
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:30,279
Speaker 1: My Cessler was off. I'm gonna say it because uh

1026
00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:33,480
Speaker 1: Sterling Shepherd was targeted eight times today had eight catches

1027
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:37,279
Speaker 1: for one seventeen. One of the more their offense isn't

1028
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:40,320
Speaker 1: playing well. They've they've scored twenty points against a Cowboys

1029
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:42,640
Speaker 1: team can't rush the path at all, and that's why.

1030
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 1: But that that doesn't the personnel is there, that the defense,

1031
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:53,280
Speaker 1: the defense is there too. Twenty catches between Shepherd Cruise

1032
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:56,680
Speaker 1: and uh Odell Beckham had a bad drop today and

1033
00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:58,440
Speaker 1: he's prone to those every once in a while, but

1034
00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:01,120
Speaker 1: he hasn't gotten going yet. It's Beckham gets going, they're

1035
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:04,920
Speaker 1: gonna start putting up points regularly. To me. So the

1036
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 1: fact that they haven't really broken out on offense and

1037
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:08,879
Speaker 1: are still too and oh to me is a really

1038
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:11,800
Speaker 1: good son. Well getting all those quarterback hits on Drew Brees,

1039
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:14,400
Speaker 1: which is one of the toughest quarterbacks to hit because

1040
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 1: he gets rid of the ball so quick. That's back

1041
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:19,680
Speaker 1: to back weeks where that defensive line has been probably

1042
00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:21,640
Speaker 1: the key to their game. I mean we sometimes we

1043
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 1: make a little too much. I think about game close games.

1044
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:26,399
Speaker 1: You win a close game and suddenly get all the love.

1045
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 1: Uh you lose a close game, But sports Tom Coughlin

1046
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:31,480
Speaker 1: has to be wondering, like, why couldn't I win well?

1047
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:34,040
Speaker 1: As Dan? They were in every game like this, as

1048
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:36,360
Speaker 1: you wrote, and you're right up. The Giants lost this

1049
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:39,200
Speaker 1: game about eight times last year, and not exactly. They

1050
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:42,200
Speaker 1: lost this exact type of game over and over and

1051
00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:45,120
Speaker 1: over again. And I think Ben mcdoo, by the way,

1052
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:48,239
Speaker 1: I can't I can't figure out what freaks me out

1053
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:52,040
Speaker 1: about his hair. There's something looks like he cuts it

1054
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:55,319
Speaker 1: at home. Is it real? I think a definitely. I've

1055
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:57,120
Speaker 1: seen him in person and it's and it is real.

1056
00:51:57,640 --> 00:51:59,840
Speaker 1: It is disturbing them. It sits on his head in

1057
00:51:59,880 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 1: a way that is unnatural. Is he a goober? So listen,

1058
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:06,000
Speaker 1: I don't want to throw out goober's that feels like

1059
00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:08,440
Speaker 1: that's a shot. I'm not a saying question that it's

1060
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:10,719
Speaker 1: fair that you asked the question. I don't know if

1061
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:12,640
Speaker 1: Ben mcdoo is a goober, but I know he knows

1062
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:15,280
Speaker 1: how to manage a clock a little better than Tom coughlin.

1063
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:17,920
Speaker 1: And I know that he's leading his team to close

1064
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 1: victories which the old guy couldn't do. No no disrespect

1065
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:23,920
Speaker 1: to Tom Coughlin. Guy's got two ranks, but it was

1066
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:26,239
Speaker 1: it was nothing happening for him. And I'm just saying

1067
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:28,319
Speaker 1: they're going up against the worst cornerback group in the

1068
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:31,600
Speaker 1: NFL that lost P J. Williams, who who has barely played.

1069
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:33,160
Speaker 1: I get what you're saying, but do you get what

1070
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:35,319
Speaker 1: we're saying that Victor Cruz looks like you can play,

1071
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:38,480
Speaker 1: and we know Sterling Shepard. I'm just saying, I don't

1072
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 1: think that there's suddenly in way better plation than the

1073
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 1: Cowboys of the Eagles, because they beat the Cowboys by

1074
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:45,280
Speaker 1: a point. The Eagles are I think Greg is slightly

1075
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:48,480
Speaker 1: concerned about his conceit that the NFC South is the

1076
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:51,680
Speaker 1: most exciting division in football because we're gonna get nice

1077
00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 1: hot tail, nice you know, six and ten Saints team

1078
00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:56,759
Speaker 1: that throws the ball over the place every week. But

1079
00:52:57,080 --> 00:53:00,480
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, you're not a full team and you stink. Also,

1080
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 1: it's never surprised that you are going that the NFC

1081
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:05,440
Speaker 1: East was going to be the most exciting NFC East.

1082
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:07,880
Speaker 1: I I've typically varied down on the NFC East, and

1083
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:10,279
Speaker 1: there are two really exciting teams in that division right now,

1084
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:11,799
Speaker 1: and we haven't seen the Eagles week two yet. Oh

1085
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:14,440
Speaker 1: by the way, postcript Gregg kicking and screaming to give

1086
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:16,720
Speaker 1: the Giants any credit, This isn't a surprise in this podcast.

1087
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:20,640
Speaker 1: I rarely give them credit, but I am today. I

1088
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:23,680
Speaker 1: like where I like where the team has added. All right,

1089
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:26,640
Speaker 1: let's move on, guys and talk about the Arizona Cardinals,

1090
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:28,920
Speaker 1: who had a dreadful Week one loss. I thought it

1091
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:32,120
Speaker 1: was one of the worst Week one losses by any

1092
00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:36,399
Speaker 1: team at home. Uh, Sunday night football and you lose

1093
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 1: to a team Patriots, team without Tom Brady or Gronk.

1094
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:42,280
Speaker 1: Super Bowl contenders aren't supposed to do that type of crap.

1095
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:44,200
Speaker 1: But what do they do? They bounce back in a

1096
00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:47,960
Speaker 1: big way against the Bucks. H Bucks team greg that

1097
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:50,640
Speaker 1: we uh, you thought at least was going to go

1098
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 1: into Arizona and really compete, but they never came close.

1099
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:57,160
Speaker 1: Four touchdown passes for Carson Palmer and uh. The Cardinals

1100
00:53:57,200 --> 00:53:59,840
Speaker 1: more than made up for their stink fest with a

1101
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:05,239
Speaker 1: over the Bucks total meltdown game by every facet of

1102
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:09,440
Speaker 1: the Bucks played poorly. Jamis Winston uh started forcing the

1103
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:12,000
Speaker 1: ball made mistakes. Also one of those games, everything that

1104
00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:16,400
Speaker 1: could go wrong went wrong. A tipped pass that Charles Sims,

1105
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:18,720
Speaker 1: one of the best receiving backs in the league, drops

1106
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 1: gets returned for a touchdown. Jamis Winston has a fumble

1107
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:24,120
Speaker 1: where his own teammate knocked the ball out of his hand,

1108
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:26,280
Speaker 1: he picked it up. You know, it took the Cardinals

1109
00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 1: a minute to get going in this game. Their offense

1110
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:31,239
Speaker 1: didn't really move the ball initially, but once they did,

1111
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:34,359
Speaker 1: they started dropping bombs. Only one team in the league

1112
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:37,760
Speaker 1: can score forty points when you get twenty two yards

1113
00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:41,720
Speaker 1: combined out of Michael floyd in in John Brown. John

1114
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:43,320
Speaker 1: John Brown has been m i A this year, and

1115
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:45,080
Speaker 1: it's it's like it doesn't matter because they just have

1116
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:47,520
Speaker 1: people coming out of the woodwork, and no one looks

1117
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:51,399
Speaker 1: better at running back Chris Wesley than David Johnson's. He's

1118
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:53,560
Speaker 1: the best running back in the NFL. I'm sorry, Well,

1119
00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 1: it's not just you know, the pass catching that he

1120
00:54:56,760 --> 00:55:00,719
Speaker 1: that he gives you yards today, the pass catching and

1121
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:04,759
Speaker 1: just that that's how tough these catches are. The wide

1122
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:08,760
Speaker 1: receivers couldn't make catches like he makes. The game breaking speed,

1123
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:12,440
Speaker 1: that dynamic, explosive jump cuts that he has. He is

1124
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:14,680
Speaker 1: the best running back in the NFL. If if you're

1125
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:16,719
Speaker 1: the Bucks, you're concerned that Chris Conti is giving up

1126
00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:20,520
Speaker 1: multiple touchdowns, you're concerned that he's on your team right again,

1127
00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:23,440
Speaker 1: Brent Grimes, Like, you know, they've got some issues on

1128
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 1: their defense. I think these games are gonna happen. I

1129
00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:28,680
Speaker 1: take the long view as someone who's definitely not giving

1130
00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:30,320
Speaker 1: up on the Bucks is team of a t L

1131
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:31,839
Speaker 1: and I think they're gonna have a good season. They

1132
00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:33,680
Speaker 1: had two road games to start the year. They went

1133
00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:35,680
Speaker 1: one one, they got the road winning division. They had

1134
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:38,880
Speaker 1: a young, immature, meltdown type of game. I want to

1135
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:40,719
Speaker 1: see how they bounce back from it. I'm with you,

1136
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:43,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. This is a disturbing loss. But also

1137
00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 1: when did Doug Martin go out? Because that if you

1138
00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:48,560
Speaker 1: without Doug marton, that team is completely different. Think the

1139
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:52,680
Speaker 1: second quarter and if he's hamstring injury probably means multiple

1140
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:55,359
Speaker 1: weeks and they are not the same offense. That's trude.

1141
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:57,279
Speaker 1: And they haven't been able to run the ball in

1142
00:55:57,400 --> 00:55:59,359
Speaker 1: both of these games. They did not run the ball

1143
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:02,319
Speaker 1: well again Atlanta, who is? I thought Martin looked good

1144
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:04,439
Speaker 1: even though the numbers were there. He looked like last

1145
00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:06,879
Speaker 1: year's Martin. He just didn't pile up yours. So if

1146
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:08,640
Speaker 1: if they don't have a running game and it's just

1147
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:12,040
Speaker 1: throwing it up deep, you know they have weapons on offense.

1148
00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:14,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if Vincent Jackson still Vincent Jackson at

1149
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:17,040
Speaker 1: this point, so it's county on Mike Evans to do

1150
00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:19,719
Speaker 1: a lot. Mike Evans looks great, but but the Cardinals,

1151
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:21,719
Speaker 1: they got to just be feeling great. Well, great week,

1152
00:56:21,760 --> 00:56:23,920
Speaker 1: they watched the Seahawks lose, they get a couple of

1153
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:26,400
Speaker 1: they get the Rams and the forty and the Bills

1154
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:29,520
Speaker 1: coming up. Everything after a bad week looks a lot better.

1155
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:32,120
Speaker 1: For the question, I mean, you say, Mike Evans looks great,

1156
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:35,560
Speaker 1: and I I like the player, but six receptions off

1157
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:39,200
Speaker 1: seventeen targets what No, I know, I'm just asking you

1158
00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:42,000
Speaker 1: know I didn't. This is what happens when Patrick Peterson's

1159
00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:45,320
Speaker 1: on you and Jamis Winton is just gonna keep throwing

1160
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:47,279
Speaker 1: at you no matter what, especially when they were down.

1161
00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:50,040
Speaker 1: I mean, they're just throwing bombs down the field. Once

1162
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:52,000
Speaker 1: they fell down seventeen points, trying to catch up all

1163
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:54,359
Speaker 1: at once. It wasn't working. And this is exactly the

1164
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:58,919
Speaker 1: game that the Cardinals really wanted to see him shot

1165
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:02,239
Speaker 1: less after a quarter. By the way, does Dirk Cotter

1166
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:05,400
Speaker 1: need to bury the ball? I don't know, but this

1167
00:57:05,480 --> 00:57:07,720
Speaker 1: is exactly the type of game that, uh, you wanted

1168
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:10,160
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer to play if you're Bruce Arians because he'd

1169
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:12,680
Speaker 1: been shaking through the playoffs. Not a good Week one,

1170
00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:16,000
Speaker 1: but looked like Carson Palmer again in a big way.

1171
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:18,240
Speaker 1: So the Cardinals back on track. Let's move on, guys,

1172
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:23,320
Speaker 1: and talk about the San Diego Chargers, who um, after

1173
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:26,800
Speaker 1: having you know, crushing meltdown in Kansas City in Week one,

1174
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:29,400
Speaker 1: lost Keenan Allen and then lost the game in which

1175
00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:32,400
Speaker 1: they were leading by twenty points late in the third quarter,

1176
00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:37,080
Speaker 1: I believe, But they took the Jacksonville Jaguars in the

1177
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:41,040
Speaker 1: wood Shed in San Diego thirty eight fourteen win, Philip

1178
00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:44,920
Speaker 1: Rivers carving up that Jacksonville defense and once again once again,

1179
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:50,040
Speaker 1: Greg Blake Bortles and the Jaguars offense, Uh, completely inept

1180
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:51,920
Speaker 1: early in the game and by the and by the

1181
00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:54,600
Speaker 1: time they started making some plays, the game was long

1182
00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:57,280
Speaker 1: since decided. It was and they got beat by a

1183
00:57:57,320 --> 00:57:59,840
Speaker 1: better team. And that sounds obvious when when you look

1184
00:57:59,880 --> 00:58:02,080
Speaker 1: at the score. But I am so impressed by this

1185
00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:04,520
Speaker 1: Chargers team and this defense. And I know they're not

1186
00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:06,520
Speaker 1: going to be the team of a t L, but

1187
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:08,960
Speaker 1: they might be one of the teams of t H A. L.

1188
00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:14,520
Speaker 1: Rosenthal because I love this, respect this response, but it's

1189
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:18,600
Speaker 1: about me. Drop out, Wow, Jason burn You put Jason

1190
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:22,240
Speaker 1: Varette on Allen Robinson most of the game and he

1191
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:25,040
Speaker 1: shuts Robinson down. This is a guy making the leap.

1192
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:29,560
Speaker 1: Denzel Perriman has a nice game. Brandon Flowers, everything should

1193
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:33,080
Speaker 1: be woe is me team after last week they lose,

1194
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:36,480
Speaker 1: Danny Woodhead gets taken off on a cart and they

1195
00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:38,880
Speaker 1: just dominated, and I think they have a chance to

1196
00:58:38,880 --> 00:58:42,320
Speaker 1: be pretty good despite all all their losses this year.

1197
00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:45,040
Speaker 1: It's hopefully Woodhead is going to be back for them.

1198
00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:47,880
Speaker 1: But what a response by them. Well look at it

1199
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:51,120
Speaker 1: from the flip side to everybody wanted us to choose

1200
00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:53,440
Speaker 1: the Jaguars for Team of E t L. And they're frauds.

1201
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:56,080
Speaker 1: They are frauds, and their wide receivers are supposed to

1202
00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:58,400
Speaker 1: be among the best in the NFL. They lose the

1203
00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:01,120
Speaker 1: matchup against the secondary for the second straight week. It

1204
00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:03,720
Speaker 1: was really the kind of game that blows up everything

1205
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:06,160
Speaker 1: we thought about what would happen to both of these teams,

1206
00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:09,880
Speaker 1: and for Jacksonville it is a disturbed look. The offense

1207
00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:11,960
Speaker 1: at score fourteen points. That's one thing. We thought they

1208
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:14,000
Speaker 1: had a high powered offense, but to give up thirty

1209
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:17,200
Speaker 1: eight points and and all very quickly, I mean the Charge.

1210
00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:19,440
Speaker 1: It was one of those games the Chargers, they just

1211
00:59:19,480 --> 00:59:21,000
Speaker 1: looked like the better team right now. Is there any

1212
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:23,920
Speaker 1: pass rush? The Fowler ended up getting a couple of

1213
00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:26,120
Speaker 1: sacks in this game, but it was intermittent. I mean,

1214
00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:28,040
Speaker 1: Rivers gets rid of the ball so quickly. You have

1215
00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:29,720
Speaker 1: to give Philip Rivers a lot of credit in this.

1216
00:59:29,840 --> 00:59:32,640
Speaker 1: And I was in Miami with my new beach house.

1217
00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:34,800
Speaker 1: Well it was a couple of minutes from the beach,

1218
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:36,520
Speaker 1: and you know that she might be spending more time

1219
00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:40,200
Speaker 1: at that beach house because the Jaguars are are looking brutal.

1220
00:59:40,240 --> 00:59:43,000
Speaker 1: They were a tough watch. And I declared before Week

1221
00:59:43,080 --> 00:59:45,840
Speaker 1: one that I would sit out the entire offseason cycle

1222
00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:48,960
Speaker 1: if if they failed against the Packers. You know, it's

1223
00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:50,280
Speaker 1: a good thing I didn't say for this week, or

1224
00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:51,560
Speaker 1: I would have been out of work for half the

1225
00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:55,560
Speaker 1: year because I was disgusted watching this lad I was

1226
00:59:55,680 --> 00:59:58,480
Speaker 1: because they, I mean, they were not competitive. And you're saying, oh,

1227
00:59:58,520 --> 01:00:00,880
Speaker 1: the Charges were a better team, Well, nobody really thought

1228
01:00:00,920 --> 01:00:04,120
Speaker 1: that season but maybe nobody would have thought that after

1229
01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:07,040
Speaker 1: Keenan no games. That's what makes it, that's what makes

1230
01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:09,080
Speaker 1: it fun. If you watch the Chargers for seven of

1231
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:11,080
Speaker 1: the eight quarters this year, you would think they were

1232
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:13,640
Speaker 1: the best team in the NFL. They've doll dominated seven

1233
01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:16,640
Speaker 1: quarters of this and the Jaguars have been on Dan's

1234
01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:18,640
Speaker 1: you know, rather ugly list for a while, and and

1235
01:00:18,680 --> 01:00:22,480
Speaker 1: it's and it's because you expected very potentially for this

1236
01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 1: kind of result to happen. And that's fair. The best

1237
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:26,560
Speaker 1: thing they have is that woman that fan. I do

1238
01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:30,080
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Saying that um at her beach house is

1239
01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:31,800
Speaker 1: actually a couple of minutes from the beach is sort

1240
01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:34,640
Speaker 1: of a non humble brag. She she clarified that she

1241
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:37,720
Speaker 1: could have just left us with an illusion that wasn't real.

1242
01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:40,120
Speaker 1: I don't think she understands how beach houses work. Well.

1243
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:42,200
Speaker 1: They got they have a couple of home games here

1244
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:45,720
Speaker 1: Ravens and then Colds, although that Colts game is in London,

1245
01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:48,080
Speaker 1: so not a real home game. What was that insane

1246
01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:51,040
Speaker 1: stat that Michael Lombardi had on the b S Report

1247
01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:53,600
Speaker 1: this week about Bordles first quarter touchdowns in his entire

1248
01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:56,120
Speaker 1: career three I believe he has three, which is now

1249
01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:59,360
Speaker 1: the same as Jimmy Garoppolo. I mean about that, Jimmy

1250
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:01,880
Speaker 1: Garoppolo has got three. I hear you two games all this,

1251
01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:04,360
Speaker 1: you know, Blake Portles is a guy that needs to

1252
01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:08,040
Speaker 1: start performing now, I mean absolutely. And and also Gus

1253
01:01:08,040 --> 01:01:09,960
Speaker 1: Bradley is now gonna watch out because they've done a

1254
01:01:09,960 --> 01:01:12,560
Speaker 1: good job being patient in that franchise. But we all

1255
01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:14,840
Speaker 1: know there's a lot of talent on that roster and

1256
01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:16,480
Speaker 1: we are not seeing any of it paying. I think

1257
01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:20,200
Speaker 1: something that happens when we cover this Sport seven all

1258
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:23,080
Speaker 1: year long, that we can become we can fall in

1259
01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:27,560
Speaker 1: love with certain offseason narratives and you know trajectories in

1260
01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:30,960
Speaker 1: the Jaguars looked like they finally were going to turn

1261
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:33,880
Speaker 1: the corner the show there and it's not happened. Did

1262
01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:36,920
Speaker 1: his job, he did his job. He really upgraded the

1263
01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:39,800
Speaker 1: talent on that roster. It's on Gus Bradley. And we

1264
01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:41,880
Speaker 1: know who the new number one wide receiver is in

1265
01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:45,320
Speaker 1: San Diego. Travis Benjamin looked really good in this game,

1266
01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:47,880
Speaker 1: so he is the top? Do we trust it? Like

1267
01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:53,520
Speaker 1: we lookd Ill Williams looks like a player, and we

1268
01:01:53,520 --> 01:01:56,240
Speaker 1: we talked about him in the preseason podcast that he

1269
01:01:56,280 --> 01:01:58,200
Speaker 1: looked like someone that could make an impact. He looks

1270
01:01:58,200 --> 01:02:00,439
Speaker 1: like a starting wide receiver that's gonna be a good

1271
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:03,080
Speaker 1: option for rivers and certainly a good fantasy player. I'm

1272
01:02:03,080 --> 01:02:04,760
Speaker 1: not saying he's a number I agree, but they're the

1273
01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:08,720
Speaker 1: guy they're gonna feel the keenan now in law. They're

1274
01:02:08,760 --> 01:02:11,720
Speaker 1: ceiling is lower. To Dan's point, though, that's four hundred

1275
01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:14,640
Speaker 1: yard games out of five for Travis Benjamin and he

1276
01:02:14,640 --> 01:02:17,800
Speaker 1: he does do that occasional games, he'll blow up. And

1277
01:02:17,880 --> 01:02:20,919
Speaker 1: Gila and Spicy should be proud of Melvin Gordon because

1278
01:02:20,920 --> 01:02:24,439
Speaker 1: he is running hard. He is looking like Imary Back.

1279
01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:27,160
Speaker 1: He is fighting through tackles both of these weeks. Coming

1280
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:29,440
Speaker 1: back on the show. Baby, we might have Spicy Spicy

1281
01:02:29,480 --> 01:02:35,680
Speaker 1: back by December. You know yourself. December you know third, Hey,

1282
01:02:35,720 --> 01:02:38,080
Speaker 1: Spice Rack. We had a nice Twitter exchange the other

1283
01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:40,560
Speaker 1: night talking about the best pass catching backs of all time.

1284
01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:43,360
Speaker 1: He's feeling it and a lot of people he's back.

1285
01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:45,840
Speaker 1: He's back living the high life. He's doing great. He's

1286
01:02:45,880 --> 01:02:48,600
Speaker 1: in Vegas. He's coming back on this show. His arrow

1287
01:02:48,760 --> 01:02:51,320
Speaker 1: is pointing up for the half of the people that

1288
01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:54,480
Speaker 1: don't know what we're talking about. Spice Rack, your Desert Consigliari,

1289
01:02:55,520 --> 01:02:58,120
Speaker 1: who once advised Melvin Gordon would be the next one

1290
01:02:58,160 --> 01:03:00,480
Speaker 1: Tony Dorsett or something he said lst year if the

1291
01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:02,760
Speaker 1: Cowboys drafted and he would lead the NFL and rushing

1292
01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:06,320
Speaker 1: as a rookie. Are you proud to call spicy once more?

1293
01:03:06,960 --> 01:03:10,520
Speaker 1: You're desert consiglar I've always been proud of the spice Rack.

1294
01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:13,120
Speaker 1: I've just been a little nonplussed and dumbfounded at his

1295
01:03:13,320 --> 01:03:16,160
Speaker 1: at his some of his appearances on this pod. Well,

1296
01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:18,440
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna get him out again. But Melvin's

1297
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:21,320
Speaker 1: gotta keep it up. Let's move on, gentlemen, and talk

1298
01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:24,760
Speaker 1: about the Atlanta Falcons who went into Oakland. And you

1299
01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:26,560
Speaker 1: wanna talk about a team of a TL team that

1300
01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:30,640
Speaker 1: disappointed today the Raiders should have You would think I'd

1301
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:33,280
Speaker 1: like the Jaguars, a team that's been building this program

1302
01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:34,840
Speaker 1: and a lot of people think now is the time

1303
01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:37,520
Speaker 1: where they're gonna make that leap. The Falcons come into

1304
01:03:37,560 --> 01:03:41,120
Speaker 1: the building Atlanta coming off an uninspiring Week one performance,

1305
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:44,160
Speaker 1: they play better, they outplay the Raiders, and they come

1306
01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:49,640
Speaker 1: away with a thirty five bucks bro The thirty five

1307
01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:54,360
Speaker 1: to win over the Raiders in a game that uh, uh,

1308
01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:56,160
Speaker 1: you know you would watch us if you watch us

1309
01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:57,760
Speaker 1: in a vacuum and say, oh, the Falcons are a

1310
01:03:57,800 --> 01:04:00,440
Speaker 1: better team than the Raiders. Uh and match. Matt Ryan

1311
01:04:00,480 --> 01:04:02,520
Speaker 1: had a very good did a very good job in

1312
01:04:02,560 --> 01:04:06,720
Speaker 1: this game. Um. Him and Julio Jones uh combined for

1313
01:04:06,800 --> 01:04:10,040
Speaker 1: a one yard game, but he also found eight receivers

1314
01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:12,840
Speaker 1: from multiple reception So a big game for Matt Ryan

1315
01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:15,200
Speaker 1: and a tough loss for the Raiders in their home opener,

1316
01:04:16,280 --> 01:04:20,720
Speaker 1: especially coming off such a dramatic onion hanging win. Tweet.

1317
01:04:20,720 --> 01:04:23,640
Speaker 1: The tweet from ice Cube after the game, as it

1318
01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:27,680
Speaker 1: usually does, says it all said. It said, what happened

1319
01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:35,480
Speaker 1: to my Rayers? No d D seventy points allowed in

1320
01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:37,720
Speaker 1: two weeks? That that would be the number one reason

1321
01:04:37,720 --> 01:04:39,160
Speaker 1: that I'd have an issue with them as team of

1322
01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:43,080
Speaker 1: a t L. Almost everything else about them would fill

1323
01:04:43,160 --> 01:04:45,000
Speaker 1: my needs. I've got a great stat for you. The

1324
01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:48,360
Speaker 1: Raiders have allowed a thousand and thirty five total yards

1325
01:04:48,360 --> 01:04:51,320
Speaker 1: in two games. That breaks a sixty five year old

1326
01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:54,360
Speaker 1: record for the most yards allowed through two games held

1327
01:04:54,680 --> 01:05:02,560
Speaker 1: by the held this record. That's uh, that's a bad sign.

1328
01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:05,960
Speaker 1: But they are fun. I mean part of this. You know,

1329
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:08,320
Speaker 1: we are allowed to actually have fun with the team

1330
01:05:08,360 --> 01:05:11,320
Speaker 1: of at L and they had dramatic games. We're not

1331
01:05:11,360 --> 01:05:14,000
Speaker 1: picking the team of two and oh because that's it

1332
01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:15,960
Speaker 1: seems like some of the Twitter responses like, well they

1333
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:17,840
Speaker 1: all lost. You know you have to be at two

1334
01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:19,800
Speaker 1: and that doesn't have to be that's that's not it.

1335
01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:22,160
Speaker 1: But if if this team is inherently flawed because they

1336
01:05:22,160 --> 01:05:24,400
Speaker 1: can't play defense, I don't want to root. It's concerning.

1337
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:26,520
Speaker 1: It's how you go six and ten. That was, by

1338
01:05:26,520 --> 01:05:29,800
Speaker 1: the way, a little little uh slip there by West

1339
01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:32,560
Speaker 1: because he talks about he doesn't like women that are

1340
01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:36,200
Speaker 1: inherently flawed, or you do like them, don't here he

1341
01:05:36,280 --> 01:05:38,680
Speaker 1: likes women that are inherently flawed. So maybe the Raiders

1342
01:05:38,680 --> 01:05:41,720
Speaker 1: will find a way into us. Then everyone flawed? Well right, everyone?

1343
01:05:41,760 --> 01:05:43,640
Speaker 1: Have you ever met a woman that's not flawed? Was

1344
01:05:43,680 --> 01:05:46,840
Speaker 1: always that was always the key to was a woman

1345
01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:49,960
Speaker 1: who realizes she has flaws and works to correct him,

1346
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:52,880
Speaker 1: as opposed to one who is broken beyond repair. And

1347
01:05:52,920 --> 01:05:56,640
Speaker 1: maybe this Raider's defense is broken beyond repair. West brings

1348
01:05:56,680 --> 01:06:02,520
Speaker 1: it around original original total Act Excess analyst Ken Norton Jr.

1349
01:06:02,680 --> 01:06:04,800
Speaker 1: The defensive coordinator, got to be getting some heat that

1350
01:06:04,840 --> 01:06:09,000
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll coaching Tree has struggled to to really bring

1351
01:06:09,040 --> 01:06:15,520
Speaker 1: the Pete Carroll defense anywhere else. I want Norton, dan Quinn, Bradley.

1352
01:06:16,560 --> 01:06:19,120
Speaker 1: I'm putting it in an early um Dan Queen one

1353
01:06:20,640 --> 01:06:25,480
Speaker 1: for an offseason podcast. Just West some music underneath, the

1354
01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:28,040
Speaker 1: kind of romantic music, and he just talks about what

1355
01:06:28,080 --> 01:06:32,000
Speaker 1: a woman needs to do to be inherently flawed but

1356
01:06:32,040 --> 01:06:34,280
Speaker 1: not broken beyond repair. How do you do that? West

1357
01:06:34,280 --> 01:06:37,160
Speaker 1: puts it together for all those women, wax philosophical on

1358
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:40,680
Speaker 1: this topic for hours. I know That's why I think

1359
01:06:40,680 --> 01:06:43,000
Speaker 1: we gotta do it. Shout out to Simone Sessler, who's

1360
01:06:43,280 --> 01:06:46,280
Speaker 1: writing on the periscope comments. We love all these comments coming.

1361
01:06:46,760 --> 01:06:50,320
Speaker 1: Also shout out to Kyle Shanahan Falcon's averaging thirty points

1362
01:06:50,320 --> 01:06:53,439
Speaker 1: a game, Matt Ryan averaging sixty yards a game. Matt

1363
01:06:53,480 --> 01:06:58,080
Speaker 1: Ryan back said this Falcon's offense was gonna be I

1364
01:06:58,120 --> 01:07:00,880
Speaker 1: don't think I want to watch this game closely, but

1365
01:07:00,880 --> 01:07:02,480
Speaker 1: I don't love what they've done with Matt Ryan. Would

1366
01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:05,400
Speaker 1: just turned him into an overly safe dink and dunk.

1367
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:08,960
Speaker 1: Uh not fun quarterback to watch. What comment did she

1368
01:07:09,040 --> 01:07:11,040
Speaker 1: leave that would let's find out what she actually had

1369
01:07:11,080 --> 01:07:14,000
Speaker 1: to say it was? Was it positive? It was yes?

1370
01:07:14,480 --> 01:07:17,600
Speaker 1: And then now a smiley face for me mentioning her lead,

1371
01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:22,640
Speaker 1: tell Mark, I'm at my mother's house. I still love you,

1372
01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:25,480
Speaker 1: but I need some space. What does that mean? A

1373
01:07:26,840 --> 01:07:29,880
Speaker 1: lot to work out? Kind of a weird forum, breaking

1374
01:07:29,880 --> 01:07:33,040
Speaker 1: news and odd for UM to raise the topic. We

1375
01:07:33,080 --> 01:07:35,600
Speaker 1: probably could have handled that later. Smiling with the hammer

1376
01:07:35,680 --> 01:07:39,440
Speaker 1: drop in the comments section on periscope, rocking marks person

1377
01:07:39,640 --> 01:07:42,400
Speaker 1: and no one's watching your kids right now? That's weird.

1378
01:07:42,560 --> 01:07:44,800
Speaker 1: A couple of issues bubbling. All right, let's move on

1379
01:07:44,960 --> 01:07:52,240
Speaker 1: to Sunday Night football. Yeah, it's a game where Sam

1380
01:07:52,400 --> 01:07:57,160
Speaker 1: is your edition version. Sam Bradford throws for two touchdown

1381
01:07:57,200 --> 01:08:04,760
Speaker 1: passes and two eight six yards. That will be enough

1382
01:08:04,840 --> 01:08:08,520
Speaker 1: of that song. Thank you? I like that. I want that.

1383
01:08:08,560 --> 01:08:12,480
Speaker 1: Even on Tuesdays and the Minnesota Vikings without Teddy Bridgewater

1384
01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:16,439
Speaker 1: and losing Adrian Peterson to a knee injury that looked

1385
01:08:16,479 --> 01:08:19,439
Speaker 1: a little scary and we'll see how that plays out.

1386
01:08:19,240 --> 01:08:22,799
Speaker 1: It for one day, everything's okay because their defense carried

1387
01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:25,879
Speaker 1: the way to a seventeen fourteen win over the visiting

1388
01:08:26,240 --> 01:08:30,720
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers in the opening of their new beautiful

1389
01:08:30,800 --> 01:08:36,000
Speaker 1: facility called what West Viking Stadium. I don't know the

1390
01:08:36,080 --> 01:08:38,400
Speaker 1: name of it either, but uh yeah. They opened their

1391
01:08:38,439 --> 01:08:41,040
Speaker 1: stadium in style with a big seventeen and fourteen win

1392
01:08:41,120 --> 01:08:44,760
Speaker 1: the Vikings. Yes, the Vikings, Doom and Gloom a couple

1393
01:08:44,800 --> 01:08:47,240
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, now two and oh atop the NFC

1394
01:08:47,400 --> 01:08:51,040
Speaker 1: North and there's no one more excited about this game

1395
01:08:51,360 --> 01:08:56,240
Speaker 1: than Mark Sessler, who was quivering with excitements. Let me

1396
01:08:56,240 --> 01:08:59,160
Speaker 1: tell you something right now. The one thing I told

1397
01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:00,960
Speaker 1: you about Mike Zimmer is that he's a top five

1398
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:04,000
Speaker 1: coach that will be shown this year. It already is

1399
01:09:04,040 --> 01:09:07,639
Speaker 1: being shown. And I don't care what you people do

1400
01:09:09,439 --> 01:09:12,760
Speaker 1: with Team of TL of your feet on the desk,

1401
01:09:12,840 --> 01:09:14,920
Speaker 1: but you know what you're trying to sell me this

1402
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:18,120
Speaker 1: hot garbage like the Bucks and Raiders and Titans for

1403
01:09:18,160 --> 01:09:20,760
Speaker 1: Team of a t L. This is my Team of SESTL.

1404
01:09:21,040 --> 01:09:22,960
Speaker 1: You three can go your own road, have a nice

1405
01:09:22,960 --> 01:09:26,439
Speaker 1: time with it. This is my team. Wait, what about

1406
01:09:26,720 --> 01:09:29,639
Speaker 1: the part on Tuesday where we all could officially nominate teams?

1407
01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:31,799
Speaker 1: And because I know it won't get past the board

1408
01:09:31,840 --> 01:09:35,680
Speaker 1: because of one guy, Sam Bradford. But this was the

1409
01:09:35,720 --> 01:09:39,519
Speaker 1: first memorable Sam Bradford game, and it's it makes sense.

1410
01:09:39,560 --> 01:09:42,679
Speaker 1: He's on a good team. Stepan Diggs is a star.

1411
01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:46,559
Speaker 1: This defense is nasty. That's what I like. The defense

1412
01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:51,800
Speaker 1: is absolutely nasty. They made Aaron Rodgers look human, very human.

1413
01:09:51,840 --> 01:09:56,120
Speaker 1: In this game. Rogers finished yards a touchdown to pick

1414
01:09:56,880 --> 01:09:59,920
Speaker 1: less than six yards per attempt, not looking like the

1415
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:02,960
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers we know. Sacked five times, they fumbled it

1416
01:10:03,200 --> 01:10:05,760
Speaker 1: a thousand times, Greg only lost one of them. This

1417
01:10:05,800 --> 01:10:10,719
Speaker 1: game could have been a blowout. The Vikings defense has

1418
01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:14,120
Speaker 1: unbelievable athletes at every level, and for tray Waynes to

1419
01:10:14,160 --> 01:10:16,439
Speaker 1: come up today as the big player of the game

1420
01:10:16,479 --> 01:10:19,120
Speaker 1: is incredible for them and they have to be so excited.

1421
01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:21,200
Speaker 1: But when you bring up the Packers, I'm thinking that

1422
01:10:21,360 --> 01:10:24,000
Speaker 1: five point nine yards per tempt looks familiar to what

1423
01:10:24,080 --> 01:10:27,040
Speaker 1: he did last week against the Jaguars defense. What's going on?

1424
01:10:27,080 --> 01:10:29,080
Speaker 1: I've been played so well in week two. Things are

1425
01:10:29,120 --> 01:10:32,080
Speaker 1: taking some time for this Packers offense to get together.

1426
01:10:32,080 --> 01:10:34,599
Speaker 1: They've been the problem. I mean, as well as Bradford played,

1427
01:10:34,640 --> 01:10:37,200
Speaker 1: I thought he played Fantasticaid well overall, the Packers defense

1428
01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:39,719
Speaker 1: did their job. They give up seventeen points. I can't

1429
01:10:39,720 --> 01:10:41,559
Speaker 1: make sense of what's going on with this Packers offense.

1430
01:10:41,600 --> 01:10:44,240
Speaker 1: West And maybe you can help out here. Because Aaron

1431
01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:47,640
Speaker 1: Rodgers is healthy. Eddie Lacy were told that he's in

1432
01:10:47,720 --> 01:10:51,160
Speaker 1: better condition. He's running people over. Randall Cobb is healthy.

1433
01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:53,639
Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson's back. I know he may not be all

1434
01:10:53,640 --> 01:10:56,439
Speaker 1: the way to uh pre injury Jordy Nelson, but he's

1435
01:10:56,439 --> 01:10:59,360
Speaker 1: on the field. And yet this team on offense looks

1436
01:10:59,360 --> 01:11:01,880
Speaker 1: like the same team that struggled for so much of

1437
01:11:01,960 --> 01:11:04,479
Speaker 1: last year. What is missing with the Packers right now?

1438
01:11:04,520 --> 01:11:07,160
Speaker 1: And often? I got to evaluate the game, not the name.

1439
01:11:07,400 --> 01:11:10,720
Speaker 1: And Jordy Nelson isn't two thousand fourteen Jordy Nelson. I

1440
01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:13,519
Speaker 1: don't care what anybody says. Eddie Lacey is not two thousand,

1441
01:11:13,960 --> 01:11:18,320
Speaker 1: two fourteen. Eddie Lacy. His footwork is not nearly as

1442
01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:21,000
Speaker 1: kind of elusive as it was back then. I don't

1443
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:22,720
Speaker 1: believe either of those two guys. And if you look

1444
01:11:22,760 --> 01:11:24,760
Speaker 1: at we don't have the old twenty two yet. I'm

1445
01:11:24,760 --> 01:11:26,280
Speaker 1: betting if you look at this game, you don't see

1446
01:11:26,280 --> 01:11:28,320
Speaker 1: any open receivers. That's yeah. There were a couple of

1447
01:11:28,320 --> 01:11:30,960
Speaker 1: plays from the view we had. It's why did Rogers

1448
01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:33,880
Speaker 1: just throw to that everything's challenged that. I think it

1449
01:11:33,920 --> 01:11:35,559
Speaker 1: has a lot to do with who they faced tonight.

1450
01:11:36,160 --> 01:11:39,559
Speaker 1: The Packers also barely beat the Jaguars last week, right,

1451
01:11:39,640 --> 01:11:42,080
Speaker 1: that was a road game, and they're gonna they start this,

1452
01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:44,880
Speaker 1: you know, season with two road games against what we

1453
01:11:44,920 --> 01:11:47,400
Speaker 1: thought was tough teams and they finished one one. That's

1454
01:11:47,439 --> 01:11:50,840
Speaker 1: not the tragedy that the problem is for almost all

1455
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:54,879
Speaker 1: the last season, the offense is let Rogers run around

1456
01:11:55,200 --> 01:11:57,640
Speaker 1: and try to come up with something. And that's what

1457
01:11:57,720 --> 01:11:59,599
Speaker 1: it's been for two games. It looked the exact same.

1458
01:11:59,640 --> 01:12:02,080
Speaker 1: Any comes up with some great stuff, but he also

1459
01:12:02,120 --> 01:12:03,960
Speaker 1: comes up with a couple of fumballs. He doesn't come

1460
01:12:04,040 --> 01:12:07,400
Speaker 1: up with a consistent offense. And for this one game,

1461
01:12:07,479 --> 01:12:12,160
Speaker 1: in this bizarre world, Sam Bradford made more pretty throws

1462
01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:15,200
Speaker 1: that Aaron Rodgers, and you said it. The most memorable

1463
01:12:15,200 --> 01:12:17,840
Speaker 1: game of his career to me was the overtime tie

1464
01:12:17,920 --> 01:12:19,880
Speaker 1: that he had right as a member of the Rams

1465
01:12:19,880 --> 01:12:22,200
Speaker 1: back up a few years ago. This was better. Uh.

1466
01:12:22,320 --> 01:12:24,559
Speaker 1: I love it that. It's kind of Vikings like though,

1467
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:26,800
Speaker 1: that they opened the stadium with this great win and

1468
01:12:26,880 --> 01:12:29,800
Speaker 1: yet they lose. Maybe their greatest franchise player in the game.

1469
01:12:29,840 --> 01:12:32,360
Speaker 1: It was a sad turn. I think this team under

1470
01:12:32,439 --> 01:12:35,519
Speaker 1: Zimmer and this this sounds a little you know, it's

1471
01:12:35,560 --> 01:12:38,400
Speaker 1: not necessarily something you can say about, you know, win

1472
01:12:38,439 --> 01:12:42,280
Speaker 1: you're losing teams. They are resilient as hell. And it's

1473
01:12:42,320 --> 01:12:45,559
Speaker 1: the minute Bridgewater went down. The first thing Zimmer said

1474
01:12:45,600 --> 01:12:47,760
Speaker 1: is we are a team. We're not about our quarterback.

1475
01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:50,240
Speaker 1: And this is not a good law. Adrian Peterson would

1476
01:12:50,240 --> 01:12:53,200
Speaker 1: be a huge loss. They don't have much. Jeremy McKinnon

1477
01:12:53,320 --> 01:12:56,600
Speaker 1: is not a three down foundational running back at this point.

1478
01:12:57,600 --> 01:12:59,800
Speaker 1: Give me a break on Maddis Yata. But like I mean,

1479
01:12:59,800 --> 01:13:02,400
Speaker 1: this team, they are a They are a fun team

1480
01:13:02,439 --> 01:13:04,479
Speaker 1: to me. So the three of you go have fun

1481
01:13:04,560 --> 01:13:08,599
Speaker 1: with yourself, all right now. The Vikings fans were after

1482
01:13:08,680 --> 01:13:10,439
Speaker 1: us last year. I wonder, Mark, if you're trying to

1483
01:13:10,479 --> 01:13:14,240
Speaker 1: cozy up with that talking about theat I could carry

1484
01:13:15,800 --> 01:13:19,479
Speaker 1: at the bar the cozy in a few minutes, I will.

1485
01:13:19,520 --> 01:13:21,439
Speaker 1: I'll be You know what, this team gets my gets

1486
01:13:21,439 --> 01:13:23,479
Speaker 1: me excited. I don't know what else. On a day

1487
01:13:23,479 --> 01:13:25,200
Speaker 1: when all of our team of the team of a

1488
01:13:25,320 --> 01:13:28,840
Speaker 1: t L teams floundered, I am not personally my my

1489
01:13:28,960 --> 01:13:31,880
Speaker 1: heart is not closed with the Vikings. I think Sam

1490
01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:34,080
Speaker 1: Bradford is something I would have a hard time really

1491
01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:37,640
Speaker 1: getting behind besides an exciting Sunday night football at the

1492
01:13:37,640 --> 01:13:40,559
Speaker 1: new stadium opening. But I will say this, You want

1493
01:13:40,600 --> 01:13:42,920
Speaker 1: to tell me that the Vikings are for real and

1494
01:13:43,040 --> 01:13:45,840
Speaker 1: this defense is good to the level where they could

1495
01:13:45,880 --> 01:13:47,560
Speaker 1: they go make a deep playoff run. I want to

1496
01:13:47,560 --> 01:13:50,120
Speaker 1: see what they do next week at Carolina. Now there

1497
01:13:50,160 --> 01:13:52,719
Speaker 1: is a beautiful test on the road for this team.

1498
01:13:52,760 --> 01:13:55,040
Speaker 1: If they do this much more the same and they

1499
01:13:55,120 --> 01:13:57,400
Speaker 1: get out into Carolina with a win and Sam Bradford

1500
01:13:57,479 --> 01:14:01,439
Speaker 1: is making plays, maybe they are uh not in a

1501
01:14:01,560 --> 01:14:03,519
Speaker 1: worse place than when teddy Bridge already got hurt of

1502
01:14:03,520 --> 01:14:06,120
Speaker 1: Sam Bradford's gonna play at this level because he played

1503
01:14:06,320 --> 01:14:11,439
Speaker 1: extremely well. Chris Collinsworth West was in heaven watching Sam Bradford.

1504
01:14:11,439 --> 01:14:13,559
Speaker 1: He almost passed out here had the vapors. I think

1505
01:14:13,560 --> 01:14:16,080
Speaker 1: it was the best game I've ever seen Sam Bradford play.

1506
01:14:16,160 --> 01:14:17,880
Speaker 1: And I don't know how he went this far into

1507
01:14:17,920 --> 01:14:21,680
Speaker 1: the analysis without talking about Stefon Diggs, who looked phenomenal

1508
01:14:21,760 --> 01:14:27,120
Speaker 1: in Week one again Sunday Night, and he's he looks

1509
01:14:27,160 --> 01:14:30,320
Speaker 1: like a legit number one receiver. Well, he's got we

1510
01:14:30,320 --> 01:14:32,680
Speaker 1: were talking about it off air. He's got the quickness

1511
01:14:32,720 --> 01:14:35,880
Speaker 1: of the guys in the slot, like like a Welker

1512
01:14:36,040 --> 01:14:38,799
Speaker 1: or whoever you want in the middle of the field

1513
01:14:39,040 --> 01:14:40,880
Speaker 1: in terms of his short area, but he can go

1514
01:14:40,920 --> 01:14:43,160
Speaker 1: outside and get deep and when you put that combination

1515
01:14:43,240 --> 01:14:46,160
Speaker 1: together and his hands are incredible and he can catch

1516
01:14:46,200 --> 01:14:49,160
Speaker 1: the ball, uh in tight traffic. You think of Antonio

1517
01:14:49,200 --> 01:14:51,639
Speaker 1: Brown tape players. I'm not saying he can be Antonio Brown,

1518
01:14:52,000 --> 01:14:54,439
Speaker 1: but through two weeks he has made that leap to

1519
01:14:54,520 --> 01:14:57,120
Speaker 1: where the statement I saw on Twitter he's the best

1520
01:14:57,120 --> 01:15:00,479
Speaker 1: receiver Sam Bradford's ever had, which seems wild, but that's

1521
01:15:00,720 --> 01:15:05,120
Speaker 1: but he easily is. I can't think of anyone Betterton

1522
01:15:05,200 --> 01:15:08,280
Speaker 1: Matthews would probably be number two. I mean in both

1523
01:15:08,400 --> 01:15:10,960
Speaker 1: with both clubs he's been on. The wide receiver was

1524
01:15:11,000 --> 01:15:14,519
Speaker 1: a huge developmental issue for the Rams and the Eagles

1525
01:15:14,600 --> 01:15:17,040
Speaker 1: this season at least had a very questionable group before.

1526
01:15:17,160 --> 01:15:18,840
Speaker 1: And this is how the Vikings are gonna have to

1527
01:15:18,880 --> 01:15:22,640
Speaker 1: win games. I mean, Lynval Joseph Brian Robison never seems to.

1528
01:15:22,800 --> 01:15:24,200
Speaker 1: They always want to get rid of him, and he

1529
01:15:24,240 --> 01:15:28,200
Speaker 1: always keeps playing. Everton Griffin had a game Harrison Smith

1530
01:15:28,520 --> 01:15:30,120
Speaker 1: week after week. This got how they're gonna have to

1531
01:15:30,120 --> 01:15:33,160
Speaker 1: win in seventeen fourteen if if Adrian Peterson has gone

1532
01:15:33,200 --> 01:15:34,479
Speaker 1: for a while, It's not like they have a lot

1533
01:15:34,520 --> 01:15:36,439
Speaker 1: of receivers either. They have they have one, and they

1534
01:15:36,439 --> 01:15:39,679
Speaker 1: have Kyle Rudolph playing better well. So let's see what happens.

1535
01:15:39,720 --> 01:15:42,920
Speaker 1: The Vikings look great. The Packers you have some questions,

1536
01:15:42,920 --> 01:15:44,760
Speaker 1: but I almost I would like to Let's give him

1537
01:15:44,760 --> 01:15:46,760
Speaker 1: a month or so and see where they are in

1538
01:15:46,760 --> 01:15:50,040
Speaker 1: October before we get too worried about that offense is struggle.

1539
01:15:50,800 --> 01:15:53,080
Speaker 1: I know they're not gonna score five thirty points. That's

1540
01:15:53,120 --> 01:15:55,320
Speaker 1: a sandwich. What prop that is not gonna work out? Us?

1541
01:15:55,360 --> 01:15:57,719
Speaker 1: Those sandwiches tomorrow? I think I might we should probably

1542
01:15:57,720 --> 01:16:00,200
Speaker 1: buy Irishman some of the sandwiches soon. By the way, way,

1543
01:16:00,800 --> 01:16:03,559
Speaker 1: oh Greg's good. Oh you guys, I got you this week?

1544
01:16:03,720 --> 01:16:07,040
Speaker 1: Which which day do you want it? Wednesday? Wednesday? I

1545
01:16:07,080 --> 01:16:09,520
Speaker 1: got I'll get you sometime when I feel like it's

1546
01:16:10,040 --> 01:16:14,040
Speaker 1: Ssler feeling it. That's got the wild eyes. I listen,

1547
01:16:14,840 --> 01:16:16,960
Speaker 1: I am not kidding. This is my team. I am

1548
01:16:17,000 --> 01:16:20,360
Speaker 1: no longer even mildly concerned with what the three of

1549
01:16:20,400 --> 01:16:24,960
Speaker 1: you do on your little hobby horse path into nowhere.

1550
01:16:25,280 --> 01:16:29,160
Speaker 1: Don't pick the bucks. You're abandoning the podcast. I am.

1551
01:16:29,560 --> 01:16:32,280
Speaker 1: I am more plugged into the podcast in this season

1552
01:16:32,320 --> 01:16:36,880
Speaker 1: because of this game. Very strange. I wish pariscope was

1553
01:16:36,880 --> 01:16:40,040
Speaker 1: still everybody can see Sasler leaned back in his chair

1554
01:16:40,080 --> 01:16:43,080
Speaker 1: with his foot on the desk, acting like he's the

1555
01:16:43,200 --> 01:16:45,880
Speaker 1: king of this podcast. When you when you are a

1556
01:16:45,920 --> 01:16:48,760
Speaker 1: fan of a long suffering team, you have to pull

1557
01:16:48,840 --> 01:16:52,000
Speaker 1: joy from where you can to keep going, to keep fueled.

1558
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:54,000
Speaker 1: And the Vikings are doing that. You're not pulling it

1559
01:16:54,040 --> 01:16:58,040
Speaker 1: from your Jaguars Lock of the Week pick, that's for sure. Nope,

1560
01:16:58,040 --> 01:16:59,880
Speaker 1: And thank you for the people on Twitter were my

1561
01:17:00,080 --> 01:17:01,960
Speaker 1: endeing me of that. As if I it's going to

1562
01:17:02,120 --> 01:17:04,000
Speaker 1: keep me up at night. I couldn't care less about

1563
01:17:04,040 --> 01:17:08,080
Speaker 1: Block of the Week. All right, that's it. That was

1564
01:17:08,080 --> 01:17:10,840
Speaker 1: a good show to Niggins, Mark, I'm happy that you're happy.

1565
01:17:11,560 --> 01:17:13,720
