1
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,319
Speaker 1: It's a touchdown for San Francisco. Paul was bat into

2
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: the air and intercepted. The Cardinals get their first break

3
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: of the night. Stanton has Fitzgerald for the touchdown. Niners

4
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,159
Speaker 1: for the first down throw when it's intercepted. There he

5
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 1: is again and he leaps across for another score. David

6
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: Johnson watch out here. That's a safety. Arians celebrates. It

7
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 1: wasn't pretty on Thursday Night football. Cardinals thirty three, forty,

8
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 1: Niners twenty one. But you know what, they don't count

9
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 1: style points in the standings, and the Cardinals needed this

10
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: game badly. I'm Greg Rosenthal. I'm here with Chris Wesley

11
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 1: and as always talking Thursday Night football. Before we get

12
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: to the full Week five preview, Chris Westling, you boys,

13
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: the Cardinals got off the schneid in a game that

14
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: they had to start Drew Stanton, so they gotta be happy.

15
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: Drew Stanton was terrible. He was awful. They won in

16
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: spite of him. I watched this game with Mark and

17
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: midway through the second quarter, we both said they can't

18
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 1: just run David Johnson all game and expect to win

19
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: as their only play, and it's almost what they did.

20
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: It is they could, because that's how good David Johnson is.

21
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: I mean, that's why as bad as this game was

22
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: for long stretches, there's twelve punts in the first half. Uh,

23
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: it was ugly. Some bad quarterback play. You got to

24
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 1: see David Johnson rack up a hundred and eighty five

25
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 1: yards from scrimmage using the entire arsenal I mean, plays

26
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 1: to the outside stops and starts running over people at

27
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: the goal line. Nice wheel route. It was basically, hey,

28
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna win this game with just David Johnson and oh,

29
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: by the way, one of the best all time receivers

30
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald having another big night. It's crazy how different

31
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: this year's Cardinals are because if you watched them all

32
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: seasons so far, they have a few mainstays. On offense,

33
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: you have David Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald. Those have been

34
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: their only their best. They're only two reliable players. When

35
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: last year Michael Floyd was so good at the end

36
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: of the year, John Brown was so good throughout the year,

37
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer was so great. This year it's only David

38
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald, and then on defense Tony Jefferson,

39
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: who made a great special teams play tonight too. And

40
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: Marcus Golden, who is a young James Harrison coming off

41
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: the edge. He has been one of my favorite defensive

42
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: players to watch this year and the reason the Cardinals

43
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: let to White Freeney walk after leading in sacks because

44
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: they wanted Marcus Golden to play every down. He leads

45
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: the NFL and sacks. He LAIDs the NFL and sacks

46
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: right now, He had ted tackles, made some plays in

47
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: the running game. Chandler Jones playing pretty well too. That's

48
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: a nice tandem that they have. But to your point

49
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: on Fitzgerald and Johnson, it's amazing. How bad would this

50
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: Cardinals team be if they didn't have two of the

51
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: very best players we're talking to all pros this year.

52
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: Absolutely here here, This puts it in perspective. I just

53
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: did some quick math on the on the paper, I

54
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: got a lot higher than thirty nine on my statement

55
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 1: we didn't have state mandated matthes. They had two d

56
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: and sixty six yards tonight. The rest of the Cardinals

57
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: team had twenty two more yards. Is outrageous. Mark and

58
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: I saw that staff when we were watching the game

59
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: and we were appalled. It's it's outrageous Fitzgerald's greatness. You

60
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,239
Speaker 1: could see it. And it's in the first three touchdowns

61
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: that the cardinal score. Two of them were by Fitzgerald

62
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: using some veteran savvy separating from defender using push off. Yeah,

63
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: little push off, but he knows how to get away

64
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: with it, making Drew Stanton look good on one of

65
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: his better throws of the night. And then on the

66
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: third touchdown it was David Johnson running in with Fitzgerald blocking.

67
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: So these two guys are great. I agree with you.

68
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: Stanton is a problem. They're not gonna win any games

69
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: with Stanton at quarterback unless and that's they're playing. They

70
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: would have lost any other game, and they got lucky tonight.

71
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: Their first two touchdowns come after a tip tipped pick

72
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: which really turned the game around, and then a fumbled kickoff.

73
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: Their first two touchdown drives totaled thirty five yards combined,

74
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: but that helped them, uh feel a little better and

75
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: get some points. Bruce arians handpicked backup quarterback from their

76
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: time together in Indianapolis. We remember before they traded for

77
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer and he went out on a limb and said,

78
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: I have no qualms starting Drew Stanton. This is his

79
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 1: hand pick guy, and of the last five years he

80
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: is out of seventy quarterbacks with three more pass attempts.

81
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: He's in the seventy seventy five range in almost every

82
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: passing category. He's that bad of a pass four point

83
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 1: four yards per attempt, so that's lower than Johnson's yards

84
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: per carry. That said, there, two and three. Uh, they

85
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 1: get a couple of home games here. They get the

86
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: Jets next week, also in prime time. Hopefully Carson Palmer's back.

87
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: You just you hope that they just start getting it

88
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: rolling because they needed this one to to flip to

89
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: the other side very quickly. The most noteworthy thing for

90
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: the forty Niners to me where they we want cap chance.

91
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if you could hear that, where you

92
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: were Chris Wesley and the crowd wanting Kaepernick and I

93
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: can't blame them. But let's be honest, though, Kaepernick, who

94
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: is so many pounds underweight and he's standing on the

95
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: sideline looking like Gazoo from the Flute Stones, I mean,

96
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: can we take this guy seriously? Has a better option

97
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: to blame. He's not He's not saving this team. I

98
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: mean gab It's a bad side though, the best thing

99
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: about the forty Niners offense was Gabbert's running ability. He

100
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: had seventy yards. Curly would like the world to know

101
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 1: that when the story of his career is written, it

102
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: will say I have been the best receiver on two

103
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: different teams. How many receivers in history have said that? Yeah?

104
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: That that was one um downside for the Cardinals. Tonight

105
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: they put Honey Badger in the slot and Jeremy Curley

106
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: had his way with him. Really eight catches hundred and

107
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: two yards in a touchdown to Honey Badger getting back

108
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: to the mix. But Honey Badger did give me my

109
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: most memorable part of this game. They had him miked up.

110
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if they ever even aired this, but

111
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 1: I saw it when they showed it during commercials. Sometimes

112
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: we'll see the production. He was just screaming to anyone

113
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: on the sideline that would listen over and over again,

114
00:05:55,360 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: that's David Johnson. That's David Johnson. That's David Johnson. And

115
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: and I and I'm sitting there thinking, I know the feeling, baby,

116
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,679
Speaker 1: which brings us back to all or nothing. When Honey

117
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: Bidgers on the sideline, saying that's a bigger version of

118
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: Marshall Falk. And what Mark Sessler would like everyone to

119
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: know tonight is David Johnson is like Genghis Khan running

120
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: with the horse and the wind is blowing the main

121
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:23,119
Speaker 1: and he is taking the Mongolian steps, while the forty

122
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: Niners linebackers are little prairie soldiers hiding behind trees, hoping

123
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: David Johnson doesn't trample them. And with that over to you,

124
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:37,600

139
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: Uh with time references? I like this good question. I

140
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: have to think about that. The song you were referencing,

141
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: by the way by the Bengals is hazy Shade of

142
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: Winter there. Maybe Kate Bush has a song? Maybe what

143
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: about you got any rap references old hip hop? Rosenthal

144
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,520

Speaker 1: top that it's very good. Yes, what you just heard

146
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: The top of the show was Chris Westling and Greg

147
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: Rose with all the scientists breaking down the banger uh

148
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: in Arizona Thursday night between the Drew Stanton led Arizona

149
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: Cardinals UH and their matchup against the San Francisco forty Niners. UH.

150
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: Not the best game in the world, but we have

151
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: some better ones to talk about. Um. Even though we

152
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: do have some byes this week, guys, I don't like

153
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: with the show is going right off the top. Why

154
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: I made a musical reference to and Greg only referenced

155
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: west is oh. I liked Wes's musical references. That's true,

156
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: but you had a little more, very true, you had

157
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 1: time to think about it. What I was saying. I

158
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: don't like when people give you an open ended question

159
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: like that you just gotta But you said that you

160
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: yourself couldn't come up with one, and I did, and

161
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: so not how much time I had? I got it

162
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: done before the clock expired. If I was power ranking

163
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: the ability to answer Dan's musical questions number one West,

164
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: number two more, number three? Well, okay, sorry behind the

165
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: glass and just started. If if we could turn back

166
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: time by share and then I'll go into some mid

167
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: nineties heartland rock. If you give me a second time?

168
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: Why you punish me? Bock a wave crashing into the

169
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: shore hole punishing you? Wash away, Madre. I regret bringing

170
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: this topic up the second time. Who is that I

171
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,839
Speaker 1: was born at thirty two years old in two thousand four? McCain?

172
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 1: Is it? That is hooting and the bluffish? Okay, how

173
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: about memories, misty water color memories of the way we were?

174
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: This is all set up to get Less the same. Alright,

175
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: Less went deeper showing his age there that is uh

176
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 1: early seven. I'd like to think not showing my age,

177
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: showing my appreciation unlike millennials for things that happened before

178
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: I was born. It's on the table now, all right,

179
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: let's move on. We are now we're drifting, Mark, I

180
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,079
Speaker 1: like it. Things were okay and then you called out

181
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: Greg and it's sent us down a further this week,

182
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: and we still have to make sure that we crossed

183
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: the hour barrier now. Now, all the listeners that have

184
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: the around the NFL drinking game just got drunk because

185
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: West made fun of millennials. And the Kansas City Chiefs,

186
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: the newall In Saints, the Seattle Seahawks, and Jacksonville Jaguars

187
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: all off this week. But still there are games to

188
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: talk about, because we already had the two teams from Thursday,

189
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: and then two plus four equals sixty two minus six

190
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: is the team games to talk about. More drinking game

191
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: fodder on fire, all right? So yes, why don't let's

192
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: not waste any time, guys, let's dive right into these

193
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:53,719
Speaker 1: previews and let us start um on the throne of me.

194
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: Because you might have heard that a water back is

195
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 1: back in action after a much deserved and warranted four

196
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: game suspension for taking air out of footballs, which was

197
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: proven conclusively. Uh, none of this is true. We just

198
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: move forward now that was That's something that happened. You

199
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: can't fight it anymore. He served the suspension, so it

200
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 1: definitely happened, and now he's back. Tom Brady is the

201
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: quarterback of the New England Patriots again. No more Jake

202
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: Brisket talk, Jake, that is the last time I'll ever

203
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: use that drop. No Jimmy Garoppolo talk. Most likely, Tom

204
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: Brady is a quarterback. And what happens mark He travels

205
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: to Cleveland with his Patriots teammates to face the Browns,

206
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 1: the only winless team in football. Uh, you cannot be feeling.

207
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: You were very upset when the Redskins beat your Browns.

208
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: They were your lock of the week. But there will

209
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: be no such locks this week? Will there? Um? You

210
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 1: know they will. I think they won't be a winless

211
00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: team comes Sunday night. Wow, I'm kidding O. It's you know,

212
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: I'll say this about Cleveland and I and Greg echoed

213
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: it in his power rankings that they've played hard every game.

214
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: I know people think that's, uh, you know, should we

215
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: get the lollipops out? I know, I agree it's but

216
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: it's just that they have the number one rushing, tack

217
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: and football. They're not some they're not absolutely function lists,

218
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: but this is a buzz saw. I mean it's not

219
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 1: just Tom Brady. They get Robbed Ninkovich back this week

220
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: as well, and you know Bill Belichick has, uh, what's what?

221
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 1: What are you gonna game plan fear Terrell prior not

222
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: a whole lot else outside of stopping the run, And

223
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: we I think we're gonna get a Tom Brady that

224
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 1: is going to be ultra fired up, angry and ready

225
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: to decimate whatever is in his way. We should add

226
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: that Rob Gronkowski Mike Aroffalo report came out this week

227
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: that the hamstring is still not ripe, and I guess

228
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: inside that building there's some surprise that it hasn't recuperated

229
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: at the rate that they expected. But Grunt came out

230
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: on Wednesday and made some comments along the lines of

231
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,199
Speaker 1: he's looking to push to the next level and kind

232
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: of get out there be more of a force on

233
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 1: this offense. Well, he's not Gronk. They're show in it

234
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: by how they're using him. Martellis Bennett is their best

235
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: tight end right now, and they're not only the tight end,

236
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: probably the best tight end the league. He's been the

237
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,319
Speaker 1: best tight end in football through four weeks. I think

238
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: he's their new Gronk. While Gronk is on the show,

239
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: his movement for two seventy five pounds is outrageous. I mean,

240
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: maybe he's moved this well before in his career, but

241
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: I I don't remember. I mean, in terms of the

242
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: open field and the running for that size is just crazy.

243
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 1: Even if Gronk gets back, you would think they should

244
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: make sure he's going to have a role going forward. Well,

245
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: that was the plan, wasn't it, to have both of them.

246
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: That's what they've tried to do ever since Aaron Hernandez

247
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: got shuffled out of the league. This offense is gonna

248
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: give defenses fits. You throw in Julian Edelman, Chris Hogan,

249
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: Malcolm Mitchell, James White, the Garrett Blunt. This this offense

250
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: is gonna have way too many weapons offensive he stopped.

251
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: Once Gronk is healthy against the Brown secondary, that is

252
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: low wattage to say the least it is, and you

253
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: would think it's gonna get going. But the offensive line

254
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: didn't play last well last week. This is a much

255
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 1: easier matchup, you would think, and the defense didn't play

256
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: well last week for the Patriots, so they're gonna be

257
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 1: fired up to get back on track. Nikovic is a

258
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: very important I think that's a huge deal addition for them,

259
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: and they were a team. I think if you're gonna

260
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: beat the Patriots, ball control offense, like the Bills showed

261
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: last week, is what is the best way to do it.

262
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 1: Certainly for the Browns, I think that's how they're going

263
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: to try to attack them. Yeah, I mean, they're not

264
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: gonna face the Redskins completely soft bellied run defense this week,

265
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: and the Patriots are in about middle of the league

266
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: stopping the run. But you know, I just don't see

267
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: Cleveland winning this unless they absolutely played the perfect game.

268
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: You'd have to How about this. The Browns have played

269
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: everybody tight. They're they're due for a win. I mean

270
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: at oh and three or four, and Tom Brady has

271
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: been sunbathing and shooting commercials and been off the grid.

272
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: Maybe they don't hit the ground running and and pile

273
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: up you know, five total yards this week. Maybe it's

274
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: gonna take him a couple of weeks for the Patriots

275
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: will be the page. What kind of game plan do

276
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: you think they will unfurl with Brady. I'm not you know,

277
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: he's coming back. He's still Tom Brady. But maybe it

278
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: isn't a complete departure from what they've been doing on

279
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: ground in terms of, you know, favoring the run on

280
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: some level, I think they'll throw a lot. I mean,

281
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: he's not gonna be going deep down the field. But

282
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: that's their team. I know Leglaire Blunt's played well, but

283
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: their team is Edelman, Gronk, Bennett, short passing. Let let

284
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: Brady do it. I know that Hugh Jackson is scheming

285
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: well for these running backs, but Isaiah Crowell Crowell looks well. Yeah,

286
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: it looks much more explosive this year per carry guys

287
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: in the league on the same team for the first

288
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: time of any NFL team, while the Bengals are averaging

289
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: three point four yards per carry. Hugh Jackson's gone, and

290
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: he took his offense to Believeland. Let's move on, guys.

291
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: Let's talk about one of the few remaining undefeated teams

292
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: in football, the Philadelphia Eagles three and o. Coming off

293
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: their bye week now, they travel to Detroit to face

294
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: the Lions, who had a bad loss to a bad

295
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: Bears team last week. So, uh, you know, even though,

296
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: and listen, this is not stuff that I just tell everybody. Sure,

297
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: I don't call my mom and tell her this, but

298
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: I can tell you guys this because your real football heads.

299
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: I like this, Cooter. I got a question for you. Actually,

300
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: this comes from Loyal podcast listener Drew Augustine. Did you

301
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: catch what I said? Though? A Lions fan wants to know,

302
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: does Dan still like that? Cooter? I love it? No,

303
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: because I think I'm gonna give him a pass. That

304
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: was the first bad Matt Stafford game in weeks. Uh.

305
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: And let me just say, I'm not gonna lock this

306
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: up or anything, but Greg Roosevelt, I really think that

307
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions could give the Eagles some fits here.

308
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: I don't see it. I think this Eagles team, because

309
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: of their defense, because they're a complete team, should take

310
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: care of this game. I mean, the Lions are missing

311
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: Ziggy Anza and DeAndre Levy from a defense that to me,

312
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: was talent challenged to begin with. I don't think you

313
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: can undersell how short they are defensively. They're also possibly

314
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: missing starting cornerback Nevin Laws And for this game. And

315
00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: I made that name ups that's like Clive Walford British brothers.

316
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: And I want to see how this Eagle's running game

317
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 1: does against them the Eagles. Last time we saw the Eagles,

318
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,679
Speaker 1: didn't matter who was that running back, whether it's Smallwood

319
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 1: or Barner. And they get Matthews back this week or Sprawls,

320
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: they're all running pretty well behind this offensive line. Let

321
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 1: me unpack that Cooter question for you. But the Lions

322
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: scored one touchdown against the Titans. We're down thirty one

323
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 1: to three against the Packers while the game was still

324
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: now that's well, that's not fair. They had literally two

325
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: or three drives before that score before they fell behind

326
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: by three, and they started goes the trend. They played well,

327
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 1: scored one touchdown against the Titans, they were down thirty

328
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 1: one to three against the Packers, and they scored six

329
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 1: points on offense against the Bears. You still like that, Cooter,

330
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: And this is a matchups, This is a tough matchup.

331
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: You think about what the Eagles did to the Steelers

332
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: when they came into town, this secondary, which we thought

333
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 1: was gonna be a weakness. They were jumping those routes

334
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: against the show been they were all over We got you.

335
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: You know, here's the thing in Philadelphia. Everyone's talking about

336
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz and that's the whole thing. But Jim Schwartz

337
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: is a defensive coordinator who could win Coordinator of the Year.

338
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 1: I think. I mean, it's the defense as much as

339
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 1: the offense in that city right now. He's gonna make

340
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: some team very unhappy. As a head coach, I would

341
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: I think more of these times. I know you want

342
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 1: to become a head coach, but he has gone everywhere

343
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,719
Speaker 1: he goes as a defensive coordinator. It is an absolute, victorious,

344
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: lights out performance. This all the time. It's a different

345
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: skill set between coordinating and being a head totally different.

346
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 1: Maybe why keep trying to do that job over and

347
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,919
Speaker 1: over you Maybe guys like him and Josh McDaniels are

348
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: meant to be. Course. I think he was a good

349
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: I think he was an underrated head coach. I know

350
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: he had some really he had some moments. He's a

351
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: little chesty. He had some moments that he could learn from.

352
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: But if you look at the team that he took over,

353
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: the worst team in the lad he played pretty well.

354
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 1: He was a little chest It's a complete indictment there.

355
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: Every time the Eagles. I know what he's talking about too, Greg,

356
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 1: I just haven't. I don't hear the mud a lot.

357
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 1: He's peak sucking out there. Every every time the Eagles playing.

358
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: We talked about this. Every time Carson Wentz registers another

359
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: w it's an extra l for the Browns, and every

360
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 1: time the Eagles win at all, it's another black mark

361
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 1: on Chip Kelly. What's happening in Eagles in Eagles Land

362
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: right now is a complete regime change. They couldn't be

363
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 1: more of an A plus market and in these rookie

364
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: quarterbacks they've been, They've benefited from the right schedules to start,

365
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 1: they really have. It's not taking away from them, and

366
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: it's continuing here. Why should we think the Lions are

367
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: going to be the ones to make wins look bad?

368
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: There isn't. These are the Eagles were talking about. By

369
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 1: the way, there could be a course correction in the

370
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,919
Speaker 1: near future. That's just And to Greg's point, Wentz is

371
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 1: demolishing teams. He isn't just skate getting by them by

372
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 1: a point in a bunch of other stuff happening, Eagles

373
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: in a route. Let's move on. You'll see, Greg, I'll

374
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 1: show you, I'll show all your is suddenly a Lions

375
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 1: fan down like I just like the lines better than

376
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: everybody else. I don't know what moving on. Those Chicago Bears,

377
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: who beat the Lions last week now travel to Indianapolis,

378
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 1: UH to face the Cults, a Bears team that will

379
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 1: be without Kevin White, who, for the second straight years

380
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 1: on I R with a leg injury. I think this

381
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 1: is a lower leg injury. So Kevin White, who was

382
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: actually showing some signs of progress and growth against the lines,

383
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: now is out of the picture. Is this one of

384
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: those things where he could come back? Or is Kevin

385
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: White history. They made it sound like he has a

386
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 1: chance to return late in this season, but there's no

387
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: way to These guys cannot catch a break. Yeah, so

388
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: this this would be a battle between two and one

389
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: one of three teams West. And you know what that

390
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: that means. This is a injured animal game. You're not

391
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: gonna the injured animal game. Drop. No, do we have

392
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 1: a No, we don't have anything, And testing have been

393
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 1: improvisational skills here do you have been asked by multiple

394
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 1: listeners to never play that again. But somewhere in the

395
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: ether may exist. Okay, I want to make of making

396
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: a statement. I I answered to no man including Chris Wesley.

397
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: You are not beholding to anyone that if we want to.

398
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 1: By the way, that was not an injured dog. It

399
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: sounded like it was a puppy barking. And you know

400
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: I got I got West, who's you know speaking about

401
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 1: sound effect last week for people that haven't heard Bell

402
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: and go work with Sarah McLaughlin, And they got people like,

403
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: how could you do that? I love dogs. I'm not

404
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,159
Speaker 1: gonna there's not gonna be sound drop of an actual

405
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 1: injured dog. It just sounded bad. You sound put it

406
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: my heartstrings? Dan, All right, here we go West. Let's

407
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: Harris and Cults fans getting. We're getting a deep dive

408
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 1: on this cult. All right, Next game Titans? It no West,

409
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: tell us about Bears the Cults, two teams that desperately

410
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 1: need to win. I didn't get up early to watch

411
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 1: the London game last week, so I watched the Colts

412
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 1: last night and I came away. I rate the Andrew

413
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 1: luck is under fire. He starts this game with rookies

414
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: at center, right guard, right tackle, five at least five

415
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 1: or six drops. Let me let me quiz you guys

416
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 1: on this who is the set get most targeted player

417
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:08,360
Speaker 1: on the Indianapolis Colt Jack Doylene. It's undersized, undrafted, unable

418
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: to make defenders missed. Rookie running back Josh Ferguson the

419
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 1: second most targets on this team. Not effectively, No, not

420
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: effective at all. And there's this idea that Andrew Luck

421
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: has weapons at receiver. He's got t Y Hilton and

422
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: that's about it. He's got Philip door Set taking the leap.

423
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 1: He's good for like one huge catchy game. So I'm

424
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: past to get sacks sixty times. They haven't had a

425
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: hundred yard rusher since two thousand twelve. He scores twenty

426
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 1: seven points, which in most years is the top five

427
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: offense if you scored twenty seven points, and he's under

428
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: fire all week. Andrew Luck is the furthest thing from

429
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: a problem on this team. People are giving Andrew Luck

430
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 1: crap for being one of the worst. I think there's

431
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 1: a disaster situation for him. It's not his fault. Sometimes

432
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 1: people you want to just give a pass two players

433
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: out of reputation. You watch these games, and West is

434
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: a hundred percent right. Andrew Luck for these four games

435
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 1: deserves the past. Didn't play great in Denver. The other

436
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 1: three games. He is trying to lift up allows the organization. Well,

437
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,959
Speaker 1: and we've said this a thousand times. Outside of Andrew Luk,

438
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: this is a poorly put together team. And you know,

439
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: I heard from someone who's in the London game that

440
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: people upstairs in the in the Cults booth were not

441
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: happy with what was happening during that game, and they

442
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: have a reason to be. One guy was promptly dismissed

443
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 1: from the team, Antonio Crimarty, who had two or three penalties. Yeah,

444
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: see how Moore has gone because he couldn't cover at linebacker.

445
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: I think there's signs that this defense is getting to

446
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: be actually an NFL defense. Vante Davis is back and

447
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,360
Speaker 1: not by far the best defensive player they stopped to run.

448
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: It's it's a lot of the offensive talent around and

449
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 1: but I think this is one of the biggest games

450
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: that sounds weird in the Pagano, Griggs and era because

451
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: you lose at home to the Bears, one of the

452
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: worst teams in the league. After first of all, you

453
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: asked the league not to have a bye week after

454
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: you're coming home from London. See how that plays out,

455
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,919
Speaker 1: and you're one in four with a home loss. To

456
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: the Bears after Jim Mercy just signed these two guys

457
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 1: to two thousand and nineteen. If you read the articles

458
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis and the fan base there, they're all they're

459
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: all going nuts because they're thinking, this is the same

460
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 1: Pagano nonsense we've seen for four years. Why did you

461
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:21,959
Speaker 1: let him convince you to keep the job? You you you

462
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 1: were gonna get rid of him this whole years, your

463
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 1: general manager, both of them. Here's uh some stats to

464
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,199
Speaker 1: back up some of the dreadful uh line play in

465
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: front of Andrew Luck. He's been sacked fifteen times. It's

466
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 1: last in the NFL. He's been hit thirty thirty one times,

467
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: It's thirty one in the league. They're averaging just eighty

468
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: eight yards on the on the ground, that's twenty four

469
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,439
Speaker 1: and they only have five rushes of ten plus yards,

470
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: which is tied for last. I mean, there's just nothing

471
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: cooking on this offense. And you have, uh, you know,

472
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback and he's just stuck on a terrible team.

473
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 1: This is even worse we talked about. Is he the

474
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 1: new Dan Marino. At least Dan Reno had some uh

475
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 1: real tools around him and he could run up to score.

476
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,679
Speaker 1: This guy's just taken a pound. It's a depressing team

477
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 1: because they could have done so much more with what

478
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: they had over the last couple of years. I want

479
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: to do one positive thing about the Colts this week.

480
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 1: The inconvenient truth. Frank Gore can pass Jim Brown on

481
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 1: the all time rushing leaders list. He passed Marshall Falk

482
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: and Marcus Allen last week. He's going up to number nine.

483
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 1: He's going to Canton. Do you hear that Mark Frank

484
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: Gore better than Jim Brown. That's I hate to be

485
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 1: smirched your favorite player, but I know you and Mark

486
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: like the way he's running. He's part of the problem.

487
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 1: There are no big plays coming from that running back position.

488
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,679
Speaker 1: He to me, he is not part of the problem.

489
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: He's a role player who they have failed by putting

490
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: him giving him too many carries. That's what I thought

491
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: he was the final piece of the puzzle. He's been

492
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: good for ten carries a week. He's averaging over four

493
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: and four point three yards for carry. He's running well

494
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 1: in the first half. They they're counting on him way

495
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 1: too much. Right, There's just the run game is dead

496
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 1: on arrival. In general, it has been for years in Indianapolis.

497
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: Another reason that Andrew Luck is struggling stch out. This

498
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: isn't a gimme game for them. I can't. Let's move

499
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 1: on another matchup of one and three teams. The Tennessee Tytoons,

500
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 1: who came in Reel OH on the Around the NFL

501
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:14,679
Speaker 1: Power Poll UH this week, travel now to Miami to

502
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,199
Speaker 1: face the Dolphins, a game that could be interesting to

503
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 1: see how the weather plays roll in this hurricane Matthew

504
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: rolling up the coast, just rolled through Haiti unfortunately coming

505
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 1: up the shoreline. Greg made sure to say Dan be

506
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: prepared to talk about the hurricane before the show today.

507
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: Here I am talking about the storm. Bro. Have you

508
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 1: seen the visuals in this hurricane? High end visual radar

509
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: looks like an evil clown. Right by the time people

510
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: listen to this podcast, you know, the hurricane will be

511
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: rolling through. It will have happened. But who knows if

512
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 1: if it's as bad as as some people say, this

513
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 1: game could be delayed or canceled. They are battening down

514
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: the hatches in Tybee Island right now. Well, my parents

515
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:56,120
Speaker 1: live in South Carolina and just had to flee to Georgia.

516
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: They canceled Dolphins. I don't know if they canceled practice,

517
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: but they sent home all. Um. So, Mark Cessilo, let's

518
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 1: work under the assumption that this game is played and

519
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: everybody's okay, uh, who is a better team here? Who's

520
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:13,959
Speaker 1: the better team? That's that's a tough one. I mean

521
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 1: I I think the Tennessee does one thing well where

522
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: the Dolphins don't, and that is Tennessee. Whether we like

523
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: their offense or not. They can't throw, They have no

524
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 1: passing game, but they are moving the ball in the ground.

525
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: They are third in the carry third in the league

526
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: in yards per carrying. The Dolphins have ranked run defense.

527
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: It's a good matchup if it's one of those, this

528
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 1: is the kind of game Tennessee wants to get in. Um.

529
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,919
Speaker 1: There are very one dimensional offense, but they you know,

530
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: after the Dolphins, you've got the Browns, the Colts, the Jags,

531
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: and the Chargers. For Tennessee, this is a chance to

532
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: get right. You gotta start by taking down this Dolphins

533
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: team right here. And if they if if Mike Belarkey's

534
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 1: Titans want to be what they talked about, this is

535
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: a this is a good opportunity to showcase that I

536
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 1: still don't know if I trust them very much, though

537
00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna be what they talked about.

538
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: I think that Chip his salem. I mean, the running

539
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 1: the ball terribly. The running backs look good. They feel

540
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: like the offensive line has a chance to be good.

541
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,439
Speaker 1: They could do that, couldn't they Mariotta act. When I

542
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 1: watched that, I thought he showed a little more last week.

543
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 1: He's got a long way to come from. At least

544
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: it felt like a little bit of an improvement from

545
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 1: from Mariota in the offense last week. And then on

546
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: the Dolphins side, guys, you have, uh Miami coming off

547
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,360
Speaker 1: a terrible Thursday night performance, had some extra time now

548
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: four straight road home games to save their season. West,

549
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: what are you seeing from Miami? Right? It's not often

550
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: that you scratch your head over a coach's decision like

551
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: Adam Gaze playing four different running backs with no rhyme

552
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: or reason for what roll they're in, and it's it's

553
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: even more rare for the coach to come out and say, yeah,

554
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: that's bad coaching, my mistake. I guess I won't play

555
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 1: all four running back, but no rhymer reason we're gonna

556
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: start and I think Arian Foster's at least returned to

557
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: individual drills, so maybe he's close to coming back. Yeah,

558
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: I don't think that he's gonna be back. Not to

559
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: mention one of those four running back to Isaiah Pde,

560
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: it's just like, hey, we're gonna keep our rotation four

561
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: at a time. Like why it was a bizarre thing

562
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 1: by Adam Gaze. You know, when I watched his postgame

563
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: press conference, I know you don't want to get too

564
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: much into that, but I thought, I don't know, is

565
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: this guy a head coach? Like well, I will say

566
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: the players like him a lot. They've talked about that,

567
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: they really dig him in. Something I will say this

568
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: is quarterback is Ryan Tannehill. He This is the lowest

569
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: moment I think right now for anyone that's ever wanted

570
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill to to play well because this marriage with

571
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: games like your right, this is bad. The offensive line

572
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: is bad. And I only said that about Gaze because

573
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: he I think if he learned something from his rookie see,

574
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: I don't think he'll want to take these ups and

575
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 1: downs as much as he has been. He was destroyed

576
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 1: and distraught and just kind of flying like all over

577
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: the place after this game, and you you could see

578
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 1: how much I'll give him time on that. That's what

579
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 1: you learn. Well, that's some move on, guys. Talk about

580
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: a inter conference battle. You're talking about an NFC team

581
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: playing in an I never really understood the point of

582
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 1: even saying that ever, because I don't think everyone but

583
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: no one but the world doesn't know what's right inter intrigue?

584
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: Then how about cross conference? How about this conference game?

585
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: If non conference and conference intra would be within the division? Yeah, okay,

586
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: so inter conference matchup between the Washington Redskins and Baltimore

587
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: Ravens very close in fact, the why don't you call

588
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: at the Battle of Chesapeake Bay? Sure? Why not? That works?

589
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: The week five research notes tell me that these teams

590
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: are just forty miles apart. Maron, how about that for geography? Uh?

591
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 1: And here's where these two teams are right now, at

592
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: the quarter pole. Don't tell me otherwise. How do we

593
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 1: get by without that? And iugget you just dropped on us.

594
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 1: That's the most surprising use of my ron we've had

595
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: on the podcast. The Redskins have one two in a row.

596
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: After a dreadful owen to start um, they beat the

597
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns last week, and then you have the Ravens

598
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: who are three and oh, and then they get snipped

599
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: by the Oakland Raiders for their first loss of the season.

600
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 1: Um West, your thoughts on this matchup, which will not

601
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: include Justin for Set by the way, who was released

602
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: earlier this week. First of all, let me just admire

603
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 1: you're sticking it to the horse racing industry with quarter

604
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: pool in a game in Baltimore horse racing country. Nicely done. Yes,

605
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: this is my favorite last up, top baby quarter pool.

606
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 1: Go on. I don't think we gave the Ravens enough

607
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: respect in the power pool. And here's why they're three

608
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 1: and one. I think they were thirteen and I had

609
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 1: them fifth. I was gonna ask you why there are

610
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: three and one. And we have this sense that they're

611
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 1: lucky to be three and one because they had close

612
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 1: games and they haven't played real tough competition yet. But

613
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: there are reasons to believe this team is getting stronger.

614
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: Speaking of coaches admitting they made a mistake in the backfield,

615
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: Justin Forest is no longer gonna weigh down this running game.

616
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: Terence West ran great last week, got stronger throughout the

617
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: game Kenneth Dixon, who might be their best three down

618
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: running back skill set wise, is healthy now and coming back.

619
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: He's supposed to play this week, make his debut. And

620
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 1: I think when you see Steve Smith play, he's playing

621
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 1: like two thousand fifteen Steve Smith. Brashot Pereman can get

622
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: better throughout the season and add an element they haven't

623
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 1: had there in Baltimore. I think there are reasons to

624
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: believe this offense is just gonna get better throughout this

625
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: And if you watch what happened not just last week,

626
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 1: but in previous weeks where Cleveland ran right through Washington's defense.

627
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 1: To the point where I have watched probably hundreds of

628
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: Browns games, I have never seen a day where Isaiah

629
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 1: Krawl in that case, but any running back just waltz

630
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: past the first level of defense and had a prairie

631
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: land of open space. Marine looked awesome against them. It's

632
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 1: like it's one week after the next. Terence West, who's

633
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: got fresh legs, who looks at completely different players this year.

634
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: This is a great chance for him. West has on

635
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 1: to something with this. Ravens are fun to watch the watch.

636
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: I'm kind of I'm with him on this can I

637
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: just say, though, I'm just you know, just being fair. Here.

638
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 1: The Oakland Raiders, a team of a t L nominee,

639
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:14,959
Speaker 1: knock off your Ravens. And then you're telling me how

640
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: the Raiders do nothing for you, But they just beat

641
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 1: the Ravens, who they were lucky to beat a team

642
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: that have gained the day. It's luck, Okay. I see

643
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: how we have the Raiders at eleven and the Ravens

644
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 1: at twelve and the Raiders at eleven in our power poll,

645
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: So what what what? What's the same In terms of

646
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 1: them being fun to watch? I agree with because they're

647
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: a team that has a lot of different parts that

648
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: they're just bringing together, like you mentioned, that should get better.

649
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: They've got Mike Wallace as a role player being effective.

650
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: I mean, this is what Mike Wallace should be. They

651
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 1: actually have Mike Wallace in the slot. Sometimes they're getting creative.

652
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: They got Kyle youth check the fullback out wide. I'm

653
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,479
Speaker 1: surprised to see Wallace making third down conversion. Steve Smith,

654
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 1: Dennis Pitt. Dennis Pitt has a great comeback. Still got

655
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: an intriguing rookie like Chris Moore who gets deep and

656
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 1: and their defense is similar. I'm a little worried they

657
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: don't have much of a pass rush, but it's similar

658
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: in that they have a lot of different pieces I

659
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 1: think coming together and they should get better. I think

660
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 1: it's bad news for the rest of the a f

661
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 1: C North already has been interesting. Moving on, gentlemen, let's

662
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:22,280
Speaker 1: talk about the Houston Texans, now traveling to face another

663
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: team of a TL nominee, the Minnesota Vikings. Undefeated on

664
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: a short week after a Monday night win against the

665
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: New York Giants, the Texans a little sneaky three and one.

666
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: You don't hear a lot of like people excited about

667
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: the Texans, but their first the first quarter of their

668
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:40,359
Speaker 1: season couldn't have gone much better. But at the same time,

669
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: Mark there there's some reason to be concerned about Houston

670
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 1: despite their record. I'm not overly impressed with brock Os

671
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 1: Swidler at all. I think that there were times when

672
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 1: he was playing better last season than he has this year.

673
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 1: They've turned the ball over too many times. Lamar Miller

674
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:58,400
Speaker 1: what I think, zero rushing touchdowns and has been really

675
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: not as spectacular as I thought he would be. And

676
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,359
Speaker 1: outside of Will Fuller, who is one of the most

677
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: fascinating first year players in the entire league. I don't

678
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,359
Speaker 1: think that offense is is is a great operation at

679
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 1: this point there near the bottom of the league and

680
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 1: points scored per game, and brock Ostwallder gives you one

681
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 1: or two plays a game that absolutely killed them. You

682
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 1: got you spent a lot of money on Brock Oswallder,

683
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller. You went and you got a wide receiver

684
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:24,360
Speaker 1: in the draft that's very talented. But a quarter of

685
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,320
Speaker 1: the way through the season you're ense and the problem

686
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 1: Football Outsiders has them dead last and offense this season

687
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:32,320
Speaker 1: they have them as the twenty nine best team in

688
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,840
Speaker 1: the entire league, partly because they've had bad special teams too.

689
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 1: And if you're a bad offense or an offense trying

690
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 1: to figure things out, the last place you want to

691
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:43,360
Speaker 1: go is too. We need a nickname for this Minnesota

692
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: Dome or something. Let's come up with the nickname the

693
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 1: house technically a dome by the way, the house of

694
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 1: beautiful light flowing through glass. That's not where you want.

695
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: Speaking of improvising, Nona is animal related, like you tweet

696
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 1: about that and it's half your tweet. You gotta think

697
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: and character. This is your domain at the greenhouse fields

698
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: in I mean for a team that's you know, almost

699
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: essentially always described in purple. I like that. You know,

700
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,320
Speaker 1: when they host the Packers in the greenhouse in Minnesota,

701
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:19,720
Speaker 1: that's not exactly intimidating the greenhouse. We might be growing

702
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:24,399
Speaker 1: some plants and flowers here. Uh what about this game though?

703
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 1: The Vikings, they seem well said, they look like a

704
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: very tough team to beat at home. The only thing

705
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:32,839
Speaker 1: I will say that they've had two home games. Both

706
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 1: have been in prime time with everybody just going insane,

707
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 1: and it's a different type of vibe west in a

708
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 1: game during the day. Do you think that could be

709
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 1: a little different. They might not be as intimidating in

710
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: their building. Well, I mean, that's one way to think

711
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 1: about it. I mean, I'm I'm being dead serious. I

712
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 1: think you talk about a hard place to go into

713
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 1: in prime time and win. I think it's gonna be

714
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 1: tough in the daytime too. Why not, it's gonna be loud.

715
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,839
Speaker 1: You're talking about a top three defense against Like Greg said,

716
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 1: football outsiders were stranked offense. It's a mismatch in Minnesota's favor,

717
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 1: and if you look at the offense for the Vikings too,

718
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,280
Speaker 1: I think you can see that they're better without Adrian Peterson.

719
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 1: That sounds controversial, but he's a rather limited player in

720
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 1: the fact that he doesn't run out of the shotgun,

721
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 1: doesn't run pass routes, doesn't pass protect very well. It

722
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: allows you to do more things without him. You can

723
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 1: keep defenses guessing. Right. I understand that the Texans are

724
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 1: three and one, I not truly I really look at

725
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,479
Speaker 1: them as a three and one team. Uh, this would

726
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 1: be a huge upset to me if Houston went into

727
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 1: Minnesota day or night in and took this one down,

728
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 1: the one that was happening. The one thing Texans fans

729
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 1: could look to is that the style of these two

730
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 1: teams play lends itself to keeping it close to the vest.

731
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:46,319
Speaker 1: And you know that the Vikings don't get a big

732
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:49,439
Speaker 1: special teams played there two defense led teams as well

733
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 1: as Sam Bradford's played this year. They're not scoring a

734
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 1: lot of points. That's not who they are. Daniel Hunter

735
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 1: is an absolute fascination to watch. On defense, They've got

736
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 1: they keep bringing new players and find new guys. There

737
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 1: is not a weak spot on that defense. And I

738
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:04,919
Speaker 1: don't know how Houston gets points in there. Here's here's

739
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,919
Speaker 1: a weird thing about Houston's offense to last year. Uh.

740
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 1: It was a great stat about um uh new New

741
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 1: Hopkins that he had you know, fifty and under receiving

742
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 1: yards and over a hundred catches and he did it

743
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 1: with what four different starting quarterbacks. Uh. This year he

744
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 1: has the stability of a quarterback, but his numbers aren't there.

745
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 1: And you look at oswhile his figures. Five of his

746
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 1: six picks this season he's targeting Hopkins. So there's something

747
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:30,799
Speaker 1: off there with their Campi ship. That's something they gotta

748
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 1: get figured out, because Hopkins makes that offense. Go. Let's

749
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 1: move on, guys, let's talk about um my New York Jets.

750
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 1: Speaking of buzz saws. This is a bad situation for

751
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 1: the Jets and now UH in almost a must win

752
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 1: game when you look at the playoff picture right now. Uh.

753
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 1: They travel to Pittsburgh at one in three to face

754
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 1: the Steelers. UH team that looked almost unbeatable against an

755
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 1: overmatch Kansas City Chiefs team. Uh. The Steelers now have

756
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 1: back Levan Bell as we know, so they're healthy. They're

757
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 1: at home. The Jets are scrambling. Ryan Fitzpatrick has thrown

758
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 1: h nine interceptions in two weeks. He's been a total disaster. Uh,

759
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: this seems greg like a really tough sell to convince

760
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 1: myself that the Jets are gonna come away with a

761
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 1: win that gets their season back on track. It is.

762
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 1: It is a tough sell. I don't know what to

763
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 1: say about the Jets to make you feel better other

764
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 1: than you know, I saw their schedule the rest of

765
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 1: the way after Pittsburgh was actually rated by Football Outsiders

766
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: the easiest in the NFL. That's what I've been saying.

767
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 1: They had to get three and three through six games

768
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,279
Speaker 1: and then they could get things going. But but they're

769
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 1: not pulling some far bad news. Their defense. Really, I

770
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 1: don't know what to think about their defense. For instance, football,

771
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 1: there's no we're quoting them a lot this week. They

772
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: have the Jets of the worst team in the league.

773
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 1: We have the Browns thirty one, the Jets thirty two,

774
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 1: and that's partly because they have the Jets defense ran.

775
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,359
Speaker 1: They've struggled to get off the field and they've given

776
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 1: up it's the turnovers to come on, Well, what's the

777
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,880
Speaker 1: Jets liability on defense? The secondary? They give up big place. Yes,

778
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: what's the Steelers strength on offense? They attack relentlessly down

779
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 1: the field. Ben Roethlisberger goes progressions. His progressions are touchdown,

780
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 1: first down, checkdown, more than any quarterback in the league.

781
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 1: He's going touchdown first. And let me continue to pile

782
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 1: on against the Jets here through Reeves, who we have

783
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 1: a lot of indications is not Reeves anymore. Also has

784
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 1: a bad hamstring. So you take the best player that

785
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:27,319
Speaker 1: they have in their secondary that may not be one

786
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 1: of the best in the league anymore, and you slow

787
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,439
Speaker 1: them down with an injury. There is a lot working

788
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 1: against him. That's the thing that's a good point. The

789
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick interceptions. That's gotten all the headlines, and he's been bad,

790
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:38,840
Speaker 1: there's no doubt about it. But the thing that's really

791
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,360
Speaker 1: surprised me about this team this year is how the

792
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:44,919
Speaker 1: defense has not been good, especially the back end, which

793
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:47,279
Speaker 1: is getting burned over and over and over again for

794
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 1: big plays by some no names, not just a j

795
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 1: Green types guys that have been and they don't they

796
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 1: don't have that kind of shows up in terms of

797
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 1: the thing, I don't know where the pastor says they

798
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 1: had seven sacks in week one, and they've gone back

799
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 1: to being uh m, I A on the rush since

800
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 1: I agree that the Fitzpatrick thing could be over valued

801
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 1: versus other stuff. But eight of his interceptions are coming

802
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:11,279
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, and you want to talk about

803
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 1: putting your defense in bad positions, it's turning the ball over.

804
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 1: I know there was, because a lot of those interceptions

805
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter have not been ones where the

806
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 1: game was even in play. Was just he's forcing it down.

807
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:25,800
Speaker 1: I'm just saying it's the thing is we're getting the

808
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick that we were scared of all off season.

809
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 1: He's again. I'm not downplaying Ryan Fitzpatrick. I'm just saying

810
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 1: that is only part of the reason why they've struggled

811
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 1: so badly. I think we might have also underplayed the

812
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: return of Levan Bell, or we just didn't talk about enough.

813
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 1: Because D'Angelo Williams has been playing so well, you think, okay,

814
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 1: well they are already we're running the ball. Well. They

815
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 1: had a guy who was probably one of the best

816
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 1: five or six running backs in the league. But Levian

817
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 1: Bell to me is the best running back in the

818
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 1: league until proven otherwise, and he showed it again in

819
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 1: his first game back. I think David Johnson's great too,

820
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:00,360
Speaker 1: but to me, you gotta take the throw own and

821
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: Levy on Bella's showed nothing. The difference in terms of

822
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 1: defenses having to prepare for the best running back and

823
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 1: most versatile running back and the best wide receiver on

824
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 1: the same team, Suddenly it gets really tough to plan

825
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 1: your defense. You always talk about double teams, and those

826
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,359
Speaker 1: are two of the best in the league, and they're

827
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 1: on a team with Ben Roethlisberger throwing the ball to them,

828
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 1: so that it just makes it so tough to defend.

829
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: Brothlisberger is the most fun quarterback in the league to watch.

830
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 1: He just relentlessly attacks down the field, not just with

831
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 1: deep throws, but with accurate deep throws. Do we think

832
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 1: that Eagles game was just a weird throwout scenario? Yeah?

833
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 1: I think every team gets one of those, don't you.

834
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 1: That's a mulligan. I think you could maybe hit their

835
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 1: defense up for some big points some weeks, but usually

836
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 1: the Steelers are at least getting to shootout. Let's move on, folks,

837
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:50,879
Speaker 1: and here is to me the game of the week,

838
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 1: the four pm Fox game. I would think that this

839
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: will be Troy and it's gonna be Joey Bucks. Uh.

840
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 1: Aaron Andrews on the side, I call him Joey big Bucks. Yeah,

841
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:06,400
Speaker 1: Aaron Andrews on the sideline and she's all like, Hey,

842
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 1: here's what's going on down here, back to the booth.

843
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:16,760
Speaker 1: That's what a sideline reporter does. That's what they do. Anyway.

844
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 1: They Falcons are three in one, and they have the

845
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 1: best offense in football. Oh here's a real one, greg

846
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:27,400
Speaker 1: my ro own first in total offense and scoring sixth

847
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 1: and rushing first and passing tied for third in uh

848
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 1: least term turnovers Atlanta doing everything right on offense. But

849
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: now now the true test. They traveled to Denver to

850
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:41,400
Speaker 1: face the defending Super Bowl champions, undefeated and their defense,

851
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:45,719
Speaker 1: Chris Westling looking better than ever. Broncos defense is even

852
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:48,840
Speaker 1: better than last year. I think Denver fans might feel

853
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 1: a pang of nostalgia for their two thousand thirteen offense

854
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 1: because this Falcons offense reminiscent of that one, the two

855
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 1: thousand seven Patriots and the two thousand Rams. That is

856
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 1: high praise. As far as statistically they are right there

857
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 1: with those offenses. They aren't a place to break the

858
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 1: record for most yards in a season. But do you

859
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:11,720
Speaker 1: do you think they have the personnel to come close

860
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 1: to any of those records. Well, here's the thing. The

861
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 1: Broncos have not allowed a hundred a hundred passer rating

862
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 1: in twenty nine games. In the last seven games against

863
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:24,719
Speaker 1: basically a murderer's row of quarterbacks Big Ben Andrew Luck,

864
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:29,400
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton, Cam Newton twice, Tom Brady and Jamis Winston,

865
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 1: fifty nine passer rating with a three to eight touchdown

866
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:36,240
Speaker 1: to interception ratio three touchdowns against in those seven games

867
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 1: they've allowed through the air. I think that you have

868
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 1: to give the edge to the Broncos. Absolutely, I think

869
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 1: so too. I mean, it's also it's in Denver, an

870
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:47,440
Speaker 1: impossible place to operate. But you know, the Falcons are

871
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 1: sitting at number eight in our power poll and that

872
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:52,799
Speaker 1: would have been an unthinkable thing three weeks ago. And

873
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:55,319
Speaker 1: it's because of what we're seeing every week. No matter

874
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 1: where they go, what they do, they are dolling up

875
00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 1: big plays and points. Matt Ryan is playing an m

876
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 1: VP level and you know, for all the stuff on

877
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan, I have never seen him as an m

878
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:08,719
Speaker 1: v P player ever before, not in any season. Well,

879
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 1: this game features one and two in my m VP rankings,

880
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 1: which you can find at NFL dot Von Miller number

881
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:23,800
Speaker 1: one in the race. I totally can buy that because

882
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,880
Speaker 1: he is the he finished his games, he wins games.

883
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 1: The first two weeks of the year for them, and

884
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:31,799
Speaker 1: the Falcons have been great, and they they beat a

885
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 1: good defense last week. But sometimes the schedule makers just

886
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 1: set you up as a football fan, and they get

887
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:39,799
Speaker 1: the Broncos this week and the Seahawks next week, and

888
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 1: that's that's what you want to see. And I and

889
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:43,960
Speaker 1: I kind of doubt the Falcons are gonna win either

890
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,239
Speaker 1: one of those games because they're not balanced. Their defense

891
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:49,799
Speaker 1: is worse than it was last year, that they are

892
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 1: one of the worst defenses in the league after actually

893
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:54,400
Speaker 1: being in the middle of the pack last week. And

894
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:56,239
Speaker 1: to me, Denver is a much more balanced team. We

895
00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 1: haven't even mentioned. We don't know who they're starting quarterbacks

896
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:01,400
Speaker 1: is gonna be. But I think they can find enough offense,

897
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 1: whether it's Paxiston Lynch or Trevorson. I think they could

898
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 1: find more offense with Paxiston Lynch potentially, is it Is

899
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 1: it possible with the Falcons and offense, Like just like

900
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 1: you said, Mark three weeks ago, you know, it was

901
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:13,959
Speaker 1: unthinkable that we'd be talking about him this way. Three

902
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 1: weeks from now, we'll be like, oh, everybody got that

903
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 1: last year about how good this offense is. I know,

904
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:22,839
Speaker 1: I know that they're a better, deeper offense, but it's

905
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 1: not like this is a totally different team than last year,

906
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 1: so they could definitely regress to the mean. Well, I

907
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 1: think Mohamed Sanu, I mean, all right, and for people

908
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 1: that are watching this having no idea what's happening here,

909
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 1: it's it's a math burn on me after I showed

910
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:40,919
Speaker 1: incorrect math knowledge on a later podcast earlier in the week.

911
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 1: A later podcast earlier in the week, I don't know

912
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 1: what to say. I mean, I think that the addition

913
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:51,720
Speaker 1: of Mohammed Sanu is been huge here, and yet said

914
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 1: Julio Jones, last week is shattering records has not done

915
00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 1: not just it's that you've you're mixing in Taylor Gabriel

916
00:46:59,920 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 1: on Aldrick Robinson, which provides a speed element. You've got

917
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 1: Austin Hooper at tight end, who's a good athlete. You've

918
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:08,279
Speaker 1: got six or seven options now where last year you

919
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:10,759
Speaker 1: have won. But to me, when those guys are producing

920
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:14,360
Speaker 1: that's just a sign that the offensive line and Kyle

921
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:18,240
Speaker 1: Shanahan and Matt Ryan and especially those two running backs

922
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:21,399
Speaker 1: taking up so much attention are producing because those guys

923
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:23,960
Speaker 1: are are journeyman. Well, there are role players, and they're

924
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 1: being used in the right role. Absolutely, But that to

925
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 1: me shows you what a strong tea. If you're strong

926
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:32,000
Speaker 1: enough to to showcase those guys, then that means the running.

927
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:33,839
Speaker 1: The running game to me is well. And Alex Mack

928
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:36,120
Speaker 1: is quietly one of the best free agent signings around

929
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 1: the league. He's a center, so no one talks about it,

930
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 1: but he did that in Cleveland, quietly one of the

931
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 1: toughest pivots in the NFL. And it's it's happening again

932
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 1: in Atlanta. Are you okay with that? Are you happy

933
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 1: that he's succeeding elsewhere? Yes, I it's I you know,

934
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:51,399
Speaker 1: Alex Mack deserves it. I mean, he he's a huge

935
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:53,759
Speaker 1: part of what's happening there. I think that the whole

936
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:55,839
Speaker 1: line changes with him in there. Could be you don't

937
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 1: like succeed elsewhere, Guys, look at it's so all that,

938
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:02,319
Speaker 1: you mean, I can't troll all that before we move on.

939
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 1: Anybody want to hang some Zeppelin on the falcons this week.

940
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 1: Just now you notice these um onions are sitting on

941
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 1: top of the grown got a student versus mentor game? Here,

942
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:17,439
Speaker 1: Gary Kubia can call Shanahan, and Shanahan's got the hotter

943
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 1: hand right now he does. And and after rewatching Paxton Lynch,

944
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:24,800
Speaker 1: I did think there was you know, and he wasn't.

945
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 1: He didn't have time to prepare. But there was a

946
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 1: downgrade going from Simeon. I mean, he did look like

947
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:30,879
Speaker 1: a rookie that that you would expect to see. He's

948
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:32,360
Speaker 1: got the raw talent. And maybe if you have a

949
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 1: week to get him ready for this game and you've

950
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 1: got an easy opponent, he'll look better. But I think

951
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:38,200
Speaker 1: it is a downgrade if you go to the rook

952
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 1: a tutor verse mentor game west, But where does that

953
00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:44,879
Speaker 1: follow on your wounded animals? The mentor has darker hair

954
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 1: than the tutor, Well, he's got darker hair than the

955
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:50,759
Speaker 1: entire is a jet stream, so it happens when you

956
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 1: put shoe polosh on your head. Let's move on. I

957
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:55,319
Speaker 1: wasn't saying that a Coach of the Year right now,

958
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:59,719
Speaker 1: that was an interesting wormhole to travel down. Good job, uh,

959
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:04,320
Speaker 1: Next up, let's talk about the Cincinnati bent Oh interconference guys,

960
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:11,840
Speaker 1: non conference, pretty confident. A cross conference to conference between

961
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:15,279
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati ben Gals at two and two against the

962
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:18,799
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. Everybody all excited about the Dallas Cowboys. This

963
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:25,600
Speaker 1: is the four late game on CBS. Jim Nance, he

964
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:29,719
Speaker 1: got some sims. Hey, g M, I really like this

965
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,880
Speaker 1: matchup between Andy Dalton. Yeah, I can't get enough of

966
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 1: the folksy color man. Uh so, this is a very

967
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:40,960
Speaker 1: good matchup here. Um Dak Prescott looking tremendous. Chris Westling

968
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:44,640
Speaker 1: this season. Still no interceptions, but it's gonna change against

969
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:48,319
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati d isn't it. I don't think so. I

970
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:50,279
Speaker 1: like what I see with Dak Prescott. I see a

971
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 1: little Russell Wilson in him. His elusiveness, his intelligence, his poise.

972
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:57,200
Speaker 1: I know Greg doesn't want to use the word poise,

973
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 1: but Dascott has done that and he's hard to take down.

974
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:05,400
Speaker 1: He's very elusive. Ezekiel Elliott getting stronger as the season

975
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:07,799
Speaker 1: goes along. I loved what I saw him last week.

976
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:10,279
Speaker 1: If he gets twenty carries against the Bengals, will become

977
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:13,920
Speaker 1: the first in history twenty carries in each of his

978
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:16,840
Speaker 1: team's first five games. I don't have a problem with

979
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 1: that happening. I think that will happen. I should say,

980
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:22,200
Speaker 1: barring a total, you know we're gonna go. I don't

981
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 1: live say Elliot's gonna get twenty. I don't think it's

982
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:25,879
Speaker 1: going out on a land. That's what I'm saying. Well,

983
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying in a game. Get crazy about that,

984
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:33,160
Speaker 1: I'm not. Can we agree to stop with all the

985
00:50:33,239 --> 00:50:37,040
Speaker 1: nonsense about Dak Prescott keeping Tony Romo at Bay? Oh? Yeah,

986
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:38,920
Speaker 1: that that. I don't think the team's thinking that. So

987
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 1: why should we be alright? I don't know. Well, let's

988
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:44,120
Speaker 1: see him play play some other teams they were we

989
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:46,839
Speaker 1: all we all think he's playing great, and they're three

990
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 1: and one. If there's seven and one, there's not gonna

991
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:51,799
Speaker 1: be any discussion internally about this. It's not like Dak

992
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:54,880
Speaker 1: Prescott's gonna prance away in free agency. He's the future

993
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:57,719
Speaker 1: at the position, but there's someone else. It's best left

994
00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 1: for narrative podcast, which this one is not. Tony Romo

995
00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 1: allows your offense to do so many different things. Let's

996
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:05,920
Speaker 1: think about that when he is seven and one, three

997
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:09,360
Speaker 1: and one, let's see him against a better than average defense,

998
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:11,879
Speaker 1: because it hasn't happened yet, and that that's not taking

999
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:14,520
Speaker 1: anything away. It's incredible how well he's playing against any

1000
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:17,120
Speaker 1: NFL defense, But the best team they've played is the Giants,

1001
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:19,880
Speaker 1: and the next three or some of the three worst defense. Well,

1002
00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:22,680
Speaker 1: I am looking forward to this game for both teams

1003
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:25,440
Speaker 1: because I don't know what I have yet. In the Bengals,

1004
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 1: it was a very encouraging performance you have against Miami.

1005
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 1: They're they're they're all playing for me. This is my

1006
00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 1: league and my entertain the great and powerful. And I

1007
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:43,120
Speaker 1: don't really know what I have with this Cowboys team either.

1008
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:46,120
Speaker 1: They've played some and you know what you have, You're gonna,

1009
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:48,680
Speaker 1: they're gonna, they're gonna tell me. Here's what Gregg doesn't

1010
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 1: Why do you keep pointing behind me by These are

1011
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:54,360
Speaker 1: the team logos are right there, logos? You know for

1012
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:57,000
Speaker 1: the people watching, you're turning your head away from the camera.

1013
00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:02,239
Speaker 1: The segment telegenion, the benefit. Yeah, here's what you don't have.

1014
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:04,440
Speaker 1: For the Bengals, you don't have Tyler Eiffort because he

1015
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:06,719
Speaker 1: had a setback this week. According to rap Sheet not

1016
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 1: Angle related either and you might not have Dez Bryant

1017
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:13,399
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys. He didn't practice on Wednesday. You know, Greg,

1018
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:15,200
Speaker 1: I get what you're saying about. They haven't played a

1019
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:18,759
Speaker 1: titanic opponent to Dallas Cowboys. But any rookie quarterback that's

1020
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:21,319
Speaker 1: not turning the ball over at all at this point

1021
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:24,359
Speaker 1: in the season, there's more than just the opponent. Course.

1022
00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 1: I I have spent a lot of minutes on this

1023
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 1: podcast talking up Doc Prescott. All I'm saying is I

1024
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:31,240
Speaker 1: want to say see how this is. Greg is constantly

1025
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:35,279
Speaker 1: just Greg's bringing it back to Greg. Let him play

1026
00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:37,920
Speaker 1: a real team. Let's see him. They're all real teams.

1027
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 1: Let's pick this game, Mark, pick and score. Who's in it?

1028
00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:46,400
Speaker 1: I'm kidding. I'm going Dallas, Baby, this is in Dallas.

1029
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:49,080
Speaker 1: They're gonna win. I can't believe I'm doing this for

1030
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:51,239
Speaker 1: the second week in a row. I'm picking my hometown

1031
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:56,399
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals. Interesting. Uh oh, this is a good one.

1032
00:52:56,480 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 1: This is a tough one, dall Is it hone? Not

1033
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:03,800
Speaker 1: the most dominant the Bees that's going on the points?

1034
00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:09,160
Speaker 1: What if we could see your thoughts? Uh? Three Bengals? Yeah?

1035
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:11,880
Speaker 1: I like the Bengals. Oh, I got a hero picking.

1036
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:15,480
Speaker 1: It's home team, hero pick. They're gonna miss the home

1037
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:19,880
Speaker 1: crowd they had in San Francisco. Sounds like you know

1038
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:22,000
Speaker 1: what you have in the Bengals to say it's not

1039
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:26,120
Speaker 1: allow that would be if I'm correct. All right, let's

1040
00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:29,920
Speaker 1: move on, folks, and uh we'll talk about the hometown

1041
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:33,799
Speaker 1: team here in uh Los Angeles. The Rams on a

1042
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:39,520
Speaker 1: random and uh, ultimately one might guess misleading three game

1043
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:42,160
Speaker 1: winning streak to move to three and one at the

1044
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:44,359
Speaker 1: top to NFC West. And I was like, oh, give

1045
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:47,080
Speaker 1: the Rams from respect, all right, bro, what a couple

1046
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:48,960
Speaker 1: more games and then I'm gonna get in. Otherwise I'm

1047
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:51,000
Speaker 1: gonna still view this as a blip on the season.

1048
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:54,560
Speaker 1: Fair stand And here come the Bills. And you want

1049
00:53:54,560 --> 00:53:56,799
Speaker 1: to talk about teams that turn their fortunes around. The

1050
00:53:56,840 --> 00:54:00,440
Speaker 1: Bills were owing too, with a brutal schedule ahead against

1051
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:02,800
Speaker 1: the Cardinals and against the Patriots. Then they go and

1052
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:05,040
Speaker 1: win both those games. Everybody's trying to figure out, now

1053
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:06,960
Speaker 1: what's going on with the Bills, and they're getting a

1054
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:09,480
Speaker 1: little healthy. Shack Lawson's back on the on the grid.

1055
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:12,600
Speaker 1: Now there their first round pick, uh, the Bills at

1056
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:17,400
Speaker 1: Rams uh and here's the thing, though, I am a

1057
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:21,480
Speaker 1: certified expert. I have the documentation on my wall in

1058
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 1: my study. Uh, and I'm gonna tell you something it

1059
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:31,080
Speaker 1: Uh the re Expert Academy based in uh Florigen Park.

1060
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:34,400
Speaker 1: They haven't moved their offices yet. Uh. This is one

1061
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:37,359
Speaker 1: of those classic Rex got you pumped up, You got

1062
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:40,880
Speaker 1: your two big ws. He's feeling confident. Maybe you know,

1063
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:43,399
Speaker 1: hit the wings too hard with his brother over the week.

1064
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:46,479
Speaker 1: Then it studies hard for the upcoming opponent. The team

1065
00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:49,640
Speaker 1: comes out flat, and I gotta lock it up that

1066
00:54:49,719 --> 00:54:53,880
Speaker 1: the Bills are gonna lose this game. After two amazing wins,

1067
00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:56,239
Speaker 1: the Bills are gonna show up flat and get beat

1068
00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:58,920
Speaker 1: by a Rams team that isn't even that good flying

1069
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:02,480
Speaker 1: across the country. It doesn't help. I mean a lot

1070
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:05,440
Speaker 1: of Rams fans heard what you said in terms of

1071
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:08,440
Speaker 1: a classic Rex Ryan game, and they probably thought, well,

1072
00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:11,160
Speaker 1: this is a classic Jeff Fisher game right when they

1073
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:16,640
Speaker 1: get you excited. This Rams offense is counting on case

1074
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:21,000
Speaker 1: Keenum to make creative crazy plays each week or else

1075
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:24,040
Speaker 1: they don't really have much of an offense that's tough

1076
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:26,200
Speaker 1: to count on each week. If if, if you could

1077
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:29,799
Speaker 1: put money on that this that NFL game was going

1078
00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:32,799
Speaker 1: to be decided by some bone headed penalty. This would

1079
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:34,880
Speaker 1: be the game to do it. Well, you know what

1080
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 1: I mean, like these two and Buffalo, you know, dating

1081
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:41,720
Speaker 1: under Rex Ryan, it's been one of the most undisciplined teams,

1082
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 1: penalty heavy squads out there, and Jeff Fisher has ranked

1083
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:48,479
Speaker 1: I think in the bottom five and penalties for many

1084
00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:51,000
Speaker 1: straight years. And that's when I watched that Cardinals games.

1085
00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:53,160
Speaker 1: I still I'm a little worried about this Rams team

1086
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:56,520
Speaker 1: because it's the same formula that it's always been. Dumb penalties,

1087
00:55:56,840 --> 00:56:00,279
Speaker 1: bad challenges, ugly the game up. That's what Rex Ryan

1088
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:02,360
Speaker 1: wants to do and you hope you win and that

1089
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:05,479
Speaker 1: usually doesn't work. Over the course of sixteen games, five

1090
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:10,960
Speaker 1: to two final, it sounds realistic. Where are we? Let

1091
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:14,840
Speaker 1: me ask you a question, guys, where are we now?

1092
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:20,880
Speaker 1: Thirty two games? I'm that's sure. How many starts into

1093
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:24,440
Speaker 1: the Tyrod Taylor era are we? What do we think

1094
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:27,560
Speaker 1: about Tyrod Taylor? H here's my thoughts. He changes from

1095
00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:31,800
Speaker 1: week to week. He does. There's no like set offense

1096
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:35,080
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. They don't have a system. They let Tyrod

1097
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:37,800
Speaker 1: Taylor get loose on the edges, throw the ball outside

1098
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:39,319
Speaker 1: the numbers. They don't use the middle of the field

1099
00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:41,919
Speaker 1: at all except for the running game. And I don't

1100
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:44,000
Speaker 1: know if it speaks so highly of a quarterback when

1101
00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:47,160
Speaker 1: they're running. And this could be just all Rex, but

1102
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:51,400
Speaker 1: they run so much wildcat well, and that Rex loves that.

1103
00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:54,000
Speaker 1: Rex Rex, who does the time seem to be trapped

1104
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:57,280
Speaker 1: in a decade ago, uh, you know, on offense at least,

1105
00:56:57,880 --> 00:57:02,400
Speaker 1: absolutely likes these mobile quarterbacks that he struggled to prepare for,

1106
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:04,520
Speaker 1: so he thinks doing the same thing to other teams

1107
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:07,680
Speaker 1: is a win. And if the Bills totally bottomed out,

1108
00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:09,680
Speaker 1: which looks like they won't potentially at this point, I

1109
00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:11,799
Speaker 1: would not have a problem with that team looking for

1110
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:14,520
Speaker 1: a different quarterback to at least compete with Tyrod Taylor.

1111
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 1: I don't think this is your guy forever, but he's

1112
00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:18,600
Speaker 1: better option they've had for years. I think when they

1113
00:57:18,680 --> 00:57:23,680
Speaker 1: changed coordinators, they didn't want Taylor just dropping back and

1114
00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:26,200
Speaker 1: surveying the field quite as much because that was not

1115
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:27,960
Speaker 1: work in the first few weeks. Well in the past.

1116
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:31,439
Speaker 1: Coordinator favored at times last season e J Manuel, We're

1117
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:35,040
Speaker 1: so used to you know, kind of admiring scripted quarterbacks

1118
00:57:35,080 --> 00:57:38,480
Speaker 1: because that's how you get consistency in the NFL. There's

1119
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:40,640
Speaker 1: a lot of things about Taylor to admire to. He's

1120
00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:42,440
Speaker 1: the best. I think he's the best running quarterback in

1121
00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:45,320
Speaker 1: the NFL. I think Russell Wilson I think in terms

1122
00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:49,760
Speaker 1: of pure scrambling running skills, maybe not throwing the ball

1123
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:52,040
Speaker 1: after you do it. I think it's part of being

1124
00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:54,320
Speaker 1: a successful running quarterback is that you don't get hurt

1125
00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:56,720
Speaker 1: doing it, which he's not. He's not been able to

1126
00:57:56,720 --> 00:58:00,840
Speaker 1: stay healthy. Here's what separates Russell Wilson about Taylor. Has

1127
00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:04,200
Speaker 1: he had major injury problems, missed a couple of games

1128
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:08,240
Speaker 1: last games last year, Taylor might be quicker. Russell Wilson's

1129
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 1: decision making as a scrambler is so much better. Well,

1130
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 1: we know that Russell Wilson is among those group of

1131
00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:17,240
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that are preparing unlike anyone else. He's one of

1132
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:20,200
Speaker 1: the most you know, obsessed football guys out there. And

1133
00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:23,440
Speaker 1: not the tailor isn't but Russell Wilson the overall package

1134
00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:26,040
Speaker 1: and and he's gonna be scrambling in this game because

1135
00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:28,200
Speaker 1: the Rams have the best player in the league in

1136
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:30,360
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald, who I think is an m VP candidates

1137
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:32,600
Speaker 1: the best player in the league I think so far.

1138
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:35,960
Speaker 1: If I had to choose an MV but I thought

1139
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:37,480
Speaker 1: that was a good choice, they would be in my

1140
00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:39,840
Speaker 1: top three. It's not a big difference. I think he's

1141
00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:42,560
Speaker 1: been great and the Rams bring so much pressure. I

1142
00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:45,080
Speaker 1: mean they were pressuring Carson Palmer right into the last

1143
00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:47,800
Speaker 1: play of the game. Laste, I mean Andrews as Donald

1144
00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:49,600
Speaker 1: does have the most QB hits in the league so

1145
00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:51,640
Speaker 1: far in first two weeks in the year. The Rams,

1146
00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:54,000
Speaker 1: and they've done this to it to further extended weeks

1147
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 1: three and four, are forcing quarterbacks to pass quicker than

1148
00:58:57,080 --> 00:59:00,200
Speaker 1: any other team in the league at times, and that's pressure. Sure,

1149
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:01,960
Speaker 1: that's going to be an issue for Tyrod Taylor. One

1150
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:04,680
Speaker 1: last thing I want to see if Rex and this

1151
00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:07,919
Speaker 1: linebacker corps, which Zach Brown I know we talked about

1152
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:12,440
Speaker 1: him Sunday night, was absolutely phenomenal in that game. Are

1153
00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:14,560
Speaker 1: they going to approach the Rams offense a little bit

1154
00:59:14,560 --> 00:59:17,640
Speaker 1: different than other teams have where they concentrate so much

1155
00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:20,240
Speaker 1: on shutting down Todd Gurley that you allow Case Keenum

1156
00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:23,480
Speaker 1: all these open windows and the Rams have taken advantage

1157
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:26,400
Speaker 1: of that for three straight weeks. Let's move on, guys,

1158
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:30,240
Speaker 1: and now it's time to talk about intrus state battle

1159
00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:37,920
Speaker 1: within the same you know zone if you will. It's

1160
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:41,480
Speaker 1: our state. Yes, it is the San Diego Chargers taking

1161
00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:45,480
Speaker 1: on the Oakland Raiders. The Raiders, it says, according to

1162
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:48,480
Speaker 1: us our research guide, are four and oh. But I

1163
00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:52,800
Speaker 1: don't think that's accurate, is it? That's not accurate? All

1164
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:54,640
Speaker 1: of that work they've done for you over the years,

1165
00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:58,080
Speaker 1: and you drive the bus fight over them. I mean

1166
00:59:58,120 --> 01:00:00,640
Speaker 1: accuracy is important. The Raiders are not four oh, they

1167
01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:03,520
Speaker 1: are three and one, I believe. Uh. So they host

1168
01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:07,360
Speaker 1: the San Diego Chargers at one in three easily. Now

1169
01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:09,400
Speaker 1: the Chargers could be four and are you saying the

1170
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:12,000
Speaker 1: Raiders are not what their record says they are, well,

1171
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:14,960
Speaker 1: literally on this page. But they are three and one,

1172
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:17,320
Speaker 1: and I stand by them as a three and one team.

1173
01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:19,240
Speaker 1: I think they're a good team and a fun team.

1174
01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:21,080
Speaker 1: That's why they're my team of a t no nominee,

1175
01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:24,080
Speaker 1: nice try West. Uh. The Chargers, though, are one in

1176
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:27,480
Speaker 1: three and they're getting their guts ripped out every week.

1177
01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:31,760
Speaker 1: What do we think? Right? I think these are two

1178
01:00:32,240 --> 01:00:37,520
Speaker 1: diametrically opposed teams, because the Raiders have totally changed from

1179
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:40,760
Speaker 1: the Al Davis years into a team that just doesn't

1180
01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:44,000
Speaker 1: beat themselves. They don't turn the ball over, they don't

1181
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:47,200
Speaker 1: allow sacks, they don't particularly go deep down the field.

1182
01:00:47,400 --> 01:00:51,640
Speaker 1: They play very conservative, whereas the Chargers go out of

1183
01:00:51,680 --> 01:00:54,280
Speaker 1: their way to beat themselves. They can't find a lead

1184
01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:57,320
Speaker 1: that they can't lose. I think they expect to lose.

1185
01:00:57,360 --> 01:00:59,200
Speaker 1: You want to hear something crazy there One in two

1186
01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:02,000
Speaker 1: this year, when they've led by thirteen points in the

1187
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:05,320
Speaker 1: fourth quarter one and two, that's three games in four weeks.

1188
01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:08,320
Speaker 1: The rest of the NFL in that situation is twenty

1189
01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:11,439
Speaker 1: eight and oh, so I would say what I'm saying

1190
01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:13,760
Speaker 1: is that's not going to keep happening over and over.

1191
01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:15,880
Speaker 1: I don't know what that's true, but it did for

1192
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:18,160
Speaker 1: the whole second half of last season and now through

1193
01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:21,200
Speaker 1: fourth That's that the problem there is that goes right

1194
01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:23,960
Speaker 1: back to the coaching staff along. It's not just the players.

1195
01:01:24,040 --> 01:01:26,920
Speaker 1: I mean, something is breaking down on a wild general

1196
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:30,280
Speaker 1: level for the Chargers. Well, Mike McCoy is not good

1197
01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:34,560
Speaker 1: at head coaching probably right. I am not making that statement.

1198
01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:36,880
Speaker 1: I just think that there would be because I there's

1199
01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:39,280
Speaker 1: more than just all that, but Mike McCoy has definitely

1200
01:01:39,320 --> 01:01:41,120
Speaker 1: got to be someone that is going to be in

1201
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:43,400
Speaker 1: hot seat material if they keep this up. Just say,

1202
01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:46,800
Speaker 1: I think Mike McCoy sucks. I don't think. Listen you

1203
01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:50,720
Speaker 1: why don't you say that we have live satellite in

1204
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:55,400
Speaker 1: San Diego. Oh no, I don't know why a whimpering

1205
01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:57,840
Speaker 1: man doesn't bother me, but a whimpering dog doesn't. If

1206
01:01:57,920 --> 01:02:00,880
Speaker 1: it bothers me. With the whimbering man, this sound effect

1207
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:04,520
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be bothering. Uh, Mike McCoy that he

1208
01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:08,960
Speaker 1: doesn't have might not have Jason Varette partially torn a

1209
01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:11,920
Speaker 1: c L cornerback that not too many people will come

1210
01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:14,000
Speaker 1: back from a partially torn a c L. Right, Well,

1211
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:16,520
Speaker 1: he's he's played through it, I believe for the last

1212
01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:19,439
Speaker 1: two weeks without anyone really knowing. They knew he was hurt,

1213
01:02:19,560 --> 01:02:22,000
Speaker 1: but he was on the field. Not overly effective, but

1214
01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:24,560
Speaker 1: that's a killer loss because he's one of the best

1215
01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:26,760
Speaker 1: cornerbacks in league in this defense. For all the talent

1216
01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:29,000
Speaker 1: they have, I think is underperformed. Mark, can you break

1217
01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:33,160
Speaker 1: down the physiological um breakdown of the partial terror of

1218
01:02:33,200 --> 01:02:34,480
Speaker 1: the A c l Is he able to cut? What

1219
01:02:34,560 --> 01:02:36,200
Speaker 1: kind of moves can he make as a football player? No,

1220
01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:41,280
Speaker 1: to Greg's point about the Raiders playing conservatively, Derek Carr

1221
01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:44,200
Speaker 1: should be getting a lot more credit. He leads the

1222
01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:47,720
Speaker 1: NFL and red zoom percentage lowest sack percentage and going

1223
01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:51,240
Speaker 1: back to last year, lowest interception percentage. He doesn't make mistakes,

1224
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:54,800
Speaker 1: he doesn't he gets rid of the ball. They protect

1225
01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:56,800
Speaker 1: him pretty well. You know, they didn't really move the

1226
01:02:56,800 --> 01:03:00,040
Speaker 1: ball well against Baltimore, But that's that's the type of

1227
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:02,200
Speaker 1: games you can win. If you just don't beat yourselves

1228
01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:04,560
Speaker 1: and don't make mistakes and don't turn the ball over,

1229
01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:06,840
Speaker 1: and you have guys like Michael Crabter, you can make

1230
01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:09,240
Speaker 1: some place for you and you have the best punting

1231
01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:12,520
Speaker 1: performance I've maybe ever seen in my life by Markette King.

1232
01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:15,320
Speaker 1: Not often a punter makes this show, but Markette King

1233
01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:17,400
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks is on a run I've

1234
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:19,440
Speaker 1: barely ever seen out of a punter. We're in the

1235
01:03:19,480 --> 01:03:23,439
Speaker 1: Golden age hunting. You got Pat McAfee, Johnny Heck, yeah,

1236
01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:26,120
Speaker 1: we got some great that's the golden age you want

1237
01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:28,200
Speaker 1: to be in. About Marquette, First of all, the Raiders

1238
01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:30,760
Speaker 1: have gone from Shane Leckard and Mark Um to Markette King,

1239
01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:33,680
Speaker 1: which is pretty don't forget about Ray Guy, Ray Guy

1240
01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:36,040
Speaker 1: back in the day, and now you have Marquette King,

1241
01:03:36,040 --> 01:03:38,840
Speaker 1: who who pins teams deep and then in Baltimore did

1242
01:03:38,840 --> 01:03:41,520
Speaker 1: the Ray Lewis dance after pinning a team. So the

1243
01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:45,720
Speaker 1: Cults go from Manning to luck, the Packers go from

1244
01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:48,439
Speaker 1: you know, far too rogers, and the the Raiders get

1245
01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:53,120
Speaker 1: to awesome punters. But one thing about car we you know,

1246
01:03:53,200 --> 01:03:54,960
Speaker 1: we we were hot and cold on him as a

1247
01:03:54,960 --> 01:03:58,560
Speaker 1: podcast in his first season, and you know, different coaching staff.

1248
01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:01,000
Speaker 1: At this point, you're seeing what work we've talked about

1249
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:03,600
Speaker 1: on this show, all the little things that Derek Carr

1250
01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:05,760
Speaker 1: is asked to do. He's better at now than he

1251
01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:08,560
Speaker 1: was last season and better than he was the first season.

1252
01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:10,680
Speaker 1: You know what you're getting every week, which you don't

1253
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:13,280
Speaker 1: you don't think about for young quarterbacks, like he's the

1254
01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:15,040
Speaker 1: same guy every week. And by the way, a second

1255
01:04:15,120 --> 01:04:17,959
Speaker 1: round pick Reggie Mackenzie wants again, that is a huge

1256
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:20,320
Speaker 1: hit to get a quarterback at this level that isn't

1257
01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:23,960
Speaker 1: like a gimme first round choice. That said, yes, the

1258
01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:30,240
Speaker 1: San Diego Chargers traveling to Oakland are my lock of

1259
01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:37,480
Speaker 1: the week. Oh, why, that's surprising, just rolling the dice,

1260
01:04:38,360 --> 01:04:40,840
Speaker 1: got it, got it wildly wrong last week, got it

1261
01:04:40,840 --> 01:04:45,640
Speaker 1: wrong the week before. News team of Oh, I'm reading

1262
01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:47,920
Speaker 1: between the line, you're the kissing cousins. West's like. I

1263
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:49,800
Speaker 1: turn on the Ravens and all I can think about

1264
01:04:49,840 --> 01:04:52,160
Speaker 1: is how wonderful they are when they placed the Raiders.

1265
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:53,880
Speaker 1: And now we got a lock of the week owner.

1266
01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:56,800
Speaker 1: So there's multiple teams that you're overly sensitive about that

1267
01:04:56,880 --> 01:05:01,439
Speaker 1: I need to finesse and that maneuver. It's a thing.

1268
01:05:01,520 --> 01:05:03,640
Speaker 1: It has nothing to do with Dan at all. And

1269
01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:06,040
Speaker 1: by the way, you should be happy. I continually get

1270
01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:09,040
Speaker 1: these wrong that you should be flying. I went home

1271
01:05:09,280 --> 01:05:12,120
Speaker 1: last night and looked inside my deep, dark, black heart, Dan,

1272
01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:15,000
Speaker 1: and it's softened a little bit. I feel better about

1273
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:17,600
Speaker 1: the Vikings and the Raiders. I'm opening my mind on

1274
01:05:17,640 --> 01:05:21,400
Speaker 1: these two. Okay, development that actually is I find that

1275
01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:31,120
Speaker 1: attractive West. It's breaking news right now, breaking news. Cindy

1276
01:05:31,240 --> 01:05:36,080
Speaker 1: scrambles behind the glass, breaking news. West's heart a lighter

1277
01:05:36,120 --> 01:05:40,000
Speaker 1: shade than you expected. Yeah, well just leave. That's a

1278
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:43,880
Speaker 1: good like Cliffhanger. I like that. Okay, So Mark, you're

1279
01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:46,880
Speaker 1: locking up the Chargers. Quite a news bulleting there. We've

1280
01:05:46,920 --> 01:05:48,680
Speaker 1: gotten through most of these teams and we haven't a

1281
01:05:48,800 --> 01:05:52,040
Speaker 1: lock from Greg yet. I locked up the Thursday night.

1282
01:05:53,720 --> 01:05:56,400
Speaker 1: That's true. Greg will be the only person in America

1283
01:05:56,440 --> 01:06:03,120
Speaker 1: watching that game. There. Uh, let's move on now and

1284
01:06:03,160 --> 01:06:07,840
Speaker 1: talk about our next game. The New York Giants disappointing

1285
01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:11,400
Speaker 1: showing in Minnesota UM beat by the Vikings and looked

1286
01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:14,040
Speaker 1: like the inferior team. Now they travel to Green Bay

1287
01:06:14,080 --> 01:06:15,920
Speaker 1: to face the Packers. The Packers coming off of by

1288
01:06:16,320 --> 01:06:18,640
Speaker 1: uh their two and one they had if you remember now,

1289
01:06:18,640 --> 01:06:21,640
Speaker 1: it feels like a long time ago, an explosive, explosive

1290
01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:25,880
Speaker 1: first half against the Lions UH in their last game,

1291
01:06:25,960 --> 01:06:28,320
Speaker 1: and then kind of withered in the second half. So

1292
01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:30,200
Speaker 1: just when you were about to say, oh, the Packers

1293
01:06:30,200 --> 01:06:32,520
Speaker 1: are totally back in, they kind of lay an egg

1294
01:06:32,560 --> 01:06:35,080
Speaker 1: in the second half. So there's still some doubt about

1295
01:06:35,160 --> 01:06:38,880
Speaker 1: what's going on with their offense. And UM, let me

1296
01:06:38,920 --> 01:06:41,080
Speaker 1: just start here on this game with Odell Beckham. This

1297
01:06:41,160 --> 01:06:44,960
Speaker 1: is something that came out on Tuesday. UM said, can

1298
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:46,760
Speaker 1: I have a little company in it for this Odell

1299
01:06:46,760 --> 01:06:53,680
Speaker 1: Beckham quote? This too? Yes, ESPN Odell Beckham Jr. Football

1300
01:06:53,720 --> 01:06:57,720
Speaker 1: is my sanctuary. It's where I go to escape, It's

1301
01:06:57,720 --> 01:07:05,960
Speaker 1: where I'm most happy. Not having fun anymore. Oh, what's

1302
01:07:05,960 --> 01:07:07,720
Speaker 1: going on with this guy's head? I don't know what's

1303
01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:11,000
Speaker 1: going on? Hey, Odell come back to us. Reminds me

1304
01:07:11,120 --> 01:07:13,920
Speaker 1: so much of Randy Moss on the field and the

1305
01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:18,240
Speaker 1: way he speaks in the media treats him. Sports writers

1306
01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:21,800
Speaker 1: overreact to Odell Beckham like nobody has seen since Randy Moss.

1307
01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:24,600
Speaker 1: Randy Moss could say things like, Oh, I don't have

1308
01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:26,800
Speaker 1: to answer to you. I'm not trying. In sports writers

1309
01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:28,440
Speaker 1: would just lose their minds. What do you make you're

1310
01:07:28,440 --> 01:07:31,480
Speaker 1: not trying? Of course he's trying. He's Randy Moss. Odell

1311
01:07:31,520 --> 01:07:33,520
Speaker 1: Beckham is the same way he does anything, and sports

1312
01:07:33,560 --> 01:07:36,920
Speaker 1: writers just lose their white guy minds. We haven't. We

1313
01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:40,400
Speaker 1: all struggled with loving our jobs that people would kill for,

1314
01:07:40,920 --> 01:07:43,080
Speaker 1: just like we think, you know, people should kill to

1315
01:07:43,120 --> 01:07:47,080
Speaker 1: be Odell Beckham, and we we've expressed those frustrations. He's

1316
01:07:47,360 --> 01:07:49,680
Speaker 1: he's a young guy. You don't think so, you guys

1317
01:07:49,720 --> 01:07:51,440
Speaker 1: letting this guy off the hook. I mean, he's a

1318
01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:55,720
Speaker 1: young he's he's immature, he's all those things, But why

1319
01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:58,400
Speaker 1: overreact to wait a second, it's not overreacting, but you

1320
01:07:58,440 --> 01:07:59,920
Speaker 1: don't have to just brush it under the rug. But

1321
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:02,120
Speaker 1: because you love him as a talent, he is a

1322
01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:04,440
Speaker 1: legitimate distraction for this team right now. You see it

1323
01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:08,040
Speaker 1: on the field and its production down to these things.

1324
01:08:09,320 --> 01:08:12,880
Speaker 1: That's human. We've all I'm saying people are distractions sometimes

1325
01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:15,160
Speaker 1: in their job when they lose their lover, especially twenty

1326
01:08:15,200 --> 01:08:18,200
Speaker 1: four year olds. I'm willing because I do think he

1327
01:08:18,240 --> 01:08:20,120
Speaker 1: works hard and he wants to be great that I

1328
01:08:20,160 --> 01:08:21,760
Speaker 1: think it's going to be a blip and he gets over.

1329
01:08:21,920 --> 01:08:25,400
Speaker 1: I think we see some similar stuff, not pertaining directly

1330
01:08:25,400 --> 01:08:27,840
Speaker 1: with that quote in but from Dez Bryant, from other

1331
01:08:27,880 --> 01:08:30,800
Speaker 1: guys that the competitive nature is off the charts. But

1332
01:08:31,520 --> 01:08:34,040
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham, I'll go back to the age thing over

1333
01:08:34,040 --> 01:08:36,680
Speaker 1: and over. He's learning how to handle what is superstarted

1334
01:08:36,720 --> 01:08:39,120
Speaker 1: that came to him out of nowhere, comes off like

1335
01:08:39,160 --> 01:08:41,719
Speaker 1: a spoiled breath. Yeah. I mean he drives, He's driven

1336
01:08:41,760 --> 01:08:43,760
Speaker 1: us all nuts at times. So I'm not letting him

1337
01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:45,800
Speaker 1: off the hook at all. But you know, when it

1338
01:08:45,840 --> 01:08:48,799
Speaker 1: comes to being honest about I'm not sure I'm enjoying

1339
01:08:48,840 --> 01:08:51,280
Speaker 1: things right now. It comes after weeks of being land

1340
01:08:51,320 --> 01:08:54,120
Speaker 1: based it and you know, taken down by the media

1341
01:08:54,200 --> 01:08:57,320
Speaker 1: over and over as well. So maybe he's tiring of that.

1342
01:08:57,520 --> 01:08:59,879
Speaker 1: I don't think he's tiring of being a football players.

1343
01:09:00,280 --> 01:09:01,920
Speaker 1: He's talking about football, I think he must be talking

1344
01:09:01,960 --> 01:09:03,920
Speaker 1: about what's outside the Randy Muss is a good guy

1345
01:09:03,960 --> 01:09:05,760
Speaker 1: to bring up too, because he was another guy who

1346
01:09:05,760 --> 01:09:08,040
Speaker 1: once in a generation talent that I think burned some

1347
01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:09,960
Speaker 1: of his prime years because he wasn't able to kind

1348
01:09:09,960 --> 01:09:11,720
Speaker 1: of get his act together all the time. And I

1349
01:09:11,760 --> 01:09:13,840
Speaker 1: think giant fans, if he asked, giant fans, not just

1350
01:09:13,920 --> 01:09:16,360
Speaker 1: the media, giant fans are a little concerned about where

1351
01:09:16,400 --> 01:09:19,400
Speaker 1: this guy's at his his mental estate right now. Maybe

1352
01:09:19,400 --> 01:09:20,960
Speaker 1: it is a blimp. Maybe he comes back and he's

1353
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:23,880
Speaker 1: finding it a week four issue. By by November, nobody

1354
01:09:23,920 --> 01:09:26,120
Speaker 1: will even be talking about. Maybe it could depend on

1355
01:09:26,120 --> 01:09:28,240
Speaker 1: the opponent that he plays. I mean, I think Xavier

1356
01:09:28,320 --> 01:09:30,720
Speaker 1: Rhodes is one guy and Josh Norman is one guy.

1357
01:09:30,760 --> 01:09:33,439
Speaker 1: I don't I think that the Packers have a good secondary.

1358
01:09:33,439 --> 01:09:34,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if they have the guy to get

1359
01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:38,000
Speaker 1: as physical with Odell Beckham to shut them down. They're

1360
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:39,720
Speaker 1: also a team that gave up what a hundred and

1361
01:09:39,760 --> 01:09:42,519
Speaker 1: eighty plus yards to Stefon Diggs and two hundred plus

1362
01:09:42,520 --> 01:09:45,240
Speaker 1: to Marvin Jones. So this one thing about this Giants

1363
01:09:45,240 --> 01:09:48,120
Speaker 1: team is doing some next next gen stat stuff. And

1364
01:09:48,560 --> 01:09:51,559
Speaker 1: out of two hundred and fifty three plays they run

1365
01:09:51,600 --> 01:09:54,639
Speaker 1: off offense, two hundred and forty three snaps have been

1366
01:09:54,720 --> 01:09:58,920
Speaker 1: three wide receiver sets. There's no other team anywhere close

1367
01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:01,240
Speaker 1: to that. And so, and if the book is out

1368
01:10:01,240 --> 01:10:03,360
Speaker 1: on Odell Beckham, go get in his face and get

1369
01:10:03,400 --> 01:10:05,360
Speaker 1: in his mind before the game. If that's what people

1370
01:10:05,360 --> 01:10:07,400
Speaker 1: are saying about him. The Giants are showing you what

1371
01:10:07,400 --> 01:10:09,360
Speaker 1: they're gonna do on offense. You got to try to

1372
01:10:09,360 --> 01:10:11,839
Speaker 1: find a way to line up and stop it. It's

1373
01:10:11,880 --> 01:10:15,880
Speaker 1: interesting opposing that to the Packers, who also were criticized

1374
01:10:15,920 --> 01:10:18,639
Speaker 1: for not really mixing up their personnel and changing things.

1375
01:10:18,760 --> 01:10:21,000
Speaker 1: And I'm really curious to see how they look on

1376
01:10:21,040 --> 01:10:23,679
Speaker 1: offense in this game, because if you watch that Detroit game,

1377
01:10:23,680 --> 01:10:25,599
Speaker 1: they were a little more creative. You saw a lot

1378
01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:28,439
Speaker 1: of Trevor Davis at wide receiver. You know, you hear

1379
01:10:28,479 --> 01:10:31,200
Speaker 1: all about millions of wide receivers in Green Bay. You

1380
01:10:31,240 --> 01:10:33,360
Speaker 1: never heard about Trevor Davis he was in there, Tie

1381
01:10:33,400 --> 01:10:36,760
Speaker 1: Montgomery in the backfield as a running back, Mike McCarthy

1382
01:10:36,840 --> 01:10:38,719
Speaker 1: kind of mixing it up, and man, they had guys

1383
01:10:38,760 --> 01:10:41,760
Speaker 1: open that game. So coming off a bye against an

1384
01:10:41,760 --> 01:10:44,559
Speaker 1: Okay Giants defense, I want to see, are we gonna

1385
01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:46,840
Speaker 1: get that Packers offense again? I wouldn't be surprised if

1386
01:10:46,880 --> 01:10:49,040
Speaker 1: we do. And and on on on they go, We're

1387
01:10:49,040 --> 01:10:51,320
Speaker 1: gonna get that Packers offense again. They're gonna jump out

1388
01:10:51,360 --> 01:10:56,680
Speaker 1: to a big lead, and then look it up and

1389
01:10:56,760 --> 01:10:59,320
Speaker 1: the Giants come back attempt. Odell Beckham goes over a

1390
01:10:59,360 --> 01:11:05,240
Speaker 1: two Mark und w whoa, which, by the way, doesn't

1391
01:11:05,240 --> 01:11:07,640
Speaker 1: mean everything solid with Odell Beckham. If he has a

1392
01:11:07,640 --> 01:11:12,280
Speaker 1: big production day, it's because he's fantastically talented. I'm just

1393
01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:14,120
Speaker 1: you know, I think I was crying on the sideline

1394
01:11:14,160 --> 01:11:16,519
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. Yeah, I just I gotta

1395
01:11:16,600 --> 01:11:18,559
Speaker 1: I gotta keep my eyes on the situation here. Person.

1396
01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:20,960
Speaker 1: I think for us when we cover the crusty white

1397
01:11:20,960 --> 01:11:23,120
Speaker 1: guy stuff, it's it's just like what's going on. We're

1398
01:11:24,040 --> 01:11:26,120
Speaker 1: seven all day long too, And if you if you're

1399
01:11:26,120 --> 01:11:27,599
Speaker 1: a fan, you can tune it out if you want.

1400
01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:29,760
Speaker 1: It's in our newsroom it's in our faces, it's in

1401
01:11:29,760 --> 01:11:32,680
Speaker 1: our years all day long, and anyone is exhausted with

1402
01:11:32,800 --> 01:11:35,519
Speaker 1: him in fifty five other athletes. To be honest, I

1403
01:11:35,560 --> 01:11:37,320
Speaker 1: don't have a big problem with that. That's your that's

1404
01:11:37,360 --> 01:11:40,200
Speaker 1: your that's up to you. That's all talk show fodder stuff.

1405
01:11:40,360 --> 01:11:44,000
Speaker 1: And let me quote, let me quote, damnit check. Odell

1406
01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:46,400
Speaker 1: Beckham is still one of the best football players, settled

1407
01:11:46,400 --> 01:11:51,599
Speaker 1: down weirdos. But why all nonsense about whether he's hurting

1408
01:11:51,600 --> 01:11:55,519
Speaker 1: the Giants? Okay, in in early October of two thousand sixteen,

1409
01:11:55,800 --> 01:11:57,640
Speaker 1: he's hurting the Giants for a week or two, But

1410
01:11:57,680 --> 01:12:00,640
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that's so not uh, and he's not.

1411
01:12:00,720 --> 01:12:02,920
Speaker 1: He's not hurting them as much as their right tackle

1412
01:12:03,040 --> 01:12:05,200
Speaker 1: or their right side of their offensive line, or they're

1413
01:12:05,240 --> 01:12:07,479
Speaker 1: running game or a million other things. So to to

1414
01:12:07,560 --> 01:12:09,400
Speaker 1: focus that, to wash your hands of it as some

1415
01:12:09,439 --> 01:12:11,720
Speaker 1: type of talk show narrative, just that's not reading the

1416
01:12:11,720 --> 01:12:14,160
Speaker 1: situation correctly. In my opinion, I think it has been

1417
01:12:14,160 --> 01:12:16,400
Speaker 1: a legitimate issue. You see all these guys coming up

1418
01:12:16,439 --> 01:12:18,719
Speaker 1: to him every week, you see his old coach talking

1419
01:12:18,760 --> 01:12:20,559
Speaker 1: about it. I mean, it's it's out there that this

1420
01:12:20,560 --> 01:12:22,080
Speaker 1: guy is playing a little out of control. Right now.

1421
01:12:23,640 --> 01:12:26,360
Speaker 1: Seven news cycle issue though. I mean, we don't talk

1422
01:12:26,400 --> 01:12:28,680
Speaker 1: about it every show, but I'm talking about it's just

1423
01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:31,000
Speaker 1: been dragged through the mud. I mean, it's just like,

1424
01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:34,920
Speaker 1: all right, enough with the Odell Beckham. Well that's it.

1425
01:12:35,400 --> 01:12:37,200
Speaker 1: I can talk about it. Though. I thought we did

1426
01:12:37,240 --> 01:12:39,599
Speaker 1: a good job of handling that discussion. We did. Now

1427
01:12:39,680 --> 01:12:41,720
Speaker 1: let's the rest of the show. Let's continue to talk

1428
01:12:41,760 --> 01:12:45,960
Speaker 1: about it, though. I would like, let's pick that game.

1429
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:50,919
Speaker 1: I like that game. Giants at Packers, Mark gonna go Giants. Wow,

1430
01:12:51,520 --> 01:12:56,599
Speaker 1: nice looking for another Hero pick. I smell Packers are

1431
01:12:56,640 --> 01:12:58,720
Speaker 1: so good at home. I'm going Packers. I didn't like

1432
01:12:58,760 --> 01:13:00,479
Speaker 1: what I saw from the Giants. I melt a little

1433
01:13:00,479 --> 01:13:03,200
Speaker 1: bit of a funk coming up with that team, and uh,

1434
01:13:03,560 --> 01:13:06,040
Speaker 1: maybe Mike McCarthy learned some things from that second half

1435
01:13:06,600 --> 01:13:09,120
Speaker 1: the play calling there. I like the Packers winning by

1436
01:13:09,160 --> 01:13:11,439
Speaker 1: a couple of scores. Yeah, I I agree with you.

1437
01:13:11,520 --> 01:13:14,240
Speaker 1: I don't think the Giants are an above average team

1438
01:13:14,320 --> 01:13:17,519
Speaker 1: right now, and the Packers defense has been good pretty

1439
01:13:17,520 --> 01:13:19,800
Speaker 1: deep in terms of their pastors. Let's talk on Sunday

1440
01:13:19,840 --> 01:13:22,080
Speaker 1: night when I've won two Hero picks. Nick Nick Perry.

1441
01:13:22,680 --> 01:13:25,040
Speaker 1: Nick Perry's having a career yere right now, he's been

1442
01:13:25,080 --> 01:13:29,080
Speaker 1: better than Clay Matthews or Julius Peppers. Nice little, nice

1443
01:13:29,120 --> 01:13:32,240
Speaker 1: little resigning by the Paths for cheap money. That was

1444
01:13:32,280 --> 01:13:34,160
Speaker 1: a Sunday night game, by the way, now the Monday

1445
01:13:34,240 --> 01:13:37,559
Speaker 1: night football game. Uh, you know what, schedulemakers come back

1446
01:13:37,600 --> 01:13:39,400
Speaker 1: to us, what are we doing here? And the Tampa

1447
01:13:39,479 --> 01:13:42,280
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers one in three at the Carolina Panthers one

1448
01:13:42,280 --> 01:13:44,000
Speaker 1: in three. I don't know if we're gonna have Cam

1449
01:13:44,040 --> 01:13:47,040
Speaker 1: Newton like the Cardinals got banged with Carson Palmer in

1450
01:13:47,080 --> 01:13:50,559
Speaker 1: the short week. The Panthers are gonna uh get an

1451
01:13:50,560 --> 01:13:52,400
Speaker 1: extra day to see if they can get Newton on

1452
01:13:52,439 --> 01:13:55,479
Speaker 1: the field after his concussion. So we'll see what happens there.

1453
01:13:56,040 --> 01:13:59,639
Speaker 1: But if Panther, if if if Newton's there, the Bucks

1454
01:13:59,680 --> 01:14:03,000
Speaker 1: going to Carolina, Mark that feels like a total buzz song. Well,

1455
01:14:03,040 --> 01:14:05,400
Speaker 1: we talked about this downstairs, and it reminds me of

1456
01:14:05,640 --> 01:14:09,120
Speaker 1: last Sunday night when you take the Chiefs, you know,

1457
01:14:09,160 --> 01:14:11,400
Speaker 1: and the schedule makers don't know what's going to happen

1458
01:14:11,400 --> 01:14:13,320
Speaker 1: with these teams. I'll give him that, But the Chiefs

1459
01:14:13,360 --> 01:14:16,280
Speaker 1: having to go into Pittsburgh or was anyone surprised when

1460
01:14:16,280 --> 01:14:18,280
Speaker 1: it was an absolute bomb drop in. The Chiefs are

1461
01:14:18,280 --> 01:14:20,680
Speaker 1: getting scattered all over the field. Now you take the

1462
01:14:20,720 --> 01:14:24,240
Speaker 1: Bucks and you make them go into Carolina. Why would

1463
01:14:24,240 --> 01:14:27,240
Speaker 1: the Bucks in this game not be a hometown hometown team.

1464
01:14:27,240 --> 01:14:30,400
Speaker 1: They never get home, they never get home games at night. Ever,

1465
01:14:30,880 --> 01:14:32,960
Speaker 1: it's a chance to do that. Despite what I've said

1466
01:14:32,960 --> 01:14:37,200
Speaker 1: about their field and their stadium, Well, thank you. And also,

1467
01:14:37,240 --> 01:14:39,280
Speaker 1: it's just like you're putting a You're putting what is

1468
01:14:39,960 --> 01:14:43,200
Speaker 1: identifiably in the off season as an average team into

1469
01:14:43,240 --> 01:14:45,680
Speaker 1: a team that won fifteen and one last season. You

1470
01:14:45,720 --> 01:14:48,960
Speaker 1: have an exciting player to market and build and watch

1471
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:51,840
Speaker 1: and Jamis Winston watch him on game pass. Problem is

1472
01:14:52,040 --> 01:14:54,800
Speaker 1: he's dealing with the situation kind of like Andrew Luck.

1473
01:14:54,800 --> 01:14:56,960
Speaker 1: He's not Andrew Luck. Yet I'm not saying that this

1474
01:14:57,000 --> 01:14:59,120
Speaker 1: is a lousy team around him, and they've gotten worse

1475
01:14:59,160 --> 01:15:02,640
Speaker 1: because of injuries. Just last week they lost Gerald McCoy

1476
01:15:02,680 --> 01:15:05,400
Speaker 1: and Noah Spends. Both of those guys are supposed to

1477
01:15:05,439 --> 01:15:09,760
Speaker 1: miss this game. They are missing in including Doug martin In,

1478
01:15:09,880 --> 01:15:11,719
Speaker 1: some of the players in the front line. They're missing

1479
01:15:11,760 --> 01:15:13,719
Speaker 1: four or five of their best players. And they weren't

1480
01:15:13,720 --> 01:15:17,560
Speaker 1: a very deep team to begin with Winston is struggling,

1481
01:15:18,040 --> 01:15:20,439
Speaker 1: this is I agree, it's it's a tough situation to

1482
01:15:20,479 --> 01:15:22,559
Speaker 1: go into. And I think even if Winston played well,

1483
01:15:22,600 --> 01:15:25,000
Speaker 1: they don't beat the Panthers. Last week was a recipe

1484
01:15:25,040 --> 01:15:28,320
Speaker 1: for disaster against the Denver defense that had no respect

1485
01:15:28,360 --> 01:15:31,320
Speaker 1: for Charles Simms whatsoever and was gonna tee off on

1486
01:15:31,400 --> 01:15:34,800
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston all game long. I don't think the Bucks

1487
01:15:34,800 --> 01:15:36,599
Speaker 1: are a good team, but I think they're gonna play

1488
01:15:36,600 --> 01:15:39,040
Speaker 1: better than they did against the Broncos. This is a

1489
01:15:39,880 --> 01:15:42,160
Speaker 1: this is a flip the panic switch game for the Panthers.

1490
01:15:42,680 --> 01:15:44,400
Speaker 1: It will be a tougher game, of course if Cam

1491
01:15:44,439 --> 01:15:46,920
Speaker 1: Newton doesn't play. But if they somehow stumbled here and

1492
01:15:46,920 --> 01:15:49,160
Speaker 1: went to one and four, then you could legitimately say

1493
01:15:49,200 --> 01:15:50,800
Speaker 1: they're in deep trouble. But I just don't see it.

1494
01:15:50,960 --> 01:15:53,720
Speaker 1: We can talk about Tampa's offense having their issues, their

1495
01:15:53,760 --> 01:15:57,720
Speaker 1: defense in four games twenty four, forty thirty seven and

1496
01:15:57,720 --> 01:16:01,320
Speaker 1: twenty seven points allowed. I mean, this defense is a

1497
01:16:01,320 --> 01:16:04,719
Speaker 1: disaster and and that was giving. And even that twenty

1498
01:16:04,760 --> 01:16:07,720
Speaker 1: seven points last week feels misleading because they're giving up

1499
01:16:07,920 --> 01:16:10,720
Speaker 1: long drives where they just can't get off that and

1500
01:16:10,720 --> 01:16:13,360
Speaker 1: they don't turn the ball over, the turnovers in the

1501
01:16:13,439 --> 01:16:15,840
Speaker 1: league red. I thought Mike Smith would help this defense,

1502
01:16:16,280 --> 01:16:18,840
Speaker 1: just because they were so bad with Lovey Smith last year.

1503
01:16:19,240 --> 01:16:23,479
Speaker 1: And uh, it's not working. They've been, really they've I

1504
01:16:23,560 --> 01:16:27,519
Speaker 1: guess they've been banged up. They've been. They're they're a

1505
01:16:27,520 --> 01:16:31,040
Speaker 1: faulty roster. That's that's pretty banged up and they're not

1506
01:16:31,120 --> 01:16:35,040
Speaker 1: handling it all. Right. There you go, guys. That is

1507
01:16:35,160 --> 01:16:38,120
Speaker 1: the preview of Week five. The next time you hear

1508
01:16:38,160 --> 01:16:41,400
Speaker 1: from us, all these games, with the exception of the

1509
01:16:41,400 --> 01:16:43,800
Speaker 1: Monday night football game, will have been played and we

1510
01:16:43,880 --> 01:16:47,280

Speaker 1: banged on Twitter. But thank you to you guys too.

1520
01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:22,200
Speaker 1: I thought this is this is not a good segue, Damn.

1521
01:17:22,240 --> 01:17:25,880
Speaker 1: I apologize. I thought of a great prank someone that

1522
01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:29,800
Speaker 1: is annoying. You go into their house while they're not there,

1523
01:17:31,240 --> 01:17:33,360
Speaker 1: and what you do is you set all their TVs

1524
01:17:33,520 --> 01:17:36,040
Speaker 1: and all their any radios in the house, anything that

1525
01:17:36,080 --> 01:17:38,920
Speaker 1: emits any sort of a broadcast, and you get a

1526
01:17:39,080 --> 01:17:42,880
Speaker 1: very technically proficient wire type person to put the Bucks

1527
01:17:42,920 --> 01:17:47,720
Speaker 1: Panthers replay on loop forever. There's no way to change it.

1528
01:17:47,800 --> 01:17:49,640
Speaker 1: The only thing they can watch in their house is

1529
01:17:49,640 --> 01:17:52,680
Speaker 1: the Bucks Panthers replayed, and from now until the end

1530
01:17:53,080 --> 01:18:00,960
Speaker 1: of their lives. I'm telling you that will settle the score.

1531
01:18:01,040 --> 01:18:03,559
Speaker 1: All right, nicely done, SAP. That's good. Let's get out

1532
