10
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: sort of pick and shoes dynamic to it become Erica centric. Yeah, Hey,

12

Speaker 1: sitting behind the glass, but after a European jaunt, she's not.

13
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say she's all the way checked in. Fair

14
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: to say Erica at this point? Um, No, I do

15
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,400

20
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: I think Mark has it. Yeah, I have it, and

21
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: you exacerbate it at every turn by apathy is helping me.

22
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: Mark Assessor has a lot apathy doesn't have a lot

23
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: of apathy. Is that not gross to anyone else? It's

24
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: not gross to me? All right, I enjoy your bitter

25
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: beer face. All right? Well, Week seven? What what? What

26
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,119
Speaker 1: a day it's been. Ryan Tannehill's back in our life

27
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 1: and he's a winner against all odds. Um, we're gonna

28
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: get to that. We have the undefeated. Uh, undefeated team

29
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: stays undefeated. Some winless teams stay winless. So so much

30
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: to get to. And we'll cap it off with Sunday

31
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: Night football and a huge, huge moment for Chris Westling

32
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: who is looking to get off the lock Schneide in

33
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,679
Speaker 1: a big spot. Uh and in primetime. So a lot

34
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: to get to. You guys want to start digging into

35
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: the show, Let's do it. And let's start with a

36
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: team that's as hot as any team in football, going

37
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: on the road to Soldier Field, Saints Football. Baby Bridgewater

38
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: under center, puts thrown out to the side Taysom Hill,

39
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: Croft line touchdown Tyson Hill. It's a little variation of

40
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: your coolie ball there and swing it out to Taysom Hill.

41
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: He puts his head down and good luck stopping that load.

42
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: Where the head of students. You have to know where

43
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: number seven is in the rents on like this. Now

44
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 1: about that Zach Streep and deuce McAllister with the call

45
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: get rid of that generic slop bringing Sam Spence NFL

46
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:03,119
Speaker 1: Films said our library. Baby, you can't take it away,

47
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: but you can try. I'm out the door if you do.

48
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: Save that voice right out. Eddy Bridgewater through for two

49
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: one two touchdowns, including mark to your boy Taysom Hill,

50
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,119
Speaker 1: and the Saints approved a five and oh without Drew

51
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: Brees win over the Bears. Don't pay that final score

52
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 1: here any mind. The final score is a disgrace because

53
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: this game was as one sided as it gets marked.

54
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: Oh yes it was. You're absolutely right. This is one where,

55
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: for different reasons than sometimes the box score translates into

56
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: an ultra lie because before you know, garbage time said

57
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: it a total disgrace. This we could we can turn

58
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: negative on the Bears in a minute. I will say

59
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: I think this game was a decisive turning point in

60
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: the Mattenegy Mitch Robinsky experience, and it had a lot

61
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: to do with a better coach and a better coach

62
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: team coming into Chicago and completely ignoring whatever aspect you

63
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: wanted to hand to the Bears before. This wasn't their defense. No,

64
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: it won't be the Bears defense because the Saints offensive line,

65
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: one of the best in football, is gonna come in

66
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: and handle Khalil mac and everyone else and pound them

67
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: for four hundred plus yards a hundred and fifty plus

68
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: on the ground, and without Drew Brees in the lineup,

69
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: without Alvin Kamara, it doesn't matter. Teddy Bridgewater, you know what. Yeah,

70
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: you're halfway through this game and he's missed a bunch

71
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: of throws and he's giving you what you're expecting from

72
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater. But he doesn't turn the ball over. He

73
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: manages this team. Latavius Murray on the ground did just

74
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: enough and in every single aspect you could ask, the

75
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: Saints dominated They had nearly the ball for nearly forty minutes,

76
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: and in the defense is an absolutely phenomenal defense. I

77
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 1: will say this, Chicago, when you're gonna go out there

78
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: and with minutes to go before this thing turned into

79
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: garbage time nonsense. Had nine drives of less than ten

80
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: yards fewer than ten yards, and it is fair to

81
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: look at the Mitchell Drabinsky experience along with everything around him.

82
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: It's not just him alone, but he's not surrounded with

83
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: a lot of people to help him out. There had

84
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: about seventeen yards rushing in this disaster of a game.

85
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: Ms Robinsky is missing throws and doing all the things

86
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: that are tied to the negative aspects of his career.

87
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: This was a huge game. They are now three and three.

88
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: I don't I think if you're a Bears fan, you

89
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: go to bed tonight with a lot of deep seated

90
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: concerns about your team and where they're going. It's a

91
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: terrible look for the Bears. I mean because, like you

92
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: just said, no Drew Brees, but we already know that

93
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 1: the Saints can win without Drew Brees. We've been seeing

94
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 1: it for a month plus. No Alvin Kamara. Now that's

95
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 1: at the point where you think no Jared Cooking. There

96
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: no Jared Cooking. He made big play. I mean, this

97
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: was a game where you should have seen a compromise

98
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 1: Saints team struggle in all phases, but instead, well, Tavias

99
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 1: Murray gave you more than just enough. He goes for

100
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: a hundred nineteen yards and two scores. Alvin Kamara going

101
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: to be able to do much better, I'm sure. And

102
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: and so the Saints are is in greatest shape as

103
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 1: you can get. And we heard during the telecast um

104
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: Troy Aikman spoke on the field with Drew Brees, who

105
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: didn't rule out the possibility that he'd be back before

106
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: the bye. Sounds like that's the plan, which is just

107
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: more good news for the Saints. And yeah, and back

108
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 1: to the Bears Trabisky, who I think there's two ways

109
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: to look at it. And you could say, all right,

110
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: he just got back from the injury. Let's be a

111
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 1: little bit more patient. But then there's also the side

112
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: of it where it's just like the confidence looks like

113
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: it might be shot. And maybe the garbage time helped here,

114
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: but the concience is shot. And in general the Bears

115
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: that they just don't look like a team that feels

116
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: itself at all. Right now, No, last year, I argued

117
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: to give the guy time to develop. You know, it's

118
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: a new system. He's only in his first year starting

119
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 1: let him develop, and he's gone backwards. It's sort of

120
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 1: like Marcus Mariotta accept accelerated, he's regressed in his second year.

121
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: And I I think at this point the Bears have

122
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: to start looking around for other they were down in

123
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: if you can, I mean, I don't know what's out there, fools.

124
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariotte is out there and his offensive the offensive

125
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: coordinator in Chicago is a former coach of the Oregon Ducks.

126
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: How about that put it together? Uh, here's the thing, though,

127
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: the entire Bears team has regressed in Robinsky is number

128
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: one among them, but the offensive line has been terrible

129
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: all game. They don't have a running game, and the

130
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: defense is not as good. I know they had a

131
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: couple of splashy games, but when you're giving up long

132
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: drives to Joe Flacco and you're giving up a couple

133
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: of really long drives to Derek Carr in the Raiders,

134
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: I mean they've been a very good defense, a top

135
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: five defense entering today. But top five isn't the same

136
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: as number one by far, and so that puts more

137
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: pressure on your offense. And I think one of the

138
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: most memorable things of the season happened today in Chicago.

139
00:07:54,640 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: The crowd chanting Teddy, Teddy Teddy for Teddy Bridgewater in Chicago.

140
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: That's the Saints fans showing up on the road. I

141
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: mean that is that is something else. And John Payton's

142
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: gonna get his first coach of the year since his

143
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: first year in the league, which ended uh with a

144
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: loss in Chicago. He deserves it. I know that there's

145
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: Belichick and everyone else, but there are little things that

146
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: Sean Payton does. You know, other coaches even if they

147
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: they they throw the challenge flag and then you know

148
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: it totally beguiled when it doesn't go their way. Paid

149
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: through an early one in this game that went the

150
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,559
Speaker 1: Saints way and kept it took took a big chunk

151
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: of yardage away from Chicago. It mattered these little things

152
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: that he does in the way that he just scripts

153
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: the offense differently week to week depending on who's in there.

154
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: And it was it was like a game where it's

155
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: Matt Nigy. We both have backup quarterbacks. You presume yours

156
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: as a starter. I know mine isn't, but we're still

157
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 1: gonna go in and school you. And before we move on,

158
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: my my final thought, and I've had this thought all season,

159
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: and sports can be humbling, but I keep thinking back

160
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 1: to the summer and the hubris of the Bears who

161
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: brought in the nine kickers and this general feeling from

162
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 1: outside the team like they thought, if we just got

163
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: a guy who could put it through the uprights in

164
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: the playoffs, we will be playing in February. Well it's

165
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: not always that easy, and we're seeing that right now

166
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: because this team has so many more problems than they

167
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: thought they did, and we'll see if they could dig

168
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: themselves out. But it is not looking too hot right now.

169
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: Let's move on. Not too hot. Jackson was first in

170
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: the backfield. This is gonna be a quarterback run. Jackson

171
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: takes a snap, runs the right, He's got a scene,

172
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 1: he's still five, he's in touch up Lamar Jackson, Penna

173
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: Ravens had taken the lead. Again. That was old school

174
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: single wing and that was a straight up wildcat play.

175
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: Great time out, great decision, great execution, and the Ravens

176
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 1: are back in front. And that was on fourth down.

177
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:49,839
Speaker 1: Jerry Sandusky, Dennis Pitta, Dennis Petta, nice help his hips. Okay, Yeah,

178
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: that thing was That was a real that game a

179
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 1: lot of trouble. Yes it did. And Jared Johnson w

180
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 1: b a L with the call m VP watch let r.

181
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 1: Jackson ran for a hundred sixteen yards and a touchdown,

182
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: made some big throws and took the Ravens to an

183
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: easy thirty to sixteen win. Yeah, easy over the Seahawks

184
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: at the clink. West, This game did nothing for you

185
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:17,599
Speaker 1: until Lamar got hot. It wasn't easy for two and

186
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: a half quarters, and it wasn't easy to watch the game.

187
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: There wasn't a whole lot going on. And then that

188
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,959
Speaker 1: sequence that we're talking about the red zone in the

189
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: third quarter. Uh, Lamar Jackson set it up with a

190
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: really nice pass to Mark Andrews down the sideline, maybe

191
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: his best path past of the day. And then kJ

192
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: Wright and knocked a touchdown out of Mark Andrew's hands.

193
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: Then Mark Andrews just flat out dropped the ball. Got

194
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: to be third and fifteen. Lamar Jackson scrambles for about

195
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: thirteen and a half yards on third and fifteen, so

196
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: it's fourth and two and they send out Justin Tucker

197
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 1: for the field goal, only to call a time out

198
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: and give credit to John Harbor who has stood up

199
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: at the podium and said, this is what's going on

200
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: with our analytics department. This is what I believe in,

201
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: this is how I'm calling plays now. Were aggressive the

202
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: eight yard rush on fourth two for a touchdown. The

203
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: confidence Lamar Jackson, the way Lamar Jackson played, and in

204
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: that sequence, there was also a play where they didn't

205
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: get the ball off in time and it was a

206
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: shotgun and Lamar Jackson was as demonstrative as any quarterback

207
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: you'll ever see, upset with the center. Uh, the center

208
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 1: snapped it late anyway, Lamar is mid air jumping, snapped

209
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: to his ankles and he still caught it while he's

210
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: like midair. It was amazing athletic play. But how demonstrative

211
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: he was and how much he cared in that situation,

212
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: and he took over from there. The Seahawks defense was

213
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: so frustrated by his scrambling ability, his legs, and you

214
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: could see they just sort of had no answer for him.

215
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: The rest of the way. Well, they played football unlike

216
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: any other team in the league and on some level,

217
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 1: any other team that's ever played. Because he's he's on

218
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: his way to setting the all time rushing record for

219
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,719
Speaker 1: a quarterback. He's on pace for almost he's unpasted. To

220
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: show matter, he only completed nine passes today. That would

221
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: have been better as certainly if Mark Andrews had caught

222
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: his passes. But the thing I think, if you're a

223
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: Ravens fan that you like is I think the defense

224
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: has been getting a little bit better each week. And

225
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: Marcus Peters makes a big pick six today for them. Uh,

226
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: that came in handy well along with Lamar Jackson. The

227
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 1: other story of the game was it looked like Wink

228
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 1: Martindale was finally calling plays like he trusted his secondary again.

229
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,719
Speaker 1: He he said, I'm gonna bring the house and I'm

230
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: gonna play man defense back here, and then we're gonna change.

231
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: We're gonna dare the Seahawks to do it. And the

232
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 1: Seahawks office one offense. One of the reasons why I

233
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 1: can't really get behind them is I never know what

234
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: their offense is. It just seems to be like, let's

235
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 1: roll out the footballs and have Russell Wilson make magic.

236
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: What happens when he doesn't make magic? I mean that's

237
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: and that happened until this game, right, And that's why

238
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: Wilson a lot of people when they talk about who's

239
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: an MVP favorite, he's been the other top of the

240
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 1: list because every week he's been carrying this team. So

241
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 1: that's why the Ravens we talked about this on the

242
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: Thursday preview. Um, their defense is not good this year,

243
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: and to look at the final stat line, Russell Wilson

244
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,959
Speaker 1: one less than six yards per attempt, he threw a

245
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: pick six. This is stuff that has been completely fourig

246
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: into the twenty nineteen season. Anyone making Russell Wilson look human,

247
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: So that I mean, that's a huge credit to Wink

248
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: and company. Yeah, a defense that's been influx and they've

249
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: made a lot of change changes just in the past

250
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. The early results today were the changes

251
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: worked great. I I know, I know he was only

252
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: sacked one time, Russell Wilson, but I feel like every

253
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: time I looked up, the Ravens were in his face

254
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: and making life difficult. And Gregg, you mentioned that the

255
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: reporting out there was that the Ravens, if they were

256
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 1: gonna trade from Marcus Peters, wanted him right away for

257
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: this game, and he made a huge difference. And the

258
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: Ravens of that kind of team, when they make a trade,

259
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: it's not just to generate headlines. It's because it's a

260
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: missing piece it fits. I think the next missing piece

261
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 1: for them might be a wide receiver. We mentioned that

262
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: on Thursday. I'd like to see something else in the

263
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: passing game. But when you're gonna run the ball thirty

264
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: five times nearly six yards per carry, I don't know.

265
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: Maybe you just ride this out well. And Humphrey and

266
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,599
Speaker 1: Peters is a legit combo. And even when you know

267
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: when they get Jimmy Smith back, that'll be even better.

268
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: Josh Bines to think who used to play for Detroit

269
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: and has had moments I think has helped out the

270
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: middle of this defense. I don't know why he went

271
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: on signed during the off season. I thought he was

272
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: one of the Cardinals best defensive players last year. That

273
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: report was from Adam Schefter, by the way, and it

274
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: is really interesting that he reported. All this trade stuff

275
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: happened this week with a call from the Rams to

276
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: the Browns because they wanted Joel the Tonio for Marcus Peters.

277
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: They said no, they ended up. You know, I'm making

278
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: a lower level trade to the Rams. They call, they

279
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: call up the Ravens, and the Ravens said, yeah, we

280
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: want Peters, but we want them this week. We want

281
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: this trade to be finished in the next couple of

282
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: hours or else we're not going to do it. And

283
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: it all happened very fast. I mean, you give up Joel,

284
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: But who's who's guarding Baker Mayfield my little pony right now?

285
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: I think that was good by the Browns. He didn't

286
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: need to do that. I'd like to see that. I

287
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: don't need to see that cartoon. Big win five and

288
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: two right now. They put themselves put some distance. I

289
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: believe Cleveland Market two and four is in second place,

290
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: and it's a huge upset at this point with the

291
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: way the four teams in that division are playing at

292
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: Baltimore does not handled their business, however, I agree. But however,

293
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: I just looked at their schedule and they have the

294
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: Patriots next week, then at Cincinnati. There you go Texans

295
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: at Rams, Niners at bill So this is gonna be

296
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: a tough stretch for them. They have the flip of

297
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: what some of the other teams in that division had.

298
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: I mean, it was a rough schedule for a bunch

299
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: of those North teams. They've done a nice job setting

300
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: themselves up for that really tough stretch and this was

301
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: part of that tough stretch and they got it done.

302
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: Let's check in on a huge division showdown. First down

303
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: year midfield for the Houston Texas. Watson backs the throw.

304
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: We's got time, STAPs up in the pocket, wheels a

305
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: deep down field and it's pottled and it's in pen plates.

306
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: They they're gonna say, what do we got? We go

307
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: the intersection by the Cults, intersection by the Cults, kick

308
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: CUTI bottled it and then the ball took up from

309
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: the air. Something about Nilus. Here's Terius letters. Letter comes

310
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: out with the drill. Co put the interception the second

311
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: I n the ball game for the Colts. Lets you

312
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: do it? What is everyone laughing about? I will tell

313
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: you in a minute. I don't want to We'll get there.

314
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: It's Matt Taylor Radio Network. And yes, Darius Leonard back

315
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: in the lineup, and he comes up with the game

316
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: uh deciding interception. But to me, this game was about

317
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: Jake Breast. Jake Briskett, You're a star kid, at least

318
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: you were on Sunday. Jacoby precent through for three six

319
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: yards and a career high four touchdowns, leading the Colts

320
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: past the Houston Texans thirty three, and with the wind,

321
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: the Colts move into sole possession of first place in

322
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: the a f C South. And and you know what,

323
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: as we near the midpoint of this season. You know

324
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: it will be week eight come Thursday. Um, you could

325
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: not ask for a better situation if you're a Colts fan,

326
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: for Andrew Luck to step away and leave the game

327
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 1: right on the eve of the season and then to

328
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: be ahead of everyone in your division and gaining confidence

329
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 1: by the week. Um. A huge win obviously a week

330
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: ago against the Chiefs. Now another big brand name taken

331
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: out in the Texans, and their schedule really softens up ahead,

332
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: so they have a chance to not only now that

333
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 1: their head, they have a chance to put them in

334
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 1: position to really put the heat on Houston to just

335
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 1: to keep up with them if they can take care

336
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: of their own business. And um, I my, my big

337
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: takeaway from what they did that was different this week is,

338
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 1: like I said, Jake Brisket played so well. This has

339
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: been a team that has runned the football, played good defense,

340
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: got good coaching, and moved the ball through the air

341
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: when they had to. Well, this was a game where

342
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: they couldn't really run the ball and they needed Jake

343
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: Briskett to do something special and he did. And that's

344
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: a huge lift for this team. I was laughing because

345
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 1: we do these hits for Sky Sky Sports UM in

346
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 1: the UK, and if you're on the way the process works,

347
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 1: it's it's a bit tedious. We have to send an

348
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 1: email saying here's what we're gonna talk about this podcast.

349
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: Well I'm not saying it's not, it's just that it's

350
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 1: just that it's email based and I and I basically

351
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: it's my job, like in this case, to send over

352
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:15,959
Speaker 1: here's what Dan's gonna talk about, and and they can

353
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,640
Speaker 1: they will throw to us based off of these sentences

354
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: that we send. And I was meant to say for Dan,

355
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: the cults one in a very different way today and

356
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: all they wrote was they want they want in a

357
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: different way today. So like seconds before we're on the air,

358
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 1: you know, Alex Mason, our beloved producer there is saying, Dan,

359
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: who on earth was it that you were to say?

360
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 1: I didn't do it And it just wasn't melt. Sorry,

361
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:41,959
Speaker 1: It's like my two young sons pointing at each other

362
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 1: when there's a spilled milk on the ground or something. Right.

363
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 1: Um anyway, Yes, big win for the cults. I love

364
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 1: when teams going to the bye week and you can

365
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: see when they come out of the bye week that

366
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 1: they had some ideas about how they're going to attack differently,

367
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: and I think the Cults knew what their reputation was there,

368
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 1: the slowest pay beast offense in the league. They're the

369
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: offense that's going deep down the field and not explosive

370
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 1: most of the league. And they come out of that

371
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: bye week and they throw the ball around and it works,

372
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: and you know what, I think it's really key and

373
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 1: who knows if they'll stay healthy. But we haven't seen

374
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 1: the Colts defense all year this today we did. Sheared

375
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: Dniko Autrey, Darius Leonard all back on the field at

376
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 1: the same time. And for defense that doesn't have a

377
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 1: ton of talent, I think it's important that they're healthy

378
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 1: because all those guys play almost every single snap, even

379
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 1: on the defensive one Darius Lennard jumped right in tent

380
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: tackles seven solos, a pick that changed the game at

381
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 1: the end. I do think he would have been Defensive

382
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: Player of the Year one, two or three candidate had

383
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: he not suffered this concussion. Credit to the Colts beat

384
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: writers who have been pumping up Zack Pascal since training camp.

385
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: He goes hundred six yards and two touchdowns today. What

386
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,360
Speaker 1: what did the Colts do or what did you see

387
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: out of your boy Watson? Uh? Yeah, at this point

388
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: the Texans being held to twenty three points is like,

389
00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: I see that as a great job at a defense.

390
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, it was we you know, we just talked

391
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: about you don't want to always depend on like in Seattle,

392
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: for your quarterback to have to put on the Superman cape.

393
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: But Watson, like Wilson, is one of the few guys

394
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: that can pull it off. He just didn't do it

395
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: this time. He threw two interceptions in the fourth quarter.

396
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 1: One was a terrible throw when he threw off his

397
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 1: back foot across his body into the flat for an

398
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,479
Speaker 1: easy pick. And then they got off the field immediately. Uh,

399
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 1: to keep them in the game. And it was a

400
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 1: two score game. And um, he throws a pass a

401
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: little bit high to Kiki who maybe should have had

402
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: the ball, but it wasn't put on the numbers. Um,

403
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: they would have more points if the game officials didn't

404
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 1: bang Watson on in the grasp call where he did

405
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,880
Speaker 1: an amazing job because he's one of the great athletes

406
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 1: in the sport of staying on his feet with people

407
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: trying to drag him down. Hits DeAndre Hopkins for for six.

408
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: They wave it off because they decided he was in

409
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 1: the grasp. I don't really get the ruling. I know

410
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 1: it's done to protect quarterbacks, but usually in that situation,

411
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 1: the quarterback gets opt anyway, um and it costs them

412
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 1: four points as it turned out. So and that turned

413
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: out to be a big deal. But Watson was good,

414
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 1: not great, and this is a game where they needed

415
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: him to be great, and uh, it wasn't that. I

416
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: thought they'd have a chance to maybe, you know, run

417
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: away with this division. That seems a lot less likely now.

418
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: They do get the Colts on I believe it's a

419
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: Thursday night game, but they also play the Ravens and

420
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: the Patriots, all those teams kind of battling for seeding. Well,

421
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: Dan talked about this cult schedule. Their next four games,

422
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 1: three home games. In that four they play Broncos, Steelers, Dolphins, Jags.

423
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: You can't draw it up much better than that. In

424
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: consistency continues to haunt the Texans because I feel like

425
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: every eight or nine days we're talking about how amazing

426
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: they look and how they're a real threat, and then

427
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,479
Speaker 1: they drop one of these games, which I wouldn't call

428
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: it a stinker. Going on the road and losing to

429
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: a good colts team in the competitive games. Not the

430
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: end of the world. But they committed ten penalties. Uh,

431
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 1: they had the two turnovers. They they had three um,

432
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: they had three drives where they went into deep into

433
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: Cults territory and had to settle for field goal. Uh.

434
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: They just need to be sharper and really kind of

435
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: start stacking wins like they did last team is like

436
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,360
Speaker 1: the ball though, are they fun to be covering Jacoby

437
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 1: Brisett and Frank Rank at the Super Bowl? Why not?

438
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 1: Let's do it. Eric Hebron made the cat one of

439
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 1: the catches of the year. The one thing with the Texans,

440
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 1: I'd rather follow a team that hits you with those

441
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 1: occasional high ceiling moments where you feel like they could

442
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: beat anyone at certain times, then a clunker that's gonna

443
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 1: go give you ten wins, but they are limited and

444
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 1: you're just you're fooling yourself if you think they're gonna

445
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 1: do anything beyond total marginal ten wins season disappearing into

446
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: the midst I think these are both playoff teams and

447
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: I want to be surprised if they play again. AFC

448
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 1: is a mess. Why not let's move on, Jeff the

449
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:55,919
Speaker 1: Rudgers rain balls right, No, he's stick kind of bounds. Apparently.

450
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: Apparently it is seven yards touch downstroyed for Aaron Rodgers.

451
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 1: Wayne Larity. Look at this song. I mean, I'm just

452
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: picturing Joe Joe Namath in the hottest club on the

453
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: Upper east Side, just going ham. This feels like French

454
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 1: Connection Part three or something. What's happening here? I love it.

455
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: Let's play this for every game. The Packers radio network.

456
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers looks like an m v P again. Rogers

457
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 1: had his best game by far under Matt lap Bleuur,

458
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: throwing for four nine yards five touchdowns, runs for another score.

459
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 1: Flower Power Backers beat the Raiders at Lamba. The wind

460
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: moves to the pack, the pack to five and one

461
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: keeps him alone the top the NFC North Greg The

462
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 1: Packers are fun again. Not good news for the rest

463
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 1: of the NFC. It is not because Aaron Rodgers has

464
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: total command of his offense right now, total command of

465
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: the game. I thought he had it on Monday night.

466
00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 1: I thought that game was one of the best I've

467
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 1: seen in years from him. The surroundings not as much today.

468
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 1: It showed up in the statue. They only had the

469
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: ball eight times with Aaron Rodgers. They scored six touchdowns

470
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,239
Speaker 1: in those eight possessions, and he scored on all of them.

471
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 1: And the sequence to end the first half and to

472
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: start the second half where they had to move down

473
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: the field quickly, to me told you everything. They didn't run,

474
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: they didn't call a running play, and either one of

475
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 1: those drives, they scored touchdowns in both of those drives.

476
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: In that Kumarro touchdown, he looks off the safety. He

477
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,719
Speaker 1: hits Kumarro down the field. He was living in turkey

478
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: holes today. I mean half of his throws we're just

479
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 1: beautiful throws that not many quarterbacks could make eight plays

480
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 1: over twenty yards to six different receivers, so they weren't

481
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: that healthy. Valdes Scantling and Geronimo Allison did play, although

482
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 1: they were limited. Eight guys caught between two and four passes.

483
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: So it's a bunch of guys, you know. Alan Lazard

484
00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: and Jimmy Graham actually made a couple of plays that

485
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 1: you unexpect. But he just seems to know everything that's happening.

486
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: On the rushing touchdown that he had he saw where

487
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: the blitz was coming in the middle of their defense,

488
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 1: he changed the play and he just ran it in

489
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: because it was just that easy. And you know this,

490
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: he wanted this game because, as I pointed out, I

491
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 1: wanted this game. This is backed by this is backed

492
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: by no evidence. But you knew he was annoyed. Uh

493
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 1: when Aaron Jones had the four touchdowns on the ground

494
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 1: that one game, and they had an otherwise great game

495
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: on offense, but Rodgers didn't get the stuff the statute

496
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: because that's how you win. Everybody. He has a funny

497
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 1: way of showing it adds six touchdowns to the Ledger

498
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: today and all's even Stephen. That first touchdown that he

499
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 1: had today was to Aaron Jones, and it was a

500
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: back shoulder throw on a corner route by a running back,

501
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 1: which is just the highest degree of difficulty you could

502
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 1: have for Jones who had to turn around at the

503
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: last second. Aaron Jones makes some plays every week that

504
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: just blow you away. So it's not that he doesn't

505
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 1: have any talent around him. He's got Aaron Jones. Where

506
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 1: are we add on this white jacket that the flower

507
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 1: wears every that bother you, I mean the Flower can do.

508
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: Aren't anything he wants to do right now? Keep wearing it.

509
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 1: I I don't like the look, but uh, I have

510
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: to admit when they've been dialing up shot plays like

511
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: they they dialed one up in the first half that

512
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: it ended up being a penalty, but it worked and

513
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: they came out in the second half and you could

514
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: tell it was a Lafleur special. I mean, Tony Romo

515
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 1: was singing, singing CE poems about the play calling that

516
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 1: La Fleur had and they knew what they were gonna do.

517
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: First play out of scrimmage and he hits him for

518
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 1: fifty five yards from go ahead Ramo with C poems,

519
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 1: Rogers looking like an m v P. I cannot wait

520
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: to go home and watch this on game pass. This

521
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: is the first game of the year where on Sunday,

522
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: I'm like, yep, I'm I'm definitely cueing that one up

523
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 1: when I get home. Well, they're an NFC by team

524
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 1: right now, I mean, and they're just they seem to be.

525
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: You could see it with the offense and little stretches here,

526
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: and they're getting better and better. And the Flower kind

527
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: of reminds me of like young al Pacino in like

528
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: the First Godfather, where his voice is crack Lee and

529
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: he's like, wait, you're the lead character of this movie.

530
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: But and you get him ten years later and he's

531
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: like a completely different human being. Maybe that's the arc

532
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,239
Speaker 1: of the Flowers. He starts as someone that we're kind

533
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: of questioningly, what have you said that for ten years

534
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: he might be a totally different dude. The flower is

535
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 1: gonna keep blooming. I mean, the crazy thing is that

536
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: the Raiders offense played quite well in this game. They

537
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: lost the ball twice with the inside the one yard line,

538
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: once they were stuffed in a goal line stand. Another

539
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,639
Speaker 1: time Derek Carr lost a fumble reaching for it like

540
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: he did a couple of years ago or else this

541
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: they would have had a lead seventeen fourteen with a

542
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: couple of minutes left in the In the first half,

543
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: they went up and down the field pretty easily on

544
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,439
Speaker 1: on the Packers, and I think John Gruen is coaching

545
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: amazingly this year. I mean, Derek Carr doesn't have any

546
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: talent other than Darren Waller around him either, and they

547
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 1: are just moving up and down the field very methodically.

548
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 1: But Car, even though his numbers look great in three

549
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: of the first four drives. He was the reason they stopped.

550
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: He missed throws on third down, and when you play

551
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 1: this kind of like shorten the field, we're only gonna

552
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: have eight possession type of style. When you miss a

553
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 1: third down throw, it's it's almost like a turnover. And

554
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: he missed a couple to end otherwise good throws, and

555
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 1: he had that fumble and it was like they were

556
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 1: no coming back because their defense is offul That's what

557
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: I've been telling you. Wait, let's see if we can

558
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: get through another off season with Crew and not falling

559
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 1: for some other quarterbacks somewhere by the way, I'm bailing

560
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: on publican sensus. I'm now for losing possession when you

561
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 1: reach the ball out like a fool and an incredible player,

562
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: great Man having a good season, iamily Man and his numbers.

563
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: He's he's he's closing in on Drew Brees all time

564
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 1: record for completion percentage. But you've got to be better

565
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: about protecting the football there in that spot that killed

566
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 1: him changed the game. Their roster isn't good enough for

567
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 1: the playoffs, and that starts on their defense. But I

568
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: always think it's important in seasons like that when you

569
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 1: know your roster isn't ready yet to find those building blocks.

570
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: And Darren Waller and Josh Jacobs are stars. Their stars.

571
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 1: Jacobs is so good today. He ran over Adrian Amos

572
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: on the first play. He had another monster game. Waller

573
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: is amazing. The defense, I think it's just one of

574
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: the four or five worst in the entire NFL. And

575
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: that you're not gonna beat Aaron Rodgers, I think unless

576
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: you have a pass rushing and they do not outside

577
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: of Kleil mac They inherited that. I mean, and there's

578
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 1: a liver was a long way to go with that defense.

579
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 1: Although they did draft, you know, a pass rusher with

580
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 1: the number four overall pick, and he's giving them very

581
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 1: very little. Max Crosby, their fourth round pick, is giving

582
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 1: them a lot more. Let's check in on another great

583
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: division battle. One wide receiver in the game for the

584
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: Vikings and sticks to the left second and six Cousins

585
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: play action. He's gonna fire d right side. Yes, Jicks

586
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: caught it at the thirty handles to the left twenty.

587
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: He's prints to the fifteen of the tag, holding on

588
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: tightly to the ball with both hands, and he's taken

589
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: down at the four Stefon Dicks comes up huge on

590
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: a sixty five yard reception. It's first in goal Vikingings

591
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: and look one half. Paul Allen, one of the great

592
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: voices in the National Football League amongst the broadcasters Vikings

593
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: Radio Network. I loved that call. I love it when

594
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 1: teams have a chance to close out a game and

595
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 1: they could run the ball through a cloud of dust

596
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: and punted away and hold on for dear life, or

597
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: you could go win a football game, which is what

598
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: they did. Kirk Cousins connects with Stefan digs on that

599
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 1: sixty seven yard catch and run from deep in their

600
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: own territory with two minutes to play, Cousins through four

601
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: touchdown passes and the Vikings when thirty over the slumping

602
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: Lions who have suddenly lost three in a row, and yes,

603
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: you heard it, their play action. That has become what

604
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 1: has changed with his offense in these last three weeks

605
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: where Cousins has become the most productive passer in the league.

606
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: UH a stretch where he has completed passes UH throwing

607
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: ten touchdowns against one interception, UH throwing for I think

608
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: yards per game during this winning streak. And it's play action.

609
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: UH and just to give you an idea of how

610
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 1: much it's been a change and how it's clearly something

611
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 1: they realized they needed to be taking advantage of. Is

612
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: for the past three games, a hundred and fifty plus

613
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: yards of Cousins total is coming off that play action

614
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: in his let's say, sixteen games last year and whatever

615
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: it was before that four games this year, so about

616
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: twenty games he only did that once. So they realized

617
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: that they weren't taking advantage of what of what should

618
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 1: be something I could kill defenses, and now they're killing

619
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: defenses with it, and um, West, this is um such

620
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: a far cry from where we were three weeks ago

621
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: when Kirk Cousins was the Capital TV Capital P problem.

622
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 1: This is why I got excited about the Vikings offense

623
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: coming into the season, because when you have the skill

624
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 1: talent they have, if they find a way to get

625
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 1: into that top gear five yards today, well that problem,

626
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 1: uh combined a couple of perfect storm scenarios that everybody

627
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: always overreacts to the first couple of games of the year.

628
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 1: So you have the normal September over reaction, and then

629
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 1: you have whatever it is about Kirk Cousins, where everybody

630
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 1: insists on a portioning blame to the quarterback after the game.

631
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 1: No matter who's at fault, it always goes to cousins.

632
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 1: I'm glad that he's doing this. I'm glad he's playing

633
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:15,959
Speaker 1: with more confidence, that he's less timid. That they are

634
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: a balanced offense. And that's what Adam Thalan and Stefan

635
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 1: Diggs were saying a few weeks ago. We need to

636
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: be balanced because nobody's gonna be afraid of us if

637
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: all we do is run the ball. And you're right,

638
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 1: then this is the offense you thought you were going

639
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 1: to see in the summertime. And and Mark's right because

640
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: he sat here two weeks ago and says, show me something, Vikings,

641
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: and they did. They showed you that they they might

642
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 1: be one of the best teams in the NFC now, well,

643
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 1: perfectly delightful when they do this and use the weapons

644
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 1: the way they should get strong to say. Mark was

645
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: right about that. He said they were a team that

646
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: had no chance to win in the playoffs. Maybe they

647
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 1: could possy Then well, then are you guys are not

648
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: giving him the proper credit for the fact that the

649
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: Vikings are now showing Mark something. Is what's going on, well,

650
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 1: that's good. Hello? Is that because when you were suggesting

651
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 1: they can be this the best offense in in football,

652
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 1: or they're saying they could change and they have, all right,

653
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: But I was suggesting they weren't playing up to their parts,

654
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: and they weren't. They weren't such a good man and

655
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,239
Speaker 1: he's a good friend, but he's bending over backwards here

656
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: on this angle. Well, Mark saved me from locking up

657
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: the Falcons, so I owe him a bunch of compliments.

658
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: I mean, alright, this is becoming absurd, but I will

659
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 1: say this, they had issues, and I wonder if it

660
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: wasn't maybe Mike Zimmer that at some point in the

661
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: process here had to say my idea of offense needs

662
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: to change. N Stefanski was a guy that other teams wanted,

663
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 1: and Kevin Stefanski, I'm assuming was more creative than this

664
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 1: offense appeared to be with its play calling over the

665
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: first month of the season. So you know, it's not

666
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: all on Kirk Cousins. But they were more than just

667
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 1: Delvin Cook running forty five times a game. Well, and

668
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 1: they were playing a defense you can move the ball on.

669
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: The Lions have given up I think more than four

670
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 1: fifty yards and of opposing offense three three games the

671
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: first time since they went endless and six straight games

672
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: of a hundred plus yards on the ground allowed and

673
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 1: and the Vikings to their credit, they lose Adam Field

674
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 1: in to an injury. He might not be able to

675
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: play Thursday night. I think IRV Smith is a guy

676
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 1: to watch, adding a little more dynamism to their tight

677
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: end position, and IRV Smith gives them that B. C.

678
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: Johnson just makes them all the more dangerous. UM on

679
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 1: the line side of the ball. We've we've now hit

680
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,320
Speaker 1: the point where teeters over to the negative side. We

681
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,760
Speaker 1: were giving them credit for hanging around, hanging in games

682
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 1: against really good competition, which is good. It shows that

683
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: they have progressed year one to year two under Patricia.

684
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: And yes, you guys got jobbed. You got jobbed last

685
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:43,280
Speaker 1: Monday night. Um, it doesn't mean that you certainly should

686
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 1: have won the game, but it really did work out

687
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: in your favor some of those two UH calls. But again,

688
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: this game was there for the taking and Detroit has

689
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,839
Speaker 1: not been able to find a way to close out

690
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 1: UH these games. And they're two three and one now.

691
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: They have not one this month because they had to

692
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,320
Speaker 1: buy in there as well. Uh and in the division

693
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:05,360
Speaker 1: that they play in. And we you know, we just

694
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 1: talked about how great the Packers were. I think we

695
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,919
Speaker 1: all believe that the Vikings are a team that could

696
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: win eleven plus games potentially. Um, the lie just seem

697
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 1: like they're in deep trouble now and this was the

698
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 1: game that they needed and they couldn't get it done.

699
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 1: They are. Their schedule doesn't ease up, I would say

700
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 1: down the stretch other than the division schedule, but you

701
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: have to win these You're gonna have to win these

702
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: division games, and you're quickly starting to run out. I

703
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 1: just think there are a team with some young parts

704
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 1: that that that you could believe. But they lost what

705
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: carry On Johnson earlier, and this is that their starters

706
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 1: are fine, but if they get a guy like Carrie

707
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: On Johnson or Darius Slay injured from starter to back

708
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 1: up is a chasm for this team. Dan, would you

709
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 1: like to take a sip of your tea? I feel

710
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 1: like I've kind of blocked you out of that because

711
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: of my issue, But you can always stress the cough button.

712
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 1: Then you wouldn't You wouldn't hear it, right? Would be

713
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 1: the considerate does this he there is a point where

714
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: that would be the considerate thing for to do. Really,

715
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 1: it's hard to hold the cough button and take and

716
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 1: move your microphone and talks as you've just I mean,

717
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 1: the struggles we face. The equipment is not cheap, gentlemen.

718
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,359
Speaker 1: So to get crazy with the cough button while you're

719
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: trying to lubricrate, lubricate your throat in a big spot, well,

720
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: I'm not listening to that argument. By the way, that

721
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:28,240
Speaker 1: Adam Feeland hamstring injury um on Football Night in America,

722
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 1: your boy Greg Mike Florio reported that they view a

723
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,319
Speaker 1: potentially as more a week to week rather than day

724
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 1: to day. He ain't playing. They're playing the red Skins

725
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 1: on Thursday, and he now Florio has tuned in with

726
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 1: the Vikings closet Vikings fans. Also, if you're playing out there,

727
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 1: if you're blaming Kirk Cousins for that injury because he

728
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: somehow threw him into the wall, stop it reevaluate your

729
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:51,800
Speaker 1: life choice. Who's somebody's I saw people blaming Kirk Cousins

730
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:53,800
Speaker 1: for that injury, which they thought was some kind of

731
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 1: knee in the wall thing. It turned out to be

732
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 1: a hamstring either way, it wasn't Cousins fault. He's like,

733
00:36:57,719 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: you want to keep honking and complaining about not getting

734
00:36:59,960 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 1: the ball. Here's this wall. Eat the wall, baby, West

735
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 1: and Cousins are gonna be going on vacation together. It's

736
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 1: just like constantly, you guys are the kissing Cousins corner,

737
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:13,839
Speaker 1: going straight to the source. Whatever it is about that guy,

738
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 1: he rubbed some people wrong to such a degree that

739
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 1: everything gets blamed on him. No matter what it is.

740
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 1: You like that, not everybody does U thirteen seconds to go?

741
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 1: Is this game is all but over? Poor man? Rush

742
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 1: case to throw heat for the back. Stody shot to

743
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 1: the nine yard line and I don't do it, and

744
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 1: the Niners were all slotted over the field. They're looking

745
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 1: like a bunch of fools out there, Coolly, but they

746
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 1: they win the game. They win the game, and you

747
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 1: know whats gonna remember that one day? You want who

748
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 1: was that? You know who it was? Larry Michael and

749
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: Chris Cooley. Yes, I I pulled. I had Ricky pull

750
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:58,839
Speaker 1: that because I got some tweets. You gotta check out

751
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 1: the Redskins called the end of the game, crying in

752
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: their beers that was something Nick Bosasa case Keeno to

753
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,799
Speaker 1: run out the clock belly flopped into a slipping slide celebration.

754
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 1: Bosa and the Niners get it done in the elements

755
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 1: driving rain. How come the box scores only showing like

756
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:20,320
Speaker 1: first quarterstats for case Keeno and heavy win questions, claiming

757
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,279
Speaker 1: an ugly nine zip win over the Redskins marked the

758
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:28,439
Speaker 1: Niners are six and over the first time since the job.

759
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:33,839
Speaker 1: No style points were necessary given the conditions. What a beautiful, amazing,

760
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 1: intriguing game this was. And I'm not saying that in

761
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 1: a way that I'm not I'm not poking fun at it.

762
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 1: I truly enjoy these kind of games thrown in occasionally

763
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 1: to the mix of forty two to thirty six, nine

764
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 1: to nothing in a game that took two hours in

765
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 1: thirty six minutes. And I thought to myself, I can't

766
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: remember us being together and watching a game, because this

767
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: is those that I'm looking for, that game special I'm

768
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:00,799
Speaker 1: looking for. I mean, e quote, this is the most

769
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:05,320
Speaker 1: amazing thing I've ever seen Mark Seler around, uh you know,

770
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,879
Speaker 1: one o'clock today. We all want different things in life

771
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: and in football, and and this I thought, this has

772
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:12,840
Speaker 1: got to be the fastest game in a while, and

773
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 1: I shot a note over to NFL Research and they confirmed,

774
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 1: at least since the time we've been together, it is.

775
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 1: And it goes back to Week sixteen of two thousand

776
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 1: and nine when the Jaguars and Patriots played a game

777
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 1: that was also two hours and thirty six minutes. The

778
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 1: reason that happened is because this is the first game

779
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:31,360
Speaker 1: of the year that I can remember outside of some

780
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 1: wind in a couple affairs, where the weather absolutely whatever

781
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: game plan anyone went in with, it was absolutely blown

782
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 1: to pieces by kickoff because the it was you know,

783
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,320
Speaker 1: and if you were watching the video show here or

784
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:46,720
Speaker 1: you were listening to them, the players jumping in puddles

785
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 1: at the end from the first quarter on, any time

786
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 1: a player was brought down to the earth surface, it

787
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 1: was just a gigantic puddle of wet covering them. I mean,

788
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 1: it's the kind of if you've ever played in that,

789
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:59,320
Speaker 1: and I have because I played in Pop Warner and

790
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 1: high school. Guys. Uh, you know, when you're in a

791
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 1: wet weather affair, you're it's it's both What do you

792
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,799
Speaker 1: mean you played in both levels? Yeah, I wouldn't say

793
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 1: I played a lot in high school. It's just sort

794
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 1: of on to be its own podcast. There's a lot

795
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 1: to work with their The deciding factor here was the

796
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 1: Niners defense, and it's not a surprise. It wasn't a

797
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 1: huge challenge obviously, because Bill Callahan decided to run Adrian

798
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:26,800
Speaker 1: Peterson lake. We thought he would four hundred and fifty times.

799
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 1: And the Niners though a hundred and fifty four yards

800
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 1: allowed all game at three point eight yards per carry.

801
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 1: But I would just throw all stats out of this.

802
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 1: It really was about one team needing to get hot

803
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 1: and on one or two tribes and you knew it

804
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 1: was over. And the Niners too that Jimmy g had

805
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,840
Speaker 1: ten yards passing at half. They really couldn't run the

806
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 1: ball either. For a big chunk of this, I am

807
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:49,399
Speaker 1: weirdly invested as of people that listen to every show

808
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:51,360
Speaker 1: or plugged in on this. Maybe a little bit in

809
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson passing Walter Payton on the all time touchdowns lists.

810
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 1: He gets a ton of carries, doesn't find the end zone.

811
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 1: It does remind me of a game, uh if if you,

812
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 1: if you'll let me go down memory lane. In is

813
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 1: a thirteen year old Jets fan. The Jets went to

814
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 1: Washington and won three to nothing, um to improve the

815
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:13,400
Speaker 1: eight and five that year. Then they lost out and

816
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:16,720
Speaker 1: missed the playoffs. But um, it was the same situation,

817
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 1: same exact situation, whereas miserable conditions that nobody could get

818
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 1: anything going. And I guess in d C, you know

819
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 1: they got the Nationals to look forward to this game.

820
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 1: Probably they don't even think about but uh yeah, another

821
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 1: sad day at FedEx. I'd say one quick thing that

822
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 1: the Redskins this game would have taken on a different complexion.

823
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 1: They opened with a twelve play, fifty four yard run

824
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson nine times drive that took up nearly nine

825
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:43,919
Speaker 1: minutes off the clock. That's how you win a game

826
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 1: like this. And they basically were shut down right near

827
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:50,320
Speaker 1: the goal line and missed the field goal. And you

828
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 1: knew at that point I wanted to say game over,

829
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 1: Niners will not lose this, but it went on for

830
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 1: another hour plus without the Niners scoring. I think the

831
00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 1: Niners are a team that can win a lot of

832
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: games in a different type of way without their quarterback

833
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 1: being the deciding factor. Because Jimmy g I like him

834
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 1: a lot, but this is he was not the difference today. Well,

835
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:12,359
Speaker 1: Nick Bosa has weirdly maybe not gotten enough love as

836
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: one of the great pass rushers we've seen and enter

837
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:18,880
Speaker 1: the league. Incredible in our lifetime. Number one on my

838
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: list of defensive rookies list. I mean, I think at

839
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 1: this point he's in the mix for defensive Player of

840
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 1: the Year. I really when you look at the pressure

841
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:29,319
Speaker 1: rates and and especially what he's done since he came

842
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:31,319
Speaker 1: back from the injury. Granted that's only a couple of weeks,

843
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:34,879
Speaker 1: but he dominated this game. Award four tackles for lost.

844
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 1: He's starting to get sacks as well. He got a sack,

845
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 1: four tackles for lost in this game. He's winning almost

846
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 1: every snap. It is crazy to see what he's doing.

847
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:45,759
Speaker 1: And when I watched I went back and watched that

848
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,919
Speaker 1: the Rams game and on the coach they have a chance.

849
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 1: I know it's super early, but they have it. If

850
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk m vps at this point in season,

851
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 1: the defensive line has a chance to be one of

852
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 1: the great defensive lines. If they're totally healthy, they have

853
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 1: a chance to just go like win a Super Bowl

854
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,840
Speaker 1: by themselves. That that group, because Armstead is playing like

855
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,400
Speaker 1: a pro bowler, he's the fourth guy on there. Bosa

856
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,920
Speaker 1: Ford is playing well, Buckner. It's just a crazy group.

857
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 1: And when you if Bosa can stay healthy, he's playing

858
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: at a level as high as almost any pass restaurant.

859
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:17,759
Speaker 1: That's probably lowering a second. But there's so many other

860
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 1: faces on that defense. And the reason they only got

861
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 1: three sacks on case Keenum is because he only had

862
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:25,440
Speaker 1: twelve right attempts today. They kept him out of harm's

863
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:27,359
Speaker 1: way the best they could and they still wreak total

864
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 1: havoc on them. One note on the Redskins. They have

865
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:33,439
Speaker 1: gone a full calendar year between home victories. That's not good.

866
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:36,799
Speaker 1: But don't worry. They were gonna remember that. You're gonna

867
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:39,359
Speaker 1: get back at him in nine when they're when they're

868
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:43,279
Speaker 1: remember the puddles. Oh, two more things about this game

869
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 1: and then we'll move on. There's a lot more. Gave

870
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 1: the game ball to Mike Shanahan hired once upon a time,

871
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:52,840
Speaker 1: So that's a nice little thing. So Mike made the

872
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: visit just for revenge. I gan esque and finally and

873
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:02,320
Speaker 1: just speaks to how rough things are for the Washington

874
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 1: Redskins right now. This is homecoming day and the conditions

875
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 1: I mean what I got washed out basically, or like

876
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 1: go home day, I mean, just get out of there

877
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 1: as quick as possible, And they helped him with the

878
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:15,880
Speaker 1: shortest game in a decade. Mark They say that weather

879
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: is the great equal wiser in football, and your experience

880
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 1: as a peewee football player, did you find that to

881
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 1: be true? The teams that I were on were very

882
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:27,239
Speaker 1: mentally tough, and we had so you know it other

883
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:29,799
Speaker 1: there were other factors. Weather wasn't really something that would

884
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 1: get in our way for the most part. Let's move on.

885
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 1: He takes the quick snack, looking right all the way,

886
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,359
Speaker 1: lots of all the curley out of the backfield, over

887
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:43,760
Speaker 1: the shutter. He brings it in the touchdown to Gurley

888
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 1: with one of the great catches of his career. Back

889
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:51,359
Speaker 1: in Georgia for the first touchdown of the game. He's

890
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 1: the voice of Westchester. J. B. Long of the Rams

891
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 1: Radio network. Jared Goff through for two touchdowns, ran for

892
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,839
Speaker 1: another score, and the Rams rolled over the Falcons thirty

893
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 1: seven ten in the building where their offense melted down

894
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 1: against the Pats in Super Bowl fifty three. The Rams

895
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 1: they had a three game losing streak in the debut

896
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:14,319
Speaker 1: of Jalen Ramsey, who uh West, maybe you can let

897
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 1: us in and what they did to get him on

898
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:18,479
Speaker 1: the field in terms of whether it was tour doll

899
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 1: or a brace, you know whatever. Do get that back

900
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:25,319
Speaker 1: straightened out so they could play anyway? Um, first off,

901
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 1: you do, oh mark a hug for moving out of

902
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 1: the falcons lot lock. I don't know you should get

903
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 1: half of a loss for that. I feel like absolutely not.

904
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:40,799
Speaker 1: And to the score and to the Rams needed this band, Yeah,

905
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:44,759
Speaker 1: that's it's borderline miraculous. I don't know if they brought

906
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,800
Speaker 1: some miracle healer to the scene for Jayalen Rams to

907
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 1: be able to play. But not only was he playing,

908
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 1: he was tracking Julio Jones around the field and Jack

909
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 1: and his jaw the whole first half. And then I

910
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 1: thought one of the big turning points in the game,

911
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:04,800
Speaker 1: Julio Jones beats Ramsey for thirty nine yards. Thenn he

912
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:09,279
Speaker 1: beats Ramsey again down the sideline and the ball right

913
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:11,439
Speaker 1: in his hands. He has to stretch out and dive

914
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 1: and it was so close to being a catch it

915
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 1: would have put them right on the doorstep of the

916
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 1: end zone. He couldn't quite reel it in and the

917
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 1: Falcons never recovered from that, and then the rest of

918
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 1: the game was just a series of points at which

919
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 1: I didn't think the Falcons could get lower, and then

920
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 1: they would. I just underestimated how low the Falcons could get. Well,

921
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 1: doesn't get lower than Matt Ryan getting hurt. Well before that,

922
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 1: Davonte Freeman got ejected for doing something stupid like trying

923
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 1: to pick a fight with Aaron Donald. I don't know

924
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 1: why anyone in the same week someone sucker punch Myles

925
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 1: Garrett Donald. Donald kind of took his manhood by holding

926
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:50,799
Speaker 1: him up basically and walking at the same time. It's

927
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:54,320
Speaker 1: probably the biggest game Freeman's had all year. Ouch. You know,

928
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:57,919
Speaker 1: we're we're sponsored by the Marine Corps, and it don't

929
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 1: impose your will on a man like that. That's disrespectful.

930
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 1: Been posting your will on the other you pick them

931
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:05,840
Speaker 1: up like a little boy, it's disrespectful. You know, the Marines,

932
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 1: we don't, we don't. We don't go for that to ten.

933
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:13,280
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised that the final scored that the Rams scored,

934
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:16,319
Speaker 1: but the fact that the Falcons only scored You're only

935
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 1: a two four yards in a game that Ryan did

936
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 1: play most of it's pretty surprising. It's the same thing

937
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:24,719
Speaker 1: we've seen all year. He was hit on eleven of

938
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 1: his first twenty two dropbacks and no running game because

939
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 1: the running back doesn't make anyone miss, so that's a problem.

940
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,439
Speaker 1: The offensive line is a problem, and then a couple

941
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 1: of near catches. But it was certainly not one of

942
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan's better game. They're in that mix now for

943
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 1: the top because their schedules stuff. They're in that mix

944
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:48,799
Speaker 1: for the top pick. He was hobbling, and word after

945
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:51,440
Speaker 1: the game is that they don't think it's a serious injury.

946
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 1: It looked like something he could probably go out there

947
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:56,759
Speaker 1: and play on in a Patrick Mahomes limited mobility kind

948
00:47:56,800 --> 00:48:00,040
Speaker 1: of what And again a sky Sports earlier today, we

949
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:04,319
Speaker 1: were asked West by Neil Reynolds if dan Quinn could

950
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 1: be out the door sooner rather than later at the

951
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:08,319
Speaker 1: bye week coming up week nine, and it's like, well,

952
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,280
Speaker 1: what does that matter? Sometimes it feels like that's overblown

953
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 1: because it seems like we're nearing a certainty territory that

954
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:17,439
Speaker 1: he'll be let go and he won't be the coach

955
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 1: in what does it really matter if he's let go

956
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:21,239
Speaker 1: when they're one and eight or whatever it will be

957
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:23,279
Speaker 1: at the bye week. The mere question is if they

958
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:26,319
Speaker 1: get rid of Thomas de Mitrof and they really blow

959
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:28,600
Speaker 1: up the whole thing. I don't necessarily think that's a

960
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 1: good idea, but it's it's probably something they're considering. Well.

961
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 1: It's it's usually a little bit easier than we think

962
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:36,120
Speaker 1: to read these things, and it has to do with credibility.

963
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 1: If the coach has lost the locker room and nobody's

964
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 1: buying in anymore. You know, Dion Jones after the game

965
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 1: says we got his back, We're gonna keep fighting, and

966
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:46,279
Speaker 1: and you know, the owner, Arthur Blank said, I still

967
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:49,719
Speaker 1: support dan Quinn. So it doesn't feel like he's lost them.

968
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 1: It just feels like they're lost. They haven't had a sack.

969
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 1: They pop this up up on the screen during the game.

970
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 1: They haven't had a sex since September twenty one. It's

971
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:00,759
Speaker 1: been over three snaps now since they've paid a sound

972
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 1: long way from that playoff game that you guys were

973
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:05,480
Speaker 1: at Sam's Falcon. I mean, it reminds me a little bit,

974
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 1: you know, going back to The Bears, where if you're

975
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 1: Matt Neege and you come out of a game like

976
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:11,520
Speaker 1: this where the offense laid a gigantic egg. It's like,

977
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:13,840
Speaker 1: this is why you were brought in. And dan Quinn's

978
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:16,440
Speaker 1: defense has not been a dan Quinn defense in a

979
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:19,320
Speaker 1: long time. That owner is not a knee jerk reaction

980
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 1: type of guy, though he said he's redistributed some of

981
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 1: the play calling duties on defense. Going back to last week.

982
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:27,960
Speaker 1: Look at this flex on Sunday Night Football. The graphic

983
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:30,800
Speaker 1: most consecutive years is number one ranks show in prime

984
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:34,800
Speaker 1: time Sunday A Football eight seasons, passing American Idol, The

985
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:38,759
Speaker 1: Cosby Show and All in the Family. What a flex. Wow.

986
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:40,800
Speaker 1: We I think that's like the first time in the

987
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:44,680
Speaker 1: middle of that we've both we've broken the fourth while

988
00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:47,440
Speaker 1: we're talking about Sunday Night Football. But that's what did

989
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:53,040
Speaker 1: it for you. I Mean, the NFL occasionally sends these

990
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:56,359
Speaker 1: tweets out where it's a the top twenty five programs

991
00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 1: of the last you know, three months in all twenty

992
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 1: five and FL games, and it's just the league being like, hey,

993
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:04,040
Speaker 1: you say our league is down, here's a bunch of

994
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 1: middle fingers. That's when you if you want, that's how

995
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:09,719
Speaker 1: I read it, at least if you know you want

996
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 1: to know why Al Michaels has four rolls Royce's in Malibu.

997
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:17,040
Speaker 1: What else is on right now? That's right unless you're

998
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:19,800
Speaker 1: like you know, DVR in sixty minutes and watching it

999
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:21,839
Speaker 1: for the third time in its total. It's any show

1000
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:26,239
Speaker 1: and any you know. They just dominate the landscape. That's like, uh,

1001
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 1: seventy minutes mark, no competition. Let's move on this river

1002
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 1: that takes the stamp, gives it to Gordon get in. No,

1003
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:39,400
Speaker 1: he did not. Mcclock is stopped with seven seconds to go.

1004
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:42,520
Speaker 1: There's a lot of discussion. I don't know what this

1005
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:45,239
Speaker 1: is about. I'm not sure why the Titans defense took

1006
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 1: off running and he's losing the ball. He appears to be.

1007
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:51,480
Speaker 1: He's losing the ball. That's what it is. The ball

1008
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:54,759
Speaker 1: is coming out and Woodyard, I think he is the

1009
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:58,800
Speaker 1: man who recovered it. That's what this is. That's what

1010
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:02,800
Speaker 1: it is. We wouldn't see it. The typees have recovered

1011
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:05,960
Speaker 1: the football. That's why they came running out. If it's

1012
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:09,480
Speaker 1: ruled a fumble, which it should be, the Titans have

1013
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:12,919
Speaker 1: won this game. We've never had an ending like this here,

1014
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:19,239
Speaker 1: Mike Key, beautiful call that Titans radio network. Oh my god,

1015
00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:23,759
Speaker 1: Darrell Casey, is this the song check uses. It's gonna

1016
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:27,560
Speaker 1: put us in the crosshairs. Might have to scrub this one.

1017
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:31,160
Speaker 1: There's no way he listens, that's true. Darrell Casey recovered

1018
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:33,160
Speaker 1: a fumble by Melvin Gordon at the goal line with

1019
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:39,120
Speaker 1: fifteen seconds to play. The Titans somehow pulled out over

1020
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:42,640
Speaker 1: the Chargers and the dirt neat dirt knat ball, as

1021
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:46,640
Speaker 1: we I believe titled it, Welcome to the Underworld. The

1022
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:53,760
Speaker 1: Chargers greg Even by the standards of the Los Angeles Chargers,

1023
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:58,239
Speaker 1: this loss was absurd. No, this was something special, This

1024
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 1: was something different. Unfortunately I had I had to trade this.

1025
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:05,160
Speaker 1: I had to trade for this game, had the pleasure

1026
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:07,200
Speaker 1: of watching it. This may go down as one of

1027
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:10,160
Speaker 1: the greatest trades, UH since Steve Young to the fort

1028
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:13,080
Speaker 1: I mean, let's let's not act like it was a trade.

1029
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:17,520
Speaker 1: You basically imposed your You are very nice and you

1030
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:19,560
Speaker 1: know what, if you're listening for the first time, you

1031
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 1: have no idea what. Yeah, we we trade the assignment.

1032
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 1: This game was insane how it ended, and we can

1033
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 1: talk more about the rest of the game, but the

1034
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:30,719
Speaker 1: ending sequence where Melvin Gordon got a chance to lose

1035
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:33,800
Speaker 1: the game for the Chargers drives me crazy because Melvin

1036
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 1: Gordon got way too many chances to lose this game

1037
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 1: for the Chargers. Sixteen carries thirty two yards. Got the

1038
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 1: ball three different times on the goal line. The first

1039
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:45,280
Speaker 1: time in the first half, he was he was stuffed

1040
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:47,480
Speaker 1: and he kind of almost fumbled it. They didn't call

1041
00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:49,520
Speaker 1: it a fumble. There was some debate whether it was

1042
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:51,800
Speaker 1: a fumble or not. They end up scoring on a

1043
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:54,879
Speaker 1: throw to Gordon the next play. This time they get

1044
00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:56,600
Speaker 1: the ball back on the goal line. There's some back

1045
00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:58,719
Speaker 1: and forth, there's a false start, there's a whole lot

1046
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:02,239
Speaker 1: of everything, like two overturned touchdowns where the Chargers thought

1047
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:05,279
Speaker 1: they had won. But the reality is Gordon fumbled on

1048
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:08,880
Speaker 1: the goal line, which you absolutely cannot do, and he

1049
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:12,160
Speaker 1: recovered it, and then Anthony Lynn gave him the ball back,

1050
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:14,600
Speaker 1: or whoever's calling them, Blake Ken wizzen Hunt gave him

1051
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:17,439
Speaker 1: the ball back again, and he fumbled it again, which

1052
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:21,240
Speaker 1: is just insane and drives me crazy because Austin Ekeler

1053
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:23,719
Speaker 1: is the only reason they were in this game. They

1054
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 1: were down ten with six minutes to go, and I

1055
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:28,920
Speaker 1: said to West the Chargers are like one of those

1056
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:31,400
Speaker 1: dogs who start clearing the way, you know, for when

1057
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:33,319
Speaker 1: they want to take a nap. They were, they were

1058
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:36,080
Speaker 1: digging up the dirt. Ten points down, six minutes to go,

1059
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:38,480
Speaker 1: but they came back about as fast as you possibly

1060
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:41,880
Speaker 1: could because of Austin Ekeler as a receiver doing everything,

1061
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:43,960
Speaker 1: and then you give the ball to Gordon to lose it.

1062
00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:46,920
Speaker 1: Not even good animal analogy, just thrown it. Not even

1063
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:50,719
Speaker 1: your best analogy. At one point you seem to compare. Uh,

1064
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:53,440
Speaker 1: you had a plumbing analogy in which Austin Ekeler was

1065
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:56,440
Speaker 1: somehow drain oh and Gordon was a ball of tangles

1066
00:53:56,640 --> 00:53:59,520
Speaker 1: clogging the toilet. Is the toilet clogger, called him the

1067
00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:03,400
Speaker 1: antipe luncher. This backfield, to me shows how good NFL

1068
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:08,359
Speaker 1: players are. And I'd love to see a coach after

1069
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:11,680
Speaker 1: a holdout. Don't let that guy back on the field

1070
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:14,880
Speaker 1: until he proves that he's better than the guy he's replacing.

1071
00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 1: And Gordon has not proven that, missing training camp and

1072
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 1: missing September. He's a better player than Austin Ekeler. You

1073
00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 1: need that practice. You're absolutely right, and there was a

1074
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:27,120
Speaker 1: mandate right away. We're gonna get him on there, he's

1075
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:29,919
Speaker 1: gonna see playing time. In the three games he's back there,

1076
00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:32,839
Speaker 1: owing three not all his fault, but he's not helped.

1077
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:36,560
Speaker 1: He has a combined less than one hundred yards at

1078
00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:40,240
Speaker 1: less than two point five yards per carry over three games,

1079
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:43,800
Speaker 1: all losses for the Chargers, who are now, as Dan mentioned,

1080
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:46,880
Speaker 1: six to seven ft under the earth. You're you're enjoying

1081
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 1: the end of this game, Dan, because it was just

1082
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:52,080
Speaker 1: it was a slow motion car crash that you couldn't

1083
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:55,880
Speaker 1: believe what was happening. Yeah, it was. Before what proceeded

1084
00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:59,959
Speaker 1: the Gordon fubble was two touchdown scores with the OFFICI

1085
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:01,759
Speaker 1: was rule touchdown and then they got called back. On

1086
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:03,480
Speaker 1: our view, it is so clunky at the end of

1087
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:05,279
Speaker 1: the game. It took about forty five minutes to play

1088
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:08,360
Speaker 1: the last minute of the game. Um. But yeah, I

1089
00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:12,120
Speaker 1: think for me and some of my more higher moments

1090
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:14,480
Speaker 1: of self loathing around the Jets when things are going bad,

1091
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:18,680
Speaker 1: I'll point out that nobody really knows how to lose

1092
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:21,600
Speaker 1: and and shock you with their dysfunction and failure. Like

1093
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:24,040
Speaker 1: the Jets are just really good at thinking up new ways.

1094
00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:28,239
Speaker 1: The Chargers fans and their fans, they get it as well,

1095
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:31,759
Speaker 1: because there there's only one team that would figure out

1096
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:34,360
Speaker 1: a way to blow that game, and it's the Chargers.

1097
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:37,239
Speaker 1: At worst, they you would have thought they could have

1098
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:38,879
Speaker 1: kicked the field goal there, although they're on the one

1099
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:42,280
Speaker 1: in line with seconds left. It's it's such a unique

1100
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:46,080
Speaker 1: Chargers thing to fail that way where they got in

1101
00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 1: the end zone twice, got called back twice, and then

1102
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:51,279
Speaker 1: you give it to the guy you definitely shouldn't give

1103
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:54,279
Speaker 1: it to. You're basically daring the football gods to smite you,

1104
00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:56,040
Speaker 1: and they say, all right, if you if you want

1105
00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:58,560
Speaker 1: us to, we'll do it. And who's left holding the

1106
00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:01,759
Speaker 1: bad Chargers fans who've been suffering for years and years

1107
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:04,479
Speaker 1: and years. One question, Greg, because this was the Ryan

1108
00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:09,560
Speaker 1: Tannehill experience beginning, and there was an interesting report that

1109
00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:13,240
Speaker 1: he and his agent or his report essentially the information

1110
00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:17,680
Speaker 1: came from the agent that they handpicked Titanians. Report that

1111
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 1: because the Titans felt like the team where a quarterback

1112
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:23,919
Speaker 1: in place would either a get hurt or be lose

1113
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:25,920
Speaker 1: the job due to performance, which is a weird thing

1114
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:28,879
Speaker 1: for in the locker room. I would imagine to come out,

1115
00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:32,680
Speaker 1: you know, in the middle of preparation for weeks since sports. Yeah,

1116
00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:37,360
Speaker 1: that is weird. It's part I know, the kind of everything.

1117
00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:41,040
Speaker 1: But Ryan Tannehill played well today. He threw the ball

1118
00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:45,520
Speaker 1: really well. He Delanney Walker made a quote, had a quote.

1119
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:47,680
Speaker 1: They said, what's the difference between you know, Tanneheill Marriot

1120
00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:49,560
Speaker 1: And he said, well, he throws it harder and he

1121
00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:52,200
Speaker 1: gets rid of the ball faster. I was like, those

1122
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:55,640
Speaker 1: are those are two good things now in Tannehill fashion.

1123
00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:58,960
Speaker 1: This was a good Tannehill game where he threw it

1124
00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:03,319
Speaker 1: really well but still had an interception in two fumbles. Uh,

1125
00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:05,360
Speaker 1: and he took a couple of hits since in the

1126
00:57:05,480 --> 00:57:07,719
Speaker 1: second half and in the interception came on on a

1127
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:10,440
Speaker 1: hit that was maybe not his fault. But this was

1128
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:12,239
Speaker 1: actually a game where the offense has moved the ball

1129
00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:15,200
Speaker 1: quite well. There's only eight possessions each. It was just

1130
00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 1: like a long slope. If you like long slope possessions

1131
00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:21,400
Speaker 1: that end in misery, this is your game. You had

1132
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:23,640
Speaker 1: the day I could have had, Greg and I know

1133
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:25,880
Speaker 1: Tytoons fans out there as some of you don't like

1134
00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:28,800
Speaker 1: me very much, but a lot of my frustration and

1135
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:32,720
Speaker 1: doubt of that organization was always around Mariota, who looks

1136
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:35,080
Speaker 1: like he's out of the picture. So he's gone. Now

1137
00:57:35,080 --> 00:57:37,240
Speaker 1: you gotta get rid of the uniforms. That's that's a

1138
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:42,320
Speaker 1: grizzly look. The next billet point. It's not nearly as

1139
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:44,640
Speaker 1: important as a quarterback. But I just I just think

1140
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:46,960
Speaker 1: they need to reboot the and the whole logo thing,

1141
00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:49,360
Speaker 1: clear it all out and start again. I feel like

1142
00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:54,040
Speaker 1: they're not out of the quarterbacks. You hain't everything of

1143
00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:56,920
Speaker 1: the logo there three and four. I mean, this was

1144
00:57:56,960 --> 00:57:58,680
Speaker 1: a big I know you guys don't think so, but

1145
00:57:58,720 --> 00:58:00,440
Speaker 1: I think it was a big game, especially looking at

1146
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:04,040
Speaker 1: ball teams upcoming. Well, the first round pick came and

1147
00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:08,200
Speaker 1: played Jeffrey Simmons. Okay, Jeffrey Simmons was one of the

1148
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:10,680
Speaker 1: stories of the day. He's returning from a torn a

1149
00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:14,240
Speaker 1: c L that he suffered while preparing for the combine

1150
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:18,720
Speaker 1: this insane and insane comeback, and he was maybe their

1151
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:21,240
Speaker 1: best defensive player. He had a sack, he had two

1152
00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 1: tackles for loss, he had a QB hit, and he's

1153
00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:27,600
Speaker 1: made Someone pointed out he's made a bigger impact in

1154
00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:30,320
Speaker 1: terms of tackles for loss and QB hits than Quentin

1155
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:32,600
Speaker 1: Williams at Oliver and I forget who the other first

1156
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:35,200
Speaker 1: round defensive tackles. In one game, he had a really

1157
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:36,840
Speaker 1: great game for them. So that I kind of believe

1158
00:58:36,880 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 1: in Mike Rabel. I don't know, I'm not sure always

1159
00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:42,040
Speaker 1: why that is, but I kind of just maybe on

1160
00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:45,240
Speaker 1: defense and special teams, I don't believe in anything this

1161
00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:47,600
Speaker 1: team has. I like to look at all A J. Brown,

1162
00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:50,400
Speaker 1: these teams looked very even though well they could have lost,

1163
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:52,400
Speaker 1: and we would, they would be seven feet under the ground.

1164
00:58:52,680 --> 00:58:55,120
Speaker 1: Between six and seven feet. That's the Chargers instead as

1165
00:58:55,160 --> 00:58:59,160
Speaker 1: a child mark of the seventies, okay, in the mustache,

1166
00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:02,080
Speaker 1: which was there's nothing more paternal than the mustache. In

1167
00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:04,640
Speaker 1: the eighties, it was the dad. Look, I think that's

1168
00:59:04,720 --> 00:59:07,000
Speaker 1: what you're connecting with. Yeah, but I wouldn't trust he's

1169
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:09,960
Speaker 1: got broad shoulders. Uh, he's a guy. I'll protect you,

1170
00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:11,880
Speaker 1: I'll take you through the darkness, And I think that's

1171
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:14,280
Speaker 1: what's sitting up. You're not totally wrong on some of that,

1172
00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:16,320
Speaker 1: But my dad never had a mustache, so I'm not

1173
00:59:16,440 --> 00:59:22,360
Speaker 1: interested in someone else's dad can worms. But I like

1174
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:27,960
Speaker 1: I generally grew up the mustaches where Tad creepy cops

1175
00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:31,440
Speaker 1: had them ravels like the dad you've never had. I'm

1176
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:34,160
Speaker 1: not sure that's it. Either I'm not. We can keep trying,

1177
00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:35,920
Speaker 1: or we can move on. I don't know. All right,

1178
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:40,600
Speaker 1: let's move on. First down at the Josh takes his snap,

1179
00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:44,600
Speaker 1: looks fire straight down the middle of Tecks down, Tecks down,

1180
00:59:44,680 --> 00:59:50,000
Speaker 1: bum John Down, ticks down down. An excellent crow bought

1181
00:59:50,080 --> 00:59:52,880
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. John Brown running up the seam. He goes

1182
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:55,240
Speaker 1: in motion and he runs up the scene working on

1183
00:59:55,440 --> 00:59:58,480
Speaker 1: Ryan Lewis beats him to the inside against man coverage,

1184
00:59:58,520 --> 01:00:00,520
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen knew exactly what where he was going

1185
01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:04,400
Speaker 1: with the football to John Brown, John Murphy and Eric

1186
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:08,680
Speaker 1: Would of the Bills Radio network. Smoke John Brown's nickname.

1187
01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:10,320
Speaker 1: I thought it was Smokey. Well, a lot of people

1188
01:00:10,360 --> 01:00:12,560
Speaker 1: call him smuck. That's cool, That's fine with me. Uh

1189
01:00:12,680 --> 01:00:14,360
Speaker 1: he you know, he's had a he's had a good

1190
01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:15,960
Speaker 1: role with that team, and he's having a nice season.

1191
01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:19,280
Speaker 1: True number one, and um, he wasn't the only star

1192
01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 1: for the Bills. Tradeabus White force two second half turnovers.

1193
01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:27,120
Speaker 1: Uh Mika Hyde returned an onside kick for a touchdown.

1194
01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:31,360
Speaker 1: The Bills rally from a five point the devasit win

1195
01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:33,800
Speaker 1: over the Miami Dolphins, who are still looking for their

1196
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:38,640
Speaker 1: first win, but incremental progress. I feel like west White

1197
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:41,920
Speaker 1: saved the Bills from potential's humiliation on Sunday. Yeah, he

1198
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:44,680
Speaker 1: was the difference in the game. Um on a day. Well,

1199
01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:46,320
Speaker 1: it's a second week in a row where you look

1200
01:00:46,360 --> 01:00:48,440
Speaker 1: at the Dolphins offense and say, yeah, they're much better

1201
01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:51,600
Speaker 1: with Brian Fitzpatrick. As we've said, that could change in

1202
01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:53,760
Speaker 1: a week or two when he's throwing everything up for grabs,

1203
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:56,920
Speaker 1: but he he calls out the protections better. You can

1204
01:00:56,960 --> 01:00:59,400
Speaker 1: see that that the offensive line plays better for him

1205
01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:02,320
Speaker 1: than they do for Josh Rosen uh Mark Walton looked

1206
01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:05,000
Speaker 1: really good running the ball. Preston Williams and DeVante Parker.

1207
01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:07,800
Speaker 1: You you can find worse wide receiver duos than those two.

1208
01:01:08,200 --> 01:01:11,120
Speaker 1: The Dolphins did not look inept and they finished their

1209
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:13,919
Speaker 1: touchdown drives, whereas the Bills were settling for field goals.

1210
01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:19,200
Speaker 1: And then Matt Hawk, the Dolphins punter, took a faith

1211
01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:21,960
Speaker 1: field goal up the gut and was tackled just shy

1212
01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:23,880
Speaker 1: of the goal line. It looked like the Dolphins we're

1213
01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:25,960
Speaker 1: gonna get another score. They were already in the lead.

1214
01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:28,680
Speaker 1: They're gonna put this maybe out of reach, and then

1215
01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:32,000
Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips strip sec, Dolphins fall on the ball, and

1216
01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:36,160
Speaker 1: then trad As White next play diving interception. Josh Allen

1217
01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:38,080
Speaker 1: gets the ball, goes six for six on the drive,

1218
01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:42,360
Speaker 1: touchdown to John Brown. Next series for the Dolphins, Tradavious

1219
01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:45,320
Speaker 1: White forces a fumble and then the game's basically over

1220
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:48,560
Speaker 1: from there. Tradevious White saved them, And for all we've

1221
01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:53,440
Speaker 1: knocked Josh Allen, I think he's less predictably bad then

1222
01:01:53,520 --> 01:01:56,640
Speaker 1: guys like Trabinsky, where Mark you had that stat where

1223
01:01:56,680 --> 01:01:59,040
Speaker 1: it was like nine straight series or whatever he couldn't

1224
01:01:59,080 --> 01:02:01,240
Speaker 1: get ten yards. I think just when you think that

1225
01:02:01,320 --> 01:02:04,720
Speaker 1: you have a handle on Josh Allen being a bad player,

1226
01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:07,280
Speaker 1: he does things like that six for six drive, and

1227
01:02:07,360 --> 01:02:09,840
Speaker 1: he uses his legs and I'll throw a touch pass

1228
01:02:09,920 --> 01:02:11,280
Speaker 1: once in a while where you think, if this guy

1229
01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:14,400
Speaker 1: can put it together, he really is a dynamic athlete.

1230
01:02:14,480 --> 01:02:17,240
Speaker 1: It seemed like he was always the quarterback where when

1231
01:02:17,320 --> 01:02:21,000
Speaker 1: he's doing something in the positive column, it might be

1232
01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:24,760
Speaker 1: so incredibly athletically unbelievable that you have to have him

1233
01:02:24,800 --> 01:02:28,040
Speaker 1: on your team. And that's why certain scouts, he's only

1234
01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:30,960
Speaker 1: the guy who can be throwing less than fifty percent

1235
01:02:31,080 --> 01:02:34,480
Speaker 1: completions first half against the two thousand, nineteen Miami Dolphins,

1236
01:02:34,680 --> 01:02:37,040
Speaker 1: which when you start playing, he's also the guy who

1237
01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:39,160
Speaker 1: can be ten for eleven for a hundred eleven yards

1238
01:02:39,160 --> 01:02:41,760
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns that's happened to win the game. You've

1239
01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:44,000
Speaker 1: told me all year that none of these games against

1240
01:02:44,040 --> 01:02:48,240
Speaker 1: the Dolphins count basically or mean much, and so that's

1241
01:02:48,280 --> 01:02:50,880
Speaker 1: a team like you just wanted to get shots in

1242
01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:53,640
Speaker 1: at Josh Allen. Here, I'm just say with our podcast,

1243
01:02:53,720 --> 01:02:56,320
Speaker 1: there are three things in life that you can count on,

1244
01:02:56,480 --> 01:02:58,960
Speaker 1: death taxes and Gregg taking pot shots at Josh Allen.

1245
01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:01,960
Speaker 1: It's not potshots. I'm a saying if we're gonna be consistent,

1246
01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:05,440
Speaker 1: they've been consistent, like they need to be better on

1247
01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:08,800
Speaker 1: offense against the Miami Dolphins, that's all. I don't think

1248
01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:12,280
Speaker 1: he's say anything out of I mean absolutely is. I

1249
01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:14,640
Speaker 1: don't think you say anything wrong. I'm just amused by

1250
01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:16,360
Speaker 1: you're always the guy to jump in and say, but

1251
01:03:16,520 --> 01:03:20,800
Speaker 1: actually he's terrible. He hasn't played well at all this year. Well,

1252
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:27,760
Speaker 1: if you're from last year, I think he's been one

1253
01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:29,600
Speaker 1: of the bottom six. I'm just saying, in a league

1254
01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:32,240
Speaker 1: where there's so many good quarterbacks, he's one of the

1255
01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:34,520
Speaker 1: bottom five or six, and that hurts. That hurts you.

1256
01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:37,640
Speaker 1: But you also never factor in his running ability, which

1257
01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:40,120
Speaker 1: for him is a big part of his game at

1258
01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:44,920
Speaker 1: five and one, not to also be a wet blanket here. Um,

1259
01:03:46,720 --> 01:03:48,840
Speaker 1: it's been a pretty soft five and one start. I

1260
01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:53,000
Speaker 1: still need to see some you know, Marky wins before

1261
01:03:53,040 --> 01:03:55,920
Speaker 1: you start saying this a team that has the defense

1262
01:03:56,040 --> 01:03:58,160
Speaker 1: and makes enough players on offense too, shocks and people

1263
01:03:58,160 --> 01:04:00,600
Speaker 1: in January. Maybe he still needs a little bit more

1264
01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:02,440
Speaker 1: from the bill. Well, don't you think that we always

1265
01:04:02,680 --> 01:04:05,160
Speaker 1: look at teams that jump out two starts like this

1266
01:04:05,360 --> 01:04:09,440
Speaker 1: in unorthodox defense or special teams first fashion with a

1267
01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:12,440
Speaker 1: sideways view, because it's got to come from offense or

1268
01:04:12,480 --> 01:04:14,520
Speaker 1: we don't believe in it. We have after the Eagles

1269
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:17,120
Speaker 1: next week, they play a slate of teams that don't

1270
01:04:17,160 --> 01:04:20,400
Speaker 1: have more than two wins four more in a row, Redskins, Browns, Dolphins,

1271
01:04:20,440 --> 01:04:22,280
Speaker 1: and Broncos. Not. Well, there'll be eleven and five. Have

1272
01:04:22,360 --> 01:04:24,400
Speaker 1: no problem with them being eleven and five, or even

1273
01:04:25,280 --> 01:04:27,800
Speaker 1: maybe eleven and five. And then what happens from there

1274
01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:31,000
Speaker 1: when you I think they have the pieces to play

1275
01:04:31,080 --> 01:04:34,280
Speaker 1: better on offense. I think Alan can be corral, I

1276
01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:36,000
Speaker 1: think they can be bad. But if he's at bottom

1277
01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:41,000
Speaker 1: six quarterback, you have to, even in this offseason, think

1278
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:43,479
Speaker 1: about what you're doing a quarterback. And outside of Tradavis White,

1279
01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:47,840
Speaker 1: their defense was not that impressive today. All right, let's uh,

1280
01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:51,840
Speaker 1: let's finish out the rest of this uh Sunday Slates

1281
01:04:56,360 --> 01:04:59,640
Speaker 1: screen picked off by Unique and got White to the

1282
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:05,080
Speaker 1: into the five touchdown Big six King Dockway extends the

1283
01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:08,480
Speaker 1: league for Jacksonville. Can you hear the hammer counting on

1284
01:05:08,560 --> 01:05:17,440
Speaker 1: the nails? That's the nail and the Frank Frangie And

1285
01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:19,680
Speaker 1: I don't know if that was Jeff Loghman, my boy

1286
01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:27,320
Speaker 1: Lockhaman or Tony Basselli, but somebody was launching attacks. Jaguars

1287
01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:32,640
Speaker 1: Radio Network, No Jalen Ramsey, no problem. Unique and Gockway

1288
01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:36,160
Speaker 1: returned in interception twenty three yards to the house, clinching

1289
01:05:36,160 --> 01:05:40,560
Speaker 1: a seventeen win for the Jags over the Bengals. Still

1290
01:05:41,080 --> 01:05:44,880
Speaker 1: looking for that first dub west side of Cincinnati, Quiet

1291
01:05:44,880 --> 01:05:50,520
Speaker 1: agains they never stay there. Chilly Tonight Mark feels like

1292
01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:54,440
Speaker 1: a seventies rock song. Mark. It was part of a

1293
01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:58,360
Speaker 1: huge defensive showing for the Jacks who stuck Andy Dalton

1294
01:05:58,400 --> 01:06:03,560
Speaker 1: on a stick and made him the ginger haired scarecrow forever. Yeah,

1295
01:06:03,600 --> 01:06:06,440
Speaker 1: I don't know how to follow that up. Put that

1296
01:06:06,520 --> 01:06:09,480
Speaker 1: in your power. I appreciate that because you've come up

1297
01:06:09,520 --> 01:06:13,640
Speaker 1: with something, a new way to describe the Ay Dalton experience.

1298
01:06:13,720 --> 01:06:17,360
Speaker 1: And I anyone who watched the end of this game,

1299
01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:22,080
Speaker 1: you are dealing with a quarterback that threw three interceptions

1300
01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:26,240
Speaker 1: over the course of five attempts in three possessions that

1301
01:06:26,400 --> 01:06:30,040
Speaker 1: utterly buried Cincinnati's chance to take a game where they

1302
01:06:30,080 --> 01:06:33,480
Speaker 1: were very much in a manageable situation to win against

1303
01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:38,160
Speaker 1: the Jaguars offense that put together drives of nine, eleven,

1304
01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:41,400
Speaker 1: nine and twelve plays move the ball, but could not

1305
01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:45,120
Speaker 1: score field goal after field goal. They finally did punch

1306
01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:47,800
Speaker 1: it in and that separated them from Cincinnati. But the

1307
01:06:47,840 --> 01:06:49,960
Speaker 1: Bengals had a chance. And I get it. Look at

1308
01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:52,960
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton, is, you know, working with an offense where

1309
01:06:52,960 --> 01:06:56,280
Speaker 1: Alex Erickson had to catch eight passes today to be

1310
01:06:56,360 --> 01:06:59,680
Speaker 1: the leading receiver and they cannot get anything going on

1311
01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:02,200
Speaker 1: the round their running game, and it has to do

1312
01:07:02,280 --> 01:07:05,320
Speaker 1: with their offensive line hit me. This is one of

1313
01:07:05,400 --> 01:07:08,200
Speaker 1: the most amazing statue here. In a first half of

1314
01:07:08,240 --> 01:07:10,640
Speaker 1: the season to this point, the Bengals have rush for

1315
01:07:10,720 --> 01:07:14,040
Speaker 1: three hundred seventy two yards. Their opponents have rushed for

1316
01:07:14,160 --> 01:07:17,560
Speaker 1: one thousand, three hundred twenty three yards. They are outgamed

1317
01:07:17,600 --> 01:07:21,520
Speaker 1: by nearly a thousand yards. Seven weeks this season, there

1318
01:07:21,560 --> 01:07:23,880
Speaker 1: on pace for the worst rushing team in the Super

1319
01:07:23,960 --> 01:07:27,120
Speaker 1: Bowl era before this game. And then well and they

1320
01:07:27,240 --> 01:07:30,200
Speaker 1: and they gave up to sixteen today And so that's

1321
01:07:30,320 --> 01:07:32,640
Speaker 1: that's been the thing week after week is their line

1322
01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:36,600
Speaker 1: on both sides are totally dominated. So you can't just

1323
01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:38,840
Speaker 1: look at Andy Dalton and their running backs ran for

1324
01:07:39,440 --> 01:07:41,800
Speaker 1: it called runs with zero yards. That's hard to do

1325
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:46,080
Speaker 1: and runs for zero yards Joe mixing ten rushes for

1326
01:07:46,160 --> 01:07:49,080
Speaker 1: two for two yards. We figured out Andy Dalton years ago.

1327
01:07:49,160 --> 01:07:51,640
Speaker 1: He rises and falls based on what he has around him,

1328
01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:54,720
Speaker 1: and now he has. He's never had anything worse around

1329
01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:56,200
Speaker 1: him than he has now now he's worse than he

1330
01:07:56,280 --> 01:07:59,240
Speaker 1: ever was. He needs a fresh start in Chicago. He

1331
01:07:59,320 --> 01:08:01,400
Speaker 1: needs the ghost where well I don't that would have

1332
01:08:01,480 --> 01:08:04,640
Speaker 1: a chance to um get his career back on track.

1333
01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:08,800
Speaker 1: Because both sides need a refresh here. I just turned

1334
01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:11,840
Speaker 1: around pick for Andy Dalton at the trading deadline, who says, no,

1335
01:08:12,280 --> 01:08:16,920
Speaker 1: just do it bad that that that that would be

1336
01:08:17,120 --> 01:08:19,720
Speaker 1: interesting would be done a second. The problem ones with

1337
01:08:19,760 --> 01:08:22,040
Speaker 1: with with Zach Taylor and the Bengals is I don't know.

1338
01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:23,600
Speaker 1: I know they're trying to run a certain type of

1339
01:08:23,640 --> 01:08:26,200
Speaker 1: offense that he's familiar with. You can't have Andy Dalton

1340
01:08:26,320 --> 01:08:29,560
Speaker 1: throwing the ball forty three times in this with what

1341
01:08:29,680 --> 01:08:33,519
Speaker 1: he has around them. I get that, but the whole

1342
01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:37,799
Speaker 1: thing is so broken down, and it's just the Jaguars

1343
01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:39,800
Speaker 1: were no treat either, but they saved their season because

1344
01:08:39,920 --> 01:08:43,800
Speaker 1: they lost this, your boy, Minshew, they moved the ball.

1345
01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:45,680
Speaker 1: I mean it again. They just couldn't. They can't. They

1346
01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:48,479
Speaker 1: struggle and they've done this all year long, closing drives

1347
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:51,200
Speaker 1: because they get into the red zone and it falls apart.

1348
01:08:51,280 --> 01:08:54,639
Speaker 1: But he still throws the ball aggressively. Gardner Minshew also

1349
01:08:55,120 --> 01:08:57,559
Speaker 1: is you know he's not Josh Allen, but he had

1350
01:08:57,600 --> 01:08:59,680
Speaker 1: a couple of keys scrambles today. They kept the drive

1351
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:01,880
Speaker 1: drives live every game. He's gonna give you that. And

1352
01:09:01,960 --> 01:09:04,960
Speaker 1: he did not throw an interception. And for me, it's

1353
01:09:05,040 --> 01:09:06,920
Speaker 1: like this is a guy that you can ride with

1354
01:09:08,439 --> 01:09:11,479
Speaker 1: six more yards than the Bengals running backs combined. O God,

1355
01:09:11,920 --> 01:09:16,439
Speaker 1: all right, let's close out the pre Sunday night football slate.

1356
01:09:16,960 --> 01:09:20,040
Speaker 1: The Cardinals have a first intent of the Giant hand

1357
01:09:20,080 --> 01:09:23,040
Speaker 1: off Edands here. Look is he gonna do it again? Yes?

1358
01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:27,240
Speaker 1: He is put down. Chase Edmonds has three touchdown runs

1359
01:09:29,160 --> 01:09:32,080
Speaker 1: and now two. This game was supposed to be about

1360
01:09:32,120 --> 01:09:35,840
Speaker 1: the return of se Kwon Barkley. Instead, their star running

1361
01:09:35,880 --> 01:09:40,280
Speaker 1: back was Cardinals backup Chase Edmonds, who rushed for a

1362
01:09:40,360 --> 01:09:43,840
Speaker 1: career high and twenty six yards a career high three

1363
01:09:43,920 --> 01:09:50,800
Speaker 1: touchdowns Over the gaming at the Meadowlands, Greg Cardinal sack

1364
01:09:50,880 --> 01:09:54,600
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones eight times too. Maybe they're not terrible, or

1365
01:09:54,720 --> 01:09:58,560
Speaker 1: maybe the Giants are. I mean they're not terrible. The

1366
01:09:58,680 --> 01:10:00,880
Speaker 1: little Cardinals are wondering, well, what do we gotta do

1367
01:10:01,080 --> 01:10:03,559
Speaker 1: Dan to move up in the rundown. We've won three straight,

1368
01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:07,000
Speaker 1: we haven't lost in all of October. We've got Chase Edmonds,

1369
01:10:07,040 --> 01:10:10,480
Speaker 1: a five nine running back out of Fordham University, outshining

1370
01:10:10,600 --> 01:10:14,559
Speaker 1: sae Quon Barkley. I mean, Chase Edmonds has been week.

1371
01:10:15,479 --> 01:10:18,040
Speaker 1: The three teams they've beaten could not be worse. I

1372
01:10:18,120 --> 01:10:20,720
Speaker 1: think they've won to combine three games, so I get it,

1373
01:10:20,960 --> 01:10:23,400
Speaker 1: but they only won three games all of last season.

1374
01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:26,479
Speaker 1: And the running game that Cliff Kingsbury has brought to

1375
01:10:26,560 --> 01:10:30,200
Speaker 1: Arizona travels because you didn't have David Johnson today. They

1376
01:10:30,280 --> 01:10:32,639
Speaker 1: started him, he had one carry and then he didn't

1377
01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:37,280
Speaker 1: play again, and Edmonds carried them along with the defense

1378
01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:41,040
Speaker 1: led by Chandler Jones, who had four sacks all by himself.

1379
01:10:41,560 --> 01:10:45,200
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones sacked eight times. Daniel Jones fumbled three times,

1380
01:10:45,280 --> 01:10:48,840
Speaker 1: had an interception. He has now thrown seven picks and

1381
01:10:49,160 --> 01:10:53,440
Speaker 1: has five fumbles in his five starts. And it's disappointing

1382
01:10:53,439 --> 01:10:54,960
Speaker 1: because this was the game you're kind of waiting for

1383
01:10:55,360 --> 01:10:58,800
Speaker 1: where you had Ingram and Barkley and Tate all on

1384
01:10:58,920 --> 01:11:03,000
Speaker 1: the field together. Ingram had a disastrous game, Barkley was fine,

1385
01:11:03,200 --> 01:11:06,120
Speaker 1: and the Giants offense was really kind of the lagging

1386
01:11:06,240 --> 01:11:09,360
Speaker 1: group of this game in a rainstorm. Yeah, I get it.

1387
01:11:09,479 --> 01:11:12,760
Speaker 1: Giant's offensive line has not been a total hot mess

1388
01:11:12,840 --> 01:11:17,880
Speaker 1: this season. The last couple of weeks, the communication in

1389
01:11:18,160 --> 01:11:20,880
Speaker 1: recognizing where the pressure is coming from, and that happened

1390
01:11:20,920 --> 01:11:24,600
Speaker 1: so many times. You could see that Arizona was like

1391
01:11:24,800 --> 01:11:28,240
Speaker 1: We're just gonna keep sending stunts, and we're gonna keep

1392
01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:31,000
Speaker 1: sending blitzes and doing all sorts of different things. And

1393
01:11:31,120 --> 01:11:33,680
Speaker 1: by the end it was just a feeding frenzy. And

1394
01:11:33,920 --> 01:11:37,360
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones especially, you know, like punched his pro bolticket

1395
01:11:37,360 --> 01:11:39,800
Speaker 1: and when you get those four sack games and looks

1396
01:11:41,160 --> 01:11:45,080
Speaker 1: soldier he was on both sides, I believe. I believe

1397
01:11:45,200 --> 01:11:49,599
Speaker 1: Remors and Nate's Solder both had their share of struggles.

1398
01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:51,960
Speaker 1: I mean, Kyle Kyler Murray had a hundred and four

1399
01:11:52,040 --> 01:11:53,479
Speaker 1: yards this game. I thought this would be like a

1400
01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:57,360
Speaker 1: high scoring game where both quarterbacks did a lot. Uh

1401
01:11:57,640 --> 01:12:00,840
Speaker 1: not so much. Uh you know what, I three three

1402
01:12:00,880 --> 01:12:05,160
Speaker 1: and one though they're they're five d's times. You know

1403
01:12:05,200 --> 01:12:08,479
Speaker 1: what I heard, Greg, Yeah, I heard the biggest star

1404
01:12:08,560 --> 01:12:11,320
Speaker 1: of this game was actually upstairs in the booth, Greg

1405
01:12:11,400 --> 01:12:18,080
Speaker 1: Olsen on the by an absolute master class. Uh, one

1406
01:12:18,120 --> 01:12:22,160
Speaker 1: of those remember early Romo when people were like, wait

1407
01:12:22,240 --> 01:12:24,640
Speaker 1: a second, we might have something special here. We got

1408
01:12:24,720 --> 01:12:27,760
Speaker 1: a situation here. I mean, I'm sure Booker is not

1409
01:12:27,880 --> 01:12:30,200
Speaker 1: sleeping tonight because Greg Olsen is right near the end

1410
01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:33,400
Speaker 1: of it's been an excellent career and people are talking,

1411
01:12:33,680 --> 01:12:36,960
Speaker 1: the streets are talking about Greg Olson and the booth.

1412
01:12:37,520 --> 01:12:39,840
Speaker 1: He was awesome to the point where I was just like,

1413
01:12:39,920 --> 01:12:43,200
Speaker 1: who is this new announcer? I like this guy like that.

1414
01:12:43,320 --> 01:12:45,920
Speaker 1: He's making a lot of smart points, like I've never

1415
01:12:46,040 --> 01:12:48,880
Speaker 1: heard this voice, and I checked and it's Greg Olsen,

1416
01:12:49,080 --> 01:12:51,679
Speaker 1: And yeah, he was a joy to listen to throughout

1417
01:12:51,880 --> 01:12:55,880
Speaker 1: analyze the game very calmly. It's for you know, for

1418
01:12:55,960 --> 01:12:57,840
Speaker 1: a tight end. He can really see, like the game

1419
01:12:57,920 --> 01:13:00,960
Speaker 1: from the quarterback position, just like aking things down and

1420
01:13:01,080 --> 01:13:03,200
Speaker 1: teaching you. How about this for a quote, Greg, I

1421
01:13:03,240 --> 01:13:05,560
Speaker 1: know you love this stuff, so I'm directing it you.

1422
01:13:05,960 --> 01:13:08,640
Speaker 1: Kenny Albert was his partner. I like Kenny. It was

1423
01:13:08,680 --> 01:13:10,920
Speaker 1: a good deal. Here's what Kenny had to say, according

1424
01:13:10,960 --> 01:13:13,479
Speaker 1: to The Athletic, I don't think I've ever gotten that

1425
01:13:13,640 --> 01:13:16,639
Speaker 1: many texts or tweets during the game about an analyst

1426
01:13:16,720 --> 01:13:20,880
Speaker 1: that I was working with and it was positive. Wait

1427
01:13:20,920 --> 01:13:23,320
Speaker 1: a minute, what was the one center are well? You

1428
01:13:23,479 --> 01:13:25,800
Speaker 1: never completes everybody? We heard him in the playoffs might

1429
01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:27,519
Speaker 1: have been the analyst he was with last week. We

1430
01:13:27,600 --> 01:13:29,240
Speaker 1: heard him in the playoffs last year, and I thought

1431
01:13:29,680 --> 01:13:33,080
Speaker 1: in his first like ever game announcing he's already second

1432
01:13:33,120 --> 01:13:39,040
Speaker 1: best behind Romo like wrapping in for during the bye week.

1433
01:13:39,120 --> 01:13:42,040
Speaker 1: That's kind of wild too. I mean, that's that's breaking boundaries.

1434
01:13:42,120 --> 01:13:43,720
Speaker 1: You're like in a job and then you already know

1435
01:13:43,800 --> 01:13:45,559
Speaker 1: that the minute that you decide to leave the job

1436
01:13:45,600 --> 01:13:47,840
Speaker 1: that's paying you millions and millions of dollars, that you'll

1437
01:13:47,880 --> 01:13:50,800
Speaker 1: just roll in as a class favorite. I'm ready to

1438
01:13:50,840 --> 01:13:52,600
Speaker 1: put out the sandwich right now that he's in the

1439
01:13:52,600 --> 01:13:55,320
Speaker 1: booth at Monday night football the season after retires, whether

1440
01:13:55,360 --> 01:13:58,679
Speaker 1: it's twenty I'm with you. He uh, you're not taking

1441
01:13:58,720 --> 01:14:00,600
Speaker 1: me up on it. I read with me up on

1442
01:14:00,720 --> 01:14:03,160
Speaker 1: it right now. I mean there are human beings involved

1443
01:14:03,200 --> 01:14:06,760
Speaker 1: in that process. What a guy you are? What a

1444
01:14:06,840 --> 01:14:09,200
Speaker 1: class act you mean? I'm just waiting until we're not

1445
01:14:09,240 --> 01:14:13,160
Speaker 1: gonna watch it again. It was very disarming to to

1446
01:14:13,520 --> 01:14:15,360
Speaker 1: have a guy in the booth comfortable and then at

1447
01:14:15,400 --> 01:14:17,639
Speaker 1: the end of the game feels like an aggressive wager.

1448
01:14:17,840 --> 01:14:22,400
Speaker 1: For it does feel a little aggressive, kind I know

1449
01:14:22,479 --> 01:14:25,840
Speaker 1: what's really going on here. We'll talk off air or not.

1450
01:14:27,120 --> 01:14:30,680
Speaker 1: We will never talk again. Dan, you need to sip

1451
01:14:30,760 --> 01:14:34,760
Speaker 1: in your teeth at the end of our relationship. All right,

1452
01:14:35,360 --> 01:14:38,200
Speaker 1: let's move on. Tavon Austin in Motion coming to the

1453
01:14:38,280 --> 01:14:40,599
Speaker 1: left and then we'll pitch it right to Austin. He's

1454
01:14:40,600 --> 01:14:43,320
Speaker 1: got a first stout fifting touch up with Sam put

1455
01:14:43,439 --> 01:14:49,200
Speaker 1: into the five clutch out on Austin stuck the cresses,

1456
01:14:49,240 --> 01:14:54,840
Speaker 1: the cowboyism scored a first quarter touchdown. The sham God,

1457
01:14:56,040 --> 01:15:01,320
Speaker 1: Rad Sham the sham God with the call Cowboys Radio

1458
01:15:01,439 --> 01:15:05,640
Speaker 1: kay r LD. What Tavon Austin is starting action with

1459
01:15:05,760 --> 01:15:08,360
Speaker 1: a touchdown, You know your offense is gonna have a

1460
01:15:08,439 --> 01:15:11,439
Speaker 1: good day. And that's what happened for the Dallas Cowboys.

1461
01:15:11,479 --> 01:15:14,080
Speaker 1: In fact, everyone on the Cowboys had a good day

1462
01:15:14,120 --> 01:15:17,360
Speaker 1: and a thirty seven to ten win over the Eagles,

1463
01:15:17,400 --> 01:15:20,800
Speaker 1: a win that snaps the Cowboys losing streak at three

1464
01:15:21,479 --> 01:15:26,280
Speaker 1: and sends the Eagles deep deeper into their existential funk.

1465
01:15:28,880 --> 01:15:34,439
Speaker 1: And if you're Jason Garrett, Greg who after a week,

1466
01:15:34,680 --> 01:15:37,600
Speaker 1: you know this happens almost every year for going on

1467
01:15:37,720 --> 01:15:40,160
Speaker 1: a decade. There will be weeks during the season where

1468
01:15:40,200 --> 01:15:42,720
Speaker 1: people will be pointing at Jason Garrett and saying that

1469
01:15:42,880 --> 01:15:45,479
Speaker 1: man's the problem. Get him out of the building. They

1470
01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:47,720
Speaker 1: need a better head coach, and perhaps they do. Greg,

1471
01:15:47,960 --> 01:15:49,560
Speaker 1: I think you're one of those people that believe that,

1472
01:15:50,120 --> 01:15:54,559
Speaker 1: and that's okay, but this was as Chris Collinsworth put

1473
01:15:54,600 --> 01:15:58,120
Speaker 1: it well at the end of the game, the pressure

1474
01:15:58,160 --> 01:16:01,800
Speaker 1: relief valve has been hit absolutely, especially going into the

1475
01:16:01,880 --> 01:16:05,799
Speaker 1: bye week. To to get Randall Cobb and Amari Cooper

1476
01:16:06,080 --> 01:16:09,559
Speaker 1: and the best tackle tandem in the league in uh

1477
01:16:10,080 --> 01:16:12,840
Speaker 1: lay All Collins and Tyrone Smith back, you're gonna look better.

1478
01:16:12,880 --> 01:16:14,599
Speaker 1: I think their offense hasn't been the problem the whole

1479
01:16:14,640 --> 01:16:16,839
Speaker 1: time we talked going into the show, it's been the defense.

1480
01:16:17,160 --> 01:16:20,200
Speaker 1: Can Layton Vanderish and Jalen Smith and to Marcus Slays,

1481
01:16:20,240 --> 01:16:22,240
Speaker 1: can they start making some plays. That's exactly what they

1482
01:16:22,320 --> 01:16:24,479
Speaker 1: did in the first half of this game. They gave

1483
01:16:24,520 --> 01:16:27,679
Speaker 1: their team a few extra possessions by winning the turnover

1484
01:16:27,760 --> 01:16:30,439
Speaker 1: battle three to nothing. The Cowboys did have a couple

1485
01:16:30,439 --> 01:16:33,960
Speaker 1: of injuries with Robert Quinn and vander esh in terms

1486
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:36,200
Speaker 1: of the second half, but by then the game was over.

1487
01:16:36,960 --> 01:16:41,120
Speaker 1: It is pretty impressive to see the Cowboys win that convincingly,

1488
01:16:41,240 --> 01:16:44,560
Speaker 1: and yet somehow it's not totally shocking the way that

1489
01:16:44,680 --> 01:16:48,200
Speaker 1: the Eagles have been playing, especially the last two weeks. Yeah,

1490
01:16:48,200 --> 01:16:50,400
Speaker 1: the Cowboys didn't implode in the red zone this time.

1491
01:16:50,640 --> 01:16:53,400
Speaker 1: They've been moving the ball up and down the field

1492
01:16:53,840 --> 01:16:57,280
Speaker 1: pretty consistently. They just haven't been scoring consistently, and today

1493
01:16:57,560 --> 01:17:00,800
Speaker 1: everything just clicked. Yeah. I look at the Eagles and

1494
01:17:01,120 --> 01:17:04,720
Speaker 1: I thought before the season started, I pointed to them

1495
01:17:04,760 --> 01:17:06,759
Speaker 1: as the team in the NFC that I just believed

1496
01:17:06,840 --> 01:17:11,679
Speaker 1: in the most, from top to bottom, front office, coaching staff, roster.

1497
01:17:11,920 --> 01:17:13,600
Speaker 1: I knew they're you know, they're not perfect, but you

1498
01:17:13,720 --> 01:17:16,080
Speaker 1: thought this is the team that I thought would be

1499
01:17:16,120 --> 01:17:20,000
Speaker 1: there at the end. They watching them tonight. Last week

1500
01:17:20,040 --> 01:17:21,960
Speaker 1: it was the secondary. Tonight it was the defense again.

1501
01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:24,840
Speaker 1: I watched their offense too, would just say identity free.

1502
01:17:24,920 --> 01:17:28,120
Speaker 1: I don't know what this offense is about. They Greg,

1503
01:17:28,200 --> 01:17:29,479
Speaker 1: I think you kind of mentioned there was sort of

1504
01:17:29,520 --> 01:17:33,040
Speaker 1: the sort of bad energy around the whole Eagles operation tonight,

1505
01:17:33,120 --> 01:17:36,839
Speaker 1: And it's just I I go into Week eight wondering

1506
01:17:36,920 --> 01:17:39,040
Speaker 1: what the Eagles team is right now. I think about

1507
01:17:39,120 --> 01:17:42,080
Speaker 1: the late Tony Sperrano and his famous bury the ball.

1508
01:17:42,240 --> 01:17:44,360
Speaker 1: You bury the ball, you buried the past. It is

1509
01:17:44,520 --> 01:17:48,040
Speaker 1: very close to not very close. This is a bury

1510
01:17:48,120 --> 01:17:50,120
Speaker 1: the ball game for the Eagles. But you know what

1511
01:17:50,240 --> 01:17:53,040
Speaker 1: the problem with the bury the ball game is, it

1512
01:17:53,160 --> 01:17:55,240
Speaker 1: can't happen on the same week that your head coach

1513
01:17:55,720 --> 01:17:57,479
Speaker 1: tells the media and I know, you try to walk

1514
01:17:57,560 --> 01:17:59,439
Speaker 1: this back. We're gonna go to Dallas, We're gonna win,

1515
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:02,680
Speaker 1: and then you don't show up. It doesn't mean the

1516
01:18:02,760 --> 01:18:06,720
Speaker 1: Eagles are done. But to Mark's point, they have been

1517
01:18:07,320 --> 01:18:09,920
Speaker 1: one of the biggest disappointments in the entire league. I

1518
01:18:10,040 --> 01:18:12,920
Speaker 1: believe through through seven weeks and they still have time

1519
01:18:12,960 --> 01:18:14,640
Speaker 1: west to get back on track, and you know what,

1520
01:18:14,760 --> 01:18:17,280
Speaker 1: I'd be surprised if they don't. But at the same time,

1521
01:18:17,800 --> 01:18:19,360
Speaker 1: it's been bad, and it's been rough, and they were

1522
01:18:19,400 --> 01:18:21,640
Speaker 1: not competitive tonight. That is not a good sign, not

1523
01:18:21,720 --> 01:18:24,120
Speaker 1: a good look. Well, we give the Eagles a lot

1524
01:18:24,200 --> 01:18:26,759
Speaker 1: of credit. I think we have confidence in their general

1525
01:18:26,800 --> 01:18:30,720
Speaker 1: manager the coaching staff that it's a strong roster, and

1526
01:18:30,840 --> 01:18:34,479
Speaker 1: then you can't If you believe that, then then one

1527
01:18:34,560 --> 01:18:36,880
Speaker 1: thirty two year old wide receiver who's a deep threat

1528
01:18:37,120 --> 01:18:39,439
Speaker 1: shouldn't throw off everything just because he's out of the lineup.

1529
01:18:40,680 --> 01:18:43,680
Speaker 1: Deshan Jackson being gone has hurt them and they've been

1530
01:18:43,720 --> 01:18:46,720
Speaker 1: prone to some stinkers. Look, they got blown out by

1531
01:18:47,200 --> 01:18:50,240
Speaker 1: the Saints last year much later in the season, the

1532
01:18:50,320 --> 01:18:52,720
Speaker 1: middle of November, and they bounce back from that. They

1533
01:18:52,800 --> 01:18:55,960
Speaker 1: lost my forty points but it's strange to see them

1534
01:18:56,280 --> 01:18:58,919
Speaker 1: in two straight weeks on the road against other playoff

1535
01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:02,759
Speaker 1: type contenders, and I think we're clearly the inferior team

1536
01:19:02,840 --> 01:19:04,960
Speaker 1: in both games. I don't think they were that close

1537
01:19:05,040 --> 01:19:07,360
Speaker 1: to the Vikings. I think the final score was appropriate.

1538
01:19:07,400 --> 01:19:09,920
Speaker 1: And when you look at these two teams, they're they're

1539
01:19:09,960 --> 01:19:11,920
Speaker 1: both very tough to get a handle on. But what's

1540
01:19:11,920 --> 01:19:14,920
Speaker 1: been consistent. I think the Cowboys offense has been consistent,

1541
01:19:15,320 --> 01:19:18,360
Speaker 1: especially when they're healthy. And what's also been consistent is

1542
01:19:18,439 --> 01:19:21,160
Speaker 1: the Eagles defense being lame. I mean, they've been a

1543
01:19:21,320 --> 01:19:25,479
Speaker 1: pretty bad defense throughout, and their offense works really hard

1544
01:19:25,600 --> 01:19:28,160
Speaker 1: for everything. I mean Whence for the most part of

1545
01:19:28,200 --> 01:19:30,600
Speaker 1: this season, we like what he's done, but they're just

1546
01:19:30,680 --> 01:19:32,800
Speaker 1: they had a running game outside of the Green Bay No.

1547
01:19:33,160 --> 01:19:35,040
Speaker 1: I mean, they get some plays in the receiving game

1548
01:19:35,120 --> 01:19:38,040
Speaker 1: from the from Sanders, but they seem to be working

1549
01:19:38,280 --> 01:19:41,600
Speaker 1: so hard, whereas in the past, I feel like Peterson

1550
01:19:41,680 --> 01:19:44,160
Speaker 1: and went like things just came much easier. Onence missed

1551
01:19:44,160 --> 01:19:46,320
Speaker 1: a couple of big time throws tonight where he had

1552
01:19:46,360 --> 01:19:49,000
Speaker 1: open receivers. So it's not all It's not just one thing.

1553
01:19:49,320 --> 01:19:52,000
Speaker 1: This was your game where the field is a undred

1554
01:19:52,040 --> 01:19:55,679
Speaker 1: and ten yards going uphill both ways, vibe for the Eagles,

1555
01:19:55,800 --> 01:19:57,320
Speaker 1: I mean the Cowboys and what a great what a

1556
01:19:57,360 --> 01:19:59,920
Speaker 1: great night. I mean Jason went the montage of Jason

1557
01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:03,560
Speaker 1: Witten doing fist have that for the video show we do.

1558
01:20:03,800 --> 01:20:06,799
Speaker 1: I mean, it was a beautiful thing. NBC put together

1559
01:20:06,880 --> 01:20:10,599
Speaker 1: a montage of Jason Witten doing like, like dad fist

1560
01:20:10,640 --> 01:20:13,280
Speaker 1: pumps from here he just won the second set tie

1561
01:20:13,360 --> 01:20:17,360
Speaker 1: break in the men's over forty five championship at the

1562
01:20:17,400 --> 01:20:20,040
Speaker 1: Old Tennis Club. He saw he basically is just farting

1563
01:20:20,080 --> 01:20:22,519
Speaker 1: on Monday night football right there. He's saying he's gonna

1564
01:20:22,560 --> 01:20:24,599
Speaker 1: do what I want to kid rock concert and they

1565
01:20:24,680 --> 01:20:28,519
Speaker 1: just went into like He's like, oh yeah, this is

1566
01:20:28,600 --> 01:20:34,720
Speaker 1: my college jam. Some great pump analysis. I enjoyed that.

1567
01:20:36,120 --> 01:20:38,840
Speaker 1: You know who wasn't doing all those things we just

1568
01:20:38,920 --> 01:20:44,080
Speaker 1: mentioned it. Go ahead, Mark or West who locked up

1569
01:20:44,160 --> 01:20:48,479
Speaker 1: the Cowboys? Baby, nice job and Mark, you you really

1570
01:20:48,520 --> 01:20:51,960
Speaker 1: saved your buddy here. Oh yeah he did. Uh got

1571
01:20:52,000 --> 01:20:54,679
Speaker 1: out of the Falcons lock, which was you know, god

1572
01:20:54,760 --> 01:20:58,240
Speaker 1: forsaken and now you're on the board. You end. And

1573
01:20:58,400 --> 01:21:00,800
Speaker 1: I said it on Thursday show into Nationally, this story

1574
01:21:00,880 --> 01:21:03,720
Speaker 1: is picking up steam. You're gonna be all over the papers. Uh,

1575
01:21:04,000 --> 01:21:07,320
Speaker 1: if you would pay Pipkins, it was gonna be it

1576
01:21:07,439 --> 01:21:10,639
Speaker 1: was gonna be grim. So good job with that. In fact,

1577
01:21:11,120 --> 01:21:13,479
Speaker 1: West was being boycotted in China, so it's you know,

1578
01:21:13,560 --> 01:21:15,479
Speaker 1: you're back. You're big in China, You're back on the

1579
01:21:15,720 --> 01:21:18,080
Speaker 1: You're back in China. Actually I have a comment to

1580
01:21:18,120 --> 01:21:20,320
Speaker 1: make about what's going on in Hong Kong right now,

1581
01:21:20,360 --> 01:21:22,680
Speaker 1: but I will save it for the end of the show. Um.

1582
01:21:23,479 --> 01:21:28,320
Speaker 1: Greg also locked up the Packers. We went four. Oh

1583
01:21:28,920 --> 01:21:33,360
Speaker 1: now our time, we really that, so we we don't

1584
01:21:33,439 --> 01:21:35,960
Speaker 1: mention locks at all. For all those weeks we were terrible.

1585
01:21:36,040 --> 01:21:38,320
Speaker 1: But now that we went for it, oh, we're like,

1586
01:21:38,680 --> 01:21:42,360
Speaker 1: we're almost like two weeks away of from doing that again,

1587
01:21:42,600 --> 01:21:45,519
Speaker 1: of getting to five. Let's honk about it. Hey, listen,

1588
01:21:45,760 --> 01:21:49,960
Speaker 1: it's been a rough ride, always forward, never back. Can't

1589
01:21:49,960 --> 01:21:52,479
Speaker 1: see is Erica's face right now. She wants us all

1590
01:21:52,640 --> 01:21:55,640
Speaker 1: taken out by wild animals before the next minute, or

1591
01:21:56,600 --> 01:21:59,280
Speaker 1: all right, that's it. Good job by the Cowboys, bad

1592
01:21:59,520 --> 01:22:03,320
Speaker 1: bad job by the Eagles. And yet you do feel

1593
01:22:03,360 --> 01:22:05,880
Speaker 1: like the next time they play the game will mean something.

1594
01:22:06,600 --> 01:22:09,559
Speaker 1: Just the way this division works. Typically, Cowboys got Eagle's

1595
01:22:09,560 --> 01:22:11,720
Speaker 1: gotta figure it out. Though NFC is pretty deep, it's

1596
01:22:11,760 --> 01:22:14,479
Speaker 1: gonna be a little trickier to slide into one of

1597
01:22:14,479 --> 01:22:18,040
Speaker 1: those wild card spots. Week sixteen, they'll they'll meet again,

1598
01:22:18,200 --> 01:22:21,680
Speaker 1: but in Philadelphia. We'll see if that game has huge

1599
01:22:21,800 --> 01:22:25,800
Speaker 1: ramifications for both teams. All right, we'll be back on Tuesday,

1600
01:22:26,880 --> 01:22:30,679
Speaker 1: UM where we will recap the Monday night football classic

1601
01:22:31,320 --> 01:22:35,120
Speaker 1: between the Jets and the Patriots and uh and then

1602
01:22:35,160 --> 01:22:37,240
Speaker 1: do a bunch of other fun stuff. Might be a classic.

1603
01:22:37,640 --> 01:22:39,080
Speaker 1: I hope it is. I feel like it would be

1604
01:22:39,160 --> 01:22:41,479
Speaker 1: good for the Jets it was a classic because could

1605
01:22:41,520 --> 01:22:43,720
Speaker 1: it be a classic of the Patriots win. Probably not,

1606
01:22:44,640 --> 01:22:46,720
Speaker 1: But if it's being called, if it's being hailed as

1607
01:22:46,760 --> 01:22:48,880
Speaker 1: a classic, I mean, if it was a great game

1608
01:22:49,320 --> 01:22:52,400
Speaker 1: that the Patriots won at the very end, it could be. No.

1609
01:22:52,640 --> 01:22:54,400
Speaker 1: Not if they want to hunt, I'm not. I don't

1610
01:22:54,400 --> 01:22:56,400
Speaker 1: want if they want a hundred nothing and it like

1611
01:22:56,600 --> 01:23:00,000
Speaker 1: changed football history and still on a classic. Sam's aren't

1612
01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:02,519
Speaker 1: would be a land Ros for six touchdowns, but Tom

1613
01:23:02,560 --> 01:23:06,120
Speaker 1: Brady throws for seven, including a forty eight yard or

1614
01:23:06,160 --> 01:23:07,960
Speaker 1: at the buzzer. That's gonna be a classic no matter

1615
01:23:08,000 --> 01:23:11,439
Speaker 1: who take that, So give me that Ricky tried to

1616
01:23:11,520 --> 01:23:14,080
Speaker 1: end this show sixty seven seconds ago. Let's go, I don't.

1617
01:23:14,160 --> 01:23:16,880
Speaker 1: I'm I'm fine, you guys, I'm loving it all right.

1618
01:23:16,960 --> 01:23:24,639
Speaker 1: Run the music. Just have a spooked Dan ANSAs signing

1619
01:23:24,680 --> 01:23:27,280
Speaker 1: off for Quiet Storm to mail Man, the Old Boss, Ricky, Hollywood,

1620
