00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: The Around the NFL Podcast has a questionable lock of

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: the Week records. Welcome back to another edition of the

3
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,159
Speaker 1: Around the NFL Podcast, presented by Head and Shoulders. My

4
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: name is Dan Hanss and I'm joined by room filled

5
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: with heroes, Mark Sessler, Chris Lastling two days in a

6
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 1: row and Greg Rosa. What's up, boys, that's progress less?

7
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: Just like Oh Daddy Wesser at a mimosa at Harry Hands.

8
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: This is one of your birthday party. I just took wild,

9
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: just took slings and arrows from our producer for having

10
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: a mimosa and my my first day back from drinking

11
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: in six months. She stripped you of your man card

12
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 1: about eight seconds before the show. It's gone shocking lack

13
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: of empathy what West West had to say, Like, do

14
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: I have to pull the C card here? I first drink,

15
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: let me get into it and and city and Lindsay's all, oh, listen,

16
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: you know where I come from. Everybody drinks Bud heavy

17
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: and that's the only man drink is. It's like that

18
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: right captured the spirit of it. This is the Week

19
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: ten recap show, Sunday Night recap show, often imitated, never duplicated.

20
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: Um so many games to get to in uh week ten,

21
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what I'm excited. I'm officially excited

22
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: now about as we're starting to peek forward, you know,

23
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,839
Speaker 1: peek ahead, look at you know. Mike for in Cecia

24
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: used to say the season doesn't start till after Thanksgiving,

25
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: which you probably stole from Parcels, I'm guessing. But as

26
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: we head closer to Thanksgiving, the NFC, in particular, the

27
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: four teams in first place are combined twenty nine and seven.

28
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: The Eagles are eight and one, the Vikings, Saints and

29
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: Rams all seven and two. That is a nice saucy

30
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: conference that you can get behind. The a f C

31
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: still mess west, but the NFC is gonna be a

32
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: lot of fun as we go down the stretch in

33
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: the season. I am really crossing my fingers and hoping

34
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: for a Saints Eagles matchup in the NFC Championship game.

35
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: I think that will be a heck of a game.

36
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: And these teams played each other a ton and we'll

37
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: be talking about it. And the Rams played those three teams,

38
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: I believe in a row. There three out of four

39
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: weeks they play the Vikings and the Eagles and the Saints,

40
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: and there's some Seahawks Eagles mixed in there, a lot

41
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 1: of good games. So we're gonna get to all those teams.

42
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: And actually, why not, why don't we start with one

43
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: of those teams, and we'll start with one of the

44
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: teams that West wants an NFC title game. The new

45
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: old in Saints Breeze and the shotgun? Do you really

46
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: want to throw it? He looks to his left, now

47
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: to his right, comes back over the middle, rolls to

48
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: his left, staying alive the way to the side, and

49
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 1: it's good to be breezed to the pilon and end. Oh.

50
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: Jim Henderson w w L chuckling him to himself because

51
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: in a game which Drew Brees did not even throw

52
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: a touchdown pass, the Saint's nearly putting up a fifty burger.

53
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: The Saints set of franchise record six rushing touchdowns, including

54
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: that one from Drew Brees. Uh Mark Ingram had three,

55
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: which was a career high a forty seven to ten

56
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 1: dismantling of the Buffalo Bills and Orchard Park whoa West,

57
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: The Saints nearly put up a fifty burger. As I said,

58
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: Drew Brees doesn't have to carry the show because they

59
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: are a well balanced unit, and that defense forget about it. Well,

60
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: I said on Thursday's show, this was a lopsided matchup,

61
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: and it was a comprehensive evisceration the likes of which

62
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: I don't know I've seen all year, and maybe only

63
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 1: a handful times in all of the football games I've

64
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: ever seen in my life. When you when you always

65
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: go and watch this game, you will see the Saints

66
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: join whatever they want to do on offense, marching up

67
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: and down the field with long, extended drives, imposing their

68
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: will on a defense that allowed three hundred rushing yards.

69
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: I mean, we saw Buffalo get gashed by the Jets

70
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: on the ground, and it was like, oh, it's the

71
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: Jets and it was Thursday night, so it's an aberration,

72
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: and let's find out what happens to Buffalo. Something's wrong,

73
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: po smart cell Darius trade because what happened today was

74
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: twice as bad. There was one play I saw earlier

75
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: trying to track this thing, a fourth and one play

76
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: where they went for at the Saints Hannah to Ingram,

77
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: he blasts down to about the five yard lane, and

78
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: you knew the game was over because they just simply

79
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: overpowered Buffalo and the death. That's bad. It's a bad look.

80
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: And I'm sure Marcel Darius is enjoying himself watching how

81
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: badly they've they've struggled since he left. But it can't

82
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: be all with Darius just leaving the picture. No, it's

83
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: not all. I mean, it's just in general, like it's

84
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: that thing and and it was right when Greg everyone

85
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: got sucked into. The Bills is finally being a playoff

86
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 1: type team this year and now, And not to take

87
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: anything away from the Saints, but the Bills just haven't

88
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: showed up in two weeks and they played the best

89
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: running team in the league. So it's a combination of things.

90
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: So yet they haven't showed up and they have to

91
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: feel terrible about themselves in terms of how the last

92
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 1: two weeks have gone. But they also had the worst

93
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: matchup possible today and they're playing a running team who

94
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: has been about as good as at running as as

95
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: we've seen a team be in the last few years.

96
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: This was at reckoning the Bills all season. Hey been

97
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,799
Speaker 1: well coached, overachievers with a shallow roster, and there's still

98
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: that I wanna I want to get after Bills fans

99
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: a little bit for cheering so loudly when they finally

100
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: when they brought a Nathan Peterman in garbage time taking

101
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: out Tyrod Taylor. I know Tyrode Taylor didn't have a

102
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: good game or anything, but a little too a little

103
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: too happy about that. They've been through a lot, Yeah,

104
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: they've been through. Because I picked the Bills, I was

105
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: going to keep my lock streak alive, and I stand

106
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: by the logic. But now now it looks a lot worse,

107
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: obviously because the Saints now look as good as anybody

108
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: in the league period. This was going on the road

109
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 1: in November against the team that plays well at home,

110
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: that's had a really nice season, and then, like West says,

111
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: embarrasses them in humiliating fashion, like WHOA, I'll just deal

112
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: with you. Were attempting to tie my impressive lock streak

113
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: ended last season, and we had a lock off, and

114
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: I used my sort of Sessler analytics style to look

115
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: at this game and say, I'm very comfortable taking the

116
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: road team here, and it was hand. It came out well,

117
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: and so I'm not going to gloat, but a nice

118
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 1: run by you, Dan, and now it's time to start over.

119
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: And try to get back to tie my streak again.

120
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 1: I know this is going to pain you, it's humbling,

121
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: but I'll take first place in the overall standings and

122
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: all time standings home with me tonight. Those are fair

123
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 1: concession prizes. I think you have to consider the Saints

124
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: Super Bowl contenders because of that formula you mentioned, going

125
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: on the road in cold weather outside of that friendly

126
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 1: dome that they've taken advantage of so much. But the

127
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: best team to the Sean Payton era have been the

128
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: teams that had a power runner like Deuce McAllister teamed

129
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: with that scat back, and Alvin Kamara is more than

130
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: a scat Yeah, he is shedding tacklers the likes of

131
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: which you don't see from a passing down back. He

132
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: might be He's back in the Rookie of the Year

133
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: mixed because of the Shawn Watson's injury, because the Leonard

134
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: four Nett hasn't really been showing up late. Hunt has

135
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: hit a slump, right he he is in at mix

136
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: and I want to see this Saints defense play against

137
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: a really good offense. But we'll see that down the stretch.

138
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: They got the Rams in a couple of weeks one

139
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: last thing. Camara and Ingram are now on pace for

140
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: almost three thousand yards combined. That is incredible, and I

141
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: do want to give credit to Dan. I think it

142
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: was very humble as you mentioned to mention that you're

143
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: leading in the overall records and the season. After accepting

144
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: the loss, thank you, thank you very much. Also that

145
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: you're in last place, dead last. We give it up.

146
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: This seems like a weird point for this, but I'll

147
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: take it anyway. Thank you. I take issue with that

148
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: bit of production right there. Let's move on checking out

149
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: another one of those NFC superpowers shotguns single back right,

150
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: subtle play, fake afflicking to the right, flat catch and

151
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: eight feeling makes a block. It springs free Charious right

152
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: who plunges in for a touchdown. Paul Allen k f

153
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: XC and with the call and Thensota Vikings keep role

154
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: in case. Keena threw four touchdown passes, each to a

155
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: different receiver, and the Vikings went on the road to

156
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: beat the Redskins thirty thirty, their fifth consecutive win. Uh

157
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: Keenan here also through two second half interceptions that gave

158
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: the Redskins life of Minnesota. They made that early lead

159
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: stand up and my first takeaway from the game, gentleman,

160
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: if this team can put together you know, thirty Burgers

161
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: putting up twenty five plus points a game with that defense,

162
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: just as the Saints are team that you also, whoa,

163
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: this is like a super Bowl level team potentially the

164
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 1: Vikings that their offense really starts clicking forget about it

165
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: well and throw the Rams in there like it just

166
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: backs our point up that the NFC suddenly hasn't in

167
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 1: some cases, new faces, new teams, new Yeah, they're all balanced.

168
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: I mean a complaint in this room was like, how

169
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 1: you know these teams aren't the same every week? That's

170
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 1: just kind of like a big middle of the NFL.

171
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: And that's true for a lot of the NFL, but

172
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: it's actually been kind of a stat dere where in

173
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: the NFC. Now where four of these teams are on pace,

174
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 1: it's gonna take twelve thirteen wins to get a bye. Well,

175
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: I think you have to give Rick Spielman a lot

176
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 1: of credit for how deep and well rounded this roster is.

177
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: They lose their starting quarterback Sam Bradford, who had played

178
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: as well as he ever did in the opener. They

179
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,719
Speaker 1: lose a Rookie of the Year type of player and

180
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook. They lose Stefon Diggs, who had been one

181
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: of the hottest receivers in the league in September. They

182
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: lose him for almost a month, and they're rolling, and

183
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: they get case Keenum for one year and two million

184
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 1: dollars and he's He's channeled two thousand fifteen Ryan Fitzpatrick

185
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: as a guy who is playing to the level of

186
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: his surrounding talent and actually not just being a game

187
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: manager but making plays too well. To that point, also,

188
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: does it does it scare you at all if you're

189
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: if you're getting into the Vikings as a true contender

190
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: in this league that, like Ryan Fitzpatrick, there was always

191
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: this fear that at any moment, the guy can go

192
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: back to being what he had been for most of

193
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: his career. I would say, if I'm the Vikings fan,

194
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: that's my fear. But then you do have to Eddy

195
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: Bridgewater also waiting in the wings, so they have almost

196
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: even if Keenham goes bad, you have this other guy

197
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: who's also a question mark, and he made his first

198
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: has made his return to uh the league today. I

199
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: think it was four forty two days Teddy Bridgewater went

200
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: between active appearances in the NFL, and after the national

201
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: anthem was played, they showed him on the sideline wiping

202
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: tears away from his face. Are really in a season

203
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 1: that's been marked by injuries and losing star players and

204
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: all these terrible things happening to have a guy that

205
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 1: made it back from a serious injury. Here's what Bridgewater

206
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: had to say after the game. Being able to stand

207
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: next to those guys on the sideline for the national anthem,

208
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 1: it's just it all boiled up. I kind of screamed

209
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: a little on the sideline after I said my prayerent

210
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: ends on. I screamed a little. Now when I got

211
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 1: on the sideline, I was like, man, it's really about

212
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: to happen. But like I said today, it was a

213
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: great moment for my life, my personal life, but it

214
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,839
Speaker 1: was even a better moment for his team. The god there.

215
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 1: We competed and and after the game, Adam Feeling sent

216
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 1: out a tweet, you know, love this man. He's an

217
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: inspiration to many, including me talking about Teddy Bridgewater. And

218
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: in case Keenum, you know, retweets that and says this

219
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,079
Speaker 1: on top of it, and you get a feeling just

220
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: because I think and we saw case Keenum in har

221
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: Knocks and got a feel for who he is as

222
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: a guy, and you definitely get a great feel of

223
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: who Teddy Bridgewater is as a guy that this is

224
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: working like that this could be a weird situation almost

225
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: and everyone loves Teddy Bridgewater, but I think like everyone

226
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: there is, there's such good people that it's working. And

227
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: like they're they've been a good offensive team this season.

228
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: It's not all defense. I like how they're they're talking

229
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: during the game. Oh, Adam Feeling is now a star.

230
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 1: I mean we have been tracking Adam Feeling dating back

231
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: to late last season and he does this no matter

232
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: who the quarterback is every week. And he's an incredibly tough,

233
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: physical guy that rests the ball away from defenders. He

234
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: had catches the day of thirty eight and seventeen yards.

235
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: He does it every week. So whether it's keen Um,

236
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a Bokeenum that you know that

237
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna turn midnight and the offense is gonna

238
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: fall apart. There are some reliable things around him, and

239
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: they have depth at that position if nothing else, and

240
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: quarterbacks quarterbacks develop Case Keenum's he's kind of I feel

241
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: like he is what he is at this point, but

242
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: he's having a really nice season and feeling this is

243
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 1: a monster game. Like he's been an impact player for them,

244
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: but these this is the type of production that really

245
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: will put him on the map for a wider range

246
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: of people. So the Vikings moved to seven and two.

247
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:35,359
Speaker 1: Let's check in a big NFC battle Prescott, Oh, Claiborne

248
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 1: got a hand on it loose ball and Atlanta has

249
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: recovered and Clayborn knocked it loose that if that is

250
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: stated an official sack, that will be six. Wow, what

251
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: a day. Yes, indeed, Westernham w z G. What the call,

252
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: Adrian Claiborne said, a Falcon's record with six sacks West

253
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: He put an Xcel clown suit on backup Cowboys left

254
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: tackle Chaz Green than anyone else who's got in his

255
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: way as the Falcons cruised to a seven win over

256
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, who saw their three game winning streaks snapped.

257
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: Chris We'll get to the Falcons in a second, but

258
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 1: let's start with Dallas, who looked positively hopeless with Tyron

259
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: Smith and Zeke Elliott out of the lineup, and they

260
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: lose Seawan lead to a hamstring injury. So you find

261
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: out in this game what is the value of an

262
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: All Pro player? They lose three All pros and the

263
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: whole offensive attack was stymied. Adrian Claiborne had six sacks.

264
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 1: He has not He's only one time in seven years

265
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: of his career had more than that in a season,

266
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,439
Speaker 1: an entire season. Chads Green started at left tackle and

267
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: at one point Troy Aitman said, this is about as

268
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: bad of a beating as I've ever seen any any

269
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 1: player take on a on the field. Chads Green got

270
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: benched at guard and their running game didn't take off

271
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: until Jonathan Cooper replaced him about a month ago. So

272
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: you see in the first half, without Elliott they have

273
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: no running game, and without Tyrone Smith they have no

274
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 1: pass protection. Dak Prescott has seen how the other half

275
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 1: lives and Hadrian Claiborne after the game, he's like him.

276
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: He even said, you know, I don't know what the thing.

277
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 1: I'm not exactly he said, I mean, yeah, he said,

278
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,199
Speaker 1: I'm not exactly a uh, you know, a situational pass

279
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: rusher here. That's not normally my game. Iean, you look

280
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: at Adrian Claiborn. He's been through some really devastating injuries.

281
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: He's he's a big guy. He's not a guy you

282
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: you normally expect to see like bending the edge. But

283
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: the thing is they brought in a backup to take

284
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: over for Green late in the game, and he got

285
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: two more sacks. I don't know, he's just he is

286
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: not built like Jadeveon Clowney or something like that. So

287
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: seeing this, but on some of these players, it was

288
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: like almost like it was let him not being mean

289
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: to the guy. You know, can you trust the guy

290
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: named Chas at left tackle? Probably not so it's probably

291
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: Dallas's first mistake. But on some of those sacks, he

292
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: didn't even get a hand on the guy. Well, you

293
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: might want to give him help too, I mean, when

294
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: you kill him to get a chip block or two.

295
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: And did they do anything different in the second half though,

296
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: to adjust blocking scheme to get something else to help him.

297
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: I noticed no Witten was involved a little bit. Um

298
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: I saw once things got out of hand, But I

299
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: mean when they put up the white flag and take

300
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: Chad's Green out of the game and then you're putting

301
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: in essentially it was the third string left tackle, I

302
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: mean just a really grim effort. And then on the

303
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: falcon side West, what were your takeaways? They look like

304
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: the Falcons. Uh. Do they lose Devonte Freeman early Uh

305
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: to what looked like a concussion and Kevin culmanated one

306
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: of his best games of the year. I thought Matt

307
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: Ryan looked good, but I think Matt Ryan has looked

308
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: good all season. Thank you. It's good to have someone

309
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: else supported. I mean, if you're watching the games, Matt

310
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: Ryan is having a fine season. Well, I'm watching the

311
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: games too, and I don't. I think he's missing throws

312
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: and the numbers back it up. He doesn't have He's

313
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: not having the same year. Well that's because you see

314
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: Olio Jones miss an easy touchdown. You'll see they just

315
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: miss on a couple of plays by inches. He's he's

316
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: still the same quarterback he's always been. Their offense really

317
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: should get credit, even though the numbers aren't crazy. I mean,

318
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: it's seven three late in the middle of the third,

319
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: in the middle of the quarter, and they go nine

320
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: plays for a touchdown, then eleven place for a touchdown

321
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: that takes up half the third quarter, and then another

322
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: long drive for a field goal that that Cowboys only

323
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: had the ball once over that span, and the Falcons

324
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: put up seventeen points holding the ball, And that's kind

325
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: of what they are. They're not getting big plays, that's

326
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: the biggest difference. They were a big play offense last year.

327
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: They are not getting big plays this year. But they

328
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: are moving the ball well and today they finished their drive.

329
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: That's on the coordinator who's taking a lot of uh

330
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: I guess criticism for specific play calls. But to me,

331
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: the biggest thing is guys who need space like Taylor Gabriel.

332
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan knew how to give him that space and

333
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: Sarkisian has not. Adrian Clayborne six I think only four

334
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: six players in NFL history have done that before him.

335
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: Adrian Clayborn is now in that group. Let's move on

336
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: to an a f C matchup. Canaday with a snap

337
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: Barry with a hold to decide this football game, hopefully

338
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's favorite good snap ball down kick on its way.

339
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 1: The boss comes from and the Pittsburg Steelers come from

340
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 1: a big hole and win a very important game and

341
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 1: come back from an apparent Yeah he'll he'll grow back

342
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,719
Speaker 1: he Uh wait, so did Chris Boswell, take the bos

343
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: from Brian Bosworth. I don't think he can call a

344
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: kicker the boss. No, of course not. Well, it's it's

345
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: been labeled on him. Did he actually label himself that

346
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: it's I'm gonna assume yes, that he is all on board.

347
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: Because you nickname yourself doesn't mean everyone does. Ben Roethlisberger's

348
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: thirty two yard completion D'Antonio Brown with less than a

349
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: minute to play set up that thirty three yard game

350
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: winning field goal from the Boss as time expired, the

351
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 1: Steelers escape with a seventeen win uh in Indianapolis against

352
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: the Colts. Greg The Steelers woke up just in time

353
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: to avoid an embarrassing setback. Yeah, you never know what

354
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 1: to think in games like this where the Steelers clearly sleepwalk,

355
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 1: and they've done this time and time again. I think

356
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 1: they were seven and fourteen on the road against Sub

357
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 1: five in the last four years or five years under

358
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin and they and they probably should have lost

359
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: this one. And the game turns on a Jack Doyle

360
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 1: drop that's you know, intercepted inside the ten yard line

361
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 1: that Ryan Shazier makes a great diving play, and then

362
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: they get it going and you want to just kill

363
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: the Steelers. But then again, at some point, it's second

364
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 1: in seventeen with one left in the game, and they're

365
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: by no means is this game just automatic? Steelers are

366
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 1: gonna win it at that point, and Ben Roethlisberger makes

367
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: three great plays in a row, to Bell to to

368
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: Brown to Bryant, and you know, I don't know, you

369
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 1: deserve credit for that. You deserve credit for making your

370
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 1: best players of the game when it when it's you

371
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 1: can have credit. They can have all the credit they want.

372
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: But they played an awful defense today. And the one

373
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: thing I would say is because downstairs we all got

374
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: into a little bit about this whole Steelers thing, and

375
00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 1: I know, Greg, you think very highly of them. I

376
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: think you should in in an in an a f

377
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: C that is an absolute and total abomination. They're probably

378
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: ticketed for the a f C title game, but they

379
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,439
Speaker 1: are not. Even if if you just put the league

380
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: across the way, I don't see Pittsburgh the equal of

381
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 1: some of these NFC teams. They're not even They're not

382
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 1: as consistent, but at their best, I think they can

383
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 1: be any team. And that to me that the Conferences, Yes,

384
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: NFC is way deeper. But you know that Patriots long

385
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: if we waited for the Steelers to go at their

386
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 1: best two or three in a row in January winning,

387
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: but we saw two games in a row and their

388
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: two biggest games of the year when they absolutely steamrolled

389
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 1: the best competition they played. You gotta give a little

390
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: credit to the colt who absolutely dominated two opponents in

391
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 1: the NFL the last two weeks. They showed up, had

392
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 1: a good effort for thirty minutes, it wasn't enough and

393
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: the better team wins. Well. I think one of the

394
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 1: hallmarks of the Toma era is that they sleepwalk on

395
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 1: the road against inferior and then the next week they

396
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 1: go and dismantle one of the best teams in the league.

397
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: That's that's what they've been doing for a year. It's

398
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: a good sign to me that Smith Schuster, I think

399
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: is here for good. Martavis Bryant's return was if he

400
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: at best interception on a ball thrown to him a

401
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 1: big loss in yardage. But I think Smith Schuster really

402
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: adds I can play, you can play. Every week he's

403
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 1: in the middle of something and offense has been up

404
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,199
Speaker 1: and down. Smith Schuster has been a guy that's been

405
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 1: making plays almost every week for the three yards ship

406
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 1: become from becoming the first Steelers rookie ever to have

407
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,120
Speaker 1: back to back one yard receiving games. Is there any

408
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 1: concern about Levi on Bell once again? Twenty six carries

409
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 1: today used in the past game as well. Do we

410
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: just say role I didn't see the game. I've had

411
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: no concerns with him. It hasn't slowed down. I mean,

412
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 1: he hasn't slowed down. You do, James Connor at this point,

413
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 1: you know, you just haven't seen many running backs have

414
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 1: that many carries and hold up. I do feel for

415
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 1: Colts fans, by the way, because there are Colts fans.

416
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: It is their season, I know, but we never talked,

417
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: never talked about them. They feel like they're pretty under

418
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: the radar. Their season has been excruciating if you're a

419
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,919
Speaker 1: Colts fan. They have blown so many fourth quarters, like

420
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: they could very easily be six and four this year

421
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: as bad as their roster is, and really they don't

422
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,400
Speaker 1: deserve it, like they have blown these fourth quarter leads

423
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: like it's nobody's business. You act like we overlook the Colts.

424
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: We've gotten exclusives with their general manager. What's your favorite

425
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: type of frog full frock. Let's move on no huddle

426
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: golf back to pass represents straight down the middle of

427
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: the field. He's got a man, no one, We'll catch

428
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: hip Robert Woods within ninety four yard touchdown from Jared

429
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: Goff and the Rams ex get their lead on the Texans,

430
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: another NFC superpower. Jared Goff through uh for a career

431
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: high in yardage, went over three hundred yards, three touchdowns,

432
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: and the Rams defense made life hell for an overmatch

433
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: Tom Savage a thirty to seven win over the Texans

434
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 1: at the Colosseum. Uh. You know this could have been

435
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: Jard Goff against the Shaun Watson a lot of fun,

436
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 1: maybe a shootout instead, we got this anyway, this game

437
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 1: changed on that ninety four yard touchdown connection from goth

438
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: to Robert Woods, who is unquestionably the most productive former

439
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: Bills wide receiver in l A mark. The seven and

440
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: two Rams can overwhelm you in an almost sneaky way. Yeah.

441
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: This this game, I would say that it boosted my

442
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 1: trust of the Rams in a big way because for

443
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 1: two plus quarters they looked like Jeff Fisher had stolen

444
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: into the building and was calling offense because they really

445
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: were asleep. And in the Texans defense with Jadeveon Clowney especially,

446
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: were fantastically on all you could ask them to do.

447
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: They did. But two things happened. A the Rams have

448
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 1: an ability and we've seen it week after week to

449
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: explode for spurts of time where it's not just yardage,

450
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: it's points, and that happened with the with the nineties

451
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: seven yard connection to Woods, and then they just take

452
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: They're also taking advantage. Their defense is also quality obviously.

453
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: And Tom Savage and if we needed any more proof,

454
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: give me a break. Two picks, two lost fumbles. He

455
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,679
Speaker 1: had a pick six called back, He nearly had another

456
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 1: pick six, and saw another past that he threw deep

457
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 1: that should have been picked off as well. W t F.

458
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: Give me a break with Tom Savage. Yeah, I think

459
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 1: that soundtrop okay. He The team is absolutely they're held

460
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: back in a way that very few quarterback backup quarterbacks

461
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: could even hope to do. Their teams. He got, he

462
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,640
Speaker 1: got first team reps last week. T J. I think

463
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: you could see you're gonna see t J. Yates because

464
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 1: it's not It's one thing if you're you're Tom Savage

465
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: and you cannot extend the play like Deshaun Watson and

466
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,679
Speaker 1: you cannot see the field like tone, Well, they're not

467
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 1: much of a line, and on top of it, you're

468
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: turning the ball over like a waterfall, and so it's like,

469
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: it's just it's too much. If you just watched the

470
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: first half of this game, though it's a close game

471
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: and Tom Savage is kind of picking the Rams apart

472
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: in the middle of the field, the first half looked

473
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,360
Speaker 1: like like again like Jeff Fisher. It looked like last

474
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 1: year's Rams. It was depressing and you thought, hmm, have

475
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 1: they figured out some way to neutralize this offense? But

476
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: it just you have to hold him down for four quite.

477
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: I don't think t J. Yates is an improvement on

478
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: Tom Savage, even though everything Tom Savage does is right.

479
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 1: This is this is the where the Kaepernick argument as

480
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: its strong case right here, just because this was a

481
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 1: team that was sort of in the mix and you

482
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 1: never know, did you have a shot in the army.

483
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: Granted Tom seven start a week one, so he likes

484
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 1: Tom Savage, but you also saw Bill O'Brien get so

485
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: frustrated when Savage doesn't see a blitz coming, which is

486
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: right in his face like that's the one that the

487
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: quarterback has to pick up, and and Bill O'Brien just

488
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 1: loses his mind afterwards, screaming about it, like how can

489
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 1: you not see that? But his mind just isn't there.

490
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 1: Um four game winning streak. They actually scored thirty three

491
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 1: points today. Four game winning streak. Now for the Rams,

492
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,439
Speaker 1: who have now outscored their opponents during that streak. One

493
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: one thing. Let's say though, you got now we're gonna

494
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 1: find out who the Rams. That's pretty good, right, all

495
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: that is all? That is all. That's pretty shiny. It

496
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 1: can't get any better. You've got the Vikings and the Saints.

497
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:54,439
Speaker 1: Then you get I guess you want to call it

498
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: maybe somewhat of a week off against the Cardinals before

499
00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: dealing with the Eagles. You basically are dealing that's a there,

500
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: there's a super Bowl run. Let's who are They are

501
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: playing the four best teams in the NFC in a

502
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: span of five weeks, which is wild. Another wild statu

503
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 1: from this game, this is the first win by the

504
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: Rams at the Coliseum other than an opening week wind.

505
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: They came back seven and two. Team they haven't even

506
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 1: been in there for like a month. That's what happens

507
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: when you play in USC stadium. Let us move on.

508
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: Brad gets it down. Lambo picked it off and it

509
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: is good. He didn't hit it very well. It barely

510
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 1: got over, but it is good. Lambo was good from

511
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: thirty yards away. And the Jaguars haven't beaten the Los

512
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 1: Angeles Charger. That ever, big field Frank Frends wild come

513
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 1: back to us. It was deflected w ch j k

514
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: L with the call, Josh Lambo kicked that thirty yard

515
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: field goal three twelve remaining in overtime. The Jaguars win

516
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: over the Los Angeles Chargers in one of the I'm

517
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: gonna say it's silliest games of the year the last

518
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 1: it greg. This game was a roller coaster. It was

519
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: like one of those final destination movies. They were like

520
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 1: screws coming up, rattling, free bodies flying all over the place.

521
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 1: And when you have that type of game and the

522
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: Chargers are involved, they're one of the dead bodies at

523
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: the end of it. Than they were like you thought

524
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 1: they were done, like finding painful ways to lose, but

525
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: blocking a field goal that goes in after Philip Rivers

526
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: throws an interception in overtime after you somehow lost the

527
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 1: game in which you had the lead at the end

528
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 1: of regulation and Blake Bortles through two interceptions in the

529
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 1: final two minutes of regulation, and yet you lost. Like

530
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 1: that's if you think about it. I don't know if

531
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 1: that's probably ever happened in NFL history. We would have

532
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: to look that up. That a quarterback who's losing two

533
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: interceptions at the end, and it was like a Blake

534
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: Bortles meltdown of epic proportions after he played three really

535
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 1: strong quarters. He couldn't not have been worse in the

536
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,479
Speaker 1: fourth course, throwing some balloons and and they still found

537
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: a way through conservative play calling and uh untimely turnovers

538
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,679
Speaker 1: between rivers and in their running back Eckler, who just

539
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 1: fumbled at the very worst time. It was a bad

540
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 1: fumble too, and I you know, I think, uh, you know,

541
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 1: the fumble rule and a lot of the rules with

542
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: the NFL annoy me. The pylon rule, which we'll get

543
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: to a little bit later. But I thought that was

544
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,880
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Someone's gotta explained to me that play. So

545
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 1: Eckler fumbles it, who scoops it up? I don't remember,

546
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: but it's it's scooped up and by a Jaguars player.

547
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 1: There is no evidence from all the angles at CBS

548
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 1: shows that he was touched. The ball seems like it's

549
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 1: squirted out from the pile. He jumped up quickly scored

550
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. They come back with a review that

551
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 1: he was down by contact, and then I gut wish.

552
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: What annoyed me the most is the official then says

553
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 1: that he was touched down by an opponent. It's like,

554
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 1: if you really believe that that's what happened, you should

555
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 1: tell the audience at home which player you think touched

556
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 1: this guy? Because nobody else saw it, and we never

557
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: saw it. We never saw a good view New York,

558
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: New York thought they saw it. That's a big play,

559
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: too open, right, because Borders after that ends up throwing

560
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 1: in an interception when they're in field goal range. And

561
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 1: then Anthony Lynn gets too conservative, doesn't let Rivers even

562
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: throw a pass there, although I guess you could argue

563
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: what Rivers did in overtime where he just throws one

564
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:27,880
Speaker 1: up just because it's kind of like a yolo play.

565
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 1: It's just like, Wow, I don't want to tie the game.

566
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: Let's just throw it up, he gets a We all

567
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 1: love Philip Rivers, but I mean, he looked like he's

568
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: about seventy nine years old on that and he's always

569
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: had an unorthodox delivery. But that was one of the

570
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 1: uglier throws you're gonna see this season. I don't know

571
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: why if you're I mean, we know who Doug Brone

572
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: is and how they've won some of the games they've won.

573
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: Blake Bortles has thrown the ball eighty nine times over

574
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 1: the past two weeks. I just I don't see that

575
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: game script, that strategy really lasting for Jackson. They really

576
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: wanted to work that stretching the fourth quarter. It felt

577
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 1: part was he went two for twelve with the two

578
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: picks and then they got They got when they got

579
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: down to the goal line. It was on a bunch

580
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 1: of pass interference calls. I still don't think this Bortals

581
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: thing is gonna work. Yeah, they're a fascinating team. They

582
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 1: are because we've known all along this is one of

583
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: the best past defenses we've seen this century. And the

584
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: run defense with Marcelli Marcel Darius is getting much stronger.

585
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: He had a good game today. They're running attack is

586
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 1: deep and talented, where they can pull guys like Yelden

587
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: who was inactive earlier the year, and he plays pretty well.

588
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 1: Corey Grant comes in and bust off long run quite often.

589
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 1: But then you have a quarterback. It's it's weird because

590
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: you see all the comparisons to great defenses with bad quarterbacks,

591
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: and I don't know if we you might have to

592
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: go back to the seventy four Steelers to find a

593
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 1: great defense with a quarterback that is mistake prone and

594
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,719
Speaker 1: it's prone to you know, brain farts like the end

595
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 1: of this game. But he had played two really too,

596
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: really solid Bortles games and three really solid quarters. And

597
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: the thing that was fascinating to me about this game

598
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: is they only started moving the ball when they let

599
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: Blake Bortles throw Their only offensive touchdown drive literally didn't

600
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: include a run. It was eleven straight passes. Leonard Fournette

601
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: went seventeen for thirty three and was benched because he

602
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: wasn't that effective for most of the fourth quarter in

603
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 1: overtime because they preferred to have yelled at an ivory

604
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: on the field. Melvin Gordon was essentially benched during the

605
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: key parts of this game because Austin Ekeler was out

606
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: playing him like it was. It was a very strange game.

607
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: But I don't think the Jaguars have much of a

608
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 1: future if they're running game is stuck with four NET

609
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: like they have. It's a concern that they can't run

610
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: the ball against the Chargers. That's a concern. It's yeah.

611
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: I mean, he it's been a bad eight days for him.

612
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: You're you're not part of the game plan last week

613
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: because of you know, klutzy all field behavior, and then

614
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: you don't show up today. But Leonard Fournette, I'm not

615
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: talking about him as a player, talking about it's a

616
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: team running attack and they haven't been able to run

617
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 1: the ball the last couple of weeks the way that

618
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 1: they would want to, whether it's for Nett or whoever.

619
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 1: And they literally set the franchise record in yards for

620
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: two in a two games stretch in the two games

621
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 1: that for net was gone, which is weird. I don't know.

622
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: I don't think that's in their head. I think it's

623
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: a coincidence. It's the opponents, but it's still weird. I

624
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: think defenses are probably selling out to stop the rock,

625
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 1: so Bortles is gonna have to make them pay, and

626
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 1: they had They had a hundred and forty plus yards

627
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 1: every week dating back to week two. Well today that

628
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: was boosted. They had a punt punt, a fake punt

629
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: got them seven points, which was fifties six yards. Like

630
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 1: the defense set up other points. My last thing is

631
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 1: we've talked about their defense so much. Their defense did

632
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: make the winning plays when it came down to a

633
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: J booy Malik Jackson with the Forest phone of the interception,

634
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 1: Like that's what great defense and they're fun to watch

635
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: on defense. Um, did you guys see the going back

636
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: to the Steelers game, that Juju Smith Schuster Levy on

637
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 1: Bell touchdown celebration. You remember that, Um, physically and then mentally,

638
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 1: I get in their mind, UM, get on today's skame.

639
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: He was talking. He wasn't taking shots at wives or

640
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: kids or anything like that, but he went after the

641
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: man's name. And now they're doing touchdown celebrations where they're

642
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 1: mocking the A J. Green uh choking thing and leave

643
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: bell on A J. Green said when they said, what

644
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: do you think A J will think about that celebration?

645
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, guess we'll see. I mean it's the

646
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: Steelers and Bengals anything they can any excuse they can

647
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 1: find to take each other down. Those teams do not

648
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 1: like headline on ESPN dot com right, J. Green did

649
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 1: find today on that raverry is a history of one

650
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: team taking the other down and the other one not responding. Yeah,

651
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 1: the top headline at ESPN dot com when we went

652
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: up to tape this podcast tonight, Steelers mock Green chokehold

653
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 1: to celebrate t d Jalen Ramsey took away this man's spirit.

654
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 1: Something to watch. This might be he might just walk away.

655
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: I mean, he put up five for one, fifteen in

656
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: the touch and he's headed to the Hall of Fames.

657
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: He's pretty quiet. He had a big seven yard touchdown.

658
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, let's move on. He's done. After the

659
00:32:54,720 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 1: firing to Murray at the three Murray died, Titans, Demark

660
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 1: may make the tax three touchdowns on the day for

661
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: DeMarco Hay that Titans take the lead with thirty six

662
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 1: ticks to Mike Keith w g f X with the call.

663
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: The Tituns continue to find ways to win. Marcus Mariota

664
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: orchestrated at twelve place seventy three yard drive that ended

665
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: with a touchdown pass yes to DeMarco Murray. That was

666
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: the difference win over the Bengals in Nashville. Greg for

667
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 1: the second straight week, yea boy, Mariota let his team

668
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 1: on an important touchdown drive. Oh he's the number one

669
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 1: quarterback and all my dreams, Well this was he was

670
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 1: West's boy. Yeah, contin Jameis Winston over here. Well, because

671
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: you've been out West, maybe this was out of respect

672
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 1: for you. He like pushed Mario because Jameis Winston has

673
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 1: been having a bad year. He's trying to steal your Marda.

674
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 1: He adopted my child. I that's what I judge. What

675
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: I see and what I see as a guy who,

676
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 1: for the second straight week, got the ball in a

677
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: situation where it's like, hey, you gotta score a touchdown

678
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: right now. He did it against the Ravens, and they

679
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 1: did it in this Bengals game, in a game that

680
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 1: should never have been so close. They had the ball

681
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 1: for more than forty minutes. In a lot of ways,

682
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 1: I think the Titans should feel good about this game.

683
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 1: The running game looked a little better. They scored a

684
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 1: great five minute touchdown drive when they absolutely needed to.

685
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: I mean, Murray really did a nice job on that

686
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:26,919
Speaker 1: touchdown or else it would have been fourth and goal

687
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 1: in this game would have been going to overtime. But

688
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 1: they blew a couple of big plays where they dropped

689
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,959
Speaker 1: a touchdown, another one was fumbled out of the end zone.

690
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: Mariota had one terrible interception, and it was way closer

691
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 1: than it needed to be. I mean, I'm I am

692
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: trying to detect at any point that we've done this

693
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 1: show a team riding a four game win streak that

694
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 1: excites me less than the type. Yeah, that's fair. They've

695
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 1: been lucky. This is the game that probably they've looked

696
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 1: the best, and even that they made, they had too

697
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 1: many self inflicted wounds for much of it. For it

698
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 1: shouldn't have been nearly as close as it was. The

699
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: most shocking fun fact to the days Vante's perfect got

700
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:03,799
Speaker 1: got kicked out of the game. Say it was the

701
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,760
Speaker 1: first objection of his career. I would have probably bet

702
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 1: my life savings, which isn't that much. It's very meager.

703
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: In fact, I don't have life savings, but if I did,

704
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 1: I would be like, oh, he's been probably ejected fourteen times,

705
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,720
Speaker 1: but honestly easily three times. I would have been question

706
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: three times it doesn't count when he ejected himself and

707
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 1: ran straight into the locker room if they intercepted. And

708
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 1: he's been suspended multiple time and in this case he

709
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: was fired up. It was a pretty touch call that

710
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 1: he got screwed penalized, and then it was even it

711
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 1: was very touched on, you know, contacting the official and

712
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 1: getting thrown out that one. You understand the penalty. I mean,

713
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 1: when you turn yourself into a sheet wall as you

714
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 1: can't be surprised when they throw you out of the game.

715
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 1: That's that's how it works. Let's move on, Stafford out

716
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 1: of the gun, Let's come. Stafford's gotta get rid of it.

717
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:54,360
Speaker 1: Rose Deep got out the touch staff the lines, Stafford

718
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 1: laid it up. Eric called it in twenty nine yards

719
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: and the Lions for back on top. Ann Miller w

720
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 1: j R. What they called Matthew Stafford connected on that

721
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 1: tiebreaking touchdown to Eric Ebron early in the fourth quarter

722
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,800
Speaker 1: of the line survived the scare from the Browns a

723
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: thirty eight to win at Ford Field, Mark Sessler. Cleveland

724
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: actually had seen lead in this game in the second

725
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 1: half before the Wheels came off. How did Detroit take control, Well,

726
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 1: they scored the game's final twenty one points. And I

727
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: mean Cleveland's defense, which has had streaks, has quarters here

728
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,720
Speaker 1: and there where they looked more than competent this time around.

729
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: It's just that the I think the floor fell out

730
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 1: at the end, and in Matthew Stafford, the guy that

731
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 1: we saw on Monday Night football, started to make those

732
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 1: plays in the final seventeen eighteen minutes of this game. Cleveland,

733
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 1: I thought they got the best performance they've had all

734
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 1: season from Kaiser uh It's that's not saying much. He's

735
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 1: had some disastrous starts, but they ran for over two

736
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,399
Speaker 1: hundred yards and took advantage of Detroit's defense. Detroit though,

737
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: like they're the kind of team that you can't count

738
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 1: on them even though they're playing a bad team to

739
00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 1: come in and wipe them out. And they this was

740
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: they kind of got their act together late and it

741
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 1: was it was scared is a good way to put it.

742
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 1: What they do they play in the fourth quarter. Yeah,

743
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 1: that's their move. They're gonna use it. Kenny Gallady, by

744
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 1: the way, had a you have to go watch this

745
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 1: catch he made along the sidewine before he went about

746
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 1: fifty yards total. It is the bit one of the

747
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 1: best catches I've seen in years, which is not surprising

748
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 1: from him, but Golden Tate, who was basically big to

749
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 1: have him back to game back in about five it

750
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 1: did help, although you wouldn't see the passing game from

751
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 1: what we saw against Green Bay to today it was.

752
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: It was not happening until it happened in spurts late.

753
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 1: Now I feel bad because if you're gonna say one

754
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 1: of the best catches you've seen in years, Maurice Harris

755
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 1: had one of the most tremendous catches, maybe the catch

756
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: of the season, I thought. In Washington today off the

757
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: practice squad made an O. B J type catch West.

758
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:48,320
Speaker 1: What are you gonna say, Oh, I've declared war onlines fans.

759
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,360
Speaker 1: They're already there. They were already on my radar for

760
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: the way in which they command respect for mediocrity. Oh,

761
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: the outrage of not giving my mediocre team not credit.

762
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 1: But when I called Golden Tate a poor man's Percy

763
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 1: Harvin apparent apparently that just Tomate. This made them to

764
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 1: no end. Percy Harvin, who is on a totally different

765
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 1: level talent wise, power, speed, agility than Golden Tate, not

766
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 1: even in the same class of athlete Percy Harvin, who

767
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 1: was once traded for a first round pick and two

768
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 1: more picks and the team had to make him the

769
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 1: fifth highest paid receiver in the NFL. Give me a

770
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 1: break that Golden Tate would ever be traded for that.

771
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,839
Speaker 1: Also three years ago, I sat in this podcast for

772
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 1: hours and debated against Greg about how good Golden Tate was,

773
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: and then he was one of the most underrated players

774
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 1: in the NFL. So Lions fans quit being Homer's this

775
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 1: is impressive by Wes, And I'll tell you why. West

776
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 1: is the one that made the Percy Harvin uh comparison.

777
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 1: And then you walked right into his trap, and then

778
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 1: you came to him and said that's not fair. Golden

779
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: Tate's better. And then West comes on the air Sunday

780
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 1: and just buries you. I would question anyone's eye for

781
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 1: football if you think Golden Taint is as talented as

782
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 1: Percy Harll. I I know that West is starting to

783
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 1: feel good and he's starting to feel back. And the

784
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: minute I really knew it is when I checked on

785
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:17,800
Speaker 1: Twitter Saturday night and I thought, what the hell is happening?

786
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,919
Speaker 1: There is twenty seven different things I am mentioned on

787
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 1: in a debate between West and the Lions fans about

788
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 1: Percy Harvon that included him challenging people to go back

789
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 1: and watch the tape, including West going back and actually

790
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 1: walked in the tape to confirm it and him burying

791
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 1: all twenty seven watched what has Happened to My feed?

792
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 1: I watched all eight of Percy Harvin's two thousand twelve

793
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:44,320
Speaker 1: games the other night, and he was an absolute phenomen

794
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 1: Don't don't give me this Golden Tate rubbing before before

795
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 1: we move on from this game. The lines are kind

796
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:53,839
Speaker 1: of a good example of how crazy deep the NFC is.

797
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 1: Ten teams are at least five and four better. So

798
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 1: if you're if you're the Redskins, for instance, who lost

799
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 1: this week to go war and five, you're you're at

800
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: number eleven. I mean you that that four and five

801
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: in the NFC feels very different from the a f C.

802
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 1: It's like the Lions and teams that are five and four,

803
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 1: they have a lot of work to do, even though

804
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: they have a winning record. Uh. Coming up next for

805
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:16,399
Speaker 1: the lines, By the way, if you have an easy

806
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 1: schedule of the at Chicago home to Minnesota at Baltimore.

807
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 1: Uh so I gotta win two of those, you'd think,

808
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:28,360
Speaker 1: let's move on shotgun formulation. Fitzpatrick takes us out pressure

809
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 1: coming about called ball touchdowns, have a touchdown, Charles Simms,

810
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 1: nobody pricked him off the flincher Fitzpatrick hetty pulled the

811
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 1: trigger and the Bucks fired the proper's way and fire

812
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:43,760
Speaker 1: the carriage tire him. Jean Decker off w x TB

813
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 1: with the call yes. Ryan Fitzpatrick through that game, icing

814
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:50,800
Speaker 1: touchdown past the Charles sim Simms and limited his mistakes

815
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 1: as the Bucks and after five game losing streak with

816
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 1: a ten win over my Jets, Josh McCown uh and

817
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: the New York offense listless from the first possession until

818
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 1: garb time, telling less than two hundred yards of total offense.

819
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 1: I warned you, Subreddit, you gotta give them the prices

820
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 1: right losing horn and then he certainly don't lock up

821
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 1: the Jets on the road, especially when there's a lot

822
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:21,360
Speaker 1: of evidence out there to say the Jets are maybe okay.

823
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:23,839
Speaker 1: They This is always I don't care who you take

824
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 1: out of the locked up the Jets subredit sub over there,

825
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 1: Greg's right that tweet, like how do you know what

826
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 1: I was talking about part of the internet that you

827
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 1: have never visited? Apparently, No, I don't. I don't think

828
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 1: it's good. I don't think it's good to have like

829
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 1: an echo chamber. You don't want to read your own

830
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 1: what people are saying about you. Alright, A fascinating look

831
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:46,880
Speaker 1: into Greg soul. They're anyway. Thank you to all the

832
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 1: fans that support us on the subreddit. Yeah. So the

833
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 1: Jets were always vulnerable in this game, because if you

834
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 1: watched them this season, this was always possible. But it's

835
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 1: still a terrible loss that removes uh any any hope.

836
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: I think have at four and six. They have to

837
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,839
Speaker 1: win a lot of games to close the season, and

838
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 1: dropping a game that was winnable on paper, it's just

839
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:12,840
Speaker 1: there's no coming back. Now they're forked. They had to

840
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: win this game. I was saying they could get back

841
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:16,800
Speaker 1: to five and five and in the a f C

842
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 1: that you were just talking about anything that happened. But

843
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:22,840
Speaker 1: now it's over. I think I would. I think the

844
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 1: interesting part is reading bands recap of this game, at

845
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,280
Speaker 1: what point in the season do they pull the plug

846
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 1: on the cown and look at one of the younger guys.

847
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 1: And at that point, I think the Jets are going

848
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:36,959
Speaker 1: to find out how bad those younger guys are. Yeah,

849
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: I think they're an interesting position because obviously four and

850
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 1: six and they're probably heading towards ten or eleven losses.

851
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 1: You would think, um, especially if they put in these kids.

852
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,319
Speaker 1: But and there's no sense putting in a thirty keeping

853
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 1: a thirty eight year old in when you're not going anywhere.

854
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 1: But I also you don't get the feeling and and

855
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 1: following this team that they really think either of those

856
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,799
Speaker 1: guys is the Yeah, well don't that's disrespectful to the

857
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:04,839
Speaker 1: rest of the team. Just like if if those guys

858
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 1: aren't the guys and they're not going to be the future,

859
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 1: just try to win the games accounts. But I know

860
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 1: it wasn't good today, And this shows that they're capable

861
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 1: of anything in a negative sense because this they played

862
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:18,959
Speaker 1: the most lifeless, worst defense, worst team in the league. Really,

863
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,280
Speaker 1: over the last month they didn't do anything. But unless

864
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 1: this happens for a month straight, if you're getting the

865
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:26,359
Speaker 1: Josh McCown you stopper eight or nine weeks, you gotta

866
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 1: keep mins. Well, you gotta watch this game because this

867
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:30,400
Speaker 1: was kind of like it was a game. We get

868
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 1: two journeyman quarterbacks, guys that have been on a hundred teams,

869
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:36,319
Speaker 1: and McCown looked like the guy that's when he's been

870
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:39,439
Speaker 1: off in past years. How he looked in I think

871
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:42,400
Speaker 1: it's worth checking out them just because what else are

872
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 1: gonna do? You gotta play the rest of the schedule.

873
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:45,719
Speaker 1: But it doesn't mean that they need to do it

874
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:48,400
Speaker 1: immediately because one of these guys is opening the season.

875
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 1: One thing, there is literally no way, if you're Mike

876
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,720
Speaker 1: mccagnet that you can sell this fan base on any

877
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 1: level that Bryce Petty or Christian Hackenburgh are your are

878
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:01,240
Speaker 1: your quarterback for next season? Absolutely not. And we saw

879
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:05,240
Speaker 1: Hackenburg in a lifeless preseason where there's no pass rush,

880
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:07,880
Speaker 1: there's no scheming, and he was abysmal. I just I

881
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 1: don't know what you're telling your teammate. Eight teams in

882
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:14,840
Speaker 1: your pocket? Pet done with Petty? Though? Do you honestly

883
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:17,359
Speaker 1: think Petty has any chance to be the Jets long

884
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:19,799
Speaker 1: term into quarterback. Don't you think they know that? Maybe

885
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 1: they see him as a backup. I just think, like

886
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 1: I mean, McCown came into this game with a chance

887
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 1: to become the highest completion percentage leader in Jets history.

888
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 1: He's had I'm just saying, Josh McCown has done more

889
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:35,399
Speaker 1: than anyone expected him. Sister and fast. Five days ago,

890
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 1: you were thinking I was a jerk for wanting to

891
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:41,879
Speaker 1: fork um. Now you want to see you have enough

892
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:44,400
Speaker 1: victory parades, and that's not a victory. I'm saying like

893
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 1: it's four and six. He's saying that after they lost bucks,

894
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: though not when they does not make more sense before

895
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:52,880
Speaker 1: this game happened. Now it makes sense to me. I

896
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 1: just wanted to see how Sunday played out, and I

897
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 1: kind of suspicions this is going to happen, and it did.

898
00:44:57,320 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: I'm I'm laming for an apology from the rest of

899
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 1: his room. Why because all of the shots he took

900
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 1: at me for my Josh McCown love for the lad

901
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 1: he's made the lead, he's making the leap as well.

902
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:11,000
Speaker 1: All of the shots they were taken over and over again.

903
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:14,279
Speaker 1: And my only point was he's a perfectly respectable placeholder

904
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 1: at quarterback. I thought you said he was one of

905
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:17,880
Speaker 1: the greatest of all time. That's how I could remember

906
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 1: that he outplayed Jay Cutler, which I mean I dealt

907
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 1: with him, his Cleveland's quarterback for two years. I feel

908
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 1: like I was part at least allowed myself to suffer.

909
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:28,920
Speaker 1: I wasn't just taking shots, all right, Let's move on

910
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:32,759
Speaker 1: on second to nine. A snapped Hunley looking scrambles to

911
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:38,920
Speaker 1: his right, throws the right side for Adam stinning Adams

912
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 1: a spinning gravel on the right corner of the end zone.

913
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:45,720
Speaker 1: Wayne Larvy w T MJ with a call Brat Hunley

914
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 1: through for two hundred twelve yards and a touchdown to

915
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 1: Davante Adams as the Packers end of the three game

916
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 1: losing streak over the Chicago Bears, who taught us a

917
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:59,400
Speaker 1: lesson in recency bias. Mark green Bay looked like a

918
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 1: lost six days ago. What was different today? Well, I

919
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:05,920
Speaker 1: saw I saw stepping stones. I saw steps from Brett Hunley.

920
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 1: I feel like you saw a couple of throws. He

921
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:10,239
Speaker 1: had a touchdown two atoms, which I think that was

922
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 1: the call right there? Well it was, and and they

923
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 1: were immediately calling an Aaron Rodgers like throw all I'll

924
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 1: say this, it was the best throw that Hunley has

925
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 1: made all year, and all you want to see, It's

926
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 1: like you can't ask for it the minute he's put

927
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 1: on the field out of nowhere, having never really played

928
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 1: in a real game situation. It's taken some weeks. This

929
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 1: is a good defense he faced, and he made some throws.

930
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 1: He kept the offense alive, and they lost Aaron Jones

931
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 1: early in the game, so he didn't have you know,

932
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 1: his number one back out there supporting the way he

933
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:40,520
Speaker 1: did in pass games where the running game was working.

934
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 1: Everything was working around Hunley except Hunley. This was a

935
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:45,239
Speaker 1: little bit of a growth move for him. I think

936
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:46,759
Speaker 1: it was a promising game. I don't know what it

937
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 1: means for the Packers long term, but I mean their

938
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:53,239
Speaker 1: season is over if they lose this one today. They're

939
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 1: the only team with a winning record that's been forked.

940
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 1: So they've got that motivational gambit in their back pocket.

941
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 1: If anyone would like to deliver that news to them,

942
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:08,320
Speaker 1: because I am certain they don't know that West tooken

943
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 1: l today as well. I am perfectly willing to take

944
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:13,960
Speaker 1: a loss in the lock game if it makes the

945
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 1: Packers more watchable and maybe for a few minutes, shuts

946
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 1: up the people who think it's a bright idea, the

947
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 1: people who think that because we haven't seen Coln Kaepernick

948
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 1: for a while. He's Johnny Unitis and off of his

949
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 1: couch will come in and do a better job than

950
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 1: a guy that Mark Mike McCarthy has been grooming and

951
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:32,799
Speaker 1: developing for three years. How did uh do we like

952
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 1: uh Mitch Drobiskie at all in this game? At least

953
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 1: they let him throw thirty five times. People are kind

954
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:40,399
Speaker 1: of waiting for that coming out of a bye week

955
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:43,399
Speaker 1: that you know, maybe, well, they couldn't run the ball.

956
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 1: I think when they couldn't run the ball, it wasn't

957
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 1: I don't think they went in hoping he'd throw the

958
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:50,360
Speaker 1: ball thirty five times. But I think every week Strabisky

959
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:53,959
Speaker 1: shows you a little bit about why he is someone

960
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,480
Speaker 1: that they trust to start week after week. He's beautiful

961
00:47:56,560 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 1: rollout passer. The most John fox Is moment, though, happened

962
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:06,720
Speaker 1: today when Benny Cunningham beautiful passenger Serbiski runs touchdown, long, long, touchdown,

963
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 1: catch and run and he's diving and he has the

964
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 1: ball and it's and it's about to touch the pylon.

965
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:15,240
Speaker 1: The ball comes a little loose and Fox basically challenged

966
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 1: it to confirm that it was a touchdown versus him

967
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 1: being down earlier in the like the one yard line

968
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 1: and the refs reverse it and to say touchback Packers ball.

969
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:25,319
Speaker 1: That that Fox his fault, but you know it is

970
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:27,799
Speaker 1: his fault that the results end up being. That is

971
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 1: probably the worst challenge in his It was bad about

972
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:33,800
Speaker 1: he literally gave the ball to the other other team

973
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 1: was at a first thing goal. I was rooting hard

974
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:41,120
Speaker 1: in this game quietly for West to be right because

975
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:45,760
Speaker 1: I'm worried now that the Packers won that the flex

976
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 1: Nola movement put in the Rams and Saints. It's going great.

977
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:53,480
Speaker 1: We've had lots oft Twitter. You know, I appreciate everyone

978
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 1: out there that's been tweeting about it's been getting and

979
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:58,840
Speaker 1: getting a lot of tweets hashtag flex Nola jumping on

980
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:01,279
Speaker 1: that it's not too eight to let the NFL know,

981
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:03,680
Speaker 1: get the Packers out of prime time in Week twelve

982
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:06,799
Speaker 1: and put one of the most entertaining, exciting NFL games

983
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 1: in the year on Sunday Night football. Some people like

984
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:11,960
Speaker 1: Martin Luther King go out and help civil rights. Gregg

985
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 1: is trying to flex the game into the schedule three

986
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 1: or four weeks from now. And if there's one thing

987
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 1: we learned when we appeal to the League office through

988
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 1: this podcast, like sending us to London, for instance. They

989
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 1: will act and they'll say, Wow, this show has a

990
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 1: great foothold in the UK, let's get him there because

991
00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 1: we're smart business people. For Ef Hutton's right here. They

992
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:33,480
Speaker 1: just simply perk up the ears. We act off what

993
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:37,759
Speaker 1: they say. Um, okay, what's the opposite of cash? That's

994
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:41,680
Speaker 1: what we have? Um all right for? By the way,

995
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 1: Ford and move on. Didn't you Greg lock up the

996
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 1: Jets on Thursday? I locked up the Titans? You old

997
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:52,799
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans, remember you? What do you mean you guys

998
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:55,240
Speaker 1: made fun of you made fun of that? You didn't

999
00:49:55,239 --> 00:50:00,800
Speaker 1: think it was everybody gave him some? They weren't. They weren't.

1000
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 1: They were too small. Oh you know what it was?

1001
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 1: You know. I threw it to the Kissing Cousins and

1002
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:07,239
Speaker 1: then West ruled that you had to the end of

1003
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:09,560
Speaker 1: the show to decide. And then yeah, and I never

1004
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:13,240
Speaker 1: I never really visited. So we know what really happened.

1005
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:19,879
Speaker 1: What really happened When one for two pick as well,

1006
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 1: I said, no, I'm gonna stick with it. Let's second second,

1007
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 1: We'll let a t N lock up the side you

1008
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 1: know they'll figure out, seems saying that seems like a

1009
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 1: neutral arbiter. Is that scene fair, Gret? That's fine. We're

1010
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 1: playing for last place. I trying to extra loss. There's no,

1011
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:40,279
Speaker 1: there's no didn't actually pick the deaths, but given to me.

1012
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:42,720
Speaker 1: There's no lock up draft. Greg's trying to be gained

1013
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:45,920
Speaker 1: from this. Let's I kind of like it. Let's check

1014
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 1: in with the other downtrodden New York team. Bethrod under center.

1015
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:53,799
Speaker 1: Giants bring extra people, Towns pick it up. Get Bethard time.

1016
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 1: He takes the deep shot for good. One down the middle. Good,

1017
00:50:56,280 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 1: one's got the thirty. There's the whole touchdowns eighty three

1018
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:09,320
Speaker 1: yards A long time coming. Ted Robinson sounds like a

1019
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:11,920
Speaker 1: guy has been waiting to call play like that. Uh

1020
00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:16,240
Speaker 1: there was the uh. San Francisco forty Niners are off infamy.

1021
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 1: Watch c J. Beth threw two touchdown passes. He completed

1022
00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:23,920
Speaker 1: more than his passes. It's the forty Niners cruised passed

1023
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:31,480
Speaker 1: deep at that big bell bottom. That ends a nine

1024
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:34,400
Speaker 1: game losing streak for the Niners and leaves the Browns

1025
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:38,799
Speaker 1: is the NFL's lone winless team. The Giants. Meanwhile, they

1026
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 1: may be in the dark West. I'm leaning on you.

1027
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:44,520
Speaker 1: You're a football historian. Uh, they may be in the

1028
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 1: darkest places of franchise hell since maybe pre Parcels. Yeah,

1029
00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:51,880
Speaker 1: I'd say late seventies, early eighties, and they were in

1030
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:55,759
Speaker 1: a very dark place then for extended time. Yeah. I

1031
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:58,120
Speaker 1: was thinking about it because I grew up in New

1032
00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:01,239
Speaker 1: York obviously, and around all Giants fans, very few Jets

1033
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 1: fans in the town where I grew up, and so

1034
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:06,200
Speaker 1: I've been very close to this team since the eighties,

1035
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:08,520
Speaker 1: and they've had bad seasons, the Giants. So one of

1036
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:11,160
Speaker 1: the reasons there's such a great organization is they can

1037
00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 1: come out of those uh those valleys and then they

1038
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:17,360
Speaker 1: put together little runs of multiple years. So you have

1039
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:20,440
Speaker 1: to kind of go back to maybe post Parcels, Ray

1040
00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:24,879
Speaker 1: Hanley into Dave Brown, but that was never as what's

1041
00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:26,400
Speaker 1: happening right here, So you might have to have to

1042
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:28,759
Speaker 1: go back to Ray Perkins and to a Giants fan

1043
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:32,640
Speaker 1: base that was exceedingly loyal and had It's basically similar

1044
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:35,360
Speaker 1: to before the Steelers in the seventies became a powerhouse

1045
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:38,000
Speaker 1: with that city went through for decades and decades. It

1046
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:40,480
Speaker 1: was that long in New York. I remember or being

1047
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:43,200
Speaker 1: old enough where friends fathers when they finally won the

1048
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:46,280
Speaker 1: Super Bowl were crying. It had been they had waited

1049
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 1: since they were kids. Basically, Well, the difference, you know

1050
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:51,320
Speaker 1: with this team is people picking them to win the

1051
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:54,080
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. That's what makes it. No, I'm just saying

1052
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 1: it's especially ugly. I didn't even mean you at this point,

1053
00:52:57,719 --> 00:53:00,360
Speaker 1: like so many people had them. Yeah, you know what,

1054
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:02,399
Speaker 1: I I can't. Here's why I'm gonna disagree. And I'll

1055
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:05,080
Speaker 1: tell you one thing. Yes, you're suffering one of these

1056
00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:08,400
Speaker 1: sort of aberration. You're gonna go two and fourteen. But

1057
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:11,279
Speaker 1: they're gonna it's the end of Eli Manning's career, and

1058
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:13,480
Speaker 1: if there is a quarterback that emerges, they're gonna have

1059
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:15,279
Speaker 1: the first, second or third pick in the draft and

1060
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 1: the chance to go from Eli Manning to another potentials

1061
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:23,280
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback, which is good timing. The Manning brothers do this, baby, baby,

1062
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:27,040
Speaker 1: but they just I just mean in this season, in

1063
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:31,080
Speaker 1: this defense, especially giving up four hundred and seventy four

1064
00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:35,480
Speaker 1: yards to c J. Bethred and Matt Breda and Louis

1065
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:38,680
Speaker 1: Murphy who has just signed off the off the street

1066
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 1: and someone named Kendrick Bourne, who is an undrafted player

1067
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:46,719
Speaker 1: from American making plays on you the numbers eight point

1068
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:49,560
Speaker 1: two yards for to play. This is Kyle Shanahan's Falcons.

1069
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 1: Like when the Giants defense steps on the field, pretty

1070
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:55,880
Speaker 1: much the worst offense in the league, the Forts or

1071
00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:58,400
Speaker 1: one of them at least turns into the two thousand

1072
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:03,000
Speaker 1: and sixteen Falcons. Genera's wasn't even trying to make tackles today,

1073
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:05,839
Speaker 1: And when they tried to interview him after the game,

1074
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:08,600
Speaker 1: a PR person literally was trying to keep him in

1075
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:10,840
Speaker 1: the locker room so that he would answer questions, and

1076
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:14,160
Speaker 1: he muscled pass and got the the PR person out

1077
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:16,960
Speaker 1: of the way. Mike Florio's reporting that Ben McAdoo might

1078
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:19,239
Speaker 1: not even make it into next week it is about

1079
00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:21,960
Speaker 1: as ugly as a game that's bad by Jack Roberts.

1080
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:26,279
Speaker 1: I was wondering what Jack Rabbit did to have half

1081
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:29,080
Speaker 1: the beat writers of the Jaire fired up and all

1082
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:31,839
Speaker 1: the Fantasy football Twitter demanding did he get yanked off

1083
00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:34,160
Speaker 1: the field for effort? There was a There were two

1084
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:37,960
Speaker 1: different plays at least that they highlighted in the in

1085
00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:41,400
Speaker 1: the highlight reels where you know the forty Niners scored,

1086
00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:45,160
Speaker 1: and it didn't seem like Jenkins was going too far

1087
00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:46,880
Speaker 1: out of his way to this tackle. The I mean

1088
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 1: better just sacked fourteen times in the three games coming

1089
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:51,480
Speaker 1: into this. He was getting beaten up to the point

1090
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 1: where you thought, maybe you don't put Garoppolo in there

1091
00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:57,080
Speaker 1: because he's gonna suffering. She potentially wasn't touched today. They

1092
00:54:57,120 --> 00:54:59,359
Speaker 1: gave up fifty one points to the Rams. Last week

1093
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:01,560
Speaker 1: the Giants, this was the worst law. I think everything

1094
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:03,560
Speaker 1: it's gonna be in everything must go. A situation with

1095
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:07,120
Speaker 1: the Giants, I think it's Ben mcadoo's obviously gone. I

1096
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:09,640
Speaker 1: think Jerry Reese could end up be gone gone because

1097
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:12,480
Speaker 1: as much credit as he got for that free agent

1098
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:15,080
Speaker 1: hall last year, now with things what's happening with Jack

1099
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:17,040
Speaker 1: Rabbit and d r C who I don't think it

1100
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:19,200
Speaker 1: was last year hook up pick up, but he was

1101
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:21,920
Speaker 1: a big signing by Reese. I mean these I think

1102
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:24,279
Speaker 1: they might just hit the button and and it goes

1103
00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:26,360
Speaker 1: all the way to the top, perhaps trading up or

1104
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:28,520
Speaker 1: being in the top three and getting a quarterback and

1105
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:31,399
Speaker 1: just starting over. It could certainly happen, and if it does,

1106
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:34,080
Speaker 1: it was a great, great run. And if they have

1107
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:38,960
Speaker 1: they players. Uh, if this is how it ends, well,

1108
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:41,800
Speaker 1: a Giants bench is as much as the sucks. I

1109
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:43,600
Speaker 1: I'm sure it does. I get it. Been in the

1110
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:46,240
Speaker 1: in the situation. You had a great run with Eli

1111
00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:49,680
Speaker 1: and and Reese and Coughlin into McAdoo. But now you

1112
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:51,640
Speaker 1: gotta it's the new journey. Yeah, I mean, give me

1113
00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:54,640
Speaker 1: a break with total darkness. It's a better They won

1114
00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:56,879
Speaker 1: two Super Bowls. It's worth knowing that with that one

1115
00:55:56,960 --> 00:55:59,560
Speaker 1: and out last year was the only playoff game they've

1116
00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 1: been in in the last six seasons, so it has

1117
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:05,880
Speaker 1: been not dark like this, but it hasn't had a

1118
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:08,719
Speaker 1: lot of success since since that. Soon that's unrest too,

1119
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:12,680
Speaker 1: so you would think he's very vulnerable. Thought. Yeah, when

1120
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:15,560
Speaker 1: you're building through free agency, you're building a roster, not

1121
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:18,120
Speaker 1: a team, and I think this is the downside of that.

1122
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:26,520
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on Sunday night, mcmatics Tea's up

1123
00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:29,960
Speaker 1: to kick off toward Lewis kicks sailing two yards into

1124
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:33,120
Speaker 1: the end zone. Left side was sprist pass. A look

1125
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:36,680
Speaker 1: at the lay end of the thirties cuts the who

1126
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:40,400
Speaker 1: in the four silo pushing running the block goes to

1127
00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:43,520
Speaker 1: the tener sliding right to the end zone, wired the

1128
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:49,800
Speaker 1: wire Lewis touchdown, Patriots Bob Soci and the Zolac with

1129
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:54,160
Speaker 1: the call w b Z. He's going by the Zolac

1130
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:57,600
Speaker 1: at this point. Let's fly. Uh. The New England Patriots,

1131
00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:01,719
Speaker 1: led by Dion Lewis is one in three yard kickoff

1132
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:06,400
Speaker 1: return UH trouts the Denver Broncos on Sunday Night Football

1133
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:10,560
Speaker 1: at forty one to six team final. Uh. And this

1134
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:14,919
Speaker 1: was a game, Greg Rosenthal, that you could have tried

1135
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:18,760
Speaker 1: to get yourself talk yourself into. The Broncos last stand. Oh,

1136
00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:22,680
Speaker 1: Tom Brady has struggled against Denver Broncos at mile high.

1137
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:25,280
Speaker 1: But you know what, this is the tale of two teams.

1138
00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:27,959
Speaker 1: One team in the Broncos and the Patriots is getting

1139
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:29,880
Speaker 1: better and better, and one team in the Broncos that

1140
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:32,400
Speaker 1: is just going down the toilet. Yeah, they don't look

1141
00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:34,640
Speaker 1: like a good, a well coached team, the Broncos. I

1142
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:37,560
Speaker 1: thought that if you're if the Broncos are gonna get

1143
00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:39,600
Speaker 1: blown out in this game, the reason is gonna be

1144
00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:43,360
Speaker 1: Brock Osweiler. And yet brock Osweiler can't believe it. I

1145
00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:45,680
Speaker 1: can't believe it that he really didn't have that much

1146
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:49,480
Speaker 1: of a factor in this final score. The Broncos scored

1147
00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:52,960
Speaker 1: their offense on four of their first five possessions. What

1148
00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:55,160
Speaker 1: more do you want out of brock Osweiler? And they

1149
00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:58,560
Speaker 1: were trailing by three plus scores at that time. The

1150
00:57:58,680 --> 00:58:02,360
Speaker 1: special teams alone for Denver made mistakes that led to

1151
00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:06,120
Speaker 1: twenty four points, either directly or indirectly because the Patriots

1152
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:09,160
Speaker 1: scored after it. My question would be this that people

1153
00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:12,400
Speaker 1: looked at what happened when Denver ran into an Eagles

1154
00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:14,680
Speaker 1: buzz saw last week and gave up fifty one point,

1155
00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:18,200
Speaker 1: you're now giving up ninety plus in two weeks. Are

1156
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:21,000
Speaker 1: we allowed to be concerned about Denver's defense or are

1157
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:24,720
Speaker 1: they still seen as some sort of super Bowl level outfit.

1158
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:26,040
Speaker 1: I don't see them that. I mean, that would be

1159
00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:30,240
Speaker 1: really straight. But but even twelve hours ago, people were saying, well,

1160
00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:32,600
Speaker 1: because that was because they had played seven or eight

1161
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:35,320
Speaker 1: seven really solid games. I would say it two very good,

1162
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:38,280
Speaker 1: and the Eagles game looked like an outlier. And now

1163
00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:40,200
Speaker 1: they've got two games like this in a row. I

1164
00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:42,840
Speaker 1: think they've earned some of that respect and benefited doubt.

1165
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:45,160
Speaker 1: But but when you give up ninety two points over

1166
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:48,400
Speaker 1: a two week stretch that there's definitely a reason to

1167
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:52,120
Speaker 1: be skeptical and start looking for whether it runs deeper.

1168
00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:54,920
Speaker 1: I know Chris Harris was talking about the absence of

1169
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:57,400
Speaker 1: t J. Ward last week. I don't know if there's

1170
00:58:57,400 --> 00:59:00,280
Speaker 1: still some hurt feelings there. So who knows how deep

1171
00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:03,720
Speaker 1: that run Another Tom Brady he gets kind of overlooked

1172
00:59:03,760 --> 00:59:08,680
Speaker 1: in these conversations. But uh, thirty four three more touchdowns,

1173
00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:12,479
Speaker 1: no picks, passer rating of one point four before Brian

1174
00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:14,600
Speaker 1: Hoyer took some garbage snaps at the end of the game.

1175
00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:16,680
Speaker 1: He is right there at the top of the m

1176
00:59:16,760 --> 00:59:19,960
Speaker 1: v P race. He's doing it making it look easy. Uh,

1177
00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:23,680
Speaker 1: And I think I think he might be beating father time.

1178
00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:27,440
Speaker 1: So that's good. It seems to be gradual. It's an improvement.

1179
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:30,120
Speaker 1: It's a gradual incline. He is you know, you said

1180
00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:32,040
Speaker 1: it was. You think he's throwing the ball better since

1181
00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:33,560
Speaker 1: the start of last season than he ever has in

1182
00:59:33,640 --> 00:59:36,560
Speaker 1: his career. I find it interesting that people attached himself

1183
00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:39,040
Speaker 1: to ideas and then like the whole country gets behind it,

1184
00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:40,960
Speaker 1: Like Carson Wentz is an m v P and Tom

1185
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:44,160
Speaker 1: Brady's not. Brady has played circles around Wentz this year.

1186
00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:46,760
Speaker 1: I I love what Wentz has done. He's been spectacular,

1187
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 1: but Brady has been more consistent in a better pass

1188
00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:51,640
Speaker 1: or doesn't that happen to the to New England though.

1189
00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:53,840
Speaker 1: It's like every year the coach of the Year goes

1190
00:59:53,920 --> 00:59:56,600
Speaker 1: to someone who what a flowery, nice story. You went

1191
00:59:56,640 --> 00:59:58,600
Speaker 1: from five and eleven to nine and seven. You're the

1192
00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:00,480
Speaker 1: coach of the year. Belichick is been the coach of

1193
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:02,600
Speaker 1: the year every year. Tom Brady is the m v

1194
01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:05,000
Speaker 1: P and Aaron Rodgers every year. It's the same thing

1195
01:00:05,160 --> 01:00:07,640
Speaker 1: we talk about year and a year out of this podcast.

1196
01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:10,400
Speaker 1: Everybody's sick of it. Everyone he gets used it with

1197
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:12,720
Speaker 1: the throne of ease and all that. But I understand

1198
01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:15,880
Speaker 1: that that that Brady should not be overlooked by by

1199
01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:19,520
Speaker 1: any stretch. And the numbers are there. Look, let's let's

1200
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:21,520
Speaker 1: be honest. The Patriots are once again on their way

1201
01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:24,520
Speaker 1: to another thirteen or you know, twelve or thirteen wins,

1202
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:27,080
Speaker 1: and he's the main reason why their their offense is

1203
01:00:27,120 --> 01:00:31,080
Speaker 1: getting better throughout the season. I believe. I think Brandon

1204
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:33,240
Speaker 1: Cooks has added an element that they didn't have before.

1205
01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:35,760
Speaker 1: Martellis Bennett ends up playing in this game, has had

1206
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:38,120
Speaker 1: a twenty seven yard catch. I'm sure that you know

1207
01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 1: annoyed Packers fans out there, but I think he adds

1208
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:43,560
Speaker 1: an important element to their offense because they're are They're

1209
01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:46,960
Speaker 1: the ultimate matchup team there. A whole point is to

1210
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:49,920
Speaker 1: get their running backs and now a few of their

1211
01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:53,480
Speaker 1: tight ends matched up in advantageous situations on the outside.

1212
01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:56,880
Speaker 1: I kind of don't know why other teams don't do

1213
01:00:57,040 --> 01:00:59,280
Speaker 1: that more. I guess they don't have enough pass catching

1214
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:01,680
Speaker 1: backs like that is their offense right now, and Brady

1215
01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:04,080
Speaker 1: is the best that choosing who has the right matchup,

1216
01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:06,440
Speaker 1: and I think adding Bennett really adds a lot to that.

1217
01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:09,760
Speaker 1: Greg the Patriots for one in three in the preseason,

1218
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:12,520
Speaker 1: I know that that concerned you. Are you over that

1219
01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:17,160
Speaker 1: concern now with them searching about iron? Did I ever

1220
01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:19,840
Speaker 1: say about that about tonight when Tommy Boy had a

1221
01:01:19,880 --> 01:01:22,720
Speaker 1: three and out in the first drive, Well, this game,

1222
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:26,840
Speaker 1: you know, and then the next play, of course, a

1223
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:29,080
Speaker 1: muffpunt and the game was over at that point. They

1224
01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:32,240
Speaker 1: they have been extremely lucky, I believe this season with

1225
01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:35,240
Speaker 1: plays like that. I think that helps explain why they're

1226
01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:38,560
Speaker 1: thirteenth in Football Outsiders in terms of efficiency. They've had

1227
01:01:38,600 --> 01:01:40,560
Speaker 1: a lot of things go their way in terms of

1228
01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:43,400
Speaker 1: turnovers or tonight it with special teams and they made

1229
01:01:43,480 --> 01:01:45,640
Speaker 1: their breaks there. But there's a lot of games where

1230
01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:47,600
Speaker 1: you watched it and the two teams didn't seem that

1231
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:50,640
Speaker 1: uneven when you look at yards or yards for play

1232
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:53,000
Speaker 1: and then you look at the scoreboard and it's a blowout,

1233
01:01:53,040 --> 01:01:55,800
Speaker 1: And sometimes I think that's coaching. I mean, Hugh Jackson

1234
01:01:55,880 --> 01:01:58,520
Speaker 1: and the Browns have outgained their opponents in five of

1235
01:01:58,640 --> 01:02:00,640
Speaker 1: nine games this year, and they have even won a game.

1236
01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:03,040
Speaker 1: I couldn't be any happier with you know what, I've

1237
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:07,240
Speaker 1: experienced another bad game on Sunday Night, Al Chris and

1238
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:10,960
Speaker 1: Michelle the best on TV perhaps, but the worst luck

1239
01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:14,440
Speaker 1: this season. And how bad was this game? In the

1240
01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:17,240
Speaker 1: second half? As this thing just evolved into a laugher,

1241
01:02:17,880 --> 01:02:21,600
Speaker 1: we just started going around the room, uh, West Gregg

1242
01:02:21,600 --> 01:02:24,800
Speaker 1: and myself guessing which foods Mark still eats now that

1243
01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:28,120
Speaker 1: he's basically a vegan. And that was the most entertaining

1244
01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:32,080
Speaker 1: aspect today. Well, because you because you only root for

1245
01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:35,360
Speaker 1: two teams. We you said this, you volunteered this downstairs.

1246
01:02:35,480 --> 01:02:38,040
Speaker 1: You only have two teams that you have rootine interests

1247
01:02:38,080 --> 01:02:40,880
Speaker 1: for the Jets and whoever plays the Patriots. You just

1248
01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:44,640
Speaker 1: didn't like this result. If it was everyone else in

1249
01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:47,680
Speaker 1: this room thrilled by the I think that here's the thing,

1250
01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:49,120
Speaker 1: and this is this is where it gets to me

1251
01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:51,360
Speaker 1: a little bit, is that we were saying this is

1252
01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:53,920
Speaker 1: how this game was gonna go all week long, and

1253
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:57,200
Speaker 1: then it's all this like false hoop law about how

1254
01:02:57,320 --> 01:02:59,080
Speaker 1: it's going to be a great game and stuff, and

1255
01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:04,120
Speaker 1: in the end it's a wrong this podcast. You have

1256
01:03:04,240 --> 01:03:06,200
Speaker 1: to just accept that in a bad a f C,

1257
01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:08,480
Speaker 1: this team is gonna say it is a stunner. If

1258
01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:10,480
Speaker 1: they don't make the Super Bowl, it is a stunner.

1259
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:12,800
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear any other straw men in

1260
01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:16,720
Speaker 1: farm fields. Why is it ridiculous fields? Why is it

1261
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:19,960
Speaker 1: ridiculous to say the Patriots up our bags? As we

1262
01:03:20,040 --> 01:03:23,320
Speaker 1: finished this podcast, remember when this that you're just mad

1263
01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:25,560
Speaker 1: that they're winning, because not mad, I just want to

1264
01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:28,920
Speaker 1: acknowledge that. Let's acknowledge that they're the clear favorites that

1265
01:03:29,040 --> 01:03:32,640
Speaker 1: would be at five straight games, they've they've now not

1266
01:03:32,800 --> 01:03:35,240
Speaker 1: allowed more than seventeen points. Remember when the defense was

1267
01:03:35,320 --> 01:03:39,080
Speaker 1: the big what a narrative that was. Oh, the Patriots don't.

1268
01:03:39,160 --> 01:03:41,160
Speaker 1: Oh they're a mess this year. They might not even

1269
01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:43,600
Speaker 1: make the play. Of course, to the clear favorites. What

1270
01:03:43,680 --> 01:03:46,800
Speaker 1: are you even doing over there? Alright? I guess I

1271
01:03:46,960 --> 01:03:49,360
Speaker 1: was saying favorites versus the field. I'd take the field

1272
01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:51,280
Speaker 1: in the a f C. Yeah, I would take the field.

1273
01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:54,760
Speaker 1: Come on, the field was burnt down about four weeks ago.

1274
01:03:56,640 --> 01:04:00,160
Speaker 1: There's nothing growing in the field where the straw man

1275
01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:03,040
Speaker 1: that you're the Patriots up in their castle looking down

1276
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:05,760
Speaker 1: on this field that was scorched by invaders. Well, if

1277
01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:08,280
Speaker 1: you wanted to go at another you know narrative that's

1278
01:04:08,360 --> 01:04:11,200
Speaker 1: died is their tackle an offensive line play was terrible

1279
01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:15,240
Speaker 1: mablem And now like Adrian Waddle comes in there and

1280
01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:17,440
Speaker 1: Nate Soldier and their Stone and Von Miller. They had

1281
01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:21,480
Speaker 1: a nice night. Ah, there you go. So the Patriots

1282
01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:24,600
Speaker 1: cruising to another Super Bowl. Will be back on Tuesday

1283
01:04:25,720 --> 01:04:29,160
Speaker 1: when we will recap the Monday night match up between

1284
01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:34,120
Speaker 1: Mark Uh the Dolphins and the Carolina Panthers. But I

1285
01:04:34,160 --> 01:04:36,000
Speaker 1: had you there for a second. You did for a second,

1286
01:04:36,080 --> 01:04:38,360
Speaker 1: and uh and we'll have some fun on Tuesday with

1287
01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:41,560
Speaker 1: Connie Fox and another week of action. So thank you

1288
01:04:41,600 --> 01:04:45,360
Speaker 1: to everyone. Uh, Connie Fox, who refused to fork the

1289
01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:47,760
Speaker 1: Broncos and I and I want to say it before

1290
01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:49,720
Speaker 1: we go. I want to say before we go because

1291
01:04:49,720 --> 01:04:52,800
Speaker 1: it's stuck in my head. One of our loyal listeners

1292
01:04:52,840 --> 01:04:56,600
Speaker 1: of forty Niners fans, after I tweeted something derisive about

1293
01:04:56,640 --> 01:04:59,200
Speaker 1: the Giants at the end of that game, said please,

1294
01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:01,440
Speaker 1: I know you're gonna spend your three or four minutes

1295
01:05:01,560 --> 01:05:03,600
Speaker 1: killing the Giants in this game, but will you please

1296
01:05:04,040 --> 01:05:07,480
Speaker 1: say something nice about our team in this game? This

1297
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:09,560
Speaker 1: is all we have. And I've been there. I was

1298
01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:11,640
Speaker 1: there as a Patriots fan on a one in fifteen

1299
01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:13,600
Speaker 1: season or on a bad season, and you really do

1300
01:05:13,800 --> 01:05:16,760
Speaker 1: enjoy those winning days. So you know, let's give up

1301
01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:21,800
Speaker 1: some kudos. I'm gonna say. C J. Beth played, He's

1302
01:05:21,800 --> 01:05:25,600
Speaker 1: shop quarterback, Jimmy Garoppolo. He showed a lot of toughness.

1303
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:28,240
Speaker 1: I think you saw some of the great coaching that

1304
01:05:28,280 --> 01:05:31,480
Speaker 1: you'll see in the future in Kyle Shanahan. C J. Bethard,

1305
01:05:31,480 --> 01:05:33,040
Speaker 1: I think showed a lot of toughness the last few

1306
01:05:33,080 --> 01:05:35,880
Speaker 1: weeks and hits and he shows up and he got

1307
01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:39,640
Speaker 1: rewarded for it today. And Marky's goodwin on what was

1308
01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:43,000
Speaker 1: a tragic day for him. He lost his son at

1309
01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:46,040
Speaker 1: four in the morning during childbirth, and he scores an

1310
01:05:46,080 --> 01:05:49,240
Speaker 1: eighty three yard touchdown and his teammates mobbed him and

1311
01:05:49,320 --> 01:05:51,720
Speaker 1: it was a special moment there, like you're that that

1312
01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:55,080
Speaker 1: was a pretty special moment for the Forts and let

1313
01:05:55,160 --> 01:05:57,919
Speaker 1: them have their day. Good job, Greg, very well done.

1314
01:05:58,040 --> 01:06:03,440
Speaker 1: As always you're a total row um. All right, So
