1
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: Here's McCaffrey full head of stain, McCaffrey being able to

2
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: get it in Rocklisberger pulls it back, Rolls has to too.

3
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: Smith Shoes Star brought a start to tonight one playing

4
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: pack touchdown Steelers. Newton keeps season trouble and thrawls up

5
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: for grabs and packs intercepted by Williams. Touchdown. Then it's

6
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: a seven point Steeler lead as they put up two

7
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:34,480
Speaker 1: touchdowns in thirteen seconds. This one down the sideline for Brown.

8
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: He's got it. He's got another touchdown Steelers. Oh my goodness,

9
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers going nuts. Dan hands his hair along

10
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: with Mark Sessler. The rest of the boys are gonna

11
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 1: join us in just a few minutes to break down

12
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: the rest of Week ten the previews. But now we

13
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: have to recap a fifty two to twenty one win

14
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: for the Steelers over a completely overmatched and seemingly unprepared

15
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 1: Panthers team that didn't know what hit him, couldn't get

16
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: a stop. Ben Roethlisberger simply put one of the greatest

17
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: games of his career twenty two yards, five touchdowns, no interceptions,

18
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: a perfect pass rating rating of one point three before

19
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:27,119
Speaker 1: he gave way to Joshua dobbs Uh to finish things out. Mark,

20
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: what did you learn in this game? I think what

21
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 1: I learned was that Pittsburgh has been hearing everyone talk

22
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: about the Chiefs and the Patriots and the Chargers. At

23
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: this point in Pittsburgh is the team people want to

24
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: push out of the picture because maybe there's a little

25
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: bit of Steelers exhaustion after so many years of getting

26
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: far into the playoffs situation and then getting bumped by

27
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: New England. A very predictable narrative they say tonight. They

28
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: basically said, look, you want to come in on Thursday

29
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: night into Pittsburgh with we hear all about your Carolina

30
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: Panthers situation, We're gonna take you out. I mean this

31
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: the Panthers defense is not what it was of years past.

32
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: But this was an utter domination and the way Pittsburgh

33
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: took control of the game so quickly, so early out

34
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: of the gate, and a pristine performance by Big Bend.

35
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: There was no point when they got down seven Carolina

36
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: that I thought there's they're going to climb back into this.

37
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 1: It just you could tell the protection Cam Newton got

38
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: crushed tonight. There was no moment where you thought they're

39
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: going to climb back into this game. Yeah. The the

40
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: crazy thing about it was that Carolina took the opening

41
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: kickoff and went right down the field and went up

42
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: seven nothing. Uh And by midway through the fourth quarter

43
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: it was fifty two to fourteen, and there was a

44
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: late touchdown just to uh put the final touches on

45
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,959
Speaker 1: the score. But you know, the last week I I

46
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: I said that I thought the Panthers were right there

47
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: in the same class of the top NFC heavyweights. And

48
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: I do still believe that, but only in their building

49
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: because this was a reminder. We actually talked about it

50
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: on Wednesday's podcast. Uh. Gregg dismissed it, and I'll have

51
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: to have words with him when I see him. He must. Yes,

52
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: of the Panthers in prime time, Cam Newton in prime time,

53
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,959
Speaker 1: especially on the road, have never fared well. And this

54
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: was an epic stink bomb. And it makes you wonder

55
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: the true great teams travel well, and the Panthers this

56
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: is a game that's like, oh, these guys better have

57
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: home games in the playoffs if you want them to

58
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: go deep and losing badly like this, to fall to

59
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: six and three, this is not going to help their cause.

60
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: Masked in this game and lost in it is an

61
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: excellent performance by Christian McCaffrey, although I think he has

62
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: some past protection issues. Some of the saxon Kim Newton

63
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: are on him. I thought the killer turning point in

64
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: this was coming right out of halftime, up fourteen, the

65
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: Steelers take the ball and drive nearly seven plus minutes.

66
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: Absolutely used the clock up. I mean, that was one

67
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: of the quickest half of a half of a quarters

68
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: that we've seen. And they go up thirty eight to fourteen,

69
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: and they close it with a touchdown advance McDonald. They

70
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: pulled Big Ben in the fourth quarters. They should have.

71
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: We have no idea why Cam Newton was still in

72
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: this game as late as he was. What is the

73
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: pre everybody, I mean, they did take Big Ben out.

74
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: He was he was still in the game when they

75
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: were up by thirty points. Uh, and can play the

76
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: entire well he came out for the last drive. Uh.

77
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: And you just you just wonder what what anybody thinks

78
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: with those type of things. I mean, the stats are

79
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: staggering a big Big Ben Uh this I mean he

80
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:37,239
Speaker 1: averaged thirteen yards pert tempt That's that's otherworldly, and and

81
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: and you look at their stats as a team, it's

82
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: just a reminder. And this is all without Levy on Bell.

83
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: They had fifty eight total plays, and they had over

84
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: four d and fifty yards. They had ten drives. They

85
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: scored fifty two points, one out a pick six, as

86
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: you heard. But this was not even a special James

87
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 1: Conner game. This was just a total, complete dominant effort. Yeah,

88
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: if anything, Connor left and the CONCU protocol late in

89
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: the game. But it was Juju Smith Schuster, it was

90
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, it was Vance McDonald. It's They've got a

91
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: host of weapons, just like these other a f C

92
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: teams we talked about. And I'd be concerned if I'm

93
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: the Panthers, just by the fact that you're gonna have

94
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: to go on the road, if you're Carolina in this

95
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: in this playoff journey, there's no way we can talk

96
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: about them as a buy team. I simply don't buy it.

97
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: So do we trust the road? Uh? Fair enough? But listen,

98
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 1: Thursday night also, is there, Well, there's a weird soup

99
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: on Thursday Night where things like this happened. I wonder

100
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: if these two teams played a hundred times in a

101
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 1: row on Sunday afternoon. We would not see this result.

102
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: That's why you said you don't buy the Panthers after this,

103
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: I I'm shure, I'm I'm shook a little bit about

104
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: how they can perform on the road in a big spot.

105
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: But at the same time, these Thursday night games, you

106
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: don't know what to take out of them because and

107
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: we've seen the last four weeks when you look at

108
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: these outcomes which are just total bombs. Uh, some of

109
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: these teams are just simply not ready, uh to go

110
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: on the road and handle the crowd and the injuries

111
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 1: and the lack of practice and and what you're seeing

112
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 1: in some of these uh, these games. Just like look

113
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 1: at IF your Fox and if your NFL network. You

114
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 1: know the way the business works that you need to

115
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: get all these different teams some primetime love. So you

116
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: use Thursday night on some on some level as that

117
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: place to tuck in teams. But then you say to yourself,

118
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: all right, good, we got the Steelers and Panthers locked

119
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: in for week ten so people won't get too crazy. Well,

120
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: look what happens. Some teams aren't ready for these games,

121
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: and you have a thirty one point loss. Oh, it's

122
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 1: just it's rough. These Thurs Night games are tough to

123
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 1: watch sometimes. I I am not ready for the the

124
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: Tied ad campaign on Fox either, which features a lot

125
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: of piteous acting. I was not ready for Mark Wahlberg,

126
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: a Patriots fan, to be featured at halftime in Pittsburgh.

127
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: That felt like a little bit of a I'm still

128
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: waiting what's going on with that? Still trying to process

129
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: Jonah Hill plugging a skateboard movie a couple of weeks ago.

130
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: Jonah Hill, who has never watched a football game in

131
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 1: his life, wait to nail your demo, but suspicious at

132
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: the point. All right, there you go. Pittsburgh Steelers drop

133
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: a fifty burger on the Panthers. Not the last you're

134
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: gonna hear from either of these teams, but this is

135
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: a dark, dark night for the Panthers, who will quickly

136
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: look to turn the page. Anyway, we got a lot

137
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: more to get to and WEEKEDND, so let's get to

Speaker 1: storm UM recap the Panthers at Steelers. But there are

157
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: many more games to get to. We have four teams

158
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: on by this week, the Ravens, Broncos, Texans and Vikings. Um.

159
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: But we have so many games to get to. Big week.

160
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: This is a big week on the NFL schedule, isn't it? Greg,

161
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: because the teams that are kind of keeping their head

162
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: above water, maybe they're a game under. You lose another

163
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: game and you really start to run out of time,

164
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: the clock starts working against you. I I do like

165
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: the NFL Season four that that every week has a

166
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: of your weight to it. So I think that would

167
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: be that's gonna be even more true next week in

168
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: the week after that. And like when some of those

169
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: losses start coming, like let's say the Packers lost for

170
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: some reason this week, it's like that then that that

171
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: loss just feels heavy. It's on your back with all

172
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,599
Speaker 1: the rest of the Green Bay losses they shouldn't have

173
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 1: had up till now. And it's also another like case

174
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: to extend the trade deadline out and maybe we'll do

175
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: this in a week or two. Uh re examine that

176
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,199
Speaker 1: and what kind of trades you would have made if

177
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: the if you pushed back the trade deadline, because right

178
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: now there's a lot of teams that are right in

179
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: the thick of things or think they are, but they're not.

180
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: It's always fun when there's some sellers involved. It just

181
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: juices up. But Goose is everything. November is attrition. Season

182
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: two injuries take away a contender or two or three

183
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: every November, because if you go on I R now

184
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: you're just about done for the year. No matter what,

185
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: You're not boomeranging back into as you brought up yesterday

186
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: with the Redskins West, one team that's been banged hard.

187
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: So let's get to the games, and let us start

188
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: with a big, big NFC North affair. In fact, we

189
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: were just talking about teams that need a wind to

190
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: kind of stay above water and not not put so

191
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 1: much pressure on them. Well, look at the lines, because

192
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: this is this is the down and dirty. They are

193
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: three and five, they've lost two straight, and it happens

194
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:19,959
Speaker 1: real quick. You're three and three and you're feeling okay,

195
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: you drop two games, and all of a sudden, whoa,

196
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: we cannot go three and six. And what do you

197
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,719
Speaker 1: gotta do? You gotta go on the road here, uh,

198
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: and you gotta go to play the Chicago Bears. So

199
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: Martin's thank you for the reminder. A big, a big

200
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: game for the Bears, because the Bears have a chance

201
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,959
Speaker 1: to stack some wins here. They got a big game

202
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 1: coming up next week mark against the Vikings. But if

203
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: you are worthy of the team of a t l

204
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: if you're worthy of being taken seriously beat the Lions

205
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: team that clearly is mediocre. Yeah, I mean the Lions

206
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: team I just don't trust of late. I thought that

207
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: they were handled by Seattle two weeks ago, and last

208
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: week against the Vikings, there were opportunities given to them

209
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: to stick around in that game, which they did nothing with.

210
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: They had two turnovers, one generated a field goal after

211
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: a bus to drive. The second was done on that

212
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: possession for Detroit when Matthew Stafford attempted to roll out,

213
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: run and pitch the ball to carry On Johnson. It

214
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: flees right by him and Daniel Hunter takes it in

215
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: for a Viking's touchdown, essentially game over. I mean, they

216
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: just are also a team that cannot protect their quarterback

217
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: right now. Thirteen sacks on Stafford over the past two weeks,

218
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: ten of those last week obviously a total killer. And

219
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: the one thing about the Bears, they haven't gone out

220
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: and unfurled big wins over giant opponents that would thrill us.

221
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: But they have stamped teams that are lesser than them,

222
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 1: and I don't feel I feel like the one thing

223
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: with their coaching staff, which is you never even know

224
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: with a new coaching staff, we're gonna get They're not

225
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: a letdown team. They didn't go into Buffalo and play

226
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: a bad game. They hammered Buffalo, and they've beaten up

227
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 1: on some of these teams that are lesser. So I

228
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: trust the Bears to take care of business at home

229
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,959
Speaker 1: against Detroit. I've been calling the Bears a playoff team.

230
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: There were one of the few teams to be leading

231
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 1: in the second half of everything ingle game this year.

232
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: Their three losses have come with a grand total of

233
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: eleven points against good teams. And I want to get

234
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: the lock out of the way this week because there

235
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: are no good locks. So I'm locking the Bears. That's

236
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: a great lock. I think I can barely look at

237
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: myself in the mirror for this one, just because the

238
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 1: way the lines are looking. They they aren't barely right.

239
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 1: The Lions aren't. They're not good. They're passing games, not

240
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: good enough to carry an entire team like they're They're

241
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 1: a team that's been overrated maybe by us, by by everyone.

242
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: If you look at their efficiency, they're down at d

243
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: v o A because they have basically an average offense.

244
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: You think of it as good, but it's basically average

245
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: the last two weeks. They they've been pretty poor after

246
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 1: Stafford had played great. And it's a bad defense, and

247
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: in the special teams is bad enough that they got

248
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: their coordinator fired. So it's a bad defense, bad special

249
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: teams in a very mediocre offense. Where we on Khalil Mack.

250
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: What is his status? He's miss the last two weeks,

251
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: practicing fully, as is Alan Robinson. They might have played

252
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: this right the game that time. They got two wins

253
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: while he was on the mat and if he could

254
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: come back and be himself. They kind of nailed the

255
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: timeline on that. And you've got the Lions, then the Vikings,

256
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: then the Lions again. This is a chance for Chicago

257
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 1: and we can see what Green Bay does still very

258
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: much alive in that division. This is a chance for

259
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 1: Chicago to put some of these teams away. They have

260
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 1: been really consistent. You mentioned that that they've had a

261
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: lead in the second half. Do you pretty much have

262
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 1: known what you're getting from the Bears every week? And

263
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: I think they want to build the offense a little

264
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: more Alan Robinson, get him back into the mix. Anthony Miller,

265
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: I have a question like how big of a role

266
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: is he going to have in the offense because he

267
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: seems to be a very valuable the place he makes

268
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: are very valuable, and I think he might have a

269
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: bigger roll down the stretch. Feels like every broadcasting crew

270
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: that does a Bears game comes away with the nugget

271
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 1: that the Bears coaching staff really loves Anthony Miller. M

272
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: uh and since west Locke did up. We are about

273
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: halfway through the season, so a reminder of where we're

274
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,079
Speaker 1: at in the lock standings because there's a trophy and

275
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: a pretty trophy on the line. Do we get a

276
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:14,439
Speaker 1: new trophy or what do we Yeah? Definitely, okay, okay,

277
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: I know where that's coming from. Is it gonna be

278
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: like a belt or what? Are you working on this

279
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: with behind the scenes and have a huge graphic team

280
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: and uh, you know three D printers and printers. Are

281
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: you kind of saying that you are annoyed that this

282
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: is a task that's been given to you? Is that

283
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: what I'm saying? I think just I think you guys

284
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: deserve the best read between the lines. She wants a

285
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: new trophy check in with stews would I'm struggling to

286
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: read it. I don't understand anyway. Here we are West

287
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: first place seven and two, but on a two game skid.

288
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: Here the old Zeuser is on a five game winning

289
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: streaks six and three, Mark five and four. Greg, you

290
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: got the w last week to stay alive. You're kind

291
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: of like the lines right now to win, I'm done.

292
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: You need to win. You haven't killed this segment yet.

293
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: I did that. I did that with I'm gonna have

294
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 1: to win it. Yeah, I won the picks a couple

295
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: of times in a row, and then I killed those

296
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: and that's my goal here. Did you kill the Fork

297
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: committee too? That just died naturally? Again? Definitely asking me

298
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: about the fork we forgot. I had a conversation about

299
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: that for I love the Fork. I think there's a

300
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: couple of segments include went, including one involving this year's Bears,

301
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: that we need to look strongly at before we just

302
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: automatically re engage. All right, let's move on. The Saints

303
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: are seven and one and they've won seventh straight and

304
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: they just beat the Rams. So what can you say

305
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: about the Saints other than they are a Super Bowl

306
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: favorite right now? Nice matchup here? They travel to face

307
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: the Bengals, who get um, they had a bye week

308
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: but that wasn't enough to get A J. Green healthy West,

309
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: So that's a major problem because when the Cincinnati offense

310
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: hasn't had a J. Green, uh they have struggled historically,

311
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: and he's on the shelf with a foot injury. They

312
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: have a chance to get Gio Bernard and John Rossbeck.

313
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: They're both practicing this week, so that would alleviate some

314
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: of A. J. Green's absence, But they don't have any

315
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: other future Hall of famers on this on this offense,

316
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: so that's a huge it's huge problem against an offense

317
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: like the Saints that has an advantage over every other

318
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: team in the league because they're playing with one more

319
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: down than everyone else. Sean Payton has just decided to

320
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: go for four downs, and why can you blame him?

321
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: When your quarterback completes his passes, you have a mismatched

322
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: nightmare at running back and your wide receiver is the

323
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: most reliable positive outcome in football, and you got Ben

324
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: Watson making plays for you. I mean, people are coming

325
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: out of the woodworks. That's why I think the Des

326
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: move makes sense because I can totally see Des just

327
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: making some places. He only needs to be the fifth

328
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: or six options. I think That is a huge advantage

329
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: to know that you're as soon as you get to

330
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: like your own forty yard line, you're going for it. Yep,

331
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: yep it you and they are so loaded right now. Yeah,

332
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: you throw in Dez and maybe he's got something to tech,

333
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: maybe he doesn't, but it's not a huge gamble either way.

334
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: Mark Gegram a guy that went over total yards last year.

335
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 1: He doesn't really have a defined role in this offense

336
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: because Kamara is that good and he's kind of their

337
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,959
Speaker 1: goal line guy too. He's just like a total player,

338
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 1: so they have depth in the backfield. It's the best

339
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: offensive line in football. Scary, I mean, of course you're

340
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: going for fourth thounds with that. This is the only

341
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 1: matchup of the week with two winning teams, and I

342
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 1: think a month ago we would have thought what a

343
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 1: great matchup. The Bengals just feel a little off the radar,

344
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: even though they're five and three coming off of by

345
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 1: because the two weeks that we last saw them they

346
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: were really handled by Pittsburgh. They were a little lucky

347
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: to get out of Tampa Bay. But I haven't given

348
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: up on the Well there, you've been killing them. I'm

349
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 1: just saying there there They're deed to come out of

350
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: the by looking different, and that's going to be hard

351
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: to do. They're not a like like you can say

352
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: so and so's a jag throw jack jack just a team.

353
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: They're just they're they're they're you're in obsolating this nice

354
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,919
Speaker 1: little five and three record. I know, yardage allowed doesn't

355
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 1: mean anything. They are, by that definition, the worst defense

356
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: in NFL. What they give up big explosive plays and

357
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: they're playing about the worst matchup in terms of an

358
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: offensive with Job getting after Drew Brees, getting pressure on

359
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,199
Speaker 1: him with blitz. Is you you wonder, I don't know.

360
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 1: It's a similar ish type of defense and in Cincinnati,

361
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 1: whether they come after him. This is another underrated attrition team.

362
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: They lost Carl Lawson for the season with a torn a,

363
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 1: c l Vonte's, Berfect, darks Denard Nick Vigil have all

364
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: been out. That's three starters out of their lineup. And

365
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: we don't talk about the Bengals that way, but they're playing.

366
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: You know, they're playing at less than full strength for

367
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: a while now. By the way, everyone talking up Drew

368
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 1: Brees as they should possible m V peek in it.

369
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: There's like a thing moving now. Uh popular consensus that

370
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 1: have we been underrating Drew Brees this whole time? Is

371
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: he better than Peyton Manning? Seen this popping up where

372
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: Breeze comes in historic and I think that's such recency bias,

373
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: Like they were in the same league at the time

374
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: for most of Breeze's career and at no point was

375
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: Drew Brees consistently better than pay Man. Stop him. He

376
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: is at nice age, nice like Manning. Manning faded out

377
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 1: at an earlier age. But it's just the matter of

378
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 1: that Manning is not in the league. Sure, and Drew

379
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: Brees great, it's just not that great. Can we block

380
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: people for these things? Isn't that what you've been doing

381
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 1: the entire Okay, don't bring that trash onto my timeline.

382
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 1: Let's move on. The Atlanta Falcons are four and four

383
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: back from the dead. It wasn't long ago, four weeks

384
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 1: in fact, that they were one and four three ws

385
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 1: their bye week in the mix there, and now they're

386
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: heading to Cleveland to face the Browns. The Browns haven't

387
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 1: won a game and over a month, uh so they

388
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: are obviously looking to get a w there. It would

389
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: be their first under Greg Williams, the interim coach. Greg

390
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: Here's Matt Ryan and Julio Jones. Julio got off the

391
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: snide and otherwise has been as productive as ever versus

392
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: a Brown's defense that's been up and down, mostly down lately.

393
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: I mean the the prairie lands of space that the

394
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: Chiefs had to run through after the catch. It's Greg Williams.

395
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: You get aggressive and then you get too aggressive, and

396
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan is so sharp right now, and all of

397
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 1: those guys are so good after the catch. They've built

398
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: a team where a lot of those yards that Matt

399
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 1: Ryan getting are just Tevin Coleman running after the catch

400
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 1: or Taylor Gabriel. I mean not Taylor Gabriel, Calvin Ridley

401
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: running after the catch. Certainly SNeW Julio. It's just a

402
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 1: team full of guys who can always make a play

403
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: on a third and eight where you throw at five

404
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: yards short of the sticks and they just make a

405
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 1: play for you. Watching them absolutely destroy Washington secondary an

406
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 1: entire defense last week, I I looked at this matchup

407
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: and thought Cleveland has done just for the reason you mentioned,

408
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: because what Kareem hunted last week is exactly what Tevin

409
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 1: Coleman can do to them again. They don't have Christian Kirksey.

410
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: They lost their down in the secondary. They've got injuries.

411
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: Jake Gaines is on ir They're starting to lose people.

412
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: I just and and they're going to I know that

413
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 1: Bruce Irvin did not play well down the stretch in

414
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 1: Oakland and had issues there. But they actually have a

415
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: line of the pass rushers that they plan to put

416
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: them all out to the time about using this like

417
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: New York Giants esque NASCAR package where the blow everyone

418
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 1: up and the Browns have one of the worst left

419
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: tackles right now in football. It's not a good formula.

420
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: So people love the NASCAR package. It's just like that's

421
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: a good brand for some reason. Like I don't get

422
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: the ref because I'm so out of the loop on Nascar,

423
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: But just what a bunch of guys racing towards the

424
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 1: racing towards the quarterback. And this team plays in the South. Okay,

425
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: I mean it works down there, it works down It's fine.

426
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: That's Los Angeles they call the Giants. I love seeing

427
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: all these offenses running. Greg Williams Peters, you wanna blitz,

428
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: you wanna bring pressure screen passes, end a rounds, reverses,

429
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: jet sweeps, keep bringing your pressure. Greg Williams well in

430
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: the in the Browns left tackle situation is so bad

431
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: that it's it's hamstringing Baker Mayfield's ability to operate, and

432
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: it's I don't know if it's ironic, but it's almost

433
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 1: like it's almost became too predictable. That was the that

434
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: was the storyline all offseason, Who's gonna replace Joe Thomas

435
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 1: And it's totally sinking their offense. One thing I want

436
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 1: to watch from Baker Mayfield. You don't have to throw

437
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: every pass as hard as you can. I'd like to

438
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 1: see a little more like sometimes he can. There was

439
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 1: a touch pass the Duke Johnson he threw that was

440
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 1: nice um, But a lot of times he just winding

441
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: up and throwing it through his receivers, And sure, sometimes

442
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: you need to do that, but not all the time.

443
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: I don't think his group of receivers are helping him

444
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,399
Speaker 1: a lot. In general. Totally agree, but I thought the

445
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks he's played some of his better football,

446
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 1: but it gets lost in all the disaster that's happening

447
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 1: on the defense. I think Baker may feel because I

448
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: like him a lot. Is because they have not been winning. Obviously,

449
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: they've lost five of six. I think he's due to

450
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 1: have like a big Baker Mayfield game where it's like,

451
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: reminds everybody again, this guy is the guy, and I

452
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: could see it happening at home against the Falcons. But

453
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: at the same time, I'm just too in on the

454
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 1: Falcons right now and they're playing well, and Mark, this

455
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,199
Speaker 1: isn't personal, but I'm gonna lock up the Falcons the

456
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 1: dirty Birds. I did not take a person. The dirty

457
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 1: Birds are gonna dance. Let's see a shoot out here.

458
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,439
Speaker 1: I almost went down the for the fourth time locking

459
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: up the Browns, but I entired of doing things that

460
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: are just basically stupid. Right they playing and they're playing

461
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: a team that's just better than that people for four

462
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 1: and four last year. And I give the Browns fans

463
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 1: that really stuck out to me last week so much credit. Like,

464
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,679
Speaker 1: I can't believe how loud the Browns crowd was for

465
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 1: that Chiefs game, even when they're down in the first

466
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: in the second quarter, I'm just I was just like imagining,

467
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: imagine if the Patriots were as bad as the Browns

468
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,919
Speaker 1: were for half as long as the Browns were and

469
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: it's a week nine game and your two and six,

470
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: even with Baker in number one overall graft picks like

471
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: that place would be silent. People would be miserable and depressed.

472
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: And the Browns fans like it seems like they're in

473
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 1: the playoff race. Though it's what's wrong with these people? Delusion?

474
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 1: I'm trying to give them credit, but it's also almost

475
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: like crazy. I think it's it's Baker Mayfield because in

476
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: past years it would have been like Brandon Weeden or

477
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,679
Speaker 1: some other total jabroni out there, and you do not

478
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: go that game. The Jacksonville Jaguars coming off there by. Hopefully,

479
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: if you're a Jacks Van or Tom Coughlin or Doug Moron,

480
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: you think, oh, this gave us a chance to clear

481
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,919
Speaker 1: our heads, because they are in a free fall at

482
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: four straight losses, five out of six. They're three and five,

483
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: just like the lines. Three and five is a very

484
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 1: dangerous place to be because you almost need that w

485
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: or you are effectively buried. And now they got to

486
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 1: go to India to face the Colts team also coming

487
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 1: off thereby, but playing very well right now, Mark, especially

488
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 1: on offense, so you got a resurge and Andrew Luck

489
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 1: against the Jags defense that has not been answering the

490
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 1: call this year. Yeah, it's usually I feel like it's

491
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 1: the Bengals that usually um win this award with me

492
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: early in the season, like right around now, But it

493
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 1: is the Jaguars who I need out of my life.

494
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: And I find myself openly rooting for the Cults, not

495
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 1: just this week, but in general. They're fun to watch

496
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: after all the shenanigans of having to write about Andrew

497
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 1: lux shoulder and injuries and what will happen in the

498
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: way they had to deal with that from a pr

499
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: angle last you're it's just a better league. One of

500
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 1: the big reasons this season is better is because we

501
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: have Andrew Luck back in our life doing Andrew Luck things.

502
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: And I really love the way that they've been able

503
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: to run the ball the last couple of weeks after

504
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,360
Speaker 1: being so imbalanced for so long. And I finally think

505
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 1: with the Cults that they backed into and it's funny

506
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 1: how these things work out. In Frank Reich, the best

507
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: coach in this division and someone that will absolutely maximize

508
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: look at like what they're doing with guys. We've never

509
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,360
Speaker 1: heard of before. And I would like to see them

510
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: drop a hammer on the Jaguars at home, and they're

511
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 1: gonna and I'm gonna lock it up. I like it

512
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:37,880
Speaker 1: it is. That's funny. You bring that up too hard

513
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 1: because Reich, everyone right now is on the Reich train

514
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 1: and and thinks he's a great pick. I know you

515
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: said uh, and you kind of came around on it

516
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,360
Speaker 1: a little bit, but you had said that you were

517
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: okay with Hugh staying in the roles head coach because

518
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: nobody would have coached the Browns. But like, you never

519
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: know if there's a Frank right guy that's ready to

520
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: step into the job, and it has just been waiting

521
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: for the opportunity. And that's how the lucked out more

522
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: the cults get lucky. Let's be honest with you. You You

523
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: look into Peyton Manning, you look into Andrew luck and

524
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,479
Speaker 1: now you might have to a franchise and they had

525
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 1: to leave in the middle of the night to a

526
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: franchise at eight four. And now you might have a

527
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: head coach that you compare with your second franchise quarterback

528
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:22,959
Speaker 1: in in twenty years. In Frank Reich, you mentioned shoulder

529
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: shenaniganst the Shananigans are coming from the other team this year.

530
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,160
Speaker 1: I mean that things are going on in this locker room.

531
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: And then this week reporters asked A. J. Boullier some

532
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: questions and he says, I don't have to answer them

533
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 1: because I'm not playing this week. He's he missed the

534
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 1: last game with an injury, and Doug Maron said, that's

535
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 1: news to me. You guys are breaking news to me.

536
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 1: That's not what the trainers are telling me. This was

537
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 1: a team that was talking a lot, feeling themselves, and

538
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 1: when that starts going poorly, it's interesting to see how

539
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: how they were spinning. I'm surprised, Dan, because this is

540
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: usually on your radar that you didn't recognize what kind

541
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 1: of game this is. Oh, this is a wounded Doug

542
00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 1: him too, maybe, but I games bye bye. You're out

543
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 1: of the ANC South Sorry, yeah, out of the wild

544
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 1: card too. I got a feeling though, even if the

545
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: Cults lose, West is gonna be pound on the table,

546
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: but they could still make a run. So I don't

547
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:15,439
Speaker 1: want to see. When you were talking, I doe you

548
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 1: think I've won seven or they're the team of West

549
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: well Mark When Mark was saying how he enjoys watching

550
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,919
Speaker 1: that if we had done like the first year we

551
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: did the team around the NFL, we just kind of

552
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 1: happened during the season. I think if we had naturally

553
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 1: just waited, the Cults seem like the closest thing we

554
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: have to an agreement. I think, at least I don't

555
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: know if Dan cares about the culture now. Yeah, they're

556
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:41,880
Speaker 1: in my top like the Jets. Yeah, so you're never

557
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: gonna get right. I'm saying we were kind of on

558
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 1: the same right because I think for the two of us, well,

559
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: Greg also has a favorite team I forget about sometimes,

560
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:50,640
Speaker 1: but three of us favorites. Three of us like like

561
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: one team like the Cults. I still enjoy watching on

562
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,360
Speaker 1: game pass that just don't and Bes Bears are fine too.

563
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: Two quick things we haven't mentioned. Leonard for Nett is

564
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: expected to be back in this game, and it's funny.

565
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's a big well Carlos I did

566
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: last when we last saw the Jaguars. They could be

567
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,879
Speaker 1: both a big deal and who cares? Because what has

568
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 1: he done really right? The Cults. It's amazing that with

569
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,919
Speaker 1: Nahim Heinz and uh and Mac that the Colts have

570
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: the tougher, you know, better running game, and then on

571
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 1: there's five yards defensive Rookie of the month and Quentin Nelson.

572
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: You never see that happen for a guard and I

573
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: know was the Raiders and they the Raiders are absolute junk,

574
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: just coming out of a hundred miles an hour. But

575
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,880
Speaker 1: the Cults in that game when they hammered Oakland put

576
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 1: together these eleven and thirteen played drives. They're just able

577
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: to do so much. Right now, I know it's this

578
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: isn't fantasy football, but what at the Jaguars pick up

579
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: Sam Bradford. Why not? This is Blake got a bone

580
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 1: on bone condition and apparently had not been even practicing.

581
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 1: I didn't know he was not healthy. We've been going

582
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: through a lot of Blake Bordles and Jackson like this

583
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: has been a five year topic on this, but this

584
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: really is coming off the by like his stretch run.

585
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: He needs to go on a run or not. This

586
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 1: feels like the end. And you know, you never know

587
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 1: that if they could get to ten wins, I bet

588
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: they'd bring him back again. No, nor his contract is

589
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: hard to cut. I mean you have to bring someone

590
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: else in that you'd be very comfortable starting over him.

591
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: That's always be a major shift in philosophy for them. Right.

592
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: The best running gag, at least for a sports fan

593
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: on the good Place the NBC comedy is Blake Bortles.

594
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: Blake Bortles references if he ever loses his job or

595
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: gets shipped out of Jacksonville, that would make that show

596
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: much less. So I'm a little bit conflicted. It would

597
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 1: take away from the show. I think it's if you're

598
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 1: going to if you're gonna attach your comedy vehicle to

599
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: a player on a team, a struggling player on a team,

600
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: that might move him at some point. A bit risky, Yes,

601
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 1: his his crappiness is basically the joke. But well that

602
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: may be risky. Yeah. Quick second, for an ad read,

603
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: finding a dress shirt that fits is nearly impossible. Something

604
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: is always off, be it the caller or the sleeves. Thankfully,

605
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: ordering a custom fit shirt has never been easier with

606
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: proper Cloth. At proper cloth dot com, you can easily

607

608
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: simple questions. Choose from over twenty collar styles, ten cuff styles,

609
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: and five hundred fabric styles from classic to business to casual,

610
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: even customize your shirt and get the style that you want.

611

00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: a bye, they got that comeback win, they're coming off

624
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: a nine week by Well see you say that, but

625
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: then you forget what happened in the fourth quarter against

626
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: the Niners when when Josh Rosen under Byron Leftwich, the

627
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: genius offensive coordinator of the team. Uh, they put up

628
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: two touchdowns a two point conversion, They win eighteen fifty

629
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, there's a sliver of optimism

630
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 1: in the desert this year. Well, here's the reward. They

631
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: go to Kansas City barrow ahead to face the Chiefs,

632
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: who are rolling. Uh, here is a rundown of their

633
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 1: points scored so far the season. Thirty thirty, thirty and

634
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 1: thirty seven. My goodness, West, this could get ugly. Oh yeah.

635
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: They They also stumbled on a new weapon last week.

636
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 1: They just decided, out of nowhere, we're gonna start to

637
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 1: showcase Spencer wear again. And they had plays designed specifically

638
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: to get the ball in Spencer wears hands in space,

639
00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: five or six plays like that, and I think he

640
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 1: had about ninety yards in the game. So just when

641
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 1: you thought they only have like five pick your poisons

642
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 1: on this team, now it's another one. It's like an

643
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 1: all star team. And they haven't slowed down. You know.

644
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: That's the most impressive thing about them is they've stayed

645
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: at this exact high level the whole time. And so

646
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: now that we're halfway through the season, now you have

647
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: to start thinking, well, they have a chance to go

648
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: down as one of the defining offenses ever to be

649
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: with the Rams. Oh seven Patriots, I put eighteen Saints. Yeah,

650
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 1: I even put some of those like Broncos teams with Manning,

651
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 1: but certainly I would put the Chiefs even at another

652
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: level than the two thousand. I just had a vision

653
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: like it. Clearly. It just came into my mind of

654
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: us being a media night, which you know, I hate

655
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 1: to tell you guys that's coming. But Andy Reid is

656
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: at the podium and he's the story of Super Bowl Week.

657
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: Andy Reid finally getting over the hump. He should be

658
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 1: the story. It would be a great and it's gonna happen.

659
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 1: I want the Patriots to be there. But to your point,

660
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: Football Outsiders right now has them as a third and

661
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: I know it's just the number thirty chance to win

662
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, which is really high. The Rams are

663
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: at twenty. No one else is even above ten. So

664
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 1: they have the Chiefs as the prohibitive best team in

665
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 1: the league and the prohibitive best chances because the a

666
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: f C is a little weaker. The only thing that

667
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: would be a down to that Super Bowl scenario, Dan,

668
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 1: is that we would not have the chance of seeing

669
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: essentially like a Pro Bowl team with nine to ten

670
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: Chiefs on it beating up an NFC team of all stars,

671
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 1: which I guess you could live without. I just would

672
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 1: like to see that, Like if you you do a

673
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 1: pro you can get a Pro Bowl team. There's me

674
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 1: so many Kansas City Chiefs in the Pro Bowl if

675
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: they didn't make the Super Bowl, that you could essentially

676
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: have like the Chief's offense verse a bunch of NFC stars.

677
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 1: But the Super Bowl probably is what the Chiefs fans

678
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: would still a little more. I'm just gonna Pro Bowl.

679
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 1: The way the Pro Bowl works is made up of

680
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: star players. And so if you had the entire Chiefs

681
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: roster on on the a f C side on offense

682
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 1: playing in NFC defense, did that click? That's why that

683
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: you could put. I know what you're saying at the beginning,

684
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: and you're saying what I'm essentially you're saying, the Chiefs

685
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,240
Speaker 1: will be in the super Bowl, so all those players

686
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: are ineligible for the Pro Bowl. And then the end

687
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 1: though there's something about that they would be that they

688
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 1: would be playing, there would be so many cheas the

689
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: a f C Pro Bowl team would have, Like they

690
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 1: don't go to the Super Bowl, right, would have like

691
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 1: ten or eleven Chiefs on the field at once, destroying

692
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: an NFC team of all I want to see that.

693
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 1: That's my favorite part of the show. Let's move on.

694
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 1: It's the worst game of the week. It's the Buffalo

695
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 1: Bills two and seven, uh, losers of four straight. Since

696
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 1: I just said that the score totals of the best

697
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: offense in football? How about the worst three twenty? How

698
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:12,240
Speaker 1: that happened? Zero five, six nine. And now they travel

699
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: to the Meadowlands to face the Jets, a team that

700
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 1: hasn't been too hot itself on offense, not quite at

701
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 1: Bills levels of an aptitude, but not good at all.

702
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: And it's a Jets team that will turn to Josh

703
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 1: McCown there, thirty nine year old backup because Sam Donald's

704
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: gonna miss time with a sprained foot. So here we go, Greg,

705
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 1: sell it, Sell it, baby, now you work. Not even

706
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 1: the worst game of the week because no one has

707
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,800
Speaker 1: to watch this one except for you and Bills fans.

708
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:44,439
Speaker 1: Monday Night Football has Giants, not even Jets fans watch.

709
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 1: It will just be a million Bills fans you. I

710
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 1: found it interesting that there's a chance Sam Donald might

711
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 1: be the backup to this game, which definitely lends some

712
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 1: credence to the thought that maybe they're just giving them

713
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 1: a little with that on Twitter right now. I mean,

714
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 1: and it's I don't think I don't think it's a

715
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 1: huge story to me either way. If he's a little

716
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: banged up and they want to give him a break mentally,

717
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 1: that makes a lot of sense to me, and that's fine.

718
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 1: But then you're saying that they they they got him

719
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 1: and everyone else to play along with putting a walking

720
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,879
Speaker 1: boot on his foot like that. He's obviously injured. He's

721
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: obviously injured, and why pushed through it? But if if

722
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 1: you're active, if you're good enough to be active for

723
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: the game, most starting quarterback backs, you know, if it's

724
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: three not three and they're in the heat of the races,

725
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:33,760
Speaker 1: Sam Donald playing, we have no idea. They really missed

726
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 1: Billy Powell, which is sort of a sad statement on

727
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 1: their offensive general, but they really missed. But I think

728
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 1: there is one fascinating subplot to this game, and is

729
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:44,839
Speaker 1: is the Jets center going to for the second game

730
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:48,919
Speaker 1: a row beyond psilocybin when kickoff hits? What was going

731
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:54,919
Speaker 1: on with that guy last week? The Jets center? I mean,

732
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: I mean, how many tabs of LSD went into his

733
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 1: body before I feel bad because I've she heard him

734
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: in interviews and he seems like a super nice say

735
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 1: and was like really, like, I know my responsibility for

736
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 1: this team, and I no one wants to do this

737
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 1: more than me. But he has this finger issue and

738
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,720
Speaker 1: it's also a mental issue, and Todd Bowls or whatever

739
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 1: is in the backup must be so bad Jonathan Harrison

740
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:21,879
Speaker 1: that he doesn't he doesn't want to turn it over.

741
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 1: I mean, it just it tells you a lot about

742
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 1: the depth of the Jets and how bad the roster is.

743
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:28,839
Speaker 1: Uh that they have these type of problems because if

744
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 1: you watched that game last week, Donald, some of those mistakes.

745
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 1: Not to take heat off Donald, he got thrown out

746
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 1: of whack immediately because he's jumping to catch a snap

747
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 1: and reaching down at his shins to catch a snap

748
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: and until it messed up his flow. But anyway, I've

749
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 1: embraced the challenge of coming up with a few positive

750
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 1: takeaways for the Jets every week because they have about

751
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 1: the bills they have reclaimed they're rightful place as my

752
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 1: least favorite team to watch, which has been going on

753
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 1: for like six years now. Um imagine how I feel.

754
00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:01,839
Speaker 1: Buddy Quincy and Noona and Mal adams effort level was

755
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 1: astonishing last week and Noon while out there plane injured,

756
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: diving for balls, laying out carrying tackle. Jamal Adams is

757
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 1: like twenty three years old, and you can already tell

758
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 1: he's gonna be the leader on that defense for the

759
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 1: next decade because he cares so damn much and he

760
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:18,879
Speaker 1: lays it all on the line. I love watching those

761
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 1: two guys play. I mean, noon one would be a

762
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 1: guy that would if he was surrounded by like a

763
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 1: championship team, you know, he would like go down in

764
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:28,439
Speaker 1: a ring of honor as like the glue guy who

765
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: made the difference, but instead they rounded And maybe he

766
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: will anyway, four years, five years about get the credit? Yeah,

767
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 1: and he'll get the credit. He Let's move on the Redskins.

768
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 1: They are in first place in the NFC East, but

769
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,800
Speaker 1: as West has pointed out, injuries they've been devastated, especially

770
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 1: along their offensive line, which is a major leage problematic

771
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 1: because Adrian Peterson has been the lifeblood of their offense

772
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 1: and now they have a bunch of you know, Hammon

773
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: aggers in the place of the starters in the interior

774
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,839
Speaker 1: your line. Uh, and now they travel to Tampa Bay

775
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: Uh to face a Bucks team that is three and five,

776
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 1: but they do have that fits magic cooking Mark Sessler,

777
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: what do you think? Yeah, I want to see how

778
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:16,359
Speaker 1: the Redskins will respond to I mean last week's sort

779
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: of ultra apocalypse in terms of injuries, but also just

780
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 1: the way that that defense totally was man handled by

781
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 1: the Falcons. Because yes, you just said it. With the Bucks,

782
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 1: they're messy, but they've scored twenty six or more points

783
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 1: in all but one game this year. They are powerful

784
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 1: on offense, and they're facing and I don't know how

785
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 1: the Redskins can keep up basically, and the Redskins, to me,

786
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 1: with the one thing that's tough is hard their passing game.

787
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:43,799
Speaker 1: And the one thing from our research notes that I

788
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 1: thought it put this out there in a good example

789
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:49,800
Speaker 1: was that Ryan Fitzpatrick leads the NFL with nine points

790
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 1: seven yards pert tempt and you see that the way

791
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 1: that they play, how daring he is. He'll take shots

792
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 1: down field. That doesn't always work out, but it often does.

793
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: Alex Smith at six point seven yards pretend the fifth

794
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 1: lowest league wide, and when you watch the Redskins offense,

795
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 1: you can see that too, and I just wonder if

796
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 1: the Bucks at home, this is gonna be a hideous

797
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 1: uniform matchup. Let's not get that it is going to

798
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 1: be hard on the eyes. But if they get out

799
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 1: and they get kind of on fire, because the Bucks

800
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 1: at this point of just go for it, why not

801
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 1: this could be a rough one for the Redskins. I

802
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:24,840
Speaker 1: had a listener, a reader suggest that if you're in

803
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 1: field goal position in this game and you're the Bux,

804
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 1: just like kick a field goal on first or second

805
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:32,280
Speaker 1: down and take the lead. Because there's been no lead

806
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:36,440
Speaker 1: changes in any Redskins game all season. To me, is

807
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 1: the craziest stat in the NFL. And you know what,

808
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: our research team looked it up. This is a tough

809
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 1: one to do. They are the fourth team since nineteen

810
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 1: seventy not to have zero lead changes through eight games.

811
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:51,839
Speaker 1: No one's ever made it through ten weeks. So now

812
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 1: I've got, if nothing else, I'm rooting for that for

813
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 1: the next two weeks. It's insane that that they haven't

814
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 1: come from behind or given up anything. Does it have

815
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:03,399
Speaker 1: the teams and their records, I would I would think

816
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 1: what makes us even crazier is that maybe if you're

817
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 1: a really really bad team. You got beat and he

818
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,360
Speaker 1: fell behind every single game, and maybe you want a

819
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 1: game or two where you jumped out ahead. But the

820
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:17,360
Speaker 1: Redskins are five and three game team that's kind of

821
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 1: hangs every week. They're close to their competition where they

822
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 1: bad teams. Well, they've they have one games very easily

823
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:25,800
Speaker 1: and they've like they in lost games in a blood.

824
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:27,359
Speaker 1: That's the thing, is like they're a five and three

825
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,319
Speaker 1: team who has three really bad losses where they were

826
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 1: more or less. Man the other teams, though, were they bad.

827
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure that. I thought they had it well.

828
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 1: The Redskins did pick the right opponent. I mean, if

829
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 1: you're gonna be an injured, decimated mess, at least go

830
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:46,759
Speaker 1: up against an attrocian defense that can't tackle. And the

831
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 1: Bucks tackling performance last week was just, I mean a bomb.

832
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,880
Speaker 1: It's why I think they're GM is all. Jason light

833
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:55,879
Speaker 1: is probably gonna get swept out if they don't rally too,

834
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 1: because man, they spent a lot of money the last

835
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 1: two offseasons. Vinny Curry has kind of been a bus

836
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:03,919
Speaker 1: for them. They took Vita Vea over Derwin James when

837
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 1: they had a crying need at safety and like just

838
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 1: the money they've spent on defense and turned them into

839
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 1: one of the worst defensive If you sleep at cutter Light,

840
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 1: you almost got to sleep at Winston too, right, and

841
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 1: just do a fresh well, don't. I mean in theory,

842
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 1: the next coach maybe might want him, but you never

843
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to lose Todd Monkin. I mean that

844
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 1: happens though, when you sweep everyone out, he might go.

845
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 1: He might want to get out of there. But I mean, GMS,

846
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,360
Speaker 1: how many times to GM's have a chance to hire

847
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 1: second and third coaches and maybe pick a second quarterback

848
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:36,880
Speaker 1: special unusual? Yeah, especially when they're not They're not winning,

849
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:38,920
Speaker 1: by the way, right, I'm worried about Ryan Fitzpatrick. He

850
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:42,799
Speaker 1: takes more like vicious hits than any quarterback in the league,

851
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:44,439
Speaker 1: and it just seems like it's a matter of time.

852
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:47,360
Speaker 1: He always gets used to be a really good scrambler,

853
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:52,359
Speaker 1: and he has lost about four steps. He can't scramble anymore. Uh,

854
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 1: you can still sling it though. Let's move on. Oh,

855
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 1: on the throne of ease. Everything is feeling good. Six

856
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 1: straight wins, just be the Packers and another primetime home

857
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:06,400
Speaker 1: game without Gronk. That was a nice win, nice dub

858
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 1: and I just want to before we get into this

859
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:13,359
Speaker 1: game against New England South the Tytoons, I just want

860
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:17,879
Speaker 1: to congratulate everyone and thank everyone for realizing this year.

861
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:20,239
Speaker 1: It felt the first time when New England had their

862
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:24,280
Speaker 1: slow September. For once, it didn't feel like everybody was like, oh,

863
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:26,799
Speaker 1: this is it, but the Patriots aren't that good this year.

864
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 1: I think everybody was just like Aaron Rodgers style, like

865
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 1: we're not buying in. We've seen the monthly splits of

866
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 1: this team for twenty years now, and I don't think

867
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 1: anybody is surprised at all by these wins. And uh,

868
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 1: I I fully fully expect them to continue winning and

869
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:48,399
Speaker 1: end up at twelve or thirteen again. Uh They're going

870
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 1: to Tennessee in this game west to face Titans, who

871
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 1: just they're coming off their biggest win of the year

872
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:57,240
Speaker 1: on Monday Night Football, or at least they're most impressive

873
00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 1: on some level. Your thoughts, I'm still triggering. I'm still

874
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:04,400
Speaker 1: trying to figure out Marcus Mariota, and that puts me

875
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 1: probably in the same bucket as all the coaches who

876
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 1: have had Marcus Mariota because here's the pickle buckets pickles,

877
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 1: when give me that pickle. In order to be devil

878
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 1: opposing defenses, he has to run. He has to use

879
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 1: his legs. But he's not Cam Newton and he gets

880
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 1: injured all the time when he runs. So how do

881
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 1: you use him at his best and keep him healthy?

882
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:29,439
Speaker 1: Look at the Chiefs playoff win last year, the game

883
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 1: against the Eagles. This year, the game against the Cowboys.

884
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 1: He's using his legs and that's when the Titans offense

885
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:38,720
Speaker 1: is at its best. When on third downs, Marcus Mariota

886
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 1: is a threat to run because their passing game on

887
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 1: third downs has been one of the worst. I don't

888
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 1: think he has the same feel of throwing when he's

889
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 1: running like so that's part. That's part of it is

890
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 1: that when he starts to run, it's like he's running.

891
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:55,959
Speaker 1: He has not shown himself to be great throwing necessarily improvised,

892
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 1: like outside the pocket, like a Russell Wilson guy. I mean,

893
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:00,600
Speaker 1: by the way Eric will be at the scheme, maybe

894
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:02,919
Speaker 1: we can get her thoughts during the Sunday night show.

895
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:07,880
Speaker 1: I'm sure she'll be sober, ready to share her thoughts

896
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 1: in a clear manner. Should be interesting. We're doing in

897
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:12,920
Speaker 1: Nashville in the middle of the season. I'm going to

898
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,840
Speaker 1: a bachelorette party too, and we're going to go to

899
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 1: the Pats game versus the Titans, and that the party

900
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 1: is well, We're going to Nashville for the weekend and

901
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 1: then news one Belichick's favorite cities. Yeah, I'd love to

902
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 1: go to Nashville in the middle of the season and party. Hey,

903
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 1: I got a recommendation for you. Yeah, yeah, go to

904
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 1: I believe it's called East Nasty. East. She already was

905
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:40,240
Speaker 1: going there. Biscuit Love is the name of the restaurant.

906
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 1: Get Get This Nasty anywhere tam Posey goes as East Nasty.

907
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:53,279
Speaker 1: Oh dam tweels anyway, that sounds fun. Hey, One on

908
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:56,760
Speaker 1: one takeaway I had from the Titans performance against the Cowboys,

909
00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 1: which again was a very good win, nice win, but

910
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 1: I don't know how to stay in bullet is to

911
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 1: convert like fifteen third and six is in a game,

912
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 1: and it was impressive. But rich to Meni of ESPN

913
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 1: had had a good line about the Jets, and I'll

914
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:12,240
Speaker 1: kind of use here. Sometimes it feels like the Titans

915
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 1: are on a one twenty yard field on a ten

916
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 1: degree incline. Yes, And it's just like so hard for

917
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 1: them to matriculated. I mean, a scoring drive has to

918
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 1: be fifteen plays and nine minutes because there's just no

919
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:26,319
Speaker 1: explosive element to the offense. That's absolutely true. And that

920
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 1: and they're playing a defense which is great at preventing

921
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 1: big plays. Like the Patriots defense is significantly better this

922
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:36,440
Speaker 1: year than it was a year ago. It's taken a

923
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 1: little while for it to get going, but Stefan Gilmour

924
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:42,360
Speaker 1: is playing as well as any cornerback in the league

925
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:45,400
Speaker 1: right now. There's definitely I mean, it's it's been the

926
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:48,400
Speaker 1: story this week, but because they're going up against Malcolm Butler,

927
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:50,759
Speaker 1: and I kind of want to like, I'm recognizing the

928
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 1: Patriots fans enjoying Malcolm Butler struggling a little too much.

929
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 1: And I saw that in myself too about a month ago,

930
00:46:57,239 --> 00:46:58,799
Speaker 1: and when I looked in the mirror, I didn't like

931
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 1: what I saw. So I'm trying to put that past.

932
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:03,359
Speaker 1: Gave you a I get it, I was a hero.

933
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:06,360
Speaker 1: Let's not let's not enjoy. Let's not just like enjoy that.

934
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:08,960
Speaker 1: I'm warning people now if you tweet me that Bill

935
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 1: Belichick was right to bench Malcolm Butler because of how

936
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 1: he's playing with the Tennessee Titans. You will be blocked.

937
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:16,759
Speaker 1: It has nothing you let me. I'll block them too

938
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 1: of knowledge and understanding of the sport. I know, thank you.

939
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 1: I've already gotten about six of those tweets about you

940
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 1: gonna block up tight, don't I know? I allow West

941
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 1: to block for both of us. I almost just don't

942
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:32,280
Speaker 1: really even look at any of the stuff coming in anymore.

943
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 1: I need to adopt it. And Brady was okay on

944
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:39,879
Speaker 1: Sunday night. You guys have been kind of it's he's

945
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:41,479
Speaker 1: been on your radar a little bit. I will say

946
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 1: they're averaging thirty points a game for the past six

947
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 1: speeds the NFL, by the way, since exactly Dan's point

948
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 1: the first month, since the first month, and have had

949
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 1: no continuity in terms of who's out there in any

950
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 1: of the positions. Really, it's a totally different group now

951
00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 1: than it was earlier. You might get Grunk back this week.

952
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:01,319
Speaker 1: It sounds like you will get Sony Michelle back. Rex

953
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:04,759
Speaker 1: Burkehead is practicing again and it can come off in

954
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 1: a few weeks. So I think that's that's trending up.

955
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:10,360
Speaker 1: If they're healthy I may have been playing that up

956
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 1: a little bit for the lock last week. It's not

957
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 1: like Brady's been terrible, He's just missed a lot of

958
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:18,040
Speaker 1: throws this year. But scientists locks that was like, I'm

959
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:20,440
Speaker 1: surprised that it hasn't been on your radar because he's

960
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:23,440
Speaker 1: been missing so many times, Like he has missed a

961
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:27,160
Speaker 1: lot of throwing. He had set such a ridiculous level

962
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:29,439
Speaker 1: the last two years that instead of being the best

963
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:32,240
Speaker 1: quarterback in the league, like maybe he's you know, the

964
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 1: tenth so far and they'll probably get better. And um

965
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:37,840
Speaker 1: I talked. I had this as one of the a

966
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 1: t and Debate club questions And if you're not watching

967
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:42,399
Speaker 1: the Tuesday Show, what's taking you so long? Go check

968
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:45,280
Speaker 1: it out because we did a nice debate segment where

969
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 1: the Western Sets Moving Company and the Hot Boys, which

970
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:50,799
Speaker 1: is Reggie Bush and Greg Rosenthal, squared off in a

971
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:54,080
Speaker 1: debate I moderated and judged. And one of the questions

972
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:56,120
Speaker 1: I had I posed, or one of the debate topics

973
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 1: was should Rob Gronkowski come back as soon as he's

974
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 1: able or should they take it easy? And I did

975
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 1: kind of an extreme by saying wait until the playoffs,

976
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:07,759
Speaker 1: But I honestly think the Patriots are gonna win twelve games,

977
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:10,520
Speaker 1: regardless of weather, grons on the field. I would not

978
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:13,200
Speaker 1: rush this man back. I would wait until that back

979
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 1: is feeling good, not just okay. But we'll see what

980
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:18,960
Speaker 1: they do or how he looks when he does return.

981
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:21,279
Speaker 1: Becau said, they're not going to arrest him. Let's move

982
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:25,719
Speaker 1: on Los Angeles Chargers. Here we go six and two.

983
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:30,960
Speaker 1: They have not lost Gentleman's in September. Uh, so they

984
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:33,279
Speaker 1: are in a five game winning streak and they have

985
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:38,400
Speaker 1: a cookie coming up uh in the Oakland Raiders, So

986
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 1: they go to the black hole. So, Greg, if you

987
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 1: want to make a case, maybe being on the road

988
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:46,280
Speaker 1: could spook the Charges. That has historically given them trouble

989
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:49,360
Speaker 1: this time of year. Uh, some road matchups, but not

990
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 1: The Raiders are just trash. How about you know, you

991
00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:55,320
Speaker 1: throw the records away when you're in the division. Yeah

992
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:57,200
Speaker 1: about that? You throw the records away when you're in

993
00:49:57,239 --> 00:49:59,800
Speaker 1: the division. Are you just throwing this entire Raiders season

994
00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 1: a way? The record book? That do you throw the

995
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:06,040
Speaker 1: record books out? Sometimes? Let's start the rest of the Raiders.

996
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 1: You know, Well, the Raiders are trying to throw their

997
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:11,919
Speaker 1: season away. This is as close to tanking as as

998
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:14,200
Speaker 1: we've seen. It wasn't I don't think it was the intent.

999
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:17,319
Speaker 1: I don't think it was the plan coming in. But

1000
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:21,399
Speaker 1: at this stage they're essentially tanking. They've tanked. I saw

1001
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:23,719
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers tank to get Jamis Winston, so don't tell

1002
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 1: me this is clo. But that was a one week

1003
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: They got the number one pick, which is it comes

1004
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:35,920
Speaker 1: us this man. The Eagles offered after roster for that

1005
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:39,239
Speaker 1: pick and Buccaneers turned it down. It's it's because the

1006
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 1: Nick Mullins storyline was so unexpected and really such a

1007
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:45,560
Speaker 1: nice surprise in a game that no one cared about.

1008
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 1: It's you. What you lose is what a trash bag

1009
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:52,279
Speaker 1: effort that was by the Raiders. That is as embarrassing

1010
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:55,799
Speaker 1: a loss as you could cook up, even in your imagination.

1011
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:58,840
Speaker 1: A player that had essentially never taken a snap comes

1012
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:03,080
Speaker 1: in and scorched scorches you from wire to wire the

1013
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 1: first play the game. I mean, nobody cares about fantasy teams,

1014
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:11,520
Speaker 1: but I started the Raiders defense last week. A lot

1015
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 1: of people did that because they I even consulted with Gregg,

1016
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:17,239
Speaker 1: the former Road a World guy, and you were like,

1017
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 1: it makes some sense. Uh, and you know what, as

1018
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:23,840
Speaker 1: soon as the first quarter started, he completed like a

1019
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:25,759
Speaker 1: nine yard pass and he looked comfortable. I was like, oh,

1020
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 1: this was a horrible decision and it sucked because everything

1021
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:31,439
Speaker 1: Nick Moulins was a feel good story. And I spent

1022
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:34,000
Speaker 1: the whole game just hating the guy because how is

1023
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:36,520
Speaker 1: this guy looking like Montana? And then I realized the

1024
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:41,000
Speaker 1: Raiders aren't trying. Don't go near the Raiders. It was

1025
00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:43,479
Speaker 1: more embarrassing, I think, to see the Raiders score three

1026
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:45,919
Speaker 1: points on one of the worst defenses in the league, though.

1027
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:48,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you had Derek Carr out there, who is

1028
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 1: running into hits. I mean he certainly has not had

1029
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:56,799
Speaker 1: great protection, but in that in that in that game especially,

1030
00:51:56,920 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 1: and they did point out on the telecast like he's

1031
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 1: had protection and then he kind of runs to where

1032
00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:05,480
Speaker 1: where there's pressure and he goes down. Well, it's probably

1033
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:07,640
Speaker 1: in his head. After that Seattle game in London when

1034
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,640
Speaker 1: neither neither tackle could protect him. They look so good

1035
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 1: against the Cults to the week before, and I was thinking, oh,

1036
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 1: car might survive this, or he's the one to keep

1037
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:19,480
Speaker 1: his dignity intact. And then that happens. It's like, oh, hope,

1038
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:22,800
Speaker 1: hopefully the Chargers keep it going. They've passed every check mark.

1039
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 1: You do you do you know, get worried that they're

1040
00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 1: just gonna I don't know not what's the next test

1041
00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:31,520
Speaker 1: for the Raiders, Broncos, Cardinals, then Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh. Keenan Allen's

1042
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:34,759
Speaker 1: almost an afterthought, and he seems as explosive as ever.

1043
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:37,120
Speaker 1: They're using him for like reverses and end a rounds

1044
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:40,759
Speaker 1: every week. They're they're gonna be worst case scenario eight

1045
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:43,560
Speaker 1: and three going to that Pittsburgh game. I think they'll

1046
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 1: be nine and two, and then you'll get the Chiefs

1047
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:47,440
Speaker 1: soon after that. There's a test. Let's see what you

1048
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:49,680
Speaker 1: do in Pittsburgh. I'm not gonna get too excited until

1049
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:52,879
Speaker 1: that game. I mean, watch Melvin Gordon. You get excited. Well,

1050
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:56,960
Speaker 1: I mean, believe in the team, spicy nail. Don't you

1051
00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:59,239
Speaker 1: know why? I just figured out why Greg loves Greg

1052
00:52:59,239 --> 00:53:03,839
Speaker 1: loves the Chargers much. Gino Smith, their backup quarterback. I mean,

1053
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:08,839
Speaker 1: I've loved them before, but that the organizational wisdom that

1054
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:11,879
Speaker 1: they have. Oh yeah, he's got I have. I've said

1055
00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:14,359
Speaker 1: this all right, He's gonna have a Drew Bledsoe in

1056
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:17,719
Speaker 1: the a f C Championship like moment. To shut up

1057
00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:19,959
Speaker 1: all the haters, Greg, you can't have a Drew bled

1058
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:21,920
Speaker 1: so Like moment if you weren't true bled so to

1059
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:23,880
Speaker 1: begin with, Well, no, I'm just saying, like one of

1060
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:26,640
Speaker 1: the great quarterbacks of his era. But now the backup

1061
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 1: comes in, has like a moment, but then hands it

1062
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:33,480
Speaker 1: back to Philip Rivers in some eight different iterations, and

1063
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:35,560
Speaker 1: every time he comes in and blows it the thing

1064
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:37,960
Speaker 1: there though, also that I think we're like Drew Bledsoe

1065
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:40,399
Speaker 1: was a local hero who was it was awkward because

1066
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:44,160
Speaker 1: he was upstaged by Tom Brady. Gino Smith is widely

1067
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:47,840
Speaker 1: considered to be an unlikable character. Justify the comment, right, Like,

1068
00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:51,560
Speaker 1: outside of l A, that's true, but among Chargers fans

1069
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 1: there are no I just I just realized that's true too.

1070
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:57,040
Speaker 1: I just realized I had rude against the charges. I

1071
00:53:57,040 --> 00:53:58,960
Speaker 1: don't want I don't want Geno getting a Super Bowl ring,

1072
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:02,880
Speaker 1: even in a backup capacity. The hatred strong. I mean,

1073
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:04,880
Speaker 1: if you don't think I'm doing a feature on Gina

1074
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:07,719
Speaker 1: Smith that the Super Bowl, you're dead wrong. Alright, we'll

1075
00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:09,520
Speaker 1: get read by four people. I told you already had

1076
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:13,319
Speaker 1: the vision. It's Andy, It's Andy weak. Get ahead of

1077
00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:15,200
Speaker 1: it right now, have your feature in the can. Do

1078
00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:17,880
Speaker 1: you think he remembers doing the owner's meeting interview with

1079
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:19,839
Speaker 1: us if we were to see him at during Super Bowl? Yes,

1080
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:23,360
Speaker 1: I think he's a brilliant man. Yid that is a

1081
00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 1: knack for faces and content. He recognized his fellow brilliant.

1082
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:33,040
Speaker 1: The Miami Dolphins five and four, did not look good

1083
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:35,680
Speaker 1: at all on offense against the Jets, but the Jets

1084
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:39,160
Speaker 1: were so bad offensively themselves that a pick six ended

1085
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:40,839
Speaker 1: up being the difference in the game. So but they

1086
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:42,440
Speaker 1: got to win, and they're five and four and they're

1087
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:46,120
Speaker 1: in the wild card race on some level. Uh, well,

1088
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:48,799
Speaker 1: here's a challenge, go to Lambeau win a football game

1089
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:52,319
Speaker 1: and uh and we know Mark, Well, I'll just say

1090
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 1: this Mark, like we were just saying we took a

1091
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 1: part the Cowboys on the Twitter show, Uh, saying, you

1092
00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:00,439
Speaker 1: know why is everyone surprised why would end? But would

1093
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:02,080
Speaker 1: be surprised that the Cowboys will lose that game when

1094
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:03,960
Speaker 1: they're not that good? Well, how much more evidence do

1095
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:06,239
Speaker 1: we need to see that the Packers can get beat

1096
00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:08,400
Speaker 1: by anybody, because here they are midway through the season

1097
00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:11,880
Speaker 1: with three wins. I totally agree. And the question that

1098
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:14,479
Speaker 1: I would have for you guys is, if you had

1099
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:17,759
Speaker 1: to bet your entire bank account on neither of these

1100
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:20,879
Speaker 1: teams making the playoffs or one of them, which would

1101
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 1: you pick? Because I know I know it's not both.

1102
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 1: To me, it would just be about the Packers. But

1103
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:31,879
Speaker 1: if you had to honestly put all your possessions up,

1104
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 1: do we really believe the Packers are getting there? Or

1105
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:37,239
Speaker 1: is it just that we psychically are attached to what

1106
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:39,840
Speaker 1: the Packers have been for so long with Aaron Rodgers

1107
00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:42,480
Speaker 1: that despite their record, we still see them as the

1108
00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:44,400
Speaker 1: team to beat in that division, done it before, because

1109
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:47,560
Speaker 1: he's done it before. That tie could really help them,

1110
00:55:47,880 --> 00:55:52,239
Speaker 1: Uh potentially if they can go, could bang them too,

1111
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:55,040
Speaker 1: if you're if you're putting those kind of stakes on it.

1112
00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:58,040
Speaker 1: To answer your question, I would choose none. Neither of

1113
00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:00,759
Speaker 1: these teams make the playoffs, right. I know you You

1114
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:04,919
Speaker 1: caught me in uh a truth like logic problem here

1115
00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:06,719
Speaker 1: because I was just talking to you about this the

1116
00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:08,840
Speaker 1: other day that that they would still be the team

1117
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:11,880
Speaker 1: I would take to win that division. But when you

1118
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:14,400
Speaker 1: put it like that. I'm just going with the odds,

1119
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:16,920
Speaker 1: and the odds are there there behind two other teams

1120
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:20,279
Speaker 1: that are solid right now, and they are the long shot.

1121
00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:23,160
Speaker 1: I think they can do it, but they are a

1122
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:27,360
Speaker 1: long as West put uh and informed his lock and

1123
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:29,960
Speaker 1: locked with your heart a little bit west as it

1124
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:34,680
Speaker 1: turned out. But Packers needed that win in New England,

1125
00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:38,279
Speaker 1: American America needed it, Football society needed, and especially in

1126
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:40,600
Speaker 1: New England was not starting their their running back or

1127
00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:43,200
Speaker 1: the titan. You have to go get that win and

1128
00:56:43,239 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 1: get yourself in a four or three in one spot.

1129
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:48,880
Speaker 1: Now you're really behind the aprill. I think they've shown

1130
00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:51,560
Speaker 1: some things defensively that they can build off. I don't

1131
00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:53,959
Speaker 1: know what is the status of Blake Martinez for this week.

1132
00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:56,440
Speaker 1: That would be a big loss. I just can't believe

1133
00:56:56,440 --> 00:56:58,960
Speaker 1: that a team with Aaron Rodgers and the best left

1134
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:03,680
Speaker 1: tackle in football and plenty of other alight, here's the

1135
00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:05,880
Speaker 1: way to look at it. When's the last time a

1136
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:10,440
Speaker 1: Packers team that had Aaron Rodgers healthy did not make

1137
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:12,520
Speaker 1: a charge in a similar situation and end up in

1138
00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:15,800
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Have they always pulled it off? It's never happened.

1139
00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:21,680
Speaker 1: So maybe that first year they've also never had since

1140
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 1: he's been established as a good quarterback, it hasn't so

1141
00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:26,600
Speaker 1: maybe we should before we bet against him, he should

1142
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:29,920
Speaker 1: show us that he isn't able to don relax, he's

1143
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:33,960
Speaker 1: done run the table. Bet on him and your boy,

1144
00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:37,000
Speaker 1: vowdes Scantlin is there. Oh yeah, my boy. They've never

1145
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 1: gotten as far in the season with three wins and

1146
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:43,440
Speaker 1: made the playoffs. They have an uphill They do not

1147
00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:46,800
Speaker 1: have any have had four losses. They have an uphill battle.

1148
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:51,360
Speaker 1: They do one thing on this Dolphins offense. You know,

1149
00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:53,560
Speaker 1: whenever you have a young quarterback and he comes out

1150
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:56,360
Speaker 1: like right away and he does well on the first

1151
00:57:56,440 --> 00:57:58,240
Speaker 1: driver too, and they're like, well, well, let's wait until

1152
00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:00,480
Speaker 1: see after he gets through the scripted las and see

1153
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:03,160
Speaker 1: how he does. The Dolphins are the opposite. They've had

1154
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:05,720
Speaker 1: nine opening drives this year. They're supposed to have one

1155
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:07,760
Speaker 1: of the best offensive minds in the game as their coach,

1156
00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:10,440
Speaker 1: and they've punted all nine times on the opening drives

1157
00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:14,360
Speaker 1: this year. Then, Brockos Swailer has gotten worse week after

1158
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:16,760
Speaker 1: week after week after week, a little bit worse each

1159
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:19,840
Speaker 1: time until last week, where he was barely on the

1160
00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:21,760
Speaker 1: field well and if someone told you you're gonna go

1161
00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:23,840
Speaker 1: play this Jets team that has all sorts of issues

1162
00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:27,400
Speaker 1: on offense, you're going to get four interceptions, would you

1163
00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:30,160
Speaker 1: say you're gonna put up more than thirteen points? That's

1164
00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:32,560
Speaker 1: that's not a good showing. This is the most disrespected

1165
00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:35,720
Speaker 1: five and four team I can remember, Like, no one,

1166
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:38,440
Speaker 1: no one. They don't even respect themselves as teams. And

1167
00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:40,480
Speaker 1: yet like when you look at when you look at

1168
00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:44,480
Speaker 1: the like you're not passing, No they're not. They're getting

1169
00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:46,520
Speaker 1: fights after it, Like there's all the sorts of things.

1170
00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:48,959
Speaker 1: They just seem unhappy for such a five and four team.

1171
00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:50,680
Speaker 1: But when you look at like d V O A

1172
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:54,360
Speaker 1: for whatever, these are the thirteenth and fourteenth best teams

1173
00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:56,800
Speaker 1: in the league. These two they see him. It's about

1174
00:58:56,800 --> 00:58:59,080
Speaker 1: the same because they've they've found a way to cook

1175
00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:03,280
Speaker 1: up some plays and one side of their ball usually

1176
00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 1: plays fairly well to the point where they've been averaged.

1177
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:07,959
Speaker 1: They've had great special team. So I don't know. Here's

1178
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:12,360
Speaker 1: an NFC West matchup the Seahawks four and four. Uh,

1179
00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:15,280
Speaker 1: we're charging looking good and then they ran into the

1180
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:18,680
Speaker 1: Chargers in their building. Uh, tough loss. That kind of

1181
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:23,440
Speaker 1: brought him down to earth. Uh and now bad loss,

1182
00:59:23,520 --> 00:59:26,400
Speaker 1: because now you've got to go play the Rams at home.

1183
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:29,720
Speaker 1: A Rams team West that's coming off their first loss

1184
00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:33,320
Speaker 1: of the season. You can imagine that this is gonna

1185
00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:35,760
Speaker 1: be a difficult team to beat twice in a row.

1186
00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:38,600
Speaker 1: The Rams have a beautiful, beautiful offense, and I don't

1187
00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:41,120
Speaker 1: feel any different about them after that loss to the Saints,

1188
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:43,520
Speaker 1: a game I believe could have gone either way. Did

1189
00:59:43,560 --> 00:59:47,600
Speaker 1: the defense bother you at all? That they bothers me? Um?

1190
00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:51,200
Speaker 1: And I maybe he's overcompensating for that injury. I know

1191
00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:53,400
Speaker 1: he's got caught peeking a few times in the backfield

1192
00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:55,880
Speaker 1: moving well though. I mean he he wasn't moving well

1193
00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:59,120
Speaker 1: with Mike Thomas beat him. I mean he wasn't moving

1194
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:02,040
Speaker 1: that well last week. And this Seattle team played them

1195
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:04,440
Speaker 1: tough last week. They came out a ran the ball

1196
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:08,080
Speaker 1: down the Charger's throats on the opening drive last week. Um,

1197
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:10,160
Speaker 1: it looked like a long afternoon for the Chargers. D

1198
01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:14,160
Speaker 1: Than Carson got injured, and Mike Davis runs just as

1199
01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:16,440
Speaker 1: physically as Chris Carson. He's one of the few backs

1200
01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:18,720
Speaker 1: in the NFL that does. He's just not nearly as

1201
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:22,720
Speaker 1: good as Chris Carson. They miss him. They they will

1202
01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:25,400
Speaker 1: miss him. This was I think my favorite game of

1203
01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:28,920
Speaker 1: the season the first time they played. That game had everything.

1204
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:32,120
Speaker 1: It was so much fun. It was surprising. And I

1205
01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:34,360
Speaker 1: don't And this is a case where I think the

1206
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:36,760
Speaker 1: division teams know each other well and I don't see

1207
01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:41,120
Speaker 1: the Rams as some crazy, prohibitive, prohibitive favorite. I think

1208
01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:44,280
Speaker 1: the Seahawks will show up the Rams after a loss.

1209
01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:48,080
Speaker 1: By the way, we're excellent last year four and oh

1210
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:50,840
Speaker 1: they average thirty four points a game. They the games

1211
01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:55,960
Speaker 1: were not close. So Peyton McVeigh, in addition to uh

1212
01:00:56,080 --> 01:01:00,280
Speaker 1: being this hot shot UH offensive mind, obviously has able

1213
01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:02,320
Speaker 1: to coach these teams up well coming off losses with

1214
01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:04,840
Speaker 1: that great coaching staff. You know, Bones has got something

1215
01:01:04,920 --> 01:01:08,520
Speaker 1: up a sleeve. West. It's crazy, no matter who's returning

1216
01:01:08,560 --> 01:01:11,200
Speaker 1: for them, he gets these nameless, faceless returners who all

1217
01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:14,600
Speaker 1: average thirty something yards. Although hecker not getting to the sticks,

1218
01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:16,280
Speaker 1: and maybe he did, but he didn't get the call

1219
01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:20,200
Speaker 1: he had heard Bones, I mean I would I would

1220
01:01:20,240 --> 01:01:22,200
Speaker 1: submit that he got to the sticks. I think he

1221
01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:24,080
Speaker 1: did too. I thought he got banged a little bit. There.

1222
01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:26,640
Speaker 1: There was like not one that they needed one more

1223
01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:29,800
Speaker 1: replay angle to make that very clear to everyone. It's

1224
01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:31,840
Speaker 1: I mean, it's an interesting week for the Rams who

1225
01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:35,440
Speaker 1: have been in Los Angeles now for the third this

1226
01:01:35,520 --> 01:01:38,360
Speaker 1: is their third year there. Their their home is Thousand Oaks,

1227
01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:42,080
Speaker 1: which you know, we taped this Thursday. Then the night before,

1228
01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:45,040
Speaker 1: you know, was was a shooting which I'm sure our

1229
01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:47,800
Speaker 1: listeners have heard about where twelve people died. A lot

1230
01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:50,440
Speaker 1: of the Rams live there. That's that's where they practice,

1231
01:01:50,760 --> 01:01:53,440
Speaker 1: that's that's that's their home. They they live in the

1232
01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:57,200
Speaker 1: Thousand Oaks area. You could definitely tell h today in

1233
01:01:57,200 --> 01:01:59,320
Speaker 1: Sean mcveig's speech and then just some of the things

1234
01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:01,680
Speaker 1: that the players have tweeted out it that that has

1235
01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:03,960
Speaker 1: gonna hit home. Obviously, you have no idea what if

1236
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:06,560
Speaker 1: that means anything for a football game, but I did.

1237
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:09,120
Speaker 1: I did just think I think it's interesting that the Rams,

1238
01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:11,720
Speaker 1: the Rams have become i think, more of a part

1239
01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:14,479
Speaker 1: of the fabric of Los Angeles over the last few years.

1240
01:02:14,480 --> 01:02:16,680
Speaker 1: And this is definitely in a you know, just a

1241
01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:19,240
Speaker 1: time that it's only gonna do that more and that

1242
01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:21,320
Speaker 1: that they're gonna be really impacted by that. That is

1243
01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:23,960
Speaker 1: a small town where cal Lutheran. Is that you guys

1244
01:02:23,960 --> 01:02:25,640
Speaker 1: have been up there. I mean that's that college is

1245
01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:27,840
Speaker 1: closed today. It's a it's a small that's not l A.

1246
01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:30,520
Speaker 1: That's like small little suburban that's where most of the

1247
01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:33,720
Speaker 1: players live. People who who get on l as a

1248
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:36,280
Speaker 1: football city or take the Chargers and then luck the

1249
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:39,080
Speaker 1: Rams in with the charge It's it's frankly lazy and

1250
01:02:39,160 --> 01:02:44,240
Speaker 1: just your misinformed. Because the Rams there is a real

1251
01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:46,960
Speaker 1: fan culture out here and they are connected to the city.

1252
01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:49,040
Speaker 1: They were before they left, and that's why when they

1253
01:02:49,080 --> 01:02:51,600
Speaker 1: came back, it made so much more sense, uh than

1254
01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:53,720
Speaker 1: what's going on with the Chargers. But yeah, that that

1255
01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:57,440
Speaker 1: is gotta be casting a paul over that entire facility,

1256
01:02:57,960 --> 01:02:59,959
Speaker 1: because they're right in to think of it, they said,

1257
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:02,120
Speaker 1: are gonna have a moment of silence, Maybe do something now.

1258
01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:06,000
Speaker 1: Sandrew Whitworth is kind of getting something together between the

1259
01:03:06,280 --> 01:03:09,480
Speaker 1: players in the community and and we'll we'll see if

1260
01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:12,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if that has any impact. Let's move

1261
01:03:12,760 --> 01:03:17,840
Speaker 1: on to Sunday Night football NFC East affair. The Dallas

1262
01:03:17,840 --> 01:03:20,880
Speaker 1: Cowboys come on. They gotta flex them out after what

1263
01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:22,840
Speaker 1: they did on Monday. I mean, we are I know

1264
01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:24,560
Speaker 1: you need more time to do that. But that's another

1265
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:27,840
Speaker 1: rule change. They would never at not at three and five,

1266
01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:30,400
Speaker 1: so they're three and five, they are This is a

1267
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:33,880
Speaker 1: loser goes home for them. So it's not a loser

1268
01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:37,200
Speaker 1: goes home match because the Eagles could survive, although they'd

1269
01:03:37,200 --> 01:03:38,640
Speaker 1: be in a lot of trouble if they lost at

1270
01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:41,320
Speaker 1: four and four. But you gotta you gotta like the

1271
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:46,200
Speaker 1: chances here for the Eagles, um greg who do very

1272
01:03:46,200 --> 01:03:49,640
Speaker 1: well stopping the run, especially at home. And if you

1273
01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:52,400
Speaker 1: take Ezekiel out, Elliott out of the Cowboys offense, even

1274
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:55,200
Speaker 1: with the Mary Cooper there, you just don't imagine they're

1275
01:03:55,200 --> 01:03:57,240
Speaker 1: gonna be able to put up a lot of points. Yeah,

1276
01:03:57,320 --> 01:04:00,520
Speaker 1: you saw some of the limitations of building the offense

1277
01:04:00,560 --> 01:04:03,160
Speaker 1: around Zeke last week where he started out great kind

1278
01:04:03,200 --> 01:04:07,120
Speaker 1: of faded throughout the game. And you need more than that.

1279
01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:10,280
Speaker 1: You need a a receiver group. Where it's been on

1280
01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:12,960
Speaker 1: the receiver. Everyone's been blaming the receivers and maybe they

1281
01:04:12,960 --> 01:04:15,720
Speaker 1: can't just get open, but it seems like it's a

1282
01:04:15,760 --> 01:04:18,919
Speaker 1: combination between the play caller and the receivers and Dak

1283
01:04:18,960 --> 01:04:22,000
Speaker 1: Prescott can all take some blame, but I really don't

1284
01:04:22,040 --> 01:04:24,440
Speaker 1: think he's had open receivers to throw to. I think

1285
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:26,800
Speaker 1: they're just kind of a stale offense where guys aren't open,

1286
01:04:28,160 --> 01:04:32,280
Speaker 1: hard to watch. I took away that the receivers weren't

1287
01:04:32,280 --> 01:04:35,440
Speaker 1: that bad last week. I thought Gallup showed something. I

1288
01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:39,880
Speaker 1: thought Amark Cooper showed something. Cooper Cooper looked good by

1289
01:04:39,880 --> 01:04:42,360
Speaker 1: the way he had been doing well until he disappeared.

1290
01:04:42,360 --> 01:04:44,400
Speaker 1: Those guys were okay the past couple of weeks. Actually,

1291
01:04:44,440 --> 01:04:46,400
Speaker 1: the wide receivers, I don't think it's you want to

1292
01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:48,440
Speaker 1: talk about disappearing when the team needs you. There was

1293
01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:51,040
Speaker 1: he was. You could have sent the search party after

1294
01:04:51,040 --> 01:04:55,800
Speaker 1: the guy on Monday night. The expensive the Eagles were

1295
01:04:55,840 --> 01:04:59,960
Speaker 1: really hoping for Darren Sprawls. I guess. I guess it's

1296
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:03,080
Speaker 1: often volunteer. It's often volunteer work. Search parties, isn't it

1297
01:05:03,120 --> 01:05:06,880
Speaker 1: like neighbors and friends helicopters though they're expensive, that they were.

1298
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:09,080
Speaker 1: The Eagles were really hoping for Darren Sprowls to come

1299
01:05:09,120 --> 01:05:11,960
Speaker 1: back and make an impact. They they didn't trade for

1300
01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:16,360
Speaker 1: running back, They held his roster spot open um and

1301
01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:18,880
Speaker 1: cut a player that they didn't necessarily want to because

1302
01:05:18,880 --> 01:05:20,680
Speaker 1: of that, and then he came back. To practice this week,

1303
01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:23,880
Speaker 1: immediately hurt his hamstring, not expected to play in the game,

1304
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:26,000
Speaker 1: and you have to wonder, like is he going to

1305
01:05:26,120 --> 01:05:27,959
Speaker 1: play for them at all? And that not only heard

1306
01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:30,760
Speaker 1: his hamstring, but heard it in a different spot. It's

1307
01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:34,760
Speaker 1: like a new injury. The Cowboys also are not gonna

1308
01:05:34,800 --> 01:05:37,760
Speaker 1: have Sean Lee for a while, and it crossed with

1309
01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:39,680
Speaker 1: him leaving last week. Was that the last time we

1310
01:05:39,720 --> 01:05:42,360
Speaker 1: see Sean Lee in a Cowboys uniform. Maybe he's back

1311
01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:45,040
Speaker 1: this season, but at some point I think they can't

1312
01:05:45,080 --> 01:05:47,960
Speaker 1: keep paying him this much. I mean, he needs hamstring

1313
01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:51,480
Speaker 1: replacement surgery. Well they gotta They gotta figure out how

1314
01:05:51,520 --> 01:05:53,560
Speaker 1: to do that. And for the first time ever, their

1315
01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:55,640
Speaker 1: defense didn't collapse when he was out because late and

1316
01:05:55,680 --> 01:05:58,000
Speaker 1: Vander esh has played really well and so is Jalen Smith.

1317
01:05:58,120 --> 01:06:00,400
Speaker 1: But about the hamstring replacement surgery, well, I mean we

1318
01:06:00,400 --> 01:06:02,080
Speaker 1: gotta figure that. You know, you know who did that,

1319
01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:05,400
Speaker 1: Ken Griffy Jr. With the ritz he did I remember

1320
01:06:05,440 --> 01:06:08,080
Speaker 1: that the Reds got a broken King Griffy Junior. That

1321
01:06:08,120 --> 01:06:10,120
Speaker 1: was like the most excited I've been as a Reds fan,

1322
01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:12,160
Speaker 1: and like it all went ruther too. The wall the

1323
01:06:12,160 --> 01:06:13,840
Speaker 1: first game with the Reds and break his wrist. He

1324
01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:15,840
Speaker 1: ran into the wall every game with When you say

1325
01:06:15,920 --> 01:06:17,880
Speaker 1: we will figure it out, we've gotta figured out to you.

1326
01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:19,320
Speaker 1: Do you feel like you have a large part in

1327
01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:23,120
Speaker 1: the medical research community. I strayed to my hamstring twice

1328
01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:26,440
Speaker 1: in the first Shield Championship season, so it's it's personal

1329
01:06:26,480 --> 01:06:28,360
Speaker 1: cause for me as well. You know how, like West,

1330
01:06:28,520 --> 01:06:31,800
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, are you the brain power behind that procedure?

1331
01:06:31,880 --> 01:06:33,680
Speaker 1: Being No, I'm just an the porter. I'm like on

1332
01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:37,480
Speaker 1: the board West, when you contracted cancer and it was very,

1333
01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:41,320
Speaker 1: very sad, and and and you overcame it. You do

1334
01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:44,720
Speaker 1: feel closer to it. It's not like he used a

1335
01:06:44,800 --> 01:06:50,160
Speaker 1: dirty needle or something. I mean with yeah, basically mirrors

1336
01:06:50,160 --> 01:06:54,120
Speaker 1: yours with the hamstring. Anyway, the Eagles got a win

1337
01:06:54,200 --> 01:06:57,960
Speaker 1: in the community. Now the hamstring the Eagles gotta win.

1338
01:06:58,080 --> 01:07:01,240
Speaker 1: They're gonna win this game. I should't lock this one

1339
01:07:01,320 --> 01:07:05,320
Speaker 1: up because I feel superum confident that they're gonna win

1340
01:07:05,320 --> 01:07:07,760
Speaker 1: this because they know they got the Superdome next week.

1341
01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:10,200
Speaker 1: I I am gonna lock it up. I've locked them

1342
01:07:10,240 --> 01:07:13,680
Speaker 1: up for much of the season. Good luck. I stupidly

1343
01:07:13,920 --> 01:07:17,000
Speaker 1: jumped off of them. When you guys didn't against the Jaguars.

1344
01:07:17,080 --> 01:07:19,439
Speaker 1: But but but play better than they did in that game.

1345
01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:22,360
Speaker 1: That game is one of the reasons why I didn't

1346
01:07:22,360 --> 01:07:24,600
Speaker 1: mind not locking them there. They don't beat anyone by

1347
01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:28,160
Speaker 1: more than two scores. They haven't been impressive, like it

1348
01:07:28,200 --> 01:07:30,439
Speaker 1: all makes sense that they should be better. They're coming

1349
01:07:30,440 --> 01:07:33,240
Speaker 1: out of thereby let's see it. Yeah, they haven't. They

1350
01:07:33,320 --> 01:07:36,040
Speaker 1: They've really been a very mediocre team. If anything, they're

1351
01:07:36,080 --> 01:07:39,400
Speaker 1: lucky to be for and for And finally, Monday Night Football,

1352
01:07:39,440 --> 01:07:42,120
Speaker 1: the other really bad game on this week and also

1353
01:07:42,120 --> 01:07:45,440
Speaker 1: a New York team, the Giants one in seven, last

1354
01:07:45,440 --> 01:07:48,120
Speaker 1: place in the NFC East against the forty Niners two

1355
01:07:48,120 --> 01:07:52,400
Speaker 1: and seven, last place in the NFC West. Eli Manning,

1356
01:07:52,520 --> 01:07:55,120
Speaker 1: who knows every start now could be the last one

1357
01:07:55,240 --> 01:07:57,720
Speaker 1: for Eli if he continues to play this way. And

1358
01:07:57,720 --> 01:07:59,640
Speaker 1: if you want to get excited about the game, mark

1359
01:08:00,440 --> 01:08:03,720
Speaker 1: if you like a little Nick Mullins, uh, you know,

1360
01:08:03,840 --> 01:08:06,000
Speaker 1: fairy Tale, you like a little breath Farve on the

1361
01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:11,000
Speaker 1: phone like a little schoolboy. They're gonna go back to Farve.

1362
01:08:11,720 --> 01:08:14,320
Speaker 1: I don't know, but then you might like this game.

1363
01:08:15,160 --> 01:08:17,759
Speaker 1: Four things that I will consider doing instead of watching

1364
01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:21,640
Speaker 1: this game. Number one print out one thousand images of

1365
01:08:21,640 --> 01:08:25,240
Speaker 1: paul A pound Stone and over the next three years

1366
01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:28,200
Speaker 1: send one daily via snail mail to Dan's house, each

1367
01:08:28,280 --> 01:08:33,200
Speaker 1: with this message you like what you see? Number two

1368
01:08:33,280 --> 01:08:37,000
Speaker 1: the liminal history. I think possibly number two be one

1369
01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:38,840
Speaker 1: of those guys who camps out on a billboard and

1370
01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:41,639
Speaker 1: refuses to come down until every human being who owns

1371
01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:44,599
Speaker 1: a cat or multiple cats allows them to roam free

1372
01:08:44,600 --> 01:08:46,760
Speaker 1: in the streets for all of us to appreciate. Did

1373
01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:51,080
Speaker 1: that end in or something? Nobody does that anymore? Early

1374
01:08:51,120 --> 01:08:54,000
Speaker 1: two thousand's it was. It was a like legit stunt

1375
01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:56,719
Speaker 1: in every city, the radio morning show type thing people

1376
01:08:56,760 --> 01:08:59,960
Speaker 1: would do. People realize, there's the stupidest thing of human

1377
01:09:00,520 --> 01:09:03,799
Speaker 1: Number three take a shared uber to the Mexican border,

1378
01:09:04,120 --> 01:09:07,320
Speaker 1: cross said border, continue south to Nicaragua, and become a

1379
01:09:07,320 --> 01:09:12,000
Speaker 1: Monday through Friday landscaper for a local warlord. The war lord.

1380
01:09:12,040 --> 01:09:14,320
Speaker 1: But there's something I've always thought, if you were like

1381
01:09:14,320 --> 01:09:17,400
Speaker 1: a landscape er, if you were like tending to lawns

1382
01:09:17,439 --> 01:09:20,439
Speaker 1: and properties to be an honest living and something that

1383
01:09:20,479 --> 01:09:23,480
Speaker 1: I would like to do, but not for a warlord.

1384
01:09:23,960 --> 01:09:26,840
Speaker 1: M I I largely agree, But are you gonna tell

1385
01:09:26,880 --> 01:09:29,800
Speaker 1: the uber share rider that you're doing on the way there.

1386
01:09:30,479 --> 01:09:34,559
Speaker 1: I don't have to talk to that person. It's a

1387
01:09:34,680 --> 01:09:36,880
Speaker 1: long ride to share. No, you gotta do the shared

1388
01:09:36,920 --> 01:09:39,800
Speaker 1: it's too expensive. Number four, prank call the twenty two

1389
01:09:39,840 --> 01:09:42,960
Speaker 1: people in l A County who still have landlines. I

1390
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:45,120
Speaker 1: genuinely miss prank calling people and think it would be

1391
01:09:45,120 --> 01:09:48,280
Speaker 1: way more fun than watching Giants first Niners. I like

1392
01:09:48,360 --> 01:09:50,160
Speaker 1: the idea of like a forty five year old man

1393
01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:52,920
Speaker 1: prank calling people on a Monday night. I have a

1394
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:57,639
Speaker 1: rooting n Yeah, I'm rooting for Eli Manning to lose

1395
01:09:57,680 --> 01:10:00,280
Speaker 1: two more games and then get pulled. So it's career

1396
01:10:00,320 --> 01:10:05,120
Speaker 1: record is the very artistic and very fitting one twelve

1397
01:10:05,320 --> 01:10:10,000
Speaker 1: and one twelve, the most average quarterback of his generation,

1398
01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:13,160
Speaker 1: will finish with a do you factor in the playoff record?

1399
01:10:13,200 --> 01:10:16,280
Speaker 1: Because that's not bad. It's actually under five hundred. That's

1400
01:10:16,280 --> 01:10:20,920
Speaker 1: not bad, but includes two titles. This playoff record is

1401
01:10:20,960 --> 01:10:26,080
Speaker 1: under five hundred people because they lost so many times,

1402
01:10:26,320 --> 01:10:27,960
Speaker 1: because he took the team to the playoffs a ton

1403
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:32,040
Speaker 1: of years early on. Actually, no, I'm wrong. Yeah, I'm

1404
01:10:32,400 --> 01:10:34,759
Speaker 1: eight and four in the playoffs, so maybe he should

1405
01:10:34,760 --> 01:10:37,120
Speaker 1: conclude the most important games in his career. He has

1406
01:10:37,160 --> 01:10:40,120
Speaker 1: gone one and done four different times, and gone four

1407
01:10:40,160 --> 01:10:44,360
Speaker 1: and twice, well four twice. Remember that the Giants, and

1408
01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:46,439
Speaker 1: the Giants went one and done, not Eli Manning. Eli

1409
01:10:46,520 --> 01:10:51,360
Speaker 1: Manning led them to two Super Bowls. Hey kitting four twice?

1410
01:10:51,520 --> 01:10:55,840
Speaker 1: It is. It is an amazing thing to look at

1411
01:10:55,920 --> 01:10:58,360
Speaker 1: that they've they've won. They've only won a game in

1412
01:10:58,400 --> 01:11:01,240
Speaker 1: the playoffs once in the last death Gaid, but they

1413
01:11:01,280 --> 01:11:04,840
Speaker 1: made account. It's with a Hall of Fame quarterback. He's

1414
01:11:04,880 --> 01:11:08,160
Speaker 1: special and who did he beat in those two Super Bowls?

1415
01:11:08,800 --> 01:11:11,439
Speaker 1: The New England paid greatest coach and the greatest quarterback

1416
01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:17,360
Speaker 1: of all time two times twice? What a game this

1417
01:11:17,439 --> 01:11:26,080
Speaker 1: is gonna be? Erica, have fun and Nashville what sack
