Speaker 1: Around the NFL podcast Just four Broads Talking Ball. Welcome

9
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: to another Just to Be Around the NFL podcast, presented

10
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: by the United States Marine Corps. My name is Dan

11
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: hans As, I'm joined a room. It's just filled with heroes.

12
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler, Chris Westling, and Greg Rose the ball? What

13
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: is up? Boys? Hey? Dan? That feels like a ripe

14
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: intro that I could take to Human Resources and and

15
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: file some sort of a complaint. I'm not sure what

16
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: it would be or why it would be necessarily a

17
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: home run complaints, but I think I could find a way.

18
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: What was that, Mark? Oh? Yeah, what is that new SoundBite?

19
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: I don't like? Alright, Bye, you know we're we're celebrating.

20
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: I never had heard a sound drop on our show

21
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: that made me want to take a shower more than that. Yeah, Um,

22
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: we're celebrating the veterans of this country. Uh we are.

23
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: And um, so it's fitting that many many a battle

24
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 1: today on Sunday Week ten. A great Sunday of action,

25
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 1: wasn't it? Mark? Oh yeah, we really if you want

26
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: to go home Mark with Actually this may be the

27
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: best thing that's ever happened to me. Uh No, A

28
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: lot of great games today Sunday we had, um and

29
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: we were able to really key in on them as

30
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: a group because there were less games because of the

31
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: six teams on by, so we uh a lot to

32
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: get to and it was again one of those weeks

33
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: where just when you think you have things figured out,

34
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: there's some curveballs like what happened at the Superdome today.

35
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: And also all the one in seven teams won, like

36
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: every one of them. Uh So you know the NFL,

37
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: it's unpredictable. How about that for a catchphrase? I have

38
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: to it's almost like any given Sunday, anything can happen.

39
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: Did you come up with that? Just now? That's good?

40
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: That is good. Anyway, on any given Sunday, anything could happen.

41
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,119
Speaker 1: And we saw that again. So we're gonna go through

42
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: each of the Sunday games. Uh capping it with the

43
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: showdown in Big D the Vikings and Cowboys. But let's

44
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: start with what I believe was the high scoring game

45
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: of Week ten so far, in a game that came

46
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 1: with a shocking ending of its own. Let's go to Nashville.

47
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: Tannehill looking cloking, firing, a little bit of fun, hut

48
00:02:47,160 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: Fries five pure cut him uns. Titans fans always upset.

49
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: You never give us love. You're always, you know, keeping

50
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: us down. Well, now you're leading the show, so you

51
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 1: enjoy it. Mike Keith with the call, Titans Radio Network.

52
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill twenty three yards strike to Adam Humphreys with

53
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: twenty three seconds to play, and then Joshua Kalou blocked

54
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: the last second field goal attempt. The Titans beat the

55
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 1: Chiefs thirty thirty two in Patrick Mahomes's return to the lineup.

56
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: Greg Mahomes was excellent as always in his return. But

57
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: a Chief's defense, we were just singing Osanna's over a

58
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: week ago. You know, they landed on the wrong side

59
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: of the tann scale. They did. Tannehill has come in

60
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: and he hasn't played that great, but he's had a

61
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: knack for making big plays in the big moments. That's

62
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: three game winning drives in four starts. In the two

63
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: most memorable plays I think the Titans had on offense

64
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: was him trucking some Chief's defensive backs, one on a

65
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: scramble on third and long, which which set up a score,

66
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: and then another on the two point conversion. And yet

67
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: I don't take too many negatives away from the this

68
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: Chief's performance. A lot of crazy things happen, but especially

69
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: on special teams where Bucker missed an extra point which

70
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: is the reason that they were trailing three late because

71
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 1: they went for two. They were only up one late.

72
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: They had an ex field goal block of course, that

73
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: ended the game, and they should have been up eight

74
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: with a minute and a half to go, and they

75
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: snapped the ball before their holder was ready, and they

76
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: got the first ever intentional grounding on a holder, Dustin

77
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: cole Quit with about a minute forty to go, that

78
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: I've ever seen in my entire life, which set up

79
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: the Titans game winning touchdown. So the Chief's offense, I

80
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 1: don't know if it was it was flukey. Yes, I

81
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: think the Chief's offense is so good. I'm not concerned

82
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: about the long term. But the Titans did a great

83
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: job after halftime finding a way to win this. Be

84
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: concerned about one thing, though, because you now have four losses.

85
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: That's the Chiefs, and you're in a conference that looked

86
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: a little whacky a couple weeks ago. But the Ravens

87
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: are surging with two losses, Texans with three, you're you're

88
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: falling out of that spot to get a buy if

89
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: you keep up these fluke people. And that's what when

90
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: they managed with Matt Moore to beat the Vikings last week,

91
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 1: it felt like such an important win to them because

92
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 1: this is a team that does need to go eleven

93
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: and five or twelve and four and get themselves set

94
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: up for January football. Uh. And yet dropping this game

95
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: and it's no sin to to lose on the road

96
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: against the capable team like the Titans are. Tetans aren't

97
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 1: a great team, but they they've they've showed fight almost

98
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 1: every week the season, especially since town Hall got in

99
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: the lineup. But at a certain point you need to

100
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: get out a run. And it's six and four. Their

101
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: chances of getting a bye, uh, even the division you

102
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: can't just handed to and they're only one game ahead

103
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 1: of the Raiders now, yeah. And on the other side,

104
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: the Titans. I mean, look what the Colts are doing

105
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: in that division the last two weeks. The Texans are

106
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: in first place, but have the Ravens and Patriots and

107
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: two of the next three weeks, so you can't rule

108
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 1: out the Titans. Well, plus the wild card spot. You know,

109
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 1: we'll get to the Bills later, but both of the

110
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: wild card spots are gonna be wide open. The Titans.

111
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 1: We shouldn't be too surprised. Find a way to get

112
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: a win, to get to five and five, which is

113
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 1: just what the Titans do, and you I do give

114
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: him credit for in the second half. It's a trend.

115
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry gets rolling. I mean, the Chiefs are a

116
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 1: team I trust because they throw the ball so well.

117
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 1: And Mahomes was awesome today. He missed one throw early

118
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: where it would have gone to Tyreek Hill to make

119
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: it seventeen nothing they had at one point I think,

120
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 1: really halftime, it was forty one plays for the Chiefs

121
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: to eight teen for the Titans, and this could have

122
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: been a walk early. Mahomes missed that throw, but didn't

123
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: miss many and most of the times they were stopped

124
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: where because of Tyreek Hill or Sammy Watkins drops are

125
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 1: kind of unforced airs. But when the Titans got the

126
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: ball late, like, they found a way to make big plays.

127
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 1: Tannehill had a pretty throw to cleave Raymond and Henry,

128
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 1: especially down the stretch, ran all over the Chiefs, and

129
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: the Chiefs run defense is a problem. Their past defense

130
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 1: is pretty good, but the run defense is a problem.

131
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 1: And they also lost Emmanuel Ogba in this game to

132
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: a torn pick tour. He's been good. The two hundred

133
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: and twenty five yards on the ground at eight point

134
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: seven yards per carrying. I mean, you get these Derrick

135
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: Henry games every once in a while where he had

136
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: nearly two hundred on his own where he explodes and

137
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: the Titans offense looks completely different, but they had some

138
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: I feel like every time he looked up, Tannehill was

139
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: connecting with targets on big plays, which has been totally

140
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: absent for chunks of Tennessee season. There that is becoming

141
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: slightly annoying. Just agree with yourself, um, And so much

142
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: for Patrick Mahomes being ease back into action, not that

143
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: anybody speculated that would happen, but thirty six out of

144
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: fifty for four six, so he was out there. It

145
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: could have been more. It felt like it could have

146
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: been more like the Titans had no answer. Uh, he

147
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: looked awesome and yet he still didn't look a hundred percent.

148
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: They rolled him out and he was on the move

149
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: a number of times. He was hesitant to run. I

150
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: don't think he scrambled the entire game, and he was

151
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: in Romo commented on it. He was he seemed like

152
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: he was moving at about eight and yet he had

153
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: so many crazy throws, including you know, I jumped past

154
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: to mcole Hardman that ended up being a sixty three

155
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: yeard touchdown, which was one of the most ridiculous places

156
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: I've ever seen. I know Mitchell Schwartz smith some time

157
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: with a knee injury and it was the first snaps

158
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: he's missed in seven and a half years. He has

159
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: been a total rock in Cleveland first, but now with

160
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. One of the reads they lost this game

161
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: is is there line the Chiefs that is was really

162
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: banged up. At one point when schwartz was out, they

163
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: were down four offensive linemen. They if they had one

164
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: more injury, they wouldn't have had anyone left to put in.

165
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: Uh and Mahomes was pressured quite a bit by Harold

166
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: Landry uh confirming what you said. There was no credited

167
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: rushing rushing attempt by Mahomes and also Tyreek Hill targeted

168
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 1: nineteen times in this game. He finished for eleven seven

169
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: and a touchdown. So yes, a tough loss with the

170
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: Chiefs there six and four. That was their first loss

171
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 1: away from Arrowhead Stadium. I think we all feel like

172
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 1: they're still gonna be okay, but they gotta get on

173
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: a winning streak. Let us move on. Jackson will keep

174
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 1: it on the readoption. He's got spins at the thirty,

175
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: He's got REALM twenty. Lamar Jackson ted five touchdown ravens.

176
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson put the spin the sprint on the score.

177
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: I mean, that's Michael Vicken two. This is unbelievable. Jerry

178
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:27,599
Speaker 1: Sandusky and Dennis Dennis Pitta of w B a L

179
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,079
Speaker 1: with the call. J R. Johnson's also on that team.

180
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: I don't want to speculate that was pittat with the

181
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: second voice that came in, so let's say Johnson could

182
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: have been there as well done. Lamar Jackson rules the

183
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: world the dual threat QB. He threw three touchdowns and

184
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: then that forty seven yard Madden like touchdown run vic

185
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,959
Speaker 1: Like if you want to hear it from Pitta and

186
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: or Johnson, the Ravens roll up the Bengals. The Ravens

187
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: are now seven and two. They have the looks of

188
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 1: an emerging emerging juggernaut. Mark my goodness. I mean, I

189
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 1: think the play is Jackson like, it's not the Michael

190
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: Vick is a fine comparison in terms of athletic ability,

191
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: but he's his own guy and he's doing things that

192
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: it reminds me when I was young and you saw

193
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: Steve Young rumble against the Vikings on that one run

194
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: that they've played four billion times since. They're gonna do

195
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: that with this, and there are kids watching this that

196
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: are gonna want to go out and play football after

197
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: school and do the same thing. And they showed they

198
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 1: slowed that down and showed him escaping five would be

199
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,199
Speaker 1: Bengals tacklers in the course of like twenty something yards.

200
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: I mean, and it's every game. He's doing this because

201
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: he's m v P worthy. He's the most exciting player

202
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: next to Patrick Mahomes in the entire league right now.

203
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: And the Ravens are the team that found a way

204
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: to form an offense around him that has opponents totally beguiled.

205
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: The Bengals played this team not that long ago. They

206
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: appear to have learned literally nothing from that game, and

207
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: I almost can't aimed them because they just have no

208
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: way to stop what Lamar Jackson's doing. And it was

209
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: through the air too, And we mentioned this on our

210
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 1: sky hit that they used their tight ends Mark Andrews,

211
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: Nick Boyle, and Hayden Hurst from wire to wire and

212
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: it was a gronk like stat line between all three

213
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: of them twelve catches, a hundred and fifty one yards

214
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns. But they made it so clear to

215
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: Cincinnati right out of the gate, we are going to

216
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 1: attack you with these three guys. Figure out a way

217
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: to stop it. Cincinnati. We get that their punch list

218
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: could do literally nothing, and Cincinnati's rolling out. Ryan Finley

219
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: first start, to me, looked a little bit like an

220
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton esque type passer. He he wasn't bad or

221
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: good necessarily. I don't think it has any It makes

222
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,199
Speaker 1: me well, It makes no statement that Andy Dalton should

223
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: honestly be benched. I think Dalton could have done more

224
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: in this game, but he couldn't the Bengals just have

225
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 1: so many issues. They were so overwhelmed out of the gate,

226
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,599
Speaker 1: and it was just I honestly, it's one of the

227
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: first times I watched the Bengals and just literally felt

228
00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: bad for the entire franchise. When when we were talking

229
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: about Lamar Jackson entering this season, obviously the talk was,

230
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,439
Speaker 1: we know he's an most of athlete, but can he

231
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: become an effective passer? This is another performance where it's

232
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: like he is doing it all. Fifteen of seventeen for

233
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: two twenty three. He's averaging thirteen yards attempt in this game,

234
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: an attempt in this game, three touchdowns, no picks, a

235
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: perfect passer rating. Uh, he is to me right now,

236
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: you know now he's the m v P as. This

237
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: is such a great race this year because what he's

238
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: doing is just no one could stop him. He's unstoppable.

239
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: I totally agree, and and the reason he's in the

240
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: m v P races because I think he does more

241
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: than other quarterbacks, like as far as carrying the team.

242
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 1: The identity runs through him. Uh, nobody is like him.

243
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: He's just that special kind of guy. On the other hand,

244
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna judge Lamar Jackson's passing against the team

245
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,079
Speaker 1: like the Cincinnati Bengals, I just don't think it means anything.

246
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: That's sorry, real quickly, there is one pass in this

247
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: game where he throws a side arm Mahomes like throw.

248
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 1: He is developing as a passer absolutely, and I think

249
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: having Hollywood Brown healthy is huge. I don't think Jackson's

250
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 1: close to being where Russell Wilson is in the m

251
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: v P in terms of being consistent every week dominating,

252
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: but he's getting there if he keeps this up. In

253
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: the difference between him and VIC and We we said

254
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:14,839
Speaker 1: on this show, we I thought he was the best

255
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: running quarterback to enter the league. Since VIC, I think

256
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 1: he's one of the best runners in the NFL. That's

257
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 1: pretty obvious, even including the running back differences. VIC had

258
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 1: Greg Knapp and Dan Reeves trying to run offense for

259
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: for him. Well, they never built it around him, and

260
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 1: they've built this around Lamar Jackson, and he is bowling

261
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: is a joy. Points by the way, in three quarters

262
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 1: shut it down. They brought in r G three. They

263
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: could have put up a sixty burger if they wanted to. Yep,

264
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: and they had. They they're more their trade for Marcus

265
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: Peters is working very very well. He had a pick

266
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: six today that essentially set the game on fire. Early.

267
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 1: Good teams stay good. Bad teams stay bad. When you

268
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: see what's happening with Marcus Peters and the Ravens and

269
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: their selection and development of their quarterback, and with the

270
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,599
Speaker 1: Steelers have done with makea Fitzpatrick, which will get to

271
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,239
Speaker 1: you later when people doubted them at first. Good organizations

272
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: usually make good decisions in it, and you see it

273
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 1: bear out. When I left the Bengals in the nine nineties,

274
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:13,199
Speaker 1: it was for reasons like a stubbornness, a stubbornness to

275
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: haul your franchise into modern times and accept the reality

276
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: that this is how the NFL works, And their behavior

277
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: at the tread trade deadline reminded me of that, Just

278
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: a staunch refusal to admit that you need to unload

279
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: guys like Carlos Dunlap and A. J. Green and Andy

280
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: Dalton and get what you can for them because the

281
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: rest of your roster is not gonna be ready to

282
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: win anytime soon. All right, let's move on. In fact,

283
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: now it's time for the Road to Victory, presented by

Speaker 1: including MIKEE. Fitzpatrick's game icing interception late in the fourth

290

Speaker 1: lifting Pittsburgh to a seventeen twelve win over the Rams

291
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: in Hines Field. Total team effort here on the defensive

292
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: side of the ball, huge games t J. Watt, Joe Hayden,

293
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: but West let the takes touting. Mica Fitzpatrick is the

294
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: defensive player of the Year begin because he has been

295
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: a monster for them. This was a total team effort

296
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: on the decent defensive side of the ball. T J.

297
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: Watt and Bud Dupree bringing heat off the edge like

298
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: they have all year. Cameron Haywards shoving people into the passers,

299
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: taking double teams to allow those linebackers to make plays.

300
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: And then Joe Hayden and Micka Fitzpatrick in the secondary.

301
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: Hayden had five passes defense, at least three diving and

302
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: it was a joy to watch a player selling out

303
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: to that degree on every play make offense Patrick, you

304
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: see his instincts, and it's not often that you can

305
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: see a player's instincts on the field. You watch the film,

306
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: you know their tendencies, and then as the play starts,

307
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: you see that player starting to drift where it should

308
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: be and you eliminate more and more options. With every

309
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: split section second that comes, he eliminates those options and

310
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: is where he's supposed to be. As much as any

311
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: safety in the game, He's just always where the ball

312
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: is gonna be. And you see it. And in a

313
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: year without a defensive Player of the Year, when you're

314
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: getting a takeaway every week, I think you have to

315
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: be in the conversation sociuld t J. Watt, who had

316
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: a big, you know, force fumble late in this game.

317
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: It's funny. Every year of the tom An era, I

318
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: think it's the year that the defense is finally gonna

319
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: kind of step up and play to the level of

320
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: their talent and help them, you know, get to a

321
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: super Bowl. They were my super Bowl pick going into

322
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: this season, which you know, if they if they had

323
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: more of an offense. Who knows the fact that they've

324
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: turned this the ball over this many times on one level,

325
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: you can't expect it to continue forever, but it could

326
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: the whole season. It's a little like the Bears a

327
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,479
Speaker 1: year ago, but they have so many playmakers. Here's how

328
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: many times they've turned the ball over since week three

329
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: five two, three, three, four, three and today was another four.

330
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: That's how many they forced every week. That is outraged

331
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,679
Speaker 1: and waited d v o A, which factors in recent

332
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: play more than September play. They are right behind Patriots

333
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: and forty nine in defense. And speaking of awards of

334
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: awards crazy right now, but Mike Tomlin deserves to be

335
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 1: in this conversation now for Coach of the Year because

336
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 1: this is an O and three team left for dead.

337
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: They've now won five of six and West on Thursday,

338
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: you said that you were going to to look at

339
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph a little bit differently, not at least give

340
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,159
Speaker 1: him a chance to develop. And while he is, and

341
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: you look at the stat line and and they obviously

342
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,640
Speaker 1: didn't light it up with seventeen points, but maybe it's

343
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 1: okay where he is right now in the sense that

344
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: he's protected the ball today, he made enough plays and

345
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: then let the defense win the game that could work. Well,

346
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: let's change that seven team points to eight points because

347
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 1: he gave two back on a safety and the defense

348
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: scored seven. So the offense really wasn't good in the

349
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 1: Today was a day where the rest of the offense

350
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: was as bad as the quarterback. The receiver's dropped too

351
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: many passes, the running backs don't make anyone miss um

352
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: because James Conner is injured, of course, and Benny Snelly,

353
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: even the number two is injured. Rudolph also is like

354
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: one play away from disaster all the time, which is

355
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 1: why you see some of the play calling they do. Um,

356
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna cost him that they can't continue to get

357
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 1: this lucky, the best, the best um stick in his bag.

358
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 1: His number one play is back pedal away from pressure.

359
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: Throw as you're getting hit and pray that somehow it's

360
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: a defensive passl interference or your receiver catches. You're looking

361
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: for some Rudolf love. You didn't well, I've always said,

362
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: because I thought you said you were gonna try to

363
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: see the good at him, but you still don't see anything. Apparently,

364
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: what I'm saying is he wasn't so bad that he

365
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: had his defense over a Barrel, like the whole offense did,

366
00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: not just a quarterback. This I think was the most

367
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 1: discouraging game of the season for the Rams. I obviously

368
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 1: want to watch it closer. But if you're a fan

369
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 1: of the Rams and you're hoping that the bye week

370
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 1: could somehow help them figure out some things offensively, to

371
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: come back out and go one for fourteen on third down,

372
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 1: to get the ball so many times in this game

373
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: and Goff to throw two interceptions four turnovers total and

374
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 1: you score twelve points. Now you're looking at a Rams

375
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 1: team with the schedule that they have, and yeah, they've

376
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: got a pretty uphill climb to make the playoffs. I

377
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: struggled to believe in their fate this season, and it's

378
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 1: you know, you can't ask teams just to continue to

379
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: be the same thing. They've got a totally different situation

380
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: with Gurley and it running back, and I know he

381
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: wasn't a disaster today, but Jared Goff two picks, no touchdowns,

382
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: and you watched it. They ran into a buzz on defense.

383
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: But the Rams of of old would have found a

384
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: way to put up points and get around Pittsburgh today.

385
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 1: I totally agree with you. I mean they're one and

386
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: done in the playoffs. That they even get there, it's

387
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: it's incredib Well, Cooper Cup was shut out in this

388
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: game on four targets. We know Brandon Cooks is out

389
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: with a concussion. Like you said, we know what's going

390
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: on with the running backs. Uh, and also don't sleep

391
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 1: on again. Their offensive line is just not doing the

392
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: job anymore and got an injury during the game. They

393
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: lost their center during the game. So it just keeps

394
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: on getting worse for them on offense. And you just

395
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 1: wonder if this is something that doesn't get fixed until

396
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 1: the off season. They got fifth. They had fifteen drives today.

397
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: That's an outrageous number, which also shows how poor the

398
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: Steelers offense was. They basically got ten points fifteen drives

399
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: and almost none of them. You know, did they get

400
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 1: more multiple first downs? I mean, credit the Steelers defense

401
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 1: for sure, It's not like they'd get stopped that badly

402
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 1: unless they were playing a great defense. But that's outrageous that.

403
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 1: You know, Sam Farmer had a great line on Twitter.

404
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: You know, the Steelers brought back one of their old

405
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: Super Bowl teams and the Rams brought out their Super

406
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: Bowl offense today, Like the fifteen drives and a couple

407
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 1: of points to to put a point on how the

408
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: Steelers offense has played this year. They rank between the

409
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 1: Bengals and the Bears and dry success rate this year.

410
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: That's where they're at. The Mitch Robiskie Bears and the

411
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: windless Bengals is where their offense is. And there was

412
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: a two play sequence late in the game Mason Rudolph

413
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 1: made probably his best throw of the day, tight window

414
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 1: throw in the red zone to Juju, look like they're

415
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: gonna set up a field goal. The next play, he

416
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 1: keeps backpedaling and backpedaling and tries to hold himself from throwing.

417
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: At the last minute, is squeezes out of his hand.

418
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: He's lucky it's rolled in incomplete pass. Could have been

419
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: a fumble um and it might have lost the game

420
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 1: for him. So it's just you never know what you're

421
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 1: gonna get from down. I'll just say and I do not.

422
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,199
Speaker 1: I am not gonna be on Mason Rudolph corner. But

423
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,679
Speaker 1: on that same possession you're referring to, I believe he

424
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,640
Speaker 1: won six of seven. He took them into field goal range.

425
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 1: They cook the field goal, which is a big deal

426
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: because it made it a six point game or a

427
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: five point game. Uh So he is obviously not the

428
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 1: answer or the solution for them, but he's not throwing

429
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 1: the game away. He's got them in a sixth seed

430
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 1: right now. Now he doesn't know, but they are in

431
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 1: the sixth seed. Is is what I should say. I'm

432
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 1: glad you brought that up. Dan. To be fair to him,

433
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 1: it was his best, maybe his best excessive drive of

434
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 1: the day. As far as passing, he was passed as

435
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: he was hitting. But my point is he came within

436
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: a split second throwing the game away. So like he's

437
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 1: lucky he didn't throw the work. He's like a solid

438
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,640
Speaker 1: C minus bordering towards C. Are we do we need

439
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 1: him to be something? That's what you're giving him for

440
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: the year, Mason Rudolph C minus No. I think that's

441
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: that is way too I don't know. I mean, we

442
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: look back the Thursday tape of West opening his mind

443
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 1: to Mason Rudolf. His mind is closed. No, he can improve,

444
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: he has that ability. I would not point to today's

445
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: game as some like three yards of offense West, So

446
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 1: you're right, they're they're not doing it on offense. They're

447
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: doing it on d um and we'll talk about the

448
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: more as the week goes on. That was the road

449
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: to victory presented by the United States Marine four. Let's

450
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 1: move on. Here's the snap kid to McCaffrey. He's he

451
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:02,199
Speaker 1: drives forward and is he in? That's the question. The

452
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 1: officials are marquing No, they are saying no, he's not

453
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: in time? Is well town the Packers? A nice call

454
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: there by Wayne Larav turn this up in my headphones. Yeah,

455
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: I just always think of the Natives taking the girl

456
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: and tiring up for calm as a sacrifice. Yeah, I'll

457
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 1: say what I said last week. It just reminds me

458
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: of like low budget cop dramas. That ray that's going

459
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: back to the It's highly evocative. Why are we not

460
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: I only hear this for a minute each week? Why

461
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: am I not playing this on loop in my house?

462
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: Forget highly evocative, it's highly erotic. Okay, alright, Greg takes

463
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: it to a different direction. All right, let's get into

464
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: a Christian McCaffrey stuffed at the goal line, a crushing

465
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: into a marathon Panthers march that produced nothing in the

466
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: Packers four to sixteen win at snowy Lambeau Field. What

467
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 1: a vibe at Lambeau What a mood? As the kids say, Uh,

468
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: Kyle Allen, let turn this up in my saxophone. Now,

469
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: Greg's right, alright, anyway you can turn this down for now,

470
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 1: Kyle Allen lead the Panthers. Listen to this guy's eighteen

471
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 1: plays eighty eight yards on that final drive, but McCaffrey

472
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,199
Speaker 1: stopped in his tracks. A replay review confirms that he

473
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: did not make it to the goal line. So in

474
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 1: a game in which the Panthers out gained the Packers

475
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 1: and Aaron Rodgers was held without a touchdown pass, green

476
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: Bay still found a way good teams often do. I

477
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 1: was impressed by the secondary figures of the Packers offense,

478
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,880
Speaker 1: even though the numbers don't show it, Like Alan Lazard

479
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 1: made a great play, Jake Kumro made a great play.

480
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 1: I thought it was very telling that Rogers told Joe

481
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 1: Buck and Troy Aikman, those guys are gonna be playing

482
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 1: more down the stretch. And to me, that is at

483
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 1: the going to be at the expense of val This

484
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: Scantling and Geronimo Allison, because it has to be at

485
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: the expense of someone. And it was also echoed by

486
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 1: Matt Lafleur. They're on the same page. It wasn't an

487
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: amazing performance by you know, the Packers offense, but they

488
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 1: got the job done and they did run the ball

489
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: really well when they needed to in the second half,

490
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: which is big when it's snowy and you've got to

491
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 1: lead and you want to finish that game. App I

492
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,439
Speaker 1: thought that they ate up they ate up Carolina on

493
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: the ground in that second half. To say they were

494
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: powerful the way they ran the ball. I wanted Carolina

495
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: on that final immense drive that you mentioned, Dan to

496
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: target Christian McCaffrey Moore, And I know that it's not

497
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 1: the easiest thing because Kyle Allen was under duress and

498
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,360
Speaker 1: green Bay's green Bay. You know they've been quiet on defense.

499
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 1: They made it real tough on Kyle Allen, but they

500
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 1: were just there were too many lobs into the end

501
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: zone and flings downfield, where getting Christian McCaffrey open in

502
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 1: space at some point on that drive I think would

503
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:09,120
Speaker 1: have been effective. Came so close, so close, they got

504
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 1: to the one, and McCaffrey does what McCaffrey's does, which

505
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: he goes off for about a hundred and forty total

506
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown. And I thought with Kyle Allen,

507
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,479
Speaker 1: that was an interesting performance, and it was a it

508
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 1: was a Joe and and Troy game for Fox and Aikman.

509
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: At one point Greg said, and I think we both

510
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: kind of chalked out chuckle down because it was kind

511
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: of a strange thing to say, but it also made

512
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: sense that about midway through the fourth quarters, like, yeah,

513
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 1: other than those two turnovers, Kyle Allen's played a really

514
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,439
Speaker 1: good game. Well you can't really kind of take out

515
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 1: the turnovers and say he's had a good game, but

516
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 1: he really kind of did. He threw a bad interception

517
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 1: in the red zone that really killed him, as as

518
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: you could tell by the final score. He lost the fumble,

519
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 1: But otherwise he did a nice job in tough conditions

520
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: against the good team, especially when he last we mentioned

521
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: he wasn't getting protected. Well, I don't I don't quite

522
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: get the Allen. I don't knowough hates the right word.

523
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: But criticism and lack of belief that I hear, you know,

524
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: especially even from Panthers fan Josh Norris. So I like

525
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: a lot of Road World like they think it's first

526
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: read or nothing for him and I see a lot

527
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: of good throws for a guy who's only started six

528
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: or seven games. He's kept the offense very functional, even

529
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 1: in a game where they were down two scores. We

530
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: thought this game was over, and he gets them to

531
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 1: within a yard of going for the two and trying

532
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: to get into overtime. And it comes on a day

533
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: when Ian Rappaport noted this morning that it is highly

534
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 1: unlikely that the Panthers will keep Cam Newton and noted

535
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: the trade a trade is a most likely route to

536
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 1: eject or seat him out of the building. I'd say

537
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: fascinating offseason subplot. I mean, the newsroom is going to

538
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: go off when Cam Newton is traded. Here See, here's

539
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: the thing. I guess. I don't who is trading him,

540
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 1: because it was trading for him. Who is trading him

541
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 1: that works for the Panthers. Maybe it's the owner and

542
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 1: I and I'm not gonna you know guest sources. But

543
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: here's the thing. We don't know who the GM or

544
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 1: the coach is going to be next year. So unless

545
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: ownership has decided, which is very possible. I mean, these

546
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 1: things happen, but unless ownerships decided that they don't want Cam,

547
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,360
Speaker 1: How can we know unless well, or it's the more

548
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: it's the current people in power and that could change there.

549
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: And maybe maybe the expectation is, since they're playing so

550
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 1: well under Rivera and and Marty Herney has done a

551
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: pretty good job in his second time around, that this

552
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 1: group will be the team next year. Well, I think

553
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: it would be the owner, right, because yeah, I agree

554
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: that this is not the man who drafted Cam Newton.

555
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 1: There's not those type of deep ties. I think temper

556
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 1: this guy your own making court. The owner, he's the boss.

557
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: And if he's a guy that wants to put his

558
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: stamp on the team and he's ready to make a change,

559
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: and he feels like he won't be killed for it

560
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: because owners they go with a wind on that as well.

561
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: I could see him doing it. But let's slow down,

562
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: inspiring Ron Rivera. Right, Maybe that's the thing is that

563
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: they fully anticipate this will be the same group. Are

564
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 1: you going to say was considering the market in which

565
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: he plays and his status as a superstar and a

566
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 1: marquee attraction, a trade like that the owner, it would

567
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 1: start with the owner. Yep. Well, they have to get

568
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: approval on it. I mean you ideally don't want then

569
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: making decisions. We're ahead of the game here. He would

570
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: be eminently tradeable and I get it. Uh, I don't

571
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 1: know if they have. It's a great storyline in the

572
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: off season. We need these storylines. We we crave them.

573
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones, by the way, is on pace for what

574
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 1: the sneakiest twenty touchdown season we've ever seen. He's so

575
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: explosive that that's what I took away watching this game.

576
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: Even when they're not firing on all cylinders, you get

577
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: a forty eight yard you know, play to Jimmy Graham,

578
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: which was great coaching you you you out there. No,

579
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 1: I just it was a good It was a good

580
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 1: play called good execution. You get the thirty eight yard

581
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: played a Davante Adams when they were backed up against

582
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: their boal line and they're in the end zone three

583
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: plays later. Aaron Jones is obviously very exploded of this offense.

584
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 1: Even when they're not always getting first downs, they feel

585
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: like they're always an explosive play away like a great

586
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers throw. It happens three or four times a game.

587
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: When they talked about the fact that Aaron Jones had

588
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: a pot belly at some stage last year, and there

589
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 1: were questions about Aaron Rodgers to used him. And I

590
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: mean the running back position is the one where if

591
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: you go and spend four months changing your body, your

592
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 1: year is going to be completely different. And that's hounds looked.

593
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,239
Speaker 1: And I will say one thing, we all love these

594
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: snow games. That Packers crowd was one of the best

595
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 1: crowds all year, and they kept they kept noting how

596
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: loud they were, how immense, how braucous they made it,

597
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 1: and how tough they made it on the Panthers. That

598
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: was one of the more impressive touchdown drives we'll see

599
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 1: all year. They were backed up second and twenty one

600
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 1: with Rogers taking the snap and backing into the end

601
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 1: zone and the legitimately less than like five minutes of

602
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: real time they were in the opposite end zone. And

603
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: the other point I want to make is Aaron Jones,

604
00:30:56,080 --> 00:31:01,719
Speaker 1: as um West eludes too, he's on a tremendous touchdown pace.

605
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: He had three today, which I can guarantee you means

606
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,239
Speaker 1: he ain't touching, he ain't going near the goal line.

607
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 1: Because Aaron's gonna get his TV next week and the

608
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: week after that. Up cooked up narrative. Fantasy owners, beware

609
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones. He ain't getting the ball near the goal line,

610
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: play action for the win any other points? Why go

611
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: l anywhere else? All right, then let's uh move to

612
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: the NFC South or the We got one of the

613
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 1: biggest upsets of the season. In fact, I think the

614
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 1: Desert said this was the biggest upset of the season.

615
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: Riding back up in the pocket, Crows back side Hill,

616
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: open diving and storing in the pylon, and the Atlanta

617
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 1: touchdown for playing Hill the last guy in the package.

618
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 1: I haven't heard much from West Durham this year over

619
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 1: at the Falcon's radio network because Atlanta stinks, but not

620
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 1: On Sunday, Matt Ryan throws two touchdown passes and that

621
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 1: Falcons six game losing streak gets over win over the

622
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 1: Saints at the Superdome that ended the Saints is six

623
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: game winning streak. This is a bitter rivalry, and you

624
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,719
Speaker 1: just assumed that a Saints team that has you know,

625
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: Super Bowl written all over it potentially would just stop

626
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 1: on a downtrodden Falcons team. It just didn't work out

627
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: that way. West. It was the Falcons defense too, that

628
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 1: whipped up on a team Saints team that had Alvin

629
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: Kamara had drew brees. That didn't matter. How it was

630
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: interesting to see a big rivalry game like this, both

631
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: teams coming out of their bye week, and you would

632
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: have thought that the Falcons were the seven and one

633
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 1: team in the Saints were the one in seven team

634
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: for the first time all year. The Falcons. He had

635
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: a ball control keep away offense. I don't know where

636
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 1: they got it. I don't know where it came from.

637
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: I don't know where they got a DeVonta Freeman wasn't

638
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: really making people miss, but he was moving the chains

639
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: until he got injured. And then they went to Brian

640
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: Hill who moved the chains. Matt Ryan, playing on a

641
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: gimpy angle ankle a couple of times, moved the chains

642
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: on third down. Uh Marshawn Lattimore had a thigh injury.

643
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 1: Julio Jones didn't have a catch before that injury. He

644
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 1: went out, he went out, and then Julio kind of

645
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 1: went off for a while. Some for some big catches,

646
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: but this was a checklist of things that had to

647
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: happen for the Saints to lose. And roughing the punter penalty,

648
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 1: four illegal hands to the face penalties, which I've never

649
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 1: seen before. In one game four they were all legit.

650
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 1: Drew brees Is accuracy was off on easy throws. You

651
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 1: don't see that often. Alvin Camara a non factor behind

652
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 1: Latavious Murray um a much bigger advantage for Falcons on

653
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 1: third and fourth downs. Uh. They signed young Wake Coup

654
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: given Michael Vick's uniform number, and he drills four field goals.

655
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: Of course, here's the biggest story of the game though

656
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,080
Speaker 1: to me. The Falcons entered this game with seven in

657
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: sacks on the season from their defense. The Saints had

658
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 1: given up twelve sacks on the season, and the Falcons

659
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: got Brees for six sacks, which tied his career high

660
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 1: for most sex taken in a game. And Gregg pointed

661
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 1: out with our Sky Sports hit that Jeff Olbrick is

662
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 1: calling the plays now. I didn't put much stock into

663
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 1: it because every third game Dan Quinn gives up play calling,

664
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: it seems to me, so I don't even know when

665
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,799
Speaker 1: he's calling Apparently, Yeah, Albrek's done it before a little,

666
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: but now it's Yeah, it worked. What I mean, I

667
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: didn't watch closely enough to see if they were running

668
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 1: stunts or why the Saints couldn't all of a sudden block.

669
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: But Drew Brees isn't nearly as nimble in the pocket

670
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: as he used to be. He couldn't get out a

671
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: way of some pressure that he used to get out

672
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: of the way of. And the Saints just couldn't get

673
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: anything going, even even late in the fourth quarter when

674
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: you know they were just turning it over on downs

675
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: a couple of times in a row. So it is

676
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: a bad week or did you see some legitimate flaws

677
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,359
Speaker 1: here that there's something other teams can pick up. I've

678
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 1: been on this since late Thanksgiving of last year that

679
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 1: the Saints offense is just limited in and how for

680
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 1: where they can go down the field, how much of

681
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 1: the field they can use because of Breeze's arm. But

682
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 1: you also have a situation where if Alvid Camara isn't

683
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 1: uh and Trey Kwon Smith and Tech ginn are dropping passes,

684
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 1: who's who else is out there for your offense outside

685
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,800
Speaker 1: of Michael Thomas, which is why he has another great game,

686
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: becomes the quickest in history to four hundred receptions. But

687
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,319
Speaker 1: you know Jared Cook had a few nice catches. There

688
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,399
Speaker 1: were also a few borderline balls he might have caught

689
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: late in the fourth quarter that he didn't um. So

690
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: I think they're still looking for that, like third guy

691
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 1: to step up. Outside of Camara and Michael Thomas, there

692
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:37,320
Speaker 1: were light chance for Teddy. That's wild were the idiots

693
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 1: that are changing because I think it probably you know,

694
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: you know what, I just came up with a theory,

695
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 1: This is probably totally wrong, and then someone could prove

696
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:47,919
Speaker 1: it is. Maybe it was the Falcons fans they're doing

697
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 1: a little mocking at because there were there were there

698
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: was a little section of Falcons fans there. I noticed

699
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: at one point that they got quickly boot booted. And

700
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 1: it's such a cliche, like you throw the records out

701
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 1: when these two teams play, and I'm thinking, no, not really,

702
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 1: Like the Saints have been better to the last couple

703
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 1: of years and they've beaten the Falcons like a drum,

704
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 1: especially in New Orleans. But I don't know there's something

705
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 1: to it. I you're kind of happy for dan Quinn.

706
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 1: Falcons their team website, you know, not the most unbiased,

707
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 1: you know, group in the world that they said, they

708
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 1: said it's one of the great defining wins of the

709
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 1: Tan that dan Quinn era. And you know, in a

710
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: season where everything is this terrible, it does have to

711
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 1: feel great for the Falcons to be sending out these

712
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 1: little trolling tweets and they go and they put one

713
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 1: on the seven and one. Expectations have been recalibrated. In Atlanta,

714
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 1: they used to be there trying to win a Super Bowl.

715
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 1: Now they'll they'll settle for this right because it's defining.

716
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 1: Also because if the score were flip flopped in Atlanta,

717
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 1: we're going home down to nine. Dan Quinn may not

718
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: be working there a few days from now. I'd be

719
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 1: a little worried. You're absolutely right, and this should keep it,

720
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:57,399
Speaker 1: you know, going for the rest of the year. What's

721
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 1: the point of firing the mid season? Six sacks and

722
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: a team that doesn't throw the ball down the field

723
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,760
Speaker 1: is a troubling combo. He he was only sex seventeen

724
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:08,240
Speaker 1: times all of last season, and in the game against

725
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, their offense was great with Drew Brees back,

726
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 1: but he only threw I think two passes that traveled

727
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: more than ten yards in that game to West his

728
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: point and it was working. At some point they will

729
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: have to open it up a little bit. I don't

730
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 1: want to make this all on the Saints. Grady Jared,

731
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 1: who was legitimately in the run for an All Pro

732
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 1: in a year with Aaron Donald and clay As Campbell,

733
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 1: had another two and a half sacks and has been

734
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 1: phenomenal all year. Just to point out, and this is

735
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: my favorite example of pointing out the rivalry and the

736
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 1: the intense dislike between Falcons fans and Saints fans. After

737
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 1: three happened, uh Super Bowl one. Uh, A couple of

738
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 1: weeks later was Marty Gras and the people of New

739
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 1: Orleans created a twenty eight to three float to celebrate

740
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,479
Speaker 1: the loss of the rival, a game that had nothing

741
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 1: to do with the Saints, that that took place far

742
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 1: are away. Uh, they just they love reveling each other's misfortune.

743
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 1: Back they they flashed the big thing at the stadium

744
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: today in the fourth quarter when the when the Saints

745
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 1: were down a couple of touchdowns about twenty three, like

746
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 1: a video montage or something about it, And uh, you

747
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 1: know that's not gonna work with the Falcon's got young

748
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 1: Waiku wearing Michael Vick's number seven. COO put that seven

749
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 1: on and he said, I'm the baddest seven that's ever

750
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 1: played for the Falcons. He had three field goals. This

751
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 1: is the comeback player of the year. West put it

752
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 1: in your column. I like you. I'm happy you can't

753
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 1: ice the kicker when he's already got ice in his veins.

754
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 1: You know, let's shoot over to the fifty three to

755
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 1: tie waiting. Come to shap It's back, he's into it.

756
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 1: The kickers on the way. It doesn't look like it

757
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 1: has enough d No good, shove it che seconds look

758
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 1: to go. The Ploach sideline explodes, the stadium explodes. Doon

759
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 1: the color for the Browns have money on the other

760
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 1: team or something. He's like, oh no, not that I

761
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 1: know of. Are you breaking more news? Jim Donovan and

762
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: Doug Deacon with a cough of the Browns radio network.

763
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield he threw a seven yard touchdown past the

764
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 1: Richard Higgins with one to play, and then Bill's kicker,

765
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 1: Stephen Hashka, as you just heard, went wide left on

766
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 1: a long field goal attempt in the final seconds. The

767
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 1: Browns escaped nineteen sixteen, the win at the Dog Pound

768
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 1: mark that ends as Cleveland's four game losing streak, and

769
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,840
Speaker 1: thanks to that final Mayfield touchdown quiets the talk of

770
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 1: Cleveland's issues in the red zone. Well, I don't know

771
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 1: if it quiets that talk, because they were an absolute

772
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:42,840
Speaker 1: disaster and it would have been louder if it did

773
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 1: get It would be a lot louder. A win does

774
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 1: a lot, but they essentially at one point in the game,

775
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 1: in terms of their red zone issues, it was absolutely maddening.

776
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 1: They were nine They had nine goal to go plays

777
00:39:56,480 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 1: that resulted in zero yards. But getting down into the

778
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:02,240
Speaker 1: red zone, they looked better than they have in a while.

779
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 1: I thought Odell Beckham got going. Jarvis Landry, who is

780
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 1: a physical, tough receiver when he's on, played with a

781
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:13,440
Speaker 1: absolute fire inside of him. Today, I thought he really,

782
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 1: he really really wanted this game as much as I've

783
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 1: seen from anyone on the Browns all year. Nick Chubb

784
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 1: is an absolute bad man. I mean he the way

785
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 1: he runs he I I said it before and I'm

786
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 1: not trying to overstate it. There are moments where he

787
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,760
Speaker 1: has Jim Brown a look to him. He just runs

788
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 1: with that kind of emergency. But they got bottled up

789
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:35,280
Speaker 1: inside the ten and I thought I woke up thinking

790
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,800
Speaker 1: this thing was gonna be a Brown's win. Because they

791
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 1: confirmed this morning they changed the end zone stripes from

792
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 1: these energy stopping horizontal stripes to ones that are vertical,

793
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 1: and there was I've been on this case since the

794
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 1: beginning of the year, tweeting about it, annoying people relentlessly.

795
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 1: You might be the reason they changed it. Well, I

796
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 1: do think, I do think that there's there is. I

797
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:00,840
Speaker 1: do have it confirmed that people in side the building

798
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,360
Speaker 1: are very aware and listening as a lot of teams

799
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:06,839
Speaker 1: are and struggling teams to various things that are out there.

800
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,280
Speaker 1: And I think that they maybe did make a shift

801
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 1: here based on a lot of people asking agreeing that

802
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 1: the horizontal stripes just looked weird and shrunk the end zone.

803
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 1: The vertical stripes are kinetic. They just look right. Don't

804
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,839
Speaker 1: allow they allow a laying into the ends. It's it's

805
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 1: an energy thing. And I think, you know, the way

806
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 1: that they opened up the Browns today, I thought, this

807
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 1: is going to be the game where we're finally going

808
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 1: to see what we've been waiting to see. And you've played.

809
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: They played a great defense Buffalo and Buffalo and and

810
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,320
Speaker 1: they got bottled up. And I don't think it quiet's

811
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 1: really any concerns about what Cleveland overall, the way that

812
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 1: they approached game after game. Uh one uptick to have

813
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: cream Hunt in there. I was thinking, there's a world

814
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 1: where Cream Hunt has five touches for negative eight yards

815
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,840
Speaker 1: and it's a complete mess. He made a big difference,

816
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 1: and they decided not to start Antonio Callaway today. Part

817
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:56,880
Speaker 1: of that is because for Shard Higgins, who had the

818
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:59,760
Speaker 1: game winning touchdown, was active and someone that they wanted

819
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:01,840
Speaker 1: to get involved. I also think it's because of the

820
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:04,320
Speaker 1: way that Kareem Hunt was used out at wide receiver

821
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:07,839
Speaker 1: multiple times, a factor in the passing game, someone that's

822
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:09,319
Speaker 1: tough to cover if you're not going to put a

823
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:11,360
Speaker 1: cornerback on him. And he made a difference. He had

824
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 1: a couple of big blocks and some tough runs too.

825
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 1: He looked well, he looked ready to play. You know

826
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 1: that they absolutely did. He's the one whole thing, one

827
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 1: extra they have. They have Pittsburgh on Thursday. Here's where

828
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 1: they're at every week. Is you lose, you're out. You're

829
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 1: basically you're done. You're cooked three right, So you're cooked

830
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,319
Speaker 1: if you lose. So they went and they saved the

831
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:36,799
Speaker 1: day today their season against Buffalo and West and I

832
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 1: got our locks, as you knew we would. We were

833
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 1: not sure about point about the vertical stripes in the

834
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:45,720
Speaker 1: end zone. Why do you think I chose number eleven

835
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:48,359
Speaker 1: in basketball and fifth grade makes you look taller? There

836
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:52,319
Speaker 1: you go? Uh, there you go? So yes, not a

837
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:54,840
Speaker 1: not a high powered offensive showing on either side in

838
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 1: terms of yardage or anything. But the Bills um sixteen

839
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 1: points again, markt at looks like the same old issues

840
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:04,399
Speaker 1: on their end that their defense does a nice job,

841
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 1: and they got the goal line stands, and they they

842
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:09,400
Speaker 1: almost won the game outright at the end on a

843
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 1: near a turnover on a underhanded flip to Kareem Hunt

844
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:16,440
Speaker 1: that went sideways and that got brought back, which then

845
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 1: led to the go ahead Brown's touch on. So they

846
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 1: were close. But did you see the same issues that

847
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,800
Speaker 1: have kind of led people to be not so bullish

848
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 1: on the Bills in general. Yes, yes, because I like

849
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary a lot, but he's kind of gonna give

850
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:31,920
Speaker 1: you what he gave you today, which is forty two

851
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 1: yards on the ground attempts. Right, They never really got

852
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 1: into their flow either. It was it was low scoring

853
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 1: for a reason and looked that way, and you know

854
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 1: John Brown every week he does something every week. He

855
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 1: produces every week Cold Beasley produces. But you don't have

856
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 1: a superstar weapon here. They can take over the game.

857
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:53,839
Speaker 1: Josh Allen a couple scampers, very scary and like he's

858
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 1: he's going to do the same thing too. He is

859
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 1: going to kill you if you don't put someone on

860
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:01,279
Speaker 1: him in coverage. And he has got an incredibly strong arm.

861
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 1: But the accuracy is there too, to the point where

862
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I like Josh Allen in terms of his athleticism,

863
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 1: but they have a lot to think about in the

864
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:11,400
Speaker 1: off season because it would be tough for them to

865
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 1: shift gears. But I don't know what the ceiling is

866
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen. When we're this many games in and

867
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: the same issues exist. Well, they're putting it on him

868
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 1: almost like they want to see what his ceiling is.

869
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 1: They are extremely pass heavy, and they have been throughout

870
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 1: the year. You would not think that the Bills, who

871
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 1: have had a lot of leads are been in a

872
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:33,360
Speaker 1: lot of close games, would be a team that's really

873
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 1: relying on Josh Allen's arm. But I think a lot

874
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:37,879
Speaker 1: of teams did what the Browns did today. They try

875
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,320
Speaker 1: to stop the run. They're worried about Josh Allen running

876
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 1: and they dare Allan to beat him. And you have

877
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,319
Speaker 1: a lot of games like this week where Allan through

878
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 1: passes and for the most part that's you know, amounted

879
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:53,440
Speaker 1: to mediocre off of them. That that tells me that

880
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:56,759
Speaker 1: at this stage anyway, they still believe in him completely.

881
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:58,799
Speaker 1: In fact, they're waiting for him to make the leap.

882
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:01,240
Speaker 1: This isn't as him was trying to hide their quarterbook.

883
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:02,839
Speaker 1: I feel like that's when you're getting to the point

884
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 1: where the organization might be ready to look in a

885
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 1: different direction. I don't think they're there yet, but they're

886
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:10,880
Speaker 1: still It's like when you're bringing Blake Bordles on third day.

887
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:12,640
Speaker 1: They have seven games to play if he if he

888
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 1: regresses over the rest of the season, perhaps right now,

889
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 1: I still think they think he's not yet. It's not

890
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 1: it's not there yet. I would say that you cannot

891
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,319
Speaker 1: they They are doomed if if they are gonna have

892
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 1: kicker issues down the stretch, they're gonna have to win

893
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:27,360
Speaker 1: games by one to three points. And Steven how she

894
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:30,319
Speaker 1: missed a thirty four yarder along with that game winner. Well,

895
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:32,360
Speaker 1: the Bills are six and three, and I think the

896
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 1: Browns at three and six should have some playoff you know,

897
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 1: just dreams. They gotta win Thursday night, partly because right

898
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:42,239
Speaker 1: now the Steelers are in that six spot and if

899
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 1: the Bills are capable of collapsing entirely, you know, this

900
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 1: is you know, one of those years you certainly could

901
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 1: see a nine win team make the playoffs. There Who knows,

902
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:55,760
Speaker 1: the Raiders win on Thursday, and the Titans win, and

903
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:59,720
Speaker 1: the Browns beating the Bills, the Colts keep losing. It's

904
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,800
Speaker 1: fun to the a f C wildcard picture is wide open,

905
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 1: but I think we're all in agreement that the Browns

906
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 1: want to be taken seriously. They gotta win at home Thursdays, absolutely,

907
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 1: or it's over. We shall see. Let's move up pork

908
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 1: and seven. Trisco stepping up. Trisco steps out of a tackle,

909
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:21,359
Speaker 1: running left, fires into the end zone, passes incomplete, time expires,

910
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 1: but there is a flag pass hole. They snapped their

911
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 1: four game losing street clearly. Jeff, Johnny Back and Tom

912
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 1: There weren't watching the telecast because Jeff driscoll marched about

913
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 1: three and a half to four yards beyond the line

914
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:44,879
Speaker 1: of scrimmage before throwing that final incompletion is very clear

915
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 1: what that flag was gonna be. Anyway, Club dub is

916
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 1: back in business. Mr Robinsky tie to season high three

917
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 1: touchdown passes, all three of those scores coming in a

918
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 1: span of five passes UH late in the second quarter.

919
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 1: In early in the third quarter, the Bears with with

920
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 1: standy Lake charge by the Lions. They win twenty thirteen.

921
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:08,919
Speaker 1: The Bears do UH four game losing streak is over

922
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:13,360
Speaker 1: for Chicago. Mattnege can sleep better knowing as offense showed

923
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:16,239
Speaker 1: a bit of a spark in this one, at least

924
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 1: in that period that I'm referring to three possessions UH

925
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:23,759
Speaker 1: three touchdowns Before that, the four previous possessions were just

926
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:26,239
Speaker 1: as bad as it was last week when they had

927
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:29,960
Speaker 1: what wasn't seven yards in the first half of that loss.

928
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 1: This this time it was twenty one yards in the

929
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:37,799
Speaker 1: first four possessions UH, and Soldier field again restless and

930
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 1: believing that it was time to get Chase Daniel on

931
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 1: the field. Think about that in terms of darkness, UH.

932
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:48,239
Speaker 1: And then the game shifted on that last possession of

933
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 1: the first half, a a d R drive UH. Ten

934
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 1: plays and it ends with a really nice Travisky touchdown

935
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:59,319
Speaker 1: pass to the tight end. Uh, So that got them

936
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:01,360
Speaker 1: going and they were able to sustain that in the

937
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 1: third quarter, they kind of disappear again down the stretch

938
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 1: and the Lions UH with Jeff Driscoll starting in place

939
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 1: of Matt Stafford, who we learned this morning was scratched

940
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 1: with reportedly fractures in his back and injury that's been

941
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 1: lingering for a while for him, and we'll see if

942
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:19,440
Speaker 1: that's something that's gonna keep him out multiple weeks. But

943
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 1: driscoll uh didn't do much. He made a really nice

944
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:25,840
Speaker 1: touchdown pass, a forty seven yard touchdown pass in the

945
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:29,360
Speaker 1: fourth quarter to Kenny Golladay that got him back in

946
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:31,600
Speaker 1: the game. And then after a three and out by

947
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 1: the Bears, the Lions had a chance and they were

948
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:36,239
Speaker 1: marching down the field. They just ran out of time,

949
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:39,440
Speaker 1: as you heard on that highlight. So the Bears. I

950
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:41,720
Speaker 1: kind of wanted to see the Bears defense just step

951
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:44,040
Speaker 1: up and just make that game a laugher, and the

952
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:47,280
Speaker 1: opposite happened. The Lions had a chance to force overtime.

953
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 1: So it wasn't the great Chicago defensive effort you were

954
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 1: expecting certain against Jeff Driscoll of course as well, you're

955
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:57,880
Speaker 1: expecting the Bears to clean up. But I I locked

956
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:00,360
Speaker 1: up the Bears, uh. And it's five right for the

957
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:04,800
Speaker 1: old Zeuser after five losses to start the season. Because

958
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:07,240
Speaker 1: I don't think this is gonna be a nightmare season

959
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:08,799
Speaker 1: for them. I just think they kind of are what

960
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:11,319
Speaker 1: they are, which might be about seven wins, and they

961
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:13,280
Speaker 1: got one of them today. This is the worst possible

962
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:17,319
Speaker 1: win you can have. It's a pathetic offensive performance. No

963
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 1: bad wins. Greg twenty six yards against one of the

964
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:25,279
Speaker 1: worst defenses in the league. And then you think maybe

965
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:27,359
Speaker 1: you turn the corner and you go three and out

966
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:30,280
Speaker 1: and four your last five positions, and you're playing Jeff

967
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 1: Driscoll and you're playing an offensive line that lost two

968
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:35,319
Speaker 1: of its starters. There's an article on m live dot

969
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:37,760
Speaker 1: com that is just a list of the sixteen different

970
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:41,800
Speaker 1: Lions that were hurt uh in this game. So there's

971
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 1: no to me, this is not yeah, you move on

972
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 1: and maybe you get better a week from now. But

973
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 1: this they didn't show up. And if you have to believe,

974
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:50,880
Speaker 1: if Matthew Stafford is on the field and you're not

975
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:54,360
Speaker 1: running Paul Perkins and mckissic as your two running backs.

976
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:56,400
Speaker 1: At the end of the game, the Lions are a

977
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:58,919
Speaker 1: better team, right, That's what I'm saying there. There's nothing

978
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:01,000
Speaker 1: about this game that's screw teams. Oh they fix their

979
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:04,719
Speaker 1: problems or they're ready to make a rise um And

980
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:08,839
Speaker 1: if you want to the optimistic viewpoint is they kind

981
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:11,040
Speaker 1: of They got a little bit better last week in

982
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 1: the second half of two touchdown drives. They did have

983
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 1: three touchdown Uh well they had one was a short field,

984
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:19,640
Speaker 1: I believe, but they had one was twenty yards. They

985
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 1: had three scores. Uh that I know it doesn't sound great,

986
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:25,759
Speaker 1: but to understand how bad this offense has been for

987
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 1: large swaths of the season, there is a tiny bit

988
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:30,440
Speaker 1: of progress. If you want to see that because you're

989
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:34,640
Speaker 1: playing defense in the league, who's but But if you're

990
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:36,880
Speaker 1: just people staring at box scores made it looks a

991
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:39,120
Speaker 1: lot better for Mitchell Robinski than the reverse, which would

992
00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 1: be three picks. And I I if I'm a Lions fan,

993
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 1: you had a quarterback in Matthew Stafford this year that's

994
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 1: played as well as he's ever played in his career,

995
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:49,359
Speaker 1: and he's been a fascinating guy. Who get much more

996
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:51,279
Speaker 1: attention if he weren't stuck in Detroit in the middle

997
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 1: of nowhere in terms of football coverage, and well it is,

998
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:57,759
Speaker 1: I mean it's not. It's not one of the it's

999
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 1: not on the coast, the geographical hit piece for a second.

1000
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:03,480
Speaker 1: There's people would have been mad, but they're so banged up.

1001
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:06,640
Speaker 1: But like you think of Tony Romo, right, who had

1002
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:08,880
Speaker 1: a back injury at various times. You think of of

1003
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:11,319
Speaker 1: Derek Carr when he did. It's just I, I don't

1004
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:13,959
Speaker 1: know what what we have in Matthew Steff will fire

1005
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:15,879
Speaker 1: it out if it's serious at all. I mean, season over.

1006
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:18,960
Speaker 1: This Bears offense isn't gonna be fixed until Rabinsky's a

1007
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 1: running threat again. Last year he was fifth in rushing

1008
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 1: yards amongst quarterbacks. This year he's twenty two and until

1009
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 1: Tariko and is a big play threat again, which he

1010
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:29,840
Speaker 1: hasn't been all year. All right, let's move on. Here's

1011
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:32,240
Speaker 1: the foul. Maybe the final player of the game, dropping

1012
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:35,920
Speaker 1: back Murray under pressure, Murray, Murray throws them all up

1013
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:41,200
Speaker 1: for grabs down field. It is knocked away. No time left.

1014
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 1: Bock swim box, swim bowin Jeez Decker off Fox Radio Network.

1015
00:51:55,320 --> 00:52:00,160
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray's desperation heave was a prayer unanswered and to

1016
00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:04,479
Speaker 1: pass interference uncalled in my opinion, But that's beside the point.

1017
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 1: The Cardinals washed away by the ice water in the

1018
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 1: veins of Jamis Winston. Sunday at the large Pirate Ship,

1019
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:19,600
Speaker 1: Winston lad the Bucks on a six play, nine two

1020
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:23,480
Speaker 1: yard drive in the closing minutes, the decisive score in

1021
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:29,799
Speaker 1: a thirty seven win. Greg ice Water, No, I mean

1022
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:33,000
Speaker 1: he's good in the two minute drill. I'll give the

1023
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:34,640
Speaker 1: Bucks that. I think they're one of the better two

1024
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:36,520
Speaker 1: minute drill teams this week after week. They did it

1025
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:38,000
Speaker 1: before half time. They did it at the end of

1026
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:40,480
Speaker 1: the game. Maybe that's when Jamis Winston's not thinking and

1027
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:42,560
Speaker 1: they're just playing. They should try to do that the

1028
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 1: whole game because the rest of it he seemed very

1029
00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:47,200
Speaker 1: much in his own head. Had a couple of interceptions,

1030
00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:49,840
Speaker 1: could have had a couple more, some bad decisions, But

1031
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:53,799
Speaker 1: the Bucks are who they are. They're so consistent, they're

1032
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 1: so bad in the secondary, they're amazing stopping opposing running backs.

1033
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:03,360
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake and and David Johnson had I think twenty

1034
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 1: six touches in this game for fifty one yards twenty

1035
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:11,440
Speaker 1: two touches for fifty one yards in David Johnson fumbled

1036
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:14,440
Speaker 1: the ball on a key catch late in the game

1037
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:17,560
Speaker 1: that really helped Tampa put It was our first fumble

1038
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:20,960
Speaker 1: all year, right, and it's first since nineteen. Team went

1039
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:23,160
Speaker 1: nine games without a pun and and Kyler Murray had

1040
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:26,360
Speaker 1: his first interception in a long time. So the you know,

1041
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:28,440
Speaker 1: the the Bucks. You would have thought, oh, maybe they

1042
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:30,480
Speaker 1: win the turnover battle. Nope, they still lose it. They

1043
00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 1: turned it over three times. They are the same team

1044
00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 1: each and every week. They just sort of found a

1045
00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:36,319
Speaker 1: way to win this one. Remember when the Patriots had

1046
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 1: that long like streak of really extraordinary low fumbles and

1047
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:43,279
Speaker 1: everybody thought it was some kind of weird combination of

1048
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:46,480
Speaker 1: Belichick cheating and black magic. That was that was true,

1049
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:49,560
Speaker 1: though this is different difference. It's most luck. The Bucks

1050
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:52,480
Speaker 1: are the most like the perfectly situated three and six

1051
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:55,239
Speaker 1: team ever they should end their season because they're the

1052
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:58,520
Speaker 1: ultimate three and well they're fun. Ye we know who

1053
00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:01,440
Speaker 1: you are, that's we do. If they had a good defense,

1054
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:04,440
Speaker 1: like a legit good defense, they'd be winning some games.

1055
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:07,440
Speaker 1: Because as much as Winston gives it away and is

1056
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:10,480
Speaker 1: is a huge problem with the turnovers. They put up

1057
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 1: points and they put up yards. O. J. Howard has

1058
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:15,000
Speaker 1: been playing better lately. He had a big game which

1059
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:17,560
Speaker 1: helped turn it around. Ronald Jones as a starting running

1060
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:20,080
Speaker 1: back I thought made a difference last week. Didn't get

1061
00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:21,799
Speaker 1: it too much done on the ground today, but had

1062
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:25,040
Speaker 1: seventy seven yards receiving and eight catches. They were killing

1063
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:27,440
Speaker 1: him with screens. It's like this is it's a Bruce

1064
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:30,440
Speaker 1: Arians team through and through, Kyler Murray filling up the

1065
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:33,360
Speaker 1: box score again. How did he play? I thought he

1066
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:36,479
Speaker 1: missed a number of throws early, but overall you gotta

1067
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:39,200
Speaker 1: be excited. You hit Christen Kirk deep, couldn't get rid

1068
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 1: of the ball and that last draw right. I would say,

1069
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:43,960
Speaker 1: a very up and down game, but at least he

1070
00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:46,440
Speaker 1: made a lot of plays, uh to go along with

1071
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:51,520
Speaker 1: with the mistakes, although he did have the turnover. Yeah, yeah,

1072
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:53,200
Speaker 1: he's They're fun to watch. There are three six and

1073
00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:55,800
Speaker 1: one team too. They to me do not smell like

1074
00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:58,040
Speaker 1: a team that that should have been four or five

1075
00:54:58,080 --> 00:54:59,560
Speaker 1: and one. So I like it when teams just kind

1076
00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 1: of reached their appropriate level. Vernon hargrains benched for lack

1077
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:06,960
Speaker 1: of hustle. Never a good son. Never a good son.

1078
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 1: It takes a lot to unless you don't want to

1079
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:11,960
Speaker 1: conte there. It's a very good sign for him. You

1080
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:14,040
Speaker 1: ever touched Jameis Winston s Hanny ever shake his hand?

1081
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:17,920
Speaker 1: I've never met him Like pure ice. The man fears

1082
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 1: nothing but gunways. Coo COO's feet or two. Let's move on.

1083
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:26,239
Speaker 1: That's Patrick back to throw, get the pressure again, rolls

1084
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:29,360
Speaker 1: to his right. Fix is the Royal kicks the fun

1085
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:34,959
Speaker 1: hold right, Ryan said, Patrick fake pumped in and took

1086
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:38,759
Speaker 1: off you I'm going to the corner a touchdown. The

1087
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:44,160
Speaker 1: last thing that defense was worried about was thirty six

1088
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:48,640
Speaker 1: year old quarterback running the football. You know, when you

1089
00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 1: get older than thirty six and announced to say it's up,

1090
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:52,840
Speaker 1: you start to feel bad about yourself because it's like,

1091
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:56,319
Speaker 1: it's not that crazy that he ran eleven yards. He's

1092
00:55:56,320 --> 00:55:58,960
Speaker 1: a thirty six year old professional athlete. It's like the

1093
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:04,239
Speaker 1: the idea that you Jimmy Sepalo, Bob Greasy and Joe

1094
00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:07,120
Speaker 1: Rose with the cough of the Dolphins radio network. Yeah,

1095
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:09,600
Speaker 1: if it's magic eleven yard touchdown run in the first

1096
00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:12,120
Speaker 1: half and then the Dolphins make a late stop with

1097
00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:14,800
Speaker 1: the help of a costly mental error from Eric Ebron

1098
00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:19,839
Speaker 1: that preserves a win over the Colts. That's two straight

1099
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:22,719
Speaker 1: wins for the Dolphins, who have put that historically in

1100
00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:25,960
Speaker 1: apt first two months in the rear view draft positioning

1101
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:29,400
Speaker 1: be damned, Mark how they win an Indy today. I

1102
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 1: think they're really well coached. I mean, for the lack

1103
00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:34,600
Speaker 1: of assets on both sides, for both lines being what

1104
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:38,320
Speaker 1: they are, I think they're the least penalized team in

1105
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:40,319
Speaker 1: the entire NFL right now. And that has a lot

1106
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:43,480
Speaker 1: to do with Brian Flores and he you know what,

1107
00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:46,520
Speaker 1: forget the whole organic tank business. They were fired up

1108
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:49,160
Speaker 1: on the sideline. And this is a Colts team that

1109
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:52,600
Speaker 1: rode through the first seven games of the year with

1110
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:55,960
Speaker 1: seven turnovers, and that's how they want, I think, partly

1111
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:59,080
Speaker 1: because they were a mistake free operation. They've had six

1112
00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:01,360
Speaker 1: in the last two weeks. And you got the every

1113
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:04,200
Speaker 1: other Brian Hoyer game where he played really well last week.

1114
00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:07,800
Speaker 1: Today he was a turnover machine. They just don't have

1115
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:10,680
Speaker 1: enough around him to make up for the mistakes. And

1116
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:15,320
Speaker 1: in Miami watching them today, I I understand that the

1117
00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:17,800
Speaker 1: the whole point here is to try to get the

1118
00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:20,479
Speaker 1: first overall pick. They're gonna win three or four games,

1119
00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:23,160
Speaker 1: they've already got to and they've got the Bengals on

1120
00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:25,120
Speaker 1: their schedule later in the year, they've got the Jets

1121
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:27,480
Speaker 1: and Giants. They could win one of those two four

1122
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:30,400
Speaker 1: and twelve. That's the thing that people that aren't really

1123
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:33,760
Speaker 1: you know, watching the Dolphins, they've been conflating this whole

1124
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:36,400
Speaker 1: time that the Dolphins aren't trying to win. The team's

1125
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:39,400
Speaker 1: trying to win. It's the management that set them up. Now,

1126
00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:42,360
Speaker 1: it was more a major league type thing, uh the

1127
00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:44,920
Speaker 1: movie than an actual situation where the whole team was

1128
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:47,360
Speaker 1: in the tank. And you've seen it week after week

1129
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:49,800
Speaker 1: that they were getting better. And yeah, I think it

1130
00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:51,920
Speaker 1: is a credit to Floors because if you think about it,

1131
00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:55,320
Speaker 1: that was the worst start of any team in NFL history.

1132
00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:56,959
Speaker 1: Now you can also say that's kind of on Brian

1133
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:58,400
Speaker 1: Floors too if you want, if you want to be

1134
00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:00,480
Speaker 1: that guy, but the fact that he was able to

1135
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:03,360
Speaker 1: get them out of that bleak place where they were

1136
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:05,680
Speaker 1: the joke and the laughing stock of the league, and

1137
00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:09,880
Speaker 1: everyone with their very somber takes about how the Dolphins were.

1138
00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:11,760
Speaker 1: You know, a disgrace for what they were doing and

1139
00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:13,720
Speaker 1: all that stuff. He just kept on trying to get

1140
00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:16,400
Speaker 1: this team competitive and now they're winning. Isn't this near

1141
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:18,520
Speaker 1: the top of the reasons why your front office should

1142
00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:21,080
Speaker 1: not tank because you're coaching players are not going to

1143
00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:23,200
Speaker 1: be on board with your plan. Well, why, yeah, why

1144
00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:24,800
Speaker 1: would they? I mean, they didn't look like a team

1145
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 1: tanking when they stuffed the Cults twenty seven yards rushing

1146
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:30,200
Speaker 1: for Indianapolis in the first half. One of the best

1147
00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:33,400
Speaker 1: offensive lines in football in Miami completely bottled them up

1148
00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:36,640
Speaker 1: and it was an impressive last week. As a Jets fan,

1149
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:38,959
Speaker 1: I'm reading all the post mortems and there is talk

1150
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:41,880
Speaker 1: is this the worst Jets loss of all times? Like, no,

1151
00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:45,600
Speaker 1: because the Dolphins have been competitive for weeks now, they

1152
00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:47,560
Speaker 1: were gonna get a win, and now they got two

1153
00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:49,520
Speaker 1: wins and his mark saying they're probably gonna get three

1154
00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:52,479
Speaker 1: and four and potentially be out of the top five.

1155
00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:54,800
Speaker 1: And perhaps there are Dolphins fans that are upset about that,

1156
00:58:55,080 --> 00:58:57,800
Speaker 1: And I get that too, because, um, when you're trying

1157
00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:00,360
Speaker 1: to get a young franchise quarterback something times, you just

1158
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:02,600
Speaker 1: want things to work out your way. And maybe Greg,

1159
00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:05,080
Speaker 1: they still have enough assets even if they go for

1160
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:08,000
Speaker 1: and twelve or three and thirteen that they could make

1161
00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:10,280
Speaker 1: them trade up the board. So it's not the end.

1162
00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:12,280
Speaker 1: Even if they don't end. It's even right now they're

1163
00:59:12,280 --> 00:59:14,560
Speaker 1: only in the fourth spot with two wins, then too

1164
00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:16,520
Speaker 1: far down they can not get the number one pick

1165
00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:18,400
Speaker 1: and still get the guy they want potentially. Can we

1166
00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:20,360
Speaker 1: just point out that this Colts team is not like

1167
00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:22,400
Speaker 1: the five and three Colts team that the record said

1168
00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:25,240
Speaker 1: they was. They were playing without their starting quarterback, uh two,

1169
00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:28,200
Speaker 1: three of their top four wide receivers, right, I mean,

1170
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:31,240
Speaker 1: that's the thing. The expectations have changed so much in Indianapolis.

1171
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:34,680
Speaker 1: They're saying the same things about how embarrassing this losses

1172
00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:37,280
Speaker 1: and what a travesty. It kind of shows how high

1173
00:59:37,560 --> 00:59:40,800
Speaker 1: the expectations are that Reich has made so quickly that

1174
00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:43,480
Speaker 1: a team led by Brian Hoyer or the number one

1175
00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:47,000
Speaker 1: wide receiver Zach Pascal is fully expected to win. And

1176
00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:49,920
Speaker 1: it is a bad loss, but it they've been playing

1177
00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:54,280
Speaker 1: with very slim margins and their offensive line is overrated.

1178
00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:56,960
Speaker 1: Based on how they've played the last three or four weeks,

1179
00:59:57,000 --> 00:59:59,600
Speaker 1: they just haven't made a big difference. I watched I

1180
00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:02,200
Speaker 1: try to watch that game closely. We go they're not putting,

1181
01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:05,480
Speaker 1: they weren't pushing the other team around on the offensive line,

1182
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:09,200
Speaker 1: and the Dolphins are playing much tougher defensively, because if

1183
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:12,160
Speaker 1: you're getting any pressure on Hoyer and you're stopping the

1184
01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:16,000
Speaker 1: run fairly well, then this is not a team the

1185
01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 1: Colts that is where they're dominating on the offensive line anymore.

1186
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:20,840
Speaker 1: I do wish we could have gotten a full season

1187
01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:24,080
Speaker 1: from Darius Leonard. He was awesome today, thirteen tackles, had

1188
01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:27,760
Speaker 1: a massive sack of Ryan Fitzpatrick on third down, had

1189
01:00:27,800 --> 01:00:30,840
Speaker 1: an interception, And the cults though, also they you know

1190
01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:33,840
Speaker 1: that you're right the which Brissette had three interceptions through

1191
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:36,720
Speaker 1: his entire run teams change. Oh, and coaching matters, like

1192
01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:38,960
Speaker 1: if Brian Floor is a good coach, I'd rather see

1193
01:00:39,040 --> 01:00:41,960
Speaker 1: that as a Dolphins fan, uh than see a bunch

1194
01:00:41,960 --> 01:00:43,640
Speaker 1: of losses. I think I feel like this is one

1195
01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:47,320
Speaker 1: of the defining moments of Fitzpatrick's career, like a thing

1196
01:00:47,400 --> 01:00:51,920
Speaker 1: that you'll remember. It's awesome. I think his his leadership

1197
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:54,080
Speaker 1: and spirit for lack of a better word, not that

1198
01:00:54,160 --> 01:00:56,720
Speaker 1: he played like lights out today, but that's a tough

1199
01:00:56,800 --> 01:01:00,480
Speaker 1: spot and I don't think there's many quarterbacks that could

1200
01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:02,720
Speaker 1: have come in and kind of had the intensity and

1201
01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:05,320
Speaker 1: way to build this team out. His beard, by the way,

1202
01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:08,720
Speaker 1: is now at an insane level. Like I get it.

1203
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:11,080
Speaker 1: It was big and bushy for a long time, but

1204
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:14,240
Speaker 1: it is. It looks like that lives in the Harvard

1205
01:01:14,360 --> 01:01:17,160
Speaker 1: Library and like no one ever went and got absolutely

1206
01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:19,560
Speaker 1: he just lives his entire life there. Um. And I

1207
01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:21,800
Speaker 1: should add a little context before we move on. Eric

1208
01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 1: Ebron on a fourth and ten with a game on

1209
01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:29,200
Speaker 1: the line, ran a nine yard route, was stopped like

1210
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:31,120
Speaker 1: eight and a half yard route. It wasn't even close.

1211
01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:33,360
Speaker 1: They didn't even have to take out the sticks, and

1212
01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:36,040
Speaker 1: everybody just kind of was like Brian Flores ran down

1213
01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:37,720
Speaker 1: the sideline and he was pumped up, but everybody else

1214
01:01:37,840 --> 01:01:39,520
Speaker 1: just like, oh, I guess we just won the game

1215
01:01:39,560 --> 01:01:42,640
Speaker 1: because this dude didn't run a ten yard route with

1216
01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:44,800
Speaker 1: the game on the line needing ten yards. Okay, we'll

1217
01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:46,760
Speaker 1: take it just a little more context. They wouldn't have

1218
01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:49,240
Speaker 1: been in that situation if Adam Vinitary hadn't missed a

1219
01:01:49,320 --> 01:01:51,960
Speaker 1: killer point P A T. I mean, just every week

1220
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:55,480
Speaker 1: you're getting something new. I talked about this last week.

1221
01:01:55,680 --> 01:01:58,480
Speaker 1: You gotta make the move. I gotta make the move.

1222
01:01:58,560 --> 01:02:01,120
Speaker 1: You already been Coop be a playoff team if you

1223
01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:04,200
Speaker 1: had Coup. Can't pick up the phone call Kai. What

1224
01:02:04,520 --> 01:02:06,640
Speaker 1: I gotta do. The book on Kai must not be

1225
01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:10,760
Speaker 1: a good read at this point. To be honest. Let's

1226
01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:12,880
Speaker 1: move on to the most important game of week ten.

1227
01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:15,960
Speaker 1: Jones back to throw under some pressure. He'll be hit.

1228
01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:19,080
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams takes the ball away. He's gonna run right

1229
01:02:19,080 --> 01:02:22,560
Speaker 1: in store. Jamal Adams in the five, He's gonna be

1230
01:02:22,560 --> 01:02:27,320
Speaker 1: the end zone for a touchdown. Jamal Adams on Uplitz

1231
01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:32,600
Speaker 1: simply sees the ball away from Daniel Jones and runs

1232
01:02:32,680 --> 01:02:36,960
Speaker 1: it back for a Jet defensive touchdown. Haven't heard much

1233
01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:40,840
Speaker 1: from Bob was shusan over on the Jets radio network

1234
01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:44,320
Speaker 1: on this program, but we hear it there. The Jets

1235
01:02:44,360 --> 01:02:47,640
Speaker 1: twitter feed called it a gimme six. Jamal Adams muscle

1236
01:02:47,720 --> 01:02:50,400
Speaker 1: pass se Kwan Barkley. Then the rip ripped the ball

1237
01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:52,480
Speaker 1: out of the hands of Daniel Jones took it to

1238
01:02:52,560 --> 01:02:55,680
Speaker 1: the house for the Jets, who leaned on their star

1239
01:02:55,800 --> 01:03:00,320
Speaker 1: safety and seven win over the Giants in a big, dumb,

1240
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:04,240
Speaker 1: stupid fun football game between two bad teams. How's this

1241
01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:07,520
Speaker 1: for a stat line? Uh from the Presidents as he

1242
01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:12,240
Speaker 1: calls himself. Eight tackles uh, two sacks, two force fumbles,

1243
01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:16,400
Speaker 1: one fumble recovery, a touchdown, and a crucial fourth down

1244
01:03:16,520 --> 01:03:20,000
Speaker 1: stop on a Daniel Jones QB speak in the fourth quarter.

1245
01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:23,240
Speaker 1: It was the best game of his career and a

1246
01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:27,040
Speaker 1: stark reminder that one of the chiefs of the Jets

1247
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:29,600
Speaker 1: chief priorities going forward, and they have a lot of

1248
01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:33,200
Speaker 1: work to do to build this organization into um a

1249
01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:36,920
Speaker 1: contender again. But to see if you can repair this relationship.

1250
01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:38,919
Speaker 1: And I know they're in the news this past week

1251
01:03:39,240 --> 01:03:41,480
Speaker 1: that he finally met with the GM and the coach

1252
01:03:41,560 --> 01:03:44,720
Speaker 1: and you know they smooth things over. But who knows

1253
01:03:44,760 --> 01:03:46,520
Speaker 1: if that's actually true. It might be just something to

1254
01:03:46,600 --> 01:03:49,040
Speaker 1: make the story go away. They what they should do

1255
01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:51,320
Speaker 1: is in the offseason, make them the highest paid safety

1256
01:03:51,360 --> 01:03:53,560
Speaker 1: in the league, because, as we saw in this game,

1257
01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:57,240
Speaker 1: his ceiling is higher than anybody. There are starting safeties

1258
01:03:57,240 --> 01:04:00,320
Speaker 1: who will go the full sixteen game schedule and not

1259
01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:05,320
Speaker 1: have that many game changing plays the entire season. That's outrageous.

1260
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:08,160
Speaker 1: It was an important win for the Jets, who also

1261
01:04:08,280 --> 01:04:11,000
Speaker 1: got Sam Donald back on track a little bit. Uh

1262
01:04:11,080 --> 01:04:13,320
Speaker 1: for the third straight week. He went right down the

1263
01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:16,200
Speaker 1: field on the first possession scored a touchdown. The difference

1264
01:04:16,280 --> 01:04:19,480
Speaker 1: this time he scored another touchdown the next possession. They

1265
01:04:19,520 --> 01:04:21,960
Speaker 1: go ice cold again for most of the uh second

1266
01:04:22,040 --> 01:04:24,080
Speaker 1: quarter into the third quarter, and that's when Adams had

1267
01:04:24,120 --> 01:04:26,720
Speaker 1: his big touchdown which kind of studied the ship for

1268
01:04:26,840 --> 01:04:29,800
Speaker 1: New York. Uh. So the Jets overcome actually a second

1269
01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:33,160
Speaker 1: half deficit. Uh it was progress and no turnovers for

1270
01:04:33,320 --> 01:04:37,600
Speaker 1: Donald and on. So Adam Gaze, whose QB whisper reputation

1271
01:04:37,760 --> 01:04:41,040
Speaker 1: is in tatters, he needs to he needs to uh

1272
01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:43,960
Speaker 1: stack some performances like this from his quarterback to have

1273
01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:46,680
Speaker 1: a chance to stick around. And on the other sideline,

1274
01:04:46,680 --> 01:04:49,560
Speaker 1: I would think that Pat Shermer is getting close to

1275
01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:53,560
Speaker 1: needing a Hail Mary because, um, the Giants. You know

1276
01:04:53,680 --> 01:04:56,280
Speaker 1: this again, this is an organization that's a proud organization

1277
01:04:56,320 --> 01:04:58,480
Speaker 1: that's had a lot of success and they've been bad

1278
01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:01,040
Speaker 1: for a while now and they were just dreadful in

1279
01:05:01,080 --> 01:05:03,240
Speaker 1: this game. I mean they're now two and eight, they've

1280
01:05:03,280 --> 01:05:06,240
Speaker 1: lost six in a row. And when Daniel Jones, who

1281
01:05:06,280 --> 01:05:09,000
Speaker 1: again is a very promising young quarterback, when he throws

1282
01:05:09,040 --> 01:05:13,680
Speaker 1: with three hundred yards and four touchdowns um and passed

1283
01:05:13,720 --> 01:05:16,240
Speaker 1: a post A passer rating north of one twenty. And

1284
01:05:16,360 --> 01:05:19,560
Speaker 1: you still can't beat the Jets. Uh. It just shows

1285
01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:23,360
Speaker 1: the glaring deficiencies around you on your roster. I found

1286
01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:25,640
Speaker 1: an answer to a question that I didn't know I had,

1287
01:05:25,720 --> 01:05:28,480
Speaker 1: but now I have. How many rushes do you need

1288
01:05:29,520 --> 01:05:31,960
Speaker 1: to have an average of zero point one yards per

1289
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:35,400
Speaker 1: carro What is the answer? Thirteen carreys per sit Kwon

1290
01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:38,520
Speaker 1: Barkley zero point one yards per carry because he managed

1291
01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:41,600
Speaker 1: one yard right, yeah, Tom Rock from News they broke

1292
01:05:41,640 --> 01:05:43,880
Speaker 1: it down well. He averaged two point seven five inches

1293
01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:46,920
Speaker 1: per carry. Yeah, and that is you know, that's obviously

1294
01:05:47,040 --> 01:05:49,000
Speaker 1: credit to the Jets run defense, which just been good

1295
01:05:49,040 --> 01:05:51,560
Speaker 1: all year. But also I don't know if se Kwan

1296
01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:55,520
Speaker 1: Barkley is all the way back from that high ankle sprain. Uh.

1297
01:05:55,640 --> 01:05:57,680
Speaker 1: He has. He's had a couple of flashes since he's

1298
01:05:57,720 --> 01:05:59,920
Speaker 1: been back, but he certainly hasn't been the same guy.

1299
01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:03,200
Speaker 1: So they couldn't run the ball and their defense had

1300
01:06:03,240 --> 01:06:07,240
Speaker 1: too many lapses, and uh, yeah, I just wonder if

1301
01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:09,720
Speaker 1: Shermer is gonna make it well. Then they mentioned that

1302
01:06:09,840 --> 01:06:14,360
Speaker 1: John Mara was Giants owner was absolutely steamed after the game,

1303
01:06:14,600 --> 01:06:17,600
Speaker 1: making eye contact with no one while answering a few questions.

1304
01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:20,400
Speaker 1: I do wonder about what's going on. I know levy

1305
01:06:20,440 --> 01:06:23,680
Speaker 1: on Bell is not fully healthy either, but his box

1306
01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:25,840
Speaker 1: score is troubling as well, and I feel like it's

1307
01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:28,080
Speaker 1: just sort of week after week waiting for that one.

1308
01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:30,800
Speaker 1: Levy on Bell gates under an eighty yards and he's

1309
01:06:30,880 --> 01:06:33,000
Speaker 1: never getting it. The average less than two yards to carry.

1310
01:06:33,040 --> 01:06:34,960
Speaker 1: They have a terrible offensive line, but I don't think

1311
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:37,240
Speaker 1: he's moving as well. And I know he was very

1312
01:06:37,280 --> 01:06:39,760
Speaker 1: banged up going into this week, if that played a role,

1313
01:06:39,800 --> 01:06:41,680
Speaker 1: but there were a couple of times it doesn't happen

1314
01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:43,840
Speaker 1: often with his offense, but where he got the ball

1315
01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:45,520
Speaker 1: with a little bit of space and he didn't seem

1316
01:06:45,600 --> 01:06:48,480
Speaker 1: to have uh the juice. Um. So yeah, that is

1317
01:06:48,560 --> 01:06:51,600
Speaker 1: something worth tracking for the Jets. But very strange game

1318
01:06:51,680 --> 01:06:54,440
Speaker 1: that neither team top first of all jones through for

1319
01:06:54,560 --> 01:06:56,680
Speaker 1: three d and four yards and the Giants didn't. In

1320
01:06:56,920 --> 01:06:59,640
Speaker 1: the Giants gained less than three hundred yards. They also

1321
01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:03,360
Speaker 1: don't that too. He was sax six times for fifty

1322
01:07:03,440 --> 01:07:05,920
Speaker 1: yards and then and then the Jets didn't Game three

1323
01:07:05,960 --> 01:07:09,640
Speaker 1: hundred yards either in a game they scored um thirty

1324
01:07:09,680 --> 01:07:12,120
Speaker 1: four points, four points and scored four touchdowns. And someone

1325
01:07:12,360 --> 01:07:16,640
Speaker 1: had a great stat of the Giants record since O'Dell

1326
01:07:16,760 --> 01:07:19,600
Speaker 1: and and everyone on the boat took the picture. Remember

1327
01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:22,120
Speaker 1: that the boat pure ten and thirty two. Since that

1328
01:07:22,320 --> 01:07:24,480
Speaker 1: that picture was, that's better than I would have expect

1329
01:07:24,560 --> 01:07:26,800
Speaker 1: that in thirty Teams don't do well on these boat trips.

1330
01:07:27,440 --> 01:07:30,160
Speaker 1: We know that from the Vikings and others. Yeah, some

1331
01:07:30,280 --> 01:07:34,880
Speaker 1: trips go worse than others. Um um. And finally before

1332
01:07:34,960 --> 01:07:37,480
Speaker 1: we move on, um, you know, we haven't had many

1333
01:07:37,520 --> 01:07:39,520
Speaker 1: opportunities to have my dad on to share his thoughts

1334
01:07:39,520 --> 01:07:43,080
Speaker 1: about figure, you know, coming off a dub wearing club

1335
01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:46,360
Speaker 1: dub in the Mettlelands. So it's here from Keith Hansas.

1336
01:07:48,520 --> 01:07:54,000
Speaker 1: His name was Keith, you don't doubt about it. He's

1337
01:07:54,040 --> 01:08:05,800
Speaker 1: a big fan. Well he games. Great comeback win by

1338
01:08:05,840 --> 01:08:09,479
Speaker 1: the Jets today. Jamal Adams was the start of the game.

1339
01:08:10,480 --> 01:08:14,840
Speaker 1: That strip was simply outrageous. Uh that he that he

1340
01:08:14,920 --> 01:08:19,040
Speaker 1: got put a touchdown. The Jets uh kept the penalties down.

1341
01:08:19,080 --> 01:08:20,640
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, second and a half they

1342
01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:24,800
Speaker 1: only had one penalty which was huge for them. Uh.

1343
01:08:24,920 --> 01:08:27,760
Speaker 1: They stopped to run. Barkley is not an easy guy

1344
01:08:27,840 --> 01:08:30,960
Speaker 1: to stop, and they stuffed him all day. Donald was

1345
01:08:31,080 --> 01:08:33,800
Speaker 1: clean this week, which was big. The p I with

1346
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:38,240
Speaker 1: Anderson was huge, down to stretch and uh, like I said,

1347
01:08:38,360 --> 01:08:42,559
Speaker 1: no turnovers, team win, total team win by the Jets

1348
01:08:44,240 --> 01:08:46,840
Speaker 1: onto next week. There you go. It's good to hear

1349
01:08:46,960 --> 01:08:49,680
Speaker 1: Dad happy. I appreciate that you have haven't forced him

1350
01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:52,000
Speaker 1: to come on during all these losses. That's it's nice

1351
01:08:52,040 --> 01:08:53,680
Speaker 1: of you. Did you catch that in the background? What

1352
01:08:53,960 --> 01:08:56,280
Speaker 1: was it the William Tell overture? That's the Lone Ranger

1353
01:08:57,600 --> 01:09:02,120
Speaker 1: your dad. Listen. Maybe they're a big w Keith and

1354
01:09:02,200 --> 01:09:04,760
Speaker 1: dev They just settle into their recliners. They're retired now

1355
01:09:05,240 --> 01:09:07,360
Speaker 1: and they check out. What's that channel that has all

1356
01:09:07,360 --> 01:09:10,160
Speaker 1: the old shows? Me TV? That's that's a big baby

1357
01:09:10,200 --> 01:09:13,080
Speaker 1: boomer boomer channel. So maybe maybe they're checking out some

1358
01:09:13,160 --> 01:09:15,519
Speaker 1: me TV in a big spot. Yeah. When Heath loves

1359
01:09:15,560 --> 01:09:17,840
Speaker 1: a little Leave It to Beaver, he loves Perry Mason,

1360
01:09:18,280 --> 01:09:21,400
Speaker 1: he likes some of those older shows. Maybe Lone Ranger

1361
01:09:21,479 --> 01:09:23,960
Speaker 1: is not one that I've noticed on his menu in

1362
01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:25,880
Speaker 1: the past, but I'll check in. Could just be watching

1363
01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:29,120
Speaker 1: something else with that song plan or you could have

1364
01:09:29,160 --> 01:09:31,280
Speaker 1: been listening to the Loan Render soundtrack. Do you have

1365
01:09:31,360 --> 01:09:36,280
Speaker 1: a record everything? I mean, they're probably they're probably having

1366
01:09:36,320 --> 01:09:37,960
Speaker 1: fun time. I will do the reporting on this and

1367
01:09:38,040 --> 01:09:41,040
Speaker 1: get back to you on Tuesday. Let's go to Sunday

1368
01:09:41,120 --> 01:09:47,720
Speaker 1: Night Football four and five from the Vikings fourteen Prescott

1369
01:09:47,760 --> 01:09:57,439
Speaker 1: out of the Shotguns Blay. We all know that Eric Kendricks,

1370
01:09:57,439 --> 01:10:01,280
Speaker 1: who's top three in the league for pass break up

1371
01:10:01,720 --> 01:10:04,519
Speaker 1: for a linebacker, So they thought that they had that

1372
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:08,920
Speaker 1: mismatch with Zeke on Eric Kendricks and Rick Kendricks. Paul,

1373
01:10:09,479 --> 01:10:15,400
Speaker 1: what a beautiful play, Paul Allen and Pete Versus of

1374
01:10:15,479 --> 01:10:18,679
Speaker 1: the Vikings radio network with the call good insight there.

1375
01:10:19,800 --> 01:10:22,519
Speaker 1: Cowboys thought they had the mismatch. Eric Kendricks says, no,

1376
01:10:22,760 --> 01:10:26,200
Speaker 1: he swats it away, and essentially that was it for

1377
01:10:26,479 --> 01:10:29,360
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. The Vikings were able to essentially run

1378
01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:31,840
Speaker 1: out the clock after that and get a twenty eight

1379
01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:37,920
Speaker 1: to win in Gerald world, a huge win for the Vikings,

1380
01:10:38,760 --> 01:10:43,519
Speaker 1: who moved to seven and three with the win, and

1381
01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:47,400
Speaker 1: the Cowboys four fall to five and four. Keeping the

1382
01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:50,600
Speaker 1: NFC is very interesting, Greg, you weren't a fan of

1383
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:55,120
Speaker 1: how Jason Garrett and the Cowboys and Kellen Moore ran

1384
01:10:55,240 --> 01:10:57,760
Speaker 1: that final sequence. Yeah, we'll we'll get to giving the

1385
01:10:57,880 --> 01:11:00,320
Speaker 1: Vikings credit because it's it's a great road win. I

1386
01:11:00,400 --> 01:11:02,840
Speaker 1: think they they dominated up front in the running game

1387
01:11:02,880 --> 01:11:06,840
Speaker 1: on both sides. But Jason Garrett is very often to

1388
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:10,320
Speaker 1: me the difference in close Cowboys games and in this

1389
01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:14,280
Speaker 1: game the time that they took in terms of managing

1390
01:11:14,360 --> 01:11:17,320
Speaker 1: the game, especially after they got under the two minute warning.

1391
01:11:17,360 --> 01:11:19,000
Speaker 1: They were acting like they were ahead by four. You

1392
01:11:19,080 --> 01:11:22,400
Speaker 1: want to maximize your chances and you want to try

1393
01:11:22,479 --> 01:11:24,679
Speaker 1: to get the ball back if you don't score, which

1394
01:11:24,760 --> 01:11:27,840
Speaker 1: ended up happening with as much time as possible. More importantly,

1395
01:11:28,200 --> 01:11:31,200
Speaker 1: they just kept running Zekiel Elliott on first downs and

1396
01:11:31,280 --> 01:11:34,439
Speaker 1: in key situations when it wasn't working. Bob Stern, who

1397
01:11:34,479 --> 01:11:37,240
Speaker 1: does an awesome job the athletic would be right near

1398
01:11:37,280 --> 01:11:40,640
Speaker 1: the top of my Athletic writer power ranking, just he

1399
01:11:40,800 --> 01:11:44,439
Speaker 1: is amazing. He noticed that fifteen of their twenty three

1400
01:11:44,520 --> 01:11:46,479
Speaker 1: first downs. This was late in the fourth so it

1401
01:11:46,560 --> 01:11:49,320
Speaker 1: could have been updated. Uh, they ran on first down

1402
01:11:49,840 --> 01:11:53,360
Speaker 1: and they basically got no yardage on those plays. Zeke

1403
01:11:53,479 --> 01:11:57,320
Speaker 1: was just stuffed, including five carries for three yards on

1404
01:11:57,439 --> 01:12:01,040
Speaker 1: that last field goal drive. You added that, plus how

1405
01:12:01,200 --> 01:12:03,880
Speaker 1: Garrett never goes for it on fourth down. Four different

1406
01:12:04,280 --> 01:12:06,479
Speaker 1: fourth downs in the game where they're on the Vikings

1407
01:12:06,560 --> 01:12:09,679
Speaker 1: side of the field and it's five or six yards

1408
01:12:09,800 --> 01:12:11,800
Speaker 1: or less, they didn't go for it one time. In

1409
01:12:11,960 --> 01:12:17,120
Speaker 1: fairness to Jason Garrett, Kellen Moore is calling those runs

1410
01:12:17,160 --> 01:12:19,400
Speaker 1: on the first downs correct. Well, we don't know if

1411
01:12:19,479 --> 01:12:22,360
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett's telling him, hey, here's whatever it is that

1412
01:12:22,479 --> 01:12:25,320
Speaker 1: cowboy's offense. That's fair that the game management stuff in

1413
01:12:25,400 --> 01:12:26,920
Speaker 1: terms of, you know, decide to go for it on

1414
01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:30,320
Speaker 1: fourth downs, that's all certainly Garrett, but yes, paint the

1415
01:12:30,400 --> 01:12:32,960
Speaker 1: broader brush. You gotta do better when you have a

1416
01:12:33,040 --> 01:12:35,920
Speaker 1: game like this out of Dak Prescott, which was sensational,

1417
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:37,720
Speaker 1: and you don't only put up twenty four points. I

1418
01:12:37,800 --> 01:12:39,160
Speaker 1: said earlier in the year, I thought they had one

1419
01:12:39,200 --> 01:12:41,639
Speaker 1: of the best coaching staffs in the league. And Kellen

1420
01:12:41,720 --> 01:12:43,560
Speaker 1: Moore has the number one ranked d v o A

1421
01:12:43,840 --> 01:12:47,080
Speaker 1: offense going into this game. John kitt of the Quarterbacks coach,

1422
01:12:47,200 --> 01:12:49,519
Speaker 1: I believe has Dak Prescott playing better than he did

1423
01:12:49,600 --> 01:12:52,519
Speaker 1: even in his rookie year. He's been exceptional this year.

1424
01:12:53,680 --> 01:12:55,760
Speaker 1: Rob Mary Nelly, one of the best position coaches in

1425
01:12:55,760 --> 01:12:58,080
Speaker 1: the league. On the defensive line, Christopher Shard showed last

1426
01:12:58,120 --> 01:13:00,639
Speaker 1: year he can call the plays really well. I don't

1427
01:13:00,640 --> 01:13:03,160
Speaker 1: trust the head coach. I'm with Greg on that. That's

1428
01:13:03,200 --> 01:13:05,280
Speaker 1: been the case for years, and it's it's a night

1429
01:13:05,400 --> 01:13:08,880
Speaker 1: like this wipes out what was an incredible performance from

1430
01:13:08,920 --> 01:13:11,600
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper, who would have been the talk of the

1431
01:13:11,640 --> 01:13:13,920
Speaker 1: town had they won this thing. I just sometimes feel

1432
01:13:13,920 --> 01:13:16,240
Speaker 1: like Garrett's a punching bag and he's an easy target.

1433
01:13:16,479 --> 01:13:19,280
Speaker 1: They did, didn't execute. What does he if he's not

1434
01:13:19,400 --> 01:13:21,920
Speaker 1: calling the plays and he's an offensive mind, what does

1435
01:13:21,960 --> 01:13:24,200
Speaker 1: he bring to them if his games management is suspect?

1436
01:13:24,360 --> 01:13:25,960
Speaker 1: I agree with you they did next I get I

1437
01:13:26,080 --> 01:13:30,479
Speaker 1: agree he takes maybe too much of it, but man,

1438
01:13:30,520 --> 01:13:33,120
Speaker 1: I've just watched these close Cowboys losses. It feels like

1439
01:13:33,400 --> 01:13:35,240
Speaker 1: that for a long time. And and the whole idea

1440
01:13:35,320 --> 01:13:37,559
Speaker 1: this is an offense first team. It's a pass first team.

1441
01:13:37,600 --> 01:13:39,960
Speaker 1: That's what they're great at, and you're not leaning into it.

1442
01:13:40,320 --> 01:13:42,759
Speaker 1: There was four, like I said, four different fourth downs

1443
01:13:42,800 --> 01:13:45,200
Speaker 1: where it was five for six yards. There was a

1444
01:13:45,240 --> 01:13:46,760
Speaker 1: fourth and goal at the end of the game on

1445
01:13:46,840 --> 01:13:49,800
Speaker 1: the five and you kicked the field goal. Meanwhile, Dac

1446
01:13:49,880 --> 01:13:52,559
Speaker 1: at one point was five for five on third down

1447
01:13:52,760 --> 01:13:55,120
Speaker 1: in ten yards plus. I mean, he's hitting all these

1448
01:13:55,200 --> 01:13:58,400
Speaker 1: impossible throws that he has to make because you keep

1449
01:13:58,479 --> 01:14:00,800
Speaker 1: running on first and second death down the other side

1450
01:14:00,840 --> 01:14:02,760
Speaker 1: of the ball, you know. West We talked about it

1451
01:14:02,840 --> 01:14:06,040
Speaker 1: on this podcast a lot, how whether it's something that

1452
01:14:06,080 --> 01:14:09,439
Speaker 1: should be done or should be done. Kirk Cousins is

1453
01:14:09,520 --> 01:14:11,960
Speaker 1: the center of the narrative around the vikings of whether

1454
01:14:12,040 --> 01:14:16,400
Speaker 1: they sink or swim, and in this case, Cousins was

1455
01:14:16,520 --> 01:14:19,360
Speaker 1: neither the total hero and he certainly wasn't the goat,

1456
01:14:19,439 --> 01:14:22,200
Speaker 1: but he did his job. All that talk about that

1457
01:14:22,280 --> 01:14:24,759
Speaker 1: he's a guy that struggles in these type of spots

1458
01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:27,160
Speaker 1: while he was he was perfectly fine today and he

1459
01:14:27,800 --> 01:14:31,519
Speaker 1: kept the team moving with some long touchdown drives. He

1460
01:14:31,600 --> 01:14:33,840
Speaker 1: did not turn the ball over, and that's been a

1461
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:36,960
Speaker 1: major issue with Cousins and games like this in the past.

1462
01:14:37,439 --> 01:14:39,800
Speaker 1: But the star of the game on offense was actually

1463
01:14:39,920 --> 01:14:43,680
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook, who, again, uh, is a guy that and

1464
01:14:43,720 --> 01:14:47,240
Speaker 1: he's right behind Christian McCaffrey in terms of total yardage

1465
01:14:47,479 --> 01:14:50,080
Speaker 1: for all NFL players, and he saw it again. He

1466
01:14:50,200 --> 01:14:53,000
Speaker 1: ran for close to a hundred yards. He adds seven

1467
01:14:53,080 --> 01:14:56,320
Speaker 1: for eighty six through the air. He was on a

1468
01:14:56,400 --> 01:14:59,639
Speaker 1: day where they did not have Adam feeling, and when

1469
01:14:59,680 --> 01:15:02,320
Speaker 1: you don't have feeling, Stefon Diggs is not the same player.

1470
01:15:02,560 --> 01:15:05,000
Speaker 1: Davil Cook was there again to keep the offense moving,

1471
01:15:05,240 --> 01:15:08,120
Speaker 1: made a nice athletic jump pass on that touchdown which

1472
01:15:08,240 --> 01:15:10,040
Speaker 1: Rudolph made an awesome catch on in the back of

1473
01:15:10,080 --> 01:15:12,640
Speaker 1: the end. Zinne, And you're right, the the m v

1474
01:15:12,720 --> 01:15:15,280
Speaker 1: P of this offense, the most important player is Dalvin Cook,

1475
01:15:15,360 --> 01:15:18,680
Speaker 1: not Kirk Cousins. But kirk Cousins has still had you know,

1476
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:21,080
Speaker 1: he's had some ups and downs, but overall a good

1477
01:15:21,160 --> 01:15:23,960
Speaker 1: year and once again is a top half of the

1478
01:15:24,080 --> 01:15:27,360
Speaker 1: NFL quarterback It's a it's a perception thing too, because

1479
01:15:27,400 --> 01:15:30,920
Speaker 1: had kirk cousins season started with the last four games

1480
01:15:31,680 --> 01:15:33,720
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the year, we would be going

1481
01:15:33,760 --> 01:15:35,880
Speaker 1: absolutely nuts about him. It was the it was a

1482
01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:39,000
Speaker 1: wicked slump he had and it was a team wide issue.

1483
01:15:39,439 --> 01:15:42,320
Speaker 1: And they are going to continue on with Cook. I

1484
01:15:42,400 --> 01:15:45,240
Speaker 1: love Alexander Madison being used more and more each week. Two.

1485
01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:47,360
Speaker 1: I can trust this offense with the two of them. Right.

1486
01:15:47,439 --> 01:15:49,439
Speaker 1: For all the criticism you know I just had with

1487
01:15:49,640 --> 01:15:53,200
Speaker 1: Garrett the defense of the Cowboys let them down again

1488
01:15:53,400 --> 01:15:55,960
Speaker 1: like they have for much of the season. They give

1489
01:15:56,040 --> 01:15:58,760
Speaker 1: up to two touchdowns on the first two drives of

1490
01:15:58,800 --> 01:16:00,960
Speaker 1: the game. That's a you know, rible way obviously to

1491
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:02,680
Speaker 1: set the tone. And then the first two drives of

1492
01:16:02,760 --> 01:16:05,439
Speaker 1: the second half, Vikings go twelve plays for a field goal,

1493
01:16:05,520 --> 01:16:07,720
Speaker 1: thirteen plays for a touchdown. They could not get off

1494
01:16:07,760 --> 01:16:10,280
Speaker 1: the field. And that last touchdown drive, you know, they

1495
01:16:10,360 --> 01:16:13,760
Speaker 1: ran a ten straight times. That's just Mike Zimmer love

1496
01:16:13,840 --> 01:16:17,160
Speaker 1: him life right there like mono, Oh what is it's

1497
01:16:17,200 --> 01:16:21,240
Speaker 1: mono imano? Those those linebackers last year at the end

1498
01:16:21,240 --> 01:16:24,639
Speaker 1: of the year. Ever, they boxed everyone into that ten

1499
01:16:24,760 --> 01:16:28,000
Speaker 1: yards between you know, before the first down sticks. And

1500
01:16:28,040 --> 01:16:29,960
Speaker 1: I'd like to read an article or talk to someone

1501
01:16:30,160 --> 01:16:32,680
Speaker 1: and tell me are the linebackers not playing as well

1502
01:16:33,360 --> 01:16:35,800
Speaker 1: or the defensive lineman not clogging up the scene and

1503
01:16:35,960 --> 01:16:39,000
Speaker 1: taking on as many blockers and not allowing the linebackers

1504
01:16:39,080 --> 01:16:41,600
Speaker 1: to do what they do. So the Cowboys pile up

1505
01:16:41,640 --> 01:16:44,880
Speaker 1: four d and forty three yards of offense, scored twenty

1506
01:16:44,920 --> 01:16:48,200
Speaker 1: four points and lose. Uh And yeah, you look, you

1507
01:16:48,320 --> 01:16:51,439
Speaker 1: take a look at what's going on in the NFC

1508
01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:53,680
Speaker 1: East as a result. I mean This is supposed to

1509
01:16:53,720 --> 01:16:56,799
Speaker 1: be their division, but when you look at the standings,

1510
01:16:57,320 --> 01:16:59,320
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a dog fight down the stretch unless

1511
01:16:59,320 --> 01:17:01,360
Speaker 1: they find a way to start stringing together some wins.

1512
01:17:01,360 --> 01:17:03,479
Speaker 1: Because at five and four and West and I were

1513
01:17:03,520 --> 01:17:05,720
Speaker 1: talking about this while we watch this game, that d

1514
01:17:05,840 --> 01:17:07,639
Speaker 1: V O A and all. A lot of the advanced

1515
01:17:07,880 --> 01:17:10,920
Speaker 1: analytics point to the Cowboys as being a top team

1516
01:17:10,960 --> 01:17:13,280
Speaker 1: in the league. But right now they're tied at five

1517
01:17:13,360 --> 01:17:16,200
Speaker 1: and four, a middling record, a top the NFC. So

1518
01:17:16,280 --> 01:17:18,080
Speaker 1: they got to figure out a way to translate all

1519
01:17:18,120 --> 01:17:21,639
Speaker 1: that great production and those type of numbers into w's

1520
01:17:22,080 --> 01:17:24,240
Speaker 1: or they're just not gonna go very far this season. Yeah,

1521
01:17:24,240 --> 01:17:26,720
Speaker 1: they're already in a dog fight. They have the same

1522
01:17:26,760 --> 01:17:28,840
Speaker 1: record as the Eagles, right and they are four. No,

1523
01:17:28,960 --> 01:17:31,360
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are in the division. But this game I

1524
01:17:31,439 --> 01:17:35,439
Speaker 1: think could be really big in the playoff picture. Vikings Cowboys,

1525
01:17:35,479 --> 01:17:37,320
Speaker 1: you figure are gonna be two teams that are gonna

1526
01:17:37,360 --> 01:17:39,800
Speaker 1: be in the mix to the end, whether that's for

1527
01:17:41,439 --> 01:17:44,559
Speaker 1: a home game as a division winner or whether they're

1528
01:17:44,600 --> 01:17:46,800
Speaker 1: fighting for the fifth or six playoff spot, and the

1529
01:17:46,960 --> 01:17:49,600
Speaker 1: Vikings getting the win on the road almost counts a

1530
01:17:49,680 --> 01:17:52,200
Speaker 1: little double. I think these are both playoff teams still

1531
01:17:52,640 --> 01:17:55,400
Speaker 1: as as frustrating as the Cowboys have been at times

1532
01:17:55,479 --> 01:17:58,600
Speaker 1: this year. I I think so, Mark, you don't think so, No,

1533
01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:00,760
Speaker 1: I I have no problem at that. I think the end,

1534
01:18:00,800 --> 01:18:04,080
Speaker 1: the bottom half of the NFC playoff grid is figuring

1535
01:18:04,120 --> 01:18:07,360
Speaker 1: itself out, and the Cowboys this is these games are

1536
01:18:07,439 --> 01:18:11,280
Speaker 1: coming down to snippets, plays, little moments, and we'd be

1537
01:18:11,320 --> 01:18:13,559
Speaker 1: talking about the Cowboys completely differently on a night where

1538
01:18:13,600 --> 01:18:19,000
Speaker 1: they had four hundred and fifty plus. It's the last

1539
01:18:19,040 --> 01:18:23,320
Speaker 1: couple of moments that Kendricks, you know, doesn't make what

1540
01:18:23,479 --> 01:18:25,679
Speaker 1: really was a great play. It's the yard behind where

1541
01:18:25,680 --> 01:18:29,240
Speaker 1: he was made. Uh. The All Pro team with West

1542
01:18:29,320 --> 01:18:31,720
Speaker 1: did a great job on and you know balled out

1543
01:18:31,800 --> 01:18:34,680
Speaker 1: again tonight. There are a lot of positive signs for

1544
01:18:34,720 --> 01:18:37,760
Speaker 1: these Cowboys, including Prescott had no pressure on him for

1545
01:18:37,880 --> 01:18:40,160
Speaker 1: most of the night. Not only does Cooper go for

1546
01:18:40,200 --> 01:18:43,400
Speaker 1: one seven, but Cob goes for goes for over a hundred,

1547
01:18:43,400 --> 01:18:45,920
Speaker 1: Gallop goes for seventies six. There's a lot to deal

1548
01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:48,519
Speaker 1: with on this offense. That's why, you know, maybe I

1549
01:18:48,560 --> 01:18:50,679
Speaker 1: get a little more frustrated when and the end doesn't

1550
01:18:50,720 --> 01:18:53,240
Speaker 1: get come together. I would like to see Ezekiel Elliott

1551
01:18:53,640 --> 01:18:56,280
Speaker 1: move into a period of this season where he's playing

1552
01:18:56,360 --> 01:19:02,479
Speaker 1: dominant uh the stically the last week. I just don't

1553
01:19:02,520 --> 01:19:07,640
Speaker 1: see a second level defenders fifty yards a game the

1554
01:19:07,720 --> 01:19:10,479
Speaker 1: last month. It's pretty good. The big plays aren't there

1555
01:19:11,040 --> 01:19:14,280
Speaker 1: in previous years. He's getting thirty sixty yard plays that

1556
01:19:14,320 --> 01:19:18,479
Speaker 1: aren't there this year. All right, So what do we

1557
01:19:18,560 --> 01:19:23,240
Speaker 1: learned today? We learned that the Browns and Jets both won.

1558
01:19:23,360 --> 01:19:25,800
Speaker 1: That hasn't happened a lot playoff push for both of

1559
01:19:25,880 --> 01:19:31,599
Speaker 1: those franchises. I liked. I liked um Baker's press conference outfit.

1560
01:19:31,760 --> 01:19:35,680
Speaker 1: That was a nice bounces. To be real about it,

1561
01:19:35,720 --> 01:19:39,200
Speaker 1: you were thinking was slinging with with arrows downstairs in

1562
01:19:39,280 --> 01:19:43,120
Speaker 1: the newsroom. I thought that he I'm sorry, he doesn't

1563
01:19:43,160 --> 01:19:45,200
Speaker 1: have the charisma of Sam Donald in front of the

1564
01:19:46,320 --> 01:19:52,479
Speaker 1: but he is who he is. That's like taking shots

1565
01:19:52,520 --> 01:19:54,960
Speaker 1: on him. But I missed the zinger that apparently was

1566
01:19:55,040 --> 01:19:58,479
Speaker 1: so devastating. I what I was saying was that he

1567
01:19:58,760 --> 01:20:02,360
Speaker 1: clearly put a out of effort into today's outfit. Now

1568
01:20:02,479 --> 01:20:04,360
Speaker 1: that's not a sling in an arrow and I do

1569
01:20:04,520 --> 01:20:07,840
Speaker 1: believe it was an improvement he was last week. He

1570
01:20:08,000 --> 01:20:09,559
Speaker 1: was dressed like a guy should be on a list.

1571
01:20:10,400 --> 01:20:12,960
Speaker 1: This week it was kind of like a DJ, like

1572
01:20:13,040 --> 01:20:16,599
Speaker 1: a hot DJ, and that's an improvement. All I if

1573
01:20:16,640 --> 01:20:18,559
Speaker 1: he's gonna win, I don't care what he's wearing. Half

1574
01:20:18,600 --> 01:20:21,320
Speaker 1: the league has quarterbacks wearing insane stuff after they win

1575
01:20:21,439 --> 01:20:26,080
Speaker 1: or lose. Mark, Mark, did you like the way Baker looked? Oh? Yeah,

1576
01:20:27,720 --> 01:20:31,240
Speaker 1: we Uh we did learn something else though. Yeah, it's

1577
01:20:31,280 --> 01:20:35,320
Speaker 1: been seven seasons. I don't know how many shows that's been.

1578
01:20:35,640 --> 01:20:38,200
Speaker 1: You know, this is our seventh NFL season. It's been

1579
01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:40,679
Speaker 1: a great ride. But what we learned is we're gonna

1580
01:20:40,680 --> 01:20:42,360
Speaker 1: have to come up with something else to do Sunday

1581
01:20:43,360 --> 01:20:45,760
Speaker 1: because we said, if we if we don't go over

1582
01:20:45,880 --> 01:20:49,760
Speaker 1: ten thousand followers on Instagram, the show is over and

1583
01:20:49,920 --> 01:20:53,160
Speaker 1: we're at six. A nice performance. I mean, we appreciate

1584
01:20:53,240 --> 01:20:57,840
Speaker 1: everyone jumping on board from six. Essentially from now. You

1585
01:20:57,960 --> 01:21:00,600
Speaker 1: made a great effort in Erica's you know, doing a

1586
01:21:00,640 --> 01:21:03,559
Speaker 1: great job, you know, running this account. But ultimately we're

1587
01:21:03,680 --> 01:21:07,320
Speaker 1: men of our word, and uh, the road ends here tonight. Yeah. Ye,

1588
01:21:07,479 --> 01:21:09,160
Speaker 1: and it's not you know, you look at the video

1589
01:21:09,960 --> 01:21:12,840
Speaker 1: preview show for Week ten. I looked at it. Over

1590
01:21:13,000 --> 01:21:17,280
Speaker 1: nine thousand people viewed that and saw the threat in

1591
01:21:17,320 --> 01:21:20,240
Speaker 1: the message that the show would end. A huge chunk

1592
01:21:20,280 --> 01:21:22,840
Speaker 1: of them did not follow the Instagram, but those nine

1593
01:21:22,880 --> 01:21:24,840
Speaker 1: thousand people want to check it out. It's at the

1594
01:21:25,240 --> 01:21:28,479
Speaker 1: A t M Podcast on Instagram. It's well, it's over,

1595
01:21:29,240 --> 01:21:31,240
Speaker 1: so don't even bother following now it's our last show.

1596
01:21:31,320 --> 01:21:35,160
Speaker 1: Well we could maybe we'll transition into something radio or

1597
01:21:35,840 --> 01:21:38,560
Speaker 1: or not a different sport. Maybe hear the YouTube is

1598
01:21:39,360 --> 01:21:41,320
Speaker 1: kids like that? Is that like? Is that the same

1599
01:21:41,439 --> 01:21:44,679
Speaker 1: sort of thing? What if we started XFL podcast affected tomorrow,

1600
01:21:44,720 --> 01:21:47,120
Speaker 1: then we have to watch XFL games. Well, we gotta

1601
01:21:47,120 --> 01:21:49,320
Speaker 1: start something new. We made a promise more time for

1602
01:21:49,400 --> 01:21:52,360
Speaker 1: Courts of Thunder. So that's that's the hit our off

1603
01:21:52,400 --> 01:21:57,000
Speaker 1: season infamous tennis blog. All right, we probably won't be

1604
01:21:57,080 --> 01:22:00,400
Speaker 1: back Tuesday, but if we were contractually forced to be here, uh,

1605
01:22:00,560 --> 01:22:03,400
Speaker 1: we will be here on Tuesday, and you can um

1606
01:22:04,400 --> 01:22:06,599
Speaker 1: continue to follow the NFL with us. We do enjoy

1607
01:22:06,640 --> 01:22:08,640
Speaker 1: it in all seriousness. That's awesome. We got a ton

01:22:17,760 --> 01:22:19,080
Speaker 1: thank you the way you just said it that was

1612
01:22:19,120 --> 01:22:23,000
Speaker 1: a very like modern California. I don't know, I missed it,

1613
01:22:26,120 --> 01:22:28,000
Speaker 1: that's not it, but like it was, it wasn't as

1614
01:22:28,040 --> 01:22:31,519
Speaker 1: sexy as like, oh yeah, but it wasn't equal to that.

1615
01:22:31,760 --> 01:22:33,960
Speaker 1: But I'm more saying it was like a valley girlish

1616
01:22:34,000 --> 01:22:35,600
Speaker 1: type way. But I will listen to it again on

1617

1623
01:23:39,280 --> 01:23:43,080

1624
01:23:43,479 --> 01:23:47,080
Speaker 1: Birthday people, That's what I mean. I think they just

1628
01:23:54,960 --> 01:23:58,679
Speaker 1: you've been You think there's been twelve leap years since

1629
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:02,440
Speaker 1: And I don't track this bull. That's a different ways.

1630
01:24:03,000 --> 01:24:07,639
Speaker 1: That's what you think. How often is Sleepier happening every

1631
01:24:07,680 --> 01:24:10,160
Speaker 1: four years? If I only could be as sharp as

1632
01:24:10,200 --> 01:24:15,240
Speaker 1: you Erica, you know, a dagger with an edge that

1633
01:24:15,320 --> 01:24:20,320
Speaker 1: could serrate and filet at all times. If talking it's

1634
01:24:20,360 --> 01:24:21,960
Speaker 1: really tender. You know, you don't have to be super

1635
01:24:22,120 --> 01:24:26,320
Speaker 1: super sharp to cut, but you are. She's like, Oh,

1639
01:24:34,080 --> 01:24:35,080
Speaker 1: just be switching months
