1
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Richard Truman Podcast. It was another incredible week,

2
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: but unfortunately the San Francisco forty nine Ers lose twenty

3
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:18,639
Speaker 1: six to twenty one to the Jacksonville Jaguars. One of

4
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: the worst games I've seen him play in a very

5
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 1: long time, just on I mean, I can't say both

6
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: sides of the ball, because I felt like the defense

7
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 1: in the second half really picked it up and started

8
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: to figure it out. But offensively, that was that was

9
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: bad football. I mean not in terms of moving the ball.

10
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: They threw for three hundred yards. They ran for about

11
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: eighty three, which is lower than Kyle would won, I'm sure,

12
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: but it just was a sloppy game, an uninspired game.

13
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 1: They gave up a touchdown on special teams on a

14
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 1: punt return and nobody was even close. It didn't it

15
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: look like a practice rep multiple interceptions by brock Party

16
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: and then a fumble by Eric Armstead of all people.

17
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: At the end of the game. It was disastrous. But

18
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: I know your I know you feeling good, Mitchell. It

19
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: was tough sleding there early against the Cleveland Browns. It

20
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: still is one of the top defenses in the National

21
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: Football League, and they have a lot of guys that

22
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: can do it. But for Detroit, Lions slowly but surely

23
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: got the engine turning and pulled it off.

24
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 2: Tell me how you feeling.

25
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 3: Oh, they're starting to look like a juggernaut, Richard. I'm

26
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 3: certainly going into Sunday a lot more at ease with

27
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 3: these last three weeks. And listen the Cleveland Browns there.

28
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 3: You know they're the one in three Cleveland Browns. But

29
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 3: reality is, they just beat one of the best teams

30
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 3: in the league in the Green Bay Packers last week.

31
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 3: So coming into this week, you know the Lions are

32
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 3: on high alert. Cleveland Trotzen statistically the number one defense

33
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 3: in the league, and Detroit took care of business thirty

34
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 3: four to ten, and we saw it all over the field.

35
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 3: I mean, i'mon ras Saint Brown two touchdowns, you know,

36
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 3: Gibbs ninety one rushing yards, and it's just right now.

37
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 3: It's a combination of a couple of things. For one,

38
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 3: this defense is looking dynamic, looking like one of the

39
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 3: best defenses in the league, which I myself might have

40
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 3: called at the beginning of the year. But the more

41
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 3: surprising thing is this offensive line.

42
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 4: Richard.

43
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 3: They're replacing two key components right in the middle, and

44
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 3: Frank Reganow and Kevin Zeitdler and they insert a rookie

45
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 3: right from Georgia. Frank, I'm sorry, Tate Ratledice offensive guard

46
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 3: is going right next door to Christian Mahogany. Richard, these

47
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,399
Speaker 3: two guys are turning into absolute studs right in front

48
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 3: of our eyes, and it's giving the Lions that extra

49
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 3: cushion with their salary cap. If you think about it,

50
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 3: between those two players, they're bolt on rookie deals right

51
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 3: there in tier of Their offensive line is probably making

52
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 3: about twelve million dollars collectively. That is a huge, huge

53
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 3: opportunity for the Lions to continue to build this roster.

54
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 3: But to give up zero sacks for the second week

55
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 3: in a row with this young offensive line, Detroit's got

56
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 3: to feel very very good about what's ahead the rest

57
00:02:59,919 --> 00:03:02,119
Speaker 3: of this season. You know, Richard, I want to talk

58
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 3: a little bit about the secondary though, because I know

59
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 3: you love you some terry On Arnold, I know you

60
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 3: love you some DJ Reid. You know, reality is, we

61
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 3: saw one of the guys in terry On have a

62
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 3: reduced role this week, and he gets another penalty, and

63
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 3: we see Dj Reed go out with looks what looks

64
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 3: like a meaningful hamstring injury. Let's start with Terry on Richard.

65
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 3: He struggled of recent he has not been able to

66
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 3: stay off well. If the penalty's off of his back

67
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 3: and we see another one today, you know, what is

68
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 3: your advice for a young player like him who's going

69
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 3: through the motions but has the talent.

70
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: H You just got to stop pressing, you know, just

71
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: do your job. Trust your technique. You know, I'm sure

72
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: that's exactly what the coaches are telling them. You got

73
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: to trust your technique. You know, you feel like you're pressing.

74
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: You want to cover so well, you want to do

75
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: things so well. Sometimes it's less is more, and that's

76
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: where you got to get to his less is more.

77
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: But I got to get back to the to the

78
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers and complete that little recap

79
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: because that was awful and I want the pople to

80
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: understand that. And we'll finish it off your Detroit Lions.

81
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: But brock perty is back. I think they they if

82
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: if mac Jones wasn't hurt as badly as he was,

83
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: I think he starts this game. You could see the

84
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: rust obviously, Brock completed some really good passes, but you

85
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 1: could see the rust offensive line again. He was under

86
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: the rest. The pockets were collapsed in but he had

87
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: adequate time. There weren't very many holes for Christian McCaffrey

88
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: to work his way through. Way, way, way too many

89
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: drops from why I mean, I can't I can't just

90
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: say to why receivers because there was everybody wide, receivers,

91
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: the running backs, the tighty ends. Everybody had had a

92
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: hand in dropping passes in this game. And and still

93
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 1: they had a chance to win because they're a really

94
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: good team in Jacksonville isn't a great team.

95
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 2: But to turn the ball over what it ended up

96
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 2: being three three times, it might have been four or

97
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 2: it was four for four turnovers. To turn the ball

98
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 2: over four times in any game, it's unacceptable. That's an

99
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 2: unacceptable thing to do.

100
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 1: And I'm sure Kyle Shanahan is gonna have his foot

101
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: deep in a lot of people's rear ends because that's

102
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 1: not forty nine ers football. And those drops, those drops

103
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 1: are just those. There weren't all difficult passes, you know,

104
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: some of them were high. I think the one Christian

105
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: that ended up getting picked by by Lloyd was high.

106
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: But there was something that was that were right in

107
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:33,799
Speaker 1: the gut.

108
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 2: I thought.

109
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 1: I thought the one KB dropped was right in his

110
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: hands and a play that I've seen him make a

111
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 1: lot of times. I thought Christian dropped the easy one.

112
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: I thought there was It just seemed like Murphy's law.

113
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: Everything that could go wrong went wrong. And defensively, they

114
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: start the game off given given Travis Etn a forty

115
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: eight yard touchdown almost untouched down the sideline. That was,

116
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that was disappointing. And then to let

117
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: them drive thirteen or fourteen plays whatever it was, all

118
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: the way down the field after giving up a third

119
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: and long to Travis Hunter a twenty eight yard game

120
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: when they were backed up. If you get that stop,

121
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: it's an entirely different game. And it looked like they

122
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: had a chance to get the ball out, but steal

123
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: and unacceptable play by that defense. But after that, the

124
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: defense only gave up three points. I want to say

125
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 1: they gave up two touchdowns early. They gave up three

126
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: points in the second half, and then there were other

127
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: things that happened. The special teams gave up on return

128
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: as we said, and again the offense had a chance

129
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: to win the game with three minutes to go, driving

130
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: down the field, a good pass to Christian McCaffrey, and

131
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: then you can't have that fumble. You cannot have that play.

132
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 1: You cannot you have to protect the football. And again,

133
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: it just seemed like everybody was going through the motions

134
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 1: this game. I don't know why, I don't. I love

135
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: this team, I love watching them, but that just felt

136
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: like everybody's going through the motions, like, hey, we're three

137
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: and zero, you know, maybe maybe looking forward a little

138
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: bit to the Rams game. I'm not sure, but I'm

139
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: hoping that. You know, again, it's the NFC West is

140
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: really tight right now. Everybody's three and one at the top.

141
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: The Rams pull out a tough win against the Indianapolis Colts,

142
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks pull off a win against the Arizona Cardinals,

143
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: and the San Francisco forty nine Ers lose a game

144
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: that they probably should have won and could have easily

145
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: won a team that they were better than and they

146
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: did not win.

147
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 2: So this is gonna be a tough division.

148
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: Three to one at the top, three teams tied, and

149
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: you got a tough Rams team who's battle tested, who

150
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: played a great game at home last week and who

151
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: were playing at home again on Thursday night.

152
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 2: You gotta get you gotta pick it up, lick your

153
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 2: wounds and figure it out.

154
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: It's a short week, and guys got to come back

155
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: locked and they got to run the ball better. They

156
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: got to move people. Now, you got to give the

157
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars credit. They have a good offense, I mean

158
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: good defensive line. Their defense has been phenomenal, three plus

159
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: turnovers in every single game. They're making plays, they're forcing

160
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: the issue. The San Francisco forty nine Ers defense had

161
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: some opportunities. I thought the up and stout interception was

162
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: a phenomenal play. I thought that was a horseshit call.

163
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: I thought that was BS. There's no way you called

164
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: that after an interception. I mean there's a little push

165
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: and pull in every play. That wasn't enough to effect

166
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: the play in that way. You got to give him that.

167
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: And I thought Fred had a couple opportunities. He punched

168
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: the ball out. There are a couple of tips that

169
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,719
Speaker 1: bounced his way and he couldn't quite bring him in.

170
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's kicking himself for that, but he was

171
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: around the ball. But eventually you got to get an interception.

172
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 1: This defense has to get a turnover. You got to

173
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: give the offense another possession, especially when they're playing like this.

174
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: But going back to your Detroit Lions, it's tough because

175
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: you guys dealt with a lot of injuries last year.

176
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: So to have the injuries in the secondary that you're

177
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: having right now. Both starting corners banged up, one of

178
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: your safeties is banged up after playing a really solid game,

179
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: getting two turnovers, two big turnovers in that game. It's frustrating,

180
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 1: but it's the next man up in mentality. It has

181
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: to be. You don't have a choice. Hopefully those guys

182
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: are healthy, Hopefully they get back soon, but you gotta

183
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: go next man up. This team is rolling offensively, and

184
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: nobody's gonna wait for you. Nobody's gonna gonna wait for

185
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: you to get healthy, that's for sure.

186
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 3: That's no question about that. But it's a good thing

187
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 3: to see, Richard. They're clicking on all cylinders. I'm sorry

188
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 3: about your San Francisco forty nine ers.

189
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 4: I really am.

190
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 3: There gonna be in a dog fight in that NFC weist,

191
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 3: and we just saw the hat change, Richard, because they're

192
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 3: tied neck and neck with the Seattle Seahawks top that

193
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 3: division with the Rams. But let's let's talk about this

194
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 3: Rams team right now. Because the Colts come to town.

195
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 3: One of your new favorite players of the year, Indiana Jones,

196
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 3: trots out to LA and they kept this game really competitive.

197
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 3: Ultimately LA ended up pulling off the win. Stafford goes

198
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 3: for three seventy five and three touchdowns. Pooka a Cool,

199
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 3: Holy cow, can this guy ever be stopped? Thirteen receptions

200
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 3: for one hundred and seventy yards and a touchdown. He

201
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 3: is the new Cooper Cup out there, right Richard? I mean,

202
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 3: what is your thoughts on this LA Rams team? I

203
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 3: know you're gonna see him firsthand on Thursday night. What

204
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 3: are your thoughts on this team? Because to me, personally,

205
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 3: I believe they're the best team in the NFC West,

206
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 3: just top to bottom.

207
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 4: I think they they're the guy wreckers.

208
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 3: Defensively, especially on the D line, and offensively, I mean,

209
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:42,079
Speaker 3: we're seeing Pooka a Cool become this this absolute star,

210
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,199
Speaker 3: and Matthew Stafford just continues to be as consistent self.

211
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 3: What's your thoughts on this Rams team?

212
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 1: I thought offensively, they really caught fire after struggling early

213
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: on Stafford go throw us for three seventy five and

214
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: three touchdowns. He was only sacked three times, and I

215
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: mean I thought they were beating him up a little bit.

216
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: But watching this game, I thought they benefited from some things.

217
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: You know, ada I Mitchell had a touchdown. He had

218
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: a touchdown, thick touchdown where he spent off, ran it

219
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: in and literally dropped the ball at the goal line

220
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: for a touchback. Literally erased a touchdown off the board

221
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: in this game, and I think that was the difference

222
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: in the game. That's when a lot of things started

223
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 1: turning around. Another huge play in the game. The defender

224
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: falls garden to to out Well and it ends up

225
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: being an eighty eight yard touchdown, a one play touchdown

226
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: when the game is tied up. And of course Matthew

227
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: Stafford does not miss the layups like that, and he

228
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: hit him right on the on the numbers to to

229
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: out Well runs it in a speedy guy. His only

230
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: catch of the day, eighty eight yard touchdown. So I thought,

231
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: I still think the Indianapolis Colts in Indiana Jones are legit.

232
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 1: He did throw two interceptions in this game. Great plays

233
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: by the defense. Cam Curll had one of them. But

234
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: you can't have those mistakes against a really good team

235
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: like the Los Angeles Rams, like you said, at their

236
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: front causes a lot of issues and helped them in

237
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,719
Speaker 1: check for the most part. They held Jonathan Taylor and

238
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: check for the most part. He still had seventeen carries

239
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 1: for seventy six yards, and he had another big time

240
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: mistake on at A nine Mitchell. He had a fifty

241
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 1: one yard run where he was contained and broke two

242
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: three tackles and ran it in for fifty one yard touchdown,

243
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 1: and they called it back because of a holding call

244
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: on number ten at A nine Mitchell. And that that's backbreaking,

245
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: that's back breaking. One guy single handedly might have lost

246
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: him in this game. And so will I give the

247
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: Rams a ton of credit. I gotta say that Colts

248
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: beat themselves in this game. I mean one guy beat him.

249
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: He took two touchdowns off the board and they lost

250
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: by seven. And you can't have it. You can't have it.

251
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to this game in La versus the

252
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers. I think it's gonna be

253
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: a doll fight out. The division games always are. Uh

254
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 1: McVay versus Shanahan always is. Those games are always close.

255
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: You know what they're gonna They know each other so

256
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: well defensively, I know Robert sala is gonna have these

257
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 1: guys raring to go. Chris Shula is gonna have his

258
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: guys wearing to go. That D line, the San Francisco

259
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: forty nine ers offensive line has to figure out a

260
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: way to open up some holes. They have to find

261
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: some room for Christian McCaffrey. And maybe you gotta run

262
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: Brian Robinson a little bit more than they're running him.

263
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:35,959
Speaker 1: I think they I think he has to have a

264
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: bigger role in his offense for them to really get going.

265
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: There are so many injuries right now. Hopefully they start

266
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: to get healthier and get guys back. But man, they

267
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: couldn't have played much worse than the San Francisco forty nineers.

268
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: Couldn't have played much worse than they did today. And

269
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: then you got the Seattle Seahawks. That's why I'm wearing

270
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: a hat because to the winner goes to spoils. The

271
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks played really good football, both sides of the

272
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball, all three phases. They let

273
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals back in the game gave him some

274
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: uncorrect characteristic explosives late.

275
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:11,959
Speaker 2: In that game.

276
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: That I'm sure they want back. But for all intents

277
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: and purposes, Sam Donald looks the part. He looks like

278
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: a really good NFL quarterback. He looks like the guy

279
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: that they paid. He looks a little underpaid right now

280
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: with the way he's winning these ball games and pushing

281
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: offense down the field and controlling these games. Get the

282
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: word game manager is such a frown upon phrase now,

283
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: it's it's looked at at so differently than it used

284
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: to be. But he's managing the game so well, and

285
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: that is winning football in the National Football League. Tom

286
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 1: Brady is the greatest quarterback of all time, the greatest,

287
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: the greatest football player for some people, and he would

288
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: say himself, he's he's really a phenomenal game manager. He

289
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: knows how to get the offense in position, he knows

290
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: how to take what the defense gives him, not put

291
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: the ball in harm's way, control the clock, under standing

292
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: situations you're in. And that's what Sam Donold is doing

293
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: a great job of for the Seattle Seahawks week in

294
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: and week out. If they didn't have that that game

295
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: against the San Francisco for nineer. If that was closer

296
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: than than the score would would would suggest, Uh, they

297
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: could easily be undefeated again. Feel like they're gonna win

298
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: this division and it's gonna be a tie with San

299
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: Francisco for nineer, but they're gonna have the tiebreaker.

300
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 2: I still feel that way.

301
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: I felt like that early and I still feel like

302
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: that right now because of how they're playing and the

303
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: injuries and things that San Francisco for nine ers are

304
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: dealing with. They they obviously missed Nicholas John Bolster today.

305
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: You could see that. You could see the lack of

306
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: pressure at times on on uh Trevor Lawrence. Not that

307
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: he had a huge game, but you needed to get

308
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: him on the ground. You needed some turnovers, you needed

309
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: some some some big plays, and you needed your close

310
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: her out there, and he wasn't so uh, Mitchell. It's

311
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: a it's an interesting league right now. But the Eagles

312
00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: Bucks game looked like a blowout early, but it ended

313
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: up being a game.

314
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 3: I can't really make much sense of this Philadelphia Eagles

315
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 3: team because you know, they got one of the best

316
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 3: ride receivers in football on aj Brown, and three of

317
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 3: the first four weeks of the season. They haven't even

318
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 3: thrown them the ball yet they're still winning. There's still

319
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 3: four and zero. They came out of the gates roaring,

320
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 3: you know, went up quick double digits against the Bucks

321
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 3: right away, and then the Bucks ultimately turned this thing

322
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 3: around and make it competitive game. The more I watch

323
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield Richard, the more I love the guy. I

324
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 3: would love for him to be a quarterback of any

325
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 3: team I root for. He's just such a gamer seeing

326
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 3: him scramble out of the pocket and I'm third and

327
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 3: long fourth downs and getting the first downs, and they

328
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 3: really made this game more competitive than the score might

329
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 3: have suggested. But let's talk about this Eagles team because

330
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 3: you know, as they continue to win, to me, I

331
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 3: just don't think they're the best team in the NFC.

332
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 3: And I know they're number one on your power ranks,

333
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 3: but I'm just not sold on it yet.

334
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 4: How did they change their identity little bit here?

335
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 3: Because I know they got up so early, but statistically speaking,

336
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,360
Speaker 3: they got to start getting aj Brown and the receivers

337
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 3: more involved in these games.

338
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, if you look at it, statistically, their

339
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: superstars on offense didn't have superstar kind of days outside

340
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: of Jalen Hurts, and even he was fifteen for twenty

341
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: four four, one hundred and thirty yards and two touchdowns.

342
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 1: But again, managing the game and doing what is necessary

343
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 1: to win these ball games is all that matter. Statistics

344
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,360
Speaker 1: don't really matter in this respect, and I think that's

345
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: the way the Philadelphia Eagles are playing these games. They're

346
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: not worried about putting up gaudy statistics. They targeted AJ

347
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 1: Brown nine times in this game. He only had two

348
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: catches for seven yards, so it wasn't for a lack

349
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,479
Speaker 1: of them trying to get him the football. But I'm

350
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: sure Todd Bowles understands who AJ Brown is and they've

351
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: had some success against Jalen Hurts, and I think Jalen

352
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: Hurts might have taken that personally in this game, and

353
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: you could see he made a lot of big plays

354
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,719
Speaker 1: with his legs. They held Sakwan Barkley and check nineteen

355
00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: carries for forty three yards two point three a care.

356
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: They deal what they could against Saquon Barkley, but but

357
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: they found Dallas Goddard for two touchdowns. And so again,

358
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: no matter who you stop, you stop one guy, the

359
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:16,120
Speaker 1: next guy wins. You stop Saquon then then Jalen Hurts

360
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 1: is gonna do it with his legs. You stop Saquon,

361
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: I mean, you stop Jalen Hurst. Then Saquon Barkley's doing

362
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 1: them out the backfield catching the football. Deavonte Smith will

363
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,239
Speaker 1: catch the football. He only had two catches in his

364
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 1: game on four targets. But I really liked what I

365
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 1: saw at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I think they're they're

366
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 1: a better team than than people gave them credit to

367
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: start this season. I think they obviously have won the

368
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: NFC South four years in a row, and I think

369
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 1: they got a good chance to win it this year.

370
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: I really like the way Baker Mayfield's playing. I think

371
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: he's playing at a top five quarterback level in the

372
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: National Football League to be able to do this without

373
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: Mike Evans, they haven't been able to win a lot

374
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: of games with Mike Evans is not in the lineup

375
00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:00,439
Speaker 1: for obvious reasons. He's an incredible all All World Hall

376
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,959
Speaker 1: of Fame talent. That's a reason he's had so many yards.

377
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: But the way Baker was moving around and finding guys

378
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: using his legs, hitting the open guy. He hit a

379
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: Mecca Abuka on a seventy seven yard touchdown off of

380
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: scramble you know, found him thread at the needle between

381
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: two defenders. It looked like a bus to coverage. Then

382
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: he found Bucky Irvy on another seventy yard touchdown. Bucky

383
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 1: Irving ended up with being the lead and receiver with

384
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: one hundred yards receiving and a Mecca had one hundred

385
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: yards receiving. So again, this Philadelphia Eagle secondary can be had.

386
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 1: And I think that's something different than it was a

387
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 1: year ago, that that's a vulnerability that wasn't as much

388
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: last year. I thought they were one of the best

389
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: secondaries in the National Football League. But when you lose

390
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: big play Sleigh and you lose you know, you know.

391
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 2: CJ.

392
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: Garter Johnson got cut from the Houston Texans, but he

393
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: fit very well in his system. He did well, he

394
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 1: played well, and sometimes when you lose veterans like that,

395
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 1: angels of dynamic and there's been more mistakes in that secondary.

396
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,239
Speaker 1: But Cooper dejen looked really good. They were trying him

397
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 1: up at the outside corner today. He had some really

398
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 1: really good coverage reps against a Mecca Abuka where he

399
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: just played at square square shoulders. Great footwork, breaking on passes.

400
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: I thought he looked in control, he looked dominant, and

401
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: I thought I thought Quinon Mitchell looked the same. I

402
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: thought he looked great in his I think there was

403
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: some next gen stat about tight window throws, and he

404
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 1: had the most tight window that he forced, the most

405
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: tight window throws today, one of the highest in the

406
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,439
Speaker 1: National Football League in a long time. So you have

407
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: the guys, they have talented players, but people are finding

408
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: the others. People are finding the others to attack in

409
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: this defense. They're not going at the strengths of the defense.

410
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: But again, when you have Jalen Carter and guys like that,

411
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 1: you're not just gonna run the football on them all

412
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 1: day and you're not gonna have a ton of success

413
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: on the ground. But I think it might have just

414
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 1: been the weather, that the weather in Tampa is super hot,

415
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 1: and that it will get to him eventually, And I

416
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: think after a while it gets to everybody, and he

417
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: started to weigh on him and guys, you know, just

418
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,159
Speaker 1: natural fatigue, and you start to see Baker have a

419
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: little bit more time. But I still feel like the

420
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 1: best team in the National Football League right now is

421
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles, and until they lose, it's hard.

422
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 2: To It's hard to say otherwise.

423
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 3: Let's talk about that same division, and this is the

424
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 3: New York Giants. They host LA Chargers today and they

425
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 3: shockingly get a win in Jackson Dart's first game as

426
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 3: a starter, and he impressed early. I mean, you saw

427
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 3: his mobility. You see why they like him. He gets

428
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 3: in the end zone on his first first possession of

429
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,479
Speaker 3: the day. This is big time for the New York Giants.

430
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 3: It's been needing a quarterback for it seems like forever,

431
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 3: and they finally have got some life. And as soon

432
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 3: as they get some life, Malik Neighbors goes down with

433
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 3: what is you know, believed to be an ACL tear

434
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 3: out for the season.

435
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 4: I absolutely hate to see it, but you're a nit.

436
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 3: Show impressions on Jackson Dart in his debut today.

437
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 2: I thought he had a solid debut.

438
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: And you know, obviously all the online conversation about Russell

439
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: Wilson and what we said on Thursday night after he

440
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 1: was bench for Jackson Dart is the big story for everybody.

441
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: But you saw the way the New York Giants played,

442
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: not just offensively, not that Jackson Dart had some gaudy

443
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 1: numbers or you know, he went out there and lit

444
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: the world on fire. He just played solid football. He

445
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: used his legs when he needed to. He was sacked

446
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 1: six times. So it's not like the offensive line got

447
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: way better between the two quarterbacks. But you saw the

448
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: energy from the other side to the football. You saw

449
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: the defensive line. I mean, they have one of the

450
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: most talented defensive lines in the National Football League, but

451
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: you saw them getting after it. Obviously, the Chargers are

452
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: without Rashaun Slater and lost Joe early in his game.

453
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: Two of the best tackles in the National Football League.

454
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: You lose both of them. Any team that loses both

455
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,120
Speaker 1: their starting tackles is going to have a hard time.

456
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 1: This is not the team you want to be playing

457
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 1: against when you lose both to the starting tackles. And

458
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: I think that was evident. Brian Burns was all over

459
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: the place, Abdul Carter was all over to play sexy

460
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: Dex Lawrence bat it pass, intercepted, return it to the five.

461
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: They only end up getting the field goal out of that.

462
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 1: He if he would have tugged that, that would have

463
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,959
Speaker 1: been an incredible But even on special teams, they were

464
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: making plays on special teams. They were they were playing

465
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: with a renewed energy and swagger, and for them to

466
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,880
Speaker 1: play which an opponent, which which might have been their

467
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 1: toughest opponent of the year, with a rookie quarterback and

468
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: come out of there with the win was incredible. And

469
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: you could see this was a little this was kind

470
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 1: of kind of crazy, but you could see how Brian

471
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: Dabo responded. I don't know if you saw it, Mitchell,

472
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 1: but there was a clip of him and Jackson Dart

473
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: after the game and he was like head button him

474
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: and they were face to phase and hit and he

475
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: was just so excited with him, you know, so hype,

476
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: like they're gonna be doing this for a long time.

477
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: And you could just see the love and appreciation and

478
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 1: the belief and faith that he has in Jackson Dart

479
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: and I just don't remember him having that with Russell Wilson.

480
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: And now that's gonna start some speculation of its own, Mitchell,

481
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: because just the way Brian da Bole approached the game,

482
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: there were conversations. I think it was Connor Hughes who

483
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,239
Speaker 1: put out a video saying, you know, there was there

484
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: was two different playbooks.

485
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 2: And guys felt look like there were two different playbooks.

486
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: There was a playbook that Russell Wilson had and there

487
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 1: was a playbook that Jackson Dart that was for Jackson Dart.

488
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: And that's weird. That's I've never heard that in the NFL.

489
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: I never you hear about packages for guys, if a

490
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: young guy might have a zone read package or something

491
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 1: like that. But the way they were talking about it,

492
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 1: it was almost like, hey, they're not giving Russell Wilson

493
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 1: the full playbook, but they're giving Jackson Dart the full

494
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 1: playbook or vice versa.

495
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 2: You know, it was odd, odd thing to hear.

496
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 1: But I thought Jackson Dart for his first start against

497
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 1: a defense that's been playing really lights out in some

498
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: big games, some competitive games. They've played lights out against

499
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 1: a lot of good opponents. I thought he played well

500
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 1: thirteen for twenty one hundred eleven yards a TD and

501
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 1: ran for TD. I think for a rook that's nice.

502
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 1: That's solid, especially when you get sacked six times. They'll

503
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: play worse teams in the future. I think they played

504
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: the Saints next week, which isn't anything to sneeze that.

505
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 1: I think people underestimate the Saints because they've been losing,

506
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 1: but that defense has some guys that can go. But

507
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: I think that'll be a confidence builder. And I know

508
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: people were hesitant about day Bo's decision to play in

509
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: versus the Chargers. I think they kind of consider this

510
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 1: an automatical loss if he played Jackson Dart. And to

511
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: see them play all these games, They've played three games

512
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 1: on the season and the only win comes when the

513
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: rookie gets on the field against a really, really talented

514
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,640
Speaker 1: team that's well coached and playing well in the Chargers.

515
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 1: It's really cool. It's really cool. I enjoyed that for him.

516
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 1: I like that for day Ball. He saves his job

517
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 1: for another week. Hopefully, you know, they can have some

518
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 1: sustained success and the Giants stick with them.

519
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 3: Richard, I'm gonna ask you a tough question. What does

520
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 3: this say about Russell Wilson. The team comes out, you know,

521
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 3: first week without him as a starter and gets a win,

522
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 3: and it gets a very tough opponent. What does this

523
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,880
Speaker 3: say about Russell Wilson.

524
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: I'm not sure it says anything about Russell Wilson as

525
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 1: much as it says something about like new newt better.

526
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes people like the new toy and not

527
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: that it's like when you get a new car. It

528
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: could be a used car, it could be just a

529
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 1: different car than the car you've been driving, but there's

530
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: an excitement level. There's a fun about driving a different car.

531
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: It might not even be better than the car you've

532
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: been driving, but it's newer, it's different, it's fun. And

533
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 1: I think that's what guys feel when you're losing. You

534
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: just want to see something different. You just want to

535
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,360
Speaker 1: see a change. Maybe they were seeing things in practice

536
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: that we're exciting, you know, maybe the kid was making

537
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,719
Speaker 1: some plays. It was kind of like the Kansas City

538
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 1: Chiefs with Patrick Mahomes when they know everybody. They were

539
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,199
Speaker 1: talking about him so much in practice and everything he

540
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: was doing in practice, you kind of like knew eventually

541
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: they're gonna push Alex Smith out of here for some

542
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:11,160
Speaker 1: reason or another and play this kid because the team

543
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: has talked about him too much that the excitement, the

544
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: momentum is going too much.

545
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 2: And I think sometimes when you.

546
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: Have a guy sitting behind, especially a draft pick, no

547
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: matter what, it's gonna unless you have immediate success. So

548
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: unless Russell Wilson came out and won the first three

549
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,640
Speaker 1: four games, the pressure to play him from a coach

550
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: that's on the hot seat was gonna be immense. And

551
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 1: the only way he could guarantee that he saw Jackson

552
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: Dark play and he got to coach him and got

553
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:39,880
Speaker 1: to at least put him on the field and see

554
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: what he had was to make this decision.

555
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 2: So I don't know. I think it was just the.

556
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: Team, you know, the new, the new hotness, the new,

557
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: the new guy, and then the excitement that comes with that,

558
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 1: the new different thing, the unknown. And now I would

559
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: only guess that the momentum continues to grow from from

560
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: Giants fans in from everybody else.

561
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 3: With the first winning season, yeah, I mean, the momentum

562
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 3: is there. And you gotta love their draft class too.

563
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 3: Have Duel Carter has led all rookies with pressures on

564
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 3: the season. And then the running back Cam Skataboo. I mean,

565
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 3: this guy is made for New York football, absolute bowling ball,

566
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 3: all heart and hustle. At twenty five carries for almost

567
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,199
Speaker 3: eighty yards today. You know, you got to love to

568
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 3: see what they've done with this draft class. And there

569
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 3: is at least some hope for the New York Giants

570
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 3: going forward. Back to Russell quickly. Do you think that

571
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 3: he sticks with the team through the rest of the year.

572
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 3: Do you think they trade him? Do you think they

573
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 3: give him the courtesy and waive them so he can

574
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 3: go and sign with somebody like the Saints to continue starting, or.

575
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 4: What do you think is gonna go on with him?

576
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 2: I would have guessed they trade him. That would be

577
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 2: my first guess.

578
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: There are a lot of QB needy teams, and if

579
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 1: they feel like they have a chance late in the

580
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: season where they got to get enough roster and it's

581
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 1: just a quarterback away, you know, the natty bangles come

582
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: to mind right now, and and and or if somebody

583
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: gets hurt. You know, if somebody starter gets hurt and

584
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,719
Speaker 1: they need a veteran guy and they know Russell Wilson

585
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: can come in and make a difference, or or at

586
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: least continue to keep them on the track to get

587
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: where they think they're they're capable of getting. But I

588
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: think the Giants will try to get something for him.

589
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: I don't think they'll just trade them away for nothing.

590
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 1: I don't think they will release him for nothing. Maybe

591
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: if it's fast the trade deadline and a team loses

592
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 1: a quarterback. I think they'll do them that courtesy. But again,

593
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 1: just like today, Jackson Dirt get a little banged up,

594
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: and you needed Russell Wilson to come in.

595
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 2: And and and and play for a couple of snaps.

596
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: Not that Jameis Winston couldn't do that, but it would

597
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: take the right offer and and it would have to

598
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: benefit the Giants in a big way out the match.

623
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 3: Let's move on to what many would consider to be

624
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 3: the game of the week, one and two Kansas City

625
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 3: Chief Team hosting the one and two Baltimore Ravens. Both

626
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 3: all fans of football across the world have a lot

627
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 3: higher hopes for both of these teams than one and

628
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 3: two start. I think it's probably the biggest shocker in

629
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 3: the NFL. I guess you know news circuit right now

630
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 3: is the fact that both these teams are one and two,

631
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 3: and one of them is going to be one and

632
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 3: three leaving this game. Ultimately, it's the Baltimore Ravens. Richard,

633
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 3: is it safe to say that the Baltimore Ravens are

634
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 3: going to miss the playoffs statistically? And I know you're

635
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 3: a big statistics Guy, teams that start one in three

636
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 3: have approximately a fourteen percent chance of making the NFL postseason.

637
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 3: The Baltimore Ravens find themselves in that exact position at

638
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 3: one in three.

639
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 4: Do you see them missing the playoffs?

640
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 2: I don't think so, But if they did to, oh

641
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 2: my god, it's furniture going to be moving in Baltimore.

642
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 2: I can't imagine what that fan base is gonna do.

643
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 2: I can't imagine.

644
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 1: Obviously, that front office has been pretty stable and they've

645
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 1: been pretty consistent, so John Harball isn't going anywhere. But

646
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 1: you could see the frustration even after a couple losses,

647
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 1: and it's weird to just see them play without confidence

648
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: offensively after your Detroit Lions came in there. It's almost

649
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: like their shell shock. And you never see Lamar Jackson

650
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 1: play where he looks where he looks hurried or rushed

651
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 1: or panicky. He's not seeing the field.

652
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 4: Well.

653
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: He threw fo one hundred and forty seven yards a TD,

654
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: but he threw a interception in this game, and he

655
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 1: never looked comfortable. They only ran Derrick Henry eight times

656
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: in this ball game for forty two yards. That's not bad,

657
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: but again it doesn't look like they trust him. It

658
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: doesn't look like they trust him. He's fumbled in big moments,

659
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 1: but he's also been one of the most dominant running

660
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 1: backs in the last deck, so so I think there's

661
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: some internal strikes in there, but they're a veteran team.

662
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: They're gonna figure it out. Mahomes through for two seventy

663
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 1: and four touchdowns. He looked really good dominated this defense,

664
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 1: and I think that's where a lot of the turmoil

665
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: will start on the defensive side of the football. Obviously,

666
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: obviously they're playing without nom Day, not a Bouquet who's

667
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: one of their best players in a disruptor up front.

668
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: But you still got you still got guys in the

669
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 1: back end. Kyle Hamilton, Marlon Humphries that that should be

670
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 1: veteran guys that have played at a high level, that

671
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: that know that are all pros in this National Football

672
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: League who aren't playing to the level that they played

673
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 1: at in the past. And they gave up a lot

674
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 1: of points, they gave up a lot of yards in

675
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: this game, and it's uncharacteristic of a Baltimore Ravens defense.

676
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 1: So that's the more disappointing part is just like man

677
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 1: you guys aren't playing up to the standard that the

678
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 1: national public is used to the Baltimore Ravens up to.

679
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: It's it's not even like, hey, we're you're not playing

680
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: to an all pro level. It's just you know, when

681
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: you go watch the Baltimore Ravens play, you expect great

682
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:11,320
Speaker 1: defense and they're not playing it. Or you expect Lamar

683
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: Jackson to be dynamic and be dominant, or them to

684
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 1: hand them all off to Derrick Henry. But for them

685
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: to have between Lamar Jackson passing and Derrick Henry is

686
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:23,959
Speaker 1: rushing to be under two hundred yards, it's just I'm

687
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: not not something I thought we would see in a

688
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:29,840
Speaker 1: full game, especially against the Kansas City Chiefs, who have

689
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 1: a really good defense and spacks calls a great game,

690
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: but Derrick Henry and Lamar always gets theirs no matter what.

691
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,879
Speaker 1: So it's really disappointing. And it's probably a shell shock

692
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 1: for that team to start one and three, But I

693
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: think they'll respond and come back. They're in a weaker division,

694
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 1: and you know with the with the Cincinnati Bengals and

695
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 1: without Joe Burrow and the Cleveland Browns just lost to

696
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 1: your Detroit Lions and they have a great defense, but

697
00:34:55,160 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: struggling offensively Flacko with some really really head scratching interceptions to.

698
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 2: But no, I don't think they missed the playoffs.

699
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 3: What does this win say about the Kansas City Chiefs team, Richard,

700
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 3: this team.

701
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 4: It was like a lot.

702
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 3: Of the national media wrote them off and they said,

703
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 3: maybe this is a time that Kansas City just collapses.

704
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 3: Started one and two with an only win of the season,

705
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,800
Speaker 3: a very unimpressive showing against the New York Giants last week.

706
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 3: They come in this week and it's like they took

707
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 3: that personal and they wanted to show They wanted to

708
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 3: show to everyone that they're They're still here. There's still

709
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,280
Speaker 3: the same team that goes to the super Bowl every

710
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 3: single year. They look dominant today. They definitely showed me,

711
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 3: at least that there's still somebody that you got to

712
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 3: be very very serious about.

713
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 4: Long term.

714
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 3: I'm assuming they might make a showing in the top

715
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 3: five of Richard Sherman's power ranks here soon at some

716
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 3: point if they continue playing like this. But what is

717
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 3: a win, a statement win like this show to you

718
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 3: about the Kansas City Chiefs.

719
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 2: Well, they're a championship team. You know this reason. They've

720
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:03,359
Speaker 2: been in the Super Bowl five in the last six years.

721
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 1: So I'm not writing now. I told you I'm not

722
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 1: writing them off. I don't care what their record is.

723
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,240
Speaker 1: They could be they could be on in in six

724
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 1: on eight. I was still I don't know they're going

725
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 1: to run because they've shown that and they they have.

726
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 1: As long as they still have Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes,

727
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:25,240
Speaker 1: Travis Kelce, Chris Jones, Spags, they're gonna have a chance.

728
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 1: And uh Trent McDuffie is still still there playing good football.

729
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 1: Nick Bolton, the guys, they still have all the a

730
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,240
Speaker 1: lot of the pieces on the championship team. They'll get

731
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 1: Rashi Rice back. That'll be a big addition to their

732
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 1: to their offense. Xavier Worthy obviously came back and made

733
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 1: an impact today. Thornton was making an impact in instead.

734
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 1: They're still a team that can be very dangerous with

735
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 1: a quarterback who can be the best in the National

736
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:56,880
Speaker 1: Football League when he's on. And so no, I'm not

737
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 1: gonna count him out, and I wasn't gonna count him

738
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:02,399
Speaker 1: out in the first place. I still think whether they're

739
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 1: the one seed or the seventh seed, they're gonna be

740
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 1: a tough out in the playoffs and nobody wants good

741
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: and want to play.

742
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 2: You can be a dominant team like it could be

743
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 2: the whoever it is.

744
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 1: It could be the Buffalo Bills, and they feel really

745
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 1: good and they get the two seed or they get

746
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:22,320
Speaker 1: the one seed and they got to play the Kansas

747
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: City Chiefs in a divisional. If they're not gonna feel

748
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 1: great about that, I know they're not. It's gonna be nightmare.

749
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 1: It's gonna be traumatic. They're gonna have nightmares before the

750
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 1: game because of the history with Patrick Mahomes, and you

751
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 1: know how dangerous he can be. No matter how it

752
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 1: looked in the regular season. He's found a way. They've

753
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 1: found a way, they've game planned right, they've showed up

754
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 1: in big moments, and they found a way to win

755
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: when winning was needed. So no, I'm not counting out

756
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 1: to the Kansas City Chiefs, not me unless one of

757
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 1: those guys goes down with the season long injury or

758
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 1: something crazy. And even then I have a hard time.

759
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 1: I'm an knock on woo because I don't want that.

760
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,359
Speaker 1: Nobody in the football world does. But I think they're

761
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 1: gonna have a chance and they're gonna be dangerous in

762
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:00,839
Speaker 1: the postseason. I don't even talk about the Chiefs into

763
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 1: the postseason because of regular season. No matter, I don't know,

764
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 1: it's not gonna matter what they're seeded, They're gonna be

765
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 1: a tough out.

766
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 3: This AFC West Division is certainly looking like it's gonna

767
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 3: be a tight match all the way to the finish line. Obviously,

768
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:16,320
Speaker 3: with the Chargers losing today, we'll see how the Broncos

769
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 3: continue to play here. But the AFC North is we

770
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 3: just talked about it briefly with the Baltimore Ravens. But

771
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 3: you gotta look at the Steelers at some point here, Richard.

772
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 3: They're three and one now with Aaron Rodgers. They go

773
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 3: across the plan play in Ireland, our boy, big play slaves.

774
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,880
Speaker 3: Gotta be happy coming back to the US with the

775
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 3: w This is big time for them. And they get

776
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 3: a bye week and then they go to the they

777
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 3: play the Browns, the Bengals, and then their schedule gets

778
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 3: tough with the Packers and Colts. Theoretically, they should win

779
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 3: their next two games and be five and one. Do

780
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 3: you believe in the Pittsburgh Steelers team at three to

781
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:56,280
Speaker 3: one top of their division?

782
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 1: Yes, I do, and The big reason is Aaron Rodgers.

783
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: I know Aaron Rodgers, and I know he's looked rough

784
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 1: the last couple of years. He tore his achilles and

785
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 1: then he you know, was coming back. But he's still

786
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and he still has a way about him.

787
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf is starting to find his rhythm in this offense.

788
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 1: Aaron was an efficient eighteen of twenty two for two

789
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 1: hundred yards and a touchdown. In this game. Metcalf had

790
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 1: five catches for one to twenty six. You could see

791
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 1: the chemistry between those guys developing and strengthening. You could

792
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 1: see him hitting him on the pack, shoulder faith, the

793
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 1: one step hitches, just get getting him involved. Kenneth Gainwell

794
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 1: had almost one hundred yards today. He had two touchdowns.

795
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:39,360
Speaker 1: The defense had two interceptions and six sacks. And they

796
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 1: were the object of a lot of scrutiny early in

797
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 1: this season. And for them to go all the way

798
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 1: over there and everybody made a big deal about their

799
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 1: playing and the Minnesota Vikings had all the first class

800
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,840
Speaker 1: seats and a nice, super nice plane, and the Pittsburgh

801
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 1: Steelers rode over their old school. We getting here, how

802
00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 1: we get in, how we live and they played like that.

803
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 1: They played like hungry dolls. They chase, they chased, they

804
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 1: were aggressive, they were hungry.

805
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,879
Speaker 2: T J. Watt was making big impact plays. I thought

806
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 2: he almost well.

807
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 1: He ended up having an interception in the game, but

808
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 1: he had a number of plays where he made huge plays,

809
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 1: batting the ball down, sacks, pressures, things like that. I

810
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 1: think this team is getting back to where they need

811
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: to be and a bye week does nothing but helped

812
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 1: this veteran team. It looked like Jalen Rams he got

813
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: a little banged up, maybe a little hamstring strain. So

814
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 1: a week off and some rest will help him, you know,

815
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 1: help them get even healthier and be better when they

816
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 1: get back. But they're gonna be a tough, tough team.

817
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: They're gonna be a tough route than they've been in

818
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 1: the past. With all these veterans and Anon Rodgers at

819
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:50,800
Speaker 1: the helm, I think he and Tomlin are getting to

820
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 1: know each other. There was a moment in a game

821
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 1: where where Aaron wanted to go for it. Tomland obviously

822
00:40:56,520 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 1: wanted the points. He succumbed to what Aaron wants. They

823
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:04,439
Speaker 1: end up getting stopped on that play and it gave

824
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings a chance late in the game, and

825
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:09,800
Speaker 1: I think those are conversations. It's a great growing moment

826
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 1: for both both of them, but it's a growing moment

827
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,920
Speaker 1: in a win, which is much better and much easier

828
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:18,360
Speaker 1: to deal with than growing moments and losses. But I

829
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 1: think that just goes to the respect that Tomlin has

830
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 1: for Aaron Rodgers and what he's done in this league

831
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 1: and big play in it. They can be a splash

832
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,320
Speaker 1: play defense. There was a lot of splash plays today.

833
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 1: But on the other side, Carson Wentz threw for three

834
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:34,400
Speaker 1: fifty and two touchdowns. He threw the two interceptions and

835
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: ended up being coll seed. Justin Jefferson ten catches for

836
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: one twenty six. So again, Kevin O'Connor was going to

837
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:44,840
Speaker 1: have a tough decision when JJ McCarthy is healthy and

838
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,760
Speaker 1: ready to go because of how well Wins is running

839
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 1: this offense, not that it's perfect, not that it's perfect

840
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 1: by any means, because you know, he's taking sacks, he's

841
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 1: getting beat up, he's making mistakes to two interceptions, one

842
00:41:55,680 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 1: of them was tipped up. But he's been better than

843
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 1: McCarthy has been. He's been just a veteran in this offense,

844
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 1: hitting the guys that are there making the players are there.

845
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 1: There are some high misses that he had, but I

846
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 1: think that's gonna be a tough tougher decision for Kevin

847
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:13,439
Speaker 1: O'Connell than it would have been if he hadn't played

848
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:14,320
Speaker 1: as well as he's playing.

849
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, no question about it.

850
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 3: The Vikings are in unfamiliar territory and that's losing football games.

851
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 3: Were fourteen and three last year, this year they're two

852
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,760
Speaker 3: and two. They don't look like the same team without

853
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:29,439
Speaker 3: Sam Darnold, who's over in Seattle now, and like you've

854
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 3: mentioned a number of times, you thought it was a

855
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 3: mistake that they didn't bring him back, and I'm thinking

856
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 3: that the Minnesota fan base is probably starting to think

857
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 3: that same way. Sure, Carson Wentz steps up there and

858
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 3: has a good statistical game, but the reality is, you know,

859
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,879
Speaker 3: this doesn't look like the same Minnesota Vikings team. Let's

860
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 3: see if they can bounce back next week. It is

861
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 3: good to see Justin Jefferson getting more involved, though it

862
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 3: was a slow start to the year for him, but

863
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,800
Speaker 3: ten receptions for one to twenty six and they're gonna

864
00:42:56,800 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 3: stick over across the pond. They play in the London

865
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 3: next Sunday, Richard, what is your thoughts on.

866
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 2: That's just rude.

867
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 5: They put them in international two weeks in a row,

868
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 5: so they're they're sticking. They're sticking over there for another week.

869
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 5: I mean, do you think these these games are getting

870
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 5: out of hand? Like I like the fact that they're

871
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 5: doing them, you know in Brazil and South America, but

872
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:23,239
Speaker 5: like these nine thirty am Eastern Times starts. I mean,

873
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 5: let's be real, are you jumping out of bed at

874
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 5: six thirty in the morning Pacific time to flip on

875
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 5: a football game?

876
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 4: It just doesn't seem like real football when it's at early.

877
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 2: Well.

878
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 1: I definitely jumped out of the bin and watched it today,

879
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 1: and I actually enjoyed it. I enjoyed dk Metcalf's eighty

880
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 1: yard touchdown run. I enjoyed Aaron playing well and you know,

881
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 1: getting a rushing, rushing first down and then fumbling in

882
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 1: football and then laughing about it.

883
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:49,719
Speaker 2: I enjoyed it. It was fun. It was fun to see.

884
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:52,479
Speaker 1: But I would not enjoyed if I was a member

885
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:55,840
Speaker 1: of the Minnesota Vikings and I had to fly from

886
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 1: Ireland to London and be away from my family for

887
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 1: two weeks to play the game that we've been playing

888
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:07,320
Speaker 1: from home just to make people happy. I make international

889
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 1: folks happy, Like you could have another team like it,

890
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 1: give us a couple of weeks break and let us

891
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:12,320
Speaker 1: do it again.

892
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 2: But I don't know.

893
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:17,920
Speaker 1: I think they might have a little bit of advantage

894
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 1: if they're already over there and they get to spend

895
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:23,319
Speaker 1: a week in acclimate, but it's not it's negligible, you know,

896
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 1: whoever wakes up and is ready to go. The Minnesota

897
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 1: Vikings hadn't lost internationally until today when the Pittsburgh Steelers

898
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:33,360
Speaker 1: got them, so that was something. So maybe they have

899
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 1: a different understanding and agreement with the league and they

900
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 1: just know how to do it well. But that Brown's

901
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:41,840
Speaker 1: defense isn't anything to play with it, it's nothing to

902
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:45,319
Speaker 1: joke with after flag holes play. I'm not sure if

903
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 1: the Browns start to consider a change that quarterback potentially,

904
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 1: but their defense is still playing well. But I would

905
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 1: not appreciate that, Mitchell. I would not appreciate being international

906
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 1: two weeks in a row. I mean, I'm sorry, I'd

907
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 1: love you know. I'm more for growing the game and

908
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 1: all that, but like, let me.

909
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 3: Go home, Richard, before we wrap things up here, We

910
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:13,840
Speaker 3: got to just talk a little bit about Ashton Genty

911
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:16,400
Speaker 3: that the number six overall pick goes to play for

912
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 3: your former head coach Pete Carroll, and everyone's just kind

913
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:21,319
Speaker 3: of been waiting for him to break out. You've seen

914
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 3: kind of glimpses here and there. I think the statistic

915
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 3: was he had more yard rush yards after contact than

916
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 3: he did rushing yards. I want to say it was

917
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:30,879
Speaker 3: something like it was one for one. So this guy

918
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 3: was getting hit in the backfield all the time. They

919
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:35,920
Speaker 3: finally gave him some running lianes today to work with,

920
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,320
Speaker 3: and he showed why he was picked number six overall,

921
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:41,719
Speaker 3: going for one hundred and thirty eight yards and three touchdowns,

922
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:45,319
Speaker 3: one receiving or two receiving and one rushing. That's a

923
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 3: big deal for him. Unfortunately, the Las Vegas Raiders do

924
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:53,440
Speaker 3: not pull off the win. They go down in similar

925
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:56,680
Speaker 3: fashion to what we saw last week numerous times with

926
00:45:56,840 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 3: block field goals again rears itself today.

927
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:03,280
Speaker 4: Richard, what's the deal with all these block field goals?

928
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know. That's a great question.

929
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 1: Some of it is just offensive lines not being as

930
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 1: strong as they used to be and not being able

931
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:16,839
Speaker 1: to sustain against some of these stronger defensive linemen. Some

932
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:20,279
Speaker 1: of it is these corners timing it up well and

933
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 1: and that simple hand release tactic that most field goal

934
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:29,239
Speaker 1: teams use is predictable and sometimes they switch it up,

935
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:31,319
Speaker 1: but if you guess you're right and you time it right.

936
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 1: It seems like more and more teams are taking that

937
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 1: risk and going forward and guessing right. And that's just

938
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 1: what happened today. The Bears were able to block one

939
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:42,320
Speaker 1: and that's saved the game for them because if the

940
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:44,719
Speaker 1: Raiders make that field goal, they win that football game.

941
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:48,840
Speaker 1: So big win for the Bears. Tragic loss for the Raiders.

942
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:52,759
Speaker 1: But shout out to Ashton Genty, big run, big rush

943
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 1: yards today, three touchdowns.

944
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 2: Happy for the kid. Hat tip to the kid. He

945
00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:57,880
Speaker 2: deserves it.

946
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:00,120
Speaker 1: You know, he's been getting a lot of scrutiny and

947
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:02,560
Speaker 1: a lot of He's a bus, he's a bus conversation,

948
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:04,840
Speaker 1: so it's great to see him have some success.

949
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 2: Always happy to see that the Bills are four and

950
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 2: on now.

951
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 1: I'm not sure are they hitting shoulders above every other

952
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 1: team in the AFC?

953
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 2: I'm not sure, but Josh Allen gives him that advantage.

954
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 1: Like without Josh Allen though they're not, but they have

955
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, and he's the MVP, reigning MVP of the

956
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 1: National Football League, and so he's getting them over the top.

957
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 1: This game against the Saints was closer than it probably

958
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:36,919
Speaker 1: needed to be, but again, Josh Allen decided I don't

959
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:38,399
Speaker 1: want it to be that close anymore, and he took

960
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 1: over the game, made huge plays, showed that he's the difference.

961
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:46,280
Speaker 1: He's the gap between the next teams and the AFC,

962
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 1: and not that he's a greater quarterback than everybody else,

963
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:54,879
Speaker 1: but his team, for his team and what he needs

964
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:57,359
Speaker 1: to do, he's playing outstanding football and he's putting them

965
00:47:57,360 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 1: over the top. And I don't think there's a team

966
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 1: in the AFC better than them. I'm not sure they

967
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 1: won't go undefeated, because no team goes undefeated, but they're

968
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 1: gonna be a tough, tough team to beat consistently, especially

969
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 1: when they're playing in Buffalo. But yeah, I think they're

970
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:16,279
Speaker 1: the best team in AFC. I'm not sure if they're

971
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:18,960
Speaker 1: heading shoulders, and I don't think they're better than Philadelphia Eagles.

972
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:20,759
Speaker 1: If I'm if I had to, if you put a

973
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:22,359
Speaker 1: gun to my head today and ask me, I think

974
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles are a better team, and which is

975
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:26,400
Speaker 1: why they are one and two of my power rankings.

976
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 3: There you go, wow, we can get to three, four

977
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 3: and five later because I know we got some other

978
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 3: guys you have to play here, specifically the Green Bay Packers,

979
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:35,759
Speaker 3: who are on the cusp of your top five.

980
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 4: I know.

981
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:38,200
Speaker 3: Before we leave this, Richard, the quote of the day

982
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 3: comes from cam Ward of the Tennessee Titans. He was

983
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 3: asked about what they thought about his team, and he said,

984
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 3: if we keep it a buck right now, we're asked,

985
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 3: I mean, do you appreciate this candor for him or

986
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:53,279
Speaker 3: do you think he needs to kind of you think

987
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:54,320
Speaker 3: this is out of line.

988
00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 1: It's not out of line. It's just honesty from a quarterback.

989
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:04,960
Speaker 1: But his team isn't good enough overall. And so if

990
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:07,520
Speaker 1: this was a veteran team, a team like if he

991
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 1: was playing for the Minnesota Vikings and they were a

992
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:13,920
Speaker 1: fourteen win team last year and they just aren't playing

993
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 1: good and they've lost a couple of games, you can't

994
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:18,320
Speaker 1: say it, and the veterans aren't gonna allow you to

995
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 1: say it. And you're not perfect enough, you don't have

996
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:25,920
Speaker 1: the credibility to say it, and so I think that

997
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:29,439
Speaker 1: speaks to the point you got to have the credibility

998
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:33,760
Speaker 1: with great play. You know, all pro quarterbacks, all Pro players,

999
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:37,839
Speaker 1: super Bowl winners, guys that are established in this league,

1000
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:39,480
Speaker 1: they can say things like that. If Aaron Rodgers came

1001
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:40,920
Speaker 1: out and said, hey, we played like ass today, we

1002
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 1: played a crap. We got to be better than that.

1003
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:47,319
Speaker 1: It's Aaron Rodgers, four time MVP, Super Bowl champion. You're

1004
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:48,719
Speaker 1: not gonna be able to say much to him. If

1005
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 1: Tom Brady comes out and says it, if Matthew Stafford

1006
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:53,719
Speaker 1: comes out and says it again, they have credibility. When

1007
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:56,319
Speaker 1: you're a rookie quarterback, you know, although you were the

1008
00:49:56,320 --> 00:50:00,000
Speaker 1: first pick in the draft, I don't think you can

1009
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,279
Speaker 1: and get away with saying that without ruffling feathers in

1010
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:05,920
Speaker 1: your locker room because because they're betteran guys.

1011
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:07,600
Speaker 2: Sure, it's not going your way right now.

1012
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 1: You've lost three games, You've played the Rams, the Broncos,

1013
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 1: and you just lost to the Colts a division loss,

1014
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:25,919
Speaker 1: and then you lose this game. So sure you could say, hey,

1015
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:27,920
Speaker 1: we're not playing very well right now, but saying it

1016
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:32,360
Speaker 1: that way it capsulates the whole team. And that's it.

1017
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:34,759
Speaker 1: That's the mistake. As a quarterback. You have to say,

1018
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:37,520
Speaker 1: I'm not playing good enough right now, and it sucks

1019
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:40,239
Speaker 1: because even if you feel like you are playing good enough.

1020
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:43,799
Speaker 1: That's the responsibility the quarterback has. That's the leadership. That's

1021
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:46,200
Speaker 1: all the things you talk about from great quarterbacks. You say, hey,

1022
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 1: this is on me. I got to play better. There's

1023
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:50,120
Speaker 1: some things I can do to put my teammates in

1024
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:53,320
Speaker 1: better positions to win the football game. I'm going to

1025
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:55,319
Speaker 1: go back to the drawing board, study the tape and

1026
00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 1: see what we can do better. But this is a

1027
00:50:57,080 --> 00:51:00,319
Speaker 1: frustrating feeling right now to not play up to the

1028
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:03,359
Speaker 1: standard that we know where capable of. But we'll get

1029
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 1: back to it next week. We'll plush this one and

1030
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 1: get back to the drawing board. That's all you gotta say.

1031
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:09,760
Speaker 1: That's all you gotta say. You can't say. You can't

1032
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:13,279
Speaker 1: say that because you're the leader of the team and

1033
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 1: you're the voice of the team. And when you say that,

1034
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:17,879
Speaker 1: you piss other guys off. Were like, I'm playing well,

1035
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 1: I'm playing hard. I'm doing my job. And if you

1036
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:22,600
Speaker 1: maybe you did your job, then you know, then you

1037
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:24,600
Speaker 1: start to get the finger pointing and it starts to

1038
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:27,600
Speaker 1: tear locker room apartmental So you can't be careful with that,

1039
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:29,400
Speaker 1: young camp Well Richard.

1040
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:32,960

1045
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:46,359
Speaker 1: to play better than that, and they will play better
