1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: And off Avery and on second and one, stutter steps

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: to the lap from the first down to the fot

3
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: Jenny structs into the end zone. John Brown forty five

4
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: morning shoots fine Monderland hits Onner thirty twenty. Touchdown caught

5
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 1: Michael Floyd thirty twenty in sign of fifteen and into

6
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: the ends. Touchdown. Tendy takes us out, looks up to

7
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: the right, straight up to the left. Why touchdown? Fu games?

8
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: Bridgewater steps up, gets hit the false bubble, Let's loose

9
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: to the thirty seven yards Live. The Cardinals were covering

10
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: Dwight Freeney with another big play in what should be

11
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame career forces The sack sends the

12
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 1: team of the Around the NFL podcast to the playoffs.

13
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals beat Minnesota twenty three to twenty on another

14
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: entertaining Thursday night football game. I'm Greg Rosenthal. I'm here

15
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: with Chris Wesseling the Mailman. We are going to get

16
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: to Dan Handas and Mark and Amber Theo Harris and

17
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: review or preview rather all the week fourteen games. But

18
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: first Cardinals. Tough time on Thursday night. They but they

19
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: pull it out. Yeah, I think They're the deepest team

20
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: in the league, but this game was all about their

21
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 1: star power. Carson Palmer breaks Kurt Warner's single season franchise

22
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: record for touchdowns. Larry Fitzgerald welcomes Vikings safety Anthony Harris

23
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: with a brutal pancake block that springs Michael Floyd for

24
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: a forty two yard touch the block of the year,

25
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,559
Speaker 1: block of the year. Floyd goes over a hundred yards

26
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: for the fourth time in five games. On the other

27
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: side of the ball, Klais Campbell dominant line of scrimmage.

28
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: Tyron Matthew was blitzing as a menace on runs and passes.

29
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: Patrick Peterson shuts down stefon digs. Really a star power

30
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: performance for the Cardinals. Well, you say they're defined by

31
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: their depth, and I totally agree. For instance, guys like

32
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: Tony Jefferson had a big play on Thursday night. But

33
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: it's the depth of star power. I mean, how many

34
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: teams have that many guys that the rest of the

35
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: country knows And if they don't know Klais Campbell, they

36
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: should because because he's great, all of those guys can

37
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: win a play, win the game. On a couple of

38
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: plays in Dwight Freeney is not a guy you really

39
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: expect to do that. At this point, the Cardinals don't

40
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: really have a one on one pass rusher that's consistent.

41
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: That's why they're twenty five and sacks despite blitzing more

42
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: than just about any team in the league. But when

43
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: it came down to it, he beats Matt Khalil on

44
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: a play that a lot of people probably believe Mike

45
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: Zimmer and the Vikings should not have run thirteen seconds left.

46
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: Do you think they should have just kicked a field

47
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 1: goal right there and tried to send it into overtime.

48
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,119
Speaker 1: I do. With an inexperienced quarterback, I think the chance

49
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: of a turnover is just too great. If I had

50
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer or a similar style veteran quarterback, I have

51
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: no problem with a third down pass in that situation. Yeah,

52
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: and they and they talked to him. I mean they

53
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: said they basically, you can't you can't take a sack,

54
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: you can't leave it in the middle of the field.

55
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: And at first I thought that's not really on Bridgewater,

56
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 1: But then when he rewatched the play, he does have

57
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: enough time to get rid of it. Since the pressure

58
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: he does double pump a little bit, and it's unfortunate

59
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: because I think Teddy Bridgewater played a really strong game.

60
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: He showed a lot of the attributes that we really

61
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: liked from him last year in terms of poise and

62
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: his heavy play, and I think it was his best

63
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: game since Week two set a career high with three

64
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 1: year in thirty five passing yards. I thought he really

65
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: dealt with the blitz well and he seemed to see

66
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: the field better than he has in weeks. Well, let's

67
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: be honest, we thought the Vikings were gonna get steamroll there.

68
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: It was a good performance from him. They they played

69
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: like a team I think that that needed to win more.

70
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: Eight and four coming off the most embarrassing performance they

71
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: had all year by far, and I think they responded

72
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: really well and they could have won this game. They

73
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: had three fumbles, one of them by Adrian Peterson on

74
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: a reverse that really slowed one drive's momentum. They were

75
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: able to move the ball well all night. They ended

76
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: up about tied in total yardage with the Cardinals, but

77
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: they couldn't finish drives. Yeah, and I think it's impressive

78
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: that the Cardinals now have eleven wins in back to

79
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: back seasons for the first time in their history, and

80
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: they they've been around as as long as any franchise

81
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: in the NFL N E twenty. Bruce Arians said after

82
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: the game, when the records start following the season speaks

83
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: for itself to me. The one hesitation I have is

84
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: that the same problems that kind of started to rear

85
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 1: their head in September are still there. A lot of

86
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: missed opportunities. That David Johnson drop on the goal line

87
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: caused them to have a field goal instead of a touchdown.

88
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer gets pushed out of field goal range with

89
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: a sack, and then a third down throw that Larry

90
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,559
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald almost made a spectacular catch on would have sealed

91
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: the victory. Instead, the Vikings are allowed to try for

92
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: the game uh, game tying drive. So those problems in

93
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: the fact that you mentioned earlier, they don't have a

94
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: one on one pass rusher. They have to blitch too much,

95
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: So those problems are kind of you know, they won

96
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: the game. They're eleven and two, they're the most well

97
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: balanced team in the NFL, but there are a couple

98
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: of issues that could get them. Yeah, they're they're the

99
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: only team that's the top five offense and defense. They're

100
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: finding ways to win games even when they're not at

101
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: their very best. And I I give more credit to Minnesota,

102
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: I really do in this game than I do worry

103
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 1: about the Cardinals. I was impressed with Minnesota's ephyort because

104
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: because really from the first minute of the game, uh,

105
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: they were in it. Their their lines for the most part,

106
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: played pretty well. Adrian Peterson looked insanely good on that

107
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: first drive and then really didn't do much the rest

108
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: of the game. So you have to give credit to

109
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: Campbell for shutting them down. But these were just two teams,

110
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: uh that I think now the Vikings have to feel

111
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: good that at least they could maybe take care of

112
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 1: business in their next couple of weeks against the Bears

113
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: and the Giants, and if they win both those games,

114
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: they they should be in the playoffs. Yeah. I think

115
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: it's an encouraging games for the Vikings, even with the loss.

116
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: You're playing without your three best defensive players, and Teddy

117
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: Bridgewater has his best games since probably September, so that's encouraging.

118
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: And then for the Cardinals, my face part of the

119
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: game was Red Bryant, who was just signed off the

120
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,359
Speaker 1: Street two weeks ago, was really rallying the defensive troops.

121
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: Was the already the leader. And then you take a

122
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: guy like Dwight Freeney, who was also signed off the

123
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 1: street in October. To me, the Cardinals are picking up

124
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: these leaders anticipating the super It's a cool team. I mean,

125
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: we hit a home run picking this as the team

126
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: of the Round the NFL Podcast. They can clinch the

127
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: NFC West if the Seahawks happened to lose on Sunday.

128
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: If not, they'll try to clinch next week. That's the

129
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: Thursday night game. Let's preview the rest of the week

130
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: four teen games and send it over to Dan. Do

131
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: you Around the NFL Podcast Never touches an official Welcome

132
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: back to another edition of the Around the NFL Podcast.

133
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: My name is Dan Hansas, and I am joined by

134
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: a room filled with heroes, Mark Sessler, Chris Westling, and

135
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: Greg Rosenthal. What is up? Boys? I agree with that drop.

136
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: That is accurate. I thought it was heading towards something,

137
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: maybe a little rude, like never like saw a girl

138
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: or something. I thought it was going to head towards

139
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: that down that road, which you know would have been rude.

140
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: But it wasn't. I don't even remember what it was anymore. Well,

141
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: we've never touched an official, according to the to Matt

142
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: money Smith, which is true for me. I don't know

143
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: about Greg and West. I've never physically assaulted an official.

144
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: You've just touched them, though, I'd like to get in

145
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: the same room with the competition committee. I did ask

146
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: Dean Blandino a question from about a foot or two way,

147
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: but I don't think we shook hands or anything. So

148
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: I don't think I've touched Connor or and I talked

149
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: with Dean Blandino for about an hour at the owner's meetings.

150
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: Great guy. Actually, do you know Blandino? I will say

151
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: that it's not gonna be a popular thing to say,

152
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: but he because he's in a tough spot now. When

153
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: when they started having Dino on uh, it felt real

154
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: and felt transparent. But now that since the rules, you know,

155
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: we're under assault uh the officials, he's he's now the

156
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: face of that league officials. That's right. Never mind, I

157
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: think Dean is doing a great I think I was

158
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: on party line there are you? But actually, do belie.

159
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: I think Dean is doing the best. He's got a

160
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: bad situation. You explain the catch roll every week. It's

161
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: gotta be the hardest job in sports. UM. A big

162

Speaker 1: show coming up today. It is our Thursday late uh

163

Speaker 1: late Thursday early Friday preview show. You just heard at

164
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:31,559
Speaker 1: the top West and Rosenthal. They call him the West

00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: and Rosenthal team. That's the name of Catchy. Uh talk

00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 1: to you about the Thursday night football matchup between the

167
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: Vikings and the Cardinals. So we got that one done.

168
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: But we have thirty two teams, sixteen games one's been

169
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 1: played to talk about. I can't get that wrong. No,

170
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,719
Speaker 1: the math is gonna be the same the rest of

171
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 1: the season, although gonna get tricky in the playoffs, although

172
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 1: their eyes now Thursday night game in week sev and

173
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: we a couple of Saturday night games coming up. But

174
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: that's I'm already sweating thinking about it. But I just

175
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: want to say Greg off the time. We got a

176
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: couple of things we got to talk about in the show, Greg,

177
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: but one thing, because I listened to our last show,

178
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: we're talking about embarrassing UM singles purchases and how we

179
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:16,839
Speaker 1: were in the trust tree and not to you know,

180
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: keep it real. We won't make fun of each other

181
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: upon further review, The Cyrus thing was a little lame

182
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: because that was kind of it's kind of hips three actions.

183
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: I was just trying to give you an extra one

184
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: because I thought you guys wouldn't like it or whatever

185
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: that came across his boastful almost exactly. It was like, well,

186
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: you know, fine, then I could have just stuck, which

187
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: was fine. Yeah, you did offer us a late period.

188
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 1: It was the It's the one that I've been made

189
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 1: fun of the most in my house. That's sure. My

190
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: wife has not been in a no shame zone. She

191
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: has shamed me for that one many times. Well you've

192
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: been through a lot. Well, you guys are even now

193
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: since Greg lampooned your live selection right off the bat.

194
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: And that's right. I kept it real. I gave like

195
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,599
Speaker 1: five examples. All of them were embarrassing, maybe except for

196
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: garden State, but even garden State. Garden State, Right, Yeah,

197
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: you did the same thing. You just turned it around

198
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: and made it. You know, look at me, I'm a

199
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: cool hipster music. How is that a cool hipster? No

200
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: one thinks progressive girl, dorky white guy listens to Miley

201
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: Cyrus and car. What a cool guy in the car

202
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 1: got that got the windows up cranking record. I was

203
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: embarrassed for Greg. Thats exactly what I'm speaking to a

204
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: younger audience. You've lost touch what I mean, what are

205
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: we talking about? You're saying that you even embarrassing if

206
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 1: no one's even never heard of climbing up the common

207
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: man rankings again getting a Strawberry truck. So yeah, we

208
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: got all the games to get to. We're gonna have

209
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: a guest. The first time guest, Um Amber Theo Harris

210
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: from NFL Network will stop by in preview a couple

211
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: of games. So let's get to it. Boys, you wanna

212
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,599
Speaker 1: talk about some football games? Oh yeah, alright, let's do it.

213
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: Let's start with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Really, uh, you know,

214
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: if you want to talk about flavor of the week

215
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: right now, and I guess deservedly so you can say

216
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: everyone very high on the Steelers as not just a

217
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:08,959
Speaker 1: team that is going to claim a playoffs, but but

218
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: could do some real damage in the postseason if and

219
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: when they get there. They head to Cincinnati to face

220
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: the Bengals. The Bengals have a chance at tendant to

221
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 1: to clinch the a f C North of the Wind,

222
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: but the Steelers at seven and five need this game.

223
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: So there's a level of I'm gonna say a little

224
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: desperation involves going seven, seven and six in the a

225
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: f C playoff picture is a very tough uh road

226
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:34,839
Speaker 1: to sled if you get to that point. So the

227
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: Steelers need this game. The Bengals could probably survive without it. Uh.

228
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: And then you factor in Chris Wesling Ben Roethlisberger playing

229
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: at an absolute monster level. Greg and I were tweeting

230
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: about this the other night. I was up late and

231
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,839
Speaker 1: watching rewatching the Colt Steelers game because we do the

232
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: podcast while the Sunday night game is on, and Big Ben.

233
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 1: I know Greg has said nobody's playing better than Russell Wilson,

234
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 1: but Ben's right there with him. This is the hottest

235
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,439
Speaker 1: offense the NFL has seen since the nineteen eight two

236
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: Eric Corey Yell Chargers with Dan Fouts, West Chandler, Charlie Joyner,

237
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: all those guys. But loved watching those guys. Who was

238
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: that last guy? I was three? I believe they had

239
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: John Jefferson, they had Chuck Muntz, the other guy, Wes

240
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: West Chandler. Could this offense be anymore explosive? Nice? Friends,

241
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 1: Chandler Band got it. Well. I think Mark Mark just

242
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: not a fan, even though he was a big Friends guy.

243
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:32,959
Speaker 1: I just thought you would be a little more, not

244
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: a big Friends guy. And I like Friends. I liked

245
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 1: one or two members quite a bit, but I'm not

246
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: I wouldn't call myself a huge fan of the show.

247
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,319
Speaker 1: I think I've watched an episode and you are. You

248
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 1: are the only Phoebe die Hard I know her. All right,

249
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: let's get back to the games. Well, I think Antonio

250
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 1: Brown and Mark Davis Bryant, We've said this before, the

251
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: most dynamic duo in the league. And then Marcus Sweet

252
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: and finally developing a rapport with Big Ben. He had

253
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,319
Speaker 1: been among the biggest the enigmas in the league. Two

254
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: are in fifty yards, twelve catches and three and two

255
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: touchdowns over the past two weeks. That's it's almost unfair

256
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,839
Speaker 1: if he develops into the guy that they thought he

257
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,719
Speaker 1: could be. If you add him into the mix and

258
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: all three of those guys are healthy as his Big Ben,

259
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: who's gonna stop it? Who's gonna cover? I don't care

260
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: what secondary, I don't care what defense you are, even

261
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: if you're the Broncos are you going to cover these guys.

262
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 1: It reminds me of the their former coordinator's team, the

263
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals. I mean, they're they've they'ven the last couple

264
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: of years, have added even more weapons on top of

265
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 1: their previous weapons. And what about D'Angelo Williams. He thought,

266
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,959
Speaker 1: without Levi on Bell, the Steelers are gonna lose their

267
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: most dynamic player outside of Big Ben, and it's gonna

268
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: freeze the run game. And he's such a great pass catcher.

269
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: D'Angelo Williams has been awesome. He caused Chris Collinsworth two

270
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: involuntarily yell wow on back to back play Sunday night,

271
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 1: and he has been incredible on the same day. In

272
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: this offseason, c J. Spiller in D'Angelo Williams were signed,

273
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: and you would have never guessed that c J. Spiller

274
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: would be behind Tim Hightower on the depth chart, while

275
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: D'Angelo Williams is a legitimate top ten running back right now.

276
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 1: Maybe he's got a great first maybe his long speed

277
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: isn't as good as when he was in his mid twenties,

278
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: but I don't really even know. But as you said,

279
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: he's wildly patient, right he he waits, he is the

280
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: offensive line gets credit, but they shouldn't get all the credit.

281
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: Some of the plays where Collins word said, Wow, there

282
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: is a free rusher right at D'Angelo Williams that has

283
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: nothing to do with the offensive line, and he makes

284
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: that first guy miss. He has been outrageously good. And

285
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: you mentioned that no secondary can cover this team. This

286
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: Bengal secondaries banged up, and I think that's that's trouble.

287
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: How about this. The entire around the NFL team, all

288
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: five of us, not Greg, Greg quit on us. I

289
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: would take the Burlap sack of shame for Greg. We

290
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: all picked the Steelers. Fan consensus has the Cincinnati Bengals,

291
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: but we believe the Steelers will tighten up the A.

292
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: I will take the Steelers for the rest of the year. Yeah,

293
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: and I took the Steelers, and I feel pretty good

294
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: about their offense. But I know this isn't my role.

295
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: But we respect the Bengals way too much on that. Yeah. Well,

296
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: and by the way, also that none of us even

297
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: had him in the playoffs before the I know well,

298
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: And we love the Steelers every time we have a

299
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: chance to love the Steelers. And Burton Michael Berger, who

300
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: has been on our show before you said this, Uh,

301
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: this game doesn't necessarily mean that much to the Bengals.

302
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: He thought it's their biggest regular season game of his lifetime,

303
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: which is a fan type of thing to say. But

304
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: I know what he means. They really desperately want that

305
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: buy and they desperately do not want to win a

306
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: home lose a home game to the to the Steelers.

307
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: All right, good luck, Burger. You know yeah, you're saying

308
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. No, let's move on. Uh. The Atlanta

309
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: Falcons free falling out into nothing, head to Charlotte to

310
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: face the Panthers. Uh. The Falcons once upon a time

311
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: for five and oh, Now they are six and six

312
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: and need to make some things happen to avoid an

313
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: embarrassing collapse out of playoff. Out of the playoff picture.

314
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: The Panthers, of course, twelve and oh and Greg, Uh,

315
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: I know you are a big Matt Ryan fan, but

316
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: when it comes down to it that he doesn't have

317
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: the weapons and the Panthers are just too good to

318
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: to lose this game, right, there's no reason to think

319
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: that the Panthers are gonna have they're let down in

320
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 1: this week. I think it made it made sense on

321
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: some level that a couple of bad things go against

322
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: them against the Saints and you're in the super Dome

323
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: and Drew Brees makes a couple of plays in the

324
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: second half. I can't see the Falcons being overly competitive

325
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: in this game. I don't think Matt Ryan's been as

326
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: bad as you make them out to be. Uh, play

327
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: to play. He keeps having these backbreaking picks at the

328
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: end of games, which everyone's gonna remember when, especially when

329
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: they see the highlights. He's been fine. He just hasn't

330
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: been a difference maker in a positive way at all

331
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: for them. They just don't look extremely comfortable in this offense.

332
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: But that Bucks game I didn't watch until recently, and

333
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: I came out after our last podcast thinking they must

334
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: have been terrible, and they really just came within a

335
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: play where they couldn't tackle Jamis Winston of probably winning

336
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: that game. Well, that's every week. That's every week, and

337
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: they've been in all these games. But they're not a

338
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,439
Speaker 1: terrible football team, probably just a seven and nine, eight

339
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 1: and eight type. I think they're a six and six team,

340
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,880
Speaker 1: and it's just they've they've approached it a really weird

341
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: way that's made him look bad, but really they're kind

342
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,360
Speaker 1: of where they should be. There was a three play

343
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: sequence last week where I thought was telling for Matt

344
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: Ryan season. Julio Jones slips on a ball that would

345
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 1: have gone for a first down. They throw deep to

346
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,640
Speaker 1: Jacob Tammy, who was one of the most slowest moving

347
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: tight ends in the league, and then, uh, they're small

348
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: school sixth round pick or whatever. Justin Hardy can't come

349
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 1: up with a possession receiver ball on third down that

350
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: they really just landed in his hands. And this is

351
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 1: who Matt Ryan's working with right now. When that slow

352
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 1: moving tight end is your second best target, you're not

353
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: gonna do much on offen. It seems like his third

354
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: option every play is is Patrick DeMarco, Right, you know,

355
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: Brian schofields like the most dynamic player in their front seven.

356
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: This is what we said going into you know, they

357
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: really only have four or five above average starters on

358
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: the entire roster. Um Connor or is you know, he's

359
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: part of our picks and we have another media or

360
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 1: another group within the newsroom that we as a group

361
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 1: go against picks head to head and the winner has

362
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,239
Speaker 1: to buy dinner and drinks at the end of the season. Uh,

363
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: it is the uh what's the name of that group, Well,

364
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 1: the form they don't like to be called that. Well,

365
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: they create our long form content. And then you throw

366
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: in John Marvel who oversees that, and he's part of

367
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: the shadow original content, the original contents. Even call them

368
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,439
Speaker 1: that if you want. How about that anyway? Uh? Connor

369
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: Or has picked against the Panthers eleven out of twelve

370
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 1: weeks this season. An idiot, and he's he could cost

371
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: those dinner and drinks, so we might have to you know,

372
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: you picked him against him this week too. This Panthers

373
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: offense is putting up people now, don't even notice this

374
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 1: putting a five yards a game. Suddenly the offense is

375
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: almost as explosive and dominant as the defense is. They're phenomenal.

376
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 1: It's not a good pick. This isn't the week the

377
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 1: Panthers are gonna lose. I wouldn't think so. Yeah, alright,

378
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: moving on. Uh. The Washington Redskins, coming off a dispiriting

379
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 1: home loss to the Cowboys on Monday night, now travel

380
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 1: to Soldier Field for a game against the Bears. Uh

381
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: to five and seven teams Mark Sessler, Uh, you know

382
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 1: the Redskins have a lot to play for. The Bears

383
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: basically need to win out and hope for a miracle. Uh,

384
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: your thoughts on this game? Well, I mean we got

385
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 1: the Redskins team that allowed the entire you know, system

386
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,239
Speaker 1: to collapse upon them on Monday nights. So they'll win

387
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: this game. That's what they do. They they flip flop wins.

388
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: And I mean with Washington, I don't know what what

389
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: what do you say about it? The team at this point,

390
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 1: there's nothing consistent to say about them because it doesn't

391
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: translate from I actually I sort of disagree. I think

392
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 1: they're the most consistent team in the NFCS. They're just

393
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: they are what they are? What what is what is

394
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: a most consistent team in the NFC East. It's a

395
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: team that tries to go on these long drives, has

396
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: struggles to get the running game going each week. You

397
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: pretty much know what you have. And Kirk Cousins, he's

398
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: mostly limiting mistakes, but he's not gonna make any throws

399
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: that beats you. It's a average defense and there are

400
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: six seven win type of team. I guess what I

401
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,360
Speaker 1: mean is like that's not consistent, but they's just that's

402
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: just mediocre. But they're they're more or less the same

403
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: team every week. Now, they get blown out by good teams,

404
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 1: and they win some big games against some bad teams

405
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 1: where things go their way. But that game against the Cowboys,

406
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 1: I guess my point is, I don't think it was

407
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: unrepresentative of who they are as a team. Well, I

408
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 1: don't think we're saying that. I think that's just that there.

409
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,199
Speaker 1: You can't count on them to be the same thing

410
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 1: every week, and my I don't know, that's my opinion.

411
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: I feel that they overachieved some weeks and then the

412
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 1: next week they can't handle a game that should absolutely win.

413
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 1: You could say that about every NFC East team. Yeah,

414
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: because the Bears, uh gold standards Cousin Eddie Goldman second

415
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 1: round pick nose tackle, two sacks last week, was crashing

416
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 1: the pocket. The whole game blocked an extra point building

417
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 1: block for Vic Fongio's defense. Well, if you if he watches,

418
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,719
Speaker 1: and obviously he will, that the Cowboys game, I mean,

419
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,479
Speaker 1: they really sent a lot of blitzes at Kirk Cousins.

420
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: He did not handle them very well. I saw some

421
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: criticism that Cousins was not changing to play enough at

422
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. So you would think that Fandio,

423
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: who loves to be creative, is going to make things

424
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,400
Speaker 1: hard on an offensive line that's been been pretty bad,

425
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: and this this offense has been pretty bad. That touchdown

426
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: they scored was the first touchdown they had scored in

427
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: nine almost ninety minutes of action in a game and

428
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: a half. That was the they had six points. Kirk

429
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 1: Cousins is not a terrible quarterback. I mean he's he's

430
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: the middle of the road type guy, but you gotta

431
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: pair him with a running game to have a shot.

432
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: And Alfred Morris and Matt Jones, two guys you would

433
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 1: think would team up to be a good tandem, averaging

434
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: three and a half yards of carry between the two

435
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: of them. Alfred Morris doesn't even scored a touchdown, Matt

436
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: Jones has three. I mean, this is not a running

437
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: They're not getting the compliment in the running game, and

438
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: you're putting too much on Kirk Cousins. It's not a

439
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: good recipe for success. They want to be a ground

440
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,640
Speaker 1: and pound team, but they don't have the offensive line

441
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: or yeah to pull it off. Williams is a Pro

442
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: Bowl left tackle, but the other four spots are a problem. Uh, West,

443
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: you took the Redskins, the rest of us took dub

444
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 1: Bears nailed it, home run, jogging around the bases. Everyone happy.

445
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 1: Moving on the next one PM game to San Francisco.

446
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:23,919
Speaker 1: Forty Niners travel to Cleveland to face the Browns. The Browns,

447
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 1: of course, two and ten. Not much cooking. They're the Niners,

448
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: UM four and eight. Two teams playing out the string,

449
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,439
Speaker 1: coaches trying to keep their jobs. Uh. Not a lot

450
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: to say about this game. I will tell you something

451
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: happened if you want to get excited. A couple of things.

452
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 1: First of all, Johnny Menzel playing so it gives the

453
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,640
Speaker 1: game a little juice. Uh. He had a quote this week.

454
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: I was forced to learn a hard lesson Mark. How

455
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: many times have we heard a quote like that from

456
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: Johnny Menzel since last May? That's his version of accountability

457
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: and you're not impressed by it? Mark? Why should I be?

458
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: That's not at all could being accountable? I mean, I

459
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: don't want to you know what. I think We've said

460
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: everything on Tuesday and this week that we need to

461
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 1: say about. We'll talk about Johnny on Sunday night. Mark

462
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 1: has reached the point he is tired of this story.

463
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 1: At one point yesterday Austin Are editor on the DEA

464
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: suggested a man's l post of you know, because different

465
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: parts of his quotes came out that made him look bad,

466
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: and at that point Mark was just like, I've had it.

467
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: I'm I'm through with Well, someone else can have their

468
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 1: take put out there. I've already written about this guy's

469
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: seven hundred and fifty times at this point. The biggest

470
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:38,719
Speaker 1: news to come out of Cleveland on Thursday, tight end

471
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:44,360
Speaker 1: Gary Bonnage signed a three year extension with the Browns,

472
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: keeping the veteran tight end in business with Cleveland. Uh,

473
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: this is great news. While say this, go look at

474
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 1: what Jordan Cameron's doing in Miami, and then you asked

475
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 1: who's playing the better? Cameron is not having a good

476
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 1: season and Barnage has been dynamic for Cleveland. I'm Gary Barnish.

477
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: When the Browns called, I thought they was taking the piss,

478
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: but they were serious. Mega mate, call me moms straightaway,

479
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,479
Speaker 1: Mega deal by the Browns, Mega mad for it. I'm

480
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: the richest bloke I know over the moon, not what

481
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: I Maine. I'm Quid's in mate, quids in I don't

482
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: know what that means. But Gary Barne on Pace two,

483
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,199
Speaker 1: I believe break the Browns tight end record set by

484
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 1: Azie Knewsome for most receiving yards in the season. Not

485
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: a bad deal either. The report was it could be

486
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: north of twelve million for three years. So that's that's

487
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,719
Speaker 1: a very low quids in very for a starting tight end,

488
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:41,880
Speaker 1: so barely making right now, he's making a lot lot less.

489
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 1: I mean he won't make more. He'll make him three

490
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 1: years with dayne Bow makes it one going to the

491
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: boozer collecting, Johnny Monzel going on the piss, gonna get

492
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: legless some quids in mate les huh, legless. I get it.

493
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: You think this is a good move because you can

494
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 1: keep this bit going a couple of get it. Gary

495
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 1: Barnage was going to sign a big deal. We need

496
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 1: to get Gary Barnage on the podcast. He's not gonna

497
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 1: sound anything like you think he sounds. Well, we just

498
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: to make sure first of all, because I need to

499
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 1: hear it. I know it's quote unquote is from Kentucky

500
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: or something. Don't buy it. And if if he is

501
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: indeed American, I want to hear his accent. Well, we

502
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: sitting here, someone who's quite close with him. Yeah, Fabriano

503
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: said he's buddies with him. He's like, oh you guys,

504
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: you guys ever talked to Gary? Great guy? Yeah, but

505
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: Fabs and I love Fabs. I sit next to him.

506
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: He's a nice guy. But fab is one of those

507
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: guys that says everybody's his buddy. So I don't know

508
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: if it's actually true or not. They have they have,

509
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: That's not what that is about. I'm just they have

510
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 1: hosted events together. They do have a genuine relationship from

511
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: what I can tell on Twitter. Moving on, Mark and

512
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,679
Speaker 1: I both picked the Browns to win with the Johnny Manziel.

513
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 1: We'll see how that turns out. Play Gabbert's best quarterback

514
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 1: in this game. Uh yeah, very true. Moving on, the

515
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts are six and six, tied with the Texans,

516
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,959
Speaker 1: the top the wretched a f C South. They now

517
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 1: get the Jacksonville Jaguars. They gotta travel. Nobody likes to

518
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: go to the Evergreen Bank Field in a big game,

519
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,199
Speaker 1: in a big spot in December. I mean, that's one

520
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 1: thing I do know from watching football. Uh. If Jacksonville

521
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: has any hope of staying in this race, they need

522
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: to win, get to five and eight, and then hope

523
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: some really bad stuff happens ahead of them. So yes,

524
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: that is a must win for the Jaguars and the Colts. Listen,

525
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: I think that Jack's gonna win this game. And the

526
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 1: reason I do because I think that Matt hasselbag uh

527
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: storyline has been a little bit uh phony on some level.

528
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: I don't mean, you know, I don't think that he's

529
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 1: actually a good quarterback. I think he's old. I don't

530
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: even he is even playing this. This is the wheels

531
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: are about to fall off the Hassleback train, and I'm

532
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,239
Speaker 1: saying it's gonna happen to Jackson. But I thought mas

533
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: Hasslebacks game against the Steelers was was one of the

534
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 1: worst quarterback games of anyone all year. And this is

535
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 1: the right defense to solve that problem. Because look why

536
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: Philip River is in. Marcus Mariotta have done the last

537
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 1: two weeks two of the best games by any quarterbacks.

538
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think Hastleback has been healthy. Number One,

539
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: he's playing through well. He was. He was playing great

540
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: before the last week. When I say great, he was

541
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 1: doing his job. That's why I don't think it's a

542
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 1: phony story. Yes, he's not the best quarterback in the league,

543
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 1: but he did as well as he possibly could have expected.

544
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,399
Speaker 1: And he's you know, he's terrible. I when we as

545
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: this a f C South race gets closer and closer

546
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 1: to producing giving birth to like in seven and nine

547
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:31,719
Speaker 1: division winner, I want the Texans to win this division

548
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: because they're more interesting on both sides of the ball.

549
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: The Colts are boring right there. Well, yes, of course,

550
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 1: but they were boring with Andrew Luck this season, and

551
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: their defense is one of the most faceless groups in

552
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 1: the entire league. Kendall Langford is their most consistent player

553
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,120
Speaker 1: in their front seven, which is not a good sign.

554
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: In Vante Davis, who is one of those cornerbacks who

555
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: when he's really good, like he's really really really good,

556
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: top five, but he's having just an okay year. I

557
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 1: mean he's not he's not killing them, but he's not

558
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: having that season when we talked about him as one

559
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 1: of the best players in the league. He's not been

560
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: a huge difference maker. Are you going to be able

561
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: to make it uh to Indian Apples for you know,

562
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: you know the combine, No, no, no. For Frank Gore's funeral. Oho,

563
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: you picked the wrong week to say that one of

564
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: his best games of the year. Look great. Last week

565
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:28,400
Speaker 1: it's Pittsburgh. Now, what's the game when the average three

566
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: and a half yards of carry total yard. You watched

567
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,239
Speaker 1: that he got out played by the other thirty two

568
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: year old running. Yeah, he had a good game. Three

569
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: catches had at yards. Just what has come to for

570
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: Frank Gore? That's getting hitting him back. By the way,

571
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: he's putting up Trent richardson production this season. He has

572
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: four point five three point six yards per carry. Alright,

573
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: so you're denied. No, I'm blaming it on the offensive line.

574
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 1: You put him on a good scend, just be the

575
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 1: regular four point one nothing crazy. You go watch the game.

576
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: You haven't watched the game he played? Well, you know

577
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: I don't get defensive all right, just because you're not

578
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: going to frank Or's funeral. Now you come at the King,

579
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: you know, you come at the inconvenient Gregg getting hair. Wait,

580
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: are you calling Frank Gore the King or yourself? I

581
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: think we know the empathy? That's how that sounded. NFL

582
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: Network hit. Uh you know with Michael Silver, Uh, you

583
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: know he's getting his hair cut. I think he got

584
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: his makeup done and didn't even have a TV yesterday

585
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 1: there was you know, I'll say, this is my day

586
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: off and I'm happy to come in here and do this.

587
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: But the tension is uncomfortable. Let's get it together, and

588
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: let's start with Greg having a little bit more of

589
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: a generous spirit to the rest of the room starting now.

590
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 1: Comment he's taking shots at Frank Gore. After a great game,

591
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler and Kevin Patrick Balt took the Colts. Uh.

592
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: Dan Connor and Chris all took the Jags. Moving forward,

593
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: the San Diego super Chargers talk about depressing boring teams.

594
00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 1: Are at three and nine. They head to Kansas City,

595
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 1: need to face the Chiefs. Um perhaps little all due

596
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 1: respect to the Carolina Panthers, the hottest team in football

597
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: right now, seven or five, surging into a playoff favorite status.

598
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: I mean, if you ask um the football world right now,

599
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: they would tell you that there's no way the Chiefs

600
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: can make miss the playoffs. Uh. And to that, I'll say,

601
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 1: just stick around because the NFL has a weird way

602
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: of turning around. Uh. Locks, That's all I'm gonna say

603
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: that Chiefs and sign a quarterback injury wouldn't kill him

604
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: because Alex Smith's barely better than Chase Daniel. Well, we'll

605
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: see as all. I'm gonna say, there's seven or five

606
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 1: playing very well. Uh. This is the part of the

607
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: reason a lot of people saying they're a lock. It's

608
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 1: because their schedules so easy. And it doesn't get much easier,

609
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: I think right now then getting San Diego in your building.

610
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 1: When you have a home field advantage like this was

611
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: Von Miller treated Philip Rivers like a pinata last week.

612
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 1: He was under constant game. Von Miller was all over

613
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 1: him and and Melvin Gordon. Come on, spice Rack, another

614
00:30:56,360 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: fumble from moment, nothing special out Melvin Gordon. It gets

615
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 1: like fifty three yards in a fumble every game, Spice

616
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 1: Can you imagine the pressure on Spice Rack knowing that

617
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: he missed on let's face that he missed on Melvin Gordon,

618
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: and now he's gotta If he misses again, he's out

619
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:14,719
Speaker 1: of the game. Well, there may be a little bit

620
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: more pressure on the Chargers for missing on Melvin Gordon,

621
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 1: but I don't know. They said Tom to Lesko the

622
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: GM he got signed to a contract extension before the year,

623
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 1: and it sounds like they're gonna keep McCoy, so maybe

624
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of pressure. And I disagree. The

625
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: easiest matchup in football right now is San Diego in

626
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 1: San Diego better, better on the road bilip Rivers game

627
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 1: granted against against Jack. I threw a pick six last week,

628
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: and I don't think that that that game is what

629
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: ten three? If he doesn't Yeah, but even like even

630
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: if fifth pick six of the year, they were only Yeah,

631
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: he has the most in the league by far. Wait

632
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 1: how many picks five? And I did not I that's

633
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: what they said on the broadcast. I just watched and

634
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't remember all of them, but

635
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 1: it was I think been mine. He's he's playing behind

636
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: like he is fourth string offensive lineman and throwing too.

637
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: What's the record at six? I don't know. Well, I

638
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 1: didn't know this season here, right, I mean the game

639
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: was seventeen three, and it would have been tent three

640
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 1: had that not happened. I don't know. I mean, it's

641
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: just now pick six is we can always talk about

642
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 1: pick six is like they're meaningful in a predictive way

643
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 1: and it's all just luck. What interceptions an interception after

644
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 1: who's a punch? I know, but that's it's essentially been

645
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: an amazing amount of bad luck. I just mean interceptions

646
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 1: are one thing. If you have a bunch of pick

647
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 1: six is, I don't think that's like that's fair. But

648
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: sometimes with some quarterbacks, like watching a lot of Browns,

649
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 1: sometimes it's you don't have the wherewithal, you get it

650
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: tipped at the line and there's no one to stop

651
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: the defender who catches it at the line. That's all.

652
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 1: It's not predictive, but it is bad fundamentals. And I

653
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: would think there are coaches that would A coach would

654
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 1: probably tell you there are certain throws that you know,

655
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 1: lend themselves to be pick six. Just gonna say, you've

656
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: got guys who don't have strong Philip Rivers does not

657
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: have a strong arm, shop has one of you're throwing

658
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 1: out routes or sideline routes. They're not getting that without

659
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 1: a week arm. That's gonna that's gonna lend you to

660
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: a PIXI wanted to the two biggest pick sixers of

661
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: all time have monster arms, Brett five and Dan Marina.

662
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 1: That's your top two. More attempts than anyway, Um total wormhole.

663
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: Uh just check let's check in on the Dalton scale.

664
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: By the way, we talked about replacing Andy Dalton in

665
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: our last podcast, is the prime Ridian of quarterbacks. Voting

666
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: is not done yet, but I will tell you that

667
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: it is extremely close. Um between Alex Smith and Ryan

668
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: Tannehill are neck and neck right now. It looks like

669
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: as of taping Jay Cutler pretty far in the bat

670
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 1: and the behind those two men. So we'll see, Uh,

671
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,080
Speaker 1: you know where this ends up. Why is it so

672
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: different when we look at the different poles, Daniel, there

673
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: are two different poles because they only offer one one

674
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: day polls if you really want to get into it.

675
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 1: On my off day, someone put up a poll, I

676
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 1: believe our desk editor, David Eally, and then I was

677
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 1: getting multiple Twitter mentions, Hey, when are you putting up

678
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 1: the poll? So I put one up this morning at

679
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,360
Speaker 1: like five am, and then Eally was like, oh, we

680
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 1: already had one up. So what we're gonna do is

681
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:26,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna combine the two poles. I'm on Greg's Alex

682
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: Smith train on this one. Yeah, it's gotta be Alex Smith.

683
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:32,800
Speaker 1: I mean, please, voters Tannehill. Several people had a decent

684
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: idea that should be renamed the Ryan Tanniscale. It's a

685
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 1: little cute site, isn't it. Is it a little bit?

686
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not gonna say dismiss it out

687
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 1: of hand or anything, but let's just think it's a

688
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: little bit. I think he's been two up and down.

689
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 1: Last year he would have been all for him. This

690
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 1: year he's buried way below nice and in the middle.

691
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 1: That's what we're looking for. Let's move on to the

692
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titoons uh three and nine, last place in the

693
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 1: af C now AFC South, traveling to the medal ends

694
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: ivy game to face the Jets. Their Jets were also

695
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: Titans at one time, and uh so the Jets in

696
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 1: a situation at seven and five, the Giants list, and

697
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,919
Speaker 1: the Giants gave the Jets a gift, and the Jets,

698
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: for once in their lifetime, accepted the gift, took care

699
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 1: of business once it was presented, won that game to

700
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: get in seven, get seven and five, and when you

701
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 1: look at the schedule and what's going on in the

702
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 1: a f C playoff picture, you realize that probably saved

703
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: their season. So the one thing you cannot do you

704
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: cannot get what amounted to a near a miraculous win

705
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: over the Giants and then uh, you know, choke against

706
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 1: the Titans at home. You gotta take care of business

707
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: is a big Uh. This would reflect very poorly on

708
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 1: Todd Bowls and on entire coaching staff. If they don't

709
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 1: have this team ready for this game, Jets should roll.

710
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 1: And yet I'm always nervous about the Jets and they're

711
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,399
Speaker 1: building in a big spot in December. Your thoughts, guys,

712
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 1: which Jets defense is gonna show up? Because Marcus Mariotta

713
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,359
Speaker 1: and Carson Palmer are the only two core ter backs

714
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:04,280
Speaker 1: in the league with three of the top twenty qbrs

715
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 1: this year. And Marcus Mariota has done it against the Saints,

716
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,760
Speaker 1: the Bucks and the Jaguars, three of the worst defenses

717
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 1: in the league. If it's a good defense, I have

718
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,400
Speaker 1: no faith in the Titans uh passing game weapons to

719
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: tell Mariota out, here's one thing. Darrell Rivas returned to

720
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 1: practice on Thursday, uh in a limited fashion, and I

721
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 1: believe there's some positive buzz out there now that he

722
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 1: will be back after missing two games. And you know,

723
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 1: there's been way too much made over the decline of

724
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 1: Darrell Rivas. If he is if his head is right,

725
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 1: he's still gonna be adding an excellent player to that defense,

726
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 1: and that will make a big difference. I think I

727
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 1: think we're gonna see Rivas. I mean that will help

728
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 1: a lot because in that Giants game, what number one

729
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham speed? No one could even touch him, but

730
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 1: will Tie was making big plays. I mean, They're throwing

731
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,240
Speaker 1: the ball to everyone in that game, and they couldn't

732
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 1: stop the pass. I get the Jets though, and Fitzpatrick

733
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: a ton of credit four. I didn't see it on Sunday,

734
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:00,919
Speaker 1: saw it later what he did in that fourth quarter.

735
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:04,359
Speaker 1: That was a money quarter by Fitzpatrick. I was gonna

736
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 1: hang in this game. I was waiting for you to, oh,

737
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 1: I'm I'm old. I'm ready to talk about the old

738
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 1: QB index. But maybe that's why there's tension you sense, Mark,

739
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:18,879
Speaker 1: because I'm legitimately upset with Greg Rosenthal because not only

740
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 1: has he betrayed me personally by putting Ryan uh Fitzpatrick

741
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 1: twenty at of thirty two quarterbacks in the quote tier

742
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: acceptable category, which is behind such luminaries as uh Matt Ryan,

743
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 1: Alex Smith, Marcus Mariota, Tyrod Taylor and Blake Bortles and

744
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: Jay Cutler, uh, to name just a few. Uh. It

745
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,320
Speaker 1: seems as if you didn't see what Ryan Fitzpatrick, the

746
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 1: much malign Fitzpatrick that could never win in December and

747
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 1: is never consistent through fifty one passes in a must

748
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: win game and didn't throw a single interception, led them

749
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 1: down the field for the win and then they go

750
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 1: ahead field goal. Gutsy. Gutsy's scrambling as he does every week,

751
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 1: playing the best football of his career, and on pace

752
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,879
Speaker 1: for thirty touchdowns and four thousand yards passing, and yet

753
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 1: he is one of the worst quarterbacks in football according

754
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: to this paper. Well, Ryan Tannehill is also on pace

755
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:14,840
Speaker 1: for four thousand yards. So I think you have to

756
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 1: watch but very different watch the games and very different.

757
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 1: And you're right. I haven't watched Fitzpatrick. I mean, that's

758
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:22,840
Speaker 1: part of the thing, is I the whole point is

759
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 1: I try to watch each and every game, and I

760
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 1: usually spend most of my Fridays and Saturdays, whatever free

761
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 1: time I don't have with with the kids. I watched

762
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: him then, So sometimes the ranking I've watched about half

763
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:34,800
Speaker 1: by the time I've read this. If you're making the

764
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: argument he's gonna move up a little, yeah, he probably will,

765
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 1: but you're making the big argument he needs to be

766
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,400
Speaker 1: a little higher. If you're arguing he needs to be

767
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 1: eighteen ahead of Matt Ryan or nineteen ahead of Stafford's Like, okay,

768
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: that's that maybe will happen after I watched this game.

769
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 1: But Ryan Fitzpatrick's bad games have been really bad, not

770
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: quite as bad as you seem to worst than Matt Ryan's.

771
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 1: And you you said, if anyone's watching the tape, then

772
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:02,839
Speaker 1: you're not gonna take uh Ryan over Fitzpatrick, and I agree,

773
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,359
Speaker 1: I disagree. Ryan has been very middle of the pack.

774
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: That's right. Afterwards Matt Ryan, that is, I went to

775
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: look at Pro Football Focus, who does you know, it's

776
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 1: nothing scientific, but they try to watch each play. They

777
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 1: have him eighth and Fitzpatrick twenty two. So it made

778
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: me think I'm not crazy. He's been the middle of

779
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 1: the road. His bad games aren't as bad as Fitzpatrick's

780
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 1: bad games. He has about five games this year where

781
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 1: he really hurt the Jets. That's all. I thought. You

782
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 1: did an excellent job with the list, But I don't

783
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 1: think you've watched Jake Cutler play snap this year? How

784
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 1: is he twelve ahead of Tyrod Taylor, ahead of Marcus Mariotta?

785
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 1: Come on, you should Honestly, Mariota has a really surprising staff,

786
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:40,319
Speaker 1: by the way, that's in his favor and should worry

787
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 1: the Jets made in this game. He's second in the

788
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 1: league in first downs per per per attempt, which is wild,

789
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: which makes you think if they had a running game,

790
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:49,399
Speaker 1: he would be much much better. A question about the Jets,

791
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 1: because I'm contrast this in his piece of Sunday. Give

792
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 1: me a break. It's just I'm sorry, Mark, let me

793
00:39:56,560 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 1: just go ahead, like honestly, like he can't. He's not.

794
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 1: He's ten ten quarterbacks worse than Jamis Winston this year.

795
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: You want to talk about talk about up and down,

796
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 1: Blake Wortle's up and down, Jake Cutler the epitome of

797
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 1: up and down, Tyrod Taylor up and down. Fitzpatrick. Yeah,

798
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,720
Speaker 1: but these guys are that guys like seven spots ahead.

799
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 1: It should be in the middle of the pack tier.

800
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:20,800
Speaker 1: But absolutely. But I think it's fair that Greg doesn't

801
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:22,359
Speaker 1: have enough time in the day to watch all these

802
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 1: games in one game is not gonna change that much.

803
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,720
Speaker 1: I'm showing Dan my little you know, grades and graphs

804
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,800
Speaker 1: throughout the season that one game is gonna change Fitzpatrick's average,

805
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 1: but not that much. It's one game out of twelve.

806
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,880
Speaker 1: That's impressive because you know, you like math teachers always

807
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:41,400
Speaker 1: say show your work. Greg is showing you know what.

808
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 1: And I'm not questioning Greg's you know, football knowledge, but

809
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 1: I think he's a little bit like filled off by

810
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 1: the specter of what Ryan Fitzpatrick has been and you're

811
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 1: not seeing what he has been this year. I went

812
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:56,439
Speaker 1: and you know, examined this. I wanted to soul search.

813
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 1: Am I being biased in any way against Fitzpatrick? What is?

814
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 1: What is the problem? You know what's killing is September.

815
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 1: You have you know, September counts just as much as

816
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:06,759
Speaker 1: the last month. In September. You have an idea that

817
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick was somehow playing well, and he was terrible from

818
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,399
Speaker 1: weeks two to four. He had three straight really poor games,

819
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:13,879
Speaker 1: and they were winning and they were doing some things

820
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 1: they had nothing to do with him, and that's been

821
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 1: dragging him down. How can you be dragged down when

822
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:19,840
Speaker 1: I was about two months ago, I don't know that

823
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 1: count's gotta be coming up, charging up your list. All right, Sorry, Mark,

824
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 1: what did you say? Well? I was just gonna ask

825
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,879
Speaker 1: their seven and five the Jets, what would the record

826
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:31,400
Speaker 1: be without Brandon Marshall. Oh, I think he's the best.

827
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 1: He's He's been amazing for them. And when you do

828
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 1: watch the Jets game Greg, it'll put an emphasis on

829
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 1: that he was money in the bank for the Jets.

830
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:43,479
Speaker 1: That was in some ways, I almost because I didn't

831
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 1: know this before we started the podcast. I didn't realize

832
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 1: you didn't see this game because this was a gutsy

833
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick game and and his and Brandon Marshall has been

834
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: just an incredible player for them this year. And Fitzpatrick,

835
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 1: to his credit, is always gonna be gutsy enough to

836
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 1: give those guys a chance to make plays. Eric Decker

837
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,359
Speaker 1: is having a great year too. Eric Decker, No love

838
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 1: for that guy. I think much better in the slot. Uh.

839
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,359
Speaker 1: Connor ro picks against New York teams every week. Picked

840
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 1: the Titans. The rest of us pick the Jets. Una

841
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 1: cost you guys money. Well, the money is gonna come

842
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 1: out of and Connor is a dear friend to us all,

843
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:20,359
Speaker 1: but the money is gonna come out of conroars pocket. Well,

844
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:22,839
Speaker 1: he's safely like three thousand miles away. I think we're

845
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 1: in trouble there. Moving on the Detroit Lions, a heartbreaking

846
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 1: loss last Thursday, a season ending loss, let's face it. Uh,

847
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 1: Take on the St. Louis Rams, who, in addition to

848
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:38,840
Speaker 1: being a bad, bad team, they fired detective Frank Signetti.

849
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 1: He told him to hand in his badge and and gun,

850
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:45,400
Speaker 1: and who knows what he's up to now? Uh? And

851
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: I sent Robert Quinn to I are this I mean,

852
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 1: listen ready, I'm putting the clock on one minute on

853
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,879
Speaker 1: this game. Mark that is gone. Well, you're you're talking

854
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: about a team that's shutting it down basically. I mean

855
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 1: they're they're just there's nothing left to play in St. Louis.

856
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,359
Speaker 1: I don't like their tank, but that's at their peak.

857
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 1: They seem like a team that's tanking. Well, it seems

858
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 1: like Frank Signetti lost his job because the best player

859
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:09,800
Speaker 1: on that offense was getting worse by the week. And

860
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 1: that's Todd Gurley. And I don't even blame Girly. He's

861
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 1: getting less productive by the week because there's no blocking

862
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:17,840
Speaker 1: in The quarterbacks have ailed him back. So it sounds

863
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,919
Speaker 1: like Boris has charged with getting Girley back on track

864
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 1: hit in the backfield so much. I mean, maybe we

865
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 1: over overhyped Girly a bit too. I think I don't

866
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 1: think we did. I think all things can possibly be

867
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:34,760
Speaker 1: true that I don't think well spending on the Lions,

868
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:36,840
Speaker 1: the better team, more Lions. I was really getting to

869
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,360
Speaker 1: like this team. I have never been as devastated for

870
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: a game where I had no stake in it whatsoever

871
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 1: as I was when the Lions lost that game. It

872
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 1: really bad. I don't know why. I felt bad for

873
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 1: everybody in Ford Field. I felt bad for the Matthew

874
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:53,400
Speaker 1: Stafford and Megatron dropping to his knees and agony just

875
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 1: that that team in the FA base needs a break.

876
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 1: I felt nothing, but I can understand that you that

877
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:03,400
Speaker 1: you guys had a lot invested for some reason. All right.

878
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:08,359
Speaker 1: Time now to welcome into the studio a first time hero.

879
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 1: So what I like to call her? She is Hero? Yes,

880
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 1: she is the host of Around the NFL, that television

881
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:21,759
Speaker 1: program on NFL Network, the old flagship station. She is

882
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 1: also a mother of three, and she also is potentially

883
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 1: eating crab legs with Cal Ripken Jr. She is am

884
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 1: both Ambo, Amber Harris, welcome to going on. That is

885
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 1: an Amber alert. Guys, you're the first to ever say

886
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 1: that to me. It's unbelievable. Nailed it. And I've never

887
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:49,799
Speaker 1: eaten crabs with Cal Ripken. I've hung out with him,

888
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 1: but I've never I was never in the back of

889
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 1: the Orioles planes where he would like bring the bushel

890
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:57,239
Speaker 1: on for West Coast trips and stink up the whole plane. Yeah,

891
00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:01,440
Speaker 1: because Amber has ah you grew up in region Maryland region.

892
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:04,919
Speaker 1: He did coverage of the Orioles before coming out here. Yeah,

893
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 1: but it was Postcal hare well and famously played by

894
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 1: Scarlett Johansson on Saturday Night Live when they randomly did

895
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 1: a Orioles skit. That's right, just one of the most

896
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:20,840
Speaker 1: one of the thing. And it was weird because it

897
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:22,919
Speaker 1: was two years ago what Amber was already deep into

898
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 1: her NFL network career. I hadn't covered an Orioles game

899
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 1: in like five years, and uh, yeah, they do the

900
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 1: spoof and and people. It was actually when the Pacquiao

901
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 1: fight was going on. So I'm watching the Paquyal fight

902
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:37,800
Speaker 1: and the Mayweather pack Yall fight and my phone's going crazy,

903
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:39,840
Speaker 1: and I'm like, what's going on? And people were mentioning

904
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 1: because SNL aired at the exact same time, and I

905
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 1: was just really disappointed they got such a dog to

906
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 1: play me. I was gonna say that, that's pretty awesome.

907
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:52,400
Speaker 1: It's quite a compliment. She's beautiful. That's like if, like

908
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 1: chan Channing Tatum played Mark Cesler in this s it's

909
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 1: like when your wife good for him. Amber might not

910
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 1: know this, but Dan's U wife is a casting director,

911
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 1: and and she said that John Ham would play Dan

912
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:10,879
Speaker 1: in the movie. And you agree with that. I see

913
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 1: the resemblance. It would have been my first choice for sure.

914
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:17,760
Speaker 1: And Amber has just booked yourself onto the show multiple

915
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 1: weeks now. Uh, no other way around. Amber is a

916
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 1: big TV star, so we're happy to have her on

917
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 1: the show. Do you would you like to talk some

918
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:27,400
Speaker 1: football with this? Of course, maybe some other stuff as

919
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:29,920
Speaker 1: we get down the line. But let's get back into

920
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 1: the games now, and we will start with a game

921
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:36,719
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia, a huge game for the Eagles, who you know,

922
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:40,239
Speaker 1: despite being five and seven in the wretched NFC East,

923
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 1: that means you're in first place or at least tied

924
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:44,719
Speaker 1: for first. So you now get a game against the

925
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills in your building, and um, you know, Amber,

926
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:52,439
Speaker 1: I'll start with you on this because the Bills, they've

927
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:55,360
Speaker 1: been a very schizophrenic team where they look like the

928
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 1: team that maybe people thought they could be in August

929
00:46:57,480 --> 00:46:59,400
Speaker 1: when people are picking them for the playoffs, and then

930
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:02,520
Speaker 1: they lay an. So their last game they played very well.

931
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 1: One there's a set up well for the Eagles that

932
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:07,239
Speaker 1: you're gonna have another bad Bills game now as they

933
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:10,320
Speaker 1: go up and down all season. Quite possibly. But I

934
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 1: think when you look at what Philadelphia is doing, um,

935
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:16,440
Speaker 1: they're not really scoring on offense. They're relying on everything

936
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 1: else to score. As for our special teams in defense,

937
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:22,040
Speaker 1: if they're able to If the Eagles are able to

938
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:25,200
Speaker 1: score that way, um, I think they have a chance.

939
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:26,879
Speaker 1: But I don't think two games in a row you're

940
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 1: gonna see miraculous plays like the Malcolm Jenkins again, um

941
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:35,279
Speaker 1: this week against the Bills. I don't know about the

942
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 1: Bills on the road. You know, Philly's it is still

943
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 1: a tough hostile environment to play in. A lot of

944
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 1: people having the Bills taking that a f C wild

945
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 1: card spot, I just I don't see that happening in

946
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:48,399
Speaker 1: the end. On the flip side, I could actually see

947
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles winning the division just by default, because

948
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 1: I feel like everything's just gonnas keep falling until someone

949
00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:58,839
Speaker 1: somewhat ahead in that division. Well that's a good that's

950
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:01,240
Speaker 1: actually a good question because or a good point because

951
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:04,279
Speaker 1: who is the favorite in the NFC East? Now? Is

952
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:06,359
Speaker 1: there anyone you could actually say? Or is this thing

953
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 1: literally wide open? With the Cowboys obviously because they're on

954
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:11,400
Speaker 1: the outside looking in right now, you wouldn't put them

955
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 1: as the favorite. But does anybody stick out? I go Giants,

956
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:16,680
Speaker 1: even though I think that they could win it with

957
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 1: six games, I don't think there is a favorite. It's

958
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 1: just and if you looked at the metrics or whatever,

959
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:25,440
Speaker 1: the advanced stats and giving percentages like they're all about

960
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:27,800
Speaker 1: even now, in terms of the Redskins, Giants and Eagles

961
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 1: having a chance to make it, I guess I would

962
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 1: give the Eagles an edge. But I also don't think

963
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:34,440
Speaker 1: they're suddenly playing better just because they had a flukey game.

964
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:37,640
Speaker 1: As the Amber said, we're special teams and defense scores

965
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:40,719
Speaker 1: a ton of touchdowns. The Bills, to me, they're consistent

966
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:42,719
Speaker 1: right now on offense, they go into Kansas City and

967
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor completed a lot of passes down the field

968
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:48,359
Speaker 1: and looked very good last week against Houston, who Chris

969
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:51,480
Speaker 1: had been talking up as the best defense in the

970
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 1: league at the moment, they dropped thirty points on them.

971
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:56,560
Speaker 1: They're a tough team to prepare for, and it wasn't

972
00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:58,880
Speaker 1: all just the running game. Although they didn't have to

973
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:01,719
Speaker 1: have Tyrod Taylor throw the when he needed to throw

974
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 1: it deep, I mean he can. He's completing big time

975
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:06,279
Speaker 1: passes down the field. I trust them a lot more

976
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 1: than I trust the Eagle fifty three yard or and

977
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:10,720
Speaker 1: a fifty two yard to Watkins. They've had big plays

978
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:13,200
Speaker 1: all year. They're amongst the best team and when it

979
00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 1: comes to big plays from wire to wire, Greg Roman

980
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:19,760
Speaker 1: deserves attention for that, but it's Sammy Watkins who hasn't

981
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 1: been been involved of late. And that that hit the

982
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:23,800
Speaker 1: past to Clay at the end of the game. And

983
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:25,759
Speaker 1: I do think the Houston has a good secondary, but

984
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:28,880
Speaker 1: there was no one within fifteen yards of Charles Clay

985
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 1: on what decided the game. Remember Clay in the movie JFK. Yes,

986
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:35,360
Speaker 1: I do. I couldn't trust that guy, No, he was

987
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:41,200
Speaker 1: way show you might not know every by the way

988
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:45,279
Speaker 1: that Mark is a JFK conspiracy that is true. I

989
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 1: am not an expert. You were because you started writing

990
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:50,320
Speaker 1: a book. Well I got ten pages into it, so

991
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 1: still when you were listening to Go West, you're pretty

992
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:01,480
Speaker 1: much at everything conspiracist though it's not just JFK. Also

993
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:05,440
Speaker 1: completely false. He's a big Go West fan. Pretty I

994
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:07,400
Speaker 1: don't know. You know at this point, why did I

995
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:10,440
Speaker 1: come here today? Well, I'm trying to remember why. But we,

996
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 1: I mean, we haven't even brought up the fact that

997
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:15,400
Speaker 1: do you guys think that Lashawn McCoy is going to

998
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 1: have a big game just fueled by everything is happening.

999
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:21,440
Speaker 1: I want him to go away so so much. Just

1000
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:24,320
Speaker 1: go away, Leshaw McCoy, you awful human beings? Wait are you?

1001
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:26,320
Speaker 1: You're on Chip Kelly side of this fence. No. I

1002
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 1: just think he showed himself to be an awful human

1003
00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:32,000
Speaker 1: being in the off season a couple of times, once

1004
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:34,479
Speaker 1: when he treated reporters like there was something he picked

1005
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:36,480
Speaker 1: off the bottom of his shoe, and then with the

1006
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:40,200
Speaker 1: Party League not Leshan McCoy, you could you could see

1007
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 1: little disdain in his face as he talked down to

1008
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:47,400
Speaker 1: other human beings and then the party where only invited

1009
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:50,680
Speaker 1: women can come, and he's going to dress him. I

1010
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:52,879
Speaker 1: think he'll have a big game, not not because he's

1011
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 1: specially motivated. I mean, we talked about it the last show.

1012
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 1: Is funny how he's trying to get his teammates all

1013
00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 1: fired up because he cares more this week, but because

1014
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:01,080
Speaker 1: he's one of the best running backs in the league,

1015
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 1: because he's much better uh than DeMarco Murray is right now,

1016
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:06,880
Speaker 1: and because he's got a good offensive line. I mean,

1017
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:10,640
Speaker 1: Rex Ryan made the statement this week Richie Incognito might

1018
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:13,360
Speaker 1: be the best run blocking guard in the entire NFL.

1019
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 1: And and that's not that craziest statements. Would have shocked

1020
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:19,399
Speaker 1: you to hear that going into the season, and it's

1021
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:21,839
Speaker 1: not that craziest statement now. Um, I was the only

1022
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:24,400
Speaker 1: one of the group to pick the Bills. I've surprised.

1023
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:27,160
Speaker 1: That was a good hero pick for the old Juser.

1024
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 1: I believe change. This is a Okay, that's funny, This

1025
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 1: is a to me, a loser goes home match for

1026
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:35,840
Speaker 1: the Bills. At least you're done if they if they

1027
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:38,000
Speaker 1: follow six and seven in that playoff picture they're done,

1028
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:40,440
Speaker 1: but not for the Eagles. Not for the Eagles. Eagles

1029
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:45,440
Speaker 1: are still alive and you're gonna win that one. That's

1030
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:47,719
Speaker 1: a hero, I hope so, because I do think the

1031
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:50,279
Speaker 1: Bills will falter down the line when everyone thinks they're

1032
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:52,360
Speaker 1: gonna win. But I think they're gonna take a business today.

1033
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:57,080
Speaker 1: We shall see. Uh, let's move on, ladies and gentlemen,

1034
00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:01,600
Speaker 1: to the Sea. Seattle Seahawks. Who, yeah, they all of

1035
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:04,880
Speaker 1: a sudden they look like the Seahawks again, and now

1036
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 1: they are traveling to Baltimore. They get a Ravens team. Uh,

1037
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:10,719
Speaker 1: that is not very good as we know. Four and eight.

1038
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:14,400
Speaker 1: They got Matt shab At quarterback, who's a pick six machine.

1039
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:17,320
Speaker 1: If they're lucky. If they're lucky, yeah, it's true. And

1040
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:20,799
Speaker 1: they don't have anybody healthy left on the entire front.

1041
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:24,960
Speaker 1: This Yeah, this Greg on paper looks like a blowout.

1042
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:30,440
Speaker 1: How unlucky is Jimmy Clawson Because as we're taping this

1043
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 1: Thursday afternoon, it looks like there's a good chance Jimmy

1044
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:37,239
Speaker 1: Clawson is going to get the start. And the last

1045
00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:40,440
Speaker 1: time we saw Jimmy Clawson, of course, was also against

1046
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:44,520
Speaker 1: the Sea and they didn't score a point and they

1047
00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:47,359
Speaker 1: punted every single time they had the ball. I mean,

1048
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:50,200
Speaker 1: and it's an impossible spot and we had a very

1049
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:53,759
Speaker 1: quick that's better than an interception, So I guess that's

1050
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:56,840
Speaker 1: what they're considering right now. We had a stupid argument

1051
00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:58,560
Speaker 1: downstairs and they were like, well, what's the difference between

1052
00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:00,480
Speaker 1: Match Shop and Jimmy class And I could argue there

1053
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:02,880
Speaker 1: actually is a pretty big difference because Jimmy Classon just

1054
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:05,200
Speaker 1: joined the team a few weeks ago, and Matt job

1055
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:07,399
Speaker 1: as bad as he's banned in terms of the pick

1056
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:10,080
Speaker 1: six those have been picked, you know, tipped passes. He's

1057
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 1: looked like an NFL quarterback, not a good NFL quarterback,

1058
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:14,560
Speaker 1: Jimmy Class and I think gives you no chance to

1059
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:16,200
Speaker 1: move the ball at all. Not that it really matter

1060
00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:18,000
Speaker 1: if you had if you had a draft of the

1061
00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:20,800
Speaker 1: worst quarterbacks of the last three years, those were probably

1062
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:23,040
Speaker 1: the top two draft picks match Job and Jimmy class

1063
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 1: It's fair. He's gonna have to he's gonna have to

1064
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:28,319
Speaker 1: be put on the spot if they play the way

1065
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:30,720
Speaker 1: they did in Adrian Peterson. I mean, they gang tackled

1066
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:33,279
Speaker 1: him over and over. Amber. Do you like keep keep

1067
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:35,760
Speaker 1: closer tabs on the Ravens still, even though I usually

1068
00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:38,920
Speaker 1: I usually do your Ravens fan. Um well, I grew

1069
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:41,600
Speaker 1: up a Redskins fan, uh in the d C. Area,

1070
00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:44,080
Speaker 1: But that's because you know, we didn't have the Colts

1071
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:46,440
Speaker 1: in town. They left. Arm was really small, but my

1072
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:48,960
Speaker 1: whole family was Redskins fans. But when I started covering

1073
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:52,000
Speaker 1: sports as a professional and I covered both the Redskins

1074
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:54,880
Speaker 1: and the Ravens, it really kind of swayed my opinion

1075
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:57,719
Speaker 1: just based on the way the two organizations were run.

1076
00:53:57,880 --> 00:54:00,080
Speaker 1: I I started in the late nineties when day An

1077
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:03,640
Speaker 1: Snyder just bought the team, and um, you know, just

1078
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 1: being a young journalist, one of my first very hungry

1079
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:10,279
Speaker 1: young journalist and one of my first experiences was seeing

1080
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:14,080
Speaker 1: Dan kick like a whole section of the media off

1081
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:17,640
Speaker 1: of out of the facility. And this was the I

1082
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:19,960
Speaker 1: was like, what does this? Can that happen? Aren't you

1083
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:22,880
Speaker 1: allowed to cover the team? Can you even can you

1084
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:26,719
Speaker 1: do that? And on the other do you remember that

1085
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 1: it was a big that I was there. That was

1086
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:31,800
Speaker 1: like one of my first days working, and um it

1087
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 1: was it was running not in Channel seven. Yeah, I

1088
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 1: kicked them all off, but um, On the other hand,

1089
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:39,960
Speaker 1: Stu Bushatti, you know in that organization with Ozzy Newsom

1090
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:42,760
Speaker 1: from top to bottom. I was with them even closer

1091
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:45,120
Speaker 1: than the Redskins for nine years. And so yeah, I

1092
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:48,040
Speaker 1: saw all those guys get drafted. Um saw them come

1093
00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:51,000
Speaker 1: in as young guys, Joe Flacco and Helodi Nada, and

1094
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:52,879
Speaker 1: I mean, I gosh, I was even back when Terrell

1095
00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:55,719
Speaker 1: Suggs was first drafted. So um, yeah, I keep a

1096
00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:58,840
Speaker 1: little bit closer on them. Another another peach of a

1097
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 1: human being. Uh, I like love that, Um I hold

1098
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:09,120
Speaker 1: in my hands. The two thousand fifteen season Week four

1099
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:17,400
Speaker 1: teen research notes, Wait, is that pretty woman? A right?

1100
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:19,440
Speaker 1: I see where we're going with this. We should move

1101
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:21,000
Speaker 1: on to another game, but I need to share this

1102
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 1: about Thomas Rawls, who deserves the spotlight. He's taken over

1103
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:27,160
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch, as we know, has not skipped a beat

1104
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:30,280
Speaker 1: seven and twelve yards rushing, setting a new NFL record

1105
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 1: for an undrafted player in his first six starts. You

1106
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:35,400
Speaker 1: have to go back to Arian Foster in two thousand

1107
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:38,040
Speaker 1: ten for someone that approaches that, but he doesn't even

1108
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:40,040
Speaker 1: have Rawles beat. Rawles is the real deal. What a

1109
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 1: move by the is this is a difference between the

1110
00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:45,959
Speaker 1: Seahawks of the last couple of years and this year's

1111
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:48,680
Speaker 1: Seahawks is that they always had Beast Moon and they

1112
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:50,759
Speaker 1: had that defense, and Russell Wilson was good. But now

1113
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:53,400
Speaker 1: they've got Russell Wilson who could throw four five touchdowns

1114
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:56,680
Speaker 1: a game, and they've got raws, they've got the running game,

1115
00:55:56,719 --> 00:55:59,640
Speaker 1: and then we've seen the defense playing well as well.

1116
00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:01,480
Speaker 1: So I think this is I think it's next to

1117
00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, maybe the dangerous, most dangerous team in the

1118
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:07,000
Speaker 1: NFC right now. Interesting, we all took the Seahawks across

1119
00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:10,520
Speaker 1: the board. Let's move on to the New Orleans Saints

1120
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:14,560
Speaker 1: and Nolan's Saints heading to Tampa, UH to face the Buccaneers.

1121
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:17,040
Speaker 1: The Saints are out of the mix at four and eight,

1122
00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:21,160
Speaker 1: but the Buccaneers are frisky six and six. They got

1123
00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:25,959
Speaker 1: an exciting young quarterback. Uh. They have a real chance

1124
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:27,640
Speaker 1: to make a move here in the NFC if they

1125
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:30,479
Speaker 1: take care of business at Homemark Sessler. Uh your thoughts?

1126
00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:32,920
Speaker 1: You think the Buccaneers are gonna seize this moment to

1127
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:35,960
Speaker 1: build some momentum. I do. I think the Bucks could,

1128
00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:38,239
Speaker 1: looking at their schedule go about three and one down

1129
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 1: the stretch. I don't know if they'll get into the playoffs,

1130
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:43,040
Speaker 1: but this is a team that if you've been a

1131
00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:44,960
Speaker 1: Bucks fan, you've suffered through a lot. There is a

1132
00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:48,000
Speaker 1: lot of reasons for hope. And watching that Falcons game

1133
00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:50,239
Speaker 1: from last week, I couldn't help but wonder if Matt

1134
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:53,480
Speaker 1: Ryan looked across the sideline at Dirk Cotter and just said,

1135
00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:58,000
Speaker 1: I want that offense back because that fit the Falcons

1136
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:00,200
Speaker 1: and it certainly fits the Bucks. And Winston is the

1137
00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:03,520
Speaker 1: perfect quarterback for what they're doing, because maybe he just

1138
00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:05,359
Speaker 1: doesn't even know what he doesn't know at this point,

1139
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:07,879
Speaker 1: but he's not afraid to take shots down the field.

1140
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:10,719
Speaker 1: He's got the perfect two wide receivers for it. And

1141
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:13,319
Speaker 1: Doug Martin does takes a lot of pressure off him

1142
00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:15,560
Speaker 1: as well. I really think that the Bucks there's nothing

1143
00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:17,600
Speaker 1: flukey about them. I think that they took him a

1144
00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:19,360
Speaker 1: month to get to figure out what they were and

1145
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:22,080
Speaker 1: now they are an interesting team. When I watched that game,

1146
00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:25,520
Speaker 1: the thought occurred to me, there's no better Mr Inside

1147
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:27,920
Speaker 1: and Mr Outside than Doug Martin and Charles Simms right

1148
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:31,080
Speaker 1: now in the NFL. Charles Simms looks really quick. He

1149
00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:33,680
Speaker 1: can't be used like Doug Martin, but as a pass couching,

1150
00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:36,960
Speaker 1: pass catching back and a scat back outside, he's been great.

1151
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:39,280
Speaker 1: I mean, they may be the best running back duo

1152
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:41,320
Speaker 1: in the league at least it's top five, and Sims

1153
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:43,240
Speaker 1: has been doing that all year, but it's been more

1154
00:57:43,320 --> 00:57:46,280
Speaker 1: and more of it. Schedules. The schedule favors them for sure,

1155
00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:48,760
Speaker 1: the Saints, the Rams, the Bears, and the Panthers. So

1156
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:51,640
Speaker 1: that would maybe the Panthers sitting there. It might be

1157
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:54,960
Speaker 1: exactly exactly, so they're three at I say, at the

1158
00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:57,160
Speaker 1: least three and one. That's nine and seven, and then

1159
00:57:57,240 --> 00:57:59,480
Speaker 1: who are they competing with for the wild card? Right now,

1160
00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:02,520
Speaker 1: you have him that the Seahawks get the first wild

1161
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:05,200
Speaker 1: card spot, and then the second one is probably going

1162
00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:07,080
Speaker 1: to come down to the Bucks with the Vikings, and

1163
00:58:07,160 --> 00:58:10,720
Speaker 1: the Vikings have a pretty tough schedule all the all

1164
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:14,360
Speaker 1: the way uh down the Blacks and the divisional matchup

1165
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:18,200
Speaker 1: week seventeen. So let's say they both. When I was

1166
00:58:18,240 --> 00:58:20,320
Speaker 1: looking at the Viking schedule, I think they go one

1167
00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:22,760
Speaker 1: in three, but that would put both teams at nine

1168
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:25,120
Speaker 1: and seven. So that's where it gets interesting because then

1169
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:27,280
Speaker 1: it comes to they didn't play head to heads, so

1170
00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:29,680
Speaker 1: a bunch of different tiebreakers. Conference. If you want to

1171
00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:32,160
Speaker 1: play along with Amber, you can go to NFL dot

1172
00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:36,240
Speaker 1: com and use our playoff predictor. It's Shield Company. Christmas.

1173
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:39,560
Speaker 1: I love it. You get three drink tickets at the

1174
00:58:39,640 --> 00:58:46,600
Speaker 1: Christmas and a plus one. That's like get crazy. Nobody

1175
00:58:46,600 --> 00:58:49,120
Speaker 1: gets a plus one. And West famously skipped it last

1176
00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:51,840
Speaker 1: year because he didn't like the line in the invitation

1177
00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:56,480
Speaker 1: that said you have to be I don't know. I'm out,

1178
00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:59,360
Speaker 1: I'm out on. I'm not doing cocktail tire. I got better.

1179
00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:02,000
Speaker 1: All there like is showing up in shorts and on skateboards.

1180
00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:03,560
Speaker 1: I got better things to do than dress up in

1181
00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:06,120
Speaker 1: cocktail attimes. I can promise you the drink tickets or

1182
00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:08,960
Speaker 1: the limited amount of tickets have never stopped us at

1183
00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:12,120
Speaker 1: any holiday party. You got to know the right people.

1184
00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:14,360
Speaker 1: I can always find me another drink tickets somehow, but

1185
00:59:14,440 --> 00:59:16,840
Speaker 1: I'll be damned if I'm gonna pay five fifty for

1186
00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:19,480
Speaker 1: a cocktail at a Christmas party. There you go, Amber

1187
00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:23,680
Speaker 1: THEO Harris? Is it is it Amber THEO Harris? Or

1188
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:28,200
Speaker 1: is it Amber THEO Harris? It's one word. It's one word.

1189
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:32,120
Speaker 1: THEO Harris, THEO Harris. It's Amber. Theo is Greek. But

1190
00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:35,520
Speaker 1: you know you Americans. I knew there was something you

1191
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:40,120
Speaker 1: people say, THEO Harris. Okay, before we all took the

1192
00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:42,480
Speaker 1: bucks to take care of business, uh Amber, before you go,

1193
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:44,360
Speaker 1: I wanted to check in. We well, we just heard

1194
00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:47,760
Speaker 1: rock said. Of course. One of the great anthems of

1195
00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:53,880
Speaker 1: also was Chris Wessling's pick for embarrassing album slash single

1196
00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:57,320
Speaker 1: of his past that he purchased, uh Amber. I am

1197
00:59:57,400 --> 01:00:01,800
Speaker 1: curious what your most embarrassing UH purchase. Listen, this is

1198
01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:05,480
Speaker 1: a like I said on the last show, this is

1199
01:00:05,520 --> 01:00:08,200
Speaker 1: a no shame area. This is no shame. You're in

1200
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:11,040
Speaker 1: the trust tree, go and will mock you. We just

1201
01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:17,120
Speaker 1: it's a place to share our past most embarrassing purchase. Okay, um,

1202
01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:19,600
Speaker 1: you guys hit me with this little earlierhead a little

1203
01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:23,120
Speaker 1: time to think. I would have to go the curtain.

1204
01:00:23,440 --> 01:00:26,520
Speaker 1: I would have to go back to like nineteen nine.

1205
01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:30,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess it was well, I said, you have

1206
01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:32,160
Speaker 1: you have to realize I was an adolescent girl in

1207
01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:34,280
Speaker 1: the in the eighties and early nineties. I have a

1208
01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:37,880
Speaker 1: lot of embarrassing music. But I remember buying for my

1209
01:00:38,040 --> 01:00:41,200
Speaker 1: little boyfriend in sixth grade. Sam, I can't even remember

1210
01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:44,120
Speaker 1: your last name. Sam, I apologize. You were really important

1211
01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:48,960
Speaker 1: to me though, Milly Vanilly, baby, don't forget my number?

1212
01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:53,680
Speaker 1: And I like it was I didn't they do like

1213
01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:59,000
Speaker 1: a in the video like together, Yeah, that was all

1214
01:00:59,040 --> 01:01:01,720
Speaker 1: they did. It was liked in the sky behind the

1215
01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:05,160
Speaker 1: exactly what the braids, and the braids were like sway, Yeah,

1216
01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:08,680
Speaker 1: don't that embarrassed about it. But I kind of like

1217
01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:12,440
Speaker 1: it right now. She's loving it. I could was jamming

1218
01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:15,920
Speaker 1: right now. And it wasn't a bad song for our

1219
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:19,600
Speaker 1: younger because when we were downstairs bad it was pretty

1220
01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:22,600
Speaker 1: good when we were downstairs in the video editing room

1221
01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:26,640
Speaker 1: where Sydney was cutting that song. Uh. Sydney for one,

1222
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:29,600
Speaker 1: who was a young woman born in the early nineties. Uh,

1223
01:01:29,720 --> 01:01:32,480
Speaker 1: and several of the other of the producers did not

1224
01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:34,600
Speaker 1: know who Milli Vanilli was. They said, how do you

1225
01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:38,240
Speaker 1: spell that? When I said, it's Millie Vanilly. And those

1226
01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:41,000
Speaker 1: that don't know Milli Vanilly was a fraud. They were

1227
01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:44,160
Speaker 1: put together by some record label, Hancho, and then we're exposed.

1228
01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:46,640
Speaker 1: They didn't sing their own songs. They're basically just one

1229
01:01:46,680 --> 01:01:48,120
Speaker 1: of them. I mean that it was like they fell

1230
01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:50,160
Speaker 1: apart from there. They got really involved in drugs and

1231
01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:52,240
Speaker 1: I think one of them died. There was a lot

1232
01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:54,400
Speaker 1: of embarrassment. You know, this has been recorded in like

1233
01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:57,720
Speaker 1: VH one specials on that album too, and I proudly

1234
01:01:57,720 --> 01:01:59,160
Speaker 1: owned it, to be honest, But I had a lot

1235
01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:03,720
Speaker 1: of terrible music. It's been exposed. My boyfriend Sam's whoever

1236
01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:07,520
Speaker 1: his name was, Sam, You're a bum. Sam's listening to

1237
01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:12,440
Speaker 1: It's just a tear going he lives. And I remember

1238
01:02:12,520 --> 01:02:15,320
Speaker 1: wrapping the single cassette, Remember the single you went to

1239
01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:17,680
Speaker 1: Sam Goody or whatever, you bought the single that and

1240
01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:19,160
Speaker 1: I wrapped it and put it in his locker in

1241
01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:23,680
Speaker 1: sixth grade Town Nights Middle School, And somehow the love

1242
01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:28,760
Speaker 1: didn't last. Amber Again is the host of Around the NFL,

01:02:48,360 --> 01:02:51,560
Speaker 1: bring up anything positive immediately about ourselves. Came up on

1251
01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:53,600
Speaker 1: the last show in real time. That's that's how it

1252
01:02:53,760 --> 01:02:55,680
Speaker 1: came about that I got on the podcast. We were

1253
01:02:55,720 --> 01:02:59,880
Speaker 1: in makeup grade together, were in makeup and and the

1254
01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:03,280
Speaker 1: came up, and I was like, hey, I did not.

1255
01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:09,480
Speaker 1: For the record, Greg, wasn't even a camera yesterday. I

1256
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:12,040
Speaker 1: don't recall it happening that way. But as you were

1257
01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:13,960
Speaker 1: getting powdered, you said, hey, have you guys seen how

1258
01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:21,000
Speaker 1: great check out sounds? Not congrats, guys, thanks, thank you Amber,

1259
01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:30,680
Speaker 1: So Amber, theo' harris, no, Amber, something like that. Everybody

1260
01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:35,760
Speaker 1: do so okay, thank you Amber. Let's move on now.

1261
01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:39,920
Speaker 1: The Oakland Raiders, we uh see them traveling to Denver

1262
01:03:40,040 --> 01:03:44,320
Speaker 1: to face the Broncos. The Raiders, well, you know, another

1263
01:03:44,400 --> 01:03:47,680
Speaker 1: season of promise. Uh seem well, this was the first

1264
01:03:47,720 --> 01:03:49,320
Speaker 1: season of promise in a while. But it looks like

1265
01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:52,240
Speaker 1: it's ending in a negative way. But maybe they can,

1266
01:03:52,640 --> 01:03:55,120
Speaker 1: you know, end on a strong note there five and seven,

1267
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:57,160
Speaker 1: they go to Denver, they can knock off the Broncos

1268
01:03:57,240 --> 01:04:00,200
Speaker 1: and brock Osweiler. Greg, I will say this, you know,

1269
01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:04,840
Speaker 1: Denver took care business against San Diego um last week.

1270
01:04:04,880 --> 01:04:09,000
Speaker 1: But I could see Oswiler costing them games, are putting

1271
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:11,760
Speaker 1: them in bad spots. He's a young quarterback, hasn't looked great.

1272
01:04:12,320 --> 01:04:15,640
Speaker 1: He struggled last week and that got overlooked because they won.

1273
01:04:15,760 --> 01:04:18,120
Speaker 1: And that's fine, but the running game right now is

1274
01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:19,880
Speaker 1: banged up. And I think this for I just have

1275
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:22,840
Speaker 1: a spiky sense feeling on this game. It was my

1276
01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:26,440
Speaker 1: bold prediction in our headline of the future on NFL

1277
01:04:26,520 --> 01:04:27,720
Speaker 1: now that I think the Raiders are going to go

1278
01:04:27,760 --> 01:04:30,320
Speaker 1: in there and win this game and bounce back from what,

1279
01:04:30,480 --> 01:04:32,280
Speaker 1: really what was Derek Carr's worst game of the years.

1280
01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:33,760
Speaker 1: I don't even know who I picked, but I could

1281
01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:36,360
Speaker 1: see that. I mean, Oakland has lost four or five,

1282
01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:39,560
Speaker 1: but they still have They're still making plays week to week.

1283
01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:42,120
Speaker 1: And I Ostwailder missed a bunch of throws in that

1284
01:04:42,240 --> 01:04:44,440
Speaker 1: last game. And I don't know is C J Anderson

1285
01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:48,040
Speaker 1: dinnat play. The KOPA said he expects Hillman and Anderson

1286
01:04:48,120 --> 01:04:51,600
Speaker 1: to both return to practice by Friday, but Jowan Thompson

1287
01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:54,560
Speaker 1: might get to start. Thompson is not bad. He's not bad,

1288
01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:57,320
Speaker 1: and and Oslar did miss some throws, but they just

1289
01:04:57,440 --> 01:04:59,120
Speaker 1: jumped out to a lead and ran the ball their

1290
01:04:59,160 --> 01:05:01,680
Speaker 1: second half. Ye that's fair too. They just sat on

1291
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:04,240
Speaker 1: the ball and DeMarcus were supposed to come back this

1292
01:05:04,360 --> 01:05:07,600
Speaker 1: week to a defense that really shut down. The Chargers

1293
01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:10,440
Speaker 1: played lights out last week. I would be surprised by

1294
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:13,479
Speaker 1: an upset. Michael Crabtree got a big contract this week.

1295
01:05:13,560 --> 01:05:15,800
Speaker 1: Turned out to be a really nice signing for him,

1296
01:05:15,840 --> 01:05:18,040
Speaker 1: and he got rewarded. I think he's gonna get sixteen

1297
01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:21,000
Speaker 1: million or so over nineteen million guarantee. Yeah, I think

1298
01:05:21,040 --> 01:05:24,400
Speaker 1: it's sixteen over the first two years. Uh So that

1299
01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:27,280
Speaker 1: that was a good by low by Reggie Mackenzie. And

1300
01:05:27,320 --> 01:05:30,000
Speaker 1: they have a nice group there with with Cooper, Crabtree

1301
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:31,960
Speaker 1: and Seth Roberts. If he didn't know he was an

1302
01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:34,560
Speaker 1: undrafted rookie, you would think, Wow, this guy's got a

1303
01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:36,680
Speaker 1: great future in the league as as a third I mean,

1304
01:05:36,760 --> 01:05:38,920
Speaker 1: he makes some tough, tough plays. The best thing going

1305
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:41,560
Speaker 1: for Reggie Mackenzie right now is that he doesn't have

1306
01:05:41,680 --> 01:05:43,400
Speaker 1: to touch the offensive side of the ball at all

1307
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:45,880
Speaker 1: in the off season. You've got your nucleus, you've got

1308
01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:48,440
Speaker 1: a good offensive line, you've got a running back, you've

1309
01:05:48,480 --> 01:05:51,040
Speaker 1: got receivers, You've got Clive Walford at tight end. Go

1310
01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:54,280
Speaker 1: get some pieces to help Khalil Mack on defense. You

1311
01:05:54,360 --> 01:05:57,800
Speaker 1: gotta love Michael Crabsture, your classic Riches two Rags to

1312
01:05:57,960 --> 01:06:02,440
Speaker 1: Riches story. Yeah, would you would? It would really underdog

1313
01:06:02,720 --> 01:06:06,720
Speaker 1: over worrying about Cooper and the drops because every time

1314
01:06:06,760 --> 01:06:09,120
Speaker 1: I watch a Raiders game he has one or two

1315
01:06:09,200 --> 01:06:12,520
Speaker 1: that killed the team. No, because I think you should worry,

1316
01:06:12,600 --> 01:06:14,600
Speaker 1: because that's what everyone said with him coming out of

1317
01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:17,040
Speaker 1: college was a concern. Then again, t O, I mean

1318
01:06:17,800 --> 01:06:21,760
Speaker 1: more passes than t O if he if he drops

1319
01:06:21,880 --> 01:06:24,920
Speaker 1: eight a year and has a hundred catches, Mike Evans

1320
01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:27,760
Speaker 1: is dropping more passes in a Marty Cooper and he's another.

1321
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:29,480
Speaker 1: I mean it hurts his vat. It makes him not

1322
01:06:29,560 --> 01:06:31,840
Speaker 1: as good as player I guess obvious. I mean it

1323
01:06:31,880 --> 01:06:34,360
Speaker 1: maybe prevents him from being the very top of the top.

1324
01:06:34,760 --> 01:06:38,240
Speaker 1: Not Odell Beckham, the entire bron Uh, the entire around

1325
01:06:38,240 --> 01:06:42,840
Speaker 1: the NFL team took the Broncos, moving on the Dallas Cowboys,

1326
01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:46,280
Speaker 1: who are miraculously one game out in the NFC East

1327
01:06:46,320 --> 01:06:49,160
Speaker 1: after their Monday Night went over. The Redskins travel to

1328
01:06:49,280 --> 01:06:53,400
Speaker 1: lambeau Field and get the Packers. Uh, you know, at

1329
01:06:53,480 --> 01:06:57,720
Speaker 1: first glance, this is a absolute blowout and and and wait,

1330
01:06:57,880 --> 01:07:00,560
Speaker 1: but then you think about what's going on with the Packers. Uh,

1331
01:07:00,680 --> 01:07:03,520
Speaker 1: that they've lost two straight Lambeau, which this does not

1332
01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:07,840
Speaker 1: happen typically, and they had no business winning last Thursday night.

1333
01:07:08,120 --> 01:07:10,800
Speaker 1: So that what the difference in a a sixty one

1334
01:07:10,880 --> 01:07:14,520
Speaker 1: year old sixty one yard hail Mary is seven and

1335
01:07:14,640 --> 01:07:17,480
Speaker 1: five and the Packers in a total free fall instead

1336
01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:21,000
Speaker 1: of eight and four first place. Everyone thinks everything's okay

1337
01:07:21,080 --> 01:07:23,080
Speaker 1: with green Bay, but it's not. There's still the same

1338
01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:25,680
Speaker 1: team that's struggling to score points and hasn't even been

1339
01:07:25,720 --> 01:07:30,920
Speaker 1: dominant at home. Right was Randall Cobb? Four catches forty

1340
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:33,400
Speaker 1: six yards is what he's averaging over his last nine games.

1341
01:07:33,840 --> 01:07:36,200
Speaker 1: It's amazing, and he's paid ten million dollars a year.

1342
01:07:36,520 --> 01:07:38,840
Speaker 1: Neither Cobb nor Adams has a hundred yard game in

1343
01:07:38,920 --> 01:07:41,200
Speaker 1: the last ten games, and Adams is getting the targets

1344
01:07:41,240 --> 01:07:43,640
Speaker 1: to do it. So, I mean, these guys are the

1345
01:07:43,720 --> 01:07:46,920
Speaker 1: receivers are still killing Rodgers. What is wrong with Randall Cob? Why?

1346
01:07:47,040 --> 01:07:48,960
Speaker 1: I know he's not a pure number one, but what

1347
01:07:49,160 --> 01:07:50,880
Speaker 1: what is doing? What is he doing to make him

1348
01:07:51,480 --> 01:07:55,520
Speaker 1: a jack just I've learned over the years that skill

1349
01:07:55,600 --> 01:07:58,040
Speaker 1: position players and probably all NFL players do not play

1350
01:07:58,120 --> 01:08:00,400
Speaker 1: well through shoulder injuries, and he had one, and I

1351
01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:03,240
Speaker 1: believe in late August, you've been playing through it all year.

1352
01:08:03,560 --> 01:08:06,560
Speaker 1: You're probably afraid to get hit a little bit. And

1353
01:08:06,680 --> 01:08:09,600
Speaker 1: I think he's gotten a lot more defensive attention without

1354
01:08:09,640 --> 01:08:12,080
Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson there. And he's not the type. He's a

1355
01:08:12,120 --> 01:08:14,720
Speaker 1: slot receiver. It's why slot receivers don't get paid big money.

1356
01:08:14,920 --> 01:08:17,080
Speaker 1: They don't handle double teams. And the offense is looking

1357
01:08:17,120 --> 01:08:19,439
Speaker 1: a little better when in the beginning of the season,

1358
01:08:19,520 --> 01:08:22,680
Speaker 1: James Jones was looking rejuvenate and you thought, wow, you know,

1359
01:08:22,760 --> 01:08:24,760
Speaker 1: he just slides in and Aaron Rodgers is so good,

1360
01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:26,560
Speaker 1: he can make him a pro bowler again. But that

1361
01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:30,160
Speaker 1: obviously didn't happen. They're lacking weapons, and it's it's weird

1362
01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:32,760
Speaker 1: to say that about green Bay because you know, when

1363
01:08:33,240 --> 01:08:36,720
Speaker 1: when they resigned Cobb, we thought that was an absolute

1364
01:08:37,040 --> 01:08:40,000
Speaker 1: quintessential green Bay move where and you're gonna it's gonna

1365
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:42,960
Speaker 1: be great for Cobb's career. But losing Nelson and that

1366
01:08:43,240 --> 01:08:44,880
Speaker 1: I thought we all thought green Bay could still be

1367
01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:48,400
Speaker 1: successful without Nelson but that indirectly impacts the other receivers

1368
01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:51,200
Speaker 1: and moves everyone up a notch higher than they should be.

1369
01:08:51,680 --> 01:08:54,920
Speaker 1: And Cobb is not your bonus. He's not like from

1370
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:57,400
Speaker 1: the mold number one wide out. They're a mess. I

1371
01:08:57,479 --> 01:09:02,880
Speaker 1: mean they're playing Crockett in in a big game against Detroit.

1372
01:09:02,960 --> 01:09:05,840
Speaker 1: I'm forgetting his first name name right now. Uh you know,

1373
01:09:06,280 --> 01:09:09,240
Speaker 1: it's his first game ever for the Packers. You got

1374
01:09:09,360 --> 01:09:14,280
Speaker 1: your overweight and under motivated starting running back who has

1375
01:09:14,320 --> 01:09:16,639
Speaker 1: been the key to your offense or on some level

1376
01:09:16,920 --> 01:09:19,719
Speaker 1: late in the season on the bench. That's been a problem.

1377
01:09:19,760 --> 01:09:22,160
Speaker 1: They had seventy eight yards in the first half against Detroit.

1378
01:09:22,240 --> 01:09:24,000
Speaker 1: They did have a good comeback. I think they should

1379
01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:26,519
Speaker 1: be Uh you know, they were in a tough spot there,

1380
01:09:26,560 --> 01:09:29,040
Speaker 1: and their defense is what really won them that game

1381
01:09:29,080 --> 01:09:31,120
Speaker 1: by getting a lot of stops. I mean, there were

1382
01:09:31,200 --> 01:09:33,880
Speaker 1: so many possessions in that game. And I think their

1383
01:09:33,960 --> 01:09:36,800
Speaker 1: defense will be good enough to dominate Matt Castle and

1384
01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:39,960
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, and ultimately, whatever the offense does, I think

1385
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:41,720
Speaker 1: they can do what the defense can do enough to win.

1386
01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:44,240
Speaker 1: It also helps when the opposing coach on the final

1387
01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:47,559
Speaker 1: play is preparing his defense for a lateral, not a hill.

1388
01:09:47,640 --> 01:09:49,840
Speaker 1: Mary So, I mean, oh my gosh, I can't I

1389
01:09:49,880 --> 01:09:52,439
Speaker 1: still can't believe that happened that that they threw a

1390
01:09:52,520 --> 01:09:55,080
Speaker 1: lateral to Rogers with no time left on the clock

1391
01:09:55,160 --> 01:09:57,000
Speaker 1: and he's eight yards away and they wind up winning

1392
01:09:57,000 --> 01:09:59,800
Speaker 1: that game. It's just one of the craziest things that's

1393
01:09:59,800 --> 01:10:02,000
Speaker 1: ever happened at the end of a football game. And

1394
01:10:02,080 --> 01:10:04,320
Speaker 1: it's gonna cost him called Doll's job potentially. I mean,

1395
01:10:04,360 --> 01:10:06,680
Speaker 1: I think he had a chance to save it, and

1396
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:09,599
Speaker 1: I think that it all went out the window there, Uh,

1397
01:10:09,760 --> 01:10:13,080
Speaker 1: Davy Crockets. I mean, the same problem they have every week,

1398
01:10:13,120 --> 01:10:16,360
Speaker 1: which is nothing is on top, like, nothing is as

1399
01:10:16,479 --> 01:10:19,120
Speaker 1: planned in their offense. They're only players are Aaron Rodgers

1400
01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:22,920
Speaker 1: backs up, runs around and tries to improvise. It's basically

1401
01:10:22,960 --> 01:10:26,160
Speaker 1: what everyone says, Russell Wilson does, that's Aaron Rodgers does. Now,

1402
01:10:26,520 --> 01:10:28,400
Speaker 1: So that's on the play caller. Yeah, it's on the

1403
01:10:28,479 --> 01:10:32,200
Speaker 1: scheme and the play caller a lot cooters, okay though,

1404
01:10:33,720 --> 01:10:36,880
Speaker 1: well it's Cooter time. Cooters. Fine until Jim called Wells

1405
01:10:36,880 --> 01:10:38,880
Speaker 1: send packing and then we'll see what happens to Kudar.

1406
01:10:39,479 --> 01:10:41,519
Speaker 1: We all took the packers to take care of business.

1407
01:10:41,560 --> 01:10:43,360
Speaker 1: But we've been doing that a lot in the last

1408
01:10:43,400 --> 01:10:45,439
Speaker 1: six weeks, and it hasn't always played out that way.

1409
01:10:45,800 --> 01:10:49,640
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens. Moving on, the New England Patriots

1410
01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:53,599
Speaker 1: and uh they travel to Houston to face that the Texans,

1411
01:10:53,680 --> 01:10:56,840
Speaker 1: and you talking about your throwing at ease, Greg, Only

1412
01:10:56,920 --> 01:11:01,000
Speaker 1: the Patriots can get the Texans. You know, three days

1413
01:11:01,080 --> 01:11:05,640
Speaker 1: before the game. J J. Watt breaks his hand. I mean,

1414
01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:10,160
Speaker 1: come on, the greatest defensive player of a generation breaks

1415
01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:12,880
Speaker 1: his hand three days before he gets the Patriots. You

1416
01:11:12,920 --> 01:11:16,960
Speaker 1: almost think that somehow Bill Belichick's involved. Uh So, no,

1417
01:11:17,240 --> 01:11:19,400
Speaker 1: you do. I don't think Greg does. Apparently the other

1418
01:11:19,479 --> 01:11:23,360
Speaker 1: thirty one owners do. Apparently J J. Watt says he's

1419
01:11:23,360 --> 01:11:25,080
Speaker 1: gonna play, but he doesn't know, he doesn't know what

1420
01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:27,439
Speaker 1: he can do. He just broke his hand. Uh So

1421
01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:29,920
Speaker 1: the Patriots in a good spot there because if what

1422
01:11:30,120 --> 01:11:34,360
Speaker 1: doesn't play, he's J J. Watt. It's awesome w W

1423
01:11:34,560 --> 01:11:38,200
Speaker 1: E style narrative. They've contrived just to make J. J.

1424
01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:40,760
Speaker 1: Watt a bigger star. How about that for a conspiracy.

1425
01:11:40,800 --> 01:11:43,760
Speaker 1: I kind of like that too, j Watt doing that

1426
01:11:44,160 --> 01:11:46,160
Speaker 1: and then when he wins the game like with a club.

1427
01:11:46,240 --> 01:11:48,920
Speaker 1: But they'll be selling the club afterwards on Houston Texans

1428
01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:51,559
Speaker 1: dot com or something. Yeah, I can see the Texans

1429
01:11:51,680 --> 01:11:54,760
Speaker 1: like social media handler, like some twenty four year old

1430
01:11:54,800 --> 01:11:58,040
Speaker 1: out of Baylor being like, oh man, this club really

1431
01:11:58,080 --> 01:12:01,599
Speaker 1: club the competition. Not even a good tweet at least

1432
01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:04,160
Speaker 1: give a good like a good tweet would be nice.

1433
01:12:04,200 --> 01:12:05,639
Speaker 1: Come on, team. So you know what, I'm not looking

1434
01:12:05,720 --> 01:12:08,920
Speaker 1: forward to a close Texans Patriots game and watching the

1435
01:12:09,040 --> 01:12:12,559
Speaker 1: ending with you clowns up here in the studio. Oh,

1436
01:12:12,640 --> 01:12:15,840
Speaker 1: you're saying you don't like your team suffering in front

1437
01:12:15,880 --> 01:12:19,200
Speaker 1: of the entire news from Here's a little expert in

1438
01:12:19,240 --> 01:12:23,200
Speaker 1: this room and we're all just moment else know about

1439
01:12:23,200 --> 01:12:25,320
Speaker 1: that because the Browns don't play on Sunday nights. First

1440
01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:28,720
Speaker 1: of all, west End and Mark are you know bandwagon

1441
01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:32,559
Speaker 1: Patriots fans? And it's kidding. I don't like it because

1442
01:12:32,720 --> 01:12:34,519
Speaker 1: and I'll be rooting for the Patriots too. I don't

1443
01:12:34,520 --> 01:12:36,960
Speaker 1: want the Texans to win ten games, all right, there

1444
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:38,720
Speaker 1: we go, right, but you want them to win to

1445
01:12:38,760 --> 01:12:42,080
Speaker 1: say you would really? Yes, It's well, it's tricky. You're

1446
01:12:42,120 --> 01:12:44,560
Speaker 1: the best team. Have to worry about the despite what

1447
01:12:44,680 --> 01:12:46,360
Speaker 1: Greg says, you do not have to worry about the

1448
01:12:46,400 --> 01:12:49,559
Speaker 1: AMC South in the wild card picture. So I'm assuming

1449
01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:52,040
Speaker 1: the Colts are just gonna fall out. The Cults are

1450
01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:54,000
Speaker 1: a bad, bad football team. I'm gonna show some rare

1451
01:12:54,320 --> 01:12:56,840
Speaker 1: confidency and sometimes you say I underplay them. I think

1452
01:12:56,880 --> 01:12:59,960
Speaker 1: they'll responding. Gronkowski's back at practice on Thursday, they get

1453
01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:03,240
Speaker 1: in a little healthier. I think they'll be pay We

1454
01:13:03,280 --> 01:13:06,280
Speaker 1: don't know that. I mean, obviously that's a you took

1455
01:13:06,360 --> 01:13:10,920
Speaker 1: the Texans Texans before I knew about Watt's broken hand

1456
01:13:11,080 --> 01:13:14,200
Speaker 1: and Gronks returned to practice. I may change this pick

1457
01:13:14,320 --> 01:13:17,680
Speaker 1: Sunday morning, depending. I wonder if we might finally get

1458
01:13:17,840 --> 01:13:21,479
Speaker 1: like a breakout game from Clowney, because they've been doing

1459
01:13:21,600 --> 01:13:23,840
Speaker 1: things yeah, and they're putting like what next to him?

1460
01:13:24,600 --> 01:13:27,920
Speaker 1: And suddenly the offensive line is wondering, what on earth

1461
01:13:27,960 --> 01:13:30,160
Speaker 1: do we do with this? Clowney got to the quarterback

1462
01:13:30,320 --> 01:13:33,639
Speaker 1: last week and hey, Brady's been getting hit. He I wrote,

1463
01:13:33,760 --> 01:13:35,680
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the game against the Bills. He was

1464
01:13:35,760 --> 01:13:38,280
Speaker 1: really coming on in that Bill's game too, Uh not

1465
01:13:38,479 --> 01:13:41,200
Speaker 1: just especially against the run. He's been really good. I'm

1466
01:13:41,240 --> 01:13:43,599
Speaker 1: wondering if Brian Hoyer was the Jets quarterback, you would

1467
01:13:43,640 --> 01:13:45,200
Speaker 1: to be telling me he's ranked too low in the

1468
01:13:45,280 --> 01:13:47,400
Speaker 1: QB Index. I mean, that's the thing. Brian Hoyer has

1469
01:13:47,439 --> 01:13:51,320
Speaker 1: been playing well, That's what I mean. No, Ryan's Patrick's better. Yeah,

1470
01:13:51,840 --> 01:13:53,639
Speaker 1: I agree with that. Last thought in this game, catch

1471
01:13:53,720 --> 01:13:58,759
Speaker 1: a pass Brandon Lafel, Yeah, yes, killing Tom Brady who's

1472
01:13:58,800 --> 01:14:02,519
Speaker 1: playing well, still not well enough to be number one

1473
01:14:02,600 --> 01:14:04,840
Speaker 1: on the QB Index. Now Carson Palmer took it over.

1474
01:14:04,960 --> 01:14:08,519
Speaker 1: He's just been too good. And uh, finally we move

1475
01:14:08,600 --> 01:14:12,000
Speaker 1: on to Monday Night football. The New York Giants UH

1476
01:14:12,120 --> 01:14:14,400
Speaker 1: five and seven, tied for first in the NFC East,

1477
01:14:14,439 --> 01:14:16,400
Speaker 1: but they'll have a much better idea what's going on

1478
01:14:16,479 --> 01:14:19,679
Speaker 1: by the time they take the field UH in Miami

1479
01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:24,360
Speaker 1: to face the Dolphins. UH. Ryan Tannehill a finalists, and

1480
01:14:24,439 --> 01:14:29,280
Speaker 1: then Dalton scale Um re Ducks will have the prime

1481
01:14:29,360 --> 01:14:32,760
Speaker 1: time stage with Jon Gruden. I kind of I can

1482
01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:34,600
Speaker 1: imagine the jet This is how I picked us. I

1483
01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:37,280
Speaker 1: think the Giants win the game, and I can imagine

1484
01:14:37,400 --> 01:14:41,400
Speaker 1: three hours of John Gruden just um dissecting all the

1485
01:14:41,520 --> 01:14:44,960
Speaker 1: things that's wrong with Ryan Tannehill. Right now, that's how

1486
01:14:45,040 --> 01:14:47,599
Speaker 1: it's fun. It sounds like a good way to spend

1487
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:50,840
Speaker 1: the game. Winning Sacked by JPP, and I'll tell like

1488
01:14:50,920 --> 01:14:53,880
Speaker 1: that he came speaking of coming on. He looked JPP

1489
01:14:53,960 --> 01:14:56,640
Speaker 1: against the Jets. Um. I will also say this, I

1490
01:14:56,680 --> 01:14:58,880
Speaker 1: said this on our NFL Now hit. When there's smoke

1491
01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:02,519
Speaker 1: clears at the end of Week fourteen, the Giants will

1492
01:15:02,560 --> 01:15:05,400
Speaker 1: be alone atop the NFC East. Everyone else is gonna

1493
01:15:05,439 --> 01:15:08,639
Speaker 1: lose m We'll see if that works. Didn't. You also

1494
01:15:08,720 --> 01:15:11,320
Speaker 1: say Tom Coughlin may have lost his job last week,

1495
01:15:11,640 --> 01:15:13,960
Speaker 1: that nothing makes sense to the NFC. So yes, I

1496
01:15:14,040 --> 01:15:17,280
Speaker 1: said that to anybody. If anybody here wants to cover

1497
01:15:17,360 --> 01:15:20,680
Speaker 1: this game, it's all you're the Monday night guy. You're

1498
01:15:20,720 --> 01:15:23,360
Speaker 1: saying you would you give up the chance? I have

1499
01:15:23,439 --> 01:15:27,440
Speaker 1: a glazed overlooking my eye picturing watching this Giant's backfield

1500
01:15:27,479 --> 01:15:31,639
Speaker 1: for four quarters. It's really bad. Like the four boardsmen. Yeah,

1501
01:15:31,760 --> 01:15:33,719
Speaker 1: the Dolphins are a tough one. I think the Dolphins

1502
01:15:33,720 --> 01:15:36,760
Speaker 1: aren't even tougher. Watch right now. Well, I'm trying to think,

1503
01:15:36,840 --> 01:15:40,040
Speaker 1: what is it that attracts us to the Miami Dolphins

1504
01:15:40,040 --> 01:15:42,400
Speaker 1: If you're gonna saddle up and watch this game somewhere

1505
01:15:42,760 --> 01:15:45,080
Speaker 1: I I can't think of of too many things, or

1506
01:15:45,120 --> 01:15:48,639
Speaker 1: even one thing. It's the NFL, you know, fun things happened.

1507
01:15:48,680 --> 01:15:51,360
Speaker 1: But yeah, it could be a close game. That's not

1508
01:15:51,479 --> 01:15:55,000
Speaker 1: Dolphins specific, but that's fair. It's that's that's that's it.

1509
01:15:55,200 --> 01:15:58,320
