1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: The Around the NFL podcast only starting seventeen minutes late

2
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 1: today from the Chris Wesley podcast studio. It's Around the

3
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:16,279
Speaker 1: NFL only fifteen actually speak percise. Yeah, my name is

4
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 1: Dan Hansis I got heroes here? Greg Rosenthal, Mark Sessler,

5
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 1: Patrick Claibn. We've brought in reinforcements for the week two

6
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: preview show. What is up? Patrick? Much? Just glad I

7
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: can be back in here with you guys, just uh

8
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 1: watching the draft in person. M M. I hope to

9
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: not be as annoying during your process as I was

10
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: during your process on Sunday when I'm in that newsroom

11
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,279
Speaker 1: screaming while you guys are trying to watch. Oh that's right,

12
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 1: you're hosting game day highlights while we're watching games. Now

13
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: you're doing your job. Plus compared to Chris Rose, who

14
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: who you know, we're fans of his work, but a

15
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: booming voice that really is good. We're pros, like we

16
00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: understand what happens. Who are bringing in a newsroom in

17
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: and you're also behind the sealed off behind glass, so

18
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: you weren't as loud as you perceive yourself to be.

19
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: Now there's there are some people in this building that

20
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,919
Speaker 1: do have a problem with Patrick claiban because he's subversive

21
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: and who wears shorts to the office, which I love

22
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 1: that it's not subversive. I love it projection I'm wearing

23
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: shorts because I know, but doesn't like there's certain to

24
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,839
Speaker 1: like I'm wearing shorts here. Tell me not to side

25
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: long rail against male fashion. But when when Claibon goes

26
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: shorts in our office, it's an atypical honor cultural move.

27
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: I applauded. It's nameth in the white cleats, but here

28
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: NFL media, I like to be comfortable. I don't. I

29
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: don't know. We love it. I love having you here, Patrick,

30
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: because when we do the preview show, it's good to

31
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: have smart football people chopping up these games. And we

32
00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: got a why am I here? Then? Welcome Mark. We

33
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: we were wondering if you came down with a case

34
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: of geno itis on Tuesday, but there was a lot

35
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: of that talk. I would not have appeared well on

36
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 1: camera that day, I can promise I I knew immediately

37
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: when I'm been told you that I was not feeling well.

38
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 1: Was like Mark's lying about this. It's like I was

39
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: not I was not feeling well. It was not would

40
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: not have been pleasant for the viewer. I always returned.

41
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: I like Dan positions it is. There was a lot

42
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: of talk about geno itis. It was just out there

43
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: that had nothing. I just blocked it out. UM marks

49
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,240

00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,679
Speaker 1: BTS type thing. But anyway, the write a fun Show

Speaker 1: collins Worth second cousin to do come over. Wow, that

73
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:11,880

Speaker 1: five pm Pacific, seven pm Central, eight pm Eastern streaming.

75
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: It lives also on you. Is it on the NFL's

76
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: YouTube stream as well or no? We should work on that.

77
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 1: Let's just get that at some point. So you just

78
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: you just clanged. That's a good question. We will find

79
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: out what did Jack Collinsworth over the head with a

80
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: shovel that it's his son, right, okay, but watch it

81
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: on the fast, don't watch it on It's jack. They're

82
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: they're great. I'm sure it's a lot of sons. But

83
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: what about the next generation of around the NFL. They

84
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: have Walker being in the chair. Wouldn't you be cool

85
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: with that? Like Marco's to the Wilderness for good and

86
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: there's a chair open and Walker loves ball. I could

87
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: see you come up to me and we're like, hey,

88
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: how about Walker? Were we're working on it? Um, he

89
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: did try to pick up Carson Wentz in his nay League,

90
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: dropping DK Metcalf. So at this point I think the

91
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: analysis needs like a little more Workcalf did fumble on

92
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 1: Monday night, so you can't really get two on. So

93
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: nepotism is fine if it benefits the Rosenthal family. Yeah,

94
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: just to just to clarify, all right, let's get to

95
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: the games. Let's start as we always do with the

96
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: prime time games. Um, I don't know, listen, I don't

97
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 1: want to start on a negative note, but Packers bears

98
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: always I mean, it's a write of passage on Sunday

99
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: night for why though, all right, I'm not you know what,

100
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be negative and you know why

101
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: These are two teams that right now you could say

102
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: are good. Yes, the Packers lost, but we know the

103
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: Packers are gonna be okay. And the Bears had a

104
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: nice win in their building in Week one. So here

105
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: we go hope season in Chicago against Green Bay. Patrick Um,

106
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: I want to ask you twenty three seven Packers lost

107
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: on Sunday last Sunday against the Vikings. Do you think

108
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: we see a big turnaround for this offense in the

109
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: game against the Bears defense that although perform well in

110
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: the rain against the Niners, certainly can be attacked. Are

111
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 1: we gonna Is that going to be the talking point

112
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: coming out of Sunday Night football? Packers are back. It's

113
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: not gonna be that they're back, but they're certainly going

114
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: to be better. When you have so much newness adjusting

115
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: to a veteran quarterback that didn't play at all in

116
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: the preseason, there's gonna be that adjustment period, and we

117
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: saw it last year even with Davontae. They go out

118
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: against the Saints team and not saying that the Vikings

119
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: defense is sts defense, but it's just gonna be better.

120
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 1: I mean that the drop of course right off the

121
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 1: bat changes things Dobbs running wrong routes. They're gonna get better.

122
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: Um are the Bears? Right? There's so much thing that

123
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: happened in that Bears forty Niners game where it's like,

124
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 1: what is that? Was that rain? Was that newness? Like

125
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: we just don't know, And that's that's the week one thing.

126
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 1: But we do know Aaron Rodgers and these guys are

127
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 1: gonna get better as the season goes on. We we

128
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: know they found something in this kid, Dominique Robinson, the

129
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: fifth round pass rusher, And I think that's what you've

130
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: got to be looking for if you're the Bears. How

131
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: many young players can we find that flew Smatt eber

132
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: Flus knows how to use. They're they're starting the two

133
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: rookies in the secondary, including Jaquan Brisker was kind of

134
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: all over the field last week too. I'm willing to

135
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: believe that the Bears defense, especially has something a little

136
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: more special this year than we know. Like I'm willing

137
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: to admit we don't know anything about this Bears team.

138
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: Maybe they have a little more upside, especially defensively, uh

139
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: than we think. And I do think the Packers offense

140
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: is attackable right now. Aaron Rodgers did not look comfortable. Uh.

141
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: He held the ball forever last week, and it reminded

142
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: me of when he heard his collar bone, and that

143
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: was during a period of Aaron Rodgers career where he

144
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: was never sure what he was seeing out of his

145
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,559
Speaker 1: receivers and he would just hold and hold and hold

146
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: and hold. And that's not gonna work with this offensive line.

147
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: And so I want to see if the kind of

148
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: the synchronicity is a little better this week of just

149
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: getting the ball out of his hands. I mean, we

150
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: see that frustrated Aaron Rodgers periodically. I've not seen it

151
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: to the heights of last week on the side line,

152
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: just fuming, furious and probably super frustrated with the fact

153
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: that you've got Christian Watson dropping a wide open bomb

154
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: that would have been a touchdown. Plays just left on

155
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: the field. He missed Avanti Adams, he missed his two

156
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: tackles too, Like David Bactieri is practicing, but they showed

157
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: him and he's sort of limping around. I don't know

158
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: if he's going to be back or not. I don't

159
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: know how to pick these games every week because Jenkins

160
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: and Bacti are always like a huge questionable sounds like

161
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: always practicing and stuff, but then it's like they suddenly

162
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: are inactive. I think that's a huge issue for them

163
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: if they're if his offensive line needs to be intact

164
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: with all the other inexperience and X factors around him,

165
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: especially against big time opponents. But I do believe they

166
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: should be able to hand handle Chicago that he's always

167
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: always played tremendously well. And yes, Watson dropped that pass

168
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: and A. J. Dillon got stuffed at the goal line.

169
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: You know, those things get converted. And that's a very

170
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: different game last week. So I think Packers win. The

171
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: Vegas has this at about ten points spread, like that's

172
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: kind of what I see this game being that that

173
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: sounds about right. If you remember the last steer, the

174
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 1: Bears played them tough in both games, it was it

175
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: was close in the fourth quarter when Rogers eventually yelled

176
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: that I own you. And then there was that wild

177
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: Sunday night game that we watched where Justin Fields had

178
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: led them to an early lead. I want to see

179
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: this Packers defense that we've been gassing up though all

180
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: off season, like if you're a special defense, and they

181
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: looked like it on paper, but they didn't play like

182
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: it last week. They have a lot of advantages against

183
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: the Chicago offense and they should get a lot of pressure.

184
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: They should be clamp season on the receivers that the

185
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: Bears have, and they should make this kind of an

186
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: ugly twenty to ten type of game. Ten points does

187
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: feel about? I could? I could see that, and uh,

188
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: that's Sunday night football. Let's now move to Monday night football.

189
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: Last point I wanted to make that Matt Lafleur nine

190
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: and oh, coming off a loss in his Packers career.

191
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: It's a good coaching staff. It's not just um off

192
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 1: a playoff loss. But okay, they try. Actually they get motivated.

193
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: Maybe it's because they've just been good and they win

194
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,319
Speaker 1: more often than they lose, and so it's hard to

195
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: find us this an anti momentum take, Right, I think,

196
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: what do we think it is? What do we what

197
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: do we think they're hard? Good coaching staff can make

198
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: adjustments during the week, attack weaknesses in their game plan

199
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: the week before, and correct them and then perform better.

200
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: Right I I do they think there's something nice about

201
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: not losing two in a row in a season that

202
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: it's just like it's good. It's all right, let's get

203
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: to the Sunday of two Monday Night game. Why are

204
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: there two Monday night games in week two? That they are?

205
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: They are like Duelian Banjo's. It's like they're on at

206
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: the same time. Why are we doing I don't understand that,

207
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: you know what, I have a I have a theory

208
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: that they it's part of the package. You know, ABC

209
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: is getting one of these games, ESPN gets another, so

210
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,599
Speaker 1: it's like an extra game. But they didn't want to

211
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: do it week one because they wanted everyone watching that

212
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: Russell Bowl. Uh and they were smart to like people

213
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: love that. They didn't want anything taken away. I don't know,

214
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: I want to get a weirder time like that game

215
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: was so good one of the favorite games they were

216
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: going to get all year that they didn't want to

217
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: mess around with the time of it. I don't know.

218
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, because they're both really good games of the

219
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: the Monday night game. No, it annoys me mentally because

220
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: I don't want to on Monday night be tracking two

221
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: games at the same time. I like the Island game,

222
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 1: not the Sunday You track eight games at the same time, right,

223
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: So on Monday, I like to shift gears on Monday.

224
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: It adds a little wrinkle to the Monday night football recap.

225
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 1: Will be recapping two games this week. Oh look at you,

226
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna be alright, Graver is gonna be you know,

227
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: since there's two games at once, Graver will be keeping

228
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: eyes on that Titans game. If I think he will be,

229
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: I think he will be. Let's talk about the second

230
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 1: half on that Eagles. Let's talk about the game. At

231
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: seven fifteen pm Eastern is Tennessee Titans oh and one

232
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: and Buffalo Bills one and oh oh man. So yeah,

233
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: the Titans loss was a tough one. Obviously, they're up

234
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: there in control of that game. They let the Giants

235
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: get back in and then they give up the two

236
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 1: point conversion and then they get into field goal range.

237
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: Big bone. Randy blows it that. It's a tough way

238
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: to start your season. And now you gotta go to

239
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: Orchard Park here, Mark, and you get a Bills team

240
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: that was completely lights out on the Thursday night open

241
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 1: against the Rams. Now they get extra rest compared to

242
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: the Titans. That is kind of man, that's kind of unfair.

243
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it that the Bills get ten days

244
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: and the Titans get four. Smith was honking about this

245
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: too because he's in a similar situation because the Falcons

246
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: against the Ram that felt avoidable. But anyway, another advantage

247
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: for the Bills. This one feels like I could get

248
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: away from Tennessee as well. I want well. Tennessee has

249
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: been successful against Buffalo early in the year at times

250
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: when you thought they wouldn't be also, so I don't

251
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,079
Speaker 1: know if that carries over with this Titans offense. I

252
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: think Ryan Tannehill played well in that game last week.

253
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: That was not on him, But I want to see

254
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: number one Tennessee's defense that just got run over by

255
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: se Kwon Barkley. Can the Bills take advantage of that

256
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: with Josh Allen with their own running game, and does

257
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 1: Buffalo's defensive mastery? I mean the way they coached against

258
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: the Rams, they absolutely knew how to blow up Matthew

259
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 1: Stafford by not blitzing, by applying pressure. They're very deep

260
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: along the defensive front, and to me, I think that's

261
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: quietly their strength. We always talk about the offense, and

262
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: the offense looks unstoppable to me with big plays with

263
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 1: Josh Allen on the ground, But can Buffalo's defense neutralized

264
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: Tennessee And is their defense what we saw last week?

265
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: If that's a week to week situation for the Bills,

266
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: this is a very scary, scary, complete team with no

267
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: overt weakness. I look at that, and that's what changed

268
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: my mind about the Bills more than anything in Week

269
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: one or almost about any team, that if that front

270
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 1: line can play anywhere near that level over the course

271
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,199
Speaker 1: of the season, then this team is just different. And

272
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,439
Speaker 1: this Titans offensive line at that play okay last week.

273
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: On paper, they don't look that great. As you mentioned,

274
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: their offense has done great against Buffalo over the last

275
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: couple of years. They've scored six seventy six points in

276
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 1: their last two games against the Bills. But if the

277
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: Bill's defense is that deep, it's like, I don't know,

278
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: good night. They're the best team in the league by far.

279
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: You just have to examine, like the Week one situation,

280
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: the Rams were having trouble running the ball in the

281
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: playoffs as well, and styles make fights. It's cliche to say,

282
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,959
Speaker 1: but this, this Buffalo Bill's team is built to win

283
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: all these games against these a f C teams up

284
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: and down the field. But I think as far as

285
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: the way that the teams are constructed that Tennessee gives

286
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: them problems, but they didn't have von Miller last year.

287
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: And the theory Rousseau and bash them are just and

288
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: Epinezza are just like better. And that's a new thing

289
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: to add to. Oh, by the way, we have a

290
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: world destroying quarterback who at this point I just sort

291
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: of assume is going to be perfect until he has

292
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: a game where he isn't perfect because he's been perfect

293
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: three straight games and if you go back to that

294
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: Patriots regular season game, it's like four out of five,

295
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: like where like no one has beating him in these games?

296
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: Do you want him in world destroying mode as the

297
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: team's leading rusher? Like? Do you want that for eighteen weeks?

298
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: Is that something that you're going to be able to do?

299
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: Like against the Rams and the opener is one thing

300
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: like Josh Allen playing is that though it's the playoffs?

301
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: But are you gonna run him ten times? I think

302
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: that's who he is. But I think that there if

303
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: you look at their big play passing game, they don't

304
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: have they don't have to be that the way they

305
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: had in the past. I mean, they're they're wide out

306
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: group is so deep. There's it's like if if you

307
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: cover step On Digs who has total great chemistry with

308
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: him and Josh Allen who threw them on the run

309
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: at over thirteen miles an hour, which was the fastest

310
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: running delivery by a quarterback on a deep touchdown pass

311
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: and next GENS stats history. Next, you gotta let Josh

312
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: Allen just be who he is. I wouldn't limit them

313
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: at all. This is your Super Bowl window. It's wide open.

314
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: He's your dog. You got to use them. Hey, justin

315
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: does it annoy you? Listen, it's a ten points spread

316
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: here for a number one seed last year, of course,

317
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: and doesn't annoy you that on a short week with

318
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: the Bills with extra rest, the way the desert is

319
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: saying it, the way you know, the ESPN coverage and

320
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: the pregame shows is all going to be about a

321
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: party that's all built for the Bills to have another

322
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: dominant outing. As a Titans fan who's already got a

323
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: chip on your shoulder about being overlook than not being

324
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: taken seriously, it's got to be really annoying to you.

325
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: The way they've set this game up in the schedule.

326
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: I mean it is what it is. Here's a nug

327
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: for you. Mike Vverybele as head coach of the Titans

328
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: is two and oh, including a regular season and post

329
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: season when the Titans are underdogs by ten points, Like, yeah,

330
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: you could see them keeping it close, even that game

331
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 1: last year they were down late. I thought there were

332
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: a lot of more positive things watching the Titans than

333
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: I expected. I think Tannehill played well in past play

334
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: Kyle Kyle Phillips is a dude. He's suddenly one of

335
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: their better players. It was the second straight Titans game

336
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: where I was like, you know what, it wouldn't hurt

337
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: to play Dontrell Hilliard a little more and maybe Derrick

338
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: Henry a little less. But I also thought Derrick Henry

339
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: looked much better than you gave him credit for on

340
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: that Sunday night recap, Like he had more juice than

341
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: he did in that playoff him. I think he's running well,

342
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: and that's a good problem to have to have two

343
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: good running These things take time. He started that the

344
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: season where he went ballistic, or which I believe was

345
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: last year. Right off the bat, he had like fifty

346
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: seven yards and he came right back. They went to

347
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: Seattle the road. He look hurt. In the playoff game,

348
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 1: he did not look her. I thought a week way digger.

349
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: When the Titan's head back to Nashville for Week three,

350
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: they gotta win in their back pocket or they in

351
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 1: desperation times. I picked against Tennessee, but I can see

352
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: them winning. They can win this game. Why not? But

353
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: will they? Yes? The right. Let's move on to for

354
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: some reason, the second Monday night football game. This one

355
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 1: starts at eight thirty, so at least you get like

356
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 1: you can watch the end of the fourth quarter. It's

357
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 1: not head to head straight up. There's some break in there,

358
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 1: but still not about it. This one is at Lincoln

359
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 1: Financial Field. This is Vikings at Eagles. Love it, Greggy.

360
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: Great match of Vikings where I thought one of the

361
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: most impressive UH teams in Week one, the way they

362
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 1: kind of just took it to the Packers in the way.

363
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: Not just as we talked about, um, I think on Tuesday,

364
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 1: or maybe it was Sunday, Not just that Justin Jefferson

365
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: did Justin Jefferson things, but how he was being used

366
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 1: in this new offense and everything just seems great and

367
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: fresh for the Vikings right now. But now they go

368
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 1: to Philly against the Eagles, whose offense you could argue

369
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: looked even better, albeit against the Lions. Right, I think

370
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 1: both of these offenses are gonna be so tough to stop.

371
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 1: I probably would have picked whoever was the home team.

372
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,159
Speaker 1: I ended up taking the Eagles, but I feel like

373
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 1: it's a toss up. But to me, the reason the

374
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: Eagles are so dynamic offensively other than that line is

375
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: is Jalen Hurts is running like Yes, he's a good

376
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: enough passer, but there was a play last week on

377
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: third and goal from the two yard line where he

378
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: should have had about a six seven yard loss, And

379
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: there were a lot of plays like this that should

380
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: have been negative plays. It should have been about a

381
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: six seven yard loss. He's so patient waits for people

382
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 1: to get past him. He's great at cutting, he's great

383
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 1: at vision. He's one of the few running backs are

384
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: runners as a quarterback that actually think could be a

385
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 1: running back. Josh Allen would be another one. They they're

386
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: but so naturally gifted and they're so powerful. And he

387
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: ended up cutting back, beating about four or five guys,

388
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: getting it back to the one yard line so that

389
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:16,679
Speaker 1: they could go for it on fourth and goal, and

390
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: then they call his number again and he gets a

391
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: touchdown with it, and that just makes them impossible to

392
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 1: guard when you have a j Brown, Dallas Godder and

393
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: uh Davante Smith, who I think will be more involved.

394
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: I just don't think there's an answer to stopping this

395
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 1: Eagles offense. And that's why I think like the box

396
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: score lies, because yes, he had seventeen attempts for ninety yards.

397
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 1: But Jason Kelsey and his offensive line loves Jalen Hurts

398
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 1: because Jason Kelsey said, he just bailed us out over

399
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 1: and over. They're a good offensive line. But he was

400
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: under the darrest and half of those attempts were him

401
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: creating plays which would have been a disaster if you

402
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 1: had a stone age pony in the pocket who couldn't move.

403
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: And so he adds so much versatility to that offense.

404
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you something, this Vikings team, this Vikings team,

405
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,160
Speaker 1: I have been down on the Vikings for a long

406
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: long time. I really think when you talk about changing

407
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 1: from Mike Zimmer to Kevin O'Connell, that the energy around

408
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 1: this team, and they showed it last week that you

409
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: have Kirk Cousins, who was you know, Mike Zimmer and

410
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, we chronicled that weekly on this show. We're

411
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 1: you know, oil and whatever. Like, yeah, they were not friends.

412
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: And like Kevin O'Connell has put total support into Cousins,

413
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 1: into Justin Jefferson. Cousins and Justin Jefferson are tight. It's

414
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: very different than Stefon Diggs. I think this Vikings team

415
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: with Justin Jefferson is basically unstoppable in a bunch of matchups.

416
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: And it's why we're gonna get the best Kirk Cousins

417
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: season that we've ever gotten. And I know a game

418
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: want to no type of game like this is no Dan.

419
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: I know you were a little hazy on the Vikings

420
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 1: at the end of that Packers game, but do you

421
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: not sense something a little bit different here because you've

422
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 1: long tracked the Vikings were not going to agree? I agree.

423
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: I agree with you that their offense they just stand.

424
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson is specifically what looked incredible in this game

425
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 1: in terms of like buying all the way in on

426
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:02,479
Speaker 1: the Vikings. I guess I need a little bit more

427
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 1: of a sample size, But I also you know, I

428
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: picked him for the playoffs. I think they have a

429
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: chance to make noise. And I think that should be

430
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 1: a wake up call to the Packers that there's a

431
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: chance here. There will you will not cake walk to

432
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: another NFC North title here. I've and going back to

433
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: the Jalen Hurts, Miles Sanders sue being healthy. I know

434
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: he kind of fell off the grid a little bit

435
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 1: last year. He was banged up, didn't even score a touchdown.

436
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: That is that's not fair with that offensive line with

437
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 1: Hurts and Sanders, and then you throw in a J. Brown.

438
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: We talked, we did talk about a J. Brown on

439
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: Tuesday and what he's meant to that team immediately. Yeah,

440
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 1: Eagles are a problem. And the downside of this game

441
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 1: is because early season overreaction type stuff. The loser of

442
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: this game is like, oh there's problems. We believe in

443
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 1: Kurt Cousins. What was the mistake Jalen Hurts. Long term?

444
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,639
Speaker 1: This isn't sustainable. Like, these are two very good teams.

445
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: And the thing that jumped out to me was if

446
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: we put Jalen Reagor in that game and take a J. Brown,

447
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,360
Speaker 1: put him back in Tennessee, the the the Eagles lose

448
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: that game. Yeah, I think I think to lose that game,

449
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: and the impact that he had was just so clear

450
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 1: and demonstrable, and I can't wait to see what he

451
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,360
Speaker 1: can do with the credit to the Eagles for going

452
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 1: and getting it, because it changes their offense entirely. I

453
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: would say one thing on Justin Jefferson. If James Bradberry,

454
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 1: Darius Slay and Chauncey Gardner Johnson and the rest of

455
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: that secondary can't simmer him down, who in this league

456
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 1: will what matchup? Right? They were a little on even

457
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 1: last week. They blitzed more than they used to against

458
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: the Lions. That didn't really work. Uh So it was

459
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 1: a weird It was a weird game. But the Vikings,

460
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 1: if they fall down, will stay aggressive. One thing Adam

461
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 1: Theeland said that really stuck out to me. He's like,

462
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: I've never been on an offense that just keeps attacking, attacking, attacking.

463
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: And I don't think he was specifically saying we kept

464
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,239
Speaker 1: passing while up by two scores, that's part of it.

465
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: I think he meant that you're gonna look at the

466
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: weakness of the other team and you're going to continue

467
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: to attack that no matter what the situation, no matter

468
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: what the score, throughout the game instead of just sitting

469
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: on leads and and he was loving it. Eagles DC

470
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 1: Jonathan Gannon does not search his name on Twitter and anymore.

471
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: It's not popular right now on this guy. Right now

472
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:07,640
Speaker 1: it is Philly fans who about um? And I call

473
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: this the hard eyes game. Going back to Colleen from Tuesday.

474
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: Whoever wins this game, everyone's gonna have hard eyes for him.

475
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 1: Now you can say heart or hard eyes, whatever you think,

476
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 1: but this this the winner of this game is gonna

477
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 1: be like the talk of the NFL. A lot of people,

478
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 1: maybe even old Zuser Tugboat himself, will have them very

479
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 1: near the top of the power rankings. Well, I had

480
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: the Eagle's winning the Super Bowl, so you can you

481
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: do it for me? Philadelphia? I have them losing the

482
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,439
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, so do it a little less for me.

483
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: So you have hard eyes for the Eagles. Already did

484
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: the vikings. Maybe you'll have hard eyes if they beat

485
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 1: your beloved Eagles. Hard eyes game. Who can earn Greg's heart?

486
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: Monday night? Alright, we're just getting started. We're gonna start

487
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: the draft, We're gonna do our locks. Will check in

488
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: at the Cincinnati Zoo. All coming up next. All right,

489
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: we are back, let's go draft time. How do we

490
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 1: do last week in the locks? Markey and Danny got

491
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 1: our locks, Greggy got his lock. Grave Digger had a

492
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: bad Sunday but went home to Yes. So it um

493
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: so Wesleyan Brothers pulled one, us pulled one out of

494
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: the old buttocks, so they are one of Oh, the

495
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 1: season is off and running, so that's coming up. But

496
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 1: let's start with the draft. And it is Greg Rosenthal

497
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: kicking things off. And I'm really intrigued about this one, boys,

498
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 1: because this see, I've never been more certain of what

499
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: the first overall pick would be given Greg's you know

500
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 1: what he prefers h And yet the man was torn

501
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 1: asunder by self doubt as we began today. There was

502
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: a last minute change for the number one overall pick.

503
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: Ultimately I realized I had to take the best that

504
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: is Bucks Saints first up, and that's the course. But

505
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 1: there was another game that I just want to see

506
00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: some next time. It deserves it for a team that's

507
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: when thank you. It's amazing. This matchup to me is

508
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 1: already like so different than it has been in previous years.

509
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: Like I feel I felt like I knew who the

510
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,880
Speaker 1: Saints were, and maybe they'll prove me wrong this week,

511
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: but I don't feel like I know what their defenses

512
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: right now. Uh, they didn't have much of a pass

513
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: for us. They were pushed around last week. They're usually

514
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 1: a great run defense, and they struggled against Atlanta. Maybe

515
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 1: it's a one week thing, but I think this match

516
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: up against the Bucks where they came out showing a

517
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: little bit different look on their offensive, you know, plan

518
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: and in their game everything with Leonard four Nett, and

519
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 1: I think that could be a tough matchup for them.

520
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: That the Bucks are running the ball. Well, I gotta

521
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: see Marcus Davenport, let's do something here. Cam Jordan's get

522
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 1: after Brady every week. Every time these two teams play,

523
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 1: the secondary of the Saints just does something special to

524
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,439
Speaker 1: drive Tom Brady crazy. But that was a lot of

525
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: players that aren't there anymore. Marcus Williams uh ceed deuce

526
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: and it was kind of the synchronicity and the cohesion

527
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,199
Speaker 1: that they had on the back end. So are you

528
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,880
Speaker 1: still that same Saints team? If if you are, then

529
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: you win this game. But they are home underdogs despite

530
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 1: the history. Well, the other reason that they're so different

531
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,439
Speaker 1: from the four no record that the Saints have had

532
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: against Brady the lastwo years is that they're now deep

533
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: at wide receiver. I thought Jamis Winston in that comeback

534
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 1: against Atlanta played the best quarter I've ever seen him

535
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: play in his entire career. I mean, it was absolutely

536
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 1: on fire. And like that pass to Jarvis Landry, the

537
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: combination of the throw in the catch, we're completely electric.

538
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I believe in this offense. I I I

539
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,400
Speaker 1: think they worked themselves out of a jam. Atlanta, surprisingly

540
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: out of nowhere, made life very difficult for Winston. Four sacks.

541
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 1: They've rushed them and blitz them all over the place.

542
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: They found their way out of that hole. And I

543
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: know Winston, who we long have thought of as sort

544
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: of a pick six droid, in his last eight games,

545
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 1: eight starts, he has a sixteen of three touchdown interception ratio.

546
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,679
Speaker 1: That started with Sean Payton reeling him in. But they

547
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 1: didn't reel him in at the end of this last game.

548
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: And so I think this is a better version of

549
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:07,679
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston and Dan. I think it goes down to

550
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: that lasic surgery that he had. Is demand that changed

551
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 1: your opinion? Yes, I I said before the show that

552
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: I thought, because I long thought that Jamis Winston was

553
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 1: someone that you could start. But he's gonna cost You

554
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,919
Speaker 1: can push on this a little bit, because yes, he

555
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: was eleven of twelve for a hundred and fifty six

556
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: yards and two touched on passes after he came out

557
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 1: of the blue tent there and whether there was a

558
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: late third or early fourth quarter that was awesome. But

559
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: you know, and it's not all on him. They didn't

560
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 1: do anything before that. And yes he avoided the killer turnover,

561
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: but I'm not I still see him a little bit

562
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,120
Speaker 1: as a guy is a hot and cold guy. Sometimes

563
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 1: the offense with Jamis Winston looks great. Some sometimes he

564
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 1: goes to sleep. Sometimes he kills you with a turnover.

565
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,159
Speaker 1: Although you're right and that's fair, Like, this is a

566
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:53,679
Speaker 1: different offense, different different team, different coaching staff. So if

567
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 1: he could eliminate that stuff that's always been the thing.

568
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 1: Atlantic got to him in the first two and a

569
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 1: half three quarters of that game, neutralized what he could do.

570
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: Then suddenly they went to sleep. I think they got tired,

571
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: and he went to work. He turned electric. Yeah, it's

572
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: fundamentally different when the number one wide receiver isn't Marquess

573
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: Callaway anymore. Sure, it's an entirely different thing. And while

574
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: the Saints defense, I don't view them as the trade

575
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: of C J. G J still kind of questionable. Me.

576
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,439
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm still wrapping my brain around why that

577
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: was necessary to get rid of a good player and

578
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 1: send it to a contender in the NFC. But this

579
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 1: Buccaneers team, as as impressive as Julio was with his

580
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 1: sixty nine yards and the opener, they don't seem as good.

581
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: They don't seem as my offensively. And those were exceedingly

582
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: good Bucks teams that those Saints defense was repeating. But

583
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: I don't think they need to be as good, uh

584
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: in this edition of the game. Right. But when when

585
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: I watched, I was saying, like, I'm I'm more down

586
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: on the Saints defense, but I'm higher. I think the

587
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: Saints proved more offensively in Week one than almost any

588
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: team just by watching Jarvis Landry and Michael Thomas. Yeah,

589
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: they fit because that wasn't the normal Jarvis Landry of

590
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 1: the last two years, that was playing through broken ribs

591
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,959
Speaker 1: and and just kind of like fighting through it. He

592
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,479
Speaker 1: was moving so well. Some of those throws from Jamis Winston,

593
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: the touch pass he had down the sideline to Thomas.

594
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: Thomas looked like a dog. So they proved a lot.

595
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: They gotta stay healthy. And Alva, even though he was

596
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: quiet in that game, the three catches that he had,

597
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 1: just like, he looks like such a pro. They they're

598
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: gonna be more explosive, and I think they're gonna be

599
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 1: worse defensively than they were. It's gonna be a different thing.

600
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: We haven't really talked about the Bucks so far, and

601
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: we should because I think Larva, Jarvis Landry great call,

602
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: looked fresh, looked explosive, just like Julio Jones. Uh. And

603
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: they're in the same boat where it's like, yeah, this

604
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: is the version they get all season. This is gonna

605
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: be huge. They have to prove they could stay healthy.

606
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: But it's a great start in week one. And you

607
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 1: know the fact that the Bucks again now are dealing

608
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: with more offensive line issues. Uh, Donovan Smith had that

609
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 1: elbow injury. Is he playing in this game? Is out?

610
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: Is his status? Here? Was it practice on Thursday? I

611
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: don't know what. So we all know Brady's a master

612
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: in the pocket and everything, but you keep on taking

613
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: pieces away from that line. It feels like a good

614
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: opportunity for the Saints to ball out and and create

615
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 1: some issues for him. So no Chris Godwin. He had

616
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: a set back, a hamstring injury. It feels like a

617
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 1: good spot for the Saints here. I kind of like

618
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 1: him in this game. This game is too early in

619
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: the season. I feel like both of these teams are

620
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 1: a little too undercook. I like him in this game.

621
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: Anybody else Saints, I'm with you. I think the Bucks,

622
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: like Mike Evans is banged up, Russell Gauge is at

623
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: least back, but they're there. They have issues at wide receiver,

624
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: they have issues at the offensive line. Tom Brady did

625
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: not look like Christine tom Brady to me. Lest I

626
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: took the Bucks on game picks, but this was the hardest.

627
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: It was the hardest game to pick mark second overall pick.

628
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: All right, Um, you just took the game that I

629
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,719
Speaker 1: wanted annoyed, but you also knew that probably was how

630
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: that was gonna end. So what reason I missed that? Yeah?

631
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: My backup to me is a deep second place, but

632
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: I am I have had a somewhat of a fascination

633
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 1: for the Arizona Cardinals and I knew it. You thought

634
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 1: you thought I would do. I know you have this

635
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: thing with the Cardinals. It's it's also to me it's

636
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 1: the Raiders and this because it's two teams into my hands.

637
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: All right, well, I'm still picking the game I wanted,

638
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: but it's two teams coming off bad losses and I

639
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: just want to see, like who can climb out Because

640
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: to me, if you're Arizona, yes, you can focus on

641
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 1: the fact that the offense didn't get a lot done

642
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: in that game and that that I don't think Kyler

643
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 1: Murray is a quarterback that can be a one man

644
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: band and save you alone. It just doesn't have enough

645
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: pieces around right now. But the defense to me, was

646
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: an ultra disaster. That game against the Chiefs was over

647
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 1: in about twelve minutes. And so if you're Derek Carr,

648
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 1: who's coming off what I thought was one of his

649
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: worst games, those three interceptions, I mean, it's just like

650
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: terrible decisions. He has said after he needs to not

651
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 1: be dangerously aggressive the way he was in that game,

652
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: and I agree with that when you get the bad version,

653
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: does that mean we're gonna get super conservative? I just

654
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: think like if you look at his interceptions and they

655
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: were just decisions. They were bad decisions, and so I

656
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: think it's it's cleaning that up and not taking the

657
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: Raiders out of the game. He took them out of

658
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: the game, and you can't do that. You though against

659
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: Arizona can get healthy real quick. I don't see anything

660
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: right now that the Arizona defense can do very well.

661
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: And it starts with their secondary me which just we're

662
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 1: absolutely shredded and they're not going to play the Chiefs

663
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 1: every week. But last year when they started out seven

664
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: and oh and went to nine and two, a lot

665
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 1: of it was their defense that went off a cliff

666
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: by the end of the year. But they don't have

667
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: any of that right now. And I also don't trust

668
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: their offense or their coaching. To me, it feels like

669
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: I'm interested in this game because whoever loses this is

670
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 1: dipped in total chaos. That's what Mark looks for end.

671
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: It's like a milk chocolate covering you. You just get

672
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: dipped in and then out in the chaos. It's the

673
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 1: stuff from who framed Roger Rabbit. It just it makes

674
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: everything I'm not as ready to punt. You're not like

675
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 1: you said you're not gonna play the Chiefs every single week.

676
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 1: You're not gonna get Andy Reid and dialing, and you're

677
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 1: not gonna have to cover Travis Kelsey as the one

678
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: um all the time. It's it's in terms of who

679
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: had the worst performance, it is the Cardinals because Derek

680
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: car is not going to play that bad. It wasn't

681
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 1: just the interceptions. There was Darren Waller on the goal

682
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: line and he just absolutely whiffed on it. Like he's

683
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 1: not going to do that every single game. Um. But

684
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 1: in terms of who is in the worst position after

685
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 1: this one, I think, I think this is a Raiders win.

686
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: It's a lot's going wrong in the desert. Can I

687
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: tell you one thing real fast? I am so confident

688
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 1: that it will be a Raider's win. Oh could? He would?

689
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: He will? He will, he will be doing it. I'm

690
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: locking it up for the Raiders. Interesting, So you you

691
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 1: are now of the opinion that the Cardinals are about

692
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: to turn into a like a flaming turn. I'm not there.

693
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: I'm not there yet because I think saying that after

694
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: one week, you're just turned into a sort of a fool.

695
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 1: But but you did say it would be dipping do

696
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: you take a big go oh and two and you've

697
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 1: extended the coach, You've extended the GM, you've extended the quarterback,

698
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,239
Speaker 1: our vision and who we are is going to be

699
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: great for the next five or six years, and you're

700
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 1: suddenly oh and two and look direction lists. Yeah, I

701
00:33:55,240 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 1: think that's probably. It's also it's it's like, hey, these

702
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: are two good teams. They're they're two good teams, but

703
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: I mean the Raiders were barely made the playoffs a

704
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: year ago. Is coming off a loss. If you lose

705
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: this game convincingly and and there are there are significant underdogs,

706
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 1: and I think there's a good reason for that. And

707
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:18,839
Speaker 1: that's why I'm also locking up the Raiders. It's like,

708
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 1: normally I would pivot. Maybe I should pivot. It's just

709
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:29,839
Speaker 1: boring to be uh yeah, but it was my one

710
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 1: ahead of time, and it's it's because the Raiders are

711
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 1: a team that I think can attack Arizona's weaknesses on

712
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 1: both sides. I really liked what I saw to Patrick Graham,

713
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:43,839
Speaker 1: which I think was an underrated higher I think Josh

714
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: McDaniels did a great job building his staff in his

715
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator Patrick Graham did a good job against the

716
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: Chargers a week ago, and he can change up the

717
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: game plan from week to week. And you look at

718
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: what the Cardinals struggled with a week ago, and I

719
00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: think they're gonna blitz Kyler Murray like crazy. They're gonna

720
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 1: to test the communication between Kyler and his offensive line,

721
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,760
Speaker 1: which just they didn't seem really ready for the start

722
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 1: of the season. Like the first play of the season,

723
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 1: which I always think coaches think a lot about, was

724
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: a quarterback uh design run for Kyler where like everyone

725
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 1: screwed up. The offensive line didn't really know what the

726
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 1: play was, and it ended up getting blown up like

727
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 1: three yards in the backfield. And I was like, that's

728
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 1: the first play and Kyler was so uncomfortable. There was

729
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,240
Speaker 1: a there was a fourth down call in the second half.

730
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 1: What what what? What? What? Where? Kyler Murray, it's a

731
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 1: fourth down call and he looks to his primary read

732
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:41,840
Speaker 1: who was the running back on the plan, think it

733
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 1: was Zeno Benjamin, but he stumbles and Kyler Murray just

734
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 1: sort of gets panicked and gets off that read a

735
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 1: little too quickly, even though he was wide open. And

736
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 1: then he just starts running around and things go crazy

737
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:56,280
Speaker 1: and he I feel like he doesn't need the field

738
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 1: sometimes and it could be it could be the hight

739
00:35:57,960 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: thing a little bit, but he just missed open read

740
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 1: me like like Derek Carr, he made about four or

741
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 1: five throws in that game. That it's one thing to

742
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 1: have a bad game when you're not a good quarterback.

743
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: When these guys have bad games, he had four or

744
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: five gems. So did Derek Carr in his game too.

745
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: I think Kyler Murray will be fine, but I do

746
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: not think the Cardinals defense will be fine. I do

747
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 1: not think the Cardinals offensive line will be fine, and

748
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,319
Speaker 1: I do not think it's fine. Greg Dortch is their

749
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: number one receiver right now in Arizona. Um Mark, I'm

750
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,359
Speaker 1: gonna ask you. You asked me Josh McDaniels, like, what

751
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 1: did he look like on the sidelines week one? Did

752
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,439
Speaker 1: he look like his brain was melting? And I didn't

753
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: know I was flummix? Did you take away any Josh

754
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,839
Speaker 1: McDaniel's sideline takes when you rewatch the game, they don't

755
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 1: do that and condensed version, But I don't think that

756
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 1: it wasn't a big narrative. I mean, he I don't

757
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: remember that as much as as other instances. All right,

758
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 1: let's now move to my pick. I will go with Dolphins.

759
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 1: Ravens Dolphins. That was the one I was gonna take

760
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 1: one overall. I think I want to watch that game

761
00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:59,399
Speaker 1: even more, but it just didn't feel right. You gotta

762
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,359
Speaker 1: take back. It's a good game. It's a it's gonna

763
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 1: be a fun game to watch. Um because obviously the Ravens,

764
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 1: I'm I'm thinking the Ravens you imagine, are feeling pretty

765
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:11,280
Speaker 1: good about themselves right now. They've they've started the new season.

766
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 1: They wiped away all the ugliness of the way things

767
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,280
Speaker 1: went last year, with all the injuries and the meltdown

768
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 1: down the stretch. They get the win win where Lamar

769
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 1: doesn't need to be running around a lot. You know

770
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 1: he has in his back pocket whenever he needs it,

771
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 1: but actually used the passing game to to wipe out

772
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,319
Speaker 1: the Jets by the end of the third quarter. Um,

773
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 1: so you have them feeling good about the passing game,

774
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 1: I imagine. Uh, the defense put the clamps down on

775
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,760
Speaker 1: old friend Joe Flacco, who is you know, the epitome

776
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: of the stone aged pony uh in the NFL right now?

777
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 1: I he is, like, he's that dude now two is

778
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 1: not that dude. I'm not saying two is like the

779
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 1: most explosive athlete with his legs, but he can move around,

780
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 1: he can make things happen. And I just the reason

781
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 1: I so the Ravens side, I'm excited to see them

782
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 1: build off week one. Are they gonna Are they gonna

783
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 1: be a team that's like four and oh and October.

784
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 1: I could kind of see it. The Dolphins I want

785
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 1: to see more because yes, they controlled that game against

786
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 1: the Patriots, but obviously New England is in a bad

787
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 1: spot right now offensively, and um, you know, I know

788
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: the Tyreek Hill stuff was good in Week one, but

789
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 1: you got the late first half touchdown to Jalen Waddle.

790
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: Other than that was a twenty point outing for Miami.

791
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 1: Can they hang? Can they stack some points? Claybourne against

792
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 1: a good defense like the Ravens, I think they absolutely

793
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 1: can hang and they can stack points. I'm picking Baltimore

794
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 1: in this game. Probably some homerism involved in that, because

795
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:34,320
Speaker 1: I do think that the the Dolphins are better team.

796
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 1: But I looked at last season's game. The Ravens are

797
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: your favorite team, they are my favorite team. I got

798
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 1: my favorite player. I got to meet him this summer.

799
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,280
Speaker 1: That was fun. That was cool, cool moments and stuff,

800
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 1: very nice. But the just being ready for them to

801
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 1: go all out Brian Flores is gone. I don't know

802
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:54,880
Speaker 1: if they're gonna have the same exact game plan, but

803
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 1: they do need to be ready. And last week's game

804
00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: against the Jets reminded me of the things that Baltimore

805
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 1: wasn't able to do um in that game. The thing

806
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 1: that jumped out to me was there was a a

807
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: blitz in a early game situation and uh Lamar put

808
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: a ball towards the goal post. Sammy Watkins kind of

809
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 1: pulled up on it because he would have smashed into

810
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 1: the goal post, and then that was it. There were

811
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 1: no more deep shots. The rest of the game was

812
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: just Lamar getting brutalized. Blitz after that was last year

813
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:23,320
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins. Things have changed, they got new coaching

814
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 1: staffs there. But I think last week against the Jets

815
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 1: um the amount of times the deep shots, which was

816
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,240
Speaker 1: really the offense, it was those three deep shots. UM

817
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 1: shows that things are different. Things are different now, Greg Roman.

818
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:40,399
Speaker 1: I hope, yes, Well we'll see. I think we'll see.

819
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 1: I think this is the perfect game for it because

820
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 1: the Dolphins have the same defensive staff with Josh Boyer. Uh,

821
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 1: they have the same players. For the most part. They

822
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 1: blitzed the hell out of the Patriots and confused them,

823
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 1: and so this is it. I think the the Ravens

824
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 1: saw the schedule, not that they weren't going to change

825
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:01,240
Speaker 1: their offense anyways, but it wasn't just a one week

826
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:05,879
Speaker 1: problem that the Dolphins exposed. In the Ravens coaching staff, uh,

827
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 1: in Greg Roman, in Lamar Jackson, they never really were

828
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 1: able to adjust. Now, there were injuries, and Lamar handled

829
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 1: the blitz great throughout his career until last year, but

830
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 1: it was a problem that continued. So this is a

831
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 1: litmus test. And I think some of the things you

832
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:23,360
Speaker 1: saw Baltimore do last week, to me um is a

833
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 1: sign of change. They were running a lot more under center.

834
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:29,320
Speaker 1: This is the heaviest pistol shotgun team in the league

835
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: by far over the last five years, and they were

836
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 1: playing some more traditional under center football. They were doing

837
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,720
Speaker 1: some zone running, which maybe takes advantage of Linder Bomb

838
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 1: their rookie uh offensive It didn't really work that well

839
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 1: against the Jets, to be fair, their running game, but

840
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:48,240
Speaker 1: I think they were trying to like diversify the offense

841
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 1: so that they're ready for a game like this, and

842
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 1: it's one of the reasons I'm excited to see it.

843
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,919
Speaker 1: I want to see if J. K. Dobbins, who's been

844
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:58,399
Speaker 1: practicing this week and according to beat writers, looks really good.

845
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:00,840
Speaker 1: I think that matters because you know, we know what

846
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 1: the Ravens. I think they still want to be a

847
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 1: team that can dominate on the ground and you and

848
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:08,399
Speaker 1: they weren't last week there it was one of their

849
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 1: more putrid running performances in a long time. I do

850
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:14,320
Speaker 1: think Miami and the way that they dominated New England,

851
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 1: I mean the Blitz. They made life so tough. Like

852
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:18,879
Speaker 1: after watching that, I was a little I mean their

853
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 1: defense punished like to have, for instance, had just the

854
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:27,439
Speaker 1: same game. He always have the difference. I'm saying, better

855
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: offensive against Matt Jones. Like me, they won that game

856
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 1: up from they certainly won that game. The question is like,

857
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 1: what does that mean at this stage of the where

858
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,800
Speaker 1: the Patriots are in the season. How impressive was it?

859
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:41,839
Speaker 1: How would that hold up against the better office. That's

860
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:45,879
Speaker 1: why I am locking up the Baltimore Ravens. They will

861
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 1: be to and oh they will be another team that's

862
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:49,360
Speaker 1: going to be a buzzy near the top of the

863
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 1: power rankings type team after this performance. Because I don't know,

864
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 1: I know you always say it. Maybe you're right, Greg,

865
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 1: Like I just don't. I'm not feeling the Dolphins. I

866
00:41:57,719 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 1: always say, don't trust you know, I'm a I'm a

867
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: Dolphins if this is going to be my lock. So

868
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:06,359
Speaker 1: if you're looking for disrespect Dolphins like I was, this

869
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,839
Speaker 1: is a close one be here. So we're disrespecting your team? Yeah,

870
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:12,359
Speaker 1: I mean, show show us something, show us that you

871
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 1: are legit, that all this hype in the summer, you

872
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 1: go to Baltimore and you hang it on Lamar and

873
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 1: Company and get out of there too. And oh with

874
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 1: wins over the Pats and Ravens. Oh yeah, there's gonna

875
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:27,399
Speaker 1: be some humble pie devoured by old Zeuser and even Greggy. Yeah,

876
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 1: I'll eat it, give a little taste. You mentioned Dobbins

877
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 1: might be back. Ronnie Stanley is practicing, Marcus Peters is practicing,

878
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 1: And weirdly, they didn't play nick Boyle last week. You

879
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 1: almost got the sense it was like the Ravens were

880
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 1: there easing into the season. But if they get those

881
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:46,759
Speaker 1: three or four guys back. That's a different team than play.

882
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 1: But if they don't have Stanley Juwan James, his backup

883
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 1: got hurt. And in your town, you're a third guy

884
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:54,880
Speaker 1: that is a problem against Miami's defense. And just to

885
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 1: put a cap in this conversation, Patrick, the Ravens your

886
00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:59,760
Speaker 1: favorite team. You said you got to meet your favorite

887
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 1: play What was it like meeting punter Jordan's stout and

888
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 1: what was it about him that you were So he's

889
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 1: taller than he was going to and when your name

890
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:12,359
Speaker 1: is Jordan's there's this there's this mystique that comes with

891
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 1: of course for people of our age. And I took

892
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:18,799
Speaker 1: that personally right. And so he was a motivated guy

893
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 1: and I appreciate the things that he brings. I don't

894
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 1: want to see him kick at all. All right, my

895
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:28,919
Speaker 1: second uh Snake Falcons rams and go. You know, good

896
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 1: for the Falcons. I don't. I'm not buying on the Falcons.

897
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:37,399
Speaker 1: And I certainly, I mean, why how could you? How

898
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 1: could you? Because this just trails back to last year.

899
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 1: I think you've got to Arthur Smith Apostles here, and

900
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:48,240
Speaker 1: you've sort of never really been Smith Apostle. Okay, listen,

901
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 1: that was a nice start to that game. But that

902
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 1: was one of the great hatchet choke jobs, uh in

903
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 1: a week one that I've ever seen up twenty two three,

904
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:58,799
Speaker 1: in total total control of that game. Um no, not

905
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:02,799
Speaker 1: that it was what was it? What was to ten

906
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,959
Speaker 1: with ten minutes ago? And you can't close the game out?

907
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 1: And uh, here's why I don't. I don't like what

908
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,400
Speaker 1: I saw from the Falcons other than the great start

909
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 1: was like Mariota was right at the center of the meltdown.

910
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:18,279
Speaker 1: I mean with the turnovers in that game. Um, I

911
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:20,359
Speaker 1: just I hated it. And I think it's a bad

912
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:22,240
Speaker 1: spot for them right now because even though the Rams

913
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 1: have their own issues, UM, I think this is going

914
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 1: to be a game where listen, Patrick, I think they're

915
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:31,799
Speaker 1: gonna be pissed. I think they're gonna be annoyed. I

916
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 1: think they're gonna say, yeah, we got we got our

917
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:37,360
Speaker 1: ass kicked in prime time on Thursday night to start

918
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 1: the season, and that's a bit of a wake up call,

919
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 1: and we are going to identify what we struggled with

920
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:44,880
Speaker 1: and we're gonna take it out on the poor Falcons

921
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:47,840
Speaker 1: who went from having a win over their most hated

922
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 1: rival flying into week two against the defending champs, to

923
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, potentially this turning into a turkey shoot.

924
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 1: I think this could get ugly. Don't don't come to

925
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 1: Clayvon with the with the they're gonna try harder this

926
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 1: week analysis. He's gonna swat it right there. Who said

927
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 1: who said they're gonna try harder? Who said that just

928
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 1: that they'll be like extra motivated that they wouldn't be

929
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 1: motivation real to Somebody's got to clear up these things

930
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:16,359
Speaker 1: to me, Danna saying the Falcons are not that good.

931
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:19,279
Speaker 1: They had an opportunity to be the team that their

932
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:21,760
Speaker 1: arrival with and I'm not I'm not saying that Marcus

933
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 1: was dribbling the ball out of bounds. They did have.

934
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 1: There was that turnover, then Jamis came on um and

935
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 1: some of those story so they were in the game

936
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 1: just in typical Falcons fashion. It was heart I mean,

937
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:38,399
Speaker 1: botching the snap at midfield of a chance to run

938
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:42,040
Speaker 1: out the clock Mariotte, I mean that can't happen, dude.

939
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:44,720
Speaker 1: You gotta step up and make a play in that spot.

940
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, I just I'm a little annoyed by that

941
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 1: performance and how how you can truly blow a game

942
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:51,759
Speaker 1: at that level. I think they're a tough team to

943
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 1: prepare for. With Drake London now really looking like he's

944
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 1: going to be a legit quality starting receiver from the jump,

945
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:02,279
Speaker 1: It's just a lot of different formations that Arthur Smith

946
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 1: can get into. I'm not really sure what to think

947
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 1: about the Rams defense after one week. I do give

948
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 1: him a bit of a pass because they were playing

949
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:09,759
Speaker 1: the Bills, but I also don't expect them to be

950
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:11,800
Speaker 1: a top five defense. I mean, I think ten points

951
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:14,719
Speaker 1: is way too much. I'm loving the Falcons here uh

952
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 1: to cover the spread well. So Joe no Foom has

953
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:20,360
Speaker 1: a spraying m c L that's not good news. I

954
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 1: mean he got jobbed and worked over against Buffalo as well.

955
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:25,880
Speaker 1: I I'm not throwing that game out against the Bills.

956
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 1: I think it's it was a litmus test in the

957
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:29,799
Speaker 1: Rams were not out coach number one. I think that's

958
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 1: why they're gonna be agitated. Dan Sean McVeigh takes us

959
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:36,439
Speaker 1: up so personally, and it happened on NAT weren't ready

960
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:38,239
Speaker 1: to play. I do think that they're gonna come out

961
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 1: as prepared as possibly. They used the same personnel grouping

962
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 1: on every single play last week, and I think you've

963
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 1: got to show a little more that's what they are,

964
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 1: but you've got to show a little more versatility. The

965
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 1: run game did not exist. If this is a if

966
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 1: there's one babe way into this is the dan ps

967
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 1: and what he did against Jamis Winston was constant blitzing.

968
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:58,879
Speaker 1: That's who that's right, and that's not and we I mean,

969
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,440
Speaker 1: I'm so tired of this metric and Matthew Stafford, but

970
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:03,279
Speaker 1: if you blitz him, he does better. It's like, so

971
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 1: you've got to do what the Bills did and I

972
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:06,359
Speaker 1: don't know what the Falcons defense can do that And

973
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:10,760
Speaker 1: suddenly Ken the secondary deal with Cooper Cup is Allen

974
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:12,759
Speaker 1: Robinson getting more involved in this game. I just would

975
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 1: like to see a little bit more there because he

976
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:17,920
Speaker 1: was he was a non existent ghost in that opener. Um.

977
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 1: Josh Norris, who's Josh with? Now he's with Underdog Fantasy,

978
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 1: which is a great product. I was watching some of

979
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 1: their stuff that's sort of national ads um. He kind

980
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 1: of threw it out there in their YouTube streaming show

981
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 1: where they go through each team. He's like, is Allen

982
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 1: Robinson watched? It's like that felt that's strong, but he

983
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:37,799
Speaker 1: was completely out of his depth and he and he

984
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 1: pointed out that Robinson didn't seem when you study the

985
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:43,680
Speaker 1: film to really have a strong grasp on the offense

986
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 1: the way he was running his routes in the way

987
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 1: that that game played out, which I thought was interesting.

988
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 1: Um So keep an eye and Robinson if if because

989
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:52,799
Speaker 1: it made sense, and we were gassing him up all

990
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 1: summer these reports coming from Camper that he looked like

991
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 1: a who Rodrigo who covers the team for the athletics,

992
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 1: that people were coming up to her and just saying

993
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:06,760
Speaker 1: unbelievable that Allen Robinson, Yeah, it's kind of an important

994
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:10,360
Speaker 1: game for him, And you mentioned Joe note Boom. His

995
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 1: backup is second year undrafted free agent A. J. Jackson,

996
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 1: And we should mention they lost their starting center for

997
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:18,400
Speaker 1: two to four weeks. He finished the game out for

998
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 1: the Rams, and then we found out after the game

999
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:22,320
Speaker 1: he had been playing through an injury. So that offensive

1000
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:26,319
Speaker 1: line is a concern. Let's chill. Let's chill on on

1001
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:29,719
Speaker 1: washing Allen Robinson. They're not gonna play They're not gonna

1002
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 1: play the Bills every week. It's not gonna be Von

1003
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 1: Miller against the maybe injured Joe note boom over and over.

1004
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 1: It makes sense that he should have a big game here.

1005
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:43,439
Speaker 1: If he doesn't, I gotta say that Arthur Smith being

1006
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 1: that angry after the game and saying, how oh you

1007
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:47,799
Speaker 1: write us You wrote us off in May, you can

1008
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 1: write us off going into this week. They got the

1009
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:52,600
Speaker 1: extra rest like continue doing. Uh. Just a little bit

1010
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:54,680
Speaker 1: of me believes in the Falcons more because of that

1011
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 1: with it calling them a playoff team. But we were

1012
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:00,160
Speaker 1: saying they were gonna be like a top two pick us,

1013
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:02,400
Speaker 1: meaning they'll like lose this game by six points or

1014
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 1: eight points, and they'll they'll get they'll get MCMA, you know,

1015
00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 1: a team. I truly had no respect for the Falcons

1016
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 1: this one. I'm open to them being improved seven games

1017
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:14,560
Speaker 1: though with nobody. Yeah, but if you watch again, you

1018
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:17,080
Speaker 1: knew that was a bad team. That was a bad

1019
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 1: Falcons team. Last year. This team, I think they were

1020
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:25,920
Speaker 1: thirty second in d v O A and managed to

1021
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:29,280
Speaker 1: win in seven games. So that seemed a little um.

1022
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a break and we roll on

1023
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 1: with the draft. All right, we're back now. Now, Now

1024
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:41,279
Speaker 1: we go back to Mark Sessler, who I know he's

1025
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:44,359
Speaker 1: this This is the prime Sessler spot where he's like,

1026
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 1: what is a fast game? What's a blowout? That's a

1027
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:50,239
Speaker 1: bad game? Where I could check a box and kind

1028
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 1: of keep an eye on it, but really much, what's

1029
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:55,919
Speaker 1: gonna happen much Browns? So it's gonna be an early game? Okay?

1030
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 1: What do we got? Bengals of Cowboys? Okay, all right,

1031
00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:02,880
Speaker 1: they listen, that's a late game. But it does sound like,

1032
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:06,279
Speaker 1: hold on, that's a disastrous move by me because I've

1033
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:08,400
Speaker 1: already taken a late game. That's okay, you can have

1034
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 1: two late games, just don't get a third. All right,

1035
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:12,719
Speaker 1: I'll go. I'll go Bengals with Dallas. I expect this

1036
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 1: to potentially not be close. Uh. I want to see

1037
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:20,240
Speaker 1: how the Cowboys try to handle themselves on offense because

1038
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:23,880
Speaker 1: when Cooper Cup came into that sorry rush came in

1039
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 1: like it to me, that thing got even worse than

1040
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 1: it was with Dak Prescott. What are we expecting that? Like?

1041
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 1: What if they don't move the ball? Does that mean

1042
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:34,719
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have bad coaching or bad what does it mean?

1043
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:38,360
Speaker 1: As much you can take from it, but would you

1044
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:41,320
Speaker 1: maybe use like Tony Pollard a ton along with Zekelly

1045
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:43,400
Speaker 1: and just run the ball NonStop and not put it

1046
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:46,880
Speaker 1: in your backup quarterbacks hands. I just think the Bengals

1047
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:50,239
Speaker 1: defense is strong. It's it's all your same personnel from

1048
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:52,240
Speaker 1: a year ago. You want talk about a team that's agitated,

1049
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 1: it's the Bengals right now. And this is a now

1050
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:57,480
Speaker 1: the Cowboys that you know things have been different. This

1051
00:50:57,480 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 1: would have been a challenging game for the Bengals. I'm

1052
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:02,320
Speaker 1: seeing people all over the place saying quietly saying, I

1053
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:05,000
Speaker 1: think Dallas could pull this one out. I have seen

1054
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:10,080
Speaker 1: little like just on Twitter, little about this, not Stephen Jones,

1055
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:15,680
Speaker 1: like if your defense could attack since he's offensive line,

1056
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 1: which did not people Okay, but yeah on on papers

1057
00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:22,239
Speaker 1: Cowpas defense versus the Bengals, Yeah, maybe you can get

1058
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 1: after Joe Burrow. Like I did not like that. Zach

1059
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:29,480
Speaker 1: Taylor was in the position of kind of explaining away

1060
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 1: the sex well, some of them were on Joe and

1061
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:32,800
Speaker 1: some of them and if you're gonna it was like,

1062
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:34,759
Speaker 1: if you're gonna have ninety four plays and that was

1063
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:37,399
Speaker 1: the most offensive plays any team has had in twenty years,

1064
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:38,719
Speaker 1: and you're gonna have a lot of sacks. And I

1065
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:40,719
Speaker 1: was thinking Okay, yeah, that makes sense. And then I thought,

1066
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,520
Speaker 1: wait a second, he got hit like seven times in

1067
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:46,800
Speaker 1: the first quarter. He got sacked in in in pressure

1068
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:49,799
Speaker 1: up the middle, leading to interceptions all early in that game.

1069
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:51,640
Speaker 1: They were getting dominated. They don't tell me about the

1070
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:55,160
Speaker 1: ninety four snaps. It's a problem, and the Cowboys are

1071
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:57,440
Speaker 1: well positioned to to make that a problem. But you

1072
00:51:57,520 --> 00:52:00,919
Speaker 1: gotta play on both sides, and it doesn't least there's

1073
00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:03,040
Speaker 1: no reason to think that the Bengals lost this. I mean,

1074
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 1: we were talking about an epic disaster for the defending

1075
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:08,080
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Los love Joe Burrow in this game. And

1076
00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:13,120
Speaker 1: I'm still very concerned about this Cincinnati offensive line because,

1077
00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:16,759
Speaker 1: and Greg, you've said this in the past, like it's

1078
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:20,160
Speaker 1: very it's a very true thing. When teams devote a

1079
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:23,680
Speaker 1: lot of resources or draft picks into offensive line in

1080
00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:27,840
Speaker 1: the spring, there's sometimes this tendency be like that's fixed now, Okay, great,

1081
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:31,279
Speaker 1: but that offensive line was not fixed against Pittsburgh in

1082
00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 1: Week one. And that doesn't mean the offensive line is

1083
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 1: bad still, but it means right now it's still not

1084
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 1: holding up and the Cincinnati Bengals, this guy is so

1085
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:41,839
Speaker 1: special and so fun to watch Joe Burrow, they are

1086
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:44,600
Speaker 1: playing with fire. They already got his knee blown out once.

1087
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:46,680
Speaker 1: They're getting him beat up. You've limped off the field

1088
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:48,480
Speaker 1: in Super Bowl fifty six. He got beat up in

1089
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:51,359
Speaker 1: Week one in his third season. You gotta protect this

1090
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 1: kid before it ruins your season and maybe his career.

1091
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:58,799
Speaker 1: Um that said, I expect Joe Burrow in Dallas. He's

1092
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 1: a prime He's a money here. He loves the spotlight.

1093
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:03,839
Speaker 1: He's got chrisma for days. He's gonna go off and

1094
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:07,439
Speaker 1: destroy that, aren't we. A Minka Fitzpatrick blocked extra point

1095
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 1: away from saying that Joe Burrow went through a nightmare

1096
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:12,960
Speaker 1: and because he's Joe Burrow found his way out of

1097
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 1: it and helped the bank. I think he showed that

1098
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 1: he didn't blink. And that's and that's the thing about

1099
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:22,520
Speaker 1: having Burrow and Chase on this team is they're not

1100
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:25,560
Speaker 1: out of it. They can score. Hid a concussion in

1101
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:27,560
Speaker 1: that game and I think really hurt them and he

1102
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:29,560
Speaker 1: might not be back for this week. But Joe is

1103
00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:32,840
Speaker 1: rusty Joe, and that's just the horrible defense to face

1104
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:36,520
Speaker 1: in week one. Being rusty not necessarily be on the

1105
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:39,200
Speaker 1: same page. Having to get a new offensive line to

1106
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:41,680
Speaker 1: play together. It's just a horrible situation. In Week one,

1107
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:44,840
Speaker 1: the Cooper Rush isn't scaring anybody. The fact that that

1108
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:48,080
Speaker 1: goes down and our thoughts about the Cowboys instantly is like,

1109
00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:51,720
Speaker 1: they're gonna be Cooper Rush. Rush is scaring Jerry Jones probably,

1110
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:53,640
Speaker 1: and he's going to affect the defense too. And it's

1111
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:56,520
Speaker 1: not Cooper Rush's fault, he's Cooper Rush. But they're gonna

1112
00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:59,480
Speaker 1: be on the field constantly. You imagine Dallas's defense is

1113
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:01,399
Speaker 1: gonna be a vick them of Dallas's offense. So that's

1114
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:03,080
Speaker 1: kind of always see this game playing out. And that's

1115
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:06,080
Speaker 1: what happened last week. Right like early last season, we

1116
00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:08,480
Speaker 1: had this conversation and Nick was involved in it, Nick

1117
00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:11,359
Speaker 1: westleying Phil Westley that like with some defenses when they

1118
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 1: have some juice to them, and I see it with

1119
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 1: the Chargers so far, when they got a little juice

1120
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:18,400
Speaker 1: to them, like the whole seed, like the energy, everyone's

1121
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:20,680
Speaker 1: just getting crazy and they're they're all working really together,

1122
00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:22,960
Speaker 1: you can tell. And the Bengals defense had that early

1123
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 1: last year. We were like, Oh, this Bengals defense could

1124
00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:27,919
Speaker 1: really be something. Now they're in Phase two. Dan, They're

1125
00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:31,280
Speaker 1: like us as a podcast. This is my official pros

1126
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:35,360
Speaker 1: who are bros. Defense of the Year. They just like I,

1127
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 1: have played together. They know what they're doing. They're not

1128
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:41,200
Speaker 1: going to give up any stupid plays. They've been to

1129
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:43,479
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. They are pros who are bros. Pros

1130
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:45,400
Speaker 1: who are bros. Do not like Cooper Rush beat them.

1131
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:47,880
Speaker 1: That's for sure. Totally with you. And if this was

1132
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:49,960
Speaker 1: in the lock zone, I would do it. But it's

1133
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:53,719
Speaker 1: not so I won't two books. I'm taking Gino, of

1134
00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:57,640
Speaker 1: course I am. I mean that was the game I

1135
00:54:57,680 --> 00:55:02,200
Speaker 1: needed to take. The Seahawks getting crazy, disrespected, nine and

1136
00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:06,200
Speaker 1: a half point underdogs after the Rainmaker came through. Didn't

1137
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:08,239
Speaker 1: mention that on Tuesday's show. By the way, they come

1138
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:15,200
Speaker 1: Monday and a half. I didn't mention it. Of back padding. Well,

1139
00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:18,799
Speaker 1: I somehow was not at that. Yeah, Marc hasn't heard

1140
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:22,520
Speaker 1: either one. Wanted to let him know. I do think

1141
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:26,080
Speaker 1: that's crazy, though. I think it's I think it's crazy

1142
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:28,000
Speaker 1: for the Seahawks to be that big of an underdog.

1143
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:29,799
Speaker 1: I know there could be a little bit of a

1144
00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:31,840
Speaker 1: letdown in terms of just the emotion. You're on the

1145
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:34,759
Speaker 1: road now and it's a short week, UH, and the

1146
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:37,760
Speaker 1: forty Niners pass rush is gonna get after Geno Smith,

1147
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:41,520
Speaker 1: who was the number one quarterback in the NFL UH

1148
00:55:41,560 --> 00:55:43,960
Speaker 1: in terms of e P a versus pressure. Last week

1149
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:47,640
Speaker 1: he handled pressure very well. It's gonna be tougher against

1150
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:49,799
Speaker 1: his forty Niners team. But the reason why it's so

1151
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:53,200
Speaker 1: disrespectful to is Pete Carroll owns Kyle Shanahan. He's won

1152
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:55,439
Speaker 1: four in a row against him, He's eight in two.

1153
00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:58,960
Speaker 1: I think overall there's something against with Russell Wilson as

1154
00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:01,440
Speaker 1: his quarterback, I get it, but there's something about this matchup.

1155
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:05,240
Speaker 1: Those weren't all great Seahawks teams. That between special teams

1156
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:08,920
Speaker 1: and between being able to consistently move the ball against

1157
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:11,800
Speaker 1: this forty Niners defense. And I think what Gino showed

1158
00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:13,920
Speaker 1: is he can move the ball. There's gonna be a

1159
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:16,000
Speaker 1: lot of long field goal drives. I think there's gonna

1160
00:56:16,040 --> 00:56:18,280
Speaker 1: be a lot of shortening them games. That's what Pete

1161
00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:19,880
Speaker 1: Carroll likes. And I think this is gonna be a

1162
00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:22,479
Speaker 1: close game. It's hard for me to see the forty

1163
00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:25,839
Speaker 1: Niners as some ten point favorite world destroyers. I'm with you,

1164
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:29,279
Speaker 1: Like to me the Seahawks. What happened against Denver is

1165
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 1: exactly what Pete Carroll wants every one of these Seahawks

1166
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:34,280
Speaker 1: games to be. And I'm less concerned at this point

1167
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:37,720
Speaker 1: with the idea that it's Gino Smith versus Russell Wilson

1168
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:40,279
Speaker 1: because Gino, bottom line, played really well and I think

1169
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:45,319
Speaker 1: that's who he is and who can right back, let's go.

1170
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:48,719
Speaker 1: I'm more concerned with with Trey Lance, like he got

1171
00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 1: outplayed by Justin Fields. He's gonna do a couple of

1172
00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 1: things every game that are fascinating, but to me, just

1173
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:56,399
Speaker 1: I'm not sure he's able to run this offense or

1174
00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:59,200
Speaker 1: if inside the Niners organization, how much rope he has

1175
00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:01,919
Speaker 1: to do it. And it's meant there is a chance

1176
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:03,920
Speaker 1: of rain at this at the time of this broadcast

1177
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:06,959
Speaker 1: to tumble down like it did last week on Trey Lance,

1178
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:08,560
Speaker 1: and he did not make the plays in that game.

1179
00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:15,040
Speaker 1: I mean he didn't just because some of this. How

1180
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:17,600
Speaker 1: about like like the the entire month of August two

1181
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:20,040
Speaker 1: where he's up and down. I am Tray Lance stand

1182
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:21,960
Speaker 1: like I want him to succeed, and I think he does.

1183
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:24,480
Speaker 1: Give him a chance. I am giving him a chance,

1184
00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:27,120
Speaker 1: but he did not play him play. I'm looking forward

1185
00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:29,240
Speaker 1: to have to play in the ring like you gotta be.

1186
00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:31,840
Speaker 1: That's different. What happened a week one in Chicago is

1187
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:35,560
Speaker 1: somebody went through like all the Shanahan heavy rain games

1188
00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:38,160
Speaker 1: and you know, Garoppolo stats and all those games were

1189
00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:40,960
Speaker 1: almost identical. That's what happens when you're playing a crazy monsoon.

1190
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:43,880
Speaker 1: I think I'm with you that if if Trey Lance

1191
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:48,200
Speaker 1: struggles and they lose again, they're the whispers are going

1192
00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:51,120
Speaker 1: to start. But I'm willing to give him the opportunity

1193
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:54,520
Speaker 1: here to show I'm not not giving him the opportunity

1194
00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:55,960
Speaker 1: like I don't want to go down that road where

1195
00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:57,959
Speaker 1: it's like I'm just saying that was more you're coming

1196
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:01,680
Speaker 1: from more of the pessimistic a viewpoint, extremely high on

1197
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:03,120
Speaker 1: him a week ago and now I'm just but then,

1198
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:09,000
Speaker 1: just give him some chances because that game, the last

1199
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:11,360
Speaker 1: six minutes of that game, when the rain picked up again,

1200
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 1: they could have had Jerry Rice, Joe Montana Rathman. Let's

1201
00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:18,919
Speaker 1: get John Taylor on the field, Brent Jones, I don't

1202
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:20,680
Speaker 1: get Steve Young in there just in case and they're

1203
00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:23,240
Speaker 1: not scoring any points. I think they will. I think

1204
00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:26,720
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan and Trey Lance and this game, this team

1205
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:29,120
Speaker 1: is going to go off against Seattle. I think it's

1206
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:32,880
Speaker 1: another blowout. I thought we're about there, did it? It's

1207
00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:35,520
Speaker 1: not in the lock zone. Actually it's it's too they're

1208
00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:37,960
Speaker 1: too heavy a favorite. And also Seattle had no business

1209
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:40,920
Speaker 1: winning the game on Monday night, So I'm that's what

1210
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:43,400
Speaker 1: the Pete Carroll game is. Getting two fumbles at the

1211
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:47,080
Speaker 1: one yard line and a coach meant got stopped at

1212
00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:48,920
Speaker 1: fourth and one at like the five too. Though, So

1213
00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:52,840
Speaker 1: if we're if we're taking hypothetical points, are the quarterback smith,

1214
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:56,760
Speaker 1: I think the conversation about Trey Lance is gonna dial

1215
00:58:56,800 --> 00:58:58,720
Speaker 1: up and we're gonna get more Jimmy G cutaways. But

1216
00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:01,400
Speaker 1: I don't think that changes thing inside the facility in

1217
00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:04,200
Speaker 1: Santa Clara. Like they've gone down the road with Jimmy G.

1218
00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:06,640
Speaker 1: They've seen what the peak is with Jimmy G. We're

1219
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:08,720
Speaker 1: nowhere near it with Trey Land. So I think they're

1220
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:10,440
Speaker 1: gonna be able to stay through even if this is

1221
00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:14,320
Speaker 1: a loss. Um we're gonna get If they're one in four,

1222
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 1: I'd be concerned. He's a gigantic human being. Greg Snake,

1223
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:29,160
Speaker 1: all right, I gotta take Commanders, Woses and Lions as

1224
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:34,760
Speaker 1: my game. Uh. I think they will be fun. I'm

1225
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:41,880
Speaker 1: kind of sounds super confident with my backup game. I

1226
00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:45,560
Speaker 1: don't really uh, I think this Commander's team has some

1227
00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:51,360
Speaker 1: juice to it. Maybe I'm a little too into Scott

1228
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:54,720
Speaker 1: Turner and always thought like that the Scott Turners a

1229
00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:57,680
Speaker 1: little underrated as a play caller. But I gotta say,

1230
00:59:57,760 --> 00:59:59,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if this Lies defense is ready for

1231
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:05,080
Speaker 1: what Scott Turner's bringing. Look, it seems crazy, but Curtis

1232
01:00:05,120 --> 01:00:08,640
Speaker 1: Samuel seems to unlock all things Scott Turner. It's like

1233
01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:12,200
Speaker 1: that's Scott Turner's binky. And he was so creative with

1234
01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:15,160
Speaker 1: how you use Samuel and Gibson, two guys who can

1235
01:00:15,160 --> 01:00:17,920
Speaker 1: both play running back and can both play receiver, And

1236
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:22,040
Speaker 1: it was flumm mixing the Jaguars uh in their coverage,

1237
01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:26,080
Speaker 1: like they were getting Antonio Gibson wide open as a receiver,

1238
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:30,000
Speaker 1: similar to what I saw out of Landry and Michael

1239
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:32,720
Speaker 1: Thomas for the Saints last week. The way that Curtis

1240
01:00:32,720 --> 01:00:35,840
Speaker 1: Samuel and Antonio Gibson looked in Week one changed my

1241
01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:38,560
Speaker 1: mind a little bit about the Commanders. For now, we're

1242
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:41,240
Speaker 1: at peak Samuel. He's making people miss. He made a

1243
01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:43,080
Speaker 1: lot of key first downs, even though he didn't blow

1244
01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:45,600
Speaker 1: up like for fantasy. He really kept that offense going.

1245
01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:48,320
Speaker 1: And Gibson was running hard. He was running like he

1246
01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:51,720
Speaker 1: was as a rookie. He's so dynamic. Suddenly Terry McLaurin

1247
01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:54,919
Speaker 1: has all this help. Johan Dotson's got the strongest hands

1248
01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:59,520
Speaker 1: man Like he's catching his touchdown pass in mid air

1249
01:01:00,040 --> 01:01:02,520
Speaker 1: and then he's putting the ball away, switching from right

1250
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:04,480
Speaker 1: to left hand to tuck it away so they can't

1251
01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:06,760
Speaker 1: knock it out while he's in the air. This is

1252
01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:09,760
Speaker 1: a rookie, Like I know it's Carson wed. I think

1253
01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:13,280
Speaker 1: it's a dangerous offense for a bad Lions defense to

1254
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:16,280
Speaker 1: go against. I think this is a fun team. I'm

1255
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:18,960
Speaker 1: with you. I'm with you. I'm buying on the Commanders

1256
01:01:19,040 --> 01:01:21,920
Speaker 1: being frisky offensively this year. I thought that was a

1257
01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:24,680
Speaker 1: possibility in August, and then after seeing dots and playing

1258
01:01:24,680 --> 01:01:27,560
Speaker 1: a game that count, it's like, okay, okay, he's gonna

1259
01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:29,600
Speaker 1: be a guy this year. He's gonna be a playmaker.

1260
01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:32,640
Speaker 1: We know McLaren. McLaren got wasted in some ways last

1261
01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:35,080
Speaker 1: year because they had no help around him in addition

1262
01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:38,320
Speaker 1: to the quarterback issues. Now he's got a legitimate dog.

1263
01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:40,919
Speaker 1: And then you got Samuel who was completely forgotten about

1264
01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:44,200
Speaker 1: last year with the injuries. Okay, and they're always gonna

1265
01:01:44,200 --> 01:01:46,080
Speaker 1: be up and down because the quarterbacks always gonna be

1266
01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:49,200
Speaker 1: up and down Patrick, right, But if they end up

1267
01:01:49,320 --> 01:01:52,560
Speaker 1: competing this year, it's because this offense does score points

1268
01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:54,520
Speaker 1: in the defense, especially when he gets healthy with Chase

1269
01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:58,240
Speaker 1: Young keeps him in some games. And I agree, I

1270
01:01:58,320 --> 01:02:00,920
Speaker 1: was surprised with how well the Commanders played. Uh. It

1271
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:03,520
Speaker 1: didn't move me enough, uh to to think about the

1272
01:02:03,560 --> 01:02:08,320
Speaker 1: long term Commanders wins team. I'm taking the Lions uh

1273
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:11,800
Speaker 1: in this one, especially at home, because I was impressed

1274
01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:15,120
Speaker 1: with what golfin Company, especially that offensive line did in

1275
01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:19,760
Speaker 1: Week one, and I saw the like echoes of the

1276
01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:22,840
Speaker 1: Winson ing right that the pick the Trayvon Walker. There

1277
01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:24,600
Speaker 1: was a couple of other players where it's like, oh,

1278
01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:27,680
Speaker 1: it's it's still Carson. Things could go super sideways at

1279
01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:30,640
Speaker 1: any given moment. I'm I'm taking the lines, and I

1280
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:32,680
Speaker 1: think the doorway in for Detroit is if you go

1281
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:35,840
Speaker 1: look at what the Jaguars did on the ground against Washington,

1282
01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:39,320
Speaker 1: like their defense to me, run wise is vulnerable and

1283
01:02:39,320 --> 01:02:41,360
Speaker 1: and this is this is the Lion's strength. If they

1284
01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:43,680
Speaker 1: can control when they When the Lions are good, they'll

1285
01:02:43,720 --> 01:02:46,240
Speaker 1: have those nine ten played drives where the run game

1286
01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:48,680
Speaker 1: controls it. And you're not having a Jared Goff mistake.

1287
01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:50,360
Speaker 1: I thought he played well down the stretch. He had

1288
01:02:50,480 --> 01:02:53,520
Speaker 1: some terrible moments in that in that affair against the

1289
01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:55,640
Speaker 1: Eagles as well. But Detroit, to me, if they can

1290
01:02:55,680 --> 01:02:57,960
Speaker 1: win up front and run the ball, they have a chance.

1291
01:02:58,080 --> 01:03:00,920
Speaker 1: But they lost Viti for the season, which seems like

1292
01:03:00,920 --> 01:03:03,960
Speaker 1: a big loss because his replacement really struggled last week

1293
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:06,280
Speaker 1: at guard. They ran it. You mentioned well on that

1294
01:03:06,360 --> 01:03:10,040
Speaker 1: first drive DeAndre Swift after conduct Dan, don't you think

1295
01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:12,160
Speaker 1: this is kind of a sneaky big game for Dan Campbell?

1296
01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:13,880
Speaker 1: This is one of the reasons I took it. Actually

1297
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:16,439
Speaker 1: think this is a uh, one of the bigger Week

1298
01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:19,680
Speaker 1: two games at least for these two teams. Like the

1299
01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:22,600
Speaker 1: Commanders could get out to two and oh and that'd

1300
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:26,000
Speaker 1: be big for them and the Lions. I don't know,

1301
01:03:26,040 --> 01:03:27,680
Speaker 1: oh and two at home is a would be a

1302
01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:30,800
Speaker 1: rough rough start here. I'm with you. I see you

1303
01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:32,760
Speaker 1: know when we did the hot butts talk. I put

1304
01:03:32,800 --> 01:03:34,800
Speaker 1: him in the higher tier because I thought once this

1305
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:38,600
Speaker 1: like the buzz around, hard knocks and the summer dies down,

1306
01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:40,920
Speaker 1: he still needs to show that he can lead this

1307
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:45,080
Speaker 1: team out of just being a doormat and again, at

1308
01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:46,640
Speaker 1: a certain point, and he even said it to his

1309
01:03:46,680 --> 01:03:49,360
Speaker 1: credit Campbell after the game, like just being close at

1310
01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:51,200
Speaker 1: a certain point, it's not gonna be good enough. We

1311
01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:53,600
Speaker 1: need to start taking some of these games. And their

1312
01:03:53,640 --> 01:03:56,560
Speaker 1: defense needs to show that they can with the offense

1313
01:03:56,600 --> 01:03:58,440
Speaker 1: does score, they can get a shutdown, they can get

1314
01:03:58,440 --> 01:04:00,760
Speaker 1: a stop on the next possession, which is so important

1315
01:04:00,800 --> 01:04:05,000
Speaker 1: because their first two touchdowns last week were immediately or

1316
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:07,120
Speaker 1: filed by Eagles touchdowns. And it's like that's kind of

1317
01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:09,400
Speaker 1: like in baseball is shut down ending by a pitcher

1318
01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:11,280
Speaker 1: after you score on the top of the ending, Like

1319
01:04:11,320 --> 01:04:13,680
Speaker 1: you need that those type of things to get better

1320
01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:16,760
Speaker 1: and improve and win games. Detroit's defense needs to make plays.

1321
01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:20,080
Speaker 1: Say one thing like is very quiet and that game.

1322
01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:23,080
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell mentioned this that like you're dealing with Jalen

1323
01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:25,480
Speaker 1: Hurts and they were not prepared for that. You're not

1324
01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:27,440
Speaker 1: dealing with Jalen Hurts on the ground this time around,

1325
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:31,200
Speaker 1: all Right, how about Mark with his all Right, I'm

1326
01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:35,240
Speaker 1: going Patriots at Steelers. Um again, I'm married to the

1327
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:37,960
Speaker 1: concept of team in chaos and where will we be

1328
01:04:38,040 --> 01:04:41,760
Speaker 1: after Week two? Like that Patriots offense, it's it's becoming

1329
01:04:42,120 --> 01:04:44,240
Speaker 1: I'm almost annoying to talk about the fact, but they

1330
01:04:44,240 --> 01:04:47,000
Speaker 1: do look disorganized to me, I feel like they are

1331
01:04:47,040 --> 01:04:48,800
Speaker 1: a team that I don't know who's coming up with

1332
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:51,720
Speaker 1: the game plans at this point, but they basically ditched

1333
01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:54,280
Speaker 1: play action, which is really good for Mac Jones, and

1334
01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:56,520
Speaker 1: to me, Mac Jones like I'm doing a QB index.

1335
01:04:56,560 --> 01:04:59,080
Speaker 1: It's like it's a tough watch and tough to figure

1336
01:04:59,080 --> 01:05:00,640
Speaker 1: out where to put him because you want to isolate

1337
01:05:00,920 --> 01:05:03,560
Speaker 1: his play versus the environment he's in. But I just

1338
01:05:03,600 --> 01:05:06,240
Speaker 1: feel he's gonna tumble down and down those rankings with

1339
01:05:06,280 --> 01:05:08,840
Speaker 1: what the Patriots have around him. I'm not like, I like,

1340
01:05:08,880 --> 01:05:11,600
Speaker 1: I'm not pulling the panic lever yet, But I can't

1341
01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:14,240
Speaker 1: think of any any offense in the league where there's

1342
01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:17,680
Speaker 1: just been so many summertime red flags followed up at

1343
01:05:17,720 --> 01:05:21,200
Speaker 1: what we saw against the Dolphins. To me, that's concerning.

1344
01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:22,960
Speaker 1: I don't know how they fixed their issues. I think

1345
01:05:23,040 --> 01:05:26,800
Speaker 1: this was a brutal schedule, uh, for the Patriots started season,

1346
01:05:26,800 --> 01:05:29,560
Speaker 1: not that the Dolphins and Steelers are so great, but

1347
01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:32,920
Speaker 1: that you play a team in Miami led by a

1348
01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:36,040
Speaker 1: former Patriots assistant, Josh Boyer, who knew exactly what to

1349
01:05:36,120 --> 01:05:39,400
Speaker 1: do and lit them up with blitz is. And now

1350
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:44,480
Speaker 1: who you go play Brian Flores, who is by all accounts,

1351
01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:48,280
Speaker 1: much more than a linebackers coach. Uh, He's essentially like

1352
01:05:48,320 --> 01:05:51,840
Speaker 1: a quasi defensive coordinator assistant head coach and will be

1353
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:55,880
Speaker 1: absolutely influencing this game plan and what they're gonna see

1354
01:05:55,920 --> 01:05:59,600
Speaker 1: on tape last week was an offensive line for New England,

1355
01:05:59,600 --> 01:06:01,520
Speaker 1: which is so long been a strength. And I think

1356
01:06:01,520 --> 01:06:04,400
Speaker 1: that's the number one problem of what they've done changing

1357
01:06:04,480 --> 01:06:06,880
Speaker 1: schemes is that you took a strength and you made

1358
01:06:06,920 --> 01:06:08,720
Speaker 1: it into a weakness. And I think they're going to

1359
01:06:08,840 --> 01:06:11,560
Speaker 1: test the communication. Mac Jones is out here trying to

1360
01:06:11,720 --> 01:06:13,600
Speaker 1: like get everything set and then it's not set and

1361
01:06:13,640 --> 01:06:16,000
Speaker 1: people are doing the wrong thing. And Trent Brown, who

1362
01:06:16,080 --> 01:06:18,840
Speaker 1: is weirdly kind of the bell weather for this entire

1363
01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:22,640
Speaker 1: Patriots organization. When Trent Brown is right last year, it's

1364
01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:25,600
Speaker 1: like you win eight straight. When Trent Brown is a mess,

1365
01:06:25,640 --> 01:06:28,160
Speaker 1: like he's been this offseason in week one and there's

1366
01:06:28,200 --> 01:06:30,439
Speaker 1: all sorts of things. And when he got hurt last year,

1367
01:06:30,560 --> 01:06:36,600
Speaker 1: then they stink you've said it all all right? No

1368
01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:40,360
Speaker 1: t J walk. He is being moved to injured reserve.

1369
01:06:42,720 --> 01:06:45,600
Speaker 1: He can, he can create, could could miss as much

1370
01:06:45,600 --> 01:06:48,480
Speaker 1: of six, but they are avoiding surgery or hoping to

1371
01:06:50,040 --> 01:06:54,920
Speaker 1: they need him. Okaysky, show us a little more. What

1372
01:06:54,960 --> 01:06:56,840
Speaker 1: was the Mitch was like, I need to have a

1373
01:06:56,920 --> 01:06:59,240
Speaker 1: killer instinct? Where all right, Week one would have been

1374
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:01,800
Speaker 1: good for that as well. They had nine first downs

1375
01:07:01,800 --> 01:07:04,240
Speaker 1: when regulation ended, which would have been by far the

1376
01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:05,960
Speaker 1: lowest thing. What are we expecting you want to talk

1377
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:09,520
Speaker 1: about like banging drums? If Kenny Picketts practicing well and

1378
01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:11,480
Speaker 1: looking good? Like what are we waiting for Steelers? If

1379
01:07:11,520 --> 01:07:13,200
Speaker 1: this is gonna be what the offense is week tweek?

1380
01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:15,920
Speaker 1: Does Tomlin waiting for a loss that if the defense

1381
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:18,720
Speaker 1: is carrying them to consecutive wins with Mitch Trobisky, is

1382
01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:21,240
Speaker 1: Tomlin the type of person that's lost? Like there's a

1383
01:07:21,920 --> 01:07:24,840
Speaker 1: report that Tomlin wants to stick with Trabisky all season long,

1384
01:07:24,880 --> 01:07:27,400
Speaker 1: no matter what. Like even that touchdown past two Nagi

1385
01:07:27,480 --> 01:07:30,720
Speaker 1: Harris was late was opened instantly off there was a

1386
01:07:30,720 --> 01:07:33,400
Speaker 1: lot of Mitch just kind of running around and making

1387
01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:35,520
Speaker 1: it up as he went along, and on some throws

1388
01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:37,880
Speaker 1: out of bounds that said, you do got to point

1389
01:07:37,880 --> 01:07:40,080
Speaker 1: out the throw he made to set up the game

1390
01:07:40,120 --> 01:07:43,840
Speaker 1: winner was like an incredible catch by Deonte Johnson. It

1391
01:07:43,920 --> 01:07:47,680
Speaker 1: was incredibly lucky and it was incredibly Mitchy, but god

1392
01:07:47,760 --> 01:07:50,320
Speaker 1: damn it did win him the game. And Pat Friarmouth

1393
01:07:50,360 --> 01:07:53,440
Speaker 1: have a nice connection. And you know, maybe this is

1394
01:07:53,440 --> 01:07:55,200
Speaker 1: going to be a part of the honeymoon wearing off,

1395
01:07:55,280 --> 01:07:59,360
Speaker 1: but you know that, um, Mike Tomlin and Matt Canada,

1396
01:07:59,400 --> 01:08:01,919
Speaker 1: they're like so nice to have a quarterback they can move,

1397
01:08:02,080 --> 01:08:04,320
Speaker 1: so maybe they're still there's a little bit of a

1398
01:08:04,360 --> 01:08:07,240
Speaker 1: honeymoon still in an attacked and they need to lose

1399
01:08:07,240 --> 01:08:09,280
Speaker 1: some games before they do that. And we actually here

1400
01:08:11,040 --> 01:08:13,080
Speaker 1: so like it's gonna be an upgrade no matter what.

1401
01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:16,960
Speaker 1: All right, let's see, I got two picks here. You

1402
01:08:16,960 --> 01:08:18,400
Speaker 1: know what, there's a game I want to take, an

1403
01:08:18,400 --> 01:08:21,400
Speaker 1: early game, but it would mess up with my viewing schedule,

1404
01:08:21,560 --> 01:08:24,000
Speaker 1: so it's gonna work out for one of you guys,

1405
01:08:24,040 --> 01:08:28,000
Speaker 1: so I will go with Jets Browns here. Um, I

1406
01:08:28,080 --> 01:08:31,519
Speaker 1: do want to uh listen, what are we talking about?

1407
01:08:31,520 --> 01:08:33,360
Speaker 1: You want to watch what You're going to not watch

1408
01:08:33,439 --> 01:08:35,599
Speaker 1: the Jets. No, there was another one. There was another

1409
01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:38,680
Speaker 1: early game that I wanted that is more compelling to me.

1410
01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:42,960
Speaker 1: But I will be watching Jets, Browns Browns. We talked,

1411
01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:45,360
Speaker 1: I was, you know, of course kde York went straight

1412
01:08:45,400 --> 01:08:48,400
Speaker 1: from the nursery to the Kickers club on Tuesday's show

1413
01:08:48,840 --> 01:08:50,760
Speaker 1: that that's a weapon for them. I thought there was

1414
01:08:50,800 --> 01:08:54,639
Speaker 1: a little too much um hate on the Brown's ability

1415
01:08:54,800 --> 01:08:57,080
Speaker 1: to be a team that could hang around this season

1416
01:08:57,160 --> 01:09:00,800
Speaker 1: until Watson gets there. When you have that dynamic duo

1417
01:09:00,920 --> 01:09:03,479
Speaker 1: in the backfield, and we saw it there with you know,

1418
01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:07,400
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt doing his thing and Nick Chubb being Nick Chubb.

1419
01:09:07,840 --> 01:09:11,599
Speaker 1: I don't know how the Jets or any defense isn't

1420
01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:14,720
Speaker 1: putting eleven men in the box. Damn bring somebody off

1421
01:09:14,760 --> 01:09:16,920
Speaker 1: the bench and see even get away with but twelve

1422
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:20,799
Speaker 1: in the box because Jake Brisket literally leave like Cooper

1423
01:09:20,840 --> 01:09:23,559
Speaker 1: and people's Jones alone. Yea, they did that on a

1424
01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:25,439
Speaker 1: couple of plays and it didn't work, and the Browns

1425
01:09:25,479 --> 01:09:28,559
Speaker 1: still didn't connect. And Omari Cooper, you know, he's happy

1426
01:09:28,600 --> 01:09:30,160
Speaker 1: he's not in Dallas right now. But I'm sure right

1427
01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:32,560
Speaker 1: now he's not feeling too hot about being in Cleveland.

1428
01:09:32,600 --> 01:09:36,000
Speaker 1: But that's they can win if they have the pass

1429
01:09:36,080 --> 01:09:38,920
Speaker 1: rush and they could get stops on defense and run

1430
01:09:38,960 --> 01:09:41,200
Speaker 1: the ball and have an imaginative game plan from that

1431
01:09:41,280 --> 01:09:43,479
Speaker 1: side of things, since the Fanski can do it now

1432
01:09:43,479 --> 01:09:46,320
Speaker 1: on the jet side of things, can I hear? Let

1433
01:09:46,360 --> 01:09:49,960
Speaker 1: me hear sala Um speaking to the media this week,

1434
01:09:51,600 --> 01:09:54,320
Speaker 1: we're all taking receipts on all the people who continually

1435
01:09:54,520 --> 01:09:56,720
Speaker 1: mock and say that we aren't gonna do anything. I'm

1436
01:09:56,720 --> 01:09:58,960
Speaker 1: taking receipts and I'm gonna be more than happy to

1437
01:09:58,960 --> 01:10:01,479
Speaker 1: share them with all the all ones. All said and done, Okay,

1438
01:10:01,560 --> 01:10:04,840
Speaker 1: that's that's great, Robert Um. But like I said on

1439
01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:09,080
Speaker 1: Sunday night, we're passed receipts. I want results, results, beat receipts.

1440
01:10:09,040 --> 01:10:11,120
Speaker 1: Canna hear a little more from Solid because I'm starting

1441
01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:13,640
Speaker 1: to get a little nervous about this situation. Yesterday, in

1442
01:10:13,680 --> 01:10:16,880
Speaker 1: my opinion, we did not get beat. We lost, and

1443
01:10:16,880 --> 01:10:20,479
Speaker 1: there are two totally different things, and um, you know,

1444
01:10:20,520 --> 01:10:22,280
Speaker 1: you just look at it just felt like we were

1445
01:10:22,320 --> 01:10:24,280
Speaker 1: the faster team. We played with a lot of speed

1446
01:10:24,280 --> 01:10:27,160
Speaker 1: and aggression, especially on defense, and a lot of these

1447
01:10:27,200 --> 01:10:28,920
Speaker 1: little mistakes and a lot of things that people don't

1448
01:10:28,960 --> 01:10:32,680
Speaker 1: see with regards to bus misalignments, uh or whatever it

1449
01:10:32,760 --> 01:10:38,160
Speaker 1: might be. That there was this Derek Jeter documentary ESPN

1450
01:10:38,320 --> 01:10:41,320
Speaker 1: and they had no mar Garcia para the Red Sox

1451
01:10:41,400 --> 01:10:43,720
Speaker 1: back in the day talking about the ninety nine a

1452
01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:47,360
Speaker 1: LCS and say they Yankees won in five games, and

1453
01:10:47,439 --> 01:10:49,720
Speaker 1: no Mars interviewed and he goes, well, you know, I

1454
01:10:49,720 --> 01:10:52,360
Speaker 1: think we were the better team. Like, I know, we lost,

1455
01:10:52,360 --> 01:10:54,160
Speaker 1: but we were the better team. Now you come back

1456
01:10:54,200 --> 01:10:56,320
Speaker 1: to Jeter and he said, that's what losers say. And

1457
01:10:56,400 --> 01:10:57,960
Speaker 1: I I don't want to I don't want to hear

1458
01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:01,439
Speaker 1: anything from Sala about we didn't you know, we got

1459
01:11:01,439 --> 01:11:03,280
Speaker 1: beat but we didn't lose, or we lost, but we

1460
01:11:03,280 --> 01:11:05,320
Speaker 1: didn't get beat. And I don't want to hear anything

1461
01:11:05,320 --> 01:11:09,040
Speaker 1: about receipts. Um. We need results and I need it

1462
01:11:09,080 --> 01:11:11,679
Speaker 1: this week because I know Cleveland. Everything I said about

1463
01:11:11,680 --> 01:11:14,840
Speaker 1: Cleveland is I think they could be a competitive team. Uh,

1464
01:11:14,880 --> 01:11:17,320
Speaker 1: they can hang around in the a f C playoff race.

1465
01:11:17,720 --> 01:11:22,000
Speaker 1: But the Jets have no business not being competitive this week.

1466
01:11:22,160 --> 01:11:25,600
Speaker 1: They should absolutely be competitive and they could win. But

1467
01:11:25,760 --> 01:11:28,240
Speaker 1: a lot of that goes back to Joe Flacco and

1468
01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:31,160
Speaker 1: his statue liability. This is the first time I've heard

1469
01:11:31,200 --> 01:11:34,280
Speaker 1: you critique Robert Sala in any force. It's on my

1470
01:11:34,400 --> 01:11:36,880
Speaker 1: radar some of the comments he's making, because it is

1471
01:11:36,920 --> 01:11:39,200
Speaker 1: the type of stuff when a coach is starting to

1472
01:11:39,240 --> 01:11:42,720
Speaker 1: lose control a little bit, and we'll see, we'll see

1473
01:11:42,720 --> 01:11:45,679
Speaker 1: they gotta win games, like this regime has to start winning,

1474
01:11:45,680 --> 01:11:48,680
Speaker 1: and that includes Douglas, but a Salo as well. Can

1475
01:11:48,800 --> 01:11:51,639
Speaker 1: we lose control when when Joe Flacco's is the starting

1476
01:11:51,680 --> 01:11:54,720
Speaker 1: quarterback against the Baltimore Ravens that we think are But

1477
01:11:54,760 --> 01:11:56,559
Speaker 1: I agree with that, but it's like it's more like

1478
01:11:56,640 --> 01:12:01,840
Speaker 1: the excuses are just cut into a certain point, like

1479
01:12:03,120 --> 01:12:05,519
Speaker 1: in the summer, is telling the media and all Jets

1480
01:12:05,520 --> 01:12:09,559
Speaker 1: fans Joe Flacco is still a good starting quarterback and

1481
01:12:09,600 --> 01:12:11,400
Speaker 1: we're very lucky to have him. We think we're gonna

1482
01:12:11,439 --> 01:12:14,160
Speaker 1: do great. Well, then you can't really use that excuse

1483
01:12:14,200 --> 01:12:18,800
Speaker 1: if he's telling if he's gassing, also said. She also

1484
01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:20,800
Speaker 1: said Flacco and Week one wasn't as bad as people

1485
01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:24,720
Speaker 1: think he was, And I kind of agree. But the

1486
01:12:24,720 --> 01:12:27,680
Speaker 1: thing that worried about worrying me the most about what

1487
01:12:27,800 --> 01:12:30,280
Speaker 1: Sala said there was we played with great energy, and

1488
01:12:30,320 --> 01:12:33,240
Speaker 1: we were the fastest, faster team on the field, especially

1489
01:12:33,280 --> 01:12:35,280
Speaker 1: on defense. And right there, I was like, that's what

1490
01:12:35,320 --> 01:12:38,600
Speaker 1: Rex Ryan would have said, because you just completely discounted

1491
01:12:38,640 --> 01:12:41,759
Speaker 1: half of the field. Half of the game. Be half,

1492
01:12:41,880 --> 01:12:44,360
Speaker 1: by the way, that's more important than the other half. Offense.

1493
01:12:44,520 --> 01:12:46,600
Speaker 1: There's no way you were the faster offense. There's no

1494
01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:48,600
Speaker 1: way you were playing with more aggression on offense. You

1495
01:12:48,720 --> 01:12:51,479
Speaker 1: got you got handed and and I don't think it

1496
01:12:51,479 --> 01:12:53,760
Speaker 1: would have been any better with Zach Wilson out there,

1497
01:12:53,960 --> 01:12:55,960
Speaker 1: Like you got dominated up front. You signed l and

1498
01:12:56,040 --> 01:12:59,559
Speaker 1: Thomlinson too a huge contract. He was their worst offensive lineman.

1499
01:12:59,680 --> 01:13:03,640
Speaker 1: He got absolutely destroyed all game. Uh, their rookie right

1500
01:13:03,680 --> 01:13:05,880
Speaker 1: tackle and never heard about or maybe second year right

1501
01:13:05,920 --> 01:13:08,720
Speaker 1: tackle played better than their veteran left tackle. So like

1502
01:13:09,040 --> 01:13:11,680
Speaker 1: that's where their problems were. And then Joe Flacco is

1503
01:13:11,720 --> 01:13:14,320
Speaker 1: talking about after the game that he was concerned that

1504
01:13:14,479 --> 01:13:17,519
Speaker 1: the rest of the crew on offense weren't really going

1505
01:13:17,640 --> 01:13:20,360
Speaker 1: to the huddle with enough energy and gusto. Like when

1506
01:13:20,360 --> 01:13:23,040
Speaker 1: they would get to midfield, people are just kind of lackadaisically,

1507
01:13:23,160 --> 01:13:25,560
Speaker 1: like walking into the huddle and I'm just like m

1508
01:13:26,360 --> 01:13:30,040
Speaker 1: I wonder like, you know, um, like what leader is

1509
01:13:30,120 --> 01:13:32,880
Speaker 1: not inspiring the rest of their teammates to like play

1510
01:13:32,920 --> 01:13:35,400
Speaker 1: with a lot of energy here and tell me how

1511
01:13:35,439 --> 01:13:37,519
Speaker 1: many pictures they have a Joe Flacco and the facility.

1512
01:13:38,040 --> 01:13:40,960
Speaker 1: There were some positives though, like the young cornerbacks look

1513
01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:42,400
Speaker 1: pretty good. I think this will be a close game.

1514
01:13:42,439 --> 01:13:44,840
Speaker 1: I think six and a half is wild. I actually

1515
01:13:44,880 --> 01:13:46,800
Speaker 1: picked the wind the Jets to win straight up here.

1516
01:13:47,760 --> 01:13:50,479
Speaker 1: You've got to show that you can stop Cleveland's ground

1517
01:13:50,520 --> 01:13:52,400
Speaker 1: game because I thought that. I thought Cleveland that was

1518
01:13:52,439 --> 01:13:54,519
Speaker 1: a tough watch against the Panthers. But they did should

1519
01:13:54,520 --> 01:13:56,560
Speaker 1: play with energy, I thought they. I thought to me,

1520
01:13:57,160 --> 01:14:00,559
Speaker 1: they looked great. They played around Jacobe Prissett. But if

1521
01:14:00,600 --> 01:14:03,400
Speaker 1: you can make this a Jacoby Prissette game Jets defensive front,

1522
01:14:03,560 --> 01:14:05,280
Speaker 1: you've definitely got a chance, it's gonna be close. That

1523
01:14:05,400 --> 01:14:08,280
Speaker 1: was an awful Jacoby Brissette game. Though I'm not sure

1524
01:14:08,320 --> 01:14:12,040
Speaker 1: there's another type. I think I think this will not

1525
01:14:12,120 --> 01:14:14,160
Speaker 1: be a quarterback clinic, and I think he's been better.

1526
01:14:14,240 --> 01:14:16,880
Speaker 1: But there were there were two players where Cooper one

1527
01:14:16,960 --> 01:14:19,360
Speaker 1: he put a defender on the ground and another one

1528
01:14:19,680 --> 01:14:22,160
Speaker 1: where he was opened by a fifteen feet and Jacoby Miss.

1529
01:14:25,080 --> 01:14:27,080
Speaker 1: I think it's a rare game where the Jets don't

1530
01:14:27,120 --> 01:14:29,400
Speaker 1: have a disadvantage at quarterback, and I think their defense

1531
01:14:29,479 --> 01:14:33,720
Speaker 1: could be really good. So no, no receipts results. Let's

1532
01:14:33,760 --> 01:14:37,280
Speaker 1: take a break and finish the draft. All right, we're

1533
01:14:37,360 --> 01:14:42,360
Speaker 1: back now now now, now, now I have my last

1534
01:14:42,400 --> 01:14:44,960
Speaker 1: pick and I have to grab a light game, so

1535
01:14:45,120 --> 01:14:50,000
Speaker 1: I will grab the Texans at the Broncos. Uh. We heard,

1536
01:14:50,040 --> 01:14:53,560
Speaker 1: by the way, we heard from uh Bobby Sala in

1537
01:14:53,640 --> 01:14:57,200
Speaker 1: the last UH segment. I want to hear from Nathaniel Hackett,

1538
01:14:57,240 --> 01:15:02,320
Speaker 1: now the head coach of the Broncos, who Wednesday, after

1539
01:15:02,600 --> 01:15:05,000
Speaker 1: some more thought, had this to say about his decision

1540
01:15:05,120 --> 01:15:07,200
Speaker 1: to go for the sixty four yard field goal at

1541
01:15:07,200 --> 01:15:09,360
Speaker 1: the end of Monday Monday Night Football. Looking back at it,

1542
01:15:09,439 --> 01:15:12,720
Speaker 1: we definitely should have gone for it. Um, just not not.

1543
01:15:13,120 --> 01:15:14,800
Speaker 1: You know, one of those things you look back at

1544
01:15:14,840 --> 01:15:16,760
Speaker 1: it and you say, of course we should go for it.

1545
01:15:16,800 --> 01:15:19,839
Speaker 1: We missed the field goal. Um, but in that situation,

1546
01:15:19,920 --> 01:15:21,519
Speaker 1: we had a plan. I mean, we had a plan.

1547
01:15:21,560 --> 01:15:24,880
Speaker 1: We knew that was the mark. Um. Okay, so that

1548
01:15:25,080 --> 01:15:27,560
Speaker 1: almost that started off well. That that comment for me,

1549
01:15:27,680 --> 01:15:29,479
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, he's owning it. And moving on,

1550
01:15:29,600 --> 01:15:31,920
Speaker 1: and then it moved into I'm sorry if you were

1551
01:15:31,960 --> 01:15:35,519
Speaker 1: offended territory. We're saying, oh, yeah, I wish we didn't

1552
01:15:35,520 --> 01:15:37,400
Speaker 1: do that because he missed the kick. So I was

1553
01:15:37,439 --> 01:15:40,160
Speaker 1: a little like, come on, hackey, because I'm rooting for you.

1554
01:15:40,320 --> 01:15:44,439
Speaker 1: Everyone says, this dude's a great dude and he deserved

1555
01:15:44,439 --> 01:15:46,960
Speaker 1: the opportunity, and you want you want to give him

1556
01:15:46,960 --> 01:15:48,800
Speaker 1: a pass for having a bad night, and you should

1557
01:15:48,880 --> 01:15:50,760
Speaker 1: because it's week one and it was his first week

1558
01:15:50,800 --> 01:15:53,600
Speaker 1: ast coach. But I didn't like the end of that

1559
01:15:53,680 --> 01:15:55,559
Speaker 1: answer put it that way. But now he gets one

1560
01:15:55,600 --> 01:16:00,320
Speaker 1: of the worst. It's bad. It was really bad, and uh,

1561
01:16:00,960 --> 01:16:02,519
Speaker 1: you know how many people in the history of the

1562
01:16:02,560 --> 01:16:06,559
Speaker 1: sport have hit a sixty four yard again. Next level

1563
01:16:06,560 --> 01:16:08,439
Speaker 1: of bizarreness in terms of how you wanted to end.

1564
01:16:08,479 --> 01:16:10,720
Speaker 1: So here's the good news. The Broncos now get a

1565
01:16:10,800 --> 01:16:13,080
Speaker 1: clean slate. They get to move away from all that

1566
01:16:13,280 --> 01:16:16,400
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawk Russell Wilson drama. They get to go to

1567
01:16:16,600 --> 01:16:20,280
Speaker 1: their building and play at home. They get the Texans

1568
01:16:20,960 --> 01:16:23,240
Speaker 1: um who are one of the worst teams in the

1569
01:16:23,280 --> 01:16:26,080
Speaker 1: a f C, and it feels like a perfect spot

1570
01:16:26,360 --> 01:16:29,120
Speaker 1: for the Denver Broncos to wash away a lot of

1571
01:16:29,600 --> 01:16:32,679
Speaker 1: that bad taste out of their mouth. And if they don't, Greggy,

1572
01:16:33,000 --> 01:16:35,840
Speaker 1: if we have another issue where Denver is struggling in

1573
01:16:35,880 --> 01:16:38,120
Speaker 1: the red zone and the offense looks at a sake

1574
01:16:38,160 --> 01:16:42,920
Speaker 1: and I'm creating or committing a bunch of penalties, yeah,

1575
01:16:43,080 --> 01:16:45,280
Speaker 1: I will be very nervous because the head coach and

1576
01:16:45,360 --> 01:16:47,840
Speaker 1: that staff did not have a good week one. But

1577
01:16:48,080 --> 01:16:50,280
Speaker 1: I do expect them to take care of business here. Yeah.

1578
01:16:50,360 --> 01:16:55,040
Speaker 1: I think they're structure in terms of their timing, getting

1579
01:16:55,080 --> 01:16:57,720
Speaker 1: the plays off on time. Russell Wilson not bringing it

1580
01:16:57,800 --> 01:16:59,880
Speaker 1: down to the end of the clock like that's mass

1581
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:01,960
Speaker 1: have been red zone Like, just show me that you're

1582
01:17:01,960 --> 01:17:04,040
Speaker 1: not gonna be sloppy. I tend to think this will

1583
01:17:04,040 --> 01:17:08,160
Speaker 1: be closer than expected there there. I think double digit favorites.

1584
01:17:08,160 --> 01:17:10,719
Speaker 1: There's a lot of crazy, huge favorites. I'm not ready

1585
01:17:10,760 --> 01:17:13,120
Speaker 1: to go there. For a coaching staff in Denver that's

1586
01:17:13,160 --> 01:17:15,240
Speaker 1: so inexperience. If you look up and down on both

1587
01:17:15,280 --> 01:17:17,439
Speaker 1: sides of the ball, everyone's in a job that they've

1588
01:17:17,479 --> 01:17:20,800
Speaker 1: never had before, Like it's a totally new coaching staff,

1589
01:17:21,160 --> 01:17:24,240
Speaker 1: and this matchup points out something we probably could do

1590
01:17:24,320 --> 01:17:27,080
Speaker 1: with a few matchups around the league. It's a league

1591
01:17:27,120 --> 01:17:31,160
Speaker 1: of sameness defensively, and it bugs me. I want diversity.

1592
01:17:31,600 --> 01:17:35,040
Speaker 1: Every team's running the same system and it's the same

1593
01:17:35,320 --> 01:17:37,840
Speaker 1: sort of system even Pete Carroll was doing last week.

1594
01:17:38,080 --> 01:17:40,679
Speaker 1: Let's just make them work down the field really slowly

1595
01:17:40,920 --> 01:17:43,519
Speaker 1: and check it down underneath and have long drives and

1596
01:17:43,600 --> 01:17:46,120
Speaker 1: try to force them to kick field goals. And Denver

1597
01:17:46,280 --> 01:17:48,360
Speaker 1: is gonna do that, and then Houston's gonna do that,

1598
01:17:48,439 --> 01:17:50,880
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be a lot of short passes. And

1599
01:17:51,000 --> 01:17:53,559
Speaker 1: it's like, can someone just to play a little differently

1600
01:17:53,640 --> 01:17:56,160
Speaker 1: because it ends up with close games. I like that,

1601
01:17:56,360 --> 01:17:59,360
Speaker 1: but it's like when every team in the league's playing

1602
01:17:59,400 --> 01:18:01,439
Speaker 1: the same ski team, It's like, that doesn't seem right.

1603
01:18:01,560 --> 01:18:03,639
Speaker 1: I I hear you on that. I see that too.

1604
01:18:04,040 --> 01:18:07,800
Speaker 1: For me, though, we spent all offseason saying it's gonna

1605
01:18:07,880 --> 01:18:10,400
Speaker 1: take time for Nathaniel Hackett and Russell Wilson and all

1606
01:18:10,439 --> 01:18:12,840
Speaker 1: these new faces to gel and we're one game into it.

1607
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:15,040
Speaker 1: So if they I don't know, they had four hundred

1608
01:18:15,080 --> 01:18:17,639
Speaker 1: plus yards in like e like Russell Wilson played back,

1609
01:18:17,680 --> 01:18:19,840
Speaker 1: you're they need to fix the red zone stuff and

1610
01:18:19,920 --> 01:18:23,439
Speaker 1: they need to not make a fiery like lightning rod

1611
01:18:23,520 --> 01:18:25,400
Speaker 1: decision at the end of the game that everyone spends

1612
01:18:25,400 --> 01:18:27,880
Speaker 1: a week talking and they had even though with all

1613
01:18:27,960 --> 01:18:31,160
Speaker 1: the red zone failures, there was one, uh touchdown that

1614
01:18:31,240 --> 01:18:33,680
Speaker 1: got wiped away by a teeny little front of a

1615
01:18:33,800 --> 01:18:35,880
Speaker 1: cleat on the white. They had another one where the

1616
01:18:35,920 --> 01:18:38,120
Speaker 1: receiver came down this elbow at the half inch line.

1617
01:18:38,160 --> 01:18:39,640
Speaker 1: Great game by the officials, by the way they were

1618
01:18:39,720 --> 01:18:42,680
Speaker 1: nailing all these calls. Uh. So it was just one

1619
01:18:42,720 --> 01:18:46,800
Speaker 1: of those like perfect storm um shows for the Broncos

1620
01:18:46,880 --> 01:18:50,400
Speaker 1: on offense, and I think that it's more likely you'll

1621
01:18:50,400 --> 01:18:52,600
Speaker 1: see a better version rather than us panicking after they

1622
01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:54,760
Speaker 1: scored seventeen points that just happened to be in the

1623
01:18:55,000 --> 01:18:57,439
Speaker 1: most emotional game in the history of it was funny

1624
01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:03,120
Speaker 1: down game and incomes Pep Hamilton's and Rex bar card

1625
01:19:03,400 --> 01:19:06,840
Speaker 1: to make it like close, can we can get yeah

1626
01:19:07,240 --> 01:19:10,240
Speaker 1: less Rex Burt card and also you I went on

1627
01:19:12,120 --> 01:19:15,360
Speaker 1: second justin I was a little down on the decision

1628
01:19:15,439 --> 01:19:17,680
Speaker 1: to punt with twenty seven seconds and fourth and three

1629
01:19:17,720 --> 01:19:21,960
Speaker 1: at midfield by Lovey Smith and overtime. Then I watched

1630
01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:24,559
Speaker 1: the game and the Texans had a fourth and three

1631
01:19:24,760 --> 01:19:27,559
Speaker 1: at the Colts thirty six early in the fourth quarter

1632
01:19:27,640 --> 01:19:30,400
Speaker 1: with a ten point lead and punted, What I mean,

1633
01:19:31,280 --> 01:19:34,080
Speaker 1: what year is this? What decade is this? How can

1634
01:19:34,120 --> 01:19:36,639
Speaker 1: I believe experience? How can I believe in you when

1635
01:19:36,680 --> 01:19:40,320
Speaker 1: you're punting trying to run out the clock in that situation?

1636
01:19:40,479 --> 01:19:42,400
Speaker 1: Grave dig or what did you guys both just call

1637
01:19:42,479 --> 01:19:45,160
Speaker 1: him rex Burke? Hard? Well, what is it rex Burker?

1638
01:19:45,600 --> 01:19:47,439
Speaker 1: I think I said rex Burg that was the head

1639
01:19:47,479 --> 01:19:50,960
Speaker 1: in there. I might have said about car respect on

1640
01:19:51,080 --> 01:19:53,000
Speaker 1: his name. This is the high school hero from my

1641
01:19:53,120 --> 01:20:02,080
Speaker 1: football Like Lovey did admit that. He was like, he

1642
01:20:02,240 --> 01:20:04,880
Speaker 1: was like, we need more pierced in this game. All right, now,

1643
01:20:05,520 --> 01:20:07,280
Speaker 1: did you have a last take? Yeah, you have to

1644
01:20:07,360 --> 01:20:10,439
Speaker 1: like a batter. And I like, if it's Lovely saying that,

1645
01:20:10,920 --> 01:20:13,120
Speaker 1: you know the defense was gassed so we punted. If

1646
01:20:13,160 --> 01:20:15,320
Speaker 1: it's Nathaniel Hackett saying we had a plan. If it's

1647
01:20:15,320 --> 01:20:17,800
Speaker 1: Bob Salis and I think we're faster, I'm okay with

1648
01:20:17,880 --> 01:20:21,679
Speaker 1: you guys being honest. Don't turn into robots and start

1649
01:20:21,800 --> 01:20:24,960
Speaker 1: being like, like, don't do that just because you get

1650
01:20:25,000 --> 01:20:27,120
Speaker 1: criticized for being honest. And I mean, we do get

1651
01:20:27,120 --> 01:20:29,920
Speaker 1: the two weirdest coaching decisions now clashing with each other,

1652
01:20:30,040 --> 01:20:33,479
Speaker 1: so I think it's gonna be intriguing. I'm not sure

1653
01:20:33,520 --> 01:20:35,160
Speaker 1: what you mean by that, because I think what I

1654
01:20:35,360 --> 01:20:38,360
Speaker 1: was saying was that don't go to the meeting. Be like, yeah,

1655
01:20:38,360 --> 01:20:41,200
Speaker 1: it wasn't the right decision. I I admit it because

1656
01:20:41,240 --> 01:20:43,759
Speaker 1: we missed the kick. Then just say no, I stand

1657
01:20:43,800 --> 01:20:46,519
Speaker 1: by the decision. I mean. Mcmannus went on Twitter immediately

1658
01:20:46,560 --> 01:20:47,880
Speaker 1: after game. He was like, I told him we get

1659
01:20:47,880 --> 01:20:50,840
Speaker 1: to that alarm. That line I'm good for. He's also

1660
01:20:50,920 --> 01:20:53,600
Speaker 1: won for eight over sixty, so it's like, yeah, just

1661
01:20:53,720 --> 01:20:56,760
Speaker 1: say like, yeah, don't get robot answers, but also like

1662
01:20:56,920 --> 01:20:58,920
Speaker 1: be real, be like, no, I stand by the decision.

1663
01:20:58,960 --> 01:21:01,200
Speaker 1: I believed in the kicker. It didn't work out. Don't

1664
01:21:01,240 --> 01:21:04,840
Speaker 1: waste four minutes going from the twenty five to I mean,

1665
01:21:04,920 --> 01:21:07,439
Speaker 1: that's the thing, But that's the thing that you said.

1666
01:21:07,479 --> 01:21:09,360
Speaker 1: The time out in the setup of the field goal

1667
01:21:09,880 --> 01:21:13,040
Speaker 1: was way less egregious than the than the three minutes before.

1668
01:21:14,680 --> 01:21:16,519
Speaker 1: Even bigger. Now the hairs that were falling out just

1669
01:21:16,640 --> 01:21:20,599
Speaker 1: when he was trying to help through a TV screen

1670
01:21:21,120 --> 01:21:25,479
Speaker 1: on Basic Cable. Mark your final draft pick. I am

1671
01:21:25,560 --> 01:21:29,280
Speaker 1: going to pick a team that has captured my heart

1672
01:21:29,320 --> 01:21:32,800
Speaker 1: to some degree there is spicy the Carolina Panthers at

1673
01:21:32,840 --> 01:21:34,800
Speaker 1: the New York Giants. Oh yeah, you're back on the

1674
01:21:34,880 --> 01:21:37,080
Speaker 1: rule train. I love that. You know, you're such a

1675
01:21:37,200 --> 01:21:42,599
Speaker 1: big fan of his. You said you, and maybe you're

1676
01:21:42,600 --> 01:21:46,880
Speaker 1: actually being loyal. It is Brian Table who I think

1677
01:21:47,600 --> 01:21:49,960
Speaker 1: complete new life to the Giants. I mean that kind

1678
01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:52,320
Speaker 1: of a win. I don't care how it happened. It

1679
01:21:52,400 --> 01:21:55,760
Speaker 1: happened in a weird way. When's the last time the

1680
01:21:55,840 --> 01:21:59,080
Speaker 1: Giants had in Spice? But Sta kan Kan is set

1681
01:21:59,120 --> 01:22:03,920
Speaker 1: up against Sekwan is set up again for a great game.

1682
01:22:04,600 --> 01:22:06,760
Speaker 1: You're talking about a Panther's team that missed eight teen

1683
01:22:06,800 --> 01:22:09,920
Speaker 1: tackles last week and Nick Chopp Kareem Hunt went all

1684
01:22:10,040 --> 01:22:12,719
Speaker 1: over them. I just liked this situation for the Giants,

1685
01:22:12,800 --> 01:22:14,840
Speaker 1: and to me, like the New York Giants right now,

1686
01:22:15,080 --> 01:22:18,280
Speaker 1: you're kind of hanging wondering if Daniel Jones is gonna

1687
01:22:18,320 --> 01:22:19,960
Speaker 1: make that Kierra. But he made a couple of throws

1688
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:21,400
Speaker 1: in that game as well last week, and I think

1689
01:22:21,439 --> 01:22:24,200
Speaker 1: if you get I said, you're gonna get a couple

1690
01:22:24,200 --> 01:22:25,920
Speaker 1: of terrible throws. I mean, it's up and down with

1691
01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:28,879
Speaker 1: General Jones by like Brian Dable getting on the sideline

1692
01:22:28,920 --> 01:22:31,160
Speaker 1: and jawing at him and not letting them down, just

1693
01:22:31,240 --> 01:22:33,320
Speaker 1: like coaching them up. I think this is a pretty

1694
01:22:33,360 --> 01:22:35,840
Speaker 1: good game out of Daniel Jones over he was. It

1695
01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:39,920
Speaker 1: was Daniel Jones basic professional to me. I think like

1696
01:22:40,040 --> 01:22:43,679
Speaker 1: I think the Panthers like I just you Baker Mayfield

1697
01:22:43,800 --> 01:22:45,479
Speaker 1: last week. I know there were some big plays down

1698
01:22:45,520 --> 01:22:47,920
Speaker 1: the stretch, but they were a tough watch. They were

1699
01:22:47,960 --> 01:22:51,040
Speaker 1: a disaster in the first half. And like Baker Mayfield

1700
01:22:51,280 --> 01:22:54,439
Speaker 1: giving up four fumbles, I mean that that the center

1701
01:22:54,600 --> 01:22:57,080
Speaker 1: quarterback snap exchange was. It was a disaster. You guys

1702
01:22:57,120 --> 01:22:58,720
Speaker 1: coming over to my side on the Baker thing. Is

1703
01:22:58,760 --> 01:23:02,479
Speaker 1: that what's happening? I think it was good Baker stuff too.

1704
01:23:02,520 --> 01:23:06,840
Speaker 1: But it's just that he wasn't an all time, you know,

1705
01:23:07,000 --> 01:23:09,960
Speaker 1: bad quarterback. He just was like a below average starter

1706
01:23:10,160 --> 01:23:13,240
Speaker 1: at worst, or maybe average if everything was perfect. Yeah,

1707
01:23:13,840 --> 01:23:15,559
Speaker 1: he needs his left tackle to play better. He can

1708
01:23:15,840 --> 01:23:17,960
Speaker 1: really struggled. I know that was against Myles Garrett, but

1709
01:23:18,000 --> 01:23:21,040
Speaker 1: he had a really rough preseason two against some lesser

1710
01:23:21,120 --> 01:23:24,200
Speaker 1: guys like Dietrich Wise of the Patriots. So they need

1711
01:23:24,320 --> 01:23:26,599
Speaker 1: him to play better because I thought otherwiser offensive line

1712
01:23:26,640 --> 01:23:28,200
Speaker 1: play better. Look for a big game. I think got

1713
01:23:28,240 --> 01:23:32,639
Speaker 1: a McCaffrey those Giants linebackers last week, we're just losing

1714
01:23:32,720 --> 01:23:36,599
Speaker 1: Dontrell Hilliard in coverage and just did look totally lost.

1715
01:23:36,760 --> 01:23:39,439
Speaker 1: And you're thinking ahead to this week like, oh, which

1716
01:23:39,479 --> 01:23:42,000
Speaker 1: running back are you're gonna have to cover this weekend coverage?

1717
01:23:42,040 --> 01:23:44,640
Speaker 1: Good night, They've got to use McCaffrey more. If the

1718
01:23:44,680 --> 01:23:47,360
Speaker 1: Browns don't blow two coverages, we may be talking about

1719
01:23:47,400 --> 01:23:50,840
Speaker 1: Sam right now. To be honest with you, Well, Sam's out.

1720
01:23:51,040 --> 01:23:54,200
Speaker 1: Sam's out. We might be talking about p J. Walker.

1721
01:23:54,800 --> 01:23:57,840
Speaker 1: I mean, uh, weight of all the you know, bad

1722
01:23:57,960 --> 01:24:01,519
Speaker 1: coaching excuses after the fact, Matt Rule actually had by

1723
01:24:01,640 --> 01:24:05,320
Speaker 1: far the most embarrassing this week. He said, and I quote,

1724
01:24:06,040 --> 01:24:08,640
Speaker 1: if you look at our last thirty five minutes of

1725
01:24:08,680 --> 01:24:12,200
Speaker 1: the game, we average seven point seven yards per attempt.

1726
01:24:12,479 --> 01:24:16,360
Speaker 1: That would be good for top five in the league. Okay, so,

1727
01:24:18,920 --> 01:24:20,720
Speaker 1: first of all, the first twenty five minutes of the

1728
01:24:20,800 --> 01:24:23,800
Speaker 1: game totally count. That's kind of how you measure it.

1729
01:24:24,840 --> 01:24:31,240
Speaker 1: Um that include that seventy five yard robby Anderson throat

1730
01:24:31,240 --> 01:24:33,280
Speaker 1: where it's like a blown coverage where if you take

1731
01:24:33,360 --> 01:24:35,880
Speaker 1: that out then you're right back to mediocre. But the

1732
01:24:35,960 --> 01:24:38,120
Speaker 1: fact that you would bring that up as as defense

1733
01:24:38,280 --> 01:24:41,360
Speaker 1: is just hey, this is a burger from benson Hurst.

1734
01:24:42,000 --> 01:24:45,120
Speaker 1: You know the Giants they need Harry Carson in that group.

1735
01:24:45,240 --> 01:24:47,720
Speaker 1: That's the problem. Any Harry Carson's out there, I'll hang

1736
01:24:47,800 --> 01:24:49,360
Speaker 1: up and listen. I'm sure there's a ton out there

1737
01:24:49,920 --> 01:24:53,120
Speaker 1: bad vibes. If this was a vibe bl the Giants

1738
01:24:53,200 --> 01:24:55,719
Speaker 1: definitely win. They are slightly favored, which is pretty wild.

1739
01:24:58,680 --> 01:25:02,120
Speaker 1: You have something to say here, let's hear it. You know,

1740
01:25:02,200 --> 01:25:04,320
Speaker 1: I was so impressed with this Giant scene. They knocked

1741
01:25:04,360 --> 01:25:06,840
Speaker 1: off last year's number one. You're in your feelings on

1742
01:25:06,960 --> 01:25:11,439
Speaker 1: the still move on. I'm looking up the Giants because

1743
01:25:11,479 --> 01:25:14,160
Speaker 1: if they beat the Titans, they must always know this

1744
01:25:14,360 --> 01:25:16,680
Speaker 1: is more. This is an anti Carolina take. I think

1745
01:25:17,320 --> 01:25:20,080
Speaker 1: time is coming to a close. It's a it's a

1746
01:25:20,160 --> 01:25:21,840
Speaker 1: good one. It's a good one. The Giant. I think

1747
01:25:21,880 --> 01:25:23,800
Speaker 1: it's a good one. I think it's a terrible lock,

1748
01:25:24,920 --> 01:25:27,000
Speaker 1: like a game that a week ago that they'd beat

1749
01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:29,360
Speaker 1: two or three point underdogs. I'm not a huge Panthers

1750
01:25:29,640 --> 01:25:31,840
Speaker 1: the Panthers in this game. I did take the Panthers

1751
01:25:32,040 --> 01:25:34,600
Speaker 1: as a flip. You hate the Giants. See, we got

1752
01:25:34,640 --> 01:25:39,200
Speaker 1: a lot of things going on there and week one

1753
01:25:39,240 --> 01:25:41,799
Speaker 1: on his mind. I just mean they have the Giants

1754
01:25:41,840 --> 01:25:44,559
Speaker 1: have a lot of issues. When you watch that Titans game,

1755
01:25:44,560 --> 01:25:46,320
Speaker 1: I still watch it and thought like the Titans would

1756
01:25:46,360 --> 01:25:50,320
Speaker 1: win that eight times at issues. The last two teams

1757
01:25:50,360 --> 01:25:52,519
Speaker 1: the last five or six years have been enjoyable for you.

1758
01:25:52,600 --> 01:25:56,840
Speaker 1: With the Giants in Flames ten, you're not You're not

1759
01:25:57,040 --> 01:25:59,920
Speaker 1: having um any time. You're not like way into the

1760
01:26:00,040 --> 01:26:02,920
Speaker 1: idea of a Giant's renaissance. I don't mind this team

1761
01:26:02,920 --> 01:26:05,479
Speaker 1: because if you remember, I've been in love with the idea.

1762
01:26:05,560 --> 01:26:07,960
Speaker 1: I've been a pretty big Daniel Jones guy, liked aias Sony.

1763
01:26:08,000 --> 01:26:09,840
Speaker 1: I like them to be watchable. See Quan look like

1764
01:26:09,880 --> 01:26:12,760
Speaker 1: actually better than he ever looked. Because even though what

1765
01:26:12,880 --> 01:26:14,600
Speaker 1: you said to m j D on Monday on that

1766
01:26:14,720 --> 01:26:18,400
Speaker 1: program forty six, that's gonna stick with you. It's gonna

1767
01:26:18,400 --> 01:26:20,519
Speaker 1: stick to the ribs forever. They made up for it,

1768
01:26:20,800 --> 01:26:23,120
Speaker 1: you know, if if they had never gotten that fourth

1769
01:26:23,160 --> 01:26:25,679
Speaker 1: title or whatever, really really use it on a throne

1770
01:26:25,720 --> 01:26:28,799
Speaker 1: of lies six. All right, let's wrap up the draft

1771
01:26:28,920 --> 01:26:32,479
Speaker 1: here with Greg Rosenthal. All Right, we're down to our

1772
01:26:32,920 --> 01:26:37,000
Speaker 1: final game, and uh it is Colts Jags. It's a

1773
01:26:37,160 --> 01:26:39,599
Speaker 1: nice final game. To get. That's the game I would

1774
01:26:39,640 --> 01:26:41,559
Speaker 1: have taken if I wasn't a Jets homer. The only

1775
01:26:41,600 --> 01:26:43,600
Speaker 1: reason I didn't take it was I already had the

1776
01:26:43,680 --> 01:26:45,439
Speaker 1: Colts a week ago as my backup game, and I

1777
01:26:45,560 --> 01:26:49,240
Speaker 1: like to diversify your portfolio, as it were, I really do.

1778
01:26:49,760 --> 01:26:54,559
Speaker 1: And um, yeah, it's a good game, but little juice,

1779
01:26:54,600 --> 01:26:58,880
Speaker 1: little juice, like the Cults were very vanilla a week ago.

1780
01:26:59,200 --> 01:27:02,960
Speaker 1: We're dis pointing, and Frank Reich has not won a

1781
01:27:03,040 --> 01:27:07,360
Speaker 1: game yet in Jacksonville. Of course, I don't know. They

1782
01:27:07,400 --> 01:27:12,160
Speaker 1: haven't one in Jacksonville in eight years, maybe the worst

1783
01:27:12,200 --> 01:27:16,439
Speaker 1: team in the league. Outside that, everything was hard for

1784
01:27:16,760 --> 01:27:19,719
Speaker 1: for both of these offenses, really, especially for the Colts

1785
01:27:19,760 --> 01:27:22,680
Speaker 1: where just like it's kind of like the Patriots, like

1786
01:27:22,720 --> 01:27:26,200
Speaker 1: you really earn in those eight yard completions. Everyone's covered.

1787
01:27:26,680 --> 01:27:28,920
Speaker 1: You're not gonna get any playmaking on a Ryan or

1788
01:27:28,960 --> 01:27:30,800
Speaker 1: deep throws. And I think Matt Ryan will be better,

1789
01:27:30,920 --> 01:27:34,240
Speaker 1: but he made too many mistakes. And Trevor Lawrence kind

1790
01:27:34,280 --> 01:27:36,840
Speaker 1: of like to ah, I'm not gonna overreact to one week.

1791
01:27:37,280 --> 01:27:39,760
Speaker 1: But if you put each of their games, Trevor into

1792
01:27:39,880 --> 01:27:43,880
Speaker 1: a into uh my two thousand and twenty one game

1793
01:27:43,920 --> 01:27:46,760
Speaker 1: pass viewing, you wouldn't have noticed any difference. It was

1794
01:27:46,800 --> 01:27:50,080
Speaker 1: a lot of open misses by Trevor. It wasn't kind

1795
01:27:50,080 --> 01:27:53,400
Speaker 1: of the next level playmaking that you would expect. And

1796
01:27:53,479 --> 01:27:55,519
Speaker 1: it was two or three really nice throws to that

1797
01:27:55,600 --> 01:27:58,679
Speaker 1: get you two intentional groundings, the force throw that basically

1798
01:27:58,840 --> 01:28:01,240
Speaker 1: ended the game. Kind of stuff that you need to

1799
01:28:01,280 --> 01:28:03,720
Speaker 1: see kind of go away to me. It's mostly the

1800
01:28:03,760 --> 01:28:07,240
Speaker 1: accuracy though, that just that he misses uh way more

1801
01:28:07,320 --> 01:28:09,400
Speaker 1: than average throws he does, and like I mean, I

1802
01:28:09,680 --> 01:28:12,479
Speaker 1: also would say that he would be fairly frustrated by

1803
01:28:12,560 --> 01:28:15,640
Speaker 1: that Travis et N screen pass drop right near the

1804
01:28:15,720 --> 01:28:17,840
Speaker 1: end zone and e t N. I thought was that's

1805
01:28:17,840 --> 01:28:20,280
Speaker 1: a great example. That was a bad throw, Like he's

1806
01:28:21,760 --> 01:28:27,680
Speaker 1: at absolutely's that's sort of what I mean. Quarterbacks give

1807
01:28:27,760 --> 01:28:30,080
Speaker 1: it right to you there. They don't make their running

1808
01:28:30,120 --> 01:28:33,320
Speaker 1: back jump. He we've just assumed that's what I mean,

1809
01:28:33,360 --> 01:28:34,960
Speaker 1: he was going to be this second year leap and

1810
01:28:35,080 --> 01:28:37,280
Speaker 1: I'm not seeing it yet. He has thirteen touchdowns and

1811
01:28:37,360 --> 01:28:39,679
Speaker 1: eighteen starts and a lot of that. I get last

1812
01:28:39,760 --> 01:28:42,000
Speaker 1: year's chaos is the reason for so much of that,

1813
01:28:42,360 --> 01:28:44,720
Speaker 1: But at what point is he going to make play

1814
01:28:44,800 --> 01:28:46,439
Speaker 1: to win the game? The interception at the end was

1815
01:28:46,520 --> 01:28:48,200
Speaker 1: just a bad decision. That was it. That was a

1816
01:28:48,320 --> 01:28:51,400
Speaker 1: nice opportunity for him to get out of the gage strong,

1817
01:28:51,840 --> 01:28:54,439
Speaker 1: and instead he did look like the guy from last year. Still,

1818
01:28:54,560 --> 01:28:57,800
Speaker 1: so here's another opportunity at home. Let's see if he

1819
01:28:57,840 --> 01:29:00,880
Speaker 1: can get in week eighteen. Their defense needs to be

1820
01:29:00,960 --> 01:29:04,120
Speaker 1: better too. They have the second most expensive defense in

1821
01:29:04,160 --> 01:29:07,639
Speaker 1: the entire NFL. Uh and two of those big signings

1822
01:29:07,720 --> 01:29:11,360
Speaker 1: this offseason, Darius Williams and in Foy Louis con We're

1823
01:29:11,400 --> 01:29:14,519
Speaker 1: getting cooked by my guy, Scott Turner. Let's check in

1824
01:29:14,600 --> 01:29:21,200
Speaker 1: with the Cincinnati Zoo. Hey, heroes, the Westing Brothers are

1825
01:29:21,240 --> 01:29:23,120
Speaker 1: coming off a big win in week one, so we're

1826
01:29:23,160 --> 01:29:25,680
Speaker 1: back for week two. Greg, what's up with you? You

1827
01:29:25,720 --> 01:29:27,400
Speaker 1: want to change the rules of the game. Not only

1828
01:29:27,439 --> 01:29:28,640
Speaker 1: do we have to get the pick right, but we

1829
01:29:28,680 --> 01:29:32,400
Speaker 1: have to get the analysis correct to doesn't make any sense,

1830
01:29:32,880 --> 01:29:35,240
Speaker 1: Just like you changing the rules halfway through the game

1831
01:29:36,000 --> 01:29:39,040
Speaker 1: and then you calling us the Cincinnati Zoo. That doesn't

1832
01:29:39,080 --> 01:29:41,080
Speaker 1: even make any sense. The Cincinnati Zoo is a world

1833
01:29:41,120 --> 01:29:45,160
Speaker 1: class organization and we are post definitely not Mark to

1834
01:29:45,200 --> 01:29:47,760
Speaker 1: keep up the great work. We love you, bro. This

1835
01:29:47,960 --> 01:29:50,920
Speaker 1: week we were all over the place again, So maybe

1836
01:29:50,960 --> 01:29:54,160
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Zoo does work. After all, we have five

1837
01:29:54,240 --> 01:29:56,800
Speaker 1: different picks. In the end, we did come to a

1838
01:29:56,880 --> 01:30:03,200
Speaker 1: consensus and the Colts get right against the jagu Can't

1839
01:30:03,240 --> 01:30:06,120
Speaker 1: you imagine, because I remember West talking about, like, you know,

1840
01:30:06,640 --> 01:30:09,280
Speaker 1: Sunday dinner, Mom would just throw a piece of like

1841
01:30:09,439 --> 01:30:11,519
Speaker 1: raw meat down the steps in the basement and whoever

1842
01:30:11,600 --> 01:30:14,559
Speaker 1: got it? Eight um, can't you imagine like a bare

1843
01:30:14,680 --> 01:30:17,920
Speaker 1: knuckle backyard brawl in one of their backyards, whoever one

1844
01:30:18,000 --> 01:30:19,519
Speaker 1: got to do the lock of the week. Yeah, and

1845
01:30:19,600 --> 01:30:21,599
Speaker 1: we picked. We said last year that the in fighting

1846
01:30:21,760 --> 01:30:23,720
Speaker 1: nearly derailed I mean it did derail the multiply. I

1847
01:30:23,800 --> 01:30:26,120
Speaker 1: wondering now if it's just working, well, it could be

1848
01:30:26,240 --> 01:30:30,080
Speaker 1: like yeah, it could be like a it leads to

1849
01:30:30,240 --> 01:30:32,400
Speaker 1: them to all bring the best out of each other,

1850
01:30:32,479 --> 01:30:33,920
Speaker 1: you know, because they all want to be the best.

1851
01:30:34,360 --> 01:30:36,600
Speaker 1: Sometimes they can go the opposite direction. Well, I like

1852
01:30:36,680 --> 01:30:38,599
Speaker 1: what he said to me on that on that video.

1853
01:30:39,280 --> 01:30:43,080
Speaker 1: I liked his pronunciation of jaguars too, which is that's

1854
01:30:43,120 --> 01:30:45,800
Speaker 1: a thing not not exclusive to Ohio. It's a sound

1855
01:30:45,920 --> 01:30:49,760
Speaker 1: and then the Ohio. But yeah, Nick, while you're if

1856
01:30:49,760 --> 01:30:53,000
Speaker 1: you're taking shots, just like if I'm gonna be you know,

1857
01:30:53,120 --> 01:30:55,680
Speaker 1: get criticizing each week. Let's bring a little more energy too.

1858
01:30:56,760 --> 01:30:59,160
Speaker 1: Probably you probably Staysten to this point. I want that

1859
01:30:59,320 --> 01:31:02,120
Speaker 1: Nick energy, you know. And Nick, yeah, I don't have

1860
01:31:02,200 --> 01:31:03,840
Speaker 1: any issue with you coming at me. And you know

1861
01:31:03,960 --> 01:31:08,800
Speaker 1: that's a great nickname for your entire family. That's a

1862
01:31:08,840 --> 01:31:13,800
Speaker 1: great line about the Cincinnati Alright, that's it. That's week two.

1863
01:31:14,600 --> 01:31:16,920
Speaker 1: This is what's coming up from the show. We have

1864
01:31:17,120 --> 01:31:19,960
Speaker 1: the Friday Fun Show, which will be one last look

1865
01:31:20,000 --> 01:31:22,760
Speaker 1: before we get to Sunday, having some fun, getting the

1866
01:31:22,960 --> 01:31:28,240
Speaker 1: listeners involved, sharing some spicy takes going over Thursday night football.

1867
01:31:28,320 --> 01:31:32,040
Speaker 1: So check that out. Uh, Friday morning, ten Pacific, one eastern,

1868
01:31:32,600 --> 01:31:36,880
Speaker 1: six pm London and the surrounding territories. Sunday night the

1869
01:31:36,920 --> 01:31:40,000
Speaker 1: Flagship show. Patrick, you're gonna get a plug in. You've

1870
01:31:40,040 --> 01:31:43,240
Speaker 1: said it all. Yeah, let's get a little game debut

1871
01:31:43,439 --> 01:31:47,800
Speaker 1: tomorrow is the newest co host on game debut. So

1872
01:31:47,880 --> 01:31:51,479
Speaker 1: we'll be picking games on Friday afternoon. I think what

1873
01:31:51,600 --> 01:31:55,080
Speaker 1: is when does that air? Five o'clock Pacific, eight o'clock eastern. Yeah,

1874
01:31:55,200 --> 01:31:57,720
Speaker 1: multiple things with Greg and then I won't be in

1875
01:31:57,760 --> 01:31:59,320
Speaker 1: the news room with you all on Sunday. But so

1876
01:31:59,400 --> 01:32:02,400
Speaker 1: I'll say it now. Uh, the accusations that Mark Sessler

1877
01:32:02,479 --> 01:32:06,920
Speaker 1: is wavering in his offseason decision are disrespectful. I trust Mark,

1878
01:32:07,000 --> 01:32:08,599
Speaker 1: and I don't know why you guys don't trust Mark.

1879
01:32:08,880 --> 01:32:11,080
Speaker 1: It's like weird. To me, it's weird. I think what

1880
01:32:11,280 --> 01:32:16,040
Speaker 1: you're saying is wrong. I think you don't have the knowledge,

1881
01:32:16,120 --> 01:32:19,639
Speaker 1: institutional knowledge for the personal knowledge of Mark to come

1882
01:32:19,720 --> 01:32:22,280
Speaker 1: with that strong a take. I mean, I think no one,

1883
01:32:22,439 --> 01:32:24,760
Speaker 1: none of you have the enough personal knowledge of Mark

1884
01:32:24,840 --> 01:32:28,920
Speaker 1: to make any takes. The only person who knows what's

1885
01:32:28,960 --> 01:32:31,960
Speaker 1: going on in there is Mark Sessler does. Is that true?

1886
01:32:33,479 --> 01:32:37,800
Speaker 1: Often true? Often true? All right, So that's it. Thank

1887
01:32:37,880 --> 01:32:42,479
Speaker 1: you to everybody for listening. Um and again, remember the
