1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: They around the NFL podcast Wins in the trenches, damn right,

2
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,959
Speaker 1: we do. From the Chris Westling podcast, because that's where

3
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: that's where ball games have decided from boys from the

4
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 1: Chris Westley podcast studio. It's around the NFL. I'm Dan Kansas.

5
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: I got heroes here, Greg Rosenthal, Mark Sessler Week nine

6
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: preview Show nine the traditional midpoint of a season than

7
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: they ruined it with the seventeenth game. That's all acknowledge.

8
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 1: It's still kind of super annoying that the season now

9
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: is an odd number of games. Okay, this is the

10
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 1: don't make it. Eighteen and a couple after Sunday is

11
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 1: the midpoint. Now it is official. There's eighteen weeks. Wasn't

12
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: it nice? Though? I see the way that the mind works.

13
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: The symmetry of talked about it all is still there

14
00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: for me. But it is what it is. You would

15
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: also it is. It's the bipocalypse. Um, we have dirty

16
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: two teams, six teams on by that leaves twenty six teams,

17
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: which means games take out team which we already previewed

18
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: twelve games to talk about. And it has fantasy heads

19
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 1: um freaking out, which I love because the rosters are

20
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: not the fantasy heads out there, and I'm one of them.

21
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: I have a league of record, um the trades, and

22
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: in my personal league of record, just panic trades over

23
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: one week. I need a quarterback. I can't live people

24
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 1: on relax. It's one week. Isn't everyone dealing with the

25
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: same ecosystem in theory? Well, some people, you know the

26
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 1: way things signed up, get banged harder than others. But

27
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: at the same time, it's just like, what about what

28
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: about you? Greg? You are you built rhoda world brick

29
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: by brick? Um? Do you have any advice to the

30
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: people out there that are thinking to do panic trades

31
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: at this time of year? Yes? I always thought bye

32
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: week concern was vastly over rated. You don't know if

33
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: you've got it. You can win with a makeshift lineup,

34
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: you can lose with a good looking lineup. Anyways, don't

35
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: make any trades in a bye week or about bye

36
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: weeks that you wouldn't make anyway. Simultaneously, last time we

37
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: checked in with you, you have a child who was

38
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: a winless in a fantasy lead one sou off the good,

39
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: good good before we get to the games, um and uh,

40
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: the prime time games in the draft. This is an

41
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: audio medium. But also we're on NFL network. I always

42
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: forget that, including at the start of the show where

43
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: I started to reach down for my bag and don't

44
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: do it. I forgot this is tape. Don't do it.

45
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 1: Um trying to make sense of the top of your shirt.

46
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: Is it a collared shirt? Is it a like a

47
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: more back to the future jacket? And h it's really

48
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: more of a jacket that works as a shirt. And

49
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: it was a pretty nippy out. You are you are

50
00:02:55,040 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: removing a garmentge I like this. I think that was

51
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: the move. That was the plan, I think initially, but

52
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: it's it's a little nippy. I would say it's brisk

53
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: in the l a greater area. Right. All right, let's

54
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: get into it. Let's start with the prime time games,

55
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: and that takes us to Arrowhead Stadium where the Tennessee Titans,

56
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: of five and two and riding a five game winning

57
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: streak get the Kansas City Chiefs. Uh coming off a

58
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: bye and this is a nice one. It's a good one.

59
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: It's a great measuring stick game for the Titans to

60
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: me mark because you have we know, I know what

61
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are. The Chiefs are gonna be there, and

62
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna be in the final four in my opinion,

63
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: barring some catastrophic issue. So win or losing this game,

64
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: I'm still gonna be like, Okay, the Chiefs will navigate

65
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: where they need to go. I also think the Titans

66
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: will get to January and being good position. But do

67
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: I believe in the Titans? Do I feel like that

68
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: Titans can hang with one of the Big three, which

69
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: Kansas City is nice measuring stick here. It kind of

70
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: reminds me of what we at about the Titans a

71
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: year ago before they played the Chiefs and then swept

72
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: them up to three, and it was like another one

73
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: of those Mike Rabel games where you just remember, the

74
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: Titans are a little bit more then we think, and

75
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: I think nationally the Titans are often just bypassed and

76
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: forgotten mentally on some level, no matter the record. That said,

77
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 1: the role that in some of these they do, and

78
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 1: they're just you know, nestled down in Nashville, which, according

79
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: to our old friend west Uh was in the Midwest.

80
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: I don't. I've never agreed with that take, but that's

81
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: for another day. That that blowout, though a year ago

82
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 1: was a classic a J. Brown show of dominance, and

83
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: they don't have a J. Brown. Now, their passing game

84
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: has been a huge mess. They haven't scored over thirty

85
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: points in eight straight games. So if you get the

86
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: version of the Chiefs, which I think we will no

87
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: matter who they play, that blew the doors off of

88
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: San Francisco before the bye, and then you got Andy

89
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 1: Reid coming off of Byberi's twenty and three over the

90
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 1: last twenty three years, I don't like this situation for

91
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 1: Tennessee at all, no matter their fortitude, yes or no,

92
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 1: I'm with you. The Titans, because they got blown out

93
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: so much on that Monday night football game against the Bills,

94
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: are still negative in terms of a scoring differential this year.

95
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: It's like, you want more respect, all right, have a

96
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: positive scoring differential? Uh, And they've had a very soft

97
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: schedule for the most part. Yeah, show up here, but

98
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: we've kind of seen the Titans show up in the

99
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: regular season. That's not the problem the A. J. Brown trade.

100
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: I've heard some people say almost like, oh, look, the

101
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 1: Titans are surviving despite them facing A. J. Brown. It's like, no,

102
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: that's the biggest reason why the Brown trade hurts more

103
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: than every differ, they'd be a contender with A J. Brown.

104
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: And now you look at them and they look like

105
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: playoff horse meat, but they're very likely to make the

106
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: playoff playoff? Is that tasting something that no one, no

107
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: one wants at the beginning of the play playoff Hamburger Helper, Um,

108
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 1: what what? What? What? The Titans have average in the

109
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: NFL point six yards per game? So by one broad

110
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: cittist go measure, they have the worst offense in the league,

111
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: and yes, having the best one of the best wide receivers.

112
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: I do think A J. Brown is not that this

113
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: is surprising us, but he's a top ten receiver in

114
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: the league. You're a top ten analyst, mark A J.

115
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: Brown is the top ten receiver. So you take him

116
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 1: out of the mix, and you don't have someone to

117
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: kind of funnel those targets to jump in here Grave Digger, Um,

118
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: you do have Derrick Henry, of course, who's coming off

119
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: another two yard game against Houston. I don't know if

120
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: we expect that to happen again. But you have Ryan

121
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,559
Speaker 1: Tannehill practicing in a limited fashion. I assume he's playing

122
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: in this game. I confidently stated last week that Ryan

123
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 1: Tannehill would play, and then he got sick on Friday

124
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,799
Speaker 1: and didn't play. That's not against you, that's not your fault.

125
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: We didn't know about the illness last right, I'm going

126
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: to confidently again state that Ryan Tannehill will play in

127
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 1: this game. Will it matter, that's the question. The chief

128
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: matters because Maliake Willis would give them is definitely true.

129
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: The Chiefs have a really good statistical run defense when

130
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: you look at the raw numbers, but when you look closely,

131
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: they have struggled against heavier formations. The Raiders ran all

132
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: over them with six offensive linemen on the field for

133
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: most of the game. So I think the Titans game

134
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: plan is gonna be to try to run the ball.

135
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: Will they be successful. It's always interesting because like some

136
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: teams like the Texans last week, you know that Derrick

137
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: Henry is getting the ball and they still can't stop it.

138
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: Sometimes teams just know that the Titans are gonna give

139
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: the ball to Henry, so they load up the box,

140
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: and even if they have been susceptible to the run

141
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: in other games, they know where to focus their attention

142
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: and are able to stop der Henry. So it really

143
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: comes down to that These are also the two top

144
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: teams in terms of red zone success right this season,

145
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: so that could be the difference in the game. If

146
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: one team is having to kick a lot of field

147
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: goals and their team is scoring touchdowns than that, you

148
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: know that could be it. Well, that explains the Titans

149
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: record on some level, because when you have the last

150
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: ranked offense in terms of yards, how are you getting

151
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: your points? You're getting it because Derrick Henry and Ryan

152
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: Tannehill combined are an amazing red zone combination. When I

153
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: know Malik Willis is a runner, but Ryan Tanner is

154
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: one of the best decision making running quarterback. When he's

155
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: in the red zoners short yard and situation, you need

156
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: him because you just don't think the Titans defense can

157
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: slow down Kansas City enough. The Chiefs are back in

158
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: that mode where if they have the ball like against

159
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: the forty niners, for instance, and there's about thirty five

160
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: seconds left in the half, it's like we're going for

161
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: a touchdown, like and they're getting it and they're now

162
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: that explosive. They have so many different ways that they

163
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: can beat you the Titans, don't. The Titans need to

164
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: show at some point that they can protect Ryan Tannehill

165
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: and that they could throw through the air or else

166
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: they're not gonna have any chance. Mahomes was only touched

167
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: three times, like touched by the San Francisco forty Niners.

168
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: So I'm not even assuming that the Titans front just

169
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 1: like gets after him and pushes them around. No. In

170
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,719
Speaker 1: Kansas City is everything that the Titans aren't on the A. J.

171
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: Brown from For all these teams that traded away their

172
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: star wide receivers, it's working in Kansas City. Juju Smith Schuster,

173
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 1: Mark has Valdes scantling a hundred yards both against the Niners.

174
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: That's the first time that's happened to the Kansas City

175
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: Chiefs with two wide receivers crossing a hundred yards in

176
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: the game since the year two thousand and now they've

177
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: added Kadarius Tony, and I think that's gonna work. So

178
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: Tony is going this is Andy Reid's quote yesterday, They're

179
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: gonna try to work him in during the Week nine game.

180
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: But Andy Reid has also said it's gonna be a process.

181
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: So I wouldn't expect Tony to play a lot in

182
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: this game. But I think Juju Smith Schuster, like you're

183
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: saying is now found his place in this offense, and

184
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: I think that's going to continue. I think he's gonna

185
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: be a guy you could lock and load every week

186
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: for five or six catches for eighty to a hundred yards,

187
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: will score touchdowns. But the one guy want to highlight

188
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: before we move on, Travis Kelsey is at playing at

189
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: the peak of his powers statistically and looks unstoppable. He

190
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 1: leads the NFL and receptions for a tight end with

191
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: forty seven receiving yards five fifty three. He's already got

192
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: seven touchdowns. And I feel like we had conversations Greg

193
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: last year about is Kelsey still the same dude he

194
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 1: was as he's slowing down and this year and I

195
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: get mad when I think, speaking of fantasy, when Tyreek

196
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: gets traded, it's still Patrick mahoons and reed. It was

197
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: so obvious now in retrospect that Kelsey was in line

198
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: to have a monster year, and that's absolutely what's happening here.

199
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: He had that play against the forty niners and I

200
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 1: know it was a touchdown called back by penalty where

201
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: your boy who Fonga, you know, trying to deliver this

202
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: breathtaking hit just like cracking him at the goal line

203
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: and he just bounced off him like it was just

204
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: like a small child, and that this is like one

205
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: of the hardest hitters in the league, and like Kelsey's

206
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: just so strong. It just was like, I don't care

207
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: about you. I'm gonna walk into the end zone when

208
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: you bounce off me. He also does have a podcast

209
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: with his brother now, a very successful one, and he

210
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: is the enemy of our podcast. You know, it's produced

211
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: a little at least in part by you know, executive producer.

212
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 1: I don't know where t D is at in the

213
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: flow chart right now, but our producer and the around

214
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: the League producer back in two thousand and thirteen or fourteen,

215
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: TD is involved in that. For TD, is that his mind?

216
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: Is that an upgrade? Did he upgrade off of our show?

217
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: Or is he is our show always the height? I

218
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 1: don't imagine he would have left the company seven years

219
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: ago if he saw our show as the height of

220
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: his career. Well, I think he's definitely he's upgraded his money,

221
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: that's important. But he did text me out of the

222
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: blue a couple of weeks ago when Paul Rudd was

223
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: on their show to say, oh, you came up on

224
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: the Kelsey Brothers podcast, which was cool, and Paul Roads,

225
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 1: a friend of mine, not the number the number one

226
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: according to the Dan Hands Power rankings today with a

227
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: bit of bite, a little bite, he you know what

228
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 1: it was, Well, we don't have to get into it.

229
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: But the Kelsey Brothers came after him for uh saying, oh,

230
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are the number one team in the power ranks.

231
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: And one of the other Kelsey brother the Eagle, was like,

232
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: whoa wa wait a second. Then Rudd was like, cornered

233
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 1: a little bit. He's like, oh, yeah, I just mean

234
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: it was Dan Hands is power rings. So that's a

235
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: very serene that's a kind that shout out right there.

236
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: Felt were very close and I'm wondering why Justin hasn't

237
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 1: gotten Paul Rudd on our podcast. Well, that's on our producers,

238
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 1: and you know, t D did it? T D Paul

239
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:05,559
Speaker 1: d guest, what is our guy doing. He's too busy

240
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: whining about the Titans being twelve point under drags. Oh,

241
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: nobody respects uspective us. Give us a good game though

242
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: we need one. On Sunday night, there's a lot of

243
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: snoozers when we're in that film room. I like Monday

244
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 1: night to the Ravens at Saints Ravens five and three

245
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:26,079
Speaker 1: Saints three and five. However, um, as we talked about

246
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: on the Flagship program on Sunday, this was a compelling

247
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: Saints performance that made you go, all right, can we

248
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 1: is there a chance here for the Saints to straighten

249
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,559
Speaker 1: some things out in a wide open conference and kind

250
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: of get back uh into the playoff mix. Well, here's

251
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: another great test, another measuring stick game here, Greggy, this

252
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,319
Speaker 1: time for the Saints against a Ravens team coming off

253
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 1: back to back wins. Yeah. I picked these two teams

254
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: as two of my favorite better than their record says,

255
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: they are teams or at least has more potent to

256
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: go on a run here. But one's not going to

257
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: feel very content on the website. I mean I kind

258
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: of put that same line in my picks column, So yes,

259
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: technically that would have been an a t N post

260
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: that it was about a thousand words. It's like one line,

261
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: and that's and I I want to believe that the

262
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 1: Saints defense turned a corner. That these players who were

263
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: all fired up about like we're gonna win this one

264
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: for Dennis Allen against the Raiders, they really were saying

265
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: that before the game it was a Dennis Allen revenge game,

266
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: and then they played with an energy that I just

267
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: haven't seen yet. They were well because they got he

268
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: got fired by these guys were in middle school when

269
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: that was happening terribly there. Marcus Davenport's and having one

270
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: of the worst seasons of his career, suddenly has a

271
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: game where he literally picked up Davante Adams like he

272
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: was a small child and threw him. Was one of

273
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 1: the most impressive things I've seen all season. Uh. Peyton

274
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 1: Turner remember him, They took him in the first round

275
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. Hasn't done anything, has barely played,

276
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: has a great game. Jordan plays great, their secondary plays great.

277
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: They've drafted a kid, Atlante Taylor has not only played

278
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: two games. In those two games, he's looked like a

279
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: star young cornerback. It's only two games, but he did

280
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: a great job against Davante Adams, Marshall Lattimore. Maybe he

281
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: returns this week and suddenly you're thinking, if they have

282
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: a top five defense, and I think they have the

283
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: personnel to do it. Pete Warner, I've talked about as

284
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: like an all proke type of guy. If they have

285
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: a good defense and this offense has been good enough

286
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: to make them frisky week after week, and then this

287
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: will be a really fun I would like Pete Warner

288
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: as one of my guys, by the way, because I've

289
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: already I mean I've talked about him a lot. I

290
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: can steal him from you. Yeah, it's right now, that's problematic.

291
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: I want to see the Ravens defense you'll get. You

292
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: have Roquan Smith dipped into the mix, Tius Bowser's back.

293
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: I mean that to me, they are they ranked past defense.

294
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: I don't. I think Andy Dalton can do something with

295
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: that um. But still there, we just seem to see

296
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: what the New Orleans situation is with their own wide receivers.

297
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: It feels like Michael Thomas drifted out to see and

298
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: may never return to us. In Civilization he is, he's

299
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: in line. There's a new season of Unsolved Mysteries on Netflix.

300
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: He's in line to be the season finale. I think so.

301
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: I mean his foot, like what, it's just it's an

302
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: unsolved Why isn't he un injured reserved? He hasn't played

303
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: in like two months. It's a fair question. They thought

304
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: they must have thought he would return faster than he is.

305
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: When you've had multiple injuries like this, maybe you're really

306
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: trying to be It has helped Chris Alvey emerge as

307
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: the best rookie receiver in the league. Yeah, but man,

308
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: to me, when Thomas returns, is a great number one,

309
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: and Thomas would be a great number two. I know

310
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: that sounds weird, but like he's more of the possession guy.

311
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: And then you got Taysom Hill in the running game,

312
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: you got Camara catching passes. So easy to gas Greg

313
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: up about the Saints, Yeah it is. Andy Dalton has

314
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: the highest PFF grade of his career far. He's playing

315
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: pretty good football. There is projection there, but there feels

316
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: like the Saints could be made for a run if all,

317
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: if the defense turns around, if these pieces come back, Like,

318
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: and you're trusting that you get the good version of Andy,

319
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: don't't because he's the starter going forward, But don't. We

320
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: feel like the Ravens are getting better and better. And

321
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: ultimately I picked the Ravens at a one point when

322
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: it was a hard one to shoot. But they just

323
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: feel like their defense is getting better and better each week,

324
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: and that their offense. I know they won't have a

325
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: shot Bateman. He's gonna be out a couple of weeks.

326
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: Sean Jackson might make his debut here in the se

327
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: I'm not getting excited about that. That does not gas moll.

328
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: They didn't make a receiver move here, so uh yeah,

329
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: yeah yeah. But when's the last time de Sean Jackson

330
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: had a sustained run of good play at this point

331
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: outside of one breakout game, I feel like he's had

332
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: one good game a year. It's usually week once five years.

333
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: It's usually weak one and then he vanishes. It's It's

334
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: a little worries from how the Ravens hasn't had a

335
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: consistent passing attack, but I think they'll be able to

336
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: run on the Saints. The Saints used to be known

337
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: as a great run defense, and maybe not anymore. You

338
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 1: got Guss, you got Lamar, which I thought their approach

339
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 1: to the Bucks game was so bizarre, the way they

340
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: threw the ball something like thirty five times in the

341
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: first half, then they ran it so well in the second.

342
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: If they can do that against the Saints, I need

343
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: to Mark and how is Mark Andrews health because with

344
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 1: the wide receiver position being thin already, um, the shoulder

345
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,199
Speaker 1: injury is not quote a major thing according to John Harball,

346
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: but a bum shoulder is tough for a physical guy,

347
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 1: like a tight end like Mark Andrews. Su keep an

348
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: eye on that. All right, let's move to the draft.

349
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: I think it's all right. Let's move to the draft.

350
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 1: With the first overall pick in the Week nine around

351
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft, Marks, Well, I'm gonna go, uh, simply

352
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: for the attraction of watching potentially massive disaster unfold for

353
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 1: one of the two teams the Rams at the Bucks.

354
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: There's only two late games we like strategize how we

355
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: draft here, and I'm taking one of them, and I

356
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: just want to see. Uh. I do wonder if I'm

357
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: signing up to watch um a super dull period piece,

358
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: because the Bucks have been tough on the eyes for

359
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 1: a long long time. Here. Little Women, Little Women, Little Women,

360
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: Little Women is a nice film and you can make

361
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: a sound drop as you want. Agreement from the heavens.

362
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: Give me a little Women on a flight across the

363
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: guy all day. I'm thinking more like a nine part

364
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: um PBS or BBC. Uh. I really stepped on a

365
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 1: landmine there with Little Women, like an old Greg and

366
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: I like to share book and film recommendation. That's bad beat.

367
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,919
Speaker 1: That's a bad beat. But let's save it for the

368
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: Little Women podcast. H go on, uh, I just see

369
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: two teams that can't play a complete game. You know,

370
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: two of the league's most frustrated quarterbacks, the two of

371
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: the league's most frustrated coaches. I mean, the Rams have

372
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: the highest turnover rate of any offense in the league.

373
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: It did that. That's the thing, the reason it matters,

374
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: just because whoever loses this and you can you can

375
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: nit pick them all for what they can't do. Whoever

376
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: loses this um the Bucks will have six losses at

377
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 1: this point, the Rams five, and I just simply at

378
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 1: that point, I'm willing to say, you're just a bad team.

379
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: And I don't really care all the terrible NFC shakes

380
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 1: out if one of these sneaks in his wild card

381
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 1: but can handle their business here, I don't trust you

382
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 1: at all, and I will simply whoever loses this game

383
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 1: gets removed from my hemisphere for the rest of the

384
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 1: regular season. I will not speak of you. I will

385
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: ignore you. Here's one problem. Here's one problem with that Mark. Yeah,

386
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 1: other than what Greg just said, I'm gonna take a

387
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: look at the NFC South standings, and right now I

388
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: get all that the Bucks are one game out of

389
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: first place, so as annoying as it is, even a loss,

390
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: as bad as it would be, and it'll be very

391
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 1: bad if the if the Bucks once again fall here

392
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: at home. Uh, they're still alive. The Rams, man, I

393
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: don't know for them. I don't know where the Rams

394
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,679
Speaker 1: are at. Um. We've talked about how they failed to

395
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 1: get the premier pass rusher they were after. That tells

396
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: me they still think they are a von Miller is

397
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,959
Speaker 1: away and well, they wanted to add that piece. They

398
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: did not add that piece. They wanted to add the

399
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 1: piece on offense CMC, they did not add that piece.

400
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 1: They still you know this Odell Beckham idea is just

401
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,439
Speaker 1: an idea rather than anything real. Or we don't even

402
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: know what his physical situations. So that just who they

403
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,439
Speaker 1: are still right now, Greggy, which is a team that

404
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 1: has struggled to consistently move the ball. Um they are

405
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:33,360
Speaker 1: thirtieth and overall total offense this season in terms of yardage,

406
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: which I think it goes down in a season of

407
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: a lot of surprises and a lot of let's frankly

408
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: let's just say what it is a lot of the

409
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: teams we expected to be good have been bitterly disappointing.

410
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 1: That that's a big one right there. Yeah, this is

411
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 1: like the Bad Vibes Bowl. And I think these two

412
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: teams are different. I think it's bigger for the Rams

413
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: because they're not in the NFC South. Like, yeah, the

414
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,199
Speaker 1: NFC is a mess, but you're probably gonna have to

415
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,479
Speaker 1: have a winning record to make the playoffs here still, Like,

416
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: especially with how good the NFC East is, you can't

417
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: be third place in the NFC West and expect to

418
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. You're gonna have to pass one of

419
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 1: those teams ahead of you. The Bucks to me look

420
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: like a good team that's playing bad. But the Rams

421
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 1: just look like a bad team. If you took away

422
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: the uniforms and you know the players, and there's obviously

423
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: great players on it, Cup and and Donald and Ramsey,

424
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: they just are playing and look like a bad team.

425
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: There's no there's nothing in the numbers, there's nothing in

426
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,159
Speaker 1: the eye test, there's nothing that tells you they're not

427
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:34,640
Speaker 1: extremely limited on offense because of their offensive line, and

428
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 1: that they're nothing special on defense. Despite Donald and Ramsey,

429
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,239
Speaker 1: we we've hit seven three games. The Bucks to me

430
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: feel more like they're sloppy and they just can't get

431
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:48,120
Speaker 1: it together. And there two steps forward, you know, three

432
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: steps back, but like it's there and the players are

433
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: there and they get a little healthier this week. And

434
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: the Rams they just haven't shown it to me. I

435
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: just feel like they're they're a good coaching staff and

436
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: a bad team doesn't make anything. That offense obviously is

437
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: getting a lot of flak, as it should. It's been disappointing.

438
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 1: But the defense, like you're saying, like they have averaged

439
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: fewer sacks a game than last year, fewer takeaways a game. Um,

440
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 1: and Aaron Donald, this a little under the radar. He

441
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: has zero sacks and three of his last four games,

442
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: and sacks don't always tell the whole story. But he

443
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: only has one game this season where he has multiple

444
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: QB hits. I mean, this is a historically dominant player

445
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 1: who ruins game plans by even if he doesn't get

446
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 1: the sack, just being in the grill and getting in

447
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: a quarterback space and in a quarterback's head. Um, we're

448
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: not seeing that as much. So man, it just seems

449
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: so much as out of whack with his team. And

450
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: maybe it is the Super Bowl hangover, but that that

451
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 1: I don't know what that even means, but it is

452
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: the team that played in February and came back and

453
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: beat Cincinnati is just not here anymore. They also, I

454
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 1: think their weapons were operating at their height on that

455
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: run Stafford, You're getting the good version of Stafford. You're

456
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: not getting the good version of Stafford behind this line

457
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: at any level, and at this week. If Cooper cup,

458
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: I mean he's not he didn't practice during a portion

459
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 1: of this week that you know they projected to play.

460
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: But what version of Cooper Cup? Because if it's if

461
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 1: it's less, then where do the Rams go? They essentially

462
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: are sitting around behind the scenes trying to men fences

463
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: with cam akers. They're running back. Can you name two

464
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: teams in the league that abandoned the run more quickly

465
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 1: in games when things don't work? Then these two teams,

466
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: they're both unbalanced on offense. And the Rams cannot get

467
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: themselves out of a jam. And we saw it against

468
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 1: the Niners. They have they have one good half in them.

469
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: They don't have they don't have to. They they can't

470
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: uh protect Stafford but the Bucks defense, their numbers have

471
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: really declined over the last three weeks. They were great

472
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 1: the first month and one of the worst defense in

473
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 1: the league, like one of the six weeks. Yeah, the

474
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 1: last three or four weeks, and they have needed blitzes

475
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 1: to create pressure. And now they're without um Shaq Barrett

476
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: for the rest of the season, and so that problem

477
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: could be even bigger. But but blitzes have been really

478
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: working on Matthew Stafford. In this line, communication isn't there.

479
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: And I saw how Carlton Davis and Cameron Brayton Sean

480
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: Murphy bunting our attorney. And when I see these two quarterbacks,

481
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: I still see them very different. I see Tom Brady

482
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 1: having a chance and playing pretty at least having moments.

483
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: He didn't play great on Thursday Night Football. But they

484
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: have a little extra rest, they're at home. Last week,

485
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 1: I picked against a team that was on a four

486
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: game losing streak and I hit that lock. And this

487
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: week I'm locking up a team on a three game

488
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: losing streak. That's the Buccaneers. They're gonna win this game.

489
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: That is a spicy lock. Okay, I yeah, I'm I'm

490
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 1: I believe better Football's ahead for Brady as well. I

491
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: could see it for Stafford to though, so I'm not

492
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 1: totally writing off the Rams and maybe this is their

493
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: circle the Wagons type game. But I want to say

494
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 1: one more thing about Cooper cut The reason we're talking

495
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: about him a couple of minutes ago is because he

496
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 1: has a bad ankle now because he was in the

497
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: end of that game, and I think that kind of

498
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: just is a symbolic of the whiff of desperation around

499
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: the Rams right now, Like they got their butts whipped

500
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,679
Speaker 1: by their rival in their building filled with red and

501
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: it was almost like cup and Stafford were still trying

502
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 1: to connect late in that game, just to make things

503
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: look presentable, put a little lipstick on the pig h

504
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: and it just tells you, like, how out of whack

505
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: this team is right now. So is it excusable that

506
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: is one of the worst coaching moves of the year.

507
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 1: He either just had like a total mental meltdown where

508
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 1: he wasn't he just didn't care because they were down seventeen,

509
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 1: there was under two minutes left. This is the same

510
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: franchise that refuses to play even backup players in the

511
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 1: preseason for like half of a second, and you already

512
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: got him out there with seven. They when they're winning

513
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: like seems like a happy little boy on the sideline.

514
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: But when they're losing, you can just sense that start

515
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 1: to freak out a little bit. And the coaching has

516
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 1: not a year ago, like Raheem Morris for instance, that

517
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: was like going to be a head coach at this point,

518
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,159
Speaker 1: and it's like it's not working right now. If nothing's

519
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 1: working for the Rams, well, big game, all right, let's

520
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 1: take a break and we'll continue on. All right, here

521
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 1: we go, Let's get back into the draft. The old

522
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:05,360
Speaker 1: Zeuser is up and uh shocker, I'm going bills at

523
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 1: jets from the meadowlands A very big man. Is this

524
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: measuring stick weak? I feel like this might be a theme.

525
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: Oh I had another theme which I already forgot to

526
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 1: mention the last It is perfect for it. It was

527
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 1: like the which team stopped the slide? Week? You stop

528
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 1: the slide? Yeah, that would have fit that previous game. Alright,

529
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: It's like some teams have to stop the slide at

530
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 1: some point, and you were very big and stop to

531
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: steal too, So this ties in, uh nicely, packers chargers,

532
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: we can fig it up. Was Jets Patriots not a

533
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 1: measuring stick. I feel like we sold it that way

534
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 1: for the Jets, and from a psychological uh, sure that

535
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: was that was an exorcism that failed. Um. This is

536
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 1: a measuring stick because I don't think anyone expects the

537
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: Jets to win this game. UM, because the Bills are

538
00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 1: superior and just about every way the Bills are the

539
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,360
Speaker 1: best team in football. UM, I expect them to go there.

540
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 1: And even though the Jets defense has been very good

541
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: this year, Buffalo will move the ball and again it

542
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 1: will put pressure on the Jets offense to respond. So

543
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: I think what happens UM on the Jet side of it.

544
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: What makes it a measuring stick game for them is

545
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: do you watch your season now spiral uh, and you

546
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 1: look back to the Patriots game as the moment where

547
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 1: it began, and then you get beat by thirty points

548
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: in your building by the Bills, and then we're off

549
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: to the races of sadness again. I want to stay

550
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: optimistic here because I want I want to see. Listen,

551
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 1: it was a blood letting. There was a lot of

552
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: pain and uh Jets misery for the fan base that

553
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 1: poured out over Zach Wilson and his failures against New England. Greg,

554
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: you just watched the game, um, and we talked a

555
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 1: little bit before the show the third quarter and basically

556
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 1: when the game was in the pounds he was miserable.

557
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 1: But there were some positives also to take out of

558
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 1: the game. So you flush last week and you learn

559
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:02,959
Speaker 1: more about Wilson against the best team in football here, Yeah,

560
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 1: I'm less interested. I gotta be honest. When the Jets

561
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 1: offense has the ball, and maybe this is giving too much,

562
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 1: too much credit to the Bills that I think the

563
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 1: mismatch on that side of the ball is so great

564
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 1: that the Bills will win this game one way or another.

565
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 1: The pass rush stat that NBC put up there explain

566
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,959
Speaker 1: their entire season last week, and if you missed it,

567
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 1: it was that the Bills have the number one pressure

568
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 1: rate in the NFL and the number thirty two blitz

569
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: rate in the NFL. That's the dream that only are

570
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: you the best pass rushing team in the league, you

571
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: are by a lot because you never have to send

572
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: extra rushers. And Zack Wilson is fine when he doesn't

573
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: face pressure. The numbers would tell you he's good, that

574
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: he's better than average and almost every number when he

575
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: doesn't face pressure, yet when he does, he's the worst

576
00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 1: quarterback in the league. He's completely off the rails. And

577
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 1: there's just no reason to think this Jets offensive line

578
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: will protect him for four quarters against the Bills. And

579
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 1: I just can't see them scoring enough points to stay

580
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: competitive for four quarters. I'm with you, I don't. I

581
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: struggle to call it a measuring. I know you're coming

582
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: from damn, but it's just like the Bills have. What

583
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: you just mentioned about their past watch is exactly how

584
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: they unplugged the Rams in the first game of the season,

585
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 1: and essentially the Rams never recovered from that, and they

586
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: gave they basically gave a roadmap on how to deal

587
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: with Los Angeles and they're doing it every week. Because

588
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: we focus on their offense, but their defense has been

589
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: a defense that essentially sets you on fire and throws

590
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: you in the water and you drown. And I don't

591
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: know how the Jets right now can it possibly survive

592
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: unless you get Sauce Gardener your defensive stars somehow putting

593
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: the Bills into a really tough spot. I mean, the

594
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: defense metrically, forget screens you're gonna need. This is why

595
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: you hired Robert Salo. I'm not saying that that we

596
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 1: expect this to happen this this week now, but how

597
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 1: about even win or lose. How about it's a game

598
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:07,239
Speaker 1: where it's to twenty and the Jets say, you know what,

599
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 1: we've been able to do something against the Bills that

600
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: no other team has done. What I'm talking about, yeah

601
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: that I was gonna get to that, and you are

602
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: the fourth best team in your division. So they are again,

603
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 1: they're five and three. I think PFF had them graded

604
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: out right now. Is the number one defense in the league,

605
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 1: the number thirty two offense. That's out of whack, but

606
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: it does tell you that Robert Sali and his vision

607
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: in concert with Joe Douglas, it's working because remember this

608
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: time last year, the Jets were historically bad on defense.

609
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: So this is a fairly remarkable turnaround. And then I

610
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: want to say one other thing here because I'm gonna

611
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 1: try to be a little more optimistic this week. Um,

612
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: the Bills, we see that from you. We all acknowledge

613
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: are the best team in football. I'm looking at their schedule.

614
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: Uh since Week two they had the lost the two

615
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: point loss of the Dolphins. They beat the Ravens by three.

616
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: They destroyed the Steelers by thirty five. They beat the

617
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 1: Chiefs by war. They beat the bat Packers by ten,

618
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: and I know that ten there is a little misleading.

619
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: But at the same time, they're not running teams out

620
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: of the building week after week unless you stink or

621
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: you're the type. It's early in the season, um so

622
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 1: I don't think it's asking a lot for the Jets

623
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: team that's improving to be able to hang around in

624
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: this game, as long as the quarterback doesn't kill. I

625
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 1: would just say one thing, like that Packers game, you

626
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: finally got an outing where Josh Allen did not look

627
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 1: like the Josh Allen of this season. That he made mistakes,

628
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: there were turnovers, it didn't matter at all. It didn't

629
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 1: matter at all. So you're gonna need to cause chaos

630
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 1: and cause mistakes. It's the only way that the Bills

631
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 1: will tumble to any team. But I say, I think

632
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 1: they have that ability on defense to do that, and

633
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 1: they will sit to do it. We'll see you. You

634
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: look at the quarterbacks the Jets have played during this

635
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: defensive surge as well. I mean it's been a little spotty. Yeah,

636
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 1: you you started you know, asking about the Jets offense,

637
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: and I am not as interested that. I'm extremely interested

638
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: to watch the Jets defense versus this Bill's offense. I

639
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: mean that's a great matchup. Look at the teams that

640
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: the Bills have played this year. This is the best

641
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 1: defense that they've played. I think there are very real

642
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: questions you could ask about the Bill's offense. Not that

643
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: they're very not that they're not very good. They're obviously

644
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 1: a top five they're a great offense, but they play

645
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 1: against a great pass rush this week. Let's see how

646
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: that offensive line holds up. Are they gonna get the

647
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 1: ball out quickly? Uh? You have cornerbacks who can actually

648
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: try to cover Stefon Diggs and Mackenzie and this group,

649
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 1: and they're running game. Are they going to be patient

650
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: enough to run against the Jets? Because I think the

651
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 1: Jets will just beg them to run And they did

652
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: a nice job of that last week with Singletary and

653
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: they've added in the heam hind But are they gonna

654
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 1: be patient because I think the Jets will just ask

655
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: them to do that. I think this is a great matchup.

656
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 1: I think the Jets are actually better defensively than some

657
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: of the analytics say or the numbers, and the numbers

658
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: are good, but to me, they're up top five defense

659
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: against the top five offense, and to me, that that's

660
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: popcorn and that that's gonna be the bill is one

661
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 1: eleven straight when they're number one wide out. Stefon Diggs

662
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: has a hundred receiving yards um On Sunday Night, Josh

663
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 1: Allen connected on seven of seventeen attempts for a touchdown

664
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: to two picks when not targeting Diggs. If the Jets,

665
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: if Sauce can neutralize Digs, maybe you have a check.

666
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: He has allowed twenty six yards in man coverage all year.

667
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: That's best in the NFL. He is, yes, and that's

668
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 1: so that's why that's why I mentioned earlier, because if

669
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 1: he can remove your star player, then it's like it's

670
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: got to be Quentnin Williams, it's got to be Sauce Gardner,

671
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: it's got to be solid dudes doing this like and frankly,

672
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: I'm relieve we're not talking too much about Zach Wilson,

673
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: but he can't then kill them. When he gets put

674
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: in opportunities to succeed, you almost assume that's going to

675
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 1: happen in the defense is gonna have to overcome it.

676
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 1: He They won't if he seems like it seems like

677
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 1: it's there's predictably five or six totally chaotic plays from

678
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson a week, and why would this be the

679
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: week it doesn't happen against the best defensive football. They

680
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: need to like get like a I don't know, like

681
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 1: a dog pen or something that just prevents him from

682
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 1: running five yards backwards, Like you're not allowed that you'll

683
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 1: get electrocuted five yards. You can't stop going backwards. It's

684
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,760
Speaker 1: never worked. It worked like three times and it's failed.

685
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 1: A child leash like the connected to the waist of

686
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 1: the center. I don't know if it's Is it in

687
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: the rule books you can't do that? Like show me

688
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 1: in the rule book where you can't. You don't think

689
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: it's um specifically noted that you can't put a leash

690
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:34,439
Speaker 1: around the waist of a player. Let's move to the third. Okay,

691
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: I'm taking Seahawks Cardinals. There's only two late games this week.

692
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: Very interesting. I always love watching Gino live. Actually was

693
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 1: hoping to get Rams Bucks here, but I like this

694
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,800
Speaker 1: late slate. We can watch them both I'll be focused

695
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 1: in on the Seattle defense, which according to d v

696
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 1: o A, is number one in the league over the

697
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: last three weeks, after being thirtieth in the league for

698
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: the first four weeks. Now that number one. You know,

699
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 1: it's how only matchup dependent and it's only three weeks.

700
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 1: But it started against these Cardinals. Remember they only gave

701
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: up three points in that game. They've been more aggressive.

702
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 1: Nuoso has been terrific, Jordan Brooks making more plays, pretty

703
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 1: good in the secondary. They can cover you. I don't

704
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,479
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be great, but I do think there's

705
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 1: a vibe there. There's an excitement with all these young players.

706
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:25,800
Speaker 1: It's a young, frisky team, and it's it's not about losing. No.

707
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 1: I already locked up the Bucks. Although this would be

708
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,839
Speaker 1: a pretty good one. You can switch it. It's gonna

709
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,319
Speaker 1: the geno's all right, you're confusing. I don't want to

710
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 1: switch it. I don't like switching it. But this is

711
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: a stop the slide game for the Cardinals, by the way,

712
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 1: because measuring stick game for the Cardinals. But gone, okay,

713
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 1: it's so the Cardinals are three and five. If they

714
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,800
Speaker 1: go to three and six again, the NFC West you're buried.

715
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,319
Speaker 1: You're oh and three in the division, and you're like

716
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,919
Speaker 1: three losses behind the playoff spot in the NFC. It's

717
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 1: it's starting to get very late early for the car

718
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 1: knows they really need to win this. This would be

719
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 1: a season sweep for the Seahawks. I think the Cardinals

720
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 1: are the record the Seahawks. They have to slay well.

721
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 1: So to stop the Seahawks offense, only the Bills, Chiefs

722
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: and Eagles are scoring more points per game. But there's

723
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 1: a different surge that you really gotta stop with this. Yeah,

724
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 1: to stop the steel references, no surges, the Seahawks surge exactly.

725
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: It has been quite a surge. It's a lot of fun.

726
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 1: There's been an Arizona surge since to Andre Hopkins has

727
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 1: come back. They're scoring ten more points a game and

728
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray's stats across the border. Yeah. The Cardinals, man,

729
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:38,720
Speaker 1: you have to say they're a better offense with DeAndre.

730
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: Of course, that game against the Vikings was a clinic

731
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 1: in dysfunction. The final five possessions of the game. I

732
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:50,399
Speaker 1: wrote about this in the Powering, so I just want

733
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: to read it to you guys. A red zone miscommunication

734
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,360
Speaker 1: on third down that led to a shotgun snap fired

735
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 1: off Kyler Murray's left arm, a muff point, a muff

736
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 1: punt by Greg Dorch that led to Minnesota's final touchdown,

737
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: a Murray interception on a late throw over the middle,

738
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 1: a Murray passed short of the sticks on fourth and four,

739
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 1: a blindside block personal foul by you know, Benjamin that

740
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: doomed that frantic final drive in the closing seconds. This

741
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 1: is every single week with the Cardinals. They are poorly coach,

742
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 1: they don't execute. Yes, they're more frisky with the Andre Hopkins.

743
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 1: In fact, he's awesome. Uh, but the way they just

744
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 1: do not play smart football, it makes them impossible to watch. Like,

745
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 1: am I gonna watch Hard Knocks on the Cardinals and

746
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 1: see this team week after? From from that angle, I

747
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:40,799
Speaker 1: think you rather go watch a car crash. It's just

748
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 1: like enough with this team execute, be professional. Well that's

749
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 1: so I think they are the record because there that

750
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: stuff has been happening every single game. But from a

751
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: hard Knocks angle, don't you kind of want to watch

752
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 1: a car crash? And I'm just curious what this is?

753
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 1: And maybe they're not gonna go too deep into it,

754
00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 1: but I'm curious what the whole Cliff thing in the

755
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 1: Kyler Vibes behind the scenes with J. J. Watt will

756
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: be involved already said they've whacked a few things from

757
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:10,240
Speaker 1: the edit. Uh well, citing Cliff Kingsberry saying we've whacked

758
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,800
Speaker 1: some things when you know it would have gotten me canceled.

759
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, way to sell it, Cliff. Plus uh,

760
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 1: even that they're messing up this game, I mean, it

761
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 1: sounds stupid to just reduce it to quarterbacks, but at

762
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,840
Speaker 1: this point, Gino is the best quarterback in the division

763
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 1: this year. He certainly is, and his numbers against pressure

764
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: kind of the opposite of Zach Wilson, are fantastic, like

765
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 1: he has made on target throws when he's pressured, and

766
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 1: weirdly are Our great research department noted this. The Cardinals

767
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 1: defense is one of the worst defenses even when they

768
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 1: create pressure. So even when they're getting after the quarterback,

769
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:53,360
Speaker 1: their secondary's bad enough that they're just not finishing the plays.

770
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:56,319
Speaker 1: And so that's a big advantage for Gino throwing up

771
00:38:56,360 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: against pressure. He just looks down the Listen, Greggy, I've

772
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,399
Speaker 1: backed off this. He has been the best quarterback this year.

773
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 1: It's stunning to me, but it is what it is,

774
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 1: and he's been great and uh and now that the

775
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:13,919
Speaker 1: defense is jumped up and leveled up here, uh, why

776
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,879
Speaker 1: not the Seahawks. Um, I'm not saying they're gonna knock

777
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 1: off the Eagles in January, but damn Mike, they are

778
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: just humming on both sides of the ball. And what

779
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 1: else can you say? They have the running game going,

780
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 1: they got a quarterback playing well, they have two big

781
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,879
Speaker 1: time impact receivers, and now you have a defense that's

782
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 1: gone from the worst in the league too above average

783
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,840
Speaker 1: the last three weeks at least, It's like, what's not

784
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 1: to like? And it's a division game twice in three weeks.

785
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 1: I worry about this game. It's on the road, like

786
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 1: they've been on a roll like this would tell me

787
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 1: a lot if they can win this game, because usually

788
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 1: these division games they kind of even I mean, is

789
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: Arizona took place to go play, it's usually filled with

790
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 1: it's gonna be half Seahawks fans. That's a fair point.

791
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,320
Speaker 1: And yes they're on the road this week, but Seattle,

792
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 1: especially when the city believes into the team, that is

793
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 1: a great home field advantage like that that played a

794
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 1: role in the Giants loss. I thought last week they

795
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,800
Speaker 1: might have the best home field advantage in the league

796
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: because they have such a good home field advantage, and

797
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 1: now thinking about it, they traveled to Arizona, Well, they

798
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 1: traveled to l A. Well, you got the wine and

799
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 1: cheese crowd in Santa Clara is up and down, Like,

800
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 1: it's not a tough three stadiums to go to, Greggy,

801
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:30,800
Speaker 1: I'm taking Chargers Falcons. It's tough. Yeah, I want to

802
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 1: watch the Pats a little bit live, but I just

803
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 1: am more intrigued right now by this game. This is

804
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 1: a stop the slide game as well for these Chargers.

805
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 1: You lose to the Falcons in this spot and it

806
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:46,359
Speaker 1: goes from concerning coming off of by um to like

807
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:50,319
Speaker 1: four alarm fire keenan Allen might not play in this game. Dan,

808
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,799
Speaker 1: you were early on this corner pointing out it was

809
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,320
Speaker 1: not smart for them to play him before the bye,

810
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,840
Speaker 1: and now it looks like he aggravated that. It is

811
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 1: not after a bye when the coach comes out and says,

812
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 1: after the bye week, the leg is not responding to

813
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 1: how we expected it too. We are now edging into

814
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 1: territory Greg where he could be just done Smiths management.

815
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:13,799
Speaker 1: It could be one of those situations, right, and they

816
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 1: played him I think it was fourteen snaps in that

817
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:19,439
Speaker 1: game and he didn't do anything, and I'm sure they

818
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: really regret that decision. It's also kind of a litmus

819
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 1: test for Staley. I think good coaches make adjustments during

820
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 1: the bye week. Their big adjustment this offseason was supposed

821
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 1: to be we're gonna stop the run really well, We're

822
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 1: gonna get Sebastian Joe's today, and we're gonna get some

823
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 1: other pieces and Cleio Mack and we're gonna stop the run.

824
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 1: That started out well this season hasn't been great the

825
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:42,399
Speaker 1: last few weeks. And now here where do you gotta

826
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 1: go travel You gotta go face the Falcons who are

827
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 1: great at running the ball. So it's kind of a

828
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:49,400
Speaker 1: litmus test for what Staley is trying to accomplish this

829
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 1: season and what he did during the bio. And the

830
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 1: Charges are getting killed on early down runs especially, and

831
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 1: that is exactly where Atlanta has made their bread and butter.

832
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 1: They have twenty seven run of ten plus yards on

833
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:03,920
Speaker 1: early down six most in the NFL. That's what they are.

834
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: I mean, we get it like Marcus Mariot to throwing

835
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,360
Speaker 1: the ball is only a thing out of necessity in

836
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:11,919
Speaker 1: certain situations. And if they can run with my guy

837
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 1: Tyler L. Gier, Oh, yeah, that is here. Where are we?

838
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 1: Where are we with that process? Because here's where I'm at,

839
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 1: took with the process. I don't care about the process, right,

840
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 1: But that's unfortunately. That's nice for you if you want

841
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 1: to be a little corporate man and have your little processes.

842
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:30,359
Speaker 1: But it's it's simply not how I see it. The guy. Uh,

843
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 1: it is there is a process, and like I said,

844
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 1: I was cool about it. I got it down from

845
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 1: a six to eight week transit process on this uh

846
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 1: and review too, I think two to four. So maybe

847
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 1: as soon as next week we'll have an update. That

848
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 1: is a true corporate man again, I he is already

849
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:48,839
Speaker 1: my guy? Is that the my guy standing? Yeah? So

850
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 1: I don't care about the process. It's like, yeah, you

851
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:53,759
Speaker 1: gotta wait for that passport to come back in the mail.

852
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 1: You might not care about the passport process from you.

853
00:42:57,880 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 1: I've heard enough from you as well. That is a

854
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:02,360
Speaker 1: point though, that is that's how I feel. I don't like,

855
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,360
Speaker 1: I'm not excited about the process, but it is what

856
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:11,840
Speaker 1: it is. Sometimes that's life nonsensical. I don't remember what

857
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 1: we were talking about anymore. The Chargers in the falcon

858
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 1: stopping Atlanta's ground quarter. He might return this week. That

859
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:23,800
Speaker 1: would be huge addition for them. And yeah, the Chargers

860
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 1: are the thing that worries me about them. Their problems

861
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:29,839
Speaker 1: aren't consistent. They have some problems like the running game

862
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 1: early in the season, they kind of fix it, then

863
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 1: they have another problem to run defense, and then they

864
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,280
Speaker 1: have another problem. You're not getting the ball downfield. Mike Williams,

865
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,399
Speaker 1: by the way, also, UH is probably gonna miss this game.

866
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 1: So Mike Williams and Keenan Allen for that sounds I

867
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 1: picked the Falcons. I don't feel great about it. What

868
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 1: do you guys think? This is a tough I think

869
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 1: Atlanta could win this game. I mean, you're not getting

870
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:52,359
Speaker 1: the version of Justin Herbert that we thought this whole

871
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 1: season we would. Ever since that injury is numbers have

872
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:58,400
Speaker 1: gone down. Completion percentage. Uh, it's three straight games with

873
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 1: a sub a hundred passer rating, three straight games under

874
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 1: three hundred yards. You don't have Keenan Allens, you don't

875
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:06,280
Speaker 1: have Williams. You're asking Josh Palmer to essentially be your guy.

876
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 1: I don't like that a situation at all. Love the

877
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: Falcons in this game. I'm not in on this Chargers team.

878
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:13,840
Speaker 1: I think they I think Atlanta at home it is

879
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 1: a much better place coming off a win. And yeah,

880
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 1: the taking Keenan Allen out of the offense and hopefully

881
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:23,720
Speaker 1: with more time maybe because it's something I would imagine

882
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 1: the Charges are purposely keeping up under the radar. What

883
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,360
Speaker 1: is the health of um Justin Herbert who has not

884
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 1: been the same quarterback since his injury. But you take

885
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 1: Mike Williams, their big play threat out, and you take

886
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:38,399
Speaker 1: away Keenan Allen all season long matchup though it made

887
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 1: the Bengals look amazing, right, they had a lot of

888
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:48,759
Speaker 1: open receivers against Carolina, who's their defense. Yeah, I don't

889
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 1: know this would be a like our quarterback is better

890
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:54,360
Speaker 1: than yours type of time for Herbert to just show up.

891
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:57,359
Speaker 1: But we all love Herbert, but that guy hasn't been

892
00:44:57,360 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: around this year for the most part. The guy that

893
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:01,959
Speaker 1: just he's still everything around him and makes it better.

894
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:04,319
Speaker 1: There's the thing is what I find beguiling is that

895
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 1: there's still four or five things he does a game

896
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 1: where it's like he is here. It's just not drive

897
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:11,799
Speaker 1: after drive. And even in even in his rookie year

898
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:13,799
Speaker 1: when he had no offensive line in front of him,

899
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:16,440
Speaker 1: he was that guy. So I find it just confusing.

900
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:19,439
Speaker 1: And if they if the Chargers ever got bounced here,

901
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 1: you have to look at the two l A teams

902
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 1: and say they are the two of the most disappointing

903
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 1: teams in the league. Can't you see the Chargers don't

904
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,399
Speaker 1: they feel four and four? They feel like a four

905
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 1: and four team too. And I mean, but the Falcons

906
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 1: don't feel like a five and four as much as

907
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:35,319
Speaker 1: that because their defense I think that I expected to

908
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 1: start the season to be a tire fire. I think

909
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 1: is starting to show up, especially with a J. T

910
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:41,839
Speaker 1: Rell out. That's why they made that trade. They made

911
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:45,239
Speaker 1: a trade for Rashad Fenton will probably start immediately for them,

912
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:48,239
Speaker 1: but they're they're pretty thin there on. That said a

913
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 1: lot about that Carolina game a week ago, so they

914
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 1: had secondary were lucky Flames. All right, let's take a

915
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:58,759
Speaker 1: break and then the draft will roll out. All right,

916
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 1: we're back and it's time for the Sunday Dry presented

917
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: by Toyota, and it is my pick, and uh, I

918
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 1: will take the Miami Dolphins against the Chicago Bears at

919
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:15,839
Speaker 1: Soldier Field compelling, interesting, I'm in. I'm in on this

920
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 1: game on multiple levels. UM in on this game because

921
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:22,800
Speaker 1: the Dolphins are fascinating on offense at this point. To me, UM,

922
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:25,279
Speaker 1: the one thing I needed to see them do is

923
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:28,360
Speaker 1: go like stack some points against an opponent. Uh, And

924
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 1: they did exactly that against the Lions. UM, and they

925
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 1: looked kind of unstoppable at times in doing so. Yes,

926
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 1: it's the Lions, but guess what, the Bears aren't no

927
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:42,760
Speaker 1: great shakes anymore either, with uh there to Robert Quinn gone,

928
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:47,239
Speaker 1: Roquan Smith gone. Uh. So I want to see the

929
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 1: Dolphins continue to kind of build off this MOMENTUM. Bradley Chubb,

930
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 1: I don't know what his status is for this game.

931
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:58,759
Speaker 1: Jeff Wilson will see his status, yes, UM, Because they

932
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:02,520
Speaker 1: did sign imediately after the trade got done, and we

933
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:06,800
Speaker 1: speculated this as something that could or would happen. Fins

934
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 1: and Bradley Chubb agreed to a one and ten million

935
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 1: dollar extension. Incentives could boost it up to one eleven

936
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 1: point to five. H. Chubb is now tied to the

937
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:19,240
Speaker 1: Dolphins for six years and a hundred and nineteen millions,

938
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 1: So to kind of do it the right way. If

939
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna give up assets like that, you better keep

940
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:23,880
Speaker 1: the guy around if you believe in them, and you

941
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 1: better believe in them. So Chubb's in the building. Two

942
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:30,760
Speaker 1: is in the building. Tyreek Hill and T. J. Wattle

943
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:34,319
Speaker 1: are in the building. Uh, and we've been talking about

944
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 1: this Hill is on pace for two thousand, forty two yards.

945
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:40,879
Speaker 1: How about that Waddles on pace for fifteen forty five

946
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 1: and eleven. I want to see these this teams do

947
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:45,799
Speaker 1: some more things on offense, and that's it. I find,

948
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 1: you know, I would avoid this game myself in years past.

949
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:51,799
Speaker 1: The Bears on offense at least are finally watchable and intriguing.

950
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:54,960
Speaker 1: Their team building scenario is a little strange because I

951
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 1: think we complained all offseason you're not building around justin

952
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:01,320
Speaker 1: fields and instead like it's like you've got these pieces

953
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:03,799
Speaker 1: on defense that they sell away. But the last month

954
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 1: of Chicago's offense, like watching the way they run the ball,

955
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:09,799
Speaker 1: I think they can make almost any game competitive if

956
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:13,359
Speaker 1: they can handle that part of the game. The the

957
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 1: situation is their defense may just crumble. At this point,

958
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 1: you've sold your two best players and you're And I

959
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:21,000
Speaker 1: don't like the match up here because I think Raheem

960
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:22,840
Speaker 1: Monster right is where you could start with Miami and

961
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:24,439
Speaker 1: you could just run all over him and you can't

962
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:26,880
Speaker 1: stop the wide receivers and I and people want to

963
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:29,440
Speaker 1: like not give to a credit. It feels like a

964
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:31,399
Speaker 1: lot of this is happening because of two two. It's

965
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:33,840
Speaker 1: not just you plug in any quarterback in this situation

966
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:36,759
Speaker 1: unfolds from Miami, he's been I think like last week

967
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 1: was the best game he's had all season. I agree.

968
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 1: I think you can see the difference between him and

969
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 1: when Skyler Thompson and Teddy Bridgewater in Now they had

970
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 1: great yards per tempt and they moved the ball, but

971
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:50,320
Speaker 1: the ball comes out quicker. The r P O game

972
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 1: is better, and just that ten to fift difference of like,

973
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:58,200
Speaker 1: I'm going to make the decision a little faster and

974
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:00,400
Speaker 1: know what we're doing. I think he has a better Manda.

975
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:03,359
Speaker 1: The offense makes the whole thing go, and who cares.

976
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 1: You don't need to separate the quarterback in the system.

977
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 1: You can't set. You couldn't separate Bill Walls and Joe Montana.

978
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. Uh, They're gonna go up and down

979
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 1: the field. There was some buzz in Chicago last week

980
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:18,880
Speaker 1: of like, huh they traded Quinn and their effort on defense,

981
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 1: especially Roquan Smith who then got traded. But you know,

982
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:24,359
Speaker 1: just like suddenly, the defense like the floor fell out

983
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 1: from under them. We talked about heading into last you

984
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:29,839
Speaker 1: you mentioned that to your credit, and they just lost

985
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 1: two of their best players, and and the Cowboys just

986
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:34,680
Speaker 1: picked on all their young players in the secondary. You

987
00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 1: would think that the Dolphins will be able to do

988
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:39,160
Speaker 1: the same, and that puts puts Fields in a tough

989
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:41,080
Speaker 1: What are you telling your defense when you said, when

990
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 1: you basically get the veteran leader gone, Roquan Smith, your

991
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:47,879
Speaker 1: star gone that side of the balls, thinking you've sold

992
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 1: us down the river. Well they yeah, they're sticking dynamite

993
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 1: under the defense and starting over. But they do believe

994
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:56,400
Speaker 1: in justin fields as they should, the running game, as

995
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 1: you said, Mark, they should. Chase Claypool now is on

996
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:02,480
Speaker 1: this team with Mooney. So that's why it's not just

997
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:04,040
Speaker 1: that I want to see the Dolphins on offense. I

998
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 1: also want to see Chicago and see if they could

999
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:11,240
Speaker 1: graduate to frisky. Um, they're there. I'm there with them.

1000
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 1: What about the I mean you didn't feel that way

1001
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:15,400
Speaker 1: up to the Patriots kind Well, they also lost twelve

1002
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:18,200
Speaker 1: seven to the Washington the week before and then lost.

1003
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:20,880
Speaker 1: I would just say this, I like teams that like

1004
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 1: they rebranded who they were on on offense. That that's

1005
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:26,960
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. To be frisk. For me to be frisky,

1006
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,399
Speaker 1: it's not just that the young quarterback is making place

1007
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:32,400
Speaker 1: like the defense has to. It has to be maybe

1008
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:34,440
Speaker 1: one more give me a good game here and I'm in.

1009
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:37,759
Speaker 1: I was impressed that they made it a game in

1010
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:41,279
Speaker 1: Dallas after falling down early because that was fields. That

1011
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 1: was the offense. That was the thing you didn't think

1012
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:45,560
Speaker 1: that they could do. They've rushed for over two thirty

1013
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:48,040
Speaker 1: yards four times this year. You know, we have a

1014
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:51,279
Speaker 1: great research department, but sometimes you gotta go over to

1015
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:54,440
Speaker 1: the Rosenthal research department. Just got a little Pro Football

1016
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:59,080
Speaker 1: reference and break out the MacBook calculator. Here's justin fields

1017
00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:03,760
Speaker 1: that his last four games seven point nine yards for attempt,

1018
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy seven rushing yards, five passing touchdowns,

1019
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 1: two interceptions, fifteen sacks, got to mention the other side

1020
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:15,319
Speaker 1: of us. Too many still doing that and for what

1021
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:18,960
Speaker 1: it's worth, second in fantasy points among quarterbacks. And if

1022
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:21,799
Speaker 1: you go back to people back to like week two

1023
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:23,640
Speaker 1: or three, you could have made an argument for him

1024
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 1: as like the second worst quarterback in the league. Research

1025
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:32,480
Speaker 1: department grows. Can you imagine living with me? I mean

1026
00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:35,719
Speaker 1: that you could have Our media group is so excellent,

1027
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:38,279
Speaker 1: our research group that you could have just said, hey,

1028
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:41,279
Speaker 1: can you do some diggy on fields and they would

1029
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 1: have sent you back something probably really really chance and

1030
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 1: a deep basics throwing them under the bus part that

1031
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:51,080
Speaker 1: was maybe unnecessary. I was it was just four weeks

1032
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:53,239
Speaker 1: of data. It felt pretty easy to just kind of

1033
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 1: but you know it's you know, you got to add

1034
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:57,920
Speaker 1: the yards and then to divide it by the attempts.

1035
00:51:57,960 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 1: If I'm going to take a shot, is to your

1036
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:04,520
Speaker 1: credit producer six ft seven Drew Christensen knows research. He's

1037
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:09,200
Speaker 1: six nine now. Um yeah. But also the researcher notes

1038
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 1: has tyreek Kill and Jalen Waddle called they're called the

1039
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:15,160
Speaker 1: flash Brothers. Is that coming from the research group or

1040
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:17,640
Speaker 1: is that actually the nickname that's out there in the streets.

1041
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:20,040
Speaker 1: I don't. I hope not. That's not a good nickname.

1042
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:23,040
Speaker 1: We'll have to talk to Jeff Greenholtz about this, the

1043
00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:26,759
Speaker 1: leader of the research group. Maybe they're pulling their own

1044
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 1: pro football reference, so they're just adding nicknames left and right.

1045
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:34,239
Speaker 1: Greenholts that guy you ever talked to Jeff good work,

1046
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:38,879
Speaker 1: worked with him for about Tennis Monica area a few times.

1047
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 1: I want cameras following Greenholts around, um, like when he's

1048
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:44,840
Speaker 1: skiing and stuff. I bet he has a really fun

1049
00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:47,200
Speaker 1: like you know, I'll tell you a Dreenhold story real fast.

1050
00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 1: I was once at the you know, the skybar is

1051
00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:53,880
Speaker 1: laundrean hotel up in Hollywood. This is years ago. It

1052
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:56,440
Speaker 1: was daytime. I had the day off, typical like go

1053
00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 1: do your own thing, and went out and sat by

1054
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:02,480
Speaker 1: the pool of the drink greenholds. All right, that is

1055
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:06,880
Speaker 1: the Sunday Dry presented by Toyota. Let's move on me

1056
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:11,960
Speaker 1: and Greenholds sitting out by the Oh, there's no all

1057
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:14,319
Speaker 1: those things are true. Santa Monica watering whole. I was

1058
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:17,200
Speaker 1: with my my wife, Emily. He travels the town. Who

1059
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:21,400
Speaker 1: was there? Greenhold? Greenhold? Wait? So this is a show

1060
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:25,400
Speaker 1: that airs on NFL network. I haven't. I gotta admit

1061
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:27,480
Speaker 1: watched it this year where we already did it, we

1062
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:29,880
Speaker 1: lived it. We don't need to watch it now, Drew

1063
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:34,040
Speaker 1: Drew is back there. It's a former research, uh department.

1064
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:40,360
Speaker 1: Do you cut out this whole portion of the show

1065
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:43,640
Speaker 1: for the TV version or do you get two minutes

1066
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:47,560
Speaker 1: of Greenholtz talk on NFL network? Jud doesn't talk, okay,

1067
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:50,320
Speaker 1: but Justin can talk for Drew said, gotta wait and see.

1068
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:56,319
Speaker 1: I guess. I would guess chance, but it's not okay. Yeah,

1069
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:59,800
Speaker 1: I don't know how it works. Do they edit out?

1070
00:53:59,920 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 1: I would like be nice to lift? What are you

1071
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:07,719
Speaker 1: talking about? Highly complimentary? Oh? He gets the word. You're

1072
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 1: shining a light on him? How about this? He loves skiing.

1073
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:13,719
Speaker 1: He's very active man at the ski lodge at the

1074
00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:15,200
Speaker 1: end of a long day on the slopes where he's

1075
00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:17,440
Speaker 1: doing the diamonds. Who do you think sitting on the

1076
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:19,840
Speaker 1: leather couch in front of the fire with a warm

1077
00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:23,600
Speaker 1: sherry with women around. I know who it is. It's Greenholts, Greenholts.

1078
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:31,080
Speaker 1: Who else would it be? Nobody? We care? All right?

1079
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:35,759
Speaker 1: Who's up? Mark? I am patriots and I The great

1080
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:37,640
Speaker 1: thing about picking a Patriots game. Is that I'm going

1081
00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:40,480
Speaker 1: to have Greg talking about the Patriots game the entire

1082
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:44,400
Speaker 1: time that I'm week. Absolutely true. I don't think it

1083
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:46,800
Speaker 1: was one week, Greg, I don't watch him on Sundays.

1084
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:50,759
Speaker 1: If I don't have it was one decade. But but

1085
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:57,400
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick against a starter playing Sam Ellinger, playing Ellener

1086
00:54:57,400 --> 00:55:00,000
Speaker 1: playing his second game. I love this for the Patriots

1087
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:03,840
Speaker 1: in such a way that I scanned the horizon for

1088
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:06,919
Speaker 1: where I could go with this week's lock and I'm

1089
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:10,080
Speaker 1: going I'm going Greenholtz. No, I'm going right here. I'm

1090
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:14,040
Speaker 1: locking up Greggy's Patriots. I feel great about this. And

1091
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:17,080
Speaker 1: guess what, the Patriots will win this game because when

1092
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:22,880
Speaker 1: the Lock Brothers and Cecy get together, it is money

1093
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:26,160
Speaker 1: in the bank. Of course, the Patriots will roll for

1094
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:31,960
Speaker 1: numerous reasons. Yes, so I'm locking it up um Ellinger

1095
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:35,799
Speaker 1: on the road in New England in November. Raise your

1096
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:38,400
Speaker 1: hand if you know the last time the Patriots lost

1097
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:43,640
Speaker 1: a game in November two thousand three at home to

1098
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:46,880
Speaker 1: two thousand three. It's just a guess, but this is

1099
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:54,719
Speaker 1: the time of the year and I realized, can can

1100
00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:58,919
Speaker 1: you check the Patriots record in November? In the last

1101
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:00,759
Speaker 1: I don't know. Let's just say less in the A. T.

1102
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:04,440
Speaker 1: N Arrison's two thousand, Um, she supposed to do that

1103
00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:07,080
Speaker 1: like in five minutes. He's a great producer what he does.

1104
00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:11,359
Speaker 1: Watch But uh yeah. So I think that Ellinger, who

1105
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:15,640
Speaker 1: was okay in his debut um, is gonna get schemed

1106
00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:17,920
Speaker 1: up and confused in the same way Zack Wilson was.

1107
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:22,360
Speaker 1: I think the Patriots will run the football, and I

1108
00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:25,520
Speaker 1: think they're gonna get a nice three to ten wins

1109
00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:27,640
Speaker 1: something like that. I'm with you. And also what we

1110
00:56:27,719 --> 00:56:30,480
Speaker 1: thought the Colts would be, they aren't there twenty nine

1111
00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:35,160
Speaker 1: and rushing. Only two teams have more turnovers scoring. They

1112
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:38,120
Speaker 1: made a desperate quarterback switch to get away from Matt Ryan,

1113
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:41,799
Speaker 1: who was a turnover robot at this point. And I

1114
00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:44,759
Speaker 1: think you're gonna that one situation. You got a bad

1115
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:46,799
Speaker 1: mac Jones like he is not playing well. He's been

1116
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:49,279
Speaker 1: a disaster against the Blitz. Like mac Jones to me

1117
00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 1: is just a completely different guy than a year ago.

1118
00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:53,959
Speaker 1: So you're one hope if you're India, is that maybe

1119
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:56,840
Speaker 1: you keep this thing close against a rather dull offense

1120
00:56:57,160 --> 00:56:59,000
Speaker 1: and you got a shot at the end to do something.

1121
00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:02,279
Speaker 1: It's crazy the Um, the inventory must be out of

1122
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:05,359
Speaker 1: control for a turnover robot, like, who would even order

1123
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:08,440
Speaker 1: such a thing? This is a turnover robot game. I mean,

1124
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:11,440
Speaker 1: I gotta admit you you stumbled on something and maybe

1125
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:14,640
Speaker 1: I suppose you knew they have not lost that home.

1126
00:57:14,719 --> 00:57:20,120
Speaker 1: I went to Rosenthal Research Department. I hate this company.

1127
00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:22,400
Speaker 1: H They haven't lost that home since two thousand and

1128
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:25,800
Speaker 1: sixteen in November. It's pretty deep, and then before that

1129
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:27,640
Speaker 1: it was back to two thousand and eleven. It's only

1130
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 1: two since two and you are there a few elements missing? Yes,

1131
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:35,640
Speaker 1: but they've managed to somehow not lose at home with

1132
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:38,400
Speaker 1: Cam Newton and mac Jones last. Yeah, it's John Madden

1133
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:41,400
Speaker 1: lying research. But at the same time, I've lived it.

1134
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:43,320
Speaker 1: We've lived it. This is always the time of the

1135
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 1: year with the Patriots role. And uh, I just you

1136
00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:48,600
Speaker 1: got a grade there. You have the actual numbers. Yes, Uh.

1137
00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:51,600
Speaker 1: Former researcher Drew dug this up in about ten seconds.

1138
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 1: They are twenty four and eight in the month of

1139
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:57,520
Speaker 1: November since and thirteen and one at home. That's the

1140
00:57:57,520 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 1: full data. Enthal Research Grow. They give you a little

1141
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:06,440
Speaker 1: half half. I gave you the one loss. I even

1142
00:58:06,440 --> 00:58:13,880
Speaker 1: gave you it was the Seattle by the way, don't

1143
00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:21,000
Speaker 1: tell me it's this guy. This guy. We're doomed. Hello, gentlemen.

1144
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:25,080
Speaker 1: Before I get started with the law competition, I just

1145
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:26,840
Speaker 1: want to give a little shout out to all my

1146
00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:31,000
Speaker 1: fans out there. After the Monday Night recap, a lot

1147
00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:32,760
Speaker 1: of people reached out to me told me how much

1148
00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:35,680
Speaker 1: they love me. I love you too, Just say you know.

1149
00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:40,400
Speaker 1: Now onto this game. The Megalania apparently are not very

1150
00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:45,880
Speaker 1: good at I've huddled with my brothers. We're re energized,

1151
00:58:45,880 --> 00:58:48,240
Speaker 1: we're refocused, and we're ready to make a run to

1152
00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:52,440
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Just like these two teams. The problem is

1153
00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:55,040
Speaker 1: only one of them is a contender, and that's the

1154
00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:58,640
Speaker 1: New England Patriots. They take care of business, They blow

1155
00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:03,880
Speaker 1: out the Colts, walk it up. Okay, Well, can can

1156
00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:06,440
Speaker 1: I just say something all Nick has done for the

1157
00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:10,400
Speaker 1: last few weeks is talk about, oh, you guys just

1158
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:13,920
Speaker 1: gonna take the high point spread team. I'm playing fast

1159
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:15,880
Speaker 1: and loose. It's not about winning to me, I'm trying

1160
00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:17,960
Speaker 1: to have fun. And what does he do here? And

1161
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:21,080
Speaker 1: he takes the team with the highest point spread possible

1162
00:59:21,120 --> 00:59:23,520
Speaker 1: that you can take this week in the Patriots. So

1163
00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:27,640
Speaker 1: I get it, and I don't have a problem with that.

1164
00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:29,760
Speaker 1: I think you take the team you feel. But I

1165
00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:32,120
Speaker 1: haven't complained thes on Monday night. You might do the

1166
00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:34,600
Speaker 1: same thing, right, I haven't complained about it week after week.

1167
00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 1: I don't feel as confidently about this as you guys do. Okay,

1168
00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:42,920
Speaker 1: tell me the paths of victory for the cults? Uh

1169
00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:48,120
Speaker 1: push them around up front? On defense, Grover Stewart's playing well,

1170
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:52,520
Speaker 1: Buckner and Gockway. Mac Jones is starting to get into

1171
00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:55,400
Speaker 1: a territory where I'm getting concerned as a as a

1172
00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:57,880
Speaker 1: big mac Jones believer, because of what he showed a

1173
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:00,560
Speaker 1: year ago and at least showed in spur It's early.

1174
01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:02,200
Speaker 1: I thought the game against the Jets is one of

1175
01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:04,320
Speaker 1: his worst starts of his career. We could have been

1176
01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:06,480
Speaker 1: talking about him the way we're talking about Zack Wilson

1177
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:09,680
Speaker 1: right now. If a couple plays went differently. You mentioned

1178
01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:12,080
Speaker 1: the penalty, but there's also a fumble where he held

1179
01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 1: onto the ball forever, there was a dropped interception. There

1180
01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:17,919
Speaker 1: were a lot of bad decisions. They're suddenly running out

1181
01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:21,360
Speaker 1: r p O s and like they actually went decently well.

1182
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:23,560
Speaker 1: But your point about them winning in November because they

1183
01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:26,920
Speaker 1: figure things out. I don't feel like this offense is

1184
01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:29,280
Speaker 1: figuring things out. I feel like they have about ten

1185
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:32,200
Speaker 1: skill position players and they never know who they're gonna

1186
01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:35,360
Speaker 1: use in a certain week, and there's no momentum to it.

1187
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:39,000
Speaker 1: There's no like consistency. Mac Jones is playing much worse

1188
01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:41,800
Speaker 1: this year now, we can say than he did a

1189
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:43,800
Speaker 1: year ago, and the offensive line, which started out the

1190
01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:47,120
Speaker 1: year well, has not been great lately, especially at tackles.

1191
01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:49,600
Speaker 1: They are running the ball great. Romandre Stevenson is the

1192
01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:52,720
Speaker 1: best running back in this game, amazingly against Jonathan Taylor,

1193
01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:55,080
Speaker 1: like he is a beast. But I just don't feel

1194
01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:58,120
Speaker 1: like that confident about them against anyone. They feel very

1195
01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:00,640
Speaker 1: far and for, they feel very mid all the road.

1196
01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:03,360
Speaker 1: And yes, the Colts are worse, so I think they'll win,

1197
01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:05,400
Speaker 1: but I to see a Belichick game where he's gonna

1198
01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:08,200
Speaker 1: it's gonna be ugly. But I'm more confident in this

1199
01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:11,160
Speaker 1: lock than those locks. Yeah, I understand your your trepidation

1200
01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:15,080
Speaker 1: about Mac and uh the potential, the offensive line struggling here,

1201
01:01:15,120 --> 01:01:17,240
Speaker 1: but I don't think they need to score more than

1202
01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:20,040
Speaker 1: like seventeen points in this game. And the Jonathan Taylor,

1203
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:22,800
Speaker 1: by the way one again one of the great in

1204
01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:24,880
Speaker 1: a season with so many things that you kind of

1205
01:01:25,560 --> 01:01:29,400
Speaker 1: penciled in or even used um permanent marker in sept

1206
01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:33,960
Speaker 1: August and September. Not only are the Colts bad upfront

1207
01:01:34,040 --> 01:01:37,200
Speaker 1: on offense, the running game has went from averaging like

1208
01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:39,160
Speaker 1: five and a half yards of carried tail last year

1209
01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:42,000
Speaker 1: to being the worst run offense just about in the

1210
01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:45,240
Speaker 1: entire league. Like that has nothing. Of course, quarterback ties

1211
01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:47,400
Speaker 1: into everything, but that has been as big a reason

1212
01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:49,880
Speaker 1: as anything else. And oh, by the way, Taylor already

1213
01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:51,880
Speaker 1: miss time this year with a high ankle sprain. He

1214
01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:54,440
Speaker 1: hurt that ankle again last week, and you have the

1215
01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:57,600
Speaker 1: head coach uh saying things like, well, it's something we

1216
01:01:57,640 --> 01:01:59,640
Speaker 1: gotta manage, and we're gonna hold him out of practice.

1217
01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:01,760
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, we might be dealing with this thing

1218
01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:04,640
Speaker 1: where Taylor's never right. You just don't see where the

1219
01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:08,000
Speaker 1: points are coming for this team with you. Linger didn't

1220
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:12,080
Speaker 1: play well, but he didn't play. He showed a few things.

1221
01:02:12,280 --> 01:02:15,960
Speaker 1: Great cadence. You know, I'm always I have an annually

1222
01:02:16,120 --> 01:02:20,320
Speaker 1: updated the Cadence rankings. Very meaty throaty UH calling the plays.

1223
01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:23,240
Speaker 1: I like that, and uh, I think he had some

1224
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:30,600
Speaker 1: pretty good like cadence. Oh yeah, Andrew Luck. Andrew Luck.

1225
01:02:30,600 --> 01:02:32,880
Speaker 1: I mean you could hear Kobe Brissett has maybe the

1226
01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:34,880
Speaker 1: best cadence in the game. So it doesn't always connect

1227
01:02:34,920 --> 01:02:39,320
Speaker 1: to could be a cult, you know, on field quality.

1228
01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:43,840
Speaker 1: But I thought heel was comfortable under pressure, like good

1229
01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:46,200
Speaker 1: pocket movement. So they were like a couple of things.

1230
01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:48,000
Speaker 1: We're like, okay, kind to see it, all right, let's

1231
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:53,680
Speaker 1: snake it to Marken move absolutely Panthers Bengals because I

1232
01:02:53,760 --> 01:02:55,720
Speaker 1: did not get a chance to talk about what happened

1233
01:02:55,720 --> 01:02:57,840
Speaker 1: on Monday Night with you guys, Like I kind of

1234
01:02:57,880 --> 01:03:00,720
Speaker 1: watched that game thinking like, what on earth is going on?

1235
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:03,000
Speaker 1: I'm not on the Monday Night Show either, by the way,

1236
01:03:03,800 --> 01:03:05,760
Speaker 1: you know, well I would talk about as a human,

1237
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:08,120
Speaker 1: I would talk with you about it on Tuesday show.

1238
01:03:08,160 --> 01:03:14,960
Speaker 1: Took such an amazing job on that's a human. More

1239
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:18,200
Speaker 1: analysis ever needed to happen because Nick, what was Nail? Then?

1240
01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:21,040
Speaker 1: What was his state of affairs after that? Oh? He

1241
01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:23,840
Speaker 1: was fine. He says he's got a Bengals fan, and

1242
01:03:23,880 --> 01:03:26,000
Speaker 1: then I realized, well, actually he's always said that, so

1243
01:03:26,040 --> 01:03:28,120
Speaker 1: he's pretty consistent we're talking about the guy that said

1244
01:03:28,280 --> 01:03:32,000
Speaker 1: opened his last dispatch with all my fans out there. Oh,

1245
01:03:32,120 --> 01:03:35,400
Speaker 1: he was getting it. I love it. The fans were,

1246
01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:37,600
Speaker 1: they appreciated Nick out there, and it is great, Han,

1247
01:03:37,680 --> 01:03:39,440
Speaker 1: I heard a lot of a lot of good feedback.

1248
01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:43,880
Speaker 1: Getting big somehow than it already. By the way, it's

1249
01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:46,360
Speaker 1: a big head over at the Cincinnati Zoo. You know,

1250
01:03:46,520 --> 01:03:48,800
Speaker 1: there are conversations that Nick's not a part of where

1251
01:03:48,800 --> 01:03:51,720
Speaker 1: they're like, yeah, Nick, you know, I think this is

1252
01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:53,560
Speaker 1: starting to go to his head, Like you know, that's

1253
01:03:53,560 --> 01:03:56,200
Speaker 1: why we're not involved with the Picks, because he's making

1254
01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:58,720
Speaker 1: it about him and it's not about us. Just wait

1255
01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:01,080
Speaker 1: until the next family gathered and where this all explodes.

1256
01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:04,120
Speaker 1: Thanksgivings gonna go well. I think West would absolutely enjoy

1257
01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:09,240
Speaker 1: what the transformation, everything that's happening, including the fact that

1258
01:04:09,280 --> 01:04:11,600
Speaker 1: we keep track of the records, unlock it up, and

1259
01:04:11,760 --> 01:04:15,240
Speaker 1: Nick is a disaster in last week. Nick is three

1260
01:04:15,280 --> 01:04:18,440
Speaker 1: weeks away from a fedora and sunglasses inside. But it's

1261
01:04:18,440 --> 01:04:20,200
Speaker 1: a great power move because it has nothing that It's

1262
01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:24,520
Speaker 1: not a meritocracy on any level. He's just simply taken control. Alright,

1263
01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:28,600
Speaker 1: go ahead, Carolina. For me, it's like PJ, PJ. I

1264
01:04:28,680 --> 01:04:30,360
Speaker 1: want to see if this is this is gonna be

1265
01:04:30,360 --> 01:04:33,080
Speaker 1: a week to week thing with their offense, because they've

1266
01:04:33,120 --> 01:04:37,240
Speaker 1: been so much better post Matt Rule. To p J. Walker,

1267
01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:40,240
Speaker 1: like every these two games has thrown a series of

1268
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:43,120
Speaker 1: dimes and like I could see that, I could see

1269
01:04:43,120 --> 01:04:45,280
Speaker 1: this being sustainable. There's no way you put Baker Mayfield

1270
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:47,360
Speaker 1: back in there. They seemed he seemed to like d J.

1271
01:04:47,520 --> 01:04:50,520
Speaker 1: Moore and other guys, the weaponry around him finally producing

1272
01:04:50,560 --> 01:04:53,160
Speaker 1: with Walker and and for me, they're interesting. It's like

1273
01:04:53,200 --> 01:04:55,919
Speaker 1: I love teams like this that just completely change as

1274
01:04:55,920 --> 01:04:58,200
Speaker 1: the season goes along. I just can't make sense of

1275
01:04:58,240 --> 01:05:00,720
Speaker 1: what happened to Cincinnati in that Browns game. I mean,

1276
01:05:00,760 --> 01:05:03,080
Speaker 1: I think Cleveland finally, like with their defensive front, seem

1277
01:05:03,160 --> 01:05:06,040
Speaker 1: to completely confuse the Bengals over and over, which they

1278
01:05:06,040 --> 01:05:08,800
Speaker 1: had not done with any opponent all season. And you

1279
01:05:08,920 --> 01:05:11,680
Speaker 1: got this version of the offense that not unlike the

1280
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:14,120
Speaker 1: Rams or Bucks to some degree, cannot run the ball

1281
01:05:14,160 --> 01:05:17,000
Speaker 1: consistently right now. And if you're gonna put Joe Burrow

1282
01:05:17,040 --> 01:05:18,720
Speaker 1: in a the Bengals, you're gonna put Joe Burrow in

1283
01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:21,640
Speaker 1: a situation like that week to week there I changes

1284
01:05:21,640 --> 01:05:23,200
Speaker 1: where I think about them. A week ago we were saying,

1285
01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:26,080
Speaker 1: are they this fringe great team? I don't know right now.

1286
01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:30,120
Speaker 1: I thought they're great. Games were matchup based in part

1287
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:33,040
Speaker 1: of that game against Atlanta. You lose Chase, that's a

1288
01:05:33,120 --> 01:05:35,720
Speaker 1: huge loss, but you can't run the ball. The offensive

1289
01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:39,800
Speaker 1: line has never been better this year. I've never like

1290
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:42,040
Speaker 1: better than they were a year ago. Maybe, but they're

1291
01:05:42,080 --> 01:05:43,760
Speaker 1: still one of the worst four or five groups in

1292
01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:45,560
Speaker 1: the in the league. And even when they put up

1293
01:05:45,560 --> 01:05:47,760
Speaker 1: points like they were that bad last year too, they

1294
01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:50,040
Speaker 1: just overcame it some weeks. So they have great players,

1295
01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:52,640
Speaker 1: they don't have great answers. This is a tough matchup

1296
01:05:53,040 --> 01:05:57,520
Speaker 1: I think for them, and uh losing a Woozier and

1297
01:05:57,680 --> 01:06:00,400
Speaker 1: DJ Reader are just two huge injury ease and you

1298
01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:02,439
Speaker 1: get Reader back at some point, but that's their best

1299
01:06:02,480 --> 01:06:06,200
Speaker 1: run defender, that's their best cornerback. Wozier will not return.

1300
01:06:06,640 --> 01:06:08,479
Speaker 1: I think they win this game, but I don't see

1301
01:06:08,520 --> 01:06:10,560
Speaker 1: them as a seven and a half point favorite, like

1302
01:06:10,560 --> 01:06:12,440
Speaker 1: like they are not at all. I was, you know

1303
01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:15,200
Speaker 1: the whole thing. I like the Bengals. I love Borrow.

1304
01:06:15,280 --> 01:06:17,760
Speaker 1: As I talked about last week, it was such a

1305
01:06:17,880 --> 01:06:21,120
Speaker 1: just a bummer to the Jamaar Chase injury comes out

1306
01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:25,080
Speaker 1: I think Thursday, later in the afternoon, and then the

1307
01:06:25,120 --> 01:06:29,160
Speaker 1: Monday game comes in. Listen, like sometimes a team just

1308
01:06:29,200 --> 01:06:32,520
Speaker 1: kind of owns another team, and these Stefanski Browns owned

1309
01:06:32,560 --> 01:06:37,160
Speaker 1: the Zach Taylor Bengals. It was a primetime game, you know. Oh,

1310
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:39,720
Speaker 1: by the way, I know Cleveland struggled on defense, but

1311
01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:42,120
Speaker 1: they have Myles Garrett who was taking that game over.

1312
01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:44,360
Speaker 1: You know, these things happen, So I don't want to

1313
01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:46,840
Speaker 1: go into panic mode about the offense now. I think

1314
01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:48,920
Speaker 1: a lot of things played against them in a very

1315
01:06:48,920 --> 01:06:51,439
Speaker 1: short period of time. But to your point to Greg,

1316
01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:54,000
Speaker 1: it's like it's tough. Like they're now in a position

1317
01:06:54,040 --> 01:06:56,920
Speaker 1: where the offensive line is probably never gonna be a strength.

1318
01:06:56,920 --> 01:06:58,880
Speaker 1: It's probably gonna be a weakness all year, and now

1319
01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:02,440
Speaker 1: they have to find a way hivot and have a

1320
01:07:02,480 --> 01:07:06,760
Speaker 1: passing game that thrives without their best player. And oh,

1321
01:07:06,800 --> 01:07:09,440
Speaker 1: by the way, keep Joe Mixing involved in the running game,

1322
01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:11,840
Speaker 1: because if you are going to be a total, big

1323
01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:14,720
Speaker 1: time passing team, which Cincinnati is near the top of

1324
01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:17,280
Speaker 1: the league. They love to throw the ball. That's gonna

1325
01:07:17,320 --> 01:07:19,680
Speaker 1: work if you have the elite quarterback and then the

1326
01:07:19,720 --> 01:07:22,000
Speaker 1: guys on the outside making those plays. You take out

1327
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:24,880
Speaker 1: one of those guys, you get into a situation where

1328
01:07:25,040 --> 01:07:26,600
Speaker 1: you have you need a running game to get go

1329
01:07:26,680 --> 01:07:29,000
Speaker 1: and and it just really hasn't done that overall. I

1330
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:30,960
Speaker 1: think it's easy to forget that. The Bengals, you know,

1331
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:33,160
Speaker 1: they were five and four year ago, and so if

1332
01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:35,480
Speaker 1: you get a win here, we'll see what happens soon

1333
01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:37,360
Speaker 1: down the stretch. But down the stretch when they were

1334
01:07:37,440 --> 01:07:39,800
Speaker 1: dominating their own division, when they were blowing the doors

1335
01:07:39,840 --> 01:07:44,280
Speaker 1: off Pittsburgh utterly destroying the Ravens, there were big, gigantic

1336
01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:46,560
Speaker 1: joe mix and runs in those games. The ground game

1337
01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:48,760
Speaker 1: was working, it was real, it was punishing, and it

1338
01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:50,520
Speaker 1: was what they were down the stretch along with the

1339
01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:53,160
Speaker 1: big players through the air. And it's been completely absent

1340
01:07:53,240 --> 01:07:54,960
Speaker 1: this season outside of a couple of games where you

1341
01:07:54,960 --> 01:07:57,720
Speaker 1: thought maybe it's improving, but then it's not. They've lost

1342
01:07:57,800 --> 01:08:01,000
Speaker 1: every division opponent. They're oh in three and I know

1343
01:08:01,080 --> 01:08:03,360
Speaker 1: this is a non division game, and you gotta get it.

1344
01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:07,280
Speaker 1: You have to. J C. Horne returned for the Panthers

1345
01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:10,160
Speaker 1: last week, and I think that was a big piece

1346
01:08:10,200 --> 01:08:13,640
Speaker 1: for their defense. He's a true number one type of corner,

1347
01:08:13,680 --> 01:08:17,840
Speaker 1: and now in this game where there's only one number

1348
01:08:17,880 --> 01:08:20,120
Speaker 1: one type of receiver on the other team, like that

1349
01:08:20,160 --> 01:08:22,760
Speaker 1: makes a big difference, because I think they're okay in

1350
01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:26,719
Speaker 1: the secondary. I am curious though, if the Panthers playing

1351
01:08:26,760 --> 01:08:29,439
Speaker 1: so well the last two weeks was like a division blip.

1352
01:08:29,560 --> 01:08:31,639
Speaker 1: I do think division games are just different. The teams

1353
01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:34,479
Speaker 1: know each other in a different way, and sometimes it

1354
01:08:34,520 --> 01:08:38,000
Speaker 1: brings them together or to point. And the Panthers had

1355
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:40,320
Speaker 1: two division games in a row where they where they played. Well,

1356
01:08:40,400 --> 01:08:42,360
Speaker 1: let's see if it if it carries. I have not

1357
01:08:42,479 --> 01:08:45,240
Speaker 1: gotten over that P. J. Walker play being for not

1358
01:08:45,840 --> 01:08:48,200
Speaker 1: I mean that was it was one of the great

1359
01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:51,160
Speaker 1: football players of our lifetime. And you're like laughing at it.

1360
01:08:51,479 --> 01:08:53,640
Speaker 1: You're laughing at it, but as a pure play, it

1361
01:08:53,720 --> 01:08:58,640
Speaker 1: truly was one of the great football plays of our lifetime. Uh.

1362
01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:01,439
Speaker 1: First of all, next and Stats has been measuring like

1363
01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:03,599
Speaker 1: in air yards per completely you know, an are yard.

1364
01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:07,000
Speaker 1: That was the longest throw completed since Next Gen Stats

1365
01:09:07,280 --> 01:09:11,519
Speaker 1: has has measured it. He's rolling to his They're down

1366
01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:14,640
Speaker 1: six to win the game with a touchdown on the roll,

1367
01:09:14,680 --> 01:09:17,240
Speaker 1: and there was nothing lucky about it. Mahomes tweeted it out.

1368
01:09:17,240 --> 01:09:19,839
Speaker 1: He said, that's the throw of the year, no question,

1369
01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:22,240
Speaker 1: Like if Mahomes or Allen would make that play would

1370
01:09:22,280 --> 01:09:24,640
Speaker 1: be like, I can't believe they did that, and it

1371
01:09:24,720 --> 01:09:26,479
Speaker 1: was to win a game down six and then they

1372
01:09:26,520 --> 01:09:31,200
Speaker 1: lose the game. It just feels he's flushed out, he steps,

1373
01:09:31,640 --> 01:09:34,760
Speaker 1: he gathers himself, he makes a perfect strike, the ball

1374
01:09:34,840 --> 01:09:37,800
Speaker 1: just keeps going. The ball just keeps going. I just

1375
01:09:38,040 --> 01:09:40,920
Speaker 1: like watching this and seeing the greatest play I've ever

1376
01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:43,040
Speaker 1: seen in the history of pro football. I'm saying it's

1377
01:09:43,080 --> 01:09:44,680
Speaker 1: one of the great To win a game like that,

1378
01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:47,479
Speaker 1: didn't I know, But that was the kicker. That's why.

1379
01:09:48,200 --> 01:09:51,400
Speaker 1: That's why I haven't gotten over it. Dan Kenny O'Brien

1380
01:09:51,479 --> 01:09:56,439
Speaker 1: to Wesley Walker and over the Dolphins. Can they get

1381
01:09:56,479 --> 01:09:58,760
Speaker 1: over it? Maybe they can't. I don't think he's made

1382
01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:01,839
Speaker 1: a string of huge throw That's what I'm just wondering,

1383
01:10:01,880 --> 01:10:03,599
Speaker 1: Like who he is, Like, are we gonna see two

1384
01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:05,360
Speaker 1: weeks from now? This this is who? This is? A

1385
01:10:05,439 --> 01:10:08,040
Speaker 1: Geno Smith Part two Steve. I don't think so, just

1386
01:10:08,080 --> 01:10:11,080
Speaker 1: based on what we've seen from him previously, and last

1387
01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:12,479
Speaker 1: week was a little more up and down there were

1388
01:10:12,520 --> 01:10:14,680
Speaker 1: a lot of open receivers here. He was shaking early on,

1389
01:10:14,720 --> 01:10:17,080
Speaker 1: but then started making play well. Steve Wilkes, their coach,

1390
01:10:17,160 --> 01:10:20,120
Speaker 1: did not promise like before he had been saying like

1391
01:10:20,160 --> 01:10:22,960
Speaker 1: he's our quarterback. He said he basically this week. He's

1392
01:10:22,960 --> 01:10:25,040
Speaker 1: our quarterback this week. So he's leaving it open to

1393
01:10:25,080 --> 01:10:28,479
Speaker 1: go to Mayfield or Darnald. That sounds great playing Darnald,

1394
01:10:28,479 --> 01:10:32,439
Speaker 1: but I don't really a warning to Cincinnati. Win this game,

1395
01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:35,800
Speaker 1: go to your by at five and four, take care

1396
01:10:35,840 --> 01:10:38,080
Speaker 1: of business at Pittsburgh the next week. T J. Well

1397
01:10:38,120 --> 01:10:40,439
Speaker 1: will probably be back by then because then you get

1398
01:10:40,479 --> 01:10:43,719
Speaker 1: at Tennessee home, Kansas City home Cleveland, who you can't

1399
01:10:43,720 --> 01:10:47,000
Speaker 1: beat at Tampa at New England. So you have a

1400
01:10:47,120 --> 01:10:49,040
Speaker 1: you have a soft little pocket, your schedule, take care

1401
01:10:49,040 --> 01:10:50,960
Speaker 1: of business. All right, let's take a break and we

1402
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:58,200
Speaker 1: will finish the draft. All right, we're back. Uh serves up.

1403
01:10:59,320 --> 01:11:01,280
Speaker 1: I like this good value late in the draft. The

1404
01:11:01,320 --> 01:11:04,679
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions. It's kind of getting

1405
01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:09,160
Speaker 1: to now ur never territory for the Packers. Um stop

1406
01:11:09,200 --> 01:11:12,640
Speaker 1: the slide. Stop the slide right here. Look at the

1407
01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:14,839
Speaker 1: team they're playing. They they are on a slide of themselves.

1408
01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:17,760
Speaker 1: Um and and you could say, well, yeah, so it's

1409
01:11:17,800 --> 01:11:21,000
Speaker 1: the boring ass packers this year, which they have been

1410
01:11:21,080 --> 01:11:23,880
Speaker 1: for the most part, against the Lions, who stink just

1411
01:11:23,960 --> 01:11:26,320
Speaker 1: like they always do. It seems even though we're all

1412
01:11:26,320 --> 01:11:28,639
Speaker 1: pumped up going to the season. But there's something here

1413
01:11:28,680 --> 01:11:31,639
Speaker 1: because um, I it would tell me a lot if

1414
01:11:31,680 --> 01:11:35,240
Speaker 1: Green Bay goes to Detroit where everyone is having the

1415
01:11:35,280 --> 01:11:38,160
Speaker 1: time of their lives on offense and isn't able to

1416
01:11:38,200 --> 01:11:41,559
Speaker 1: move the ball uh with ease and and put up

1417
01:11:42,479 --> 01:11:46,000
Speaker 1: to thirty five to even forty points. Aaron Rodgers, if

1418
01:11:46,040 --> 01:11:47,960
Speaker 1: you are who we know you are, which is one

1419
01:11:47,960 --> 01:11:50,519
Speaker 1: of the greats of all time, you gotta go slaughter

1420
01:11:50,720 --> 01:11:54,000
Speaker 1: Detroit here and get some positive momentum on your team.

1421
01:11:54,040 --> 01:11:56,120
Speaker 1: And I know it's not that easy, but you know what,

1422
01:11:56,240 --> 01:11:59,599
Speaker 1: it's also not that complicated. Detroit is bad in every

1423
01:11:59,640 --> 01:12:04,200
Speaker 1: aspect of their defense. You have an excellent running game. Still, um,

1424
01:12:04,280 --> 01:12:06,799
Speaker 1: you should be able to get chunk yardage on the ground.

1425
01:12:07,040 --> 01:12:09,240
Speaker 1: You could get some easy yardage picking up yardage in

1426
01:12:09,280 --> 01:12:11,559
Speaker 1: the screen game and the short passing game, hit on

1427
01:12:11,600 --> 01:12:14,880
Speaker 1: a couple of plays and blow out the Lions or else.

1428
01:12:15,160 --> 01:12:17,160
Speaker 1: I mean, from that angle, isn't it's a measuring stick

1429
01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:20,200
Speaker 1: game as well. Absolutely, it really is. I mean it's

1430
01:12:20,200 --> 01:12:22,479
Speaker 1: like if you can't do it here, where can you

1431
01:12:22,520 --> 01:12:24,920
Speaker 1: do it? But I don't care what research says that

1432
01:12:25,040 --> 01:12:28,960
Speaker 1: everything you just because they gets the Lions that stick

1433
01:12:29,080 --> 01:12:35,080
Speaker 1: is like everyone has gotten their offense right against Detroit.

1434
01:12:35,400 --> 01:12:39,640
Speaker 1: So if Green Bay squirts out one terrible games, got

1435
01:12:39,680 --> 01:12:42,880
Speaker 1: you measuring stick right here there, you go ahead. I

1436
01:12:42,880 --> 01:12:44,800
Speaker 1: mean I just for me, it's like, I kind of

1437
01:12:44,800 --> 01:12:47,559
Speaker 1: like what they did against on Sunday night where they

1438
01:12:47,560 --> 01:12:49,160
Speaker 1: were ran the ball so well too. It's like, do

1439
01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:52,080
Speaker 1: you maybe just abandoned the past game on some level

1440
01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:57,240
Speaker 1: like the Bears have done and start just other teams? Sure,

1441
01:12:57,360 --> 01:13:00,320
Speaker 1: but against the Lions, maybe use this game to find

1442
01:13:00,320 --> 01:13:02,840
Speaker 1: out some things about your passing game as well. Just

1443
01:13:03,120 --> 01:13:05,680
Speaker 1: get things figured out green Bay. I don't know what

1444
01:13:05,720 --> 01:13:07,679
Speaker 1: the morris there to figure out. I mean, the Lions

1445
01:13:07,720 --> 01:13:10,840
Speaker 1: defense is equally bad at everything. I mean, they're a

1446
01:13:10,840 --> 01:13:13,280
Speaker 1: bad pass rush, but they're bad at stopping the run.

1447
01:13:13,320 --> 01:13:16,559
Speaker 1: So I think their foundation in Green Bay is going

1448
01:13:16,600 --> 01:13:18,040
Speaker 1: to be the running game. So I'm with you. I

1449
01:13:18,040 --> 01:13:20,720
Speaker 1: think going d do it and you're gonna you're gonna

1450
01:13:20,760 --> 01:13:22,200
Speaker 1: be It's not like you're not gonna be throwing the

1451
01:13:22,200 --> 01:13:24,360
Speaker 1: ball too. I just think it's their formula down the stretch.

1452
01:13:24,400 --> 01:13:27,679
Speaker 1: I mean, after this game, I don't think the Packers

1453
01:13:27,720 --> 01:13:30,040
Speaker 1: are gonna win seven games the season, tops, But they

1454
01:13:30,040 --> 01:13:32,400
Speaker 1: have the Cowboys, Titans, and Eagles. You don't think they're

1455
01:13:32,400 --> 01:13:36,120
Speaker 1: gonna win seven games this season. I don't see them

1456
01:13:36,120 --> 01:13:37,320
Speaker 1: as a good team at all, and I see them

1457
01:13:37,320 --> 01:13:41,680
Speaker 1: getting work. Well, they're not gonna beat the Cowboys, They're

1458
01:13:41,680 --> 01:13:43,479
Speaker 1: not gonna beat the Titans. They're not gonna beat the Eagles.

1459
01:13:43,479 --> 01:13:45,240
Speaker 1: They have the Bears after that, then you've got the Rams.

1460
01:13:46,439 --> 01:13:49,240
Speaker 1: The question is do they find a way with the

1461
01:13:49,320 --> 01:13:52,840
Speaker 1: coaching staff and the quarterback and the defense. Do they

1462
01:13:52,920 --> 01:13:55,960
Speaker 1: repair these things that have made them such a mediocre team.

1463
01:13:56,280 --> 01:13:59,280
Speaker 1: I I still feel like they can um and there

1464
01:13:59,280 --> 01:14:02,040
Speaker 1: are things. The fact that they average eighteen point one

1465
01:14:02,120 --> 01:14:05,000
Speaker 1: points per game is stunning to me. A hundred and

1466
01:14:05,080 --> 01:14:07,920
Speaker 1: forty five points eight weeks, the fewest by a team

1467
01:14:07,920 --> 01:14:11,000
Speaker 1: with a reigning m v P. Ever, so this is

1468
01:14:11,040 --> 01:14:14,360
Speaker 1: like against by very strange. But Rogers also has forty

1469
01:14:14,400 --> 01:14:17,400
Speaker 1: touchdowns in one pick against the NFC North, which has

1470
01:14:17,439 --> 01:14:19,679
Speaker 1: been a soft division for a couple of years since

1471
01:14:19,720 --> 01:14:22,559
Speaker 1: two thousand, twenty. I think we get a huge Rogers

1472
01:14:22,600 --> 01:14:25,559
Speaker 1: game in this game, and if they don't, I'd be very,

1473
01:14:25,680 --> 01:14:28,040
Speaker 1: very nervous. I think the Bucks the Bucks are like

1474
01:14:28,080 --> 01:14:30,080
Speaker 1: a good team that looked like a bad team. The

1475
01:14:30,160 --> 01:14:31,960
Speaker 1: Rams just look like a bad team. The Packers are

1476
01:14:32,000 --> 01:14:36,320
Speaker 1: somewhere in between because they have great players on their defense,

1477
01:14:36,360 --> 01:14:39,360
Speaker 1: and it's the defense that I'm most concerned about. I

1478
01:14:39,400 --> 01:14:43,040
Speaker 1: think the offense is gonna be okay, and it's been okay.

1479
01:14:43,080 --> 01:14:45,120
Speaker 1: It's not as bad. I don't think as it's getting

1480
01:14:45,120 --> 01:14:47,320
Speaker 1: credit for it because people are ignoring that the defense

1481
01:14:47,360 --> 01:14:49,120
Speaker 1: has been a problem. But they have good players and

1482
01:14:49,479 --> 01:14:51,160
Speaker 1: that is the type of team that does turn around.

1483
01:14:51,160 --> 01:14:53,519
Speaker 1: I'm concerned about their injury report. Box tr is still

1484
01:14:53,520 --> 01:14:57,679
Speaker 1: not practicing, Toandre Campbell's out, Elton Jenkins is out of practice.

1485
01:14:58,360 --> 01:15:01,680
Speaker 1: DeAndre Siff was back at this on Thursday. But pensil

1486
01:15:01,720 --> 01:15:04,080
Speaker 1: they're great tackle and that's really the base of their team.

1487
01:15:04,120 --> 01:15:06,800
Speaker 1: Their offensive line has been out with a personal issue

1488
01:15:06,800 --> 01:15:09,559
Speaker 1: and it's unclear come back to us. Yes, they have

1489
01:15:09,600 --> 01:15:11,280
Speaker 1: to go five and four to have eight wins. I

1490
01:15:11,320 --> 01:15:15,519
Speaker 1: don't think what I'm saying is that crazy bad. This

1491
01:15:16,600 --> 01:15:18,600
Speaker 1: version of the Packers because we're saying, let's you know,

1492
01:15:18,640 --> 01:15:20,680
Speaker 1: it's not September eight here where there's a lot of

1493
01:15:20,760 --> 01:15:22,599
Speaker 1: room to transform. This is who they are. I mean,

1494
01:15:22,640 --> 01:15:25,400
Speaker 1: maybe these maybe the white outs all suddenly pick up

1495
01:15:25,400 --> 01:15:27,880
Speaker 1: the offense. And Aaron Rodgers is like, no one, you

1496
01:15:27,960 --> 01:15:29,559
Speaker 1: do not get the memo of the season doesn't start

1497
01:15:29,600 --> 01:15:33,479
Speaker 1: until Thanksgiving. Yeah, don't we get the pack twice? Or

1498
01:15:33,560 --> 01:15:36,000
Speaker 1: if they're three and they're three and seven and Thanksgiving

1499
01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:38,160
Speaker 1: their season was definitely won't start. Well, here's the thing,

1500
01:15:38,240 --> 01:15:41,960
Speaker 1: this is the Lions, uh super Bowl at least until Thanksgiving.

1501
01:15:42,240 --> 01:15:45,400
Speaker 1: If you could just get if you can just get

1502
01:15:45,439 --> 01:15:48,080
Speaker 1: a home win over the Packers, that's gonna feel great.

1503
01:15:48,200 --> 01:15:50,040
Speaker 1: I picked them to win this week. And the picks.

1504
01:15:50,200 --> 01:15:52,080
Speaker 1: I've decided this is the week where I just make

1505
01:15:52,120 --> 01:15:55,720
Speaker 1: a bunch of crazy picks and ruin my record year.

1506
01:15:56,439 --> 01:15:59,439
Speaker 1: The twitter pop from the team the underdog that wins

1507
01:15:59,479 --> 01:16:02,880
Speaker 1: the game, like the Jets market and the Giants that

1508
01:16:04,640 --> 01:16:06,360
Speaker 1: I don't I'm I'm talking out of all sides of

1509
01:16:06,400 --> 01:16:08,559
Speaker 1: my because seven wins that shocked me. But then I again,

1510
01:16:08,600 --> 01:16:11,880
Speaker 1: I picked against the Packers this week, and uh, I

1511
01:16:11,880 --> 01:16:14,280
Speaker 1: don't really, I just don't. I don't like the vibe

1512
01:16:14,680 --> 01:16:16,680
Speaker 1: like the fans are trying to convince themselves. It was

1513
01:16:16,720 --> 01:16:20,519
Speaker 1: like a moral victory last week. This is a game

1514
01:16:20,560 --> 01:16:22,600
Speaker 1: where Rodgers might be able to hold the ball a

1515
01:16:22,640 --> 01:16:24,920
Speaker 1: little bit. But I think the Lion's offensive line can

1516
01:16:24,920 --> 01:16:27,960
Speaker 1: bully this Packers defense, and I think it'll go up

1517
01:16:27,960 --> 01:16:29,960
Speaker 1: and down. I think it'll be tread tread lightly on

1518
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:32,639
Speaker 1: the Packers fan base. They've not been through what they're

1519
01:16:32,680 --> 01:16:34,760
Speaker 1: seeing right now in a long, long, long time. And

1520
01:16:34,880 --> 01:16:38,640
Speaker 1: Campbell Fire defensive backs coach Aubrey Pleasant, which is a

1521
01:16:38,680 --> 01:16:41,639
Speaker 1: classic liver poll when you don't really know what else

1522
01:16:41,680 --> 01:16:44,000
Speaker 1: to do. T J. Hockinson also also no longer The

1523
01:16:44,040 --> 01:16:48,320
Speaker 1: team traded to the Vikings at the deadline. All right, Greggy,

1524
01:16:48,560 --> 01:16:51,400
Speaker 1: it ends with double picks for you, buddy, Okay, Well

1525
01:16:51,479 --> 01:16:55,519
Speaker 1: who's he gonna take? I guess it doesn't really matter,

1526
01:16:55,640 --> 01:16:59,519
Speaker 1: does it? But I'll take the Vikings. Doesn't matter. The

1527
01:16:59,600 --> 01:17:03,920
Speaker 1: command Ander you called them the commandos. That was just,

1528
01:17:06,400 --> 01:17:09,879
Speaker 1: you know, I think it was from Beaumanti Jones podcast.

1529
01:17:09,880 --> 01:17:11,240
Speaker 1: They were just calling him that, and I kind of

1530
01:17:11,280 --> 01:17:14,080
Speaker 1: liked it. It's the same podcast. It's just it's fun

1531
01:17:14,080 --> 01:17:16,920
Speaker 1: a lot. You know. I don't like having my own

1532
01:17:17,040 --> 01:17:20,720
Speaker 1: thoughts in my head because then they gets troubling, you know,

1533
01:17:20,840 --> 01:17:23,680
Speaker 1: it gets I understand that while I'm around, especially, you're

1534
01:17:23,680 --> 01:17:26,360
Speaker 1: not repurposing any thoughts from those podcasts on our Now

1535
01:17:26,400 --> 01:17:28,519
Speaker 1: that's one of the reasons I like their show. They

1536
01:17:28,560 --> 01:17:31,200
Speaker 1: don't really dive into the football exits notes more like

1537
01:17:31,640 --> 01:17:34,920
Speaker 1: like Charger pictures issues like what's been happening with the

1538
01:17:34,920 --> 01:17:40,400
Speaker 1: Commanders this week? Which we should mention the report this week,

1539
01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:45,640
Speaker 1: Well it's all on dot com, Uh that the Commander's

1540
01:17:46,000 --> 01:17:51,160
Speaker 1: ownership is looking uh in exploring all possible options, uh,

1541
01:17:51,200 --> 01:17:54,000
Speaker 1: in terms of selling the team. Now that that could

1542
01:17:54,000 --> 01:17:57,960
Speaker 1: be minority ownership, which you know he had bought out

1543
01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:01,000
Speaker 1: a lot of the minority owners last year, or it

1544
01:18:01,040 --> 01:18:04,320
Speaker 1: could just be ownership in general. But I will say

1545
01:18:04,320 --> 01:18:07,519
Speaker 1: I had a lot of Commanders fans in the Pentagon,

1546
01:18:08,080 --> 01:18:10,960
Speaker 1: uh that I'm friends with or like two. I shouldn't

1547
01:18:10,960 --> 01:18:17,639
Speaker 1: say a lot, but I have to. And I think

1548
01:18:17,640 --> 01:18:20,559
Speaker 1: we're learning a lot about Greg today. They could not

1549
01:18:20,680 --> 01:18:25,400
Speaker 1: have been more excited about what is happening. It's been

1550
01:18:25,439 --> 01:18:29,200
Speaker 1: a topic we've broached on this show for twenty years,

1551
01:18:29,680 --> 01:18:32,120
Speaker 1: and the fact that it really looks like this could

1552
01:18:32,120 --> 01:18:35,160
Speaker 1: be happening that Dan Snyder might sell is exciting. And

1553
01:18:35,200 --> 01:18:37,479
Speaker 1: then later on the same day where we find out

1554
01:18:37,479 --> 01:18:39,400
Speaker 1: that he hired a bank to explore a sale of

1555
01:18:39,439 --> 01:18:43,360
Speaker 1: the Commanders. We we found out um through ESPN that

1556
01:18:43,479 --> 01:18:46,519
Speaker 1: the Eastern District of Virginia has opened up a criminal

1557
01:18:46,560 --> 01:18:51,360
Speaker 1: investigation to allegations and Commanders engaged in financial impropriety, so

1558
01:18:51,439 --> 01:18:55,040
Speaker 1: that maybe informs some of this sale news either way, Uh,

1559
01:18:55,880 --> 01:18:59,800
Speaker 1: towards a tipping point here, I mean, I can't really remember. Yeah,

1560
01:18:59,800 --> 01:19:03,559
Speaker 1: I can't remember. A ground swell of like fans, people

1561
01:19:03,640 --> 01:19:05,920
Speaker 1: from other teams, other owners sort of saying we've got

1562
01:19:05,960 --> 01:19:08,360
Speaker 1: to make a major change here. Ers. He's got to

1563
01:19:08,400 --> 01:19:10,280
Speaker 1: be remembered for this. I gotta say it was a

1564
01:19:10,320 --> 01:19:13,040
Speaker 1: pretty I loved that when he did it, and I

1565
01:19:13,080 --> 01:19:15,880
Speaker 1: love it even more right now because it's like he

1566
01:19:15,920 --> 01:19:19,120
Speaker 1: will be remembered for being whether it's fair not, he'll

1567
01:19:19,160 --> 01:19:21,599
Speaker 1: kind of be remembered as the guy who helped push

1568
01:19:21,800 --> 01:19:24,600
Speaker 1: push this thing over the tipping point relatively fair and

1569
01:19:24,680 --> 01:19:27,680
Speaker 1: he knows guitar. I mean, I like j mersa, give

1570
01:19:27,720 --> 01:19:29,960
Speaker 1: me all that day, give me all you got. He

1571
01:19:30,880 --> 01:19:34,400
Speaker 1: bought the original scroll of On the Road, or at

1572
01:19:34,479 --> 01:19:36,559
Speaker 1: least at least owned it for a time and then

1573
01:19:36,600 --> 01:19:39,240
Speaker 1: I think sold it. He did not find it. That

1574
01:19:39,280 --> 01:19:41,840
Speaker 1: would that would be the next level move in the

1575
01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:45,080
Speaker 1: literature world. Commanders fans deserve a new stadium. They've been

1576
01:19:45,120 --> 01:19:49,080
Speaker 1: trying to do that. He's probably a huge fan of

1577
01:19:49,080 --> 01:19:51,400
Speaker 1: Little Women if he's experienced the product. I mean, it

1578
01:19:51,479 --> 01:19:53,000
Speaker 1: just says if you read the book, you could read

1579
01:19:53,040 --> 01:19:55,320
Speaker 1: the book and find out how good the seventh grade.

1580
01:19:55,920 --> 01:19:59,280
Speaker 1: But that was a look, yeah, the Commanders time. We

1581
01:19:59,320 --> 01:20:01,880
Speaker 1: should talk about this game at some point, right sure.

1582
01:20:02,040 --> 01:20:05,040
Speaker 1: Commanders uh are on one of the I'm loyal to

1583
01:20:05,080 --> 01:20:09,960
Speaker 1: football ugliest three game winning streaks I've ever seen. I

1584
01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:12,479
Speaker 1: can't believe they won that game a week ago. I

1585
01:20:12,520 --> 01:20:14,479
Speaker 1: sort of can't believe they won that Packers game if

1586
01:20:14,479 --> 01:20:16,559
Speaker 1: you watch the whole thing, which I know you guys did.

1587
01:20:16,600 --> 01:20:18,320
Speaker 1: And then there was that game in the week before

1588
01:20:18,320 --> 01:20:20,840
Speaker 1: where dart Al Mooney drops the pass on the goal line.

1589
01:20:20,880 --> 01:20:23,400
Speaker 1: It was just like a bizarre three game winning streak.

1590
01:20:23,439 --> 01:20:25,519
Speaker 1: But here they are against the Vikings. I think the

1591
01:20:25,600 --> 01:20:29,840
Speaker 1: Vikings tackles have been underrated this year. They had a guy,

1592
01:20:29,920 --> 01:20:32,479
Speaker 1: Christian Derrissaw, who people were talking about like as a

1593
01:20:32,520 --> 01:20:34,400
Speaker 1: bust a year ago. Because he couldn't get on the field,

1594
01:20:34,400 --> 01:20:36,559
Speaker 1: and here he comes out in his second year and

1595
01:20:36,600 --> 01:20:39,879
Speaker 1: he's suddenly in Pro Bowl contention, Like all the grades

1596
01:20:39,920 --> 01:20:42,599
Speaker 1: are amazing for him. They have a good right tackle

1597
01:20:42,600 --> 01:20:44,400
Speaker 1: on Brian O'Neill, so you would think they can kind

1598
01:20:44,400 --> 01:20:47,040
Speaker 1: of mitigate the one thing Washington does really well, which

1599
01:20:47,040 --> 01:20:49,720
Speaker 1: is is rushing the past. And you know, Washington has

1600
01:20:49,760 --> 01:20:53,280
Speaker 1: been a you know, the team itself, not the organization,

1601
01:20:53,360 --> 01:20:54,760
Speaker 1: a little bit of a field good story in this

1602
01:20:54,800 --> 01:20:57,439
Speaker 1: winning streak, but their next two opponents of a combined

1603
01:20:57,479 --> 01:20:59,760
Speaker 1: record of thirteen and one, they get the Vikings and

1604
01:20:59,760 --> 01:21:02,080
Speaker 1: then Eagles. So I think we're gonna come down to

1605
01:21:02,160 --> 01:21:05,960
Speaker 1: earth Grave. Digger, you got something for us. I agree

1606
01:21:05,960 --> 01:21:09,240
Speaker 1: with everything Greg just said. It seems insane for the

1607
01:21:09,240 --> 01:21:12,200
Speaker 1: Commanders to turn this into a four game winning streak,

1608
01:21:12,320 --> 01:21:15,479
Speaker 1: so I don't zone they will. It is in the

1609
01:21:15,560 --> 01:21:19,120
Speaker 1: zone Vikings three and a half point favorites somehow, I

1610
01:21:19,160 --> 01:21:21,639
Speaker 1: guess because they're on the road, or I mean it's

1611
01:21:21,640 --> 01:21:24,720
Speaker 1: in that Washington stadium, which is a tough environment. I mean,

1612
01:21:24,800 --> 01:21:27,160
Speaker 1: you can you can jump off, you can jump off

1613
01:21:27,200 --> 01:21:34,400
Speaker 1: your lock and join Graver on an anti Commanders. The

1614
01:21:34,840 --> 01:21:37,320
Speaker 1: reason why I guess that there's not a lot of

1615
01:21:37,320 --> 01:21:41,120
Speaker 1: would being laid here. Is because Minnesota plays every team

1616
01:21:41,160 --> 01:21:44,920
Speaker 1: pretty tight. That's both their charm and they're the reason

1617
01:21:44,960 --> 01:21:47,559
Speaker 1: about why you can't trust them. You want to know,

1618
01:21:47,640 --> 01:21:50,559
Speaker 1: locking up the Vikings this year, but you're also making one.

1619
01:21:51,160 --> 01:21:54,360
Speaker 1: I'm guessing locking against the Commanders because you lost it

1620
01:21:54,439 --> 01:21:57,200
Speaker 1: a big spot when the Commandos came back on you.

1621
01:21:57,439 --> 01:22:01,080
Speaker 1: That's true, that was true. Let's tune in again, all right?

1622
01:22:01,160 --> 01:22:05,320
Speaker 1: One more, Poor poor Vikings fans. They don't get any love.

1623
01:22:05,880 --> 01:22:09,519
Speaker 1: We love you enjoy I can convinced you guys to

1624
01:22:09,560 --> 01:22:11,280
Speaker 1: make them team of a t L one year and

1625
01:22:11,320 --> 01:22:13,080
Speaker 1: then they lost every single game for the rest of

1626
01:22:13,120 --> 01:22:17,000
Speaker 1: the season. Fans out there, no that Zeuster stands with you.

1627
01:22:17,080 --> 01:22:20,280
Speaker 1: I always have. But that's it. Take care of business

1628
01:22:20,280 --> 01:22:23,519
Speaker 1: against one, you know, kind of a fugaze team. Let's

1629
01:22:23,760 --> 01:22:27,519
Speaker 1: just do it. How about Vegas at Jacksonville? You know

1630
01:22:27,640 --> 01:22:30,280
Speaker 1: my final pick and uh I feel bad for these

1631
01:22:30,320 --> 01:22:32,519
Speaker 1: two teams. This is a stop the slide game. Not

1632
01:22:32,640 --> 01:22:35,920
Speaker 1: as much you know on the line here, maybe, but

1633
01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:40,200
Speaker 1: it's still a big game. Maybe Josh McDaniel's side that

1634
01:22:40,320 --> 01:22:43,599
Speaker 1: could be on the line. The whoa, what are these

1635
01:22:43,680 --> 01:22:47,840
Speaker 1: like confabs with the owner after every loss. That's not

1636
01:22:47,920 --> 01:22:50,519
Speaker 1: a good thing. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty

1637
01:22:50,520 --> 01:22:53,760
Speaker 1: sure Mark Davis has done that in some form or

1638
01:22:53,760 --> 01:22:57,640
Speaker 1: fashion with all of his coaches throughout the course of

1639
01:22:57,720 --> 01:23:03,120
Speaker 1: his tenureship of the Raiders. It keeps being brought up

1640
01:23:03,120 --> 01:23:05,000
Speaker 1: as a story like how is this leaking to the

1641
01:23:05,040 --> 01:23:07,720
Speaker 1: media that these meetings are happy? Because because it's right

1642
01:23:07,760 --> 01:23:10,639
Speaker 1: after the game and the press conferences is being held

1643
01:23:10,760 --> 01:23:13,479
Speaker 1: up and they literally see him go into like the room,

1644
01:23:13,640 --> 01:23:17,160
Speaker 1: they clean that up. That's that's a little unless Davis

1645
01:23:17,200 --> 01:23:19,679
Speaker 1: wants it out there. Well, I would not be surprised.

1646
01:23:20,680 --> 01:23:23,280
Speaker 1: I both these teams are better than the record fire

1647
01:23:23,320 --> 01:23:26,400
Speaker 1: them on January three. Here's the thing there, Okay, these

1648
01:23:26,400 --> 01:23:28,719
Speaker 1: two teams, what are the records to seven, two and six?

1649
01:23:30,600 --> 01:23:35,160
Speaker 1: Are they really any different than the Patriots or certainly

1650
01:23:35,200 --> 01:23:37,840
Speaker 1: the Commanders. I'm trying to pick four and four teams

1651
01:23:37,880 --> 01:23:40,600
Speaker 1: or the Falcons or some of these teams that I

1652
01:23:40,640 --> 01:23:43,400
Speaker 1: don't think these two teams, both of them. I would

1653
01:23:43,439 --> 01:23:45,679
Speaker 1: include the Jaguars two, they're oh and ten and one

1654
01:23:45,720 --> 01:23:48,439
Speaker 1: score games. They just can't find a way to win.

1655
01:23:48,560 --> 01:23:51,759
Speaker 1: Combine the Jaguars are o and six in one score

1656
01:23:51,800 --> 01:23:55,040
Speaker 1: games and the Raiders are they just can't finish the game,

1657
01:23:55,040 --> 01:23:56,880
Speaker 1: but they're always right there. There's very much of Trevor

1658
01:23:56,960 --> 01:23:58,960
Speaker 1: Lawrence thing for the Jaguars. I think that he's had

1659
01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:01,680
Speaker 1: how many opportunity needs to go seal a game in

1660
01:24:01,680 --> 01:24:04,360
Speaker 1: his early career here, and this season it has happened.

1661
01:24:04,360 --> 01:24:07,400
Speaker 1: Not once. They have train wreck records, but I don't

1662
01:24:07,400 --> 01:24:09,880
Speaker 1: think either team is a train wreck. But you know,

1663
01:24:10,400 --> 01:24:14,120
Speaker 1: when you can't close out close games, that separates these teams,

1664
01:24:14,120 --> 01:24:17,160
Speaker 1: and neither of these teams can Both teams, Yeah, Lawrence

1665
01:24:17,200 --> 01:24:19,599
Speaker 1: has been an issue. The Raiders have had a chance.

1666
01:24:19,680 --> 01:24:21,519
Speaker 1: The Raiders could be five and two right now if

1667
01:24:21,520 --> 01:24:23,400
Speaker 1: they just execute better at the ends of games, and

1668
01:24:23,439 --> 01:24:25,920
Speaker 1: they haven't. So you put both these teams. This is

1669
01:24:26,000 --> 01:24:29,040
Speaker 1: kind of a greggy, a little bit of a double

1670
01:24:29,040 --> 01:24:32,719
Speaker 1: wounded animal game here. I think that's true. It's cornered,

1671
01:24:32,840 --> 01:24:37,080
Speaker 1: it's it's stopping the slide, it's a measuring stick, it's everything.

1672
01:24:40,040 --> 01:24:43,439
Speaker 1: I don't know what the surviving animal has ahead in

1673
01:24:43,439 --> 01:24:46,479
Speaker 1: its life. That'd be my concern. How about this Mark.

1674
01:24:46,520 --> 01:24:49,960
Speaker 1: I'm not going to get into gassing up the Raiders anymore,

1675
01:24:50,000 --> 01:24:51,479
Speaker 1: but if they do win this game, they get to

1676
01:24:51,600 --> 01:24:54,040
Speaker 1: three and five, then they get the Cults at home

1677
01:24:54,560 --> 01:24:57,000
Speaker 1: after that four and five, and then they go to Denver, right,

1678
01:24:57,000 --> 01:24:59,160
Speaker 1: and so you wind up as another seven win team.

1679
01:24:59,200 --> 01:25:00,960
Speaker 1: I think, ultimately was the thing I thought they were

1680
01:25:00,960 --> 01:25:02,720
Speaker 1: turning around. They were one team. I had a lot

1681
01:25:02,720 --> 01:25:04,920
Speaker 1: of faith in a week OG at this time because

1682
01:25:04,920 --> 01:25:06,360
Speaker 1: of the way they were running the ball, and then

1683
01:25:06,360 --> 01:25:09,040
Speaker 1: and then suddenly you will get totally blanked by the Saints.

1684
01:25:09,320 --> 01:25:11,519
Speaker 1: It was a terrible Derek Car game, and you don't

1685
01:25:11,520 --> 01:25:13,479
Speaker 1: show up on any level. So you can go to

1686
01:25:13,560 --> 01:25:15,519
Speaker 1: be a six or seven win team. Find I think

1687
01:25:15,640 --> 01:25:18,160
Speaker 1: these two teams, and I said about the Saints a

1688
01:25:18,160 --> 01:25:21,160
Speaker 1: little earlier, I think they have potential to be a

1689
01:25:21,200 --> 01:25:24,400
Speaker 1: little bit like the Raiders, which is a team that

1690
01:25:24,479 --> 01:25:26,880
Speaker 1: you know, fired their head coach and looked dead in

1691
01:25:26,920 --> 01:25:29,679
Speaker 1: the water and wasn't really great, but one a bunch

1692
01:25:29,680 --> 01:25:31,400
Speaker 1: of close games towards the end of the year to

1693
01:25:31,400 --> 01:25:33,400
Speaker 1: sneak into a playoff spot. It'd be tough for either

1694
01:25:33,439 --> 01:25:34,800
Speaker 1: of these teams to get into a playoffs, but I

1695
01:25:34,800 --> 01:25:36,840
Speaker 1: could see either one of them, and certainly the winner

1696
01:25:36,840 --> 01:25:38,600
Speaker 1: of this game has a better chance of getting to

1697
01:25:38,640 --> 01:25:41,519
Speaker 1: a winning record because there are things about each team

1698
01:25:41,520 --> 01:25:44,760
Speaker 1: that aren't bad at all. That the Jaguars are starting

1699
01:25:44,760 --> 01:25:46,240
Speaker 1: to figure out. I just need to see a little

1700
01:25:46,240 --> 01:25:49,599
Speaker 1: more out of like some of their big ticket defensive guys.

1701
01:25:49,600 --> 01:25:51,640
Speaker 1: They paid a lot of money to a Lucan, a

1702
01:25:51,640 --> 01:25:53,840
Speaker 1: lot of money to Darius Williams, and then we haven't

1703
01:25:53,880 --> 01:25:56,519
Speaker 1: mentioned Trayvon Walker in a long time, the number one

1704
01:25:56,560 --> 01:25:58,760
Speaker 1: overall pick. I think that's for a reason. He's just

1705
01:25:59,120 --> 01:26:02,720
Speaker 1: isn't much of a pass rusher as a rookie. I

1706
01:26:02,720 --> 01:26:05,400
Speaker 1: would say he's a negative pass rusher as a rookie.

1707
01:26:05,520 --> 01:26:07,599
Speaker 1: Always a big gamble. It's not that it's over anything,

1708
01:26:07,640 --> 01:26:10,120
Speaker 1: but no, I think he's athletic and he's a good

1709
01:26:10,200 --> 01:26:13,080
Speaker 1: run stopper and maybe he'll develop that, but this year

1710
01:26:13,120 --> 01:26:16,000
Speaker 1: he's not helping them out. I do love Travis et

1711
01:26:16,120 --> 01:26:18,040
Speaker 1: n I feel like every week he's doing something where

1712
01:26:18,040 --> 01:26:20,360
Speaker 1: you're like, this is a thing you build around. I'm

1713
01:26:20,400 --> 01:26:22,080
Speaker 1: with you. I mean, the Jaguar has also been in

1714
01:26:22,080 --> 01:26:25,040
Speaker 1: these close games where like, if you want to, I'd

1715
01:26:25,040 --> 01:26:27,559
Speaker 1: say Doug Peterson is doing a good job overall from

1716
01:26:27,560 --> 01:26:30,519
Speaker 1: where they were a year ago. But you gotta find

1717
01:26:30,520 --> 01:26:32,160
Speaker 1: a way to win some of these games. Like you're

1718
01:26:32,160 --> 01:26:34,840
Speaker 1: talking about two teams that cannot seal deals. That's why

1719
01:26:34,880 --> 01:26:36,240
Speaker 1: you wind up with four or five. When do you

1720
01:26:36,280 --> 01:26:38,680
Speaker 1: pick him this game? I I'm struggling to pick this

1721
01:26:38,760 --> 01:26:41,320
Speaker 1: for game debut. People should check that out. It's like

1722
01:26:41,320 --> 01:26:45,559
Speaker 1: a pick show on NFL five Pacific. I almost the

1723
01:26:45,640 --> 01:26:49,240
Speaker 1: Raiders because I feel that they're going to respond to

1724
01:26:49,400 --> 01:26:51,760
Speaker 1: explode against this. I think I think you're gonna get

1725
01:26:51,760 --> 01:26:54,080
Speaker 1: a good version of that confident. I did pick the

1726
01:26:54,160 --> 01:26:56,559
Speaker 1: Raiders right now, but it's written in pencil. I may change.

1727
01:26:56,600 --> 01:26:59,799
Speaker 1: I punished the Raiders and the power rankings for betraying

1728
01:26:59,840 --> 01:27:03,240
Speaker 1: me you with that effort at the Superdome. I also

1729
01:27:03,320 --> 01:27:06,120
Speaker 1: don't I'm not totally out on them either. I do

1730
01:27:06,240 --> 01:27:08,719
Speaker 1: see a path for them being in the wild card

1731
01:27:08,800 --> 01:27:12,000
Speaker 1: race in late December, so I do see them winning

1732
01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:13,559
Speaker 1: this game. I mean, if you don't win this game,

1733
01:27:13,600 --> 01:27:16,599
Speaker 1: just have have a have another meeting after and then

1734
01:27:16,600 --> 01:27:21,880
Speaker 1: another meeting after that. There wild card race adventures die

1735
01:27:22,439 --> 01:27:24,200
Speaker 1: in the final two weeks of the season against the

1736
01:27:24,240 --> 01:27:26,680
Speaker 1: forty Niners and Chiefs. If they have some wild card

1737
01:27:27,680 --> 01:27:29,680
Speaker 1: then that would be a plus. What's up with this

1738
01:27:29,760 --> 01:27:33,360
Speaker 1: Davante Adams illness situation? Is he gonna play a lot

1739
01:27:33,400 --> 01:27:36,720
Speaker 1: of illnesses going around. Okay, it's a season. Well, I

1740
01:27:36,720 --> 01:27:40,720
Speaker 1: think it's something, right is it? Is it COVID? But

1741
01:27:40,760 --> 01:27:43,240
Speaker 1: they don't have to declare it's COVID. I don't. I

1742
01:27:43,360 --> 01:27:45,840
Speaker 1: don't know. Like Lebron James, for instance, in the NBA

1743
01:27:45,880 --> 01:27:47,639
Speaker 1: said he couldn't get out of bed for three straight

1744
01:27:47,680 --> 01:27:49,320
Speaker 1: days and then and then played on Wednesday. It's a

1745
01:27:49,320 --> 01:27:53,040
Speaker 1: lot going around. Those two sports are different, they're very different.

1746
01:27:55,720 --> 01:27:59,040
Speaker 1: He also only had five yards. Only had five yard?

1747
01:27:59,080 --> 01:28:03,800
Speaker 1: Football is complete different than basketball. Navigate, what did I

1748
01:28:03,840 --> 01:28:06,240
Speaker 1: say that was not true? There by the way, it's

1749
01:28:06,280 --> 01:28:10,719
Speaker 1: spot on the analysis? Was there? Spot on statement? Uh?

1750
01:28:10,760 --> 01:28:13,280
Speaker 1: What I have going for me is my raging apathy

1751
01:28:13,320 --> 01:28:15,920
Speaker 1: on this front. What what was your take though? Overall? Like,

1752
01:28:16,120 --> 01:28:20,800
Speaker 1: what's the deal with illness? Well? I think you're suggesting

1753
01:28:20,840 --> 01:28:23,680
Speaker 1: that it is something very I just have noticed. I

1754
01:28:23,760 --> 01:28:27,040
Speaker 1: noticed last week there's about twenty five players on the

1755
01:28:27,080 --> 01:28:30,679
Speaker 1: injury report for illness. And you know these are athletes

1756
01:28:30,720 --> 01:28:32,559
Speaker 1: who want to practice. You obviously don't want to get

1757
01:28:32,560 --> 01:28:35,640
Speaker 1: your teammates sick, but it's probably a serious illness if

1758
01:28:35,640 --> 01:28:37,640
Speaker 1: you're out of practice. And I just was like, this

1759
01:28:37,800 --> 01:28:40,360
Speaker 1: just is this COVID. I think it's what they don't

1760
01:28:40,400 --> 01:28:43,679
Speaker 1: have to declare. I guess I don't really doesn't even

1761
01:28:43,720 --> 01:28:46,400
Speaker 1: travel to Houston. That makes me think maybe he did

1762
01:28:46,479 --> 01:28:48,680
Speaker 1: get right and declare. That would that would be a

1763
01:28:48,760 --> 01:28:51,479
Speaker 1: very simple explanation. I think Greg gets the Nancy Drew

1764
01:28:51,479 --> 01:28:54,479
Speaker 1: Award on this one. All right, let's check out the

1765
01:28:54,520 --> 01:28:58,759
Speaker 1: lock standings before we like everyone like, oh they're talking COVID.

1766
01:28:58,840 --> 01:29:03,000
Speaker 1: Get all right, the old zuser with Greg rosal top

1767
01:29:03,080 --> 01:29:07,040
Speaker 1: the standings of Look at the Mark Cessler right behind

1768
01:29:07,080 --> 01:29:12,000
Speaker 1: at five and three. Uh. I thought it was like

1769
01:29:12,040 --> 01:29:14,360
Speaker 1: a four way time like West Brothers buried at three

1770
01:29:14,360 --> 01:29:16,599
Speaker 1: and five. I like it, Mark, what are you upset about?

1771
01:29:16,600 --> 01:29:19,479
Speaker 1: Now you're right there? I find this this This was

1772
01:29:19,520 --> 01:29:22,120
Speaker 1: creative this time. What they have grave digger, you know,

1773
01:29:22,160 --> 01:29:23,920
Speaker 1: typing out the graphics and he doesn't know how to

1774
01:29:23,920 --> 01:29:28,400
Speaker 1: spell my name. If that's what's happened, well someone back

1775
01:29:28,439 --> 01:29:30,720
Speaker 1: there and could go back to fifth grade. And once again,

1776
01:29:30,760 --> 01:29:33,599
Speaker 1: if you're listening on audio, go to a minute one

1777
01:29:33,840 --> 01:29:37,120
Speaker 1: forty nine on YouTube and find this Mark. It's kind

1778
01:29:37,120 --> 01:29:40,880
Speaker 1: of a k and we missed an s we oh

1779
01:29:41,000 --> 01:29:44,439
Speaker 1: you were involved. That's a tough we Well, it's all.

1780
01:29:44,520 --> 01:29:46,439
Speaker 1: We we are a team. We're a real team. I

1781
01:29:46,479 --> 01:29:49,280
Speaker 1: feel that we we succeed together. We failed, yes we do,

1782
01:29:49,520 --> 01:29:51,760
Speaker 1: and we failed there and I'm sure it'll be cleaned

1783
01:29:51,840 --> 01:29:54,200
Speaker 1: up next to my part of the loss there. I

1784
01:29:54,200 --> 01:29:55,600
Speaker 1: don't feel that I took an l on that you

1785
01:29:55,640 --> 01:29:58,880
Speaker 1: separate yourself from the greater pod group or do you

1786
01:29:58,960 --> 01:30:02,720
Speaker 1: part of the team? But don't Okay, Jim, what was

1787
01:30:02,720 --> 01:30:07,519
Speaker 1: that one? I don't know. We don't peg meet all right.

1788

Speaker 1: Thank you to everyone for watching our program. Make sure
