1 00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:02,040 Speaker 1: The volume. 2 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:13,200 Speaker 2: You don't do the Bowl championship. That should always be 3 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:17,760 Speaker 2: the expectation. All right, man at you go ahead. Welcome 4 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 2: back to another Richard Sherman podcast. Today. We had a 5 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 2: great slate of games. I'm gonna start with the Denver 6 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 2: Broncos versus my Seattle Seahawks was a great game. Mike 7 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:33,240 Speaker 2: McDonald's debut this It did not start how you want 8 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 2: a game to start. A sack, an interception. I mean, 9 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 2: there were two safeties in the first half. That was 10 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 2: not the way you draw it up, ladies and gentlemen. 11 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 2: But defensively they stood up the real test and measure 12 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 2: of a great defense. It's not how you're doing when 13 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 2: everything's going great and you're getting sacks, you're getting interceptions. 14 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 2: It's when everything's going wrong, when Murphy's Law kicks in 15 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 2: and everything that could go wrong does go wrong. Do 16 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 2: you implode? Do we start pointing fingers, Do we start 17 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 2: getting angry? Do we start do we fold on defense 18 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 2: and start putting our hands up? No? You respond And 19 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:21,320 Speaker 2: that's what Seattle Seahawks defense did over and over and 20 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 2: over again in this game. Big time turnover in the 21 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 2: first half by Jordan Love, a big time stand after 22 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 2: that turnover to hold the Denver Broncos to three points. 23 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 2: The offense gets the safety again. You could sit there 24 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 2: and suck your teeth what's going on? But no, Mike, 25 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 2: Mike McDonald has done a good job creating a really 26 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 2: good culture with these players. They believe in one another, 27 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 2: they believe in each other, they believe in the system, 28 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 2: and they just kept fighting. They just kept fighting. They 29 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 2: would not give up. They kept pursuing. Every single time 30 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 2: you could count two, three, four defenders in the play. 31 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 2: It's not about missing tack miss tackles happened, it's about 32 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 2: being the only one there after the mishappens. This game, 33 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 2: you could see how well coached this defense is, how 34 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,079 Speaker 2: hard they're playing, especially in the secondary, the D line. 35 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 2: These guys you're looking and they're swarming to the football. 36 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 2: One guy misses, the second guy is right there on 37 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 2: a third guy, fourth guy, fifth guy. They're playing really fast, 38 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 2: they're playing really confident, and they're playing really hot hard. 39 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,639 Speaker 2: The things you can't coach our effort and attitude, and 40 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 2: that's what defense is all about. And you can see 41 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 2: that Mike McDonald has emphasized that to this team. And 42 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 2: then the second half came, the Seattle Seahawks made the 43 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 2: necessary adjustments on the offensive side of the football, started 44 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 2: to find some gaps and in the run game, Kenneth 45 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,119 Speaker 2: Walker found some room. Really opened this game up, made 46 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 2: some huge plays. Hopefully he's okay. Went out with an 47 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 2: abdominal injury and didn't come back into the game. But 48 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 2: I was really impressed by Devin Witherspoon, by Leonard Williams, 49 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 2: by Rik wooland by Julie in Love by Geno Smith. 50 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 2: Gino did not start the game that particularly well, and 51 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 2: then by no fault of his own, you know you're 52 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:12,359 Speaker 2: under constant duress. Denver's defensive line looked really formidable. Their 53 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 2: defense in general, patches ertain is the best corner of 54 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 2: the National Football League. It's really tough to debate that 55 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 2: right now. And he was able, he was able to 56 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 2: weather the storm. He didn't he didn't panic, he didn't 57 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 2: start pointing a finger. He kept leading, He kept his 58 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 2: poise and he started to lead the offense. And at 59 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,519 Speaker 2: the end of the game when they needed a big play, 60 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 2: he hit Tyler Lockett on the biggest play of the 61 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 2: game to seal the game. And old Reliable Oll Reliable 62 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 2: Tyler Lockett one hand grab to seal the game. DK 63 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 2: came up with a number of big catches uh to 64 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 2: move the chains in again a tough matchup with Patzert 65 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 2: in vance. Joseph and the Denver defense deserves a lot 66 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 2: of credit for what they were able to do in 67 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 2: that game. They played a good football game. They just 68 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 2: didn't have enough offensively, and by no fault of anybody's. 69 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 2: I mean, bone Nicks is a quarterback going against a 70 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 2: really complex scheme, a lot of disguises, a lot of 71 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 2: different looks. His first NFL came in a very very 72 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 2: very hostile, loud, crazy, chaotic environment in Looming Field. I 73 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 2: think he did solid, But again, I was just so 74 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 2: impressed by the Seattle defense. It looks like there's a 75 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 2: bright future in Seattle. I'm excited about it. I'm excited 76 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 2: that they're going to continue. JSN made some impact plays 77 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 2: early on. Hopefully they can get you know, this offensive 78 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:37,119 Speaker 2: line more stabilized, more secure. I don't know what happened 79 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 2: to George Fant. He went out early in the game, 80 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 2: did not return. We did not get an update on that. 81 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 2: Hopefully they'll get an update on that after the game. 82 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 2: A Blucas is supposed to be working his way back 83 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 2: into the lineup. Now they need him to expedite that 84 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 2: process just a little bit more ape Again, Seattle's defense 85 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 2: forced three turnovers. They were not forcing turnovers last year. 86 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,799 Speaker 2: They were not playing this fast, they were not playing 87 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 2: with this kind of effort and belief that they are 88 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 2: this year. It looks like they got twelve men on 89 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 2: the field, and yes, that's the shout out to the 90 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 2: twelfth man. I look forward to continuing to see this 91 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 2: defense's growth. Obviously they're gonna have tougher matchups in the future, 92 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 2: but right now they should be feeling really good about themselves. 93 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,919 Speaker 2: I'm sure they'll go into the film room correct the 94 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,599 Speaker 2: necessary things. There's a couple plays in there, a couple 95 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 2: of leaky yardage in the run game where guys weren't 96 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 2: gapped out, guys getting moved out of gaps, spinning out 97 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 2: of gaps, but things that are correctible. But the things 98 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 2: that you love to see when you turn on the 99 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 2: tape as guys running, moving with their hair on fire. 100 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 2: And that's what you saw from the Seattle Seahawks defense. 101 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 2: Mike McDonald seems like he is doing a really good job, 102 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,479 Speaker 2: and he got these boys ready to play. I look 103 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 2: forward to next week seeing if they can do it 104 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 2: again and how consistently they can do it, because that 105 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 2: is going to be the thing that takes them as 106 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 2: far Consistency. Consistency is what great teams have. Anybody can 107 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 2: do it once, can they do it again? And I 108 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 2: think they can and again. Talk about traditions, you had 109 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 2: the greats Cam Chancer raised the flag. That's freaking fantastic. 110 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 2: Marshawn was the ratings adjuster for mad on the sideline. 111 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 2: You'll never ever see another time somebody gets on the 112 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 2: sideline and gets to give the head coach of the 113 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 2: home team a shoulder rub during the game. Now, I 114 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 2: mean they won the first one. That's Mike McDonald's first 115 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 2: ever win. So now does Marshawn have to give him 116 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 2: up shoulder rub every game? I don't know. Maybe it's 117 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 2: a crazy environment in Seattle, it might just happen. Who knows. 118 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 2: But all I know is this defense is playing great. 119 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 2: This team is right where they need to be, got 120 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 2: some ways to correct it. I hope Kenneth Walker is 121 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 2: all right because he's a huge part of what this 122 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 2: team is trying to do. And baby, let's get him 123 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 2: next week. The next week, the Seahawks are at the 124 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 2: Patriots in Gillette Stadium. The Patriots coming off a huge, 125 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:58,239 Speaker 2: huge win against the Cincinnati Bengals in Cincinnati. This felt 126 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 2: like a gimme game in the preseason. It does not 127 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 2: feel like a gimme game now. This defense is playing well. 128 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 2: Their offense is playing just good enough. So it's going 129 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,919 Speaker 2: to be another game that the Seattle Seahawks have to 130 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 2: fight tough road environment. I'm looking forward to it. 131 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: NFL Week one is here, and a new season means 132 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: new ways to get it on the action.

The Dallas Cowboys versus the Cleveland Browns, 173 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 2: it was never really a matchup. It was a mismatch 174 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 2: from the beginning. This Dallas Cowboys team had their way 175 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 2: with a really, really good Cleveland Browns defense. This was 176 00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 2: one of the best defenses in the league last year. Watson, 177 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on with him. He just 178 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 2: does not look the same. He does not look as 179 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 2: confident as he once did, does not look as sure 180 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 2: of himself as he once did. But Dak Prescott, I 181 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 2: told you, guys, I told you you're gonna have to 182 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 2: pay him sixty million. Then they did. I'm surprised Jerry 183 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 2: did it because it didn't seem like he was gonna 184 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 2: do it. Didn't sound like he was gonna do it. 185 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 2: But he did it again. Dak Prescott is one of 186 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 2: the best quarterbacks in the National Football League. You can 187 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 2: argue with somebody else. I don't care about what you 188 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,199 Speaker 2: guys say. It was the second team All Pro last 189 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 2: year for a reason. This team has had a winning 190 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 2: record just about every season he's been under center, always 191 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 2: making the playoffs. They were the top offense, scoring offense 192 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 2: in the league. Last year he's at the helm. It 193 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 2: was Tom Brady's debut as a color analyst. That was 194 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 2: pretty cool. But it just was not a great day 195 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 2: for the Cleveland Brown So we're just gonna talk about 196 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 2: the Dallas scout Boys. Ceed Lamb five catches for sixty 197 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 2: one yards. Dak Prescott won seventy nine one TD Eric 198 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 2: had a heck of a day for the Dallas Cowboys. 199 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 2: He had two sacks and an interception. Looks like he 200 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 2: made the right decision coming to Dallas. Micah Parsons looks 201 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,440 Speaker 2: like again, he looks like a man child. Doesn't matter 202 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 2: where he lines up, he's a problem. He's moving grown 203 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 2: men around in a way that you don't you don't 204 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 2: see very often. DeMarcus Lawrence had a really fantastic game 205 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 2: with two sacks, Trayvon Diggs Welcome back, Trayvon Diggs. Welcome 206 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:33,439 Speaker 2: back Trayvon Diggs with two PBUs our, two passes defense, 207 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 2: and an interception he gets to the ball. Al Harris 208 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:42,319 Speaker 2: has this secondary playing outstanding football, and the Cleveland Browns 209 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 2: have one of the best secondaries in the National Football League. Obviously, 210 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 2: obviously Dak was gonna do go crazy on this secondary. 211 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 2: They got Miles Garrett, they were putting a lot of 212 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 2: pressure on him. But overall, this is a really solid 213 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 2: game for the Dallas Cowboys against a really good defense. Again, 214 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 2: Deshaun Watson goes twenty four for four, forty five for 215 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 2: one sixty nine, one touchdown, two interceptions. I don't know, 216 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 2: Dashaun has played great in the past. He just does 217 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 2: not look like the same player and it's really concerning. 218 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 2: Hopefully somebody has got more answers for me. He's not 219 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 2: looking confidence, He's missing a lot of easy throws, he's 220 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 2: not making quick decisions. He's staring down his receivers. It 221 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 2: looks like a lot of regression and I'm not sure 222 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 2: what's going on or I can speak on that, but 223 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 2: welcome back to Ezekiel Elliott. That was pretty cool to 224 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 2: see back in the Dallas Cowboys' uniform scoring. Hey, they 225 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 2: gave it to him from the five and end and 226 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 2: again he's still Ezekiel Elliott. He's still very heavy, and 227 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 2: he's still going to get the ball in the end 228 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 2: zone and he's still doing it at a high level 229 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 2: for the Dallas Cowboys. That was really cool to see. 230 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 2: But you know, the big news of the day, I 231 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 2: guess some of the big news was so much chaos 232 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 2: going on in these early games. The Miami Dolphins best 233 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 2: Player or Tyreek Hill, the number one player in the 234 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 2: top one hundred voted on by his peers, was arrested 235 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 2: on his way to the game. Arrested. What are we 236 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 2: doing here? Guys like the police that are working around 237 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 2: the stadium know what he's here to do. They're no 238 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 2: whyse here? Yeah, like unless he was weaving through traffic 239 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 2: or doing something crazy, which I don't have the full 240 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:30,679 Speaker 2: background on it, so I can't speak. Educated and knowledgeable 241 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,080 Speaker 2: on this topic because we haven't gotten the full story. 242 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 2: But it doesn't seem like it doesn't seem like he 243 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 2: was doing anything crazy. And then you see some of 244 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:42,959 Speaker 2: the footage and he looks like they're trying to rough 245 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 2: him up, and it looks like like it just didn't 246 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 2: look like a good scene. Thank goodness, everybody got out 247 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 2: of there safe, his teammates coming to his aid, he comes, 248 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 2: he somehow gets released, shows up to the stadium and 249 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 2: has a day. Has a day now? Am I saying 250 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 2: the cops might have been Jaguars fans. Perhaps, I don't know. 251 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 2: It just was a crazy story. Ree gets out there 252 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 2: seven catches for one thirty a huge ended a drive, 253 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 2: one play drive, eighty yard touchdown lad in the game 254 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 2: to help the Miami Dolphins beat the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jalen 255 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 2: Waddell had a really solid day to a tongue Bay loa. 256 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 2: It's still very very effective. Twenty three to thirty seven 257 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 2: for three hundred and thirty eight yards in a touchdown. 258 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 2: Devin A. Chain didn't have a ton of running room 259 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 2: throughout this game. Ten rushes for twenty four yards in 260 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 2: a rushing TD, but he did have seven receptions for 261 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 2: seventy six yards. That defense looked pretty solid early on. 262 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 2: It looked like Trevor Lawrence was having his way with 263 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 2: that defense. Second half, they were able to pretty much 264 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 2: put that fire out. Tank Bigsby, the second year player 265 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 2: out of Auburn, has his best day as a pro, 266 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 2: really had a better day than Travis Eatn throughout most 267 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 2: of his game. Trevon Walker had a really good game 268 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 2: for the Jacksonville Jaguars two sacks, but again, the final 269 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 2: numbers just don't look crazy for Trevor Lawrence and they 270 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 2: needed more from him. To a tongue vaaloat three thirty 271 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 2: eight in the game, Trevor Lawrence twelve for twenty one 272 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 2: point sixty two and a touchdown. You just expect more 273 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 2: from him. We'll see. Obviously, you got to give a 274 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 2: lot of credit to Miami's defense. They got a lot 275 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 2: of big time players. They played well. They put a 276 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 2: lot of pressure on him a sack each from Emmanuel 277 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 2: Odd Buck, Kalais Campbell, and Jalen Phillips. But big time 278 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 2: quarterbacks make big time plays consistently. That's the reason why 279 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 2: you get paid the big bucks. When your team needs it, 280 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 2: you're supposed to have it, and again he didn't turn 281 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 2: the ball over, so you got to give him credit 282 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 2: for that. But again his defense didn't cause a ton 283 00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 2: of turnovers, so he was Trevor Lawrence is a Kyy's 284 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 2: heel right now is win. His defense doesn't cause a turnover, 285 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 2: it doesn't cause multiple turnovers, he doesn't off He doesn't 286 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 2: often win those games. That has to change in order 287 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 2: for this team to get where they want to get. 288 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence is going to have to change that narrative. 289 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 2: Your defense shouldn't have to get a turnover for you 290 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 2: to win the game. If you're getting fifty five million dollars, 291 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 2: second highest, third highest court paid quarterback in the National 292 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 2: Football League, they should be able to lean on you 293 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 2: to win the game. They should be able to lean 294 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 2: on your talent and your ability to win the game, 295 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 2: especially against an evenly matched opponent. Both teams played well, 296 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 2: seventeen points, it was tied up at seventeen. Miami goes down, 297 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 2: takes the lead with no time left on the clock. 298 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 2: But you just need more from your fifty five million 299 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 2: dollar quarterback. That's how I feel. The Jacksonville Jaguars next 300 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 2: week are at the Cleveland Browns. That one feels like 301 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 2: they should be able to get that game unless Deshaun 302 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 2: Watson has a revelation and turns back the hands of 303 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 2: the time and really plays like he's capable of. The 304 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 2: Dolphins are on Thursday Night Football on Prime. I'll be 305 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 2: there in Miami, be there or be square getting to 306 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:18,920 Speaker 2: watch to a tongue of Ailoa and Josh Allen go 307 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 2: at it. It's gonna be a fun game, a competitive environment. 308 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,879 Speaker 2: Hopefully they let Tyreek get to the stadium without incident. 309 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 2: Please just let him get to it there, Tarrek Card, 310 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,479 Speaker 2: just get a driver. I don't know, I don't know. 311 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 2: You're right with a teammate right riding kalais is Rose Royce. 312 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 2: I saw your teammates pull up on you. It looks 313 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 2: like it looked like a luxury car showcase when your 314 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 2: guys were pulling up. But I respect that teammates showing 315 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 2: up for their guy, even in the midst of adversity controversy. 316 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:51,400 Speaker 2: He they were there. Uh. I can't wait for that game. 317 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,880 Speaker 2: I'm gonna be there. It's gonna be an exciting game. 318 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 2: A division opponent, Buffalo coming off a big time win 319 00:17:58,040 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 2: over the Arizona car News where it was a really 320 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 2: really tight game until late in the game, the Miami 321 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 2: Dolphins coming into it with off of a hard fought 322 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:10,160 Speaker 2: win against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Ah, this is I love 323 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 2: football season. Now we're gonna move on to a young 324 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:21,160 Speaker 2: quarterback duel that we all love to see between CJ. 325 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:25,919 Speaker 2: Stroud and Anthony Richardson. This was one you had to 326 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 2: be there for. New all season additions Joe Mixon and 327 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 2: Stefan Diggs make an immediate impact. Joe Mixon thirty carries 328 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 2: for one point fifty nine, a touchdown, three receptions for 329 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 2: nineteen yards. Stefan Dicks comes in and gets a pair 330 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 2: of touchdowns in his first game as a Houston Texan. 331 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,880 Speaker 2: But nicocollins six for one point seventeen and a very 332 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,159 Speaker 2: critical third down catch late in the ball game to 333 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 2: sell it. But Anthony Richardson's throw early in this game 334 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,879 Speaker 2: to Alec Piers is probably the story of the week. 335 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,719 Speaker 2: I mean, one of the best throws you will ever see. 336 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 2: It looked like he threw it almost blind and absolute dime. 337 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,880 Speaker 2: Think it was sixty yards in the air. Oh my god. 338 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 2: It so much talent you're getting from this kid. Only 339 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,639 Speaker 2: through the ball nineteen times, completed nine of them for 340 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 2: two hundred and twelve yards. Two tts also ran the 341 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 2: ball six times for fifty six yards, and a TD 342 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor comes in sixteen for forty eight yards in 343 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 2: a touchdown. Alec Pierce and Anthony Richardson are going to 344 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 2: be a duel that we want to watch for a 345 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,439 Speaker 2: long time. I can't wait to see what else they 346 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 2: got in store, because that was a really fun matchup. 347 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 2: But the Houston Texans CJ. Stroud looked really good twenty 348 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 2: four thirty two, two thirty four and two touchdowns, but 349 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,879 Speaker 2: there were times. There were times in this game he 350 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 2: looks hesitant. Maybe it's just a Russ getting back into things. 351 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 2: There were so many turnover worthy plays. Some of them 352 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,440 Speaker 2: got overturned by penalties, some of the guys just dropped 353 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 2: the interceptions, and I don't think he had a turnover 354 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:04,880 Speaker 2: worthy play. I don't think he threw an interception until 355 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 2: Week six or so of his rookie year. So to 356 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 2: see a few turnover worthy plays early in these games 357 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 2: early in the season is a little bit concerning for me. 358 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 2: But didn't end up throwing an interception, so it really 359 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 2: doesn't matter in the long run, but man, man, it 360 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 2: just didn't look the same and sometimes but when they 361 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 2: needed to have it, when they had to have it, 362 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:27,919 Speaker 2: he was the guy that they knew he would be 363 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,239 Speaker 2: the MVP candidate that we all know he is. And 364 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 2: they got the win, the first win in the twenty 365 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 2: twenty four season for the Houston Texans, but really bright 366 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,360 Speaker 2: future for the Indianapolis coach. They have to feel really 367 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 2: good about what Anthony Richardson was able to do, really 368 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 2: good about what Alec Pierce was able to do. Defensively, 369 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 2: My boy defo DeForest Buckner had a second and a half. 370 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 2: The defense was flying around, but here wasn't enough. The 371 00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 2: Houston Texans go to Chicago Soldier Field to play the 372 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 2: bit next week. That should be a really great matchup. 373 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 2: That Bears defense looks really legit. It looks really legit. 374 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 2: The Colts are at the Packers, but we're speaking about 375 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 2: that Chicago Bears defense. They played the Tennessee Titans, and 376 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 2: my goodness, Will Levis played a really solid game early on, 377 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,400 Speaker 2: doing a lot of cool things with his legs, doing 378 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 2: a lot of cool things with his arms, and then 379 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 2: the wheels just fell off. The truck. He just fell 380 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 2: off the wheels, just fell off the truck. They fell 381 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 2: off the bus, and I don't know what happened. It 382 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 2: was a bonehead throw that he threw late in the 383 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 2: game to Tarik Stevenson. He takes it for a touchdown. 384 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 2: Late in the game Jalen Johnson. He puts one up 385 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:48,119 Speaker 2: into cover two another interception. This game was relatively close. 386 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 2: Chicago was losing throughout most of the game. Caleb Williams 387 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 2: didn't have the greatest debut in rookie history. He didn't 388 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 2: like the world on fire like everybody expected, but he 389 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 2: did play solid. He didn't turn the ball over. He 390 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 2: had fourteen of twenty nine for ninety three yards. Five 391 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 2: rushers for fifteen yards. Didn't, by no means lit the 392 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,199 Speaker 2: world on fire. But I didn't expect him to. That 393 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,639 Speaker 2: offensive line they need some melt, and I thought they 394 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 2: would draft to tackle. They didn't. But the cool thing 395 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 2: about winning culture and developing a winning team is that 396 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:24,159 Speaker 2: you neque complimentary football to support the rookie quarterback. If 397 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 2: you're gonna win, you need complimentary football. And they have 398 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 2: the defense. The defense did their part. They created turnovers, 399 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:34,119 Speaker 2: they scored points, and then special teams. Special teams was 400 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 2: out there doing their part as well, creating short fields. 401 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 2: I think they had a block punt in there, and 402 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 2: it was really cool to see. Caleb Williams is the 403 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 2: first number one overall quarterback selected to win his first 404 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,640 Speaker 2: game since David Carr did it in two thousand and two. 405 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 2: That's a long time, and there's been a lot of 406 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 2: There's been a few quarterbacks pick number one since then. 407 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 2: It's really tough to come into this league and win 408 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,440 Speaker 2: as a rookie quarterback with the high heightened expectations everything. 409 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 2: People they've been talking about this kid for the last 410 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,160 Speaker 2: two three years about how he's gonna set the league 411 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,159 Speaker 2: on fire. So of course I'm sure he's disappointed. But 412 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 2: the most important thing when it's all said and done 413 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,920 Speaker 2: is wins and losses. When you win, you get to 414 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 2: go back to the draw, You get to go back 415 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 2: to the film room correct the things you need to correct. 416 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,199 Speaker 2: But you're very happy. That plane ride is better, the 417 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 2: bus ride is better, the practice week is better because 418 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 2: you got the win. Now you may learn better lessons 419 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 2: and a loss, but man, it feels good to start 420 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 2: your career off with a win. So congratulations to the 421 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:39,160 Speaker 2: Chicago Bears and Caleb Williams starting it off with a win. 422 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 2: And that brings me to my next segment, brought to 423 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:46,879 Speaker 2: you by Uber Eats, The Almost Almost Perfect Defense, where 424 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 2: we highlight the NFL defense that put on the week's 425 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 2: most dominating performance this week. It was a tough goal 426 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 2: because I thought the Seattle Seahawks had a chance. Their 427 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 2: defense played really well. But you gotta give it to 428 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 2: that shit Caigo Bears defense. I mean, they outscored their 429 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,399 Speaker 2: offense this game. Tyreek Stevenson had a forty three yard 430 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 2: interception for a touchdown. We talked to Jalen Johnson before 431 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:12,920 Speaker 2: the season and he said he feels really good about 432 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 2: this defense, and I can see why these guys creating turnovers. 433 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 2: They're playing fast, they're playing they're believing in one another. 434 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 2: Jalen Johnson gets him a pick in his first game 435 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,680 Speaker 2: wearing the one instead of thirty three. It looks kind 436 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,880 Speaker 2: of crazy, but I'm happy for him. I can't wait 437 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 2: to see what this defense does. It seems like they're 438 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 2: poised to have another big year. Like I said, they 439 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 2: go to Houston to play c. J. Stroud and in Houston, Texans, 440 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,360 Speaker 2: that's gonna be a big time test. If they can 441 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 2: pass that, we're gonna start having those good conversations about him. 442 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 2: And I mean, either way, that's the cool thing about 443 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 2: the season. Either CJ. Stroud and those guys are gonna 444 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 2: prove they're legit and Chicago isn't, or this defense is 445 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,639 Speaker 2: gonna show we're the real deal and we're gonna be 446 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 2: contenders this year. And but this game, Kennill Williams is 447 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 2: gonna have to do better. He's gonna have to have 448 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 2: more than ninety three yards passing. He has too many 449 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 2: weapons on the outside. They're gonna need more than that 450 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 2: if they're gonna be CJ. Stroud in his high powered 451 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 2: offense for the Houston Texans, I'm excited about it. It 452 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,119 Speaker 2: was a really great performance from the front end to 453 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 2: the back end. Played a really sound, complete ball game. 454 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,160 Speaker 2: Kept believing even when it didn't seem like things were 455 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,640 Speaker 2: gonna get going for their offense. They continue to fight, 456 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 2: They continued to make plays, they continued to turn the tie, 457 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,679 Speaker 2: and in the fourth quarter it started going their favor. 458 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 2: When Jalen Johnson got that interception to seal the game, 459 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 2: it just felt like they deserved it. It felt like 460 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 2: the momentum had been earned, not just luckily our tip 461 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 2: passes or anything like that, like it had been earned 462 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,679 Speaker 2: great coverage. You gotta give eber Flus a lot of credit. 463 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 2: He's been calling that defense and they've been the number 464 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 2: one defense since Week eight of last season and they 465 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 2: continue where they left off last season. Incredible game by them. 466 00:25:55,800 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 2: That's this week's almost almost perfect defense of the week.

Order Now, 469 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,639 Speaker 2: now let's move on to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers versus 470 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:18,919 Speaker 2: the Washington Commanders. Jaden Daniels debut, Baker Mayfield and the 471 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 2: Tampa Bay Buccaneers a lot of question marks in the offseason, 472 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,199 Speaker 2: but again, as long as he has Mike Evans and 473 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 2: Chris Godwin, he's gonna have a chance to be great. 474 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:34,479 Speaker 2: And the Tampa Bay Buccaneers believe in Baker Mayfield and 475 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:38,480 Speaker 2: he's shown he's rewarding their belief. Twenty four of thirty 476 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 2: two eighty nine, four touchdowns, no interceptions, Chris Godwin eight catches, 477 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,120 Speaker 2: one hundred and three yards and a touchdown, Mike Evans 478 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 2: five receptions, sixty one yards and two touchdowns. It's gonna 479 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 2: be a great year for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That 480 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:59,679 Speaker 2: defense looked like they were everywhere. Todd Bowles was drawing 481 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,640 Speaker 2: it up in a big way. But it was really 482 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 2: a fun game to watch if you're a Washington Commander's fan, 483 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 2: because you haven't had much to cheer about over the 484 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 2: last few years. You haven't had a great quarterback that 485 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 2: you really believed in and that you really can could 486 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 2: stand behind. And Jade and Daniels showed a lot of 487 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 2: promise in his debut. Seventeen to twenty four one and 488 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 2: eighty four yards, no touchdowns, no interceptions, but the eighty 489 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 2: eight yards rushing and the two rushing touchdowns were really incredible. 490 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,640 Speaker 2: Bobby Wagner, the future Hall of Famer, the ten time 491 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 2: All Pro, had ten tackles three TFLs, looked really solid 492 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 2: in his debut with the Washington Commanders. Looked like he 493 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 2: always looks. But if you're a Washington Commander's fan, you 494 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 2: should not be discouraged at all by this. The Tampa 495 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 2: Bay Buccaneers are a good team. They have a lot 496 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 2: of offensive weapons. Baker Mayfield has found his home he found 497 00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 2: a place where he can thrive. It's the right system, 498 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:03,200 Speaker 2: it's the right environment. Receivers do not be discouraged because 499 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,400 Speaker 2: Jalen Daniels looked like he was figuring it out late 500 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:11,160 Speaker 2: in this game. Uh, he he did. He didn't turn 501 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,200 Speaker 2: the ball over. He didn't look overwhelmed. Dealing with Todd 502 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 2: Bowles's defense is very tough, especially as a rookie coming 503 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 2: in your first game, and to deal with the looks 504 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 2: that Todd Bowles gives where he aligns people. Levonte David 505 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 2: Steele one of the best players in the National Football League. 506 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 2: You're not. You're dealing with one of the best safeties 507 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 2: in the National Football League and Antoine Winfield junior. It's 508 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,160 Speaker 2: there's so many things working against him. So let's let's 509 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 2: give him a week, let him get some growth. Next week, 510 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 2: the Commanders played the New York Giants. That should be 511 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 2: a better barometer for him. Daniel Jones struggled in his 512 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 2: debut versus the Minnesota Vikings. Got out played handily by 513 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 2: Sam Darnold in MetLife Stadium. I meant, at one point 514 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 2: I heard him call call Sam Donald like Donald Dimes said. 515 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 2: Oh she Donald Dimes respect almost felt like we were 516 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 2: in an alternate universe like Sam Donald's at MetLife playing really well. 517 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:13,239 Speaker 2: I know New York Jets fans were somewhere fuming about that, 518 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 2: but hey, sometimes that you need to go on your 519 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 2: journey and figure it out, and that's what Sam Donald 520 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 2: did Minnesota Vikings. But I think there's a light at 521 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 2: the end of the tunnel for the Washington Commanders. I 522 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 2: look forward to seeing how he plays against the New 523 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 2: York Giants. The Bucks are at the Detroit Lions. That's 524 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 2: a game I'm also looking forward to seeing because they 525 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 2: have become a juggernaut of a team. The Detroit Lions 526 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 2: are here to stay. That's going to be a fun matchup. 527 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 2: And again another measuring stick game for the Tampa Bay 528 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 2: Buccaneers and Baker Mayfield. How far have we really come? 529 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 2: Because they get that win, then we start throwing round 530 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 2: words like contender for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, not just 531 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 2: contending in the NFC South, but contending amongst the top 532 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 2: team in the NFC. But we're still early. We're still early. 533 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 2: Let's not get premature about these predictions, but those are 534 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 2: the kind of things that start to happen when you 535 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 2: get pig wins like that. Now we got to go 536 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 2: backwards a little bit to our Friday night game. The 537 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 2: international game in Brazil between the Philadelphia Eagles and the 538 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 2: Green Bay Packers was a really tight ball game. I 539 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,440 Speaker 2: mean a lot of offense early on. Sakuon Barkley looked 540 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 2: really great in his Eagles debut, made big plays in 541 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 2: the passing game, had huge runs. Looked right at home 542 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 2: with the Philadelphia Eagles. Jordan Love looked really solid throughout 543 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 2: most of his game. Had two touchdown pass through for 544 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 2: two hundred and sixty yards. Josh Jacobs looked good running 545 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 2: the ball for the Green Bay Packers. Rashan Gary was 546 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 2: a minace. You could see playmakers in the back end 547 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 2: of that Green Bay Packers defense. The secondary. Xavier McKinney 548 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 2: had an interception. Jay r Alexander had an interception, but 549 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 2: they had their hands out absolutely full with Devonte Smith 550 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 2: and all day always opened AJ Brown. AJ Brown had 551 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 2: five catches for one to nineteen and the touchdown. SA 552 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 2: Kwana had twenty four rushes for one o nine, two 553 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 2: rushing touchdowns, two receptions twenty three yards and a reception TD. 554 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 2: But the big storyline, obviously the Philadelphia Eagles came out 555 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 2: victorious in a tight ball game, but Jordan Love leaves 556 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 2: the game with an MCL injury. Heartbreaking. You never know 557 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 2: how these things go. As somebody who's experienced an MCL injury, 558 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 2: it's not fun. It hurts. You gotta put that dang 559 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 2: knee brace on the spot. The knee braces in is 560 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 2: the spot that the MCL usually tears. So it's a 561 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 2: lot of discomfort. They're saying he's out three to six weeks. 562 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,479 Speaker 2: How they survived this time with him out is going 563 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 2: to tell their story because Elik Willis hasn't had a 564 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 2: chance to develop. I think I don't think the Green 565 00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:00,719 Speaker 2: Bay Packers were expecting to have to put League Willis 566 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 2: in this situation this soon into the season. I think 567 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 2: they were looking to develop him a little bit more, 568 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 2: watch Jordan Love a little bit more, not just throw 569 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 2: him in. But they're gonna have to figure it out 570 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,480 Speaker 2: because this is these are the circumstances they're at right now. 571 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 2: They don't have a choice. But the Philadelphia Eagles look 572 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 2: like they're back in a big way. But this year, 573 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,640 Speaker 2: we've got a new segment that we're bringing to you. 574 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,520 Speaker 2: We're bringing a new segment. It's called Players in Prime Time. 575 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 2: It's brought to you by our partners at Brightling. You 576 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:42,160 Speaker 2: know prime Time, Brightling one of Switzerland's most luxurious watchmakers. 577 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 2: This week, it's of course Saquon Barkley, who shined in 578 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 2: his Eagles debut. Eagles fans are so I know you're 579 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 2: so excited about Saquon because you never know how how 580 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 2: big time exhisitions. I know, all off season we're talking 581 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 2: about how Saquon going to do as an Eagle. They 582 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 2: got so many weapons, and sometimes those things don't work out. 583 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,560 Speaker 2: But this time it worked out in a big way, 584 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:05,680 Speaker 2: especially in his debut first Eagle with one hundred yards rushing, 585 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 2: hundred plus yards rushing and three tds since Lashawn McCoy 586 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,480 Speaker 2: did it in twenty eleven. That's a long time. That's 587 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 2: a long time. Three total touchdowns, one hundred and thirty 588 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 2: two total yards in the Eagles Prime Time win over 589 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 2: the Green Bay Packers in Brazil, se Quon's first three 590 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:30,880 Speaker 2: touchdown game since his rookie season. Is this gonna be 591 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:35,560 Speaker 2: the best year of his career? M uh oh? Did 592 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 2: they unlock a new level to Saquon Barkley. We're about 593 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 2: to find out a sa Quon as our first Primetime 594 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 2: Player of the Week. I don't think there's a better 595 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,480 Speaker 2: way to celebrate and show your team spirit than to 596 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,600 Speaker 2: go to brightland dot com and get you one of 597 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 2: the few select Eagles themed Chrono sports watches available. I 598 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 2: got my Seahawks and Niners watch is coming in the mail. 599 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 2: I can't wait for him to get here, because you know, 600 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 2: as soon as they get here, I'm putting them on 601 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:09,239 Speaker 2: the pod. They're exclusive. They're exclusive, so get them while 602 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,279 Speaker 2: you can, baby. But overall, it was a really great 603 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,480 Speaker 2: game by the Eagles in a solid game by the 604 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,880 Speaker 2: Green Bay Packers. But whenever you lose your quarterback, that's 605 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:22,160 Speaker 2: a very quiet, very sad ride home nine hours back 606 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,880 Speaker 2: to Green Bay, Wisconsin. They got a date with the 607 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:29,200 Speaker 2: Indianapolis Colts next week with Malik Willis at the helm. 608 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:33,239 Speaker 2: I believe we'll see how that goes. The Eagles go 609 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:37,760 Speaker 2: to the Atlanta Falcons, who are coming off a really, 610 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:44,320 Speaker 2: really tough loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. In justin Fields, 611 00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:48,160 Speaker 2: our next game, the Pittsburgh Steelers versus the Atlanta Falcons 612 00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:50,960 Speaker 2: a much different game than I thought it would be. 613 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:57,840 Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin. Mike Tomlin, Mike Tomlin. I mean, you gotta 614 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,480 Speaker 2: be lead leading for coach of the year right now. 615 00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,439 Speaker 2: I know there's teams that are better, are played better 616 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:08,440 Speaker 2: in the first game, etc. Etc. But to name a 617 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:13,319 Speaker 2: guy your starter at quarterback and then have to say, hey, 618 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 2: the starter isn't going to be able to play because 619 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,680 Speaker 2: he got injured. This week, We're going on the road 620 00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:22,359 Speaker 2: against an Atlanta team that's really talented, got a really 621 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:26,120 Speaker 2: good quarterback, just got some really great pieces on defense. 622 00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,080 Speaker 2: And you know what Mike Domind said, Yeah, we're still 623 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:32,719 Speaker 2: gonna win this one. Their defense holds the Atlanta Falcons 624 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:36,120 Speaker 2: and Kirk Cousins to ten points the Pittsburgh I mean 625 00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 2: TJ Watt. If he's not player of the Year after 626 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:43,840 Speaker 2: this performance, I don't know who is. I mean, I 627 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:45,919 Speaker 2: want to say he had probably five sacks in the game, 628 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,839 Speaker 2: and they negated three of them with penalties. I mean 629 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:53,160 Speaker 2: sack force fumbles, game changing plays, penalties bring it back. 630 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,520 Speaker 2: And he still was wrecking the game, both in the 631 00:35:56,640 --> 00:36:01,799 Speaker 2: past game and the run game. It's just incredible to 632 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 2: watch him. Alex Hydge Smith, Cam Hayward, that defensive line, 633 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:12,400 Speaker 2: Minka Fitzpatrick There's just so many playmakers that defense refused 634 00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,520 Speaker 2: to lose. And on the other side, you had Justin 635 00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:19,879 Speaker 2: Fields who did everything he needed to do to help 636 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:24,400 Speaker 2: this team win. Chris Boswell made six field goals in 637 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,640 Speaker 2: his game. I mean, there's many ways to win a 638 00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:30,640 Speaker 2: ball game, and I'm starting to find out every which 639 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,680 Speaker 2: way it can be done. Mike Tomlin has and will do, 640 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 2: and this team continues to impress. Justin Field seventeen of 641 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,600 Speaker 2: twenty three one hundred and fifty six yards, ran the 642 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:45,480 Speaker 2: ball fourteen times for fifty six yards. Naji Harris twenty 643 00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:48,640 Speaker 2: rushers for seventy yards, George Pickens six for eighty five 644 00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:52,320 Speaker 2: but TJ. Watt a sack, two tackles for a loss, 645 00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,480 Speaker 2: three quarterback hits. But it just does not tell the 646 00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,799 Speaker 2: story of how impactful he was in this ball game. 647 00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:03,879 Speaker 2: He was everywhere. He wrecked this game in a big way, 648 00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:07,040 Speaker 2: and he's a big reason why the Pittsburgh Steelers won 649 00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:10,240 Speaker 2: this game eighteen to ten. I look forward to seeing 650 00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:14,600 Speaker 2: can they tailored this offense a little bit more to 651 00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:17,960 Speaker 2: what Justin Fields does. I think it was late in 652 00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:21,320 Speaker 2: the week they lost Russell Wilson, they weren't able to 653 00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:26,080 Speaker 2: develop a game plan around Justin Fields and his unique talents. 654 00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,520 Speaker 2: So they just continued with the game plan they would 655 00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,879 Speaker 2: have used with Russell Wilson, and thank god it worked out. 656 00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,920 Speaker 2: Justin Fields didn't play the best ball game, but he 657 00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,879 Speaker 2: didn't turn the ball over gave them a chance. This 658 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,640 Speaker 2: defense did everything they needed to do. Kirk Cousins didn't 659 00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,160 Speaker 2: play his greatest game in sixteen of twenty six one 660 00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:48,280 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty five yards, a TD and two interceptions. 661 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,920 Speaker 2: I'm sure they wish they could have used Vajon Robinson Moore. 662 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,080 Speaker 2: He had eighteen rushers for sixty eight yards, five catches 663 00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:58,000 Speaker 2: for forty three yards, but it just didn't feel like 664 00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:00,759 Speaker 2: it didn't feel like he was as much as he 665 00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,560 Speaker 2: could have been, especially in a past game. Grady Jared 666 00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:05,640 Speaker 2: had a good game with a sack and a half. 667 00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:10,040 Speaker 2: Their defense played solid for the Falcons. Anytime both teams 668 00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:13,440 Speaker 2: defense kept the other offense under twenty points, that's a 669 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:18,759 Speaker 2: good game for a defense. But Pittsburgh Mike Tomlin's going 670 00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:23,200 Speaker 2: what seventeen years without having a losing season. I mean, 671 00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:26,240 Speaker 2: you talk about to go to the coach, I believe, 672 00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,680 Speaker 2: regardless of who's that quarterback, if you got Mike Tomlin 673 00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:31,640 Speaker 2: after him, you got a chance. And I know that 674 00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:36,759 Speaker 2: Pittsburgh fans feel the same way. This was as cool 675 00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:38,520 Speaker 2: as a win as I'm sure he's had in his 676 00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:43,479 Speaker 2: career because of the circumstances that they were under. What 677 00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,920 Speaker 2: most teams are losing this game. If you're starting quarterback 678 00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:50,200 Speaker 2: goes down the week of this first game and your 679 00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,720 Speaker 2: backup comes in, you got to change the game plan. 680 00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:56,600 Speaker 2: But these guys, these Pittsburgh Steelers, they believe in a 681 00:38:56,600 --> 00:39:00,840 Speaker 2: different way. Those terrible towels were waving in at It 682 00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:03,440 Speaker 2: was crazy to watch, and they came through with a big, 683 00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:08,200 Speaker 2: big time victory. Now they go to travel to bow Knicks, 684 00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:11,680 Speaker 2: Sean Payton and those Denver Broncos. Coming off a tough 685 00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:15,160 Speaker 2: loss in Seattle. I don't think the next thing you 686 00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:16,880 Speaker 2: want to see is TJ. Watt, but that's what you're 687 00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,320 Speaker 2: gonna see. I think the Pittsburgh Steelers come out of 688 00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:21,759 Speaker 2: there would have win, and to start the season two 689 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:25,240 Speaker 2: and zero. With all the turmoil, all the conversations about 690 00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:28,560 Speaker 2: the quarterback, who you're gonna pick is gonna be Russell Wilson, 691 00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:33,400 Speaker 2: is gonna be justin fields, they're underwhelming preseason debuts and 692 00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,040 Speaker 2: preseason games. What is the offense gonna look like for 693 00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,760 Speaker 2: them to come out and win and quiet the doubters 694 00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:41,239 Speaker 2: to a degree and potentially go to Denver and get 695 00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:46,560 Speaker 2: a second win. Again, that's gonna put Mike Tomlin in 696 00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:50,040 Speaker 2: the driver's seat for a coach of the year. Being 697 00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:54,600 Speaker 2: able to do that under the circumstances with the conversations 698 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:59,040 Speaker 2: that were surrounding this team throughout the offseason. The Falcons 699 00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 2: are going to the Eagles on Monday Night Football. That 700 00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,480 Speaker 2: seems like a really tough environment to get a win. 701 00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:06,560 Speaker 2: At the beginning of the season. In the preseason, I 702 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:08,960 Speaker 2: thought I would see that Atlanta Falcons taking the next step. 703 00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:12,360 Speaker 2: But if they start this season one two, then I 704 00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,880 Speaker 2: think you're gonna start to hear people call from Michael 705 00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,719 Speaker 2: Pennix Junior to get an opportunity at quarterback, and I 706 00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,239 Speaker 2: know you can't do it. You can't do it. He 707 00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:23,000 Speaker 2: can't take fifty million dollars off the field. So hopefully 708 00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,040 Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins plays better in the next couple games and 709 00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:29,640 Speaker 2: things go right for this team or else, these conversations 710 00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:31,600 Speaker 2: are not gonna be fun that you're gonna have to 711 00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:35,040 Speaker 2: have about that Atlanta Falcons in their situation at quarterback. 712 00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,400 Speaker 2: Now for our final segment of the day, the Ovation 713 00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:43,160 Speaker 2: of the Day segment sponsored by Ovation for Men. This 714 00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:47,719 Speaker 2: week's ovation is for JK. Dobbins oh Man. It was 715 00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:52,200 Speaker 2: such an impressive game for him two years of injuries 716 00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,360 Speaker 2: and fighting back to get back in the league and 717 00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:57,560 Speaker 2: get back where he needs to be. Four yards in 718 00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:59,800 Speaker 2: the first half, one hundred and thirty one yards in 719 00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:04,680 Speaker 2: the second half. Ten carries had a huge part of 720 00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:10,120 Speaker 2: this LA Chargers win. Jim Harpball's returned to the NFL. 721 00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:15,319 Speaker 2: He and Greg Roman. He and Greg Roman, they know 722 00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:18,560 Speaker 2: the formula for winning this game. Whatever you may say, 723 00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:21,320 Speaker 2: whatever I may say about him, they know how to 724 00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:25,280 Speaker 2: win in this game. You run the football and Greg 725 00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:28,360 Speaker 2: Roman is one of the best at drawing up runs. 726 00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:31,320 Speaker 2: And if you go back and turn on that old 727 00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:35,720 Speaker 2: San Francisco forty nine ers tape from twenty eleven, twenty twelve, 728 00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:39,840 Speaker 2: twenty thirteen, you're gonna see a lot of these same runs, 729 00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:43,279 Speaker 2: except the person getting the ball was Frank Gore and 730 00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:46,080 Speaker 2: the person handing it off is Colin Kaepernick, and you 731 00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:49,720 Speaker 2: see it out of the pistol. The pistol the pistol 732 00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:54,759 Speaker 2: win an offset back. It's it's really cool that they're 733 00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:58,200 Speaker 2: able to take this team, run the football, limit the 734 00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:01,319 Speaker 2: amount of time their defense on the field. Then that 735 00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:04,120 Speaker 2: defense showed up in a big way and we're able 736 00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:07,640 Speaker 2: to make huge plays. Joey Bosa seven tackles in a sack, 737 00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:11,200 Speaker 2: Khalil Mack a sack and a half. But they were 738 00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:16,320 Speaker 2: impactful all day. But the story of the day and 739 00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:21,520 Speaker 2: ovation obviously goes to JK. Dobbins coming back making that 740 00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,680 Speaker 2: kind of impact. You weren't expecting that from him. He 741 00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,560 Speaker 2: hadn't shown that. He hadn't got an opportunity like this 742 00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:29,719 Speaker 2: in a long time. I just want to send a 743 00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:36,840 Speaker 2: heartfelt congratulations to JK. Dobbins. Ovation for Man celebrates the style, creativity, 744 00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:40,719 Speaker 2: and excellence of deserving men.

But 748 00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:59,120 Speaker 2: the Chargers are back. The Raiders look pretty solid with 749 00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:02,520 Speaker 2: Gardner Minshew twenty five at thirty three two hundred and 750 00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:06,480 Speaker 2: fifty seven yards, one touchdown, one interception, very costly. DeVante 751 00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:11,840 Speaker 2: Adams five receptions for fifty nine yards. Just not enough, 752 00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:17,200 Speaker 2: not enough defense being played. You know, some bonehead plays 753 00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:19,920 Speaker 2: throughout the game. There was a fight between Jack Jones 754 00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:24,279 Speaker 2: and Josh Palmer. It just just didn't seem like it 755 00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:27,400 Speaker 2: was necessary in this situation. But I think for the 756 00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,480 Speaker 2: first time, the Chargers have a coach that's capable of 757 00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:33,920 Speaker 2: taking this team and allowing them to live up to 758 00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:37,800 Speaker 2: their potential. They're gonna run the football now, justin Herbert's 759 00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:41,319 Speaker 2: stats may take a hit, because that's not what we're 760 00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,879 Speaker 2: playing for. We're not playing for stats. Jim Harball doesn't 761 00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:45,839 Speaker 2: play for stats. He's not trying to throw the ball 762 00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:48,560 Speaker 2: one hundred times a game and oh four or five 763 00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:51,400 Speaker 2: hundred yards passing. They're trying to run the football in 764 00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:55,200 Speaker 2: a very effective way with Greg Roman schemed up runs 765 00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,479 Speaker 2: in this offensive line. They're trying to shorten the game. 766 00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:02,400 Speaker 2: They're trying to play really great defense and showcase the 767 00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:05,359 Speaker 2: these pass rushers that they have, and I think that's 768 00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:07,120 Speaker 2: what they're gonna be able to do. I think they're 769 00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:09,240 Speaker 2: gonna be a tough out for a lot of these teams, 770 00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:12,360 Speaker 2: especially within the division, to deal with the the Denver 771 00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:15,000 Speaker 2: Broncos and the Kansas City Chiefs are gonna have to 772 00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:17,440 Speaker 2: deal with the Chargers in a much different way than 773 00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:19,759 Speaker 2: they have in the past, and I'm looking forward to 774 00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:23,160 Speaker 2: seeing that. So congratulations to Jim Harball and the LA 775 00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:26,040 Speaker 2: Chargers getting a big time win versus the Las Vegas 776 00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:29,880 Speaker 2: Raiders in a division game. I'm sure down the line 777 00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:33,279 Speaker 2: that that win is gonna matter. That win might be 778 00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:35,920 Speaker 2: the great separator in the playoffs. Next week, the Chargers 779 00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:41,360 Speaker 2: go to the Carolina Panthers, who looked who looked, I 780 00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:45,200 Speaker 2: mean pretty awful in this game against the Saints. They 781 00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:48,520 Speaker 2: had a blowout loss. I look for the Chargers to 782 00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:51,200 Speaker 2: start this season two to zero. The Raiders go to 783 00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:55,800 Speaker 2: a very very tough environment with a Baltimore Ravens team 784 00:44:56,040 --> 00:45:00,680 Speaker 2: coming off a heartbreaking last second law to the Kansas 785 00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:03,880 Speaker 2: City Chiefs. They're gonna be motivated, They're gonna be fired up. 786 00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:07,720 Speaker 2: It's gonna be a tough place for the the Raiders 787 00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:09,960 Speaker 2: come in and win. But this is a National Football 788 00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:13,120 Speaker 2: League and anything can happen at any given week, any 789 00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:16,800 Speaker 2: given Sunday.
