We On Friday 16 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: we talked about how exciting, uh this week was going 17 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 1: to be, and it has been fighting but a little 18 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 1: bit of a bummer that a lot of injuries this week. 19 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 1: That seems to be the big plot line right now, 20 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 1: right Greg? Uh, Yeah, Tomathing Just the names that were injured, Ray, Rice, 21 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: Andre Johnson, help me out, Stephen Stephen Jackson, Brandon Weedon, 22 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: you gotta throw in there, you gotta throw it when 23 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: we talk big names. Uh, Andre Andre Johnson is another one. Uh, 24 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 1: and just on and on it went. And so hopefully 25 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 1: a lot of these don't seem like they're too too serious, 26 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: you know. Um, but we'll have to find out during 27 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: the week. Yeah. So that, Yeah, that will be a 28 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 1: big point of this week is seeing some of these 29 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: key guys how long they'll be out, if they're out 30 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,960 Speaker 1: at all. But I guess we'll do what we did 31 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 1: last week. We'll go through Every week, we get assigned 32 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: to two or three games each which we follow closely. Um, 33 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: so we'll go around the room here and we'll talk 34 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: about the games that we watched, and we'll cover every 35 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: game today, and uh, why don't we start start in 36 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: Atlanta where the Falcons beat the Rams. Th Chris Westling 37 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: was watching that and once he got here from Cessler's Dungeon, 38 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: so the game wasn't nearly as close as the box 39 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,519 Speaker 1: score might show. Falcons jumped out to a big lead 40 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: and basically runaway, ran away and hid for a while. 41 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,919 Speaker 1: Julio Jones was the story of the game. He was unstoppable. 42 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan threw for the second most yards of his 43 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,920 Speaker 1: career and only got sacked twice, but he still took 44 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: He still took a beating from the Rams defensive front, 45 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: so I think the offensive lines an issue there, and 46 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: the Falcons had trouble running the ball. That was their 47 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 1: fewest yards in a win, a win in franchise history. 48 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: Stephen Jackson left after only three carries. The team did 49 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,239 Speaker 1: not update his injury after the game. Croy Bierman also 50 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: got hurt. Are you concerned about this running game? You know? 51 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 1: Moving forward? I am uh. I didn't think that Steven 52 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: Jackson looked all that great in Week one. He had 53 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: that one fifty yard run where it was a huge 54 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: gaping hole to kind of hold that Michael Turner used 55 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: to run through. But um, outside of that one fifty 56 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: yard run, Falcon running backs of average one point eight 57 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: six yards to carry this year. Let me ask you 58 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: a quick question, because I looked quickly at the box 59 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 1: score saw the Tabon Austin had two touchdowns. But I 60 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: haven't really seen a lot of him this season. What 61 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: are your takeaways? He wasn't involved until the game got 62 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: out of hand in the in the Rams started playing 63 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 1: catch up and passing all over the place. I think 64 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 1: they're probably he probably doesn't know the offense quite well 65 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: enough yet to the point that they can unleash him. 66 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: It might take a few more weeks before that they 67 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 1: were ready to do that. Passes for Bradford trying to 68 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:34,519 Speaker 1: come back. That was one of those games that just 69 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,839 Speaker 1: kind of over before it started. Yeah, and they both 70 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: those teams are now one and one, so they're both 71 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: in okay shape heading into week three. Okay, let's move on. 72 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: Let's move to Baltimore. The Ravens beat up, well, they 73 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: didn't beat up on the Browns, but they beat them 74 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: fourteen six. Mark Sessler, Poor Mark Sessler, who predicted four 75 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: and twelve, then hedged his bet, came back read an 76 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: official statement saying eight and eight. Let's start to look 77 00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: a little bit like we could have a four and twelve. 78 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: Is that fair to say? Well, it's I think it's 79 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: a little early to go that dire. You were pretty 80 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: dire in the dark in the last week or two. 81 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: I've seen the Jets and Greg's team in the in 82 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 1: the Dolphins have all these you know, glorious victories today. 83 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: It happened for one of our friends that's a Bills fan. 84 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: Cleveland has been left out in the dark. But I 85 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: do look at this game objectively and I see something 86 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 1: hopeful for Cleveland, which is a defense that at halftime 87 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: was up. They were up six nothing. They completely shut 88 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: down Baltimore, but they don't seem to have the confidence 89 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: as a team to hold onto that kind of situation. 90 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: Their defense is has a lot of talent. They seem 91 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: completely differently coached than the offense that wandering no game plan. 92 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: The Browns continually seemed to drive once or twice and 93 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 1: then they lose whatever foothold they had. They wander from 94 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: it entirely. There's no game plan on offense. Here's my question, 95 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: because I know Josh Gordon up being there's a big deal. 96 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: But what happened to all the talk before the season 97 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: began about North, Turner and Shud and how they were 98 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: going to bring a real offense. It's from what we're 99 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: seeing in the box score, at least, this team is 100 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 1: not doing anything offense. I think it really you know, 101 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: it's funny. There was that day a couple of weeks 102 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,840 Speaker 1: ago when I wrote a post about UH two guards 103 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: for Cleveland being injured and what was a deep offensive 104 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 1: line suddenly as thin. They've given up eleven sacks in 105 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 1: two games. They give up five today. They gave up 106 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 1: six last week. Last week was not an anomaly. They 107 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: have real issues and they can't sustain a passing game. 108 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: Weeden was running for his life. He left with a 109 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 1: thumb injury at the end of the game, and until 110 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: they fixed that, I'm not sure what the answer is, 111 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: and he might not start next week. I doubt he would. Frankly, 112 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: what's up is this all weed in with the five 113 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: sacks and what's up with Trent Richardson? Are we the 114 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: expectation is going to be lowered for him at some 115 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: point where we think it's just a team around him. 116 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: You know, It's funny. There was a point a little 117 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: bit after halftime where every single time that Weeden lined 118 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 1: up under center, it was a run. I think their 119 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: offense is blatantly predictable right now that it's it's easy 120 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: for teams to see Richardson's getting the ball here, and 121 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 1: he bottled up behind the line of scrimmage half the time. 122 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: And what about what bet on the Ravens side, What 123 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,039 Speaker 1: did you see from that. You know, I think that 124 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: the Ravens liked by the way, you told me that 125 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,280 Speaker 1: Joe Flacco's wife had a baby shortly before the game, 126 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,159 Speaker 1: and it was your assertion that if Flacco played well, 127 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: it would mean that he was not a good family man. 128 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 1: I like that. Well, yeah, that's that's tilted my message 129 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: to some degree. I thought that either was gonna play 130 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: with him in a negative or a positive way. You know, 131 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,799 Speaker 1: he's ice, he's guys, cold waters running through the flac 132 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: of veins. He just went out and he produced. But 133 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 1: the Ravens, I think, you know what we saw against 134 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: the Broncos, there was some carry over where they still 135 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: don't quite have an answer in the passing game across 136 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,720 Speaker 1: from Tory Smith, but Marlon Brown, who we've talked about 137 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 1: a bunch. West had brought his name up a lot 138 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: over the summer. You know, I saw something from me 139 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: as two touchdowns in two games. He gives them a 140 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: better option than anyone else. I think. On the other side, 141 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: you know, and Tory Smith cannot do it alone. That's 142 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 1: the Whites. My one takeaway from watching two Ravens games, 143 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: Darryl Smith has to be the best late off season 144 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: addition I can think of. I mean he's been fantastic. Yeah, 145 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: their defense was very solid. How good was Jordan Cameron Cameron? 146 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: I mean that is another bright spot, you know, with 147 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: Gordon coming back. They actually I think Cameron is the 148 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: is the most productive target on this team. He's got 149 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: something four teen catches, two hundred and three yards and 150 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: a touchdown in two games. Offseason hyped actually in our 151 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: you know, we had a making the leap candidate with Cameron. 152 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: He's paid off. Cessler and Dan are trying to say 153 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: this season is over. Dan predicted the Browns would win 154 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: nine games. Browns fans come tweet at Mark and Dan 155 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: and say, it's only o and two. There's I mean games. 156 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 1: I brought a few positive points up, it's it's there's 157 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: issues here. Yeah, the Browns. For my prediction to be accurate, uh, 158 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: they would have to go nine and five from this 159 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: point onwards and beyond that, forget about that one, the 160 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: Brandon Weed in four thousand yards there to touchdown prediction. 161 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: That one's looking really grim. Mark, you also did the 162 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills thrilling over the Carolina Panthers in Orchard Park. 163 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: My hero pick hero right here, you tell me about 164 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: that game. Congrat stand number one. You've bounced back this 165 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: week on the picks you have UH. For me, this 166 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 1: was actually very weird, ugly game up until EJ. Manuel 167 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: went on a torrid nine play eighty yard march with 168 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 1: the inside the two minute warning with no time outs left. 169 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 1: You know, I look at the bills and it's it 170 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,559 Speaker 1: reminds me a little bit of what the Seahawks did 171 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,679 Speaker 1: with Russell Wilson very early last season, where he was 172 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: real hemmed in. They didn't dump the whole playbook manual. Also, 173 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: I think has been given a simplified offense to work with. Uh. 174 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: I think they're ready to open that up a little bit. 175 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 1: I saw him actually not play very well in the 176 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,079 Speaker 1: first half of this game. His throws were off. Him 177 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: and Cam Newton both really struggled early. But in a 178 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: big moment, it's hard not to be happy for Bufalos 179 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: fan base because that stadium utterly melted when Manuel. They 180 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: haven't seen a good quarterback in two decades, and you know, 181 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,199 Speaker 1: it's a little bit of hope and they have someone. 182 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: I think that they believe they can build the offense around. 183 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 1: That's a positive. Good defense by the Panthers give me 184 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 1: a Cam Newton update at least, I mean this, well, 185 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: this is tough. I think their offensive performance. I know 186 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: they picked it up later in the game what I 187 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: saw because last last week obviously that offensive performance was 188 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 1: a dire mess. And I think that Newton through only 189 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,439 Speaker 1: three passes more than ten yards, they definitely went down 190 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,199 Speaker 1: field more. And for me, it seems at one point 191 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: that when Mike Schula just let Newton play and they 192 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 1: got into like a two minute drill at the end 193 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 1: of the first half, Newton just went to instincts and 194 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 1: he threw the ball and he did a nice job 195 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 1: just pegging targets downfield. That's when it looked like the 196 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 1: Panthers offensive the last few years. But then they reverted 197 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 1: back to this what is an overly conservative attack. And uh, 198 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: I've really I've real concerns for pant There's fans on 199 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: the offensive side the but I'm I'm really bad at 200 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: picking games. I'll say that up top. But the reason 201 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,199 Speaker 1: why I took the Bills is because I thought it 202 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 1: would be close, and I know that Carolina cannot close games, 203 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: and it's been something that's been going on since Newton 204 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 1: has been there. And I guess that's what happened again. Right, 205 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: six games and since the start of last season, they've 206 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: led in the fourth quarter and event and ended up losing. Well, 207 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: expect the Ron Rivera talked to really pick up this week. 208 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: And you know, I'm usually not in favor of saying 209 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 1: close losses are anything more than you know, sometimes it's 210 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 1: just bad luck. But Ron Rivera has shown over and 211 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: over close and game situations that his team is not 212 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,439 Speaker 1: well coached, they're not prepared, and they lose these heartbreakers 213 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: again and again. It's they play more close games because 214 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: they get conservative when they have a lead. Moving on, 215 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:50,199 Speaker 1: I I covered the game Chicago Bears thirty win over 216 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: the Vikings. This is a tough loss for the Vikings. 217 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: Um Martel's Bennett had a sixteen yard reception with ten 218 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,679 Speaker 1: seconds to play, basically salvaging a game in which the 219 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: Bears did not play very well and wet, sloppy conditions 220 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:08,199 Speaker 1: that soldier field UH Minnesota forced four turnovers and lost 221 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: UH in a game they really needed because you know, 222 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: now they're owning to and UH. You know, it's not 223 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 1: a good situation for them. But credit to the Bears 224 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 1: for a second week in a row, basically stole a 225 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,319 Speaker 1: win and they're in a good position right now. Suddenly 226 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 1: Jay Cutler's clutch. You know, that's the funny thing about clutch. 227 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: It's like people want to say this guy's look. You know, 228 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 1: suddenly they're making all the big plays at the end. 229 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: They got some mojo there. Yeah. He Um. He didn't 230 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: play great. He had three turnovers himself, including a lost 231 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: fumble on one of those classic Jay Cutler doesn't protect 232 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 1: the ball well where he got stripped and got picked 233 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 1: up and run in. But to his credit, uh, you know, 234 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:44,560 Speaker 1: he led them down the field at the end in 235 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: his past to Bennett, who, by the way, Bennett, I 236 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 1: think the only thing stopping him from a Pro Bowl 237 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: season and a thousand yards and something close to it 238 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: as an injury. I think he's a great fit in 239 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 1: that offense. And it's clear Cutler trusts him because a 240 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 1: year ago he would have just been forcing the ball 241 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 1: to brand Marshall over and over again in that spot. 242 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: This time he looked elsewhere, and uh, you know they 243 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: got to win for it. Well, they get Cordarold Patterson 244 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,439 Speaker 1: starting out that game with the kickoff return touchdown. Last week, 245 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: they got an Adrian Peterson return touchdown. Their defense, you know, 246 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: turned the ball over and yet they still can't get 247 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: a win. It's it's a rough and Peterson, I know. 248 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: I think he opened the season with the seventies six 249 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: yard run or something about there for a touchdown. He went, 250 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,080 Speaker 1: he ran for a hundred yards exactly twenty for a hundred, 251 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: but was not It didn't make any huge impact plays. 252 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 1: So he's been bottled up pretty well. I think he's 253 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: close to two hundred yards after two games. But if 254 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: he really thinks he's gonna run for yards, he's gonna 255 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: have to have more dynamic plays than he's had. For 256 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 1: the most part, Matt Forte has to be loving the 257 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 1: Mark trust Man effect. He's already one third of the 258 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: way to his reception total from last year. That's true. 259 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: Two lanes own hundred and six yards from scrimmage today 260 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 1: eleven catches. The Vikings have to win with defense and running, 261 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: and that their defense is not playing well. One a 262 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: little nugget from that game in my reading of the 263 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: games after did a lot of reading um, Jared Allen 264 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,079 Speaker 1: was actually on one of the last teams to start 265 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 1: oh and two and go to the playoffs with that 266 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: two thousand and eight Vikings team, and he was walking 267 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: around the locker room after reminding everyone of that, I 268 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: don't see that happening, and uh yeah, two other facts 269 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: that Cutler was sacked one. So it's just been once 270 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 1: in two games, which obviously is a big upgrade from 271 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 1: last season, although that was a little deceiving because he 272 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: did face a lot of pressure. And then Christian Ponder, 273 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: you know, I said on Friday, I thought if he 274 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: had a bad game, you'd start hearing buzz that he 275 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: could be in trouble. I don't think that's gonna happen, 276 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 1: because he did lead the team on three field goal 277 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: drives in the second half that that should have put 278 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 1: the game away, but ultimately didn't. So he played poorly 279 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: in the first half through a pick six, but played 280 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 1: I think well enough in the second half where you're 281 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: not going to see him on the bench at least 282 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 1: in the There's a tour before the game that he's 283 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: on a shorter least than anyone imagined, and that was 284 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: from Jay Glazer. So that that means they're gonna they're 285 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 1: gonna have to start, They're gonna have to start winning. 286 00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,839 Speaker 1: You're probably right that he played well until that'll David, 287 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: But they're gonna have to start winning at some point. 288 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: All right, let's move vio. Let's go to Lambeau where 289 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: the Redskins ran into a buzz saw, didn't they, Chris Westling, 290 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 1: They did, and they're not helping themselves with that uh 291 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: mockery of a defense they're running out there. The Packers 292 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 1: had four offensive players with career highs and yards today 293 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 1: west by the way. Just to interject, you sound like 294 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 1: the voice of a man that slept in a dungeon. 295 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 1: Well it's it's a guesthouse by the way that's furnished 296 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: Kato Kalin of Sessler's neighborhood to life. All right, go ahead, sorry, 297 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 1: so anyway, Yeah, so four players starts James Jones, Randall Cobb, 298 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 1: and Aaron Rodgers head career days today for yards. Uh. 299 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: And this comes after Lashawn McCoy had one yard off 300 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: a career day in the opener Redskins defense. He's allowing 301 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: three two passing yards per game and two hundred one 302 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 1: rushing yards per game. They're terrible. Uh. The other big 303 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 1: takeaway from me was r G three looked pretty much 304 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: like he did in the opener, can't he can't move 305 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: of the offense until the until the game's out of 306 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 1: hand and the defense slacks off a little bit. He's 307 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: uh taken over from Carson Palmer's the garbage garbage time 308 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: king in the NFL. Wow, you don't want to be 309 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 1: compared to garbage Carson Palmer, Robert Griffin the third and 310 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: he's moving about as well as Carson Palmer right now too. 311 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: So you're saying Brandon Merryweather was not the savior for 312 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 1: the Redskins defense. Why did we hear that so much? 313 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 1: It's bizarre. He's one of the worst coverage safeties in 314 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: the NFL, and we just heard all around the news 315 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 1: room and in the media, Brandon Meryweather is going to 316 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 1: be this key to the Redskins defense. Well, there's a 317 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: reason he doesn't stay on the field. He goes after 318 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: late Eddie Lacey knocks him out with a concussion on 319 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 1: a very questionable helmet to helmet hit. Think he'll get 320 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: fine for that, and then he knocks himself out on 321 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: a similar play with James Starks and Merryweather goes out. 322 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 1: I have two quarterback questions for you, West, or maybe 323 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: just statements that maybe you could um add to number one. 324 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is clearly the best quarterback in the planet Earth, right. Yes, 325 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: first became the first quarterback since y A. Tittle in 326 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 1: nineteen sixty two to throw for four touchdowns, four in 327 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: eight yards and no interceptions. That's not bad. And then 328 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 1: my other question is to follow up with r G 329 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: three when you say he's not moving well, is it 330 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 1: because he's not healthy or he doesn't maybe trust himself, Like, 331 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 1: what kind of level of not moving well are we 332 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: talking about? Well? I would say he ran like a 333 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: four three forty before the knee injury. He's probably running 334 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: about a four nine forty now. He's just not fast. 335 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: With RG three, last week, it was throwing off the 336 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 1: front foot. He just looked completely off. Were you seeing 337 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 1: that same thing again today? I wouldn't say to the 338 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 1: extent he did last week. He's but he's not getting 339 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: as much on the he doesn't have the easy gas 340 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: that he had last year. I'm just happy that the 341 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 1: Packers performed well enough to prevent Mark from frothing at 342 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 1: the mouth at them again. I have them going nine 343 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: and seven their one and one. They're right on target. 344 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: Your little pep talk really got got them a little 345 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: fire under and by the way, he threw for yards 346 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, but only tied Matt Flynn. Correct, that's disturbing. 347 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: I heard macarthy. Actually usually you know they put up 348 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: you know, quotes around the locker room of people to 349 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 1: find they actually played our podcast in the locker room 350 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 1: to get the Packers fired up. That was a weird move, 351 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: but it worked. Um, good job by you. And by 352 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: the way, Aaron Rodgers is on team Alison Bree market 353 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:18,479 Speaker 1: ized NFL Desk League team. Good job, Aaron. We're really proud. Yeah. Um, alright, 354 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: moving on, I was in charge of watching the Houston 355 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 1: Texans Tennessee Titans matchup. A very good game. Texans once again. Uh, 356 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 1: they're almost like the anti Bucks where they are snatching 357 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,439 Speaker 1: um victory from the jaws of defeat. They won thirty 358 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 1: twenty four and overtime. Um. Andre Johnson got hurt and 359 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,360 Speaker 1: that's something to keep an eye on. Big takeaway from 360 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 1: me though, was DeAndre Hopkins, who looks like the real deal. 361 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: He played well on Monday night against the Chargers, and 362 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,919 Speaker 1: then today he had he was basically the best receiver 363 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,159 Speaker 1: on the field. He had seven catches a hundred seventeen 364 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 1: yards and a great game ending catch in overtime in 365 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,399 Speaker 1: the end zone. So they might have finally found that 366 00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:00,200 Speaker 1: second guy complimented wide receiver, and uh it changed their 367 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 1: offense a lot. Minor footnote. That was my offensive Rookie 368 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 1: of the Year pick. How about the Tate Foster dynamic 369 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,439 Speaker 1: in this one? It was all It's funny. It was 370 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:13,160 Speaker 1: almost identical. I believe Foster at nineteen carries and Tate nine. 371 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 1: This was after Monday night when Foster at eighteen carries 372 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 1: in Tate nine. So the workload is evenly distributed again 373 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,120 Speaker 1: on somewhat well, it's not even, but it's the same 374 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 1: type of breakdown which we were told that's how it 375 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 1: was going to play out. But again, uh, Tate ran better. 376 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,920 Speaker 1: I mean he ran for ninety yards on nine carries. 377 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 1: Much of that was on a sixty yard or early 378 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 1: in the game. But I thought Foster looked better. And 379 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: I think t it's just a really good runner who's 380 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 1: gonna get some money next year. The Titans were really 381 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 1: close in this game to being the surprise team in 382 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: the NFL so far this season. Even the fact that 383 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: they were close to me is a is a surprise 384 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,640 Speaker 1: after winning last week. Greg Williams has to be one 385 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 1: of the early season stories. Right. It's funny by the 386 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 1: way that you say that, because I'm trying to wrap 387 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,919 Speaker 1: my head around this. We everyone says Greg Williams, but 388 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,159 Speaker 1: Jerry Gray is the defensive coordinators, So like, what what 389 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: is the dynamic inside that building? And do you think 390 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 1: Jerry Grays? Like why do you keep on people keep 391 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: on saying Greg Williams when I'm the d C. Well, 392 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 1: nothing else changed about the defense, but suddenly they're doing 393 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,680 Speaker 1: crazy things and you know, suddenly they're much better. Yeah, 394 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,679 Speaker 1: he's he looks he still has that kind of evil 395 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 1: Greg Williams look on the sideline. Maybe that's just adding 396 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,159 Speaker 1: some intimidation that's taking them to the next level. I 397 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:24,680 Speaker 1: don't know, but they really did look good on do 398 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: they look very good on defensive. It's gonna get swept 399 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 1: under because of of the loss, and they gave up 400 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 1: thirty points ultimately, but they made some really nice plays 401 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 1: that One other takeaway I had on the Texans side 402 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,119 Speaker 1: was their kicker Randy Bullock. Uh, he's now one for 403 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: five on the season and he missed the forty seven 404 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: yard or that would end of the game. So he's 405 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,399 Speaker 1: probably talking about short leashes. He could be on one. 406 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 1: We don't talk about kickers around here. Do you guys 407 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: want to hear this? You know you guys want to 408 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,199 Speaker 1: hear that Greg Williams text that Mark sent to a 409 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:56,880 Speaker 1: girl that I've been talking to. Yeah. Wait, yeah, last 410 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,040 Speaker 1: night laid up real quick because he allows me to 411 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 1: send text to this woman friend of his. Yes, Mark 412 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 1: was at the Mark was at the controls of my phone. 413 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: They think it's coming from That's the point. And this 414 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: was last night before the dungeon. This text was sent 415 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,919 Speaker 1: last night before the dungeon while we were in a bar. Okay, 416 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna give you the cliffs Knows Virgin. 417 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: They're playing in the basement where thirty teens are nestled 418 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,159 Speaker 1: up to forty ounces of Peps's American beer and pot cigarettes. 419 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,439 Speaker 1: They are smoky, multiple pot cigarettes. While I ponder the 420 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,879 Speaker 1: defensive front of the Tennessee Titans, which is so obviously 421 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,199 Speaker 1: being orchestrated by Greg Williams. It bothers me to know 422 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 1: ed that people still cling to the half truth that 423 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 1: Jerry Gray is running Tennessee's tight defense the Titans decent 424 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,200 Speaker 1: was not multiple, but it was attacking and bared the 425 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: marks of Williams to the core. I believe in the 426 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 1: defensive Rocky top. I believe in the far corners of society. 427 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 1: I know that the red car of Rockland drives with 428 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 1: a fury into the forest of North Sweden. What was 429 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 1: her response? I hope she has a good text player. 430 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: Question marks only two. I'm almost surprised there weren't multiple. 431 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,120 Speaker 1: And then a police phone call. Sorry, well, I don't 432 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 1: think you'll be hearing from her again. I feel like 433 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: I know too much now about everyone involved. Alright, um, yeah, 434 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:19,880 Speaker 1: we should just move on after that. Mark, what's going 435 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,159 Speaker 1: on in your brain? I don't know that was twelve 436 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 1: hours ago. All right, let's move Let's move to Indianapolis 437 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 1: where the Miami Dolphins. Nice win there over the Colts. Greg, 438 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 1: you watched that one, Yeah, and Ryan Tannehill and Andrew 439 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,199 Speaker 1: Luck both played well. I thought it was kind of 440 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: the duel. I expected defenses played better at the end, 441 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 1: and I'm just wondering how many more of these types 442 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 1: of games we're gonna need to get. Tannehill in that 443 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 1: discussion with the rest of his two thousand twelve class 444 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 1: because he was sensational. You know, people say Andrew Luck 445 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: carries the Colts. You know he he doesn't have as 446 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: much to work with. Well, Tannehill had worse protection today 447 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: than than Luck did. He was under durest more. Uh 448 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: I think t Y Hilton made the play of the game. 449 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: You know, Luck has Reggie Wayne. Tannehill is working with 450 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: you know, an okay wide receiver group, and he had 451 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,120 Speaker 1: a number of throws, especially to heartline, that were very 452 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: difficult to make. And uh I thought he played well 453 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 1: and ultimately Brent Grimes and the Dolphins defense was the 454 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 1: key that to kind of pull it out in the 455 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: fourth quarter. Let me ask you a a quick one because 456 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 1: I always suspect of teams to go on these massive 457 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,679 Speaker 1: free agency binges and a lot of times it just 458 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: completely implodes, I mean in all sports. But it looks 459 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,239 Speaker 1: like Miami's is actually and especially it had they had 460 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,640 Speaker 1: Dustin Keller. It's sort of working out early on. Oh, 461 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,199 Speaker 1: it absolutely is. Brent Grimes has to be one of 462 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 1: the best free agent signings of the off season overall, 463 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: considering the money he's getting paid. He locked up Wayne 464 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 1: today did a very nice job. I thought made the 465 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: play of the game on an interception in the end 466 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: zone where Luck basically threw it up for grabs, thinking, 467 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,639 Speaker 1: you know, not too crazy that Wayne would be the 468 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 1: one to make the play. Instead, it was Grimes made 469 00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 1: a fantastic play. Uh. You know you mentioned in the 470 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 1: linebackers earlier today when we were talking. They had a 471 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: pretty solid game. I think you have to be very 472 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: happy with the free agent pick up Mike. Mike Wallace 473 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,479 Speaker 1: bounced back to with over a hundred yards. They made 474 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: sure to get him involved. I like what the coaching 475 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 1: staff is doing there. And credit to Jeff Ireland because 476 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 1: everyone knew Brent Rhymes was an excellent corner in Atlanta 477 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 1: and okay, you blow out your achilles, that's a bad injury. 478 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 1: But all you heard was positive reports about his health 479 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 1: and it didn't seem like any teams really, you know, 480 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,399 Speaker 1: grasped at that opportunity to get a potential lockdown corner. 481 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 1: I think he's thirty years old, so he wasn't that young, 482 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: but still that was a nice That was a nice 483 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,440 Speaker 1: move to get him. That changes their secondary ellerb Wheeler 484 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:41,439 Speaker 1: and Grimes made the most plays on their defense, and uh, 485 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,159 Speaker 1: Wallace obviously the big free agent pick up. You know, 486 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 1: they got him involved with screens and stuff over there. 487 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,360 Speaker 1: What wasn't a ton of big plays, but then got 488 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 1: a big play in the second half, so it was good. 489 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 1: It was It was a very evenly played game. I 490 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 1: think the refs took four points off the board for 491 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 1: the Colts at one point, so I think it could 492 00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 1: have gone either way. But that there too a no 493 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: and to a O on the road for Miami, which 494 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: is pretty impressive. It's worth noting that the one free 495 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 1: agent signy who was injured has been capably replaced by 496 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 1: Charles Clay. Yeah, Clay Clay is a big part of 497 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 1: that often. Not only is he a tight end making 498 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 1: some plays, but he was actually their goal line back 499 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: today and got a touchdown, So you don't see that 500 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,159 Speaker 1: too often. Greg, If I offered you, okay, you're the 501 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 1: GM of the Colts, and I offered you Ryan Tannehill 502 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,399 Speaker 1: and a first round pick in two thousand fourteen and 503 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 1: a second round pick in two thousand thirteen two fifteen 504 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,440 Speaker 1: for Andrew Luck, would you pull the trigger. No. I 505 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:39,119 Speaker 1: don't think you mess around with a top shelf quarterback 506 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,360 Speaker 1: like Luck that I think Luck can be. I mean, 507 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,199 Speaker 1: we've talked about seeing Luck as a potential m v 508 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,920 Speaker 1: P Canada top five quarterback. I believe in Ryan Tannehill 509 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 1: and I think he has every everything you could want 510 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 1: in a quarterback. But he's not Andrew Luck. Now, Andrew 511 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: Luck is off the table. But aren't these aren't these 512 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 1: but to your original point, but are aren't these? Uh? 513 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,919 Speaker 1: Other young quarterback all guys that people have high hopes 514 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,119 Speaker 1: that they could have Hall of Fame level careers? Do 515 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 1: you think Ryan Tannehill has a hall of Fame level 516 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: career in him? No, not necessarily, but take him. It 517 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 1: wouldn't be that It wouldn't be that shocking to me. 518 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: If put it this way, I won't be surprised if 519 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,679 Speaker 1: he has a better career than Russell Wilson, and I 520 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 1: think he can be right there. Uh with Robert Griffin 521 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:23,879 Speaker 1: the third who really knows, It wouldn't surprise me if 522 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 1: he has a better career than one or two of 523 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: those guys. That's what I'm saying. Okay, let's go Greg 524 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,920 Speaker 1: you again. You also did the Casey Dallas game Kansas City, 525 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: UH seventeen sixteen win over the Cowboys. Tell us about 526 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,680 Speaker 1: that game? Defensive game again, very evenly played. I don't 527 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 1: think Cowboys fans should be freaking out. I thought for 528 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 1: much of the day, Tony Romo played very well, got 529 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 1: protected well. The Chiefs defense uh stopped the run completely. Uh. 530 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 1: Dez Bryant made a number of big plays, but ultimately 531 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 1: Andrew Reid's kind of showing he can win with defense 532 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 1: and running. It was a really weird game. I mean, 533 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 1: Alex Smith led the Chiefs and rushing. The Chiefs didn't 534 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: move the ball, but they were very effective in the 535 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,199 Speaker 1: two times they did move the ball. They scored touchdowns 536 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,439 Speaker 1: and their two and no, I mean the Chiefs have 537 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: are already you know, matched their win total from a 538 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,239 Speaker 1: year ago. It seems like I heard you say on 539 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 1: four separate occasions during that game that Dez Bryant just 540 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 1: made the play of the day. Well, that was all 541 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 1: in the first right. Dez Bryant put together a first 542 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: quarter and really a first half that just has to 543 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 1: be seen to believe. He just kept stacking incredible play 544 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: after incredible play, had a hundred yards in the first quarter, 545 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,159 Speaker 1: I believe. But the Chiefs you gotta get you know, 546 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 1: you gotta give them credit. Right now, I think their 547 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 1: defense has shown that they're not a fluke. It was 548 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 1: a don Terry Po had another couple of sacks today, 549 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 1: I believe. I know. I said that the Cowboys protected 550 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,920 Speaker 1: Romo well overall, but they didn't do as well in 551 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. And Romo, who played a really good game, 552 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 1: had a bad fourth quarter. And I think all that 553 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 1: clutch stuff is overrated, but he had a bad fourth 554 00:26:56,280 --> 00:27:00,359 Speaker 1: So another Tony Romo microcosm type game at a believe 555 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,119 Speaker 1: in that whole narrative. If someone wanted to kill Romo 556 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 1: for not playing well in the clutch today would be 557 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,120 Speaker 1: a good way to do it. Elliott Harrison will tell 558 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 1: you that Tony Romo is the best fourth quarter right 559 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,120 Speaker 1: rating in the Elliott Harrison will tell you the Tony 560 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:14,879 Speaker 1: Romo will walk on water. You know what is the 561 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:18,719 Speaker 1: most disturbing um takeaway from this game for me is 562 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 1: that I discovered after the game that the Chiefs wore 563 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,439 Speaker 1: red tops and red pants, which you've never seen them do. 564 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: It's like a complete uniform change. Galvanized the team obviously 565 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,400 Speaker 1: propelled him to this win. I asked Greg, Greg, give 566 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 1: me your take on the red top red bottoms. Greg 567 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:41,359 Speaker 1: doesn't even remember seeing it. This is the guy that 568 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:45,119 Speaker 1: we've assigned to the game that I don't play. I 569 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 1: don't pay attention to the room uniforms. I'm not a 570 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 1: big on the jersey numbers disturbs. I watched, Yeah, I 571 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 1: did the Titans again, and immediately I noticed that these 572 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 1: grizzly blue on blue, this attire. I'm not the Damna 573 00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,679 Speaker 1: check uniform monitor, but some things you notice immediately. I'm 574 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 1: not look, I'm not a fashion expert here. I was 575 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 1: too busy getting excited about Alex Smith. Everyone kills and 576 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 1: me can't go down the field. The play of the game, 577 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,680 Speaker 1: uh was him getting out of the way of would 578 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 1: be socker and thrown about thirty yards up the field 579 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 1: on a third and long and they score a touchdown 580 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 1: on that drive. Is this a playoff team? We picked 581 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:20,679 Speaker 1: them to go nine and seven. I think that's the 582 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,399 Speaker 1: perfect pick for them. Nine and seven. Our next game, 583 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles. You know they had the great start on 584 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 1: Monday night. Now they had their home opener against the 585 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,360 Speaker 1: San Diego Chargers. Everything was set up for, you know, 586 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: another blowout win and everyone who was gonna get excited, Instead, 587 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 1: the Chargers beat him thirty three thirty. Kevin Patra are 588 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 1: Chicago at L correspondent, our colleague actually based in Detroit 589 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 1: right now, but we have him on the phone and 590 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 1: he's going to tell us all about the game that 591 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 1: he watched. Patra, Yeah, yam, buddy. Eagles did not start 592 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 1: as as hot as they did last Monday night. You know. 593 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 1: The interesting thing to me about watching the game, as 594 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 1: we talked a lot about how Michael Vick, how they 595 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: would protect him, how many hits he would take, and 596 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 1: he really didn't run the ball much. Only six carries 597 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 1: and one with the touchdown the fourth quarter that wasn't designed. 598 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 1: They didn't really run the whole lot of ead option. 599 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 1: Uh McCoy only had eleven carries. They were They threw 600 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 1: the ball a tount just all over the field. Uh 601 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 1: Vic had yards passing, I really thought. I mean they 602 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: took shots. We know Chip Kelly and one thing about 603 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 1: him is gonna take some shotdown field, and that's what 604 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 1: they did all day. De Sean Jack had one long touchdown. 605 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:32,719 Speaker 1: He should have had two other ones. Vick let him 606 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 1: out of bound on one and then the other one. 607 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 1: He it was a stupid penalty brought it back and 608 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 1: that was happening with the Eagles. They just kind of 609 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 1: shut themselves in the foot whole, a whole bunch of 610 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 1: defense did not play well. Let the Charger to pick 611 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 1: him apart all day. Hey, what's up with the resurrection 612 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 1: of Philip Rivers. Yeah, I mean you looked at it him. 613 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 1: He just ran that McCoy offense just beautifully. I mean 614 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 1: he was getting the ball out of his hands very quickly. 615 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 1: I mean he saw it on any row of three touchdowns. 616 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 1: They were quick packing and a couple of Brookes Eagles 617 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 1: couldn't and he was in the end up a second. 618 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 1: You just said, Eddie Royals three touchdowns, just kind of 619 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 1: sliding that in there. That was like that was an 620 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 1: every day occurrence. Eddie roy I'm expecting to at least 621 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 1: two weeks now, right, he expected. He looks good. He 622 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 1: gave Bryce McCain fits in in the first week. I wrote. 623 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 1: I wrote something a few weeks ago that I remember, 624 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 1: five or six years ago, I thought Eddie Royal was 625 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 1: the next West Welker. I mean that was a long 626 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 1: time ago. It seems like he's been gone finally healthy again. Yeah, 627 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,160 Speaker 1: I mean they're not they're not. They're not giving him 628 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 1: out where he's got, he's time to develop, they're getting 629 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 1: it in their their hands quickly, and he made some place. 630 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 1: There's no doubt about that. Tell me, this has to 631 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 1: be a talking point coming up. I'm not a time 632 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,720 Speaker 1: of possession guy, neither as Chip Kelly. But it was 633 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 1: forty minutes to nineteen minutes for the Eagles, and and 634 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 1: the Chargers had seventy nine plays in the game, So 635 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 1: it wasn't like the Eagles were racking up plays. They 636 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 1: actually had twenty fewer plays. Yeah this week. I mean 637 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 1: they had three the first half last week. And that 638 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 1: goes that speaks to the Chargers game plan. They was 639 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 1: just you know, pick them apart. I mean they had 640 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 1: a drive where I think they had eight team plays 641 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 1: and they ended up settling for a field bolt. But 642 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 1: it was just you know, quick plays and Rivers is 643 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 1: getting them to the line. It wasn't like they were 644 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 1: hadd laying taking their time and get them their line, 645 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 1: keeping that defense on the field and then you know, 646 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 1: making his calls from the line and then waiting until 647 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 1: they were five or ten seconds on the clock and 648 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 1: then they would like the ball. And then you know 649 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 1: games five or six yards and and they do it 650 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 1: all over again, and they just were picking apart, you know, 651 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 1: a very suspect defense that just wore down as the 652 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:38,240 Speaker 1: game war on. Chargers had their most yards since yards 653 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 1: and three touchdowns no intercept. That's pretty He looked very, 654 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 1: very good and he obviously this is offensive that he 655 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 1: works well and it's with his skill set and we're 656 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:51,719 Speaker 1: seeing it too. Yeah. Four And like I said, yet 657 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 1: and big look looked good in the pocket. I mean, 658 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 1: he wasn't struggling. They should have had more hunting. He 659 00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,719 Speaker 1: probably should have storne for over five hundred yards. They 660 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,520 Speaker 1: met some big players, um and they kept going back 661 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 1: to him, which was which is which is fun to 662 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 1: see from a from a viewer's point of view. One 663 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:10,120 Speaker 1: one more real quick point, the Chip Kelly effect. The 664 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 1: Eagles of the first team in NFL history to have 665 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,440 Speaker 1: a wide receiver with two fifty receiving yards and a 666 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 1: running back with three fifty scrimmage yards through two weeks. Right, well, well, 667 00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 1: I wonder that how much more help they're gonna get because, 668 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 1: like you said last week, at the end of the 669 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 1: last week, how many hits are is uh McCoy gonna take? 670 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 1: He had to get he looks as great. In the 671 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 1: packing game, he only had fifty three yards rushing. They 672 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:36,960 Speaker 1: didn't really rush the ball a lot. I mean, so 673 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 1: they're really relying on Seawan Jacks and with Shawn McCoy 674 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,479 Speaker 1: to be theirs. Alright, Patrick, so you are a Detroit 675 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 1: Lions fan, as we know. I don't know if the 676 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,920 Speaker 1: listeners know also a Sue defender, which you know speaks 677 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 1: to your character perhaps, but I don't know how if 678 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,000 Speaker 1: I'm a defender. I think he's a great player that 679 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 1: it needs to get. You know, you liked it, um whatever. 680 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 1: But since but since you're on the phone and your 681 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 1: a Lions Van West actually was was the man who 682 00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:08,720 Speaker 1: covered our Lions matchup today against the Arizona Cardinals. But 683 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:10,360 Speaker 1: why don't you stay on the line, West, tell us 684 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 1: a little bit about the game. Lions win. My big 685 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:18,880 Speaker 1: excuse me, Cardinals win. My biggest takeaway from watching this 686 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 1: game was that the better team did not win. The 687 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 1: Lions self destructive. They had eight penalties for a hundred 688 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 1: and one yards. The offense went in the tank after 689 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,720 Speaker 1: Reggie Bush's knee injury, and they basically gave the game away. 690 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 1: Could this, you know, interpretation be colored by the fact 691 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,840 Speaker 1: that you were the only man to choose the Lions. 692 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,680 Speaker 1: It could be and that that is a conclusion that 693 00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 1: can be reached. But I'm saying, honestly, the Lions were 694 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,479 Speaker 1: the better team and they just shot themselves in the foot. Well, 695 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:47,400 Speaker 1: hold on, how are they the better team? When we 696 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,239 Speaker 1: see Detroit doing this kind of thing? I would think 697 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 1: they had eight penalties for over a hundred yards today, 698 00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,720 Speaker 1: they come across to me is a little bit undisciplined, 699 00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 1: and when Bush went out, I think they had ninety 700 00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 1: yards in the second half of offense. What what makes 701 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 1: you say that they're, you know, automatically the better team 702 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:07,480 Speaker 1: here because I watched the game. Well just more talented though, 703 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:10,040 Speaker 1: I mean, but they did whatever they wanted until Bush 704 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 1: got hurt. Patrick, What do you see? Yeah, every reason, 705 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,480 Speaker 1: exactly right? I mean, And I called I picked against 706 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,480 Speaker 1: the Lions because they usually go out west in lay 707 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 1: an eight, And that's definitely gutless pick. You're a Lions 708 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,840 Speaker 1: fan and you picked against them, What do you wait? Okay, 709 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:28,200 Speaker 1: some you know that would be like saying, uh, you know, 710 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,200 Speaker 1: Handon's gotta pick the Jets every week. I saw this coming. 711 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 1: It's not a surprise to me. I had the game unfolded. 712 00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:35,839 Speaker 1: I said, I was telling my brother, We're not gonna 713 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:37,799 Speaker 1: win this game. Business. There's that's really no way we 714 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,040 Speaker 1: win this game. It just was unfold in that way. 715 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 1: They couldn't move the ball on often. It felt like 716 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 1: the Cardinals had the ball the entire second half. They 717 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 1: couldn't do anything. Once the Cardinals could bracket, uh, Calvin Johnson. 718 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 1: If they couldn't, there was there's no other playmakers on 719 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 1: that offense. When Joyce felt is your next best playmaker, 720 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,319 Speaker 1: there are problems. Patrick, What's what are the chances that 721 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 1: you are in a restroom in a Detroit dive bar 722 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 1: locking the door speaking to us right now? I wish 723 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:07,120 Speaker 1: I'm actually an empty room where I'm set up. It's 724 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,440 Speaker 1: very I thought you might have been. You know the 725 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,680 Speaker 1: guy at the sports bar that and they have like 726 00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:14,799 Speaker 1: a one in one out restroom and the guy just 727 00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:20,839 Speaker 1: locks the door and just disappears. Sometimes it happens next week. 728 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:25,600 Speaker 1: There are easily easily work for that, all right, Kevin, Well, 729 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:27,680 Speaker 1: thank you for checking in with us. We should make 730 00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:29,720 Speaker 1: this a weekly think because we love hearing your voice 731 00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,200 Speaker 1: because it's kind of soothing on some level. I have 732 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:38,600 Speaker 1: to say maybe bi weekly. All right, Kevin, thank you, alright, 733 00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,920 Speaker 1: Moving right along to the late games. Uh, I watched 734 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 1: the Saints beat the Buck sixteen fourteen. Oh my god, 735 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:51,040 Speaker 1: the Bucks, Oh my god, the Bucks. They have the 736 00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,399 Speaker 1: first two weeks of the season. They took a lead 737 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:57,239 Speaker 1: into the final minute of regulation, lost both games and 738 00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:01,440 Speaker 1: lost and just grizzly fashion both times. More penalties today 739 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,239 Speaker 1: which killed him, including one of the worst penalties you 740 00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:08,680 Speaker 1: can imagine. A seventy five yard Vincent Jackson touchdown was 741 00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,360 Speaker 1: wiped away by an illegal formation with the right tackle 742 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,480 Speaker 1: not lining up on this line of scrimmage. This is 743 00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,319 Speaker 1: the type of stuff we're talking about. There's no discipline here, 744 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:18,799 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, and then you have just execution 745 00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:22,560 Speaker 1: Ryan Linley, Uh could have essentially maybe not ice the game, 746 00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:24,640 Speaker 1: but putting them in a great position late in the 747 00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,960 Speaker 1: fourth courthor field goal. He misses it. Three Drew Brees 748 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:31,840 Speaker 1: completions spiked the ball field goal game over sixteen fourteen, 749 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:33,440 Speaker 1: and the Bucks have to be wondering if they're ever 750 00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:37,360 Speaker 1: gonna win. What with Josh Freeman, all the nonsense surrounding 751 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 1: him of the last week, how did he do today? 752 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 1: He didn't play very well. I mean the numbers speak 753 00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:45,279 Speaker 1: to it. Uh Like I said that that everything things 754 00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,120 Speaker 1: would have looked a lot different if he completed that 755 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:52,520 Speaker 1: past stands to Jackson. But ultimately the statistics, the stats 756 00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:56,040 Speaker 1: aren't there, and and the offense isn't moving very well. 757 00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:59,000 Speaker 1: They played really well in defense, actually played great on defense, 758 00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:02,600 Speaker 1: which makes us even more frustrating. But uh yeah, you 759 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:04,399 Speaker 1: know this is this is a team where things could 760 00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,799 Speaker 1: fall off the rails right now because these are two 761 00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,560 Speaker 1: devastating losses to start a season. Free Freeman nine for 762 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,400 Speaker 1: twenty two. I do want to point out in the 763 00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:16,000 Speaker 1: he made that throw to Jackson, which was a crazy penalty, 764 00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:17,840 Speaker 1: so his numbers would have looked a lot different, and 765 00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,359 Speaker 1: he had a great drive to set up that field goal. 766 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,640 Speaker 1: He made a number of really difficult throws. So if 767 00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,959 Speaker 1: Ryan Lindell kicks that field goal and they win the game, 768 00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,680 Speaker 1: I think the stories partly that Freeman after this crazy week, 769 00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,000 Speaker 1: made a couple of great throws to win the game 770 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:34,480 Speaker 1: doesn't mean he had a great game, but I think 771 00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:36,799 Speaker 1: it's worth noting. And by the way, they would have 772 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:38,919 Speaker 1: been saying the same thing last week because he led 773 00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,880 Speaker 1: them on the go ahead field goal against the Jets 774 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,359 Speaker 1: set that up, and then Lavante David pushes Geno Smith 775 00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,160 Speaker 1: at a bounds and that gets forgotten too. So, uh, 776 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:51,120 Speaker 1: Freeman doesn't look great. He's not playing necessarily great, But 777 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,920 Speaker 1: at the same time, their problems are more about discipline 778 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,319 Speaker 1: and it's killing them. Well, I wanna get to one 779 00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,000 Speaker 1: of my favorite weekly recurring segments, which is when I 780 00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:02,040 Speaker 1: asked Chris Wesley whether he believes in bad Santa and 781 00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:06,560 Speaker 1: the Saints defense. Come on, I didn't see that game today, 782 00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:08,719 Speaker 1: but I would say it's probably not hard to play 783 00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:13,040 Speaker 1: great defense against Josh Freeman. Still not giving any credit. 784 00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:16,200 Speaker 1: Come on, alright, moving on, we're going to hit Oh 785 00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:18,439 Speaker 1: this was This was a grim one in New York, 786 00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:23,600 Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos beating up of the Giants. Greg Rosenthal 787 00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:27,120 Speaker 1: had that game. Well, it's just uncanny how it was 788 00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,480 Speaker 1: so similar to the Broncos game last week, where it 789 00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,799 Speaker 1: was tight at halftime it was ten nine Broncos. You're 790 00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:33,960 Speaker 1: wondering when are they going to break out, and then 791 00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:37,120 Speaker 1: it ends up being the laugher. And my big takeaway 792 00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,799 Speaker 1: is they've won these two games and blowouts, and they 793 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,360 Speaker 1: can get so much better. I mean, the Broncos just 794 00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:46,120 Speaker 1: won by eighteen in New York. Wes Welker dropped every 795 00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,320 Speaker 1: other past that was thrown to him today to Marius 796 00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:52,200 Speaker 1: Thomas had a bad game, monty ball fumbled on the 797 00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:55,240 Speaker 1: goal line and was pretty much a disaster. Twelve carries 798 00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,839 Speaker 1: for sixteen yards, and yet here they are racking up 799 00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,799 Speaker 1: forty points. Oh, by the way, Champ Bailey's out and 800 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,839 Speaker 1: von Miller's out and the defense is playing well. I 801 00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,200 Speaker 1: think Jack del Rio and John Fox deserve a lot 802 00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:10,520 Speaker 1: of credit. The two thousand seven Patriots watch. I have 803 00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,839 Speaker 1: a few stats for you, guys. Peyton Manning joins Drew 804 00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,040 Speaker 1: Brees is only a second quarterback in history to throw 805 00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,320 Speaker 1: for nine touchdowns in the first two games of the season. 806 00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:22,600 Speaker 1: The Green Bay Packers have sixty six points second in 807 00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,520 Speaker 1: the NFL. The Broncos have sixty six points in the 808 00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:30,360 Speaker 1: second half. Wow, without even including the first halfs of games. Uh. 809 00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,799 Speaker 1: And they are the seventh team in NFL history too, 810 00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:36,880 Speaker 1: to rack up forty points in the first two games. 811 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:38,319 Speaker 1: Each of the first two games of the season. Well, 812 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,960 Speaker 1: and that's you know, in both weeks we've seen them. 813 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,880 Speaker 1: Like you said, it looks tight it looks like the 814 00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,279 Speaker 1: opponent has some semblance of a chance, and then the 815 00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:51,480 Speaker 1: Broncos just unleashed this waterfall of points and it's you're 816 00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:55,120 Speaker 1: right there. Last week it was Decca right who dropped 817 00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:58,040 Speaker 1: a ton of passes. It's like, you don't need every 818 00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,680 Speaker 1: key player to show up two weeks in a row. 819 00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:02,600 Speaker 1: Someone's going to fill in the gap when someone's not 820 00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:05,480 Speaker 1: playing well. Yeah, trendon holiday, you know gets a kickoff 821 00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:08,080 Speaker 1: returns or punt returned rather, so you know that helps 822 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:11,560 Speaker 1: No Sean Moreno had I timed it the slowest twenty 823 00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:15,240 Speaker 1: five yard rushing touchdown in NFL history watching him versus 824 00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:18,000 Speaker 1: the Giants linebackers, you could have timed it with like 825 00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:23,360 Speaker 1: a uh. But it didn't matter. Everything's going well for 826 00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,120 Speaker 1: this team. I want to be the first guy to 827 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,600 Speaker 1: get on the ken. The Broncos goes sixteen and no bandwagon. 828 00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:30,960 Speaker 1: I figure in week two, I'm in a good spot 829 00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:32,799 Speaker 1: because no one would be stupid enough to do that, 830 00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:35,240 Speaker 1: but I will be, and I'll look at their upcoming 831 00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:38,200 Speaker 1: schedule just to get to the bye week. Home to Raiders, 832 00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:41,400 Speaker 1: home to Eagles, at Cowboys, home to Jags at Colts, 833 00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,880 Speaker 1: home to Redskins. I feel pretty good at eight. No 834 00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:46,600 Speaker 1: at the break there, then they get von millerback, and 835 00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:49,640 Speaker 1: then they get von millerback, So mark it down. I 836 00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,439 Speaker 1: was the stupid one who talked undefeated season in Week two. 837 00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:56,680 Speaker 1: All right, up next we have the Oakland Raiders ninete 838 00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:59,560 Speaker 1: victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. It's only fitting that West 839 00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,360 Speaker 1: watch this one because West has now picked the Jaguars 840 00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:03,960 Speaker 1: to win two weeks in a row and has been 841 00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:07,239 Speaker 1: and I won't be picking them again. You're not gonna 842 00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:09,239 Speaker 1: pick them next week at Seattle. By the way, I 843 00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:12,120 Speaker 1: have a one time offer for everyone. The Hero Pick 844 00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:15,919 Speaker 1: Committee had an emergency meeting today and if you pick 845 00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,080 Speaker 1: the Jaguars to win in Seattle and you're right, you 846 00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:21,719 Speaker 1: get three Hero picks for that selection. If you're right, 847 00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:23,960 Speaker 1: not doing it after after I saw this game, I'm 848 00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:27,960 Speaker 1: not doing it. It's fitting that their first touchdown of 849 00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,000 Speaker 1: the season came in garbage time and it was by 850 00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:33,240 Speaker 1: a player they claimed off waivers two weeks ago, Clay Harbor. 851 00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:35,759 Speaker 1: They were without for this game most of the game. 852 00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:38,560 Speaker 1: They were without Maurice Jones Drew. They were without their 853 00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:40,759 Speaker 1: leading receiver from last year, Justin Blackman, and they were 854 00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,759 Speaker 1: without Mercedes Lewis. They're tight end, and it showed they 855 00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,080 Speaker 1: couldn't move the ball. Let me ask you an Oakland question, 856 00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:48,680 Speaker 1: because I think we all would have agreed in August. 857 00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:52,800 Speaker 1: This roster is a shambles. There's a lot of issues 858 00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:55,360 Speaker 1: all over the place. But listen, they played the Cults 859 00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:59,239 Speaker 1: much tighter than people thought, especially on defense. I find 860 00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,839 Speaker 1: them intriguing, and they go out today and take care 861 00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,040 Speaker 1: of business. What is it that we were wrong about 862 00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:08,480 Speaker 1: in August? Nothing? So you don't have a good team. 863 00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:11,759 Speaker 1: Westleyn is not worried about his softball pants. No. I 864 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:15,120 Speaker 1: think the one thing we're wronging about is probably their 865 00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:17,399 Speaker 1: defense has a little bit more backbone than we thought. Right, 866 00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:19,960 Speaker 1: I'm not convinced they've played a great offense yet. I mean, 867 00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,200 Speaker 1: the Colts scored at will early in the game, and 868 00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:24,960 Speaker 1: then to me, I thought kind of got too conservative. 869 00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:31,400 Speaker 1: But um, I think offensively, Terrell Prior he helps McFadden 870 00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:33,520 Speaker 1: had a hundred fifty something yards today because of the 871 00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:36,000 Speaker 1: threat of Terrell Prior running. So I think they can 872 00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:37,839 Speaker 1: do some things on offense that we didn't think they 873 00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:41,560 Speaker 1: could do. Don't you think the defense deserves a little more. 874 00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:46,720 Speaker 1: I thought the defense they have more than we hope 875 00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:50,719 Speaker 1: and that's pace they they allowed a touchdown to. The 876 00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:53,359 Speaker 1: Jaguars have good thing? Can they be are you? Are 877 00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:56,120 Speaker 1: you marinating those soutball pants? Are they not? Not yet? 878 00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:58,560 Speaker 1: They I'm not really worried yet. If they get to 879 00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,920 Speaker 1: three wins by midst season, I'll be I'll be worried. 880 00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:04,080 Speaker 1: You know that the Jaguars fans get a lot of 881 00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:07,640 Speaker 1: grief for their support, sometimes definitely too much, and they're 882 00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:10,799 Speaker 1: very sensitive. But you gotta feel for them right now. 883 00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:14,400 Speaker 1: Any support they're given is is probably more than this team, 884 00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:18,040 Speaker 1: you know deserves. This is rough. And that takes us 885 00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:21,359 Speaker 1: to the final game of Sunday, the Sunday night game, 886 00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:25,600 Speaker 1: much anticipated the Seahawks at home against the Niners West. 887 00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:27,760 Speaker 1: You said on Friday that you thought at this stage 888 00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:31,879 Speaker 1: that Seattle was unbeatable at home. You might be right, 889 00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:35,160 Speaker 1: because they made the Niners look very pedestrian. Today it 890 00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:38,040 Speaker 1: reminds me a little bit of last year's game in Seattle. 891 00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:41,120 Speaker 1: Not quite the blowout from the offensive point of view, 892 00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,520 Speaker 1: but the fact that Kaepernick is having his worst game 893 00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:45,840 Speaker 1: of the year, or the worst game he's had since 894 00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:48,319 Speaker 1: that game, So I think that's it's just it just 895 00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,200 Speaker 1: shows how hard it is to win up there. I 896 00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:53,400 Speaker 1: think it's worth noting that. And I said this downstairs 897 00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:58,440 Speaker 1: to Greg that now, Kaepernick, this was not his best game. Obviously, 898 00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:00,799 Speaker 1: the entire team didn't play well when they went to 899 00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:05,480 Speaker 1: Seattle last December. Um, you know, Seattle's got to be 900 00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:07,799 Speaker 1: feeling good if they get a home game looking ahead 901 00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:09,399 Speaker 1: to the Plass. I know we shouldn't be looking ahead 902 00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:12,000 Speaker 1: at this point. That's pretty far ahead, but we all 903 00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,520 Speaker 1: believe these two teams. I know San Francisco didn't play 904 00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:17,040 Speaker 1: well tonight, but these two teams are both, you know, 905 00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:20,040 Speaker 1: very good teams going forward. But Seattle has to be 906 00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:21,960 Speaker 1: feeling good now that they might be even in San 907 00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:24,799 Speaker 1: Francisco's head a little bit with you. You better beat 908 00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:28,520 Speaker 1: us for this division title or it could be welcome 909 00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:30,799 Speaker 1: back to quest Field and trouble again. Well, could I 910 00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:32,560 Speaker 1: just point out that this game was a little bit 911 00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:36,520 Speaker 1: of a disappointment. That the Manning Bowl and the Seahawks 912 00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:38,879 Speaker 1: was the two games we were you know, heard most 913 00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:41,400 Speaker 1: about all week, and it was a great football Sunday, 914 00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:44,160 Speaker 1: But these two games weren't great. I'm looking forward to 915 00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:46,719 Speaker 1: you know, seeing back on you know tape what the 916 00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:50,280 Speaker 1: two defenses did. But you're struggling if you're the forty niners. 917 00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:53,040 Speaker 1: If you hold Russell Wilson to whatever he was in 918 00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:54,880 Speaker 1: the first half of you know, he had like a 919 00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:57,120 Speaker 1: baseball line at one point one for nine. He was 920 00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:59,200 Speaker 1: over five to start the game. And yet they go 921 00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:01,160 Speaker 1: in the halftime up five nothing and then they end 922 00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:03,200 Speaker 1: up you know, coasting in the second half. And as 923 00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:05,960 Speaker 1: much as we credited an Kwon Bolden last week, and 924 00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:08,960 Speaker 1: he deserved it, I think we can see tonight, while 925 00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,760 Speaker 1: he's not a number one receiver, Richard Sherman just shut 926 00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:14,480 Speaker 1: him down. Quite a performance. It's not the first cornerback 927 00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:17,200 Speaker 1: to shut an Kwon Bolden down, and Sherman basically you 928 00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:19,799 Speaker 1: know the game I seek interception there. He he danced 929 00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:22,480 Speaker 1: with the cheerleaders and you know he he has a 930 00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:25,120 Speaker 1: personal vendetta against Jim Harbaugh. He thinks that he didn't 931 00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:28,880 Speaker 1: take care of him, uh during his college days when 932 00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,200 Speaker 1: people came to visit with Stanford and ask about him. 933 00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:33,000 Speaker 1: So that had to be feeling good. So yeah, I 934 00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:36,320 Speaker 1: agree though, Greg, that this was a disappointing game. Hopefully 935 00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:38,560 Speaker 1: when they meet up again, we'll get something better. So 936 00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:40,840 Speaker 1: that's it for Sunday. We went around the league. We 937 00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:45,000 Speaker 1: have one more game tomorrow night Pittsburgh Cincinnati, which should 938 00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,160 Speaker 1: be a good one. We will be back on Wednesday. 939 00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:50,480 Speaker 1: We will recap the Monday night game and all the 940 00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:54,120 Speaker 1: news that's going on also huge Wednesday. Don't forget we're 941 00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:56,759 Speaker 1: playing when West's toaster. Are you ready for that? West? 942 00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:59,239 Speaker 1: I am. I don't know if I've I don't know 943 00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:01,160 Speaker 1: if I don't feel like this time pick it up. 944 00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:03,600 Speaker 1: I think around here this time, you told me you're 945 00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:06,600 Speaker 1: not gonna do like the stats from last season stuff. 946 00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:08,480 Speaker 1: We're gonna do more. We're gonna I'm gonna change the 947 00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:11,239 Speaker 1: questions a little bit blatantly to try to make you 948 00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:13,239 Speaker 1: a little more of a dominant force, because that's like 949 00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:14,880 Speaker 1: the key to this game work. This is going to 950 00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:17,279 Speaker 1: get some you know, needs to get some rest. In 951 00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:19,400 Speaker 1: the meantime. I feel like, if you want to if 952 00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:21,440 Speaker 1: you want to be you want to take West his 953 00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:23,879 Speaker 1: toast or take about for some drinks in corn Hall 954 00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:25,960 Speaker 1: the time before, why don't we just give him a 955 00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:28,399 Speaker 1: couple of days off and just bring him back into 956 00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:30,840 Speaker 1: the game and of course. Besides that, I'm excited for 957 00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:33,440 Speaker 1: when West's toast, of course, but I'm even more excited 958 00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:36,680 Speaker 1: for the k Rich listening party of her theme music 959 00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:40,799 Speaker 1: hashtag Bnker's Sacks.
