1
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:11,799
Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up

2
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: straight Fire? Fam, It's me Jason McIntyre. Straight Fire for Monday,

3
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: November twenty one, Thanksgiving Week. Everybody, I know you're traveling,

4
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: so there's a good week to have podcasts out there

5
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: in the ether. We will have podcasts today obviously, Tomorrow

6
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: obviously and Wednesday, and then I think we'll be back Monday.

7
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: I think I think we'll be back Monday. Now, there

8
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: is always the chance that something ginormous will break and

9
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: your boy is just gonna pest Rob and be like Rob,

10
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: we need to do an emergency podcast. Unlikely, but there's

11
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 1: a small chance. Obviously, this is a massive week for

12
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: friends and family and I'm giving thanks and the World

13
00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: Cup and um we'll try to jam all that into

14
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: the next three days. Uh. It was a whirlwind weekend.

15
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 1: You know, kids get off school and now they're now

16
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: out for Thanksgiving week. So we did some goofing off

17
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: as a family, watched U S C U c L

18
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: A Saturday night. Poor Rob G. I didn't want to

19
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: text him and rub salt in the moon. I got

20
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: see the problem moving out here six years ago is

21
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: I got a bunch of buddies who went to USC

22
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: and then a bunch of buddies who went to u

23
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: c l A. My son goes to a math program

24
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: at u c l A, and so we have kind

25
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: of a connection to the university. Um I work with

26
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: a lot of USC people of Fox, so like I

27
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: like both of them. I mean, I was rooting for

28
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: the over that hit easily, but it was it was

29
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: a tough one because you know Rob's U c l

30
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: A Bruins. We can come back to a little bit,

31
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: but it's a tough loss for d t R. My

32
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: son and I watched that and I was telling him

33
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: Bryce this d t R s a pro, and he

34
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: thought DTR looked incredible, but of course, you know he

35
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: had a couple of picks there in the bully. It's

36
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: just a tough ending to what was a great game.

37
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams of course was incredible. But folks, if you

38
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: watch that game Saturday night, NonStop scoring. My wife and

39
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: daughter were watching. They're not even like huge football fans,

40
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: although my daughters now he's into it because I watched

41
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: every Sunday and when I drive her around, I'm like

42
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: watching red Zone. Yes, not watching, but it's on in

43
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: the car and like they were like this game so fun.

44
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, look at all these points. And then

45
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: luckily they didn't watch the NFL Sunday because holy hell,

46
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: it was some bad football. Now I need to do

47
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: a little preface, a little twenty second time out. My

48
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,679
Speaker 1: son had a volleyball tournament and I had red Zone

49
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: on the phone, and fortunately they have like a little

50
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: cafeteria there with red Zone, and they also had oh,

51
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 1: the Jets game was on TV, so you know, I

52
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: was like totally a normal human being watching the Jets.

53
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: My son's team steamrolled everybody. They went three and oh,

54
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: did not lose a set. Some good volleyball. Um, they're

55
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: very good, only twelve, you but they're very very good.

56
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,399
Speaker 1: And it allowed me, I mean they blew out a team.

57
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: I think it allowed me to really watch the Jets.

58
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: And I'm on pins and needles, folks. I mean, listen,

59
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: there's other games. We're gonna talk about. Cowboys beat down

60
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: of the sorry ass overrated Vikings. Um, I think Chargers

61
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: Chiefs warn't a discussion. You know, that was a tremendous game.

62
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: A lot of bad football Sunday, Eagles escape, you know,

63
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 1: a lot of single digit scoring. We'll get into the

64
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: Raiders Broncos poop show. Joe Burrow was pretty good. Um,

65
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: and I'm watching the Jets closely, and with every errand

66
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson throw, I started to get a little agitated. Okay,

67
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: he had a terrible game the first time out against

68
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: the Patriots. I mean it was the pits. He's the

69
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: reason they lost that game. You look at the interceptions,

70
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: they were bad. He was angry after that game. He

71
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: was short in the press conference. Bounced back strong, beat

72
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. He was good in that game, best

73
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: game of the season. Then he had to buy so

74
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: he had an extra full week to lock in and

75
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: get ready for the Patriots. And I know it was windy,

76
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: and I know him getting worked up, But the level

77
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: to which Zack Wilson was awful against the Patriots, I

78
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: don't know how they didn't bend you, folks. He's airmailing

79
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 1: passes in the flat to running backs and you can't

80
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: blame that on the wind. And the one that got me,

81
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: I literally stood up in the cafeteria and had to

82
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: like put my hands on my head and turn around

83
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: before the play was even over. He overthrows someone in

84
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: the middle of the field right into the arms of

85
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: one of them Accordy twins. And at that point I

86
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 1: stand up and turn around. I'm just like, oh my gosh,

87
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 1: it's over. He's done, Benjam. I hope he doesn't run

88
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: it back for the pick six. I turned around the

89
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: mccordy dropped it, which was incredible. I was like, oh

90
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 1: my gosh, maybe this is the Jet Steam. Maybe they

91
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 1: had the thirteen game losing streak against the Patriots, but

92
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: alas it was not to be. Now, since I'm keeping

93
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: a real and I always have, my son's match started

94
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 1: just at as the one pm games are ending. So

95
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: I'm watching my son's match. I'm trying to get photos

96
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: and video. It's tough and volleyball man and hoops it's easy,

97
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: and volleyball it's tough because the action so fast and

98
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: like the court is very wide. So like, I'm not

99
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: doing a great job getting photos and video. And in

100
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 1: the middle of it, I start getting a flurry of

101
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: texts from friends and other media people, Oh, bro, hanging there, dude,

102
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: are you okay? Like literally, these are the text decks

103
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: are coming in. I'm like, and then I accidentally look

104
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 1: in the middle of the match, and I have to

105
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: sit down at this point, you know, I'm standing up.

106
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: I have to sit down, and I see the highlight

107
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 1: and it was just it was rock bottom, you know,

108
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 1: giving up an eighty four yard punt return with five

109
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: seconds left to lose the game. And not only that,

110
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 1: they didn't cover. Now, I didn't bet them. I did,

111
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: you know, back them and think they win, and I

112
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: just I don't bet them against the Patriots. It's it's

113
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: a waste of money. Fourteen straight now. But here's the

114
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 1: thing that really kills me. As poor as Wilson was,

115
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: and some of the stature you're gonna see today are staggering.

116
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: They had ten punts and Zach Wilson had nine completions. Okay,

117
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: the defense had six sacks of Mac Jones kept them

118
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:43,119
Speaker 1: in the game. Okay, the Jets had six first downs

119
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: the entire game a hundred and three total yards. Someone

120
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 1: put the stat online. It was so tough to believe.

121
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 1: I felt like looking it up, and then it was

122
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 1: like too depressing to look up. In the last nine years,

123
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: there's only been six games were an offense at a

124
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: hundred and five yards or less. Right, six times in

125
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: the last nine years, the Jets are responsible for four

126
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 1: of them. How is that even possible? That is like

127
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: the bottom of the barrel, Like as bad as it gets,

128
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: they've had four games in the last nine years. A

129
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: hundred and five yards are less. I mean, a hundred

130
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: and five yards is like what Tony Pollard had yards

131
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: from scrimmage in the half against the Vikings, just Tony Pollard.

132
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: And the ineptitude is just staggering and it's disappointing. And

133
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm saying the season is over, But what's

134
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: wild is there's still seven games left in the NFL season,

135
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: so it's technically not over. But I don't see how

136
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: you can have any confidence at all in Zach like none. Now,

137
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: it's nice to have Elijah Moore's back, hooray, we got him.

138
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: He caught two passes. But Garrett Wilson, I don't. I mean,

139
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: he's the stud. And after the game in the locker room,

140
00:07:55,720 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson, this ship is not okay. Straight up, it

141
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: is not okay. How many total yards do we have?

142
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: That ship is not gonna fly. We got the dudes.

143
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: It's time we be consistent. It's time to win the

144
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: games we should win here's the worst part. Guys. They

145
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: play the Bears this week, who have an abominable defense,

146
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: can't stop anybody, and Justin Fields maybe hurt looks like

147
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: he shuffered some kind of shoulder injury, non throwing shoulder.

148
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: But if they had a clue, they would shut him

149
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: down right there, three and eight hurtling towards irrelevance. The

150
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,599
Speaker 1: more losses you get, the closer you get to the

151
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: top five pick. They're in the mix for a top

152
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: five pick, maybe top three, and Justin Fields look great,

153
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: you know he's your guy at least next year. You

154
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: don't need to further get like a massive injury. So

155
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: maybe the Jets face another backup quarterback and they get

156
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 1: the win over the Bears. But like, we need to

157
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: be realistic about Zach Wilson and him not being the

158
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: future of the Jets. Like it's just impossible. And the

159
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: worst part is this is what really really hurts. After

160
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: the game, he's asked straight up, you know, do you

161
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: feel like you let down the defense? And what leaders

162
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: do is they take responsibility. You guys, remember when Josh

163
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: Allen lost to the Jets and he was bad and

164
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: had a red zone turnover, and then a turnover deep

165
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 1: in his own end, he said, yeah, it's on me.

166
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: I played like crap, it's my fault. I'm responsible. He

167
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: took all responsibility. Zack Wilson, who was terrible by any

168
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: metric you want, like, said he didn't let the team down.

169
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: How how can you face the guy? How can you

170
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: face the team with the next practice saying that knowing

171
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 1: how bad you were. I mean, maybe you can stand

172
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: up and say, guys, I just didn't want to say

173
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: to the media, this is on me. I'm gonna be better.

174
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: Maybe you do something like that. But like when you

175
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: know you were bad and you don't own it, it's like, uh,

176
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: they're in last place in the a f C East,

177
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: but they're six and four. Yeah, listen, better record right now?

178
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: Then the Chargers, the Jets right now are not out

179
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: of the hunt by any stretch of the imagination. Now,

180
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: it didn't help that the Ravens won and the Bengals won,

181
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: Chargers did lose. I kind of sort of root for

182
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: the Chargers because justin Herbert, but basically, the Jets are

183
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: gonna be in the wild card hunt. The season is

184
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: not over. The Colts losing was huge, so right now

185
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: the wild Card probably will come down to Bengals, who

186
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: have a brutal schedule coming up, Jets and Chargers and

187
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: folks a Chargers injuries. Mike Williams comes in, makes a

188
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: great catch and he's hurt. Like we can we could

189
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: bemoan how bad the Jets were. We can laugh about it.

190
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: Season is not over. I would not mind seeing Joe Flacco.

191
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: I listen, I don't. I'm not a Mike White kind

192
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: of guy. He had a good showing last year, turned

193
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: into a pumpkin quickly. But Flacco is a veteran, and

194
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: I think we give Zack Wilson a quick hook against

195
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: the Bears if he shows up and vomits all over

196
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: himself again. And you know, Rob, I did open the

197
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: podcast talking about the Jets for about nine minutes. Um,

198
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: I know you're looking at a stop watch saying, bro,

199
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: we're going over here, but I had to get it

200
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: off my chest. I don't even blame you, because you know,

201
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 1: I try to watch every game as much as possible

202
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: on NFL Sunday, but you know, you've got stuff going

203
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: on with the kids and the family, and then unless

204
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: you have NFL Sunday ticket, you're relying on red Zone

205
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: or the local games that they're showing here in Los Angeles.

206
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 1: For whatever reason, the local game that we got full

207
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: broadcast was Patriots Jets, and I begrudgingly watched the hell

208
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: of a lot of that game. And he is terrible.

209
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: And I don't know if I told you on the

210
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: pot or off pot even remember because it is going

211
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: to run together. But I feel like we had this

212
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: conversation before they drafted him. I was like, what what

213
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: is it about Zack Wilson that everyone's so excited about?

214
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: Excuse me, the Mormon mahome exact, the Mormon homes And

215
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, well, did you see that throw it

216
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: his pro day? Like yeah, he's rolling to his right

217
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: launch six yards. It's like okay, and like that that

218
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,959
Speaker 1: doesn't mean anything in in NFL football. He did have

219
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: a great throw against Colorado State. He had one great

220
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: throw against Colorado and like, look, it's not the pile

221
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: on him, because it's clear that he's not ready. He's

222
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 1: not ready to be the quarterback of a team with

223
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: any real aspirations. He needs to be running a team

224
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:34,719
Speaker 1: like the Houston Texans or you know, my beloved Las

225
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 1: Vegas right, like a team, the team where you're just there,

226
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,959
Speaker 1: You're gonna take your lumps, We're gonna grow and develop.

227
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: This defense has been playoff caliber for going back to

228
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 1: midway through last season. I thought they really started to

229
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,959
Speaker 1: step it up. This season. They've been like, oh yeah, yeah,

230
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: and so he got fast tracked into this. He's not

231
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: ready to lead this team. It sounds like Derek Carry. Honestly,

232
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: I think Derek Carr to the Jets makes a hell

233
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: of a lot of sense if the Raiders do move

234
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 1: on from I thought he was pretty good in the

235
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, kind of heroic there and over time against

236
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: the Broncos. Like if he's on the market, rob like,

237
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: the Jets clearly have a defense, they're ready to be

238
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 1: a playoff team. Is he gonna win a super Bowl?

239
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I'll tell you right now. Nobody

240
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: thought Matt Stafford was winning a super Bowl when he

241
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: left Detroit. So I mean, Derek car does not have

242
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: a playoff win and I get that, but if Josh

243
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,959
Speaker 1: McDaniels wants his own, dude, there will be a market

244
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: for Derek Carr. Now, I saw the report. I don't

245
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: know if you did that, Houston which had his brother,

246
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: is attractive to Car. I don't see what the connection

247
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: is other than his brother played there and like literally

248
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 1: got his bell rung every week. I think he took

249
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: the most sacks in NFL history one season. Like maybe

250
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,319
Speaker 1: it's the no state taxes that I I don't know,

251
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: But if Car hits the market, I think the Jets

252
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: absolutely have to go in with both fists and and

253
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: do whatever they can to get him. Because listen, he

254
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: was good against Uh. I'll tell you, I'll say this

255
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: better than Russell Wilson, and Russell Wilson had like the

256
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,719
Speaker 1: best game of the season for the bron So if

257
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 1: if you want to do like a quick victory lap

258
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 1: um and if you want to like do it in

259
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: the same way that Davante Adams absolutely cooked Patrick Certain

260
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: on the game when you touched on if you haven't

261
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: seen the highlight, it's incredible. Certain is a lockdown corner

262
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: and Tay Adams as he goes by on I g

263
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: just roasted him with a one of those moves that

264
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: you see Rob where it's like a guy on a

265
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: field doing one on one drills, like with no pads

266
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: and he just destroys somebody that's what he did in

267
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: the open field, and it was like, oh my god,

268
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: it was open about like ten yards. Yeah, you know what,

269
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: I actually almost feel bad for because that thinks certain

270
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: is awesome. Like most of that game, he was giving

271
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: Davante Adams as much work as he could handle. I mean,

272
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: Davante Adams just did That's everybody like that. He's that good.

273
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: There's certain guys him Cooper Cup I know, justin Jefferson.

274
00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: A slow game on Sunday, but for the most part,

275
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: like you just they're gonna beat you and it's just

276
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: a matter of whether or not he catches it or

277
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: the quarterback games and the ball um. However, I will

278
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: not be taking a victory lap for the Raiders winning

279
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: the Toilet Bowl. Here the Super Bowl. We want the

280
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: Toilet Bowl, the Raiders against the Broncos, only because Nathaniel

281
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: cat hack it for whatever reason. Two minute warning, third

282
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: and ten, Hey, I always run the ball into the

283
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: middle of the line, get a yard punt. The Raiders

284
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: got no time outs, Hey, we'll We'll live with it

285
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: that way. No, let's throw a pass incomplete. Save the

286
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: Raiders a bunch of time, which is all the time

287
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: they needed to march down the field to kick the field,

288
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: go to overtime, and then eventually win it in overtime.

289
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: So as much as I'd like to take credit for

290
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: my Raiders escaping with the victory, that was more of

291
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: a Denver loss in my opinion than a Raider's way.

292
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: It's weird. The Russell Wilson thing at the end of

293
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: regulation was strange because rob on Monday we saw Taylor

294
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: Heineke in the exact same spot against the Eagles. Instead

295
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: of throwing it away, he just slid down, took the knee.

296
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: Now he got lucky and that the Eagles drilled him.

297
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: But if if Russell Wilson just slides down, I'm fairly cut.

298
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: The Raiders are out of time out like thirty five

299
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: seconds or thirty four seconds would have melted off the

300
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: clock and the Raiders don't have as much time. So

301
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: just Russell Wilson not locked in. I kind of wanted

302
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: to wait later this morning to record the pod because

303
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: I didn't know if Hacket would be bounced. He could

304
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: get dusted today. I mean it could be texting me

305
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: about like how late could we wait before we got

306
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: it published, because I think this would come down any minute.

307
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: It might be the least happy Thanksgiving of anybody. I'm

308
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: trying to think back, Urban Meyer at least made it

309
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: through Thanksgiving, right, I think it was like first weekend

310
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: dissembling games. I think, so it might have been exact,

311
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: might have been right around here. Let me let me,

312
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: let me yeah. I mean at this point the owners

313
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: are just like, get that, get this crap out of here.

314
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: Um yeah, so yeah, he made it well passed Thanksgiving maybe, okay? Yeah?

315
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: Or Urban of course is in the locker room. Hack

316
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: is just staggering in aptitude. And the worst part is

317
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: they don't have their own pick from the Russell Wilson trade.

318
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,719
Speaker 1: So it's like, I think it's seventh right now that

319
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,679
Speaker 1: goes to Seattle, and Seattle's on the uptick now they

320
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 1: were on a bi It was a weird Sunday because

321
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 1: it felt like there were no good games. Washington Houston

322
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:23,880
Speaker 1: was unwatchable, Philadelphia Indie was bad until Philly storm back

323
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 1: at the end, Rams who lost Stafford to a concussion.

324
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: I don't know what the hell he was playing for.

325
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: They lose to the Saints. Another bad game, Detroit, New

326
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: York Giants stunk. I feel like guys I feel like

327
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 1: I talked about this, Rob. Maybe I'm wrong. Last week

328
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 1: Sae Kwon Barkley against Houston had thirty five carries, and

329
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,360
Speaker 1: I'm like, what I think I even said? Like why

330
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 1: is he carrying about thirty five times against Houston? A

331
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: week later, Sae Kwon Barkley fifteen carries twenty two yards

332
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: against Detroit. Rob, Detroit doesn't have a run defense. The

333
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: longest care for Sakewon Barkley was four yards. I don't

334
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: want to say that Dable ran him into the ground,

335
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: but thirty five car reason and then a week later

336
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 1: he had fifteen and now he's on a short week.

337
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: Do the Giants play on things? Yeah? They played the

338
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: Cowboys on Thanksgiving? Dude. If you look at the Giants

339
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: by the way, they suffered like two injuries on the

340
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 1: offensive line, two in the secondary. Dude, they are so

341
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: beat up right now. If you're I mean, you don't

342
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 1: want to bet the Cowboys off a huge win like that?

343
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 1: And we'll get to the Cowboys, but like the Giants

344
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 1: are in rough, rough shape. Um, what do you want?

345
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: Should we do Cowboys Vikings? Rob? Next? I mean, is

346
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 1: there any other game? I mean, I'm looking at the

347
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 1: games and I'm like my notes and I'm like, yeah,

348
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: Aidan Hutchinson played well for the lines, Okay, next you know,

349
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: it's like there just wasn't a lot of Like even

350
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: Steelers Bengals was not a great game. It was TJ.

351
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 1: Watt had a sick interception. It was the worst Sunday

352
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: we've had so far this NFL season. Yeah, I would

353

357
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 1: as the game of the week and a lot of

358
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: people were like, hey, the wrong team has favored Minnesota,

359
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. We had the Bookmaker on I think

360
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: Friday's podcast and I was listen, like Dallas, you know,

361
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 1: and then Dallas comes out and absolutely smashes the living

362
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: daylights out of Minnesota in I don't know, it's weird.

363
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: So last week, Minnesota gets we would all agree lucky

364
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: as hell to come back and be buffalo. Dallas gets

365
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 1: you could call it unlucky. Green Bay comes back and

366
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 1: stuns them. How do you respond to adversity? We talked

367
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 1: about this all the time in life sports. Dallas off

368
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: a gut wrenching loss where you know McCarthy was just like, oh,

369
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 1: they have the largest road win and franchise history. I mean,

370
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 1: Michael parsons I even said it worst game of his career,

371
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 1: not just season, career. Zero pressures last week. Oh, five pressures,

372
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 1: two sacks, five quarterback hits. Oh okay, pretty good game.

373
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: The Cowboys got seven sacks with the four men rush,

374
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: not even blitzing. I'm just saying the Minnesota Vikings, I

375
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: don't want to throw around fraud. Eight what they eat

376
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: in two tough to call an eight and two team

377
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: of fraud. They have a negative point di ferential rob

378
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: They played three good teams. They were down I think

379
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: seventeen in Buffalo, came back in one, got pubbled in Philadelphia,

380
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:44,959
Speaker 1: and they got destroyed at home by Dallas. Do you

381
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: have faith in this team winning a big playoff game

382
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: against anybody good? Like, if San Francisco is facing Minnesota

383
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, I gotta figure San Franz gonna be

384
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 1: favored by at least three. I mean San Francisco, San Franciscos,

385
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: you gonna bullied these guys. Minnesota lost the left side

386
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: of their offensive line. They're great tackle who we talked

387
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 1: about last week. Derris Saw had the concussion. I don't

388
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,199
Speaker 1: know if they rushed a guy back or what. He

389
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: gets another concussion. They've already ruled him out for Thanksgiving.

390
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: He's their best offensive lineman and Pro Football Focus had

391
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: him as the number one left tackle this season. He's

392
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:25,679
Speaker 1: out for Thanksgiving. The Vikings, dare I say, are reeling.

393
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: They got to the red zone once at home. Three

394
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: point four yards were play justin Jefferson. How do you

395
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: follow up the greatest catch in NFL history of I

396
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 1: don't know. I didn't do anything. I didn't have been fantasy.

397
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 1: He was horrible by his standards. He was at three

398
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 1: for thirty six. I'm like that. By the way, I

399
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 1: totally speaking of fantasy. I had a last minute change.

400
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 1: I pulled Tony Pollard because I saw Kenyan Drake was starting,

401
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 1: because Gus Edwards is out. Kenyan Drake has put up

402
00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: good numbers. Carolina stinks defensively, and then Baltimore does nothing

403
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,719
Speaker 1: and Tony Pollard has the greatest game of his career.

404
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:11,360
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard, by the way, had his longest play from scrimmage,

405
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: sixty eight yard touchdown, and I just saw this. He robbed.

406
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard is having the greatest season of his career.

407
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 1: He has never had this many yards from scrimmage and

408
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:25,360
Speaker 1: there are seven games left. You look at the Cowboys

409
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 1: weapons man, and this is I think gonna be the

410
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: spicy take that a lot of people are pushing this week.

411
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham, according to Jay Glazer, is down to the

412
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 1: Cowboys and Giants. That was before Sunday's games. You ain't

413
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: going to play for Vanilla Vick in New York. Danny

414
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: Dimes turned into a pumpkin, as I like to say,

415
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 1: hadn't thrown an interception in like over six games. He

416
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: had two of them against Detroit. Okay. Dak Prescott adds

417
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: O'Dell Beckham to this Cowboys team. Cheez, I don't know.

418
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: Eagles are reeling, folks. Dallas Gotter is like a real

419
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: big loss. I know he's a really good tight end,

420
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: but you could just see between the blocking and the

421
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: safety blanket aspect, they missed him. They struggled to move

422
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: the football. A J. Brown had a fumble like it

423
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: was just a weirdly bad game for the Eagles, but

424
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 1: they wont That's all that matters. And I just I

425
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: look at this Dallas team. If they are able to

426
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: out Odell Beckham Jr. This week, you're talking about Odell

427
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: Gallop ceedee lamb. They're they're gonna have a fresh er

428
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: Zeke for the playoffs because he missed a couple of games.

429
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: They barely used him. Tony Pollard's got that spicy moves

430
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 1: man in the open field. Dude, he's nasty. You want

431
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard on your team. And if DA can return

432
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: to form that that defense, folks, listen. I know Dallas

433
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: hasn't made a Super Bowl since like the mid nineties,

434
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: but this team has the potential to be closed rob Again.

435
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: You don't want to overreact to one loss or one win,

436
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: but when you go on the road and beat Minnesota

437
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 1: by thirty seven in their house and you just like

438
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 1: they get to the Red Zoade once against this defense,

439
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, there's a case to be made

440
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 1: if Odell goes to Dallas. I think you've got to

441
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: put the Cowboys right there with the Niners and Eagles

442
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: as the best teams in the NFC. It's clear they're

443
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 1: better than the Minnesota Vikings. The Minnesota Vikings eight and

444
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: two with a minus two point differential. Even the Jets

445
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: have a positive point differential. And I know what you're saying, Well,

446
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: what does point differential means? Well, just remember Raiders last

447
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,719
Speaker 1: year get to the playoffs negative point differential, lose, and

448
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: what do they have this year? You stepped up in

449
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:46,360
Speaker 1: class twice and you got just pulverized Dallas. I think

450
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,439
Speaker 1: there's something there. If they had Odell, this team is nasty.

451
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: I still think rob the best team in the league.

452
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody would argue is the Kansas City Chiefs.

453
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes is now won twenty five straight games in

454
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: November and December. It's weird. The Chargers scored to take

455
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: the lead and it was like, okay, my home sign.

456
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: The only time he didn't come through that I remember

457
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: was against Buffalo. I don't remember who. There are other

458
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 1: losses to but in the Buffalo game, you expected Mahomes

459
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: to go to distance. He threw kind of a weird

460
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: interception um, but this time no such luck. Pachero. I

461
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 1: don't even know how to say that. He had Pacheco,

462
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 1: thank you. He had a nice game, but it was

463
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey, who before I saw all these gibrones. Kelsey

464
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: can't do anything against Derwin James. I mean, I know

465
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: you saw it, Rob, all these stat guys look at

466
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: it with Derwin James plays, Kelsey's locked up. Travis Kelsey

467
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: six for one, three touchdowns and the game winner on

468
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: Derwin James on them like cooked him at the line

469
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 1: of scrimmage on I guess like across he was coming

470
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,919
Speaker 1: across the field, caught it and nobody could catch big rumble.

471
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: And Travis Kelsey, who looks like Gronk out there. Man,

472
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 1: he is just a bad dude. And it doesn't matter

473
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 1: that they didn't have Juju Smith Schuster. MVS came back

474
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: briefly then left the game again. Some of these guys

475
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 1: coming back from concussions. Dude, what is the rush guys? Um?

476
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: Who's the other guy? Mikole Hardman is on I r

477
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: CA Darius Tony got hurt and left the game. He's

478
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 1: throwing my homes is throwing to Justin Watson, Rookie sky More,

479
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: some tight end named Fortsun and he wins on the

480
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: road against the Chargers. The guy he's got to be

481
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,679
Speaker 1: the m v P I don't want to hear anything else. Rob, No,

482
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 1: I one pcent agree with you. It's it's part of

483
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: the reason why I was getting some side eyed before

484
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 1: the season when they said who are you picking to

485
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl? As the Chiefs, Like, oh what, no,

486
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: Tyree Hill. I'm like, yeah, but Patrick Mahomes really good. Um.

487
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 1: But I have a couple of I don't know if

488
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,679
Speaker 1: they're hot takes or spicy takes me new things. They

489
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 1: just I want to start a dialogue because I don't

490
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 1: know if I even I fully believe, but I just

491
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: want to talk about it. When are we going to

492
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: have the conversation about Justin Herbert? Oh, stop the conversation. Okay,

493
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: it's great. Justin Herbert physically is a stud. He is

494
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 1: he can make every single throw. He's big, he's strong,

495
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:18,120
Speaker 1: he's fast. I think that he is what top three

496
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: or four most talented quarterbacks in the NFL. However, however,

497
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:30,239
Speaker 1: here we go sub five as a starter, which I know, like, hey,

498
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are not a stats onner. Quarterbacks that well, it

499
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 1: only applies for Tom Brady. Apparently Tom Brady is the

500
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 1: only one where wins are a quarterbacks that otherwise it

501
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 1: doesn't count. So if it applies for Tom Brady, it's

502
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:45,360
Speaker 1: applied for everybody, so he doesn't win. He has a

503
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 1: propensity for throwing fourth quarter interceptions. Done that and at

504
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: least three of their losses, including the last two last

505
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: night obviously, the game sealing interception San Francisco game sealing interception.

506
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: Early you're in the season, throws that pick six at

507
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 1: the goal line to Kansas City, which I used the

508
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 1: game cover the spread both times against the case this season.

509
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 1: Thirteen th QBR eighteenth th passer rating, fourteenth completion percentage,

510
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: and this is the one that's really damning, thirty feet

511
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:24,880
Speaker 1: in yards per attempt. So again, if he has all

512
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 1: of these skills and all of this talent, which I

513
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 1: think he absolutely does, he has who many consider to

514
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 1: be the best receiving running back in the NFL, and

515
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: Austin Neckler undraft you used to add the obligatory undrafted

516
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: unjusted Asteckler fantasy Maven Austin Neckler. Shouldn't we expect a

517
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: little bit more from Justin Herbert. He's widely regarded as

518
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: one of the elite young players in all of football.

519
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: He's up there. They talk about him like he's mahomes like,

520
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: he's Josh Allen, you know, Joe Burrow, pick whoever your

521
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: favorite guy. They're like, yeah, he's right there with him,

522
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: but he doesn't match up with them in any of

523
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: the major categories, whether it's wins that. I mean, he

524
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: has the yards per game, but that's because he's throwing

525
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: the ball fifty five times. M hm. So I don't

526
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: know how much of it is him. I don't know

527
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 1: how much of it is Brandon Staley is like the

528
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: Clay Hilton of the NFL, where he's just maybe he's

529
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: just a nice guy and he's getting less with more

530
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: than anybody else in football. I don't know what it is,

531
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: but at some point we need to have that conversation

532
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: about justin Herbert's But if you're this good, which we've

533
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: all been led to believe, why aren't you producing in

534
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: the wind column? Okay, so I I guess we'll start here.

535
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: I have some notes a fourth quarter interceptions I don't

536
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: have the numbers for in front of me. I just

537
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: looked them up. I would like to see how many

538
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: of those were when trailing, because it seemed to be

539
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: an ongoing theme that the Chargers always find himself Stralian

540
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 1: because the defense stinks. They've never been able to stop

541
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 1: the run or figure out someone who can stop the run. Now,

542
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: Brandon Staley is a defensive guy, was brought in to

543
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: stop the run, and Patchecko just rush for a hundred

544
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: yards of the Chiefs. Um, I think he's a rookie.

545
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: They can't stop the run. Number two is you know.

546
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the box score and I'm like, oh, well,

547
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: how did Gerald Evert? Do you know? It's good to

548
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: have a You get a young quarterback, you get a

549
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: nice young tight end, somebody who's talented as like a

550
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: safety blanket. I'm looking, I'm looking. I don't see a

551
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: catch for Gerald Evert. So then I see the name

552
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: of somebody who I've never heard of in my life,

553
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: and I click on it. I'm like, oh, he's the

554
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: tight end. His name is Stone Smart. It sounds like

555
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: a porn star. Stone Smart, a rookie out of O

556
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 1: d U. He caught a pass a six yard reception.

557
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: That's your tight end. We know that he took five

558
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: sacks against the Chiefs. Well help, It doesn't help to

559
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 1: lose both your tackles. The last couple of weeks, Um

560
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 1: offensive line has been an issue. The checkdown stuff in

561
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: the yards pertempt, Yes, that has been a big problem.

562
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: It didn't help that he was without Keenan Allen and

563
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 1: Mike Williams. You noticed early in the game with Keenan

564
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 1: Allen and Mike Williams they open it up, go right

565
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: down the field and you're like, oh, this is the

566
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: charger Steve I'm used to. Then Mike Allen get Mike

567
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: Williams gets hurt, and Keenan Allen was good and effective,

568
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: but again, Josh Palmer is leading the way for them. Now.

569
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: I know you look across and say, what about you

570
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: just said Justin Watson and sky More. Yeah, it's what

571
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 1: fifth year quarterback Patrick Mahomes with one of the best

572
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: offensive minds coaches in the last in the generation. Where

573
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 1: would you put Andy Reid in terms of coaches? Yeah,

574
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 1: it helps that he got my homes. Maybe usually maybe

575
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: the conversation then is stop pairing these guys to Patrick Mahomes. Yeah,

576
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: maybe that's what it is. I mean, because it's like, no,

577
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: I mean it's not even just who wich I think

578
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 1: we all but they would rather have my homes. But

579
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: it's like, these guys get talked about like they're in

580
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 1: the same category and and apparently he's not, like they're not.

581
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: It's mahomes a giant gap. And then whoever your next

582
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: group is, they're all kind of lumped together and week

583
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 1: to week you don't know what you're gonna get from him. Yeah,

584
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: I'll tell you right now. Justin Herbert, I think is

585
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 1: right there with Josh Allen, no doubt in my mind.

586
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: I'll say this. If the Chargers end up getting Sean

587
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: Payton is their next head coach, we can point back

588
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: to this and all laugh and say, damn, coaching kind

589
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 1: of does matter in the NFL because we know the

590
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: first first coach that he had was a guy named

591
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: by Anthony Lynn. What's Anthony Lynn doing right now? I

592
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 1: don't even think he's in the league. He briefly was

593
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: in Detroit and that did not last long. Now he's

594
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 1: got them, but the immortal combination of Joe Lombardi as

595
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: the o C and Anthony I'm starrying, not Anthony Lynn,

596
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 1: he's gone, and Brandon Staley, a defensive guy as as

597
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: a head coach. Rob I'm just gonna say, be patient.

598
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 1: I know we could bash Herbert. They're only five and five,

599
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 1: you know. And I'm not trying to bash him. I

600
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: I just I feel like you don't want him being discussed. Yeah,

601
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: like you know, I mean, at some point it has

602
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 1: to matter. I'm not saying it's the be all end all,

603
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: you know, because obviously I think he's a very talented player.

604
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: But it's like Joe Burrow was able to turn a

605
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: team around in a historically losing franchise, you know, with

606
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 1: with a crappy with a crappy head coach, exactly granted Um,

607
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 1: and he had a terrible offensive line. I think he

608
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: was sacked the most in the league last year. What

609
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 1: helped him make the jump to lightspeed was that guy

610
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase. Now, I don't know how the Chargers go

611
00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: about getting a Jamaar Chase. There probably isn't one in

612
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 1: this draft. I don't think Jordan Addison of US he's good,

613
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: but he's doing Jambar Chase. Um. But what did you

614
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: say coming into the season, People said that the Chargers

615
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 1: had probably a top three or four roster, and then

616
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: that's every year they have one of those rosters, and

617
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,720
Speaker 1: they just frustrating. And you see them a lot because

618
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:20,240
Speaker 1: you're a Raiders guy um. If they don't make the playoffs,

619
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: I don't see how you bring Staley back and but

620
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: almost I know this is gonna sound terrible. Charge of

621
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 1: fans will hate it. It might be a better thing

622
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 1: if they did miss the playoffs, so they get a

623
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:37,320
Speaker 1: guy like Now. Let's look at their schedule. Cardinals, probably

624
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 1: a win. Cardinals on a short week coming back from Mexico. Raiders, Dolphins, Titans, Cults, Rams, Broncos. Interesting,

625
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 1: that's a nine win team. I don't know, man, I

626
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: don't want to revisit the Jets, but Rob, I think

627
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: the Jets have an easier schedule than the Chargers, and

628
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:59,360
Speaker 1: they're a game up in the Winds column. Jets have

629
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 1: Bear I we'll see what happens with Justin Fields if

630
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:07,320
Speaker 1: he doesn't play. Jets should should win that at Vikings

631
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: will give it a loss, although the Jets defense will

632
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 1: give Kirk Cousins some problems and source Gardner against Justin Jefferson.

633
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 1: We'll see at Bills. Bills will get paid back. Lions

634
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 1: not a layup of a win. Jets should beat the

635
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 1: Jags at Seattle. At Miami, I think the Jets are

636
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 1: gonna be right there. But I've talked enough about the Jets.

637
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 1: Let me just see if there's anything else in my notes. Yeah, yeah,

638
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 1: I think the Odell Beckham I think is going to

639
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: be the big one to watch this week, along with

640
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:39,359
Speaker 1: Nathaniel Hackett's job security and uh, well, I believe Friend

641
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 1: of the I'm almost positive friend of the show. Ian

642
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:46,720
Speaker 1: Rappaport said after Thanksgiving was when who's gonna make a decision? Aft? Okay,

643
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: so obviously, yeah, yeah, he's not gonna want to come

644
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 1: on a short weekend, right, but that that would be Dallas. Listen,

645
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones would have to get excited. Now. The Cowboys,

646
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: I guess, have an outside chance of still winning the division.

647
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 1: They do get one more with Philly. I don't have

648
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:05,760
Speaker 1: the tiebreaker after that in front of me. But Dallas

649
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 1: the two games back, that's gonna be tough to overcome.

650
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:17,280
Speaker 1: They have Dallas has Giants, Colts, Texans, oh my gosh, Jaguars,

651
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: so they should win their next four then Eagles, Titans commanders. Interesting. Huh, Well,

652
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, you know he's uh, he's gonna be all

653
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,800
Speaker 1: geek this week and do fifty radio interviews that have

654
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: spent time with his family. Because that's what billionaires do. Um, Rob,

655
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 1: we can quickly before I do abbreviated best bet Any

656
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: thoughts on the Lakers, absolutely rolling the San Antonio Spurs.

657
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 1: I think the Lakers all right there? That two in

658
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 1: a row for them, that's three in a row. Are

659
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 1: you kidding me? Oh my gosh. I listen, it was

660
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 1: a big sports weekend. I didn't pay a ton of attention.

661
00:36:54,880 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis continues to percolate without Lebron James conspiracy. Sorry Rob, ready,

662
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 1: I'm ready. Lebron is sitting out rested the abductor or

663
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: whatever the strain is so a d can be showcased

664
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 1: and they can move them. I love the tinfoil hat conversation?

665
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 1: Is that? Is that two out a little? It's a

666
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 1: little spicy. That's probably spicier than my justin Herbert conversation

667
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 1: that I wanted to have. Well, I mean, Lebron made

668
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 1: those comments on the shop, remember the Packers stuff. Yeah,

669
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,280
Speaker 1: but I don't think that applies to trading Anthony Davis,

670
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:39,720
Speaker 1: trading Russell Westbrook or someone else, pat ev whatever, trading

671
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:41,399
Speaker 1: pat V. I didn't I had not heard that one.

672
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,399
Speaker 1: Um Jennis Shrewder's back. I didn't even notice. He is back,

673
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:45,879
Speaker 1: not doing, not doing a whole heck of a lot.

674
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:49,839
Speaker 1: But he's coming back from best up from So so

675
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 1: Lakers have won three in a row. They're up to

676
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 1: five and ten. There's no Sacramento King, who, by the way,

677
00:37:55,080 --> 00:38:00,040
Speaker 1: are freaking hot. Oh gosh. Yeah, so the Lakers of

678
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 1: beating the Spurs, Pistons, and Nets. Some reality will set

679
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:08,479
Speaker 1: in when they get smoked by the Sun's on Tuesday. Yeah,

680
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:10,799
Speaker 1: they got the Sun's next um. But just I just

681
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 1: wanted to toss out to the lake. How's Darvin Ham doing?

682
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 1: You're happy with his performance? He's okay. I will say this,

683
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 1: file this one away for later when I don't have

684
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 1: We don't have time to get into it because the

685
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:23,399
Speaker 1: NFL season. Avoid until you know it wraps up. Keep

686
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 1: an eye though, on a potential Russell Westbrook or whoever

687
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 1: not a d trade involving the Chicago Bulls. What's going

688
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: on Chicago, I believe is six and ten entering this

689
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: morning Monday. Zach Levine was bench down the stretch over

690
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,879
Speaker 1: the weekend. Bench went went public and said I should

691
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: be in the in the end of these close games. Uh,

692
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: look at Marta Rosen having a He's scoring okay, but

693
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 1: having a rough shooting, you know from the three point line.

694
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 1: Looks like last season was aberration. Just saying, keep an

695
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,839
Speaker 1: eye on the Chicago first Why why did he ben

696
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 1: Zack d I have no idea, but just keep an

697
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: eye on them. Deciding maybe around Christmas time, let's enter

698
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 1: the big VIC sweepstakes. Let's unload these guys. Lakers got

699
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 1: two first round picks and a massive expirent. There's no

700
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 1: way they can get Maybe maybe they get the Rosen

701
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 1: and Vouch. Maybe they get uh, maybe they get Levin straight.

702
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: You know, I'm just saying keeping the filing away. We

703
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 1: don't got time to get into it today, but file

704
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: it away all excited. Well, here's the problem, Rob. The

705
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:36,759
Speaker 1: World Cup is underway. If anybody watched, um, you know,

706
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: Ecuador got the w over Qatar. I gave that bed

707
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 1: out on my Instagram stories. Want to know. Heading into

708
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: today's matchups and you know, Rob, the USA plays at

709
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 1: to eastern eleven a m. Pacific, I'm assuming that basically

710
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 1: the world is gonna stop for this or does that

711
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:59,320
Speaker 1: happen on Friday for the England game? Oh, Friday is

712
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,799
Speaker 1: gonna be ridiculou is your wife taking off work just

713
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 1: to watch? Absolutely? Are you kidding me? I'm gonna buy

714
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,439
Speaker 1: a new TV just to watch the World Cup? Buy

715
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,399
Speaker 1: a new TV from US A well. So the good

716
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 1: news bad news is if the US loses, it feels

717
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 1: like the World Cup is over because then it's like

718
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 1: an empty the tank game against England on Friday. Because

719
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 1: you I think the percentage I saw was if you

720
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:23,400
Speaker 1: win your first game, you have like anent chance to advance.

721
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: If you lose your first game, you have like an

722
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 1: eleven percent chance. At least That's what I think I saw.

723
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,840
Speaker 1: So you know, the worst case scenario, you gotta draw that.

724
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 1: That's fine. But I have already bet the US to

725
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 1: win this game. Um. It was probably a little more

726
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:41,240
Speaker 1: with my heart um than anything, because let's be realistic.

727
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 1: Come on, like they're good, but they're not like they're

728
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: they're not incredible. Um. The other bets I have for

729
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 1: today US A plus one to win Senegal, Netherlands draw

730
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 1: plus three hundred, England to score exactly one goal against

731
00:40:56,520 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 1: Iran plus two thirty five. The logic they're being in Land,

732
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 1: I think they're totally happy getting a goal, getting to

733
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 1: win in the first game and just getting out of there.

734
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 1: Iran is actually not terrible. I had some some people

735
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 1: selling me like they be careful, Iran could pull the upset.

736
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not really going there. Um, but the

737
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 1: beauty is Fox has a calendar on the World Cup

738
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:23,799
Speaker 1: in this month, and Rob, I don't know if you've

739
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:25,800
Speaker 1: seen this, I listen, even if you're not into soccer.

740
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 1: It is the World Cup. It's once every four years.

741
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 1: There there's a calendar for every day there's soccer matches,

742
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 1: and it's crazy. There's only like four days in the

743
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 1: entire month that there isn't a World Cup game. It's like, dude,

744
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 1: are you kidding me? Yeah, So there's soccer for the

745
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 1: next two weeks. Solid the seventh and eighth of December

746
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 1: there are no games, and then the week of the

747
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 1: eleventh there are four days with no games. But basically

748
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 1: this is like March Madness on steroids. Rob, So I

749
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 1: am extremely stoked and obviously if the US does does well,

750
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 1: I will be um even more on Cloud nine. Unfortunately,

751
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:08,760
Speaker 1: this means I think the NBA gets a short shrift,

752
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,800
Speaker 1: which for Lebron, who you know, is a behind the

753
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 1: scenes kind of guy, maybe Lebron uses the World Cup

754
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 1: as like a cover to make a move somewhere for

755
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 1: the Lakers. Okay, yeah, by the way, to the seventeen

756
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 1: of you who tuned in to hear my take on

757
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:31,840
Speaker 1: the Kyrie Irving army that showed up outside of Barclays

758
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 1: And I'm not even kidding. It was like an army

759
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 1: of guys in like stormship. Uh what are they? Um

760
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 1: not storm? Yeah, Stormtrooper's formation standing there all wearing the

761
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 1: same color. Rob and like chanting and singing, and I,

762
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,319
Speaker 1: I honestly was like a little unnerved. I'm like, well,

763
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 1: what the hell's going on here? These guys aren't Christmas caroling?

764
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 1: And then Jalen Brown jumped in, Listen, I don't want

765
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: to get into it now. I don't even think we

766
00:42:58,160 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 1: can file it away because Rob is gonna be like,

767
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 1: we're not going on down that road. I just Jalen

768
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:08,239
Speaker 1: Brown learned quickly what Kevin Durant has found out and

769
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:14,399
Speaker 1: took two years following Kyrie Irving not a good move.

770
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 1: Just be careful, guys. Fox Sports Radio has the best

776
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:41,400
Speaker 1: your best bet. We'll wrap up with a best bet

777
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 1: Robins Cardinals tonight. Your interest level in this matchup? Did

778
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 1: you have? Maybe you have Fantasy Radius A huge interest

779
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:53,320
Speaker 1: in this matchup because I need to uh DeAndre Hoggins

780
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:55,359
Speaker 1: to go off in one league and then another league.

781
00:43:55,440 --> 00:44:00,359
Speaker 1: I have McCaffrey and Debo, soe, I'm gonna need uh

782
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 1: cornucopia of points to come tonight in this game. Thanksgiving

783
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: a reference here. Um, here's the big problem. DeAndre Hopkins

784
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 1: was listed as questionable. I almost put him on the bench,

785
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:14,280
Speaker 1: so I had to put him in the slot position

786
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:16,279
Speaker 1: because I didn't know what was gonna be up. The

787
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 1: line is pinged between seven and a half and eight.

788
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 1: I'm on Cardinals at eight. I think they win. Um,

789
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:24,799
Speaker 1: you know, I've I've heard some scuttle but that this

790
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:27,360
Speaker 1: could be close to a home game for San Francisco

791
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:31,759
Speaker 1: in Mexico. For this one, I don't know, may I

792
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:33,839
Speaker 1: don't know if they like the forty niners or forty

793
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 1: Niners fans are heading down there to celebrate Thanksgiving. Bottom line,

794
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:39,360
Speaker 1: I'm on the Niners. I know that's a big number

795
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:42,279
Speaker 1: to lay, even in a neutral side game. I just

796
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:45,320
Speaker 1: am not buying anything that Arizona is selling. I feel

797
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 1: like there are fractures in the team. Would not be

798
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 1: surprised if they bubble up and if that pass rush

799
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 1: is as relentless as expected against an offensive line likely

800
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:59,439
Speaker 1: down four starters. Kyler Murray's not gonna want to smoke.

801
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 1: He didn't want it against Aaron Donald. He usually does

802
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 1: not want it, and I think San Fred could get

803
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 1: to him, rattle him. This could be like ninety Niner role.

804
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 1: That's my guests. So I'm on the Niners. I'm not

805
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:14,719
Speaker 1: touching the total, but it is crashing a little bit,

806
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:18,400
Speaker 1: uh rob any any pick you know what? I I

807
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:21,799
Speaker 1: lean Cardinals in this one. Now shop around for the

808
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 1: best price. I see, like you said, seven and a half,

809
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 1: I see this is eight and a half of some

810
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 1: of these spots here online, especially the off shore stuff.

811
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 1: I leaned the Cardinals getting the eight and a half

812
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:35,240
Speaker 1: because I think this game is going to be where

813
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:39,839
Speaker 1: the actual football is more of a beat down than

814
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 1: what the score indicates, because that's just the way the

815
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 1: car the Niners play. They'll bludging you to death and

816
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 1: you look at like you're only down by nine points,

817
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 1: like it's not that bad, but it's like, no, you

818
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 1: haven't got past midfield. And they have seven minute drives

819
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 1: back to back. So this is one of those games

820
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 1: where I think that the Niners comfortably win. But as

821
00:45:57,120 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 1: far as the spread, I think Arizona is gonna cover this, right.

822
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 1: I may be speaking a little harshly here because I

823
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 1: do like Cliff Kingsbury. Is this as big of a

824
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 1: gulf in head coaching matchup as you'll find in the NFL.

825
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 1: Shanahan widely regarded his top five. I know he hasn't

826
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:17,440
Speaker 1: won a Super Bowl, but he's one of the top

827
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:20,720
Speaker 1: five offensive offensive minds in the league. And Cliff Kingsbury

828
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:23,760
Speaker 1: is not highly regarded, has been known as a choke artist.

829
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 1: It's now the second half of the season, rob when

830
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:32,799
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury historically has done his worst work. Um, I mean,

831
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:34,239
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if I can say

832
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:40,240
Speaker 1: that only because didn't we earlier this season get Niners Denver?

833
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:43,880
Speaker 1: Like Week three eleven, the ten Barn burner that we

834
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 1: saw before we dock. It was a total clown, but yeah,

835
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 1: at any rate. UM. Alright, so we are back tomorrow

836
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 1: and Wednesday we are efforting a podcast with one of

837
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 1: my favorite former quarterbacks in the league that should give

838
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:04,240
Speaker 1: you a hint as to who he plays for. UM.

839
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:07,400
Speaker 1: Hopefully we'll be getting that. But good luck to the US.

840
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:10,120
