1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:04,559
Speaker 1: Damn Smith about the football. Let's picked to fund williams

2
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:08,879
Speaker 1: Hetty said, for the touchdown, kinds of time for Taylor

3
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 1: and he's got spils Hey, he's in the in zone.

4
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: It's Mark check it off. Yes, he takes it home. Smith,

5
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: he lost the handle and hands come down. I'm gonna wins.

6
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: In one of the most challenging games in NFL history

7
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: for color blind people, the Bills stuck a fork in

8
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: the around the NFL crew. They took the fork out

9
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: of their back, and they beat the New York Jet

10
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: two to seventeen in MetLife Stadium. I'm Greg Rosenthal. I'm

11
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: here with Chris westleyn We're gonna get to Dan Hansas,

12
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler. We're gonna preview all the week ten games soon.

13
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: We're even gonna get Connor or on the phone live

14
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: from MetLife Stadium in just a couple of minutes. But first,

15
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: west let's talk about this game. What what was your

16
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: big takeaway watching the Bills get a huge road win.

17
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,919
Speaker 1: It was a game that could have gone other either way,

18
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: but the big plays came out into Bill's favor. The

19
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: Devin Smith fumble on a kickoff return was a killer,

20
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: and then a couple of bad drops from Brandon Marshall

21
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: and the third down drop from Eric Decker. Uh Kellen

22
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: Davis wasn't on the same page with Ruyn Fitzpatrick on

23
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: a fourth down play in the end zone that could

24
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: have put the Jets in the lead late in the game. Yeah,

25
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: I don't think that Bills necessarily looked like a much

26
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: better team. It looked like to even teams, and the

27
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: fourth down players are what I'm thinking of. There was

28
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: the drop by Decker, There's also you know this that

29
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: set up the fourth down call where they throw it

30
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: short of the sticks to Brandon Marshall. There was a

31
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: lot of throwing short of the sticks from both teams,

32
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: and then of course the play to Davis. I liked

33
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: that Todd Bowles was aggressive throughout the night, but that

34
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: play call doing in some sort of rub route throwing

35
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: it to a guy with one catch all year was curious,

36
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: And then I think it was telling when the Bills

37
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: got the ball back. The Jets had all three time outs,

38
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: but the Bills ran the ball pretty well. There. They

39
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: get the big third down to Sammy Watkins, who had

40
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: tough time with roou Revas all night, but he turned

41
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: revas around and he's got to remember that play for

42
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 1: a long long time. That was a key playing the game.

43
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 1: And then you know, Lashawn McCoy had thirty one rushing

44
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: yards on that last drive. So just getting rid of

45
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: those time outs, burning some clock and basically ending the

46
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: Jets chances. We really screwed up and forking the Bills.

47
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: I did especially well when we forked them. We did.

48
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: I had them in the playoffs before the season, and

49
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: I was arguing for them that whole show, and then

50
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 1: I just gave up. Well, they've got this playmaking trio now.

51
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: When we forked him, no one knew when when Lashawn

52
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: mcquill will be back, when Sammy Watkins will be back,

53
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: when Carlos Williams will be back. It was our fault

54
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: for just assuming they would be injured longer than they were.

55
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,239
Speaker 1: But these guys are carrying that offense right now and

56
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 1: really it's hard to shut them down. Well, Tyrod Taylor

57
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: had one of his worst games. It was not a

58
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: good game for either quarterback. I would say Ryan Fitzpatrick

59
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: played one of his worst games of the year. Two

60
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: He made some nice throws in the in the second

61
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: half on the comeback trail, but really did not play

62
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: well overall, missed a lot of throwers. Chris Ivory looked

63
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 1: like Chris Ivory again. But uh, while we're talking, let's

64
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 1: just get our friend Connor Roar on the line here.

65
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: Who's down in the bowels somewhere of MetLife Stadium. Connor?

66
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: Are you there, buddy? What's happening everybody? It's good great

67
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: to have you on a post TNF game. You watch

68
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: this game in person. You're coming from the locker room

69
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: and the Rex Ryan press conference. Tell tell us a

70
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: little bit about what's going on after the game there.

71
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Rex just he he went full

72
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: Rex on everybody. You know, I mean that was um.

73
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: I mean that that was the performance of a life time.

74
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, he's calling out reporters from like

75
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: three years ago. Stories they wrote about them in New

76
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: York and like headlines that were you know, made to

77
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: poke fun of him. But he was here. He still

78
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: remembers it like it was unbelievable. And then he equated

79
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: um being fired by the Jets to being dumped by

80
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: a hot girl. And then he said that, uh, but

81
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: every now and then the girl calls you, but she

82
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: can't have you back and like it was just like

83
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: this unbelievable, like you could almost sell he was kind

84
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: of holding back some real emotion, Like you know, there

85
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: was another level to this, but I was holding back. Yeah,

86
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: I did not look like a man holding back. He um.

87
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 1: You know, I think there was another level to that.

88
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 1: I think there were some things that he probably wanted

89
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: to say that he couldn't, But I mean, he he

90
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: was fired up. It was it was it was pretty incredible. Well,

91
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: you were running down to the locker room, so I

92
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: don't know if you saw it. I mean, he was

93
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 1: pretty fired up at the end of the game with Uh.

94
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,119
Speaker 1: It wasn't hard to read his lips what he said

95
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: over and over f yeah, yeah, over and over at

96
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: the end of the game. And I would not blame

97
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: Dan Hansis if he skipped the start of this podcast

98
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: or this podcast in general, because I think this is

99
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: gonna be a very tough one for the Jets fan

100
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: and Dan in general to watch too, to see the

101
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: Jets lose this game in a typical painful Jets fashion,

102
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: and then to watch Rex kind of just enjoying every

103
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: minute of it afterwards. It was I mean, you know,

104
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: I think that definitely what you said, kind of the

105
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: the icing on the cake was the full on headset

106
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: and hatch spike afterwards. I mean it was just like

107
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: you know that that was just like singing the end

108
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: zone afterwards, and uh, you know it was incredible. I mean,

109
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: you know, you know that the guy wore his hard

110
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: on his sleeve. He didn't even show up um during

111
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: the pregame. He stayed in the locker room for the

112
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 1: entire pregames. So I mean that's just you know, this

113
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 1: was such an emotional endeavor for him, and you could tell,

114
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, he was he did not want

115
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: to lose this game. And you know, I think he

116
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 1: put the Patriots the head of the Jets during the

117
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: press conferences, but you could tell it was the other

118
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 1: way around. He wanted this one in the worst way. Connor,

119
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 1: these teams are both five and four. The Bills seemed

120
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: to be, uh have momentum in their favor, but the

121
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: Jets have an easier schedule in the next month. Do

122
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: you get it? Do you have a sense now of

123
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: which team is in better shape? I think we'll we'll

124
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: really be able to tell, you know, even if they

125
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: lose to New England on Monday Night next week, just

126
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: based on how well the Bills can play them a

127
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: second time. And you know, if you know, Tyrod seemed

128
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: to be limping a bit today. I mean, we'll see

129
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: how his health comes out. But for the Jets, yeah,

130
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: I mean, they've got an easier schedule of their play

131
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: calling has to get better. I mean, you know, they

132
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: they put themselves in some really bad situations tonight and

133
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: you know, I think Greg was talking about it right

134
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: before I came on, But there's a couple of calls

135
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: that are gonna be really difficult for them to explain

136
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: this week, and and that that's got to get better.

137
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: If you think about this game, though, they stopped the

138
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 1: Bills four straight three and ounce in the second half,

139
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: the Jets turned the ball over four times and the

140
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: Bills didn't turn it over at all, and yet it

141
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 1: was still down to the last drive of the game.

142
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 1: The Bills average four point four yards per play, which

143
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: is a really low number. Overall, I think the Jets

144
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: defense probably had a better night than the Bill's defense,

145
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: So I don't I don't think Jets should feel like

146
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: like their season is somehow going downhill after this game.

147
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: They I think they look maybe slightly like the better

148
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: team or or very even teams tonight. But but it's

149
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: gonna be a tough one. You can only blow so

150
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: many of these opportunities in the division. I think the

151
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: Jets have to wonder what their identity is. This is

152
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: two out of three weeks where they've been run all over.

153
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: They couldn't stop Latami's Murray, they can't stop Lashawn McCoy

154
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: and Carlos Williams. Yeah, And I mean I think that

155
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: was kind of the intent. I mean, you know, if

156
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: you're talking about the Bills, I mean that's the design.

157
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: I mean, Rex, you know, he knows he's not a

158
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: good in game coach. I mean he knows he's like

159
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: like this week where there's ten minutes left, no challenges,

160
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: But this is a team that is kind of built

161
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: not to negate these situations. But I mean, you know,

162
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: he wanted a power running team in the worst way

163
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: every year that he's been in the NFL, and I

164
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: feel like this is the closest thing that he's had

165
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: two to the offense that he's wanted, right down to

166
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: the coordinator. And I say, I feel like we're starting

167
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: to see kind of what his his vision was initially. Yeah,

168
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: that's true, and I think they'll get better in terms

169
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: of the pass rush when Mario Williams gets healthy. Thank

170
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: you Connor Uh for calling. We're gonna send this over

Speaker 1: the week ten games. But before before I do that,

173
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: I just gotta mention no, no more of the color

174
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: rush uniforms, just making it tough for all us color

175
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: blind people out there. You couldn't tell what was going

176
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,079
Speaker 1: on during the game. So enough with the color rush. Now,

195
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: Rice on YouTube. Fans all over the world, Mark on

196
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: top of the world. Even though you're under the weather,

197
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: you're on top of the world. You get that. Yeah,

198
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: it's not accurate. I mean the under the weather part

199
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: is not. On top of this is this is Mark

200
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: Sessler's flu game. Someone should write a profile in a

201
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: men's magazine called Mark Sessler has a Cold. I like

202
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,719
Speaker 1: the idea that I feel like you've made this flu

203
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 1: game analogy before in this very podcast studio. I think

204
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: with Mark I have could be wrong. It was with me, okay,

205
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: with a glass when I came back from wherever, I

206
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: was all right, it's will from the airport. How are

207
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:26,199
Speaker 1: you feeling, Mark, I, I don't know. I'm on a medication.

208
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 1: I've not really I don't take medication, and I took

209
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: uh a heavy dosage this morning, and I have no

210
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,719
Speaker 1: idea who I am aware, I will. I'm going to

211
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 1: share this just because this is a safe space. On

212
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: the podcast, we were recording our now hit and after

213
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: one of the hits busted because of graphics are Mark said,

214
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: with a straight face, I got three more in me total.

215
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: That's a total and it had nothing to do with

216
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 1: just that was Sydney behind the glass? Did you take

217
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: that as a threat from the talent challenge? I stopped,

218
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: and I stopped Sittney after to make sure that she

219
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: knew it was not not trying to be hostile. You've

220
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: actually said that same sort of thing almost every Sunday

221
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: night anyway, so it's not too well. It just felt

222
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: real this time. But we do admire you for coming in.

223
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: We know you're under the weather and it's just not

224
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: the same without you. Mark. I'm happy to be here.

225
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,959
Speaker 1: Oh oh I am. I could have decided not to.

226
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 1: I couldn't be happier to be here. Okay, good, there

227
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: we go, the whole families together. Greg It's so great,

228
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: so happy. And I saw Greg today on NFL Network

229
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 1: on the around the NFL television program High Tide Lifts

230
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 1: All Boats. Is that what they call it? Yeah, thanks

231
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: for being the star that we all look up to.

232
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 1: You're welcome. Somebody's gotta do it. So we got gotta

233
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: take the pressure a lot, a lot to get to today.

234
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: Of course, this is our Thursday early Friday, depending when

235
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: you hear it preview show before that we get into

236
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 1: those games. Uh, and let me just go over what

237
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: we have ahead Investor's two teams, four teams on by

238
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: means teams fourteen games to talk about? West, can we

239
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: take the volume down on the laptop and be a

240
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: pre and but before we get into all those it

241
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: was the math right there. You were correct, And you

242
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: heard at the top of the show of course, Uh,

243
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: West and Greg talk about the Jets and Bills. And

244
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: the good thing about this is we taped this show

245
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: before the Thursday night game. Um, so I don't know

246
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: if the Jets one or not. If the Jets would

247
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 1: have lost and then we taped it, I probably would

248
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: not have been in a good mood. But you're in

249
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: a great but I'm in a great mood because I'm

250
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 1: getting ready to see my team of Thursday football. Don't

251
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: let me down. Go confidence level one through one out

252
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: of one. Uh, that's not very strong. Well that's why

253
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: you know I'm always on guard as a Jets fan.

254
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: But yes, that game is in the past for the

255
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: listener right now, and now we moved to the future.

256
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: Like I said, we have thirteen games to talk about.

257
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: Let's start talking to out him and we'll get going

258
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: in order from the early earliest game to the latest game.

259
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: The Jacksonville Jaguars. Let's get started against the Baltimore Ravens.

260
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: And Uh, this is a game I know you guys

261
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: are very excited about. And and I will say this, Greg,

262
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 1: you I think you brought it up in the last

263
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: podcast that there's some talk, some buzz in the Crescent

264
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 1: sitting on the Crescent City. What do they call Baltimore

265
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: Charms City? Thank you please, that there is a potential

266
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: playoff run. You know you don't think it's Charms City, Bore, Well,

267
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 1: they can call themselves that. I get Brown's fan that

268
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: coming from. I get that. But there's been buzz Greg

269
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: that the Ravens think they got a playoff run in

270
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 1: them if they could just get going. But if you

271
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: don't like the Ravens, I suggest don't don't read the

272
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: Baltimore Son this week. The level of confidence from the

273
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 1: Ravens players that they are just uh an inch away

274
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: from making a run and shocking everyone and going to

275
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Just the confidence John John Harbor must have

276
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,719
Speaker 1: been preaching this throughout their bye week or whatever it was,

277
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: because they came back and they're like, well, of course,

278
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: of course we're gonna make a run. You know, there's

279
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: no there's no doubt. We totally consider ourselves in the mix.

280
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: And if you look at their schedule and you look

281
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: at the it's it's not the craziest thing in the

282
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: world to see them go on a little bit of run.

283
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 1: They got the Jags, they host, the Rams, at Browns,

284
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: at Dolphins, Like, none of those games are games where

285
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: you think they don't have a chance. I think they're

286
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: about to lose on Sunday to the team that actually

287
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: could go on a run. There's a lot more going

288
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: on with with with the Jaguars right now than the Ravens.

289
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: And I think that we've talked about this all week

290
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: with what happened with Andrew Luck one of these other

291
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: teams in the South if anyone wants this division, there's

292
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: no evidence of that that Jacksonville is a good chance

293
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: to be that team with Blake Bordle's playing away is

294
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: Can I just say the little gravel in your voice

295
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: is a little bit sexy? I honestly, I feel like,

296
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: have you ever woken up in a weird house and

297
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: within four or five minutes you remember where you were? That? Well,

298
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: it's hours later and I still don't know where I am,

299
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: So I don't know what to tell you west here feelings.

300
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: I've woke up in somebody's strange basement one time on Tybee,

301
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: but not a shock. Your thoughts on the yet, I

302
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: think you've woken up in every strange basement there isn't

303
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: tye and attic and on the beach and yeah, alright,

304
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: go ahead. Your thoughts on the Jaguars was incredible. How

305
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: much more firepower the Jaguars have on offense. The Raven's

306
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: number one receiver is a special teamer named kamar Kean,

307
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: and the Jaguars have in Robin's Allen Robinson and Alan Hearns,

308
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: the first wide receiver duo since uh the two thousand

309
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: seven Rainey Moss West Welker. They have six hundred yards

310
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: and six touchdowns by mid season. And I still I

311
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: don't think that Julius Thomas is untalented. He just hasn't

312
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: gotten on track yet. So they've got three weapons. They

313
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: are better than anything to race. But that makes them

314
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: fun to watch, and they are, but it doesn't make

315
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: them good. They are a better fantasy team than they

316
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: are reality. And Bordles is a better fantasy quarterback than

317
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: he is reality. It's the Bordles coaster. When you watch him,

318
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: it's like it's almost exa Stein. At this point, he's

319
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: got the rights matchup because Joe Flacco is the most

320
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: roller coaster quarterback in the NFL for the past few years.

321
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: That's that's totally fair. I mean the game against the

322
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: Jets was a perfect example. He had about seven or

323
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: eight outrageous plays in that game. Great throws, runs, athleticism,

324
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: throws under pressure. But he also had a fumble near

325
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: the goal line. He also had an interception. He had

326
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: an interception that Daryl Rivas should have had for a

327
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: pick six. And it's a lot of just ups and

328
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: downs with Bortle. He's never the same quarter to quarter.

329
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: And the difference I think is the stories come out

330
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: of Baltimore as the DNA of the Ravens are. They

331
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: do believe they can do this, and they've come back

332
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: from the dead before their Super Bowl season that record

333
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: at one point, they came back from the absolute grave

334
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: to win that thing. And Jacksonville Blake Bortles had quotes

335
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: this week saying, you know, we're just still a step

336
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: away from learning how to win these close games. They're

337
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: mentally somewhere different. So that's the difference with Baltimore. Mean,

338
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: maybe they out. Maybe with Baltimore, they because they speak

339
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: with confidence like they're their old Rave, but they're not

340
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: the old Ravens. It's almost like they think ray Lewis

341
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: is still on the team. And speaking of ray Lewis Sydney,

342
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 1: I would like to hear Ray Lewis's snippet of the

343
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:13,360
Speaker 1: new single that he released on his Instagram page. Uh,

344
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,400
Speaker 1: the name of the song is a strange name. It's

345
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: called can You Stand the Rain? No question Mark? So

346
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: how would you even stress out? Is that can you

347
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 1: stand the rain? Can you stand the rain? How do

348
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 1: you do without a question, without no question marks? Says,

349
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 1: can you stand the rain? Don't stress? Yeah, just put

350
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: the question mark and let's hear the snippet. That's what

351
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: I mean for women. That's why women, Women's wolves. And

352
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: that's it. That's the snippet. In other words, he released

353
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: eighteen seconds of the song and he said, I'm going

354
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: to release the best eighteen seconds of my new album.

355
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 1: Your thoughts West it's terrible? Or why would anybody listen

356
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: to that? This is not someone that I need more

357
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: of in my life? I agree with that is it's

358
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: the situation with Ray Lewis where he's got enough handlers

359
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 1: around him. I would assume this is what it is

360
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,360
Speaker 1: that have told him that he's a great rapper. Uh

361
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 1: that now he believes he's the next big contemporaries it

362
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: even rapper and we don't even get to that. Or

363
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,199
Speaker 1: is it like R and B or what when I

364
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: and the around the NFL post I called him a

365
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: rising contemporary R and B stark he should just go

366
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: by Ray Ray if he's gonna do it. Sure so?

367
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: Not a good not good ratings on that song, Give

368
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 1: it a give it a grade. I would take rising

369
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: and Star out of the sentence you wrote, I could

370
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 1: not understand the incomprehensible jubble mess coming out of his

371
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: mouth to know what to think of the song. He's

372
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 1: terrible as far as that game goes. I think, I

373
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 1: think if you're gonna pick, you know a new music

374
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: released this week, Missy Elliot, it's really the better bet

375
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: than than ray Lewis. That's how I'd go. I tweeted

376
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 1: that I listened to the Missy Elliot song right after

377
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,679
Speaker 1: the ray Lewis song and it was jarring. The Missy

378
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: song is very good. Yeah, and they look at our

379
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: picks for the week, uh Mark Sessler with the hero

380
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: pick while we stop hero picks until Greg stopped making that,

381
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: you could still keep doing it. Where's the burlap sack?

382
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: By the way, we need a studio hind your computer monitor. Yes,

383
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: remind me next week the Jaguars, uh Mark has him.

384
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: I believe it. Mark believes, well, you don't believe in

385
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: the Ravens and you like the Jaguars. That makes it's

386
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: not a bad Hero pick at all. I think it's

387
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 1: I think the Ravens are right for the picking this week.

388
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: Mark convinced me I'm going to change my pick. By

389
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 1: the way, if you if you watch this, can treat

390
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:42,719
Speaker 1: yourself to the Jared Odrick peee Herman sack dance if

391
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: he gets another sack, best sack dance in the game.

392
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: Moving on, the Detroit Lions, um just fresh off their

393
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 1: number thirty two ranking in the Around the NFL Power Poll,

394
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 1: now have to head to the Green Bay to face

395
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 1: an angry Packers team. Not a great situation for the

396
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: Lions and Aaron Rodgers, who uh really, you would think,

397
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: unless there's something seriously wrong with that offense, that he's

398
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: gonna break out sooner rather than later, and this would

399
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: seem greg to be the game where it happens. It is,

400
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: but there is something seriously wrong with that offense. The

401
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: last good front to back game Aaron Rodgers had was

402
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: Week three. That was the last time the Packers offense

403
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: looked like the Packers offense. We were talking about Aaron

404
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: Rodgers having a historical season right now, He's not. He

405
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: would admit that he's not playing confidently. He meant when

406
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 1: he missed Cobb on that key fourth down, he said

407
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: after the game, he was indecisive, and I think that's

408
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: been the scared he said, yeah, And he also said

409
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,479
Speaker 1: he's been hesitant, and he's I think he's thinking too

410
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: much right now because receivers aren't getting open and he's

411
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: not confident throwing into into tight windows. For them, Well,

412
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 1: they don't have Jordy Nelson, and they also just don't

413
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: have Eddie Lacy, who's essentially, you know, sabotage this camp

414
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 1: pain because he can't get in shape. Hey, football, he

415
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 1: said this week, and James Starks is now ahead of

416
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: Lacy on the depth chart. His quote to the media

417
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: this week is, I don't know what is hindering might play.

418
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 1: So unless he's uh, you know, playing koy, he doesn't

419
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: think it has anything to do with the way he's

420
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 1: physically built right now. He's just not performing well and

421
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: not getting opportunities. Yeah, back to Greg's point on Rogers,

422
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 1: I know in your quarterback ranks you kind of ripped

423
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 1: on him for missing throws. I thought against the Panthers

424
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 1: he made a series of some of the most incredible

425
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 1: throws in the second half. It's because his receivers aren't

426
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: getting open he has to pull off incredible He missed

427
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: about six open throws in the first half, which you

428
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 1: just don't see. You're right. The second half he was outstanding.

429
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the thing still playing pretty well, but

430
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: he missed a lot of open wasn't that throw to

431
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 1: the cop touchdown in the first half. Now that was

432
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,479
Speaker 1: the first drive of the second half. That was an

433
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: incredible but before that, Greg is correct, and watching that game,

434
00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: before that Cob play happened. No matter what the score was,

435
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 1: Green Bay's offense look completely disjointed. Then they got on

436
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: tracked and and his final numbers, look, they don't look

437
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,439
Speaker 1: like the game that I saw on the field. But

438
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: Rogers made a good point. He said we He said

439
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 1: that was schoolyard football in the second half and that

440
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: they can't rely on that. That he felt they were scrambling,

441
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 1: They're making improvised, improvisational plays. He's making that they need

442
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 1: to have some structured offense that's working, and he even

443
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: said that's that's not working for them right now. He

444
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,199
Speaker 1: really seemed to be introspective after the game in this

445
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: week about what's wrong. Maybe it will be a turning

446
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 1: point because the schedule sets up nicely for them. They

447
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 1: get the Lions twice over the next month, they get

448
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: the Bears coming up soon too. I wouldn't see what

449
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 1: Jim Bob Cooter does with this lines off came out.

450
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 1: I believe Mark wrote it where he said he wants

451
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 1: to get a mere Abdola more involved. But they haven't

452
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: really gotten anything out of Golden Pate this year. Calvin

453
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: Johnson hasn't played up to his talent level. They have

454
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 1: all of these weapons and they're not They're not really

455
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: getting anything out of them. They also seem weak to week,

456
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 1: Like in the Abdulla article, I went and looked at

457
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,120
Speaker 1: his touches over the last five games and they're all

458
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: over the map. And Calldwell basically said, well, it comes

459
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 1: down to the matchup week to week. Well, you know what,

460
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 1: how about the fact that you stink you have one win.

461
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: You have an explosive rookie. Why are you giving him

462
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: one touch against the Chiefs? Sessla in the cold Medicine

463
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: he's spitting, well, I just think it's like you have nothing.

464
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: There's some teams that are still playing coy about their

465
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: young players always. You know, we're still in this race.

466
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,439
Speaker 1: There's no reason for Detroit not They're gonna blow this

467
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: machine up to find out what you have maybe the

468
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: perfect cure not for your cold. Unfortunately, Mark, it's hard

469
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,199
Speaker 1: to pinpoint a cure for the humans basic cold, but

470
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: for a mere Abduela's inability to have a breakout game

471
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: is the Green Bay Packer defense got it out because

472
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: I hold in my hands right here the two thousand

473
00:23:52,080 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: fifteen season Week ten research notes, there's lantism set West.

474
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 1: You're asking where she's been? There she is. She's the

475
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 1: theme song of the research notes this week number on

476
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,199
Speaker 1: the Greatest Breakup Songs Ever list. She's also dressing up

477
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 1: like a chicken on Jimmy Fallon in case you're wondering

478
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: where she Also, I think it's it's twenty at the

479
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: anniversary of that album coming out. Is that way you

480
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,199
Speaker 1: brought it up the other week or no, it was

481
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 1: just just recently was I think West brought it up

482
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:24,439
Speaker 1: on Tuesday's show because that it was the anniversary. So

483
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 1: it's a big moment really for West and all the

484
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 1: more more, what do you call yourself an Atlantis Morris

485
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 1: heads Morris senate head. I'm I'm the one who said

486
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: the other day that Beck is way better than you're

487
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: one of the Morriss Senators. Lots more set, by the way,

488
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 1: while we're here, had a very nice career it wasn't

489
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,360
Speaker 1: just that album. She just never reached those heights. When

490
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: you saw twenty five million albums in your first out,

491
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: it's hard to match she did find Yeah, yeah, ironic,

492
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 1: what an all time American classic. I don't know what

493
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: that has to do with anything. You're such a music snob,

494
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: Greg by the way, you ought to know. Have you

495
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 1: noticed a little play into the research else? Yeah, it's

496
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: nailed it perfect. The Packers defense is beginning torched in

497
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: its last three games after allowing three sixteen yards per

498
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: game UH total yards per game through the first five games.

499
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: The Packers have allowed four point seven total yards per

500
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: game in three seventy five through the air in three weeks.

501
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: So while it makes sense to just bury the offense

502
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: because you expected so much more, the defense is not

503
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:28,120
Speaker 1: helping out. Yeah. I remember an Olier season conversation when

504
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: the Packers played the Rams and there was a debate

505
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 1: but who had the better defense? I think we can

506
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: settle that one. We took the Packers across the board

507
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 1: to get off the schneid. That's not snid schneid from

508
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 1: it's an old Gin term from playing cards. Thank you,

509
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 1: Christopher the Mailman. Moving on to another one pm game.

510
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: The Miami Dolphins, humbled in the Dan Campbell or after

511
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:57,120
Speaker 1: to defends two decisive losses, now travel to the Philadelphia

512
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: area to face the Eagles. The Eagles come off that

513
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: big win in overtime against the Cowboys, and I think

514
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 1: be around the NFL group believes that the Eagles are

515
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,919
Speaker 1: the favorite in the NFC East. Now. Now all they

516
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: have to do is start stacking some wins and taking

517
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,880
Speaker 1: care of the Dolphins on on their home turf. Mark Sessler,

518
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: that's what you gotta do, right, I mean, this is

519
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: the kind of game, and if we're gonna take the

520
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 1: Eagles seriously on any level, and I'm not quite sure

521
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: I do that, you've got to go in and just

522
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: roll the Dolphins team. Well, we know it won't be

523
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: close in the end, whoever wins. The Dolphins have not

524
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: played in a game this season that was decided by

525
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 1: thirteen points or less. In a season where games are

526
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 1: closer mathematically in terms of the margin of victory than

527
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 1: ever before in NFL history, the Dolphins haven't had one

528
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: remotely close game yet. As boring as it's not, the

529
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: season against it all fell apart total misinformation campaign see

530
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 1: that's why you ask a research notes to me seventeen

531
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 1: to ten the week one, leave it to me, buddy.

532
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 1: They had to come back and beat the Redskins. Greg's

533
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 1: greater point is intact, now everything has fallen apart, everything

534
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: is dark. It's mostly happen apparently it was just the

535
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: last six or seven weeks. Well, in the Campbell era,

536
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: you're not wrong there, you go alright, is one of

537
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 1: those guys that starts doing a lot of TV work

538
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: and side podcasts and then he starts losing the big picture.

539
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: Is that true? It was off a CBS graphic. It

540
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 1: was interesting scapegoat Greg quickly pointing figures at a neighboring network.

541
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: We'll see and DeMarco Murray, who was getting a ton

542
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 1: of heat earlier in the season, and he deserved. He

543
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 1: wasn't playing well. Had a really nice game last week. Uh,

544
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 1: and that's a couple of nice games in the last

545
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: um a few weeks. So you would think if he

546
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 1: is running the ball much better now, you know, we

547
00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 1: like Ryan Matthews. It's all to me, Bradford. Ultimately, he's

548
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: got to be consistent well, and this is a perfect

549
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 1: matchup for you, boy, Murray and Ryan Matthews in Miami.

550
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 1: That was one of the most listless, soft performances by

551
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: any defense all year. They just were steamrolled by the

552
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 1: Bills from snap one until the end of the game.

553
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 1: I mean, you just don't see in the NFL a

554
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 1: team have passing the ball twelve times because they just didn't.

555
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 1: They could do whatever they wanted on the ground the

556
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,439
Speaker 1: entire time. It was an embarrassing game for the Dolphins defense.

557
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,880
Speaker 1: These offenses are kind of mirror images. You've got laser

558
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: comes from the Chip Kelly offense running the Dolphins. They

559
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 1: both have burgeoning Russian attacks. Lamar Miller has been on fire.

560
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: Ja AGII looked really good and and could a had

561
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: a power element. The Eagles rushing attack has been on

562
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: fire as well. And then I think Bradford and Tannehill

563
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: are back to back in the low twenties on Grigg's

564
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: quarterback ranks, and they're both playing a little better recently.

565
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: Even Tannehill played financing. But it's not gonna get you excited. Yeah,

566
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 1: I mean, out of everybody on your quarterbacks list, I

567
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: bet he's the only hundred million dollar quarterback in that tier.

568
00:28:58,160 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: I want to see how the Dolphins run the ball

569
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 1: in this scheme because they're You're right, there are a

570
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: mirror of the Eagles and the Eagles defense two d

571
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: four yards let up two weeks ago, a hundred and

572
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: thirty four last week. Typically really good front seven, but

573
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: it's not been the same past couple of games. We

574
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 1: all took the Eagles to take care of business and

575
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 1: moved to five and four. Next up to Cleveland Browns,

576
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: who are uh at two and seven, another lost season

577
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: in Cleveland. They now travel to Pittsburgh to face the Steelers.

578
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 1: And you know, there was the belief, the general belief

579
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: as of us going upstairs, was that Landry Jones is

580
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: going to be the starter in this game. But Ben

581
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger is making a push to get on the field

582
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: on Sunday. He's out of his walking boot. His plan

583
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 1: was to practice on Thursday, limited in practice on Thursday,

584
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 1: and when he was asked before practice about his chances

585
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: of playing on Sunday, he said, quote, I hope. So

586
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 1: that's how he said it too. So we might see

587
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,479
Speaker 1: Big Ben in this game. Uh, Mark, would it make

588
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,479
Speaker 1: a difference? Do you think the Browns could pull off

589
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: the upset on the road if Big Ben's out in

590
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: the picture or is this a Steelers win. Either way,

591
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: I think it's a huge difference for any team facing

592
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 1: the Steelers. A big Ben is replaced by anyone else

593
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 1: at quarterback. But I'm not sure it matters as much

594
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: with this Brown's defense because they've really not stopped anyone

595
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: since beating the Titans in Week two. But's the only

596
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 1: time we've seen a pass rush from this defense. The

597
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 1: players that were playing well last year are not playing

598
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: well this year, which is a bad sign for this

599
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: coaching staff that I would not be like, do you

600
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 1: mean Krueger? Yea mingo who was not great last year?

601
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: But but but Krueger, for instance, was their number one

602
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 1: pass rusher and they have him dropping. It's the same

603
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 1: thing we see in Buffalo. Hayden has been hurt, but

604
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 1: Hayden has not also given up almost a perfect quarterback

605
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: rating on throws in his direction. I don't think he

606
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: came into your healthy bottom line. I have to wonder

607
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: because it just sounds everything that you read coming out

608
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: of Cleveland is that this game means a lot to

609
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: Jimmy Haslum. He is the former minority owner in the

610
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 1: Steelers organization and You've got a coaching staff in the

611
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 1: front office that are come completely at odds, every report

612
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 1: coming out of their hands, a total toxicity. Jim. If

613
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: you if you want to have these big games and

614
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: have these big special uh feeling happy god feely moments,

615
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: you gotta put a good team on the field if

616
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: you want a good results well, and you need unity

617
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 1: between your players, the people who picked the players in

618
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: your coaches, and that's not happen. I wonder if this

619
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: is the end for Patton, if they don't win this

620
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: I really did, right, So there's a bye week next week.

621
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: That That's what I was gonna ask. You think that

622
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: there could be some sort of movement either with Petton

623
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: or Ray Farmer. I I think the Farmers winning and

624
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 1: this is strange, but I I just get the sense

625
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 1: that Farmers winning the tug of war inside the building

626
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: with certain people. That's crazy to me because they were

627
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 1: seven and four last year. It's only pett and second season.

628
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: To to dump him in the middle of his second

629
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: season seems Oh. I think it's a bad idea, but

630
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 1: I could see it happening. And part of the problem

631
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: is they were they're refusing to play the young players,

632
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 1: and I think there's just a divide and that's the

633
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: exact opposite of what the Steelers are. No matter all

634
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: the chaos that's happened to this year, look where they are.

635
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 1: I mean, Mike Tomlin deserves a nod for you know,

636
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 1: he's not always been the best coach, but to get

637
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: them to this place is a remarkable effort on their part.

638
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: We have the Steelers across the board and that one

639
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: moving on. The Chicago Bears um travel to the Edward

640
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: James Almost Home and I hope, by the way, I god,

641
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: I hope that they've covered the concrete at the Edward

642
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: James Almost Home now because they had a couple of

643
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: weeks to figure it out. Reggie Bush, there's reports that

644
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: he's following a a mega lawsuit against the city of St.

645
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 1: Louis after slipping on that concrete. That's the biggest storyline

646
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 1: for me, concrete gate. But as far as the game goes,

647
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: you have the St. Louis Rams who are sitting at

648
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: four and four. You know, they gotta start We talked

649
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: about it last week. I believe they gotta start stacking

650
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 1: some winds up and the Bears, they're coming off that

651
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 1: win over San Diego on Monday night. So a short week. St.

652
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:59,239
Speaker 1: Louis at home. They're the superior team. Damn it, Greg,

653
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 1: take care of this. Rams win some games, let's go. Yeah,

654
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 1: they should, and they won't win by much because the

655
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 1: style that they play just doesn't allow them to do so.

656
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 1: We've talked to Jake Cutler. Is playing pretty well, you know, Robert. Yeah,

657
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 1: people just look past last week, Robert Quinn and Chris Long.

658
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: We're not on the field. I mean, that's that's a big,

659
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: big difference for a Rams defense that's still playing pretty well.

660
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 1: I do think they will take care of business, but

661
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: I'm not allowed to pick or else they have to

662
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 1: put the sack. And I am just so everyone knows.

663
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 1: I am getting a lot of tweets people snitching on

664
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 1: Greg saying all these picking games on another podcast. I

665
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: don't care. You don't need to snitch on that. Uh,

666
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: that's it. I just want a little announcement. Stop telling

667
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 1: me that Gregg's picking games on his other podcast. I'm

668
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: not picking all the games. It's it's a bit of

669
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 1: a bit one time for a couple of games. It

670
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: sounds funny. I mean, you do it with a world

671
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: renowned comedian. I'm sure it's a hilarious show, so there

672
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 1: will be bits of plenty. It's a bit that we

673
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: had on this shot. Wasn't that a candy for the eighties? Honey?

674
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 1: Bunches of bits? The game of bits mark you. Without

675
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,720
Speaker 1: getting into the specifics, there's over in the old NFL

676
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 1: now Mothership. Somebody's stealing some bits from this podcast on

677
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 1: there too. Huh wow, taking out a lot of personal Well,

678
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 1: I mean we see now, you see the fingerprints all

679
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:21,280
Speaker 1: over the place. I don't even know. Am I supposed

680
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 1: to get into it? No? No, no, no, no, no,

681
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: I just absolutely right. You're absolutely correct. Do you want

682
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 1: to talk about this game at all? Sure? Well, all

683
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: Sean Jeffrey has a quad. Indury did not practice Thursday,

684
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: and I don't think the Bears have a chance if

685
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 1: he doesn't play. When your whole offense, when your whole

686
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: passing attack is throwing off your back foot to one player,

687
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 1: how can you stop it? You love picking these one

688
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 1: little things that happened out when when he hit literally

689
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: like five third and longs that were normal throws in

690
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,359
Speaker 1: in the in the last of that game that Zach

691
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: Miller bails him out one time, and that that was

692
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: the first was the first down play, which was an

693
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 1: absolutely great play by Zach Miller. But if he doesn't

694
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,800
Speaker 1: catch that, they're still in great position. With great position

695
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: for Cutler, the throw's usual pick six on the It

696
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 1: really differs from quarterback to quarterback because another quarter get

697
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 1: credit for Hey, I know Alshon Jefferies better than everybody

698
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: else on the field. I'm gonna give him chances to

699
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 1: go get the ball. But with Jay Cutler it's like

700
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,439
Speaker 1: he's getting lucky thrown. Why has Jake Cutler earned any

701
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 1: of this? Well, the only thing I don't like is

702
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 1: that everyone is going crazy given Adam Gaze a crazy

703
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,760
Speaker 1: amount of credit. Wow, he's done such a great Jobler.

704
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 1: People are gonna be lining up. No, this is the

705
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: Jake Cutler we've seen forever. People just change whether they

706
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 1: like or or not based on the narrative and expectations

707
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: and the fact that Adam Gaze is friendly with every reporter,

708
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 1: and give me a break on that. It's November, So

709
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: Gaye gets to be the hottest coaching candidate until the

710
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 1: interview time comes and nobody wants it h or he

711
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,280
Speaker 1: decides he doesn't want it. Or, by the way, Jeff Fisher,

712
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:51,479
Speaker 1: you're a total scoundrel for running the ball on third

713
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: and ten last week. I didn't notice till I re

714
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 1: watch this game third and ten with a minute fifty

715
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: five to go to set up. I think it was

716
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 1: like a fifty yard field goal to tie the game.

717
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: You're not even trying to throw on third and ten

718
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: with one do a better chance of a tan yard

719
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 1: game with Todd Gurley than you do with Nick Foles.

720
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: They might agree with you, but Rams reporters were going

721
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 1: absolutely crazy on Fisher about that exact. But the third

722
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 1: down issues in St. Louis have been a disaster all season.

723
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:22,879
Speaker 1: What falls, By the way, I don't know who throws

724
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: the ball six yards in the air easier than Nick Foles.

725
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: Sometimes he's got he's got a big hose and they

726
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 1: should use it. Excuse me, It just lands, you know,

727
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 1: seven to ten yards away from the receiver. Nick Foles

728
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,399
Speaker 1: averaging six point seven in attempt and Todd Gurley only

729
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:44,280
Speaker 1: averaging five point six per tat pretty close last week's game, especially,

730
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: they were girly struggling to pop off some big ones.

731
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 1: We all took the Rams in this showdown too much.

732
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:55,720
Speaker 1: Confidence in St. Louis. I agree. Moving on, the Dallas

733
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 1: Cowboys have now lost six in a row. Will that

734
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 1: street come to an end on Sunday against the Tampa

735
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:08,280
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers. This game being played at Wes Raymond James Stadium.

736
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 1: Back has really been studying up the stadium names. I've

737
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 1: been to Raymond James Stadium really? Yes? Why when I

738
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 1: first moved to Tybee, I met a bunch of Cincinnati friends,

739
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,439
Speaker 1: like thirty guys down there? I drove down to Tampa.

740
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 1: Did you go in the ship? No, you moved to

741
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 1: Tybee and meet thirty guys? Wait, Chris Sims, Era Bucks

742
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:31,839
Speaker 1: or what? I don't recall. It was a Bengals game.

743
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: I remember hush manz Otto was still playing for the

744
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 1: Bengals because I was actually wearing Ruden. Maybe Cruden was

745
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 1: on that. It would have been Gordon's quarterback of the year.

746
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 1: He changed when he had a new one every year.

747
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 1: Was there were there any women in this group? No?

748
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 1: Isn't all guys trip? It was like all the guys

749
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,320
Speaker 1: that played softbo with way back. When do you travel

750
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 1: in like with thirty guys and a bus? Is it

751
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 1: a various cars? I drove my car from Tybee to Tampa.

752
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 1: They came down in a cruiser of some type. I

753
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 1: don't know. You can smell the farts from here on

754
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 1: that cruiser. This guys are gassing. You guys have never

755
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 1: going on a guy's trip anywhere. No, I never went

756
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 1: to Vegas, never did anything. We all how to crew

757
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 1: that big that that was seems daunting. I'm impressed. I

758
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 1: think was a bachelor party of some type. I don't know. Uh,

759
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:20,720
Speaker 1: in your common man credentials once again proving your common

760
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:24,439
Speaker 1: I don't have to prove mine, you do. I paid

761
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 1: union dudes before. This has been a big debate uh

762
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 1: in the office all week because Greg tried to put

763
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 1: me at the bottom of the common man power rankings,

764
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 1: which was a ludicrous thought, and put him above anyone.

765
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 1: I put myself fifth and you were six. Exactly. The

766
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 1: guy that drew a strawberry truck and gave Tennis lessons

767
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 1: on Martha's vineyard is ahead of It's a debate two

768
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,440
Speaker 1: of you and nobody. I worked. I worked when I

769
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 1: was fourteen years old, the dishwasher forever, non stop. You

770
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 1: know you're off counting here? What do you? What do

771
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: you do? I was a cashier at shopright in Pearl River,

772
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 1: New York, getting fired because I couldn't like that you

773
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 1: make a long haul driving job somehow could she? Well?

774
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 1: What we're making up at five in the morning driving

775
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: for fifth What were delivering strawberry than at a grocery store.

776
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 1: I was the guy that had to take the carts

777
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:20,240
Speaker 1: from the the gigantic parking lot and put them stacks

778
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 1: outside and see that stuff. Worry And not to get

779
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 1: off topic too far, but you talk with your wife

780
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:29,319
Speaker 1: about this very topic last night, Well, she had an

781
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:33,359
Speaker 1: interesting skip Bayliss like contrarian take where she actually ranked

782
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: Dan number one and I was number two. But amost

783
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 1: she understand the concept coming up the whole group? Well

784
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 1: that is utter nonsense. Um, well, I think I think

785
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 1: Mark was lasting wasn't the only one to have I

786
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 1: don't have a problem with that. It's just that she's

787
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:56,240
Speaker 1: basically just saying that you're not the most common man person.

788
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: She's taking anyone she can to put above. You know,

789
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:01,800
Speaker 1: she said and was number one. That's what I'm saying.

790
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 1: I don't think she understands the controt. Have a chip

791
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 1: is missing here? Not being a you know, a family

792
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 1: man that was part of it. That that was that

793
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 1: was a big She's a smart woman, that's why he

794
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 1: married her. That is that was disastrous. I got a

795
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:20,879
Speaker 1: text at like a disastrous text, A smart, charismatic, beautiful woman.

796
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: Where were we? Oh? Yeah, West, You'll like this. Darren

797
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,840
Speaker 1: McFadden has been enjoying a career resurgence in Dallas. His

798
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: last three games resembled DeMarco Murray's production last year. Murray

799
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 1: average twenty four and a half carries a hundred and

800
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 1: fifteen yards per game rushing and four four point seven

801
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 1: yards per carry. McFadden is averaging twenty five carries, a

802
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:45,319
Speaker 1: hundred and eleven yards rushing and four point yards four

803
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 1: point four yards per carry over his last three games.

804
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,800
Speaker 1: He's the Marco Murray net. What a valuable nugget you

805
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 1: use that I'm hearing you correctly. You're basically saying that

806
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 1: Darren McFadden is offensive player of the year material around.

807
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 1: Here's what this Mark Murray one offensive one three game

808
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:06,799
Speaker 1: stretch where they didn't win again, He's got to put

809
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 1: it together. That's the level he's playing. This is the

810
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 1: only thing that well. He's carrying this Cowboys team to

811
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:14,359
Speaker 1: six straight losses. This, This is all that angers me. West,

812
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:15,840
Speaker 1: and you'll agree with me on this because I know

813
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 1: where you stand on the Cowboys is that if McFadden

814
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 1: finishes out the year like this, that means the Cowboys

815
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 1: are right, with all that patting themselves on the back

816
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,320
Speaker 1: in the off season, that they could let Murray go

817
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:27,399
Speaker 1: and find someone else to plug in. I don't want

818
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: that to happen. It also means I was right because

819
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 1: I said offseason that mc McFadden could just be plugged in.

820
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:34,839
Speaker 1: Never there was a time for West's drop. It's right there.

821
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:39,800
Speaker 1: It's about me, thank you. Yeah, they're running games. Certainly

822
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:44,319
Speaker 1: hasn't been the problem this year, even with Randall. Mark,

823
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 1: what why are you pointing to me? Mark's in a

824
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:50,880
Speaker 1: cough medicine coma right now, listen, I really I'm enjoying

825
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 1: listening to this debate that has waged on for seven

826
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 1: months about two running backs that are completely average except

827
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 1: for the one I get. I get that he's playing well,

828
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 1: but both the old Juser and the renegade connor Or

829
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 1: have picked the Cowboys to win Cowboy with the Devil again.

830
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 1: Huh yeah, Well, this is the last Tony Romo game. This,

831
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 1: this sneakily might be like the biggest game. If they

832
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 1: can win one game without Tony Romo, and you think

833
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 1: they would have a chance against the Bucks, then it

834
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 1: sets up for a possible run at least with I

835
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 1: get to two and seven. I I agreed to fork

836
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:30,320
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. It was a political move, uh, mostly because

837
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,320
Speaker 1: I think they're absolutely in the mix if they just

838
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 1: can take out one team before Roman gets back. But

839
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 1: times aren't out now. Moving on, the Carolina Panthers are undefeated.

840
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:40,879
Speaker 1: As you may have heard, and you may have heard

841
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:45,439
Speaker 1: someone say, Kim Newton m VP candidate. Yeah, of course

842
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: he is. But bring it up all the time. What

843
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 1: are people trying to get at Greg? We get it,

844
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,240
Speaker 1: he's one of the candidates to be an MVP. There's

845
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 1: only one candidate. It's not a yeah, it's not where

846
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 1: you vote for more than one player. So that's the thing.

847
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 1: If there was a vote right now, Tom Brady might

848
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:05,880
Speaker 1: be unanimous, and old Mike Dobsy who had his banners

849
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:09,240
Speaker 1: stolen by Cam Newton, he exited the news cycle, nowhere

850
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 1: to be seen. It's not right speaking at Karma. They

851
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:15,880
Speaker 1: head to Nashville to face the Tennessee Titans a matchup

852
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 1: between Cam Newton and Marcus Mariotta, who I believe I

853
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 1: saw an ALIAS research note. Uh, no Alantis for this.

854
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 1: This is Alias, not the NFL media group. Uh. That

855
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,240
Speaker 1: Mariotta became the first rookie ever to have two games

856
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:34,319
Speaker 1: of four touchdowns and no interceptions. That's also in our

857
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:37,440
Speaker 1: NFL notes, is it? Yes? Okay, well it's hold off

858
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 1: on the song anyway. Um So, Mariotta has been a

859
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 1: gem obviously. Now he's got to put it together and

860
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 1: be a little more consistent. He hasn't put two good,

861
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 1: two really great games together in a row. I mean,

862
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:50,919
Speaker 1: it makes me excited to watch this team again seeing

863
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,759
Speaker 1: what he did last week. This could be the best

864
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 1: one o'clock game out there. Sneakily, I think it could.

865
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:58,359
Speaker 1: I think that there could be a lot of big

866
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:02,239
Speaker 1: upsets this week in this this certainly wow. So if

867
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:04,360
Speaker 1: I hear you correctly, you are predicting the Titans to

868
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 1: beat the Panthers. I think the Titans and the Chiefs,

869
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 1: they're both the two big upsets I took this week

870
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:10,920
Speaker 1: that I like, We'll get to that later. I think

871
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 1: it's just with with tennessee how different they are with

872
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:16,279
Speaker 1: Mariota on the field. That how what better way to

873
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 1: advertise his value to this franchise. That Mike mullarkey looked

874
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 1: like a good coach last week down the stretch once

875
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:24,719
Speaker 1: by the time Dan Campbell looked good too. He's got

876
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:26,400
Speaker 1: to give these things a couple of weeks. Well, I

877
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 1: would take Mariota over Ryan Tannehill in a New York minute.

878
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:33,359
Speaker 1: Really I would too. Well, you know what, we could

879
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:35,280
Speaker 1: be wrong about these things because we'd say this about

880
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 1: a lot of quarterbacks two or three years in. Right,

881
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 1: we were about Derek Carr, don't pull back the curtain.

882
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 1: But but with Mariota, to me, I just from watching him,

883
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 1: he's so fun to watch that you're right about the

884
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 1: potential upset because we just don't know what the ceiling

885
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 1: is with him on the field yet he's not played enough.

886
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 1: Of course that was against New Orleans. Yeah, and this

887
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 1: is one of the best defenses in the league, certainly

888
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 1: one of the best secondary. So if he can he

889
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 1: can look good in this game, that that really shows

890
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 1: you something. Yeah, I think it's I can't pick the

891
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:06,800
Speaker 1: Titans to win this game because just because the Panthers

892
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 1: are so much of a stronger team. Like you said,

893
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 1: it's night and day one from the Saints to the Panthers.

894
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:13,880
Speaker 1: The Saints right now are one of the worst defenses

895
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 1: in NFL history. I mean because what one of these

896
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 1: narratives was, Oh, Malarkey came in and he just fixed

897
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:21,279
Speaker 1: that offensive line a lot of patches and look at

898
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 1: no sacks. Well, you played a team that doesn't really

899
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 1: get at the quarterback. You're gonna if you can get

900
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 1: out of the Carolina game with one or two sacks,

901
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,760
Speaker 1: that's realistic. Then we do know the line is playing differently.

902
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:34,800
Speaker 1: He did do some legitimate things in terms of his lineup,

903
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 1: like playing Dorial Green Beckham that look perfect targets for

904
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 1: the first time the field, and he's going to be

905
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:45,239
Speaker 1: a factor. He'll only run about his routes correctly. But

906
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 1: that's but at least you m a cod back in

907
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:50,360
Speaker 1: the lineup. Yes, I was about to say this is

908
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:52,839
Speaker 1: stil fat David Cobb or is he dat back to normal?

909
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 1: We took the Panthers across the board in this game. Yes,

910
00:45:57,080 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 1: and it was a good news bad news situation for

911
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 1: the Round. The NFL pod cast this week is David

912
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:06,879
Speaker 1: Cobb was activated off r boomerang. But to make room

913
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 1: for David Cobb, we had to say goodbye. In Nashville.

914
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:20,720
Speaker 1: Clipboard Jesus. Charlie Whitehurst, who's run as the charismatic backup

915
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:23,759
Speaker 1: quarterback and for the Titans, has come to an end

916
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:26,920
Speaker 1: after several years. The man that was named to one

917
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 1: of the hottest bachelors in Nashville a few years ago

918
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 1: in a magazine, Uh, no longer can that be accurate

919
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 1: because Nashville Lifestyles Lifestyles magazine, and now he'll have to

920
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:45,399
Speaker 1: Now Ladies in Indianapolis claimed on Waivers on Thursday, he'll

921
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:49,919
Speaker 1: be directly backing up Hasselbeck forty years old. Clipboard, Charlie

922
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 1: could see some bus. He'll always those sweet licks that

923
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 1: he laid down on the Glysyene track. That's always knna

924
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,719
Speaker 1: he should be alive. Yeah, we the reason if if

925
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:02,440
Speaker 1: you're a new listener, because that wouldn't make any sense.

926
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 1: I just realized, Um, Charlie Whitehurst. I always thought he

927
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 1: was a guy that had so much time and was

928
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,319
Speaker 1: a laid back dude that he probably is learning how

929
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:12,799
Speaker 1: to play acoustic guitar. In the first song you probably

930
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 1: learned was Glysserene because it's an easy song to learn

931
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 1: by Bush, and then we read like a few weeks

932
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 1: later that he was in fact learning how to play

933
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:21,759
Speaker 1: the acoustic guitar. I don't know about the Bush thing,

934
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:23,759
Speaker 1: but she try to get him on the podcast takes

935
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:26,759
Speaker 1: a lot of flak. He has figured out he may

936
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 1: be one of the smartest people in the NFL. You

937
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 1: want to be a good quarterback, but not too good.

938
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 1: Drafted in two thousand six, doesn't register a stat until

939
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:38,800
Speaker 1: two thousand and ten, and continues he was not on

940
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 1: the breadline for more than twenty four hours. And interesting, right,

941
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 1: he will work for that. He cannot be killed. He'll

942
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 1: work for the next five years. He's made millions of

943
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 1: dollars and pretty much critique free. We know he stinks,

944
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:51,719
Speaker 1: but it doesn't matter. He keeps getting work. But you

945
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 1: know who also will be playing for the next five

946
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 1: or six, like Aaron Rodgers and Philip Rivers with all this, Yeah,

947
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:02,799
Speaker 1: but so of that interesting window into the Sessler mind

948
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 1: that you would rather be Charlie Whitehurst than Philip Rivers. Well,

949
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 1: it's interesting into the mind of Greg Rosenthal putting words

950
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:11,680
Speaker 1: in someone's mouth that would never want to be Charlie Whitehurst.

951
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 1: I'm just saying. I'm saying there's someone that probably recognizes

952
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:17,839
Speaker 1: that he's not a premier quarterback. He has carved out

953
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:20,239
Speaker 1: a perfect niche and a lot of backup quarterbacks do

954
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:22,440
Speaker 1: well for themselves. Isn't this a double standard you have

955
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:28,960
Speaker 1: with Charlie Whitehurst and Matt Flynn. That's Matt Flynn bothered

956
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:32,240
Speaker 1: me for one specific reason. And it was even earlier

957
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 1: this summer when people were saying, and I'm not going

958
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 1: to say who was someone in NFL media crowing about

959
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:40,239
Speaker 1: how they take Matt Flynn over Mark Sanchez or anyone else.

960
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 1: And it's like Matt Flynn's arm has not been healthy

961
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:46,080
Speaker 1: for half a decade and he keeps getting paid. Charlie Whitehurst,

962
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:48,280
Speaker 1: he just doesn't have a good arm. It's not because

963
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:51,360
Speaker 1: if he's not healthy, he's he knows what his limit is.

964
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 1: It is. It is a tad shaky, But both of

965
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:58,279
Speaker 1: these guys get paid way more than their worth, and

966
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 1: that's to them, to their credit. Me see your point,

967
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 1: Nobody is propping up Charlie Whitehurst as some kind of

968
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 1: new generation great backup quarterback like they are with Matt Flynn.

969
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 1: One random guy downstairs now there are a lot of

970
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 1: people that every time Matt Flynn's name come up, people

971
00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 1: act like he's still a great quarterback. I know exactly

972
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:16,719
Speaker 1: who you're talking about. I don't want to say his name,

973
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 1: but acting like he has two thousand and eleven you're

974
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 1: talking about. Just like early in the season, this was

975
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:25,279
Speaker 1: this guy who works for NFL media was acting like

976
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:28,440
Speaker 1: he's a great back. To full whoever you are, mhm,

977
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 1: super Bowl champion, I believe. Al Right, well, that's a

978
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 1: lot of people that that doesn't narrow it down any

979
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 1: other hints. Who's the big Matt Flynn supporter in this Oh?

980
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:47,960
Speaker 1: I know who it is? Probably next topic, alright, moving

981
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:51,359
Speaker 1: on the New Orleans Saints. Uh, you know, coming off

982
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:55,759
Speaker 1: a bad loss, now travel to Washington to face the Redskin.

983
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 1: So it's a four and five Saints team. They need

984
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:01,480
Speaker 1: this win, they need to stay in that the mix,

985
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:04,359
Speaker 1: the playoff mix. The Redskins. I don't know. I think

986
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:07,600
Speaker 1: they stink. Really, they're just playing for you know, that

987
00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 1: old Washington pride if you will not really I mean

988
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 1: the only one game back, yeah, column, But if you

989
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:17,319
Speaker 1: want to look at it that way, yeah, sure, go ahead, great,

990
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:19,880
Speaker 1: get excited about the Redskins. No, I'm not excited at all.

991
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:24,239
Speaker 1: They're getting what they deserved, and uh, this is this

992
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:26,000
Speaker 1: is not a big game, but it's a big game

993
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:28,480
Speaker 1: to these two teams because the winner of it can

994
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:31,719
Speaker 1: still convince themselves and still feel like they're really in

995
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:35,000
Speaker 1: the mix, whereas the loser of this game is really

996
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 1: far back at this point and hard to really imagine

997
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:40,359
Speaker 1: making any sort of run. Well, I think what West

998
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:42,839
Speaker 1: and I liked about the Redskins earlier in the year.

999
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 1: The first four games they ran for about a hundred

1000
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 1: and fifty five hundred and sixty yards a game and

1001
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:52,880
Speaker 1: looked much tougher than anyone expected. And also on defense,

1002
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 1: last four games, they're averaging under fifty yards rushing and

1003
00:50:57,200 --> 00:50:59,840
Speaker 1: that's putting more pressure on Kirk Cousins. And the offense

1004
00:50:59,920 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 1: is just sort of crumbling, and your so called playmakers

1005
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:04,680
Speaker 1: are not living up to the promise. You're referring to

1006
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:07,759
Speaker 1: the version of the Redskins before Matt Jones went off

1007
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 1: to live in the woods somewhere like Sure, when it

1008
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:13,640
Speaker 1: seemed like they had two serviceable backs, an exciting offense

1009
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:16,320
Speaker 1: and Kirk Cousin just needed to do just enough. And

1010
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:19,800
Speaker 1: now everything's gone south. We did a hit on NFL

1011
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:22,200
Speaker 1: Network where we debated whether Matt Jones was gonna be

1012
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:24,400
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year, and well, we were pretty optimistic

1013
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:27,359
Speaker 1: about that possibility. I burned the tape. Maybe that's why

1014
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:30,480
Speaker 1: he took us off NFL Network. He might be back

1015
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 1: in the race after this matchup. Oh, I like that

1016
00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:36,120
Speaker 1: Matt Jones come back right here. Well, anybody in the

1017
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:38,120
Speaker 1: Redskins could get healthy in this game. I mean, the

1018
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:41,720
Speaker 1: Saints are just did you guys see that Deshaun Jackson

1019
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:46,800
Speaker 1: gave j Gruden a purple nerple in Redskins practice? That

1020
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:48,759
Speaker 1: was one of my favorite moments of the season. An

1021
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:53,120
Speaker 1: old twister kim edging like Ray Nitchy coming up and

1022
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:57,359
Speaker 1: doing that. The Vince Lombardi No, somebody downstairs and might

1023
00:51:57,360 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 1: have been us said, what if of Grant did that too?

1024
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:04,800
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick? I said, Well, Bill Belichick's nipple would be

1025
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:11,720
Speaker 1: ripped off, an old nipple pinch from the gronk wouldn't

1026
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:15,080
Speaker 1: be fun. If West is right and this happens, I

1027
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:17,200
Speaker 1: don't like to go down this road, but this could

1028
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:18,799
Speaker 1: be the end of Rob Ryan. They have a bye

1029
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 1: week after this game, and this guy's feels like he's

1030
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:24,279
Speaker 1: about on the thinnest ice around, right Sean Payton this week?

1031
00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 1: Maybe the analogy if your student gets a dion A test,

1032
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:29,719
Speaker 1: at some point you gotta say, did you do a

1033
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 1: good enough job teaching the subject matter. It's a lot

1034
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:34,400
Speaker 1: like your children. If you're seeing them at the grocer,

1035
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:36,319
Speaker 1: you see the same kid at the grocery acting up

1036
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:38,880
Speaker 1: five times, at some point you gotta start looking at

1037
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:43,200
Speaker 1: the parent and my kids. I'm thinking he's talking about

1038
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:46,200
Speaker 1: Rob Ryan, of course, but he really should be thinking.

1039
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 1: I'm the teacher. You know, I'm the parent. I keep

1040
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:52,960
Speaker 1: hiring these defensive coordinators that have no idea how to

1041
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:56,040
Speaker 1: fix things. I keep, you know, blaming my defensive coordinator.

1042
00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:58,600
Speaker 1: Spagnola has the worst one in NFL history. Rob Ryan

1043
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:01,239
Speaker 1: has the worst one in NFL history. And now you

1044
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:04,440
Speaker 1: know what's the commonality. It's Sean Payton. That's fair. Let's

1045
00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:06,759
Speaker 1: throwing Greg Williams, who gets you a franchise into a

1046
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:08,920
Speaker 1: turmoil that goes you know, it takes you down for

1047
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:10,600
Speaker 1: three I got you one of those rings. They would

1048
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 1: take that trade. Sure. I was the only one in

1049
00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 1: the group to take the Saints in this game. Wow,

1050
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. Fan consensus went Saints. That's always

1051
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:21,080
Speaker 1: nice to get a hero pick on a fan consense. Yes,

1052
00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:23,839
Speaker 1: and there's also another hint to common man regular Joe

1053
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:29,799
Speaker 1: status moving efficacy right there, You and the fans are

1054
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:33,960
Speaker 1: on the same first. Moving on the to the late

1055
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:37,239
Speaker 1: games in the Minnesota Vikings or six and two, and

1056
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:40,560
Speaker 1: it could be debated if they are a a good team. Well,

1057
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:42,399
Speaker 1: they're a good team. I don't know if anybody's gonna

1058
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:44,439
Speaker 1: not debate that, but are they are really a true

1059
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:47,200
Speaker 1: six and two team that would be considered a great team?

1060
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:49,800
Speaker 1: Who knows? They have a nice test though on on

1061
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:52,360
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Oakland Raiders. This game will be played

1062
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:55,400
Speaker 1: at the Black Hole. And uh, to me, this is

1063
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:57,160
Speaker 1: one of the games of the week because it's two

1064
00:53:57,239 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 1: teams where we're still trying to figure out who they

1065
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:02,839
Speaker 1: are are. Are they teams that are ready to make

1066
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:04,520
Speaker 1: the leap or are they not ready? I got a

1067
00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:06,279
Speaker 1: feeling one of these teams is gonna make a big

1068
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:09,919
Speaker 1: statement on Sunday. What about us? Yeah? I I can't

1069
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:11,799
Speaker 1: think of a player where we were more wrong about

1070
00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:14,080
Speaker 1: than Derek Carr. And when I watched him, and and

1071
00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:17,200
Speaker 1: he's got everything. Last year he couldn't move the offense,

1072
00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:19,920
Speaker 1: and now he's got touch, he's got a cannon arm,

1073
00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:22,200
Speaker 1: he can move in the pocket, he can throw on

1074
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:24,040
Speaker 1: the run, he can throw from the pocket, he can

1075
00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 1: make every throw on the field and makes guys like

1076
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:30,560
Speaker 1: Michael Crabtree better. Crabtree's played awesome this year. You know

1077
00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:32,800
Speaker 1: what the lesson is, and it's not just us, but

1078
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:36,080
Speaker 1: everyone is to let a rookie be a rookie is

1079
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:38,319
Speaker 1: think it's a long game with these quarterbacks, and he's

1080
00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 1: showing really major growth in year two. When I wrote

1081
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:45,520
Speaker 1: a piece over the offseason redrafting the quarterbacks from this class,

1082
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:48,320
Speaker 1: I had Bridgewater number one by a long shot. That

1083
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:51,520
Speaker 1: was very conventional wisdom. Bucky Brookstead, a redraft of the

1084
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:55,399
Speaker 1: entire two thousand and fourteen draft, put Bridgewater number one.

1085
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:58,480
Speaker 1: I had Car way back. I was way wrong on

1086
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:01,399
Speaker 1: Car and had him very low at quarterback. And you're

1087
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:04,200
Speaker 1: right for all those reasons and at this point though,

1088
00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:06,160
Speaker 1: but at this point, he is so far ahead of

1089
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:08,319
Speaker 1: Bridgewater and Borders is what I was that I wanted

1090
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 1: to say. But it's also a lesson that scouts and

1091
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:14,160
Speaker 1: coaches have their jobs for a reason, because they were

1092
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:17,280
Speaker 1: almost unanimous in thinking that Car was the best rookie

1093
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:19,279
Speaker 1: of all those guys. I think it's just you're not

1094
00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:23,920
Speaker 1: wrong to have looked at Car unfavorably after last season

1095
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:27,240
Speaker 1: based on that season. But when we write these guys

1096
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:30,520
Speaker 1: off and just say it's done well, no one said that, well,

1097
00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:33,359
Speaker 1: but there is I'm not saying we did, but there's

1098
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:35,640
Speaker 1: a lot of that in general. Players that are you

1099
00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:38,000
Speaker 1: know in the first, second, third season that if they

1100
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:40,080
Speaker 1: haven't produced, and a lot of times it's on teams,

1101
00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:42,680
Speaker 1: a lot of chaos going on, that they're done there

1102
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:44,800
Speaker 1: would have no value, and then they're proven wrong. It's like,

1103
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:47,640
Speaker 1: maybe these players deserve a little bit longer of a

1104
00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:49,880
Speaker 1: leash than this. I think Bill Musker is doing a

1105
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:52,239
Speaker 1: great job. I mean he's seen which is surprising. He's

1106
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:56,120
Speaker 1: having open receivers. I mean he's finding open receivers. He's

1107
00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:58,240
Speaker 1: very common the pocket and he goes through the secondary

1108
00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:01,600
Speaker 1: receivers and the offense of line, which played really well

1109
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 1: for him last year. I thought that was one of

1110
00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:05,560
Speaker 1: the reasons why I was down on Cars because people

1111
00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 1: people were wrong about his protection. He got protected very

1112
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:10,520
Speaker 1: well last year he's he doesn't get sacked. He's in

1113
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:12,480
Speaker 1: the top five in the NFL since he entered the

1114
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:15,320
Speaker 1: league in the fewest amount of sacks per snap and

1115
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:17,960
Speaker 1: the fewest amount of interception. So that's what a veteran does.

1116
00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:21,920
Speaker 1: This game is interesting because obviously Oakland's offense has is

1117
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:23,960
Speaker 1: fun to watch and it's not been the case in

1118
00:56:24,040 --> 00:56:27,560
Speaker 1: a decade, but Minnesota's defense has flown under the radar

1119
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:30,480
Speaker 1: as well. And you know, it's a team that we

1120
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:32,680
Speaker 1: we look at what they've done six and two and

1121
00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:34,919
Speaker 1: it's quick to write them off. But if they're gonna

1122
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:36,920
Speaker 1: hang around, I think it's gonna be because of their defense.

1123
00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:38,960
Speaker 1: There's no question they have a much better defense than

1124
00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:41,520
Speaker 1: the Raiders, who just gave up their most points enfranchise

1125
00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:44,839
Speaker 1: history at Pittsburgh. And then with the Vikings, you got

1126
00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 1: Harrison Smith, Lynn, Joe lyn Vaal Joseph who's Joe one

1127
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:51,799
Speaker 1: of the best nose tackles in the NFL, and Anthony Barr.

1128
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:54,240
Speaker 1: So you've got some really good young talent in Minnesota.

1129
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 1: Involt Joseph's coming off one of the best games any

1130
00:56:56,719 --> 00:57:00,080
Speaker 1: players had at any position all season. He looked like

1131
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:06,000
Speaker 1: a man. Dren unbelievable performance. We all took the Raiders

1132
00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:09,520
Speaker 1: except for Connor or the Renegade went with the Vikings. Um.

1133
00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:12,520
Speaker 1: So we'll see how that plays. And it does look

1134
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:15,359
Speaker 1: like Teddy Bridgewater, who has not been i would say

1135
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:17,560
Speaker 1: playing his best this year, has not kept up the

1136
00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:19,560
Speaker 1: momentum from the end last seas. It does look like

1137
00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:23,440
Speaker 1: he's gonna play despite having been concussed last week. Do

1138
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:28,040
Speaker 1: you see the Mike Zimmer NFL films. Yes, Uh, he

1139
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:32,560
Speaker 1: had one of my favorite quotes. I won't um, we'll

1140
00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:34,000
Speaker 1: be able to say it because I don't want to

1141
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:37,480
Speaker 1: make Sydney do any more extra work today. But his

1142
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 1: quote was because I'm going to use it in the

1143
00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:41,800
Speaker 1: end around, which you could read on Friday morning everybody

1144
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:48,640
Speaker 1: NFL dot com slash there you go. Uh. His quote

1145
00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:51,919
Speaker 1: was f you f me, he screamed after he first

1146
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:55,560
Speaker 1: saw the hit and ran on the field. I didn't

1147
00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:57,520
Speaker 1: even know what it meant, but he was like, he's

1148
00:57:57,560 --> 00:58:00,600
Speaker 1: fired up. That's he's the man. We love that guy. Uh.

1149
00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:03,640
Speaker 1: Moving on, the Kansas City Chiefs are three and five.

1150
00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:05,520
Speaker 1: You know, we're talking them out. We're saying they're frisky,

1151
00:58:05,560 --> 00:58:07,880
Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna really give some team some trouble

1152
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:11,760
Speaker 1: down the stretch. Well, how about banged up Denver Broncos team. Uh,

1153
00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:13,880
Speaker 1: coming off their first loss of the season, did not

1154
00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:17,280
Speaker 1: play well and the loss to the Colts. Uh. And

1155
00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:20,120
Speaker 1: they will be without a keep to leave obviously, uh

1156
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:23,480
Speaker 1: their corner who was suspended because of the eye gouge.

1157
00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:26,439
Speaker 1: They will be without DeMarcus Ware who has the lower

1158
00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:29,000
Speaker 1: back injury that's gonna cost him some time. Uh. So

1159
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:31,800
Speaker 1: this is a team, especially on the DEFENSEI defensive side

1160
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 1: of the ball that is not a top strength. Uh.

1161
00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:37,320
Speaker 1: Do you smell a upset, Greg Rosenhal, I do. I

1162
00:58:37,360 --> 00:58:38,960
Speaker 1: think the Chiefs are gonna find a way to win

1163
00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 1: this game. They were playing, they're playing really well before

1164
00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:45,560
Speaker 1: the bye there somehow their two best performances of the

1165
00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:48,920
Speaker 1: season on offense came without Jamal Charles in the lineup.

1166
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:51,080
Speaker 1: And I think the defense we've been talking up really

1167
00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:53,800
Speaker 1: all year, really the last month of the year. I

1168
00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:56,200
Speaker 1: would they guess throw away September, But the last month

1169
00:58:56,280 --> 00:58:58,760
Speaker 1: of the year, their defense has been a top five

1170
00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:01,360
Speaker 1: type of defense. Yeah, they were picked on, they had

1171
00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:03,760
Speaker 1: their nickelbacks picked on early. But now that Sean Smith's

1172
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:05,680
Speaker 1: been back. There hasn't been a real weakness back there,

1173
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:08,120
Speaker 1: and they get past rush and they and they've been

1174
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:11,320
Speaker 1: stopping rushers to which they didn't earlier year. They should

1175
00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 1: have beaten Denver the first time around in Kansas City.

1176
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:15,680
Speaker 1: They really outplayed them, but they turned the ball over

1177
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:18,160
Speaker 1: with four or five times in that game. Uh So,

1178
00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:20,680
Speaker 1: I think this is a very even matchup between similar

1179
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:24,440
Speaker 1: teams and weak armed quarterbacks who moved the ball slowly

1180
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:27,280
Speaker 1: down the field, playing who are both playing a little

1181
00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:30,640
Speaker 1: better lately, and and really good defenses. I know that people,

1182
00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:35,400
Speaker 1: Uh there was a quick backlash because we I mentioned

1183
00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:37,760
Speaker 1: and I thought this Denver defense could wind up being

1184
00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:40,320
Speaker 1: the next version of the eighty five Bears and the

1185
00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:43,640
Speaker 1: two thousand Ravens, and maybe that was premature, But I

1186
00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:45,720
Speaker 1: think that last week is going to be viewed more

1187
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:48,840
Speaker 1: as an aberration than a trend for their for their defense,

1188
00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:51,480
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna bounce back. The eight five Bears

1189
00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:53,920
Speaker 1: had a stretch where they gave up four hundred and

1190
00:59:54,040 --> 00:59:56,560
Speaker 1: forty five yards, three hundred and seventy six and three

1191
00:59:56,640 --> 00:59:59,320
Speaker 1: hundred seventy three, and they had other games where they

1192
00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:04,120
Speaker 1: didn't look so hot that season. I had a lot

1193
01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:06,800
Speaker 1: to do with their playoff push, which was utterly dominant

1194
01:00:07,080 --> 01:00:10,720
Speaker 1: and completely same with the Ravens. So I have no

1195
01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:14,760
Speaker 1: problem with defense getting solved. A couple of weeks during

1196
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:18,000
Speaker 1: the campaign, Denver's defenses heads and tails above other teams,

1197
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:22,880
Speaker 1: and nothing about the Chiefs offense tells me that they're

1198
01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:24,440
Speaker 1: going to be the team that's gonna come do what

1199
01:00:24,520 --> 01:00:29,960
Speaker 1: the Cults did last week. Travis Kelsey. Maybe I like Kelsey,

1200
01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:31,800
Speaker 1: we all do, but you need but they've had them

1201
01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:36,240
Speaker 1: all season. Kelsey has been a little bit disappointing this year, especially.

1202
01:00:36,720 --> 01:00:38,960
Speaker 1: He started off really well and he's having a nice

1203
01:00:39,040 --> 01:00:41,120
Speaker 1: enough season, but this is by no means been the

1204
01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:44,680
Speaker 1: next taking the Leap season where he's heads the shoulders

1205
01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:48,680
Speaker 1: over everyone that's not named Gronk for over a thousand

1206
01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:51,360
Speaker 1: yards for a tight end. That's a great season. Yeah,

1207
01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:53,560
Speaker 1: but has he blown you away on a week to

1208
01:00:53,560 --> 01:00:56,440
Speaker 1: week basis. He's got Alex Smith throwing to him, right,

1209
01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:58,480
Speaker 1: I think he's part of it is the product of

1210
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:01,120
Speaker 1: that offense, which is going to If you put Kelsey

1211
01:01:01,160 --> 01:01:04,320
Speaker 1: on the Patriots, we'd all know who he is, well,

1212
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:07,920
Speaker 1: we all do, but other people with Alright, moving on, Uh,

1213
01:01:08,080 --> 01:01:14,760
Speaker 1: this is a kickoff the eight no New England Patriots. Oh, Greg,

1214
01:01:14,920 --> 01:01:19,080
Speaker 1: another another great feast of the eyeballs on the old

1215
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:23,280
Speaker 1: throne of ease. They now travel They got some revenge

1216
01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:25,880
Speaker 1: on the mind because they're traveling to the Meadowlands to

1217
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:28,600
Speaker 1: face the New York Giants. Who here's a little I

1218
01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:31,560
Speaker 1: don't need the research guy for this, West West and

1219
01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:34,720
Speaker 1: Greg Mark, They last two Super Bowl losses for the

1220
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:40,160
Speaker 1: Patriots have been to Eliman, Tom Coughlin and the New

1221
01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:44,200
Speaker 1: York Giants. That is that's just history, baby. I think

1222
01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:46,360
Speaker 1: those are the only two people from that two thousand

1223
01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:48,880
Speaker 1: seven teams still on the Giants. There's been a lot

1224
01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:52,800
Speaker 1: of turnover. Um, so yes, historically these two teams will

1225
01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:55,360
Speaker 1: always be linked. But the Patriots are a much better

1226
01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:57,880
Speaker 1: team than the Giants. So it's not gonna have been

1227
01:01:57,880 --> 01:02:01,439
Speaker 1: a close game, is it, Greg? Look, the Giants will

1228
01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:04,000
Speaker 1: always have me a little spooked as a Patriots games.

1229
01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:06,360
Speaker 1: They also beat him during the regular season in two thousands.

1230
01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:09,080
Speaker 1: Great game that I would think. I think you're thinking

1231
01:02:09,120 --> 01:02:11,320
Speaker 1: a two thousand seven games. I'm thinking the two thousand

1232
01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:14,320
Speaker 1: and eleven game. Was it about a mid season game?

1233
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:16,920
Speaker 1: Twenty four twenty? Yeah, it was a good game. They

1234
01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:18,800
Speaker 1: were both right. I love that game so much. Why

1235
01:02:18,800 --> 01:02:21,919
Speaker 1: don't you marry it? Uh? This is a game where

1236
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:25,000
Speaker 1: Jason Pierre Poss should loom large if he's a pass

1237
01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:27,360
Speaker 1: or if he's back to being himself even a little bit.

1238
01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:30,320
Speaker 1: They're down to their number four and their number five

1239
01:02:30,480 --> 01:02:32,840
Speaker 1: tackles right now, so you're saying the throne of ease.

1240
01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:35,520
Speaker 1: They're missing their top three tackles. They're missing Louis, they

1241
01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:38,720
Speaker 1: might be missing Jamie Collins, and I think they're vulnerable

1242
01:02:38,760 --> 01:02:40,760
Speaker 1: to a pass rush at this point if if someone

1243
01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:43,920
Speaker 1: can get one going. Yeah, the Patriots are missing all

1244
01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:46,040
Speaker 1: of that stuff and the Giants are missing pass rushers.

1245
01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:49,200
Speaker 1: I think if you talk to the Giants, they'll say

1246
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:51,440
Speaker 1: they were happy with what they saw from JPP, and

1247
01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:53,840
Speaker 1: the fact that he played so much tells you a lot.

1248
01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:56,480
Speaker 1: I guess it's gonna be this would be like you're saying,

1249
01:02:56,520 --> 01:02:58,440
Speaker 1: it's a good test if he if he's is a

1250
01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:01,480
Speaker 1: mismatch physically against some these Patriots lines, but let's see

1251
01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:03,480
Speaker 1: if he can still play with basically one hand. I

1252
01:03:03,520 --> 01:03:05,920
Speaker 1: think he looked as good at the end of the

1253
01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:08,840
Speaker 1: game as he did at the beginning, although nothing was

1254
01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:10,920
Speaker 1: super special about him, but who was asking that in

1255
01:03:10,960 --> 01:03:13,400
Speaker 1: his first game back? For me, that what I want

1256
01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:16,880
Speaker 1: to watch is because after the Dean Lewis, the role

1257
01:03:16,960 --> 01:03:22,120
Speaker 1: that he played, they've got James White and you know McDaniels,

1258
01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:25,600
Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels said this week he's prepared. We've prepared him

1259
01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:27,720
Speaker 1: for this like he's still gonna be he We're gonna

1260
01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:29,880
Speaker 1: still use that role as a big part of our offense.

1261
01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:34,000
Speaker 1: I need to see it first, because nothing that I've

1262
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:36,800
Speaker 1: ever seen from James White suggests that he's even one

1263
01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:39,520
Speaker 1: eight of Dean Lewis. Well, they already had a game

1264
01:03:39,600 --> 01:03:41,920
Speaker 1: like this earlier this season. Dean Lewis missed the game

1265
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:44,240
Speaker 1: against the Jets. I believe it was that was and

1266
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:47,240
Speaker 1: James White had that role and he didn't impress. He

1267
01:03:47,280 --> 01:03:48,960
Speaker 1: didn't do a lot book it. Though James White will

1268
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:53,600
Speaker 1: have a touchdown of this game, A touchdown him, I

1269
01:03:53,640 --> 01:03:56,440
Speaker 1: don't work. I don't think the defense that gave up

1270
01:03:56,680 --> 01:03:58,640
Speaker 1: seven touchdown to Drew Brees is gonna be the one

1271
01:03:58,680 --> 01:04:01,000
Speaker 1: to hold the Patriots under thirty. I'm gonna throw this

1272
01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:02,800
Speaker 1: out there. I got that I had a settler on this.

1273
01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:04,640
Speaker 1: A couple of weeks ago. I'm gonna throw it out

1274
01:04:04,640 --> 01:04:16,120
Speaker 1: there again, west Odell Beckham, those spoilers. O. D. B

1275
01:04:16,280 --> 01:04:18,360
Speaker 1: is gonna go nuts again and make this a game.

1276
01:04:18,600 --> 01:04:21,040
Speaker 1: I agree, Patriots are way better than the Giants. But

1277
01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:23,840
Speaker 1: what are the great things about Beckham? You know, it's

1278
01:04:23,840 --> 01:04:25,440
Speaker 1: a little too much with the off the field stuff,

1279
01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:28,240
Speaker 1: and you know the Wall Street Journal profile this week

1280
01:04:28,320 --> 01:04:30,800
Speaker 1: that he's doing everything lefty off the off the field

1281
01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:33,960
Speaker 1: to become more ambidextrous. Cute buddy, but you know, just

1282
01:04:34,760 --> 01:04:37,040
Speaker 1: enough is enough. But I will say this one thing

1283
01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:38,840
Speaker 1: I do love about him as a players. He does

1284
01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:42,520
Speaker 1: seem to rise uh and get better when the spotlight

1285
01:04:42,640 --> 01:04:44,360
Speaker 1: is brighter. And this will be a game against the

1286
01:04:44,440 --> 01:04:47,200
Speaker 1: mighty Patriots where I expect him to thrive. Let's say

1287
01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:53,440
Speaker 1: one seventy one seven catches and two touchdowns. I'll go

1288
01:04:53,680 --> 01:04:57,120
Speaker 1: like Tang and catches for a hundred and seventy two touchdowns.

1289
01:04:57,640 --> 01:04:59,520
Speaker 1: He made one note though, He said that if all

1290
01:04:59,560 --> 01:05:01,800
Speaker 1: the team is that they play, that when you go

1291
01:05:01,960 --> 01:05:04,760
Speaker 1: watch all the film on New England's defense, that with

1292
01:05:04,880 --> 01:05:06,720
Speaker 1: other teams, that prepares you for what you're going to

1293
01:05:06,800 --> 01:05:10,000
Speaker 1: see on the field, and that with New England, no

1294
01:05:10,240 --> 01:05:12,680
Speaker 1: idea that they're going to find a way to play

1295
01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:15,040
Speaker 1: him in a way that he's got no evidence of

1296
01:05:15,120 --> 01:05:17,000
Speaker 1: going into the game. That would be the counterpoint to

1297
01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:20,480
Speaker 1: Dan and me that Bill Belichick specializes in taking away

1298
01:05:20,520 --> 01:05:23,400
Speaker 1: the one thing in offense does. Well, perhaps you're gonna

1299
01:05:23,440 --> 01:05:25,080
Speaker 1: do to stop him. I was gonna Malcolm Butler and

1300
01:05:25,240 --> 01:05:28,680
Speaker 1: Devon McCarty. Maybe a game. Who else is gonna beat us?

1301
01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:31,080
Speaker 1: With the other guys, where's cruise? I don't think will

1302
01:05:31,160 --> 01:05:33,240
Speaker 1: Tie is gonna beat you. Well, one way to stop

1303
01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:34,920
Speaker 1: them is to get up thirty to nothing, and it

1304
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:37,840
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what Odell Beckham doesn't garbage time, I think

1305
01:05:37,880 --> 01:05:39,760
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a close game. I was thinking

1306
01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:42,200
Speaker 1: about that's when s Beckham stats are coming in. Garbage

1307
01:05:42,240 --> 01:05:45,000
Speaker 1: does no win game really for the Patriots, because you

1308
01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:47,439
Speaker 1: know you would, really, except for the victory, they're gonna

1309
01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:49,720
Speaker 1: have to lose to the Giants. Well, but it doesn't.

1310
01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:54,280
Speaker 1: It's gonna feel empty. It's not gonna change anything. Two eleven, Well,

1311
01:05:54,280 --> 01:05:56,720
Speaker 1: I love the concept of nine and oh feeling empty

1312
01:05:57,160 --> 01:05:59,800
Speaker 1: when we get there, Dan and I as Jetson Brown's

1313
01:05:59,800 --> 01:06:01,840
Speaker 1: fan to like you know how it feels, Yeah, exactly,

1314
01:06:02,480 --> 01:06:05,880
Speaker 1: We all picked the Giants. Now next, just kidding, making

1315
01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:07,360
Speaker 1: sure you guys are on your toes. We all picked

1316
01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:11,960
Speaker 1: the Patriots, moving on the Arizona Cardinals and the Seahattle Seahawks.

1317
01:06:12,040 --> 01:06:14,479
Speaker 1: One of the best Sunday Night games of the year.

1318
01:06:15,280 --> 01:06:18,760
Speaker 1: Al Michael's and Chris Collinsworth with the call on NBC.

1319
01:06:19,400 --> 01:06:23,520
Speaker 1: You got miss Blondie what's her Name? Singing the intro song,

1320
01:06:24,320 --> 01:06:28,720
Speaker 1: Oh what's her faith? Hill? No, No, no, No, Carry Underwood?

1321
01:06:28,760 --> 01:06:31,200
Speaker 1: Thank you the same, Miss Blondie. You were the one

1322
01:06:31,360 --> 01:06:35,000
Speaker 1: leading the carry Underwood bandwagon a couple of years. That

1323
01:06:35,120 --> 01:06:37,000
Speaker 1: is surprising. You were one of the few people that

1324
01:06:37,120 --> 01:06:42,160
Speaker 1: enjoyed that. You've been enjoyed her listless performances, um and

1325
01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:45,680
Speaker 1: awkward dancing. They need to get rid of the waiting

1326
01:06:45,680 --> 01:06:47,840
Speaker 1: all day for Sunday night song. They got a scrap

1327
01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:50,000
Speaker 1: agree more. There's a reason why the Monday you know,

1328
01:06:50,560 --> 01:06:53,600
Speaker 1: just to get a sidetrack a little bit here. There's

1329
01:06:53,640 --> 01:06:56,280
Speaker 1: a reason why the Monday Night Football with Hank Williams Jr.

1330
01:06:56,360 --> 01:06:58,840
Speaker 1: It did well because people liked the song on some level,

1331
01:06:59,040 --> 01:07:01,680
Speaker 1: at least a segment of the population, and it had

1332
01:07:01,760 --> 01:07:04,560
Speaker 1: some legs. Culturally, no one likes the waiting all day

1333
01:07:04,600 --> 01:07:07,320
Speaker 1: for Sunday Nightland song. So just scrap it and get

1334
01:07:07,320 --> 01:07:11,280
Speaker 1: another song if you maybe Carrie Underwood will benefit from it.

1335
01:07:11,320 --> 01:07:14,960
Speaker 1: It's the same reason why Prianka's song Come to My

1336
01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:17,560
Speaker 1: City was such a big hit and that people loved

1337
01:07:17,600 --> 01:07:19,880
Speaker 1: it on NFL network because just that're literally the only

1338
01:07:19,960 --> 01:07:23,760
Speaker 1: person that even remembered that in my city. It was

1339
01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:26,680
Speaker 1: terrific liked it. We were on board with Prianka before

1340
01:07:26,680 --> 01:07:28,360
Speaker 1: anyone else. Now she has like a hit show on

1341
01:07:28,440 --> 01:07:31,520
Speaker 1: ABC UM and she's also the biggest Bollywood star on

1342
01:07:31,560 --> 01:07:33,400
Speaker 1: the planet, I believe, But we were ahead of it.

1343
01:07:34,320 --> 01:07:37,640
Speaker 1: Nothing for us. Our old producer Ky Ridge spent like

1344
01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:40,520
Speaker 1: multiple man hours trying to set up a interview with

1345
01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:43,440
Speaker 1: her with us, but it didn't happen anyway. So here

1346
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:46,840
Speaker 1: is the game of NFC West really on the line,

1347
01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:49,800
Speaker 1: because if the if the Seahawks don't hold court at

1348
01:07:49,840 --> 01:07:53,160
Speaker 1: home here and uh and the Cardinals moved to seven

1349
01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:56,840
Speaker 1: and too, goodbye division unless there's some type of Carson

1350
01:07:56,880 --> 01:08:00,480
Speaker 1: Palmer calamity around the corner. Uh. And also, if the

1351
01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:03,600
Speaker 1: Cardinals win this game in Seattle, that is Mark Sessler

1352
01:08:03,680 --> 01:08:06,760
Speaker 1: a statement by the Cardinals, who we already know are

1353
01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:09,120
Speaker 1: a very very good team. They knock off a desperate

1354
01:08:09,160 --> 01:08:15,760
Speaker 1: Seattle team and they're great. I think it's very possible,

1355
01:08:15,880 --> 01:08:18,200
Speaker 1: and I'd give a lot of credit to Steve Kim,

1356
01:08:18,280 --> 01:08:21,760
Speaker 1: the general manager, became Last year at this time after

1357
01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:24,559
Speaker 1: eight games, you were up on the Seahawks by two games.

1358
01:08:25,240 --> 01:08:28,479
Speaker 1: But the stretch run had no Carson Palmer and they

1359
01:08:28,479 --> 01:08:31,599
Speaker 1: couldn't run the ball. Their offense completely went into the trash.

1360
01:08:32,160 --> 01:08:34,559
Speaker 1: This year, look how different it is. Carson Palmer's back

1361
01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:37,200
Speaker 1: playing the best football of his life, and you are.

1362
01:08:37,520 --> 01:08:40,360
Speaker 1: You are a three pronged run attack that can hit teams,

1363
01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:43,200
Speaker 1: and defense is in a different way. This team is

1364
01:08:43,240 --> 01:08:45,479
Speaker 1: built to go to the end of the season. This

1365
01:08:45,600 --> 01:08:48,800
Speaker 1: had forget what happened last year when Seattle beat them twice.

1366
01:08:49,080 --> 01:08:51,240
Speaker 1: They're gonna split with them. I guarantee that, and it

1367
01:08:51,360 --> 01:08:53,559
Speaker 1: may come with a win right here on Sunday. Carson

1368
01:08:53,600 --> 01:08:56,479
Speaker 1: Palmer said Thursday that the Cardinals are ten times better

1369
01:08:56,520 --> 01:08:58,879
Speaker 1: than they were the last time they went into Seattle.

1370
01:08:58,920 --> 01:09:05,040
Speaker 1: That's not true, but it's because it's literally ten times better. Yes,

1371
01:09:05,280 --> 01:09:08,479
Speaker 1: that would be basically robots from the future that are

1372
01:09:09,200 --> 01:09:11,920
Speaker 1: unable to make them drastically better. Can I introduce you

1373
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:14,760
Speaker 1: to Ryan Lindley's work about you know one and a

1374
01:09:14,800 --> 01:09:17,720
Speaker 1: half times better two times? All right, go ahead, well

1375
01:09:17,800 --> 01:09:20,120
Speaker 1: look at look at this matchup. Where do the Seahawks

1376
01:09:20,200 --> 01:09:22,920
Speaker 1: have the advantage in one place pass rush? Other than

1377
01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:26,439
Speaker 1: that the Cardinals are better and everything shot at the

1378
01:09:26,520 --> 01:09:29,320
Speaker 1: legion of boom. Well, look, they have great names and

1379
01:09:29,360 --> 01:09:31,640
Speaker 1: they've played pretty well, but the Cardinal secondary has been

1380
01:09:31,680 --> 01:09:34,760
Speaker 1: better this year. Patrick Peterson has outplayed Richard Sherman and

1381
01:09:34,840 --> 01:09:38,639
Speaker 1: Tyron Matthews outplayed Earl Thomas. I do think the Cardinal

1382
01:09:38,720 --> 01:09:40,559
Speaker 1: secondary is best in the league right now. If if

1383
01:09:40,560 --> 01:09:42,160
Speaker 1: you had to rank them, they would be number one.

1384
01:09:42,320 --> 01:09:45,000
Speaker 1: To your point about the skill all over the field

1385
01:09:45,080 --> 01:09:48,560
Speaker 1: for Arizona and particularly their skill positions on offense and

1386
01:09:48,680 --> 01:09:50,760
Speaker 1: NFL history, there has never been a team with a

1387
01:09:50,920 --> 01:09:55,000
Speaker 1: QB R B W R trio that's a triplet all

1388
01:09:55,080 --> 01:09:57,800
Speaker 1: over the age of thirty to amass four thousand passing yards,

1389
01:09:57,840 --> 01:10:01,960
Speaker 1: one thousand rushing yards, and one thousand receiving yards. Carson Palmer,

1390
01:10:02,080 --> 01:10:07,320
Speaker 1: Larry Fitz and Chris Johnson on pay yards all ready

1391
01:10:07,400 --> 01:10:09,559
Speaker 1: to do that. Potentially he lost me at R two

1392
01:10:09,640 --> 01:10:13,880
Speaker 1: D two three. That's a triplet. Quarterback running back, wide receiver.

1393
01:10:14,960 --> 01:10:17,599
Speaker 1: You say that the Cardinals have the advantage everywhere, including

1394
01:10:17,720 --> 01:10:20,160
Speaker 1: I would assume the running game, which is amazing to

1395
01:10:20,320 --> 01:10:22,439
Speaker 1: think about. I mean, that's the thing I'm looking at

1396
01:10:22,560 --> 01:10:25,679
Speaker 1: from the Seahawks that Marshawn Lynch went into the by

1397
01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:28,840
Speaker 1: still not quite getting it done. I think he's looked okay,

1398
01:10:28,920 --> 01:10:31,360
Speaker 1: but it's the line. It's just the whole team. They

1399
01:10:31,360 --> 01:10:33,720
Speaker 1: couldn't run the ball at all against Dallas. That was

1400
01:10:33,800 --> 01:10:37,880
Speaker 1: a disappointing performance I thought, especially offensively, Russell Wilson didn't

1401
01:10:37,920 --> 01:10:40,400
Speaker 1: really have one of his best games, made some bad decisions.

1402
01:10:40,439 --> 01:10:42,640
Speaker 1: Like I would agree that the Cardinals do have the

1403
01:10:42,760 --> 01:10:44,200
Speaker 1: edge for the most part, and I would include that

1404
01:10:44,240 --> 01:10:46,360
Speaker 1: at quarterback. Even though Russell Wilson, I think, is having

1405
01:10:46,400 --> 01:10:48,600
Speaker 1: a better season this year than a year ago, you

1406
01:10:48,680 --> 01:10:51,080
Speaker 1: really can't compare what he's doing to what Carson Palmer

1407
01:10:51,120 --> 01:10:53,599
Speaker 1: has been. Carson Palmer's having a better season than Cam Newton.

1408
01:10:53,640 --> 01:10:56,160
Speaker 1: And nobody talks about Carson Palmer not being an MVP.

1409
01:10:57,439 --> 01:11:00,960
Speaker 1: He remember two on the old QB and Next Party.

1410
01:11:01,120 --> 01:11:04,000
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer is this legit a m VP candidate as

1411
01:11:04,920 --> 01:11:07,080
Speaker 1: outside of Tom Brady, any quarterback in the league he

1412
01:11:07,160 --> 01:11:09,519
Speaker 1: doesn't fit people's agenda though, so he doesn't get thrown

1413
01:11:09,520 --> 01:11:11,519
Speaker 1: And I think they would argue that he has a

1414
01:11:11,600 --> 01:11:14,160
Speaker 1: ton of weapons and a lot of help around him,

1415
01:11:14,200 --> 01:11:16,479
Speaker 1: and that's the difference between him and Cam Newton if

1416
01:11:16,760 --> 01:11:19,200
Speaker 1: you were was also true of Aaron Rodgers a year

1417
01:11:19,240 --> 01:11:23,600
Speaker 1: ago and with Newton Shore. But Newton's numbers aren't m

1418
01:11:23,680 --> 01:11:26,240
Speaker 1: v P numbers. What he's done with the team are. Yeah,

1419
01:11:27,120 --> 01:11:30,839
Speaker 1: we uh had a split on this game. Mark Sessler

1420
01:11:31,280 --> 01:11:35,040
Speaker 1: and Chris Westling have taken the Cardinals the old zeus Er,

1421
01:11:35,439 --> 01:11:38,200
Speaker 1: connor Or and Kevin Patrick all with the Seahawks. Who's

1422
01:11:38,200 --> 01:11:40,320
Speaker 1: gonna Who's gonna cover Jimmy Graham in this game? The

1423
01:11:40,400 --> 01:11:44,040
Speaker 1: old user is an apostate. They talked about just leaving.

1424
01:11:45,160 --> 01:11:49,479
Speaker 1: That's a good point. Kevin Minter basically said, Jimmy Graham

1425
01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:53,560
Speaker 1: just won't Diombig Cannon cover him. He basically plays that

1426
01:11:53,680 --> 01:11:56,439
Speaker 1: safety line with lineback. Well, they don't know. Maybe it's

1427
01:11:56,479 --> 01:11:58,760
Speaker 1: Tyrann Matthew because Jimmy Graham. That was one thing that

1428
01:11:58,840 --> 01:12:01,759
Speaker 1: the Seahawks had going before the bye was Jimmy Graham

1429
01:12:01,840 --> 01:12:04,360
Speaker 1: was finally a big part of the offense. Dion Bickannon

1430
01:12:04,479 --> 01:12:07,360
Speaker 1: is playing a new position. It's called money backer. It's

1431
01:12:07,400 --> 01:12:09,920
Speaker 1: a dollar sign in front of LB on their depth chart.

1432
01:12:10,200 --> 01:12:12,800
Speaker 1: That sounds cool. I know I want to pay money back.

1433
01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:15,200
Speaker 1: He should be a rapper named that's something with ow

1434
01:12:15,439 --> 01:12:21,280
Speaker 1: offensive weapon that Uh. Finally, the Monday night football game. Uh,

1435
01:12:21,400 --> 01:12:24,000
Speaker 1: this should be a very one sided affair, but you

1436
01:12:24,040 --> 01:12:27,000
Speaker 1: should watch it anyway if you're a real football fan. Yeah,

1437
01:12:27,040 --> 01:12:30,439
Speaker 1: there's a challenge. The three and five Houston Texans traveling

1438
01:12:30,479 --> 01:12:34,280
Speaker 1: to Cincinnati to face the undefeated Bengals at eight and oh.

1439
01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:38,040
Speaker 1: Uh so, yeah, unless you really think of Brian Hoyer.

1440
01:12:38,560 --> 01:12:41,920
Speaker 1: Uh is going to shock the world. Uh. He's been

1441
01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:44,679
Speaker 1: playing pretty well this season. But the Bengals are really

1442
01:12:44,760 --> 01:12:47,479
Speaker 1: have hit their stride. They are playing great football and

1443
01:12:47,800 --> 01:12:49,920
Speaker 1: they're beating everybody. So why would this be a game?

1444
01:12:50,080 --> 01:12:53,240
Speaker 1: What's the beautiful city of Cincinnati and back to back

1445
01:12:53,320 --> 01:12:58,040
Speaker 1: weeks getting national love, national television hosting this game. What

1446
01:12:58,200 --> 01:13:01,760
Speaker 1: a revitalized area downtown Cincinnati. Good for them that they

1447
01:13:01,800 --> 01:13:04,320
Speaker 1: get everybody coming in there. They'll have all the lights up,

1448
01:13:04,400 --> 01:13:07,320
Speaker 1: it'll that good show and they'll wipe the floor with it.

1449
01:13:07,400 --> 01:13:09,479
Speaker 1: And you know it's great. It's starting to erase the

1450
01:13:09,720 --> 01:13:13,040
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton can't win in prime time. The football gods

1451
01:13:13,080 --> 01:13:15,839
Speaker 1: are saying, Okay, you got your hair in order. Everything

1452
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:17,920
Speaker 1: is working out well for the Bengals. What we're gonna

1453
01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:20,759
Speaker 1: do is serve you up the Browns and the Texans

1454
01:13:20,840 --> 01:13:22,960
Speaker 1: on a platter that will get rid of this whole

1455
01:13:23,040 --> 01:13:25,639
Speaker 1: prime time stink for you, and then you can move

1456
01:13:25,720 --> 01:13:29,519
Speaker 1: on forward with some confidence. What better way to get

1457
01:13:29,640 --> 01:13:32,639
Speaker 1: rid of the demons than to exercise the demons against

1458
01:13:32,880 --> 01:13:35,040
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans who beat them in the first couple

1459
01:13:35,080 --> 01:13:37,720
Speaker 1: of West Office. That's a great point, good call, and

1460
01:13:37,800 --> 01:13:40,320
Speaker 1: you know what would make the people and region Cincinnati

1461
01:13:40,439 --> 01:13:43,120
Speaker 1: even more happy, West because if you came back to them,

1462
01:13:43,400 --> 01:13:47,960
Speaker 1: not move. But I love Allegiance Cincinnati. I I have

1463
01:13:48,160 --> 01:13:50,840
Speaker 1: many good friends and family there. And yeah, you wish

1464
01:13:50,880 --> 01:13:53,160
Speaker 1: to the team, you wish for heartbreak for so many

1465
01:13:53,240 --> 01:13:56,559
Speaker 1: of them that love their Cincinnati Bengals' only football. I'm

1466
01:13:56,600 --> 01:13:58,920
Speaker 1: saying you should go back to the team. Was what

1467
01:13:59,040 --> 01:14:01,120
Speaker 1: better to tell that a mark on a Sunday when

1468
01:14:01,160 --> 01:14:04,519
Speaker 1: the Browns are losing. Alright, So I hope for their

1469
01:14:04,600 --> 01:14:07,479
Speaker 1: sake they have more in their lives than football. Andy Dalton,

1470
01:14:07,520 --> 01:14:09,120
Speaker 1: by the way, he was on the cover of ESPN

1471
01:14:09,160 --> 01:14:12,559
Speaker 1: the magazine this week, and uh, he will not say

1472
01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:15,080
Speaker 1: he would talk to the media on Thursday, will not

1473
01:14:15,280 --> 01:14:17,559
Speaker 1: say the product that he uses in his hair, which

1474
01:14:17,840 --> 01:14:20,360
Speaker 1: really shows a little bit of hair insecurity. Uh. And

1475
01:14:20,439 --> 01:14:22,600
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I'll do right now. Um, I

1476
01:14:22,840 --> 01:14:26,960
Speaker 1: use Redkin molding paste, which you could pick up. He

1477
01:14:26,960 --> 01:14:30,280
Speaker 1: would do a Google search. Great product and using exclusively

1478
01:14:30,680 --> 01:14:35,679
Speaker 1: for about five years now. My wife Emily, she podcast sponsor.

1479
01:14:35,760 --> 01:14:38,880
Speaker 1: She orders it in bulk. Call us Redkin and listen.

1480
01:14:38,960 --> 01:14:40,840
Speaker 1: I don't care. I'm just saying they do a great work.

1481
01:14:41,240 --> 01:14:43,599
Speaker 1: And I'm just saying, go get it. Don't worry about

1482
01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:46,800
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton hiding his secrets. That's all I'm saying. I

1483
01:14:47,040 --> 01:14:48,880
Speaker 1: don't I'm not quite sure how to take what just

1484
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:51,679
Speaker 1: happened here, but good for you. I wish I wish

1485
01:14:51,920 --> 01:14:54,840
Speaker 1: you could wager on things. I know we're not allowed

1486
01:14:54,880 --> 01:14:57,120
Speaker 1: to do that the NFL. But I saw a headline

1487
01:14:57,200 --> 01:15:00,640
Speaker 1: today on the around the NFL pay age. Dan, do

1488
01:15:00,680 --> 01:15:03,719
Speaker 1: you remember what the headline was exactly? It was Andy

1489
01:15:03,800 --> 01:15:07,280
Speaker 1: Dalton won't share product that lifted hair game. And you know,

1490
01:15:07,360 --> 01:15:10,160
Speaker 1: I just saw the headline and I was thinking, what

1491
01:15:10,280 --> 01:15:12,479
Speaker 1: would the odds have to be for this to not

1492
01:15:12,680 --> 01:15:16,240
Speaker 1: be Dan's post? Would it be one to one trillion

1493
01:15:16,880 --> 01:15:20,120
Speaker 1: like one, like, like, what were the chances that Dan

1494
01:15:20,320 --> 01:15:23,439
Speaker 1: was not the author of this? Like ke right, I

1495
01:15:23,680 --> 01:15:25,400
Speaker 1: clicked on the link and I was just hoping to

1496
01:15:25,520 --> 01:15:29,320
Speaker 1: be weirdly surprised that, like Chris or Mark randomly, I

1497
01:15:29,400 --> 01:15:31,760
Speaker 1: knew it wouldn't be the true. I just wanted life

1498
01:15:31,840 --> 01:15:34,680
Speaker 1: to be surprising you. You say, right, what you're interested in?

1499
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:37,920
Speaker 1: What right? What grabs you Mark? That? Uh? Greg, that's

1500
01:15:37,960 --> 01:15:41,400
Speaker 1: one of like the ethos of the rent. And I

1501
01:15:41,479 --> 01:15:43,400
Speaker 1: was glad you've been on fire today. I think you

1502
01:15:43,439 --> 01:15:45,759
Speaker 1: would win the m v P Award for today between

1503
01:15:45,800 --> 01:15:50,160
Speaker 1: this and you're DeShawn Jackson Purple Nerple post you ever? Really,

1504
01:15:50,479 --> 01:15:53,000
Speaker 1: this has covered the landscape. There's gonna be a thirty

1505
01:15:53,080 --> 01:15:55,120
Speaker 1: for thirty on this day, like the o J thing.

1506
01:15:55,240 --> 01:15:58,000
Speaker 1: It's gonna be It's gonna be the old Juice or

1507
01:15:58,080 --> 01:16:00,400
Speaker 1: November twelve. I got ten hours of sleep last night,

1508
01:16:00,439 --> 01:16:03,560
Speaker 1: and I think it's really paid up. Um, that's it.

1509
01:16:03,960 --> 01:16:07,640
Speaker 1: We all took, of course, Cincinnati to remain undefeated in

1510
01:16:07,680 --> 01:16:12,320
Speaker 1: this game. That is it for uh. Thursday Friday edition
