1
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, yeah, there's a keeper into the show.

2
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 2: No beeps.

3
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 3: This is NFL Daily. It's week eate. We're doing the

4
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 3: preview show. We're in the Chris Westling podcast studio. Yes,

Speaker 3: Jordan Rodrigue, and Patrick Claiban are all here today. What

7
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 3: a day it's gonna be. What a way to start

8
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 3: we Kate.

9
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 4: I love it.

10
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 2: It's the eve of the midway point of the season

11
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 2: and we got it.

12
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 3: I was trying to think of the actor's name who

13
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 3: I was called a low rent version of it was

14
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 3: related to our conversation Adam Brody, Adam Brody, yes, earlier today,

15
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 3: and I couldn't like it.

16
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 4: That come to me so quickly.

17
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 3: I couldn't think of his name, and we were having

18
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 3: a conversation about lookalikes and whatever, and I wanted to say,

19
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 3: I'm not a low rent Adam Brody. I'm like a

20
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 3: medium rent, you know, maybe not like Santa Monica prices,

21
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 3: but like you're not saving money on me as as

22
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 3: Adam broog That's.

23
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 5: A pretty strong cop. I'm say they're looking at it

24
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 5: right now, like I mean, I definitely no rent part

25
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 5: to it.

26
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 3: I mean I would take it like well, like literally

27
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 3: lower maybe lower ceiling like I.

28
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 2: Just I won't. I won't take too much of everybody's time.

29
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 1: But there's a segment of the population that over indexes

30
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: in offering their I'll save you the beep's opinion, saying

31
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: that people look like other people. Yes, and they're constantly wrong.

32
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: They meet a stranger and the first thing they say

33
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: to the human being who has existed for the entirety

34
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: of their life is that they look like somebody else.

35
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 1: It's like, has anybody ever told you look like this? No, idiot,

36
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: nobody's ever said that. What about Hello? What if you

37
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: could talk and meet with and greet with somebody in

38
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: a normal sense, you tell them.

39
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 3: Who they look like?

40
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 2: They look in the mirror every day? Shut up.

41
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 6: Yes, I recently had an experience with this where not

42
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 6: only did and I have a twin sister, so I'm

43
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 6: used to being alike.

44
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 3: You guys do look alike.

45
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 4: Yes, we do look alike.

46
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 6: I was recently told by a man that I did

47
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 6: not know at.

48
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 4: All who was up there in age, that I looked like.

49
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 6: Somebody and he could have just left it there, And

50
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 6: then he decided to add and she was my childhood crush.

51
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 4: Good for you, and I was like, I'm gonna walk away.

52
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 2: Now that leaves the segment of people I was talking to.

53
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 4: Yes, there's a ben diagram happening here.

54
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 3: That's track. That's just bad, old old man.

55
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 4: You told me you were in line behind Adam Brody.

56
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 3: I was. I probably told this story on the same

57
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 3: show like a year ago, and like everything else, I

58
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 3: forgot all about that. So Adam Brody over indexing on

59
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 3: NFL Daily, Big Fan check out Nobody wants this Season

60
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 3: two coming up on Netflix. We were actually paid. This

61
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 3: whole thing was spowned out. It's our preview show and

62
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 3: it's a little different this week. We're breaking it up.

63
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 3: But we decided this week because the AFC, the NFC,

64
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 3: it wasn't making sense this week. There was there wasn't

65
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 3: enough too many buys, NFC games and everything. So we're

66
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,239
Speaker 3: going to do the early games and we're going to

67
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 3: do the late games just how you watch it on Sunday.

68
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 3: And I'm excited for that.

69
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 2: I'm excited for it too because shout out to chronological order.

70
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: I know the algorithms got rid of that in social

71
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: media because the worst people in the world to get

72
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: to dictate how we consume content and made those decisions.

73
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 2: How about this.

74
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 1: We're in chronological order, baby, and we start with the

75
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: New York Giants at the Philadelphia Eagles, who have a

76
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: chance to get revenge from the start of their disaster

77
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: of stretch where.

78
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 2: They lose two games. Oh yeah, they won agains the Vikings.

79
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 2: They're back. They're good.

80
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 1: They're favored by seven and a half over under forty

81
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: three and a half. Steve Kevin Burkhart and Tom Brady

82
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: on the call. Does Jackson Dart befuddle the Eagles once again?

83
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: Seven and a half? Is this the Brandon Graham bounce?

84
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: A big number? That's a big number.

85
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 2: Look.

86
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 5: I love the way Philly played last week. I mean

87
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 5: he'd be able to hit the big plays. Now can

88
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 5: they do it consistently? We'll see against his defense. I

89
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 5: like footuff in this game. That number is way too

90
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 5: big for me. I like the fact that Jalen Hurts though,

91
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 5: showed up. He took everything and said, you know what,

92
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 5: let me throw it, let me get it to my guys.

93
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 5: Let's calm everybody down, unlet's play ball.

94
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 3: Did he calm everybody down?

95
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 6: Though?

96
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 3: Because AJ Brown ad another weird.

97
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: It's just at some point like AJ can just post

98
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: on Instagram, yeah, like we don't have to say deep,

99
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 1: and it's like it's like Taylor Swift tweets before an

100
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: album release every single week and people are like, oh,

101
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: so AJ said this, This clearly means that, like, let's just.

102
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 3: Use it me but not using me. We don't have

103
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 3: to delve deep. I think they'll be using him a

104
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 3: lot though this week, because this Giant secondary already had issues.

105
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 3: If they don't have Paulson Adebo and Javon Holland, who

106
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 3: were out of practice on Wednesday, they are in deep

107
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 3: trouble because the drop off to Deontay Banks, who was

108
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 3: a first round pick for them. You could see it

109
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 3: in that fourth quarter comeback by the Broncos. Javon Holland

110
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 3: was actually out for a lot of that game. Drew

111
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,559
Speaker 3: Phillips is about the most targeted player in the league,

112
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 3: and he has made a lot of big plays and

113
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 3: he has given up a lot of big plays. But

114
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 3: you have a lot of Giants fans who are not

115
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 3: happy with that secondary, and I think that Eagles are admitting,

116
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 3: basically they should be a pass first team they're not

117
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 3: a good running team, not that they have to give

118
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 3: up on the run, but they should be better at

119
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 3: passing the ball.

120
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 4: It is October season of Halloween.

121
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 6: I just kept having this image in my head of

122
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 6: that famous I now I can't remember the name of

123
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 6: it because I've been ill, but it's the famous movie

124
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,799
Speaker 6: with the three Witches and they pull out ocus Pocus

125
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 6: and they pull out this giant book and it's got

126
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 6: an eyeball on it and a creeks open and all

127
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 6: the dust comes off of it. That's the play action

128
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 6: passing game.

129
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 3: Oh, let's go.

130
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 6: Okay, that's the only time I will yell today.

131
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 4: Sorry to the listeners there on that one.

132
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 6: But yeah, I think that them showing that a little

133
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 6: bit more diversity in what they want to do and

134
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 6: how they want to move.

135
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 4: Jalen Hurts spot. Yes, it was only technically four.

136
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 6: Plays, highly highly productive passing plays thirty yards per throw

137
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 6: per completion on those play action passing game game concepts,

138
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 6: And I just think that this is a promising start

139
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 6: for Eagles team that, yes, as Lane Johnson said.

140
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 4: Had to get a little bit more predictable in that regard.

141
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I was Greg, I mean after seeing what

142
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 5: Denver did to that giant secondary once those injuries happened,

143
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 5: there's no reason why Philadelphi's not going to attack that

144
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 5: early sort of so often it's a Saquon can go

145
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 5: ahead and get some and gets his old team.

146
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 6: On the other side, Vic Fangio has been blitzing more

147
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 6: to try to manufacture pressure, and Brandon Graham coming back

148
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 6: is is great.

149
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 4: But I don't know how many snaps he's gonna.

150
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,239
Speaker 6: Actually play right off of the podcasting couch shout out,

151
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 6: but our friend bo Wolf and phl Y podcast over there.

152
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 4: But if you can rush Jackson Dart with four.

153
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,559
Speaker 6: He is way way worse than he is against the Blitz.

154
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 6: He's actually playing pretty well against the Blitz's getting blitzed

155
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 6: a lot, and he's completing the fourth highest amount of

156
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 6: passes per next Gen in the NFL against the Blitz specifically,

157
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,679
Speaker 6: But if when he just rushes for the numbers almost

158
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 6: invert and he sort of fritzes out, and then you.

159
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 3: Kind of see it because they just don't have a

160
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 3: drop back passing game where he hits guys on like

161
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 3: his best plays create a play, which he's he's been

162
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 3: great at, but it's there's not a lot of conventional

163
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 3: offen and and to.

164
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: His defense, you know, you get late in that game,

165
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: there's no Elikue Neighbors. Yeah, all right, wande All is

166
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: seeing coverage by some of the best secondary players in

167
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: the NFL.

168
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 2: So it's tough.

169
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: But the one thing that we didn't see because he's there,

170
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: he's averaging twelve plus epa on scramble runs since he

171
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: took over. He didn't have a scrambling first down against

172
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos as well as he played in that game.

173
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: And so this is our first chance to get a

174
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: defense's second look through at the at the RPA game

175
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: with Brian day Bowl and Jackson Dart and I'm interested helpful,

176
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: great point, it's got a great point patch.

177
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 3: And it they're going for a sweep. This is such

178
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 3: a big game in the Giant season. I think people

179
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 3: have just kind of crossed them off. They could easily

180
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 3: be three and four coming into this and trying to

181
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 3: get the sweep. If they get the sweep, like that's

182
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 3: a massive moment in the Brian Dable experience. But if not,

183
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 3: they're one and three in the division already. They've played

184
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 3: so many division games they're pretty buried there at two

185
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 3: and six, and that that little uptick is now really

186
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 3: just a nice part of the season and the rest

187
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 3: of it is just about developing their quarterback. Here's the thing,

188
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,679
Speaker 3: though there's zero chance the Eagles get pressure with four

189
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 3: this is the best tackle combination maybe in the league

190
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 3: right now. I mean Nick Benito, he had he didn't

191
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 3: just get shut out last week. In terms of pass

192
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 3: rush win rate, you don't see this too often. It

193
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 3: was a zero percent. And immediately you think Andrew Thomas,

194
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 3: no sight everyone. That's happening against everyone with the Giants,

195
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 3: But it wasn't all Andrew Thomas. There's actually a lot

196
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 3: of Germaine illumin or so they were a really good

197
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 3: pass protecting team on the edges, and I think the Eagles.

198
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 3: That's a weakness for the Eagles this year.

199
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 4: And here's a tease.

200
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 6: Go read my pal Charlotte Carroll at The Athletic, who

201
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 6: has a feature coming soon on why and I won't

202
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 6: spoil it here on why that offensive line is playing

203
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 6: so well together right now. Somehow their cosmic timing has

204
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 6: all seemed to link up well.

205
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 4: And that's all I'll say about that. But it is interesting.

206
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 6: We're talking about the Giants offensive line as one of

207
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 6: the better groups in the league and they look at

208
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 6: and we're also talking about the Eagles offensive line that

209
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 6: needed a bounce back game and kind of sneaky got.

210
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 4: It last week in a big way, which I think

211
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 4: is important.

212
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, especially in terms of the Blitz pick up. You

213
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: would like to see Saquon get back because he's almost

214
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: a full two yards on yards per carry behind where

215
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,319
Speaker 1: he was last year on outside runs.

216
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,479
Speaker 2: And you know, we talked about imagination.

217
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: They literally ran the same run play within five plays

218
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: and they just ran it to the other side last week.

219
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: So all the celebration of Jalen hitting those deep balls

220
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,719
Speaker 1: to aj and Devanta last week, the run game is

221
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: so kind.

222
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 4: Of look away.

223
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: Needs to get a little more diversity to the same

224
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 1: extent that they had last year.

225
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 3: It's weird, like, I mean, no Sequin Barkley's not on

226
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,559
Speaker 3: pace for a thousand rushing yards this year.

227
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 2: I mean no explosives.

228
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 5: I mean every week we saw him hit one for

229
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 5: a minimum forty five yards. That just has not happened

230
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 5: this year.

231
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 3: Landon Dickerson came back from an injury though, and look better.

232
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 3: We also should know the Giants cut their kicker. Jude, Yeah,

233
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 3: I got Tamney, you know from Ireland. You feel for

234
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:08,719
Speaker 3: that kid.

235
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 2: They let him get back on the plane.

236
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 3: You feel for him. A guy who kind of came

237
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 3: from a non traditional football background got his chance. It

238
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 3: did not go well, and we'll see. They could go

239
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 3: with young Waku who lost the battle to him supposedly

240
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 3: in practice, or Graham Gano is coming off an injury

241
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 3: and was activated.

242
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 5: We real quick to say that Graham has been activated,

243
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 5: so that.

244
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 3: It's on them, by the way, they went into that

245
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 3: season with a thirty eight y old kicker who hasn't

246
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 3: been good and has been hurt two straight years. So

247
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 3: Joe Shane, I'm watching you well.

248
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: When you're in a place where a couple folks needed

249
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: to be somebody else's fault, it's a it's a difficult

250
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: place to kick footballs because hard to kick footballs in

251
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 1: the NFL. To our next opportunity, the Chicago Bears, winners

252
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: of two consecutive games. The round game is going and

253
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: we get to ask Greg Rolls and Thals. The Baltimore

254
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: Rave are at home favored by six and a half,

255
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: who after coming off not being able to stop anybody

256
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: in the over unders forty nine and a half iron

257
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: eagle and Justin James Watt on the call, what is

258
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 1: the value Greg of a buye and was it good

259
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: enough for the Baltimore Ravens to fix things?

260
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 3: Yes, if it means that Lamar Jackson's back on the field.

261
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,839
Speaker 3: Sometimes you wonder how much does Vegas know because this

262
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 3: number was there before they know us.

263
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 2: Greg.

264
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, if he's not out there, obviously that's not

265
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,559
Speaker 3: the number. And he was out there on Wednesday practice,

266
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 3: but they said he was taking reck limited behind Tyler

267
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 3: Huntley and Cooper Rush, So that's obviously the biggest factor.

268
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 3: Maybe there's a thought Patrick and they are healthier on defense.

269
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 3: They're getting a lot of guys back, including Rokwe Smith.

270
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 3: That sounds like that defensive performance they did show something

271
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,199
Speaker 3: in their last game before the bye. There were signs

272
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 3: there that they made some improvements. The pass rush, to

273
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 3: me is still the biggest problem, maybe against Caleb Williams,

274
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 3: Like this isn't that big of a week where you

275
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:05,599
Speaker 3: need the pass rush because he's going to hold the

276
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 3: ball anyways and hasn't really been seeing things.

277
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 5: Yet, but they've been running it they've been running the

278
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 5: ball well. I mean Deandres who said back to back,

279
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 5: good game. We talked about it before. The offensive line,

280
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 5: especially some of the combinations they have on each side,

281
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 5: is performing really well. In the run game. You see

282
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 5: in the outside well, this is inside zone right here.

283
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 5: The way they're blocking on the video the folks watching

284
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 5: on YouTube, and that's what's setting up in the passing game.

285
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 2: I do think Baltimore is going to be better. They

286
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 2: have no choice.

287
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 5: Actually, I think if they come out and stumble right here,

288
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 5: it's not over for them, but it's over for them.

289
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 6: Chicago looks really one dimensional right now. To you guys's point,

290
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 6: it's good for them that it's in the run game.

291
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 6: It's good for them that this is the foundation that's

292
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 6: being set, especially post by. We talked about it on

293
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 6: a previous show, especially their zone runs. Coming out of

294
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 6: that bye week, it's like everybody finally got on the

295
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 6: same page. And it's not just that the omenadae is

296
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 6: in has has replaced the previous starter, but also this

297
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 6: whole group is communicating really well, and DeAndre Swift is

298
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 6: picking up more than what he's been blocked for and

299
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 6: prior to the bye he was picking up less than

300
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,079
Speaker 6: what was being blocked open for him. So that's a

301
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,839
Speaker 6: huge swing and a huge change, and it's good because

302
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 6: Caleb Williams is still having kind of these up and

303
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 6: down games. This last game against the Saints. The Saints

304
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 6: can't really rush the passer. The Saints can't really get

305
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 6: pressure effectively, and he was holding the ball and it's

306
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 6: not like they were covering a crazy amount. He just

307
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 6: wasn't like fully sure of what he was seeing and

308
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 6: when he was scrambling and when he was kind of

309
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 6: moving out of structure, he was not picking his spots

310
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 6: where he could run and stead he was throwing and

311
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 6: then vice versa.

312
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 4: He talked about it in the media and Ben Johnson

313
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 4: did as well last week.

314
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 6: It's like being a little bit more decisive, being a

315
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 6: little more quick with his decision making.

316
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,719
Speaker 4: And Ben Johnson also put some of that on his.

317
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 6: Own shoulders as the play caller as well, setting up

318
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 6: a little bit more layers.

319
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 3: They though had five fight false starts. That's pretty embarrassing.

320
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, but you can at least with this staff, because

321
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:05,959
Speaker 7: you know, Ben Johnson had said he had lost sleep

322
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 7: personally over the lack of success in the ground game

323
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 7: where he said sometimes they were they were blocking it

324
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 7: up properly, and the holes weren't getting run through.

325
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: Sometimes every hole they tried to run through wasn't necessarily

326
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: blocked up properly. And I love the way that he

327
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: has kind of vocalized the accountability for everybody without being

328
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: mean spirited or like.

329
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 2: Hunder running that doesn't happen in the NFL.

330
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, perhaps we'll get to some other teams where that's

331
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: not necessarily the case. And and the buye was had

332
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: that value for them. And then you look over at

333
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens, where you know, the bye gave a

334
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: lot of Ravens fans chances to look at what was

335
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: going wrong. And even when eight was playing the protection

336
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: from Daniel Filele, it's it's been highlighted, and so you

337
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: look at where they were successful. Lamar was completing ninety

338
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: one percent of his passes on play action before before

339
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: the injury, and I really think that that was a

340
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: virtue of well, you you have a play that looks

341
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: like a run block to start things off, and then

342
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: Lamar figures it out. The rest of everything needs to

343
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: be figured out, and this one and I'm interested to

344
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: see one if Filele is playing in this game and

345
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: to what the play calling looks like if he's in there,

346
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: and if, of course, if it's in.

347
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 3: There, and they got some they got some outside zone

348
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 3: working with Derrick Henry at least early in that game

349
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 3: against the Rams where they kind of look like themselves. Again,

350
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 3: your boy, Nate Wiggins, I don't know if it's your boy,

351
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 3: but he's just on the Ravens. He's been playing.

352
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 4: Great, but he's on the Ravens.

353
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 3: I just assume like anyone on the Ravens, he's been great.

354
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 3: So not everyone is struggling, but they're their rookie Malachi

355
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 3: Starks has been in the middle of a lot of problems.

356
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 3: And then Marlon Humphrey was not at practice Wednesday, which

357
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 3: is surprising because he was there Monday. Jyr Alexander still

358
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 3: getting his knee drained. So people always think like, oh,

359
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 3: the bye, that's going to solve all of our injury problems.

360
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 3: But it's like it's one week. It doesn't necessarily solve that.

361
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you talk about Malachi Starks, I mean, were

362
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 5: the Ravens for two years in a row. Now I've

363
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 5: gotten tagged this in the middle of the defense. You know,

364
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 5: everyone thinks Kyle Hamilton can solve everything, but you can't

365
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 5: just move into a certain position and think, okay, because

366
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 5: because he's back off the line of scrimmage, it's going

367
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 5: to solve everything.

368
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 2: Everything else has to work.

369
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 5: They have their interior linebackers to do a lot in

370
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 5: the past in the run game, and this is one

371
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 5: right here where I think Chicago with their tight ends

372
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 5: could do a little something and cause him some problems.

373
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: The amount of a lot for everybody in that second

374
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: and third level gets to be more when, as Greg

375
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: pointed out, you can't get pressure on the quarterback, and

376
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: then you're asking guys who, let's be frank, with the injuries,

377
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: who could not run to cover people that they can't

378
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: They can't cover anywhere. So it was a rough opportunity,

379
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: but perhaps to buy well, we'll.

380
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 2: Have a chance.

381
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 3: It feels like kind of a massive game. I agree.

382
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 3: I know you're a Raven. I might have to take

383
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 3: this game. I just feel like this the Raven's got

384
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 3: to win this game. And if the Bears actually can

385
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 3: get this done, then it starts feeling like, okay, this

386
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 3: is a real thing.

387
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 2: All right, let's discuss another team.

388
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: That just keeps winning despite all the obstacles going on

389
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: the road where they are favorite. It is Kyle Shanahan

390
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers one and a half point

391
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: favorites against a rough look at Houston Texans offense that

392
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 1: got the loss on Monday night in Seattle as Jordan

393
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: is the over unders forty one and a half. Kevin

394
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: Coogler and Mouse Johnston on the call. What can Nick

395
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: Kyley squad do against this forty nine ers defense, this resurgent,

396
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: youthful group despite the injuries, Keith getting stops.

397
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's just a really master for coaching job by

398
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 6: Robert Sala and partnering with Kyle Shanahan again kind of

399
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 6: back in his happy place.

400
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 4: I remember talking to him during training.

401
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 6: Camp about just the level of competitiveness that Kyle Shanahan,

402
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 6: I think, especially after Robert Sala was a head coach himself,

403
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,919
Speaker 6: really has leaned on him and there's been I think

404
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 6: a little bit more like pure collaboration versus pure competition,

405
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 6: and several years ago when Robert Sala was there before

406
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 6: it was an all out battle schematically at practice, even

407
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 6: trying to figure out different advantages in each other's defense.

408
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,479
Speaker 6: It famously led to Robert Solaz White nine and all

409
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 6: of these types of things trying to stop Kyle Shanahan's

410
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 6: outside zone and all of his like hybrid freak players

411
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 6: that he had. Well, now there's a lot of collaboration

412
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 6: purely for the growth of the roster, and they really,

413
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 6: I think, in their scouting and their talent identification departments,

414
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 6: have found young players who are fully bought in and

415
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 6: have this energy and like I know, forty nine ers

416
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 6: fans don't want to hear it, but it reminds me

417
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 6: a lot of the twenty twenty three Rams, where there

418
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 6: is no expectations that was self inflicted by the Rams.

419
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 6: In terms of the roster overhaul, this is less so

420
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 6: because there's so many injuries everywhere.

421
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 4: But you've got like Tatum.

422
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 6: Bethoon coming out of nowhere having just an absolutely electric

423
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 6: game filling in for Fred Warner, wearing his jersey to

424
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 6: the stadium. You have guys like Upton Stout playing bigger

425
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 6: than his size a week after week. You've got Alfred

426
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 6: Collins who looks really good in the middle. Mikel Williams

427
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,439
Speaker 6: looks especially good, you know, against the run, And I

428
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 6: just feel like this is a group they're playing without

429
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 6: the way to of expectations and like every single opportunity

430
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 6: is one for them purely to grow and then the

431
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 6: results sort of are speaking for themselves. I think it's

432
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 6: a fantastic job by that entire organization to come this

433
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 6: far the way that they have.

434
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 5: I had a Falcons team that didn't challenge them. Yeah,

435
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,880
Speaker 5: I mean they just ransom obvious. Okay, let's run a screen,

436
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,239
Speaker 5: Let's throw everything outside and see if they can catch us.

437
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 5: It was a terrible game plan by Atlanta. Houston doesn't

438
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 5: have that opportunity. Their play calling was a mess against

439
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 5: Seattle when they.

440
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 2: Went for it. You know, the the off you.

441
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 5: Know they off tackle run two plays in a row

442
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 5: on third and fourth down when your offensive line is

443
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 5: getting reset.

444
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 2: And the numbers weren't there. They weren't, it's there.

445
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,439
Speaker 5: They ran it to the freaking weak side of the

446
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 5: offense and got stood up twice. I it's frustrating. You know,

447
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 5: people can come down on TJ. Stroud all they want,

448
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 5: and he's not blameless in all of this, but we've

449
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 5: seen it when he doesn't have any time and he

450
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 5: doesn't trust what's in front of him, it's a disaster

451
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 5: and most quarterbacks are like that. Now, we don't know

452
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 5: if Nico Klein is going to be able to play

453
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 5: in this game.

454
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, it sounds like he won't. He's in the concussion.

455
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,959
Speaker 3: Did suffer a concussion. He was not a practice Wednesday,

456
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 3: and neither was Christian Kirk.

457
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,679
Speaker 5: Well, then then that's going to if you're not a

458
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 5: practice at all, because usually on Wednesdays you're on the

459
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 5: field in some way, shape or form. Thursdays you're going

460
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 5: through it. That's kind of leading to the track. So,

461
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 5: I mean they just don't have a threat. Yeah, offensively,

462
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,479
Speaker 5: and and and that's an issue, you know. Defensively, those

463
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,400
Speaker 5: dudes are playing their hearts out. I mean, so maybe

464
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 5: they can get some takeaways. I mean, you never know

465
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 5: what's going to happen with that. Maybe they can rattle

466
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 5: Mac Jones because that defense is legit as it comes.

467
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

468
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 5: Offensively, man, it is a nightmare. You I didn't think

469
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 5: it get worse than it did last year. It is worse.

470
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:43,640
Speaker 3: It is worse.

471
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 6: Yeah, it looks certainly the tape looks where points per

472
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,679
Speaker 6: game is still about the same, But the tape looks.

473
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,479
Speaker 3: Because of that one game other than that there's sixteen

474
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 3: points a game other than the right against the Rave

475
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 3: against the Ravens, that's it against the Wors.

476
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 6: I would say this is going to be I think

477
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 6: a game because you're looking at the practice reports this week,

478
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 6: injury reports this week, and you potentially are without a

479
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,880
Speaker 6: couple of like still dependable guy in one, very good

480
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 6: player and Nico Collins. These young receivers Jayden Higgins and

481
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 6: Jalen Nole have I see their potential, I see their upside,

482
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 6: but they're making mistakes. They're not in the right spot.

483
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 6: Sometimes they're dropping passes. Sometimes c J. Stroud is not

484
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 6: hitting them. Other times when this is a game where you,

485
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,719
Speaker 6: if you're Robert Sala, I just don't think that you

486
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 6: trust that their receivers. I just don't think you respect

487
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 6: their receivers. I think you send everything you've got at CJ. Stroud,

488
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 6: who I've got some pressure stats for him from last game.

489
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,199
Speaker 6: He was pressured on thirty one point five percent of

490
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 6: his dropbacks. You only had fifty five yards on those plays,

491
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 6: four for fourteen, one touchdown, one interception, So that's a

492
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 6: twenty eight point six completion percentage when under pressure. But

493
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 6: when he was not pressured. He's also not because there's

494
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 6: there's just ghosts or something's going on. That offensive line

495
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 6: is what it is, and the scheme is not good either.

496
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 6: When he was one hundred and seventy four yards nineteen

497
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 6: to thirty five, no touchdowns, no completions or no no interceptions,

498
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 6: only throwing five yards per attempt on those when he's

499
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 6: not pressured, and just a fifty four percent completion percentage,

500
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 6: and it's just it's all none of it's looking good

501
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 6: and you're you're seeing sort of the the bad habits

502
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 6: could could start to set in and the like we

503
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 6: joke about ghosts with Sam Darnold, but like, this line

504
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 6: is not giving him anything to work with. Neither is

505
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 6: the play calling. Neither is the run game because they

506
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 6: look slow on the ground too.

507
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 2: They're just and think about this straw. I got bailed

508
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 2: out on that safety.

509
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,360
Speaker 3: Oh he got They got bailed out a couple times.

510
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 3: Should have been a defensive Touchdo I mean that's the

511
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 3: potentially against the best team, best defense in the NFL.

512
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 3: Those numbers tell a story though to me, because the

513
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 3: fact that he was only pressured on thirty one percent

514
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 3: of the passes and he's throwing so deep is like

515
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 3: he's they're not even trying to let plays develop because

516
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,199
Speaker 3: exactly when you talk about like the ghosts, it's just

517
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 3: not having faith that the offense is going to work

518
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 3: if you do throw the ball. And I do think

519
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 3: we are seeing a different CJ. Stroud, unfortunately because of

520
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 3: all the free rushers and sometimes it's set early early

521
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 3: in that game. I bet if we looked at the

522
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 3: first two drives of the game, that pressure percentage was

523
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 3: a lot higher because there were free rushers everywhere the

524
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 3: first quarter, and then after that he's just kind of

525
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,360
Speaker 3: getting rid of the ball and hoping and it's hard

526
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 3: to blame him, but man, it's depressing that they are

527
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 3: an underdog, like against the team without you know, without Purdy,

528
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 3: without Bosa, without Warner and Zuma, without everyone. That's true,

529
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 3: you do have CMC. You do have Mac Jones whining

530
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 3: now one hundred thousand dollars every time he starts. Mac Jones. Oh, actually,

531
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,199
Speaker 3: we don't know that mac Jones is starting. It's Wednesday

532
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 3: as we're taping this, and it could be Rock Perdy returning,

533
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 3: but I don't think they're in a hurry. And turf

534
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 3: Toe is troubling and he can do enough at least

535
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 3: Maybe I don't know this, This is bound to be ugly.

536
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: Or yeah, ugly just for one team considering where things

537
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: have gone. But hey, maybe Will Anderson can get in

538
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: there or make seventeen plays and get as Texans.

539
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 5: Maybe maybe you know, to go full circle, we could

540
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 5: say maybe Houston looks like a team we saw a

541
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 5: couple of years ago that.

542
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 3: Would be good And like the forty nine Ers did

543
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 3: get the running game going for pretty much the first

544
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 3: time all season last week against Atlanta, where it was

545
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 3: consistent success rate high. It is the Robert Sala versus

546
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 3: Damiko Ryan Oh bowl. I kind of like that, like

547
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 3: which one took took the recipe in San Francisco and

548
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:26,360
Speaker 3: did better.

549
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 4: But Demiico's not calling the defense right now.

550
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 3: Wow, but they do have his defense.

551
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: They do have something in common. During their tenures as

552
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,199
Speaker 1: head coach, both of them didn't get to make all

553
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 1: the decisions they would have liked to been in there.

554
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 3: We are and keep an eye. Derek Stingley not having

555
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,360
Speaker 3: a good year Like sometimes I like he's had more

556
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 3: penalties this year than the last two years combined. He's

557
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 3: given up a lot of completions where he's in coverage

558
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 3: which are just not used to seeing, you know, in

559
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 3: this matchup unless Pierce. I mean, I don't know who's

560
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 3: going to really bother him, but it has been interesting

561
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 3: to see him not having as good a season. Let's

562
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 3: take a quick break and we're going to be back

563
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 3: for another organizational rivalry game.

564
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 2: Man, no love for Kenchick porn.

565
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 4: The Bourne identity.

566
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,640
Speaker 3: Back on NFL Daily And yeah, I mentioned a revenge game.

567
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 3: I don't think Sean McDermott and Brandon Beaner looking for

568
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 3: revenge because Carolina helped set them up back in the

569
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 3: day for success.

570
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 4: And imagine if they kept them both.

571
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 3: Right at various points over the last seven years, David

572
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 3: Tepper should have been thinking, hmm, maybe I had the

573
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 3: right guys in the building back then.

574
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 5: Well, there's a lot of guys who are the right

575
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 5: guys for one organization, but they're another organization.

576
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 2: They're not quite the right.

577
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, they would not be looking as good if they

578
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 3: were with that team. You know who is looking better? Patrick?

579
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,159
Speaker 3: On Wednesday, surprisingly Bryce Young doing cardio but out a

580
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 3: boot on at practice. Maybe these reports that he was

581
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 3: missing this week or premature if nothing else. It doesn't

582
00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 3: seem like a long term injury.

583
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, everybody's body is different. They're not machines. High could

584
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: mean one thing for one person and something else for.

585
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 3: I've never seen something reported as a high angle screen

586
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 3: and someone moving the way that they had cameras on

587
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 3: Bryce Young how he was moving on Wednesday. I've never

588
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 3: seen that.

589
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:17,399
Speaker 2: But but we allude, we allude to it.

590
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 1: He is light a couple, a couple of franchises where

591
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 1: you think back a generationally talented, large mechanized quarterback with

592
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: perhaps some underperforming aspects around him spurning to long term success.

593
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 2: It's the Buffalo Bills and the Carolina.

594
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 1: Panthers in different eras as the maybe, look there were

595
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 1: a lot of former Panthers when they both got there.

596
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: Oh yeah where things have fallen off since then, those

597
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: former Panthers have gone elsewhere.

598
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 3: Jack Thompson on this Bills team, How about that.

599
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 4: Jack Thompson revenge game?

600
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 1: The Carolina Panthers looking at the Buffalo Bills actually seven

601
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 1: point favorites. Who better to be on this call than

602
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 1: Adam Amine and g reg for this particular matchup where

603
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 1: Steve Bryce playing seems to be the main looming issue.

604
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: But other than that, can the Buffalo Bills find somebody

605
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,719
Speaker 1: that could separate? Do they need to make a trade

606
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 1: and go get somebody? Oh well, do they need to

607
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: make a trade. I mean they can find someone to

608
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: help out the secondary. I mean, but every team needs,

609
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 1: you know, secondary help right now.

610
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 2: And so I'm looking at it. Bryce, youunk doesn't play

611
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 2: Andy Dalton.

612
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 5: They've got some running backs in Carolina who can do

613
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 5: their thing. So if they could run the ball, and

614
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 5: I think you run the ball in Buffalo a little bit.

615
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 5: I mean, this is a way to play keep away.

616
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 5: The number is big, I get it, it's Buffalo, but

617
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 5: Carolina is playing better defensively. I mean that defensive line

618
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 5: is starting to show some of the talent that's there

619
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 5: Dan Morgan. I don't know if some of that was

620
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 5: there for Brandon Bean. I don't think so. I think

621
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 5: it's so Dan Morgan. But they're starting to come together

622
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 5: a little bit. And so again, I like Buffalo to

623
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 5: win this game. I don't know if I love the number,

624
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 5: but I don't know if it necessarily hinges on Bryce

625
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 5: Young playing.

626
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's two of the biggest mismatches of the entire weekend.

627
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 3: Are in this game, Yeah, Accordion Dvoa. The Bills have

628
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 3: the worst rush defense in the entire NFL. Yeah, And

629
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 3: the Panthers running game has been excellent their top six

630
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 3: or seven on the season, and if you just looked

631
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,919
Speaker 3: at the last handful of weeks, it's even better than that.

632
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 3: Then again, on the other side, Derek Brown's a great player,

633
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 3: and he can rush the passer a little bit, but

634
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,239
Speaker 3: this is one of the worst pass rushes in the

635
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,640
Speaker 3: entire NFL in Carolina, and it's going up against a

636
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 3: great offensive line. So could it.

637
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 7: Because they got rid of all their pass rushers right

638
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 7: like when Josh Allen.

639
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 3: I know, as receivers haven't been separated, but when Josh

640
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 3: Allen drops back to pass, he should have all day.

641
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 3: And that is a dangerous scenario for this Panthers defense.

642
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 6: But their dbs are playing better in recent weeks too.

643
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 6: They're taking the ball away a little bit more.

644
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 3: This against terrible competition, it should be said.

645
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 4: Sure, but Buffalo's receivers aren't separating, right and.

646
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 6: Josh Allen it's kind of like we're seeing this a

647
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 6: little bit with a less great offensive line but with

648
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 6: still similar kind of stakes. Is like as justin Herbert

649
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 6: where it's like, Okay, all of this resigns now on,

650
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 6: Josh Allen, go do something cool, right, And that's what

651
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 6: kind of the story has been because yes, this Panther's

652
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 6: two headed running game, and not just their running game,

653
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 6: but the way that they were deploying some of their

654
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 6: screens to me, you do that on purpose a little

655
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:21,239
Speaker 6: bit to get that tape into Buffalo's heads a little bit.

656
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 6: Buffalo is not defending not just the run game will,

657
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 6: but also not defending second and third level stuff like

658
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 6: those screen passes when they start to get rolling, and

659
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 6: Chuba Hubbard was great on some of their screen design.

660
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 6: Could have picked up ten more yards on that long one.

661
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 6: He pulled down a lot of that. You shouldn't wait, Yeah,

662
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 6: you should not wait for your blocking. However you're blocking

663
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 6: probably needs to fast layer more inside faster the thing

664
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 6: that he could have a touchdown. The thing that's cool though,

665
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 6: is like, Okay, from you know, being in Carolina for

666
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 6: as long as I was, and then like man, the

667
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 6: last several years, this fan base who I think will

668
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 6: really show up for this game because they've got hope

669
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 6: and they and maybe more importantly than hope, They've got

670
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 6: a freaking run game. Yeah, for the first time in

671
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 6: a while. This fan base has been dying for a

672
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 6: run game. Since the prime days.

673
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 3: Of John Stewart Williams. It has been.

674
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 4: Rolling downhill on people.

675
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 6: And this is just so fun to know that, like, Okay,

676
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 6: if you can't have hope, you got something better. You

677
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 6: got a good run game. Beheen a two headed monster.

678
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 6: And I know they want to know who the starter is.

679
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 6: That's more fantasy football whatever, but like, this is cool.

680
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 6: This is potentially very very cool and stabilizing if you're

681
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 6: not really sure who your quarterback is going to be

682
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 6: or what they're going to do.

683
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:35,479
Speaker 2: Wow, the shadow John Fox hovering.

684
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 4: I think this does as he ever does.

685
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 1: Tuba was great in the in the past game and

686
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: I understand his utilization, but getting Rico the ball, thank you.

687
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: Against this Bill's team, especially, I'm thinking about the way

688
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: xavererly Get has been playing with him and Tartaroa out blocking.

689
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: It's just a rough matchup for a Bill's secondary that

690
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,719
Speaker 1: really gets like kind of exposed every single week, every

691
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: week making plays on the ball carrier. I think Carolina

692
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: should take whether it's Andy or Bryce, especially if it's

693
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: Andy or getting the ball in five's hands and letting

694
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: them do work.

695
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 3: In Dalton before that car accident last year, was playing

696
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 3: solid football. One of these years, this happens with these

697
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 3: backup quarterbacks that we just assume are the same forever.

698
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 3: At some point he will turn into a lesser version

699
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 3: of Andy Dalton. But frankly, we haven't really seen that,

700
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 3: like he was solid last year. I know, I know

701
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 3: you're talking about that if you want to, if.

702
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 2: You want to talk about seeing it, seeing it, Okay,

703
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 2: the Jets.

704
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe that ball is not coming out as crisp

705
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 3: but basing it on his twenty twenty four tape like

706
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 3: he was. He's now turned in. You know, we used

707
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 3: to do the Dalton scale on the show, which if

708
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 3: you have a guy above that now I would say

709
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 3: it's kind of the Dalton scale for backups. If you

710
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 3: don't have a backup better than Andy Dalton, you need

711
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 3: a new backup. But he is a good backup until

712
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 3: absolutely proven otherwise. And yeah, I'm curious. We mentioned a

713
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 3: lot on the show out coaches show their work after

714
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 3: the bye. Sean mcdermot's been excellent at that over the years,

715
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 3: diagnosing what's wrong with the team. So I am curious

716
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 3: to see what personnel changes, schematic changes do they blitzmart like,

717
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 3: what sort of changes he does on his defense? Leaning

718
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 3: on you know, Dan Walker, They're gonna have to Da

719
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 3: Kwon Jones, who's been solid for them, another former Panther

720
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 3: hurt his foot in practice on Monday and sounds like

721
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 3: he's going to be out for a few weeks, and

722
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 3: he is a big contributor for them.

723
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 1: You talked about the line and evaluating quarterbacks. What about

724
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: having to play against the Cleveland Browns in twenty twenty

725
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 1: five when they have been great on defense the offense. Eh,

726
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: they are at the New England Patriots. The Patriots and

727
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: Drake May who is all that matters? Favored by seven points,

728
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: the over under is forty and a half.

729
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 2: Chris Myers and Mark Zlrath on the call.

730
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: Hopefully with no audio issues for Chris Myers, as he's

731
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: been getting chased around by weird audio bugs in the

732
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 1: past three weeks.

733
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 2: Something I'll pick.

734
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 1: Paper really, Yeah, he sounded like he was calling the

735
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 1: game from a ten can in nineteen fifty five. Oh,

736
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 1: last week for like a quarter and a half, Greg, Yes,

737
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: how concerned are you about playing the Browns defense.

738
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 3: I am excited to watch it. I'm not playing them.

739
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 3: I think it's nice because I'm trying to I'm trying

740
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 3: to tell the Patriots fans in my life, like I

741
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 3: get it, and Drake May is all that matters. So

742
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 3: this season is beyond a huge success no matter how

743
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 3: it ends, as long as Drake May continues to show

744
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 3: that he's that guy and he has at a level

745
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 3: that I don't think anyone could expect. But you cannot

746
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 3: overstate how easy this schedule has been. Like I do

747
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 3: think as I get older, I don't know what it is.

748
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 3: I do think schedule really explains like more than we

749
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 3: want to talk about the NFL. Okay, right, it's it

750
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 3: really is on a week to week basis. Older, I

751
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 3: just mean though, like, no matter how much we think

752
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 3: schedule matters, you know, as I continue on this existence

753
00:33:55,080 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 3: on this rock scheduling, I just mean, like so much

754
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 3: like the Commanders, for instance, Like, yeah, their schedule's harder

755
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 3: than this season, Like so like a lot like the

756
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 3: AFC West, Oh they're coming back to the pack, Like

757
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 3: it's like, yeah, the Chargers schedule is harder this year,

758
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 3: Like so much is explained by that that I don't

759
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 3: think we can overrate it enough. And then this is

760
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 3: a week where you get to find out how good

761
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 3: that offensive line is. I have my doubts about the

762
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 3: left side, like Jered Wilson has been struggling a little bit.

763
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 3: Who's their left guard? So when the Patriots have the

764
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 3: ball like it is as good a test as ever.

765
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 3: And to my point, Aaron Shotts's numbers say that Patriots

766
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 3: have the single easiest schedule in the NFL since nineteen

767
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,840
Speaker 3: seventy nine. Wow, and that's evaluating how the teams have

768
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 3: looked through the first seven games as well.

769
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 5: I mean, think about that for all the years where

770
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 5: the AFC East was just Adams salute dog stuff, and

771
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 5: this is the easiest schedule.

772
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 2: Wow.

773
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 5: This is an intriguing game to me because this is

774
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 5: where I think Kevin Josh mccannon is your OC and

775
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 5: the way he can change things up week to week

776
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 5: with a different game plan. I think you're can to

777
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,439
Speaker 5: see a lot of quick passing games and they're gonna

778
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 5: make eyes chase and we don't. And we know that

779
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:04,800
Speaker 5: the Browns can chase tackle on the open field of

780
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 5: this and that, but some horizontal stuff to get him

781
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 5: chased early, because you know, see if they can get

782
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 5: him a little fatigued and then take some shots. I

783
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,359
Speaker 5: think we're going to see some of that action from

784
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 5: the pages. And that's where Drake May's fine if he

785
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 5: doesn't turn the ball over. I don't see why they

786
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 5: don't cover that seven because Cleveland can't score.

787
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 3: For Saver group has been better than anyone expected.

788
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 4: Drake May's more more than fine.

789
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 6: I'm not talking to you, Greg, because I know you

790
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,800
Speaker 6: know all of these numbers, because I don't lay awake

791
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 6: at night and scroll through next gen Drake May stats

792
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 6: and tape. But Drake May has the best, the highest

793
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 6: right now, the highest downfield passing passer rating in the

794
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 6: NFL right now. And so yes to your point, Steve,

795
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 6: move them side to side a little bit at first,

796
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 6: and then start taking shots, get some of the quick

797
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 6: passing game going, and then start just blowing the doors

798
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 6: off of this defense or trying to. Now, he's gonna

799
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 6: have a challenge getting protection long enough for that, especially

800
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 6: against Miles Garrett, because the left side, that's Will Campbell.

801
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 4: So now you're back in the game here.

802
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 6: Greg, Will Campbell's side, Miles Garrett is getting a lot

803
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,359
Speaker 6: of quick pressure. Will Campbell is giving up the ninth

804
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 6: most quick pressure in the league among left tackles right now.

805
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 5: Wow, I did not realize that her next gen Stony,

806
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 5: you'll do the Miles Garrett, I'm screening to death.

807
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, and just go ahead and do.

808
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 4: Some slip screen throw it far to the right.

809
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 3: It'd be nice that was Trevion Henderson in it, But

810
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 3: something tells me it's actually got to be Remandri and

811
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 3: Terrell Jennings.

812
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 5: Yeah.

813
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 1: Ray, we'll coming out just celebrating Torell Jennings hoisting up

814
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 1: the Cherel Jennings. Also, it's like the preseason I guess

815
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 1: just does not matter, especially for those in the in

816
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 1: the fantasy.

817
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:42,760
Speaker 2: Community, like it's it's it's time.

818
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: Uh, maybe we should uh be a little more skeptical

819
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 1: of the hope for Travion.

820
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 4: I believe Mark, that guy is so special.

821
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,839
Speaker 3: I believe. On the other side, like it's a good

822
00:36:54,880 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 3: test for the Patriots really built their defense around run defense,

823
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 3: and they really do look like a pretty good un defense.

824
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 3: And if you can stop Quinjohn Junkins, who when he

825
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 3: gets in the open field and forget about it.

826
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 5: Guy, I had no idea he had the type of

827
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 5: burst he has, I mean, his balance and his strength

828
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:14,360
Speaker 5: is crazy, but he look at this acceleration.

829
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,280
Speaker 3: People making business decisions at points in the hole against

830
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 3: Quincho dunkinsh because he he is so aggressive and he,

831
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 3: especially the Dolphins, delivers hits. But hell, like on that

832
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 3: field in Dublin against the Vikings, I mean, I I

833
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 3: love him, and yet that was the highlight of Dylan

834
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 3: Gabriel's three game career so far. Since then, my optimism

835
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 3: about Dylan Gabriel has been dimmed. Now last week was

836
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 3: a little bit of a weather game, but like they

837
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 3: had like one hundred and fifty yards against the Dolphins

838
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 3: late in the you know, midway through the fourth quarter.

839
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 3: He he needs to improve.

840
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 2: I think.

841
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 4: Very take from a very mature He is very.

842
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:56,839
Speaker 3: Lucky not to have about eight interceptions and I think

843
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:57,839
Speaker 3: he has none or one.

844
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,120
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, there's a couple of d ways to

845
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 1: take all the Wildcats snaps from quin Shawn Jukins. In

846
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 1: one way, it's like, yay, Junkins get the hands of

847
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 1: the ballplayer, but also like maybe they're taking the hands

848
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:11,400
Speaker 1: out of another particular player. But when I see quin

849
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 1: Shawn Jenkins. All I'll see is offensive genius from Chip

850
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 1: Kelly Man. Yeah, there it is in terms of a

851
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: football player.

852
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 3: In shout out, Shout out to, like these guys on

853
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 3: the defense that like Alex Right and Grant Delpit, like

854
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,879
Speaker 3: they're obviously Carson Schwestener who we've mentioned before, like man,

855
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 3: he's playing Maguire on the front, Like they have guys

856
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 3: who are just playing their hearts out, and that's not

857
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 3: always easy with a bad offense like that.

858
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 1: Let's go over to another team that maybe has a

859
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 1: chance to play their hearts out. It is the New

860
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 1: York Jets going on the road to take on the

861
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: now Joe Flacco lead Cincinnati Bengals, who are favored by

862
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 1: six and a half point. The over under is forty

863
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:55,399
Speaker 1: four and a half as we get an opportunity, Jordan

864
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:59,280
Speaker 1: to see what Joe Flacco can do for the second

865
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 1: consecutive You.

866
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 6: Know, I started writing these notes before last week, actually

867
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 6: knowing that some of the deck was going to be

868
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:09,360
Speaker 6: stacked against me in terms of just workload and schedule.

869
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:11,399
Speaker 4: So the first thing I forgot to delete it this week.

870
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 6: The first thing I've written down in this game slot depression,

871
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 6: and it was and tell the Flaco bump not anymore,

872
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:23,320
Speaker 6: and tell the Flaco bump hit Cincinnati. They have some hope,

873
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 6: They have a little hope if they can just manage maintain.

874
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 6: You rattled off some of their upcoming games, Cincinnati's upcoming games.

875
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:31,359
Speaker 4: Here in a previous show, Greg in.

876
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 6: Terms of like, if they can just hold on, if

877
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 6: they can get to six wins.

878
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:35,879
Speaker 3: Got to get to this, got to get this one.

879
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, by the time Joe Burrow gets back, this is

880
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 6: obviously a every game from here on out is a

881
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 6: bit of a desperation game for the New York Jets.

882
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 6: I don't really see them making changes at their coaching

883
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 6: staff or front office or anything like that.

884
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 4: Certainly at quarterback.

885
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, where there's a little drama unfolding earlier this

886
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 6: week apparently from the owners meetings.

887
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 2: Not apparently. I mean that was very uncool.

888
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:02,479
Speaker 5: I mean Woody Johnson coming out and taking a dump

889
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 5: on Justin Fields, you know, saying, oh, if we can

890
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 5: complete a pass, the rest of the team's getting better,

891
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 5: but our quarterback is terrible.

892
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 3: Fields' response, though, on Wednesday, was fascinating.

893
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 5: You pointed out, Yeah, I mean, he's a fade at

894
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,360
Speaker 5: their media relations team, Like, I didn't see if response

895
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 5: because I don't have social media. Nobody briefed me on

896
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:23,399
Speaker 5: the comments before I got up here.

897
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 2: And this is the New York media man. You you

898
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:26,919
Speaker 2: have to let him know what's coming.

899
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, the crazier thing is that he said he doesn't

900
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 3: know who's starting at quarterback and he's splitting reps with

901
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 3: Tyrod Taylor, and Tyrod might not be healthy. It sounds

902
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 3: like he has a knee injury and they consider him

903
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 3: day to day. So if you want to, would have

904
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 3: disasked specifically, cite why making those type of comments aren't

905
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 3: a great idea, like that could be your starting quarterback

906
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 3: justin fields this week.

907
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 5: It's just so uncol I mean, you pay the guy

908
00:40:56,719 --> 00:41:00,200
Speaker 5: thirty million dollars, you hired a coaching staff what you

909
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 5: hope can develop him, and you come out you're just

910
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 5: gonna You're just gonna deuce on him like that publicly.

911
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 5: You know this is where you say, you know, owners

912
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 5: don't meddle this. He meddled right now. Aaron Glenn is

913
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 5: in a real tight spot, Like I got to bench

914
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 5: the guy because my owner came out and said that

915
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:18,320
Speaker 5: he sucks.

916
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 3: I think he was ready to bench him anyways.

917
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, fine, fair might let him bench you well.

918
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 1: And also, you know, to in defense of the media

919
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:28,880
Speaker 1: relations folks, because we say it so many times with

920
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 1: being able to make these decisions, a lot of people's

921
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:34,880
Speaker 1: job is to keep their job, and so it's like,

922
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 1: how how aggressively do you want to tell Justin Fields

923
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 1: about this, considering the ultimate boss who has no issue

924
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 1: right terminating right or terminating the person above you, you know,

925
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 1: in that particular situation where it's everything's bad, everything's bad.

926
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 4: Depression.

927
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, like the run game is sneaky bad, Like they're

928
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:58,279
Speaker 3: twenty fifth or twenty sixth in rushing efficiency right now.

929
00:41:58,400 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 5: Well that's how we're saying Breetholl is in the block

930
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:02,919
Speaker 5: right because you know he can't you can't get anhing going.

931
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:04,880
Speaker 3: And the quiet thing is the defense. You know, if

932
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 3: they could have just combined one of the defense has

933
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 3: played well last week, I mean the last two weeks

934
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 3: they haven't given up more than thirteen points in two

935
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 3: straight games. But this will be a much bigger challenge. No,

936
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 3: Sauce Gardner, it sounds like in this game he's coming

937
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:21,759
Speaker 3: off a concussion. Garrett Wilson is very uncertain, So I

938
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:25,840
Speaker 3: think this is where you can absolutely crush Darren Muji

939
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 3: in this front office for showing up to this season

940
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:31,840
Speaker 3: with a receiver group like this, because does with Wilson

941
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 3: out like they have no chance Jamar.

942
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:37,320
Speaker 2: Chasell also get more than twenty three targets. Why not? Maybe?

943
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 2: Why not?

944
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 6: It's I thinks long as Joe Flacco can lift his

945
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:43,239
Speaker 6: arm above his head throw the.

946
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 1: Ball, well, I think the most important thing for Joe

947
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: Flacco is being able to put both of his hands

948
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 1: under center. And I can't believe that I didn't think

949
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,880
Speaker 1: about this initially because I was so skeptical of the idea,

950
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 1: but they they had. If you take out empty and

951
00:42:56,440 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 1: shotgun snows, Jake Browning just edged out Joe Burrow after

952
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 1: starting more games in terms of being under center. Yeah,

953
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 1: and already Joe Flacco has had more under center dropbacks

954
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 1: than Jake Browning. And you could see like the improvement

955
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 1: generally and the offensive line they're able to protect better.

956
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 2: Chase brown got loose.

957
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 1: He had his longest carry game and then seven plays

958
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 1: later he had his longest carry.

959
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:18,840
Speaker 2: Of the season.

960
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 1: Once again, like the football team seems to exist. The

961
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 1: defense is everything got.

962
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 3: In defense is not better. The defense is trash.

963
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 6: Jake Turner, the corner, is playing well. He's one of

964
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:30,879
Speaker 6: the bright spots on this Bengals defense. The corner who

965
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:33,399
Speaker 6: got demoted before the regular season began and then won

966
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 6: his job back.

967
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 4: He's playing really well.

968
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 3: He's playing great. But the defense is maybe the worst.

969
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:38,880
Speaker 3: I think it's the worst defense in the NFL, at

970
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:40,399
Speaker 3: least when Drey Andricks it's head of the field.

971
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 2: The Miami Dolphins, Dolphins, I would like to work Dolphins.

972
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 6: I love that point you made Patrick about being under

973
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:49,280
Speaker 6: center versus being in the gun or even in the pistol,

974
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:51,359
Speaker 6: which I love, But they don't really do that there.

975
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:55,399
Speaker 6: They do either mostly out of the gun. But when

976
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:57,759
Speaker 6: Jake Browning was playing well a couple of years ago,

977
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 6: Greg's glory days of his Jake brown love, where it

978
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:04,840
Speaker 6: first developed and blossomed, was he was. They were mixing

979
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 6: it up a little bit like that, and then they

980
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 6: moved him back in the gun the same way that

981
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 6: they've had Joe Burrow keeping so much of this offense

982
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 6: that doesn't necessarily work for every style of quarterback and

983
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:21,320
Speaker 6: for every experience level of quarterback. Even the most experienced

984
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,439
Speaker 6: quarterback currently in football right now? Who is playing for

985
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 6: the Cincinnati Bengals or second most or whatever. I don't

986
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 6: know how many years he's got on Aaron Rodgers, but

987
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 6: he's even saying, I'd rather play under center. Why is

988
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:36,440
Speaker 6: it that this is the change they make for Joe Flacco?

989
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:38,839
Speaker 6: But you can't make life easier on your backup knowing

990
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:41,720
Speaker 6: you have some gotta have it games coming up. Why

991
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 6: is any of this Like I love seeing this offense click,

992
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 6: I love seeing.

993
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:46,479
Speaker 4: The receivers get the ball.

994
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 6: Joe Flacco playing football is just fun, right, But why

995
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 6: is it taking this to change around what you're doing

996
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:57,799
Speaker 6: and make your offense a little bit easier on the quarterback?

997
00:44:58,480 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 4: You know, I just I don't understand you.

998
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:03,799
Speaker 3: They're a staff that kind of likes the quarterback to

999
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:04,720
Speaker 3: dominate a little.

1000
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 5: You know.

1001
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 3: That's just like they're yees their flow. They're just like

1002
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 3: they like they care a submissive you know. You know,

1003
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 3: different partners are different. Maybe a coaching staff that's just

1004
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 3: like kind of a submissive part is Joe Flacco is

1005
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 3: the only reason he came in. Yeah for a oh,

1006
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 3: I think he's just calling the plays out there. Hitting

1007
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:27,399
Speaker 3: Jamar Chase is calling the plays thank you.

1008
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:28,319
Speaker 4: I'm getting the ick.

1009
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 3: Speaking of the ick.

1010
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:32,880
Speaker 1: What about them twenty twenty five Miami Dolphins who are

1011
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 1: taking their show once again on the road. Uh, there's

1012
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:38,759
Speaker 1: hopefully they get the If there is rain, they'll they'll

1013
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:41,319
Speaker 1: close the roof of Mercedes been staying okay, taking on

1014
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:43,799
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons, who are favored by seven coming off

1015
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 1: the lost Steve forty four and a half the over

1016
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:48,879
Speaker 1: under the voice of God Kevin Harland as well as

1017
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:50,279
Speaker 1: Trent Green on the call.

1018
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 2: Are the Dolphins okay? No, no, they're not. At question,

1019
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 2: they're disaster. You know once to it came out and

1020
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,960
Speaker 2: said that it was over. It was over. I mean

1021
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 2: they may came out and compete.

1022
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 5: And that's why this is a cheeky game to me,

1023
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 5: because the Falcons game plan offensively was terrible against the

1024
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 5: forty nine ers. And you talk about how you love

1025
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:15,400
Speaker 5: the pistol. That's when the pistol gets you into trouble.

1026
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 5: When you're not creative, when you're not running Texas routes

1027
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:19,360
Speaker 5: with your running back against a team that's without its

1028
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:21,719
Speaker 5: starting linebacker, when you don't put any stress on your

1029
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:26,319
Speaker 5: weaknesses and you play right into sidelines hash marks and

1030
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:28,360
Speaker 5: things to give them an extra defender, So they're going

1031
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 5: to have to be more creative in their short passing game,

1032
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:36,239
Speaker 5: quick passing game against a terrible Dolphins defense. Atlanta's just

1033
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:38,799
Speaker 5: one of these teams where it is a week two

1034
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 5: week you can't get a feel of what they are Defensively,

1035
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:44,319
Speaker 5: they're a good football team and that's why they're gonna

1036
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:48,360
Speaker 5: win this football game because Dolphins offense is just non existent.

1037
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 2: It's an absolute mess.

1038
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 5: But I'm interested to see if Atlanta should come out

1039
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 5: and put up the big numbers as they should offensively.

1040
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 6: Darren Waller was their bet, was Miami's best offensive player,

1041
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:02,239
Speaker 6: and he's on injured reserve. Yeah, and I am mad

1042
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:06,000
Speaker 6: at Atlanta. I'm mad at the Falcons because it is

1043
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 6: exactly what you said. They come out two weeks ago

1044
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:13,799
Speaker 6: with an absolutely incredible game plan offensively that funnels the

1045
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 6: entire offense through one of the best football players on

1046
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 6: the planet right now, who can do everything, who did

1047
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 6: do everything in this game, and then just a few

1048
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:24,960
Speaker 6: days later they almost like put one hand behind his

1049
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 6: back because they're not giving him even and they were

1050
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 6: aligned with him to the side as well. And yes,

1051
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 6: they still run a lot of pistols had. They did

1052
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:37,239
Speaker 6: not give the same autonomy. They didn't attack the second level.

1053
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:39,040
Speaker 6: Part of what I loved about when they ran so

1054
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:41,480
Speaker 6: much out of the pistol two weeks ago was he

1055
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 6: was directly attacking the second level. Whether you could see

1056
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:47,719
Speaker 6: it obviously or not, every single movement and shift that

1057
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:50,560
Speaker 6: he's able to set up affects the middle of the defense,

1058
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 6: whether they're having to flow side to side or come

1059
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 6: and crash down. This was not the same stress points

1060
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:58,439
Speaker 6: that they put and they should have. And I don't

1061
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:01,760
Speaker 6: want to take anything away from Tatum Bathoon, who played awesome,

1062
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:05,359
Speaker 6: saw it well, read everything great, played it awesome, But

1063
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:08,479
Speaker 6: Atlanta is not stressing defense is enough in enough types

1064
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:11,839
Speaker 6: of ways. And that makes me annoyed because they are

1065
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 6: better than this and they know it and they're not

1066
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 6: doing it. I do.

1067
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:19,400
Speaker 3: I struggle with them, and I wonder if they're coaching

1068
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 3: around whatever Michael Pennox's limitations are and you.

1069
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 2: Know, not getting understood right.

1070
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 3: If you listen to collins Worth, it it's thrown over

1071
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:32,479
Speaker 3: the middle, and you know he's he's such a good

1072
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:36,920
Speaker 3: thrower to the perimeter, and that's a great skill to have.

1073
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:39,360
Speaker 3: But it doesn't really show up when you look at

1074
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:41,839
Speaker 3: this team. The baseline for Penix this year has been

1075
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,000
Speaker 3: a little lower than I would have expected in the

1076
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 3: passing game, Like they are a team where their quarterback

1077
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:50,000
Speaker 3: holds onto the ball quite a bit, but they don't

1078
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 3: push the ball down the field, which to me is

1079
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:55,920
Speaker 3: it's a frustrating combination to watch. For whatever reason that's happening.

1080
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 3: That's what the numbers tell you. That he's holding onto

1081
00:48:58,160 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 3: the ball a lot and it's not going. It's not

1082
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:02,240
Speaker 3: like they are bombs away deep type of offense.

1083
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:03,680
Speaker 1: Well, I think one of the questions that we had

1084
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:05,840
Speaker 1: last year was about play action, and we thought it

1085
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:08,040
Speaker 1: was related to the health of Kirk Cousins.

1086
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:08,759
Speaker 2: What did J. J.

1087
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:13,319
Speaker 1: McCarthy, Cooper Rush, Jake Browning, Marcus Mariota, I could go

1088
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 1: on and on have in common. Their completion percentage with

1089
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 1: play action is better than Michael Pennixt. They're actively not

1090
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:22,560
Speaker 1: running a whole lot of play action passes, and when

1091
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:25,840
Speaker 1: they do, they're not successful. And some folks have pointed

1092
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 1: directly that they've obviously pointed oddly enough at the pistol.

1093
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:32,239
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, that's exactly knock.

1094
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:35,320
Speaker 6: Actually, that's why that's part of the reason why, because

1095
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:37,839
Speaker 6: that's part of the reason why you run it so much,

1096
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:41,399
Speaker 6: because it gives the illusion. And now it's not doing

1097
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 6: that for them, let me be clear, but in theory,

1098
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 6: and it did this for the Rams a couple of

1099
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 6: years ago, when the quarterback didn't want to be turning

1100
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:49,360
Speaker 6: his back to the defense so much and wanted to

1101
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:52,000
Speaker 6: see everything in front of him. It gives the illusion

1102
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 6: that you still could get the play action game out

1103
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:57,520
Speaker 6: of that even though you're in sort of a more

1104
00:49:57,560 --> 00:49:58,240
Speaker 6: gun look.

1105
00:49:58,560 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 4: That's the thing.

1106
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:01,000
Speaker 6: You still are trying to to keep the run fakes

1107
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 6: available to you, but just moved backwards out of the

1108
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 6: stack of offensive linement so that the quarterback can see

1109
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:10,319
Speaker 6: everything in front of them, which then should lead to

1110
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:11,400
Speaker 6: a deeper.

1111
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 4: Downfield passing game, but is not in this case.

1112
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 6: So all of these things that we're talking about are

1113
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:18,040
Speaker 6: very much connected here, and it's all of them not

1114
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:20,239
Speaker 6: working the way that they should in theory or an

1115
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:21,839
Speaker 6: execution is what the falcons, well.

1116
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 2: Here's it.

1117
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:24,919
Speaker 5: Sometimes they do. That's the thing that they're hot and cold.

1118
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 5: Sometimes they look brilliant, sometimes they look terrible. Take a

1119
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:29,600
Speaker 5: page out of the Bengals book would they do with

1120
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:32,759
Speaker 5: Joe Flacco. I mean, no bullst off here. They must

1121
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:35,960
Speaker 5: have thrown eighty percent of their passes were slants. When

1122
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:38,640
Speaker 5: you're playing a team that is struggling in the middle

1123
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:40,960
Speaker 5: and you've got those receivers, you have, especially have two

1124
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,239
Speaker 5: big bodied guys slant in the death.

1125
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:44,960
Speaker 2: I owe them do whatever.

1126
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 3: Like my number one test of you know, do you

1127
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 3: have an effective quarterback? Like are you going to have

1128
00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 3: a long career as a quarterback? First of all? And

1129
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:54,880
Speaker 3: you are you have a good passing game, which is like,

1130
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:58,160
Speaker 3: are you good like you mentioned before, when you're not pressured,

1131
00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:01,160
Speaker 3: because almost any NFL quarterback can be good if he's

1132
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:03,560
Speaker 3: not pressured. And Panix does have some of the worst

1133
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:07,759
Speaker 3: numbers this year when not pressure, which does point back

1134
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:09,839
Speaker 3: a little bit to scheme because I don't think it's personnel. Now.

1135
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:12,000
Speaker 3: I know they don't have a right tackle, but overall

1136
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:14,319
Speaker 3: their pass protector is fine. Like it's in the middle,

1137
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:19,320
Speaker 3: it's absolutely fine. On the flip side, Mike McDaniel, like,

1138
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:22,239
Speaker 3: there's many cries for help that he's had, the fact

1139
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 3: that he said publicly that they played hard, but they're

1140
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:28,920
Speaker 3: not playing hard executing his assignments. Is the most insane

1141
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:31,719
Speaker 3: quote I've maybe ever heard from a coach in terms

1142
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 3: of just like I'm done, they don't listen to me.

1143
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 3: And you see that in the running game more than anything.

1144
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:40,239
Speaker 3: They are thirty first in the league in success rates,

1145
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:42,640
Speaker 3: the missed assignments. What you see from the offensive line

1146
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 3: is crazy. And that was supposed to be Mike McDaniel's thing.

1147
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:47,920
Speaker 3: Like run game coordinator Davon A. Chan pushes back at

1148
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:50,800
Speaker 3: your best offensive player, you know, so does Jalen Waddle?

1149
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:53,080
Speaker 3: Is Darren Waller like, because Devon Ahchan looks awesome this

1150
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 3: year and Jalen Waddle is like a good player, but like,

1151
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:58,160
Speaker 3: they can't figure out their running game at all.

1152
00:51:58,280 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 2: It is.

1153
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:02,000
Speaker 3: It is brutal to watch, you know what, You know,

1154
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:05,279
Speaker 3: it's not brutal. Breaking it up between the early games

1155
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:07,359
Speaker 3: and the lakes. That's it for the early game. It's

1156
00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:11,520
Speaker 3: a pretty light early slate. Seven games early. We're going

1157
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:15,680
Speaker 3: to talk about the late games and a really spicy

1158
00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:19,279
Speaker 3: Sunday night football game in our next one. Is it

1159
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:21,040
Speaker 3: just go right over to that show
