00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: Be Around the NFL Podcast wants the Giants to go

2
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:12,319
Speaker 1: all the way. Welcome to another edition of the Around

3
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: the NFL Podcast. My name is Dan Kansas. I'm joined

4
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: in the room that's filled with heroes, Mark Sesler, Chris Westling,

5
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 1: Greg ros A Thalt. What is up always? Hey, Dan's

6
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: calmed down with wanting the Giants to go off. We'll

7
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: never forget two seasons ago, I almost correctly predicted the

8
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: Giants and the Chargers to square off in the Super Bowl.

9
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 1: The Giants proceeded to go about three and thirteen with

10
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:41,840
Speaker 1: a human disaster known as Eli Manning Human Disaster. Well,

11
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 1: it seems like a nice field mess. Uh. Yes, we

12
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: all remember that Mark we have here. We are week

13
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: five already in like what's seventy two plus twenty four

14
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: ninety six hours or so, we will be on a

15
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 1: plane to London. But right now our mind is strictly

16
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 1: focused on the action ahead in week five. A little

17
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: later tonight, you're gonna get rams at Seahawks recap from

18
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 1: me and the sizzler um from handsas manner Um. I

19
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 1: believe my friend Bob demanded, if we're going to use

20
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: the throwback equipment for these late night hits that it

21
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: has to be called the throwback podcast Studio. I'm sure

22
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: it was hard to twist your arm within the first

23
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: minute of the show to get the name of your

24
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: other podcast in. And then it will happen another seven

25
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: or eight times on our separate Thursday night show as well. Well.

26
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 1: People are asking, whatever happened to the Heat in the

27
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: Light podcast? Where is your vanity project? We were split

28
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: apart by fate my my partner a it works at

29
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: a different company, and I mean that wasn't an NFL property.

30
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: It was before he left it. But the actual the

31
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: the the technology platform that we use to to do

32
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: it melted down. It was a startup of sorts and

33
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: it's stop starting up. So there went the show. But

34
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 1: you got to overcome those things. I'm sure there was

35
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: another startup that launched in its place. Yeah, it was

36
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: called Connor's Child. And like my two children becoming more,

37
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 1: you know, I don't I don't need, I don't need

38
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: a second project in the third project. I feel perfectly

39
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: happy with this one. More focus on this show. I

40
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: like that, all right, So yes, you got that going on. Uh,

41
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: but now we're going to focus on the rest of

42
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: the week five matchups and again um okay, thirty two

43
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: things doing those dames. I'm by those dames are previewed.

44
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: Tuesday twenty eight, teams divide by two four teen teams

45
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 1: to talk about games. Some bangers too good week about

46
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: bangers and some laster ones. But like the same man,

47
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: teams are concentrated in the same games. There as the

48
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: bye weeks get there's more teams will by next week

49
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: put the copins. They're on a bye so that's nice.

50
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: That's good. So we're gonna do a draft as we

51
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: do every week here, uh and Mark, we have gone

52
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: around the horn and back to you now with the

53
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: first overall pick. Don't Eric Fisher ittt Well, I was

54
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: you know, I was lamb based I for picking Jaguars

55
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: Broncos last week and it ended up being a fantastic game.

56
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna continue used to use my human senses

57
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: that completely ignore this mass think. I don't really care

58
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: what you guys think about my pick. My number one

59
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: pick is a showdown between two expansion teams from and

60
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: I could not be more excited to watch this matchup

61
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: between the Jaguars and the Carolina Panthers. Two quarterbacks that

62
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: I've been interested in. Two very resilient teams. I love.

63
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: Both of these clubs obviously lost their starting quarterbacks, and

64
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: you could have easily written off the Jaguars. You could

65
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: have written off the Panthers, who two weeks ago when

66
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: they got knocked off by the Buccaneers. We were watching

67
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: this at West's house. I thought the Panthers and their

68
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: coaching staff were could put But two weeks later, three

69
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: weeks later, they look good. And I cannot detached myself

70
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: from the experience of Gardner Minshew, but not just him

71
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: as the Jaguars quarterback, but really the way they won

72
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: that game in Denver on the road. I don't care

73
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: if the Broncos are oh and eight. That's a tough

74
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: place to go, assuming people still fill the stadium. They

75
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: were down seventeen to three, and the Broncos, in a

76
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,119
Speaker 1: game they were their season on the line, had set

77
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: the table seventeen to three against the Jaguars, had them

78
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 1: where they wanted him. The Jaguars were like over six

79
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 1: on third downs to open the game. They were, they

80
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: were five sacks on Gardner minshew is getting tossed and turned.

81
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: They come out of halftime after a big Joe Flacco

82
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: interception and absolutely ground the Broncos into dust. With Leonard

83
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: Fournette emerging from total a wall status. They tired out

84
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: that defense on the road, and it's set up Gardner

85
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: Minshew's final drive, and he did some things on that

86
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: on that drive and in other drives in that game

87
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 1: that our next level. He showed up at number one

88
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: on Daniel Jeremiah's rookie rankings so far. Dan, I know

89
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: that's not an article article you will read, but it

90
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: is an important article if you're tracking rookies. And I

91
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: cannot want to say, well, how Carolina is defense in

92
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 1: Carolina tries to deal with Gardner Minshew and if Leonard

93
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: four net can play the way he's still playing, And

94
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: on the other side of the ball, you have an

95
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: m VP candidate and Christian McCaffrey. So there's a lot

96
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: to like in this game. I think I don't know

97
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: how bad Jalen Ramsey's back injury here is, and I've

98
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,359
Speaker 1: been pretty quiet on the issue, but he's got a

99
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: loose face here. If he's healthy, he's wanted. He's embraced

100
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: by the organization. His teammates are coming through. They have

101
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 1: played exciting games the last two weeks. They're winning. Come on, man,

102
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: play football on a good team, come back and play football.

103
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: Should be noted that part of that come back against

104
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: the Jaguars last week by the Broncos was that Jalen

105
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: Ramsey's replacement was getting roasted in that game and had

106
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: a target on his back game and and yeah, maybe

107
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: this is a real back injury for Jalen Ramsey. But

108
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 1: I really like but I don't think it is. UM

109
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 1: And I I really like Shad Khan coming out on Wednesday,

110
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: uh the Jaguars own or telling the Associated Press that

111
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: it's the best thing for the Jaguars to hold onto

112
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey. I'm gonna read a little bit of his quote. Obviously,

113
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: football is a team sport, and I'm sensitive to what

114
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: individual inside or viewpoint or request there might be. But

115
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: we have to do the right thing for the team.

116
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: We value the value that Jalen adds to us, to

117
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. I think we value him highly. And we'll

118
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: see there is and we're gonna get to another player

119
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: a little bit later in the show. Um on the

120
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 1: vikings that is unhappy and looking to play his way

121
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: or not play his way out of town. And I

122
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: think if Jalen Ramsey is truly hurt, he's truly hurt.

123
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: If he's not, it's a disgrace that he's not playing

124
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: right now. And it's the word what kind of teammate

125
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: would do this? It's way on my radar, way on

126
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 1: my radar, and has been since day one. Every player

127
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: on some level plays through injuries, so maybe it's something

128
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: where you're not playing. Who knows. Even trying to guess

129
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: like his level of injury when it comes to back

130
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: is is tricky, But I think it was smart of shot.

131
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: There's a report that from Jason lacinfora that they turned

132
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: down two first round picks for Jalen Ramsey. So what's

133
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: the harm? And if you're Sean Conner, what's the rush

134
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: to the trade deadlines a month away? You're it's only

135
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: in in a world where this is still a problem

136
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: three weeks from now. You know the trade offers are

137
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: only going to get better and you don't have to

138
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: take them, but you can listen. I mean, if they

139
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: start getting really wild, maybe it becomes a Laramie tons

140
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: of situation where you have to take it, but they

141
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: need him this week because they're playing another good second

142
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: year quarterback. It came out of nowhere. Kyle Allen passes

143
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: the eye test. I think him and Gardner Minshew passed

144
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: the eye test. I think if they played their first

145
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: two games. You know, Kyle Allen's a second year player,

146
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: but if you know if Baker Mayfield or Sam Darnold

147
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: played like this for their first two games a year ago,

148
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: everyone would be going crazy. Kyle Allen, really, I think

149
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: has the tools and can make every throw, and he's

150
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: shown that he's had a fumbling problem that that needs

151
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: to be fixed. But I look at him and he

152
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: looks legit. It doesn't seem like a fluke. One of

153
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: those fumbles came off at g. J. Watt getting pushed

154
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: away from Kyle Allen, puts the arm out and does

155
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: something only J. J. Walt can do in almost any

156
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: quarterback would have lost the ball in that situation, but

157
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: that's the Minshew has also been extremely safe with the

158
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: football in it for Jaguars team. I mean, it's been

159
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: invaluable with while throwing in a few nice deep throws.

160
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: But this is the toughest game for him on the

161
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,599
Speaker 1: slate so far. Their fourth in the league in d

162
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 1: v O A past defense or something in that Carolina

163
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: sauce with between Buffalo and the Panthers, with that scheme

164
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: that they have, that they're better as a group than

165
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: they really are individually. Shack Thompson, their linebackers playing out

166
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: of his mind right now. Rivera's big move to suddenly

167
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: go to A three four after seven years is looking great.

168
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: They lose Kwan short for the year and they're still

169
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: playing fantastic. Vera will be coaching their seventies six years

170
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: from now. As an extremely old, big, big test for

171
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: Carolina secondary against DJ Chark, who has made the leap

172
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: and it's starting to give off Jordy Nelson vibes as

173
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: a boundary boundary receiver. Uh, let us move on. A

174
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: battle of windless teams in Cincinnati the Arizona CarH I

175
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: got caught up in the old style. But you know

176
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: what you reminded of us? How much how much better

177
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: this new style is. That's good. You should just should

178
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: just draft the Cardinals, Bengals. Who's who's next in the draft? Okay,

179
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 1: take the Recals, Cardinals. Okay, I'm not gonna I will

180
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: take the Buccaneers. See it a sucker suit for Greg

181
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: rosehal today by the way, heading to New Orleans. We

182
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: not have that conversation right now. I don't think it's

183
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: sear sucker see a initially, but it looks like that.

184
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 1: I'm not going to argue the point anymore. UM had

185
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: a German roommate when I lived in Hollywood ten years

186
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: ago that was auditioning for a role. He was an

187
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: aspiring actor and he was told by his manager, you

188
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: need to work on your American accent. And uh, He's like,

189
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: all right, okay, because it was very thick his German accent.

190
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: So he would go into his room for hours at

191
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 1: a time working on his accent, and Um, the day

192
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 1: before his big audition, he comes out of the room

193
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: after hours of studying and Uh, We're like you ready

194
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: for this and he's like yeah. He's like, uh, you

195
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 1: want to run the lines that you're gonna have to read?

196
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: And uh he's like okay, okay. And then the first

197
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: thing out of his mouth was yes, I'm here wearing

198
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: my seious socker suit. And we're like, oh that is

199
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: that does sound He sounds like a Midwestern man, So

200
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: we tried to let up. He told me he was great,

201
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:58,439
Speaker 1: get a very nice guy. I liked him. He did

202
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: not get the role. That's the that's the Hollywood wade

203
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 1: people telling you that they're great, You're great, And I

204
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 1: don't know why that's the way. Why is he precluding

205
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: until you're like like a ten out of ten mail looks?

206
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:13,839
Speaker 1: Why are you getting that role? He was? He was

207
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: a very good looking guy and he was the role.

208
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 1: Is this a man who walked around telling people about

209
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: his suit? The point was we could have been honest,

210
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: but like, that's terrible, but there was nothing he was

211
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: gonna be able to do. He was going to go

212
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: to at that point in the morning. Yeah, you don't

213
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: want to he was gonna build him up, bail on

214
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 1: the audition, and then go back to journey, which is

215
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,319
Speaker 1: what eventually hard lessons in Hollywood. All right, Well, Gregg's

216
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: wearing a Sierra soccer suit. You know, speaking of overseas,

217
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers are going to be headed to London next

218
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: week with us and we're gonna be watching the Battle

219
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: of First Place. After Kyle Allen, you know, ends minshu

220
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 1: Mania and after Jamis Winston goes to New Orleans, UH

221
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: and gets a nice little road upset in a game

222
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: where I don't think either team is gonna be able

223
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: to run the ball very much. The Buccaneers have the

224
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: best run defense in the league right now, two point

225
00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: nine yards for time. You can just see it when

226
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: when you see their front line, they're gonna be tough

227
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: to run against. Which passing game do you trust more?

228
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: It's weird to trust Jamis Winston, but I'm taking the

229
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 1: guy with Chris Godwin and Mike Evans both on pace

230
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: for over four hundred and fifty yards right now, and

231
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: I'm not trusting Saints offense that has been under three

232
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: hundred yards three straight weeks. You can't keep winning games

233
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: like that. I like the Bucks. I rewatched the Saints

234
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: Cowboys and had a really appreciation for how good the

235
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: Cowboys defense was and how Bridgewater through better than I expected.

236
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: He threw pretty well, his ball placement was good, and

237
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 1: it's tough to win in New Orleans. I've picked against

238
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: him two weeks in a row, and I'm not the

239
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: one of the third week. I wrote Upset Special at

240
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: the top of this because after watching the Bucks against

241
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: the Rams and it wasn't perfect, I thought Chris Godwin

242
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: produced one of the better wide receiver showings of the

243
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: entire year. I think he can do everything, and Bruce

244
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: arians talked him up in Fantasy heads went nuts over him,

245
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: and it's one of the time is when it's actually

246
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: it played out against the Rams entirely the Saints front

247
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: seven is their line is so nasty. I don't think

248
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: that you even try to run. The Bucks remind me

249
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:11,839
Speaker 1: a little bit of when we talk about like an

250
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: air raid type attack. They were doing some of that

251
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: against l A, like to the point where I don't

252
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: want to. I'm not gonna call the Cardinals air raid

253
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: over what the Bucks do when they go all out

254
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 1: with their passing game and they've got better weapons than

255
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: almost any team in the league. When you want to

256
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,719
Speaker 1: go wide receiver wide and when when they need a run,

257
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones looking pretty good. You know he's making he's

258
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: making people miss. Yeah, played the two thousand seventeen Offensive

259
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 1: Player of the Year and last week's game. Do you

260
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: guys think about Teddy Bridgewater so far? Yeah? Yeah, I

261
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 1: think he was I think he was better last week.

262
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: But here's the reality. Yes, he he did his job.

263
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: He's a really good back. He's a really good backup. Quarterback.

264
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: I don't think he has the same feel for the

265
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,839
Speaker 1: position that he had when he was in Minnesota. To me,

266
00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: that was his best quality. Um kind of is inn eate.

267
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,959
Speaker 1: Nowhere to go with the ball, feel in the pocket,

268
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: feel a pressure around him. He doesn't have that right now,

269
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: like a like a late career Alex Smith at his

270
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: best and I and I don't think that he has

271
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: that right now. I mean every quarterback sacrificing something in

272
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: some way, and he's sacrificing scrambling ability and trying to

273
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: make plays. If you see the quotes he's given, you

274
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: know they're onegrees different than than what he was saying

275
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: in Minnesota. He's saying, now I've learned that I can't scramble,

276
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: I can't try to make plays. I just have to

277
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: take what the defense gives me. And he's playing with

278
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: he just I think he's still getting used to who

279
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: he is now. They were They had one play over

280
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: ten yards that wasn't to Michael Thomas, and that was

281
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: a screen pass. Right. I feel like Michael Thomas like

282
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: his value decreases in a Teddy Bridgewater offense compared to

283
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: when Breeze is in there. Just maybe it's a chemistry thing,

284
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: but it's Alvin Kamara catching fifteen or fifteen targets a

285
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: game in the screen game and I and I just

286
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: don't want to go against Jack Barrett right now because

287
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: what he's doing, maybe it's just it's gonna end. Like

288
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: Mark said, he's definitely to get to ten sex, he's

289
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: gonna have a good year. But the three game run

290
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: he's had to follow up a three SAT game and

291
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: then a four SAT game and maybe have your best

292
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: game after that where you forced three turnovers in a

293
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: win is just outrageous. What he's doing right now, and

294
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: what what box scores don't show you. He's doing things

295
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: like Brandon Cooks is wide open and Jared Golf misses

296
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: him by three feet because Shaq Barrett forces him into

297
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: a bad throw. These are the things that Shack Barrett's

298
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: doing every week. The big question for me for the

299
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: Bucks is the protection was so good last week out

300
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: of nowhere, and you almost never see Jamis Winston a

301
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: protection like that. When he has protection like that, he's

302
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: like a nineteen seventies style Darryl Lamonica back there and

303
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: he's fun to watch, and that just never happens and

304
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: If that starts happening with more regularity, then Bruce arians

305
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: is gonna be flying. He's gonna be loving his job.

306
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: It's in a very interesting offense, especially if they get

307
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: help from the running game, which they have been. They

308
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: enter this game right tenth tenth in the League of offense,

309
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: uh fifth and path sing And we talked about a

310
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: little bit last week. Chris Godwin has stepped up. He

311
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: is a legit potential star for them. We know with

312
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: Mike Evans, and if this Winston thinks sticks, they could

313
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: be a top ten offense this year. It could have

314
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: happened what they could happen parts. I don't know why

315
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: you don't move Peyton Barbered to a much lower role

316
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: if Ronald Jones is playing the way he is. But

317
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: that's been going on week after week, and I'm a

318
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: little rivalry here. Bucks have gotten the better of Sean

319
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: Payton randomly over the years, but that does not mean

320
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: anything with a new coach. This is the perfect Winston

321
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: come down game. Though. This is the three interception pick

322
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: six come down game in the past, so was the

323
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: Rams game, not that he was up before that. Yeah,

324
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: but he's put together a couple of games and another

325
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: pass have been picked. Yeah, he's gonna give them, He's

326
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: gonna makena together. Yeah, he'll always be a bit of

327
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: a bit of a high wire act. But can he

328
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: give put together three really good games in a row

329
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: this early in the season. There's a lot of reason

330
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: to do it for sky Sports? All right, Yes, do

331
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: it for sky Sports. That's the rallying cry that Tampa

332
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: Bay will just saying. Panthers Bucks game looked like it

333
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: might have been a dog. It might be two three

334
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: and two teams all right with a third overall pick. Um.

335
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 1: Not too many late games today, huh this week? Not

336
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: too many. Better take one off the board here and

337
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 1: I'll grab a good one. Packers at Cowboys wasn't getting

338
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: to me, never would be. And um, yeah, there's no way, Uh,

339
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: you can't look at this game and get excited about

340
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 1: it because the Cowboys are coming off a bit of

341
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: a humbling Sunday night loss. But nothing to get two

342
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: worked up about. I think I think they went into

343
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: a very difficult environment on the road in primetime against

344
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: the New Orleans defense that is very good, and you know,

345
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: sometimes you get beat and that's what happened to this game.

346
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 1: So I still believe in the ceiling of the Cowboys

347
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 1: offense and their abilities, and now they get a Packers

348
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,199
Speaker 1: defense that, like the Cowboys last week a little bit

349
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,199
Speaker 1: of a humbling performance, with the Eagles able to do

350
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: some things against them that we hadn't seen that against

351
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: the Packers yet. Um. So, now you have two teams

352
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 1: coming off disappointing losses that I think are near the

353
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: top of their conference. UH in what should be a

354
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: very good close game. I'm having a hard time figuring

355
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: out how the Packers score points in this one. As

356
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 1: well as the Cowboys played defense last week, and as

357
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: well as Robert Quinn is playing adoring adding a new

358
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: element to their defense that wasn't there last year, and

359
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: Davante Adams isn't practicing. It's not a good injury either

360
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 1: to turf toe is something that can linger for weeks.

361
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: Where are the playmakers on the Packers offense outside of

362
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 1: the quarterback, I'd be I'd be very worried. I don't

363
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: necessarily see that this UH is gonna be a close

364
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 1: game because because of that UH, and because I think

365
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have more answers. It's the best play in

366
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,159
Speaker 1: the Packers offense is Aaron Rodgers improvising and you might

367
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: not have Jamal Williams either, which is I think a sneaky,

368
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 1: you know, big factor just because they'd like to run

369
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: the ball. And now you're just down to Aaron Joe.

370
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: If there was life to green Bay in that Eagles

371
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: game early and they got up thirteen and seven, they

372
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: were up tending nothing, it was big plays to Davante Adam.

373
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 1: So if he's out, I mean, what are you gonna

374
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: is it? Geronimo Allison, we're counting on to do that.

375
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 1: For Dallas, I like, I don't worry about the Saints

376
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: game because I think that that defense is going to

377
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 1: do that two teams multiple times, that Saints defense this year.

378
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: But Dallas obviously mopped up the Redskins and Dolphins. They

379
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: and and they beat the Giant. There was a lot

380
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: of excitement around what was going on. This is a

381
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: good test Saints into green Bay. I don't think green

382
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: Bay's defense. Eagles got a little frisky on the ground

383
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: against green Bay's defense late in the last game. But

384
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: to me, Dallas, I am not panicking over the Saints

385
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,679
Speaker 1: loss at all. I still think what Kellen Moore is

386
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,959
Speaker 1: doing is great for so many players in that offense.

387
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: Zeke Elliott, though, you know, this is not running around

388
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: him and circling around him the way it did in

389
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,640
Speaker 1: past years. He had thirty four yards. It was they

390
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: faced their first the defense that wasn't a bottom five defense,

391
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,439
Speaker 1: and they had, you know, a d D performance a

392
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: couple of it his fumbles. But I didn't like what

393
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: I sawt of Kellen Moore running so much and insisting

394
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: too on early downs. There wasn't a lot of play action.

395
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 1: You didn't see some of the same creativity. And they

396
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 1: won't be without Tyranne Smith in this game very likely.

397
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: And Lyle Collins, who's having in all pro type of

398
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: season at right tackle, is expected to play but hasn't

399
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 1: practiced at all yet this week. So that's two guys

400
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: are one one left tackle you're missing, the other one's hurt,

401
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: and you're going up against a very good front. I

402
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 1: don't know if that was just a one game blip

403
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: for the Packers defense. I think they just kind of

404
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 1: face the game plan that had their number go ahead.

405
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: I would say if Kellen Moore watches, you know, the

406
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 1: Eagles game, he's gonna see Okay. I gotta get the

407
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 1: ball into Zeke and Pollard's hands as receivers more often

408
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: because the Packers they have bad middle linebacker play when

409
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: it comes to the passing game. And you saw that

410
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 1: with guys like Jordan Howard, one of the worst receiving

411
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 1: backs in the league, they had no answer for him

412
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 1: in the passing game. Zeke has been underutilized in the

413
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: passing game. I don't think he's gonna watch the eagle scheme.

414
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: My guests would be that he'd probably just say, you know,

415
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 1: we're good operations. We're fine, Mike, Mike, get your boy

416
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: Michael Gallo back this week to a little earlier than expected.

417
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: It doesn't seem like a good accommodation. Zeke, who has

418
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: the NFL record for most rushing yards per game against

419
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: an individual team, against the Packers is average a hundred

420
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: and thirty three yards. Packers run defense is giving up

421
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 1: five yards a carry right now. Um, yeah, I eat

422
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: up last week, Like you know, I gotta say, I'm

423
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: off to almost historic ohen four start with wes um

424
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,479
Speaker 1: our friend, um who runs these matters. Let us know

425
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: that Mark, you went oh and five to start a

426
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 1: season a couple of years ago. And you came back.

427
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: I'll let you. I'll say it always before you do.

428
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: You came back, and I believe one that year. I think,

429
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 1: oh and five, it's in the NFL. Oh and five,

430
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 1: you're cooked in lock battle. Oh and five. So I

431
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: gotta get I gotta get going. And I was was

432
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: leaning towards picking a winless team um as my lock,

433
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: which is just shows how lost in the woods I

434
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,160
Speaker 1: am right now. But what I'm gonna do at they're

435
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:01,959
Speaker 1: all this great conversation we just had. I'm gonna lock

436
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: up the cowboys at home and have them take me

437
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: back into contention. Let's go, Zeke, I want to buck

438
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: and you know what, to West's point, give me sixty

439
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: seven yards in a touch through the air one of

440
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: those monster Z games, and the cowboys roll. You know what.

441
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: Let's tell men, Louise this thing, bash it out, bro,

442
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,919
Speaker 1: let's do it, Bom. I need to get off the

443
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: schnide and this whole let's go. It's in my head too.

444
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,679
Speaker 1: I'm changing up my routines every week. Now. I have

445
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: no idea what's going on. Let's go. I don't have

446
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 1: a good feeling for you guys at all I had

447
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: I had this as a blood too. I don't know

448
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,919
Speaker 1: why I didn't think of it. I didn't even need

449
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 1: to think about these Aaron Rodgers to enemy territory. All right,

450
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: Here we go up next Chris Westling and that Hey, Ricky,

451
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: did you get that snake drop we talked about? Yeah

452
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: you did? Ready? Oh she didn't know. I'm about to

453
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: hit it right now. You should do it after my

454
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: first game and before my stad game. That's when, Okay,

455
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 1: it just points me and I'll hit it. Didn't she

456
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 1: didn't even think about it for one. Yeah, it's right here.

457
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: I have five different versions. I have my suspicions about

458
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: what's happening here, but I won't say anything until it occurs.

459
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,959
Speaker 1: Wes you. For my first game, I am choosing the

460
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens at the Pittsburgh Steelers. Nice choice, nice, nice value,

461
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: grass field, Midwest. It's all my qualification, the only qualification.

462
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 1: I mean, they do not consider themselves part of the Midwest.

463
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 1: But that's we'll give it to you. But it's in

464
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: the western part of Pennsylvania. Alright, what about what about

465
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: the game? Well, I I hesitated to say much about

466
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: this because, um, he's a legend and I wanted him

467
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: to go to the Hall of Fame. But Earl Thomas

468
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 1: is slow now, and I hope he's playing through an injury,

469
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: but he is one of the slowest safeties in the

470
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 1: league now. He did break his leg last year, right,

471
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: that's how the season ended. Maybe he's still getting back.

472
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 1: But um, the Ravens are one of the worst defenses

473
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: in the league at yards after catch, and it's because

474
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 1: their safety play isn't very good and their inside linebacker

475
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: play isn't very good. I had to triple check myself

476
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: because it is Earl Thomas. But when you see him

477
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: lose the angle a couple of times when he should

478
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: have the angle against the Browns, go back and watch

479
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: Week three against Darryl Williams, who, in my notes I

480
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: have written down is one of the slowest running backs

481
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Earl Thomas lost the angle on him

482
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 1: and was out run by Darryl Williams. I think, if

483
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: I'm a Ravens fan, I have a hard time watching

484
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: this djens right now. Not not only that, but when

485
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,360
Speaker 1: John Harbaugh is saying this week, a lot of our

486
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 1: problems is about guys not carrying out assignments, I think

487
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: he's talking about Tony Jefferson and Earl Thomas, two safeties

488
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 1: who have made a great career. Jefferson is obviously nowhere

489
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,719
Speaker 1: in Earl Thomas's class. Great careers out of big plays

490
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 1: by using their instincts. And I think they're both liable

491
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: to free ants a little bit. And they're both slower

492
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: than they used to be. There was a line which

493
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: would trouble me if I'm a Ravens fan. Uh in

494
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Sun this week that said, or in one

495
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 1: of the Seattle papers this week rather that said, Earl

496
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 1: Thomas can still run very fast in a straight line,

497
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: but turning around uh and making cuts like it's pretty

498
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: slow doing it, Well, that's kind of problematic in the

499
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 1: game of football. I beg to differ that you can

500
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,400
Speaker 1: still run very fast in a straight line. I just

501
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,159
Speaker 1: I don't see it um. And I think they have

502
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: had miscommunications. Who was calling the defense the last few years,

503
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: Eric Weddle, he's gone. Earl Thomas comes in to call

504
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: the defense and he hasn't been there. That said, are

505
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: the Steelers? I feel like the Ravens might be an

506
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 1: offense first team now, But are there de dealers built

507
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 1: to win a game that you score a lot of

508
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: points in. To me, they're coaching around right now their

509
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: quarterback and how many weeks in a row can you

510
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: do that? The Ravens wrote the book on that last

511
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: year year in terms of not requiring a ton of

512
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,200
Speaker 1: throws to the outside, but they're at far advanced than

513
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: that this year, and I would take them in a

514
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: shootout type of scenario. The I would say one thing

515
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 1: that coming out of that Ravens Browns game, watching it

516
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: a second time, I think we learned more about the

517
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 1: Ravens than the Browns, and more about Baltimore's defense. They

518
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 1: were schemed well against with pulling guards and centers and

519
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 1: the big plays. And you guys mentioned that, you know,

520
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 1: it was all big plays for the Browns. I thought

521
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 1: that came though, by Cleveland beating them up over and

522
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 1: over to create the big plays. For sudden, You've got

523
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 1: Earl Thomas chasing Nick Chubb down the field. And when

524
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 1: I looked at Baltimore's offense, they got in Lamar Jackson's head.

525
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: They got to Lamar Jackson. And if the Steelers can

526
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: do that with one of the best pass rushes in

527
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: the league, Lamar Jackson at thirty four yards at halftime

528
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: in that game, they were not I thought he played

529
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: pretty well up with good numbers, but a lot of

530
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 1: that came with with them down by a pile of points.

531
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 1: I got blitzed and he didn't have many answers for it.

532
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: This is a for Lamar Jackson because yes, he looked

533
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,679
Speaker 1: like the new Mahomes the first two weeks against some

534
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,719
Speaker 1: of the word teams in football. Last two weeks has

535
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: come down there field. He's come down to earth a

536
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: little bit, greg I do, but I think he played

537
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: just as well last week ause he did Week two

538
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 1: against Arizona. Didn't there He just felt like he wasn't

539
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,159
Speaker 1: the most important part of that. They were. They were

540
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: winning up. Their defense was terrible. If they have to

541
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 1: score thirty points a week, they're not built for that.

542
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 1: Like this is a problem for the Ravens away there built.

543
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 1: They thought they needed to be like a top twelve offense,

544
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: top fifteen and have their defense carried them. They can't

545
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: expect them to score thirty points a week. I thought

546
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: the Steelers defense played well too, and I'm not I'm

547
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,400
Speaker 1: not thinking that Lamar Jackson's going going to score thirty

548
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: every week. I think teams are gonna start watching what

549
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 1: what say the Browns did against him? The one good

550
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: thing is they have great tackle play the Ravens maybe

551
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 1: the best tackle duo in the league that can help

552
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: shut down T J. Watt. But the Steelers get a

553
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: lot of pressure up the middle too. All right, it's

554
00:27:54,280 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: time to snake. Oh gross, I know, I was in

555
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 1: our library so weird. I thought that was Dan. It

556
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 1: sounded like it. Can you do it again with the

557
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,120
Speaker 1: camera on you? Um no, the camera's broken back here,

558
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 1: I see it right now. No it's broken. No, no, no,

559
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: it's function at the full screen. Go ahead. Oh okay,

560
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:25,679
Speaker 1: let me just hit this real quick. She didn't prepare, prepare,

561
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: She just she didn't make a note of it. And

562
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 1: I will say, she's so busy now with all our

563
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:35,360
Speaker 1: other programming. You know their fantasy lineup is set? Yeah

564
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: it is. I mean, I mean, you have you do

565
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 1: inadequate snake sound tweeting the show right now so your

566
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: fans can listen. I'm doing three thousand things at once,

567
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: and I downloaded a really cool snake drop. I'm sorry

568
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 1: you don't like it. That's not my problem. Feuds of

569
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 1: Adam Rank on Twitter. You got all that lockdown? I

570
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: want my snake dropped on. That's the one that we

571
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: had in our sound All right, West, you're he'll be

572
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: working at it at m VP's wedding this week or

573
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: perhaps in Lisbon. Happy she doesn't get wrapped up at

574
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: Emma was happy enough. How do I fit two weeks

575
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: of luggage and a carry on? She tweets last night

576
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 1: at some point, so you know, different concerns than some.

577
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pick the other four o'clock game since there

578
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: are only two of them. Smart West, you know how

579
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: to play the game? Isn't know how to play? Or

580
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: I was thinking, why picked the four o'clock game? Now

581
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: I can just watch whatever I want at four o'clock. Whatever.

582
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: You have different priorities than me. I like to be

583
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 1: able to pay attention to my game so I can

584
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: give people what I saw on the recap show Bell

585
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 1: watching four shows. I'm gonna watch the same game that

586
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 1: I wanted at four o'clock, whether I choose it or not.

587
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: Like Sundays, a work day for me, not an enjoyment day.

588
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: I'm putting, I'm punching the clock, coming in and watching

589
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: football so I can give the people with it on

590
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: the hard hat. I mean, you know, flock a field

591
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 1: of strawman being raised up. Punching the clock a good

592
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: way to put it. West, You're punching the clock. Absolutely

593
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 1: blue collar worker. I know, a punch in the clock.

594
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: Meet you punch in, and then after twelve hours and

595
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: probably sixty hours and overtime, you punch out. You go.

596
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: I mean your figure family, Creig, that's what a blue

597
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: collar worker does. Your punch's hands. That's right. I'm popping

598
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 1: in a couple of hours early. People should tune into

599
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 1: game debut live at UH. He turned into a plug

600
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: eleven thirties through is so ultra tree. I want to

601
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: watch um a guy who is now rivaling Alvin Camara

602
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: is the best receiving back in the NFL, Austin Ekeler

603
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: in this game, he is so good. And we get

604
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 1: a little Melvin Gordon this week too. But I want

605
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: to watch that, and I want to watch for how

606
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 1: many people cannot resist talking about Joe Flacco in the

607
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 1: twelfth raded Broncos offense when they should be talking about

608
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,479
Speaker 1: the seventh raded defense that could not get off the

609
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: field for eleven minutes against Gardner and Shoe on one drive.

610
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: The defense is the problem in Denver. These two these

611
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 1: teams are similar. The Chargers defense is stunk. The Broncos

612
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: defense has stunk. The Chargers defense. No one's noticed because

613
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: they've played terrible teams a lot of times. Your defensive

614
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: rankings are basically just the ranking of who have you've played,

615
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 1: And I think that's the case with the Chargers. So

616
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: I think the Broncos can move the ball up and

617
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: down the field in this game, that there might be

618
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: this might be some a decent amount of scoring. Problem

619
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: is they kick a lot of field goals when they

620
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: need to score six downs. That it is a problem.

621
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: And no Melvin Ingram, I believe who's out like a

622
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 1: month from the Chargers. They are starting people. There's a

623
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: guy starting at safety and undrafted free agent named hold

624
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: On Roderick teamer now starting from the Los Angeles just

625
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 1: in the Chargers defense. They've had a ton of injuries,

626
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: especially on defense, and that's that's part of the reason

627
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: they've they've struggled. But I don't I don't look at

628
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 1: them as a team that has any gimmes if they're

629
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: If Chargers fans are kind of looking at this and

630
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: just checking it off. I know they're big favorites. There

631
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: are two they're one of the worst two and two

632
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 1: teams just in terms of how they've played so far.

633
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: I would hate I'd hate to be I don't want

634
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: to play an OH and four team at this point

635
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: in the season no matter what. And let like the

636
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: Broncos are different to me a little bit then that

637
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 1: I know everyone is like, this is the new Dolphins. Oh,

638
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: the redskins of the new Dolphins. Oh the Broncos. They're

639
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: they're tanking, not well, they're not like they're just a

640
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: bad football team. Right now that that's incomplete, I don't

641
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 1: I don't love the matchup for Los Angeles at all

642
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: at all, but I would look at someone like Philip Rivers,

643
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: who is playing awesome right now. Austin Ekeler has been awesome,

644
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen has been awesome. They've not gotten the pass rush,

645
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 1: but they still have like their key star players playing

646
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 1: very well. And if you can't take they should have

647
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 1: beaten the Lions, they'd be three and one and we'd

648
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: feel a little bit differently about them. They have been

649
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: uninspiring and there have been people tweeting us, why don't

650
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: you guys talk about the Chargers. We've talked about them

651
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 1: plenty in the past. They just have seemed a little

652
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 1: off the radar this time and they need that signature

653
00:32:55,840 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: and they get for all the jokes we've made about it.

654
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 1: They just need offensive weapons, and he adds one. Unfortunately,

655
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 1: probably will you know, have to take Austin Ekeler off

656
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: the field, which is a problem. Eckler's fifth in the

657
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 1: league in yards. But even he can they can use them.

658
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 1: They can use them together. And even if Gordon is

659
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 1: playing thirty snaps and Ekeler is playing thirty five or forty,

660
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: and I think that might be the type of split

661
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 1: we see that still adds juice to an offense that

662
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 1: has been really good and adding another weapon. They they

663
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 1: need to be an offense first team. That's that's the

664
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: biggest challenge right now for the Chargers in terms of

665
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: their offensive philosophies. Eckler has become one of the best

666
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 1: all around running backs in football. It wouldn't be right,

667
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: like Mark you're saying, it would't be right to remove

668
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: him from the game plan. But Gordon before he disappeared,

669
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: when he's been right he's been at a similar level

670
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: in terms of productivity. So you just got to find

671
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:50,959
Speaker 1: a way to balance that or is there a possibility

672
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: and let me know if it doesn't make sense for

673
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: whatever reason contractually, Uh, maybe you move Melvin Gordon before

674
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: the deadline in three weeks? Why not? Just what did

675
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: he have you? I don't you gotta give him a contract?

676
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:04,479
Speaker 1: But why why I not just do what you did

677
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 1: last year? And before Melvin Gordon got hurt, they were

678
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:08,799
Speaker 1: averaging two hundred yards a game between the two of them.

679
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: They were the best duo in the NFL, and he

680
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: was using them correctly. We don't know we're gonna get

681
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 1: out of Melvin Gordon right away. Un right hand, Henry's

682
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 1: back on the field, but he's not returning yet. I mean,

683
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 1: they have some they've had so many injuries, like they

684
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 1: can't I feel like they can't trade away any talent.

685
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 1: Then that then Eckler get hurt and suddenly you know

686
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 1: starting trying. I suppose, yes, they they are great one

687
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,760
Speaker 1: to tandem, but Eckler had had been able to prove

688
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: that he can do it as the lead guy. And

689
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 1: that's I guess that's just part of team sports. So

690
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 1: we'll see this West. The Broncos defense in the first

691
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: half against Jacksonville looked like what we thought we would

692
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 1: get all season. They just have to If they had

693
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: done that for the full game, we would say they're back,

694
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,839
Speaker 1: they're ready to go. That was their last stand game,

695
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: and you can see what the emotion they were playing

696
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 1: with that that they were They wanted an orange crushed

697
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 1: day and they were feeling themselves. And then Gardner min

698
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,319
Speaker 1: she took it eleven minutes and they were never the

699
00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,839
Speaker 1: same without Bradley, though, you get a nice home game

700
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: in l A this week if you're a Broncos fan.

701
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 1: So that's, by the way, by West's logic, which I

702
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: think is good, the last stand game. If you lose

703
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 1: your last stand game, there's no way you win the

704
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 1: next week. Okay, there's no way. They they seem like

705
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 1: you're saying they want no dignity and dignity Health Sports

706
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 1: Park this week. No. No, I mean if that, if

707
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,479
Speaker 1: that theory holds, West, if you lose the last stand game,

708
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 1: you have to come out flat and dead, which makes

709
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: this a lockable game. If you could look in the

710
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: mirror now, I wouldn't be able to look in the

711
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:31,839
Speaker 1: mirror two and two or so and four. But if

712
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 1: anybody else can see a reflection or Greg on his

713
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 1: own rules, UM, I think it would just narrowly sneak

714
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 1: under the my rules. But it is not my lock.

715
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,919
Speaker 1: I've soft locked the Seahawks, and I'm sort of still

716
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 1: considering that throughout the show. I'm not gonna go lock

717
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 1: up against an OH and four team. A soft lock

718
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 1: is like one of those you know, with your Schwin bicycle,

719
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 1: with like the four letter combinations that's so easy to

720
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 1: break through, and so you're a child sub combinations seven

721
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,760
Speaker 1: seven seven seven. It's the people like maybe you got

722
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 1: an alarm home security system at some point, but you

723
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 1: no longer pay for it. You just keep the sign up,

724
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 1: keep it up enough to sign the little sticker. I

725
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:13,839
Speaker 1: get that you are what your record says you are,

726
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 1: and this is No. And four team, But it's like

727
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 1: the intro to Greg's debrief this week, the vicissitudes of

728
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 1: just to play here and to play there if not

729
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 1: for too roughing the passer penalties. I think pieces are

730
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 1: flying out right now about how Elway and Flacco have

731
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 1: revived the two and two Broncos and and Flacco is

732
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 1: just I mean, he's just a care about a team.

733
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:40,439
Speaker 1: I just don't know that about Washington Bridge too far.

734
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 1: It wasn't I'm just saying to plays, this is not

735
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,760
Speaker 1: your typical oh and four team. They are the weirdest

736
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 1: oh and four teams we have. I hear you. But

737
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 1: they should be one in three because here's how I

738
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: look at it. They lost two games convincingly, and they

739
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,359
Speaker 1: split two at the buzzer, so it's like, you know, there,

740
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 1: they haven't been a great team. I would be a

741
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 1: one in three the mask. I would argue that Jaguars

742
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 1: come back the engine behind it was a terrible Joe

743
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 1: Flacco intersect, and I would argue back, he's on the

744
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 1: roller coast to stay with the last three weeks, what

745
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 1: do you want your quarterback to do? Lead two minute

746
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 1: drills to score the go ahead touchdown with only a

747
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: minute left in the game, and he did it. I

748
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 1: said it on last week's spot. I don't actually don't

749
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:21,399
Speaker 1: think Flacco is their problem. Flacco has been exactly as

750
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:24,359
Speaker 1: good as they could hope for. They needed to be

751
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: better all around. I don't know. Part of me is

752
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:29,720
Speaker 1: just like okay, But I mean I'm also not amped

753
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 1: up as a human being. If accurate the problem with

754
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 1: the Broncos, says my actress. He's he threw a killer

755
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 1: interception that changed the energy and made up for it

756
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 1: by scoring the Also, we had a bunch of drives

757
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 1: that he didn't fly. This. Why did Flacco becomes uch?

758
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 1: You know why? Because there needs to be This is

759
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 1: interesting how this podcast works. There needed to be a

760
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 1: lightning rod because you didn't have Eli to kick around anymore.

761
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:54,760
Speaker 1: So now you have the new Eli, which is Joe Flacco,

762
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 1: and but ronically it is West now who is not

763
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 1: seeing the light and is staring at the good things

764
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: and ignoring the bad thing. I am seeing the light.

765
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 1: You want mis evaluating this. Joe Flacco has been an

766
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: average quarterback. But I'm saying, but all the analytics last

767
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:15,879
Speaker 1: season how Eli is like a top fifteen quarterback, doesn't matter.

768
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: He doesn't pass the eyes Eli, No, that is not true.

769
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 1: You're throwing out falsehoods and erroneous statements. Alright, Well, just

770
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 1: everyone listened to every single football podcasts out there. You're

771
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 1: not gonna hear this type of heat about Flacco anywhere else.

772
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 1: We care about all thirty two teams. He's just been average.

773
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. All right, let's move on, all right,

774
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: I want that dignity is important. It's not just when

775
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 1: you look in the mirror about what game he could

776
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,399
Speaker 1: lock up for. For the people in the room like

777
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: me and Mark and to some extent Greg, you can say, oh,

778
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,359
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna take my favorite team because nobody's gonna

779
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,359
Speaker 1: double cross me and take my team there, so I'll

780
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 1: steal him at the end of the draft. Now that's

781
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 1: not fair. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna put you

782
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 1: guys in that position, and I'm not going to play

783
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 1: the game that way. So even though this would have

784
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 1: been a week to do it though I know, but

785
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do it. I'm just not gonna do

786
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 1: it because like that, there's a chance Sam Donald plays,

787
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 1: and there's no way I'm gonna have somebody else watching

788
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 1: that game for this podcast. So I'm taking the Jets

789
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 1: at the Eagles. It's all. And uh, we'll see there's

790
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: a tweet. Here's a tweet I heard from a very

791
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:28,800
Speaker 1: good source, direct source. This is some real zuser insider stuff.

792
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:31,839
Speaker 1: Uh that there's a good chance Donald plays. But then

793
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 1: I see, um, a tweet from Donald's availability today. This

794
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 1: from Connor Hughes, who does very good work for the

795
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 1: athletic Sam Donald says he wants to make sure he's

796
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:45,399
Speaker 1: quote not going to die out there on Sunday. I mean,

797
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,320
Speaker 1: it would be the most Jets thing ever that Adam

798
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 1: Gas and his mania to not be painted as the

799
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 1: most miserable offensive mind in the league will kind of

800
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:59,720
Speaker 1: push his quarterback onto the field despite a large spleen,

801
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,240
Speaker 1: and that's something terrible happens. That would be a very

802
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 1: Jets thing to have happened. Um, I'm just hoping that's

803
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 1: not what happens here. I hope Sam Donald is active

804
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:13,440
Speaker 1: and also healthy, and there's a good chance that's gonna happen.

805
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 1: And now they go to the Eagles. Uh. And it's

806
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 1: a really tough game. It's a very difficult game. But

807
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 1: if there's one thing to hang your hat on, um,

808
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 1: if you think this could be a game, is the

809
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 1: idea of as a lot of things that have to happen.

810
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,319
Speaker 1: Donald has to play, the offense has to look a

811
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 1: lot better with a healthy Sam Donald, and then they

812
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 1: pick at the Eagle secondary, which has not been good.

813
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 1: That's the only way this this becomes a game, otherwise

814
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 1: it's gonna be grim. And I don't even know who's

815
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 1: calling this, Greg CBS. I imagine it is like a

816
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: Marv Albert special, C SPAN, C SPAN Public Access. But

817
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 1: that's that's the path is Donald plays and then has

818
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 1: happen able to have some success against Philly secondary their line.

819
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: They're one of these teams that concern me because when

820
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:02,840
Speaker 1: you go get the PFF rankings of everyone on offense

821
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 1: from top to bottom, they're one of these two or

822
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 1: three teams where their five starting lineman are the bottom

823
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 1: five out of six players in rankings in deep red territory.

824
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 1: And it sometimes that doesn't translate and I know how

825
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:19,279
Speaker 1: these rankings are done for the lineman, but it translates

826
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,319
Speaker 1: with the Jets, their line has been it's been a

827
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,359
Speaker 1: big story. And the thing that's been the most kind

828
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 1: of flummixing for people inside the building and out is

829
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: that talent wise, it's not the worst line. There are

830
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 1: guys that can play and then have played at an

831
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 1: okay level in this league, so that has not been

832
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 1: the issue. The worst of gas so I mean, but

833
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: the finish. The Panthers didn't want khalil Let me finish. Um. Yes,

834
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 1: you could say that maybe they just got guys that

835
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 1: were done, and that's possible, but there's also been talk

836
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:50,880
Speaker 1: for it to be as bad as it is that

837
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,799
Speaker 1: there's an issue with scheme going on, and it's it's

838
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:56,359
Speaker 1: a it's a coaching disagreement behind the scenes about how

839
00:41:56,560 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 1: how to handle the attack on offense and they tried

840
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,240
Speaker 1: to in their most recent game before the bid against

841
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:04,880
Speaker 1: the Patriots, scale it all the way back to almost

842
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,720
Speaker 1: a rudimentary form. And I'm not an offensive line expert,

843
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 1: but I could say that they are on the fly

844
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:13,240
Speaker 1: trying to change their entire strategy and that didn't work either.

845
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 1: So there's there. It's been a big, big soggy mess

846
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:17,360
Speaker 1: on that line, but I think it might be just

847
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:21,439
Speaker 1: beyond talent. You gotta be careful with Darneld. I also

848
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:24,240
Speaker 1: wouldn't want to put him out there and see anything

849
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: like what happened in Week one when he was fully

850
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:28,399
Speaker 1: healthy and they were the worst offense in the league

851
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: that week. He was not fully healthy in Week one

852
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:32,720
Speaker 1: he had mono. Then yes, okay, so there, so maybe

853
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 1: that that was part of it. The scheme hasn't looked good.

854
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 1: This is a matchup you should be able to take

855
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 1: advantage of. You know, if you're throwing the ball pretty well.

856
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 1: You can't run on the Eagles, but you can throw

857
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 1: on them. They they're they have not had a pass

858
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:47,279
Speaker 1: rush if three sacks this year. Derek Barnett's not really

859
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 1: working out for them, like they're they're a beatable defense.

860
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 1: The Eagles defense right now, well, do they have enough

861
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 1: warm bodies to start at cornerback? I think so. I

862
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:00,200
Speaker 1: think you know they're not gonna have Darby back, but

863
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:04,399
Speaker 1: I think Maddox is he back. He looked brutal before

864
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 1: he got injured. The the other thing I'd be worried

865
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 1: about it with the Jets though, is the is the

866
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:10,799
Speaker 1: Williams wall that we had talked about going into the season.

867
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 1: Leonard Williams hasn't seemed to be a fit for Greg

868
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:16,239
Speaker 1: Williams's defense hasn't made much impact. And then Quentin has

869
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 1: just been out for a couple of weeks and he

870
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 1: returned to see him making impact. Leonard Williams is a

871
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 1: guy that's there's buzz about he could be a trade

872
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 1: candidate because you know, to keep moving on from it's

873
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,759
Speaker 1: more it's more than a Greg Williams thing. He just

874
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 1: has not ever become the guy everybody thought he would.

875
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,359
Speaker 1: He's a really good run stopper that's never been a

876
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:38,839
Speaker 1: pass rush guy, And um, do they want to give

877
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 1: him a big contract? Do they want to franchise tag him?

878
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 1: Or do you want to trade him to a team

879
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 1: who thinks they can unlock his sizeable potential. I think

880
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:47,359
Speaker 1: he could be a guy to look at who could

881
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 1: be on the move in October. I just I wonder

882
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 1: what Jim Schwartz is telling his defense if Sam Donaldson

883
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 1: for some reason, like it concerns me with the kind

884
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:58,879
Speaker 1: of injury and illness that he had, that they're being

885
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 1: thrown out there that there that they don't really seem

886
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 1: to trust Adam gas alone to make the decision because

887
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:09,359
Speaker 1: it's a deep committee with the GM involved and it

888
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 1: has to be. But like they made a point of that,

889
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 1: and like, I I don't know, it's not gonna He's

890
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:16,400
Speaker 1: not gonna play unless the doctors say he's fine. So

891
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: I'm assuming that's good. But the Jets and this stuff

892
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 1: usually I just throw it have never in the history

893
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 1: of the NFL beating the Eagles, and I would be

894
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:29,759
Speaker 1: if the if the if Philadelphia lost this game, and

895
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:32,359
Speaker 1: that's a team I talked about as maybe in my mind,

896
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 1: the third or fourth best team, this would be one

897
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:39,720
Speaker 1: of the biggest disappointments of the decade for the Eagles

898
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 1: to lose this game and it's not enough. It is

899
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 1: a knock on the Jets, sorry on the sense of

900
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 1: their talent going in with situation they're in. In terms

901
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 1: of like them being a favorite, You're probably right that

902
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 1: they would probably might be the biggest favorite game they're

903
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:54,799
Speaker 1: What will happen on Philly radio if they ever lost

904
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 1: to this team. I'm curious to see if Miles Sanders

905
00:44:57,480 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 1: and Jordan Howard can keep it going because I kind

906
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 1: of like that backfield the way they're they're trending. I

907
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 1: think Jordan Howard's run pretty well. Sanders gives you something

908
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 1: if they if they don't play that well, I do

909
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:08,719
Speaker 1: wonder if they would add a running back at the

910
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 1: trade deadline, but there's no reason to you at this point. Alight,

911
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to uh what were the one

912
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:18,320
Speaker 1: o'clock games? This is my backup game in the morning.

913
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 1: I don't like to even think myself as having a

914
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 1: backup game because there's so much focus. Let's see the

915
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:27,400
Speaker 1: gable going around the wheel. And I'm looking for a

916
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:29,440
Speaker 1: rocking chair game for my later early game as well.

917
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 1: We'll get to that. I'll take the Patriots. Come on,

918
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:35,879
Speaker 1: oh no, I don't want to watch the Patriots this week.

919
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:39,400
Speaker 1: Um live. I'll take the Texans and the Falcons because

920
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 1: it's got DeShawn Watson involved. Uh And that's fun, partly

921
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 1: because you don't know what you're gonna get some weeks.

922
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 1: You get what you got last week, where they average

923
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 1: three point three yards per attempt, which is a little wild.

924
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 1: I think they will be able to bounce back, partly

925
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:58,319
Speaker 1: because their offensive line, their improvement that we talked about

926
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:00,120
Speaker 1: in week three, it was there again last week. I

927
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 1: know he took a few sacks, but man, they protected

928
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: him really well against Carolina. Uh. And I think ultimately

929
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 1: that's a good sign long term for this Texans team

930
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 1: that has a lot of good things going for them.

931
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:13,279
Speaker 1: They got out scheme, they got out played a week ago,

932
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 1: and talk about the last stand game. I think this

933
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 1: is it for the Falcons. Well, no, maybe it's a

934
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:22,080
Speaker 1: little early for that. Again. Later I rode here, Texans

935
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:24,840
Speaker 1: can break Falcons right here and and if you and

936
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:28,440
Speaker 1: if the falcon, if the Falcons lose, is it highlighted

937
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:32,880
Speaker 1: though ort Texans can break Falcons? Should be like we

938
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 1: should have another spit OFUF podcast where Mark holds up

939
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 1: his notes and just shows this different thing, but a

940
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 1: little work marks highlighters if you get because the way

941
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:44,799
Speaker 1: it is I'm looking at it right now, is there.

942
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 1: Maybe we can hold it up for the camera. You

943
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:49,920
Speaker 1: have you have the standard black font, then you have

944
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:52,719
Speaker 1: red font, and then you have and this is important,

945
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 1: highlighted black font, which I can only assume is the

946
00:46:56,480 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 1: most important. It's called work and to me, it translates

947
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 1: a lot of it. I just used to notes from

948
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,799
Speaker 1: week to week doesn't translate always when we've got three

949
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 1: and a half minutes to discuss I like it. You

950
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 1: are super prepared, super prepped. The Texans defense is playing

951
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 1: nine guys basically every snap, which is very out of

952
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 1: the Norman Today's NFL. Whitney Merciless and J J Y

953
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 1: played almost every snap the entire season. This kind of

954
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:23,319
Speaker 1: speaks to how top heavy they are that we've talked about,

955
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:27,400
Speaker 1: like it's a very risky way to run defense playing nineteen,

956
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 1: but they're playing they're playing well, they've got they've got

957
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:33,240
Speaker 1: a week spot in their secondary and rookie Lonnie Johnson,

958
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:36,720
Speaker 1: who teams are attacking, and I would expect the Falcons

959
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,760
Speaker 1: to go right at him. Falcons are a five hundred

960
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:43,239
Speaker 1: teams since they're Super Bowl loss only. The Dolphins are

961
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:45,759
Speaker 1: worse in the first half in terms of point differential

962
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:49,440
Speaker 1: this year, and they're starting about eleven or twelve of

963
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:51,800
Speaker 1: the same guys they were starting when they were dominant

964
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:54,520
Speaker 1: and a couple of years ago. I think you have

965
00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 1: to wonder about the coaching. Quinn has regressed um or

966
00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 1: the defense has regressed. With Quinn is the play. They

967
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 1: have no running game and we beat up Steve Sarkisian

968
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 1: everybody did. Dark Cutter comes along and are we seeing

969
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:09,480
Speaker 1: the old Falkins offense? Dark Cutter reminds me. It reminds

970
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 1: me of the Bucks offense, where there's a ton of yardage,

971
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:15,800
Speaker 1: not a lot of drives going for touchdowns necessarily. No,

972
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 1: they were Matt Ryan was sacked what five times? Last week?

973
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:24,839
Speaker 1: They were stopped on fourth and short three times. They've

974
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:28,719
Speaker 1: totally fizzle against the They're not a balanced team, and

975
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:30,880
Speaker 1: I don't like the way that you're going into Houston

976
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 1: and you're dealing with merciless and J. J. Watt, I'm

977
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:35,319
Speaker 1: regretting this pick right now here and now this, And

978
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 1: this is one of those situations like in a fantasy draft,

979
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 1: you get back to your computer, there's like seven seconds

980
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 1: left and you buy you take Vacante Shanko to fill

981
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 1: your tight end slot. Um, all right, let us move

982
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 1: on up next, Mark Sessler. So I typically it looks

983
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:54,279
Speaker 1: like it will be a week where I have to

984
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:56,120
Speaker 1: write a recap in one of these games. So I'm

985
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 1: looking for one that's just a big, meaty blowout, hopefully

986
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:04,760
Speaker 1: over by halftime. But I also enjoy I enjoy seeing

987
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 1: utter destruction, and I want to see talk about a

988
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:11,400
Speaker 1: team that's going to be paying the price when they

989
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:15,360
Speaker 1: get whopped once again, when the Patriots go into Washington

990
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:18,360
Speaker 1: and take the Redskins and scatter them into fifty parts.

991
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:21,160
Speaker 1: I also I want to see how New England plays

992
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:23,880
Speaker 1: on offense. After last week. It's not obviously you're playing

993
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:27,319
Speaker 1: one fourth the team, but New England watching that game,

994
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:30,279
Speaker 1: looked bad on offense, and the Bills had a lot

995
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:33,400
Speaker 1: to do with it. But this is a team in

996
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 1: New England that just had to put their kicker on.

997
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 1: Ir Mike Nugent is your kicker? Now that is I'm

998
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 1: not seeing Guskowski. Kai was in the running for that job,

999
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 1: and Kai's Kai. We all know that. What does that

1000
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 1: tell you? But go get a job, Kai, Go win

1001
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:47,359
Speaker 1: a job in a big spot. It's been a while now,

1002
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 1: it's been a minute since you've been kicking in the NFL,

1003
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:51,719
Speaker 1: and you're up against the news, and we all know

1004
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:53,800
Speaker 1: the news is the news, and the news is about

1005
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 1: to see to see minus and they had five plus

1006
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:02,400
Speaker 1: kickers in a I love that they're going that building

1007
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:04,239
Speaker 1: and don't walk out of that building until you gotta

1008
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 1: you've got a contract in your head. It is delightful.

1009
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:10,560
Speaker 1: They've gone from Vinitary to Gustkowsky, no break in between,

1010
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 1: twenty three years, four games, and now you've got the

1011
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:16,720
Speaker 1: nude and you've got young Way coup on the practice squad.

1012
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 1: Do you think it's it's not a huge step down.

1013
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 1: I almost thought my first thing was that this might

1014
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 1: have been a phantom I R scenario because he's missed

1015
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 1: four extra points in four games, and maybe he's it's

1016
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:31,799
Speaker 1: a It's amazing and a credit to Vinitierry, even with

1017
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:34,400
Speaker 1: his struggles earlier this year, that he's still kicking in

1018
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:36,959
Speaker 1: the league while the guy that replaced them, the kid

1019
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:39,279
Speaker 1: fifteen years ago, might be nearing the end of the

1020
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 1: line potend. Now he's having left hip hip surgery. Apparently

1021
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 1: he's been playing through it for a while, and that

1022
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:48,960
Speaker 1: is potentially, you know, a career threatening injury. Be a kicker,

1023
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:52,319
Speaker 1: he's been a great pro. He's been a you know,

1024
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:54,319
Speaker 1: he's been a great kicker over the years. I will

1025
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:56,800
Speaker 1: miss let's pick this game. Do you think that Belichick

1026
00:50:56,920 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 1: will be able to survive the game? Play need advantage

1027
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:03,359
Speaker 1: that the Redskins have in this one? Whit whit well

1028
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:06,399
Speaker 1: after Jake no idea, who's playing quarterback, they asked him,

1029
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:09,480
Speaker 1: what is your planet? He said, we don't have one,

1030
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:11,920
Speaker 1: but we I would love to see a little cult McCoy.

1031
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 1: That's exciting. I would can I lock up cult McCoy

1032
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:18,319
Speaker 1: starting because I feel like that is in your own

1033
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:21,640
Speaker 1: little world. You can extremely safe unless he injures himself

1034
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 1: between Sunday, which is possible. I hate these type of games.

1035
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:28,759
Speaker 1: Is there's a few real like dead butt teams right now.

1036
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 1: Redskins are one of them, and uh, I feel like

1037
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:33,840
Speaker 1: we've learned nothing about this game. But like, if the

1038
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:36,480
Speaker 1: Patriots score forty points, I don't I don't take anything

1039
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 1: from that. This is not how purbly the Redskins started

1040
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:41,279
Speaker 1: in offense last week. That is worse than some of

1041
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:44,080
Speaker 1: them you'll see in the preseason. I think out of

1042
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:46,400
Speaker 1: the eleven players who started for them on offense, not

1043
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:48,839
Speaker 1: even half could make a roster for another. Well, they

1044
00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:51,320
Speaker 1: are very injured two and they're missing Trent Williams. Like it,

1045
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:54,200
Speaker 1: there was distinct disadvantages going in, but you don't trust

1046
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:55,960
Speaker 1: the coaching staff to coach out of any of them.

1047
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:59,919
Speaker 1: Mcclarin is is back, but Sheriff might still be out. Jordan,

1048
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 1: he hasn't played this year. Vernon Davis might be added

1049
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:05,160
Speaker 1: to the mix. You know, you can watch Larry Guy,

1050
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:08,239
Speaker 1: my guy, Lawrence Sky. You know, we're just gonna pick

1051
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:10,640
Speaker 1: out a new role player on this Patriots defense. It's

1052
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:13,839
Speaker 1: playing lights out every week. It's Larry Guy. It's it's

1053
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:16,400
Speaker 1: a great defense. Josh Gordon's a problem. That's one thing

1054
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:18,439
Speaker 1: I think that you can learn in this game. Josh

1055
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:21,880
Speaker 1: Gordon and Tom are very much not on the same page.

1056
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:25,480
Speaker 1: I watching rewatching that game. It wasn't about protection. It

1057
00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:30,600
Speaker 1: was about Edelman's hurt. Gordon is hurt and out of sink.

1058
00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:34,799
Speaker 1: The receiver situation is not pristine. They are They were

1059
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 1: a three out machine in that game. You you blanked

1060
00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 1: and they had the puncher back on. The punter is

1061
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:40,799
Speaker 1: doing great, by the way, to Ben Watson returns by

1062
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 1: the way, former Patriots great after ten years away from

1063
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:46,399
Speaker 1: the team. Minor yawn um, All right, can we get

1064
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 1: a full screen on Ricky because this is a snake

1065
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 1: snake pick and we want to make sure. But like

1066
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:56,279
Speaker 1: close ups, she ran downstairs and cut the drop maybe

1067
00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:58,239
Speaker 1: the audio and just don't care. But like getting on

1068
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:00,440
Speaker 1: the ploores, You know what, why would you say that?

1069
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:12,680
Speaker 1: Fair request? Let it? I'm a snake, alright, Mark, I'm

1070
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:19,239
Speaker 1: a snake. It's a baby, and I am going to pick.

1071
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:22,239
Speaker 1: You know we're going to London. Why not take the

1072
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:24,399
Speaker 1: London game. I love that they've actually found a way

1073
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:27,319
Speaker 1: to put this at our time ten a m l

1074
00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:30,319
Speaker 1: A time one pm Eastern, not any not sure at

1075
00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:32,239
Speaker 1: all what time it is in the UK. They can

1076
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 1: figure that out six pm in London. I looked at

1077
00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:40,239
Speaker 1: the Bears game. I have I am so have been

1078
00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:42,480
Speaker 1: so down on the Bears because I cannot believe at

1079
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:46,440
Speaker 1: all in their offense, in their quarterback position. My mind

1080
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:51,280
Speaker 1: has changed at this point. I could see them becoming

1081
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:53,640
Speaker 1: one of the last two teams in a non dominant

1082
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:56,720
Speaker 1: team NFC. I really could. And I think their defense

1083
00:53:56,800 --> 00:54:00,640
Speaker 1: is truly special. And London games, oh, these seem to

1084
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:03,600
Speaker 1: come with a bit of residual chaos, and I think

1085
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 1: this is going to the Bears. Whoever plays the Bears,

1086
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 1: whatever happens, whoever loses that game, obviously is gonna come

1087
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:14,680
Speaker 1: out with total nightmarish in house issues. We saw it

1088
00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:17,920
Speaker 1: with the Vikings. You know, you've got two one receiver complaining,

1089
00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:21,480
Speaker 1: the others on the trade block. Potentially everyone's wondering what's

1090
00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:24,200
Speaker 1: going on with the Vikings. What will happen when the

1091
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:26,960
Speaker 1: Raiders get utterly thumped in a game that I think

1092
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:30,320
Speaker 1: will be about thirty three to seven, and the Raiders

1093
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:33,600
Speaker 1: come out of London with no answers, looking totally lost,

1094
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:35,920
Speaker 1: and we are looking at the last eleven or twelve

1095
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:39,560
Speaker 1: games of Derek Carrett quarterback. Well, I'm sticking to that opinion.

1096
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:41,359
Speaker 1: You can shake your head. I just think that they're

1097
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:43,120
Speaker 1: gonna be This is the beginning of a lot of

1098
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:47,400
Speaker 1: changes on offense and the Bears are they defense travels

1099
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:50,279
Speaker 1: to London, well, and they're going to drop the old

1100
00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:54,919
Speaker 1: Chicago hammer. And I don't care what Chase Daniel does.

1101
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:58,560
Speaker 1: I just realized what's going on here marks organic tanking

1102
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:02,080
Speaker 1: the draft here because you just you pick the biggest

1103
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:05,000
Speaker 1: lop sided game of the week. This is not this

1104
00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:08,480
Speaker 1: is Patriots and you just predicted you predicted a thirty

1105
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:12,200
Speaker 1: three to three. Okay, well, two massive blowouts. You need

1106
00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:14,520
Speaker 1: to I don't need. First of all, we watched all

1107
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:18,120
Speaker 1: these games during the week on Sunday. I'm fine with

1108
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:22,520
Speaker 1: a couple distinctive. I enjoy football blowouts too. You don't.

1109
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:24,680
Speaker 1: That's you. You're hitting on something. And this has become

1110
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:29,560
Speaker 1: a fascinate for me in all sports and entertaining blowout

1111
00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:34,000
Speaker 1: is underrated. I love see greatness and have a destruction

1112
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:37,319
Speaker 1: and wipe the floor like in tennis other sports too.

1113
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:40,320
Speaker 1: I I sometimes enjoy that better than like a close

1114
00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:42,279
Speaker 1: about a dude on the other side of the ball.

1115
00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:43,960
Speaker 1: Doesn't that take away from it a little bit? I

1116
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:47,040
Speaker 1: would I would fume this mue like Chicago's defense. We're

1117
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 1: watching a truly great, memorable defense has answered all the

1118
00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:53,399
Speaker 1: doubters after people thought they couldn't do it again. I've

1119
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:55,680
Speaker 1: said that a bunch in the off season, and to me,

1120
00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:58,959
Speaker 1: a wipe out like this it's purifying. Well, they've had great,

1121
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:01,920
Speaker 1: they've had good, they've had good matchups overall. And this

1122
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:04,719
Speaker 1: is another one. You know, the Raiders offense, despite being

1123
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:07,879
Speaker 1: two and two, has only two receivers over sixty yards.

1124
00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:10,040
Speaker 1: They could use like a number one type of receiver,

1125
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:12,840
Speaker 1: like a Hall of Fame type of guy, you know

1126
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:15,040
Speaker 1: what I mean. Because then Tyrone Williams, he's he's a

1127
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:17,520
Speaker 1: good two who is now playing one. You have Darren Waller,

1128
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:20,160
Speaker 1: he's broken out. Josh Jacobs is a great pick, but

1129
00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:23,160
Speaker 1: you're so thin at receiver hunter renfro who. It was

1130
00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:25,480
Speaker 1: really the trendy thing after the draft and in the summer,

1131
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:27,200
Speaker 1: it's like, hey, this is the guy you just stick

1132
00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:29,640
Speaker 1: right in there. He's gonna be catching seventy balls the

1133
00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:32,440
Speaker 1: next decade. He they've thrown the ball eighteen times to him.

1134
00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:35,440
Speaker 1: They have eighty eight yards on those eighteen throws. He's

1135
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:37,759
Speaker 1: him and the rest of the outside receivers other than

1136
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:40,480
Speaker 1: Tyroe Williams are guys who would not make other teams.

1137
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:43,080
Speaker 1: I think I like the matchup for Chase Daniel. This

1138
00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:47,560
Speaker 1: is a dream scenario. No Vantes perfect and Cleveland Furrel,

1139
00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 1: the number four over overall pick in the draft. Among

1140
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:55,320
Speaker 1: edge rushers with one hundred plus snaps this season, ranks

1141
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:58,920
Speaker 1: dead last and win rate according to Pro pro Football Focus,

1142
00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:02,120
Speaker 1: which is basically the guy. I know Raiders fans don't

1143
00:57:02,120 --> 00:57:05,239
Speaker 1: see it this way, but essentially, you traded Khalil Mack

1144
00:57:05,719 --> 00:57:08,200
Speaker 1: and you used your top five pick on a pass rusher.

1145
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:11,680
Speaker 1: He's essentially Clio Max's replacement. Well, there's that angle to

1146
00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:14,480
Speaker 1: this game. To Khalil Mack having a chance to face

1147
00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:18,840
Speaker 1: the Oakland Raiders and John Gruden. I would imagine he's

1148
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:21,960
Speaker 1: already on an m v P level tear right now.

1149
00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:24,640
Speaker 1: This would have a nice little narrative. What's gonna lead

1150
00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:26,800
Speaker 1: all your little prime time shows? If Khalil Mack has

1151
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:29,120
Speaker 1: three sacks in this game, he knows how to trash

1152
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:32,080
Speaker 1: Colton Miller if that's when he's going up against him.

1153
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:34,320
Speaker 1: Trent Brown, by the way, who we also wondered, was

1154
00:57:34,320 --> 00:57:36,440
Speaker 1: that too much money? He's been fantastic for the Raiders.

1155
00:57:36,480 --> 00:57:39,240
Speaker 1: Their offensive line in general has been fantastic. Not Colton

1156
00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:41,440
Speaker 1: Miller though, so that's if you get you get Mac

1157
00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:43,800
Speaker 1: or if it's Floyd when he's on Miller and you

1158
00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:45,840
Speaker 1: have a win. It is pretty wild. By the way,

1159
00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:48,280
Speaker 1: I thought about this couple days ago. We were so

1160
00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:51,200
Speaker 1: close to it and everyone was so exhausted by the storylines.

1161
00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:54,120
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown is not in the NFL anymore. He's just

1162
00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:57,240
Speaker 1: had a the NFL, the arguably the best wide receiver

1163
00:57:57,280 --> 00:58:00,200
Speaker 1: in football. They's just gone. Yes, someone was just because

1164
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:03,960
Speaker 1: he was us. He apparently got into it on social

1165
00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:10,720
Speaker 1: media with some player and like this baeld in some stories. Okay,

1166
00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:13,040
Speaker 1: I guess this was a big story in some circles,

1167
00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:15,880
Speaker 1: but in others like mine, I'm sure that's muted or

1168
00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:19,200
Speaker 1: you know, it's like even him screaming into the void

1169
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:21,640
Speaker 1: is not really like making a big pop anymore. He

1170
00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:24,040
Speaker 1: needed to go off on like Scandinavian novels and then

1171
00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:25,720
Speaker 1: it would have hit Gregg's feet. But it was. It

1172
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:28,920
Speaker 1: was a relatively large store after wet in Baker. This

1173
00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:31,560
Speaker 1: is uh, this is a perfect game to open up Tottenham.

1174
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:34,720
Speaker 1: The London crowd they know it. They love the ugly games,

1175
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:37,600
Speaker 1: and I love them for that. They loved it, loved

1176
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:41,080
Speaker 1: the defense, they love the kicking. There might be some

1177
00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:44,440
Speaker 1: rain here. It just could be messy fans in London,

1178
00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:49,600
Speaker 1: all right. Next up, Greg No, Well, I think, actually,

1179
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:51,320
Speaker 1: here's what you do when you have I guess no

1180
00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:54,080
Speaker 1: trap board three games at one point at one time.

1181
00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:56,600
Speaker 1: You gotta just take the battle of the windless teams.

1182
00:58:57,360 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 1: Because if there's any game that deserves the number three spot,

1183
00:59:00,560 --> 00:59:05,960
Speaker 1: it's the Cardinals and the Bengals. I mean the Cardinals here.

1184
00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:07,720
Speaker 1: Let's try to think of something interesting in this game.

1185
00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:10,720
Speaker 1: They're running. Game hasn't been bad. David Johnson, I think

1186
00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:12,800
Speaker 1: looks better each week. Was starting to do some of

1187
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:15,280
Speaker 1: those ski slalom moves that he used to do a

1188
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:17,760
Speaker 1: few years ago. Last week, Kyler Murray, when they do

1189
00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:20,120
Speaker 1: call a run for him or when he scrambles, his

1190
00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:23,120
Speaker 1: footwork is just different. Like his footspeed and foot work.

1191
00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:26,760
Speaker 1: His feet are moving so quickly, like it's wild. I

1192
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:29,400
Speaker 1: love and disappointed in him as as a runner. They

1193
00:59:29,400 --> 00:59:32,400
Speaker 1: don't use in an escape artist like Lamar Jackson is

1194
00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:36,400
Speaker 1: an explosive, elusive runner. I don't think Kyler Murray. Kyler

1195
00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:38,520
Speaker 1: is not looking to run. You're right, it's the couple

1196
00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:43,560
Speaker 1: of teams, right. That's when he's he's trying to buy time.

1197
00:59:43,560 --> 00:59:45,280
Speaker 1: I don't think he's great buying time in the pocket,

1198
00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:47,760
Speaker 1: But when he actually makes the decision to go, he

1199
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:50,840
Speaker 1: shakes people off and goes around him like it's nothing.

1200
00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:52,480
Speaker 1: And the running game hasn't been bad. They should be

1201
00:59:52,520 --> 00:59:54,360
Speaker 1: able to run all over this. I mean David Johnson

1202
00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:57,000
Speaker 1: has and he had this trait and this skill before

1203
00:59:57,040 --> 01:00:00,600
Speaker 1: he's become a primary receiver. Because they don't have a

1204
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:03,000
Speaker 1: deep game the way that I thought they would necessarily.

1205
01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:06,160
Speaker 1: I when I watched the Cardinals, like they move the

1206
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:09,480
Speaker 1: ball really really well. They cannot finish drives. It's constantly

1207
01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:12,840
Speaker 1: going eleven. They have these long nine ten eleven play

1208
01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:15,959
Speaker 1: drives that finished with a field goal, and field goals

1209
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:18,480
Speaker 1: that go south half the time too. To me, they're

1210
01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:21,000
Speaker 1: disappointing and I and I do wonder because it's too

1211
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:23,680
Speaker 1: early to judge. They need more time to build what

1212
01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:26,480
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury wants to do. They don't look to me

1213
01:00:27,120 --> 01:00:31,320
Speaker 1: that distinctively explosively different than a bunch of other teams

1214
01:00:31,320 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 1: that are using three wide receiver sets all the time. Fine,

1215
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:37,040
Speaker 1: they go for it's not translating into stuff we've never

1216
01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:39,920
Speaker 1: seen before that we're so bedazzled by. And I do

1217
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:42,040
Speaker 1: wonder where you brought in Cliff Kingsbury. I think he's

1218
01:00:42,040 --> 01:00:45,320
Speaker 1: done okay job with not a lot of parts early on.

1219
01:00:45,560 --> 01:00:47,320
Speaker 1: What if you get a ten and eleven games into

1220
01:00:47,320 --> 01:00:50,200
Speaker 1: this and realize, wait a minute, this special offense isn't

1221
01:00:50,240 --> 01:00:53,960
Speaker 1: that special and they lost Kristen Kirk. Both John Rashian

1222
01:00:54,160 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 1: and Kristen Kirk are expected to missus game ross Are

1223
01:00:56,760 --> 01:00:59,360
Speaker 1: they that impossible to the band? For though? From a

1224
01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:04,160
Speaker 1: defensive and points when Larry FitzGeralds is by far your

1225
01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:07,080
Speaker 1: number one and your two draft picks at their three

1226
01:01:07,160 --> 01:01:10,040
Speaker 1: draft picks at the position aren't making much of an impact.

1227
01:01:10,840 --> 01:01:12,760
Speaker 1: They're not that hard to cover. You get one on

1228
01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:15,000
Speaker 1: one matchups, but they're not hard to cover. I saw

1229
01:01:15,120 --> 01:01:17,600
Speaker 1: Larry FitzGeralds that that blew my mind. This week, you

1230
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:19,960
Speaker 1: guys all know that he's now second only to Jerry

1231
01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:24,360
Speaker 1: Rice and career receptions. He has one thousand six receptions,

1232
01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:32,600
Speaker 1: second on the active list. Take a guess, Wow, Antonio

1233
01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:36,840
Speaker 1: Brown doesn't count. No actively suiting up for NFL teams.

1234
01:01:37,160 --> 01:01:40,200
Speaker 1: I don't not just tell Jolio Jones has seven one,

1235
01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:45,440
Speaker 1: He's got like about half of Larry Fitzgerald's receptions. That

1236
01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:48,320
Speaker 1: is crazy. That is wild. And on the Cincinnati side,

1237
01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:51,320
Speaker 1: we saw, you know, how things how bad things have

1238
01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:55,080
Speaker 1: gotten on Monday night. Robert Maze of The Ringer wrote

1239
01:01:55,120 --> 01:02:00,440
Speaker 1: a piece this week about about Cincinnati basically their downfall

1240
01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:03,040
Speaker 1: since he broke his thumb. Uh. He was an m

1241
01:02:03,080 --> 01:02:05,080
Speaker 1: v P cant in two thousand fifteen, broke his thumb

1242
01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:09,360
Speaker 1: and then everything that's gone downhill for Cincinnati since. Uh.

1243
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:11,800
Speaker 1: He came to the conclusion what we've been talking about

1244
01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:14,400
Speaker 1: in years on this podcast, that he's essentially the prime

1245
01:02:14,520 --> 01:02:17,160
Speaker 1: Ridian and he's as good as the people around him

1246
01:02:17,200 --> 01:02:19,640
Speaker 1: allow him to be. And it can get really bad

1247
01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:21,520
Speaker 1: when you have bad people around him, which is where

1248
01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:24,800
Speaker 1: he is right now. And made me think about if

1249
01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:27,960
Speaker 1: this is indeed the end of the Andy Dalton experience

1250
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:30,640
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati and they have no more guaranteed money tied

1251
01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:33,680
Speaker 1: up with him after this season, if they did go

1252
01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:37,280
Speaker 1: in a different direction, does Andy Dalton get a chance

1253
01:02:37,360 --> 01:02:40,560
Speaker 1: to be a starter somewhere else or does he have

1254
01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:42,960
Speaker 1: to go to the Ryan Tannehill path of his career

1255
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:46,000
Speaker 1: because by the same virtue of what we've been discussing,

1256
01:02:46,120 --> 01:02:48,160
Speaker 1: if you if you're a team that has a nice

1257
01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:50,880
Speaker 1: set up around it, perhaps Dalton could be closer to

1258
01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:54,160
Speaker 1: the guy who wasn't h I'm curious what kind of

1259
01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:58,200
Speaker 1: value he would have a case Keenum, but only if

1260
01:02:58,280 --> 01:03:00,440
Speaker 1: only one or two coaches would would have taking case

1261
01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:02,880
Speaker 1: keenom to begin with. And I know I'm rough on Dalton.

1262
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:05,919
Speaker 1: I think that I think that your quarterback has more

1263
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:10,200
Speaker 1: meaning than than just simply his on field talents or ceiling.

1264
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:13,280
Speaker 1: You have to sell your quarterback to a more savvy

1265
01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:15,840
Speaker 1: fan based than at any time in football history. I

1266
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:17,720
Speaker 1: think it's a tough sell. The answer is yes, so

1267
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:19,920
Speaker 1: get a chance at some He's not gonna be the

1268
01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:23,680
Speaker 1: Broncos quarterback next year? Is it feels about right? J? J.

1269
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:28,000
Speaker 1: Gruden will be coaching Andy Dalton in Denver. I mean

1270
01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:33,720
Speaker 1: they actually have links. It does. But they put John

1271
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:36,160
Speaker 1: Ross and I R And you know a J. Green

1272
01:03:36,320 --> 01:03:38,640
Speaker 1: is bubbling up is a potential guy you ship out

1273
01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:44,480
Speaker 1: of the building because why is he there? Off? You

1274
01:03:44,520 --> 01:03:46,360
Speaker 1: know you could see Joe Mixon. Joe Mixon is the

1275
01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:49,440
Speaker 1: one last guy who's like a real asset there and

1276
01:03:49,560 --> 01:03:52,040
Speaker 1: you can just see how fresh I for broke my

1277
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:54,320
Speaker 1: heart and that after the steel The only time that

1278
01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:57,160
Speaker 1: game felt like it was competitive is a fumble by

1279
01:03:57,200 --> 01:04:00,360
Speaker 1: the Steelers. Since then, I takes over first ten for

1280
01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:05,360
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's fifteen Tyler Eiffort on a third down on a

1281
01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:08,280
Speaker 1: pass he absolutely pulls in before his forty seven you know,

1282
01:04:08,520 --> 01:04:11,040
Speaker 1: lower body injuries he had. It was like when Jimmy

1283
01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:13,200
Speaker 1: Graham couldn't come down with that pass on Thursday night,

1284
01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:16,200
Speaker 1: Like old Jimmy Graham's got that. Old Tyler would have

1285
01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:18,600
Speaker 1: had that ball I have. I've let Tyler go after that.

1286
01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:21,440
Speaker 1: You've been very into Tyler Rife first, I've had time,

1287
01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:23,600
Speaker 1: I've had a lot of patience. I always believed in him,

1288
01:04:23,840 --> 01:04:26,960
Speaker 1: but I think those injuries have taken away that elite athleticism.

1289
01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:29,760
Speaker 1: That's all I feel about Earl Thomas. It's tough, right

1290
01:04:29,880 --> 01:04:34,360
Speaker 1: it is to fash it out again. Boom is pick.

1291
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:37,160
Speaker 1: You know, I'm really surprised the way the draft fall

1292
01:04:37,200 --> 01:04:40,600
Speaker 1: in the last picks, because you know, in in fantasy dress,

1293
01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:43,200
Speaker 1: sometimes when you're like I really want to take this guy,

1294
01:04:43,320 --> 01:04:45,200
Speaker 1: but you take the other guy and then life is

1295
01:04:45,240 --> 01:04:47,240
Speaker 1: good and you end up getting the option to take

1296
01:04:47,280 --> 01:04:52,320
Speaker 1: that original guy. That's what happened for me here. Uh uh.

1297
01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:56,840
Speaker 1: I have the Minnesota Vikings to the metal Lands to

1298
01:04:56,920 --> 01:05:00,800
Speaker 1: face the Giants, and yes, we have a an epidemic

1299
01:05:00,880 --> 01:05:04,160
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Stefon Diggs now is letting it be

1300
01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:07,200
Speaker 1: known that because times are getting tough in the modern NFL,

1301
01:05:07,360 --> 01:05:09,240
Speaker 1: times get tough, trade me, get me out of here.

1302
01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:11,320
Speaker 1: I'm not happy. I don't need to play out to

1303
01:05:11,360 --> 01:05:13,560
Speaker 1: my contract. I will be sick. I will go home

1304
01:05:13,960 --> 01:05:15,520
Speaker 1: and then I will try to force your hand to

1305
01:05:15,600 --> 01:05:18,439
Speaker 1: trade me. Uh. He came back to the team after

1306
01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:21,120
Speaker 1: missing a practice yesterday, Diggs, And this isn't a season

1307
01:05:21,160 --> 01:05:24,240
Speaker 1: in which we know everything has gone badly right now

1308
01:05:24,520 --> 01:05:28,000
Speaker 1: going badly right now from Minnesota's offense. Very small sample size,

1309
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:30,720
Speaker 1: by the way, but he is not getting targeted the

1310
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:34,120
Speaker 1: way he did last season, not even close. Stefon Diggs.

1311
01:05:34,480 --> 01:05:37,840
Speaker 1: And on the same week that Adam Feelan called out

1312
01:05:37,920 --> 01:05:41,200
Speaker 1: the offense and the quarterback, leading to Kirk Cousins weirdly

1313
01:05:41,480 --> 01:05:45,040
Speaker 1: publicly apologizing to Adam Feelan, the other wide receiver, then

1314
01:05:45,600 --> 01:05:47,160
Speaker 1: lets it be known that he wants out of town.

1315
01:05:47,240 --> 01:05:49,960
Speaker 1: So Minnesota has a lot of issues right now, and

1316
01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:52,280
Speaker 1: it's kind of an interesting time for them to go

1317
01:05:52,640 --> 01:05:55,560
Speaker 1: face a Giant's team that, despite back to back wins,

1318
01:05:55,640 --> 01:06:01,080
Speaker 1: known is gonna confuse this defense with the eight six Giants. Uh, Minnesota.

1319
01:06:01,120 --> 01:06:03,919
Speaker 1: If they just figure out some type of game plan

1320
01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:06,480
Speaker 1: and find some balance to their offense, you would think

1321
01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:08,000
Speaker 1: they should be able to move the ball. And if

1322
01:06:08,040 --> 01:06:11,040
Speaker 1: they don't and Danny Dimes and I don't think say

1323
01:06:11,080 --> 01:06:14,640
Speaker 1: Kwan Barkley is playing, but apparently he is. He is possible.

1324
01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:17,280
Speaker 1: They say it's not practicing as a Thursday, but apparently

1325
01:06:17,600 --> 01:06:20,440
Speaker 1: he's such a superman that it's he's getting close. But

1326
01:06:20,560 --> 01:06:22,720
Speaker 1: even without say Kwan Barkley, if the Viking still find

1327
01:06:22,760 --> 01:06:24,920
Speaker 1: a way to win this game, and if they look

1328
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:27,560
Speaker 1: bad doing it, we might have a mutiny in on

1329
01:06:27,640 --> 01:06:31,600
Speaker 1: our hand with the old Viking horn. I mean, you win,

1330
01:06:31,680 --> 01:06:34,479
Speaker 1: you win, it doesn't matter if it's a star you're saying.

1331
01:06:34,520 --> 01:06:41,760
Speaker 1: If they win ugly, no, no, if they lose or thirteen. Uh,

1332
01:06:42,120 --> 01:06:44,840
Speaker 1: and the offense is not moving, everyone's already talking behind

1333
01:06:44,880 --> 01:06:47,840
Speaker 1: the scenes. I just this season could go up in flames,

1334
01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:50,560
Speaker 1: as sometimes happens in Minnesota. Something else, I wrote Death

1335
01:06:50,640 --> 01:06:53,080
Speaker 1: of the Vikings a question mark. I'm not saying it's

1336
01:06:53,080 --> 01:06:55,240
Speaker 1: gonna happen, but that a double pound sign in front

1337
01:06:55,240 --> 01:06:58,880
Speaker 1: of the triple and that's just to separate it. So

1338
01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:03,320
Speaker 1: I remember to say more that held something against the

1339
01:07:03,440 --> 01:07:06,240
Speaker 1: Vikings ever since you gave their your heart to them

1340
01:07:06,320 --> 01:07:10,760
Speaker 1: as the team of a t L. That's but I

1341
01:07:10,840 --> 01:07:15,000
Speaker 1: would say this though, because something seems to systematically eerie

1342
01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:18,680
Speaker 1: with the Vikings, because Kevin Stefanski, their offensive coordinator, was

1343
01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:20,800
Speaker 1: someone that was getting a ton of buzz around the

1344
01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:25,080
Speaker 1: league and got a head coaching interviewer two. The Browns

1345
01:07:25,120 --> 01:07:28,240
Speaker 1: are very serious about him potentially being their head coach,

1346
01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:31,240
Speaker 1: and analytic skies loved him and all this other business

1347
01:07:31,440 --> 01:07:33,200
Speaker 1: they bring in Gary Kubiak. But I feel like that

1348
01:07:33,320 --> 01:07:35,560
Speaker 1: was to quell to some degree Mike Zimmer, who for

1349
01:07:35,680 --> 01:07:39,680
Speaker 1: two years in a row cannot get by behind an

1350
01:07:39,720 --> 01:07:42,320
Speaker 1: offense that is actually modernized. It is run first, and

1351
01:07:42,400 --> 01:07:44,919
Speaker 1: that's great when you're in a situation where Dalvin Cook

1352
01:07:45,400 --> 01:07:47,040
Speaker 1: is going to run the ball crazy. I know the

1353
01:07:47,120 --> 01:07:49,640
Speaker 1: offensive line stinks, but I look at the Vikings as

1354
01:07:49,640 --> 01:07:52,560
Speaker 1: a confused operation. What is it they are on offense?

1355
01:07:52,920 --> 01:07:55,160
Speaker 1: And if they ever the Giants are not a very

1356
01:07:55,200 --> 01:07:58,480
Speaker 1: good defense, obviously, but they looked better last week. I

1357
01:07:58,560 --> 01:08:00,640
Speaker 1: know who they were playing. I do not. I know

1358
01:08:00,680 --> 01:08:02,560
Speaker 1: who they're playing, but I'm not just gonna simply like

1359
01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:06,000
Speaker 1: like it was a step forward and Sequon Barkley or

1360
01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:08,720
Speaker 1: not win Gallman played Okay, they did not totally. They

1361
01:08:08,760 --> 01:08:11,200
Speaker 1: were not dead on the ground. This is a frisky

1362
01:08:11,280 --> 01:08:14,120
Speaker 1: Giants team. I'm scared if this is a VI if

1363
01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:17,679
Speaker 1: you're a fan, this is the it's the sample size.

1364
01:08:17,680 --> 01:08:20,200
Speaker 1: And that's why the Diggs wants out thing really was

1365
01:08:20,280 --> 01:08:23,320
Speaker 1: like what uh, He's had issues for a while. But

1366
01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:26,720
Speaker 1: let me say, let me just say Week one, Week

1367
01:08:26,800 --> 01:08:29,240
Speaker 1: one of the versus Atlanta, they ran the ball very

1368
01:08:29,280 --> 01:08:31,800
Speaker 1: well twenty eight points and put up easy win. Week

1369
01:08:31,920 --> 01:08:35,000
Speaker 1: three against the Raiders rocking Chair game thirty four fourteen,

1370
01:08:35,040 --> 01:08:37,719
Speaker 1: everything looked good. They've had two rocky games in between.

1371
01:08:38,200 --> 01:08:39,760
Speaker 1: But to act like this is some team that is

1372
01:08:39,800 --> 01:08:44,840
Speaker 1: in total crisis, they just need to see more. They

1373
01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:48,519
Speaker 1: are well above five hundred since Diggs got there. They

1374
01:08:48,640 --> 01:08:51,360
Speaker 1: pay their players well, I mean, what is the problem.

1375
01:08:51,400 --> 01:08:55,080
Speaker 1: He signed a deal last summer for forty million guaranteed.

1376
01:08:55,280 --> 01:08:58,519
Speaker 1: You're there, dude, stay there, And you know I went

1377
01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:01,240
Speaker 1: to coaches filmed this game because there's so much talk

1378
01:09:01,240 --> 01:09:03,760
Speaker 1: about Cousins. You know, play a little duck hunter on

1379
01:09:03,880 --> 01:09:06,880
Speaker 1: coaches film. Whoever pops open, you you shoot the duck.

1380
01:09:08,280 --> 01:09:10,360
Speaker 1: There aren't many ducks open in this game. They're just

1381
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:13,000
Speaker 1: and there aren't that many plays. They're running a lot

1382
01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:15,439
Speaker 1: of screens, they're calling run plays. What do you want

1383
01:09:15,520 --> 01:09:18,080
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins to do on those plays? There's there's like

1384
01:09:18,200 --> 01:09:23,559
Speaker 1: a backstory here where you know, zimmers taking little shots

1385
01:09:23,600 --> 01:09:25,840
Speaker 1: at digs over the years. He once said they kind

1386
01:09:25,840 --> 01:09:28,400
Speaker 1: of have like, you know, a bunch of team guys

1387
01:09:28,479 --> 01:09:30,720
Speaker 1: in one celebrity that was a couple of years ago.

1388
01:09:32,080 --> 01:09:34,320
Speaker 1: They call, well, they had a different offense back then.

1389
01:09:34,360 --> 01:09:36,479
Speaker 1: You're right. I'm not defending. I'm just saying I'm just

1390
01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:38,640
Speaker 1: trying to explain for context, like he missed some O

1391
01:09:38,800 --> 01:09:43,360
Speaker 1: t as this offseason and then um, they're tight end

1392
01:09:43,840 --> 01:09:46,080
Speaker 1: you call them out maybe for not being there. There's

1393
01:09:46,120 --> 01:09:47,800
Speaker 1: been talking like I don't I want to be there

1394
01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:50,880
Speaker 1: for my teammates when Diggs miss some O t A stuff.

1395
01:09:50,920 --> 01:09:54,760
Speaker 1: So it's been it's been boiling there for a little while,

1396
01:09:55,040 --> 01:09:57,040
Speaker 1: and yet I'm not really that worried about it. And

1397
01:09:57,160 --> 01:10:00,160
Speaker 1: sometimes a little. It feels like a squeaky wheel. It's

1398
01:10:00,160 --> 01:10:02,080
Speaker 1: the grease game, and they do go bombs away on

1399
01:10:02,160 --> 01:10:05,880
Speaker 1: this Giant. And when no matter how frisky you think

1400
01:10:05,920 --> 01:10:08,960
Speaker 1: the Giants defenses. Now, when you're going from the Chicago Bears,

1401
01:10:09,120 --> 01:10:11,800
Speaker 1: who looked like they broke the Vikings last week, to

1402
01:10:11,920 --> 01:10:14,120
Speaker 1: the New York Giants, this is gonna feel like open prairie.

1403
01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:17,599
Speaker 1: They I think their offense is right, their defense is bad.

1404
01:10:17,680 --> 01:10:20,320
Speaker 1: They just played a preseason offense. But their front is

1405
01:10:20,640 --> 01:10:23,040
Speaker 1: okay at stopping the run. They're really big. I mean

1406
01:10:23,120 --> 01:10:25,559
Speaker 1: they're the only team that has like a two pound

1407
01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:28,679
Speaker 1: defensive end trying to brush the pastor which does not work.

1408
01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:30,920
Speaker 1: Uh So this is the game you should be throwing

1409
01:10:30,960 --> 01:10:33,680
Speaker 1: the ball, not doing the Zimmer plan. And so I'm

1410
01:10:33,680 --> 01:10:35,759
Speaker 1: a little worried about that. But I think the Vikings

1411
01:10:35,880 --> 01:10:39,400
Speaker 1: defense is solid. I think Danny Dimes is fun to watch,

1412
01:10:39,560 --> 01:10:43,000
Speaker 1: makes quick decisions, he's calm, but he's gonna give both

1413
01:10:43,040 --> 01:10:45,920
Speaker 1: teams a chance there. I mean we sort of over

1414
01:10:46,360 --> 01:10:47,960
Speaker 1: you know, look the fact that he could have thrown

1415
01:10:48,040 --> 01:10:52,200
Speaker 1: four first half interceptions a week ago, and this is

1416
01:10:52,200 --> 01:10:54,599
Speaker 1: a tough matchup. They had eleven drives and they scored

1417
01:10:54,680 --> 01:10:58,080
Speaker 1: seventeen points against the Redskins defense. That's not too impressive.

1418
01:10:58,640 --> 01:11:00,519
Speaker 1: And that's why I'm gonna lock up of Vikings on

1419
01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:03,320
Speaker 1: the road. I like that. I like it solid luck.

1420
01:11:03,680 --> 01:11:05,880
Speaker 1: We'll see. I mean, you guys had me worried the

1421
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:10,599
Speaker 1: things that things are falling. I mean, why you should

1422
01:11:10,680 --> 01:11:13,040
Speaker 1: wait on the Vikings and then not wait, and then

1423
01:11:13,120 --> 01:11:14,760
Speaker 1: wait and then not wait, and then wait and then

1424
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:17,000
Speaker 1: not wait. There in eight and eight team, and they're

1425
01:11:17,000 --> 01:11:18,960
Speaker 1: gonna do this all season long. They're gonna be hanging

1426
01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:21,000
Speaker 1: around for a long time. But they're not at an

1427
01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:24,240
Speaker 1: eleven and five team. If they ever achieve that kind

1428
01:11:24,280 --> 01:11:27,120
Speaker 1: of a record, it's fraudulent. I'm not ready to give up.

1429
01:11:27,520 --> 01:11:29,280
Speaker 1: I know you're not. Why would it be fraudulent if

1430
01:11:29,280 --> 01:11:31,400
Speaker 1: they went eleven and five. I'm just saying it won't

1431
01:11:31,439 --> 01:11:33,320
Speaker 1: be what you get eleven and five teams that are

1432
01:11:33,360 --> 01:11:36,240
Speaker 1: not eleven win teams they have like if they can unseen,

1433
01:11:36,360 --> 01:11:38,280
Speaker 1: he says, them going nine and three of the rest

1434
01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:41,040
Speaker 1: of the way will be just luck. Well, you know,

1435
01:11:41,320 --> 01:11:43,560
Speaker 1: I just think that the offensive line stuff going on,

1436
01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:46,720
Speaker 1: it's not something you fix necessarily. I guess my point is,

1437
01:11:46,800 --> 01:11:49,280
Speaker 1: like it's four games, so the idea that no team

1438
01:11:49,320 --> 01:11:52,640
Speaker 1: can make adjustments can improve I I think that this

1439
01:11:52,840 --> 01:11:55,200
Speaker 1: is the still a team that could pull things together

1440
01:11:55,200 --> 01:11:57,759
Speaker 1: as long as it doesn't crumble from within. My biggest

1441
01:11:57,760 --> 01:11:59,920
Speaker 1: concern is not so much the slow start. It's all

1442
01:12:00,160 --> 01:12:03,720
Speaker 1: this potentially anti Kirk Cousins stuff behind the scenes with

1443
01:12:03,880 --> 01:12:06,439
Speaker 1: their star wide receivers and how that can implode a

1444
01:12:06,520 --> 01:12:09,640
Speaker 1: locker rooms and they I mean, the whole thing that,

1445
01:12:09,720 --> 01:12:14,799
Speaker 1: like Kirk Cousins has a podcast is apologizing the feeling

1446
01:12:14,840 --> 01:12:17,120
Speaker 1: on the podcast. I don't know the whole not one

1447
01:12:17,120 --> 01:12:19,439
Speaker 1: I want from my quarterback, the whole Kirk Cousins thing

1448
01:12:19,560 --> 01:12:22,240
Speaker 1: from day one. I think part of the February part

1449
01:12:22,280 --> 01:12:25,439
Speaker 1: of the reason why people have picked on Kirk, I

1450
01:12:25,560 --> 01:12:28,320
Speaker 1: think is because he feels like the type of leader

1451
01:12:28,400 --> 01:12:30,760
Speaker 1: who's always reading books about how to be a leader.

1452
01:12:31,800 --> 01:12:33,719
Speaker 1: Think what I mean. I think that's a fair criticism.

1453
01:12:33,800 --> 01:12:37,880
Speaker 1: That's not unfair. That's fat and he's playing timid and

1454
01:12:37,960 --> 01:12:40,640
Speaker 1: football players don't like timid. West. This is a This

1455
01:12:40,800 --> 01:12:43,880
Speaker 1: is a great Mr irrelevant game. There's nothing irrelevant about

1456
01:12:43,960 --> 01:12:46,280
Speaker 1: this game. This is the game I wanted this like

1457
01:12:46,400 --> 01:12:49,320
Speaker 1: eight picks ago close it out. We got a Midwest

1458
01:12:49,400 --> 01:12:54,320
Speaker 1: game tratrol Grass. Yes, the Buffalo, but the Titans aren't

1459
01:12:54,320 --> 01:12:56,760
Speaker 1: pulling me back in yet. It's gonna take a long time.

1460
01:12:57,120 --> 01:12:59,679
Speaker 1: But the Bills never lost move this a Midwest. Titans

1461
01:12:59,720 --> 01:13:02,280
Speaker 1: are in the Midwest. Do you know where in Nashville is?

1462
01:13:02,320 --> 01:13:03,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't I hear what you're saying, but

1463
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:06,200
Speaker 1: we never heard the na the Midwest too. No, I

1464
01:13:06,280 --> 01:13:10,200
Speaker 1: can't take this is getting ridiculous now, I just want

1465
01:13:10,320 --> 01:13:14,240
Speaker 1: it is the I hear what you're saying. It's it's

1466
01:13:14,360 --> 01:13:18,439
Speaker 1: right in the middle of the country. It's the work

1467
01:13:18,520 --> 01:13:20,960
Speaker 1: at a map. Greg. Here, here's the thing about the

1468
01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:23,360
Speaker 1: Midwest has two parts to it. It's got the mid

1469
01:13:24,880 --> 01:13:27,240
Speaker 1: you could argue that in some ways it's like middle

1470
01:13:27,439 --> 01:13:29,840
Speaker 1: upper down. But then there there is the West and

1471
01:13:29,960 --> 01:13:31,880
Speaker 1: it's in the eastern time zone, so it does not

1472
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:34,479
Speaker 1: have it does not qualify for the western portion of

1473
01:13:34,520 --> 01:13:37,800
Speaker 1: the Red West. There is only a west where the

1474
01:13:37,880 --> 01:13:41,680
Speaker 1: mountains start and that geography changes. That's the western part

1475
01:13:41,720 --> 01:13:45,919
Speaker 1: of the United States. That's there is no like Iowa

1476
01:13:46,160 --> 01:13:49,759
Speaker 1: is west West. So there's the problem. The Census Bureau

1477
01:13:50,040 --> 01:13:53,080
Speaker 1: disagrees with you, but I understand. I know you don't

1478
01:13:53,120 --> 01:13:57,240
Speaker 1: cook at the geography of America. I'm just rolling that out. Ladies.

1479
01:13:57,600 --> 01:14:01,040
Speaker 1: Let's just take a second here, and let's just mark,

1480
01:14:01,840 --> 01:14:04,640
Speaker 1: let's just breathe for a second, right, everybody West taken in.

1481
01:14:05,720 --> 01:14:08,400
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just a ridiculous statement by West. Okay,

1482
01:14:08,479 --> 01:14:10,559
Speaker 1: this is the weirdest hot take I've ever seen. It's

1483
01:14:10,560 --> 01:14:13,280
Speaker 1: not even a hot take. That Mountain Nashville is the

1484
01:14:13,360 --> 01:14:17,559
Speaker 1: West Mountain. Here's the map. I mean, it's much closer

1485
01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:20,559
Speaker 1: to the east than it is to the west. It's

1486
01:14:20,680 --> 01:14:24,479
Speaker 1: further west in Cincinnati, which I grew up. That's back

1487
01:14:24,520 --> 01:14:27,360
Speaker 1: on track here, we got all the maps out. This

1488
01:14:27,560 --> 01:14:30,439
Speaker 1: is this is outrageous. You think you think Titans, uh,

1489
01:14:30,920 --> 01:14:36,760
Speaker 1: you think Titans Bills is gonna top this argument for Tytoons.

1490
01:14:36,840 --> 01:14:39,800
Speaker 1: Tytoons are back and flying high west right now, and

1491
01:14:39,880 --> 01:14:43,280
Speaker 1: tell her little Wand's back. But here comes the Buffalo Bills.

1492
01:14:43,479 --> 01:14:47,800
Speaker 1: The Buffalo Bills and Tremaine Edmonds, another guy who has

1493
01:14:47,880 --> 01:14:50,599
Speaker 1: made to leap their middle linebacker. I find myself watching

1494
01:14:50,680 --> 01:14:54,080
Speaker 1: him every plane. Now. I still like this defense. I

1495
01:14:54,160 --> 01:14:57,080
Speaker 1: know they're gonna be playing. Is Josh Allen Plaine or not.

1496
01:14:57,920 --> 01:15:00,799
Speaker 1: He's still in concussion protocol out of think he's trending

1497
01:15:00,840 --> 01:15:04,439
Speaker 1: towards it, because when the concussion guys are practicing, that

1498
01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:07,040
Speaker 1: usually means they're through step four and then they officially

1499
01:15:07,200 --> 01:15:09,799
Speaker 1: passed step five Friday afternoon, So I think they're expecting

1500
01:15:09,840 --> 01:15:12,360
Speaker 1: him to play. I think that the unit I trust

1501
01:15:12,439 --> 01:15:15,280
Speaker 1: most in this game is the Buffalo Bills defense more

1502
01:15:15,360 --> 01:15:17,599
Speaker 1: than the Titans defense. I think they are a better

1503
01:15:17,720 --> 01:15:21,479
Speaker 1: version of the Titans defense. M I agree Matt if

1504
01:15:21,520 --> 01:15:24,120
Speaker 1: it is Matt Barkley, and it seems like the reporters

1505
01:15:24,160 --> 01:15:28,320
Speaker 1: are putting things closer to I do not like Buffalo's shot.

1506
01:15:28,400 --> 01:15:30,599
Speaker 1: I didn't like what I saw from that Barkley at all,

1507
01:15:31,160 --> 01:15:32,640
Speaker 1: and I know that was you want to talk a

1508
01:15:32,720 --> 01:15:35,360
Speaker 1: tough assignment. So it's kind of unfair to say, oh, well,

1509
01:15:35,360 --> 01:15:38,120
Speaker 1: he came into the middle of the game against arguably

1510
01:15:38,160 --> 01:15:40,720
Speaker 1: the best defense in football. But does he does he

1511
01:15:40,760 --> 01:15:43,280
Speaker 1: a guy that wins games on the road. No. I

1512
01:15:43,360 --> 01:15:46,559
Speaker 1: think he's a less less athletic Ryan Fitzpatrick, he'll throw

1513
01:15:46,640 --> 01:15:49,760
Speaker 1: the ball up. He has for ERA adjusted stats. He

1514
01:15:49,840 --> 01:15:52,960
Speaker 1: has the second highest interception rting history, behind Nathan Peter.

1515
01:15:54,680 --> 01:15:58,960
Speaker 1: He's worse than Josh Allen. Yes, but you know they're

1516
01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:02,439
Speaker 1: not winning the waiting. They're not waiting through quarterback play

1517
01:16:02,520 --> 01:16:05,960
Speaker 1: as it is. I mean, Josh, I don't think they

1518
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:08,600
Speaker 1: were the best. You know, the Patriots defense wasn't the

1519
01:16:08,640 --> 01:16:11,200
Speaker 1: best defense, and on that field, the Bills defense right now,

1520
01:16:11,280 --> 01:16:14,880
Speaker 1: to me, is better it it. It totally shut down

1521
01:16:15,120 --> 01:16:19,400
Speaker 1: a vastly superior opposition last Sunday, and there's no weaknesses

1522
01:16:19,479 --> 01:16:21,320
Speaker 1: in that Bills defense. I think though it's easy to

1523
01:16:21,400 --> 01:16:24,559
Speaker 1: overlook the Titans defense, which has allowed twenty points only

1524
01:16:24,680 --> 01:16:28,479
Speaker 1: once all year. They absolutely made life a nightmare for

1525
01:16:28,600 --> 01:16:32,599
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan last week. They're getting pressure there. Every level

1526
01:16:32,720 --> 01:16:36,439
Speaker 1: has talent. They're at home in the Midwest to host

1527
01:16:36,520 --> 01:16:40,519
Speaker 1: the Bills here, so you know, a Bill's offensive, even

1528
01:16:40,560 --> 01:16:43,680
Speaker 1: with or without Josh Allen, cannot climb out of a

1529
01:16:43,800 --> 01:16:46,840
Speaker 1: deficit with explosive plays. They don't have that in their arsenal.

1530
01:16:46,960 --> 01:16:48,400
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to run the ball a ton and

1531
01:16:48,520 --> 01:16:51,400
Speaker 1: run its successfully. I think there's a big advantage for

1532
01:16:51,439 --> 01:16:54,120
Speaker 1: the Titans, and I don't mean that that means that

1533
01:16:54,360 --> 01:16:56,800
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariotto and A. A. J. Brown have to go off,

1534
01:16:56,840 --> 01:16:59,320
Speaker 1: which they seem to do once every third or fourth game.

1535
01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:03,400
Speaker 1: Looks like Evan Singletary will return which is big because they,

1536
01:17:03,560 --> 01:17:06,040
Speaker 1: like you said, they need playmakers. Although my boy, Frank Gore,

1537
01:17:06,479 --> 01:17:08,120
Speaker 1: we don't even talk about him anymore. We just take

1538
01:17:08,200 --> 01:17:11,080
Speaker 1: his greatness for granted. He's been over fifteen thousand yards

1539
01:17:11,120 --> 01:17:13,360
Speaker 1: some some big places last week, and Jordan Poyer and

1540
01:17:13,400 --> 01:17:16,160
Speaker 1: Micah Hyde might be there's some good safety tandems out

1541
01:17:16,200 --> 01:17:19,080
Speaker 1: there this year, but they are up there right now.

1542
01:17:19,400 --> 01:17:21,559
Speaker 1: Hide his ranked number one and be in PFF. There

1543
01:17:21,640 --> 01:17:23,960
Speaker 1: was a two play sequence in that Patriots game where

1544
01:17:24,080 --> 01:17:27,280
Speaker 1: Poyer just stuffed Sony Michelle. It was a total one

1545
01:17:27,320 --> 01:17:30,280
Speaker 1: on one matchup at the goal line at Michelle probably

1546
01:17:30,280 --> 01:17:33,160
Speaker 1: should have scored on and players stuffed him. And then

1547
01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:36,519
Speaker 1: the next play Hide confuses Tom Brady and picks him

1548
01:17:36,520 --> 01:17:38,360
Speaker 1: off in the end zone. Those two guys have been awesome.

1549
01:17:38,880 --> 01:17:42,240
Speaker 1: I'm watching you. Marcus Mariotta. You know you've had some

1550
01:17:42,439 --> 01:17:45,639
Speaker 1: moments this year so far. You have no turnovers zero

1551
01:17:46,080 --> 01:17:49,120
Speaker 1: through four games, your passer ratings over a hundred. You've

1552
01:17:49,160 --> 01:17:52,360
Speaker 1: had some shiny moments, you've had some not so shiny moments. Well,

1553
01:17:52,760 --> 01:17:55,439
Speaker 1: here's a nice little chance to make a statement, greg

1554
01:17:56,120 --> 01:17:59,519
Speaker 1: in your building against a defense everyone acknowledges is one

1555
01:17:59,560 --> 01:18:02,040
Speaker 1: of the NFL is best. Absolutely, take a name. What

1556
01:18:02,160 --> 01:18:04,040
Speaker 1: if it's I feel like the final score is gonna

1557
01:18:04,040 --> 01:18:06,560
Speaker 1: be thirteen to twelve no matter who wins. So I

1558
01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:09,519
Speaker 1: don't know what statement that would not be a statement.

1559
01:18:09,640 --> 01:18:11,880
Speaker 1: Those are pretty stats from Marcus Mariotta, and yet he

1560
01:18:12,280 --> 01:18:15,880
Speaker 1: feels entirely unremarkable in yankable for Ryan fits front Ryan

1561
01:18:15,960 --> 01:18:18,920
Speaker 1: Tannehill at any moment. So he does have those pretty stats.

1562
01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:21,559
Speaker 1: Where do you stand on him? Dan, since you're monitoring him,

1563
01:18:21,680 --> 01:18:25,280
Speaker 1: I'm monitors, like, okay, you know what I'm I'm watching,

1564
01:18:25,760 --> 01:18:27,759
Speaker 1: I'm watching. I'm not ready to give up. The numbers

1565
01:18:27,800 --> 01:18:29,439
Speaker 1: are good right now. He needs to do it a

1566
01:18:29,520 --> 01:18:32,439
Speaker 1: lot more. Undeniably, the numbers are good. Is he passing

1567
01:18:32,520 --> 01:18:36,519
Speaker 1: the eye test is exactly enough? It was like, I

1568
01:18:36,560 --> 01:18:40,439
Speaker 1: don't know, you think you've made this big progress? Lights

1569
01:18:40,520 --> 01:18:42,000
Speaker 1: him up in the first half and then they don't

1570
01:18:42,000 --> 01:18:45,160
Speaker 1: score after halftime. That's kind of the tight career ranks

1571
01:18:45,280 --> 01:18:50,080
Speaker 1: through four weeks. Uh number one yards for attempt, seven touchdown,

1572
01:18:50,160 --> 01:18:53,599
Speaker 1: those no interceptions. A message message mentioned the passer rating

1573
01:18:54,160 --> 01:18:56,599
Speaker 1: his passing plus yardage per game. These are all career

1574
01:18:56,680 --> 01:18:59,880
Speaker 1: best ranks, so statistically, he's taking a step so far

1575
01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:02,120
Speaker 1: this season. Yet they are two and two with two

1576
01:19:02,200 --> 01:19:06,000
Speaker 1: really good performances and two really bad performances. So it's

1577
01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:08,080
Speaker 1: still you're kind of in the twilight throw pick when

1578
01:19:08,080 --> 01:19:10,840
Speaker 1: you just hold the ball and get sacked. The rear

1579
01:19:10,960 --> 01:19:13,919
Speaker 1: ranks means something different for Ryan Tannehill. In other quarterbacks,

1580
01:19:13,960 --> 01:19:17,200
Speaker 1: he has totals of nineteen thirteen and eleven touchdowns in

1581
01:19:17,280 --> 01:19:20,479
Speaker 1: other seasons. He has never been a great statistical quarterback,

1582
01:19:20,600 --> 01:19:23,560
Speaker 1: that is for sure. All Right, any other thoughts on

1583
01:19:23,600 --> 01:19:26,640
Speaker 1: this game was before we move up? Alright, let's hit

1584
01:19:26,720 --> 01:19:32,800
Speaker 1: Sunday night football. Indianapolis Colts traveling to Arrowheads Stadium to

1585
01:19:33,240 --> 01:19:37,280
Speaker 1: meet the Kansas City Chiefs. I feel like it's a

1586
01:19:37,400 --> 01:19:39,360
Speaker 1: game that Greg is gonna be really excited. And you're

1587
01:19:39,400 --> 01:19:41,680
Speaker 1: excited about all games, Greg, but this one. I think

1588
01:19:41,920 --> 01:19:44,040
Speaker 1: you think Jake Briscot is gonna step up and open

1589
01:19:44,080 --> 01:19:45,679
Speaker 1: some eyes here, don't. I think it's a great week

1590
01:19:45,760 --> 01:19:51,479
Speaker 1: of games. But you're I mean Raven, I mean I'm

1591
01:19:51,520 --> 01:19:55,200
Speaker 1: taking Raven Steelers Packers. Uh. The Monday night games amazing,

1592
01:19:56,120 --> 01:19:58,120
Speaker 1: Tampa say, there's a lot of great games, but the

1593
01:19:58,280 --> 01:20:01,240
Speaker 1: cults right now, you know something, if you look at PFF,

1594
01:20:02,160 --> 01:20:04,800
Speaker 1: depending on the scoring system, you use like they have

1595
01:20:04,880 --> 01:20:08,160
Speaker 1: a plus or minus rating. There are a team that's

1596
01:20:08,200 --> 01:20:11,000
Speaker 1: all right around zero. Like their defense, they're all right

1597
01:20:11,040 --> 01:20:14,000
Speaker 1: around zero. They're not They're all they're not gonna hurt you.

1598
01:20:14,439 --> 01:20:17,200
Speaker 1: They're not helping you that much. They're not putting a

1599
01:20:17,280 --> 01:20:20,080
Speaker 1: lot on the table there. They don't have playmakers on

1600
01:20:20,160 --> 01:20:22,640
Speaker 1: either side of the ball. When t Y Hilton has hurt,

1601
01:20:22,720 --> 01:20:25,439
Speaker 1: Marlon Mack is a little banged up. Should be playing today,

1602
01:20:25,439 --> 01:20:28,200
Speaker 1: it looks like on Sunday. So he returned to practice

1603
01:20:28,600 --> 01:20:31,880
Speaker 1: to practice, which which is huge. And Mac did finish

1604
01:20:31,920 --> 01:20:34,040
Speaker 1: out that game for the most part. Or they said

1605
01:20:34,080 --> 01:20:36,679
Speaker 1: it wasn't injury related, so that would give them a chance.

1606
01:20:36,880 --> 01:20:40,679
Speaker 1: Watching the Chiefs any week is exciting, but the Colts

1607
01:20:40,920 --> 01:20:43,720
Speaker 1: don't feel like they have a lot of firepower. I

1608
01:20:43,800 --> 01:20:46,040
Speaker 1: still like watching like I like what they're doing, but

1609
01:20:46,120 --> 01:20:48,040
Speaker 1: they're not as fun to watch as I was hoping.

1610
01:20:48,160 --> 01:20:50,000
Speaker 1: I mean that Raiders, they didn't move the ball very

1611
01:20:50,040 --> 01:20:52,320
Speaker 1: well through the air last week. The Colts, there's no

1612
01:20:52,400 --> 01:20:56,880
Speaker 1: doubt about that. Definitely sensed no t Y Hilton playing

1613
01:20:56,880 --> 01:21:03,040
Speaker 1: a big role in brissette struggles. Marlon Mac Chiefs defense,

1614
01:21:04,320 --> 01:21:07,599
Speaker 1: he's playing. I think he's got a new injury, it's

1615
01:21:07,600 --> 01:21:10,679
Speaker 1: to his ankle, that offense goes for him. That's Kansas

1616
01:21:10,720 --> 01:21:13,400
Speaker 1: City at home on Sunday night, you know, and it's

1617
01:21:13,520 --> 01:21:15,679
Speaker 1: this is two different teams. But we're not that many

1618
01:21:15,720 --> 01:21:19,080
Speaker 1: months removed from Kansas City thumping the Cults big time

1619
01:21:19,160 --> 01:21:22,280
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Does do they match up well? And

1620
01:21:23,520 --> 01:21:26,360
Speaker 1: no one, No one matches up to their The Chief's

1621
01:21:26,400 --> 01:21:29,640
Speaker 1: offense to be just about not in And that's I

1622
01:21:29,680 --> 01:21:31,880
Speaker 1: guess that was my point. But to my point earlier,

1623
01:21:31,920 --> 01:21:34,080
Speaker 1: sometimes blow it's are fun to watch, and Patrick Mahomes

1624
01:21:34,160 --> 01:21:36,160
Speaker 1: is fun to watch in prime time in just about

1625
01:21:36,160 --> 01:21:38,960
Speaker 1: any game. So it's even if it's not that close,

1626
01:21:39,360 --> 01:21:41,200
Speaker 1: I think it'll be fine. I do think the Chief's defense,

1627
01:21:41,240 --> 01:21:44,720
Speaker 1: despite being thirty their eighteenth and efficiency, some of that is.

1628
01:21:45,840 --> 01:21:47,760
Speaker 1: Some of that is, you know, there's a lot of possessions.

1629
01:21:47,800 --> 01:21:51,320
Speaker 1: Those games get up. They've played pretty good offensive opponents.

1630
01:21:51,320 --> 01:21:53,040
Speaker 1: I do think they're a little better overall. But Frank

1631
01:21:53,080 --> 01:21:55,000
Speaker 1: Clark has been a huge disappointment. That trade has been

1632
01:21:55,000 --> 01:21:58,120
Speaker 1: a disaster so far. Emmanuel Agba, who they signed for,

1633
01:21:58,800 --> 01:22:00,880
Speaker 1: you know, a fraction of them is playing a lot

1634
01:22:00,960 --> 01:22:03,439
Speaker 1: better than Frank Clarks. We just showed that play where

1635
01:22:03,640 --> 01:22:06,560
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey flipped the ball hook and ladder style to

1636
01:22:06,720 --> 01:22:10,519
Speaker 1: Shady McCoy and Marcus Grant said that was like jazz music,

1637
01:22:10,760 --> 01:22:13,200
Speaker 1: and the Chief's offense kind of is like that. It's

1638
01:22:13,240 --> 01:22:15,920
Speaker 1: when you're so fundamentally sound and having so much fun

1639
01:22:16,680 --> 01:22:18,519
Speaker 1: that your mind and body start to go outside and

1640
01:22:18,560 --> 01:22:20,559
Speaker 1: play a while. And you see that with the Chiefs.

1641
01:22:20,560 --> 01:22:22,680
Speaker 1: They're just like, let's just start playing and having fun. Right,

1642
01:22:22,720 --> 01:22:25,559
Speaker 1: all these teams still in the in their preseason in September,

1643
01:22:25,600 --> 01:22:28,000
Speaker 1: The Chiefs were not in a preseason. I believe that

1644
01:22:28,080 --> 01:22:30,360
Speaker 1: play happened on the final touchdown drive as well. Right,

1645
01:22:31,240 --> 01:22:33,800
Speaker 1: it sounds right, have the double check that, but they Yeah,

1646
01:22:33,920 --> 01:22:36,840
Speaker 1: that show is just the looseness and confidence they played

1647
01:22:36,880 --> 01:22:39,120
Speaker 1: the way they played by the way not washed up.

1648
01:22:39,320 --> 01:22:41,880
Speaker 1: He looks fine. I'm not saying he's a game breaker,

1649
01:22:42,360 --> 01:22:45,559
Speaker 1: but he is getting five to five point three yards

1650
01:22:45,600 --> 01:22:48,000
Speaker 1: per carry. He's he's doing what he needs to do there.

1651
01:22:48,560 --> 01:22:51,520
Speaker 1: All right, let's move to Monday night football. The Cleveland

1652
01:22:51,600 --> 01:22:57,439
Speaker 1: Browns two and two after that great win in Baltimore. Well,

1653
01:22:57,479 --> 01:22:59,839
Speaker 1: now they hit the road to play the San Francisco

1654
01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:02,639
Speaker 1: warty Niners, who got that dreaded early by. But before

1655
01:23:02,720 --> 01:23:05,759
Speaker 1: that early By they had won all three of their games,

1656
01:23:06,200 --> 01:23:10,599
Speaker 1: their defense playing really well, and um Mark Baker Mayfield

1657
01:23:10,760 --> 01:23:14,120
Speaker 1: had his way in and Nick Chubb had his way

1658
01:23:14,439 --> 01:23:16,759
Speaker 1: with the Ravens defense. That is trying to figure themselves

1659
01:23:16,800 --> 01:23:20,200
Speaker 1: out right now the Niners defense they have, they are

1660
01:23:20,280 --> 01:23:22,960
Speaker 1: not trying to figure themselves out. This is a good team.

1661
01:23:23,200 --> 01:23:25,320
Speaker 1: There's a great defense and a very fresh team coming

1662
01:23:25,360 --> 01:23:28,560
Speaker 1: off of by challenge. A totally different matchup in in

1663
01:23:28,920 --> 01:23:32,479
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. You know, after three games of everyone questioning

1664
01:23:32,520 --> 01:23:35,760
Speaker 1: everything about his play and is he actually the guy?

1665
01:23:35,880 --> 01:23:38,679
Speaker 1: And is he regressing? And can you read defenses looked

1666
01:23:38,760 --> 01:23:41,200
Speaker 1: better when Baltimore couldn't really put a lot of pressure

1667
01:23:41,240 --> 01:23:44,400
Speaker 1: on him. He's still doing Baker Mayfield things. But now

1668
01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:48,200
Speaker 1: to me, you got the matchup of Cleveland's offensive line

1669
01:23:48,240 --> 01:23:52,559
Speaker 1: still still suspect against Nick Boscott, d Ford, Eric Armstead

1670
01:23:52,600 --> 01:23:55,800
Speaker 1: DeForrest Buckner. You've got Kwan Alexander in there. On the

1671
01:23:55,840 --> 01:23:59,799
Speaker 1: flip side, Jimmy g has to deal with Joe Staley

1672
01:24:00,600 --> 01:24:04,320
Speaker 1: offensive line going against Miles Garrett, Olivier, Vernon, Sheldon Richardson,

1673
01:24:04,600 --> 01:24:07,000
Speaker 1: Larry Ogunjobi. So I think this is one of these

1674
01:24:07,080 --> 01:24:10,040
Speaker 1: games that, barring something out of the ordinary, might be

1675
01:24:10,720 --> 01:24:14,360
Speaker 1: relatively low scoring if these two great defensive lines can

1676
01:24:14,479 --> 01:24:18,599
Speaker 1: keep the offenses in check. I believe in their their

1677
01:24:18,680 --> 01:24:21,120
Speaker 1: defensive line or defensive front the forty niners, But I

1678
01:24:21,160 --> 01:24:23,760
Speaker 1: think the rest of the team, we don't really know

1679
01:24:23,880 --> 01:24:25,880
Speaker 1: how good they are because they've beaten three teams with

1680
01:24:25,920 --> 01:24:28,000
Speaker 1: a combined two and eight record, and they've turned the

1681
01:24:28,080 --> 01:24:31,360
Speaker 1: ball over a ton on offense, just haven't paid for

1682
01:24:31,479 --> 01:24:33,960
Speaker 1: it yet five times against the Steelers. Yeah, they're one

1683
01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:37,000
Speaker 1: of those teams that we just have to see more.

1684
01:24:37,160 --> 01:24:39,559
Speaker 1: I mean we It's almost true for every team, including

1685
01:24:39,600 --> 01:24:42,479
Speaker 1: including the Browns. Like I didn't. I didn't come out

1686
01:24:42,520 --> 01:24:45,559
Speaker 1: of that game thinking they solved everything because they get

1687
01:24:45,680 --> 01:24:48,960
Speaker 1: four plays I think that combined for almost three hundred yards,

1688
01:24:49,000 --> 01:24:51,400
Speaker 1: and they were good. You know, they were good individual plays.

1689
01:24:51,439 --> 01:24:54,719
Speaker 1: They have the individual talent to just have a different

1690
01:24:54,760 --> 01:24:57,200
Speaker 1: guy pop off and dominate in any given week. And

1691
01:24:57,280 --> 01:24:59,920
Speaker 1: that's not a bad recipe, you know, if they can

1692
01:25:00,040 --> 01:25:01,800
Speaker 1: turn the play calling around. But it wasn't like an

1693
01:25:01,840 --> 01:25:05,320
Speaker 1: in rhythm. Hey we're just rolling on offense. But the

1694
01:25:05,400 --> 01:25:07,960
Speaker 1: defense is so consistent that you're right, Mark, Like I

1695
01:25:08,000 --> 01:25:11,160
Speaker 1: would be shocked if this game gets in the mid twenties,

1696
01:25:11,240 --> 01:25:12,800
Speaker 1: like I think this is in the teens. This is

1697
01:25:12,840 --> 01:25:15,640
Speaker 1: a defensive game. Turnover luck is a funny thing in

1698
01:25:15,720 --> 01:25:19,000
Speaker 1: the NFL, and the Services forty Niners are the ultimate example.

1699
01:25:19,600 --> 01:25:22,439
Speaker 1: They have seven turnovers through three games. They had seven

1700
01:25:22,520 --> 01:25:25,439
Speaker 1: all of the last season, and their defense is playing

1701
01:25:25,479 --> 01:25:26,960
Speaker 1: better this year, but a lot of that is just

1702
01:25:27,040 --> 01:25:29,120
Speaker 1: the way the ball bounces sometimes. That's something to keep

1703
01:25:29,120 --> 01:25:31,360
Speaker 1: in mind that they've had a nose for the ball,

1704
01:25:31,479 --> 01:25:34,120
Speaker 1: because that seems strangely to also then carry over as

1705
01:25:34,160 --> 01:25:36,920
Speaker 1: the season goes on. Uh. The other part of the

1706
01:25:37,000 --> 01:25:39,720
Speaker 1: game for them is their running game, which they have

1707
01:25:39,840 --> 01:25:44,760
Speaker 1: two guys in Brita and Rahim who are over five

1708
01:25:44,840 --> 01:25:47,720
Speaker 1: yards of carry breed to five and a half yards. Uh,

1709
01:25:48,000 --> 01:25:49,800
Speaker 1: most art is that any saying here? Yeah? I mean

1710
01:25:49,880 --> 01:25:53,320
Speaker 1: they were beating up the almost six yards and they

1711
01:25:53,360 --> 01:25:55,920
Speaker 1: are ranked they entered week four when they hit thereby

1712
01:25:56,080 --> 01:25:57,960
Speaker 1: ranked fourth in the league and rushing so they can

1713
01:25:58,040 --> 01:26:00,920
Speaker 1: run the football, the defense and get after it and

1714
01:26:01,160 --> 01:26:03,479
Speaker 1: it's just no matter then is Jimmy g gonna continue

1715
01:26:03,520 --> 01:26:09,439
Speaker 1: to make progress if that Happensastic fantastic. What a great

1716
01:26:09,479 --> 01:26:12,400
Speaker 1: Monday night game. Two teams that are have have a

1717
01:26:12,439 --> 01:26:15,439
Speaker 1: lot of little stars have good you know, intrigue, and

1718
01:26:15,520 --> 01:26:17,840
Speaker 1: you don't really know about Tevin Coleman's returning, so I

1719
01:26:17,920 --> 01:26:22,600
Speaker 1: think he'll get into that running back mix. Two quarterbacks

1720
01:26:22,680 --> 01:26:25,519
Speaker 1: who kind of have had similar ish seasons. I mean,

1721
01:26:25,600 --> 01:26:28,479
Speaker 1: Baker I think has played better, but you know where

1722
01:26:28,520 --> 01:26:31,960
Speaker 1: they're not necessarily processing super But you could say it's

1723
01:26:32,000 --> 01:26:34,720
Speaker 1: the most hyped quarterback of two off seasons ago, with

1724
01:26:34,840 --> 01:26:38,759
Speaker 1: Jimmy g Verse the most hyped quarterback of this past season,

1725
01:26:38,920 --> 01:26:42,240
Speaker 1: and Odell will all be on airplanes. One last one

1726
01:26:42,360 --> 01:26:44,360
Speaker 1: last note that Odell Beckham, who did not have a

1727
01:26:44,400 --> 01:26:47,880
Speaker 1: big role in last week's game, uh primetime game. Is

1728
01:26:47,960 --> 01:26:50,400
Speaker 1: this a perfect spot for him to blow up? Or

1729
01:26:50,560 --> 01:26:52,200
Speaker 1: is it a game where he kind of disappears a

1730
01:26:52,200 --> 01:26:54,840
Speaker 1: little bit? Would that start to become a storyline if

1731
01:26:55,080 --> 01:26:57,479
Speaker 1: Beckham is not a part of this offense, does he

1732
01:26:57,560 --> 01:27:03,200
Speaker 1: get disenfranchised? Servis Landry is in concussion protocol as of Thursday,

1733
01:27:03,320 --> 01:27:05,960
Speaker 1: so they might need o'della to play a bigger role regardless.

1734
01:27:06,479 --> 01:27:10,759
Speaker 1: All right, good stuff, all right, A little later tonight Thursday,

1735
01:27:10,840 --> 01:27:14,080
Speaker 1: you'll hear as I said earlier the Thursday night recap,

1736
01:27:14,479 --> 01:27:17,880
Speaker 1: and then Sunday we'll be back recapping all the games

1737
01:27:17,960 --> 01:27:20,679
Speaker 1: we just previewed. How about that it's just the wheel.

1738
01:27:20,720 --> 01:27:24,439
Speaker 1: The wheel goes round and round, Ricky, I'm I'm on

1739
01:27:24,560 --> 01:27:26,799
Speaker 1: the fence right now about whether we want to continue

1740
01:27:26,920 --> 01:27:29,960
Speaker 1: with you doing the personal snake sound drops or if

1741
01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:31,880
Speaker 1: we want to have something proper in there that shows

1742
01:27:31,920 --> 01:27:34,560
Speaker 1: some you know, dedication to the craft and all that.

1743
01:27:34,880 --> 01:27:37,120
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I can try to download another drop

1744
01:27:37,200 --> 01:27:38,920
Speaker 1: if you didn't like the one that I It's not

1745
01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:41,320
Speaker 1: that I don't like it, it's a principal thing. Maybe

1746
01:27:41,360 --> 01:27:42,680
Speaker 1: what do you guys think? I mean, it was what

1747
01:27:42,840 --> 01:27:46,240
Speaker 1: I upside, It was a little different each time because

1748
01:27:46,320 --> 01:27:48,160
Speaker 1: you were doing it on the spot, and I thought

1749
01:27:48,200 --> 01:27:49,960
Speaker 1: that she did an adequate We could have gotten someone

1750
01:27:50,000 --> 01:27:52,320
Speaker 1: in that's doing a wrong type. Boy, isn't Eddie Eddie

1751
01:27:52,360 --> 01:27:54,920
Speaker 1: Spaghetti's producing our podcast when we get back from London,

1752
01:27:54,960 --> 01:27:57,160
Speaker 1: so we could give him a shot doing the big

1753
01:27:57,240 --> 01:28:02,519
Speaker 1: chair the snake snake sound Yeah. Um Like, like I said,

1754
01:28:02,640 --> 01:28:07,040
Speaker 1: you guys, I really appreciate the you know, positive criticism,

1755
01:28:07,800 --> 01:28:10,120
Speaker 1: but unfortunately I can only do what I'm given with

1756
01:28:10,200 --> 01:28:14,439
Speaker 1: our our library, So deductive criticism, Yeah, I appreciate it. Um.

1757
01:28:14,520 --> 01:28:19,200
Speaker 1: I wouldn't called positive. Well, you know, we love you.

1758
01:28:19,400 --> 01:28:22,240
Speaker 1: I'm from the Midwest, so I don't I don't know

1759
01:28:22,320 --> 01:28:25,120
Speaker 1: the difference West. One of your low moments in the

1760
01:28:25,200 --> 01:28:28,720
Speaker 1: history of the show. Please, how is it that I

1761
01:28:28,760 --> 01:28:31,080
Speaker 1: grew up in Cincinnati. The whole whole state of Ohio

1762
01:28:31,280 --> 01:28:35,640
Speaker 1: defines itself as Midwest. Nashville is more western than Cincinnati,

1763
01:28:36,200 --> 01:28:38,200
Speaker 1: and yet you're telling me it's too far east here.

1764
01:28:38,280 --> 01:28:41,080
Speaker 1: This feels like something we should ask the people from Nashville.

1765
01:28:41,400 --> 01:28:43,679
Speaker 1: They should decide. Well, of course they're going to claim South.

1766
01:28:43,880 --> 01:28:46,719
Speaker 1: The Census Bureau is telling you, I don't care about

1767
01:28:46,720 --> 01:28:50,320
Speaker 1: the census. Well, they are an official government, man. You

1768
01:28:50,439 --> 01:28:55,080
Speaker 1: work for the post Office. You respect the government, our

1769
01:28:55,200 --> 01:28:59,840
Speaker 1: government lately, all right, I got it before we signed

1770
01:29:00,439 --> 01:29:03,479
Speaker 1: one moment. I mean you're telling that, yeah, the bright,

1771
01:29:03,680 --> 01:29:06,800
Speaker 1: happy people from Nashville that you know better for them

1772
01:29:07,040 --> 01:29:08,640
Speaker 1: than they. First of all, you haven't even heard from

1773
01:29:08,680 --> 01:29:11,200
Speaker 1: them yet. They're going to claim the South because of

1774
01:29:11,600 --> 01:29:14,519
Speaker 1: everything about the heritage. You know, we lost the Civil War,

1775
01:29:14,600 --> 01:29:16,400
Speaker 1: but we still like to think we're from the South

1776
01:29:16,560 --> 01:29:19,439
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. But they're in Tornado Alley, They're

1777
01:29:19,520 --> 01:29:23,120
Speaker 1: right there in the Midwest. Um, what's a different geographic location.

1778
01:29:23,200 --> 01:29:25,880
Speaker 1: That's Tornado Alley. We're not talking about Tornado Alley is

1779
01:29:25,920 --> 01:29:29,200
Speaker 1: in the Midwest. Program note. Uh cool. Note for the
