Speaker 2: wait to show this thing off on game day. Rich

17
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 2: I was at the game last night, Sunday night, having

18
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 2: the time of my life. This thing right here, guys,

19
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 2: this is a unique piece. You guys gotta go check

20
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 2: it out.

21
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: Man.

22
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,279
Speaker 2: Our friends over at Brightling, Richard, I know we're pumped

23
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 2: to have them be partners of this show man, we

24
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 2: got we gotta get right into things here, though, rich

25
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 2: I know you're they're doing all right. I know you're

26
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 2: pumped up. After San Francisco lays down the hammer tonight

27
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 2: on Monday Night football going in, you know, hey, what

28
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 2: else could go wrong for this team this offseason? Brandon

29
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 2: I holds out, Trent Williams holds out, Then a game

30
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 2: time decision no go from Christian McCaffrey, and all of

31
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,839
Speaker 2: a sudden, we see Jordan Mason starting Week one, Richard,

32
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 2: what's going through your mind as we're entering this game

33
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 2: and you see CMC is not playing.

34
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: I'm very confident, Mitchell, very poised, understood what was going on.

35
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: This is a smart decision. This is a long term decision,

36
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: San Francisco fans, It's not a momentary knee jerk. Ah.

37
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: We gotta still playing. We need to get this win. Hey,

38
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: the staff knows we need to get this win, but

39
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: they're not petting. This is an incredibly talented team. This

40
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: is why they paid Deebo Samuels like a wide bag.

41
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: This is why they kept Jordan Mason. They have answers,

42
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: they have things that they feel comfortable with and to

43
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: allow Christian McCaffrey to rest. You want him for the

44
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, not the first week of the season if

45
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: you can keep him. So that was a smart decision

46
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: by the staff, and what a freaking game by Jordan Mason's.

47
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: Something about just getting your opportunity and making the most

48
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: of it is really cool. People saying he looked like

49
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch out there. My goodness. He does run with

50
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: a very heavy hat. He runs downhill, Mitchell. He was

51
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: punishing people all day and you can see as the

52
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: game went on, he's starting to wear the defense down.

53
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: Wear the defense down. People turning down hits, people turning

54
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: down tackles. Hey, sometimes they running into blocks like, hey,

55
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 1: keep me over here. I don't want what's over there.

56
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: That dude looked like he like the rints do He

57
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: running like the rent is due? Mitchell, And that was

58
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: freaking great for the San Francisco forty nine ers, great

59
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: for him. You could hear how happy and how proud

60
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan was of just him getting his opportunity. They

61
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,959
Speaker 1: knew what he could do, but he went out there

62
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: and showed the world in a primetime game what he's

63
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: capable of. That was really cool. The team was rallying

64
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: behind him. Also a really really solid game from Brock

65
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: Perdy nineteen to twenty nine for two thirty one, no touchdowns,

66
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: no interceptions. He did drop a dime to Brandon Ayyuk

67
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: unfortunately was unable to come down with it orls. That

68
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: would have been our play of the week Mitchell, because

69
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: he put it on it and unfortunately they didn't get

70
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: it done. They settled for a field goal. Juwan Jennings

71
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: also had a really really good game third and Juwan

72
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: is still live then well got paid and he's still

73
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: getting open. Deebo Samuels had a solid game. Carried it

74
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: eight times for twenty three yards, podcast fifty four yards

75
00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: and a touchdown. Our guy end of the program Diama

76
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: Door lenor the Hyena he called his shot. He said,

77
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: I got something for a rod this Monday night. He

78
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: got targeted a couple times on a slot fade Gary Wilson.

79
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: Heck of a play by Gary Wilson, but they went

80
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: to the well too many times. He ran a Colorado

81
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: route which is like a slant corner our slanting back

82
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: out and Diama Door was all over it, covered it

83
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: really well, got his hand in there. I think he

84
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: should have went for the pick, but I'm not here

85
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: north there. It still ended up leading to a pick

86
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: by Demitrius Flanagan Fowls. Great play by him, it was

87
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,239
Speaker 1: I mean, I liked everything about it. Nicholas John Bosa

88
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: put a lot of pressure on him at times, he

89
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: looked like he was out there in the wrestling match.

90
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: Tyron Smith is still one of the best tackles in

91
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: the National Football League, a big mammoth of a man,

92
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: and there were a couple of times where I thought

93
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: maybe there could be some some something thrown, but the

94
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: refs never do when there's Nicholas john Bows out there,

95
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: so they didn't. I don't think this was a slight

96
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 1: against the Jets, Mitchell, I really don't. I think the

97
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: Jets are still a really good team. I think Aaron

98
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: showed flashes of what he could be. Remember this is

99
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: his first game back in almost two years. I think

100
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: he showed flashes of exactly the dynamic, incredible arm talent

101
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 1: that we've seen for the last twenty years. And he's

102
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: gonna have an incredible connection with Garrett Wilson. Alan Lazard

103
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: was able to get two touchdowns in the game. Really

104
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: showed some flashes of the things that he was able

105
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 1: to do in Green Bay. I did not think he

106
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: was going to return to the Jets after the conversations

107
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 1: at the end of last year, but obviously Aaron Rodgers

108
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 1: had some conversations with the staffs says, hey, this is

109
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: my guy. I got him, and he showed a lot

110
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: of confidence in him. Today, Breeze Hall looked solid. But

111
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: the Jets are gonna be a good team. But you're

112
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 1: going against the San Francisco forty nine Ers, one of

113
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: the best teams in the National Football I told you, guys,

114
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: Aaron usually struggles against the San Francisco forty nine ers,

115
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 1: But shout out to my guy. Nick Sorenson, defensive coordinator

116
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: for the San Francisco forty nine Ers, his first game

117
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: calling the shots, called a really phenomenal game. They looked

118
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 1: incredibly sound against the run. Malike Collins looked like looked

119
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: like a guy early on, especially against the run. In

120
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 1: this game, Javon Hargrave had some flash plays that were

121
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: really exciting against the run. A few pressures, Leonard Floyd

122
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: got the sack. You know. He and Nick Posa put

123
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure on the quarterback. And then in

124
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: a secondary I mean, you didn't hear Tarvarius Ward's name

125
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: called very often because Starvari's Ward was out there strapping.

126
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 1: Oh did I forget Poony Poony at guard at right

127
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 1: guard for the San Francisco forty nine ers. Looks like

128
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: they got one. It looks like they got one, Thank goodness,

129
00:06:54,400 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: because San Francisco fans have night about what the guard

130
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: did on the final play or one of the final

131
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 1: plays in the Super Bowl in overtime where it could

132
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: have been a touchdown and they just let Chris Jones

133
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: run unblocked to the quarterback, Chris Jones Mitchell, I'm not

134
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: an offensive lineman. I didn't know the scheme. I didn't

135
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: know what the slides were. But I'm gonna tell you

136
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: one thing I'm not gonna do. I'm not gonna let

137
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: Chris Jones run Scott free. And it doesn't look like

138
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: Dominick Pooney is going to be a guy that lets

139
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: Chris Jones run Scott free. And I'm keeping my fingers crossed,

140
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: but he looks like a guy who the San Francisco

141
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers fans have to feel good about this

142
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: game and how it went. It wasn't as close as

143
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: the final score says. They look like a dominant team.

144
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,559
Speaker 1: I look forward to seeing how they look next week.

145
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:56,000

163
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 2: just letting you go, my and I know you're excited

164
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,839
Speaker 2: about this one, and rightfully so I'll be honest with you, man.

165
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 2: When CMC was ruled out, I thought the Jets were

166
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 2: going to take this game. And you playing for such

167
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 2: so many high level teams, especially in your legion of

168
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 2: boom days in Seattle and then the latter part with

169
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 2: San Francisco, you know the importance when you're competing for

170
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 2: that number one seed in home field advantage, getting every

171
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 2: win matters and taking a loss week one is just

172
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 2: not acceptable when you're when you're competing against the likes

173
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 2: of the Cowboys, the Lions, you know, et cetera, for

174
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 2: that number one seed. This is a huge win for

175
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers. Let's not undersell this. And going

176
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 2: back to CMC, I mean we saw it last year

177
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 2: in LA. I mean, cam Akers goes out in the preseason,

178
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 2: Kyron Williams comes out of nowhere and just takes over

179
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 2: that backfield and has become, you know, a bona fide

180
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 2: superstar in this league. Now it looks like the forty

181
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 2: nine ers have somebody in Jordan Mason. We saw flashes

182
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 2: last year with them, but now that he's got the

183
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 2: opportunity to take this job by storm, this number one

184
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,199
Speaker 2: RB roll this week in a highly competitive game against

185
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 2: a great defense. Richard, they got a one two combo.

186
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 2: Now now you can spell CMC a little bit. The

187
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 2: weight of the world is not on CMC anymore. If

188
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 2: you need a drive from Jordan Mason, there's not going

189
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 2: to be that falloff. And like you said, he is

190
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 2: that hammer. He is the Detroit Lions, David Montgomery. You

191
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 2: need somebody like that that's going to come in late

192
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 2: in games and give your team a drive or two.

193
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 2: And that's what you got in Jordan Mason. Richard. This

194
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 2: is a one football for the San Francisco forty nine

195
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 2: ers right out the gates. This fan basis team should

196
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 2: be very, very happy as a Detroit Lion fan hoping

197
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 2: for a little bit of falloff in the Niners. Richard.

198
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 2: They're legit and not make no mistake about it.

199
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: It was funny to me because this game felt like

200
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: practice to me because all the days in training camp

201
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: of Kyle Shanahan versus Robert Sala, the adjustments, the arguments,

202
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 1: the frustration you could tell it meant just a little

203
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: bit more to Kyle today and that he was having

204
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: a little bit more fun than he usually has because

205
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: he's going against one of his good friends, one of

206
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: his one of his colleagues, a guy he has a

207
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: tremendous amount of respect for and obviously a guy ripping

208
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 1: Brackling and Robert Salah. He's a guy that does a

209
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: great job defensively. But when we were in training camp,

210
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:31,559
Speaker 1: Kyle would draw up some nonsense, Mitchell, some just beaters

211
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 1: for our plays, like, hey, these are the answers. Of course,

212
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,559
Speaker 1: if you know the coverage we're in and you draw

213
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 1: up the perfect play. Kyle would draw up some plays

214
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: where you're like, Kyle, that just like, what do you expect?

215
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: That breaks every one of our rules on defense? And

216
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: of course he's wide open. I mean, what do you

217
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: expect we got to break the rules to cover him

218
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: or I bastardize the defense and cover him, and Kyle

219
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: be mad, be like, do your job on the play.

220
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: I'm doing my job. He's not supposed to be open.

221
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: You know you want him to be open because you

222
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: want me to. No, I no, take the check down.

223
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 1: Take the checkdown. Now you're not getting with that, and

224
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: I know there was some games been shipped between he

225
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: and Robert Sala. Obviously Brick is the decoordinator for the

226
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: Jets and not Robert Sala called in the plays, but

227
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: you know, philosophically, he was having impact on those play calls,

228
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: and I'm sure it was. It was a great conversation

229
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: after the game. Obviously, Salah's not happy they got the loss.

230
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: They go to Tennessee next week to play Will Levis

231
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: and the Tennessee Titans. I really feel good. I feel

232
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 1: like that's a good, good game for them. I feel

233
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: like that's a chance for Aaron. They will get a

234
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: lot of man coverage from the Tennessee Titans. That's a

235
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: game Aaron Rodgers and Gary Wilson can really have their

236
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: coming out party you don't want to have. It's tough

237
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: to have a coming out party versus one of the

238
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: best teams in the National Football League. You know, you

239
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 1: you you. If they would have started with Tennessee Titans,

240
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: I'm sure their fans would feel a lot better about

241
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: how this game went and about how their team looks.

242
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 1: I think Aaron Rodgers is going to have an incredible season.

243
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: I just know for a fact, how he plays against

244
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers and he does not play well.

245
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 1: This is not going to be an indicator of how

246
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: he's gonna play all season. Jets fans, he will be fine.

247
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: This defense will be fine. Sauce Gardner and DJ Reid

248
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: will be fine. I think the secondary will be fine.

249
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: I think the linebackers. I think everybody's gonna be be fine.

250
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: It's just a really tough opponent. And the San Francisco

251
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: forty nine is going to Minnesota, where they have not

252
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: had a ton of success even last year. Remember the

253
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: all out blitz late in the second half that led

254
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: to a huge play for the Minnesota Vikings which led

255
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: to them winning that game. And it's Sam Donald. Sam

256
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,079
Speaker 1: Donald getting this chance, to getting Skyle Shanahan, a guy

257
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: who gave him opportunity, kind of helped resurrect his career

258
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: a little bit. And he had a really good, good game,

259
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: a really impressive game last week against the New York Giants,

260
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: and I look for him to have a really solid game.

261
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell has been drawing it up like nobody's business. Obviously,

262
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: they have one of the best receivers in the League

263
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: and Justin Jefferson, so they're gonna have to do everything

264
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: they can to stop him. But this isn't a mobile quarterback.

265
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: This isn't a guy who's gonna be all over the place.

266
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: So Nicholas John Bosa and Leonard Floyd in this defensive

267
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:11,839
Speaker 1: line will get a chance to pin their ears back

268
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 1: a little bit more next week and see if they

269
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: can get some shots out the quarterback. And let's see

270
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: if this offensive line can open up the gaps and

271
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: open up the holes like they did this week. Maybe

272
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey goes. But I got a sense that if

273
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: he's sitting out this get weak, then maybe they give

274
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: him two weeks to just really make sure we put

275
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: this to bed so that he's healthy and feeling good

276
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: and this isn't a nagging, reoccurring thing going forward. So

277
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: that's how I'm feeling about that. But Mitchell, I know,

278
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: I know you want to talk about your boys. Mitchell.

279
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: I know that's why you're quiet, because you got so

280
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: much to say about those Hana Lulu Blue wearing Detroit Lions.

281
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: Because it was rocking out there at Ford Field. Mitchell,

282
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: tell me about it.

283
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 2: Richard, I was there tired up as could be. And

284
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 2: I tell you what, you go into that stadium Sunday

285
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 2: night football a lot of fun, right, I mean, the

286
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 2: cities lively. We saw it with the draft. Detroit knows

287
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 2: how to show up. That stadium was a buzz, Richard,

288
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 2: from the moment you get in there an hour before

289
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 2: the game. And let's not forget the story here. Jared Goff,

290
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 2: the cast off from the La Rams sent to Detroit,

291
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 2: the low lead Detroit Lions for Matthew Stafford. And this

292
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 2: is Matthew Stafford's second homecoming, if you will. And he

293
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 2: was met with some cheers, rich I mean the fans

294
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 2: gave him some love as he ran out. But as

295
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,479
Speaker 2: soon as that game started, it was just like the playoffs.

296
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 2: And Richard, you look at this team. They battled all game.

297
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 2: It wasn't pretty. You know, I think the Lions probably

298
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 2: played C plus football on the day. They had their mistakes,

299
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 2: you know, golf through an interception, the defense had a

300
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 2: couple breakdowns. They gave up a seventeen to three lead.

301
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 2: But what showed me about this team is when I

302
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 2: thought they were down and out, they came back. And

303
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 2: there's a there's a stigma here in Detroit called the

304
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 2: same old Lions. The same old Lions would always find

305
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 2: a way to lose a game they should have won. Well,

306
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 2: this is a brand new Lions, and this is what

307
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 2: we've been talking about since last year. This team is

308
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 2: now finding ways to win a game they should have

309
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 2: otherwise lost. I mean the Richard, they were down and out,

310
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 2: let's face reality, and all of a sudden they got

311
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 2: a three and out from Matthew Stafford. They went down

312
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 2: the field, they got a rookie kicker and Jake Bates

313
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 2: that delivers a clutch kick, albeit short, still clutch kick

314
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 2: for him, and then they go and pound the rock

315
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 2: seven consecutive plays. I think they had one passing play

316
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 2: on that overtime possession. Richard. That is when a team

317
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 2: shows you, hey, this is our strength. Our old Lions

318
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 2: number one in football, and we got an absolute workhorse

319
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 2: behind them in David Montgomery. We're just going to give

320
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 2: you the football and show you that our team is

321
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 2: stronger than yours. And Richard, that's what they did. I'm

322
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 2: really excited to hear your thoughts on the Lions, because

323
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 2: while it wasn't a pretty win, it was a gritty

324
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 2: win and that's the way Detroit plays football.

325
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: Mitchell. It was a gritty win. It seemed like it

326
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: was almost symbolic of the city of Detroit. Hey, people

327
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: think a certain way of you. You got beat up

328
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: a little bit early, got you know, down and out.

329
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 1: But the Detroit City, Mitchell, the music city Mitchell, They're

330
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 1: gonna make it happen, and they did. This is a

331
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: beautiful team, They have a beautiful culture. You got the

332
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: young guys, homegrown talent that are making it happen. Aiden

333
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: Hutchinson with a sack, four quarterback hits. Brian Branch who's

334
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 1: the second year player, had three pass defenses. That secondary

335
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: looked much better, even though Matthew Stafford had three hundred

336
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: and seventeen yards. He's a big yardigt quarterback. He's gonna

337
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: he's gonna get his charge no matter what. But Jamison Williams,

338
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: who you call Mitchell, You called that Jamison Williams. They

339
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: have a lot of belief in this kid, and you

340
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 1: keep hearing all his praises, always gonna do this, He's

341
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: gonna do this. He's doing it. Five catches, one hundred

342
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: and twenty one yards in a touchdown. He looked incredible.

343
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: Out there, and then you get to the last drive. Hey, overtime,

344
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: we're taking the ball. We're gonna march it down really

345
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: old school style, right behind our right side of our

346
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: old line. You know, we'll get something to the left,

347
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: but right behind Pinay Soul and that right side of

348
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: the old line. We paid him. This is our guy.

349
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,199
Speaker 1: We believe in him, and we're gonna trust him. And

350
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: David Montgomery continue to just punish the defense, punish the defense,

351
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: punishing run after punishing run. They gave him a slight

352
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 1: break in there to get Jamiir Gibbs a touch, but

353
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, he wasn't coming up

354
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 1: very often. He wanted this drive on his shoulders and

355
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 1: he took it, and he let this team down. It

356
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: looked like such a confident and strong That's why they're contenders, Mitchell.

357
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: That's why they deserve the respect. Because they walked the

358
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: ball down versus a very competitive RAMS team, a RAMS

359
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: team that was in the play playing this team last year.

360
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 1: So this isn't just some slapsh of a team. This

361
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 1: team is a team that expects to compete again for

362
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 1: playoff contention, and they really just said, hey, we're gonna

363
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: impose our wheel and let you guys know, you're at

364
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 1: our stadium, in our house, and we're not having it.

365
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: We're walking away with a dub. Get back on your plane,

366
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: go back to La, see La, and.

367
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 2: See you later. Matthew Stafford. As much as we love

368
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 2: you here in Detroit, it's got to feel pretty rough

369
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,679
Speaker 2: knowing that you've lost twice to your former team in

370
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 2: the last what six months, Richard, seven months? I mean,

371
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 2: that's demoralizing, right, Richard. What I get fired of about

372
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 2: the Lions is their offense was supposed to be spectacular.

373
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 2: You add another piece in Jamison Williams, you get the

374
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 2: development of Sam Laporter, you get the maturity of Jamior Gibbs.

375
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 2: Then you just keep this molding and meshing of this

376
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 2: offensive line. I didn't see so many offensive linemen jerseys

377
00:19:58,160 --> 00:19:59,439
Speaker 2: in the crowd, rich I mean, there was like a

378
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 2: pina every fifth jersey I saw. It's insane how much

379
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 2: the city loves this old line. But what they need

380
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 2: to help with is what you pointed out, the secondary,

381
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 2: and they also just needed to add a little bit

382
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 2: more depth on that D line. They went out this

383
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 2: offseason and they've got DJ Reader who did not play.

384
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 2: But one of the biggest names that I think a

385
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 2: lot of folks should be aware of coming out is

386
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 2: number ninety one Levi Awuzerique, the defensive tackle out of

387
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 2: you dub Richard. He's been injured for three years and

388
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 2: he came back, and Dan Campbell says, this guy is

389
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 2: going to be a bona fide star here this year. Richard.

390
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 2: He had a sack against Matthew Stafford. If the Detroit

391
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 2: Lions can add DJ Reider in another piece on that

392
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 2: d line, I mean, now, all of a sudden, we

393
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 2: got a defense that could be again what I called

394
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 2: top ten in this league. Richard, I'm excited. I think

395
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 2: this team can go on a run right away. I

396
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 2: know you like the Buccaneers and they are a tough team,

397
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 2: but I just love the Lions at home next week.

398
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 2: I can't see a situation that they lose that game.

399
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 2: Vegas has got him as a touchdown favorite already. Richard,

400
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 2: taking a week one dub feels like a hell of

401
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:07,880
Speaker 2: a lot better than taking an out.

402
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: I will leave you with that, no question, no question.

403
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:15,120
Speaker 1: And this is without a great game from your star receiver.

404
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 1: A'man Ross State Brown. Not because he wasn't great, but

405
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: because it was Jamis's Williams' day and now people are

406
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 1: gonna have to game plan for Jamison Williams. They're game

407
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 1: planning for Ahm and Roh, doing everything they can stop

408
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,679
Speaker 1: to do to stop Alman Ross Saint Brown in the

409
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: tight end. But you're not accounting for Jamison Williams. Now

410
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna look at the film and say, man, we

411
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: got to make sure we know where number nine is

412
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: at all times, and that's gonna open things up for

413
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: aman Ross Saint Brown to have more success. But I

414
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: guarantee you, Mitchell, I know you feel very confident about

415
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: this game against Tampa. But they looked really good. Baker

416
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: looks like he found his home. That Todd Bowles defense

417
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: is very hectic. They create a lot of chaos. Leamonte

418
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: David looked like he had a really good game. Joe Tryon,

419
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 1: Shinka had a really good game. They're putting a lot

420
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 1: of pressure on quarterbacks. They're doing a lot of great

421
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: things defensively. Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, those guys are putting

422
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: on a show as they always have. But you're right.

423
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 1: Your Honolulu Blue Boys looked like a dominant force. It

424
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 1: looked like they can win these games and whatever way

425
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 1: they need to. It can be a big, high scoring,

426
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: pretty game. It can be an ugly, grind it out,

427
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 1: gritty game. It can be a defensive matchup. It could

428
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: be a shootout. Whatever they want to do. It seems

429
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 1: like they're gonna have to do it in the Honolulu

430
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 1: Blue If they want to get a Mitchell, I'm gonna

431
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: make a rhyme out of that. At some point. You

432
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: need that.

433
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 2: I need that before you come to Detroit for that

434
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 2: Green Bay Packers Thursday night football game. I'm gonna need

435
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 2: a wrap on this. Richard. Speaking of Thursday night football,

436
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 2: I know you gotta be fired up. This is your guys,

437
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 2: first Thursday night football game of the year with the Amazon. Richard,

438
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,880
Speaker 2: give me how excited? I know you gotta be pumped, man.

439
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 2: I know this is something like what goes through your

440
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 2: mind pregame when you're about to go on the field

441
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 2: on set. Are you you studying? Are you jacking yourself up?

442
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 2: Are you listening to music? Tell me about it? Well, well, mental,

443
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 2: it's exciting.

444
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: At the first game we ever did for Thursday night football,

445
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: it was it was it was surreal for me. I

446
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: think it was Kansas City versus the Chargers in Kansas City,

447
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: and I found myself in my room like going through

448
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: my game day routine, headphones in, got my game day

449
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: playlist going, and I can feel my body like turning

450
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 1: on and my mind turning into what like going into

451
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 1: the place it needs to go to. Then I was like, wait,

452
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: you're not playing if you don't sit your behind down,

453
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 1: Like if you don't turn this off and put your

454
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 1: suit on, you're not putting pads on today. You gotta

455
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 1: talk the game. And so it just took a second

456
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: to adjust my mentality because you go into these games

457
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: so hyped, so excited. It feels good getting into the atmosphere,

458
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,919
Speaker 1: smell the grass, you hear the crowd, you see the

459
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: referees that you've been dealing with for ten eleven years,

460
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,439
Speaker 1: you see the players getting to interact with them, and

461
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: it just feels like football. And you hear that national

462
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: anthem and then it's like chills up your spine and

463
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 1: then your body turns to something and then you gotta

464
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: turn it off. And then you gotta say, you're not playing,

465
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: turn off. Not you talking, they're talking to him. They're going,

466
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 1: but I'm super excited for this one. This is a

467
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:16,959
Speaker 1: fantastic divisional matchup. Both teams won last week in different ways.

468
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: Buffalo has dominated this series, winning eleven out of twelve.

469
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: But I think the Dolphins have a great shot this week. Obviously,

470
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: they had all the turmoil and adversity before the game

471
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: last week with Tyreek hel Kalais Campbell, Jonu all dealing with.

472
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 1: I mean, we all saw the body cam footage, some

473
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:41,160
Speaker 1: issues with the Dade County Police Department. But this week

474
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 1: it's gonna it's gonna be hopefully locked in a short

475
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: week for both teams in Miami. The weather is gonna

476
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: be great, it's gonna be hot. I'm gonna have a

477
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 1: Lennon suito on Mitchell. I think Josh Allen is gonna

478
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 1: go out there and want to put on a show,

479
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: but I think he gets out played by your guy

480
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:02,400
Speaker 1: Tua Tongua Vailoa. Kill Jalen Waddle. I hope our guy

481
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: Raheem Moster can can have some success. Jalen Ramsey seems motivated.

482
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 1: He's on Twitter. He know he didn't have the best

483
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: game last week. He's gonna come in trying to make

484
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: a statement, trying to make a play on Prime Time

485
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: is showing everybody he's still there. He's still a guy.

486
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: Uh But Buffalo Buffalo has a bunch of young guys.

487
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 1: Kean Coleman. Is he gonna make a statement? Is he

488
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: gonna have a big game? Who's gonna be the guy

489
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,199
Speaker 1: that steps up and separates for the Buffalo Bills? And

490
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: that's what I'm excited to see. We all know the

491
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:36,120
Speaker 1: superstars that the Miami Dolphins have, But now that Stefan

492
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 1: Diggs is going, now that Gabe Davis is going, who's

493
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 1: gonna be the go to guy consistently for the Buffalo Bills.

494
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 1: That's what we're waiting to find out. And we're gonna

495
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: get another chance to get a peek at that, Mitchell,

508
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 1: feeling myself. My boys got me right.

509
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 2: But you know one thing when you're when you're in

510
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 2: town for the Detroit Lions Thursday night game, I'll let

00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 2: you to wear this Honolulu blue and silver one. Here,

513
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 2: rich I like, we gotta talk. We gotta talk a

514
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 2: little bit more in depth here because this is my

515
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 2: favorite part of the show every week because I get

516
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 2: to hear you position the Detroit Lions somewhere into your

517
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 2: Richard Sherman power ranks. Richard, we gotta talk about it

518
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 2: now that week one is concluded. Do you have an

519
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 2: I did? Do you have a sense of your top

520
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 2: five in this this week's ranks?

521
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 1: Mitchell, I gotta, I got an inkling. I gotta because

522
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: sometimes you get a little hot Johns, you get a

523
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,679
Speaker 1: little Bob Mitchell. Sometimes you get a little hot and

524
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: bother Mitchell. This this week was a lot of heat

525
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 1: in the kitchen for my power rankings, but still staying

526
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:24,160
Speaker 1: at number one. Kansas City Chiefs, They're still nothing. Let

527
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: nothing led me to believe they're not the best team

528
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 1: in football except the San Francisco forty nine ers. They're close.

529
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: If I could do one A one B Mitchell, I would,

530
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: But we're gonna We're gonna go one, two, three. I'm

531
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: gonna give your boys three, Mitchell. I'm gonna leave your

532
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: Honolulu Blue Detroit Lions. They're gonna be three.

533
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 2: Okay, I love it.

534
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,360
Speaker 1: I had a lot of confidence in the Houston Texans.

535
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: I wanted to put them in there. I didn't feel

536
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 1: great about their showing. I felt like, you know, I

537
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 1: felt like c. J. Stroud was a little bit hesitant

538
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: through through a few passes, a little a little more

539
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: errant than I'm used to. Is much better with, you know,

540
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: keeping the football safe. There are a few passes that

541
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 1: I thought should have been picked that weren't. But they

542
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: still came out and went won the game. That defense

543
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: played well. But but they're going to drop a little

544
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 1: bit for me. I'm going to keep the Baltimore Ravens

545
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: in there at four. No. No, no, no, I'm gonna keep

546
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: them at five. I'm gonna keep them at five. That

547
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: fourth spot, make sure that fourth spot. I have to

548
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: give me a second, have to give me a second.

549
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 2: I think I know where you're going, and I think

550
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 2: it's probably gonna end up hurting you because I don't

551
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 2: think you really want to do it truly. Rich. Do

552
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 2: you like the Dallas Cowboys?

553
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 1: No, I don't, Mitchell, Mitchell, but they played so well,

554
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: they played well.

555
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 2: I know you're inevitably going to have to settle somewhere

556
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 2: around them.

557
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: Rich, they played so well, they played so well, and

558
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: that that I have a lot of respect for what

559
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: that Cleveland Browns defense that did last year, and the

560
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: players and the talent that they have, Miles Garrett, the

561
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: cornerbacks that they have, Ward and Mitchell, the Dallas, the Seattle.

562
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 1: Because I don't want to push Baltimore. I might push

563
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 1: Baltimore out. Do I push Baltimore out? Miami had a

564
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 1: dogfight of a game. I put them in it. That's

565
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 1: a dogfight they were in it. I'm not sure. I'm

566
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: not really sold on Jacksonville's defense. I don't know if

567
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: that should have been as hard as it was. Ah,

568
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: I know Saints fans are like put us in look

569
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: not for for what you did against Carolina guys, not

570
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: not quite yet. Wait a minute, hold on, you're on

571
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: Third Street, you know. Let's see it against somebody else. Hmm.

572
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 1: I can't be all NFC, Mitchell, I can't. I can't

573
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: just go all NFC because it would just be one AFC.

574
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 2: At you got the chief rich, I know, but.

575
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: The rest would be NFCU.

576
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 2: Obvious one man. The New England Patriots huge showing against

577
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 2: the Bengals, you know, I mean you can slide them in.

578
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: There, Mitchell. I. Nothing about my nothing in my person

579
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: or soul wants to put them anywhere near my top

580
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: five Right now, Mitchell, they have a lot to show

581
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: me before. I'm not saying they stunk offensively, but it

582
00:30:56,360 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: didn't smell great either side. So sincin Now we gotta

583
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: have a real uncomfortable conversation if they score ten points again, Mitchell,

584
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 1: I have a really uncomfortable conversation where people are gonna

585
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: be sitting there calling me a hater. We're probably gonna

586
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: go viral we start that conversation. But that's we need

587
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: to see more. You know, we're gonna give him a break.

588
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: Everybody has a has a snaffoo and a rough game,

589
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: all right, Kansas City Chiefs, San Francisco forty nine Ers,

590
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions, Dallas Cowboys, Baltimore Ravens.

591
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 2: It was tough. I can live with it. I knew

592
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 2: you were gonna settle up there. We could have saved

593
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 2: like a good two three minutes of deliberation there, Richard.

594
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 2: I told you it was gonna hurt your soul, and

595
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 2: it probably did. But we got a conclusion. The Chiefs,

596
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 2: the San Francisco forty nine Ers, my hometown, Detroit Lions,

597
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys, and the Baltimore Ravens. Richard, that's a

598
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 2: Week one Power Ranks, Sir. We've been hard at it.

599
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 2: I know you've been really hard at it. We've given you,

600
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 2: guys three podcasts this week. Look forward to bring you

601
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 2: more and more. I know rich you're fired up for this.

602
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 2: I will allow you to sign us off as we

603
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 2: conclude Week one.

604
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 1: Well, before we sign off, I want to make sure

605
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,239
Speaker 1: I give some much deserved love to Jake Moody, who

606
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: went six for six for the San Francisco forty nine Ers,

607
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 1: the second year kicker out of Michigan had a heck

608
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: of a day and if we had a player of

609
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: the Game, it would likely have to be him. He

610
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 1: had an incredible day, a big reason why the San

611
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine ers won this game. He was accurate

612
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: and they weren't just chip shots. There were a couple

613
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: fifty yarders in there. He nailed them through, even hit

614
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,560
