00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: Be Around the NFL Podcast deserves to market talent only space.

2
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: Damn right. Welcome to another edition of the Around the

3
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: NFL Podcast. My name is Dan Hansis. I'm joining in

4
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,479
Speaker 1: the room filled with heroes, Mark Sessler, Chris Westling, and

5
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 1: Greg Roosetalf. What is up is? Hey? Dan? What a day?

6
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: What a day? Chris Westling was just commenting on the

7
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: way up here, how the football was superior on Sunday

8
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: of Week three two superior to Week two. So okay

9
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:39,919
Speaker 1: on balance, but much better than the sloppy play of

10
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: Week two of the NFL and the sloppy officiating of

11
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 1: week the NFL. Okay, you went through a lot on

12
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: game pass last week. I could tell it took something

13
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: out of you. It took Yeah, it really increased my sleep,

14
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: put me to sell it all last week. Um, I'm

15
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: I'm falling asleep because it is eighty nine degrees in

16
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: the studio today. They actually turned the heat up from

17
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: Thursday show. So this is about survival. This episode of

18
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: the Around the NFL Podcast also pulling back the curtain

19
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: a little bit. This is the first in the history

20
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: of the show, and we've done about a thousand episodes.

21
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: The Cleveland Browns are playing on Sunday Night Football. As

22
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 1: we go through these games, and Mark, how are you doing?

23
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: I mean, number one, let's start it right here. I'm

24
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: a raging professional. My focus is on the show and

25
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 1: interacting with you about that too. That too, I you know,

26
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: my I W I will turn towards the game when

27
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: we're finished with our jobs here. Our jobs are the

28
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: primary responsibility. I'm really impressed by that answer, really impressed.

29
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: It's mostly true. But you're also part of the Ramilly

30
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,919
Speaker 1: now you've locked up the Rams and you're rooting for

31
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: the fighting Jared Goffs, Well, that's complicated, Like look into

32
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: mark soul this game. So that will be going on

33
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: as we go through every game that was played. Uh

34
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: in Sunday of Week three, Um, you guys want to

35
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: get into it. I I kind of stacked it at

36
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: the top of the show in order of all the

37
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 1: undefeated teams. So we're gonna go through all the teams

38
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: that are entering week three or entered week three at

39
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 1: two and oh and see how they fare. Let's get

40
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: going with the marquee matchup of two and oh teams,

41
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens at Arrowhead against the Chiefs. Mahomes right

42
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: foot in front of the left Mahomes pump, Picking's gonna

43
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: throw a screen right Darryll Williams on the plot, He's

44
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 1: at the head midfield, four star Kansas City. Goodbye Baltimore Ravens,

45
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: Goodbye to go in the game. A screen pass of

46
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: sixteen yards tialed up by Big Red and extuecuted perfectly

47
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: by the NFL m v P Patrick Mahomes. Mitch Holts

48
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: to the Chief's radio network with the call. It was

49
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: his version of the hay is in the barn, go home,

50
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens, because Yeah, just God banged Patrick Mahomes. I

51
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: used the game with that completion to Darryl Williams. Darrell

52
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: Daryl Darryl Williams the final pass and another brilliant afternoon

53
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: for the raigning m VP, who threw for three seventy

54
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: four and three touchdowns in a thirty three win over

55
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 1: the Ravens, who fall to two and one. Chiefs now

56
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: three and oh and their quarterback might actually be better

57
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 1: than he was a year ago. Think about that. One

58
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: of the best seasons of all time, and Mahomes is

59
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: just playing the game at a level that no one

60
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: else is sniffing the Ravens. Greg, the Ravens get a

61
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: lollipop here. I know you're watching this game in the cubicle.

62
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: I could hear you Deemin and han and and honking

63
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: about your boy Lament. I don't care what the draft

64
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: of the assignment says. I'm watching that evidently clear you're

65
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: the bad boy of NFL media. The Ravens get a

66
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: lollipop for hanging around in this game, but it never

67
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: really felt in doubt. This was another day for Patrick

68
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: Mahomes in the Chiefs to keep rolling. I'm taking that

69
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: lollipop away. They were lucky to have the final score

70
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: be this close. The defense, which talked a good game

71
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: before uh this match up in terms of Earl Thomas

72
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: saying they weren't gonna give up Big Place, really didn't

73
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: provide much resistance. The Arrol Thomas was victimized on a

74
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: play where you could see Andy Reid saw a tendency

75
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: where Earl Thomas was gonna jump a route of Sammy

76
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: Watkins in the slot and they went over the top

77
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: for um Michael Hardman. Michael Hardman for eighty three yards.

78
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: There was no pass rush. I felt like more than

79
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 1: any game obviously this season, you could really see them

80
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: missing Terrell Suggs and Zadarius Smith because Patrick Mahomes had

81
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: all day back there. Even though he didn't have his

82
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 1: left tackle, he had plenty of time, and I felt

83
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 1: like they could have put up a forty burger or

84
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: more if things had gone a little differently. I mean,

85
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 1: it's it's nine point six yards per passed from Mahomes.

86
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: And you mentioned like how he has improved markedly visibly

87
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: on the field, and we mentioned on Sky Sports that

88
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: they talked all offseason now he's more comfortable in the

89
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: offense and a lot of times I read that stuff

90
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 1: and I say, I don't simply don't really care about

91
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 1: those kind of assessments in you know, mid July or

92
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: late June. But he looks that much more at home,

93
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: and they don't like Tyreek Hill is not in the lineup.

94
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: But you can't even tell the difference. They have an

95
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 1: absolute embarrassment of wet, big play weapons. By the end

96
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: of last year, it was a one horse race for

97
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: m v P. And I think he's widen the gap

98
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: between first and second place in the first three games

99
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: this year. The difference is there was some anticipation throws

100
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 1: on on third down where he's letting go the ball

101
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: well before the receiver makes his break. There was just

102
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 1: recognition of where the blitzes were coming from where he

103
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: just knew where his hot read was and they just

104
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 1: had solutions. But the thing I really like today was

105
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 1: he was getting on his offensive lineman. He got on

106
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: a big red Andy Reid for blowing the clock situation,

107
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,359
Speaker 1: wanting it to be fixed. He he just seems like

108
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: he has such command that he's not afraid now to

109
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: call some people out, and he is just like a

110
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 1: master of what is happening. And the Ravens, I think

111
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: they could have played this game ten times and the

112
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: Ravens just weren't up to snuff to compete in this one.

113
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 1: They were missing Eric Fisher, their left tackle, Tyreek Kill,

114
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: as we mentioned, Damian Williams, They're starting running back and

115
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: it just doesn't seem to matter. Lasawan McCoy sat out

116
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter with his injury. He reinjured his ankle.

117
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: Uh and on the other side of the ball. This

118
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: is the first game, and you knew this game would

119
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: eventually come, and there's no reason to look too much

120
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,359
Speaker 1: into it. And see it as a major issue going forward.

121
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: But Lamar Jackson for three quarters kind of looked like

122
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: the Lamar Jackson who struggled at times during his rookie year,

123
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 1: missing on passes, maybe not seeing the field, uh the

124
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: way you need him to. Certainly to stay in a

125
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 1: game against the Chiefs, they he missed a lot of

126
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 1: deep throws. I mean there were opportunities to stay in

127
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 1: this game. I don't think it was an incredible Chiefs

128
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: defensive performance. I can think of three or four down

129
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 1: the field where he had open receivers he missed it.

130
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 1: I think it was three for twelve on throws over

131
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: twenty yards, so they were daring him to go deep.

132
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: The running game was good, Ingram was amazing. Lamar ended

133
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: up getting some uh good runs in the second half.

134
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 1: Gus Edwards did pretty well, but he just didn't deliver.

135
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: I guess the toughest stadium to go into and play

136
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: in the league right now. And I don't worry about

137
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: the Ravens at all because I just think that they're

138
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: still so well put together and Ingram, to your point,

139
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: it was the perfect free agent for the right for

140
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: this team, and he's fitting so I think he could

141
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: have gone somewhere else and we wouldn't be talking about

142
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: in week to week. He fits perfectly on the Ravens,

143
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: and I think they'll bounce back big time on it

144
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: from this, and they'll probably meet again. I Mark would

145
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: have seen Earl Thomas said that he expects them to

146
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: meet again after the game. The only thing in this

147
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: a f C though, where it looks awfully similar to

148
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: last year in the beginning. You know, those losses for

149
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and the Patriots, they there might not be

150
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: that many of them, so they're already if you're a

151
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: Chiefs fan, you're already thinking about getting a buy in

152
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Before we move on, I want to call

153
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: attention to one other aspect of the game that I

154
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: found very interesting. John Harbaugh coached an ultra aggressive game,

155
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: one of the more aggressively coached games I've ever seen,

156
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: and I don't necessarily mean that as a compliment. I

157
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: find it, um, you know, I I call I I

158
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: find it, you know, hanging the onions that way, that's respectable.

159
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: But they went for it on fourth down four times,

160
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: and they went for three for were in that situation.

161
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: They attempted three two point conversions failed all three. Uh

162
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: and when it's a five point loss, and and it

163
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: makes you wonder. It felt to me that he was

164
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: he was somehow trusted his offense too much and maybe

165
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: not enough at the same time. Here's the comments from hardball,

166
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: because the reporters were questioning his strategy after the game.

167
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: And we we had a mindset that we're gonna commit

168
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: and we're gonna try to scores many points as we could.

169
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: So that so what we tried to do, you know,

170
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: and I know, I know we all felt the same way,

171
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: and all Lamar felt the same way. We all did.

172
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: We're we're gonna keeplaying that. We just felt a record.

173
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: So when you write your article, just understand that we'll

174
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: disagree with you know, we're going after it. And that's

175
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: where we're gonna player all year. So West, that's the

176
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: Mahomes effect. It is you're psyched out a little bit

177
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: and knowing that you have to keep up with the Chiefs,

178
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: and they did. They had to keep up. It forced

179
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: two punts. The Chiefs scored seven out of nine trips

180
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: that that didn't end. That didn't end the game. So

181
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: he was right, they had to score. I like the

182
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: aggressiveness I mean, it's not always gonna work too with team.

183
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: It was pretty wild. That's one of the best coaches

184
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: in the league. We've been saying that for a long time.

185
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: All Right, another undefeated team. They reside in Western New York.

186
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: To Orchard Park. We go, and Allen's ready to go

187
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: out of the gun again. Three receivers lined up right side.

188
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 1: There's the staff. Josh looks left, fire's left, got a

189
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: man wide opening his cat by Gawson Knox out of

190
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: midfield on the run, gets past one man trying to

191
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: get past another man bulls him down and he is

192
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: finally knocked out of bounds at the Cincinnati twenty four

193
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: yard line. Johnson Knox running after the catch, knocking down

194
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: Bengals along the way. What a huge play that was,

195
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: John Murphy, Bills Radio Network with the call Yes. Tight

196
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: End Dawson Knox took a Josh Allen pass and turned

197
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: into an evolutionary ground His forty nine yard catching runs

198
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: set up a Francour touchdown that was the difference in

199
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: win over the Bengals and rowdy Orchard Park. The victory

200
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: moves the Bills to three and oh and sets him

201
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: up for a huge week four showdown against the undefeated Patriots.

202
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: Mark Uh, consider this Bills come back another leap forward

203
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen. Right absolutely. I mean they're not a fluke.

204
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: You know. You get some of these teams that rolled

205
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: to these early nice records and you have to look

206
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 1: a little deeper and wonder what they really are. What

207
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: the Bills, though, are not is an explosive, big play offense.

208
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: They had fifteen first downs before the Bengals had their first,

209
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 1: and it it looked that way, but they had a

210
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: lead of sixteen nothing. I mean, they're gonna need to

211
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: find a way to pile up points and find some

212
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,319
Speaker 1: more explosion. I still think John Brown Cole Beasley were

213
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: perfect fits for Josh Allen. Josh Allen is going to

214
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: continue to push the ball downfield. He made a bad

215
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: inter say, had a bad pick in this game. But

216
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: they they you know that they were patient and enough

217
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: for the to wait for the Bengals to make a

218
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: killer mistake of their own with a Dalton interception. But

219
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: they to me with Buffalo, I I give them a

220
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 1: shot against New England, I really do. Because of their defense.

221
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: They just they're gonna hang around with teams, uh that

222
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: are superior to them because of what they can do

223
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: on defense, they make like very uncomfortable for Cincinnati's attack.

224
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: The step forward for the um Josh Allen experience came

225
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: with five minutes to go in the fourth quarter, so

226
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: that uh, Buffalo had a four teen zip lead in

227
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: this game and Cincinnati scores seventeen nonanswered and that was

228
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,199
Speaker 1: set up perfectly. We've talked about it in real time,

229
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: Mark down in the newsroom. Uh, here's Josh Allen takes over.

230
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: He has plenty of time, they had time outs, and

231
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: what he has to do now show us that he

232
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: can go get the lead back unless he did it

233
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: with ease. They marched down the field and scored. You

234
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: still don't know what you're getting week week to week

235
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: from Josh Allen. And that's to me, that's the reason

236
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 1: why the Patriots are going to be the heavy favorites

237
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: next week. Mark's right that their defense, the Bill's defense,

238
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: gives them a chance. And when they when they did

239
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: finally take the lead, this is when you know Dan

240
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: was saying, this is a great progress check for Josh Allen.

241
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: And then they took the lead and Marks said, let's

242
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: see if Andy Dalton has anything in his human body.

243
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: At this point, you really thought it was like after years,

244
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton, please show me something with the game on

245
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 1: the yeah, and he and he threw an interception. When

246
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: do you know what it's to me? You go in three?

247
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: You look, we're talking about a FC teams in the

248
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,959
Speaker 1: Ravens and the Patriots and the Chiefs, who are looking

249
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 1: simply unstoppable. And the Bengals have had as bad of

250
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: a start to the season as they could have imagined.

251
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 1: After I thought a really frisky performance in Week one,

252
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 1: they had a chance to win this game and all

253
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 1: would have required was the offense to do their part,

254
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: and they couldn't. It's a tough ask against Buffalo's defense.

255
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: But for me, I just want to see a few

256
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: more like Dawson Knox. They've compared him to Jeremy Shocky.

257
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: He is an interesting player. I don't know if i'd

258
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: call him Jeremy shock Uh. Not sure about the off

259
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,719
Speaker 1: the field elements, but Josh Allen did responding touchdown in

260
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl Jeremy Shocky, for you get get slept on.

261
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: Sometimes I like this Bill. They're fun like It's just

262
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: the league needs more, even if they're not a super

263
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: Bowl type team. It's impossible not to enjoy how well

264
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: they're coached and how they've lived up to any sort

265
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: of off seat. They were getting a little buz in

266
00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: the off season and they could have gone one and two,

267
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: and we forget about him. It's the opposite. I just

268
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: want to know what Andy Dalton did to poor Mark.

269
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: I mean what he said on air is very professional,

270
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: just like he said going into this show. But the

271
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 1: invective sentence Salton about the status and you know it

272
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: was international. Well, how it's just the same old story

273
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: from Andy Dalton. Bengals fans can come at me. They're

274
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 1: all upset that we're too negative about them, but it's

275
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: the same narrative over and over, and you want to different.

276
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: That's so to the Bengals and so the like, this

277
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: is who you've invested in your you're missing your offensive lineman,

278
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: You're there's a lot of we do know who he

279
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,719
Speaker 1: is and he's good enough. At the this time last

280
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 1: year we were talking about how he won three straight

281
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: fourth quarter comebacks and they that's why they started three

282
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 1: and one. He was super question, there's a good team around.

283
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: There's little pockets like that from in Dalton. But it's

284
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 1: just I don't know how if I had Holly Hobby

285
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: at backup, I might throw her in to see what

286
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: could happen in a game. Just maybe something different. All right,

287
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: Let's uh, I don't know who that is. Who's Holly Hobby.

288
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: It's like a child's doll, typically a girl's doll. Boy

289
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: could have the doll too, from what I understand, I

290
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: don't know why you're making eye contact with me, like

291
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: I don't know Hobby dollar, I did not. I don't

292
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: know if it's a real around, isn't. I mean it

293
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: was it was a it was a thriving article, a

294
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: toy back in the day. Jeremy Shocky that touchdown for

295
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: the Saints? Was it with the Saints? Yes, that was he.

296
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: They had to go ahead touchdown, He had to go

297
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: ahead touch then when they beat the Colts, Okay, thank

298
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: you very much. All right. We mentioned the New England

299
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: Patriots who have the big match up against the Bills,

300
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: but first they had to take care of business against

301
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: a down trodden a FC East quote unquote rival onto

302
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: the throne of sleeves. Michelle the sable back first, Jan

303
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: Kent from the tent five, the ball on the right

304
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: hash stand up under centered parents. But to play fake

305
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: to Michelle, I'll light off a door set of the

306
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: tent right to the five stood again for the score touchdown. Patriots.

307
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: That's Bob Sochi of Patriots Radio Network. We don't need

308
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: to hear from you so lack this week. So like

309
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: what a disgrace last week? Oh hey, kid, pay kid,

310
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: Antonio Brill, welcome to the neighborhood. Kid grow up. Tom

311
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: Brady threw their touchdown passes, including that connection with Philip Dorsett,

312
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: and the Pats didn't allow an offensive touchdown for the

313
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: third straight week and a thirty fourteen win over the

314
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: hapless New York Football Jets. Uh. It was business as

315
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: usual for the Patriots, who rolled to three and oh

316
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: two days after their misguided, uncouth an Tonio Brown experiment

317
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: ended with the wide receiver's release. As expected, this wasn't

318
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: much of a game. Um. You even give the Jets

319
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: credit for at least keeping it from turning into a disaster,

320
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: at least their defense. The Jets offenses as lost as

321
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: an offense could be right now. They had about a

322
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: hundred total yards in this game. Both their scores one

323
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: was on a muffed punt, uh, and the other was

324
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: a pick six by Jamal him. I'm just happy, Jamal

325
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: Adam said something to be happy about. That's where I'm

326
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: at right now. They go into their buy it oh

327
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: and three and hope to have Sam Donald back in

328
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: Week five against the Eagles where they can um kind

329
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: of regroup. As for the Patriots, Uh, very much. Uh,

330
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: business as usual. They they are limited right now on

331
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: offense a little bit because they have the injuries on

332
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: the offensive line. As we said, Antonio Brown is no

333
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: longer in the picture. Um, Julian Edelman leaves this game

334
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: with a chest injury. I believe they did tests and

335
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: it's not believed. It sounds like he's gonna be anything

336
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: too serious. But that's where they are right now. They

337
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: didn't really move the ball too well on the ground.

338
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: Brady started off red hot, cooled off as things went along,

339
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: but at that point the game was already well in hand.

340
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: So the Patriots take care of business. They're gonna evolve

341
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: right now. They're much different than last year, where I

342
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: think Brady is playing lights out and the rest of

343
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: the offense isn't quite there yet. But he's played. He

344
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: played this three game stretch I think was better and

345
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: certainly that the schedule has helped, but better than any

346
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: three game stretch of his personal UH performance during last

347
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 1: regular season. They also gave up a hundred and five

348
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 1: yards in this game, which was the lowest in the

349
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick era. So their defense, it'll be fun to

350
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: watch them against them. You know they're gonna play much

351
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 1: better competition. But right now, Jamie Collins has been such

352
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 1: a huge addition for what they do. I mean, a

353
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 1: year ago Jamie Collins whispers were that he was not

354
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 1: even trying playing for the Browns, So I don't know,

355
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: obviously they've flipped the switch on him, big surprise. But

356
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: they're up two dred yards to eight heading into the

357
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,360
Speaker 1: second quarter against the Jets, and I you know, it's

358
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: easy to pile them the Jets, But it's the kind

359
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: of season, with the way that it's going right now

360
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 1: that yes, I realize you don't have Donald in there,

361
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,679
Speaker 1: but it's been about as concerning a six day stretch

362
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: as you could imagine for a team, And and and

363
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 1: with the way that, depending on this plays out, I

364
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: wonder if Adam Caze gets a second season unless they

365
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: unless they they start to do what you'd think that

366
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 1: they hired him to do. I mean, the offense is

367
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 1: de vault them, and you worry about a guy like

368
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 1: Levy on building. I know I'm not trying again, not

369
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 1: trying to pile on, but I mean, Dan, am I wrong?

370
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: I feel I believe that it couldn't have gone worse.

371
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: Obviously the first three games of the season. However, he's

372
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 1: not all to blame. The offensive line, which he didn't

373
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: put together, has been worse than expected. They started their

374
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 1: third starting quarterback in three weeks. Luke Hawk is not

375
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,199
Speaker 1: an NFL player, and there's nothing If you go to

376
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 1: New England, the best defense in the league, with a

377
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: quarterback that's on an NFL quarterback, there's no way you're

378
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 1: gonna move the ball. And that's what happened now. I

379
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: don't want to let Gaze off the hook because, in

380
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: addition to the offensive line being wretched, in the quarterback

381
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 1: position being a travesty and a horrible situation for the franchise,

382
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: the play calling has been bad. But I don't know

383
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 1: how much to put into that, because what are you

384
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 1: supposed to do when you have this type of setup?

385
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: So basically you hit the dynamite, you push down on

386
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 1: the on the lever, everything explodes. Your season as a contender,

387
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 1: quote unquote is over. You hope to get Dar back,

388
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: and then I really think Gaze gets a chance to

389
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:07,199
Speaker 1: say I'm not a joke, I'm not the problem here. Um,

390
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 1: but I think the pressure is on him as soon

391
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: as they get out of this by to show something

392
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: on offense, and getting Donald back would be a big

393
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,679
Speaker 1: lift for toward that goal. Patriots opponents are oh and

394
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: nine this year. I don't think they've been tested for

395
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: two straight which you can't take anything really out of

396
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: these games. Um. I've been really disheartened by Bill Belichick

397
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: and I've lost so much respect for him in the

398
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 1: last two or three weeks. Um. The guy who's mantra

399
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: is do your job, treats these press conferences in interviews

400
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,199
Speaker 1: like a child, like an absolute child, who will not

401
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: take any responsibility, who will not answer why they signed

402
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, who will not answer why they released Antonio Brown.

403
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:51,640
Speaker 1: Just handles it like an absolute child having a fit,

404
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 1: and you won't explain why you did this. I just

405
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 1: I have no respect left for him. Yeah, they the interview.

406
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 1: I think probably that setting off with Dana Jake hup

407
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: Sin before the game. It was tough to watch him

408
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: staring staring her down. The timing of the release. You know,

409
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 1: they they clearly made a smart move to get rid

410
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: of him based on you know, what's happened even since

411
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: he joined the team. I believe that the leak, which

412
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: was self serving, that they did not know the allegations

413
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: that were about to happen one day after they sign him,

414
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: because of course, why why you would not sign a

415
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: person and give him that sort of money a day

416
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 1: before that's gonna drop. But the process they went through

417
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: after that fact, uh, to to have him active last

418
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: week was really strange. And it does sound like the

419
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: the text or the d MS that Brown sent to

420
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:47,199
Speaker 1: his accuser of the Bobby Clemco story Great journalism by

421
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 1: Robert Klemco was basically what got him cut from the

422
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: Patriots because that happened when he was on. It was

423
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 1: a little gross just to see everyone from Tom Brady

424
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: on cozy up to him the way they did after

425
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: they knew what was out there. And there are a

426
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 1: lot of Patriots fans who I'm sure you've heard the same,

427
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: are glad he's not on the team. Anymore. I only

428
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: everyone can be put in the same bundle, and I

429
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 1: would assume most they're relieved. I mean, and it's not

430
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 1: lobby Clemco said, journalist is just doing his job. Is

431
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 1: also getting docks on the internet for what it's worth,

432
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,400
Speaker 1: uh for outing Brown for his creep behavior. But and

433
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: by the way, I could put Philip or Set on

434
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 1: the field. This guy gets better each and every week. Yeah,

435
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 1: you don't need Antonio Brown. The thing with Belichick with

436
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,959
Speaker 1: the press conferences, that Jacobson thing was just uncalled for.

437
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 1: And I don't know what he was going for there,

438
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: but the fact that he would he walked off from

439
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 1: his last press press conference that came shortly before the release.

440
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 1: It's as if he believed that because he's Bill, Bill

441
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 1: Check and because they're the Patriots, he wouldn't have to

442
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: be answering these type of questions, which should have been

443
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 1: a foregone conclusion. If you bring this man into your building,

444
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,639
Speaker 1: that becomes part of your experience as head coach and

445
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: your organization. It almost felt like he thought he was

446
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: above that. But you weren't, Bill to do your job,

447
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: and and which is I think one of the reasons

448
00:21:58,040 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: they cut him is him having a deal with the

449
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: Patriot It they're okay, they're a great team, they're three

450
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: and oh they're steaming towards January again. But this was

451
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: not a good look for the organization. I don't care

452
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: if they didn't get they don't get hit in the

453
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: wallet on it. It It looks like they'll be able to

454
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 1: get out of the contract uh and they'll move on

455
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: because they're so good at moving on. But this I

456
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 1: believe was a boy and one quick thing. I mean,

457
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 1: Belichick gets too much of a free pass for treating

458
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: the media this way, because if another coach who hadn't

459
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 1: won as much as he had treated reporters this way,

460
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: it would be a major story. I mean, you can't

461
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: get away with that dismissed the behavior. But because it's

462
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, it's part of it's baked into his charm.

463
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: I guess to some that he dismisses the press this way,

464
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 1: it's a joke to most and on the and on

465
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 1: the Antonio Brown front. He then fires off an array

466
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 1: of tweets on Sunday morning, taking um shots at a

467
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,959
Speaker 1: bunch of people, including Robert Kraft, a reference to his

468
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: UH prostitution arrest. Also um ben Roethlisberger's past issues with women,

469
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: um basically hitting out and then challenge Jing, I guess

470
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 1: the players association to fight for me because the teams

471
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: shouldn't be able to take away my guaranteed money. Well,

472
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 1: nobody's playing the violin for you, and then deleted business

473
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,919
Speaker 1: a boom as because his agent probably is like you

474
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,479
Speaker 1: are taking money out of no. No one would be

475
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: screen capturing those tweets. You're fined by tweeting, but deleting them.

476
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: All right, let us move on another undefeated team, The

477
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers slot to the left side. They stacked

478
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: those two receivers in Davante de tatle of tandem from

479
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: the forty jumping into the neutral zone, Rogers says a

480
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: three player, so it appears rainfalls deep. Common Mark quest

481
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: Belles Standley give us down Free Bay forty yard farmb

482
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: Mark Quest Beldess scandling the Great Wayne Laravy for the

483
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: Packers radio network with the call Aaron Rodgers doing Aaron

484
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 1: Rodgers things. Rogers drew the Broncos off sides, then delivered

485
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: at forty yard touchdown strike to m v S two

486
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: thousand nineteen breakout candidate. The Packers a seven to sixteen

487
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: win at Lambeau. Green Bay moves to three and oh

488
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 1: under rookie head coach Matt LeFleur. At the Flower I do,

489
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:07,679
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't demand that you do, but I'm

490
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 1: glad that you are. I like it. The Broncos falled

491
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: oh and three under their rookie head coach. I don't

492
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,479
Speaker 1: need help with this one. The FASO West give us

493
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 1: a progress update on the Packers offense. Three weeks out

494
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: and three victories in Packers offense is still feast or famine.

495
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 1: It really depends, just has it as the last couple

496
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 1: of years, where whether Aaron Rodgers is hitting these big

497
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: plays or just missing these big plays. This was a

498
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 1: dominant ball control attack for the Broncos, dominated time and possession.

499
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,360
Speaker 1: But when you play that style to try to keep

500
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: the Packers off the field, you can't turn it over

501
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 1: three times. And Noah Offense, the rookie tight end who

502
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: looks like he's gonna have a really good career, has

503
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 1: been one of the most mistake prone players in the NFL.

504
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,199
Speaker 1: For the first three weeks of the season. He had

505
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 1: a really bad fumble in which Jayra Alexander stripped the ball,

506
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 1: and speaking of Alexander, the story of this game is

507
00:24:55,920 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 1: the Packers defense, specifically the offseason that Brian goodcas add

508
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: the draft, the draft that he had last year, taking

509
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: jayra Ex ound Alexander in the first round. This year

510
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: he comes back with Rashawn Gary, who got his first

511
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 1: career sack and also had a fumble recovery. Darnell Savage,

512
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,920
Speaker 1: who we've pointed out has been great so far. He

513
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: had a diving interception in this game. Preston Smith and

514
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: sa Darius Smith combined for five sacks today. What they're

515
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 1: big free agent acquisitions, Goutti is he's having like that

516
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: Bruce arians out in the parking lot. Let's get let's

517
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 1: get the pickup truck out and beers and let's just

518
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: sell him. He's doing like the Michael Jordan's shoulder shrug

519
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: he walks to the office. That's amazing. Wow. Thirty six

520
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: Russians for their the Broncoes running Philip Lindsay like Phillip

521
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 1: Lindsay's best game of the year. Royce Freeman lost in

522
00:25:56,280 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 1: eighteen yard touchdown to a bad whole team penalty on

523
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders. Just a really big call by the reps

524
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: on that one. It took a touchdown off the board

525
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: and then Flacole ultimately got sacked on third down in

526
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: that series. Flacco, you know, I don't think he was

527
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:16,439
Speaker 1: the primary problem. The concentration should be on their defense,

528
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: not on their offense. They don't have a sack or

529
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: a takeaway, and still they do not check. Barrett is

530
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: eight sacks. He was on the roster last year. This

531
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: team is zero. Now. They almost had a Gholston today

532
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: and it was one QB hit for the whole team.

533
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: And the last two weeks everyone saying, well the quarterbacks

534
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 1: getting the ball out of their hands quickly, that's not

535
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: happening when it's Aaron Rodgers the pastor just for whatever

536
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: reason isn't getting there. But you know it did get there.

537
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 1: That goody music. I mean, just the tip to the

538
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: guys and girls out there, like if you're if you're

539
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: a significant other, you know in the mood, you know

540
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: you're trying to get them in the mood, just kind

541
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: of things, are going to put this on and just

542
00:26:55,880 --> 00:27:00,360
Speaker 1: lots the magic flat and this is the way. Yes, yes, well,

543
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: before he got into football, this was his his trade.

544
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 1: He was a hardcore German rapper if I'm a Broncos fan,

545
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe we'll talk to West, maybe turn

546
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 1: this this experience off and check back in. I don't

547
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 1: need u thirteen more games of Joe Flatt, I don't.

548
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 1: I know it's not all Joe Flacco's issues, but there's

549
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,479
Speaker 1: just an I can't imagine. You can't trap a more

550
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 1: uninspiring scenario to season. To your point, your criticism or

551
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 1: the idea that Adam Adam Gaze should be criticized, which

552
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: I think is totally fair, isn't Fongio the defensive version

553
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 1: of that. This guy has a well earned reputation as

554
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 1: a defensive mastermind. The fact that he would take over

555
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: as a head coach, and Greg you mentioned a couple

556
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: of weeks ago the difference between going from upstairs that

557
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 1: down on the sideline and how that changes a lot

558
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: about how you do your job on game days. Maybe

559
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 1: that will be a story coming up. I mean this

560
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 1: to have no sacks, to be this ineffective on defense

561
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 1: with that talent you can the margin for air is

562
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 1: so small you They did move the ball much better

563
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 1: than the Bears last week, and they lost in that

564
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: killer past. They did move the ball and hold it

565
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,199
Speaker 1: much better than the on the road. But and they

566
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 1: moved a second half better than the Raiders in the

567
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,360
Speaker 1: season opener. They have looked good for Spurts, but not overall.

568
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: And what did Emmanuel Sanders say after the game. We're

569
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 1: in a world of suck right now, as I'm in

570
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 1: a world of pain and the heat in the studio

571
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: this it is uncomfortable, but we are forging on. We

572
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 1: are a thirteen billion dollar company. I mean, it doesn't

573
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: help it. You know, off camera there is like asbestos

574
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: falling from the ceiling on us too. So I'm not

575
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: even sure we're gonna get to the the next game.

576
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: Please just second down eight at the Miami nineteen in

577
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: the gun, Elliott goes out in the pattern to the

578
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 1: right and froze it down to the call O the

579
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: pockets touchdown the Fangio. Two touchouts today for Amari Cooper

580
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: and that was a perfect nineteen yards strike. Frump Crush

581
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,719
Speaker 1: Scott nineteen to nineteen. We've heard a lot from him

582
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: early on this season. He's Brad Sham, the sham god

583
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: of k R L D Dak Prescott through two touchdown

584
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: passes to a MARII Cooper. He also ran for a score,

585
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys they righted themselves after sluggish start, knocking

586
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: off the Dolphins thirty one to six. Mark, if Miami

587
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: executes better in this game, we might actually have something

588
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: approaching an athletic contest in the second half. But they

589
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 1: did not execute. And uh, you know the Desert people

590
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: who set that really big number, they were right. I

591
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: think Dak Prescott has raised the bar on his own

592
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: performance that what we saw today. People were panicking a

593
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: little bit and concerned about where he was at halftime,

594
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: but a year ago it would have been sort of

595
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: every game we expect from Dak Prescott. They were fine.

596
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: I I think you know, Miami is gonna not lose

597
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: every single contest fifty to nothing. Uh, the Cowboys were

598
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 1: a little sluggish, but they had two yred yard rushers

599
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 1: in this game and dominated by the end. Wouldn't be

600
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: concerned if I'm Dallas overall. To me, you just I

601
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: don't know what to take from these Dolphins games. How

602
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: do you self scout when you go out and win

603
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 1: thirty one to six. It was not Dallas's best performance

604
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: by any stretch of the imagination. Similar to the Jets,

605
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: and Pats, like, did the Cowboys come out of this

606
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: game healthy? They got the win. We knew that was

607
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 1: gonna happen. Are they okay health wise as they moved forward? Well, yeah,

608
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: I think they're fine. I mean, it's they took care

609
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: of business. I don't know the Dolphins to me, we've

610
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 1: already discussed them at length. But I don't know how

611
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: you keep this this locker room engaged because you're you're

612
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: we're trying to. They had the sunniest half they've had

613
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: all year. They were down ten to six after two.

614
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 1: Quite they were. They were up on the Cowboys about

615
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: fifty total yards. They had two yards. Josh Rosen did

616
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: give them a spark, it sounds like in the first half,

617
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: and then in Kenyan Drake fumbled inside the ten right

618
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 1: as the first half was ending, and then that would

619
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: seem to be it. Let's put this tank job in perspective.

620
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: Since nineteen fifty, more than half the NFL teams have

621
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: been added to the league starting from scratch as expansion teams.

622
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 1: Since nineteen fifty, no defense has allowed more than a

623
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty three points that the Dolphins have allowed

624
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: in the first three games of the season. Since nineteen fifty,

625
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: no team has had a worse point differential than the

626
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 1: Dolphins minus one seventeen. Since nineteen fifty, only one team

627
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: has had a worse yards differential than the Dolphins minus

628
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 1: eight thirty one, and the top four of that list

629
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: is three expansion teams and the two thousand nineteen Miami Dolphins.

630
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 1: This is worse than an expansion team. Can't happen. Didn't

631
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 1: have to be Um the Dallas running game, Zeke who

632
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: still seems to be getting warmed up. Nineteen for Tony Pollard.

633
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: This guy can play thirteen for one oh three in

634
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 1: the touch they had two thirty five yards on the ground.

635
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 1: I think that's great for the I mean we could

636
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: see Tony Pollard in the preseason looking like a special

637
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 1: player and someone that was going to have a role,

638
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 1: and I love how they're using him. He had thirteen

639
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: carries today, Elliott had nineteen. The playmakers coming out of

640
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 1: their ears, let us move up five seconds on the

641
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: play clock. Quick snap, Propito pro same zone. He cocks,

642
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 1: team says, get Greg Papa the papa there And that

643
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: was Tim Ryan Cackle, just cackling and happiness and confusion.

644
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 1: Forty forty Niners Radio Network. Jimmy g threw a five

645
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: yard touchdown pass Pettis with one fifteen to play, and

646
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 1: the Niners overcame five turnovers, including I believe three in

647
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: their red zone in the red zone to beat the

648
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers twenty um. For the Niners it is their

649
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: first three and oh start uh in twenty one years

650
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: and um and for the Steelers their own three and

651
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 1: talked about on Thursday A show, this felt like the

652
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 1: type of game that Pittsburgh circles the wagons as they say,

653
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: and the Mike Tomilera and find it, finds a way

654
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: to win. And Chris Westling let me, I'm gonna set

655
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: you up on this one because you had a good

656
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: point on Twitter. First of all, good job with a

657
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 1: good point. It happens, I'm not yet. When they traded

658
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: for Minca Fitzpatrick, who by the way, had a big

659
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 1: role in this game. He had an interception I believe

660
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: he forced the fumble as well. Um. It led to

661
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 1: a lot of discussion about how many first and high

662
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: round picks on defense the Steelers have and Keith Butler

663
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: and defensive coordinator you pointed out, Hey, Keith better make

664
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 1: this work now well twice. After a slow start by

665
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph in which he couldn't really get anything going

666
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 1: on in the first half and it he looked lost,

667
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 1: he connects on a catch and run touchdown with Juju

668
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: Smith Schuster that covers about ninety yards uh. That puts

669
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: him ahead and a meat the Steelers defense coughs it up.

670
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: Then Rudolph does it again. He takes the Steelers down

671
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: the field, puts them back in the lead in the

672
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:11,320
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, and at that point the Pittsburgh Steelers defense

673
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 1: needs to win that game and take it home, but

674
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: they didn't. Jimmy g and credit to the Niners go

675
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 1: down the field and then three and oh, and there's

676
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 1: a lot of good reason for optimism in San Francisco.

677
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: But that's stunned me that Pittsburgh, in a cornered animal

678
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: game with their season on their line, could not find

679
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: a way to take that game home. They have shown

680
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: the Steelers have shown flashes of dominance on defense this

681
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 1: year for quarters at a time, but as Gregg has

682
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: pointed out, it's only for quarters at the time, and

683
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 1: then second halfs of games. You're not stopping anybody. And

684
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,320
Speaker 1: from what I've seen. It's mostly the second area. I

685
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 1: want to see how well Minca played. Supposedly he was

686
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 1: making big plays today, but they're still allowing too many

687
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: big plays on their defense, so I really want to

688
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: see that. But you're right that they have way too

689
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,280
Speaker 1: much talent on this defense, and this is an organization

690
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 1: does not give up first round picks. They will not

691
00:34:58,040 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 1: have a first round pick next year for the first

692
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 1: time since nineteen. Well, the pressure is on. You gotta

693
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:04,840
Speaker 1: win games or else that pick is gonna be in

694
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: the top five or six. I think Devin Bush and

695
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 1: Mark Baron, who we talked about going into this game,

696
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: they struggled and covered just in terms of the PFF score,

697
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,359
Speaker 1: we're big time liability again. Baron. Baron's kind of killing them.

698
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 1: The story though, just looking at this from as far

699
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 1: as that the forty Niners do have a defense, and

700
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,800
Speaker 1: I know they're playing Mason Rudolf in a struggling offense,

701
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 1: but the forty Niners had the type of defense that

702
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,839
Speaker 1: would struggle against any offenses. And right now they've played

703
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 1: three teams who aren't great on offense, the Bucks, the Bengals,

704
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:36,839
Speaker 1: and the Steelers, and you know what, they've they've shut

705
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,479
Speaker 1: them all down. They give up two thirty nine yards today.

706
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 1: They kept their team in it despite all the turnovers.

707
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,439
Speaker 1: That is a big time change from a year ago.

708
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,399
Speaker 1: And you know, of course the right it's why they're

709
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: three and o. It's why you know there's reason to

710
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 1: believe they can stick around in this thing. Their neck

711
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 1: and neck with the Packers for the most improved defense

712
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: in the league. You're not getting last year's James Conner

713
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 1: right now at this point. One thing I noticed, and

714
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 1: I know this stealers and they've seen this in the

715
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 1: in the stretches where they haven't been dominant on defense

716
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,839
Speaker 1: this year. They got eaten up by the Niners ground game.

717
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:09,760
Speaker 1: Towards the end of this thing. They were just running

718
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: right up through the belly of Pittsburgh defense. And that

719
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,320
Speaker 1: was concerning to watch. Well, that's gotta be because the

720
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 1: offense couldn't control the clock at all. Right, defenses out

721
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: there the whole game. And Connor had the turning point

722
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 1: in the game after the nine has turned it over

723
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 1: the fifth and final time on another UH fumble deep

724
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:31,439
Speaker 1: in Steelers territory. It looked like they the Pittsburgh would

725
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 1: have a chance to run out the clock or at

726
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 1: least add on some UM insurance points and Connor coughs

727
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 1: it up, which led to UM the final score. So

728
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 1: you know, leavy on Bell, that guy held onto the

729
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 1: ball and you miss him right now. The Steelers miss

730
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:50,439
Speaker 1: they miss Antonio. Brown's not getting smith Schuster going off.

731
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 1: You know, week after week it's been the opposite. Well,

732
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 1: I mean, the big Ben's absence, I think is gonna

733
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: put a cap on smith Schuster ceiling there. I mean

734
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 1: their own three and that's it. They had to win

735
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:02,240
Speaker 1: this game, and they didn't win this game. Their offense

736
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: doesn't look good at any point really this year. They're

737
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 1: pretty much done. And uh, that's it for that game.

738
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,439
Speaker 1: Let's keep moving. This could be the ball game. Urts

739
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 1: has got it back on fourth and fifteen, looks pumps once,

740
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,439
Speaker 1: looks press the comps from behind. Now he throws deep

741
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 1: down field. Fit is knocked away incomplete, picked up defensive

742
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 1: play bras Shawn Melton on the past, intended for J

743
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:28,399
Speaker 1: J Arthago white side and the Lions will take over

744
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 1: on downs and this thing is over, baby, execute three

745
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:36,240
Speaker 1: snaps from we out of here. Nice job, Dan Miller

746
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: of Lions Radio and neerk. Although I must I don't

747
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 1: want to correct Dan, but I will say that it

748
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 1: wasn't so much of a great defensive play by the

749
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,880
Speaker 1: defensive back, but he dropped another killer drop when you

750
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 1: watched on replay Dan on Dan cry j j Arthega

751
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 1: Whiteside had the seventh and most crushing of drops for

752
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 1: the Eagles on Sunday. He could not hold on to

753
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 1: a beautifully beautifully thrown Carson Wentz downfield past would have

754
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 1: put UH the Eagles first and goal essentially at the

755
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 1: one yard line UH in the final minute of the game. Instead,

756
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 1: it was dropped fourth down. Game over four, the Lions

757
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 1: beat the Eagles and in Philly. So I and I

758
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 1: don't want to um take anything away from the Lions

759
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: because they're undefeated. How about that they they gagged away

760
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 1: Week one into a tie, but then they found a

761
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 1: way to be in a Chargers team that shot itself

762
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: in the foot, and the Eagles kind of did the

763
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 1: same thing in this game. But there's there's something to

764
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 1: be said for a team that finds a way to

765
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,399
Speaker 1: take advantage of other teams mistakes, and that's what Matt

766
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 1: Patricia's team has done so far this year. So that

767
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 1: is my takeaway on the Lions right now that I

768
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: don't believe they are necessarily a good football team. And uh,

769
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: in my power rankings exercise I do weekly, I got

770
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:57,879
Speaker 1: absolutely slaughtered by Lions fans for putting three NFC North

771
00:38:57,920 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: teams in the top ten and leaving the lines out

772
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 1: of the station. I'm not gonna have them zooming into

773
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 1: the top ten this week either because I don't necessarily

774
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 1: buy them. But credit where credits? Do you go to

775
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 1: Philly and beat an undermanned Eagles team? Will you got

776
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 1: to win? And you deserve something? I don't know. I

777
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 1: don't know if a team in the league has gotten

778
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 1: not luckier but more fortunate to play in a Chargers

779
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 1: team last week in the Eagles this week about as

780
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 1: banged up as they both could be, and the Eagles

781
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 1: just simply don't have enough people on on the field

782
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 1: right now. That said, and I hear you, while not

783
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 1: sticking them in the top ten or anything, I love

784
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 1: teams more than anything. In September and October, that changed

785
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 1: my long standing perception of them. Now they haven't entirely

786
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 1: done that yet the Lions, but they aren't boring getting

787
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 1: excited about just standing away games. They to me have

788
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 1: been the most boring team in the NFL since I've

789
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 1: worked here and over the past ten years. And I'm

790
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: not saying they're lighting up America at this point, but

791
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: if you're Matt Patricia to be two oh and one

792
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 1: at this stage, things could be a lot worse. Yeah,

793
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 1: they lighting up America. Here's the thing, though, when you

794
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 1: start off, you know, maybe not lighting the world on fire,

795
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 1: but you stack wins. They can get better too. The

796
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:09,840
Speaker 1: Lions could be a much better team in December, especially

797
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:11,800
Speaker 1: defensively than they are right now. I think they're a

798
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: better team defense than they are in terms of individual stars.

799
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 1: They're not really getting stand out players. And the one

800
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 1: thing that stands out to me is I kind of

801
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: like this Matthew Stafford better than a Jim Bob Cooder

802
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford. This is the Matthew Staffords that's using his

803
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 1: big arm to throw down the field, that's being a

804
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:30,360
Speaker 1: little more aggressive, can fire it in there like we

805
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 1: we liked. We like the Cootter. It helped him out

806
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 1: for a little while those time and throws, but after

807
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 1: a while it's like you've got the biggest arm in

808
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: the league. Let's see it, and we've seen it in

809
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 1: the last few weeks. This is a show, show your

810
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,800
Speaker 1: face team to me. The Lions. So they were dominant

811
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,359
Speaker 1: for three quarters in the opener against the Cardinals, then

812
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 1: gave up what twenty seven points? That's not good. And

813
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 1: then against the Chargers, the Chargers are rolling, they're rolling,

814
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 1: and then two touchdowns get called back, a fumble at

815
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 1: the goal line they got. The Lions got a lot

816
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 1: of breaks in that game, and as Mark pointed out,

817
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:05,400
Speaker 1: the injuries to the opponent. And then this week they

818
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:08,360
Speaker 1: play a really injured Eagles team. I haven't seen this

819
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 1: game yet, but I really want the lines. Are they

820
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 1: gonna be consistent, consistently good or just taking advantage of

821
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 1: a bad team. That's the NFL, NFL, and it's it's

822
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:18,359
Speaker 1: such a bar. It's kind of a boring point to make.

823
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 1: But there's not that much separating most of these teams.

824
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:22,880
Speaker 1: The Broncos are not that far off from being too

825
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 1: and one. So many of these teams, the Chargers and

826
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 1: the Texans, who will talk about later, all three of

827
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 1: each of their games has come down to the last possession,

828
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 1: and it's just a couple of little things sometimes. And

829
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:33,320
Speaker 1: it's the same for the Eagles, who are you know,

830
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 1: the potential game winning catch falls to the ground last week,

831
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 1: same thing happens today. You now have a short week

832
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:41,879
Speaker 1: and have to go play the Packers in Green Bay

833
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,399
Speaker 1: on Thursday night. And this is a team I thought

834
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 1: the Eagles were gonna start five and one or six

835
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 1: and oh, and you're staring down one and three if

836
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:50,959
Speaker 1: you don't take care of business in a tough ask

837
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:53,240
Speaker 1: in Green Bay. Yeah, they're getting killed with the timing

838
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 1: here because they are. They lost more players. Jason Peters

839
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 1: came out of this game with an illness. The offensive line,

840
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 1: UH is missing multiple players. The fact that they don't

841
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 1: have Alshon Jeffrey and de Sean Jackson is showing up

842
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 1: with all these drops. Carson wins. You love. I love

843
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz and he played so great in this game.

844
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:14,400
Speaker 1: He I loved how he played, even though he was

845
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,360
Speaker 1: imperfect last week, UH in the loss of the Falcons.

846
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:19,800
Speaker 1: He deserved a much better fate in this game. And

847
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 1: I'll call attention um when you fire up your game

848
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:28,839
Speaker 1: pass not you're condensed anymore? Markets Now what Gametrix game

849
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: in forty which you know it's a it's a wonderful product.

850
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:34,840
Speaker 1: I think it has given some people a sense of

851
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,400
Speaker 1: liberty just to you know, to do a nice chunky

852
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,279
Speaker 1: fifty and twenty seconds after the play ends. I like

853
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 1: my editing on those games sparse and right down to

854
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 1: the bone. I want those games to be about thirty

855
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:47,320
Speaker 1: one minutes. I got too much other stuff going on

856
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 1: in my life to be spending forty plus minutes on

857
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 1: these games. I mean, yes, there are other things I

858
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:56,759
Speaker 1: could be doing and watching. You know, some of these teams,

859
00:42:56,760 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 1: I understand some of these teams want were into watchless territory,

860
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:04,800
Speaker 1: like I'm gonna bounce on you. Sorry. That reminds me

861
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 1: of how was Hustlers. We didn't get the official overview movie. Well,

862
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 1: now it's solid solid, Well just give it a give

863
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 1: it a solid B minus. Yeah, that's not Oscar Worthy.

864
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:19,359
Speaker 1: Everyone's buzzing about ja I like j low in a lot,

865
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 1: but Oscar Worth. Come on. There are multiple points in

866
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 1: this game where the Eagles had a chance and it

867
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 1: seemed like they were gonna just take over. Uh. None

868
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 1: more so than late in the game one to play

869
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:35,439
Speaker 1: the Eagles um block Matt Prayers forty six yard field

870
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 1: goal try. They scoop it up. The Eagles do run

871
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:40,360
Speaker 1: it back to the twenty two of the Lions and

872
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:42,279
Speaker 1: so and they're all set up and a legal block

873
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 1: on Jenkins pushes it back to midfield. It was a

874
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 1: questionable illegal block. Check it out, West, I'm condensed and

875
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:51,399
Speaker 1: forty uh A. Darren sprowls fourth and five gets called

876
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 1: back for O p I and then of course Arthago

877
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:57,400
Speaker 1: Whiteside blows it. Uh So the Eagles are in a

878
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 1: tough way and the Lions are un defeated as we

879
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 1: will enter the last week of September. Who would have

880
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:07,360
Speaker 1: guessed it. I want to see an NFL game where

881
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 1: the refs are not allowed to throw a single flag,

882
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,400
Speaker 1: but the players don't know that the refs aren't allowed

883
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:15,880
Speaker 1: to throw. He may figure it out midway through the

884
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:18,799
Speaker 1: second quarter. I like this, let's move on. This will

885
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:22,760
Speaker 1: be a forty four yard field goal or actually thirty

886
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 1: four yard field goal to win the game for Papa Pinion.

887
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:33,359
Speaker 1: The holder snap spot kick on its way and it's

888
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:36,759
Speaker 1: no good. He missed it way missed the kick, and

889
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 1: the Giants win their first game of the season by

890
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 1: Papa w f a n with the call Matt gay

891
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 1: Blewett two s p A T s and that chip

892
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 1: shot field goal, allowing the Giants to escape with a

893
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:59,399
Speaker 1: thirty win over the Bucks. Terrible. Also the Bucks great

894
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 1: comeback for the Giants and the star and the story

895
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:06,720
Speaker 1: of this game, uh is Danny Dimes, the rookie quarterback

896
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,239
Speaker 1: through for third three thirty six and two touchdowns. Also

897
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 1: ran for two touchdowns, including the go ahead score with

898
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 1: one sixteen to play. Giants came back from eighteen down

899
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:20,160
Speaker 1: in this game. Wes um. We've been waiting to see

900
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 1: Danny Dimes play in games that matter, Well, we got

901
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 1: it today. I thought he was impressive from the opening

902
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 1: drive throughout. There was a bit of a lull uh,

903
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:33,399
Speaker 1: probably late second quarter where the Giants weren't doing much.

904
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 1: The Bucks went ahead to ten at halftime, and then

905
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 1: Evan and Graham seventy five yard touchdown on the first

906
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:44,799
Speaker 1: play of the second half. Uh. Daniel Jones is another

907
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 1: forty six yard bomb. I believe in the next series

908
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 1: that sets up another touchdown and before you know it

909
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:55,280
Speaker 1: game and this came down to the end. Daniel Jones

910
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 1: on that game to go ahead drive, just marching down

911
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:02,360
Speaker 1: the field was decisive. Confident, knew what to do, and

912
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: then you know, the prairie land opened up on that

913
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 1: touchdown run. I believe he's the first Giants quarterback ever

914
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:10,919
Speaker 1: with two rushing tds and two passing tds in a game.

915
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 1: He also led them to their biggest comeback since nineteen seventy.

916
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,320
Speaker 1: He's now want to know when trailing by eighteen or

917
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:22,279
Speaker 1: more points, Eli Manning. This is not a knock on Eli,

918
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 1: but oh and forty four in those games, that's just

919
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 1: how hard it is to come back from eighteen down.

920
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:29,840
Speaker 1: Take your victory lap, West, It's not well, yeah, this

921
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 1: is a nice world that we live in now where

922
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:35,560
Speaker 1: West has some palpable excitement about the New York Giants.

923
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:38,959
Speaker 1: It we have never experienced this at all. I would

924
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 1: compare it to this when I was going through chemotherapy

925
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 1: and I couldn't hold anything down. There was one night

926
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,280
Speaker 1: where I was getting brave and I was like Quisia sleeping,

927
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go try out some peanut butter crackers, Like

928
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 1: that's gonna be the best thing I've eaten in four months.

929
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 1: I went to eat the peanut butter crackers and they

930
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 1: were stale. It was like eating you know, soft plaster.

931
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:02,799
Speaker 1: That's what Manning watching has been for three or four years,

932
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 1: eating stale crackers every single week. This time the crackers

933
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:11,799
Speaker 1: head crack crunch. I thought you were going to say

934
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 1: that that you ate them, and then you threw them

935
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:16,359
Speaker 1: up and that was like watching Eli Man. No, it's

936
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:20,360
Speaker 1: just the Yeah, if some stale every single time, you

937
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 1: know what it's gonna be. You see the like the

938
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 1: suddenly the Giants have a quarterback who's not athletically limited

939
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 1: to and they kept mentioning what he can do that

940
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:30,880
Speaker 1: Eli cant and we all know that elies an iron

941
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 1: man and and someone that if you're a Giants fan,

942
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:35,319
Speaker 1: you love Eli Mann in the history of the guy.

943
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 1: But they've needed this for so long. And Sequon Barkley

944
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:41,600
Speaker 1: was lost in this game to an ankle injury, and

945
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 1: it I don't and I mean they they thrived even

946
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 1: without him. I thought that simply would not have happened

947
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:50,960
Speaker 1: a week ago. Go watch that Giants Bills game and

948
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 1: look how limited that attack was. They thrived without say

949
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley and Daniel Jones succeeded despite Shack Barrett like

950
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 1: launching and all out campaign on defensive player of the year.

951
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 1: This guy has eight sacks in three games. What three sacks?

952
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:08,040
Speaker 1: Last week? I think he was Defensive player of the week.

953
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 1: They gotta give it to him again this week because

954
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 1: he had four in this game, two forced fumbles, and

955
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:15,400
Speaker 1: I think if that's the one thing Giants fans probably

956
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:17,680
Speaker 1: are a little bit. Actually they don't even care because

957
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:20,799
Speaker 1: they're riding high right now. But the one thing people

958
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:22,880
Speaker 1: worried about in the preseason was the ball security for

959
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones and one of the one of the fumbles

960
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 1: was definitely on him being too casual in the pockets

961
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:29,840
Speaker 1: they had to The other one was Shack Barrett just

962
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 1: doing Shack Barrett. It doesn't get any brutal of a

963
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 1: loss for the Buccaneers in this To lose a twenty

964
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:39,239
Speaker 1: eight to ten lead is bad enough, but then to

965
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 1: lose it and then to watch Jamis Winston throw a

966
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 1: fifty five yard or down the field, puts you inside

967
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:48,480
Speaker 1: the ten yard line and you think you wanted again.

968
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:50,760
Speaker 1: And then to lose it, that's like losing it twice.

969
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 1: That is brutin. And this is the crazy thing. Arians

970
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 1: takes a five yard delay of game penalty to back

971
00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:01,800
Speaker 1: up his kicker, who who had missed the extra points earlier,

972
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 1: Matt gay Um. And here was his explanation why he

973
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 1: did that prior to the game ending miss. What happened

974
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 1: at the end there when you got the five yard

975
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:18,759
Speaker 1: penalty delayed What happened there? I just took it on purpose. Yeah,

976
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 1: I want to feel he's better back. That field goes

977
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:24,239
Speaker 1: easier back five yards No, no sense, Hurrian, We want

978
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:25,879
Speaker 1: to move the ball over, put it in the middle

979
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:28,919
Speaker 1: and uh and make it an easy feel at all. Yeah,

980
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 1: I mean, Matty, get out of the building. You cannot

981
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:35,560
Speaker 1: miss that kick. It's it. And everyone listen to podcast.

982
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 1: I'm always team kicker, and I defend these guys, and

983
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 1: I don't think kickers get enough credit about how hard

984
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:44,360
Speaker 1: their job is. But sometimes you just gotta make the

985
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:47,360
Speaker 1: kick because so many people are affected by you on

986
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:50,640
Speaker 1: that miss. Bruce Arians on the sideline, Jameis Winston on

987
00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 1: the sideline. It totally changes the course of their season

988
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:57,360
Speaker 1: potentially because you can't hit a thirty or four yarder.

989
00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:00,080
Speaker 1: And if you're a coach thinks that he needs to

990
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:02,760
Speaker 1: do things like take penalties to make you more comfortable,

991
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:04,600
Speaker 1: You're not the guy. You shouldn't be the kicker in

992
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 1: the first place. I'd like to see the data on

993
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:11,200
Speaker 1: five yards further back being an easier kick. Yeah, brutal,

994
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:13,360
Speaker 1: because he did make four kicks in that game. I

995
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:15,719
Speaker 1: the thing is that Bruce Arians is a savvy guy,

996
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 1: and I appreciate in general his brutal honesty when asked

997
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:23,160
Speaker 1: all sorts of typical softball type questions. But when you

998
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:26,920
Speaker 1: say this, and we're all here mystified by the strategy

999
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:30,320
Speaker 1: to create a longer attempt for your kicker who is

1000
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:33,840
Speaker 1: not exactly you know, Martin Grammatica times one thousand. If

1001
00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:38,080
Speaker 1: that was even a good kicker kick, if you multiplied

1002
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:40,320
Speaker 1: him by a thousand, you would be the greatest. However,

1003
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:46,479
Speaker 1: said by I mean, why put those words out there

1004
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 1: for us to dissect and everyone to dissect all week

1005
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:53,200
Speaker 1: long after a totally brutal, painful loss. Is that, honestly

1006
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:56,439
Speaker 1: what Arians was thinking by taking that penalty. I guess

1007
00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 1: you takes good the bed with him, He's going to

1008
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:00,759
Speaker 1: tell you what's on his mind and and what I'm

1009
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:02,880
Speaker 1: a good example of what I'm saying, Like on this

1010
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 1: very show Thursday, Mark, I think it was you was saying,

1011
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:08,080
Speaker 1: is this what you know Bruce Ariens came back for

1012
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:12,040
Speaker 1: to the hope that Tod Bowls defense is gonna take you. Well,

1013
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 1: here's a game where Winston throwser yards and three touchdowns

1014
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:18,680
Speaker 1: and connects with Mike Evans on this huge clutch play

1015
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:21,280
Speaker 1: that should have set the season on a different course.

1016
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:23,800
Speaker 1: In the kicker after a great win over the Panthers,

1017
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:26,719
Speaker 1: that's completely lost. That feels like a thousand yeller at

1018
00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:28,879
Speaker 1: this point. This will get lost in the Daniel Jones

1019
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:31,719
Speaker 1: hoop la, but you will not see a more lopsided

1020
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:36,160
Speaker 1: receiver versus cornerback matchup probably all year. Then, Mike Evans

1021
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:40,320
Speaker 1: just taking the soul of Jack Rabbit Jenkins over and

1022
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:43,480
Speaker 1: over and over again. Throughout this game. It was like

1023
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:47,880
Speaker 1: craigy Low trying to guard Michael Jordan's rabbit. Maybe no

1024
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:50,239
Speaker 1: more talking Jack Rabbit, all right, before we move on,

1025
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:52,759
Speaker 1: I gotta hear that, Yeah, that Buck's call of the

1026
00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:55,239
Speaker 1: Matt game. Miss, Let's hear it. It comes down to

1027
00:51:55,320 --> 00:52:00,720
Speaker 1: a rookie kicker warring green and yellow shoes. Jean Decker

1028
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 1: are better from the twenty four or thirty four yard

1029
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:08,359
Speaker 1: field goals, the spot down kick his hair born. It's

1030
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:11,479
Speaker 1: long enough long enough it is. It is no good

1031
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:15,320
Speaker 1: how the Giants win by one thirty one? What a

1032
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:20,440
Speaker 1: probe DeCross You sounded suspicious of those shoes to begin with. Alright,

1033
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:25,800
Speaker 1: let's check in with the New Orleans Saints. Snap his

1034
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:28,279
Speaker 1: back and the kick is away to high punt but

1035
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:31,480
Speaker 1: short Harris fields it at the forty. It makes two

1036
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:36,280
Speaker 1: Messi's off to the races the forty thirty. Deante Harris

1037
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:39,080
Speaker 1: into the ends on those fags on the field and

1038
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 1: the Saints strikes first on special teams. Deante Harris took

1039
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:48,160
Speaker 1: the punt back fifty three yards to the house, the

1040
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:52,600
Speaker 1: first punt returned for a touchdown all year. Who Teddy

1041
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:55,440
Speaker 1: Bridgewater throw two touchdown passes in his first start in

1042
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:58,920
Speaker 1: place of Drew Brees, and the Saints beat the Seahawks

1043
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:04,719
Speaker 1: thirty three to uh in a game that really wasn't

1044
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 1: that close, Greig, This was a game that uh the

1045
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 1: Saints showed up, balled out. Seattle got a late touchdown,

1046
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:15,799
Speaker 1: but good start all around for a very strange game

1047
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:18,480
Speaker 1: where the Seahawks dominated in the first half. But it

1048
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:20,839
Speaker 1: was kind of an Everything that can go wrong did

1049
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:22,879
Speaker 1: go wrong for the Seahawks. They give up the punt

1050
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:26,640
Speaker 1: return touchdown. They have the fumble return touchdown on a

1051
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 1: Chris Carson fumble that goes back. So the Saints put

1052
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:33,480
Speaker 1: up fourteen points without doing anything on offense, their punters

1053
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:35,920
Speaker 1: having a great game, you know, pinning the Seahawks way

1054
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:39,920
Speaker 1: back Russell Wilson's fourteen for fifteen hundred fifty yards in

1055
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:43,080
Speaker 1: a touchdown, and they're down to seven at the time.

1056
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:44,840
Speaker 1: So on one hand, yeah, it's about a lot of

1057
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:47,000
Speaker 1: bad luck. On the other hand, when the Saints came

1058
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 1: out after halftime, that was their best stretch of the

1059
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:52,640
Speaker 1: game offensively and defensively. They put the game away. And

1060
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:55,200
Speaker 1: you know, for all the talk of you know, running backs,

1061
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:57,319
Speaker 1: you know, don't make that big of a difference. I mean,

1062
00:53:57,400 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 1: it was a huge difference in this game. Chris Carmon

1063
00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:02,319
Speaker 1: Carson slipped and fell three different times in the first half,

1064
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:04,640
Speaker 1: and he lost the fumble return for a touchan. Meanwhile,

1065
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:07,319
Speaker 1: Avan Kamara I asked on the Thursday show, let's see

1066
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:10,400
Speaker 1: an MVP type performance, and this that this was exactly that.

1067
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 1: I think he had a hundred and sixty one yards

1068
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:16,000
Speaker 1: from scrimmage. The rest of the team had a hundred

1069
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 1: and four and so many of those yards were in

1070
00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:22,319
Speaker 1: the passing game, breaking tackles after he was hit very hard,

1071
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 1: including by Jadeveon Clowney. When you can run through Jadeveon Clowney,

1072
00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:27,759
Speaker 1: you're something special. A huge win for the Saints. I

1073
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:30,880
Speaker 1: I realized the game that's not as close as the score.

1074
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:33,080
Speaker 1: But there was a sequence at the end of the

1075
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:36,880
Speaker 1: first half where the Seahawks had about thirty three seconds

1076
00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:39,799
Speaker 1: to play with and decided not to take a time

1077
00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:43,360
Speaker 1: out as they were aiming to score, I believe, and

1078
00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:46,719
Speaker 1: Will Wilson hit dk Metcalf on a fifty four yard

1079
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:48,440
Speaker 1: or that would have put them in position for at

1080
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:50,880
Speaker 1: least a field goal, if not more, and time just

1081
00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:53,760
Speaker 1: ran out because Pete Carroll, one of the smartest coaches

1082
00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:57,399
Speaker 1: we've ever watched coach football, did not take a time

1083
00:54:57,400 --> 00:54:59,200
Speaker 1: out there. Tony Romo was killing him and I thought

1084
00:54:59,239 --> 00:55:00,839
Speaker 1: he was right to. Yeah, he had two times out.

1085
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:02,440
Speaker 1: It was a rough day for Pete. He got hit

1086
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:06,759
Speaker 1: in the face football before the game. Yeah, it left

1087
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:09,840
Speaker 1: a pretty big mark on his nose. They went for

1088
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:13,280
Speaker 1: it on fourth down three different times. Uh So credit

1089
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:15,760
Speaker 1: to him for being aggressive. But the Saints run defense

1090
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:17,840
Speaker 1: and we've talked about their defensive line stepped up in

1091
00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:21,520
Speaker 1: all those scenarios. Uh, and then they stopped a past

1092
00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:24,600
Speaker 1: that I believe Russell Wilson audibled into with another one.

1093
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:26,680
Speaker 1: So that was three other times that they were stopped

1094
00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:29,279
Speaker 1: on fourth down. And it kind of like a resourceful

1095
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:31,239
Speaker 1: win that you would like to see if out of

1096
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:33,920
Speaker 1: a good organization on the road when you really need it.

1097
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:36,520
Speaker 1: That's a I was gonna say. You know, Greg made

1098
00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:39,160
Speaker 1: the point Thursday. This is the kind of challenge that

1099
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:42,000
Speaker 1: Sean Payton really loves and he digs his teeth into

1100
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:44,959
Speaker 1: and that's great. They won the game because they played

1101
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:47,600
Speaker 1: as a team, and special teams really matter. But to me,

1102
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:50,600
Speaker 1: I'm looking back to the end of last year and

1103
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:54,680
Speaker 1: still their offense doesn't work unless Alvin Kamara is taking

1104
00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:57,120
Speaker 1: over the game and being the best player on the field.

1105
00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:00,280
Speaker 1: Do you feel Greg any better about their all fency

1106
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:03,040
Speaker 1: after today? No? I mean, they didn't have a play

1107
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:07,480
Speaker 1: over twenty yards at Teddy Bridgewater who went seventy seven

1108
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:10,160
Speaker 1: and two. Didn't. I don't know if he threw a

1109
00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:14,840
Speaker 1: pass over ten yards, I don't remember it. Like I mean,

1110
00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:17,320
Speaker 1: there there were some catching runs. He didn't really need to.

1111
00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:20,840
Speaker 1: They had five offensive penalties in the first half that

1112
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:23,839
Speaker 1: were not on him, so it certainly wasn't on him

1113
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:27,319
Speaker 1: that that they struggled throughout that first half, but there

1114
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:29,040
Speaker 1: was he looked like the same guy that we've seen

1115
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:31,160
Speaker 1: the last couple of games. It's still early and that

1116
00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:33,600
Speaker 1: was only that was really his first real start, and

1117
00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:36,120
Speaker 1: there was almost no Tasom Hill. There was less Tasom

1118
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:40,080
Speaker 1: Hill than usual. I wondered about that Payton probably thumbing

1119
00:56:40,120 --> 00:56:42,799
Speaker 1: his nose a people, but like, they gotta keep him healthy.

1120
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:45,640
Speaker 1: That was the first Bridgewater starting. He's gonna have several

1121
00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:49,680
Speaker 1: more because Drew Brees just had surgery. Of course, Um,

1122
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:52,000
Speaker 1: but I wonder if we're starting to get an idea

1123
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:55,040
Speaker 1: of the Teddy Bridgewater experience where his ceiling is that

1124
00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:57,640
Speaker 1: he's not going to be a dynamic guy. He's a

1125
00:56:57,719 --> 00:57:00,800
Speaker 1: hold of fourth guy all the way, Uh, because it

1126
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:03,480
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like he's a dynamic type player. Well, he's

1127
00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:05,920
Speaker 1: only got to start let's say six games. He just

1128
00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:08,520
Speaker 1: won one on the road in Seattle. If he can

1129
00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:10,880
Speaker 1: win three, if they can win three of those games,

1130
00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:15,399
Speaker 1: he's gone and and and it's his teammates that really

1131
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:18,160
Speaker 1: stepped up from his defense, making huge plaz in comary.

1132
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:19,480
Speaker 1: I want to go watch it. But I thought the

1133
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:21,919
Speaker 1: concern last week was that when Bridgewater was on the field,

1134
00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:24,800
Speaker 1: Camara dried up entirely. The whole offense lost any sort

1135
00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:28,680
Speaker 1: of dynamic traits. And not the case today, although as

1136
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:31,120
Speaker 1: much as much. I mean, the crazy thing is, they

1137
00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:33,600
Speaker 1: had I think one of the bottom five yardage games

1138
00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:38,320
Speaker 1: in Sean Payton's career last week, and they had less yardage.

1139
00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 1: It was a different It was a crazy It was

1140
00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:46,840
Speaker 1: a crazy Maybe what I just said sounds completely around Dallas.

1141
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:49,720
Speaker 1: I don't count them out of any game. I just

1142
00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:52,520
Speaker 1: think that they'll find ways to be competitive. And I

1143
00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:55,160
Speaker 1: think a lot of people myself included, who said, oh,

1144
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:56,600
Speaker 1: they're you know, they're going to be kind of just

1145
00:57:56,760 --> 00:57:59,640
Speaker 1: another team until Breeze comes back and the South is

1146
00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:02,840
Speaker 1: wide open. This was a nice little show on Peyton game.

1147
00:58:03,080 --> 00:58:06,040
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm still you got the Bucks shooting

1148
00:58:06,080 --> 00:58:09,480
Speaker 1: themselves in Matt Gay's foot, extremely rare to Pete Carroll

1149
00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:13,080
Speaker 1: never lost a September home game fifteen and oh until today,

1150
00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:17,440
Speaker 1: wouldn't be Matt Gay shooting the Bucks. I mean, someone's

1151
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:20,640
Speaker 1: foot was damaged this was also almost the first to

1152
00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:23,920
Speaker 1: score loss in the Russell Wilson era at home, but

1153
00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:27,120
Speaker 1: he just did you. He stuck it out by touchdown

1154
00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:30,360
Speaker 1: as the Bengals almost speed Seattle. I'm expired. Go Hawks.

1155
00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:32,720
Speaker 1: Seattle had been fifteen and o at home in September

1156
00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:35,960
Speaker 1: since two thousand ten. Did you say that? Well? I

1157
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:37,600
Speaker 1: wanted to repeat, it's a fun little it's a good

1158
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:42,000
Speaker 1: nug six departments and credit that. That's move. Dan did

1159
00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:44,480
Speaker 1: that himself. He came up with that study. I've been

1160
00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:47,280
Speaker 1: tracking every one of their September home games since I've

1161
00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:50,520
Speaker 1: started this company. Yes, into the game, they take a

1162
00:58:50,600 --> 00:58:56,040
Speaker 1: screen to him. Was wide. Over the end, Seattle had

1163
00:58:56,080 --> 00:59:05,760
Speaker 1: been septillion sold, nothing to go on the first corner.

1164
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:09,680
Speaker 1: Matt Taylor, Colts Radio Network with a call. Jacoby Brisset

1165
00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:13,320
Speaker 1: completed his first sixteen passes through for two touchdowns in

1166
00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:17,560
Speaker 1: the first half, including that connection to Zachary Pascal, leading

1167
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:22,480
Speaker 1: the Colts to win over the Falcons at l Os

1168
00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:28,000
Speaker 1: Lucas Oil stated Jake Briskett led four straight scoring drives,

1169
00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:29,880
Speaker 1: didn't have a turnover, closed out the game with a

1170
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:33,240
Speaker 1: big completion to Jack Doyle. It's good to have some

1171
00:59:33,400 --> 00:59:36,240
Speaker 1: quarterback depth. Greg Rose Involve. That's right. It's good to

1172
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:39,520
Speaker 1: have a coach that doesn't coach scared Andy Reid and

1173
00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 1: his former disciple or not, Frank Reich. I guess it's

1174
00:59:43,240 --> 00:59:45,920
Speaker 1: sort of there in the same coaching tree. Both called

1175
00:59:46,040 --> 00:59:49,240
Speaker 1: third down passes where they could have called runs with

1176
00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:52,480
Speaker 1: under two minutes left in the fourth quarters of their games,

1177
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:54,360
Speaker 1: which would have given the call ball back to the

1178
00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:56,160
Speaker 1: other team and forced them to, you know, go the

1179
00:59:56,240 --> 00:59:57,800
Speaker 1: whole length of the field. But you know what they did.

1180
00:59:57,960 --> 01:00:00,600
Speaker 1: They called passes. They trusted in the play call, and

1181
01:00:00,920 --> 01:00:04,360
Speaker 1: Jack Doyle got the big first down t Y Hilton

1182
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:07,000
Speaker 1: left at halftime. I mean Jacobe Brossetta got the ball

1183
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:09,960
Speaker 1: at the end of the third quarter beginning of the fourth.

1184
01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:13,160
Speaker 1: He needed to score both times, keep the ball both

1185
01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:14,919
Speaker 1: times he had the ball because the Colts defense wasn't

1186
01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:17,920
Speaker 1: stopping anyone. The Falcon score touchdowns on every second half possession.

1187
01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:20,040
Speaker 1: And you know what Jake Briskett does in the fourth quarter.

1188
01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:24,040
Speaker 1: He scores touchdowns and he delivers clutch drives every week.

1189
01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:28,600
Speaker 1: He's a pretty good quarterback. It's not a star, he's

1190
01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:30,720
Speaker 1: not really even the key to this team. But he's

1191
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:32,320
Speaker 1: He's part of what I think is kind of a

1192
01:00:32,360 --> 01:00:34,280
Speaker 1: team that's coalescing pretty well. Do you know what it is?

1193
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:37,000
Speaker 1: He's better than to hold the fourth guy. Yes, he's

1194
01:00:37,520 --> 01:00:40,000
Speaker 1: like right around the Dalton line right or even maybe

1195
01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:41,960
Speaker 1: on the right side of it. I think his contract,

1196
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:44,200
Speaker 1: that extension they gave him, tells you he's better than

1197
01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:45,920
Speaker 1: to hold the fourth guy. Hold the fourth guys get

1198
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:48,120
Speaker 1: like five to seven million a year. He got fifteen.

1199
01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:51,000
Speaker 1: I mean when he when we last got our sample

1200
01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:53,080
Speaker 1: size with him and with the Colts, it was when

1201
01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:55,520
Speaker 1: their offensive line was not what it is now. And

1202
01:00:55,640 --> 01:00:58,640
Speaker 1: it's in a better environment than he was before. But

1203
01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:00,720
Speaker 1: for some reason, the Colts kind of remind me of

1204
01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:02,919
Speaker 1: the Eagles a little bit, where you know they're gonna

1205
01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:05,240
Speaker 1: get banged up and lose players, but the ship doesn't

1206
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:08,520
Speaker 1: entirely sink because they're well coached. Their front office is

1207
01:01:08,560 --> 01:01:11,479
Speaker 1: extremely sound, and they've added depth this team, This Colts

1208
01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:14,040
Speaker 1: team had no depth under the previous front office. They

1209
01:01:14,120 --> 01:01:16,520
Speaker 1: have it all over the place. Now they've got infrastructure.

1210
01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:19,640
Speaker 1: When these two teams play, though, I mean, it's one sided.

1211
01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:22,280
Speaker 1: There's no more. There's no rivalry in the history of

1212
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:25,520
Speaker 1: the NFL More one sided than Colts Falcons. I mean,

1213
01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:28,040
Speaker 1: Falcons fans don't even show up, don't even watch the

1214
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:30,040
Speaker 1: game when you play the Colts. People have been talking

1215
01:01:30,040 --> 01:01:35,200
Speaker 1: about the Colts Falcons rivalry for decades. Fifteen wins, two losses.

1216
01:01:35,520 --> 01:01:37,960
Speaker 1: It doesn't get more one side. And then that Atlanta

1217
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:41,720
Speaker 1: fix what you're doing. That's that's like once every four years.

1218
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:46,240
Speaker 1: So that's you know that Ryan thirty four three or

1219
01:01:46,360 --> 01:01:50,040
Speaker 1: four three touchdowns, one interception, passer rating of one. That

1220
01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:53,160
Speaker 1: all looks great, but I mean, I just feel like

1221
01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:55,640
Speaker 1: it's the same thing now. It was a strange game.

1222
01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:59,760
Speaker 1: Falcons only got six possessions. I'm gonna ask our department

1223
01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:02,920
Speaker 1: if that's a record. There was one one play kneel

1224
01:02:02,960 --> 01:02:04,600
Speaker 1: down at the end of the first half. They would

1225
01:02:04,640 --> 01:02:06,800
Speaker 1: if you're not counting that. They only had six possessions

1226
01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:10,040
Speaker 1: and he threw a red zone interdeption in one of them.

1227
01:02:10,280 --> 01:02:13,120
Speaker 1: Other than that, they played pretty great on offense. I mean,

1228
01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:17,400
Speaker 1: they touchdown Davante Freeman, rand Well. I can't really fault

1229
01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:20,320
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan here. They lost Kan O'Neil their strong safety

1230
01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:23,320
Speaker 1: for the second straight year. Achilles tear looks like he's

1231
01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:25,160
Speaker 1: out for the year, not don't like the energy around

1232
01:02:25,160 --> 01:02:29,240
Speaker 1: this Falcons operation right now. There is there is something

1233
01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:32,320
Speaker 1: going on here right I'm with you, dark spiritual force,

1234
01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:34,800
Speaker 1: and I think it's on. That's where dan Quinn's defense

1235
01:02:34,920 --> 01:02:36,440
Speaker 1: needs to make a stop at the end of the game.

1236
01:02:36,480 --> 01:02:39,320
Speaker 1: His offense is putting up touchdown after touchdown and they're

1237
01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:43,080
Speaker 1: giving up drives to Zach Pascal and Marlon Mack and

1238
01:02:43,360 --> 01:02:45,680
Speaker 1: mo Alei Cox. Those are the three guys. All right,

1239
01:02:45,760 --> 01:02:48,600
Speaker 1: let's check in Mark. The Browns just fell behind. So far,

1240
01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:53,120
Speaker 1: you've been a total pro throughout the broadcast. Does it

1241
01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:56,640
Speaker 1: change now? No, I'll continue to operate as an absolute

1242
01:02:56,680 --> 01:03:00,000
Speaker 1: pro and show em all okay. But the studio that's

1243
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:03,160
Speaker 1: now up to degrees, that's much higher on my list.

1244
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:08,720
Speaker 1: I'll ask the question though. The listeners are are wondering,

1245
01:03:08,920 --> 01:03:12,120
Speaker 1: did you go to Hustlers alone or that did Simone

1246
01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:15,000
Speaker 1: come or no? This was on our our Friday is

1247
01:03:15,040 --> 01:03:18,080
Speaker 1: typically our day to do what we do, and I

1248
01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:19,840
Speaker 1: went to see it on my own because I didn't

1249
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:21,360
Speaker 1: think that was a movie that Simone was going to

1250
01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:27,120
Speaker 1: be opening opening day, Hustlers opening day. I like going

1251
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:29,720
Speaker 1: to the movies earlier. I don't like hearing other people

1252
01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:32,080
Speaker 1: eat in the movie theater, So I'll typically go to

1253
01:03:32,200 --> 01:03:34,680
Speaker 1: like a eleven AM show and sit way up front,

1254
01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:36,960
Speaker 1: not near any other human because when I can hear

1255
01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:40,400
Speaker 1: someone eating popcorn during a movie, I cannot concentrate at all.

1256
01:03:40,440 --> 01:03:43,840
Speaker 1: It throws me completely out of my element. Interesting, Let's

1257
01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:49,840
Speaker 1: move on left. Adam is slot left, dig soul alone

1258
01:03:49,880 --> 01:03:52,520
Speaker 1: to the right. On first down play action Cousins boot

1259
01:03:52,560 --> 01:03:55,600
Speaker 1: like drop to the left, plants to foot deep right. Man,

1260
01:03:55,720 --> 01:04:08,200
Speaker 1: they're harddown Cousins. Adam feeling headed? Six zero Minnesota. Paul Allen, Oh,

1261
01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:12,800
Speaker 1: he's one of the zero truthers. John Matt money Smith,

1262
01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:15,160
Speaker 1: who I do the power ranking show on NFL dot com.

1263
01:04:15,640 --> 01:04:20,000
Speaker 1: He always says zero. He never says six nothing. It's

1264
01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:23,280
Speaker 1: always zero, and it stops me in my tracks every time.

1265
01:04:25,920 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 1: Gooseg so Kirk Cousins bounced back from his wolful performance

1266
01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:34,560
Speaker 1: last week in Green Bay, playing turnover free football through

1267
01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:37,760
Speaker 1: that touchdown past Adam Theineland him is only touchdown pass

1268
01:04:37,840 --> 01:04:41,640
Speaker 1: of the day, an easy win over the Raiders. Dalvin

1269
01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:43,680
Speaker 1: Cook over a hundred yards for the third straight week.

1270
01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:48,000
Speaker 1: The Vikings two and one now West home game against

1271
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:50,400
Speaker 1: the Silver and Black. Just what the doctor ordered. Yeah,

1272
01:04:50,440 --> 01:04:53,040
Speaker 1: we sort of referred to this on Thursday as the

1273
01:04:53,120 --> 01:04:57,600
Speaker 1: recipe for Kirk Cousins success home game. Check nailed it.

1274
01:04:58,280 --> 01:05:02,680
Speaker 1: Inferior opponent, check nailed it. Not a nationally televised game

1275
01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:07,160
Speaker 1: three for three Vikings. This had a lot of it.

1276
01:05:07,240 --> 01:05:09,600
Speaker 1: Seemed like the same DNA from the season opener against

1277
01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:12,520
Speaker 1: the Falcons, where the Vikings jump out to an early lead,

1278
01:05:12,920 --> 01:05:15,320
Speaker 1: run the ball down their opponent's throat, and don't rely

1279
01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:18,760
Speaker 1: too much on kirk Cousins. Dalvin Cook once again the

1280
01:05:18,880 --> 01:05:21,640
Speaker 1: focal point of this team, and if there was an

1281
01:05:21,640 --> 01:05:24,560
Speaker 1: all Pro list for September, he would be the running

1282
01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:29,080
Speaker 1: back on it. You could do that. You're happy to

1283
01:05:29,120 --> 01:05:30,680
Speaker 1: talk about it on the pod. You'll do at it

1284
01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:34,520
Speaker 1: halftime halftime through eight weeks. It's amazing you've been assigned

1285
01:05:34,560 --> 01:05:37,760
Speaker 1: to it. I'm sorry. Monday, nine am. When they give

1286
01:05:37,760 --> 01:05:40,400
Speaker 1: Alexander Madison the ball, they look pretty good running the

1287
01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:42,600
Speaker 1: ball too. They're just a big, good running They're a

1288
01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:44,480
Speaker 1: great running team when you can bring him in as

1289
01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:46,160
Speaker 1: a bat. They're very close to three and oh if

1290
01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:48,440
Speaker 1: they get three and zero, excuse me, if they could

1291
01:05:48,520 --> 01:05:51,840
Speaker 1: execute against Green Bay better. Um, I think the vikings

1292
01:05:51,920 --> 01:05:53,280
Speaker 1: are okay, but I don't know if it'd be zero

1293
01:05:53,360 --> 01:05:58,760
Speaker 1: in the context record it makes sense whole thing, But Wes,

1294
01:05:58,880 --> 01:06:01,440
Speaker 1: you so nailed it with the Kirk Cousins thing. If

1295
01:06:01,520 --> 01:06:04,400
Speaker 1: those things line up, he will never lose a game.

1296
01:06:04,440 --> 01:06:06,240
Speaker 1: He never has lost the game, and he never will.

1297
01:06:06,760 --> 01:06:10,120
Speaker 1: The problem is the way sports and the NFL are

1298
01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:12,800
Speaker 1: set up is that the deeper you going to the season,

1299
01:06:13,320 --> 01:06:16,919
Speaker 1: you lose those elements. He's sort of like slightly better

1300
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:20,360
Speaker 1: than Andy Dalton, right. I think that's where he's always been.

1301
01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:23,000
Speaker 1: And you've made a good point the other day where

1302
01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:26,000
Speaker 1: there's the people who are anti Cousins and you and

1303
01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:29,760
Speaker 1: West sorry that uh you know, people crow when he

1304
01:06:29,840 --> 01:06:32,920
Speaker 1: has a bad game, and then the defenders start crowing

1305
01:06:32,960 --> 01:06:34,720
Speaker 1: when he has a good game. I think he has

1306
01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:38,000
Speaker 1: been in that same area the whole time. About quarterback

1307
01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:41,280
Speaker 1: eleven through thirteen depends what the other what other quarterbacks

1308
01:06:41,320 --> 01:06:43,680
Speaker 1: are around now, there's more good young players that asked him.

1309
01:06:43,840 --> 01:06:45,560
Speaker 1: That's just who he is. That's where you're right. But

1310
01:06:45,640 --> 01:06:48,000
Speaker 1: I I heard, you know, in all the write ups

1311
01:06:48,040 --> 01:06:51,120
Speaker 1: and stuff that this was a good Kirk Cousins performance,

1312
01:06:51,440 --> 01:06:53,720
Speaker 1: you know, and reason for encouragement and he through for

1313
01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:56,440
Speaker 1: a hundred and seventy four yards. Dan, you wanted well,

1314
01:06:56,760 --> 01:06:58,600
Speaker 1: and that's this is a Mike Zimmer fever dream where

1315
01:06:58,640 --> 01:07:01,000
Speaker 1: you're just gonna run the ball two times and but

1316
01:07:01,120 --> 01:07:03,520
Speaker 1: that like we're talking about situations where Cousins is going

1317
01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:06,120
Speaker 1: to be put into one of those games where all

1318
01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:09,400
Speaker 1: those boxes aren't checked before the kickoff happens. That the

1319
01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:11,440
Speaker 1: same thing with Mike Zimmer wanting to run the ball

1320
01:07:11,520 --> 01:07:13,760
Speaker 1: thirty times and do nothing through the air. Good luck,

1321
01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:16,160
Speaker 1: You're gonna win a couple of games that way, especially

1322
01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:18,080
Speaker 1: at home, when you play as well as you do

1323
01:07:18,160 --> 01:07:19,960
Speaker 1: in that situation. But that's not how you get through

1324
01:07:20,320 --> 01:07:23,720
Speaker 1: a season in I'd i'd be concerned. I want to

1325
01:07:23,760 --> 01:07:27,160
Speaker 1: give our listener Mighty Gazelle credit for phrasing the Kirk

1326
01:07:27,240 --> 01:07:32,440
Speaker 1: Cousins recap from Thursday, So well well done, And one

1327
01:07:32,560 --> 01:07:37,360
Speaker 1: question about the do you see any scenario where, like

1328
01:07:37,560 --> 01:07:40,040
Speaker 1: the guy nice person, where Derek Carr is the quarterback

1329
01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:43,680
Speaker 1: for this Raiders team next September? This experience feels like

1330
01:07:43,920 --> 01:07:47,400
Speaker 1: it's going south an buy a house right next door

1331
01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:51,880
Speaker 1: to I do know, I don't. I'm disappointed that the

1332
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:55,080
Speaker 1: Raiders couldn't be competitive and that their defense, just because

1333
01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:57,600
Speaker 1: that means if we're watching a season worth of them

1334
01:07:57,720 --> 01:08:00,840
Speaker 1: not being competitive, that's just making my our Sunday's worst.

1335
01:08:01,080 --> 01:08:04,200
Speaker 1: Fontes Burfett got injured today after he tried to punch

1336
01:08:04,240 --> 01:08:06,360
Speaker 1: somebody after the play. I don't think the officials saw

1337
01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:09,320
Speaker 1: the attempted punch. Oh, but the league will. Yeah, he

1338
01:08:09,440 --> 01:08:11,600
Speaker 1: might get a FedEx envelope, but he's he got like

1339
01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:14,920
Speaker 1: his own deposit box for FedEx right outside his front door.

1340
01:08:14,960 --> 01:08:16,920
Speaker 1: I feel like I've been told that Vontelly's perfect has

1341
01:08:16,960 --> 01:08:19,000
Speaker 1: been injured about forty seven times in the first three

1342
01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:21,040
Speaker 1: weeks of the season. They just like built a FedEx

1343
01:08:21,120 --> 01:08:23,200
Speaker 1: can goes next to his house to save the time.

1344
01:08:24,160 --> 01:08:26,439
Speaker 1: I think he just moved next door to the fine police.

1345
01:08:27,320 --> 01:08:30,240
Speaker 1: Let's move up. I backs, I'm off set to the right.

1346
01:08:31,120 --> 01:08:33,400
Speaker 1: Tight line splits Holson in the backfield the block from

1347
01:08:33,439 --> 01:08:35,920
Speaker 1: McCaffrey right up the middle, running free to the thirty five.

1348
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:40,320
Speaker 1: The fourties got potential. McCaffrey thirty twenty. He will store

1349
01:08:40,479 --> 01:08:45,479
Speaker 1: ten five a lightning boat. Christian McCaffrey Mick Mix and

1350
01:08:45,640 --> 01:08:49,679
Speaker 1: Panthers Radio Network. Christiancaffrey ripped off a seventy six yard

1351
01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:53,800
Speaker 1: touchdown run. Kyle Allen throws four touchdowns in his first

1352
01:08:53,880 --> 01:08:56,679
Speaker 1: start in place of the injured Cam Newton Panther's cruise

1353
01:08:57,560 --> 01:09:00,439
Speaker 1: over the Cardinals in Glendale. Mark This was the best

1354
01:09:00,479 --> 01:09:03,679
Speaker 1: case scenario for Carolina, who just wanted to survive without

1355
01:09:03,720 --> 01:09:06,920
Speaker 1: their injured former m v P. Instead, they thrived with Alan.

1356
01:09:07,600 --> 01:09:10,559
Speaker 1: What an encouraging performance on a day where we got

1357
01:09:10,600 --> 01:09:13,840
Speaker 1: a couple of quarterbacks in their first starts changing the

1358
01:09:13,880 --> 01:09:16,599
Speaker 1: way we feel about certain teams. I loved that Kyle

1359
01:09:16,680 --> 01:09:19,360
Speaker 1: Allen came out. He was aggressive from the start. He

1360
01:09:19,479 --> 01:09:21,800
Speaker 1: seen you know, like you could tell right away that

1361
01:09:21,840 --> 01:09:23,880
Speaker 1: he was just feeling good. He was in the zone.

1362
01:09:24,120 --> 01:09:26,680
Speaker 1: He was kind of laughing on the sideline, didn't have, uh,

1363
01:09:26,800 --> 01:09:29,360
Speaker 1: that sort of nervous energy that you might expect from someone.

1364
01:09:29,560 --> 01:09:31,680
Speaker 1: And I know he played well in Weeks seventeen last year,

1365
01:09:31,720 --> 01:09:34,680
Speaker 1: but that I just wanted to see here, you know,

1366
01:09:34,920 --> 01:09:36,640
Speaker 1: on the road, how does he come out and do it?

1367
01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:40,160
Speaker 1: And they they had more life and energy to their

1368
01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:41,840
Speaker 1: passing game than they have all year. And he was

1369
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:44,479
Speaker 1: hitting throws that Cam Newton was not hitting in the

1370
01:09:44,520 --> 01:09:46,840
Speaker 1: past couple of weeks. And that it's funny that they

1371
01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:50,040
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey. That was one of those. It was a

1372
01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:52,400
Speaker 1: touchdown that was not because of Kyle Allen, but he

1373
01:09:52,560 --> 01:09:54,720
Speaker 1: made a two or three throws in this game that

1374
01:09:54,800 --> 01:09:58,200
Speaker 1: were total Money's tosses, and I enjoyed watching them. And

1375
01:09:58,360 --> 01:10:01,599
Speaker 1: I don't think you can count them out because he's

1376
01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:03,720
Speaker 1: a quarterback on any level at this point. I mean,

1377
01:10:03,760 --> 01:10:04,920
Speaker 1: you gotta go out and do it a couple of

1378
01:10:04,920 --> 01:10:07,599
Speaker 1: weeks in a row. But there was something nothing about

1379
01:10:07,640 --> 01:10:10,720
Speaker 1: his game that seemed like crippling limited to me at all.

1380
01:10:10,760 --> 01:10:12,360
Speaker 1: It was the opposite. It sounds like it was so

1381
01:10:12,439 --> 01:10:15,880
Speaker 1: impressive that not only will you not rush Cam Newton back,

1382
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:18,559
Speaker 1: but you will make sure he's when he comes back.

1383
01:10:18,760 --> 01:10:20,160
Speaker 1: I think because you know what, we don't know what

1384
01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:23,439
Speaker 1: this team is. There's no reason in general to rush

1385
01:10:23,560 --> 01:10:26,080
Speaker 1: Cam Newton back after all the stuff he's been through

1386
01:10:26,120 --> 01:10:27,680
Speaker 1: the last couple of years. I just would wait to

1387
01:10:27,760 --> 01:10:30,280
Speaker 1: perfect scenario. The way today played out. They have that

1388
01:10:31,040 --> 01:10:33,720
Speaker 1: um ability now to be patient. They were. This was

1389
01:10:33,800 --> 01:10:36,720
Speaker 1: classic corner cornered animal action right here. Yes, it was

1390
01:10:36,840 --> 01:10:39,839
Speaker 1: they saved their season that in oh and three Panthers

1391
01:10:39,880 --> 01:10:41,960
Speaker 1: team would have a lot of whispers about where the

1392
01:10:42,040 --> 01:10:44,200
Speaker 1: coach is going to be the next year, whether Cam

1393
01:10:44,240 --> 01:10:46,040
Speaker 1: Newton's eve gonna be on this team next year, all

1394
01:10:46,080 --> 01:10:48,519
Speaker 1: that stuff, and you've you've put all that off for

1395
01:10:48,680 --> 01:10:52,400
Speaker 1: another week or two. I'm a little confused, Dan, there's

1396
01:10:52,439 --> 01:10:55,920
Speaker 1: a caged animal in a cornered dog? Are those two

1397
01:10:56,000 --> 01:11:00,400
Speaker 1: different kinds of games? You can put whatever animal you want. Um,

1398
01:11:01,400 --> 01:11:03,080
Speaker 1: I love dogs. I don't even like the image of

1399
01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:07,280
Speaker 1: imagine the dog corners. But cornered animal or caged animal works.

1400
01:11:08,479 --> 01:11:10,439
Speaker 1: This is a step back to it sounds like for

1401
01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:13,600
Speaker 1: for Kyler Murray, two forty yards of offense from the

1402
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:17,280
Speaker 1: Cardinals in seventy three plays, so they ran a ton

1403
01:11:17,360 --> 01:11:19,559
Speaker 1: of plays and didn't move the ball at all. Well,

1404
01:11:19,600 --> 01:11:22,240
Speaker 1: and and we guys should mentioned Dante Jackson who had

1405
01:11:22,280 --> 01:11:25,560
Speaker 1: two spectacular interceptions in this game. And it was some

1406
01:11:25,720 --> 01:11:28,519
Speaker 1: of the first action where I watched Kylermarly, who I

1407
01:11:28,520 --> 01:11:31,000
Speaker 1: wouldn't say was confused out on the field, but he

1408
01:11:31,080 --> 01:11:34,160
Speaker 1: threw a couple of terrible balls and Carolina turned two

1409
01:11:34,240 --> 01:11:37,559
Speaker 1: of those into those interceptions. He's not tearing the league up.

1410
01:11:37,880 --> 01:11:40,920
Speaker 1: That was kind of the although it would have been

1411
01:11:41,400 --> 01:11:44,320
Speaker 1: a surprise too because it doesn't happen often. There was

1412
01:11:44,439 --> 01:11:46,400
Speaker 1: that hype around Murray that he would come in and

1413
01:11:46,479 --> 01:11:49,160
Speaker 1: Kingsbury would come in and they'd be, you know, ripping

1414
01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:51,360
Speaker 1: people up. That's not happening right now. So now the

1415
01:11:51,439 --> 01:11:54,439
Speaker 1: Cardinals have to do be what they weren't last year,

1416
01:11:54,840 --> 01:11:57,840
Speaker 1: which is patient, they and and let this develop as

1417
01:11:57,840 --> 01:12:01,360
Speaker 1: a partnership. Because it looks like like Greg said, four

1418
01:12:01,479 --> 01:12:05,479
Speaker 1: point zero yards per tempt on forty three passes. This

1419
01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:10,320
Speaker 1: is the this is the defense from week one one.

1420
01:12:10,400 --> 01:12:13,040
Speaker 1: It's actually been a little bit better for Arizona than

1421
01:12:13,080 --> 01:12:15,439
Speaker 1: we expected. This was what we expected. All right, Let's

1422
01:12:15,479 --> 01:12:21,160
Speaker 1: move on Chargers at the Houston. Thirty four rivers, shotgun rivers,

1423
01:12:21,439 --> 01:12:26,040
Speaker 1: deep drop, firing downfield and tip almost that are safter

1424
01:12:26,120 --> 01:12:29,160
Speaker 1: it's in took play and the Texans are gonna win today.

1425
01:12:29,240 --> 01:12:34,040
Speaker 1: We'll beat the Chargers today. Mark Vandermere of the Texas

1426
01:12:34,200 --> 01:12:37,760
Speaker 1: Radio Network, who I love to get get to get

1427
01:12:37,800 --> 01:12:39,240
Speaker 1: to get back and get to get back in the

1428
01:12:40,040 --> 01:12:43,720
Speaker 1: Texas stop the Chargers in their last gasp attempt to

1429
01:12:43,800 --> 01:12:47,080
Speaker 1: tie the game. Deshaun Watson threw for three fifty one

1430
01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:51,200
Speaker 1: through three touchdown passes and J J. Watt the area

1431
01:12:51,360 --> 01:12:54,400
Speaker 1: is heating up two of the five sacks for the

1432
01:12:54,479 --> 01:12:57,719
Speaker 1: Texans and a seven to twenty win over the Chargers.

1433
01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:04,559
Speaker 1: Who watched this game, I did Greg Rose withal Deshaun

1434
01:13:04,600 --> 01:13:10,040
Speaker 1: Watson every game does athletic things, and once again he

1435
01:13:10,360 --> 01:13:14,720
Speaker 1: was on fire. It's the doo of Deshaun. You all right,

1436
01:13:14,800 --> 01:13:19,640
Speaker 1: let's let's let this breathe. Yeah, you have to be

1437
01:13:19,840 --> 01:13:24,799
Speaker 1: comfortable in the chaos. You are going to invite pass rushers,

1438
01:13:24,840 --> 01:13:28,000
Speaker 1: You're gonna invite hits. That's just his style. And all

1439
01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:31,920
Speaker 1: the things you like about Deshaun Watson are because of that,

1440
01:13:32,160 --> 01:13:35,240
Speaker 1: and and being this game especially, he held onto the

1441
01:13:35,320 --> 01:13:38,760
Speaker 1: ball pretty long because his offensive line played better, and

1442
01:13:39,040 --> 01:13:41,840
Speaker 1: that the game winning touchdown and the comeback. We're from

1443
01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:44,640
Speaker 1: those second level plays where he just does something. He

1444
01:13:44,920 --> 01:13:47,280
Speaker 1: He can be comfortable with that, and I think the

1445
01:13:47,400 --> 01:13:49,519
Speaker 1: fans have to be comfortable with that too, with him

1446
01:13:49,600 --> 01:13:52,400
Speaker 1: getting hit more and taking sex, because that's where he

1447
01:13:52,479 --> 01:13:56,760
Speaker 1: makes his magic by it. I'm on Dan's side of

1448
01:13:56,800 --> 01:13:59,800
Speaker 1: the Texans ledger. Deshaun Watson has won me over. He's

1449
01:14:00,120 --> 01:14:03,719
Speaker 1: so exciting. These two teams I have a hard time

1450
01:14:04,560 --> 01:14:07,759
Speaker 1: getting a feel for right now. Both of these teams

1451
01:14:08,600 --> 01:14:10,840
Speaker 1: have played to the buzzer basically in all three of

1452
01:14:10,880 --> 01:14:12,400
Speaker 1: their games, So they could each be three and oh,

1453
01:14:12,479 --> 01:14:14,360
Speaker 1: they could each be oh and three. But I think

1454
01:14:14,360 --> 01:14:16,599
Speaker 1: there are some things about the Texans that we can say.

1455
01:14:16,800 --> 01:14:20,120
Speaker 1: Whitney merciless, another big game. DJ Reader has made the leap.

1456
01:14:20,160 --> 01:14:22,479
Speaker 1: He was a big difference maker today. And the offensive

1457
01:14:22,520 --> 01:14:24,000
Speaker 1: line I think has a chance to get better. It

1458
01:14:24,080 --> 01:14:26,280
Speaker 1: certainly was better today and I think that's that's a

1459
01:14:26,320 --> 01:14:29,559
Speaker 1: big How about Tunsil is he? How did he look

1460
01:14:29,560 --> 01:14:32,800
Speaker 1: to Bosa and Melvin Ingram, who have been relatively quiet

1461
01:14:32,880 --> 01:14:36,040
Speaker 1: this year? We're relatively quiet once again. Wes you joining

1462
01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:40,040
Speaker 1: the Texans bandwagon? Well, I'm not there yet. I'm just

1463
01:14:40,840 --> 01:14:43,479
Speaker 1: here to enjoy. I mean, I love Deshaun Watson. I'm

1464
01:14:43,479 --> 01:14:46,160
Speaker 1: may not that I'm gonna cornering me out. I'm gonna

1465
01:14:46,560 --> 01:14:48,759
Speaker 1: your corner now. Then I loved them from the beginning.

1466
01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:51,360
Speaker 1: The Titans lost me and may have lost me forever.

1467
01:14:52,240 --> 01:14:54,320
Speaker 1: That's good. That's also positive. And you know what I'm

1468
01:14:54,320 --> 01:14:57,200
Speaker 1: gonna do as a favorite to you, Uh, you're in

1469
01:14:57,240 --> 01:15:00,360
Speaker 1: this Devin Sawa Final Destination roller coaster ride with the

1470
01:15:00,400 --> 01:15:02,600
Speaker 1: Devil Broncos. Nobody knows what that means. I'm letting you

1471
01:15:02,640 --> 01:15:06,960
Speaker 1: off the ride now. Thank you for that. That's very

1472
01:15:07,040 --> 01:15:10,000
Speaker 1: magnanimous of you. But I I can't let myself out

1473
01:15:10,040 --> 01:15:13,719
Speaker 1: of the penalty box yet. I haven't offered enough. That's awesome,

1474
01:15:13,800 --> 01:15:16,639
Speaker 1: that's you're definitely a raised Catholic. Um. By the way,

1475
01:15:16,920 --> 01:15:19,799
Speaker 1: there's definitely forty seven people who get that Devin Sawa reference.

1476
01:15:19,800 --> 01:15:25,640
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean people do underrated movie. Um. All right,

1477
01:15:25,960 --> 01:15:29,240
Speaker 1: let's uh, let's head to Sunday Night Football. Four down

1478
01:15:29,320 --> 01:15:31,960
Speaker 1: and gold from the five. This is week pre may

1479
01:15:32,080 --> 01:15:34,400
Speaker 1: feel flus from the pocket, rolling like pro to the

1480
01:15:34,520 --> 01:15:41,360
Speaker 1: end zone. It is intercept the ramps taken away on

1481
01:15:41,520 --> 01:15:45,519
Speaker 1: the final snap for the Browns offense. It's John Johnson

1482
01:15:45,920 --> 01:15:49,360
Speaker 1: with a diving picking the end zone and the Rams

1483
01:15:49,400 --> 01:15:55,920
Speaker 1: are gonna come hold at three and oh. Westchester's finest

1484
01:15:56,040 --> 01:15:59,479
Speaker 1: J B. Long of the Rams radio network with the call.

1485
01:16:00,439 --> 01:16:03,080
Speaker 1: John Johnson the third with the interception in the end

1486
01:16:03,160 --> 01:16:06,519
Speaker 1: zone on fourth and goal. The Browns go four and

1487
01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:10,200
Speaker 1: out with four shots to potentially tie the game, and

1488
01:16:10,320 --> 01:16:16,400
Speaker 1: that was it. The Los Angeles ramsen victors in Cleveland

1489
01:16:16,439 --> 01:16:19,200
Speaker 1: and Sunday Night Football. They improved a three and oh.

1490
01:16:19,640 --> 01:16:23,599
Speaker 1: The Brownies fault to one and two. Mark Sessler should

1491
01:16:23,640 --> 01:16:26,280
Speaker 1: start with you on this one. Um, We're gonna get

1492
01:16:26,320 --> 01:16:28,920
Speaker 1: to the Rams in a moment. But you had trepidation

1493
01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:31,600
Speaker 1: around this game all week. You've had trepidation around the

1494
01:16:31,680 --> 01:16:35,439
Speaker 1: Browns since their Week one clunker against Tennessee. I imagine

1495
01:16:35,479 --> 01:16:39,120
Speaker 1: you don't feel any better right now, Writer's block. That's

1496
01:16:39,120 --> 01:16:41,280
Speaker 1: sort of how this team feels to me right now,

1497
01:16:41,360 --> 01:16:44,200
Speaker 1: when you're trying to produce something and you can't get

1498
01:16:44,280 --> 01:16:45,840
Speaker 1: in that flow and you can't get out of your

1499
01:16:45,880 --> 01:16:49,000
Speaker 1: own way, um or a relationship stuck in neutral where

1500
01:16:49,040 --> 01:16:54,040
Speaker 1: they're just there's something about this team, uh, offensively, especially

1501
01:16:54,080 --> 01:16:56,280
Speaker 1: because I thought they played a lights out game on

1502
01:16:56,400 --> 01:16:59,840
Speaker 1: defense considering how banged up their secondary is. This is

1503
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:02,760
Speaker 1: in the whole season and I and I'm concerned, like

1504
01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:06,639
Speaker 1: at the core about a line that has not protected

1505
01:17:06,680 --> 01:17:09,160
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield well. But even when they are, it feels

1506
01:17:09,160 --> 01:17:12,519
Speaker 1: like Baker Mayfield has almost been zapped by the early

1507
01:17:12,720 --> 01:17:16,920
Speaker 1: season experience a playing behind this line, and and it's

1508
01:17:17,040 --> 01:17:20,519
Speaker 1: it's hard to watch because last year a team playing

1509
01:17:20,560 --> 01:17:23,960
Speaker 1: with house money down the stretch felt so loose on

1510
01:17:24,120 --> 01:17:26,120
Speaker 1: offense that you felt like they could do anything. I

1511
01:17:26,280 --> 01:17:28,280
Speaker 1: wanted them to go play the best teams they could

1512
01:17:28,360 --> 01:17:31,360
Speaker 1: and challenge those teams with what they had with Freddie

1513
01:17:31,400 --> 01:17:35,160
Speaker 1: Kitchens and Baker Mayfield and even pri O'Dell Beckham just

1514
01:17:35,320 --> 01:17:37,439
Speaker 1: the rest of their weapons, and they are banged up.

1515
01:17:37,479 --> 01:17:39,920
Speaker 1: But I don't really point to any of that as

1516
01:17:39,960 --> 01:17:44,040
Speaker 1: what's going on here. I think they just it's I'm

1517
01:17:44,240 --> 01:17:46,680
Speaker 1: at a loss for words to some degree, because yes,

1518
01:17:46,760 --> 01:17:48,720
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a surprise to see how they

1519
01:17:48,800 --> 01:17:51,479
Speaker 1: performed on offense tonight. It's been happening all year. I

1520
01:17:51,560 --> 01:17:54,480
Speaker 1: don't know the way out. I don't I like your analogies,

1521
01:17:54,520 --> 01:17:57,240
Speaker 1: and you might also say kind of like a kicker

1522
01:17:57,280 --> 01:18:00,400
Speaker 1: who compensating for his last two misses, where it's stilted

1523
01:18:00,600 --> 01:18:03,320
Speaker 1: and it feels like they're thinking about it. Think hesitant

1524
01:18:03,720 --> 01:18:08,439
Speaker 1: in pressure situations, and Baker Mayfield not trusting his offensive line,

1525
01:18:08,680 --> 01:18:11,200
Speaker 1: and as Greg said we were watching the game, he's

1526
01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:14,720
Speaker 1: actually scrambling into pressure, not away from pressure. I mean,

1527
01:18:14,760 --> 01:18:17,560
Speaker 1: the last play of the game was emblematic that, not

1528
01:18:17,720 --> 01:18:20,040
Speaker 1: that they did a good job project protecting him, just

1529
01:18:20,120 --> 01:18:23,120
Speaker 1: that the game ended with him rolling back to his

1530
01:18:23,360 --> 01:18:25,439
Speaker 1: right and just throwing it up. Because a lot that

1531
01:18:25,520 --> 01:18:28,960
Speaker 1: he's counting on improvising some plays and some of the

1532
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:31,880
Speaker 1: plays that were there. You can nitpick, but it sure

1533
01:18:31,960 --> 01:18:35,519
Speaker 1: looked like Jarvis Landry was basically wide open on the

1534
01:18:35,640 --> 01:18:38,760
Speaker 1: third down slant, he goes to another he goes to

1535
01:18:38,880 --> 01:18:41,040
Speaker 1: the tight end on that play instead, And it's just

1536
01:18:41,160 --> 01:18:43,400
Speaker 1: those little decisions. At some point you have to trust

1537
01:18:43,439 --> 01:18:46,560
Speaker 1: you're right that for now, this is what this team is.

1538
01:18:46,640 --> 01:18:48,840
Speaker 1: The Rams are very similar. They've kind of looked the

1539
01:18:48,920 --> 01:18:51,920
Speaker 1: same each week, where their offensive line isn't playing as well,

1540
01:18:52,160 --> 01:18:54,160
Speaker 1: but that they get it going in the second half,

1541
01:18:54,200 --> 01:18:56,880
Speaker 1: and that the defense has been playing, uh, really well.

1542
01:18:56,960 --> 01:18:58,599
Speaker 1: And that's the difference between three and o and one

1543
01:18:58,600 --> 01:19:01,960
Speaker 1: and two. The Browns offensive line continues to be an issue,

1544
01:19:02,040 --> 01:19:05,639
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald, Clay Matthews, the whole front seven was getting

1545
01:19:05,680 --> 01:19:09,320
Speaker 1: after Mayfield, who, like we said, didn't handle that well either.

1546
01:19:09,479 --> 01:19:12,400
Speaker 1: And the play calling is definitely something I'm gonna hear

1547
01:19:12,400 --> 01:19:16,280
Speaker 1: a lot about, uh in the hours and days ahead

1548
01:19:16,600 --> 01:19:19,680
Speaker 1: around the Browns. Uh. Most famously in this game, or infamously,

1549
01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:23,320
Speaker 1: i should say, was the fourth quarter, fourth and nine

1550
01:19:23,439 --> 01:19:28,479
Speaker 1: near midfield draw call that got snuffed out after about

1551
01:19:28,520 --> 01:19:31,720
Speaker 1: a five or six yard game. Uh. Everyone confused. There

1552
01:19:31,800 --> 01:19:34,240
Speaker 1: was a you know, Twitter was a buzz afterwards. Uh,

1553
01:19:34,760 --> 01:19:39,400
Speaker 1: ESPN's tracking data. That's the first fourth and nine running

1554
01:19:39,439 --> 01:19:43,080
Speaker 1: play that they've tracked in over twenty years and just

1555
01:19:43,200 --> 01:19:46,240
Speaker 1: a head scratcher. And after the game, Uh, Freddie Kitchens

1556
01:19:47,040 --> 01:19:49,280
Speaker 1: he took ownership of it, but also said it was

1557
01:19:49,360 --> 01:19:51,760
Speaker 1: the play he wanted to call, so you figure out that.

1558
01:19:52,160 --> 01:19:55,439
Speaker 1: And then again they get the big interception Cleveland of

1559
01:19:55,560 --> 01:19:58,680
Speaker 1: Jared Goff who throws high and a pick uh and

1560
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:01,920
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield this right, not looking comfortable, does get them

1561
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:05,680
Speaker 1: down inside the ten after uh, some completions that are

1562
01:20:05,720 --> 01:20:08,800
Speaker 1: also a roughing the passer call on Aaron Donald. And

1563
01:20:08,880 --> 01:20:12,639
Speaker 1: then on those four straight plays four passes, Odell Beckham

1564
01:20:12,720 --> 01:20:15,400
Speaker 1: not targeted once. He was brought here West to be

1565
01:20:15,640 --> 01:20:18,680
Speaker 1: a missing final peace guy in that offense, and he

1566
01:20:18,760 --> 01:20:20,720
Speaker 1: had that one big play against the Jets last week,

1567
01:20:20,800 --> 01:20:22,960
Speaker 1: but in general, this offense has not been able to

1568
01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:26,400
Speaker 1: take flight. I think football is so much more complicated

1569
01:20:26,479 --> 01:20:29,640
Speaker 1: than everybody's sitting at home once to admit it is,

1570
01:20:30,160 --> 01:20:32,759
Speaker 1: but sometimes when you have the best athlete on the field,

1571
01:20:33,320 --> 01:20:35,240
Speaker 1: you just have to take a chance and throw it

1572
01:20:35,360 --> 01:20:37,760
Speaker 1: up in his direction and let him make a play

1573
01:20:37,800 --> 01:20:39,840
Speaker 1: when nothing else is going right. I mean, if you

1574
01:20:39,960 --> 01:20:43,479
Speaker 1: look at that Jets game. Everyone wanted to stream the

1575
01:20:43,560 --> 01:20:46,080
Speaker 1: highlights of Odell Beckham with the eighty nine yard touchdown,

1576
01:20:46,600 --> 01:20:49,760
Speaker 1: but they were struggling to get him open and make

1577
01:20:49,880 --> 01:20:52,400
Speaker 1: him productive in that game too, despite the final score

1578
01:20:52,680 --> 01:20:55,280
Speaker 1: the final line for him. I really think the Rams

1579
01:20:55,360 --> 01:20:57,800
Speaker 1: defense is doing a lot of the carrying on this team,

1580
01:20:57,880 --> 01:21:00,360
Speaker 1: and they are much better than last year. Claim Matthews

1581
01:21:00,400 --> 01:21:03,000
Speaker 1: already has more sacks than he had last year. Dante

1582
01:21:03,120 --> 01:21:05,560
Speaker 1: Fowler has been a regular behind the line of scrimmage,

1583
01:21:06,040 --> 01:21:08,120
Speaker 1: Mark pointed out during the game. Corey Littleton has been

1584
01:21:08,120 --> 01:21:10,040
Speaker 1: one of the best linebackers in the NFL this year

1585
01:21:10,560 --> 01:21:14,160
Speaker 1: at Taylor rap as a hit as a second round picky.

1586
01:21:14,360 --> 01:21:16,320
Speaker 1: They are a better I think Marcus Peters and to

1587
01:21:16,400 --> 01:21:19,519
Speaker 1: keep to Leabre playing better and to Cleveland's credit on defense,

1588
01:21:19,600 --> 01:21:22,280
Speaker 1: they entered this game missing all four their starting defensive

1589
01:21:22,280 --> 01:21:25,400
Speaker 1: backs and they put up a real good fight. I

1590
01:21:25,479 --> 01:21:27,800
Speaker 1: mean that Rams warmed up as things went along. They

1591
01:21:27,840 --> 01:21:31,360
Speaker 1: actually ended up with two one yard receivers in Brandon

1592
01:21:31,439 --> 01:21:33,720
Speaker 1: Cooks and Cooper cup who had a huge game two

1593
01:21:33,760 --> 01:21:37,280
Speaker 1: touchdowns over a hundred yards. But uh, the Rams had

1594
01:21:37,320 --> 01:21:40,479
Speaker 1: what three points at halftime. I mean that that is

1595
01:21:40,800 --> 01:21:43,479
Speaker 1: It's a pretty incredible incredible to me if you would

1596
01:21:43,520 --> 01:21:45,760
Speaker 1: have told me that after everything we heard about the

1597
01:21:45,800 --> 01:21:48,680
Speaker 1: injury issues, that they would get the job done. Uh,

1598
01:21:48,880 --> 01:21:50,800
Speaker 1: going into the second half and the offense just not

1599
01:21:50,960 --> 01:21:52,840
Speaker 1: able to figure it out. That's to me one of

1600
01:21:52,840 --> 01:21:55,560
Speaker 1: the biggest stories of the young season right now is

1601
01:21:55,720 --> 01:21:58,639
Speaker 1: how disappointing the Browns have been on the offense. I mean,

1602
01:21:58,760 --> 01:22:01,479
Speaker 1: and it's the problem is because it's you know, the

1603
01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:03,920
Speaker 1: pressure is gonna get amped up. They are days away

1604
01:22:03,960 --> 01:22:06,400
Speaker 1: from having to go deal with the Ravens, who are

1605
01:22:06,479 --> 01:22:10,360
Speaker 1: a far superior team playing in sync right now. And

1606
01:22:11,080 --> 01:22:13,800
Speaker 1: you know, I total respect to the Rams because in

1607
01:22:13,960 --> 01:22:16,320
Speaker 1: in the early year that they've been here, they're three

1608
01:22:16,360 --> 01:22:19,120
Speaker 1: and oh and they knocked off Carolina on the road.

1609
01:22:19,160 --> 01:22:20,920
Speaker 1: That was a tough game. It's not that was not

1610
01:22:21,040 --> 01:22:23,040
Speaker 1: an easy ask. And to go and do it tonight,

1611
01:22:23,160 --> 01:22:26,880
Speaker 1: I mean, it's the Rams have to be respected entirely. Well.

1612
01:22:26,960 --> 01:22:29,559
Speaker 1: Freddie Kitchens is getting a lot of grief about being

1613
01:22:29,600 --> 01:22:32,439
Speaker 1: in and over his head, and I feel like that's

1614
01:22:32,600 --> 01:22:35,439
Speaker 1: maybe projecting what he looks like or just they have

1615
01:22:35,640 --> 01:22:40,519
Speaker 1: made some curious decisions certainly, and lack of experience. That said,

1616
01:22:40,600 --> 01:22:44,320
Speaker 1: good coaching. It's about adjusting your three games into the season.

1617
01:22:44,479 --> 01:22:47,320
Speaker 1: What's not It's obvious it's not working right now. He

1618
01:22:47,439 --> 01:22:50,479
Speaker 1: needs to figure out how to adjust whatever he came

1619
01:22:50,520 --> 01:22:52,920
Speaker 1: into the season planning to do. And it's a new

1620
01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:55,439
Speaker 1: experience for him because yeah, he was he was the

1621
01:22:55,479 --> 01:22:56,920
Speaker 1: guy calling the plays at the end of last year,

1622
01:22:56,920 --> 01:22:58,120
Speaker 1: but he wasn't the head coach at the end of

1623
01:22:58,240 --> 01:23:00,200
Speaker 1: last year. That is a big difference. And the the

1624
01:23:00,280 --> 01:23:02,120
Speaker 1: guy who's not calling the plays was one of the

1625
01:23:02,200 --> 01:23:04,320
Speaker 1: best play callers in the NFL last year, and he

1626
01:23:04,439 --> 01:23:06,800
Speaker 1: was the guy dialing up fits magic early last season.

1627
01:23:07,040 --> 01:23:11,960
Speaker 1: Todd Monken, Uh, Mark, it's not all bad. You locked

1628
01:23:12,040 --> 01:23:15,880
Speaker 1: up your Rammy's. Yeah, you're part of them. I'm sure

1629
01:23:15,960 --> 01:23:18,519
Speaker 1: the city of Cleveland can feel great about that, all right.

1630
01:23:18,560 --> 01:23:20,040
Speaker 1: I just have it like a couple of questions, Well,

1631
01:23:20,160 --> 01:23:22,559
Speaker 1: how long have you lived in Cleveland ever? In your life?

1632
01:23:22,600 --> 01:23:25,080
Speaker 1: Like total? How many times have you ever spent there?

1633
01:23:25,120 --> 01:23:27,080
Speaker 1: Even I mean I've I've been there a number of times,

1634
01:23:27,120 --> 01:23:30,839
Speaker 1: but never I never walked around saying look at me Cleveland.

1635
01:23:31,080 --> 01:23:32,720
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, how many years have you now lived

1636
01:23:32,760 --> 01:23:34,800
Speaker 1: in l a. Oh, I've been lived in l a

1637
01:23:34,840 --> 01:23:37,639
Speaker 1: for fifteen years the Ramily. I don't know. Maybe they're

1638
01:23:37,680 --> 01:23:42,080
Speaker 1: calling you home theretion applications. They locked it up for you.

1639
01:23:42,320 --> 01:23:45,439
Speaker 1: Today was your official entry into the Ramily. I mean

1640
01:23:45,520 --> 01:23:47,559
Speaker 1: I feel no passion around that at all. I mean,

1641
01:23:47,600 --> 01:23:49,960
Speaker 1: you're a big movie guy at all. Sort of makes sense,

1642
01:23:50,160 --> 01:23:53,480
Speaker 1: but that has nothing to do with the m guy hustlers,

1643
01:23:53,640 --> 01:23:56,559
Speaker 1: nothing to do with the rams. I mean, nice try,

1644
01:23:56,800 --> 01:23:59,960
Speaker 1: Hollywood's team, Nice try. All right, Mark, Well, you were

1645
01:24:00,080 --> 01:24:02,839
Speaker 1: good sport and you did not go crazy in the studio,

1646
01:24:03,160 --> 01:24:06,960
Speaker 1: and you were hyper professional and unbeh happy. The entire

1647
01:24:07,080 --> 01:24:09,120
Speaker 1: crew both in front of him behind the glass, we

1648
01:24:09,200 --> 01:24:10,960
Speaker 1: thank you for I'm not surprised that I acted like

1649
01:24:11,000 --> 01:24:15,559
Speaker 1: a pro. It's good, all right, we'll be back. We'll

1650
01:24:15,600 --> 01:24:20,599
Speaker 1: be back on Tuesday with our Monday night football recap,

1651
01:24:20,920 --> 01:24:23,479
Speaker 1: and then we start spinning and looking ahead to guess what, guys.

1652
01:24:23,720 --> 01:24:27,559
Speaker 1: Week four. The train is out the station and it's rolling.

1653
01:24:28,680 --> 01:24:30,840
Speaker 1: I can almost smell London just a couple of weeks.

1654
01:24:32,160 --> 01:24:34,400
Speaker 1: There are absolute agents and the heroes are going to

1655
01:24:34,520 --> 01:24:36,000
Speaker 1: London in a couple of weeks. You can't wait for that.

1656
01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:38,400
Speaker 1: And we'll have more information on that trip, but that

1657
01:24:38,479 --> 01:24:41,720
Speaker 1: will come down the line. All right, Ricky, let's get

1658
01:24:41,760 --> 01:24:44,880
Speaker 1: out of here. You're happy. Antonio Brown's not with you anymore.

1659
01:24:48,200 --> 01:24:52,360
Speaker 1: The Mailman, the Old Boss, Ricky Holly, Hollywood, Ryan part

1660
01:24:52,479 --> 01:25:00,080
Speaker 1: let everybody else till Tuesday. S
