WEBVTT - 2023 Week 2 Preview

0:00:00.520 --> 0:00:05.920
<v Speaker 1>They around the NFL podcast. Dan hens this and the

0:00:05.960 --> 0:00:07.280
<v Speaker 1>Falcons cass up.

0:00:07.320 --> 0:00:13.480
<v Speaker 2>Proud from the Chris Wesley podcast studio. It's around the NFL.

0:00:14.800 --> 0:00:18.800
<v Speaker 2>I am Dan Hansson. Here are the members of the

0:00:18.840 --> 0:00:23.360
<v Speaker 2>Falcons gas up. I like that Greg Rosethal and Mark Sessa.

0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:26.400
<v Speaker 3>I mean, maybe it's time to start thinking about putting

0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:29.240
<v Speaker 3>a ring on this team. They get a little more official.

0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:32.720
<v Speaker 4>Well the Falcons and rings, that's probably never gonna happen.

0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:37.040
<v Speaker 5>So the thing that I enjoy about this scenario and

0:00:37.080 --> 0:00:39.760
<v Speaker 5>what Zumwalt just announced there is that before the show

0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:42.120
<v Speaker 5>with you know, a lot of time to chat lot time,

0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:46.320
<v Speaker 5>you are genuinely, like, genuinely slightly annoyed at Greg and

0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:49.160
<v Speaker 5>I for this whole Falcons thing. I'm You've you' it's

0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:50.760
<v Speaker 5>not a bit, it's a real thing. You see him

0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:53.640
<v Speaker 5>a little. You seem a little agitated with the fact

0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:54.800
<v Speaker 5>that we're unified on this front.

0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:58.760
<v Speaker 2>In general, you guys, being unified is always a little

0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:01.160
<v Speaker 2>off putting to me, just because it doesn't feel authentic

0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:02.720
<v Speaker 2>to real life.

0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:05.240
<v Speaker 3>But I think, what is that even us mean, we

0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:07.280
<v Speaker 3>just both happen don't like the Falcons? How is that

0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:08.000
<v Speaker 3>not authentic?

0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:10.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm totally fine with you guys liking the Falcons. I

0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:14.880
<v Speaker 2>just don't want you guys to like in October, if

0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:17.600
<v Speaker 2>your precious little quarterback is still thrown for one hundred

0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:19.480
<v Speaker 2>and fourteen yards a game, don't tell me how fun

0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:21.840
<v Speaker 2>they are. Okay, Like, can we at least have an

0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:24.640
<v Speaker 2>honest dialogue about whether the Falcons are fun? And I'll

0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:25.440
<v Speaker 2>promise that to you.

0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:28.000
<v Speaker 5>Right, we're grounded in reality, though I don't think it's

0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:29.760
<v Speaker 5>not as if we were. We've gone on some lsd E

0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:32.520
<v Speaker 5>mission into the night, like we we were watching the

0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:33.800
<v Speaker 5>games and assessing them.

0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:36.039
<v Speaker 2>And I just also to make this clear, I'm not

0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:42.280
<v Speaker 2>against the Falcons, like I'm okay, if they're successfully, you're against.

0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:45.480
<v Speaker 4>Just if they're fun, let's do it. Let's make it

0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:46.399
<v Speaker 4>a round about.

0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:49.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm open to it.

0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:52.160
<v Speaker 4>You got to earn those stripes, Okay.

0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:56.040
<v Speaker 2>It's not about based on a summer of promise and

0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:58.400
<v Speaker 2>and what daddy gave to his son.

0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:01.240
<v Speaker 4>You know, all right, we'll see that part of it.

0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:04.520
<v Speaker 5>I don't think that Arthur Smith is some NEPO baby

0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:05.240
<v Speaker 5>walking around.

0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:09.040
<v Speaker 4>I didn't say it. You connected those dots. I didn't

0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:10.000
<v Speaker 4>even bring up the man.

0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:13.359
<v Speaker 5>You brought up you brought up the the FedEx thing

0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:14.959
<v Speaker 5>multiple times on the show.

0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:16.080
<v Speaker 3>And I do want to point out because we've got

0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:17.760
<v Speaker 3>a lot of new listeners we've heard from him. We

0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:22.160
<v Speaker 3>love you. Great, great start to the season, team of ATLU.

0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:24.000
<v Speaker 3>Just I'm going to read the disclaimer that we have

0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:26.440
<v Speaker 3>to read every year. The Around the NFL podcast was

0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:29.280
<v Speaker 3>once called the Around the League Podcast until one day

0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:32.160
<v Speaker 3>the shadowy league executives asked us to call it Around

0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:35.360
<v Speaker 3>the NFL Podcast because there was another news program called

0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:37.680
<v Speaker 3>Around the NFL and they wanted that to be synced up.

0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:39.919
<v Speaker 3>But that news program did not last long. We remained

0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:43.200
<v Speaker 3>Around the NFL. But the song it's too expensive to

0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:44.480
<v Speaker 3>make it, but the song remains.

0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:49.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Yes, that's the great Dick Banks, the one man

0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:52.919
<v Speaker 2>house band from Dave Danisheck, actually, I'm sure I get

0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:55.200
<v Speaker 2>hit up Dick and be like, hey, you want to update.

0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:57.320
<v Speaker 3>It's like, no, I don't want to. We don't need to,

0:02:57.440 --> 0:02:59.720
<v Speaker 3>we don't need to. Bus ATL sounds better. It never

0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:03.040
<v Speaker 3>really they have gotten around at and AT that's bad.

0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:04.480
<v Speaker 3>At NFL, that's not good that.

0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:06.760
<v Speaker 5>Matching news show. By the way, we were never invited

0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:09.400
<v Speaker 5>to participate on air in any fashion.

0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:11.000
<v Speaker 4>I think we were Actually I think we had a

0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:11.919
<v Speaker 4>regular spot on it.

0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:15.080
<v Speaker 5>No, no, no, like the old old version before they Yeah, I.

0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:17.040
<v Speaker 3>Think we had like where they made an NFL and

0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:18.600
<v Speaker 3>was involved.

0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:19.280
<v Speaker 4>Yes, I do.

0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:22.680
<v Speaker 2>All right, we're already off track here. It's a beefy show.

0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:25.799
<v Speaker 2>It's a Thursday show. It's week two in the NFL.

0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:27.440
<v Speaker 2>If you if you caught the Wednesday show. Did you

0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:29.400
<v Speaker 2>catch the Wednesday show? I know you're under the weather mark.

0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:30.200
<v Speaker 2>Did you catch the show?

0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:33.680
<v Speaker 5>It's what I the minute I exit the studio, I'll

0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:36.320
<v Speaker 5>be listening to that. No, I was like three sheets

0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:38.160
<v Speaker 5>to the wind in terms of health, just lost.

0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:38.680
<v Speaker 4>You were drunk?

0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:39.800
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, No, that's not the term.

0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:40.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean.

0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:41.160
<v Speaker 5>I was literally was like.

0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:42.600
<v Speaker 4>Confirming our suspicions.

0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:46.080
<v Speaker 5>I don't want to give Colleen, Greg and Dan much

0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:48.240
<v Speaker 5>less everyone behind the glass what I thought I had

0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:50.240
<v Speaker 5>yesterday and I much better now.

0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:50.640
<v Speaker 4>Thank you.

0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:52.480
<v Speaker 5>But no, I did not listen to a second of it.

0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:57.360
<v Speaker 4>Give him a round of applause, keeping us healthy long season.

0:03:58.240 --> 0:03:58.560
<v Speaker 4>Thank you.

0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:05.720
<v Speaker 2>But you should know that Thursday we preview the Thursday

0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:09.080
<v Speaker 2>night game, which, by the way, we will be covering

0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:12.720
<v Speaker 2>the recap of Vikings Eagles tonight.

0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:14.440
<v Speaker 4>You get more programming from us.

0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:18.960
<v Speaker 2>And we also previewed Sunday night football Dolphins Pats and

0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:21.520
<v Speaker 2>then two Monday night games Saints Panthers, Brown Steeler. So

0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:24.440
<v Speaker 2>check out Wednesday show with Colleen Wolf for those previews.

0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:26.200
<v Speaker 2>Now we're gonna hit all the other games, all the

0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:29.760
<v Speaker 2>non primetime games, and we do it draft style, and

0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:33.799
<v Speaker 2>we have our locks of the week. Greg, congratulations, You've

0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:35.640
<v Speaker 2>always been very high in your own supply in this

0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:39.680
<v Speaker 2>in this particular department. What do you mean you can

0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:42.400
<v Speaker 2>own it. We've had success and you never cease to

0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:46.240
<v Speaker 2>remind us of it. You're now again ahead of me.

0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:50.280
<v Speaker 2>Mark and the westling Zoo. We all lost and you

0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:54.159
<v Speaker 2>locked up effectively in week one. So big week for Mark.

0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:55.960
<v Speaker 2>Another thing you should know Mark, is we set the

0:04:56.000 --> 0:05:02.400
<v Speaker 2>table here. Yeah, you should know that Mark, Greg and

0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:07.160
<v Speaker 2>myself both locked up the Eagles on Wednesday's program.

0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:10.599
<v Speaker 5>All right, what was the Vegas scenario there? That seems

0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:10.920
<v Speaker 5>like it.

0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:15.600
<v Speaker 4>Was according to Draft Kings, they were six point favorites.

0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:18.200
<v Speaker 4>Courageous the mirror.

0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:19.960
<v Speaker 3>I wasn't gonna do it. I had a different one,

0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:21.080
<v Speaker 3>and then Dan did it.

0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:22.400
<v Speaker 4>Just like the mirror was foggy.

0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:23.680
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I'd say it a little fun.

0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:25.919
<v Speaker 2>But I've had a bad week and I felt like

0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:28.320
<v Speaker 2>I deserved maybe a walk in the park lock.

0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:30.520
<v Speaker 4>But I thought that lasted good. The Chiefs too, so

0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:31.000
<v Speaker 4>we'll see.

0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:32.800
<v Speaker 5>I don't but I don't know. I don't come at

0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:36.240
<v Speaker 5>you guys about the it's under actually seven.

0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:38.760
<v Speaker 3>We I have some some lock stuff. We'll get to

0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:41.320
<v Speaker 3>it later. I feel like we've gotten we've gotten too slow.

0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:43.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, let's get let's go. Let's get to it.

0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:49.520
<v Speaker 2>Let's start with the first overall pick. Look at this

0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:53.520
<v Speaker 2>at MS number one pick up the week, presented by

0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:58.520
<v Speaker 2>the aformentioned Draft Kings, and it is the Kansas City

0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:03.080
<v Speaker 2>Chiefs at the Jacksonville jack Uars. The spread here is

0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:06.280
<v Speaker 2>Chiefs laying three and a half over under fifty one,

0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:11.440
<v Speaker 2>a showdown of two teams they met in the playoffs

0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:16.919
<v Speaker 2>a year ago. And Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs are

0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:20.520
<v Speaker 2>coming off a very deeply frustrating Week one loss one

0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:24.400
<v Speaker 2>point loss to the Lions in which they hadn't listened.

0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:26.119
<v Speaker 4>They had no business losing that game.

0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:28.800
<v Speaker 2>They couldn't catch the football and it was a grotesque

0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:33.279
<v Speaker 2>showing by their receivers, particularly Kadarius Tony, who has a

0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:37.200
<v Speaker 2>lot to make up for starting this Sunday at one

0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:38.120
<v Speaker 2>pm on CBS.

0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:38.920
<v Speaker 4>Who's got the Call?

0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:43.440
<v Speaker 2>By the way, Iron Eagle, Charles Davis and Evan Washburn.

0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:46.320
<v Speaker 2>The Chiefs are laying three and a half points, and

0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:48.920
<v Speaker 2>I feel very good about it. Travis Kelsey returned to

0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:53.240
<v Speaker 2>practice in a limited capacity on Wednesday, so he's trending upward.

0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:55.200
<v Speaker 2>And if you get Kelsey back in the lineup, Greg

0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:58.800
<v Speaker 2>and you get a mad Chiefs team about how they

0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:02.599
<v Speaker 2>executed on a lot. I think they're gonna be okay here,

0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:04.240
<v Speaker 2>but I'm not sleeping on the jack.

0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:08.200
<v Speaker 3>I think they'll be okay. But this is I'm fascinated

0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:11.360
<v Speaker 3>by this game. I'm curious. You know your quick opinions

0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:13.800
<v Speaker 3>on the Kelsey Taylor Swift rumors here?

0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:18.320
<v Speaker 2>Yes, both born in nineteen eighty nine. Kelsey apparently tried

0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:22.320
<v Speaker 2>to get his number to Swift, initially rebuff but now.

0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:25.640
<v Speaker 3>Potentially potentially hanging out. I think it's not good that

0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:26.040
<v Speaker 3>could be.

0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:27.160
<v Speaker 4>I don't think that could.

0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:30.360
<v Speaker 3>Be a factor. I think look, he's grown a lot

0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:35.040
<v Speaker 3>since catching Kelsey. The the reality show that Lakeisha and

0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:36.960
<v Speaker 3>Chris Westling both enjoyed, What.

0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:38.400
<v Speaker 4>If You Want to Talk, Yo? Talkyo?

0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:42.280
<v Speaker 3>But I think you were reminded, like what an incredibly

0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:46.080
<v Speaker 3>valuable part of the Chiefs offense. Like that's obvious. He's

0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:48.520
<v Speaker 3>a Hall of Famer, But I think what gets lost

0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:51.080
<v Speaker 3>a little is as good as Andy Reid is, as

0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:55.440
<v Speaker 3>good as Patrick Mahomes is. Travis Kelce's presence opens things

0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:58.640
<v Speaker 3>up for the rest of the receivers in a way

0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:01.080
<v Speaker 3>that they struggled to get. And I'm not sure what

0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:02.920
<v Speaker 3>this Jaguars defense is going to be this year. I

0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:04.400
<v Speaker 3>was not high on them coming into the year. I

0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:06.600
<v Speaker 3>don't think we learned much Week one against the Colts.

0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:09.240
<v Speaker 3>I think the Chiefs should have a nice bounce back

0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:12.320
<v Speaker 3>game Offensively, the question is like can they hold up

0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:14.680
<v Speaker 3>against t lock because Trevor Lawrence looked like he was

0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:17.160
<v Speaker 3>ready to make that leap last week. Mark. I mean

0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:19.240
<v Speaker 3>not that he wasn't great down the stretch last year,

0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:21.600
<v Speaker 3>but now he's got Calvin Ridley and he was just

0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:23.760
<v Speaker 3>making some next level throws to the point where you

0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:25.360
<v Speaker 3>believe they could keep up in a shootout.

0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:28.679
<v Speaker 5>No one could stop Calvin Ridley and it's it's amazing

0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:30.800
<v Speaker 5>to me. I think that had to be like, quietly

0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:33.000
<v Speaker 5>the trade of the year A season ago when it

0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:35.040
<v Speaker 5>was it's under the radar because Calvin Ridley was not

0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:37.360
<v Speaker 5>going to play. But they gave up very little to

0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:39.760
<v Speaker 5>what is a bona fide star wide out and it

0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:43.520
<v Speaker 5>right away changed who they were on offense. I thought, Lawrence,

0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:46.000
<v Speaker 5>you know, the one thing that concerned me a little

0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:48.800
<v Speaker 5>bit was I thought that Indy pushed that Jacksonville line

0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:51.280
<v Speaker 5>around a little bit last week and gave gave Lawrence

0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:53.199
<v Speaker 5>some problems and put him under pressure. And so you

0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:55.720
<v Speaker 5>got Chris Jones back, and it's like Chris Jones, I

0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:58.280
<v Speaker 5>think could be a depending on what version we get them,

0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:00.480
<v Speaker 5>could be a huge factor in this game. And so

0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:03.400
<v Speaker 5>you have your two best players back and Kelsey probably

0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:06.240
<v Speaker 5>normalizes the offense to some degree, and really, like what

0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:08.800
<v Speaker 5>we saw was so atypical for Kansas City in general.

0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:11.440
<v Speaker 5>Kadarius Tony, I don't think I'll ever have a game

0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:13.559
<v Speaker 5>like that again. I know he's inconsistent, but like, you're

0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:15.600
<v Speaker 5>not going to get that version of it. Outside of that.

0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:19.200
<v Speaker 5>Just before halftime march by Patrick Mahomes, we had three

0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:22.320
<v Speaker 5>completions with twenty five plus yards. They were so quiet.

0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:25.000
<v Speaker 5>They scored six points in the second half. They only

0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:28.120
<v Speaker 5>allowed fourteen to Detroit, But the one area where they

0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:30.520
<v Speaker 5>were battered was on the run down the stretch. They

0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:32.400
<v Speaker 5>just looked tired and different. I think Chris Jones can

0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:34.599
<v Speaker 5>change that, and I don't know if I trust Jacksonville

0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:36.720
<v Speaker 5>as a team that can go take it to the

0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:38.120
<v Speaker 5>Chiefs on the ground necessarily.

0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:42.880
<v Speaker 2>Kadarius Tony is very happy that Chase Claypool's in the

0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:44.760
<v Speaker 2>league because otherwise he would have been the worst player

0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:45.719
<v Speaker 2>in football in Week one.

0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:47.160
<v Speaker 4>He's not the worst player in football.

0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:49.000
<v Speaker 2>In fact, I would not be surprised if Kadarius Tony

0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:50.480
<v Speaker 2>has a really big bounce back game.

0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:51.959
<v Speaker 4>I think he has a lot of talent.

0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:53.720
<v Speaker 2>We were hyping him up, a lot of people hyping

0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:55.840
<v Speaker 2>him up in the offseason for a reason.

0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:56.920
<v Speaker 4>I agree.

0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:58.559
<v Speaker 2>I talked about this four of the season started, that

0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:00.480
<v Speaker 2>people are sleeping on Trevor Lawrence, a guy could be

0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:03.880
<v Speaker 2>an MVP candidate. That throw that he made to Zay

0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:07.560
<v Speaker 2>Jones against the Colts, that's everything, and Jay Jones did

0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:10.640
<v Speaker 2>a great job there too. But you get Ridley Jones,

0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:13.520
<v Speaker 2>Ingram and Travis a TN. I thought look had a

0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:14.920
<v Speaker 2>lot of bursts look good in that game.

0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:17.120
<v Speaker 5>He's underrated.

0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:19.079
<v Speaker 2>I think the Chiefs are gonna take care of business

0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:21.120
<v Speaker 2>here because I just can't imagine them falling to own

0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:23.360
<v Speaker 2>two and losing the way they did in Week one

0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:26.000
<v Speaker 2>and not coming out mad as hell and ready to

0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:28.800
<v Speaker 2>kick some ass. But would it surprise me this is

0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:30.920
<v Speaker 2>a tight game in Jacksonville. It wouldn't. I think the

0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:33.319
<v Speaker 2>Chiefs take this, but I think it's gonna be, you know,

0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:35.080
<v Speaker 2>twenty eight to twenty four or something like that.

0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:35.800
<v Speaker 4>I like this one.

0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:39.880
<v Speaker 3>Jacks fans who want to see this team as one

0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:42.360
<v Speaker 3>of the AFC rising powers, like this is a great

0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:45.360
<v Speaker 3>early season statement because I still don't think the Chiefs

0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:48.120
<v Speaker 3>will have beyond their p's and q's totally. And Trevon

0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:49.960
<v Speaker 3>Walker had a sack last week, a little bit better

0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:52.160
<v Speaker 3>of a game from him. Josh Allen played great, and

0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:55.320
<v Speaker 3>it wasn't just the Josh Allen of the Jaguars, that is,

0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:56.040
<v Speaker 3>with three secs in.

0:10:56.440 --> 0:10:58.160
<v Speaker 4>Josh Allen, look at you with all your disclaims.

0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:01.040
<v Speaker 3>It wasn't just the wide receiver that struggled. It was

0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:04.079
<v Speaker 3>the tackles. And I'm more worried actually about the tackles.

0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:07.480
<v Speaker 3>Long term. Donovan Smith, kind of the longtime veteran with

0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:10.760
<v Speaker 3>the Bucks. If if Trayvon Walker and Josh Allen can

0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:13.640
<v Speaker 3>win those matchups up front against the tackles, you could

0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:15.320
<v Speaker 3>have you could have trouble. But I really love what

0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:17.280
<v Speaker 3>I saw with t Law getting to his third reads

0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:19.199
<v Speaker 3>and just so quickly he's starting to look like.

0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:22.520
<v Speaker 2>He's a great player and he's just starting to scratch

0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:27.760
<v Speaker 2>a surface. Look out what one week one takeaway? Maybe

0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:29.720
<v Speaker 2>this conference is a little more wide open than we thought.

0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:33.640
<v Speaker 2>And AFC yeah, well yeah, fortunately, you know the Aaron

0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:37.600
<v Speaker 2>Rodgers situation that made the AFC East a little bit different. Uh,

0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:39.640
<v Speaker 2>the Jaguars, it's there for them to take the next

0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:42.160
<v Speaker 2>step of the quarterback enters the Superstar club.

0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:43.840

0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:04.840
<v Speaker 5>All right, I'm not doing this to annoy you particularly,

0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:07.280
<v Speaker 5>but I I love this matchup. I'm going green Bay

0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:10.840
<v Speaker 5>at Atlanta. You know, I think I come out of

0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:12.400
<v Speaker 5>last week sort of just wondering.

0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:14.720
<v Speaker 3>I had a feeling I was circling this one.

0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:17.080
<v Speaker 2>I already had you already had Mark's name next to him.

0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:19.360
<v Speaker 2>I know, well, but that's fine. But I'm not annoyed by.

0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:21.199
<v Speaker 5>I think that's a reach too, because no it's not.

0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:23.640
<v Speaker 5>It's good fun teams, two teams I would have one

0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:25.959
<v Speaker 5>fun I would have avoided entirely a year ago. They're

0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:28.280
<v Speaker 5>about fun. What are you talking about? I do think though,

0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:31.800
<v Speaker 5>to your point, Dan, you're a suspicion about Desmond Ritter. He

0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:34.520
<v Speaker 5>went fifteen for eighteen a week ago, and if you

0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:36.480
<v Speaker 5>didn't watch the game, you're thinking that's pretty efficient. But

0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:38.440
<v Speaker 5>I mean it was just sort of a mirage outside

0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:41.400
<v Speaker 5>of like a thirty five yard shot to Kyle Pitts,

0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:44.680
<v Speaker 5>very little, very little happening in the in the in

0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:47.360
<v Speaker 5>the air game at all. And but that doesn't take

0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:48.800
<v Speaker 5>away from the one thing that I think that we

0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:51.040
<v Speaker 5>knew we'd see and being fascinated with, which was b

0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:53.120
<v Speaker 5>John Robinson. It's like I just want to see more

0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:55.280
<v Speaker 5>and more of him, like his ability, especially as a

0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:58.160
<v Speaker 5>pass catcher. He if you're not on him right away.

0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:02.040
<v Speaker 5>His you give him a yard, he'll juke around you

0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:03.600
<v Speaker 5>when he's gone. And it's just like this is a

0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:06.560
<v Speaker 5>true right right away rookie weapon who I made.

0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:08.079
<v Speaker 3>It's seven points where I don't know if anyone in

0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:09.560
<v Speaker 3>the league would have created the seven points.

0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:12.120
<v Speaker 2>I totally agree, and like this would make one request, Yeah,

0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:14.000
<v Speaker 2>can we get twenty touches for beje on this show?

0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:15.360
<v Speaker 5>I think I think we're gonna see more of that.

0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:17.240
<v Speaker 5>But but that's all the thing is, Like I guess

0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:20.439
<v Speaker 5>people would say, like take Tyler Algier out of the lineup. No,

0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:23.480
<v Speaker 5>I love saying these guys. I'd run the ball thirty

0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:26.480
<v Speaker 5>five forty times. Sure, right, And I think in general,

0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:30.080
<v Speaker 5>like it's a good test for the Packers because the

0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:35.280
<v Speaker 5>more rewatching like that Packers Bears game, the Bears are

0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:37.679
<v Speaker 5>a disaster, like they did this, and so what what

0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:40.959
<v Speaker 5>we saw from Love and the Packers offense, which was

0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:42.880
<v Speaker 5>very hopeful, I thought, I thought he played a good game.

0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:45.280
<v Speaker 5>It's like this is a better test because the Falcons

0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:48.280
<v Speaker 5>a week ago, their defensive line showed up. I thought

0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:51.640
<v Speaker 5>that they're like their secondary there redone secondary showed up,

0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:53.600
<v Speaker 5>and it's this is a better battle on that front

0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:55.520
<v Speaker 5>to find out what love in the Packers offense is.

0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:58.440
<v Speaker 5>Although there's a I really am optimistic about his first performance.

0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:01.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm curious to see that too, though. I think

0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:03.080
<v Speaker 3>it's a nice setup. I mean, he had he faced

0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:05.800
<v Speaker 3>no pass rush last week. Literally, the Bears had two

0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:08.480
<v Speaker 3>pressures in the entire game that that were driven by

0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:11.559
<v Speaker 3>their show. But I don't think that the Falcons is

0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:12.920
<v Speaker 3>some great pass rushing team either.

0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:14.240
<v Speaker 5>They had a nice they were better.

0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:15.760
<v Speaker 3>They had a nice week last week. On your model

0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:17.560
<v Speaker 3>looks like a nice s I mean, but I do

0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:20.160
<v Speaker 3>want to have another point of order. I keep doing this. Okay,

0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:23.760
<v Speaker 3>So Cynthia Freelan heard I hope him not speaking out

0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:28.240
<v Speaker 3>of school here too late. Now it's Bjeon Robinson. No

0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:31.440
<v Speaker 3>one is on this because I've heard it on ESPN,

0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:34.240
<v Speaker 3>NFL network no one. No one is saying this yet,

0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:37.479
<v Speaker 3>but it's been quietly putting out there from the Falcons

0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:41.320
<v Speaker 3>uh PR staff. I think that it's bon.

0:14:41.040 --> 0:14:41.400
<v Speaker 6>And he did.

0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:44.200
<v Speaker 3>No one saying that it's It's been Bejon everywhere in

0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:46.880
<v Speaker 3>the country. I haven't heard anyone say it quote unquote right,

0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:48.040
<v Speaker 3>But we could change.

0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:50.320
<v Speaker 5>The player himself did the thing where he maybe it's

0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:52.880
<v Speaker 5>kind of gracefully didn't correct anyone, just well.

0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:54.840
<v Speaker 3>Maybe if the pr staff is reaching out, then maybe

0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:58.080
<v Speaker 3>maybe Tojon, you're just just throwing that out there. I'm

0:14:58.080 --> 0:14:58.440
<v Speaker 3>with you.

0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:01.440
<v Speaker 4>Uh, I'm not ready yet. Yeah, but good to know

0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:04.560
<v Speaker 4>and I'm open to change, just not there yet.

0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:07.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm curious. Is this Packers even actually gonna be different

0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:09.880
<v Speaker 3>this year? The number one thing that they've struggled with

0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:11.960
<v Speaker 3>the last few years is stopping the run. So what

0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:14.880
<v Speaker 3>a great test because they have a lot of talent

0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:18.800
<v Speaker 3>on their defense and they looked pretty good last week,

0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:22.840
<v Speaker 3>but it was against Chicago. Have they actually fixed anything?

0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:24.880
<v Speaker 3>Because this is gonna be a great test. We know

0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:26.680
<v Speaker 3>that the Falcons aren't going to throw the ball that much,

0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:27.760
<v Speaker 3>but can they stop this running?

0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:31.120
<v Speaker 2>Here's the quote, by the way from Falcons RB Robinson

0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:35.160
<v Speaker 2>and that's why nobody's wrong and you're not offending anyone

0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:38.760
<v Speaker 2>or being disrespectful. Here's his quote. How you pronounced this

0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:41.800
<v Speaker 2>the SI? How you pronounce my name is bijan, Like,

0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:44.560
<v Speaker 2>that's how you say my name? He said, I actually

0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:48.240
<v Speaker 2>told Fox five in Atlanta, but I say bijeon m.

0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:52.240
<v Speaker 4>So we're not wrong then it's almost a little snooty

0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:54.600
<v Speaker 4>and like, look how smart. Well, I didn't even know

0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:56.840
<v Speaker 4>until I am to call him, by the way his

0:15:56.960 --> 0:16:00.200
<v Speaker 4>mother says it, when Bijeon himself is calling him self

0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:01.440
<v Speaker 4>beije On, that's good enough for me.

0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:02.200
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I'm with you.

0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:03.560
<v Speaker 3>I didn't I didn't know about this.

0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:07.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this is this is some hard hitting googling from

0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:08.320
<v Speaker 2>the old user and a big spot.

0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:10.040
<v Speaker 5>Falcon's getting a point by the way in.

0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:13.440
<v Speaker 3>This that's it, Huh. I like the tight I like

0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:18.360
<v Speaker 3>the Falcons here to win this game. I do why

0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:18.960
<v Speaker 3>are you laughing?

0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:20.400
<v Speaker 4>Knows what I did there?

0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:23.280
<v Speaker 3>I know what Oh, I do know what you did.

0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:24.800
<v Speaker 5>That was being a good little boy.

0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:29.360
<v Speaker 3>It was well timed. It wasn't awkward aough. Uh batt

0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:31.560
<v Speaker 3>Lafleur had like an incredible game last week. We should

0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:33.280
<v Speaker 3>point it like, I don't think he's gonna have receivers

0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:36.240
<v Speaker 3>this wide open. I'm really fascinated by him because he

0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:38.800
<v Speaker 3>played much safer, I think than he did the first

0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:41.400
<v Speaker 3>time we saw. And he does some really wild stuff,

0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:44.520
<v Speaker 3>some fun stuff. We might have a little fun stuff

0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:48.240
<v Speaker 3>on uh the NFL plus a little later. And he

0:16:48.320 --> 0:16:50.720
<v Speaker 3>makes good decisions. But like every fourth pass kind of

0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:54.720
<v Speaker 3>goes totally awry. So that's like he's a he's a fascinating.

0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:57.120
<v Speaker 5>The Packers are banged up too, because we've got Christian

0:16:57.120 --> 0:16:59.640
<v Speaker 5>Watson still not practicing on on Wednesday, Leavest with a

0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:02.760
<v Speaker 5>hamstrng Aaron Jones, who was dominant against the Bears. Really,

0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:06.560
<v Speaker 5>I mean changed that game. Hamstring situation, kway Walker awesome

0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:07.120
<v Speaker 5>last week.

0:17:07.160 --> 0:17:10.919
<v Speaker 4>Concussion situation, so a little bit banged up. Good setup

0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:14.440
<v Speaker 4>the weather there, yeah, good setup. You could really get

0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:17.399
<v Speaker 4>out of the gates. How is a pistol here with it?

0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:20.119
<v Speaker 5>That Falcons crowd unblirable?

0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:25.159
<v Speaker 2>What a great football, great football team? What we were

0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:27.040
<v Speaker 2>laughing about earlier. I'm not We're not going to tell

0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:28.600
<v Speaker 2>the audience. Yeah, so funny, but let's see if they

0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:29.080
<v Speaker 2>figured out this.

0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:31.720
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, well we didn't do such a good job in

0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:32.919
<v Speaker 5>the first matchup.

0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:34.719
<v Speaker 4>So all right, here we go. I said it.

0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:37.160
<v Speaker 5>Then we did do such a good job.

0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:38.639
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, okay, okay, here we go.

0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:39.840
<v Speaker 5>So much inside baseball.

0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:43.080
<v Speaker 3>Pick three goes to Greg Rosehal okay, I guess uh,

0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:45.520
<v Speaker 3>you know, I had a pretty clear top three. The

0:17:45.600 --> 0:17:50.920
<v Speaker 3>first two are gone. Let's go Seahawks at Lions. Geno

0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:55.760
<v Speaker 3>versus the defending team of atl The Lions are a

0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:58.960
<v Speaker 3>five and a half point favorite in nuts game.

0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:01.840
<v Speaker 4>They were the twenty twenty two.

0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:07.480
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I guess that's how it works. I am surprised.

0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:08.879
<v Speaker 3>Like if you had told me before Week one they

0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:11.280
<v Speaker 3>would be five and a half point favorites, that would

0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:12.960
<v Speaker 3>have that would have surprised me. You thought this team,

0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:14.639
<v Speaker 3>these two teams would have been closer, but one had

0:18:14.640 --> 0:18:16.480
<v Speaker 3>a great Week one one at one of the worst

0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:18.320
<v Speaker 3>week ones in the league, and it's not getting any better.

0:18:18.840 --> 0:18:22.320
<v Speaker 3>A bluecasts starting right tackle for the Seahawks. Injured reserve

0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:27.280
<v Speaker 3>Charles Cross starting left tackle for the Seahawks not practicing.

0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:29.280
<v Speaker 3>Sounds like that injury is gonna take a little bit.

0:18:29.400 --> 0:18:32.199
<v Speaker 3>Jason Peters fifty two years old.

0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:33.720
<v Speaker 4>Way, Jason Peters, don't.

0:18:33.560 --> 0:18:35.960
<v Speaker 3>Don't start that five year clock to start talking about

0:18:35.960 --> 0:18:37.320
<v Speaker 3>the Hall of Fame because he will have a Hall

0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:40.320
<v Speaker 3>of Fame discussion for sure. Uh, he's back in the

0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:42.920
<v Speaker 3>league and he might just be a joke playing left

0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:47.080
<v Speaker 3>tackle once again for Gino. And so that's that's a

0:18:47.080 --> 0:18:48.280
<v Speaker 3>little bit worry simmy.

0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:51.520
<v Speaker 4>They had good health on that line last year, correct.

0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:52.520
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, but better than this.

0:18:53.160 --> 0:18:55.640
<v Speaker 3>Finds a disastrous those two guys played the whole time

0:18:55.720 --> 0:18:58.199
<v Speaker 3>until the till the very end. And the funny thing is,

0:18:58.240 --> 0:19:00.440
<v Speaker 3>I actually think of their interior as a big time

0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:03.320
<v Speaker 3>struggle fest, and they were a week ago. So suddenly

0:19:03.720 --> 0:19:06.040
<v Speaker 3>you compare these two offensive lines and you have one.

0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:09.160
<v Speaker 3>I think these two quarterbacks both need to be protected

0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:11.760
<v Speaker 3>like most, but they're not like elite that and you

0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:13.760
<v Speaker 3>have one guy who's got maybe the best line in

0:19:13.800 --> 0:19:16.320
<v Speaker 3>the league, and it makes a big difference that that

0:19:16.760 --> 0:19:19.359
<v Speaker 3>Vitie is back. I really believe that he can be

0:19:19.359 --> 0:19:21.520
<v Speaker 3>an elite player. Dan Campbell pointed it out they never

0:19:21.560 --> 0:19:24.240
<v Speaker 3>had their whole line last year in Detroit compared to Seattle.

0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:27.120
<v Speaker 3>I think you're gonna have one quarterback really under pressure,

0:19:27.160 --> 0:19:29.520
<v Speaker 3>and I think you're gonna have one Jared Goff just

0:19:29.560 --> 0:19:32.879
<v Speaker 3>sitting back there picking out, uh, those middle of the

0:19:32.880 --> 0:19:35.560
<v Speaker 3>field passes, Like every good Jared Goff pass kind of

0:19:35.560 --> 0:19:37.960
<v Speaker 3>looks the same, but it always looks good. It's like

0:19:38.080 --> 0:19:40.960
<v Speaker 3>seventeen yards across the middle. Let's go, well, he's so

0:19:41.080 --> 0:19:41.920
<v Speaker 3>he's totally well.

0:19:41.960 --> 0:19:43.679
<v Speaker 5>I love the way the Lions are built because, like

0:19:43.720 --> 0:19:46.639
<v Speaker 5>their offensive line won that game for them down the

0:19:46.640 --> 0:19:49.040
<v Speaker 5>stretch against the Chiefs, like they are dominant, they tire

0:19:49.040 --> 0:19:51.760
<v Speaker 5>teams out. You're gonna see more of Jamiir Gibbs. I

0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:54.520
<v Speaker 5>think they they're just kind of built to do this.

0:19:54.840 --> 0:19:57.120
<v Speaker 5>Their defensive line, their pass rush is so much better

0:19:57.160 --> 0:19:59.080
<v Speaker 5>than it was a couple of years ago. And it's like,

0:19:59.160 --> 0:20:01.399
<v Speaker 5>I don't love the common nation of Seattle's banged up

0:20:01.400 --> 0:20:04.840
<v Speaker 5>line and Detroit essentially going after Gino Smith from the

0:20:04.840 --> 0:20:07.600
<v Speaker 5>start because him under pressure is a different type of quarterback,

0:20:08.400 --> 0:20:11.280
<v Speaker 5>Like they got eaten up by the Rams last week.

0:20:11.320 --> 0:20:12.679
<v Speaker 5>On both sides. It's like that has to be the

0:20:12.680 --> 0:20:16.520
<v Speaker 5>most disappointing performance that came out of nowhere. I mean,

0:20:16.520 --> 0:20:18.119
<v Speaker 5>we were expecting it to go be a forty to

0:20:18.160 --> 0:20:20.520
<v Speaker 5>seven blowout in terms of Seattle with their best wide

0:20:20.520 --> 0:20:23.240
<v Speaker 5>receiver corps in the league, and it's like, Nope, none

0:20:23.280 --> 0:20:23.840
<v Speaker 5>of it showed up.

0:20:24.040 --> 0:20:26.560
<v Speaker 2>I like this matchup because this is these are two

0:20:26.600 --> 0:20:28.520
<v Speaker 2>teams that are near the top of the list, or

0:20:28.560 --> 0:20:30.239
<v Speaker 2>I just kind of want to learn a little bit

0:20:30.280 --> 0:20:33.600
<v Speaker 2>more about Sure, because the Lions. And this is no

0:20:33.760 --> 0:20:37.560
<v Speaker 2>disrespect to Lions fans out there, I know that the

0:20:37.720 --> 0:20:40.480
<v Speaker 2>narrative around that game was look at the big Lions.

0:20:40.480 --> 0:20:41.720
<v Speaker 4>They have arrived, They've now.

0:20:41.560 --> 0:20:44.280
<v Speaker 2>Beaten the Chiefs on the road, and I watched the

0:20:44.320 --> 0:20:47.040
<v Speaker 2>game and then I rewatched it uncondensed, and I'm saying

0:20:47.160 --> 0:20:50.200
<v Speaker 2>they did play a really gutty and they got the win.

0:20:50.359 --> 0:20:52.680
<v Speaker 2>I thought they were very fortunate in many ways to

0:20:53.040 --> 0:20:56.080
<v Speaker 2>get that victory, which is not taking away, but it's

0:20:56.080 --> 0:20:57.360
<v Speaker 2>also I'm not ready to say that.

0:20:57.280 --> 0:20:59.480
<v Speaker 3>You're mad about the lock. Just admit it. No locked

0:20:59.520 --> 0:21:01.680
<v Speaker 3>up against team of acl in your minds are saying

0:21:01.680 --> 0:21:01.919
<v Speaker 3>if you.

0:21:01.920 --> 0:21:05.680
<v Speaker 5>Take away Kansas City that, yeah, change is changed.

0:21:05.760 --> 0:21:06.200
<v Speaker 3>Ye, I like.

0:21:06.160 --> 0:21:08.960
<v Speaker 2>Sneaky don't care that much about locks. I think I

0:21:09.000 --> 0:21:12.480
<v Speaker 2>think you care a lot about them. It's like it's over.

0:21:13.440 --> 0:21:17.000
<v Speaker 2>I really think that the Lions are a very compelling,

0:21:17.080 --> 0:21:19.280
<v Speaker 2>interesting team. But it's not like beating the Chiefs and

0:21:19.359 --> 0:21:21.119
<v Speaker 2>Arrowhead in Week one made me think, Okay, now this

0:21:21.200 --> 0:21:22.919
<v Speaker 2>is a superpower. Now it's time to look at the

0:21:22.920 --> 0:21:24.440
<v Speaker 2>Lions differently. I'm not there yet.

0:21:24.440 --> 0:21:24.680
<v Speaker 4>Now.

0:21:25.520 --> 0:21:29.640
<v Speaker 2>Spank Seattle, coming off a really ugly Week one loss.

0:21:29.320 --> 0:21:30.840
<v Speaker 4>Would would tell me two things.

0:21:31.000 --> 0:21:33.000
<v Speaker 2>One, Okay, it's time to give the Lions a little

0:21:33.040 --> 0:21:36.600
<v Speaker 2>more flowers because they're two and zero. And now, going

0:21:36.640 --> 0:21:38.760
<v Speaker 2>back to last year, I think ten of twelve if

0:21:38.760 --> 0:21:40.960
<v Speaker 2>they went and Seattle. You start to really start to

0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:44.160
<v Speaker 2>ask questions Greg about Seattle and whether they're even any

0:21:44.160 --> 0:21:47.760
<v Speaker 2>good after this offseason of hyping them up. Week four,

0:21:47.800 --> 0:21:51.080
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty two, A little change of subject here.

0:21:51.680 --> 0:21:52.960
<v Speaker 4>Forty eight forty five.

0:21:53.800 --> 0:21:55.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that was really gu Gino's greatest.

0:21:55.640 --> 0:21:59.399
<v Speaker 4>Game of his life. He completed seventy seven percent of

0:21:59.400 --> 0:22:01.840
<v Speaker 4>his passes, He threw for three hundred and seventy yards,

0:22:01.880 --> 0:22:06.480
<v Speaker 4>three touchdowns. Passer rating won thirty two point six. Beautiful.

0:22:06.760 --> 0:22:08.840
<v Speaker 4>Do we get another shootout? I don't know about that.

0:22:08.840 --> 0:22:10.800
<v Speaker 4>I don't think forty eight forty five.

0:22:11.560 --> 0:22:15.560
<v Speaker 5>The Lion's defense is transformed from that, Yes, that situation.

0:22:15.600 --> 0:22:18.480
<v Speaker 5>Their secondary I thought right away looked so much better.

0:22:18.560 --> 0:22:20.639
<v Speaker 5>Brian Branch, I mean, I think Jack Hampbell made some

0:22:20.640 --> 0:22:22.960
<v Speaker 5>plays last week. They've added pad deuce. He just shows

0:22:23.040 --> 0:22:25.880
<v Speaker 5>up and makes plays wherever he goes. I actually am

0:22:25.880 --> 0:22:28.440
<v Speaker 5>a little more concerned about the Lions offense this year.

0:22:28.480 --> 0:22:30.439
<v Speaker 5>They only scored fourteen points in that game. Then the

0:22:30.480 --> 0:22:32.760
<v Speaker 5>defense right now, they're just so deep. I know that's

0:22:32.800 --> 0:22:34.880
<v Speaker 5>not superstars, but who made all the big plays last week?

0:22:35.160 --> 0:22:36.720
<v Speaker 5>Josh Pascal made that play.

0:22:36.880 --> 0:22:40.600
<v Speaker 3>Second year player Charles Harris got the big holding call

0:22:40.640 --> 0:22:43.520
<v Speaker 3>in the last rain. They're just deep everywhere and I

0:22:43.520 --> 0:22:45.720
<v Speaker 3>think they can win multiple kinds of ways. The Seahawks.

0:22:45.760 --> 0:22:48.960
<v Speaker 3>When was the last defense Pete Carroll had? And he

0:22:49.080 --> 0:22:51.080
<v Speaker 3>skated a little bit on this last year, but when

0:22:51.119 --> 0:22:53.280
<v Speaker 3>was the last defense that was above average in Seattle?

0:22:53.280 --> 0:22:55.320
<v Speaker 3>I'll give you the answer. It was twenty seventeen. It

0:22:55.359 --> 0:22:57.480
<v Speaker 3>was a while ago for a defensive coach.

0:22:57.359 --> 0:22:59.360
<v Speaker 4>That the earl Thomas middle Finger year.

0:23:00.480 --> 0:23:02.320
<v Speaker 3>I don't even know, but I just searched for like

0:23:02.400 --> 0:23:04.800
<v Speaker 3>dv Away whatever or even above average. It's been like

0:23:04.880 --> 0:23:05.520
<v Speaker 3>six years.

0:23:05.680 --> 0:23:07.919
<v Speaker 5>They've drafted well though. I think there's there's a lot

0:23:07.960 --> 0:23:10.680
<v Speaker 5>of you like youth on this defense. They just were

0:23:10.680 --> 0:23:11.880
<v Speaker 5>totally out coached a week ago.

0:23:11.960 --> 0:23:13.840
<v Speaker 3>I think we'll see more Gibbs. As you mentioned, six

0:23:14.200 --> 0:23:16.520
<v Speaker 3>missed tackles forced in seven attempts.

0:23:16.560 --> 0:23:18.280
<v Speaker 4>This is outrage. Yeah, give him the rock.

0:23:18.440 --> 0:23:22.320
<v Speaker 2>I want to see Gibbs and Bijon Bajan touch this

0:23:22.400 --> 0:23:25.360
<v Speaker 2>ball twenty times in week two. Take off the training wheels,

0:23:25.520 --> 0:23:29.000
<v Speaker 2>let them leave fair request. I know this has come

0:23:29.080 --> 0:23:31.960
<v Speaker 2>up around the Lions, but my last point amount them

0:23:32.280 --> 0:23:35.680
<v Speaker 2>Jared Goff. I know he's not gonna win MVP or

0:23:35.680 --> 0:23:37.160
<v Speaker 2>anything like that or go to the Hall of Fame,

0:23:37.600 --> 0:23:42.400
<v Speaker 2>but very quietly since Week nine last year, hasn't since

0:23:42.440 --> 0:23:45.280
<v Speaker 2>Week ten last year, eight and two the Lions, he

0:23:45.280 --> 0:23:49.400
<v Speaker 2>hasn't even thrown an interception. Sixteen touchdowns, zero picks. If

0:23:49.400 --> 0:23:54.800
<v Speaker 2>you protect Jared Goff, he will do work. He's going

0:23:54.840 --> 0:23:55.879
<v Speaker 2>to protect Jared Goff.

0:23:55.960 --> 0:23:59.040
<v Speaker 5>He's in that world where he could break the NFL record.

0:23:58.880 --> 0:24:02.200
<v Speaker 3>For especially this week. The Stamps had no pass rush

0:24:02.200 --> 0:24:12.600
<v Speaker 3>against the Rams, and that's something they're concerned about. All Right,

0:24:12.640 --> 0:24:14.960
<v Speaker 3>I got the fourth overall pick, and I don't like

0:24:15.000 --> 0:24:16.760
<v Speaker 3>these late games, so I'm just gonna take the one

0:24:16.800 --> 0:24:19.320
<v Speaker 3>that I want the most because there's four of us shook.

0:24:19.320 --> 0:24:21.800
<v Speaker 3>He's going to be helping out here, and I'm gonna

0:24:21.800 --> 0:24:23.480
<v Speaker 3>lock up my late game. And it's gonna be forty

0:24:23.560 --> 0:24:26.760
<v Speaker 3>nine Ers Rams, And yeah, this is a big spread.

0:24:27.000 --> 0:24:29.400
<v Speaker 3>It's seven and a half for the forty nine Ers.

0:24:29.400 --> 0:24:31.160
<v Speaker 3>I think it was nine earlier in the week, so

0:24:31.680 --> 0:24:35.720
<v Speaker 3>some respect here for the Rams. It's a Week two

0:24:35.960 --> 0:24:39.160
<v Speaker 3>matchup that if the Rams do get blown out, I'm

0:24:39.160 --> 0:24:43.040
<v Speaker 3>not giving up on their journey this season because this

0:24:43.200 --> 0:24:47.119
<v Speaker 3>matchup has been so poor for Sean McVay, even in

0:24:47.200 --> 0:24:50.600
<v Speaker 3>the best of times. But if they cover that spread,

0:24:51.119 --> 0:24:54.280
<v Speaker 3>if they make this a game, if they make it physical,

0:24:54.400 --> 0:24:56.880
<v Speaker 3>and I think that's what mcvay's whole plan was this year,

0:24:56.880 --> 0:24:59.280
<v Speaker 3>and Jordan Roderick's done a great job writing about it,

0:24:59.520 --> 0:25:02.159
<v Speaker 3>especially on offense, where they're gonna do these long drives

0:25:02.200 --> 0:25:05.199
<v Speaker 3>and eighty one plays a week ago. It's gotta be

0:25:05.240 --> 0:25:06.960
<v Speaker 3>tough to do against the forty nine ers. But if

0:25:06.960 --> 0:25:10.120
<v Speaker 3>they can just be physical on both sides, especially on offense,

0:25:10.480 --> 0:25:13.680
<v Speaker 3>and make this a game and that it's it's just compelling,

0:25:14.040 --> 0:25:16.879
<v Speaker 3>and Stafford's throwing some passes, then I think they really

0:25:16.960 --> 0:25:21.080
<v Speaker 3>might have something. I'm worried about their defense being a

0:25:21.119 --> 0:25:23.560
<v Speaker 3>little soft on the edge here, going up against this

0:25:23.680 --> 0:25:25.919
<v Speaker 3>zone blocking, running game, and so I don't know if

0:25:25.960 --> 0:25:28.200
<v Speaker 3>they can hang with him for four quarters. But you

0:25:28.320 --> 0:25:31.879
<v Speaker 3>got my attention, Rams, Like, I'm interested. You got my

0:25:32.000 --> 0:25:34.639
<v Speaker 3>daughter happy, you got my wife happy.

0:25:34.760 --> 0:25:37.240
<v Speaker 5>Let's go checking a lot of boxes.

0:25:37.280 --> 0:25:39.000
<v Speaker 3>It's just saying it makes me happy.

0:25:39.000 --> 0:25:43.719
<v Speaker 4>Honestly, this has and that's good, that's important. But this

0:25:43.760 --> 0:25:45.800
<v Speaker 4>does have all the makings of them come back to

0:25:45.840 --> 0:25:48.320
<v Speaker 4>Earth game for the Rams. To me, it does like

0:25:48.400 --> 0:25:49.880
<v Speaker 4>we have go six under.

0:25:50.119 --> 0:25:53.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we've talked about Los Angeles and they're kind of

0:25:53.359 --> 0:25:56.480
<v Speaker 2>rebuilding their defense on a fly, and obviously a great

0:25:56.480 --> 0:25:59.280
<v Speaker 2>start against the Seahawks. But it's hard to tell Week ones,

0:25:59.280 --> 0:26:02.160
<v Speaker 2>A liar, this is a whole other type of test.

0:26:02.240 --> 0:26:02.680
<v Speaker 4>Now.

0:26:02.720 --> 0:26:06.119
<v Speaker 2>I know you're in your backyard here across the sidewalk,

0:26:06.400 --> 0:26:08.000
<v Speaker 2>but the forty nine ers are going to be coming

0:26:08.119 --> 0:26:11.159
<v Speaker 2>at this young team in waves, and they're gonna be

0:26:11.200 --> 0:26:15.000
<v Speaker 2>schemed up in an elite way by Kyle Shanahan. And

0:26:15.119 --> 0:26:17.520
<v Speaker 2>it would not surprise me if shannan has this young

0:26:17.560 --> 0:26:21.280
<v Speaker 2>defense's head spinning by the second quarter. I kind of

0:26:21.320 --> 0:26:25.159
<v Speaker 2>see it that way. Stafford obviously played brilliantly there. You

0:26:25.160 --> 0:26:27.080
<v Speaker 2>can make an argument that he was the best quarterback

0:26:27.080 --> 0:26:29.760
<v Speaker 2>in the league in Week one. Could he do that again?

0:26:31.480 --> 0:26:31.880
<v Speaker 4>Maybe?

0:26:32.800 --> 0:26:35.199
<v Speaker 3>What about the fact that it's Coogler and Sanchez? I

0:26:35.280 --> 0:26:37.680
<v Speaker 3>just love that. Maybe this is mister NFC West. Now,

0:26:37.720 --> 0:26:39.720
<v Speaker 3>it's like a kind of a frisky NFC West game.

0:26:39.840 --> 0:26:42.720
<v Speaker 4>It's sick California. Guy doesn't have to go far it

0:26:42.800 --> 0:26:44.600
<v Speaker 4>he doesn't want to leave. Yeah, it's no Sea kid.

0:26:45.600 --> 0:26:48.879
<v Speaker 5>I think I'm I'm with you, Dan, Like Sean McVay

0:26:49.160 --> 0:26:50.679
<v Speaker 5>showed how much of a difference he can make a

0:26:50.680 --> 0:26:53.240
<v Speaker 5>week ago and uh, the Seattle is a good team.

0:26:53.240 --> 0:26:54.760
<v Speaker 5>I still think we're gonna find out they are. So

0:26:54.800 --> 0:26:58.640
<v Speaker 5>that was a legitimate victory. But the Niners, I mean

0:26:58.920 --> 0:27:00.760
<v Speaker 5>talk about hitting the ground running and it's like.

0:27:00.760 --> 0:27:01.600
<v Speaker 3>Oh, you look good.

0:27:02.119 --> 0:27:04.720
<v Speaker 5>If you're no, I'm Joe Burrow. It's like, obviously he's

0:27:04.800 --> 0:27:06.639
<v Speaker 5>rusty because he didn't do X Y and Z in

0:27:06.680 --> 0:27:09.480
<v Speaker 5>the preseason. It's like, what did rock Perdy do? Rock

0:27:09.520 --> 0:27:11.600
<v Speaker 5>Perty shows up in Week one and he's like lights

0:27:11.600 --> 0:27:13.880
<v Speaker 5>out and exactly the guy he was a year ago,

0:27:14.119 --> 0:27:18.320
<v Speaker 5>totally efficient. I don't like that to me, Like, that's

0:27:18.359 --> 0:27:20.159
<v Speaker 5>gonna come with the territory a little bit. Brock Perty

0:27:20.320 --> 0:27:23.439
<v Speaker 5>as as like in terms of like where's the fall off?

0:27:23.480 --> 0:27:25.600
<v Speaker 5>It just wasn't there. And like Brandon Ayuk, you suddenly

0:27:25.640 --> 0:27:28.560
<v Speaker 5>have another superstar on this team. There's too many ways

0:27:28.600 --> 0:27:29.879
<v Speaker 5>to inflict damage.

0:27:29.960 --> 0:27:31.600
<v Speaker 3>What do you mean we'll see I've seen he looks.

0:27:31.800 --> 0:27:34.399
<v Speaker 3>He looks. It's been a year and a half of this.

0:27:34.600 --> 0:27:38.720
<v Speaker 3>He outgained Deebo Samuel for the second half of twenty

0:27:38.840 --> 0:27:40.320
<v Speaker 3>tell me of last year.

0:27:40.680 --> 0:27:44.160
<v Speaker 4>We're getting excited about it. Ayuk is not a superstar.

0:27:43.760 --> 0:27:45.679
<v Speaker 5>Lang Okay, Well, he is knocking on that door. But

0:27:46.000 --> 0:27:47.120
<v Speaker 5>now it being the way.

0:27:46.960 --> 0:27:50.399
<v Speaker 3>He was in Week one, he's so physical and he

0:27:50.480 --> 0:27:52.720
<v Speaker 3>can be do the subtle stuff. He's a little more

0:27:52.760 --> 0:27:54.879
<v Speaker 3>complete than Deebo. I think they're one in one A.

0:27:55.520 --> 0:27:57.879
<v Speaker 2>I love Auk, but we did the Superstar Club in

0:27:58.000 --> 0:28:00.480
<v Speaker 2>July and nobody said anything when I didn't have that's

0:28:00.240 --> 0:28:02.240
<v Speaker 2>but he needs I guess what I'm saying is he

0:28:02.240 --> 0:28:04.560
<v Speaker 2>needs to put it together for a long stretch and

0:28:04.640 --> 0:28:07.480
<v Speaker 2>remove that inconsistency from his game. And when I said

0:28:07.480 --> 0:28:09.800
<v Speaker 2>after watching the game last Sunday, is if he does that,

0:28:10.359 --> 0:28:13.359
<v Speaker 2>this becomes unfair because Deebo is gonna get his and

0:28:13.440 --> 0:28:16.320
<v Speaker 2>McCaffrey stays healthy, he's gonna eat you got George Kittle.

0:28:16.320 --> 0:28:19.200
<v Speaker 2>It's an embarrassment of riches for this young quarterback.

0:28:19.320 --> 0:28:20.800
<v Speaker 5>And I think it's like then that you get to

0:28:20.800 --> 0:28:23.760
<v Speaker 5>overlook their defense, which Steve Wilkes came in right away

0:28:23.800 --> 0:28:27.000
<v Speaker 5>and like there's no there's no problem there at all.

0:28:27.040 --> 0:28:30.160
<v Speaker 5>He's he's already a great coordinator. The Rams last week,

0:28:30.200 --> 0:28:32.680
<v Speaker 5>I know they I like that they refuse to stop

0:28:32.760 --> 0:28:34.600
<v Speaker 5>running the ball, but they ran for two point three

0:28:34.680 --> 0:28:37.199
<v Speaker 5>yards for Carrie. It's like, I just think if you,

0:28:37.880 --> 0:28:40.200
<v Speaker 5>this is gonna be a different situation for Matthew Stafford

0:28:40.440 --> 0:28:42.000
<v Speaker 5>and he's gonna be put into something and then it

0:28:42.040 --> 0:28:43.640
<v Speaker 5>will matter that you don't have Cooper Cup at some

0:28:43.640 --> 0:28:44.120
<v Speaker 5>point here.

0:28:44.400 --> 0:28:47.360
<v Speaker 3>Shout out to Kyraen Williams. He's like stealing cam Akers

0:28:47.440 --> 0:28:49.920
<v Speaker 3>sunshine and his draft picks and his snaps. He played

0:28:50.040 --> 0:28:51.120
<v Speaker 3>quite quite a bit more.

0:28:51.680 --> 0:28:52.120
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

0:28:52.240 --> 0:28:55.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, the one superstar like we haven't brought up for

0:28:55.120 --> 0:28:57.520
<v Speaker 3>the Fortnite I guess a couple is Bosa, but also

0:28:57.960 --> 0:29:02.320
<v Speaker 3>Fred Warner. And that's where Stafford won last week, deepen

0:29:02.400 --> 0:29:05.160
<v Speaker 3>over the middle, beating the Seahawks linebackers. You're not going

0:29:05.240 --> 0:29:07.440
<v Speaker 3>to be able to do that to Pookin Akua and

0:29:07.480 --> 0:29:10.360
<v Speaker 3>to well nearly as well against Fred Warner.

0:29:10.440 --> 0:29:13.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, what were your vibes because obviously one of the

0:29:13.440 --> 0:29:15.440
<v Speaker 2>most talked about names in the league and a lot

0:29:15.440 --> 0:29:19.240
<v Speaker 2>of ties into the immense popularity of fantasy football. But

0:29:19.320 --> 0:29:22.400
<v Speaker 2>Pooka and Akua, is that is that a type of

0:29:22.680 --> 0:29:25.920
<v Speaker 2>performance that's signifying that they have a real player there?

0:29:25.960 --> 0:29:27.960
<v Speaker 3>I think so? Yeah, I think so. I Mean he

0:29:28.080 --> 0:29:29.920
<v Speaker 3>might not be Cooper Cup, but he could be like

0:29:31.080 --> 0:29:32.840
<v Speaker 3>a really solid number two that.

0:29:32.920 --> 0:29:35.680
<v Speaker 2>Changes a lot. It does Cup can come back healthy.

0:29:35.760 --> 0:29:38.400
<v Speaker 2>If Cup. I'm worried about Cup in general. When when

0:29:38.400 --> 0:29:41.040
<v Speaker 2>you hear things like flying to Minnesota to see a

0:29:41.080 --> 0:29:44.240
<v Speaker 2>specialist about the hamstring and you've already aggravated it once,

0:29:44.280 --> 0:29:46.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm you start getting nervous about what's going to happen

0:29:46.760 --> 0:29:49.560
<v Speaker 2>with that. But if he can come back healthy and

0:29:49.600 --> 0:29:53.480
<v Speaker 2>they can establish for a poor here with Nikua, Okay.

0:29:53.320 --> 0:29:56.040
<v Speaker 3>They trust they're cooking. He's smart, tough, physical.

0:29:56.360 --> 0:30:01.480
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's take a break. Let's take a break,

0:30:01.760 --> 0:30:04.040
<v Speaker 2>and when we get back we continue with the draft.

0:30:05.840 --> 0:30:08.840
<v Speaker 2>All right, we are back. The draft rolls on, Mark Cecil,

0:30:08.920 --> 0:30:10.080
<v Speaker 2>your second pick, all.

0:30:10.040 --> 0:30:13.960
<v Speaker 5>Right, I'm gonna take the Chargers visiting Tennessee. Tennessee gets

0:30:13.960 --> 0:30:17.080
<v Speaker 5>three points, uh that, which kind of surprises me. I

0:30:17.080 --> 0:30:19.240
<v Speaker 5>I don't see these as equal teams, although I think

0:30:19.240 --> 0:30:21.880
<v Speaker 5>the Titans and Greg you Bert, you've been talking about.

0:30:21.640 --> 0:30:25.840
<v Speaker 3>This, they're home there. That's I'm going off of.

0:30:25.960 --> 0:30:28.200
<v Speaker 5>I'm going off of what I saw from Ryan Tannehill

0:30:28.240 --> 0:30:30.960
<v Speaker 5>a week ago. And now the Chargers, by the way,

0:30:31.080 --> 0:30:34.640
<v Speaker 5>like Brandon Staley at some point, he's not he's here.

0:30:34.760 --> 0:30:36.840
<v Speaker 4>Well that he was saying the way Mark's saying that,

0:30:36.920 --> 0:30:37.800
<v Speaker 4>it's like he gone.

0:30:37.840 --> 0:30:41.080
<v Speaker 5>I have been a Tannehill like fan for a long time,

0:30:41.120 --> 0:30:46.000
<v Speaker 5>and like Tanna Shill, sure she'll no, Tanna Stan Maybe

0:30:46.160 --> 0:30:50.200
<v Speaker 5>Tanner girl, Tanna girl. I like that that fits what

0:30:50.280 --> 0:30:52.360
<v Speaker 5>a disaster last week? Like, if that's what you're gonna get,

0:30:52.360 --> 0:30:54.120
<v Speaker 5>why are you how are they favored at all? How

0:30:54.200 --> 0:30:57.280
<v Speaker 5>they getting like like anything more than three points?

0:30:57.400 --> 0:30:59.560
<v Speaker 3>It's like, Okay, you wanted the Charges to be even bigger,

0:30:59.640 --> 0:31:01.040
<v Speaker 3>absolut Chargers.

0:31:01.960 --> 0:31:04.720
<v Speaker 5>No, but it's like there their offense. To me, I

0:31:05.440 --> 0:31:07.200
<v Speaker 5>this is an interesting matchup because I still think the

0:31:07.280 --> 0:31:10.440
<v Speaker 5>Titans are one of the best runs stopping teams in

0:31:10.520 --> 0:31:13.959
<v Speaker 5>the league, and this is a completely different Chargers offense

0:31:14.400 --> 0:31:15.880
<v Speaker 5>than what we've seen in the past. And they want

0:31:15.920 --> 0:31:17.840
<v Speaker 5>to they want to run the ball all day long.

0:31:17.960 --> 0:31:20.760
<v Speaker 5>And like Austin Ekeler did not practice Wednesdays.

0:31:24.720 --> 0:31:29.360
<v Speaker 3>No, he had was agent died, so but he's going

0:31:29.440 --> 0:31:31.000
<v Speaker 3>to be back with the team Thursday, but it was

0:31:31.120 --> 0:31:33.800
<v Speaker 3>unclear as we're taping whether he'll be able to practice,

0:31:33.800 --> 0:31:35.960
<v Speaker 3>so he is. He is dealing with an injury as well.

0:31:36.080 --> 0:31:38.600
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I tend to think he'd play, but Josh Kelly

0:31:38.640 --> 0:31:40.520
<v Speaker 5>looked like great too, and so I just think that

0:31:40.640 --> 0:31:43.520
<v Speaker 5>this this ground game gives me a lot of hope

0:31:43.680 --> 0:31:46.360
<v Speaker 5>for the fact that not everything has to fall on

0:31:46.480 --> 0:31:50.200
<v Speaker 5>the shoulders of Justin Herbert. I think that's healthy. I

0:31:50.280 --> 0:31:52.440
<v Speaker 5>just think this like a year ago, him having to

0:31:52.480 --> 0:31:54.680
<v Speaker 5>play hurt the whole time he did, he still made

0:31:54.720 --> 0:31:58.440
<v Speaker 5>some just absolutely like Herbert ish incredible throws last week.

0:31:58.520 --> 0:32:00.440
<v Speaker 5>They can do it all, but I like to see

0:32:00.440 --> 0:32:02.120
<v Speaker 5>I think this is a chance for the defense, even

0:32:02.160 --> 0:32:03.960
<v Speaker 5>if it's a bit of a mirage because of what

0:32:04.080 --> 0:32:08.840
<v Speaker 5>the Titans offense is, which is scarily like unimpressive. But

0:32:08.960 --> 0:32:10.760
<v Speaker 5>it's a get right game. If you're branding stilly because

0:32:10.760 --> 0:32:12.600
<v Speaker 5>I think you're on You're not on a hot seat,

0:32:12.680 --> 0:32:13.960
<v Speaker 5>but it's like I think it's like you were in

0:32:14.120 --> 0:32:18.960
<v Speaker 5>year three. Your calling card is dominating defense, and their

0:32:19.040 --> 0:32:20.520
<v Speaker 5>defense continually is a problem.

0:32:20.560 --> 0:32:22.440
<v Speaker 3>I got too much respect for the Titans to call

0:32:22.480 --> 0:32:24.160
<v Speaker 3>them a get right game against anyone. I mean, if

0:32:24.240 --> 0:32:26.440
<v Speaker 3>if Ryan Tanneil could hit the broad side of a

0:32:26.480 --> 0:32:29.520
<v Speaker 3>barn and they would be coming off a pretty weak one.

0:32:29.560 --> 0:32:31.760
<v Speaker 3>When to me, it's a great test. And one of

0:32:31.840 --> 0:32:34.040
<v Speaker 3>my preseason takes is gonna be looking bad because I

0:32:34.160 --> 0:32:36.000
<v Speaker 3>was high on both these teams. One of them is

0:32:36.000 --> 0:32:38.360
<v Speaker 3>gonna be going to It's a great test though for Staley.

0:32:38.400 --> 0:32:41.480
<v Speaker 3>It's like to me, it's like soft versus Like the

0:32:41.600 --> 0:32:43.400
<v Speaker 3>Chargers are kind of a soft team. You think about

0:32:43.440 --> 0:32:46.240
<v Speaker 3>them that way. Defensively certainly, okay, I mean, and they

0:32:46.280 --> 0:32:48.240
<v Speaker 3>haven't been able to run the ball well on offense

0:32:48.400 --> 0:32:51.239
<v Speaker 3>now have but this is like soft versus hard. I mean,

0:32:51.280 --> 0:32:53.520
<v Speaker 3>the Titans are hard. You know they're gonna they're gonna

0:32:53.640 --> 0:32:56.640
<v Speaker 3>stop you on the ground. Dan's making a faith. They

0:32:56.640 --> 0:32:58.400
<v Speaker 3>can't listen to this in the car when their dad

0:32:58.520 --> 0:33:01.280
<v Speaker 3>or mom or you're you're the weird one. You're the

0:33:01.320 --> 0:33:05.040
<v Speaker 3>weird one, Denktri arden Key, Jeffrey Simmons. If you can

0:33:05.160 --> 0:33:08.320
<v Speaker 3>run against this team, you can protect against this team

0:33:08.400 --> 0:33:11.480
<v Speaker 3>and play well offensively, That'll say That'll say a.

0:33:11.480 --> 0:33:13.880
<v Speaker 2>Lot to me, Like I know you and and other

0:33:13.960 --> 0:33:18.440
<v Speaker 2>people on Twitter pumping up the Chargers again this summer.

0:33:18.520 --> 0:33:19.800
<v Speaker 4>But I think they're in a bad spot.

0:33:20.320 --> 0:33:22.440
<v Speaker 3>I think they I think this game is I think

0:33:22.720 --> 0:33:23.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm worried.

0:33:23.280 --> 0:33:24.720
<v Speaker 4>They got their ass beat in Week one.

0:33:25.080 --> 0:33:27.240
<v Speaker 3>It was a two point game that they came up,

0:33:27.320 --> 0:33:28.480
<v Speaker 3>but they got beat.

0:33:28.640 --> 0:33:30.840
<v Speaker 2>And I know Herbert didn't play poorly, in fact, he

0:33:30.920 --> 0:33:33.680
<v Speaker 2>played well, but the best quarterback in that game was Tua.

0:33:33.800 --> 0:33:38.480
<v Speaker 4>And I don't know what makes Herbert's heart beat. I

0:33:38.520 --> 0:33:39.720
<v Speaker 4>don't know what pumps him up.

0:33:39.920 --> 0:33:41.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if he's one of those guys that

0:33:41.480 --> 0:33:43.479
<v Speaker 2>rises to the challenge and gets pissed off.

0:33:43.640 --> 0:33:44.960
<v Speaker 4>I kind of want him to be that guy. I

0:33:44.960 --> 0:33:46.760
<v Speaker 4>think that's sometimes the missing piece with Herbert.

0:33:46.840 --> 0:33:49.760
<v Speaker 2>Is he like a monster? Is he a monster inside?

0:33:50.000 --> 0:33:52.440
<v Speaker 2>Is he a competitor that says, you know what? Tua

0:33:52.600 --> 0:33:55.520
<v Speaker 2>just upstays me in my house in week one and

0:33:55.600 --> 0:33:56.000
<v Speaker 2>now I'm.

0:33:55.840 --> 0:33:56.240
<v Speaker 4>Gonna have it?

0:33:56.800 --> 0:33:59.920
<v Speaker 3>Five times he responded, yes.

0:34:00.120 --> 0:34:02.720
<v Speaker 4>Not anything in his career yet bag hold does not

0:34:02.840 --> 0:34:05.080
<v Speaker 4>act like he's done anything in his career yet, well

0:34:05.080 --> 0:34:05.400
<v Speaker 4>hold on.

0:34:05.440 --> 0:34:07.480
<v Speaker 5>I think like it's easy to forget that he didn't

0:34:07.480 --> 0:34:08.239
<v Speaker 5>say a single word.

0:34:08.520 --> 0:34:10.800
<v Speaker 4>I'm so sick of everybody putting justin Herbert in the

0:34:10.840 --> 0:34:11.239
<v Speaker 4>Hall of Fame.

0:34:11.280 --> 0:34:13.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm just gonna say, putting him in the hall like

0:34:13.440 --> 0:34:16.799
<v Speaker 2>he's above reproach to even challenge him, like he's never

0:34:16.920 --> 0:34:17.920
<v Speaker 2>won a playoff game.

0:34:18.360 --> 0:34:19.640
<v Speaker 4>Everybody plays hurt.

0:34:20.200 --> 0:34:21.080
<v Speaker 3>If winning playoffs.

0:34:22.520 --> 0:34:25.480
<v Speaker 4>Some of the genuflecting at Herbert is on my radar.

0:34:25.760 --> 0:34:28.279
<v Speaker 2>And and now I want him to this is what

0:34:28.400 --> 0:34:31.440
<v Speaker 2>I want from him, go kick the hell out of

0:34:31.480 --> 0:34:33.839
<v Speaker 2>the Titans because you're mad about what happened last week.

0:34:34.320 --> 0:34:35.200
<v Speaker 4>It's not gonna be easy.

0:34:35.440 --> 0:34:36.920
<v Speaker 2>And the reason I think this is a tough spot

0:34:37.080 --> 0:34:39.640
<v Speaker 2>is because I think Vrabel and the Titans, and I

0:34:39.680 --> 0:34:41.560
<v Speaker 2>don't think Tannehill is a bad player at this stage.

0:34:41.600 --> 0:34:43.719
<v Speaker 2>I think he's gonna be mad as well, and I

0:34:43.840 --> 0:34:46.040
<v Speaker 2>know he's a competitor and he's gonna be looking to

0:34:46.080 --> 0:34:49.320
<v Speaker 2>play better. This is gonna show me something if Herbert

0:34:49.400 --> 0:34:51.120
<v Speaker 2>and the Charges going there and take care of.

0:34:51.239 --> 0:34:54.640
<v Speaker 3>I hear they're supposed to think that's ridiculous about Herbert when.

0:34:54.719 --> 0:34:56.319
<v Speaker 4>I know it is because you're not allowed to say

0:34:56.400 --> 0:34:56.799
<v Speaker 4>that about it.

0:34:56.960 --> 0:34:59.680
<v Speaker 3>When he's playing through that injury that he did a

0:34:59.800 --> 0:35:01.960
<v Speaker 3>year ago and making the comeback place respect that that

0:35:02.080 --> 0:35:04.440
<v Speaker 3>Week eighteen game against the Raiders where he played as

0:35:04.480 --> 0:35:08.040
<v Speaker 3>well as humanly possible, and like multiple things can be true.

0:35:08.280 --> 0:35:12.520
<v Speaker 3>You can lose games where you play absolutely outstanding and

0:35:12.560 --> 0:35:14.760
<v Speaker 3>play your hearts out and play with the most guts possible.

0:35:14.840 --> 0:35:17.520
<v Speaker 3>If playoff wins was a great measurement in your first

0:35:17.560 --> 0:35:20.600
<v Speaker 3>three or four seasons of like how great a quarterback

0:35:20.719 --> 0:35:22.920
<v Speaker 3>like Peyton Manning was a total loser, you know what

0:35:23.000 --> 0:35:25.200
<v Speaker 3>I mean, Like, and we've seen that again and again,

0:35:25.600 --> 0:35:27.560
<v Speaker 3>and I think last week was a great example. He

0:35:28.000 --> 0:35:30.759
<v Speaker 3>gets any stops from his defense. Like you're talking about

0:35:30.760 --> 0:35:32.000
<v Speaker 3>what a great offensive performance.

0:35:32.040 --> 0:35:34.799
<v Speaker 2>Everything you said is right, and Manning did nothing as

0:35:34.840 --> 0:35:38.839
<v Speaker 2>a in terms of playoff success until almost the second

0:35:38.920 --> 0:35:41.759
<v Speaker 2>decade in the league. But I'm just saying, sometimes it

0:35:41.880 --> 0:35:43.680
<v Speaker 2>feels like we're not allowed to say bad things about

0:35:43.719 --> 0:35:44.239
<v Speaker 2>all right, And I.

0:35:44.239 --> 0:35:46.080
<v Speaker 5>Know you feel that way about Lamar Jackson and a

0:35:46.120 --> 0:35:47.800
<v Speaker 5>couple other guys too, And I get there's maybe some

0:35:47.920 --> 0:35:51.319
<v Speaker 5>exhaustion on your part, but nothing that Justin Herbert has

0:35:51.480 --> 0:35:52.680
<v Speaker 5>done on the field.

0:35:53.280 --> 0:35:56.040
<v Speaker 4>Like so I'm saying I'm spinning forward here. I'm saying, but.

0:35:56.480 --> 0:35:59.359
<v Speaker 5>Who's let's plain I think they will. First of all,

0:35:59.600 --> 0:36:02.800
<v Speaker 5>what's the strength I think outside of Justin Herbert, And

0:36:03.080 --> 0:36:05.160
<v Speaker 5>it's their offensive line. I know they fell apart and

0:36:05.360 --> 0:36:07.200
<v Speaker 5>against the pass rush like at the end of that

0:36:07.280 --> 0:36:09.600
<v Speaker 5>Dolphins game, but they can they this is an offensive

0:36:09.640 --> 0:36:12.520
<v Speaker 5>line that can neutralize the Titans. And I think in general,

0:36:12.920 --> 0:36:14.680
<v Speaker 5>like the Titans are not gonna be able to get

0:36:15.120 --> 0:36:16.840
<v Speaker 5>not gonna be able to get to Justin Herbert the

0:36:16.840 --> 0:36:20.839
<v Speaker 5>same way. I just I believe that her I think this, like, yeah, yeah,

0:36:20.840 --> 0:36:23.719
<v Speaker 5>but they're they actually are a good run game run team.

0:36:23.760 --> 0:36:25.320
<v Speaker 5>It's like, I think the balance of this team is

0:36:25.360 --> 0:36:28.160
<v Speaker 5>gonna take care of Tennessee. And like the Titans offense

0:36:28.239 --> 0:36:30.439
<v Speaker 5>and the Titans offensive line, You're not gonna have Joey

0:36:30.520 --> 0:36:32.560
<v Speaker 5>Bosa go totally silent like you did a week ago.

0:36:32.719 --> 0:36:35.239
<v Speaker 3>I just had practice though, but once again, Joey Bo's

0:36:35.280 --> 0:36:35.840
<v Speaker 3>out of practice.

0:36:35.960 --> 0:36:38.040
<v Speaker 5>I am kind of a little annoyed with the lack

0:36:38.120 --> 0:36:40.799
<v Speaker 5>of faith in the Chargers off again, Joe, I am

0:36:40.840 --> 0:36:43.600
<v Speaker 5>absolutely locking up the Chargers and they're gonna They're gonna

0:36:43.600 --> 0:36:45.879
<v Speaker 5>do what you want. They're gonna do what you want

0:36:45.920 --> 0:36:46.080
<v Speaker 5>to do.

0:36:46.200 --> 0:36:50.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because I really enjoy Herbert as an immensely physically

0:36:50.200 --> 0:36:51.120
<v Speaker 2>gifted quarterback.

0:36:51.760 --> 0:36:53.919
<v Speaker 4>Do I do have some questions, just as someone who's

0:36:53.960 --> 0:36:54.839
<v Speaker 4>watched sports for a long.

0:36:54.800 --> 0:36:58.120
<v Speaker 3>Time, like the fire burn within, Like I guess you'd say,

0:36:58.239 --> 0:37:00.960
<v Speaker 3>like what he's done, and I I know stats are

0:37:01.000 --> 0:37:04.400
<v Speaker 3>in everything, but I do think like almost fifteen thousand

0:37:04.480 --> 0:37:07.400
<v Speaker 3>yards and ninety touchdowns in the first three seasons of

0:37:07.440 --> 0:37:10.799
<v Speaker 3>your NFL career is something like that's a big time.

0:37:10.800 --> 0:37:12.480
<v Speaker 5>I'm not saying it's not I don't see like a

0:37:12.680 --> 0:37:15.560
<v Speaker 5>hushed personality where he maybe doesn't care about football. I

0:37:15.640 --> 0:37:17.320
<v Speaker 5>kind of say it didn't care, I know, but I

0:37:17.440 --> 0:37:19.160
<v Speaker 5>sort of see. I do see a fire, and I

0:37:19.239 --> 0:37:21.000
<v Speaker 5>really think that last year, like what he went through,

0:37:21.040 --> 0:37:23.239
<v Speaker 5>and he just kind of refusing to give in or

0:37:23.280 --> 0:37:25.080
<v Speaker 5>give up or leave the game. It's like there that

0:37:25.239 --> 0:37:26.800
<v Speaker 5>tells me something. Though, there are a lot of players

0:37:26.880 --> 0:37:27.239
<v Speaker 5>not like that.

0:37:27.440 --> 0:37:30.319
<v Speaker 3>Five fourth quarter comebacks twenty twenty one, four fourth quarter

0:37:30.440 --> 0:37:33.440
<v Speaker 3>comebacks twenty twenty two. He's He's been putting some tough spots.

0:37:33.600 --> 0:37:37.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm frustrated though. Certainly, if Brandon Staley's defense is as

0:37:37.560 --> 0:37:40.439
<v Speaker 3>bad as it looked, then it's just gonna be more

0:37:40.520 --> 0:37:42.880
<v Speaker 3>charges drama and Brandon Staley won't be back like no

0:37:43.000 --> 0:37:45.680
<v Speaker 3>matter what Herbert does, they got to have a much

0:37:45.719 --> 0:37:46.280
<v Speaker 3>better defense.

0:37:46.360 --> 0:37:49.440
<v Speaker 5>I put him in that most heated category of coaches

0:37:49.600 --> 0:37:51.759
<v Speaker 5>before the season, and I think they could play out good.

0:37:52.640 --> 0:37:53.400
<v Speaker 4>You know what, I want it?

0:37:53.719 --> 0:37:55.799
<v Speaker 5>I want it, you want I want you to get

0:37:55.840 --> 0:37:57.000
<v Speaker 5>your lock, okay, and.

0:37:57.080 --> 0:38:00.279
<v Speaker 4>I want Herbert to just ball out against and just

0:38:00.400 --> 0:38:03.799
<v Speaker 4>make Vabel like grovel in that postgame presser. I think

0:38:03.840 --> 0:38:05.839
<v Speaker 4>we're gonna just got beat by a great quarterback who

0:38:06.440 --> 0:38:10.239
<v Speaker 4>who was upset that the that Tua upstaged him in

0:38:10.320 --> 0:38:13.120
<v Speaker 4>his building and made the throws that I I didn't

0:38:13.200 --> 0:38:17.000
<v Speaker 4>down the stretch, And you know it's it was time

0:38:17.040 --> 0:38:19.360
<v Speaker 4>for me to drop a bomb on whoever I was

0:38:19.400 --> 0:38:21.520
<v Speaker 4>playing next, And that's what I did. That's what I

0:38:21.560 --> 0:38:22.319
<v Speaker 4>want Herbert to say.

0:38:22.520 --> 0:38:24.520
<v Speaker 5>That would be a typical of his personality.

0:38:24.520 --> 0:38:28.040
<v Speaker 4>I don't you know that that's asking too much? See,

0:38:28.080 --> 0:38:29.839
<v Speaker 4>but this isn't the game more fun to think about?

0:38:29.920 --> 0:38:30.040
<v Speaker 1>Now?

0:38:30.760 --> 0:38:30.960
<v Speaker 3>Sure?

0:38:31.560 --> 0:38:33.880
<v Speaker 4>Even if you totally disagree with everything I just said.

0:38:34.440 --> 0:38:37.880
<v Speaker 3>Well, no, I watched like another like tension point between

0:38:38.320 --> 0:38:39.880
<v Speaker 3>like and I don't think he's going to try harder

0:38:39.960 --> 0:38:42.080
<v Speaker 3>this week because Tua played well. I think he's trying

0:38:42.160 --> 0:38:42.640
<v Speaker 3>his hardest.

0:38:44.080 --> 0:38:47.160
<v Speaker 4>See. That's the type of cold bloodless analysis that I'm not.

0:38:47.600 --> 0:38:51.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying, uh, you know, let's diffuse someone having

0:38:51.120 --> 0:38:53.279
<v Speaker 2>any passion in their takes by saying, oh, I guess

0:38:53.320 --> 0:38:54.120
<v Speaker 2>he's gonna try hard.

0:38:54.360 --> 0:38:56.480
<v Speaker 3>I just disagreeing I think he is. Like, that's not

0:38:56.600 --> 0:38:58.560
<v Speaker 3>what I'm saying. I'm putting every I think he's putting

0:38:58.600 --> 0:38:59.600
<v Speaker 3>everything into his.

0:38:59.680 --> 0:39:04.399
<v Speaker 4>Perform says he will try just as hard.

0:39:04.840 --> 0:39:08.360
<v Speaker 5>I know you want to see some heats, so I

0:39:08.600 --> 0:39:08.759
<v Speaker 5>like it.

0:39:08.840 --> 0:39:11.839
<v Speaker 3>That was a fiery lock. Thank you Mark, Thank you Mark.

0:39:11.920 --> 0:39:14.239
<v Speaker 3>After our well, you're welcome somewhat cheepish locks.

0:39:14.640 --> 0:39:18.399
<v Speaker 4>All right, let's uh, let's move to Oh it's back

0:39:18.440 --> 0:39:18.640
<v Speaker 4>to me.

0:39:18.920 --> 0:39:22.279
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's head to jeral World and uh, I

0:39:22.400 --> 0:39:26.600
<v Speaker 2>know I kind of Here is where I'm at Jets

0:39:26.680 --> 0:39:29.200
<v Speaker 2>with Zach Wilson as the quarterback, going to Dallas to

0:39:29.239 --> 0:39:33.040
<v Speaker 2>face the Great Parsons, and it is.

0:39:33.080 --> 0:39:34.560
<v Speaker 4>The biggest spread of the week.

0:39:35.280 --> 0:39:37.200
<v Speaker 2>The Cowboys are laying nine and a half points here,

0:39:38.480 --> 0:39:40.800
<v Speaker 2>and it's it's just a reminder of what a bummer

0:39:41.040 --> 0:39:44.479
<v Speaker 2>of it. It is not just for sad sack Jets

0:39:44.520 --> 0:39:46.520
<v Speaker 2>fans like myself, but for everybody, cause this was gonna

0:39:46.520 --> 0:39:49.440
<v Speaker 2>be a fun Rogers and the Jets going to Dallas.

0:39:49.480 --> 0:39:51.520
<v Speaker 3>It's a bummer for Danson Romo. It's a bummer for

0:39:51.560 --> 0:39:52.000
<v Speaker 3>a killer.

0:39:52.320 --> 0:39:53.000
<v Speaker 4>It's a killer.

0:39:53.160 --> 0:39:54.839
<v Speaker 3>They actually made it so that this was the only

0:39:54.920 --> 0:39:57.200
<v Speaker 3>good afternoon game so that everyone would watch it.

0:39:57.280 --> 0:40:00.120
<v Speaker 2>We all get killed by it, and it's you know,

0:40:00.239 --> 0:40:03.120
<v Speaker 2>more personal to others. But yeah, it's a bummer. And

0:40:03.200 --> 0:40:07.240
<v Speaker 2>here here's here's the thing, because there is a there's

0:40:07.280 --> 0:40:10.279
<v Speaker 2>a sense here among the more optimistic of Jets fans

0:40:10.320 --> 0:40:12.560
<v Speaker 2>that there's still something here, there's still something to play for,

0:40:13.120 --> 0:40:15.680
<v Speaker 2>that the defense could be special in the running game,

0:40:15.760 --> 0:40:18.080
<v Speaker 2>what we saw from Breese Hall, they can move the

0:40:18.160 --> 0:40:19.880
<v Speaker 2>ball on the ground. And if you could just build

0:40:19.920 --> 0:40:22.239
<v Speaker 2>a team like that, kind of in a ground and

0:40:22.360 --> 0:40:26.520
<v Speaker 2>pound old school Rex way, and get the quarterback coached

0:40:26.600 --> 0:40:29.200
<v Speaker 2>up just so he doesn't kill you, maybe you could

0:40:29.239 --> 0:40:33.120
<v Speaker 2>still make noise in an AFC that maybe is more

0:40:33.160 --> 0:40:36.120
<v Speaker 2>wide open than we realize. And Okay, I get that.

0:40:36.560 --> 0:40:39.080
<v Speaker 2>All that said, I hate this matchup for the Jets.

0:40:39.120 --> 0:40:41.920
<v Speaker 2>I hate Zach Wilson. And I know there was some

0:40:42.000 --> 0:40:45.640
<v Speaker 2>criticism about how the play calling down the stretch where

0:40:45.840 --> 0:40:48.680
<v Speaker 2>the Jets were playing for three points. They wouldn't even

0:40:48.760 --> 0:40:52.840
<v Speaker 2>let Wilson throw, yes, and because Wilson has struggled so

0:40:53.000 --> 0:40:53.520
<v Speaker 2>much as a pro.

0:40:53.719 --> 0:40:57.439
<v Speaker 4>But also I think Wilson was getting killed in that game.

0:40:57.760 --> 0:41:01.239
<v Speaker 2>And that was a very difficult spot with everything that

0:41:01.400 --> 0:41:03.520
<v Speaker 2>happened in that game, with Aaron Rodgers coming on the

0:41:03.560 --> 0:41:06.640
<v Speaker 2>field the way he did, and everyone thinking, all right,

0:41:06.719 --> 0:41:08.120
<v Speaker 2>this is Rogers' team, and all of.

0:41:08.080 --> 0:41:09.399
<v Speaker 4>A sudden, you're in the game.

0:41:09.800 --> 0:41:13.200
<v Speaker 2>Here's the playbook, here's the biggest audience in the history

0:41:13.200 --> 0:41:15.200
<v Speaker 2>of Metlie said him in the biggest Monday night football

0:41:15.200 --> 0:41:18.799
<v Speaker 2>audience ever, saved the day and overall he didn't lose

0:41:18.880 --> 0:41:21.680
<v Speaker 2>the game. Okay, So will they open up the playbook

0:41:21.840 --> 0:41:23.960
<v Speaker 2>just a little bit, maybe, But here's the problem.

0:41:24.040 --> 0:41:26.960
<v Speaker 4>I think the Cowboys are going to eat him alive

0:41:27.000 --> 0:41:27.879
<v Speaker 4>in this game. Yeah.

0:41:27.960 --> 0:41:31.000
<v Speaker 2>And I just my feeling here is that as a

0:41:31.120 --> 0:41:32.959
<v Speaker 2>Jet fan, there's gonna be a lot of Jet fans

0:41:33.000 --> 0:41:35.640
<v Speaker 2>that have pumped themselves up thinking we're gonna get right

0:41:35.719 --> 0:41:38.680
<v Speaker 2>here and we're gonna stabilize things and be optimistic. But

0:41:38.719 --> 0:41:40.080
<v Speaker 2>I think this is a game we're gonna come out

0:41:40.080 --> 0:41:43.239
<v Speaker 2>of and feel like reality is set in and the

0:41:43.320 --> 0:41:45.520
<v Speaker 2>limits at quarterback are really going to be shown in

0:41:45.560 --> 0:41:45.879
<v Speaker 2>this game.

0:41:45.960 --> 0:41:49.080
<v Speaker 5>Why are we in this situation? I mean, the first

0:41:49.120 --> 0:41:51.160
<v Speaker 5>couple of plays right out of the game where Aaron

0:41:51.239 --> 0:41:55.239
<v Speaker 5>Rodgers injured because the offensive line looked totally incompetent, and

0:41:55.320 --> 0:41:58.799
<v Speaker 5>now you're going against a Cowboys team that absolutely dismantled

0:41:58.840 --> 0:42:05.480
<v Speaker 5>the Giants five force fumbles, two picks, seven sacks. Well, quarterback,

0:42:05.600 --> 0:42:08.960
<v Speaker 5>but even if you cut all those numbers in half,

0:42:09.280 --> 0:42:11.120
<v Speaker 5>you've still done a lot of work against the Giants

0:42:11.160 --> 0:42:13.120
<v Speaker 5>and I just don't like the matchups. Like to your point,

0:42:13.200 --> 0:42:16.480
<v Speaker 5>Dan of that line against one of the nastiest defenses

0:42:16.520 --> 0:42:18.480
<v Speaker 5>in the league and a quarterback that, like, I'm not

0:42:18.520 --> 0:42:20.000
<v Speaker 5>trying to jump on this. They should have gotten a

0:42:20.040 --> 0:42:22.640
<v Speaker 5>different backup. Maybe they should have, but he just looks.

0:42:23.040 --> 0:42:25.960
<v Speaker 5>He still just seems to me lost, and it's like,

0:42:26.120 --> 0:42:29.760
<v Speaker 5>you're gonna have to be creative, resourceful and know exactly

0:42:29.840 --> 0:42:32.160
<v Speaker 5>what you're doing to have any sort of advantage over

0:42:32.160 --> 0:42:34.120
<v Speaker 5>the Dallas defense as a quarterback, and I just don't

0:42:34.120 --> 0:42:34.960
<v Speaker 5>see that player right now.

0:42:35.160 --> 0:42:37.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, the game was too fast for him and it

0:42:37.360 --> 0:42:40.319
<v Speaker 3>was a really tough spot, but we've seen players come

0:42:40.360 --> 0:42:43.080
<v Speaker 3>in off the bench and perform well a Brock Purty

0:42:43.160 --> 0:42:46.799
<v Speaker 3>type or whatever. Look things happen. I mean, Aaron Rodgers's

0:42:47.120 --> 0:42:49.799
<v Speaker 3>two snaps were disastrous. The game kind of came fast

0:42:49.840 --> 0:42:53.279
<v Speaker 3>at him and those plays just didn't work out. I'm

0:42:53.360 --> 0:42:55.560
<v Speaker 3>not really thinking the offense has much to do with

0:42:55.840 --> 0:42:58.759
<v Speaker 3>the Jets at this point. Like Brice Hall is a

0:42:58.880 --> 0:43:02.719
<v Speaker 3>special player, the fact that he can make cuts while

0:43:02.800 --> 0:43:06.920
<v Speaker 3>moving forward so fluidly and make a difference. And you

0:43:07.040 --> 0:43:09.719
<v Speaker 3>have Garrett Wilson, we know he's a special player. And

0:43:10.000 --> 0:43:11.920
<v Speaker 3>if you can just get enough to just be like

0:43:12.040 --> 0:43:15.880
<v Speaker 3>the twenty fourth offense in the league, then you just

0:43:15.960 --> 0:43:19.399
<v Speaker 3>need this defense to be next level special and make

0:43:19.480 --> 0:43:21.800
<v Speaker 3>these games fun. If you look at the season like

0:43:21.960 --> 0:43:24.799
<v Speaker 3>it's only gonna matter if you win a Super Bowl,

0:43:25.040 --> 0:43:27.839
<v Speaker 3>Yeah like that, then it doesn't matter for thirty one

0:43:28.080 --> 0:43:31.120
<v Speaker 3>teams every year. If it's just gonna be more about

0:43:31.120 --> 0:43:32.719
<v Speaker 3>the experience a long way and we could have some

0:43:32.840 --> 0:43:35.040
<v Speaker 3>fun along the way. I think they have a chance

0:43:35.120 --> 0:43:36.520
<v Speaker 3>to do that. I think they have a chance to

0:43:36.600 --> 0:43:39.759
<v Speaker 3>make the playoffs certainly, but their defense has to be

0:43:39.840 --> 0:43:43.160
<v Speaker 3>special special. Sace Gartner's coming off a bad game for

0:43:43.280 --> 0:43:46.600
<v Speaker 3>Sasgartner relatively. He had to go against Stefan Diggs, but

0:43:47.400 --> 0:43:49.359
<v Speaker 3>we didn't see that happened to him last year too much.

0:43:49.400 --> 0:43:51.080
<v Speaker 3>Now he has to go against Ceedee Lamb, who they'll

0:43:51.120 --> 0:43:53.000
<v Speaker 3>move around a lot, And it's just like, can they

0:43:53.120 --> 0:43:55.160
<v Speaker 3>just shut down the Cowboys offense who had a weird

0:43:55.200 --> 0:43:57.280
<v Speaker 3>week one where they didn't really have to do anything.

0:43:57.640 --> 0:44:01.399
<v Speaker 3>Can they just keep Dallas under twenty essentially because Dallas

0:44:01.440 --> 0:44:03.279
<v Speaker 3>only at two hundred and sixty five yards last week.

0:44:03.640 --> 0:44:05.560
<v Speaker 3>Dak was just throwing it within like two seconds. He

0:44:05.600 --> 0:44:08.800
<v Speaker 3>didn't need to do anything. So can can they truly

0:44:08.960 --> 0:44:11.239
<v Speaker 3>disrupt another team to the point where they're in every

0:44:11.320 --> 0:44:12.240
<v Speaker 3>game because of that defense.

0:44:12.360 --> 0:44:15.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Josh Allen and Dak Prescott are and a similar

0:44:15.800 --> 0:44:18.160
<v Speaker 2>QB tier for me. Maybe Alan's a little bit ahead,

0:44:18.160 --> 0:44:20.440
<v Speaker 2>but they're also what are the defects in their games?

0:44:20.719 --> 0:44:23.439
<v Speaker 2>They will turn the ball over the Jets to hang

0:44:23.520 --> 0:44:26.400
<v Speaker 2>in this game. What's what's the path to success? You

0:44:26.520 --> 0:44:29.200
<v Speaker 2>turn Prescott over a couple of times, maybe you have

0:44:29.280 --> 0:44:32.359
<v Speaker 2>another special teams play and you keep this a low

0:44:32.440 --> 0:44:36.600
<v Speaker 2>scoring game, and maybe Breese Haall breaks one. You need

0:44:36.680 --> 0:44:40.280
<v Speaker 2>this to be a low scoring affair, where again defense

0:44:40.320 --> 0:44:44.120
<v Speaker 2>and special teams plays a major role. There is Listen,

0:44:44.239 --> 0:44:47.279
<v Speaker 2>I am a realist. I understand I'm no longer rooting

0:44:47.320 --> 0:44:50.160
<v Speaker 2>for a team that has serious Super Bowl aspirations, But

0:44:50.239 --> 0:44:52.360
<v Speaker 2>I also think there is absolutely a path to this

0:44:52.480 --> 0:44:56.239
<v Speaker 2>team contending. If the defense is as good as it

0:44:56.320 --> 0:44:59.279
<v Speaker 2>has the potential to be, and if they hang in

0:44:59.360 --> 0:45:01.640
<v Speaker 2>this game, and even if they don't win, but they hang,

0:45:02.000 --> 0:45:04.040
<v Speaker 2>you're feeling really good about it. The only thing that

0:45:04.160 --> 0:45:07.640
<v Speaker 2>you worry about is a bloodbath for Wilson, because then

0:45:07.680 --> 0:45:08.920
<v Speaker 2>that's going to take a lot of air out of

0:45:08.960 --> 0:45:10.880
<v Speaker 2>that locker room as well. And I think the biggest

0:45:10.960 --> 0:45:14.520
<v Speaker 2>challenge Sala has right now you're floating off, there's a

0:45:14.719 --> 0:45:17.040
<v Speaker 2>stomach punch of Rogers, and then you have this incredible

0:45:17.080 --> 0:45:21.160
<v Speaker 2>comeback that shows how gutsy the team is. But if

0:45:21.200 --> 0:45:25.960
<v Speaker 2>Wilson really snows under in this game killing reality, it's

0:45:26.000 --> 0:45:26.560
<v Speaker 2>gonna set.

0:45:26.640 --> 0:45:30.120
<v Speaker 3>The opposite of Jordan Love having these two like non

0:45:30.239 --> 0:45:32.759
<v Speaker 3>pass rushing teams to have to play the Cowboys right

0:45:32.800 --> 0:45:34.799
<v Speaker 3>off the bat, and then Belichick next week is just.

0:45:34.880 --> 0:45:37.560
<v Speaker 5>Well, and he's and and you know, there's a realistic

0:45:38.360 --> 0:45:40.440
<v Speaker 5>reality here that he is not a good player on

0:45:40.520 --> 0:45:42.239
<v Speaker 5>any level. It's like, I think it's important he got

0:45:42.280 --> 0:45:45.040
<v Speaker 5>that Garrett Wilson touchdown a week GOP because Garrett Wilson

0:45:45.360 --> 0:45:47.480
<v Speaker 5>like is the guy that kind of embodies the fact

0:45:47.480 --> 0:45:49.959
<v Speaker 5>that when Aaron Rodgers came, Garrett Wilson's like, my career

0:45:50.080 --> 0:45:52.520
<v Speaker 5>is back on track. It's like Zach Wilson could lose

0:45:52.560 --> 0:45:55.160
<v Speaker 5>the locker room quickly if everyone starts to become a

0:45:55.239 --> 0:45:56.920
<v Speaker 5>non factor in the passing game like it happened a

0:45:57.000 --> 0:45:58.680
<v Speaker 5>year ago. It's like, I do wonder if this Jets

0:45:58.719 --> 0:46:02.200
<v Speaker 5>team because I think there is hope the defense is supreme,

0:46:02.520 --> 0:46:05.480
<v Speaker 5>Like you've got stars at running back, a star wide receiver,

0:46:05.960 --> 0:46:07.680
<v Speaker 5>like you've got good tight end play. Do you go

0:46:07.800 --> 0:46:08.960
<v Speaker 5>and get a different quarterback?

0:46:09.120 --> 0:46:10.440
<v Speaker 4>I know?

0:46:10.560 --> 0:46:12.360
<v Speaker 5>But it's like I think it's like, if you're the Jets,

0:46:12.880 --> 0:46:16.120
<v Speaker 5>the coddling of Zach Wilson is over. It's like it's

0:46:16.120 --> 0:46:17.640
<v Speaker 5>saying it's his team and all this stuff?

0:46:17.840 --> 0:46:18.840
<v Speaker 3>Is it not?

0:46:18.960 --> 0:46:20.000
<v Speaker 5>If they get destroyed in.

0:46:19.960 --> 0:46:22.480
<v Speaker 3>As It's tough because he might be the very two

0:46:22.560 --> 0:46:24.480
<v Speaker 3>best defense in the league. If I mean, I throw

0:46:24.480 --> 0:46:25.000
<v Speaker 3>the forty nine.

0:46:25.040 --> 0:46:27.360
<v Speaker 5>But we have a larger sample size on Zach Wilson

0:46:27.400 --> 0:46:28.520
<v Speaker 5>than this last week.

0:46:28.560 --> 0:46:30.520
<v Speaker 2>In this don't do the thing that I saw for

0:46:30.719 --> 0:46:32.439
<v Speaker 2>most of the Bills game where you won't even throw

0:46:32.480 --> 0:46:34.440
<v Speaker 2>the ball three yards past Lina scratch.

0:46:34.480 --> 0:46:35.160
<v Speaker 4>What do you have to lose?

0:46:35.280 --> 0:46:38.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, just air it out, force the ball into Garret Willson.

0:46:38.200 --> 0:46:42.000
<v Speaker 2>Let's just see maybe something crazy happens. How about check

0:46:42.040 --> 0:46:44.440
<v Speaker 2>in from Eric Roberts, our producer in the Bills cap.

0:46:44.560 --> 0:46:46.839
<v Speaker 7>Hey, guys, we have somebody else who wants to weigh

0:46:46.880 --> 0:46:47.239
<v Speaker 7>in on this.

0:46:47.440 --> 0:46:48.120
<v Speaker 4>Jets Cowboys?

0:46:48.360 --> 0:46:48.919
<v Speaker 7>Yere yes?

0:46:49.520 --> 0:46:50.120
<v Speaker 4>What could that be?

0:46:51.280 --> 0:46:55.960
<v Speaker 6>Hello, gentlemen? Oh, tough loss after week one? I don't

0:46:55.960 --> 0:46:57.800
<v Speaker 6>know what I was thinking the picking the Chargers. Of

0:46:57.840 --> 0:47:02.200
<v Speaker 6>course they're gonna go Charger in. That's okay. Right now,

0:47:02.360 --> 0:47:05.799
<v Speaker 6>Greg's thinking, man, Nick, you can't lock this game up.

0:47:05.840 --> 0:47:10.879
<v Speaker 6>It's it's Cowboys are nine point favorites. Well, I don't

0:47:10.880 --> 0:47:12.919
<v Speaker 6>look at the Desert Test. I look at the mer test.

0:47:14.160 --> 0:47:18.520
<v Speaker 6>I'm fine looking into the mirror. Right now, everybody's thinking,

0:47:18.880 --> 0:47:23.160
<v Speaker 6>Daniel Jones got beat down by the Cowboys. The Cowboys

0:47:23.239 --> 0:47:26.960
<v Speaker 6>defense is unstoppable. Their offense is good enough. The Jets

0:47:27.880 --> 0:47:32.640
<v Speaker 6>Aaron Aaron Rodgers. They're injured, they're battered. No way they

0:47:32.680 --> 0:47:35.560
<v Speaker 6>show up and beat win in Dallas. I know there's

0:47:35.600 --> 0:47:40.960
<v Speaker 6>a damn good team. This Jets team is good, real good. Hans,

0:47:41.040 --> 0:47:45.280
<v Speaker 6>is this one's for you? The Jets go into Dallas

0:47:45.719 --> 0:47:48.439
<v Speaker 6>handle business. I told you the Bills and the Chiefs

0:47:48.480 --> 0:47:50.520
<v Speaker 6>weren't making the playoffs this year. Someone's got to go.

0:47:51.200 --> 0:47:52.200
<v Speaker 4>It's gonna be the Jets.

0:47:52.600 --> 0:47:55.879
<v Speaker 6>They started out too and zero. Lock that up.

0:47:59.480 --> 0:48:00.920
<v Speaker 5>Total. I'm a Cozi mission.

0:48:01.239 --> 0:48:04.320
<v Speaker 4>There are boys in this world, and there are men.

0:48:04.560 --> 0:48:06.560
<v Speaker 5>And there are psychotic men, or there are little bit

0:48:07.239 --> 0:48:09.719
<v Speaker 5>like lost the first week and he's like, okay, now

0:48:09.760 --> 0:48:12.120
<v Speaker 5>I'm just gonna like not even seem like I'm trying.

0:48:12.239 --> 0:48:15.080
<v Speaker 5>Come on, hey, if he gets this right, like, no

0:48:15.200 --> 0:48:16.120
<v Speaker 5>one will ever forget it.

0:48:16.960 --> 0:48:17.479
<v Speaker 4>That was great.

0:48:19.680 --> 0:48:23.560
<v Speaker 3>Everyone check out the YouTube because Nick is looking good

0:48:23.800 --> 0:48:24.880
<v Speaker 3>looking like a businessman.

0:48:25.680 --> 0:48:29.600
<v Speaker 5>He is part you trust your business to someone who

0:48:29.840 --> 0:48:31.239
<v Speaker 5>just locked the jets. I don't know about that.

0:48:31.920 --> 0:48:34.600
<v Speaker 4>It shows a man that has a bold take on

0:48:35.600 --> 0:48:36.360
<v Speaker 4>business affairs.

0:48:36.400 --> 0:48:40.680
<v Speaker 3>To me, uh, it's gonna be remembered as maybe the

0:48:40.719 --> 0:48:42.040
<v Speaker 3>best lock of all time.

0:48:42.120 --> 0:48:45.839
<v Speaker 2>If that's so, that's you know what that is. That's

0:48:45.920 --> 0:48:49.960
<v Speaker 2>called hanging onions. You could say it's crazy, Maybe it is.

0:48:50.200 --> 0:48:51.680
<v Speaker 5>Did he confer with the rest of the.

0:48:53.600 --> 0:48:55.040
<v Speaker 2>So I can let me just a little. I'll take

0:48:55.080 --> 0:48:58.400
<v Speaker 2>him behind the curtain a little bit. The Westling brothers

0:48:58.480 --> 0:49:02.320
<v Speaker 2>have mostly opted out out of the X, but sometimes

0:49:02.360 --> 0:49:04.600
<v Speaker 2>I guess they have conversations. But it's really Nick's ship

0:49:04.680 --> 0:49:07.440
<v Speaker 2>now sure, And I would imagine there's no way in

0:49:07.560 --> 0:49:10.320
<v Speaker 2>hell he would have had someone to back him on

0:49:10.400 --> 0:49:13.120
<v Speaker 2>that at the Zoo. So this is this feels like

0:49:13.480 --> 0:49:15.279
<v Speaker 2>pure because Nick did check in with me one of

0:49:15.320 --> 0:49:17.359
<v Speaker 2>the many people that did, and said that he really

0:49:17.400 --> 0:49:18.480
<v Speaker 2>does like these jets.

0:49:18.760 --> 0:49:21.799
<v Speaker 4>So it's coming from an authentic place. Okay, all right,

0:49:22.280 --> 0:49:25.600
<v Speaker 4>up next is me and I will take I like

0:49:25.719 --> 0:49:26.160
<v Speaker 4>this game.

0:49:27.520 --> 0:49:30.719
<v Speaker 2>Speaking of Eric Roberts, jump back on a second, the

0:49:31.040 --> 0:49:35.239
<v Speaker 2>Las Vegas Raiders traveling to Orchard Park to face the

0:49:35.280 --> 0:49:37.040
<v Speaker 2>Buffalo Bills eight and a half points.

0:49:37.400 --> 0:49:41.480
<v Speaker 4>The Bills are given in this one, Eric everything.

0:49:41.600 --> 0:49:45.920
<v Speaker 2>Obviously, the story coming out of Monday Night was the

0:49:46.080 --> 0:49:51.640
<v Speaker 2>Rogers injury, but a very very big overall league storyline

0:49:51.880 --> 0:49:54.840
<v Speaker 2>was this terrible performance by Josh Allen, who gave that

0:49:55.360 --> 0:49:59.080
<v Speaker 2>game way as a Bills fan, one to ten peace

0:49:59.120 --> 0:50:02.799
<v Speaker 2>scale one underpants to totally dry and no problem at all.

0:50:02.840 --> 0:50:06.240
<v Speaker 2>You can go anyway you want ten soaked to the bone,

0:50:06.719 --> 0:50:09.239
<v Speaker 2>gotta get home, gotta change the underpants. And it's not

0:50:09.320 --> 0:50:11.160
<v Speaker 2>even like you don't throw them in the hamper. It's

0:50:11.200 --> 0:50:15.480
<v Speaker 2>a wrap that you throw the how you underpants? What's

0:50:15.480 --> 0:50:15.959
<v Speaker 2>the peace scale?

0:50:16.400 --> 0:50:19.719
<v Speaker 7>I'm not like a five a little damn little little

0:50:19.760 --> 0:50:21.640
<v Speaker 7>damp if you have, like probably pushing eight.

0:50:21.640 --> 0:50:23.879
<v Speaker 2>A little bit of an odor from not right next

0:50:23.920 --> 0:50:26.080
<v Speaker 2>to you, like not from five feet away, but you

0:50:26.200 --> 0:50:27.160
<v Speaker 2>get close.

0:50:27.080 --> 0:50:29.480
<v Speaker 7>Comfortable sitting next to Christy right now, if you know

0:50:29.520 --> 0:50:29.960
<v Speaker 7>it'd be like.

0:50:29.960 --> 0:50:32.239
<v Speaker 4>At a five like that. Don't drag me into your

0:50:32.400 --> 0:50:33.080
<v Speaker 4>urine stories.

0:50:33.160 --> 0:50:33.960
<v Speaker 5>There's a musk to that.

0:50:34.440 --> 0:50:35.200
<v Speaker 4>Urine underpants.

0:50:35.200 --> 0:50:38.040
<v Speaker 7>But if they lose to the Raiders and Josh Allen

0:50:38.160 --> 0:50:41.360
<v Speaker 7>kind of has another another another whoopsie game, they'll be

0:50:41.440 --> 0:50:42.000
<v Speaker 7>pushing an eight.

0:50:42.160 --> 0:50:43.799
<v Speaker 4>Now, what do you think is going on? Here's the question,

0:50:43.960 --> 0:50:45.160
<v Speaker 4>and I'll open up to everybody.

0:50:45.880 --> 0:50:49.680
<v Speaker 2>What are the conversations that Sean McDermott has with Josh

0:50:49.760 --> 0:50:53.840
<v Speaker 2>Allen this week? Now, Allen, to his credit, put the

0:50:53.880 --> 0:50:55.440
<v Speaker 2>whole thing on his shoulders, as he should have.

0:50:55.520 --> 0:50:56.799
<v Speaker 4>He blew that game.

0:50:57.040 --> 0:50:58.640
<v Speaker 2>There's no reason the Jet should have been able to

0:50:58.680 --> 0:51:01.040
<v Speaker 2>come back unless the quarterback the other team gets as

0:51:01.160 --> 0:51:05.960
<v Speaker 2>reckless as Alan did. Is there a conversation that leads

0:51:06.040 --> 0:51:08.920
<v Speaker 2>to and this? This would make me feel a little bit.

0:51:09.680 --> 0:51:12.120
<v Speaker 2>I would be torn as a Bills fan. We need

0:51:12.239 --> 0:51:14.200
<v Speaker 2>you to rein it in and not be Josh Allen

0:51:14.280 --> 0:51:15.960
<v Speaker 2>because this is becoming to be an issue. Are we

0:51:16.000 --> 0:51:17.879
<v Speaker 2>going to see a more conservative version of him this week?

0:51:17.960 --> 0:51:20.560
<v Speaker 5>I don't think so, because it's like there's too much

0:51:20.640 --> 0:51:23.760
<v Speaker 5>evidence that if you take away what's special about Josh Allen,

0:51:24.440 --> 0:51:26.680
<v Speaker 5>that you're missing a major element of your offense. This

0:51:26.719 --> 0:51:28.920
<v Speaker 5>felt like a ghost ridden bike to me, this entire attack,

0:51:28.920 --> 0:51:30.200
<v Speaker 5>and we could go and I think the thing is

0:51:30.280 --> 0:51:33.399
<v Speaker 5>though I would parcel in the Josh Allen like Joe

0:51:33.480 --> 0:51:35.279
<v Speaker 5>Burrow against the Browns. It's like if that were all,

0:51:35.360 --> 0:51:37.680
<v Speaker 5>if that were his career, like week after week, we

0:51:37.719 --> 0:51:39.319
<v Speaker 5>would not be even talking about Joe Burrow.

0:51:39.320 --> 0:51:42.200
<v Speaker 3>Its disaster to make the decisions or you know, and

0:51:42.320 --> 0:51:43.600
<v Speaker 3>he had to play in the weather. It was the

0:51:44.160 --> 0:51:45.480
<v Speaker 3>mental side of it that was so.

0:51:45.880 --> 0:51:47.560
<v Speaker 4>I'm with you there, But I think the Jets of

0:51:47.640 --> 0:51:49.719
<v Speaker 4>awareness of the type of game he was playing, right.

0:51:49.760 --> 0:51:51.960
<v Speaker 5>The Jets have had Josh Allen's number the last couple

0:51:51.960 --> 0:51:54.080
<v Speaker 5>of seasons, though, and I think some quarterbacks just don't

0:51:54.080 --> 0:51:56.719
<v Speaker 5>match up well. But I feel like even I know

0:51:56.880 --> 0:51:59.279
<v Speaker 5>I mentioned this game too many times, but even when

0:51:59.320 --> 0:52:00.920
<v Speaker 5>he went out there for a long period of time

0:52:00.920 --> 0:52:03.439
<v Speaker 5>against the Steelers in the preseason, something just didn't seem

0:52:03.560 --> 0:52:05.439
<v Speaker 5>right with Josh Allen a little bit. And I think

0:52:05.640 --> 0:52:08.400
<v Speaker 5>like the last the way that last season ended, I mean,

0:52:08.480 --> 0:52:11.080
<v Speaker 5>these two games were moved from throwing three hundred and

0:52:11.120 --> 0:52:13.680
<v Speaker 5>fifty two yards against the Dolphins in the playoffs. But

0:52:14.040 --> 0:52:16.000
<v Speaker 5>outside of some of that, like the Josh Allen at

0:52:16.000 --> 0:52:18.279
<v Speaker 5>the end of last season and the turnovers and the

0:52:18.360 --> 0:52:21.320
<v Speaker 5>red zone performance, It's like this is like a post

0:52:21.400 --> 0:52:24.200
<v Speaker 5>Brian Daball version of Josh Allen. It seems like he

0:52:24.320 --> 0:52:25.240
<v Speaker 5>misses Brian Table.

0:52:25.320 --> 0:52:27.800
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I think those conversations happen, of course, but

0:52:27.920 --> 0:52:31.879
<v Speaker 3>he's smart enough to say it first, and I think

0:52:31.920 --> 0:52:35.839
<v Speaker 3>the conversations have been happening his whole career. But when

0:52:35.880 --> 0:52:39.160
<v Speaker 3>he gets on the field, he blacks out. And he

0:52:39.400 --> 0:52:42.560
<v Speaker 3>basically rained that in from the first two seasons where

0:52:42.600 --> 0:52:46.080
<v Speaker 3>he was totally chaotic and would black out, And in

0:52:46.200 --> 0:52:49.080
<v Speaker 3>this case, it was just forcing passes that just weren't

0:52:49.080 --> 0:52:52.680
<v Speaker 3>even there. It just wasn't even passes that were worth taking.

0:52:52.800 --> 0:52:56.919
<v Speaker 3>The third interception, to me, was understandable, but this is all.

0:52:56.880 --> 0:52:58.600
<v Speaker 4>Other of them were close to being completed by no No.

0:52:59.200 --> 0:53:00.840
<v Speaker 3>But the third one it was a great play by

0:53:00.920 --> 0:53:03.480
<v Speaker 3>Whitehead where I don't think he expected him to make

0:53:03.560 --> 0:53:06.840
<v Speaker 3>that play that The others were just insane. The Buffalo

0:53:06.920 --> 0:53:09.719
<v Speaker 3>Bills are also transitioning. I mean, they were literally the

0:53:09.840 --> 0:53:12.759
<v Speaker 3>least tight end heavy league in the team in the

0:53:12.840 --> 0:53:15.279
<v Speaker 3>league last year, and in Week one they were by

0:53:15.400 --> 0:53:18.839
<v Speaker 3>far the most. They had knocks and kincaid out their

0:53:19.600 --> 0:53:21.960
<v Speaker 3>sixty something percent of the steps. No one plays two

0:53:22.000 --> 0:53:24.160
<v Speaker 3>tight ends that much, and so there is a bit

0:53:24.239 --> 0:53:28.160
<v Speaker 3>of transition here, they're searching for secondary receivers behind Diggs.

0:53:28.200 --> 0:53:31.440
<v Speaker 3>You're trying to keep Digs busy, to keep him happy

0:53:31.480 --> 0:53:35.839
<v Speaker 3>because something Alan and Diggs and like, it's a lot

0:53:35.960 --> 0:53:37.759
<v Speaker 3>and you you got to be able to count on

0:53:37.840 --> 0:53:41.479
<v Speaker 3>your defense to your point Dan like in that game,

0:53:41.680 --> 0:53:43.520
<v Speaker 3>to just go win it for you, and they would

0:53:43.760 --> 0:53:46.640
<v Speaker 3>and they would have, they would have, And in this

0:53:46.760 --> 0:53:48.800
<v Speaker 3>game too against the Raiders. I don't think Jimmy g

0:53:48.920 --> 0:53:50.560
<v Speaker 3>as clean as Jimmy G played last week, and I

0:53:50.560 --> 0:53:52.719
<v Speaker 3>think he looked well. Jacoby Myers probably not in this game,

0:53:52.760 --> 0:53:54.840
<v Speaker 3>and he's coming out of concussion, Like, I think you

0:53:54.920 --> 0:53:57.960
<v Speaker 3>can probably trust that your defense is not giving up

0:53:58.000 --> 0:53:59.759
<v Speaker 3>more than twenty points in this game.

0:54:00.400 --> 0:54:03.719
<v Speaker 2>You know Dables last year and you know interceptions can

0:54:03.800 --> 0:54:06.919
<v Speaker 2>be misleading, but he threw a career high fifteen picks

0:54:07.000 --> 0:54:09.839
<v Speaker 2>that year. He has the most interceptions in the league

0:54:09.880 --> 0:54:11.399
<v Speaker 2>of any quarterback in the last three years. So he's

0:54:11.400 --> 0:54:14.040
<v Speaker 2>always gonna be that gun sling elma to his game.

0:54:14.080 --> 0:54:16.719
<v Speaker 2>And that's okay, Like going back to Joe Namath and

0:54:17.000 --> 0:54:19.400
<v Speaker 2>Brett Farv like far as interception numbers were in.

0:54:19.440 --> 0:54:22.040
<v Speaker 4>SAT's okay, as long as it's being balanced out with

0:54:22.200 --> 0:54:24.279
<v Speaker 4>like I will give him credit on the touchdown pass

0:54:24.360 --> 0:54:27.680
<v Speaker 4>he had to digs on Monday Night.

0:54:27.800 --> 0:54:30.919
<v Speaker 2>That's just classic Allen, Like that's his that's his move,

0:54:31.120 --> 0:54:33.520
<v Speaker 2>Like it's his finishing move, that ability.

0:54:33.239 --> 0:54:35.680
<v Speaker 4>To scramble and then at the last second pull the

0:54:35.760 --> 0:54:37.799
<v Speaker 4>trigger and drop it in there. I don't want.

0:54:37.960 --> 0:54:40.200
<v Speaker 2>I think the Bills will be worse off if he's

0:54:40.440 --> 0:54:43.120
<v Speaker 2>raining in his game to try to limit his turnovers.

0:54:43.160 --> 0:54:45.279
<v Speaker 2>I think he's got to be himself, but there's got

0:54:45.440 --> 0:54:47.480
<v Speaker 2>to be if he really is a mad man and

0:54:47.520 --> 0:54:49.799
<v Speaker 2>he just can't process it, the Bills are never gonna

0:54:49.800 --> 0:54:50.439
<v Speaker 2>get over the hump.

0:54:50.719 --> 0:54:53.839
<v Speaker 4>But I've seen enough good film of Josh Allen. Yeah

0:54:53.960 --> 0:54:55.239
<v Speaker 4>that I'm not.

0:54:55.560 --> 0:54:57.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm not in the camp of I think the Bills

0:54:57.080 --> 0:54:58.800
<v Speaker 2>are in trouble. Now you're starting to hear that creeping

0:54:58.840 --> 0:55:01.719
<v Speaker 2>in like, oh, Josh Allen, is he part of the problem. No,

0:55:02.040 --> 0:55:05.080
<v Speaker 2>In fact, this might be a game where he kicks

0:55:05.080 --> 0:55:07.440
<v Speaker 2>a mass here and kind of shuts some people up,

0:55:07.560 --> 0:55:11.279
<v Speaker 2>like the Raiders seem like at home in Buffalo. A

0:55:11.400 --> 0:55:15.360
<v Speaker 2>great matchup for Josh Allen to play some big time football.

0:55:15.560 --> 0:55:17.560
<v Speaker 5>Well, And I think though from a flip side, because

0:55:17.640 --> 0:55:21.040
<v Speaker 5>I've been relentlessly destroying the Raiders for six plus months,

0:55:21.080 --> 0:55:24.319
<v Speaker 5>if not sixteen to eighteen months. This is a huge chance.

0:55:24.640 --> 0:55:26.800
<v Speaker 5>And I thought the Jimmy g played really well, and like,

0:55:27.320 --> 0:55:29.200
<v Speaker 5>you know, you are catching a Bills team that I

0:55:29.239 --> 0:55:30.960
<v Speaker 5>think it's just it's not that I think the whole

0:55:31.040 --> 0:55:33.359
<v Speaker 5>thing doesn't work. They're under a lot of pressure though.

0:55:33.360 --> 0:55:35.279
<v Speaker 5>They just feel tight, and I think what happened, what

0:55:35.400 --> 0:55:38.640
<v Speaker 5>manifested on Monday night is so much a part of

0:55:38.680 --> 0:55:40.480
<v Speaker 5>that that they're just like penciled in. Is this team

0:55:40.520 --> 0:55:42.759
<v Speaker 5>that's going to be in the AFC Final two or

0:55:42.800 --> 0:55:45.000
<v Speaker 5>Final four, And it's like they feel incomplete to me,

0:55:45.160 --> 0:55:47.200
<v Speaker 5>Like I don't know if I trust the Raiders defense

0:55:47.280 --> 0:55:50.040
<v Speaker 5>to handle Josh Allen, But do you think that there's

0:55:50.040 --> 0:55:52.239
<v Speaker 5>a way that you get another really clean game from

0:55:52.320 --> 0:55:55.799
<v Speaker 5>Garoppolo and you're hanging around late that the Bills get

0:55:55.840 --> 0:55:57.440
<v Speaker 5>into their heads a little bit. It just seems like

0:55:57.520 --> 0:56:00.239
<v Speaker 5>a team of all these AFC teams maybe throw the

0:56:00.280 --> 0:56:01.799
<v Speaker 5>Bengals in there to some agree that just a little

0:56:01.800 --> 0:56:02.560
<v Speaker 5>bit tight right now.

0:56:02.520 --> 0:56:04.160
<v Speaker 3>Well in the in the crowd will be tight. Will

0:56:04.200 --> 0:56:07.560
<v Speaker 3>remind me of those old like Fenway Park Red Sox

0:56:07.640 --> 0:56:09.919
<v Speaker 3>crowds are so loud at the beginnings of the games

0:56:10.000 --> 0:56:11.600
<v Speaker 3>and then wanted to get towards the end. You get,

0:56:11.680 --> 0:56:13.400
<v Speaker 3>you get a little tight, it'll be tough. I do

0:56:13.600 --> 0:56:16.160
<v Speaker 3>think that the Raiders defensive progress we heard about in

0:56:16.239 --> 0:56:19.800
<v Speaker 3>camp played out pretty well in week one. They have

0:56:19.880 --> 0:56:21.719
<v Speaker 3>to be happy they're not gonna have Chandler Jones back.

0:56:21.760 --> 0:56:24.799
<v Speaker 3>It doesn't seem but I thought the Bills defense has

0:56:24.840 --> 0:56:27.400
<v Speaker 3>a lot to like. Greg Russo played well. I think

0:56:27.440 --> 0:56:30.200
<v Speaker 3>they've kind of settled on their cornerback with Benford. They've

0:56:30.400 --> 0:56:34.439
<v Speaker 3>totally benched their former first round pick kyer Elam like Mac,

0:56:34.880 --> 0:56:36.520
<v Speaker 3>I think they look okay. And I've got an eye

0:56:36.560 --> 0:56:37.360
<v Speaker 3>on Josh Jacobs.

0:56:37.880 --> 0:56:38.239
<v Speaker 4>He didn't.

0:56:38.800 --> 0:56:40.640
<v Speaker 3>He's had a very up and down career and he

0:56:40.760 --> 0:56:42.759
<v Speaker 3>came into camp late, but he just didn't quite have

0:56:42.880 --> 0:56:45.000
<v Speaker 3>that pop last week. So just keep an eye on

0:56:45.160 --> 0:56:47.719
<v Speaker 3>him because he one year he's great, one year, the

0:56:47.760 --> 0:56:49.759
<v Speaker 3>next he's not. Like I don't know, hope he's going

0:56:49.800 --> 0:56:52.919
<v Speaker 3>through his training camp in real exactly so, because that's

0:56:52.960 --> 0:56:54.600
<v Speaker 3>how you beat the Rams, I mean the Bills. If

0:56:54.600 --> 0:56:56.600
<v Speaker 3>you're gonna beat the Bills, they're gonna have to run

0:56:56.680 --> 0:56:56.800
<v Speaker 3>on it.

0:56:56.840 --> 0:56:58.640
<v Speaker 4>I would like Jacobe Myers to be in this game.

0:56:58.719 --> 0:57:01.719
<v Speaker 2>He really flashedes a receiver next to DeVonta Adams, but

0:57:01.760 --> 0:57:04.399
<v Speaker 2>he was in concussion protogol in the middle of the week,

0:57:04.480 --> 0:57:06.120
<v Speaker 2>and so it's not looking good for Myers to be

0:57:06.200 --> 0:57:08.360
<v Speaker 2>on the field against the Bills. I think the Bills

0:57:08.400 --> 0:57:12.399
<v Speaker 2>win this one comfortably and if they don't, look out

0:57:13.760 --> 0:57:14.400
<v Speaker 2>big problems.

0:57:14.480 --> 0:57:16.560
<v Speaker 5>Although remember the Bengals row in two a year ago.

0:57:19.760 --> 0:57:21.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but there's a you can point to reach.

0:57:21.880 --> 0:57:24.000
<v Speaker 5>I think, why if I'm with you, win with you?

0:57:24.080 --> 0:57:26.600
<v Speaker 5>Like I think that Jets loss was a disaster for Buffalo.

0:57:26.880 --> 0:57:28.960
<v Speaker 2>All right, pause right there. We got to finish out

0:57:29.000 --> 0:57:32.520
<v Speaker 2>this draft, but not before a quick break. All right,

0:57:32.600 --> 0:57:34.400
<v Speaker 2>we're back Mark, You're up, all right.

0:57:34.480 --> 0:57:36.680
<v Speaker 5>So, like I'm not saying this is the best game left,

0:57:36.720 --> 0:57:38.000
<v Speaker 5>but I have to pick a late game, and I'm

0:57:38.040 --> 0:57:40.120
<v Speaker 5>gonna go. I kind of am interested to see what

0:57:40.160 --> 0:57:44.040
<v Speaker 5>happens here. Giants Cardinals, I mean talk about a New

0:57:44.120 --> 0:57:46.440
<v Speaker 5>York Which New York disaster was bigger obviously the Jets

0:57:46.480 --> 0:57:49.000
<v Speaker 5>for the future. But like the Giants laid about as

0:57:49.080 --> 0:57:51.880
<v Speaker 5>large as an egg as one could imagine being produced

0:57:51.960 --> 0:57:54.760
<v Speaker 5>on our Earth. It happened in front on an island

0:57:54.840 --> 0:57:57.880
<v Speaker 5>game a terrible island to be on and the Cardinals

0:57:58.320 --> 0:58:02.120
<v Speaker 5>for all the giggling play, the commander's tough on how

0:58:02.160 --> 0:58:04.680
<v Speaker 5>to lead in the fourth quarter. It's like you just assume,

0:58:05.080 --> 0:58:06.280
<v Speaker 5>I guess by logic.

0:58:06.000 --> 0:58:09.000
<v Speaker 4>That the Gmas more then giggling. It's it's owling laughter

0:58:09.240 --> 0:58:10.680
<v Speaker 4>for an organization to be run as poor.

0:58:10.640 --> 0:58:12.560
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and less for a Cardinals fan then it's very

0:58:12.600 --> 0:58:15.400
<v Speaker 5>little laughter. But like I if, I mean, talked with

0:58:15.520 --> 0:58:18.480
<v Speaker 5>Zumbold a little bit by text and he just flat

0:58:18.520 --> 0:58:21.600
<v Speaker 5>out doesn't agree that the team is, you know, tanking,

0:58:21.760 --> 0:58:23.440
<v Speaker 5>because I don't think you can tank number one if

0:58:23.440 --> 0:58:24.160
<v Speaker 5>you're can't tell the.

0:58:24.240 --> 0:58:26.760
<v Speaker 3>Course they're trying their hardest. I think it's a different.

0:58:27.160 --> 0:58:30.480
<v Speaker 5>It's like you put the wrong trying if you put

0:58:30.520 --> 0:58:31.840
<v Speaker 5>the wrong players out on the field.

0:58:31.880 --> 0:58:33.000
<v Speaker 4>That's sometimes people.

0:58:32.840 --> 0:58:36.600
<v Speaker 2>Don't get, not that you obviously mark or even somewhat

0:58:36.920 --> 0:58:39.480
<v Speaker 2>they don't understand what tanking means. Tanking isn't the players.

0:58:39.720 --> 0:58:41.880
<v Speaker 2>The players are playing for a paycheck in their careers.

0:58:42.160 --> 0:58:44.640
<v Speaker 2>The coaches are playing coaching for their jobs. They're coaching

0:58:44.640 --> 0:58:47.360
<v Speaker 2>and playing their ass off. It's the organization putting that

0:58:47.440 --> 0:58:51.120
<v Speaker 2>teams putting that tank is upstairs.

0:58:51.360 --> 0:58:53.960
<v Speaker 3>It's being in a situation where Josh Dobbs is their

0:58:54.000 --> 0:58:55.640
<v Speaker 3>best option, right, that's.

0:58:55.480 --> 0:58:57.160
<v Speaker 5>The what you got to that place?

0:58:57.360 --> 0:58:58.360
<v Speaker 3>Uh, I don't know.

0:58:58.440 --> 0:59:00.360
<v Speaker 5>I say there's a couple of little ways into this

0:59:00.480 --> 0:59:02.880
<v Speaker 5>game for Arizona to keep it tight. Now about thout

0:59:02.960 --> 0:59:06.840
<v Speaker 5>Jonathan Gannon, Like that defense had three turnovers a week ago,

0:59:07.400 --> 0:59:09.560
<v Speaker 5>they had a fumble return for a touchdown. Like they

0:59:09.680 --> 0:59:12.080
<v Speaker 5>kind of put the Commanders into a tough spot, and

0:59:12.200 --> 0:59:16.200
<v Speaker 5>so maybe Jonathan Gannon's defense has some life. Darren Waller

0:59:16.520 --> 0:59:19.400
<v Speaker 5>has a hamstring injury right now that is being labeled

0:59:19.400 --> 0:59:21.640
<v Speaker 5>as a lingering issue. That's sort of like the worst

0:59:21.720 --> 0:59:24.840
<v Speaker 5>case scenario for Darren Waller, who obviously didn't show up

0:59:24.840 --> 0:59:27.720
<v Speaker 5>a week ago. Andrew Thomas did not practice on Wednesday.

0:59:27.760 --> 0:59:29.760
<v Speaker 5>It's like you got a banged up version of the

0:59:29.840 --> 0:59:32.000
<v Speaker 5>Giants who probably are questioning who they are at this

0:59:32.080 --> 0:59:34.200
<v Speaker 5>point after getting whipped the way they did terrible weather.

0:59:34.280 --> 0:59:36.120
<v Speaker 5>But I get that. But it's like you talk about

0:59:36.120 --> 0:59:39.240
<v Speaker 5>another quarterback under a lot of pressure. It's Daniel Jones.

0:59:39.320 --> 0:59:41.760
<v Speaker 5>It's this offensive line. It's like Saquon Barkley didn't do

0:59:41.880 --> 0:59:43.840
<v Speaker 5>much last time. They were a mistake prone. They were

0:59:43.920 --> 0:59:46.439
<v Speaker 5>kind of everything they weren't a year ago. Brian da Bolder,

0:59:46.520 --> 0:59:49.600
<v Speaker 5>WonderBoy was completely out coached. I think think bad night

0:59:49.680 --> 0:59:51.840
<v Speaker 5>there was a bat there's a bad weather element to

0:59:51.880 --> 0:59:54.600
<v Speaker 5>that game at Snowball, but there was a weather element

0:59:54.840 --> 0:59:55.840
<v Speaker 5>for the Cowboys too.

0:59:55.840 --> 0:59:59.640
<v Speaker 3>In a fluky element. But Andrew Thomas be now that's

0:59:59.680 --> 1:00:02.520
<v Speaker 3>a huge problem. It sounds like he's gonna miss this game,

1:00:02.720 --> 1:00:06.120
<v Speaker 3>maybe multiple games. He's their best player. I would say

1:00:06.880 --> 1:00:09.600
<v Speaker 3>on Cardinals had six sex they're right tackle Evan Neil,

1:00:09.640 --> 1:00:11.840
<v Speaker 3>who they've been kind of hoping would pop up, did

1:00:11.920 --> 1:00:15.000
<v Speaker 3>not have a good Week one at all, and yeah,

1:00:15.600 --> 1:00:19.280
<v Speaker 3>maybe they can make this game an ugly game, especially

1:00:19.280 --> 1:00:21.360
<v Speaker 3>if Waller's not there. You would think that the Giants

1:00:21.680 --> 1:00:24.240
<v Speaker 3>have enough talent. But but it wasn't a good week

1:00:24.320 --> 1:00:28.000
<v Speaker 3>for their pass rush either. Kavon was quiet O j Lari.

1:00:28.680 --> 1:00:31.840
<v Speaker 3>I would like to think this Giants defense does plenty.

1:00:31.640 --> 1:00:34.240
<v Speaker 4>Though you know, would be really ugly. And I believe

1:00:34.280 --> 1:00:34.680
<v Speaker 4>in this thing.

1:00:35.000 --> 1:00:38.120
<v Speaker 2>With the way the NFL schedule plays out, when you

1:00:38.240 --> 1:00:41.560
<v Speaker 2>have a bad Week one loss and then you get

1:00:41.680 --> 1:00:44.600
<v Speaker 2>what should be a layup in Week two, usually you

1:00:44.720 --> 1:00:46.360
<v Speaker 2>take advantage of that. If you have a Week three

1:00:46.480 --> 1:00:49.640
<v Speaker 2>death March going to San Francisco next week, Giants. They're

1:00:49.680 --> 1:00:52.160
<v Speaker 2>probably not even coming back East. They're probably staying out there,

1:00:52.560 --> 1:00:55.880
<v Speaker 2>and they know if we don't beat the Cardinals on

1:00:56.040 --> 1:00:58.959
<v Speaker 2>Sunday at four oh five on Fox and a game

1:00:59.400 --> 1:01:02.800
<v Speaker 2>that is called just out of curiosity, I like to

1:01:02.880 --> 1:01:05.479
<v Speaker 2>check in Adam Amine, Mark Scelerath, and Christina Pink.

1:01:05.880 --> 1:01:09.240
<v Speaker 4>If we don't take care of business here, it's over.

1:01:09.480 --> 1:01:11.200
<v Speaker 4>The season's over before it ever began.

1:01:11.560 --> 1:01:12.760
<v Speaker 3>Five and a half point favor, Well.

1:01:12.680 --> 1:01:14.560
<v Speaker 4>Go check rag. We'll own three teams, how many make

1:01:14.600 --> 1:01:15.120
<v Speaker 4>the playoffs.

1:01:15.360 --> 1:01:17.760
<v Speaker 2>I know it's seventeen games now, but still I think

1:01:17.800 --> 1:01:20.200
<v Speaker 2>the Giants will show up. I think that they were humbled,

1:01:20.200 --> 1:01:22.840
<v Speaker 2>they're still well coached. Everyone had a bad day. Yeah,

1:01:23.800 --> 1:01:25.240
<v Speaker 2>I think he's gonna have them in a good place

1:01:25.280 --> 1:01:27.600
<v Speaker 2>and they're gonna play well. Sekuon is a big day

1:01:27.720 --> 1:01:28.960
<v Speaker 2>and I think they win by ten.

1:01:29.640 --> 1:01:32.280
<v Speaker 3>I think I would take the Cardinals to cover that

1:01:32.400 --> 1:01:33.080
<v Speaker 3>five and a half.

1:01:33.000 --> 1:01:35.560
<v Speaker 5>Point really well, then you have to believe that they've

1:01:35.640 --> 1:01:36.400
<v Speaker 5>got just one.

1:01:36.280 --> 1:01:39.720
<v Speaker 3>Of my general thoughts. Back in the day, and we

1:01:40.200 --> 1:01:42.200
<v Speaker 3>do talk like what we think the score will be

1:01:42.760 --> 1:01:44.880
<v Speaker 3>in on game debut. We do that too, but back

1:01:44.920 --> 1:01:47.200
<v Speaker 3>in the day, one of the truisms and this would

1:01:47.240 --> 1:01:49.800
<v Speaker 3>have been picking the Cardinals last week is like, never

1:01:49.960 --> 1:01:53.480
<v Speaker 3>take bad to mediocre teams as heavy favorites like Washington

1:01:53.520 --> 1:01:56.160
<v Speaker 3>should not be favored by seven in any scenario. Just

1:01:56.200 --> 1:01:58.480
<v Speaker 3>too much can happen in the NFL. Should the Giants

1:01:58.520 --> 1:02:01.240
<v Speaker 3>be favored by five and a half in any scenario.

1:02:01.320 --> 1:02:02.880
<v Speaker 4>On the road. I don't think the Giants are a

1:02:02.880 --> 1:02:05.360
<v Speaker 4>bad team. I would say now a mediocre Okay, maybe

1:02:05.400 --> 1:02:07.360
<v Speaker 4>I'll give you that. It was week one. It was

1:02:09.440 --> 1:02:10.200
<v Speaker 4>no good week.

1:02:11.080 --> 1:02:17.520
<v Speaker 2>Let's see, you know what, that was a special night

1:02:17.560 --> 1:02:20.840
<v Speaker 2>in London last year. We're gonna put that on ice until.

1:02:20.600 --> 1:02:23.920
<v Speaker 4>They win a game, and hopefully for Giants fans listen

1:02:24.360 --> 1:02:25.160
<v Speaker 4>Sunday nights.

1:02:25.560 --> 1:02:27.680
<v Speaker 2>As a New York sports fan, we had a tough

1:02:27.800 --> 1:02:32.080
<v Speaker 2>go of it Sunday Monday. I mean, people don't even

1:02:32.120 --> 1:02:33.800
<v Speaker 2>know a lot of people if you don't fallow baseball.

1:02:33.840 --> 1:02:36.600
<v Speaker 2>The Yankees have this once in a generation prospect, the

1:02:36.680 --> 1:02:40.720
<v Speaker 2>marsh and Jason Domingez has an incredible first week, and

1:02:40.800 --> 1:02:42.760
<v Speaker 2>then they learned that he tore his ucl and his

1:02:42.840 --> 1:02:44.960
<v Speaker 2>elbow and he's out until next year. That happens Sunday.

1:02:45.240 --> 1:02:47.720
<v Speaker 2>Then the Giant game happens Sunday night, and then Aaron

1:02:47.800 --> 1:02:51.240
<v Speaker 2>Rodgers Monday enough a waterfall.

1:02:50.880 --> 1:02:53.720
<v Speaker 4>Of like just poop for New York sports. Yeah too long?

1:02:54.320 --> 1:02:58.160
<v Speaker 4>Maybe this is those on fire right now. It's good,

1:02:58.240 --> 1:02:59.880
<v Speaker 4>it's good for It's very good for New York.

1:03:00.360 --> 1:03:02.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, only Jalen Brunson can save you.

1:03:02.960 --> 1:03:05.000
<v Speaker 5>Now, it's great for the post until the Jets are

1:03:05.040 --> 1:03:07.280
<v Speaker 5>like one in five and Zach Wilson still playing quarterback.

1:03:07.560 --> 1:03:10.080
<v Speaker 5>Then it's your readership starts to fall off a little bit.

1:03:10.560 --> 1:03:13.800
<v Speaker 5>Not necessary, Mark, I am not suggesting that's what I

1:03:13.960 --> 1:03:15.040
<v Speaker 5>want at all, I know, but.

1:03:15.160 --> 1:03:17.880
<v Speaker 2>Just that's an obvious thing that I'm processing, is a

1:03:17.960 --> 1:03:19.320
<v Speaker 2>reality that I'm dealing with.

1:03:19.520 --> 1:03:20.720
<v Speaker 5>Well, I apologize.

1:03:21.920 --> 1:03:25.720
<v Speaker 3>I truly still love you. Let's move on, Greg, all right,

1:03:25.720 --> 1:03:27.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm taking a good game that's still available this late.

1:03:28.080 --> 1:03:32.160
<v Speaker 3>Bengals three and a half point favorites over the Ravens.

1:03:32.960 --> 1:03:37.600
<v Speaker 3>Ravens offensive line no Linderbaum. We mentioned out of practice

1:03:37.640 --> 1:03:42.080
<v Speaker 3>their center, second year player Ronnie Stanley, the barometer of

1:03:42.280 --> 1:03:44.040
<v Speaker 3>if the offense is going to be good or not.

1:03:44.240 --> 1:03:47.160
<v Speaker 3>Out of practice, we know Marcus Williams isn't coming back

1:03:47.200 --> 1:03:49.840
<v Speaker 3>for potentially a long time. Marlon Humphrey remember him, their

1:03:49.880 --> 1:03:51.600
<v Speaker 3>best cornerback. They were hoping to have him back for

1:03:51.640 --> 1:03:53.960
<v Speaker 3>a week two. Oh yeah, not sure. Not in practice.

1:03:54.520 --> 1:03:57.520
<v Speaker 3>No one had a worse week in terms of the

1:03:57.600 --> 1:04:00.640
<v Speaker 3>breadth of their team the amount of key players. Good

1:04:00.680 --> 1:04:02.640
<v Speaker 3>word then than the Ravens.

1:04:03.440 --> 1:04:07.720
<v Speaker 4>Spell at mark breadth b R E A D T

1:04:08.040 --> 1:04:09.640
<v Speaker 4>HI A D.

1:04:10.040 --> 1:04:15.040
<v Speaker 3>I think it's gonna be a a disjointed offensive game.

1:04:15.280 --> 1:04:16.240
<v Speaker 5>Don't do that to me again.

1:04:18.000 --> 1:04:21.080
<v Speaker 3>The weather was a problem for the Bengals last week,

1:04:22.040 --> 1:04:22.520
<v Speaker 3>only problem.

1:04:22.680 --> 1:04:24.440
<v Speaker 2>Can we calm down with weather by the way for

1:04:24.560 --> 1:04:26.800
<v Speaker 2>week two? Yeah, bad job by these codes. You don't

1:04:26.840 --> 1:04:29.120
<v Speaker 2>need we clean it up. It was messy, yeah, and

1:04:29.160 --> 1:04:31.520
<v Speaker 2>he does have the smaller hands. And the ball was

1:04:31.600 --> 1:04:35.040
<v Speaker 2>slipping out nine inches. That's an old uh old nine inches,

1:04:36.480 --> 1:04:42.520
<v Speaker 2>not fig Lamar coming off a bad game. Sometimes you

1:04:42.680 --> 1:04:46.600
<v Speaker 2>saw their offense wasn't exactly sure what was going on either,

1:04:47.080 --> 1:04:50.520
<v Speaker 2>like receivers in the wrong place. Lamar playing really well

1:04:50.560 --> 1:04:53.040
<v Speaker 2>in the second half before just like a goofy fumble

1:04:53.080 --> 1:04:56.440
<v Speaker 2>and he had a couple of those we've seen across

1:04:56.480 --> 1:04:56.880
<v Speaker 2>the league.

1:04:56.960 --> 1:05:00.640
<v Speaker 3>Defenses are a head of offenses right now. There aren't

1:05:00.680 --> 1:05:04.200
<v Speaker 3>many deep passes going on. And then we got a

1:05:05.120 --> 1:05:07.600
<v Speaker 3>theory from Nick Westley. Now that's hard on him, but

1:05:07.640 --> 1:05:10.160
<v Speaker 3>I like to give him credit. He is an excellent

1:05:11.160 --> 1:05:15.240
<v Speaker 3>football in sports mind, and oh yeah, his eye spotted,

1:05:15.480 --> 1:05:18.520
<v Speaker 3>maybe just like a little less explosiveness. He thought out

1:05:18.560 --> 1:05:22.160
<v Speaker 3>of Lamar as a runner as a playmaker then maybe

1:05:22.240 --> 1:05:24.800
<v Speaker 3>in the past, which wouldn't be crazy in the league

1:05:24.920 --> 1:05:26.640
<v Speaker 3>at while. So that's just something I'm just going to

1:05:26.720 --> 1:05:28.800
<v Speaker 3>watch for. There were a couple of plays they certainly

1:05:28.840 --> 1:05:31.280
<v Speaker 3>weren't calling running plays for Lamar, and that's fine. It's

1:05:31.320 --> 1:05:33.560
<v Speaker 3>going to change depending on the week. But I really

1:05:33.640 --> 1:05:36.760
<v Speaker 3>expect this to be a defensive game. I think it's

1:05:36.800 --> 1:05:38.800
<v Speaker 3>going to take the Bengals more than a week to

1:05:38.920 --> 1:05:41.480
<v Speaker 3>fix all the things that showed up in Week one.

1:05:41.520 --> 1:05:44.360
<v Speaker 3>And I think the Ravens defense, not their offense, but

1:05:44.400 --> 1:05:46.200
<v Speaker 3>their defense is still in great shape.

1:05:46.400 --> 1:05:48.600
<v Speaker 4>I have a Lamar take.

1:05:48.720 --> 1:05:52.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't think there are too many quarterback top weapon

1:05:53.480 --> 1:05:56.520
<v Speaker 2>targets that make as much a big deal than when

1:05:56.800 --> 1:05:58.520
<v Speaker 2>Lamar doesn't have Mark Andrews.

1:05:58.320 --> 1:06:02.080
<v Speaker 3>Like, well, that's true, and it sounds like guy, that's

1:06:02.120 --> 1:06:02.760
<v Speaker 3>his dog.

1:06:02.720 --> 1:06:05.640
<v Speaker 4>That's his guy. He loves him in the intermediate passing game,

1:06:05.680 --> 1:06:07.400
<v Speaker 4>he loves him in the red zone. You take him

1:06:07.440 --> 1:06:09.400
<v Speaker 4>out of there. And I know Odell made you know,

1:06:09.800 --> 1:06:12.560
<v Speaker 4>one really nice over the shoulder catch and we saw

1:06:13.000 --> 1:06:16.520
<v Speaker 4>I agree with you, Greg Flowers really jumped out at

1:06:16.560 --> 1:06:18.800
<v Speaker 4>you and you get the idea that he could be

1:06:18.840 --> 1:06:19.640
<v Speaker 4>a big time player.

1:06:20.760 --> 1:06:23.080
<v Speaker 2>So there are things they get excited about. But you

1:06:23.240 --> 1:06:24.840
<v Speaker 2>need On Andrews on the field. I think he's the

1:06:24.880 --> 1:06:26.480
<v Speaker 2>stabilizing Djenga piece for them.

1:06:26.920 --> 1:06:29.520
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, so Zay Flowers. I think what we saw that's

1:06:29.560 --> 1:06:31.880
<v Speaker 5>like a week two week thing, like they finally drafted

1:06:31.880 --> 1:06:34.440
<v Speaker 5>a wide receiver from you know, they've had trouble with

1:06:34.480 --> 1:06:36.240
<v Speaker 5>that for twenty years, and like he looks like the

1:06:36.320 --> 1:06:41.200
<v Speaker 5>real deal. I really would be concerned about Cincinnati's offensive line,

1:06:41.240 --> 1:06:44.959
<v Speaker 5>like the release Lyle Collins. You've got Jonah Williams moving

1:06:45.000 --> 1:06:47.160
<v Speaker 5>to right tackle pretty late in his career, and that's

1:06:47.640 --> 1:06:49.880
<v Speaker 5>if he that's an iffy proposition. He didn't like. He

1:06:49.960 --> 1:06:51.760
<v Speaker 5>didn't look good, But no one looked like I think

1:06:51.800 --> 1:06:54.560
<v Speaker 5>we are going to not to go down like the

1:06:54.640 --> 1:06:57.480
<v Speaker 5>Browns Avenue. But their defense I think is a difference

1:06:57.560 --> 1:06:59.480
<v Speaker 5>making front. I mean, it's like I think a lot

1:06:59.520 --> 1:07:01.280
<v Speaker 5>to do with what happened we go wasn't the weather.

1:07:01.360 --> 1:07:04.880
<v Speaker 5>It's like they absolutely controlled Cincinnati's line. Burrow looked totally

1:07:04.960 --> 1:07:08.560
<v Speaker 5>lost the idea that you have, what seven or eight

1:07:08.600 --> 1:07:10.720
<v Speaker 5>targets to T Higgins, he doesn't catch any of them.

1:07:11.320 --> 1:07:12.480
<v Speaker 3>Wasn't really on t Higgins.

1:07:12.560 --> 1:07:15.160
<v Speaker 5>It was just I think Burrow he was fourteen for

1:07:15.320 --> 1:07:15.800
<v Speaker 5>thirty one.

1:07:16.160 --> 1:07:18.960
<v Speaker 2>Well that's what I thought was in our previews on Wednesday,

1:07:19.000 --> 1:07:22.760
<v Speaker 2>Mark I pointed out not only was Cincinnati stuck in mud,

1:07:23.600 --> 1:07:26.600
<v Speaker 2>there was very few passes where you could really point

1:07:26.640 --> 1:07:28.520
<v Speaker 2>to him be like, oh there was an opportunity there.

1:07:28.560 --> 1:07:31.880
<v Speaker 2>They just completely got shut down on offense, and all

1:07:31.960 --> 1:07:36.360
<v Speaker 2>that was like gum flapping that I had getting fired

1:07:36.400 --> 1:07:40.720
<v Speaker 2>up about Herbert. It's what I love about Burrow is

1:07:40.800 --> 1:07:43.480
<v Speaker 2>he's like, I have no questions about Joe Burrow and

1:07:43.600 --> 1:07:46.520
<v Speaker 2>the ferocious competitor that he is, and I just feel

1:07:46.600 --> 1:07:49.400
<v Speaker 2>like he got embarrassed. He got embarrassed in Week one.

1:07:49.480 --> 1:07:52.680
<v Speaker 2>He looked like a chump. The offense looked terrible. I know,

1:07:52.800 --> 1:07:56.200
<v Speaker 2>again bad weather, but I would be surprised if Burrow

1:07:56.600 --> 1:07:58.720
<v Speaker 2>doesn't play extremely well in this game.

1:07:58.960 --> 1:08:02.560
<v Speaker 3>I I I wouldn't be surprised if he struggles, because

1:08:02.600 --> 1:08:04.920
<v Speaker 3>the last time we saw him in this game, he struggled.

1:08:04.960 --> 1:08:08.800
<v Speaker 3>They were lucky to beat the Ravens with Tyler Huntley

1:08:09.000 --> 1:08:11.320
<v Speaker 3>in the playoffs, you know, they they needed a couple

1:08:11.440 --> 1:08:15.840
<v Speaker 3>crazy defensive plays, like they've struggled in general against the Ravens.

1:08:15.880 --> 1:08:18.800
<v Speaker 3>This is kind of a nice spot for the Ravens because, yes,

1:08:18.880 --> 1:08:20.880
<v Speaker 3>they have their own issues, but no one's expecting them

1:08:20.920 --> 1:08:23.640
<v Speaker 3>to win this game. They're already have a chance here

1:08:23.720 --> 1:08:26.160
<v Speaker 3>to go to and Er and win on the road

1:08:26.200 --> 1:08:29.479
<v Speaker 3>against Cincinnati. Roquan Smith was insane last week. Like I

1:08:29.640 --> 1:08:31.360
<v Speaker 3>never mentioned that on the Sunday Night game, but that's

1:08:31.360 --> 1:08:32.920
<v Speaker 3>why we did the emergency pod last year.

1:08:33.040 --> 1:08:36.559
<v Speaker 5>Rights why he got traded ceiling he like for very

1:08:36.680 --> 1:08:37.799
<v Speaker 5>reasons past.

1:08:37.680 --> 1:08:40.760
<v Speaker 3>Game run game like, he was insane last week, and

1:08:41.040 --> 1:08:43.160
<v Speaker 3>I think this is it's just a division matchup. I'm

1:08:43.200 --> 1:08:45.000
<v Speaker 3>not saying you could throw the records out, but I'd

1:08:45.040 --> 1:08:47.240
<v Speaker 3>be surprised if this doesn't come down to the last possession.

1:08:47.240 --> 1:08:48.920
<v Speaker 3>It'd be had a big win for the raod game.

1:08:49.120 --> 1:08:51.760
<v Speaker 5>Is it a a Zach Taylor issue on some level that, like,

1:08:51.840 --> 1:08:54.479
<v Speaker 5>you know, year after year they seem to come out

1:08:54.520 --> 1:08:55.360
<v Speaker 5>of the gate kind of slow.

1:08:55.479 --> 1:08:57.639
<v Speaker 3>That was my dumb question. We did dumb questions yesterday

1:08:57.640 --> 1:08:58.920
<v Speaker 3>and I had a should.

1:08:58.680 --> 1:08:59.719
<v Speaker 4>Check out yesterday's podcast.

1:08:59.760 --> 1:09:02.960
<v Speaker 3>I was big What was he What was the answer,

1:09:02.960 --> 1:09:04.880
<v Speaker 3>because it's like mine was like, is this is Zach

1:09:04.920 --> 1:09:07.639
<v Speaker 3>Taylor the man to fix some problems in some letters?

1:09:07.640 --> 1:09:08.880
<v Speaker 5>See like the reverse Andy Reid.

1:09:08.920 --> 1:09:10.840
<v Speaker 2>Though, my answer was like, yeah, that was a tough

1:09:10.880 --> 1:09:12.519
<v Speaker 2>start last year, and then they won ten games in

1:09:12.520 --> 1:09:14.280
<v Speaker 2>a row, kicked everybody's ass in.

1:09:14.560 --> 1:09:15.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, here's a little fan.

1:09:15.760 --> 1:09:17.640
<v Speaker 5>He just had no creativity last week. I don't know.

1:09:17.720 --> 1:09:19.479
<v Speaker 5>You spent months preparing for that game.

1:09:19.560 --> 1:09:22.120
<v Speaker 3>So I thought Joe Mixon looked much better last week?

1:09:22.200 --> 1:09:23.080
<v Speaker 3>Did he did a year ago?

1:09:23.200 --> 1:09:23.599
<v Speaker 4>And Uh?

1:09:23.840 --> 1:09:25.760
<v Speaker 3>With someone to target FA, they're gonna be okay.

1:09:26.160 --> 1:09:28.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, they were okay last year, they'll be okay this year.

1:09:28.439 --> 1:09:28.760
<v Speaker 4>All right?

1:09:30.800 --> 1:09:31.280
<v Speaker 3>Oh my gosh.

1:09:32.120 --> 1:09:33.320
<v Speaker 4>Oh he didn't see it coming.

1:09:33.520 --> 1:09:35.800
<v Speaker 3>I knew it was coming, but I didn't love it.

1:09:36.000 --> 1:09:38.280
<v Speaker 3>I actually hadn't decided which game I want to watch.

1:09:38.360 --> 1:09:39.479
<v Speaker 3>Let's go Bears, Buck.

1:09:39.400 --> 1:09:42.120
<v Speaker 4>Madison behind the glass, head spinning. What's the graphic? Oh,

1:09:42.200 --> 1:09:44.600
<v Speaker 4>she has a rite off? Right up, she has it.

1:09:44.680 --> 1:09:46.639
<v Speaker 4>That's a crack team behind the glass.

1:09:46.720 --> 1:09:49.519
<v Speaker 3>Oh I'm sorry, I have not Oh no, I've not

1:09:49.720 --> 1:09:54.639
<v Speaker 3>been checking that slack Bucks Bears. The Bucks are two

1:09:54.720 --> 1:09:56.360
<v Speaker 3>and a half point favorite.

1:09:58.479 --> 1:10:00.000
<v Speaker 4>What's your talk like that for the rest of this year.

1:10:00.280 --> 1:10:00.920
<v Speaker 5>What's going on.

1:10:01.120 --> 1:10:06.120
<v Speaker 3>That's like my invitation of Colleen, like Baker Mayfield's back, everybody.

1:10:06.920 --> 1:10:07.960
<v Speaker 4>Sounds different when you do it.

1:10:08.280 --> 1:10:09.960
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, Colleen sounds to most.

1:10:11.240 --> 1:10:14.880
<v Speaker 3>Uh, that's kind of disrespectful to the Bucks. I mean,

1:10:14.920 --> 1:10:19.040
<v Speaker 3>the Bears could not have looked worse a week ago.

1:10:19.560 --> 1:10:20.920
<v Speaker 3>And if you're only a two and a half point

1:10:20.960 --> 1:10:23.240
<v Speaker 3>favorite at home, it's basically saying they think the Bears

1:10:23.360 --> 1:10:28.120
<v Speaker 3>are a better team. This is a tempting lock here because.

1:10:28.080 --> 1:10:30.600
<v Speaker 4>I like that You're tempted because I agree with you.

1:10:30.640 --> 1:10:32.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't think the Bucks are any good, but like

1:10:32.520 --> 1:10:35.240
<v Speaker 2>they showed a little something in Week one and the Bears.

1:10:35.439 --> 1:10:37.280
<v Speaker 3>This was my whole double. This was my whole thing

1:10:37.320 --> 1:10:39.200
<v Speaker 3>about the Bucks and the Bears in the preseason, Like,

1:10:39.360 --> 1:10:41.280
<v Speaker 3>don't the Bucks have a lot of players who would

1:10:41.280 --> 1:10:44.479
<v Speaker 3>be the best player on the Bears? Yes, Devin White

1:10:44.520 --> 1:10:47.679
<v Speaker 3>looked great last week, Levante David still great, Mike Evans,

1:10:47.720 --> 1:10:50.519
<v Speaker 3>you got christ Like everyone's so excited about DJ Moore?

1:10:50.640 --> 1:10:53.000
<v Speaker 3>Is DJ Moore better than Mike Evans or Chris Godwin?

1:10:53.080 --> 1:10:55.800
<v Speaker 3>I mean, maybe it's an conversation. They're in the same ballpark.

1:10:55.960 --> 1:10:58.559
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, he's certainly, like I think he's gonna be great

1:10:58.600 --> 1:10:59.280
<v Speaker 5>for them down the street.

1:10:59.320 --> 1:11:02.599
<v Speaker 3>I'm just saying he's not. Like, he's not a top

1:11:02.720 --> 1:11:04.840
<v Speaker 3>five or ten receiver in the league. And Godwin and

1:11:05.120 --> 1:11:07.400
<v Speaker 3>Evans have shown their level. They have a lot of

1:11:07.439 --> 1:11:11.040
<v Speaker 3>good players, is my point. Vidave is another and they

1:11:11.120 --> 1:11:13.800
<v Speaker 3>and they those players won and I just smelled a

1:11:13.840 --> 1:11:16.880
<v Speaker 3>little bit of bolls of Sons too coming. It's then

1:11:17.760 --> 1:11:20.280
<v Speaker 3>to google Loo Let's go. When he went for the

1:11:20.479 --> 1:11:23.639
<v Speaker 3>fourth and one in his own end, I thought, oh,

1:11:23.800 --> 1:11:27.479
<v Speaker 3>is this like when Ron Rivera found fourth down religion?

1:11:27.880 --> 1:11:30.680
<v Speaker 3>He went for a fourth and one on his own

1:11:30.800 --> 1:11:33.560
<v Speaker 3>thirty in a tie game with like seven minutes to go,

1:11:33.720 --> 1:11:35.760
<v Speaker 3>and you know what, it led to the game winning point.

1:11:35.800 --> 1:11:38.200
<v Speaker 4>They also settled for a fifty seven yard field goal

1:11:38.320 --> 1:11:39.320
<v Speaker 4>to get those winning points.

1:11:39.360 --> 1:11:41.760
<v Speaker 3>He's just doing what Well, that's because their offense isn't

1:11:41.800 --> 1:11:43.600
<v Speaker 3>that good. I'm not saying they're a great team, but

1:11:43.720 --> 1:11:44.720
<v Speaker 3>that decision.

1:11:44.640 --> 1:11:46.320
<v Speaker 5>He's just doing what most of the league is doing

1:11:46.360 --> 1:11:46.760
<v Speaker 5>at this point.

1:11:46.800 --> 1:11:48.639
<v Speaker 3>I don't think most of the league would have gone

1:11:48.640 --> 1:11:50.479
<v Speaker 3>for it there, and he wasn't doing that a year ago,

1:11:50.600 --> 1:11:53.120
<v Speaker 3>is what I'm saying. Todd Bowles knows that this might

1:11:53.160 --> 1:11:55.439
<v Speaker 3>be his last chance here and he's flying.

1:11:55.640 --> 1:11:57.760
<v Speaker 2>Can I just for the listeners that aren't aware, because

1:11:57.760 --> 1:11:59.720
<v Speaker 2>you're conflating it a little bit and maybe you're changing

1:11:59.760 --> 1:12:01.880
<v Speaker 2>your I'd said the Bulls of Sans was always kind

1:12:01.920 --> 1:12:03.960
<v Speaker 2>of the DC side of Todd Bowles, right.

1:12:03.920 --> 1:12:05.360
<v Speaker 3>I was back when he was the DCQ.

1:12:05.760 --> 1:12:07.920
<v Speaker 4>We've yet to see Todd really shine head.

1:12:08.240 --> 1:12:09.320
<v Speaker 3>He's a super Bowl champion.

1:12:09.360 --> 1:12:11.840
<v Speaker 2>Because let me look at it, because I have something

1:12:11.880 --> 1:12:15.960
<v Speaker 2>now that I've moved away from Power rankings, and check

1:12:16.000 --> 1:12:18.479
<v Speaker 2>out Eric ed Holme, who handles them now, and he

1:12:18.560 --> 1:12:21.000
<v Speaker 2>does a podcast. He took over the feed that Colleen

1:12:21.040 --> 1:12:23.240
<v Speaker 2>and I were on last year, and it's ed Holme

1:12:23.320 --> 1:12:27.000
<v Speaker 2>and Andrew Ceciliano and they are doing the damn thing. Sure,

1:12:28.760 --> 1:12:32.599
<v Speaker 2>the Bucks are the Classic win their first two games,

1:12:33.439 --> 1:12:36.800
<v Speaker 2>and then if you're doing power rankings, I'm like, what

1:12:36.920 --> 1:12:38.640
<v Speaker 2>are you doing they're gonna do with these guys, and

1:12:38.760 --> 1:12:40.640
<v Speaker 2>I put out I would probably put them at like

1:12:40.800 --> 1:12:43.479
<v Speaker 2>fifteen or something, and then a bunch of angry Bucks

1:12:43.520 --> 1:12:45.639
<v Speaker 2>and we should be in the top ten. There's only

1:12:45.800 --> 1:12:48.320
<v Speaker 2>five two and OHO teams and then it's like, okay,

1:12:48.439 --> 1:12:51.599
<v Speaker 2>let's go watch him against the Philly Philly Eagles next

1:12:51.640 --> 1:12:53.519
<v Speaker 2>week and then you tell me if they should still

1:12:53.560 --> 1:12:57.360
<v Speaker 2>be number seven in the league. Right, good setup for

1:12:57.400 --> 1:13:00.160
<v Speaker 2>them because and we touched on it, and yesterday the

1:13:00.240 --> 1:13:02.160
<v Speaker 2>Bears could not have had a worse start to their season.

1:13:02.439 --> 1:13:04.799
<v Speaker 2>The Chase Claypool stuff. He might not even be active

1:13:04.840 --> 1:13:06.960
<v Speaker 2>in this game. And to me, I know, Claypool's a

1:13:06.960 --> 1:13:09.560
<v Speaker 2>little bit of a mess potentially behind the scenes, Like

1:13:09.600 --> 1:13:11.599
<v Speaker 2>you give up a borderline first round pick for him.

1:13:11.600 --> 1:13:16.800
<v Speaker 2>That is mouth feasance in the front office. Uh, but

1:13:17.160 --> 1:13:20.760
<v Speaker 2>this type of stuff happening in week ahead of week

1:13:20.800 --> 1:13:22.760
<v Speaker 2>two is just not a good reflection of what's going

1:13:22.800 --> 1:13:24.000
<v Speaker 2>on in that building right now.

1:13:24.200 --> 1:13:24.720
<v Speaker 4>No, there is.

1:13:25.000 --> 1:13:28.680
<v Speaker 2>If I'm Adam Rank and Bears fans, I'm extremely, extremely

1:13:29.000 --> 1:13:31.759
<v Speaker 2>and I've lived through these type of scenes, toxic scenes,

1:13:31.800 --> 1:13:33.840
<v Speaker 2>and you watch your team go down the tubes early.

1:13:34.600 --> 1:13:37.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm very worried about what version of the Bear shows

1:13:37.080 --> 1:13:37.559
<v Speaker 2>up in this game.

1:13:37.680 --> 1:13:37.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

1:13:38.200 --> 1:13:41.640
<v Speaker 5>Dan Wider of the Chicago Tribune, how interesting tweet.

1:13:41.439 --> 1:13:43.679
<v Speaker 4>Got it yesterday? You talked about it yesterday.

1:13:43.800 --> 1:13:46.960
<v Speaker 5>I got it. Not maybe missing these Wednesday shows, but

1:13:47.080 --> 1:13:48.679
<v Speaker 5>do you. I found that to be pretty concerned.

1:13:48.800 --> 1:13:51.240
<v Speaker 3>Good to repeat it because many listeners may be miss.

1:13:51.080 --> 1:13:53.479
<v Speaker 5>Short it said they were to have shaken by the

1:13:53.560 --> 1:13:56.160
<v Speaker 5>week one performance, and that in my time covering the NFL,

1:13:56.200 --> 1:13:58.560
<v Speaker 5>I can't really remember a time. We're on Wednesday, a

1:13:58.640 --> 1:14:01.400
<v Speaker 5>week two, a building seems so apparently shaken by and

1:14:01.640 --> 1:14:02.439
<v Speaker 5>or short.

1:14:02.760 --> 1:14:04.600
<v Speaker 3>They were talking a big game this offseason, so is

1:14:04.640 --> 1:14:05.360
<v Speaker 3>their media.

1:14:05.160 --> 1:14:07.120
<v Speaker 5>They were, But if you so, I'm sure this wasn't

1:14:07.160 --> 1:14:09.880
<v Speaker 5>so much on the condensed version of last week's Bears game.

1:14:09.960 --> 1:14:12.600
<v Speaker 5>But in the second half, when it was clear the

1:14:12.680 --> 1:14:16.160
<v Speaker 5>Green Bay was dropping a bomb on them, the bench,

1:14:16.280 --> 1:14:18.680
<v Speaker 5>the players, they just looked totally broken, like they thought

1:14:18.760 --> 1:14:20.720
<v Speaker 5>they were a completely different team than they were. And

1:14:20.840 --> 1:14:23.280
<v Speaker 5>so that's when the floor can fall out. I mean again,

1:14:23.439 --> 1:14:27.000
<v Speaker 5>their offensive line looked like a absolute disaster, and it

1:14:27.240 --> 1:14:29.840
<v Speaker 5>feelds like you have to worry about his health in

1:14:29.960 --> 1:14:31.120
<v Speaker 5>general when the hands.

1:14:31.400 --> 1:14:31.760
<v Speaker 6>Of it too.

1:14:31.960 --> 1:14:34.519
<v Speaker 3>Hey, he was not good. He's so slow and people

1:14:34.640 --> 1:14:36.519
<v Speaker 3>and it was kind of like pick on Justin Fields

1:14:36.560 --> 1:14:39.479
<v Speaker 3>on film Twitter week and it was week one, but

1:14:39.520 --> 1:14:43.160
<v Speaker 3>people smarter than me. Alignement two. Just notice that everything's slow,

1:14:43.280 --> 1:14:45.800
<v Speaker 3>like his drops are slow, kind of mechanical where he's

1:14:45.880 --> 1:14:47.880
<v Speaker 3>thinking one, two, three, four, five, and it's just getting

1:14:48.120 --> 1:14:52.400
<v Speaker 3>back very slowly. And that certainly going through progressions. Sometimes

1:14:53.000 --> 1:14:55.599
<v Speaker 3>he holds the ball. That's what he did at Ohio State,

1:14:55.640 --> 1:14:57.160
<v Speaker 3>That's what he did here. Last week he had one

1:14:57.200 --> 1:14:59.360
<v Speaker 3>of the highest maybe the highest time to throw in

1:14:59.360 --> 1:15:02.280
<v Speaker 3>the league. So yeah, the offensive line is struggling, but

1:15:02.360 --> 1:15:05.280
<v Speaker 3>he's also taking a while to make decisions and that

1:15:05.600 --> 1:15:08.160
<v Speaker 3>that speaks to the offense being disjointed. And it's part

1:15:08.200 --> 1:15:09.920
<v Speaker 3>of partly why I'm worried about this team because I

1:15:10.280 --> 1:15:13.720
<v Speaker 3>don't know, coaching wise, have have we seen these guys

1:15:13.800 --> 1:15:16.000
<v Speaker 3>show a lot of answers on either side.

1:15:16.040 --> 1:15:17.560
<v Speaker 4>You know what, I'm rooting hard for the Bears in

1:15:17.640 --> 1:15:17.960
<v Speaker 4>this game.

1:15:18.240 --> 1:15:18.920
<v Speaker 3>They kind of need it.

1:15:18.960 --> 1:15:22.000
<v Speaker 2>It's really because the Chicago fans have been through a

1:15:22.080 --> 1:15:24.920
<v Speaker 2>lot of dysfunction and they don't have a lot of success.

1:15:25.000 --> 1:15:25.160
<v Speaker 3>Really.

1:15:25.240 --> 1:15:28.400
<v Speaker 4>People that are my age, for instance, don't have anything really.

1:15:29.040 --> 1:15:30.400
<v Speaker 3>But you know who's going to speed you up a

1:15:30.439 --> 1:15:33.000
<v Speaker 3>little bit. Bulls will be setting those double a gap

1:15:33.040 --> 1:15:34.559
<v Speaker 3>blitzes like he was twenty years ago.

1:15:34.680 --> 1:15:35.240
<v Speaker 5>I can't do this.

1:15:35.439 --> 1:15:36.400
<v Speaker 3>It's the same stuff.

1:15:37.040 --> 1:15:39.479
<v Speaker 5>What the Bulls business. We're back here. We're just back

1:15:39.520 --> 1:15:40.439
<v Speaker 5>with these hype jobs.

1:15:40.479 --> 1:15:42.080
<v Speaker 3>It's just like, okay, it's just kind of a fun

1:15:42.120 --> 1:15:43.840
<v Speaker 3>little story and they had like a fun nine week

1:15:43.920 --> 1:15:45.240
<v Speaker 3>that's excited sometimes.

1:15:45.360 --> 1:15:48.040
<v Speaker 5>One he had one daring maneuver as a head coach,

1:15:48.120 --> 1:15:49.719
<v Speaker 5>and we're we're putting their defense.

1:15:49.880 --> 1:15:52.439
<v Speaker 3>Their defense had a nice performance. Baker. By the way,

1:15:52.560 --> 1:15:55.720
<v Speaker 3>you know our Gregy Lowest time to throw his his

1:15:56.000 --> 1:15:59.880
<v Speaker 3>game last week. Time to throw and avoiding sacks was

1:16:00.040 --> 1:16:01.479
<v Speaker 3>better than it's been his whole career. Like if you

1:16:01.600 --> 1:16:03.400
<v Speaker 3>repeated that week week after week. He got rid of

1:16:03.439 --> 1:16:05.800
<v Speaker 3>the ball quickly and he avoided the sects slow start.

1:16:05.840 --> 1:16:07.680
<v Speaker 3>But I mean, yeah, if he's not going to make

1:16:07.760 --> 1:16:09.320
<v Speaker 3>mistakes like they got.

1:16:09.280 --> 1:16:10.600
<v Speaker 4>A chance, we know what Baker is.

1:16:10.880 --> 1:16:14.400
<v Speaker 3>I get excited, uited, want and then when it doesn't happen,

1:16:14.479 --> 1:16:16.160
<v Speaker 3>it's no, you don't.

1:16:16.200 --> 1:16:19.240
<v Speaker 5>But that's not it's the same people that we hear

1:16:19.600 --> 1:16:22.960
<v Speaker 5>are over inflated mentions. You know, I could lame those

1:16:23.000 --> 1:16:23.679
<v Speaker 5>five people.

1:16:23.600 --> 1:16:26.000
<v Speaker 4>All right, and that will say that for the Wednesday Show.

1:16:26.080 --> 1:16:29.360
<v Speaker 4>Next week, I'll see he'll be down there, Mark, you

1:16:29.600 --> 1:16:31.160
<v Speaker 4>are up your last pick of the draft.

1:16:31.280 --> 1:16:34.040
<v Speaker 5>All right, I'll go. I want to take a look

1:16:34.040 --> 1:16:34.960
<v Speaker 5>at Russell Wilson here.

1:16:35.439 --> 1:16:38.360
<v Speaker 4>We talked about him on the Wednesday Show. So much

1:16:38.400 --> 1:16:40.960
<v Speaker 4>to say here, just kidding, Go ahead, now, I know

1:16:41.120 --> 1:16:43.000
<v Speaker 4>to see he never even came up. You're all good,

1:16:43.120 --> 1:16:46.400
<v Speaker 4>Sam Howell, Russell Wilson, who doesn't like that?

1:16:47.120 --> 1:16:50.360
<v Speaker 5>I don't love it, Washington, but Washington getting three and

1:16:50.400 --> 1:16:51.840
<v Speaker 5>a half points, No, I don't love It's why the

1:16:51.960 --> 1:16:54.360
<v Speaker 5>second to last pick here. But I don't know. I

1:16:54.400 --> 1:16:57.400
<v Speaker 5>think I think more evidence and just more, more, more

1:16:57.520 --> 1:16:59.240
<v Speaker 5>quarters from Russell Wilson to see what he really is.

1:16:59.280 --> 1:17:01.400
<v Speaker 5>I thought he'd well, if you got what he was

1:17:01.560 --> 1:17:03.640
<v Speaker 5>last week, all of last season, he wouldn't have been

1:17:03.680 --> 1:17:06.519
<v Speaker 5>a conversation piece. He wasn't special or anything, but far

1:17:06.640 --> 1:17:10.679
<v Speaker 5>from a disaster. Howell to me, like what two hundred

1:17:10.680 --> 1:17:13.320
<v Speaker 5>and two yards thirty one attempts, turned the ball over twice?

1:17:14.160 --> 1:17:16.040
<v Speaker 5>I don't know if you can survive with that week

1:17:16.120 --> 1:17:20.160
<v Speaker 5>after week. He's a little spicy, obviously, but this Commander's

1:17:20.160 --> 1:17:22.960
<v Speaker 5>team nearly lost to the Cardinals, and I don't know.

1:17:23.000 --> 1:17:24.599
<v Speaker 5>I'm a little suspicious of the whole situation.

1:17:25.840 --> 1:17:27.960
<v Speaker 4>How about you, Greg, because you're pretty high on the

1:17:28.000 --> 1:17:29.080
<v Speaker 4>Commanders entering the season.

1:17:29.560 --> 1:17:32.759
<v Speaker 3>Faith they're not gonna be pretty. I'm a little worried.

1:17:32.920 --> 1:17:35.559
<v Speaker 3>How up and down it was Howell speaking of holding

1:17:35.600 --> 1:17:37.519
<v Speaker 3>the ball, held the ball forever in that game, and

1:17:37.600 --> 1:17:41.280
<v Speaker 3>some of those sacks were on him, but he's playing

1:17:41.320 --> 1:17:44.120
<v Speaker 3>a team of the Broncos who had the lowest pressure

1:17:44.200 --> 1:17:46.800
<v Speaker 3>rate in the league last week. Now, that part of

1:17:46.840 --> 1:17:48.599
<v Speaker 3>that's just Jimmy g getting rid of the ball quickly,

1:17:48.680 --> 1:17:54.680
<v Speaker 3>but the Broncos didn't show anything special defensively. And I

1:17:54.800 --> 1:17:57.360
<v Speaker 3>know this is an overreaction, it's definitely a hot take,

1:17:57.439 --> 1:18:02.160
<v Speaker 3>but when Seohn Peyton went for that, went for that

1:18:02.600 --> 1:18:06.360
<v Speaker 3>on side kick right at the gate, and then every

1:18:06.479 --> 1:18:07.839
<v Speaker 3>the whole crowd goes crazy.

1:18:07.600 --> 1:18:09.639
<v Speaker 4>Because everybody look at me, I'm Sean Payton.

1:18:09.800 --> 1:18:12.559
<v Speaker 3>The whole crack. And then when they took the flag

1:18:12.600 --> 1:18:14.960
<v Speaker 3>out and they announced the penalty, Yeah, that felt like

1:18:15.040 --> 1:18:16.479
<v Speaker 3>the end of the Sean Payton era to me.

1:18:18.160 --> 1:18:19.320
<v Speaker 4>Just now that's a take.

1:18:19.720 --> 1:18:21.760
<v Speaker 3>It just felt like that was such a bad open.

1:18:21.800 --> 1:18:23.240
<v Speaker 3>I don't mean it's all gonna get out the bunch

1:18:23.320 --> 1:18:27.320
<v Speaker 3>of burners. It was just like a wo wow. I'm

1:18:27.360 --> 1:18:29.360
<v Speaker 3>not saying they're not gonna win games. There won't be moments,

1:18:29.400 --> 1:18:31.560
<v Speaker 3>but it just was like, Oh, we're gonna try to

1:18:31.640 --> 1:18:33.519
<v Speaker 3>recreate something, but it just won't wit.

1:18:33.600 --> 1:18:35.719
<v Speaker 5>It was a massive wet fart.

1:18:36.160 --> 1:18:38.960
<v Speaker 4>I love it, and it was so close to working

1:18:39.600 --> 1:18:40.439
<v Speaker 4>that's what That's what I.

1:18:40.479 --> 1:18:43.360
<v Speaker 3>Mean, that's what convinced me that it's just not gonna happen,

1:18:43.400 --> 1:18:45.360
<v Speaker 3>because it's just the way they just pulled.

1:18:45.160 --> 1:18:47.280
<v Speaker 5>The rug out from under you at the end of

1:18:47.320 --> 1:18:50.000
<v Speaker 5>the era already that is this could be a.

1:18:50.720 --> 1:18:52.720
<v Speaker 3>There's no way this this is gonna come down to

1:18:52.760 --> 1:18:55.719
<v Speaker 3>the last possession. Right, There's these two teams just seem destined.

1:18:55.800 --> 1:18:58.680
<v Speaker 4>I believe this has got seventeen sixteen written all over.

1:18:59.479 --> 1:18:59.920
<v Speaker 4>What do you think?

1:19:00.040 --> 1:19:02.320
<v Speaker 2>Javonte Williams, he got a lot, He got a little

1:19:02.360 --> 1:19:05.600
<v Speaker 2>more run than I was expecting for good, devastating me.

1:19:05.800 --> 1:19:08.160
<v Speaker 5>Peyton said like last week before the game that he

1:19:08.320 --> 1:19:09.200
<v Speaker 5>was ready to use him a.

1:19:09.200 --> 1:19:12.519
<v Speaker 3>Lot better than I thought season. I thought he looked fine. Yeah,

1:19:12.520 --> 1:19:13.920
<v Speaker 3>I thought he looked pretty good. If it was p

1:19:14.080 --> 1:19:15.519
<v Speaker 3>Ryan who drove me a little crazy. He had that

1:19:15.600 --> 1:19:18.280
<v Speaker 3>one third and one where he had all sorts of

1:19:18.320 --> 1:19:20.200
<v Speaker 3>space and he bounces outside and doesn't pick it up.

1:19:20.280 --> 1:19:22.120
<v Speaker 3>Ended up being a big moment in that game.

1:19:23.280 --> 1:19:25.479
<v Speaker 2>Greg Dulsich their tight end. He I think he's up

1:19:25.520 --> 1:19:29.920
<v Speaker 2>in the air. He got banged up last week, and

1:19:30.320 --> 1:19:34.040
<v Speaker 2>uh yeah, sounds like Jerry Judy could play. That would

1:19:34.040 --> 1:19:36.519
<v Speaker 2>be very helpful. And let's see if Russell Wilson could

1:19:36.560 --> 1:19:39.880
<v Speaker 2>string together some improved games. I thought it was a

1:19:39.880 --> 1:19:41.679
<v Speaker 2>little bit of a step up last week, but nothing

1:19:41.720 --> 1:19:43.800
<v Speaker 2>that was like a little rise to the level of

1:19:44.120 --> 1:19:44.479
<v Speaker 2>his page.

1:19:44.600 --> 1:19:45.000
<v Speaker 7>And I get it.

1:19:45.080 --> 1:19:48.200
<v Speaker 3>They only had three possessions in the second half and

1:19:48.320 --> 1:19:50.080
<v Speaker 3>they tried to kick a field go on two of them.

1:19:50.120 --> 1:19:52.559
<v Speaker 3>So it wasn't like a nothing was disastrous, but there

1:19:52.720 --> 1:19:56.160
<v Speaker 3>wasn't much that you were like, okay, great. It was

1:19:56.240 --> 1:19:59.400
<v Speaker 3>a very condensed offense. And I think this Commander's d

1:19:59.479 --> 1:20:00.720
<v Speaker 3>line that was why I was high on him. I

1:20:00.760 --> 1:20:04.639
<v Speaker 3>thought they'll be talented enough on offense and really good

1:20:04.720 --> 1:20:06.800
<v Speaker 3>in terms of their defensive line that they can ugly

1:20:06.880 --> 1:20:08.160
<v Speaker 3>into about nine or ten wins.

1:20:08.200 --> 1:20:12.280
<v Speaker 5>So I could still see the Jared Stidham era beginning

1:20:12.320 --> 1:20:14.479
<v Speaker 5>at some point, even though apparently the Sean Payton aerra

1:20:14.479 --> 1:20:15.120
<v Speaker 5>has already ended.

1:20:15.280 --> 1:20:18.880
<v Speaker 2>So that would be let's ride three and a half points,

1:20:19.040 --> 1:20:21.200
<v Speaker 2>the Broncos laying the wood in that one.

1:20:21.200 --> 1:20:22.519
<v Speaker 4>All right, we got one last game.

1:20:22.640 --> 1:20:25.400
<v Speaker 3>I like the Commanders there, I come straight up, there's.

1:20:25.200 --> 1:20:26.519
<v Speaker 4>One more game in the board. Oof.

1:20:26.600 --> 1:20:28.760
<v Speaker 5>Oh well this is not this is kind of a

1:20:28.880 --> 1:20:29.479
<v Speaker 5>nice You know what.

1:20:29.520 --> 1:20:31.439
<v Speaker 2>If I had to choose between the one we just

1:20:31.520 --> 1:20:33.200
<v Speaker 2>did in this, I would choose this because I was

1:20:33.720 --> 1:20:38.559
<v Speaker 2>I was legitimately like, okay, Colts, we're on offense.

1:20:38.600 --> 1:20:41.280
<v Speaker 5>I was like, what about on defense? Okay, yeah, they

1:20:41.320 --> 1:20:42.840
<v Speaker 5>had Buckner and friends.

1:20:43.080 --> 1:20:44.960
<v Speaker 4>They had they had I thought for.

1:20:45.000 --> 1:20:47.120
<v Speaker 2>A team, I think they lost by ten points at home,

1:20:47.200 --> 1:20:50.320
<v Speaker 2>but like you know, for week one, for a team

1:20:50.360 --> 1:20:54.240
<v Speaker 2>with no expectations after a hideous summer with the Jonathan

1:20:54.280 --> 1:20:57.880
<v Speaker 2>Taylor stuff, I thought Anthony Richardson played better than I

1:20:57.960 --> 1:20:58.519
<v Speaker 2>was expecting.

1:20:58.560 --> 1:20:59.200
<v Speaker 4>As a passer.

1:21:00.520 --> 1:21:02.960
<v Speaker 2>I saw what Trevor Lawrence was talking about when I

1:21:03.000 --> 1:21:06.280
<v Speaker 2>watched the game, that there were some unnecessary hits that

1:21:06.360 --> 1:21:08.640
<v Speaker 2>he took that he's gonna have to be careful with

1:21:09.640 --> 1:21:12.840
<v Speaker 2>because that's gonna end him real quick as a rookie

1:21:12.920 --> 1:21:15.280
<v Speaker 2>this year, he was banged up, but he's gonna be

1:21:15.320 --> 1:21:17.320
<v Speaker 2>playing in this game. But in general, I thought he

1:21:17.479 --> 1:21:19.200
<v Speaker 2>was kind of a fun guy to watch and you

1:21:19.360 --> 1:21:23.120
<v Speaker 2>saw you saw it like you could see where as

1:21:23.160 --> 1:21:26.920
<v Speaker 2>he gets more and more comfortable in this offense, he

1:21:27.120 --> 1:21:29.320
<v Speaker 2>is going to he's gonna make big plays for them,

1:21:29.520 --> 1:21:33.120
<v Speaker 2>obviously with his arm and legs. So I'm interested in

1:21:33.160 --> 1:21:36.040
<v Speaker 2>the Colts the offensive line. I thought was better. That's

1:21:36.080 --> 1:21:37.960
<v Speaker 2>a major point of this team. And then the Texans

1:21:37.960 --> 1:21:41.240
<v Speaker 2>are still kind of a blank slate to me, Colts

1:21:41.400 --> 1:21:43.759
<v Speaker 2>just laying one point in this one. So the Desert

1:21:43.840 --> 1:21:47.680
<v Speaker 2>sees it very close. Your thoughts, guys, on what you're

1:21:47.680 --> 1:21:49.880
<v Speaker 2>seeing from the Texans so far and looking at.

1:21:49.880 --> 1:21:53.799
<v Speaker 5>Him, I'm be a little concerned about c J. Stroud

1:21:54.000 --> 1:21:58.040
<v Speaker 5>in this game. With Laramie Tunsel dealing with a knee issue.

1:21:58.280 --> 1:22:00.720
<v Speaker 5>He may play, but he's not like that line like

1:22:00.760 --> 1:22:02.719
<v Speaker 5>a couple months ago, looked like it could be a strength,

1:22:03.080 --> 1:22:05.599
<v Speaker 5>and they're banked up all over the place. I don't

1:22:05.640 --> 1:22:07.920
<v Speaker 5>love that for them, But I thought, you know, he

1:22:08.000 --> 1:22:11.080
<v Speaker 5>looked pretty good. I thought, for he's just gonna take time.

1:22:11.479 --> 1:22:14.320
<v Speaker 5>But I think that CJ. Stroud does some things really well.

1:22:14.439 --> 1:22:16.800
<v Speaker 5>And for me, it's just that I also trust their

1:22:16.880 --> 1:22:20.000
<v Speaker 5>defense under Tmiko Ryans to be much better than they

1:22:20.000 --> 1:22:21.840
<v Speaker 5>were a year ago. They were terrible against the run

1:22:21.960 --> 1:22:24.800
<v Speaker 5>last year. But then you've got the Colts throwing Dion

1:22:25.000 --> 1:22:28.479
<v Speaker 5>Jackson at you, who ran for fourteen yards on thirteen

1:22:28.520 --> 1:22:30.000
<v Speaker 5>attempts and had two lost fumbles.

1:22:31.439 --> 1:22:33.599
<v Speaker 3>They've had a lot of injuries and the Texans are

1:22:33.640 --> 1:22:35.880
<v Speaker 3>just one of those teams that can't afford a lot

1:22:35.960 --> 1:22:39.439
<v Speaker 3>of injuries. Jalen Peatree, they're a defensive captain, their second

1:22:39.520 --> 1:22:42.439
<v Speaker 3>year player, they just love had that bruised lung. He's

1:22:42.479 --> 1:22:45.880
<v Speaker 3>out of practice. Jimmy Ward, the safety has a hip injury.

1:22:45.960 --> 1:22:48.479
<v Speaker 3>He's out of practice. And that safety tandem, to me,

1:22:49.040 --> 1:22:50.920
<v Speaker 3>had a chance. And Texans fans were talking about this

1:22:51.000 --> 1:22:54.040
<v Speaker 3>offse to be one of, if not the best safety

1:22:54.080 --> 1:22:55.800
<v Speaker 3>tandems in the entire league. So that was gonna be

1:22:55.920 --> 1:22:58.240
<v Speaker 3>like part of their identity. Their offensive line was going

1:22:58.280 --> 1:22:59.600
<v Speaker 3>to be part of their identity. So a lot of

1:22:59.640 --> 1:23:01.880
<v Speaker 3>bad life. I'm with you on Stroud. I know he

1:23:01.920 --> 1:23:04.360
<v Speaker 3>didn't grade out well in PFF and he was in

1:23:04.640 --> 1:23:07.519
<v Speaker 3>third and really long situations a lot. And he did

1:23:07.640 --> 1:23:09.519
<v Speaker 3>make a lot of rookie mistakes where he held on

1:23:09.640 --> 1:23:13.320
<v Speaker 3>to his progression too long. But he had about six

1:23:13.479 --> 1:23:16.920
<v Speaker 3>or seven real professional throws like deep out see that

1:23:17.000 --> 1:23:20.240
<v Speaker 3>every anticipation, and that if you're a rookie on a

1:23:20.280 --> 1:23:23.040
<v Speaker 3>bad team, that gives you hope, because not every rookie

1:23:23.400 --> 1:23:26.280
<v Speaker 3>shows that right off the bat. So I'm with you,

1:23:26.320 --> 1:23:27.680
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what to see in this game. We

1:23:27.800 --> 1:23:29.400
<v Speaker 3>never mentioned Will Anderson looked great.

1:23:30.680 --> 1:23:33.280
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna say that That's one thing that jumped

1:23:33.320 --> 1:23:36.240
<v Speaker 2>out to me about the Texans that Will Anderson looks

1:23:36.360 --> 1:23:38.920
<v Speaker 2>like a can't miss dude who he had a sack,

1:23:39.360 --> 1:23:43.120
<v Speaker 2>two QB hits, six pressures, that's fourth.

1:23:42.920 --> 1:23:45.519
<v Speaker 4>In the league. And I know Jalen Carter had a

1:23:45.560 --> 1:23:46.479
<v Speaker 4>big week one as well.

1:23:46.640 --> 1:23:49.559
<v Speaker 2>So you look at like some of the young defensive

1:23:49.560 --> 1:23:52.400
<v Speaker 2>players and that came into the league this year, Anderson

1:23:52.439 --> 1:23:54.120
<v Speaker 2>looks like a hit for them. And then on the

1:23:54.160 --> 1:23:56.880
<v Speaker 2>Colt side, one other point, Michael Pittman's an important guy

1:23:56.920 --> 1:23:59.280
<v Speaker 2>for them, and you want to see that chemistry between

1:24:00.080 --> 1:24:02.680
<v Speaker 2>Pittman and Richardson, and he saw it. Eleven targets, eight

1:24:02.760 --> 1:24:05.639
<v Speaker 2>for ninety seven, had a touchdown. So I just saw

1:24:05.640 --> 1:24:09.080
<v Speaker 2>it in general, especially with how shaky things felt for

1:24:09.120 --> 1:24:11.880
<v Speaker 2>the Cults entering the year, that stich In might have

1:24:12.040 --> 1:24:16.000
<v Speaker 2>this team in a good place offensively as the year

1:24:16.080 --> 1:24:16.840
<v Speaker 2>goes along.

1:24:16.680 --> 1:24:18.920
<v Speaker 5>They need to like the one thing they struggled with

1:24:18.960 --> 1:24:20.519
<v Speaker 5>a week ago. I think they were one for five

1:24:20.600 --> 1:24:23.920
<v Speaker 5>on fourth downs. They struggled in short yardage in general.

1:24:24.120 --> 1:24:25.519
<v Speaker 4>They tried to do this did the Jaguars.

1:24:25.560 --> 1:24:27.519
<v Speaker 3>That was a little bunky that everyone thinks it was

1:24:27.560 --> 1:24:29.080
<v Speaker 3>like Oh, we got to make a rule against the.

1:24:29.280 --> 1:24:32.439
<v Speaker 5>The you gotta be otherwise we don't need any If.

1:24:32.360 --> 1:24:34.320
<v Speaker 3>Everyone could do it, everyone would be doing it. Last

1:24:34.320 --> 1:24:37.480
<v Speaker 3>week I saw it fail a couple of times. Richardson's

1:24:37.479 --> 1:24:40.000
<v Speaker 3>such a strange player though. I mean, he's so electric

1:24:40.120 --> 1:24:43.720
<v Speaker 3>and so exciting, and he may he's really good at

1:24:43.800 --> 1:24:45.400
<v Speaker 3>like some of the harder decision I think he makes

1:24:45.479 --> 1:24:47.800
<v Speaker 3>good decisions and he like he goes through his progressions,

1:24:47.840 --> 1:24:50.040
<v Speaker 3>but like you just don't know where the ball is

1:24:50.080 --> 1:24:52.439
<v Speaker 3>gonna go. So that is a little like like I

1:24:52.479 --> 1:24:55.320
<v Speaker 3>think his bad play is like he actually he made

1:24:55.400 --> 1:24:57.880
<v Speaker 3>good decisions and then just the ball was like five

1:24:57.960 --> 1:24:59.960
<v Speaker 3>feet off and that that is a little where he's

1:25:00.080 --> 1:25:01.679
<v Speaker 3>But he made some really good good places.

1:25:02.160 --> 1:25:04.400
<v Speaker 4>Watch this one closer. Yeah, I thought I thought his

1:25:04.439 --> 1:25:06.320
<v Speaker 4>accuracy was pretty good in this game or raw, but

1:25:06.560 --> 1:25:07.960
<v Speaker 4>they must have missed it more throus.

1:25:08.080 --> 1:25:10.200
<v Speaker 5>They were three for seventeen on third and fourth downs

1:25:10.280 --> 1:25:10.639
<v Speaker 5>last week.

1:25:10.840 --> 1:25:12.839
<v Speaker 4>You have got to get it out of their Stroud

1:25:13.200 --> 1:25:17.400
<v Speaker 4>was pressured eighteen times on forty six dropbacks. So yeah,

1:25:17.520 --> 1:25:20.519
<v Speaker 4>that is an opportunity for the cults that they can

1:25:20.600 --> 1:25:22.800
<v Speaker 4>go to some business in their pass rush. All right,

1:25:24.080 --> 1:25:27.200
<v Speaker 4>that's it. Let's Week two again.

1:25:27.320 --> 1:25:31.360
<v Speaker 2>Thursday Night football, Greg and I both locking up the

1:25:31.479 --> 1:25:34.760

1:25:34.840 --> 1:25:36.960
