Speaker 2: said it to you last week.

14
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 3: I might, I might. I don't know. I might need to,

15
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 3: you know, throw it out.

16
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 2: To you in the flat a little bit more often

17
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,599
Speaker 2: than usual tonight because I'm about to get distracted here

18
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 2: in thirteen minutes.

19
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 3: But I promise all I'll hang with you, and I can't.

20
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 2: Wait to go through all of these games that have

21
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 2: just unfolded.

22
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: Oh, I appreciate it. Mark, definitely a great day.

23
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 4: If he if I got to go out in the

24
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 4: flat and catch balls in the flat today is certainly

25
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 4: a great day. You know, the NFL is such an

26
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 4: interesting league. You know, you look at all the games

27
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 4: that were played today and you know, certainly we've talked

28
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 4: about San fran and Philly. We've talked about Miami Buffalo,

29
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 4: all these teams that with Kansas City, all these teams

30
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,839
Speaker 4: that we think are kind of just above everyone else.

31
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 4: And you know, you watch the league, certainly you have

32
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 4: San Francisco. They played Dallas tonight. We'll find out they

33
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 4: got a test between those two. Philly does what Philly does.

34
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 4: Jalen Hurts is only lost in the regular season one time,

35
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 4: I think in his career, and everybody else just kind

36
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 4: of beats up on each other. Like I feel like

37
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 4: everybody else is like the Rams that we just as

38
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 4: soon as you think you figure somebody out, we go

39
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 4: and complement the Bills because they beat the Dolphins and

40
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 4: then they go across the pond and lose to the Jaguars.

41
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 4: And you know, remind me if you've heard this before,

42
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 4: Anthony Richardson leaves in a Colts win. Just every week

43
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 4: we want to talk about all these teams from top

44
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 4: to bottom, when realistically, right the only ones you can

45
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 4: count on two that are playing tonight, and arguably the

46
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,239
Speaker 4: Philadelphia Eagles, because you know they're here. They are five

47
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 4: and oh again, here they are.

48
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 2: Five and oh again. And in fact, with so many

49
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 2: things to talk about, why don't we start with that one?

50
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 3: Kyle, I don't know. Are you a golfer? By the way,

51
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 3: do you enjoy playing golf?

52
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 4: I enjoy playing golf. I think giving myself the term

53
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 4: a golfer would be a huge disrespect to all those

54
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 4: that are actually good golfers. But I love the game

55
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 4: of golf. I'm just not as good as I would

56
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 4: like to be.

57
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 2: Well, that probably describes just about all of us. But

58
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 2: here's why I ask. There are a number of courses,

59
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 2: private courses, things like that, fancy places around the nation

60
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 2: that have a pretty strict dress code play golf. Right,

61
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 2: collared shirt, you might need to wear slacks, you got

62
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 2: to tuck it in, certain pairs of shoes that you

63
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:11,119
Speaker 2: have to wear. But then your average everyday course there

64
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 2: are no rules necessarily like that, but you're not going

65
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 2: to show up with denim shorts, flip flops and a

66
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 2: T shirt with lunch stains all over it. It's not illegal,

67
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 2: but it's a bad look. And you know exactly where

68
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 2: I'm going. The Philadelphia Eagles and the Brotherly Shove, Kyle.

69
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 2: It's not illegal, but it's a bad look. So what

70
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 2: does the league do about this? Because again, it was

71
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 2: used at a key moment right before the half. Eagles

72
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: go in take the lead with two seconds left to

73
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 2: go in that half, and it was a lead they

74
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 2: would never give up.

75
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 4: Again, yeah, it's a play that even Philadelphia does better

76
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 4: than the rest of the league. During that broadcast, they

77
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 4: threw up a statistic and Philadelphia executes that play at

78
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 4: a fifteen percent higher rate than the rest of the league.

79
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 4: So on third and fourth and one, when they line

80
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 4: up in the Brotherly Shove, they are converting at a

81
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 4: fifteen percent higher rate than everyone else in the league.

82
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 4: And quite honestly, I think it's the league will probably

83
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 4: come in and intervene because there is nothing illegal about it.

84
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 4: It's just simply unstoppable from the Eagles standpoint. And part

85
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 4: of the reason why it's unstoppable from the Eagle standpoint

86
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 4: is the personnel that they have that they run it with. Certainly,

87
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 4: we're seeing teams all across the league that are starting

88
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 4: to imitate it and try to run it. But when

89
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 4: you have a guy like Jason Kelce at center, who

90
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 4: isn't the tallest center in the world, isn't the biggest

91
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 4: center in the world, but is a guy who has

92
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 4: this you know, wrestling background, he gets down nice and low.

93
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 4: It's almost turning into a rugby scrum. So if I'm

94
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 4: a defensive coordinator, especially a defensive coordinator in the NFC East,

95
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 4: and I need to figure out how to stop this,

96
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 4: I might go and, you know, give a rugby team

97
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 4: a call, you know, maybe go down to get the

98
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 4: All Blacks or somebody give them a call, be like, hey,

99
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 4: how do you guys stop a scrum?

100
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: Because that's that's essentially what it is.

101
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 4: You know, they're they're creating a scrum and then the

102
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 4: guys are coming back and pushing the pile. And they

103
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 4: actually tried it at the end of the game on

104
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 4: it was it was fourth and a long two and

105
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 4: Jalen Hurts still almost got it. So, I mean, it

106
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 4: gets one almost one hundred percent of the time, and

107
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 4: they almost got too. At the end of the evening

108
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 4: they went back and reviewed the spot. Ultimately he was

109
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 4: short and that he turned the ball over, gave the

110
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 4: ball back to the Rams and you know, gave him

111
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 4: a chance down a couple scores to try to clw back.

112
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 4: But it's it's it's something that the league is going

113
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 4: to come in and they they may blame layer safety

114
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 4: and say it's not a safe play and we don't

115
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 4: want this scrum in our game. You know, ultimately that's

116
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 4: going to be the decision. But there is there is

117
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 4: nothing illegal about it. It's just unstoppable from a Philly standpoint.

118
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it was interesting. You and I were

119
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 2: texting about this today and I asked you before I

120
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 2: gave you what I was thinking, you know, your thoughts, like,

121
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 2: do you think this should be made illegal? And your

122
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 2: immediate response was no. And I get where you're coming from,

123
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 2: which is to say that the rules of football are there,

124
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 2: the physicality of it, you've removed from the game, the

125
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 2: idea that it's illegal to push a ball career, You've

126
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 2: already removed that from the game, So why would you

127
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 2: make this illegal? And while I understand that, I understand

128
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 2: that sort of like snap response, I guess I would

129
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 2: come back and say, well, wait a minute, this is

130
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 2: an entertainment entity and it is a league that has

131
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 2: done this all the time. There are certain ways of

132
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 2: tackling people that were not illegal for years. And I

133
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 2: know you're going to point out, like, as you just said,

134
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 2: they'll maybe they'll hide behind player safety, what have you.

135
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 2: But you know this, the league does all kinds of

136
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 2: things simply because they don't like the way that it

137
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 2: looks on TV, and they don't like the way this

138
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 2: looks for their audience. And if you are pretty much,

139
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 2: the way this normally goes is they'll talk about it

140
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 2: for a couple of years, then they'll change it. Then

141
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 2: anybody who's already had their fifty fifth birthday complains about

142
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 2: it for about a year and a half, and then

143
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 2: it goes away and we get to the point where

144
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 2: we don't even remember what it used to be. Like,

145
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 2: think of all the different evolutionary things that have happened

146
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 2: in terms of rules in football. When I watch this,

147
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 2: and I told you this earlier, I'm like, I can't

148
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 2: come up with a great reason why it should be illegal,

149
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 2: other than to say it just should. It should because

150
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 2: because it doesn't look good to have Jalen Hurts just

151
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 2: grab the snap, cover up the ball, and then go

152
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 2: into a big swarm of people and.

153
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 3: End up wherever you end up.

154
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 2: There's just a there's a huge lack of skill, and

155
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 2: we call them skill positions, and I think that that's

156
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 2: why the league is not is not going to stick

157
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 2: with this.

158
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 4: But my rebuttal to that would be that Philly is

159
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 4: skilled at it, and it's a skill that they're clearly

160
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 4: mastering better than the entire rest of the league. They're

161
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 4: operating at a fifteen percent higher conversion percentage on it,

162
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 4: and they do it better than everyone else. Now, I'm

163
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 4: not saying that I disagree with you that the league

164
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:43,959
Speaker 4: is going to come in and probably say it's unsafe.

165
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 4: We don't want our fifty five million dollar quarterbacks going

166
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 4: into piles of twenty other guys and you know, having

167
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 4: those bodies everywhere. But I will also say this, when

168
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 4: are they running these plays? Usually it's on third and

169
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 4: fourth and one, And what does the league want? They're

170
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 4: offensive players on the field more scoring more points. So

171
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 4: ultimately this play is keeping Philly in their offense and

172
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 4: whoever is deciding to use it on the field to

173
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 4: potentially score more points.

174
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 1: So they might not love what that play looks.

175
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 4: Like, but they certainly love that it keeps their incredibly

176
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 4: high paid quarterbacks and skill players on the field to

177
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 4: score more points.

178
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,079
Speaker 2: It's an interesting point.

179
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 3: It's an interesting point.

180
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 2: I just think that there's something that doesn't feel right

181
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 2: to people in sports by definition competition. I'm gonna try

182
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 2: what I do, you try what you do. Let's see

183
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 2: who wins this play. And I know you're making some

184
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 2: really good points that this is it's not a FATA company,

185
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 2: but it feels that way. I don't know that I've

186
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 2: ever seen this, certainly not with the Eagles. I haven't

187
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 2: said it not work. So we don't want to sit

188
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 2: down to watch a play to where if you get

189
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 2: to fourth and one, you automatically win, you automatically get

190
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 2: a first down, because it feels.

191
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 3: Like there's no way to stop it.

192
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 2: Maybe somebody will get into the lab and figure out

193
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,319
Speaker 2: how to do it. Like you said, let's call a

194
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 2: rugby team, let's call the All Blacks and find out

195
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 2: how the heck you can stop this thing. Maybe it's

196
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 2: the personnel, best offensive line in football, Jalen Hurts, etc.

197
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 2: Right now, the fans of the NFL across the country

198
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,559
Speaker 2: feel like as soon as they see that, for me,

199
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 2: the play's over. You can go get a snack, you

200
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 2: can go to the restroom. I already know how this

201
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 2: is going to end.

202
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 4: First down, yeah for me, And quite honestly, I'm waiting.

203
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 4: I'm waiting for them to do something off of it.

204
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 4: And maybe again, yeah, I think I can't remember what

205
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 4: the exact statistics were. There was about a fifteen percent difference,

206
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 4: So say Philly, they they are not one hundred percent.

207
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 4: I do know that it was in the high nineties

208
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 4: and the rest of the league was in the low

209
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 4: eighties in terms of conversion percentage on this brotherly shove

210
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 4: play on third and fourth and one. So I'm just

211
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 4: waiting for Philly and you see it. Everybody knows it's coming.

212
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 4: There's five defense alignment in between the two guards in

213
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 4: the center. Jalen Hurts gets in his crouch and I like,

214
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 4: at some point, I'm just waiting for him to take

215
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 4: a step, like he's gonna run the brotherly shove, And

216
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 4: then where's aj Brown, Where's Devonte Smith? Where's DeAndre Swift?

217
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 4: Like just pitching one of those the guys the ball,

218
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 4: and all of a sudden they're gone, Like cause, yeah,

219
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 4: all eleven players of the defense are in the middle

220
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 4: of the line of scrimmage.

221
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: So again like and that's that's to me.

222
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 4: What says if you're the league like you can't like

223
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 4: it is the defensive coordinators responsibility and defense a line

224
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 4: coaches responsibility to figure out how to stop it. And

225
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 4: when they figure out how to stop it, Well, I

226
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 4: hope because I'm an offensive guy, So then I hope

227
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 4: now he is an offensive guy. Okay, great, you figured

228
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 4: out how to stop it when you know it's coming.

229
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 4: But what if I do something off of it? We

230
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 4: get in that formation and there's another play to it.

231
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 4: So I just feel like there is gamesmanship and there

232
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 4: is skill that's involved in it. Defenses just haven't stopped

233
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 4: it yet, so why would you do anything off of

234
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 4: it at this point?

235
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 2: More on that coming up, but also coming it'll be underway.

236
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 2: There will be two quarterbacks on the field tonight who

237
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 2: both are looking to change a narrative. However, for both

238
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 2: of them, the narrative is very different. We'll get to

239
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 2: that in just a moment. Brought to you by Progressive Insurance.

Speaker 2: to talk a little bit about managerial decisions and what

249
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 2: may have occurred to the dugout maybe in the nineteen eighties.

250
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: It's the Book of Joe podcasts.

251

Speaker 5: I can't wait for this, Joe. We're going to dive

00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,680

263
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 2: tie reg dot com studios. And Kyle, I keep hearing

264
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 2: the word pressure people love to look at a game

265
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 2: like this and say who's got more pressure on them?

266
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 2: Who needs it? More? Conventional wisdom will tell you Dallas Cowboys,

267
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 2: because they have not been able to get over on

268
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers, especially recently, the forty nine ers

269
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 2: have been on the team, the team on the field

270
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 2: when the Cowboys season has ended now two years in

271
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 2: a row, throwing the Trey Lance factor, and this one

272
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 2: is about as juicy as ever. But I don't necessarily

273
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 2: think of the word pressure when I look at these

274
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 2: two quarterbacks. I think of opportunity. And I'll explain a

275
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 2: little bit more on that here coming up in a second.

276
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 2: But before we get started here, I want to know

277
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 2: what you think is about to happen. What do you

278
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 2: think this is going to look like tonight?

279
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 4: You know you brought up the word opportunity, and I

280
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 4: think both of these quarterbacks have a huge opportunity. You

281
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 4: look at just the way the season's gone to this point.

282
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 4: You know, you got three and one, four and zero.

283
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 4: Neither one, neither one of these guys are getting any

284
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 4: credit for the way that that start has happened. You know,

285
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 4: with Dak he's just over seventy one completion percentage, she's

286
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 4: got four touchdowns, one pick. The numbers don't really jump

287
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 4: off the page, and now you can get into well

288
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 4: why is that? And you know, we talked about it

289
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 4: a little bit during our first show on Sunday Night

290
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 4: against the Giants, like you can't put up numbers when

291
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 4: you're not on the field because the other team is

292
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 4: just giving up touchdowns on special teams and defense and

293
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 4: you fumble in the ball, you got thirty yards of

294
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 4: a short field and then you know, you look at

295
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 4: Brock and we talk about seventy two point three percent

296
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 4: completion percentage, five touchdown passes, one pick. But it's always

297
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 4: the talent around him. It's all the high paid guys.

298
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 4: Christian McCaffrey's an MVP candidate, both of these guys on

299
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 4: Sunday Night football, And you know, it's it's funny because

300
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 4: this is a huge opportunity, but it's also Week five, Like, right,

301
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 4: Jak and Dallas could could lose tonight. If you say, hey, Dak, here,

302
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 4: you could play terrible tonight or you can win against

303
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 4: forty nine ers in the Divisional round of the playoff

304
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 4: later this year. Which one would you rather have? And

305
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 4: he's going to take that one every single time because

306
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 4: that's why the pressure is on him. And then with Brock,

307
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 4: there's no pressure on this kid. He's the last pick

308
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 4: in the draft. You know, nobody's expected him to get

309
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 4: to where he is now, and no one certainly thinks

310
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 4: that he's the reason why they're having this success. So again,

311
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 4: I love the word opportunity that you use there, because

312
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 4: both of these guys have a huge opportunity to go

313
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 4: out here tonight. I can't tell you which one. I

314
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 4: would love to see both of them go out and

315
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 4: just put up big numbers. And again, these are two

316
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 4: really good defenses. And I'm biased because I'm an offensive

317
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 4: player and I love points. I just want to see

318
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 4: all kinds of points. And you know these guys making

319
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 4: big throws, setting their team up to score points, and

320
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 4: scoring points themselves with big passes in the red zone.

321
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 2: Well, I will tell you they got a sneaky suspicion

322
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:06,959
Speaker 2: that this is going to be higher scoring than people think.

323
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 2: Maybe it's a simplistic opinion when you look at why

324
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 2: they played in the playoffs last year. And I know

325
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 2: different teams different year, but nineteen to twelve was the

326
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 2: final the defenses were clearly better. The over under in

327
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 2: Vegas for this game is forty five, and when I

328
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 2: see something like that, I'm like, why, what do you know, Vegas?

329
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 2: Why do you think there's gonna be six touchdowns in

330
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 2: this game? And you're right, we do think these are

331
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 2: the two best or two of the best defenses in

332
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 2: the game. However, I also would argue, especially in Dallas's case,

333
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 2: you've got three victories on the year, They've come against

334
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 2: three of the most inept quarterback situations, inept offenses in

335
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 2: the whole NFL. They've got three wins. Mac Jones, Daniel Jones,

336
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 2: Zach Wilson. So I think there's plenty to prove there.

337
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 2: Niner defense two, they've been very, very good, but the

338
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 2: ball is been moved on them a little bit here

339
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 2: and there. I think that quarterbacks are clearly trying to

340
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 2: get the ball out of their hands immediately going against

341
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 2: that pass rush. It's clear to me that the offensive

342
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 2: coordinators on the other side are definitely doing that. But

343
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 2: it's worked. It's worked to a certain degree. Stafford had

344
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 2: them on their heels a little bit until there was

345
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 2: a deflection interception, and so I wonder I think these

346
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 2: defenses are very good, but I wonder if they're really

347
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 2: as dominant as we think, or if it has been

348
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 2: at list at least a tinge matchup dependent so far

349
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:34,360
Speaker 2: this year.

350
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 4: You know, I think at times, certainly in Dallas's case,

351
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 4: you can look at just the pure lack of a

352
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 4: strength as schedule through the first four games. I mean,

353
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 4: you got one and four, one and four and two

354
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 4: and three, a combined record for the three teams they

355
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 4: played prior to with you know, you mentioned Dallas. Arizona

356
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 4: is another one that they lost to. You have the Jets,

357
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 4: Like you didn't even mention the ineptitude of the Arizona

358
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 4: Cardinals quarterback situation.

359
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 2: And wait that day, Yeah, that day they beat Dallas.

360
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 4: So I mean you're talking about a guy that got

361
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 4: there a week before the season started, and you know,

362
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 4: Josh Dobbs kind of showed that he was human today

363
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 4: throwing his first two picks against the Bengals. But you know, again,

364
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:26,360
Speaker 4: like you look at this Dallas team and we gave

365
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 4: him the benefit of the doubt, losing Trayvon Diggs that

366
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 4: week and kind of just this year emotion that that

367
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 4: causes losing one of your best players on defense throughout

368
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,479
Speaker 4: the course of a week. You know, really unexpected. You

369
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,400
Speaker 4: expect it to happen during the course of a game.

370
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 4: It's part of our game. It's the worst part of

371
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 4: our game. But when it happens on a Thursday practice,

372
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 4: it does take a toll. So we gave them, We

373
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 4: gave them the benefit of the doubt on that one.

374
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 4: But it's like, you look at the rest of the

375
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 4: games and one of the things I think Dallas has done,

376
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 4: you know, even better than just being a dominant defense,

377
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 4: is they've scored points on that.

378
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 1: Side of the Yes, yes, yes.

379
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,199
Speaker 4: They've scored a lot of points. You know, they're averaging

380
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 4: a non defensive score per game right now. Through four weeks,

381
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 4: they've got one a game. The next closest is half

382
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 4: of that, a half touchdown a game. So again, I

383
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 4: Vegas always knows, So do they always know.

384
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 1: We don't know.

385
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 4: Why they know, but Vegas always knows. So clearly there's

386
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 4: gonna be some points scored tonight.

387
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 2: Well, and I wonder also going back to the quote

388
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 2: unquote narrative busting opportunities that these quarterbacks have. I don't

389
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 2: know how much it matters. We live in a world

390
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 2: of media and fandom obviously, and so I know what

391
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 2: this is going to sound like tomorrow depending on who

392
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 2: wins and who loses. I don't know how much it

393
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,479
Speaker 2: really matters or gets into the heads of these guys

394
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 2: or into the locker room. But if Dak Prescott can't

395
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 2: get over on these guys, that's gonna be a thing.

396
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 2: Dak Prescott can't get over the forty nine ers, he

397
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 2: can't win the big game, he hasn't been able to

398
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 2: advance in the playoffs, and they'll be a little bit

399
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 2: more of.

400
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 3: A drum beat. And Brock Purdy same thing.

401
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 2: If he loses this football game, it's going to be

402
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 2: like see like as great that he's been cleaning up

403
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 2: and playing so clean, but now it was an actual

404
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 2: elite defense and suddenly it became a big problem. But

405
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 2: I call it an opportunity for the opposite reason, which

406
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 2: is that you know, Dak can kind of slay one

407
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 2: of his dragons. And if Brock Purdy comes out and

408
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 2: plays really well, well, my goodness, Kyle, that what is

409
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 2: everybody going to have to say about the kid who

410
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 2: still hasn't lost a football game?

411
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 4: And that's exactly it, Like you have two of these

412
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 4: guys that have incredible opportunities, and again, I think going

413
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 4: back to Dak is going to be the one that says, look,

414
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 4: young fella, you can have this one in Week five. Like,

415
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,160
Speaker 4: you know, if this is the one you get, this

416
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 4: is a much bigger opportunity for Brock Perry to say, look,

417
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 4: I'm the man, I'm the reason why this team is

418
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 4: really good, as opposed to if Dak loses to the

419
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 4: forty nine ers in Week five, like, is this really

420
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 4: that big of a game? It's week five, Like I

421
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 4: get it to the media, Yeah, it's a big game.

422
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 4: It's Sunday night football. To we've said these are two

423
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 4: of the three best in the NFC. But really, this

424
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 4: hasn't been Dak's problem. I think that's part of the

425
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 4: reason why Dak gets such a bad rap is because

426
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 4: he does have so much success during the regular season

427
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 4: and then he can't win it in January. So you know,

428
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 4: if I'm I'm Dak, like like I said, you're you're

429
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,360
Speaker 4: going out there, You're trying to play really really good football,

430
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 4: score a lot of points, get a win. But I

431
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 4: think Brock has more to gain from a opportunity right

432
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 4: now in Week five of this season.

433
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 2: Well, well, let Steve de Sager come in and tell

434
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 2: everybody about it. But so far, based on the opportunity presented,

435
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 2: the young man has done quite well for himself, has

436
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:02,719
Speaker 2: he not?

437
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 3: High?

438
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 7: Steve, Hello, and my goodness. They had the ball first,

439
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 7: they've already scored. It's nine ers seven nothing over the

440
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 7: Dallas Cowboys. Seven plays seventy five yards in under four

441
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,439
Speaker 7: minutes brought Purty a nineteen yard touchdown pass to George

442
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 7: Kittle seven zip. Well, Denver was hosting the Jets. You

443
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 7: might be aware that Sean Payton is the Denver head coach,

444
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,360
Speaker 7: had some things to say earlier this year. Well, Denver's

445
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 7: now one and four. They lost at home to the

446
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 7: Jets thirty one twenty one. NFL Network reports that on Fridays,

447
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 7: the Jets after practice always announced who's going to be

448
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 7: their fourth.

449
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 2: Captain for that game.

450
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 7: This week that captain was Nathaniel Hackett, their offensive coordinator,

451
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 7: and on the announcement the players went graty crazy. And

452
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:47,360
Speaker 7: then at today they beat the Broncos and Hackett gets

453
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 7: a game ball.

454
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: So there you go.

455
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 7: Travis Kelcey with a touchdown reception in a Chiefs road

456
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,360
Speaker 7: victory despite a springed ankle. Kansas City wins his fourth

457
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 7: straight game twenty seven nothing at Minnesota, which is one

458
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 7: and four, Philadelphia five and oh after beating the Rams

459
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 7: in LA twenty three to fourteen. Cooper Cup did play

460
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 7: his season debut after the hamstring injury. Had eight catches

461
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 7: one hundred and eighteen yards. And then there was the

462
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 7: day that Jamar Chase said Cincinnati one at Arizona thirty

463
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 7: four to twenty. Cardinals now one and four, Chase fifteen receptions,

464
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,919
Speaker 7: one hundred and ninety two yards and three scores. The

465
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,359

Speaker 7: Bad news for the Bills that linebacker Matt Mulano soffered

486
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 7: a broken leg and likely a knee injury. On top

487
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,320

Speaker 7: rankings are Kentucky, North Carolina, and Duke Kansas, UCLA and Louisville.

504
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 7: Why do I bring that up because right now, for

505
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 7: the first time in the eighty seven year history of

506
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 7: the AP Football Poll, all six of those schools are

507
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 7: ranked at the same time this week in football.

508
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 2: Back to you. Wow, that's incredible. That's a fun little number.

509
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 2: Great stuff, Steve, Thank you. We'll talk to you again

510
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 2: next hour. We are live in the tire rack dot

511
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 2: Com studios and obviously just getting started. But to follow

512
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 2: through on what we were just talking about, all kinds

513
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 2: of games that we want to get to, Steve mention

514
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 2: what happened with the Cincinnati Bengals. I know, we've got

515
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,679
Speaker 2: some thoughts there that whole afc East with what the

516
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 2: Jets did today, the disappointment from the Bills, the absolutely

517
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 2: just awful look of the New England Patriots. Kind of

518
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 2: a whole hum day for the Dolphins. Although a star

519
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 2: is about to be born there, so we're gonna get

520
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 2: to all of that. But that was what was called

521
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 2: hot knife through Butter Brock Parties opening drive for the

522
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 2: forty nine ers Kyle four for four for forty three

523
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:36,199
Speaker 2: yards and a touchdown on a dime nineteen yards. To

524
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 2: George Kittle, your reaction to the forty nine ers first

525
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:42,880
Speaker 2: look tonight.

526
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 4: Well, and you know, hot knife through Butter. There wasn't

527
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 4: even butter. I mean all four of the completions were

528
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 4: to guys like out in space, wide open, guys running

529
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 4: wide open. But that's you know, this Kyle Shanahan offense.

530
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 4: He does it as good as anyone in terms of

531
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 4: scheming guys up, especially going through a first fifteen or

532
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 4: your openers that I mean, as about as efficient as

533
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,679
Speaker 4: it gets in terms of offense, moving the ball right

534
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 4: down the field and starting off with the touchdown.

535
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 2: And it looks like unless there are any flags on

536
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 2: the field that Dallas has responded with a three and

537
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 2: out and so putting unit on to the field and

538
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 2: an opportunity for the forty nine ers to build on

539
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 2: what they did. I tell you what, I'd love your thoughts.

540
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 2: I can tell you what we spent most of the

541
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:33,959
Speaker 2: week talking about in San Francisco. With regard to this

542
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 2: team and Brock Purdy, I'm less interested now in Oh,

543
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 2: you know, there's this sort of like competitive vibe, like

544
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 2: he's good or he's a product of his surroundings, and

545
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 2: you pick a side and argue with one another, and

546
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 2: I'm less interested in getting into that and more interested

547
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 2: into getting into why does the discourse sound the way

548
00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 2: it does. I have referred to it as that's the

549
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 2: best answer that I can come up with so far,

550
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 2: which is to say that it's being held against Brock Purty,

551
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 2: that he was a seventh round draft pick, and instead

552
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 2: of people stepping forward and going, wow, he was misevaluated

553
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 2: and we were wrong, instead of doing that, the response

554
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 2: is to go, well, it must be Shanahan, or it

555
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 2: must be all of these good players around him. And

556
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 2: you know, I like Patrick Mahomes came into the league,

557
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 2: and he had Andy Reid as a play caller, Tyreek

558
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 2: Hill is a receiver, and Travis Kelsey is a tight end.

559
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 2: And I've never heard anyone say wow, but he's got

560
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 2: a great situation. Like, yes, Rock Purdy has a great situation,

561
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 2: of course he does. However, quarterbacking in the NFL has

562
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 2: never in the history have ever been easy, no matter

563
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 2: the situation. He's making it look that way. Though, Why

564
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 2: do you think this conversation sounds the way it does?

565
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: Again, I think it's because where he was drafted.

566
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 4: You know, you look at a guy that was taken

567
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 4: in the seventh round, misterr relevant, last pick of the draft,

568
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 4: a guy who was you know, he was a winner

569
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 4: in college. They won a lot of games at Iowa State.

570
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 4: But you know it wasn't a guy that put up

571
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 4: crazy numbers, and you know, his physical stature doesn't jump

572
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 4: off the page at you. He's a guy who's only

573
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 4: you know, just over six feet tall. So it you know,

574
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 4: it has to be the system. But then it's the

575
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 4: same system that the other quarterbacks all played in. It's okay,

576
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 4: he was why didn't it work for Trey Lance? Trey

577
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 4: Lance was drafted into that same system. You know, there's

578
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 4: been plenty of other guys who have played in that

579
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 4: system with those exact same players around them, who haven't

580
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 4: had the success that he's had. And not only the

581
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 4: success that he's had, he's getting better each and every

582
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 4: time he goes back out on the field. And you know,

583
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 4: again we talk about just this the you know, whether

584
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 4: it's a forty nine Ers philosophy or not. You know,

585
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 4: we'll pay everyone else around the quarterback. Well, it's gonna

586
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 4: be interesting. They got this year and next year, and

587
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 4: then they're gonna have to figure something out because if

588
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 4: this kid keeps playing the way that he's playing and

589
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 4: improving the way that he's improving, that's the biggest factor is,

590
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 4: you know, does he continue to like he has through

591
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 4: his first twelve career starts. It's you know, certainly not

592
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 4: just the system at that point.

593
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 2: I tell you, what if if two years from now

594
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 2: he still hasn't lost a football game that he finished, Uh,

595
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 2: it's gonna be expensive. I'm gonna predict that that's gonna

596
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 2: be very expensive for the San Francisco forty nine Ers. Kyle,

597
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 2: It's not just draft ism. I think there's another ism,

598
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 2: and we can get to that. Coming up next, we'll

599
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 2: dive into the AFC East as well as we continue

600
00:31:56,200 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 2: Week five on a Fox Football Sunday along with Kyle Rudolph.

601
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 2: I'm Mark Willard on Fox Sports Radio. All right, here

602
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 2: we are on the tyrach dot com Studios Week five

603
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 2: National Football League Action. A ton to get to Mark Willard,

604
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 2: Kyle Rudolph here with you on this Week five. We

605
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 2: were just talking about Brock Purdy and draftism, the forty

606
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 2: nine Ers leading early against the Cowboys seven to nothing,

607
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 2: and we'll help you follow along with this one in

608
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 2: addition to talking about everything we saw earlier today. But

609
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 2: I got a second ism, Kyle. It's not just draftism.

610
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 2: I also think it's size ism. I think we have

611
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 2: a hard time looking at Brock Perdy, who does, indeed

612
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 2: look like a kid who's walking home from high school

613
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 2: when you see him, he does. He wears a backpack

614
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 2: sometimes when he leaves the stadium and you think he's

615
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 2: heading down the street, or you know, maybe he's out

616
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 2: for lunch or or whatever. It is like, that's truly

617
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 2: what it looks like. So I get it. But when

618
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 2: people look at the numbers and see the production and

619
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 2: are asked to sort of go, Okay, where does he fit.

620
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:10,719
Speaker 1: In the whole?

621
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 2: Mahomes Alan Herbert Burrow kind of a conversation. I don't know,

622
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 2: people don't know what to do, and I get it.

623
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 2: You kind of look at it and you're like, wait, really, like,

624
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 2: is that is that who this guy is? Are we

625
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 2: supposed to start talking about a top seven quarterback in

626
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 2: the NFL? The numbers obviously suggested, especially depending on which

627
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 2: numbers you look at, starting with wins. But and it's

628
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 2: also so early, you know, we don't need to put

629
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 2: too much pressure on it. But I do think that's

630
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 2: part of it, is just that he doesn't look the part.

631
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you definitely could say that's a big

632
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 4: part of it. And honestly, the more I think back

633
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 4: to some of our earlier conversations on brock Party, and

634
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 4: I think back to that I was there for his

635
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 4: first career start against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and just

636
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 4: all of the early comparison, unfair comparison to Tom Brady,

637
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 4: and you know, this guy who was a six year

638
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 4: und draft pick and was never supposed to be the

639
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 4: guy and gets into the game because of injury, takes

640
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:23,399
Speaker 4: advantage of that opportunity, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

641
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 4: The thing that stopped all of the isam's for Tom.

642
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 4: And it wasn't even just the first championship. It was

643
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 4: multiple championships, because every time New England won a championship,

644
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 4: especially the early ones, everybody wanted to give the defense

645
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 4: the credit. And you know, ah, well this or that, No,

646
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 4: it wasn't Tom. It was even though Tom goes down

647
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 4: the field in two minute to set up the game

648
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 4: winning field goal for the first Super Bowl, it wasn't Tom.

649
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 4: It was that Belichick defense. YadA, YadA, YadA. So you

650
00:34:55,480 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 4: know all quite all, quite honestly, I think ultimately Rock

651
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 4: Perty is going to have to do that. You said,

652
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 4: you know, we still be having these conversations in a

653
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 4: couple of years if he hasn't lost.

654
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 1: The game he started.

655
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 4: And the answer is no, because he will have won

656
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 4: a couple of championships.

657
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: And that's as unfair as it is.

658
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 4: You know, you have your Josh Allens, You're justin Herbert's

659
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 4: the guys that look the part that throw for thousands

660
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 4: and thousands of yards and all kinds of touchdowns, and

661
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 4: do you know, like that's not brock Perty's game. Like

662
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:28,799
Speaker 4: Brock is gonna do exactly what he just did on

663
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 4: that first drive. He's gonna be efficient, He's gonna get

664
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 4: the ball to the guys that are running wide open.

665
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 4: He's not gonna go run and jump over somebody like

666
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 4: Josh Allen or make a seventy five yard throw on

667
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 4: a dime like Justin Herbert. But he wins, and he

668
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,359
Speaker 4: just wins to this point, week in and week out,

669
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 4: he has not, like you said, he has not lost

670
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 4: the game that he started. So you know, it's one

671
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 4: of those things that, unfortunately for Brock, it's it's not

672
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 4: gonna go away until he goes and wins not just

673
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 4: one championship, but a couple of championships.

674
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 2: Well. And there are people who are suggesting that maybe

675
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:06,720
Speaker 2: this changes the way certain teams will view the quarterback position,

676
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 2: or at least how they evaluate it, how they draft it.

677
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 2: I don't know if any of that's the case. I

678
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 2: wonder if it maybe will help the rest of the

679
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 2: NFL viewership understand it a little better. Like I mean,

680
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 2: you can speak to this as well as anyone. I

681
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 2: don't ever get the sense that a coach the first

682
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 2: thing they're looking for in a quarterback is like, Okay,

683
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 2: I need a howitzer arm. He's got to be six ' four,

684
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 2: he's got to be built like Roethlisberger. Nobody doesn't want

685
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,879
Speaker 2: those things. But those aren't the first things. Like the

686
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 2: first things are decision making, accuracy, timing. And we've seen

687
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:56,919
Speaker 2: this example through the years, we've seen quarterbacks win when

688
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 2: they can do that. To me, it's all like decision

689
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 2: making for me is where quarterbacking starts well.

690
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:07,839
Speaker 4: And I think I mean that goes back decades. There's

691
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 4: a reason why Drew Brees was a second round pick.

692
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:13,799
Speaker 4: It was because of his size. It had nothing to

693
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 4: do with his skill set, his decision making. It was

694
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,240
Speaker 4: Drew Brees is too small to be an NFL quarterback.

695
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 4: He doesn't look like the rest of the quarterbacks. And

696
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 4: you know, I think the NFL has gotten away from

697
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 4: that in a big way recently, especially you look at

698
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 4: the last you know, five ten years, and and you know,

699
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:38,399
Speaker 4: certainly they're drafting guys that aren't your prototypical six ' four,

700
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 4: six ' five hallitzer arm. You know, is the guy

701
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 4: a winner? Is he accurate? Is he you know, do

702
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 4: the guys rally around him? Is he a leader? Those

703
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 4: are all things that you see and you know, you know, well,

704
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 4: it'll be interesting, especially as you know, here we are

705
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 4: knocking on the door of another huge quarterback draft after

706
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 4: coming out, you know, coming off of one with the

707
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 4: first two picks being quarterbacks and all kinds of quarterbacks

708
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 4: going early in the top five. To next year you're

709
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 4: going to probably have two or three that go in

710
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 4: the top five as well. So I don't necessarily think

711
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 4: it changes the way teams evaluate quarterbacks, but you know,

712
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 4: it certainly makes you think, like what really is important

713
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:20,280
Speaker 4: when you're evaluating a quarterback.

714
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,399
Speaker 2: Well, I do think what you're bringing up is real interesting, though,

715
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:27,760
Speaker 2: because barriers get broken down. But gosh, it takes a while.

716
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously we can't go back, not that long,

717
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 2: certainly if you go back thirty years, but to a

718
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 2: degree even ten years. And there was obviously a thing

719
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 2: about the skin color of a quarterback and it had

720
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 2: to be broken down through years and continued examples. And

721
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,839
Speaker 2: maybe that's the case here too, because you're bringing up

722
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 2: some of the names. Tom Brady's not that athletic, Drew

723
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 2: Brees is small, Russell Wilson is small. The number one

724
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 2: overall pick in the draft last year is small, and

725
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 2: so maybe it's just break it down over and over

726
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 2: and over again until the viewership really realizes that, like

727
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 2: quarterbacks can look a bunch of different ways.

728
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think that's exactly right.

729
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 4: It has to be broken down because at first it's

730
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:21,359
Speaker 4: always going to be, well, that's the exception, you know,

731
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 4: that's the exception. No, that's not that's not the norm.

732
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,360
Speaker 4: Like everybody can't look that way, or everybody can't play

733
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 4: that way, you can't play at that size. And because

734
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 4: they want to go back to well know, you have

735
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 4: to be the prototype. You know, you got to fit

736
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 4: in our draft profile if we're going to take.

737
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 2: You, absolutely all right, So all in one division, we

738
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 2: have what I think could be two really interesting upcoming

739
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:51,479
Speaker 2: changings of the guard, if you will. One of them

740
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 2: is on the offensive side of the football, and I'm

741
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 2: telling you right now your fantasy draft is going to

742
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 2: be different next year because of this guy on the

743
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 2: other side. It's the coaching ranks and it's kind of

744
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 2: in a different direction as far as the changing of

745
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 2: the guard. So we're gonna get to all of that

746
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:13,280
Speaker 2: coming up next as we continue with Kyle Rudolph, Mark Willard,

759
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 2: Willard, what are we gonna do with this young man

760
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:58,840
Speaker 2: who coaches in the AFC East. I really thought maybe

761
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:02,319
Speaker 2: his career would come together a little bit better than

762
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 2: it has.

763
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 3: But this guy, Bill Belichick, Kyle, what.

764
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 2: Are we gonna do? Because it just it doesn't look

765
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 2: like it's working out where he is right now.

766
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 4: No, And it's tough. It's really tough for a guy

767
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 4: who you know, he's one of the best football coaches

768
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,399
Speaker 4: of all time. You know he's closing in on three

769
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 4: hundred wins, being in the top three all time and

770
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 4: wins six Super Bowls as a head coach, multiple others

771
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:34,800
Speaker 4: as a coordinator, and you know, just we almost thought

772
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 4: that at the Belichick way was invincible, didn't matter. You know,

773
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 4: they would break guys back that didn't have success other places,

774
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 4: and you know people wouldn't and then they wouldn't have

775
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 4: success there when they left New England, and it was

776
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:52,479
Speaker 4: always well, the Belichick way, the Belichick way, the Belichick way.

777
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 4: And you know, now we're seeing that it's really not

778
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 4: the Belichick way as much as it was the Belichick

779
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 4: and Brady way. And you know, you got to have

780
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,840
Speaker 4: both of the bees to make it work. And you

781
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,720
Speaker 4: know they're struggling. They're seeing what life is like without

782
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 4: the greatest quarterback of all time.

783
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 2: Well, struggling is an understatement. For the second week in

784
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 2: a row, Mac Jones replaced, and again they gave him

785
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 2: another vote of confidence afterwards, saying no, Max still the starter.

786
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:24,279
Speaker 2: Each time he's been replaced, the game has already been

787
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 2: well decided. But they can't even stay in games right now,

788
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 2: shut out by the New Orleans Saints on their home

789
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 2: field thirty four to nothing. The final today but I

790
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,759
Speaker 2: do wonder this, and I'm not saying that Bill's doing

791
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 2: this on purpose, as if he's playing chess while we're

792
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:42,880
Speaker 2: all waiting cheers. That's not what I'm saying. However, of

793
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 2: all that you mentioned it about ten minutes ago, Kyle,

794
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 2: this is one heck of a quarterback draft. And of

795
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 2: all the teams who people right now look at and say, oh, okay,

796
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 2: they could end up with a top five pick, but

797
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 2: what's their situation? Are they prepared to bring in another

798
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:06,280
Speaker 2: new quarterback? So look at some of the other teams

799
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 2: that we either see struggling at the bottom of the

800
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 2: league or we thought we're going to be at the

801
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:15,960
Speaker 2: bottom of the league. Let's bounce around a little bit.

802
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:19,799
Speaker 2: Carolina's winless. Are they drafting a quarterback next year? They

803
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 2: just took one number one overall.

804
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 1: Chicago structure round pick either and they.

805
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 3: Don't have a pick exactly.

806
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:30,879
Speaker 2: Chicld Go Bears right now have all kinds of first

807
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 2: round draft capital. Yet after what we've watched the last

808
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:40,280
Speaker 2: two weeks, are you reintrigued by Justin Fields for example?

809
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 4: You know, honestly, my take on the Bears. You know

810
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 4: right now they have the number one overall pick from

811
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 4: the Carolina Panthers, and then another pick somewhere.

812
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 1: They're all top five.

813
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, like whatever their own is as they're tied with

814
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:57,360
Speaker 4: everybody else that's one in four up till this week

815
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,879
Speaker 4: they had the one and the two pick with their

816
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 4: in Carolina's pick. And you know, you look at an

817
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 4: organization that just got a new stadium approved. You have

818
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:12,439
Speaker 4: a family owned and operated organization. They had so much

819
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:14,800
Speaker 4: cap money last year, they have so much cap money

820
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:16,800
Speaker 4: again this coming. I think they have like over ninety

821
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:19,920
Speaker 4: million in cap space. And it's like, do you really

822
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:21,919
Speaker 4: want to We've talked about this. Do you pay an

823
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 4: okay quarterback a ton of money because you're worried about

824
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:29,319
Speaker 4: the alternative? Why would you not get what you can

825
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 4: get for justin fields? And it's again, maybe this is

826
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:34,280
Speaker 4: now two weeks in a row, you've got the highest

827
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 4: draft stock you could possibly find because you know you

828
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 4: want to use one of those two picks next year

829
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 4: on another quarterback. It just gives you more time to

830
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:48,720
Speaker 4: spend that outrage on your quarterback when you can spend

831
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:51,360
Speaker 4: that money that you want to spend other other places

832
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 4: with a family run organization that's already cash strapped. You know,

833
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 4: it's it's not some of these crazy wealthy they're doing

834
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:01,919
Speaker 4: full ball as a hobby. I just want to spend

835
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 4: all kind of crazy money like it's it's an organization

836
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 4: that quite honestly is is cash strapped and they're not

837
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 4: going to go spend a ton of money. So they

838
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 4: certainly wouldn't spend sixty million dollars a year on Justin

839
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 4: Fields to go pay him if he, you know, gets

840
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:18,799
Speaker 4: to that second contract. Who knows what the market's going

841
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:22,319
Speaker 4: to be at two years from now, and when you

842
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:24,759
Speaker 4: could just do it all over again, you know you

843
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 4: got to. You got two picks in the top five

844
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 4: right now, so you know, those are two picks that

845
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 4: can quite honestly, really change your franchise.

846
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:34,360
Speaker 1: But what they need to do is get somebody that

847
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 1: can rush the passer. That's the biggest problem in Chicago.

848
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:39,800
Speaker 2: To be quite honest with you, Well, I think you

849
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 2: make a very interesting point, and this may become more

850
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 2: popular in the years to come. We never would have

851
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:50,840
Speaker 2: thought about it before, but teams who are actually looking

852
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 2: for a quarterback on a rookie deal, especially with what

853
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 2: you're watching the forty nine ers do with their roster

854
00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 2: because of this gift that they have, if you will,

855
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:03,319
Speaker 2: by paying their quarterback less than a million dollars. And

856
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 2: Kyle Shanahan even admitted publicly that they went to go

857
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 2: get Trey Lance with the thought that they needed someone

858
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:12,839
Speaker 2: on a rookie deal, not hit whatever it was going

859
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:15,400
Speaker 2: to be at that time, probably thirty five million dollars

860
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 2: for for Dey Garoppolo. So this may become more in vogue,

861
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 2: You're right, but I do think Fields is at least

862
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 2: still some sort of a question mark about where that's

863
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 2: going to go next. I bring up a couple more teams.

864
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:32,879
Speaker 2: We've talked so much about. Minnesota now one and four

865
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 2: with no commitment to Kirk Cousins, although pressure starting to

866
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:40,719
Speaker 2: come from Justin Jefferson. The Arizona Cardinals got to one

867
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:43,280
Speaker 2: and four. I hear their name come up a lot.

868
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 2: But Kyler Murray, that's big dollars that they just gave him,

869
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 2: So are they moving off of him? When I look

870
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 2: at all of these teams, Sure, and Denver one and

871
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:58,399
Speaker 2: four big guaranteed money to Russell Wilson, So sure they'd

872
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:01,719
Speaker 2: all maybe do it, but it's harder to do not

873
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 2: New England, New England absolutely has nothing in their way

874
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:09,759
Speaker 2: and zero question marks. If they can get a top

875
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 2: five pick, bang, it's redo time for Bill Belichick.

876
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:15,279
Speaker 1: It is.

877
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 4: And you know, I think back, it didn't really work

878
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,240
Speaker 4: out team in the Bay Area a couple of years.

879
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 4: But the year that Steph was hurt and Clay was

880
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:25,719
Speaker 4: hurt and the Warriors go and get the number two

881
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:28,799
Speaker 4: overall pick. You know, certainly that number two overall pick

882
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:31,239
Speaker 4: really hasn't panned out to be an impact player on

883
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:31,800
Speaker 4: their team.

884
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 1: But it's like you think about.

885
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:36,800
Speaker 4: A really, really good roster that just has one really

886
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:38,960
Speaker 4: bad year that gets you up there in that top

887
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 4: three and and football, when you could go get your

888
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 4: quarterback that can change the trajecty of an organization. Again,

889
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 4: nobody will ever do it because we've talked about the

890
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 4: pride in the locker rooms, and you know, certainly we

891
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 4: joke about is Bill playing chess? Why we're all watching checkers?

892
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 4: If anyone would be, it would be Bill like, yeah,

893
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:04,799
Speaker 4: you guys think you're hilarious, Like, yeah, we're terrible. I

894
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 4: just got one of the best quarterbacks in the country,

895
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 4: and now I have everything else around this quarterback to

896
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:13,120
Speaker 4: make him successful. I have a quarterback on a rookie

897
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:16,960
Speaker 4: deal for the next four years and they and they

898
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:19,840
Speaker 4: build something. So I guess you could never put it

899
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 4: past Bill, that's for sure.

900
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I look at where that's going. I mean,

901
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:27,719
Speaker 2: what would we all say, how would we feel a

902
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:30,760
Speaker 2: year from now if Caleb Williams is a Patriot?

903
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you could think about just what, not only

904
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 4: if Caleb Williams is a if Caleb's patriot, what they

905
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 4: can put around him because he's only making you know,

906
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 4: that rookie contract, which that's in my opinion, that's more

907
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:51,800
Speaker 4: frightening than just that quarterback being a Patriot.

908
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:57,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, fair enough, looking at that. The whole landscape though,

909
00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:03,319
Speaker 2: that one, I mean, it sets up absolutely perfectly, but

910
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:07,880
Speaker 2: it's just jarring. It's jarring, Kyle, like it's jarring watching

911
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:12,239
Speaker 2: the New England Patriots play football and have it look

912
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:14,880
Speaker 2: this way. And you spoke, I think a little bit

913
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:18,279
Speaker 2: ago about how Brock Purdy as a young quarterback not

914
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:20,319
Speaker 2: only has had the success he's had, but that he's

915
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 2: still getting better. Mac Jones looks like he's getting worse.

916
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:29,160
Speaker 2: And the narrative last year was how are you going

917
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 2: to leave a young quarterback basically with a defensive coordinator

918
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:37,480
Speaker 2: out there calling plays, and so this year right is

919
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 2: going to be an offensive guy and this is all

920
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:40,800
Speaker 2: going to look different.

921
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:43,520
Speaker 3: Kyle, I don't know what's going on. I don't know what.

922
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:45,920
Speaker 2: You see, but week to week it's getting worse.

923
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think we all we all gave Mac Jones

924
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:53,040
Speaker 4: the benefit of the doubt last year because of the

925
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 4: situation that he was in. You know, you go from

926
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:59,399
Speaker 4: Josh McDaniels and the success that they had in year one.

927
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:03,000
Speaker 4: He goes to the Pro Bowl, they make the playoffs.

928
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:04,839
Speaker 4: You know, certainly lose to the Bills in the first

929
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 4: round in the playoffs, but they make the playoffs. Then

930
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:09,200
Speaker 4: he comes out in year two and it's like you

931
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:13,239
Speaker 4: have a lifelong defensive coach, former defensive coordinator as your

932
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:17,960
Speaker 4: play caller, and a lifelong special teams coach, special teams

933
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 4: coordinator as your quarterback coach. And we didn't really know

934
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:24,760
Speaker 4: who was calling plays early on and who wasn't calling plays.

935
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 4: So we all kind of said, okay, Mac, you got

936
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:31,600
Speaker 4: a pass last year. We wasn't fair for a second

937
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:35,839
Speaker 4: year quarterback to have to deal with that situation when

938
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:38,359
Speaker 4: you're trying to develop as a quarterback. But you've been

939
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:41,800
Speaker 4: with Bill O'Brien this entire offseason, and he's a coach

940
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:46,239
Speaker 4: that has had probably you could argue that of all

941
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:50,759
Speaker 4: of the Bill Pelicheck disciples, the most success away. You know,

942
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 4: you can't take away from what he did in Houston,

943
00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:54,400
Speaker 4: all the years he went to the playoffs with a

944
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 4: lot of different quarterbacks in Houston. So it's like, you know,

945
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:00,319
Speaker 4: at what point do we start saying, Hey, you know, Mac,

946
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:02,560
Speaker 4: you got to take ownership of some of this, because

947
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 4: now they did bring you someone who's given you a

948
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:09,520
Speaker 4: chance to have success and get back to that form

949
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:10,759
Speaker 4: you showed your rookie year.

950
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:14,279
Speaker 2: We're not even close to done with this division because

951
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:15,960
Speaker 2: there's much more to say. It's brought to you by

956
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 2: division today that absolutely must be discussed, and one of

957
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:36,680
Speaker 2: them is going to affect not just this year but

958
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:40,279
Speaker 2: next August. More on Matt coming up next here on

959
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.

960
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:44,160
Speaker 3: That's right, ushering us.

961
00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:48,359
Speaker 2: Back in right here on Foxsports Radio Live, ty Raq

962
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:52,480
Speaker 2: dot Com Studios with Kyle Rudolph Mark Willard tonight, and

963
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:55,080
Speaker 2: we'll continue with some of the things going on in

964
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:57,239
Speaker 2: the AFC East here in just a second. But Kyle,

965
00:51:57,520 --> 00:52:00,960
Speaker 2: I wanted to get a thought from you on what

966
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:03,960
Speaker 2: you do as a team when you're on the road.

967
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:11,320
Speaker 2: It's a big atmosphere and the avalanche effect is happening.

968
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:14,560
Speaker 2: Here comes the snowball effect, and it's building, and it's building,

969
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 2: and it's threatening to be two scores or three scores

970
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:21,399
Speaker 2: or what have you. The forty nine Ers now lead

971
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:25,399
Speaker 2: fourteen to nothing. The two teams traded fumbles. Niners had

972
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:26,920
Speaker 2: the ball in the red zone, went all the way

973
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:30,400
Speaker 2: to the one Christian McCaffrey fumbled, but they get the

974
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:34,080
Speaker 2: ball right back on a short field. The razzle dazzle

975
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:38,480
Speaker 2: George Kittle tight end day, my friend has both touchdowns

976
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:42,440
Speaker 2: in this game. And the Niners are up fourteen to nothing.

977
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:45,160
Speaker 2: And I don't want to say this is threatening to

978
00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:48,200
Speaker 2: get out of hand. It's definitely not that at this point.

979
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:53,279
Speaker 2: But I just wonder what is your insight on what

980
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:57,759
Speaker 2: happens to a team when it's this situation, you're now

981
00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:00,840
Speaker 2: down two scores, a crowd is on on its side,

982
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:02,719
Speaker 2: and you're on the road in a big game.

983
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:06,520
Speaker 4: Well it's it's not out of hand yet, but it's

984
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:08,880
Speaker 4: threatening to get out of hand. And this is where,

985
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:14,319
Speaker 4: you know, we get the Philly push there to to

986
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 4: get the first down, so shove and get the first down.

987
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:24,560
Speaker 4: But it's as a team on the road, all the

988
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 4: chaos that's going on. They go down and score the

989
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 4: first drive of the game. You're three and out, three

990
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:33,480
Speaker 4: and out, and then they you know, you turn the

991
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:34,760
Speaker 4: ball over, but then.

992
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:37,040
Speaker 1: Give it right back.

993
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:38,759
Speaker 4: To them and they score, and all of a sudden,

994
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:42,400
Speaker 4: it's like, guys, calm down, take a breath.

995
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:43,080
Speaker 1: You know.

996
00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:45,239
Speaker 4: One of the big things was always like, let's get

997
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:49,200
Speaker 4: the first first down. We can't score, there's no fourteen

998
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:52,800
Speaker 4: point plays. We can't tie this game up on this drive.

999
00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:56,719
Speaker 4: You know, let's worry about getting the first first down.

1000
00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:58,640
Speaker 4: And you know they're they were able to get it

1001
00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:01,560
Speaker 4: on the brotherly shove and get their first first down,

1002
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:04,480
Speaker 4: and it's like you just start to then see the

1003
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:10,399
Speaker 4: chaos calm down the longer you stay on the field. Yeah,

1004
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:13,200
Speaker 4: the crowd will get get up for maybe a big

1005
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 4: third down, but like they can't sustain that decibel level

1006
00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:20,200
Speaker 4: the entire drive, right, And it's like the more you

1007
00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:23,799
Speaker 4: possess the ball, the more the crowd starts to calm down.

1008
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:26,080
Speaker 4: And you know you're seeing it here where you know,

1009
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:28,879
Speaker 4: now they get another first down, and it's like, if

1010
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:35,359
Speaker 4: you can just put together one solid, methodical drive, all

1011
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 4: of a sudden, now it's like, Okay, we're fourteen seven.

1012
00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:43,200
Speaker 4: The world is not ending, it's not getting out of hand.

1013
00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:45,840
Speaker 4: We're right back in this, hey, defense, go out and

1014
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:47,440
Speaker 4: get us a stop. Let's get this ball back and

1015
00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:49,520
Speaker 4: see if we can't tie the game up. But on

1016
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:52,239
Speaker 4: the other side of it, if you don't approach it

1017
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:54,400
Speaker 4: that way and you press and you try to score

1018
00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:57,720
Speaker 4: fourteen points on one play, that's where all of a sudden,

1019
00:54:57,800 --> 00:54:59,360
Speaker 4: next you know, you turn around and now it's like

1020
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:04,239
Speaker 4: twenty one on twenty four, twenty seven, whatever the Then

1021
00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:06,120
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, you're like, it's it's out of

1022
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:08,600
Speaker 4: hand and it can happen in a hurry.

1023
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:12,400
Speaker 2: Uh, what do you see schematically here? What's a again,

1024
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:15,720
Speaker 2: it's early, We're just over a quarter in the teams

1025
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 2: have traded turnovers. Forty nine Ers had the great opening

1026
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:21,600
Speaker 2: drive and then they got a big play a chunk

1027
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:23,920
Speaker 2: played for the for the second touchdown. But but what

1028
00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:26,439
Speaker 2: do you see on both sides that's working and what's

1029
00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:27,719
Speaker 2: not well.

1030
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:31,960
Speaker 4: I think the biggest issue that Dallas was having early

1031
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:36,600
Speaker 4: was protecting Dak. And you know that that forty nine

1032
00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:39,840
Speaker 4: Ers front is what makes them go. I mean I

1033
00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:43,120
Speaker 4: every time I played them. Yeah, there's a lot of

1034
00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:46,400
Speaker 4: really good players on that defense. But at what point,

1035
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:48,560
Speaker 4: I think there was five first round picks that you're

1036
00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:50,239
Speaker 4: You're looking at the depth chart and you're like, Holy,

1037
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:52,400
Speaker 4: how are we going to block all these guys? And

1038
00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:54,799
Speaker 4: you know, certainly there's not five first round picks up

1039
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:57,520
Speaker 4: there anymore. But you have guys that are playing at

1040
00:55:57,560 --> 00:56:01,080
Speaker 4: a really, really high level, and they're putting pressure on Dak,

1041
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:06,120
Speaker 4: causing him to be uncomfortable. Fred Warmer proving that he's

1042
00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:08,759
Speaker 4: you know, one of, if not the best linebackers in

1043
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:12,759
Speaker 4: football with the big punch out turnover. He's just such

1044
00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:15,600
Speaker 4: a monster in the middle of the defense, makes plays

1045
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:18,120
Speaker 4: in the run game, makes plays in the past game.

1046
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:21,759
Speaker 4: He's just all over the field. And then you know

1047
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:26,600
Speaker 4: on the flip side. You mentioned that San Francoes right

1048
00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:29,560
Speaker 4: down the field. Forty nine Ers first play basically like

1049
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:32,880
Speaker 4: there was no defense that was I'm sure that was

1050
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:35,280
Speaker 4: very similar to the walkthrough they had at the hotel

1051
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:38,720
Speaker 4: this morning on air. I mean, just guys wide open.

1052
00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:42,800
Speaker 4: But then you know, you start to see Dallas start

1053
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:47,280
Speaker 4: bringing some pressure. And you know everyone knows Micah Parsons

1054
00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:50,440
Speaker 4: and the problems that he presents, so you start to

1055
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:53,000
Speaker 4: see that, and I think that's what, to be quite honest,

1056
00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:55,880
Speaker 4: both of these defenses will have to do, because if

1057
00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:59,759
Speaker 4: they're not putting pressure on the quarterbacks, the skill p

1058
00:56:59,880 --> 00:57:02,399
Speaker 4: is on both sides of the ball are just too

1059
00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:05,880
Speaker 4: good to sit back and play man, play zone, whatever

1060
00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:07,879
Speaker 4: you're trying to do. You know, the forty nine Ers

1061
00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:10,879
Speaker 4: play a ton of single high zone. Well, if you're

1062
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:13,600
Speaker 4: not getting pressure on the quarterback, Dak will be able

1063
00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:15,520
Speaker 4: to pick that apart and go right down the field.

1064
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:18,160
Speaker 4: Fortunately for the Niners, so far, they've gotten a lot

1065
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:19,240
Speaker 4: of pressure on the quarterback.

1066
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:22,240
Speaker 2: Yep, so Dallas is having the best drive of the

1067
00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:24,680
Speaker 2: night so far. They're in forty nine or territory. We

1068
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:27,240
Speaker 2: will keep you up to date. San Francisco leading this

1069
00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:31,800
Speaker 2: one fourteen to nothing so far early second quarter. Okay,

1070
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:34,800
Speaker 2: back to what we were talking about in the AFC East,

1071
00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:39,200
Speaker 2: I'm not sure you want to talk about product of

1072
00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:43,400
Speaker 2: your environment. Maybe this Miami offense is truly just a

1073
00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:48,240
Speaker 2: video game, and maybe he's the latest beneficiary of it.

1074
00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:52,960
Speaker 2: But devon a Chan, what are we looking at here?

1075
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:55,960
Speaker 2: Because this guy is getting like ten to twelve carries

1076
00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:59,880
Speaker 2: a game and ending up winning everyone's fantasy games for

1077
00:57:59,880 --> 00:58:03,760
Speaker 2: them on the weekly, to the point where I feel like,

1078
00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:07,320
Speaker 2: if this keeps on this track, and if he ends

1079
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:10,080
Speaker 2: up being a lead back, I don't even know if

1080
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:12,000
Speaker 2: he is yet most are it's still getting a whole

1081
00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:14,800
Speaker 2: lot of carries out of that backfield. But this is

1082
00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:16,720
Speaker 2: a type of guy, and it happens, I feel like

1083
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:20,200
Speaker 2: almost every year in the NFL where there's someone that

1084
00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:23,320
Speaker 2: eighty percent of the public had never even heard of,

1085
00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:26,480
Speaker 2: and now we're a month into the season and we're like,

1086
00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:28,880
Speaker 2: I think he might be the number one overall pick

1087
00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:32,480
Speaker 2: next year. Like where did this guy come from? And

1088
00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:34,960
Speaker 2: what exactly is happening with that offense?

1089
00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:38,760
Speaker 4: There's one word when you talk about eight hen, and

1090
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:43,160
Speaker 4: it's just speed. You watch his touchdown today, and it's

1091
00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:49,640
Speaker 4: it's not crazy schematic design getting these guys with these

1092
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:54,120
Speaker 4: super unique run plays. It was just simply a run

1093
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:57,280
Speaker 4: to the left and it was well blocked. Certainly got

1094
00:58:57,360 --> 00:58:59,680
Speaker 4: him to the second level. But you know, you see

1095
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:03,880
Speaker 4: Zavier McKinney, the safety for the Giants, who's a phenomenal player. He's,

1096
00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:06,200
Speaker 4: you know, one of the best safeties, has played like

1097
00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:08,360
Speaker 4: one of the best safeties over the last couple of years.

1098
00:59:09,400 --> 00:59:12,880
Speaker 4: He took like a high school angle at this guy.

1099
00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:15,760
Speaker 4: And you know, we all saw that in high school,

1100
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:18,800
Speaker 4: where you someone was faster than everyone else and you're like, oh, well,

1101
00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:20,520
Speaker 4: I got to take a better angle for that guy.

1102
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:23,000
Speaker 1: That's exactly what I mean.

1103
00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:26,840
Speaker 4: He didn't get touched and Xavier was unblocked in the

1104
00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:28,600
Speaker 4: middle of the field. He came down to fit the

1105
00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:33,480
Speaker 4: run and he simply just ran right by him, hitting

1106
00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:36,480
Speaker 4: the highest mile per hour of the year, only then

1107
00:59:36,560 --> 00:59:41,160
Speaker 4: to be out done by Cheetah on a straight go

1108
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:44,440
Speaker 4: route which you don't see corners get. He ran five

1109
00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:47,480
Speaker 4: yards by that guy to hit twenty two miles an hour.

1110
00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:51,120
Speaker 4: So the best way to describe this team, you know,

1111
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:54,520
Speaker 4: with the receivers, both of the running backs It's just

1112
00:59:54,600 --> 00:59:59,000
Speaker 4: it's a track meet, and you know going into it

1113
00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:02,520
Speaker 4: that you have to prepare for speed, but you can't

1114
01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:06,240
Speaker 4: simulate that at practice. That angle that Xavier McKinney took

1115
01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:09,160
Speaker 4: in practice, that he probably saw that four or five times,

1116
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:11,040
Speaker 4: and he took the exact angle that he took in

1117
01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:13,760
Speaker 4: the game, and you think, okay, you know this is

1118
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:16,520
Speaker 4: not that much faster, and the guy runs around you

1119
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:20,400
Speaker 4: for however long the touchdown was sixty seventy yards whatever

1120
01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:25,400
Speaker 4: it was. So it's one thing to watch speed on tape.

1121
01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:28,680
Speaker 4: It's one thing to try to simulate speed at practice,

1122
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:30,960
Speaker 4: but when you play those guys, I mean they're a

1123
01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:34,760
Speaker 4: four by one trap team. Between the two running backs

1124
01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:38,520
Speaker 4: and the two receivers, it's just incredible what they do

1125
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:39,080
Speaker 4: with speed.

1126
01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:42,439
Speaker 2: Well, I guess my question would be, and by the way,

1127
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:45,120
Speaker 2: Dallas and Dak did go on the exact drive that

1128
01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:48,480
Speaker 2: you're talking about them needing. Cavante Turpin ends up with

1129
01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:52,160
Speaker 2: a twenty six yard touchdown catch on third down, and

1130
01:00:52,480 --> 01:00:55,280
Speaker 2: Dallas is very much still calming things down and in

1131
01:00:55,320 --> 01:00:57,920
Speaker 2: this game fourteen to seven. Now the forty nine Ers

1132
01:00:57,960 --> 01:01:01,840
Speaker 2: lead the Cowboys seven forty five to go until halftime.

1133
01:01:03,160 --> 01:01:05,600
Speaker 2: I feel like when there's a team like this, you

1134
01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:08,080
Speaker 2: know what, Miami reminds me of, Kyle. They remind me

1135
01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:12,240
Speaker 2: of what traditionally the Pac ten or Pac twelve would

1136
01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:14,200
Speaker 2: sort of bring to the party at the end of

1137
01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:18,160
Speaker 2: the year, like when Oregon played Auburn in the National

1138
01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:23,040
Speaker 2: Championship game. Oregon is just like fireflies all over the place.

1139
01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:27,680
Speaker 2: It's a wide open offense, athletes everywhere, tons of speed.

1140
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 2: If you can get them into a physical battle, you

1141
01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:34,920
Speaker 2: can beat them. But in order to do that, you

1142
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:39,400
Speaker 2: have to catch them. So I don't know necessarily what

1143
01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:41,800
Speaker 2: the game plan is to do that. I do feel

1144
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:44,520
Speaker 2: like Buffalo to a degree did it last week. You

1145
01:01:44,560 --> 01:01:47,680
Speaker 2: look at other teams, these two that we're watching right now,

1146
01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:52,120
Speaker 2: the Eagles, I'm not sure who else necessarily fits the bill,

1147
01:01:52,160 --> 01:01:54,760
Speaker 2: but teams that can shove them around a little bit,

1148
01:01:55,240 --> 01:01:57,720
Speaker 2: I feel like are gonna give Miami a whole lot

1149
01:01:57,760 --> 01:02:00,800
Speaker 2: of trouble. So I just don't know if I know

1150
01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:03,160
Speaker 2: they're built for now. I don't know if they're built

1151
01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:04,960
Speaker 2: for January, is my question.

1152
01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:11,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, especially January somewhere cold. Just last week we talked about,

1153
01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:15,880
Speaker 4: you know, you have to kind of go beat the bully,

1154
01:02:16,080 --> 01:02:19,320
Speaker 4: and Buffalo has been the bully in that division for

1155
01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:23,240
Speaker 4: the last three years, and they haven't been able to

1156
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:26,120
Speaker 4: go to Buffalo and win and the regular season or

1157
01:02:26,160 --> 01:02:29,440
Speaker 4: in the playoffs. And you know, they've had success against

1158
01:02:29,480 --> 01:02:33,960
Speaker 4: everyone else except for Buffalo. And you know, certainly Buffalo

1159
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:37,000
Speaker 4: didn't do themselves any favor dropping one across the pond

1160
01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:41,760
Speaker 4: early this morning. But it makes you wonder how important

1161
01:02:41,880 --> 01:02:46,920
Speaker 4: is it for Miami to make sure that not only

1162
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:50,640
Speaker 4: does the Divisional round game, but the AFC Championship game

1163
01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:56,000
Speaker 4: go through Miami. That offense and the fact that they

1164
01:02:56,040 --> 01:02:59,000
Speaker 4: can run their four by one hundred track meet in

1165
01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:03,720
Speaker 4: South Florida as opposed to going to Buffalo or going

1166
01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:07,720
Speaker 4: to Kansas City or going to Baltimore or wherever they

1167
01:03:07,760 --> 01:03:11,880
Speaker 4: may have to go in late January when it's going

1168
01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:15,840
Speaker 4: to be really cold. Speed doesn't like cold weather a

1169
01:03:15,880 --> 01:03:16,440
Speaker 4: whole lot.

1170
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:20,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly right. Although we like speed, and I've

1171
01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:25,320
Speaker 2: always considered Steve to saga very fast, quick wit, quick

1172
01:03:25,360 --> 01:03:29,160
Speaker 2: on the information. And here it comes again, lackety split.

1173
01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:32,280
Speaker 2: Let's find out what's trending with our guy, Steve. What's up, Steve?

1174
01:03:32,360 --> 01:03:35,480
Speaker 7: There is nothing fast like Devon hen that you mentioned.

1175
01:03:35,520 --> 01:03:38,200
Speaker 7: He of the seventy six yard run. We've talked about

1176
01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:40,760
Speaker 7: him on the show after you that. His last two

1177
01:03:40,800 --> 01:03:44,160
Speaker 7: years at Texas A and M twenty two games, twenty

1178
01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:48,439
Speaker 7: one touchdowns, two thousand yards rushing at five foot nine,

1179
01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:50,840
Speaker 7: and he was drafted in the third round. If you

1180
01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:53,200
Speaker 7: look it up in the draft this year, the Tennessee

1181
01:03:53,240 --> 01:03:56,280
Speaker 7: Titans were taking a running back in the third round,

1182
01:03:56,360 --> 01:03:59,960
Speaker 7: just three selections before they took the Tulane star running

1183
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:00,600
Speaker 7: back ty J.

1184
01:04:00,800 --> 01:04:01,280
Speaker 2: Spears.

1185
01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:04,120
Speaker 7: Spears in his rookie year, has one hundred and fifty

1186
01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:07,480
Speaker 7: six yards rushing. Ah Chan had one fifty one just

1187
01:04:07,600 --> 01:04:12,960
Speaker 7: today on only eleven carries. Miami beat the Giants thirty

1188
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:15,800
Speaker 7: one to sixteen. By the way, I mentioned, he had

1189
01:04:15,800 --> 01:04:18,880
Speaker 7: another long touchdown run here. Hn the first player in

1190
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:22,760
Speaker 7: NFL history to in his first four career games on

1191
01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:26,600
Speaker 7: an NFL field, has multiple rushing touchdowns of at least

1192
01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:30,439
Speaker 7: sixty yards. Well yards not exactly what the Cowboys were

1193
01:04:30,440 --> 01:04:33,040
Speaker 7: piling up for most of this first half tonight. They

1194
01:04:33,080 --> 01:04:36,280
Speaker 7: have now scored Dak Prescott a twenty six yard touchdown

1195
01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:39,160
Speaker 7: pass to Cavonte Turpin So about six minutes to go

1196
01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:41,200
Speaker 7: in the second quarter. Of the Niners at home lead

1197
01:04:41,280 --> 01:04:44,840
Speaker 7: fourteen to seven over the Dallas Cowboys, but boy in

1198
01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:49,040
Speaker 7: the first quarter the Cowboys seven plays, six yards, four

1199
01:04:49,080 --> 01:04:52,560
Speaker 7: penalties and a turnover. Those six yards in the first

1200
01:04:52,640 --> 01:04:55,560
Speaker 7: quarter for Dallas tonight the fewest they had since three

1201
01:04:55,640 --> 01:04:58,120
Speaker 7: years ago when Andy Dalton was at quarterback for a

1202
01:04:58,160 --> 01:05:01,480
Speaker 7: game where they lost twenty five three to Washington. Their

1203
01:05:01,480 --> 01:05:04,640
Speaker 7: first four drives tonight, they had no first downs and finally,

1204
01:05:04,720 --> 01:05:07,400
Speaker 7: as you say, they moved down the field this past

1205
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:11,400
Speaker 7: so it's pass drive. So fourteen to seven, San Francisco

1206
01:05:11,560 --> 01:05:14,400
Speaker 7: in the lead. Two touchdown passes for Brock Purty, both

1207
01:05:14,520 --> 01:05:17,560
Speaker 7: to George Kittle, one of nineteen yards, one of thirty eight.

1208
01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:20,720
Speaker 7: Kansas City won its fourth straight game, twenty seven to

1209
01:05:20,720 --> 01:05:23,920
Speaker 7: twenty at Minnesota. The Vikings now one and four and

1210
01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:27,600
Speaker 7: star wide receiver Justin Jefferson left with a hamstring injury.

1211
01:05:27,840 --> 01:05:31,080
Speaker 7: Cooper Cup back from a hamstring injury in La today,

1212
01:05:31,080 --> 01:05:34,840
Speaker 7: making his season debut. Although Philadelphia beat the Rams twenty three,

1213
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:38,000
Speaker 7: fourteen Eagles record five and zero, Cup finished with eight

1214
01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:41,320
Speaker 7: catches one hundred and eighteen yards. And then there was

1215
01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:44,880
Speaker 7: Jamar Chase's game. Cincinnati got a win at Arizona thirty

1216
01:05:44,920 --> 01:05:48,760
Speaker 7: four to twenty Chase with fifteen catches, one hundred and

1217
01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:53,120
Speaker 7: ninety two yards and three touchdowns. Now the Jets have

1218
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:56,080
Speaker 7: a very good wide receiver Garrett Wilson, and the Jets

1219
01:05:56,080 --> 01:05:59,360
Speaker 7: did win at Denver today thirty one twenty one Breeze

1220
01:05:59,360 --> 01:06:02,800
Speaker 7: Hall on hundred seventy seven yards rushing, including a long score.

1221
01:06:03,120 --> 01:06:05,560
Speaker 7: But the Jets were going up against a secondary that

1222
01:06:05,600 --> 01:06:09,560
Speaker 7: includes Patrick Sir Tan. He lined up across from Garrett Wilson.

1223
01:06:09,560 --> 01:06:13,480
Speaker 7: According to Natchen Stats on most of the routes Final Stats,

1224
01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:18,320
Speaker 7: Sir Tan allowed one catch and had one interception of

1225
01:06:18,360 --> 01:06:23,440
Speaker 7: his own in coverage against Garrett Wilson today. Wow, that

1226
01:06:23,600 --> 01:06:26,640
Speaker 7: is a star among nothing with the Denver Broncos roster

1227
01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:29,320
Speaker 7: last year. In this they are one and four Denver

1228
01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:31,200
Speaker 7: and uh let's see who do they have next up

Speaker 7: leading fourteen to seven over Dallas.

1268
01:08:33,240 --> 01:08:36,280
Speaker 2: Back to you, all right, Steve, great stuff all around

1269
01:08:36,400 --> 01:08:39,639
Speaker 2: the board. Thanks so much, Live TI rack dot com Studios. Yes,

1270
01:08:39,880 --> 01:08:43,280
Speaker 2: the Niners have second and short inside the fifteen yard line.

1271
01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:45,639
Speaker 2: Keep you up to date. One thing I said coming

1272
01:08:45,680 --> 01:08:48,920
Speaker 2: into this game Kyle was I really thought, especially with

1273
01:08:48,960 --> 01:08:52,240
Speaker 2: the emotion and the style of play. Someone asked me,

1274
01:08:52,320 --> 01:08:55,040
Speaker 2: what do you think Kyle Shanahan's gonna do? I said,

1275
01:08:55,080 --> 01:08:56,920
Speaker 2: I think He's going to look for spots to use

1276
01:08:57,040 --> 01:09:02,680
Speaker 2: Dallas's aggressiveness against them. A huge screen played at Christian McCaffrey.

1277
01:09:02,840 --> 01:09:05,160
Speaker 2: They just ended up in the red zone because they

1278
01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:08,439
Speaker 2: did exactly that. Dallas sold out to come after Brock

1279
01:09:08,520 --> 01:09:12,439
Speaker 2: party and that whole defensive line turned around and suddenly

1280
01:09:12,520 --> 01:09:15,280
Speaker 2: Christian McCaffrey had the ball on the other side.

1281
01:09:15,520 --> 01:09:18,080
Speaker 1: It just doesn't make sense. It's second and twelve. What

1282
01:09:18,120 --> 01:09:19,280
Speaker 1: do you think they're gonna do?

1283
01:09:19,760 --> 01:09:22,200
Speaker 4: You know, everybody knows it's a screen or a draw

1284
01:09:22,240 --> 01:09:24,800
Speaker 4: on second and long, they offensive play. Caller has to

1285
01:09:24,880 --> 01:09:29,440
Speaker 4: call something that's safe, conservative, We'll get them back on schedule.

1286
01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:31,800
Speaker 4: I feel like every time we came to the line

1287
01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:34,240
Speaker 4: of scrimmage and second and long, the defense is yelling,

1288
01:09:34,320 --> 01:09:37,000
Speaker 4: watch the screen, watch the draw, you just you know

1289
01:09:37,080 --> 01:09:37,599
Speaker 4: it's coming.

1290
01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:39,599
Speaker 1: And they did. They did exactly that.

1291
01:09:39,680 --> 01:09:42,320
Speaker 4: They used their aggression against them and hit a huge

1292
01:09:42,360 --> 01:09:43,720
Speaker 4: play in the screen of McCaffrey.

1293
01:09:44,800 --> 01:09:48,439
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Yeah, So keep you up to date on this one.

1294
01:09:48,840 --> 01:09:51,880
Speaker 2: As the Niners get the ball down to about the

1295
01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:56,040
Speaker 2: one yard line, they'll have second in goal. There, big,

1296
01:09:56,200 --> 01:10:00,240
Speaker 2: big Sunday night football game, obviously, and I I think

1297
01:10:00,280 --> 01:10:03,240
Speaker 2: that it's way too early, but that's what we do.

1298
01:10:03,720 --> 01:10:07,600
Speaker 2: We're fans, we're media members, and so you start to

1299
01:10:07,640 --> 01:10:10,639
Speaker 2: look at the balance of power as it sits across

1300
01:10:10,680 --> 01:10:13,400
Speaker 2: the NFL. I don't know how this game is going

1301
01:10:13,479 --> 01:10:16,400
Speaker 2: to end up. In this moment, it's starting to feel

1302
01:10:16,880 --> 01:10:21,040
Speaker 2: like the Eagles Niners thing that we all thought coming

1303
01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:24,479
Speaker 2: into this season may may still very much be the thing.

1304
01:10:24,520 --> 01:10:27,280
Speaker 2: But we'll see how the rest of this game goes, obviously,

1305
01:10:28,320 --> 01:10:31,000
Speaker 2: and the rest of the season there's so much more time.

1306
01:10:31,560 --> 01:10:33,880
Speaker 2: But as the forty nine Ers, I think go in

1307
01:10:33,920 --> 01:10:36,080
Speaker 2: to make it a two score and indeed they do

1308
01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:41,559
Speaker 2: two score lead again with a touchdown to McCaffrey. The

1309
01:10:41,600 --> 01:10:44,240
Speaker 2: forty nine Ers and Eagles looks like have a good

1310
01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:47,599
Speaker 2: chance to be the balance of power in the NFC.

1311
01:10:47,640 --> 01:10:49,800
Speaker 2: But you heard Steve talking about what happened to the

1312
01:10:49,840 --> 01:10:54,320
Speaker 2: Bills in London, and I'm scratching my head. And we

1313
01:10:54,360 --> 01:10:57,040
Speaker 2: can get to this more coming up next, Kyle, But

1314
01:10:57,680 --> 01:11:00,640
Speaker 2: you know, the weird game with the the energy in

1315
01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:04,760
Speaker 2: the building and Aaron Rodgers' injury on opening night. That's

1316
01:11:04,880 --> 01:11:08,720
Speaker 2: one thing, and then after that, the Bills have been

1317
01:11:08,760 --> 01:11:12,479
Speaker 2: more dominant than anybody in football for three weeks and

1318
01:11:13,040 --> 01:11:16,040
Speaker 2: I was completely caught off guard by the way they

1319
01:11:16,080 --> 01:11:18,559
Speaker 2: played today. The only people who were more caught off

1320
01:11:18,600 --> 01:11:22,280
Speaker 2: guard were themselves well when that game started this morning.

1321
01:11:23,120 --> 01:11:25,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's something that's worth mentioning the fact that

1322
01:11:25,800 --> 01:11:29,800
Speaker 4: the Jacksonville Jaguars played in London last week and then

1323
01:11:29,840 --> 01:11:33,360
Speaker 4: they stayed there for the first time team had played

1324
01:11:33,479 --> 01:11:36,759
Speaker 4: back to back games in London. And I've done London,

1325
01:11:36,960 --> 01:11:39,799
Speaker 4: I've done Europe, I should say three times, two in London,

1326
01:11:39,880 --> 01:11:43,800
Speaker 4: one in Germany. All three times we traveled in a

1327
01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:45,000
Speaker 4: completely different way.

1328
01:11:45,240 --> 01:11:46,240
Speaker 1: First time was a.

1329
01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:49,200
Speaker 4: Home team, we went over on Monday, so we left

1330
01:11:49,280 --> 01:11:53,719
Speaker 4: Minnesota on Monday night, we arrived in London on Tuesday morning.

1331
01:11:54,280 --> 01:11:57,479
Speaker 4: The next time I went as an away team to London,

1332
01:11:57,920 --> 01:12:01,120
Speaker 4: I think we left on when Wednesday night and got

1333
01:12:01,160 --> 01:12:05,080
Speaker 4: there Thursday morning. And then this most recent time I

1334
01:12:05,120 --> 01:12:07,639
Speaker 4: went with the Bucks, we went to Germany. We left

1335
01:12:07,840 --> 01:12:12,000
Speaker 4: Thursday and got there Friday morning. So I've done everything

1336
01:12:12,040 --> 01:12:16,799
Speaker 4: from you know, theoretically staying the entire week from leaving

1337
01:12:16,840 --> 01:12:19,479
Speaker 4: Monday to staying there till Monday, to going over and

1338
01:12:19,479 --> 01:12:22,320
Speaker 4: getting their Friday morning. I have no idea what the

1339
01:12:22,360 --> 01:12:24,720
Speaker 4: Bills did in terms of their travel over there and

1340
01:12:24,760 --> 01:12:27,720
Speaker 4: how they adjusted to the time zones, but certainly you

1341
01:12:27,720 --> 01:12:30,400
Speaker 4: could tell that they were still asleep for the first half,

1342
01:12:30,680 --> 01:12:32,679
Speaker 4: and the Jaguars were a team that had been there

1343
01:12:32,720 --> 01:12:34,880
Speaker 4: and been like, yeah, this is of course it's a

1344
01:12:35,520 --> 01:12:38,160
Speaker 4: one o'clock kickoff, Like it's that's what time it is

1345
01:12:38,200 --> 01:12:40,320
Speaker 4: for us. We've been here all week. They score eleven

1346
01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:44,640
Speaker 4: points in the first quarter, so you know, it is interesting.

1347
01:12:44,720 --> 01:12:47,280
Speaker 4: And actually I saw something at some point this week

1348
01:12:47,400 --> 01:12:50,680
Speaker 4: Roger Goodell was talking about they needed to look at

1349
01:12:50,680 --> 01:12:53,679
Speaker 4: the competitive advantage and if it is an advantage having

1350
01:12:53,720 --> 01:12:55,920
Speaker 4: a team that stays there back to back weeks, and

1351
01:12:55,960 --> 01:12:57,719
Speaker 4: it certainly seemed like it in this one.

1352
01:12:58,240 --> 01:13:00,920
Speaker 2: No doubt, tyraq dot com student and in fact, a

1353
01:13:01,040 --> 01:13:04,400
Speaker 2: subject similar to that came up in another sport this

1354
01:13:04,479 --> 01:13:07,000
Speaker 2: week too. So we can get to more on the

1355
01:13:07,040 --> 01:13:09,920
Speaker 2: Bills and the London situation coming up in a moment

1356
01:13:09,920 --> 01:13:15,479
Speaker 2: with Kyle Rudolph Mark Willard. This is Fox Sports Radio. Okay,

1357
01:13:15,520 --> 01:13:19,880
Speaker 2: we're live in the tie rag dot Com Studios. That's

1358
01:13:19,960 --> 01:13:24,439
Speaker 2: Kyle Rudolph on a Sunday night, Week five Action talking

1359
01:13:24,479 --> 01:13:27,800
Speaker 2: it out. I'm Mark Wellard alongside, and you know, the

1360
01:13:27,840 --> 01:13:30,519
Speaker 2: Bills are such a head scratcher. In many ways, that

1361
01:13:30,640 --> 01:13:33,080
Speaker 2: conversation we were having off the top of the show

1362
01:13:33,200 --> 01:13:38,439
Speaker 2: Kyle Josh Allen is maybe in some ways the anti party,

1363
01:13:38,920 --> 01:13:42,200
Speaker 2: and maybe it's not a perfect comp but here's what

1364
01:13:42,240 --> 01:13:45,639
Speaker 2: I mean by that. The Bills on a daylight today.

1365
01:13:45,840 --> 01:13:48,200
Speaker 2: This is when you scratch your head and you go,

1366
01:13:48,280 --> 01:13:53,759
Speaker 2: what what is it that is keeping that team from

1367
01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:56,839
Speaker 2: really getting over the top. And maybe there's some easy

1368
01:13:56,880 --> 01:14:01,519
Speaker 2: answers like Patrick Mahomes, I get that, But while the

1369
01:14:01,560 --> 01:14:04,160
Speaker 2: world sits here and seems to have a hard time

1370
01:14:04,760 --> 01:14:08,760
Speaker 2: figuring out a way to give brock Purty credit. On

1371
01:14:08,840 --> 01:14:13,560
Speaker 2: the other hand, there are players like Josh Allen statistically fantastic.

1372
01:14:13,680 --> 01:14:17,840
Speaker 2: Any of us with eyes can see phenomenal player. There's

1373
01:14:17,840 --> 01:14:22,559
Speaker 2: no criticism here. However, whenever we go, okay, let's go

1374
01:14:22,600 --> 01:14:24,519
Speaker 2: around to the top qbs in the game, we go, well,

1375
01:14:24,560 --> 01:14:29,840
Speaker 2: there's Mahomes and Allen and it's like, yeah, but don't

1376
01:14:29,840 --> 01:14:35,040
Speaker 2: we also usually reserve that conversation for not just what

1377
01:14:35,080 --> 01:14:38,000
Speaker 2: we see with our eyes, but also the achievement, the resume,

1378
01:14:38,800 --> 01:14:42,080
Speaker 2: and look, he's still a really young player. But by

1379
01:14:42,120 --> 01:14:45,439
Speaker 2: the same token, Josh Allen gets a lot of credit

1380
01:14:45,600 --> 01:14:51,200
Speaker 2: almost as if he has done what Mahomes and Burrow

1381
01:14:51,320 --> 01:14:54,840
Speaker 2: and even Hurts and Stafford have done, which is at

1382
01:14:54,920 --> 01:14:57,360
Speaker 2: least appear in a Super Bowl.

1383
01:14:58,920 --> 01:15:01,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, you mentioned Burrow. That was going to be another

1384
01:15:01,960 --> 01:15:05,000
Speaker 4: name that I threw in there in terms of you

1385
01:15:05,040 --> 01:15:07,640
Speaker 4: look at the last two years, last three years in

1386
01:15:07,680 --> 01:15:11,519
Speaker 4: the playoffs, it's been those two guys that have sent

1387
01:15:11,600 --> 01:15:16,200
Speaker 4: him home and ultimately kept them short of playing in

1388
01:15:16,240 --> 01:15:19,519
Speaker 4: the biggest stage on the Super Bowl. And you know it,

1389
01:15:20,800 --> 01:15:22,920
Speaker 4: it is like you could put up all the status

1390
01:15:22,960 --> 01:15:25,439
Speaker 4: you want at some point. You know, this is a

1391
01:15:25,520 --> 01:15:27,400
Speaker 4: huge opportunity for Josh to.

1392
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:28,800
Speaker 1: Get over the hump.

1393
01:15:28,840 --> 01:15:30,680
Speaker 4: And you know, you look at another injury that they

1394
01:15:30,720 --> 01:15:34,679
Speaker 4: suffered this week, you know, back to back weeks losing

1395
01:15:35,720 --> 01:15:39,120
Speaker 4: huge parts of their defense. Last week it was Treudevius White,

1396
01:15:39,160 --> 01:15:42,480
Speaker 4: this week it's Matt Mulano. Sounds like, you know, potentially

1397
01:15:42,560 --> 01:15:44,840
Speaker 4: a leg slash knee injury that's going to keep him

1398
01:15:44,840 --> 01:15:48,280
Speaker 4: out for the rest of the year. And you know,

1399
01:15:48,880 --> 01:15:52,280
Speaker 4: none of that matters for the way that people are

1400
01:15:52,360 --> 01:15:55,320
Speaker 4: going to scrutinize Josh Allen if he doesn't ultimately get

1401
01:15:55,320 --> 01:15:57,760
Speaker 4: over the top. So you know, this could be one

1402
01:15:57,800 --> 01:16:02,040
Speaker 4: of those years where it doesn't matter what happens around him,

1403
01:16:02,400 --> 01:16:06,439
Speaker 4: he has to take over this team in a tough

1404
01:16:06,760 --> 01:16:11,240
Speaker 4: division and a tough conference and ultimately get over the top,

1405
01:16:11,640 --> 01:16:14,519
Speaker 4: or else it's gonna be, you know, just another one

1406
01:16:14,520 --> 01:16:17,720
Speaker 4: of these great players that looks the part, has the

1407
01:16:17,840 --> 01:16:22,360
Speaker 4: rocket arm, puts up crazy stats, but never never made

1408
01:16:22,360 --> 01:16:25,280
Speaker 4: it to the big one, never ultimately won the big one.

1409
01:16:25,800 --> 01:16:28,439
Speaker 2: I will say this also, though, to your London point,

1410
01:16:29,439 --> 01:16:32,160
Speaker 2: stuff like this happens in sports. There's already a lot

1411
01:16:32,200 --> 01:16:35,160
Speaker 2: of talk a couple of nights ago in baseball because

1412
01:16:35,200 --> 01:16:38,040
Speaker 2: it's like, oh, all the playoff teams that sat around

1413
01:16:38,080 --> 01:16:41,519
Speaker 2: for five days seemed to come out looking flat as

1414
01:16:41,600 --> 01:16:43,559
Speaker 2: compared to the teams that had to go to that

1415
01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:46,760
Speaker 2: first round, and a lot of those road teams came

1416
01:16:46,800 --> 01:16:50,280
Speaker 2: in in one game one a couple of nights ago,

1417
01:16:50,400 --> 01:16:54,080
Speaker 2: and so okay, that's that's that's one way to look

1418
01:16:54,120 --> 01:16:57,559
Speaker 2: at the whole thing. But I don't know that there's

1419
01:16:57,560 --> 01:16:59,920
Speaker 2: a way to fix that same thing here where it's like,

1420
01:17:00,080 --> 01:17:02,720
Speaker 2: wait a minute. The Jags got to hang out out

1421
01:17:02,720 --> 01:17:06,280
Speaker 2: there all week and the Bills had to go acclimate

1422
01:17:06,479 --> 01:17:11,400
Speaker 2: and the first half didn't look right, Kyle. That's part

1423
01:17:11,439 --> 01:17:14,400
Speaker 2: of sports. But I will say this, here's where they

1424
01:17:14,479 --> 01:17:18,280
Speaker 2: really messed up. If you're gonna do that, I have

1425
01:17:18,360 --> 01:17:21,320
Speaker 2: no issue with it, but you better make the Jags

1426
01:17:21,360 --> 01:17:25,200
Speaker 2: the home team. The Bills were the home team. They

1427
01:17:25,320 --> 01:17:28,200
Speaker 2: lost a home game to go do this, to go

1428
01:17:28,320 --> 01:17:31,240
Speaker 2: all the way across the world to play a team

1429
01:17:31,640 --> 01:17:34,360
Speaker 2: that is sort of the de facto home team already

1430
01:17:34,360 --> 01:17:37,280
Speaker 2: there anyway, Plus they got to sit there for a

1431
01:17:37,320 --> 01:17:40,000
Speaker 2: whole week. You cannot take a home game from a

1432
01:17:40,040 --> 01:17:42,000
Speaker 2: team and then put them in that situation.

1433
01:17:42,240 --> 01:17:46,120
Speaker 4: In my opinion, no doubt about it, especially because you

1434
01:17:46,160 --> 01:17:47,960
Speaker 4: look at a year and I don't know, I have

1435
01:17:48,040 --> 01:17:50,280
Speaker 4: to look at Buffalo's schedule the way it would shake

1436
01:17:50,320 --> 01:17:54,439
Speaker 4: out if they have nine or eight home games. You know,

1437
01:17:54,479 --> 01:17:58,120
Speaker 4: we've added this seventeenth game, and you know, if Buffalo

1438
01:17:58,240 --> 01:18:01,599
Speaker 4: is a team that has eight home games and nine

1439
01:18:01,720 --> 01:18:05,320
Speaker 4: road games, not counting London as home or away, just

1440
01:18:05,360 --> 01:18:07,760
Speaker 4: saying in general, if they have eight home games nine

1441
01:18:07,800 --> 01:18:10,559
Speaker 4: away games. It rotates each year which one you have

1442
01:18:11,360 --> 01:18:16,479
Speaker 4: and one of those home games was essentially an away

1443
01:18:16,600 --> 01:18:19,679
Speaker 4: game in London against a team that's been there all week.

1444
01:18:20,720 --> 01:18:21,840
Speaker 1: That's that's tough.

1445
01:18:21,920 --> 01:18:23,840
Speaker 4: And you know, it's not like you're just going over

1446
01:18:23,880 --> 01:18:28,799
Speaker 4: there and playing against anybody, like you're playing against another

1447
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:32,679
Speaker 4: team that you're going to be competing with for seeding

1448
01:18:32,720 --> 01:18:36,360
Speaker 4: in the AFC playoffs as they're sitting, you know, tied

1449
01:18:36,400 --> 01:18:37,880
Speaker 4: atop the AFC South.

1450
01:18:39,360 --> 01:18:42,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt about it. And so you know, I'm

1451
01:18:42,240 --> 01:18:45,519
Speaker 2: certainly not taking the Bills off of off of the

1452
01:18:45,560 --> 01:18:49,280
Speaker 2: list of teams that I think could could certainly be

1453
01:18:49,400 --> 01:18:52,479
Speaker 2: there in the end, but there seems to be Obviously

1454
01:18:52,520 --> 01:18:56,280
Speaker 2: whatever happened today, was it because of travel or whatnot.

1455
01:18:56,280 --> 01:18:59,519
Speaker 2: But there's a there's just something. There's something that's not

1456
01:18:59,680 --> 01:19:03,639
Speaker 2: quite there as far as the consistency, as far as

1457
01:19:03,720 --> 01:19:07,160
Speaker 2: finishing in the fourth quarter. There's something that's not quite

1458
01:19:07,200 --> 01:19:10,320
Speaker 2: there with the Bills when you try to compare them

1459
01:19:10,960 --> 01:19:14,719
Speaker 2: to some of these other teams that are out there now.

1460
01:19:14,760 --> 01:19:17,920
Speaker 2: With that said, we mentioned the Eagles, we mentioned the

1461
01:19:17,960 --> 01:19:22,400
Speaker 2: forty nine ers, the Cowboys. In the conversation. We've talked

1462
01:19:22,439 --> 01:19:26,520
Speaker 2: a little bit about Miami, We've talked now about Buffalo.

1463
01:19:26,840 --> 01:19:30,360
Speaker 2: Let's get to Cincinnati, who looks like maybe they're getting

1464
01:19:30,400 --> 01:19:33,240
Speaker 2: healthy and up off the mat. And nobody needs to

1465
01:19:33,280 --> 01:19:35,920
Speaker 2: mention anything about the Chiefs. We know that they are

1466
01:19:35,960 --> 01:19:39,840
Speaker 2: going to be a factor as well. All that said, man,

1467
01:19:39,880 --> 01:19:41,559
Speaker 2: there is one team we're leaving out.

1468
01:19:41,960 --> 01:19:43,439
Speaker 3: We are leaving them out.

1469
01:19:43,640 --> 01:19:46,799
Speaker 2: They are getting very consistent, and we will talk about

1470
01:19:46,840 --> 01:19:49,880
Speaker 2: them coming up next and take the temperature. It's Mark

Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's halftime a Sunday night football. The forty

1477
01:20:07,400 --> 01:20:09,519
Speaker 2: nine Ers lead the Cowboys twenty one to seven. Much

1478
01:20:09,560 --> 01:20:13,560
Speaker 2: more on that throughout our final hour together. But always

1479
01:20:14,400 --> 01:20:18,360
Speaker 2: always look for who's laying in the weeds. That can

1480
01:20:18,400 --> 01:20:21,200
Speaker 2: be true in life, it's certainly true on each play.

1481
01:20:21,600 --> 01:20:25,479
Speaker 2: That's the job of a quarterback and us as fans

1482
01:20:25,560 --> 01:20:28,360
Speaker 2: to look at what's going on across the league and

1483
01:20:28,400 --> 01:20:30,320
Speaker 2: see who's laying in the weeds. Because I got a

1484
01:20:30,360 --> 01:20:32,559
Speaker 2: team right now that, even though they had a lot

1485
01:20:32,600 --> 01:20:35,080
Speaker 2: of preseason hype, I don't really hear a lot of

1486
01:20:35,120 --> 01:20:37,799
Speaker 2: talk about them now, even though they've met the hype.

1487
01:20:37,960 --> 01:20:40,960
Speaker 2: We're broadcasting live from the tier rack dot com studios.

1491
01:20:52,640 --> 01:20:56,759
Speaker 2: especially with the way that their division is shaping up. Kyle,

1492
01:20:56,840 --> 01:20:59,679
Speaker 2: I bet you know exactly who I'm talking about. Why

1493
01:20:59,720 --> 01:21:02,560
Speaker 2: are we're so focused on the forty nine ers Eagles

1494
01:21:02,960 --> 01:21:06,400
Speaker 2: and to a degree of cowboys, and nobody's saying a

1495
01:21:06,439 --> 01:21:09,599
Speaker 2: word about the Detroit Lions, who when.

1496
01:21:09,439 --> 01:21:12,360
Speaker 3: I watched them, they're They're now for real.

1497
01:21:12,520 --> 01:21:15,920
Speaker 2: This is not just Hey, They've got some interesting receivers

1498
01:21:15,960 --> 01:21:18,000
Speaker 2: and an offense that can run it up on you.

1499
01:21:18,720 --> 01:21:21,080
Speaker 3: They play on both sides of the ball.

1500
01:21:21,560 --> 01:21:25,400
Speaker 2: They play smart. I've become a big fan of Dan Campbell,

1501
01:21:25,439 --> 01:21:29,120
Speaker 2: even though I laughed like crazy when he introduced himself

1502
01:21:29,120 --> 01:21:31,559
Speaker 2: the way he did before last year.

1503
01:21:32,240 --> 01:21:33,559
Speaker 3: Like he's done a.

1504
01:21:33,479 --> 01:21:37,840
Speaker 2: Really good job. And the Lions are a force to

1505
01:21:37,880 --> 01:21:38,599
Speaker 2: be reckoned with.

1506
01:21:39,680 --> 01:21:40,040
Speaker 1: They are.

1507
01:21:40,080 --> 01:21:42,120
Speaker 4: I mean, when you can go out and score twenty

1508
01:21:42,160 --> 01:21:46,680
Speaker 4: points a game fourteen straight times, as you were a

1509
01:21:46,720 --> 01:21:48,800
Speaker 4: really good chance in this league to go out and

1510
01:21:48,840 --> 01:21:52,000
Speaker 4: win weekend. And you know, we've seen way they finished

1511
01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:53,960
Speaker 4: the second half of last year and now.

1512
01:21:53,960 --> 01:21:54,800
Speaker 1: Stay four and one.

1513
01:21:54,880 --> 01:21:59,599
Speaker 4: You know, you just look across the entire NFL and

1514
01:21:59,680 --> 01:22:06,040
Speaker 4: they're is two other teams that have four wins. You

1515
01:22:06,120 --> 01:22:09,280
Speaker 4: mentioned the the forty nine Ers, the Eagles.

1516
01:22:09,680 --> 01:22:10,160
Speaker 1: That's it.

1517
01:22:10,920 --> 01:22:13,200
Speaker 4: We'll see if the Cowboys can get the four wins.

1518
01:22:13,240 --> 01:22:16,240
Speaker 4: It's certainly not looking like it right now at halftime

1519
01:22:16,240 --> 01:22:17,280
Speaker 4: of Sunday Night Football.

1520
01:22:17,880 --> 01:22:19,760
Speaker 1: But you know, they're right there. They're in.

1521
01:22:19,800 --> 01:22:24,760
Speaker 4: They're in that same conversation record wise as you know

1522
01:22:24,840 --> 01:22:28,360
Speaker 4: some of these top teams in the NFC, and you know,

1523
01:22:28,439 --> 01:22:31,280
Speaker 4: it's interesting, I think week about the offense and what

1524
01:22:31,400 --> 01:22:35,720
Speaker 4: Ben Jordinator there has done. I don't think they still

1525
01:22:35,720 --> 01:22:38,680
Speaker 4: get enough credit. You know, you just the fact that

1526
01:22:38,720 --> 01:22:43,439
Speaker 4: they're going out and weeke in and week out. It's

1527
01:22:43,439 --> 01:22:46,120
Speaker 4: not easy to score twenty points in the NFL like

1528
01:22:46,400 --> 01:22:50,599
Speaker 4: it's to do it fourteen times in a row. That's

1529
01:22:50,640 --> 01:22:54,920
Speaker 4: that's impressive. And it gives this you know, kind of revamped,

1530
01:22:55,240 --> 01:22:59,519
Speaker 4: younger Detroit Lions defense confidence to know, like we don't

1531
01:22:59,600 --> 01:23:03,480
Speaker 4: have to go out there and hold him to ten, thirteen, fourteen, seventeen.

1532
01:23:03,920 --> 01:23:05,599
Speaker 4: You know, we just we just gotta keep under twenty.

1533
01:23:05,720 --> 01:23:08,679
Speaker 4: If we keep him under twenty, we're gonna win every week.

1534
01:23:10,320 --> 01:23:13,559
Speaker 2: I mean, I know they played the Carolina Panthers today,

1535
01:23:14,160 --> 01:23:17,800
Speaker 2: but they scored forty two points and they did not

1536
01:23:17,920 --> 01:23:22,160
Speaker 2: have a'man ross Saint Brown. They did not have Jamier Gibbs.

1537
01:23:22,160 --> 01:23:26,200
Speaker 2: They're young receiving back who also change a pace with

1538
01:23:26,640 --> 01:23:29,600
Speaker 2: David Montgomery. Like that's the other thing I wanted to

1539
01:23:29,600 --> 01:23:32,479
Speaker 2: point out today. This is a banged up football team

1540
01:23:33,120 --> 01:23:37,280
Speaker 2: and their quarterback, for goodness sakes, has been left for debt.

1541
01:23:37,400 --> 01:23:40,800
Speaker 2: In terms of the national conversation. Nobody even brings him

1542
01:23:40,960 --> 01:23:46,880
Speaker 2: up and whatever it is about this offense and the

1543
01:23:46,960 --> 01:23:48,120
Speaker 2: personnel around him.

1544
01:23:49,160 --> 01:23:50,679
Speaker 3: Like Jared Goff has never been.

1545
01:23:50,600 --> 01:23:56,080
Speaker 2: Bad in the league, but statistically, somehow he's come alive.

1546
01:23:56,120 --> 01:24:00,200
Speaker 2: It's been a total rebirth. And you know, like I

1547
01:24:00,240 --> 01:24:02,799
Speaker 2: know that you still have some questions about the Eagles.

1548
01:24:03,200 --> 01:24:06,120
Speaker 2: I think with what we're watching tonight, we've definitely still

1549
01:24:06,160 --> 01:24:09,880
Speaker 2: got some questions about the Cowboys. I'm not one hundred

1550
01:24:09,880 --> 01:24:12,479
Speaker 2: percent sure that the Lions shouldn't be the higher on

1551
01:24:12,560 --> 01:24:13,840
Speaker 2: people's list than they are.

1552
01:24:14,960 --> 01:24:18,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you know, you look at this Lions

1553
01:24:18,520 --> 01:24:21,799
Speaker 4: team and the ability to go out and score points

1554
01:24:21,800 --> 01:24:25,920
Speaker 4: in there. You know, we talk about other teams getting better,

1555
01:24:26,360 --> 01:24:28,400
Speaker 4: they're getting better. They're only going to take it better

1556
01:24:28,600 --> 01:24:31,360
Speaker 4: as they get healthy. And you know, they added their

1557
01:24:31,960 --> 01:24:34,679
Speaker 4: first round pick from last year, who we really haven't

1558
01:24:34,680 --> 01:24:37,640
Speaker 4: seen a whole lot of in Jamison Williams, who is

1559
01:24:37,680 --> 01:24:42,360
Speaker 4: as dynamic and explosive as anyone in the National Football

1560
01:24:42,400 --> 01:24:45,559
Speaker 4: League when healthy. So you know, they keep adding all

1561
01:24:45,600 --> 01:24:49,400
Speaker 4: these pieces. You know, ultimately they'll get those other guys back,

1562
01:24:49,479 --> 01:24:51,920
Speaker 4: and you know, what does this offense look like in

1563
01:24:52,240 --> 01:24:55,720
Speaker 4: a division that's not very good when they're clicking on

1564
01:24:55,800 --> 01:24:59,679
Speaker 4: all cylinders as well? So I think everybody just assumed

1565
01:24:59,720 --> 01:25:04,240
Speaker 4: when the Lions and the Rams exchanged quarterbacks and LA

1566
01:25:04,479 --> 01:25:06,720
Speaker 4: sent Jared Brice comes in and wins the Super Bowl

1567
01:25:06,760 --> 01:25:09,439
Speaker 4: in the first year, that they were just sending Jared

1568
01:25:09,479 --> 01:25:13,000
Speaker 4: goff off to kind of go away, and you know,

1569
01:25:13,080 --> 01:25:16,080
Speaker 4: you he would go to Detroit to die and disappear

1570
01:25:16,240 --> 01:25:19,880
Speaker 4: and we wouldn't hear from him again. And yet here's

1571
01:25:19,920 --> 01:25:24,640
Speaker 4: a guy who's playing as about consistent football as anybody

1572
01:25:24,840 --> 01:25:27,840
Speaker 4: just he's a winner. He won in LA he's winning

1573
01:25:27,840 --> 01:25:33,559
Speaker 4: in Detroit and years from just opening up the checkbook again.

1574
01:25:34,200 --> 01:25:36,080
Speaker 2: I mean, it'd be a ton of fun right now

1575
01:25:36,080 --> 01:25:36,320
Speaker 2: to do.

1576
01:25:37,000 --> 01:25:37,120
Speaker 5: Uh.

1577
01:25:37,240 --> 01:25:40,000
Speaker 2: You know, you see this game on a different sports

1578
01:25:40,000 --> 01:25:42,600
Speaker 2: media platforms. Sometimes it's like take the name and the

1579
01:25:42,640 --> 01:25:45,920
Speaker 2: picture away, take it away, and and and then just

1580
01:25:45,960 --> 01:25:51,280
Speaker 2: put the numbers next to a faceless person. And if

1581
01:25:51,320 --> 01:25:55,040
Speaker 2: I told you you out a quarterback that was at

1582
01:25:55,120 --> 01:26:00,320
Speaker 2: sixty nine point eight percent in terms of completion, had

1583
01:26:00,360 --> 01:26:05,120
Speaker 2: a three to one touchdown to interception ratio, and was

1584
01:26:05,160 --> 01:26:08,400
Speaker 2: engineering the team that at this month, I think the

1585
01:26:08,439 --> 01:26:10,040
Speaker 2: forty nine ers are probably going to pass him here

1586
01:26:10,080 --> 01:26:13,800
Speaker 2: in the second half, but it's moment this person is

1587
01:26:13,840 --> 01:26:18,000
Speaker 2: engineering the top scoring team in his conference. I mean,

1588
01:26:18,439 --> 01:26:21,600
Speaker 2: wouldn't you be pretty excited about that quarterback? Everything I

1589
01:26:21,720 --> 01:26:23,000
Speaker 2: just said, that's Jared Goff.

1590
01:26:24,439 --> 01:26:28,639
Speaker 4: I mean it sounds like you're describing an MVP type candidate.

1591
01:26:28,680 --> 01:26:31,320
Speaker 4: You know, typically when we're talking about a team who's

1592
01:26:31,400 --> 01:26:34,960
Speaker 4: tied for the you know, conference lead and wins and

1593
01:26:35,600 --> 01:26:41,280
Speaker 4: three to one touchdown to interception leading scoring offense in

1594
01:26:41,320 --> 01:26:46,360
Speaker 4: the NFL, that's talking about an MVP candidate typically. But

1595
01:26:46,439 --> 01:26:48,600
Speaker 4: yet you throw the name of the picture next to

1596
01:26:48,640 --> 01:26:51,000
Speaker 4: those statistics and people, oh well it's you know, it's

1597
01:26:51,040 --> 01:26:53,599
Speaker 4: Jared Goff. It's like, well, it's time to stop saying,

1598
01:26:53,600 --> 01:26:55,400
Speaker 4: oh well, it's Jared Golf and give this guy the

1599
01:26:55,520 --> 01:26:59,200
Speaker 4: respect that he deserves because he's done nothing but win

1600
01:26:59,360 --> 01:27:02,120
Speaker 4: his entire career. When did you know We've said this

1601
01:27:02,160 --> 01:27:04,160
Speaker 4: a couple times with a lot of these quarterbacks. When

1602
01:27:04,200 --> 01:27:07,800
Speaker 4: did winning not become the only important stat And now

1603
01:27:07,840 --> 01:27:09,840
Speaker 4: he's filling up the rest of the stat sheet as

1604
01:27:09,840 --> 01:27:10,960
Speaker 4: well well.

1605
01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:13,639
Speaker 2: The other reason I love him is because they are

1606
01:27:13,760 --> 01:27:18,160
Speaker 2: in a division that is in some transition, and it

1607
01:27:18,439 --> 01:27:21,120
Speaker 2: looks and feels, especially with what they did at Lambeau

1608
01:27:21,240 --> 01:27:25,320
Speaker 2: last week, like Lions are going to cruise to that

1609
01:27:25,439 --> 01:27:29,200
Speaker 2: division championship and be a factor come January. While we're

1610
01:27:29,240 --> 01:27:34,040
Speaker 2: in that division. I love getting your very inside thoughts

1611
01:27:34,080 --> 01:27:37,080
Speaker 2: on the organization for which you played so many games,

1612
01:27:37,400 --> 01:27:40,720
Speaker 2: the Minnesota Vikings. There's no shame in losing a one

1613
01:27:40,760 --> 01:27:43,479
Speaker 2: score game to the Kansas City Chiefs. I think we

1614
01:27:43,520 --> 01:27:46,519
Speaker 2: all get that, But the developing situation there for me

1615
01:27:47,160 --> 01:27:51,200
Speaker 2: is truly a head scratcher. Like I think I know

1616
01:27:51,320 --> 01:27:53,439
Speaker 2: that if I were running the team, which way I

1617
01:27:53,479 --> 01:27:58,040
Speaker 2: would go, But by the same token, I understand how

1618
01:27:58,160 --> 01:28:03,400
Speaker 2: difficult it is emotion and maybe unpopular. Justin Jefferson's going

1619
01:28:03,439 --> 01:28:06,599
Speaker 2: to want to get every dollar and he deserves them all.

1620
01:28:06,920 --> 01:28:09,519
Speaker 2: I think he's the best wide receiver in the game.

1621
01:28:09,880 --> 01:28:12,840
Speaker 2: You know, apologies to Diggs in Hill and whatnot, they're

1622
01:28:12,880 --> 01:28:15,320
Speaker 2: all right there, but I think Justin, for my money,

1623
01:28:15,760 --> 01:28:18,679
Speaker 2: that's the dude. And he'll get the biggest wide receiver

1624
01:28:18,760 --> 01:28:23,439
Speaker 2: contract in the game. And he's starting already, especially now

1625
01:28:23,439 --> 01:28:26,959
Speaker 2: at one and four, to chirp a little bit about

1626
01:28:27,160 --> 01:28:29,559
Speaker 2: the future of the organization. If I'm going to be

1627
01:28:29,640 --> 01:28:34,040
Speaker 2: here and sign that big contract, who's throwing me the ball?

1628
01:28:34,640 --> 01:28:38,439
Speaker 2: And that puts the organization in a spot where it's like, so,

1629
01:28:38,520 --> 01:28:41,160
Speaker 2: wait a minute, you want us to do maybe thirty

1630
01:28:41,200 --> 01:28:46,040
Speaker 2: five million a year for you and fifty to fifty

1631
01:28:46,120 --> 01:28:49,760
Speaker 2: five million for Kirk? Is that like?

1632
01:28:49,920 --> 01:28:51,880
Speaker 3: How how do they do that?

1633
01:28:52,280 --> 01:28:56,240
Speaker 2: So the question becomes, how do you keep Justin Jefferson

1634
01:28:56,840 --> 01:28:58,520
Speaker 2: happy in this situation?

1635
01:29:00,400 --> 01:29:03,680
Speaker 4: Was it do you give Kirk fifty five million? Or

1636
01:29:05,080 --> 01:29:09,680
Speaker 4: does maybe he have a little bit of say and

1637
01:29:10,320 --> 01:29:13,639
Speaker 4: who this quarterback is that you might bring in through

1638
01:29:13,680 --> 01:29:16,240
Speaker 4: the draft? I mean at one and four right now,

1639
01:29:17,400 --> 01:29:21,040
Speaker 4: we've talked about it. You know, well, I think the

1640
01:29:21,120 --> 01:29:24,559
Speaker 4: big thing that hangs over the Minnesota Vikings and I'm

1641
01:29:24,600 --> 01:29:24,840
Speaker 4: going to.

1642
01:29:24,920 --> 01:29:26,400
Speaker 1: Go back to last year.

1643
01:29:27,000 --> 01:29:33,000
Speaker 4: So last year it's the ultimate clean house, new GM,

1644
01:29:33,200 --> 01:29:36,519
Speaker 4: new head coach, new staff, Like the whole building is

1645
01:29:36,560 --> 01:29:39,920
Speaker 4: completely different. And you know, you know, this whole term

1646
01:29:40,520 --> 01:29:43,800
Speaker 4: give rebuild been thrown around by the GM in Minnesota

1647
01:29:44,000 --> 01:29:49,480
Speaker 4: quite a few times, and it's I think it's deceiving

1648
01:29:49,600 --> 01:29:52,439
Speaker 4: to look at the success that they had last year.

1649
01:29:53,160 --> 01:29:56,200
Speaker 4: They won eleven to one score games last year, so

1650
01:29:56,240 --> 01:29:59,400
Speaker 4: they I think they finished the year thirteen and four

1651
01:29:59,680 --> 01:30:02,479
Speaker 4: or some thing like that, so they eleven of those

1652
01:30:02,520 --> 01:30:05,280
Speaker 4: thirteen wins were one score games.

1653
01:30:05,720 --> 01:30:06,120
Speaker 2: Correct.

1654
01:30:06,160 --> 01:30:09,599
Speaker 4: This year they're one and four and all four of

1655
01:30:09,640 --> 01:30:14,160
Speaker 4: the losses are one score games. So at some point

1656
01:30:14,560 --> 01:30:17,160
Speaker 4: that pendulum is gonna switch.

1657
01:30:17,439 --> 01:30:18,400
Speaker 1: You Just it's like.

1658
01:30:20,560 --> 01:30:23,080
Speaker 4: You know, in high school and you're you're trying to

1659
01:30:23,160 --> 01:30:26,280
Speaker 4: sneak in after curfew, night after night after night after night.

1660
01:30:26,280 --> 01:30:27,960
Speaker 4: At some point mom and dad are gonna catch you.

1661
01:30:27,960 --> 01:30:30,519
Speaker 4: You're gonna get caught. Yeah, You're gonna catch up to you.

1662
01:30:30,560 --> 01:30:33,160
Speaker 4: And now here they are on the other side of

1663
01:30:33,200 --> 01:30:35,719
Speaker 4: all those one score losses. But I bring back last

1664
01:30:35,800 --> 01:30:40,040
Speaker 4: year because it was almost it slowed down the rebuild

1665
01:30:40,040 --> 01:30:42,040
Speaker 4: because they said, well, hold on, we're thirteen and four, Like,

1666
01:30:42,080 --> 01:30:45,120
Speaker 4: we're not rebuilding, we're competitive, We're gonna go try to

1667
01:30:45,320 --> 01:30:48,519
Speaker 4: win a super Bowl. And it's like if they if

1668
01:30:48,520 --> 01:30:51,240
Speaker 4: they would have started one and four last year and

1669
01:30:51,439 --> 01:30:55,080
Speaker 4: lost those first four games, you know what would the

1670
01:30:55,160 --> 01:30:58,040
Speaker 4: mentality and mindset have been in terms of the general

1671
01:30:58,080 --> 01:31:01,559
Speaker 4: direction of the organization. So you know, we had talked

1672
01:31:01,560 --> 01:31:03,519
Speaker 4: about teams that you look at the bottom of the

1673
01:31:03,600 --> 01:31:06,599
Speaker 4: league right now and teams that are jockeying for one

1674
01:31:06,640 --> 01:31:09,880
Speaker 4: of those top five slots to get their quarterback of

1675
01:31:09,920 --> 01:31:10,439
Speaker 4: the future.

1676
01:31:11,680 --> 01:31:13,200
Speaker 1: Again, I've said it.

1677
01:31:13,160 --> 01:31:16,519
Speaker 4: Multiple times, I don't see how the Vikings wouldn't be

1678
01:31:16,560 --> 01:31:18,840
Speaker 4: one of those teams. And it's like, if you want

1679
01:31:18,880 --> 01:31:22,840
Speaker 4: to keep justin happy, certainly thirty five million dollars a

1680
01:31:22,920 --> 01:31:24,439
Speaker 4: year is going to keep anyone happy.

1681
01:31:25,320 --> 01:31:27,120
Speaker 1: That's a good start.

1682
01:31:27,560 --> 01:31:30,400
Speaker 4: But then you know, you look at a lot of

1683
01:31:30,400 --> 01:31:33,320
Speaker 4: these teams that have rookie it's kind of been this

1684
01:31:33,439 --> 01:31:36,280
Speaker 4: common thread. You got rookie quarterback and then everybody else

1685
01:31:36,360 --> 01:31:38,800
Speaker 4: is making a ton of money. So you know, it's

1686
01:31:38,800 --> 01:31:41,760
Speaker 4: a rookie quarterback and some other pieces around him that

1687
01:31:41,840 --> 01:31:44,200
Speaker 4: you can now go get because you're not paying somebody

1688
01:31:44,280 --> 01:31:47,280
Speaker 4: else fifty five million, so you can go get two

1689
01:31:47,320 --> 01:31:50,080
Speaker 4: really good football players that might not be throwing him

1690
01:31:50,120 --> 01:31:53,600
Speaker 4: the ball, but maybe they can block for the quarterback

1691
01:31:53,840 --> 01:31:57,599
Speaker 4: or you know, provide a run game that just gives

1692
01:31:57,640 --> 01:32:02,080
Speaker 4: you more opportunities and more space to do your thing.

1693
01:32:03,080 --> 01:32:05,080

01:32:22,080 --> 01:32:23,760
Speaker 2: it looked for a moment. Are we going to see

1699
01:32:23,800 --> 01:32:28,080
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson mag again? We didn't. There's a different team

1700
01:32:28,520 --> 01:32:31,680
Speaker 2: who has magic. Can't quite figure it out, but it's

1701
01:32:31,680 --> 01:32:35,519

01:32:39,120 --> 01:32:43,080
Speaker 2: blow your absolute mind, and I've got one of those

1704
01:32:43,520 --> 01:32:48,800
Speaker 2: also coming up next on Fox Sports Radio. Well, this

1705
01:32:48,920 --> 01:32:52,120
Speaker 2: kind of party atmosphere is probably permeating the forty nine

1706
01:32:52,160 --> 01:32:54,839
Speaker 2: ers sideline right now. This game far from over Dallas

1707
01:32:54,880 --> 01:32:57,759
Speaker 2: with an opening drive field goal to open the second half.

1708
01:32:58,439 --> 01:33:00,479
Speaker 2: But the forty nine ers now have the ball on

1709
01:33:00,560 --> 01:33:04,680
Speaker 2: eleven point lead and are driving near midfield. Keep you

1710
01:33:04,960 --> 01:33:10,320
Speaker 2: up to date live tie right dot Com Studios, Mark Willard,

1711
01:33:10,400 --> 01:33:12,919
Speaker 2: Kyle Rudolph with you. I don't want to jinx anything

1712
01:33:14,960 --> 01:33:17,839
Speaker 2: and so you can blame me if something happens next.

1713
01:33:17,880 --> 01:33:22,920
Speaker 2: But brock Party's first throw of the second half was

1714
01:33:22,960 --> 01:33:25,439
Speaker 2: an absolute thing of beauty. I mean drops it over

1715
01:33:25,479 --> 01:33:28,120
Speaker 2: a linebacker's head, right in front of a safety to

1716
01:33:28,240 --> 01:33:31,519
Speaker 2: a darting Brandon Aiyuk stride for stride, and only a

1717
01:33:31,640 --> 01:33:36,040
Speaker 2: shoe string tackle stopped that from being a really really

1718
01:33:36,040 --> 01:33:40,080
Speaker 2: big game into Dallas territory, possibly even something that would

1719
01:33:40,120 --> 01:33:43,439
Speaker 2: go all the way. I bring up Brock to throw

1720
01:33:43,520 --> 01:33:50,519
Speaker 2: you this stat. Kyle brock Party's last interception was thrown

1721
01:33:50,680 --> 01:33:55,519
Speaker 2: on New Year's Day against the Raiders in Las Vegas,

1722
01:33:55,920 --> 01:34:01,439
Speaker 2: a week seventeen victory for the forty nine in which

1723
01:34:01,439 --> 01:34:04,479
Speaker 2: they trailed by ten points at one point come back

1724
01:34:04,520 --> 01:34:07,959
Speaker 2: to win. Now, these stats do not include the completion

1725
01:34:08,160 --> 01:34:12,240
Speaker 2: that he just had here in the second half and

1726
01:34:12,320 --> 01:34:14,800
Speaker 2: a few of his other second quarter completions, so you

1727
01:34:14,800 --> 01:34:17,760
Speaker 2: can update this even further, but as of less than

1728
01:34:17,760 --> 01:34:22,479
Speaker 2: an hour ago. Since his last interception, brock Perty's numbers

1729
01:34:22,479 --> 01:34:26,799
Speaker 2: are one hundred and fifty two completions in two hundred

1730
01:34:26,800 --> 01:34:30,559
Speaker 2: and twenty two attempts for two thy twenty three yards,

1731
01:34:31,040 --> 01:34:36,000
Speaker 2: thirteen touchdowns and no interceptions for a passer rating of

1732
01:34:36,120 --> 01:34:40,000
Speaker 2: one sixteen point six. And yes, those numbers have gone

1733
01:34:40,080 --> 01:34:41,439
Speaker 2: up since then.

1734
01:34:42,840 --> 01:34:45,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's impressive what he's able to do. And

1735
01:34:45,560 --> 01:34:48,639
Speaker 4: I think that's really a testament to you know, talking

1736
01:34:48,680 --> 01:34:51,840
Speaker 4: about the improvement that we've seen from him. You know,

1737
01:34:51,920 --> 01:34:54,439
Speaker 4: it's one thing to take over the team late in

1738
01:34:54,479 --> 01:34:56,559
Speaker 4: the year last year when he did go out there.

1739
01:34:57,240 --> 01:35:00,719
Speaker 4: You know, no quarterback wants to be called a game manager,

1740
01:35:00,840 --> 01:35:03,000
Speaker 4: but you know, let's be honest, that's that's kind of

1741
01:35:03,040 --> 01:35:06,160
Speaker 4: what he did late in the year last year as

1742
01:35:06,400 --> 01:35:09,880
Speaker 4: as a guy who didn't it was a third string

1743
01:35:10,000 --> 01:35:12,880
Speaker 4: quarterback entering the season, had no expectations of being on

1744
01:35:12,920 --> 01:35:16,519
Speaker 4: the field. But he's elevated his game week after week

1745
01:35:16,560 --> 01:35:19,040
Speaker 4: after week. Too. Now you all of a sudden, you

1746
01:35:19,080 --> 01:35:22,040
Speaker 4: go back and you're like, that's an eye popping stat

1747
01:35:22,080 --> 01:35:24,439
Speaker 4: that you wouldn't realize because we've just watched week in

1748
01:35:24,439 --> 01:35:27,559
Speaker 4: and week out the improvement that we see and then

1749
01:35:27,560 --> 01:35:29,880
Speaker 4: you don't look. You don't ever take the time to

1750
01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:32,360
Speaker 4: take a step back and look at the entire picture

1751
01:35:32,880 --> 01:35:37,759
Speaker 4: of the two thousand, hover many yards he's thrown since

1752
01:35:37,800 --> 01:35:41,519
Speaker 4: his last interception, so you know, it's impressive. And there

1753
01:35:41,520 --> 01:35:43,519
Speaker 4: he is right on Q with another big throw to

1754
01:35:43,520 --> 01:35:44,920
Speaker 4: Ayuk down the sideline.

1755
01:35:45,240 --> 01:35:48,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, this one getting called back because of a holding penalty,

1756
01:35:48,439 --> 01:35:51,960
Speaker 2: but it does not take away from the at least

1757
01:35:51,960 --> 01:35:54,120
Speaker 2: the ability that he just showed. I mean, I throw

1758
01:35:54,200 --> 01:35:58,040
Speaker 2: that stat out to again illustrate what a weird deal

1759
01:35:58,120 --> 01:36:01,160
Speaker 2: that we're sitting here having a national conversation over whether

1760
01:36:01,200 --> 01:36:05,599
Speaker 2: or not he's actually good. Like, what a weird, weird deal.

1761
01:36:06,200 --> 01:36:08,599
Speaker 1: I mean, certainly that throw just made the debu Samuel

1762
01:36:08,680 --> 01:36:09,040
Speaker 1: was good.

1763
01:36:09,120 --> 01:36:13,080
Speaker 2: So yeah, at third and fourteen and that's yeah, the

1764
01:36:13,240 --> 01:36:15,560
Speaker 2: forty yards first down unbelievable.

1765
01:36:16,000 --> 01:36:19,320
Speaker 4: And then those are those are NFL type throws. It

1766
01:36:19,360 --> 01:36:21,719
Speaker 4: doesn't matter, you know, we've talked about what an NFL

1767
01:36:21,800 --> 01:36:25,840
Speaker 4: quarterback looks like. It doesn't matter if you're six '

1768
01:36:25,880 --> 01:36:28,479
Speaker 4: five and you have a rocket arm, But can you

1769
01:36:28,600 --> 01:36:31,240
Speaker 4: throw an in cut twenty yards down the field over

1770
01:36:31,560 --> 01:36:35,360
Speaker 4: a linebacker's head who's standing at fifteen yards like that?

1771
01:36:35,360 --> 01:36:37,519
Speaker 4: That is an NFL throw, a ball that you have

1772
01:36:37,560 --> 01:36:40,320
Speaker 4: to get up and down in a hurry and put

1773
01:36:40,320 --> 01:36:44,360
Speaker 4: it right on stride. You know, Deebo barely broke stride

1774
01:36:44,400 --> 01:36:46,040
Speaker 4: as he was running across the middle and he's able

1775
01:36:46,080 --> 01:36:48,960
Speaker 4: to come out the other side. So you know, those

1776
01:36:49,000 --> 01:36:53,240
Speaker 4: are legitimate NFL throws of a quarterback who needs to

1777
01:36:53,400 --> 01:36:57,519
Speaker 4: be recognized as you know, one of these top five

1778
01:36:57,640 --> 01:37:00,920
Speaker 4: top ten guys that we're talking about on a consistent basis.

1779
01:37:01,640 --> 01:37:03,760
Speaker 2: Niners in the red zone. We will keep you up

1780
01:37:03,800 --> 01:37:04,160
Speaker 2: to date.

1781
01:37:04,280 --> 01:37:06,040
Speaker 3: Russell Wilson, Magic Kyle.

1782
01:37:06,080 --> 01:37:08,320
Speaker 2: I don't know if it exists anymore, but I know

1783
01:37:08,360 --> 01:37:11,720
Speaker 2: who does have magic still in the hip pocket. His

1784
01:37:11,800 --> 01:37:15,280
Speaker 2: name is Mike Tomlin. The Pittsburgh Steelers are in first

1785
01:37:15,320 --> 01:37:19,280
Speaker 2: place and I don't know how. And there is that

1786
01:37:20,200 --> 01:37:23,920
Speaker 2: stat that everyone started buzzing about before the year that

1787
01:37:24,400 --> 01:37:28,000
Speaker 2: through it all, whether he had Roethlisberger or not, Tomlin

1788
01:37:28,080 --> 01:37:32,719
Speaker 2: has never not had a winning record. It's never happened

1789
01:37:32,720 --> 01:37:36,640
Speaker 2: in the history of his time there with the Steelers.

1790
01:37:36,880 --> 01:37:39,040
Speaker 2: And I don't know where this season is going to end,

1791
01:37:39,080 --> 01:37:41,679
Speaker 2: but we went to forty eight hours ago not even

1792
01:37:41,720 --> 01:37:45,680
Speaker 2: knowing if his starting quarterback was going to be available

1793
01:37:46,240 --> 01:37:49,320
Speaker 2: and a Baltimore Ravens team coming in at three to

1794
01:37:49,360 --> 01:37:55,639
Speaker 2: one that quite frankly dominated the play in this game

1795
01:37:55,680 --> 01:37:58,760
Speaker 2: for the majority of it, even though Lamar was just

1796
01:37:58,920 --> 01:38:01,240
Speaker 2: not able to do enough to sort of pull away

1797
01:38:01,720 --> 01:38:04,920
Speaker 2: and then bay them. The final eight minutes of the game,

1798
01:38:05,120 --> 01:38:08,439
Speaker 2: everything that could go the Steelers way did, including a

1799
01:38:08,680 --> 01:38:12,240
Speaker 2: drop in the bucket dime down the right side line

1800
01:38:12,280 --> 01:38:15,519
Speaker 2: from picket to pick INDs And next thing you know,

1801
01:38:15,960 --> 01:38:19,519
Speaker 2: the Steelers are doing it again, and they are three

1802
01:38:19,560 --> 01:38:23,040
Speaker 2: and two and and you're looking at it, going how

1803
01:38:23,479 --> 01:38:26,240
Speaker 2: how this team, what they looked like on opening weekend

1804
01:38:26,280 --> 01:38:28,559
Speaker 2: against the forty nine ers, for them to have won

1805
01:38:28,640 --> 01:38:33,080
Speaker 2: three or four since then is surprising, Let's just put

1806
01:38:33,120 --> 01:38:33,639
Speaker 2: it that way.

1807
01:38:34,080 --> 01:38:36,120
Speaker 4: Well, and the one that they lost out of the

1808
01:38:36,120 --> 01:38:38,759
Speaker 4: three or four, what they did last week in Houston,

1809
01:38:38,880 --> 01:38:41,920
Speaker 4: you know, I mean everyone in national media is like,

1810
01:38:41,960 --> 01:38:45,200
Speaker 4: all right, Mike, Mike tom Like, it's over. That's you know,

1811
01:38:45,240 --> 01:38:49,520
Speaker 4: it's it's done. You go a rookie quarterback in Houston,

1812
01:38:49,920 --> 01:38:52,320
Speaker 4: you know, and they just hang it on you. It

1813
01:38:52,360 --> 01:38:55,640
Speaker 4: wasn't even a close loss. It was a blowout loss.

1814
01:38:56,240 --> 01:38:56,479
Speaker 1: You know.

1815
01:38:56,520 --> 01:38:59,519
Speaker 4: And I give Mike Tomlin credit because he stands up

1816
01:38:59,520 --> 01:39:03,479
Speaker 4: there at the podium after that game and addresses it

1817
01:39:03,600 --> 01:39:06,360
Speaker 4: and takes it head on, and they go back home

1818
01:39:06,720 --> 01:39:10,640
Speaker 4: and win a huge division game at home, and now

1819
01:39:10,680 --> 01:39:14,840
Speaker 4: they're sitting in first place in a division. You know,

1820
01:39:15,280 --> 01:39:18,639
Speaker 4: I don't know, we wrote Cincinnati off, and now here's

1821
01:39:18,640 --> 01:39:22,799
Speaker 4: Cincinnati at two and three, one game out of first place.

1822
01:39:22,920 --> 01:39:27,120
Speaker 4: Because you have Baltimore and Pittsburgh now at three and two,

1823
01:39:27,800 --> 01:39:31,200
Speaker 4: and you know there's Cleveland sitting there at two and

1824
01:39:31,280 --> 01:39:34,360
Speaker 4: two with the bye week this week. So a division

1825
01:39:34,400 --> 01:39:38,000
Speaker 4: that's really still up for grabs. You know, it's going

1826
01:39:38,080 --> 01:39:40,120
Speaker 4: to be interesting. Certainly, would love to talk about the

1827
01:39:40,160 --> 01:39:42,559
Speaker 4: Bengals and what they have to do to win, because

1828
01:39:42,840 --> 01:39:45,720
Speaker 4: I don't know, if can you just throw it to

1829
01:39:45,760 --> 01:39:50,120
Speaker 4: Jamar Chase every time? You know, ultimately seems like in

1830
01:39:50,160 --> 01:39:54,920
Speaker 4: the Bengals two wins that's been the plan, and their losses,

1831
01:39:55,479 --> 01:39:58,200
Speaker 4: you know, it's just Jamar Chase talking about that. You know, Hey,

1832
01:39:58,360 --> 01:40:00,000
Speaker 4: it might not look like I'm open, but I'm hope

1833
01:40:00,080 --> 01:40:02,040
Speaker 4: and just throw me the ball in. Now you have

1834
01:40:02,120 --> 01:40:04,360
Speaker 4: to believe him because here you go. You go back

1835
01:40:04,360 --> 01:40:08,200
Speaker 4: and look at their two wins and he's over one

1836
01:40:08,280 --> 01:40:11,400
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty both times today he goes for fifteen

1837
01:40:11,439 --> 01:40:15,720
Speaker 4: and three touchdowns, just crazy video game type numbers. So

1838
01:40:16,760 --> 01:40:20,320
Speaker 4: the AFC North is certainly a division that's up for grabs.

1839
01:40:21,160 --> 01:40:24,880
Speaker 2: Total devil magic with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and you're right,

1840
01:40:25,000 --> 01:40:28,280
Speaker 2: everybody's either three and two or two and three. And

1841
01:40:28,400 --> 01:40:30,800
Speaker 2: as always, it feels like when they play each other,

1842
01:40:31,160 --> 01:40:33,840
Speaker 2: someone has seventeen and someone else has a little bit

1843
01:40:33,920 --> 01:40:36,479
Speaker 2: less than that and that's how the game ends. And

1844
01:40:36,560 --> 01:40:39,559
Speaker 2: it was the same thing again today on the Steelers side.

1845
01:40:39,600 --> 01:40:42,479
Speaker 2: I'm glad you brought up the Bengals. I would love

1846
01:40:42,560 --> 01:40:45,960
Speaker 2: to talk about this football team that started to look

1847
01:40:46,479 --> 01:40:52,160
Speaker 2: like a version of itself finally today. However, they've got

1848
01:40:52,200 --> 01:40:57,280
Speaker 2: a huge month long question mark coming up next, so

1849
01:40:58,040 --> 01:40:59,960
Speaker 2: we'll get to that here in just a moment.

1850
01:41:00,040 --> 01:41:00,920
Speaker 3: But let's get Steve de.

1851
01:41:00,960 --> 01:41:04,120
Speaker 2: Sega in, get everybody updated, because yes, there has been

1852
01:41:04,160 --> 01:41:06,360
Speaker 2: another change in Sunday Night football.

1853
01:41:06,400 --> 01:41:08,640
Speaker 7: Hey, Steve, and you mentioned that game in Pittsburgh. It

1854
01:41:08,720 --> 01:41:12,240
Speaker 7: was ten to eight Baltimore with two minutes left. Just

1855
01:41:12,280 --> 01:41:15,160
Speaker 7: for the record, Steelers still at seventeen to ten. The

1856
01:41:15,200 --> 01:41:18,000
Speaker 7: final well you mentioned on this last drive and San

1857
01:41:18,040 --> 01:41:21,639
Speaker 7: Francisco wound up Cashian for another touchdown against Dallas. They

1858
01:41:21,680 --> 01:41:24,479
Speaker 7: converted a third and fourteen on a long pass to

1859
01:41:24,560 --> 01:41:28,960
Speaker 7: Deebo Samuel, a forty three yard completion. AP points out

1860
01:41:29,000 --> 01:41:32,120
Speaker 7: that the Cowboys defense, which is not too shabby coming

1861
01:41:32,160 --> 01:41:35,320
Speaker 7: into tonight, when the opponents had third and seven or more,

1862
01:41:35,800 --> 01:41:39,800
Speaker 7: opponents were one for twenty on those third downs. The

1863
01:41:39,880 --> 01:41:42,280
Speaker 7: Niners are killing them tonight. It's twenty eight to ten

1864
01:41:42,439 --> 01:41:46,160
Speaker 7: mid third quarter. Three touchdown passes from Brock Purty, all

1865
01:41:46,200 --> 01:41:50,320
Speaker 7: three to George Kittle nineteen yards, thirty eight yards, and

1866
01:41:50,400 --> 01:41:53,519
Speaker 7: now a ten yard TD pass. Those are the only

1867
01:41:53,640 --> 01:41:57,680
Speaker 7: three receptions Kittle has in this game and three touchdowns.

1868
01:41:58,120 --> 01:42:00,280
Speaker 7: So the Niners as a team, they also buy the way.

1869
01:42:00,280 --> 01:42:03,040
Speaker 7: I have a one yard TD from Christian McCaffrey that

1870
01:42:03,120 --> 01:42:07,080
Speaker 7: happened late in the first half. McCaffrey, for those counting,

1871
01:42:07,200 --> 01:42:11,560
Speaker 7: has scored a touchdown in fourteen straight games, including playoffs.

1872
01:42:12,000 --> 01:42:15,000
Speaker 7: That is a forty nine Ers record. The NFL record

1873
01:42:15,080 --> 01:42:18,200
Speaker 7: in the Super Bowl era is in fifteen games in

1874
01:42:18,240 --> 01:42:22,200
Speaker 7: a row a touchdown set by Oj Simpson and John Riggins.

1875
01:42:22,880 --> 01:42:28,599
Speaker 7: It's Dallas with five first downs, San Francisco with four touchdowns. No,

1876
01:42:28,840 --> 01:42:32,439
Speaker 7: it's not close. Twenty eight ten Niners mid third quarter,

1877
01:42:32,880 --> 01:42:36,160
Speaker 7: Kansas City a winner at Minnesota twenty seven to twenty.

1878
01:42:36,160 --> 01:42:39,280
Speaker 7: Travis Kelcey despite a sprained ankle at a touchdown catch,

1879
01:42:39,280 --> 01:42:43,120
Speaker 7: he finished with ten receptions sixty seven yards. Patrick Mahomes

1880
01:42:43,240 --> 01:42:46,599
Speaker 7: two td passes in the third quarter. Philadelphia is five

1881
01:42:46,680 --> 01:42:50,200
Speaker 7: to oh, beating the Rams in LA Today twenty three fourteen.

1882
01:42:50,280 --> 01:42:54,040
Speaker 7: Quarterback Jalen hurts On fifteen carries at seventy two yards rushing,

1883
01:42:54,400 --> 01:42:58,760
Speaker 7: two total touchdowns and three hundred three yards passing Cincinnati

1884
01:42:58,800 --> 01:43:02,519
Speaker 7: one at Arizona thirty five to twenty. Jamar Chase fifteen catches,

1885
01:43:02,560 --> 01:43:06,000
Speaker 7: one hundred ninety two yards and three touchdowns. Chase was

1886
01:43:06,040 --> 01:43:09,640
Speaker 7: targeted nineteen times in this game. The Jets won at

1887
01:43:09,680 --> 01:43:13,240
Speaker 7: Denver thirty one twenty one Denver with three fumbles. Each

1888
01:43:13,320 --> 01:43:16,280
Speaker 7: quarterback was sacked four times. Breise Hall for the Jets

1889
01:43:16,280 --> 01:43:19,919
Speaker 7: twenty two carries one hundred and seventy seven yards, including

1890
01:43:19,960 --> 01:43:24,960
Speaker 7: a seventy two yard touchdown, and DeAndre Hopkins is still

1891
01:43:25,000 --> 01:43:27,439
Speaker 7: in the league. Lady and Gentlemen. Yes, Tennessee lost it

1892
01:43:27,520 --> 01:43:29,920
Speaker 7: in the twenty three to sixteen, but Hopkins for the

1893
01:43:29,960 --> 01:43:33,479
Speaker 7: Titans eight catches one hundred and forty yards In his

1894
01:43:33,560 --> 01:43:36,719
Speaker 7: eleven seasons in the league, he's had one hundred yard

1895
01:43:36,720 --> 01:43:41,960
Speaker 7: receiving game with eleven different quarterbacks, including Tannehill. Today, the

1896
01:43:42,080 --> 01:43:46,120
Speaker 7: NFL record is with twelve different qbs to Shawn Jackson

1897
01:43:46,280 --> 01:43:50,639
Speaker 7: and Joey Gallaware wins for Detroit again, for Miami again,

1898
01:43:51,080 --> 01:43:53,240
Speaker 7: Atlanta kicked a field goal on the final play to

1899
01:43:53,320 --> 01:43:57,760
Speaker 7: edge Houston twenty one. Nineteen victories for New Orleans, Pittsburgh,

1900
01:43:57,800 --> 01:44:01,200
Speaker 7: and Jacksonville, which won in London again twenty over. Buffalo.

1901
01:44:01,240 --> 01:44:04,719
Speaker 7: Bills linebacker Matt Mlano suffered a broken leg and likely

1902
01:44:04,800 --> 01:44:08,559
Speaker 7: a knee injury in the Al Division series on FS one.

1903
01:44:08,680 --> 01:44:10,800
Speaker 7: Right now, they're starting the bottom of the seventh inning.

1904
01:44:10,880 --> 01:44:14,920
Speaker 7: It is the Twins leading six nothing at the Houston Astros,

1905
01:44:15,160 --> 01:44:18,760
Speaker 7: a guy they're familiar with in Houston, Carlos Correa, with

1906
01:44:18,880 --> 01:44:22,720
Speaker 7: three hits three RBIs in this game. It's looking like

1907
01:44:22,800 --> 01:44:24,840
Speaker 7: it'll be a game apiece in the best of five.

1908
01:44:25,200 --> 01:44:27,519
Speaker 7: Texas up two games to none after winning at top

1909
01:44:27,560 --> 01:44:30,720
Speaker 7: seed Baltimore again eleven to eight. The game threes of

1913
01:44:42,520 --> 01:44:45,599
Speaker 7: two in the new AP College Football Poll. Oklahoma moved

1914
01:44:45,680 --> 01:44:48,320
Speaker 7: up to number five. The Pac twelve leads the week

1915
01:44:48,400 --> 01:44:52,120

Speaker 7: is at Notre Daime and on Fox TV this Saturday

01:44:59,360 --> 01:45:02,960
Speaker 7: Night's number fifteen Oregon State host number eighteen UCLA.

1919
01:45:03,080 --> 01:45:06,240
Speaker 2: Back to you, Oh, Steve, great stuff man, great having

1920
01:45:06,280 --> 01:45:10,040
Speaker 2: you tonight as ways live tire rack dot com studios.

1921
01:45:11,120 --> 01:45:13,040
Speaker 2: The forty nine ers, by the way, have just picked

1922
01:45:13,080 --> 01:45:16,600
Speaker 2: off Dak Prescott after that third Kittle touchdown. And I

1923
01:45:16,760 --> 01:45:19,640
Speaker 2: was struck, Kyle by what Steve said in terms of

1924
01:45:19,680 --> 01:45:22,800
Speaker 2: the length of those touchdowns. So just to mention that

1925
01:45:22,880 --> 01:45:27,240
Speaker 2: again thirty eight yards, ten yards and nineteen yards to

1926
01:45:27,280 --> 01:45:30,200
Speaker 2: George Kittle. I was told dink and dunk, That's what

1927
01:45:30,280 --> 01:45:32,479
Speaker 2: I was told. I was told that this was very

1928
01:45:32,560 --> 01:45:35,960
Speaker 2: dink and dunk. I'm missing both dink and dunk tonight

1929
01:45:36,200 --> 01:45:36,639
Speaker 2: so far.

1930
01:45:37,680 --> 01:45:39,480
Speaker 1: No, I mean, certainly explosive.

1931
01:45:39,520 --> 01:45:42,880
Speaker 4: And you talk forty yards on third and fourteen, and

1932
01:45:43,280 --> 01:45:45,479
Speaker 4: you know those are just things that this Dallas cowboy

1933
01:45:45,560 --> 01:45:49,800
Speaker 4: defense hasn't given up. You know, third and fourteen. You

1934
01:45:49,840 --> 01:45:53,360
Speaker 4: typically don't have enough time to get that far downfield

1935
01:45:53,520 --> 01:45:56,840
Speaker 4: against this defense. And you know, really since early in

1936
01:45:56,880 --> 01:46:00,160
Speaker 4: the first half, they've settled in and haven't gotten to

1937
01:46:00,240 --> 01:46:03,639
Speaker 4: brock Perty a whole lot. So if this Cowboys team

1938
01:46:03,720 --> 01:46:06,080
Speaker 4: has any chance here in the second half, they're going

1939
01:46:06,160 --> 01:46:08,720
Speaker 4: to have to start getting pressure on them. And you know,

1940
01:46:08,800 --> 01:46:12,280
Speaker 4: a errant throw there on the interception looked like a

1941
01:46:12,320 --> 01:46:17,559
Speaker 4: miscommunication essentially just launched it up to really nobody. So

1942
01:46:18,000 --> 01:46:19,800
Speaker 4: defense is going to have to step up huge for

1943
01:46:19,920 --> 01:46:22,479
Speaker 4: Dallas if they want to stay in this game and

1944
01:46:22,560 --> 01:46:25,559
Speaker 4: keep it from getting even uglier in a hurry. They

1945
01:46:25,680 --> 01:46:28,519
Speaker 4: got to start getting some pressure here and we'll see,

1946
01:46:28,680 --> 01:46:31,040
Speaker 4: I'm sure we're going to see a heavy dose of

1947
01:46:31,120 --> 01:46:33,439
Speaker 4: Christian McCaffrey the rest of the way here.

1948
01:46:33,920 --> 01:46:36,240
Speaker 2: You're right, it's probably gonna be a lot less party.

1949
01:46:36,280 --> 01:46:36,519
Speaker 1: Now.

1950
01:46:36,600 --> 01:46:38,720
Speaker 2: Six minutes to go third quarter and the Niners are

1951
01:46:38,800 --> 01:46:42,040
Speaker 2: up by three scores, twenty eight to ten, and they

1952
01:46:42,120 --> 01:46:46,439
Speaker 2: have the ball and Purty's QB rating so far tonight

1953
01:46:46,600 --> 01:46:50,800
Speaker 2: one forty six point one. Remember we talked about how

1954
01:46:50,840 --> 01:46:54,320
Speaker 2: this was going to sound Monday, that both the quarterbacks

1955
01:46:54,360 --> 01:46:58,400
Speaker 2: really were facing an opportunity to quiet the things that

1956
01:46:58,479 --> 01:47:02,880
Speaker 2: people say about them. Dak Prescott so far has not

1957
01:47:03,160 --> 01:47:08,120
Speaker 2: done that, and my gosh, I mean purty even more

1958
01:47:08,200 --> 01:47:11,040
Speaker 2: so than we could have imagined. I remember, remember we

1959
01:47:11,080 --> 01:47:13,720
Speaker 2: talked about the over under in this game, and I'm like,

1960
01:47:13,880 --> 01:47:16,920
Speaker 2: something tells me there's gonna be some some action, There's

1961
01:47:16,960 --> 01:47:20,120
Speaker 2: gonna be some points in this game. And the forty

1962
01:47:20,200 --> 01:47:23,280
Speaker 2: nine ers look like they do every week. They've ended

1963
01:47:23,360 --> 01:47:25,560
Speaker 2: up with thirty points or more in every game, and

1964
01:47:26,160 --> 01:47:27,479
Speaker 2: they're on track to do it again.

1965
01:47:28,160 --> 01:47:30,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, And they just showed the graphic coming out start

1966
01:47:30,680 --> 01:47:34,639
Speaker 4: the game and started the second half just absolute perfection

1967
01:47:34,800 --> 01:47:40,080
Speaker 4: from brock perty zero incompletions, two touchdown drives, two touchdown passes,

1968
01:47:40,160 --> 01:47:44,000
Speaker 4: and they showed those two big incuts, the first one

1969
01:47:44,040 --> 01:47:46,439
Speaker 4: to Ayuk that you know, without the shoe string tackle

1970
01:47:46,479 --> 01:47:49,720
Speaker 4: he potentially runs out the back door, and then the

1971
01:47:49,800 --> 01:47:51,160
Speaker 4: next one to Debu and.

1972
01:47:51,240 --> 01:47:55,879
Speaker 1: It's like just those are elite level throws.

1973
01:47:55,920 --> 01:48:01,040
Speaker 4: Like let's quit sugarcoating this and trying to to take

1974
01:48:01,080 --> 01:48:03,800
Speaker 4: the easy way out and say it's this guy, it's

1975
01:48:03,840 --> 01:48:07,280
Speaker 4: that guy, it's this system, it's the play calls. You know,

1976
01:48:07,560 --> 01:48:14,719
Speaker 4: those two throws alone are big time NFL caliber throws.

1977
01:48:14,960 --> 01:48:17,519
Speaker 4: And you know you see it there on that last

1978
01:48:17,560 --> 01:48:22,599
Speaker 4: scoring drive to deboo into Brandon Ayuk.

1979
01:48:23,000 --> 01:48:27,200
Speaker 2: Yep, yep, absolutely all right, Mark Willard, Kyle, Rudolph Tirak

1980
01:48:27,280 --> 01:48:33,200
Speaker 2: dot com Studios. Let's talk Cincinnati Bengals. Such an interesting

1981
01:48:33,280 --> 01:48:37,400
Speaker 2: team and a lot of excitement about them coming into

1982
01:48:37,439 --> 01:48:39,519
Speaker 2: the year. They were right there one of the top

1983
01:48:39,640 --> 01:48:42,759
Speaker 2: five Super Bowl favorite teams. And we know the story

1984
01:48:42,920 --> 01:48:46,880
Speaker 2: with Joe Burrow's cap and potentially what that has meant.

1985
01:48:46,880 --> 01:48:48,960
Speaker 2: There was also you know, no t Higgins now for

1986
01:48:49,040 --> 01:48:51,639
Speaker 2: a little while, but in a game they probably had

1987
01:48:51,680 --> 01:48:53,760
Speaker 2: to have. They go out and get it today and

1988
01:48:53,800 --> 01:48:56,559
Speaker 2: they finally looked like a version of themselves. They could

1989
01:48:56,560 --> 01:48:58,720
Speaker 2: go up top a little bit. Burrow goes for over

1990
01:48:58,760 --> 01:49:03,200
Speaker 2: three hundred yards and Jamar Chase absolutely goes crazy. Now

1991
01:49:03,680 --> 01:49:05,720
Speaker 2: it sounds to me like you think that this is

1992
01:49:05,760 --> 01:49:08,880
Speaker 2: a little bit too one dimensional even on a good day.

1993
01:49:09,560 --> 01:49:13,600
Speaker 2: And I really hear you, because what's going to be

1994
01:49:13,680 --> 01:49:19,360
Speaker 2: coming up next for the Bengals is really a stretch

1995
01:49:19,439 --> 01:49:23,040
Speaker 2: that's gonna tell us whether they can actually get back

1996
01:49:23,080 --> 01:49:26,879
Speaker 2: into this thing or not. Now you know, next weekend

1997
01:49:26,920 --> 01:49:30,200
Speaker 2: they're at home Seattle come into town, they will provide

1998
01:49:30,200 --> 01:49:32,799
Speaker 2: a challenge for sure, and then they get there bye week.

1999
01:49:33,160 --> 01:49:35,519
Speaker 2: But then I think, as we talked about last week,

2000
01:49:36,960 --> 01:49:40,439
Speaker 2: boom right out the gate. They will go to San

2001
01:49:40,479 --> 01:49:45,559
Speaker 2: Francisco and then host Buffalo, And the rest of November

2002
01:49:45,640 --> 01:49:48,640
Speaker 2: is not that easy either. With Houston, Baltimore and Pittsburgh

2003
01:49:48,680 --> 01:49:51,080
Speaker 2: you get a lot of the division matchups in there.

2004
01:49:51,240 --> 01:49:54,080
Speaker 2: Then there's a Monday nighter in Jacksonville. I just the

2005
01:49:54,400 --> 01:49:59,479
Speaker 2: schedule break is not there for the Cincinnati Bengals. So

2006
01:49:59,560 --> 01:50:02,800
Speaker 2: if this a version of themselves, I don't know. Man,

2007
01:50:02,800 --> 01:50:05,599
Speaker 2: We're gonna have to see the version of themselves real,

2008
01:50:05,720 --> 01:50:08,280
Speaker 2: real fast if they're gonna find their way back into

2009
01:50:08,280 --> 01:50:08,759
Speaker 2: this race.

2010
01:50:09,320 --> 01:50:09,519
Speaker 1: Yeah.

2011
01:50:09,560 --> 01:50:11,800
Speaker 4: I mean, you gotta win games anyway you can, and

2012
01:50:11,840 --> 01:50:14,760
Speaker 4: you certainly take wins when you can get them. To me,

2013
01:50:15,000 --> 01:50:19,040
Speaker 4: it worries me a little bit. Joe Burrow, great, he

2014
01:50:19,120 --> 01:50:21,680
Speaker 4: threw for over three hundred yards. Again, I think you

2015
01:50:21,720 --> 01:50:25,840
Speaker 4: finished with three seventeen. Almost two thirds of them were

2016
01:50:25,880 --> 01:50:28,960
Speaker 4: to one guy. You know, we joked around that he

2017
01:50:29,000 --> 01:50:31,280
Speaker 4: threw for three hundred and them two hundred of them

2018
01:50:31,320 --> 01:50:36,559
Speaker 4: went to Jamar Chase. And it's it's unfortunate losing t

2019
01:50:36,720 --> 01:50:39,080
Speaker 4: Higgins last week because he's such a big part to

2020
01:50:39,280 --> 01:50:43,360
Speaker 4: playing on the opposite side as Jamar Chase and a

2021
01:50:43,400 --> 01:50:48,200
Speaker 4: guy who can can be another over the top threat,

2022
01:50:48,400 --> 01:50:50,320
Speaker 4: be a guy who could be a playmaker for you.

2023
01:50:50,400 --> 01:50:53,760
Speaker 4: And you know, today they just didn't have anybody else.

2024
01:50:53,800 --> 01:50:56,719
Speaker 4: Thankfully they're playing the Arizona Cardinals, and we're able to

2025
01:50:56,400 --> 01:50:58,920
Speaker 4: get a win there, pulling away late in the second

2026
01:50:58,960 --> 01:51:03,599
Speaker 4: half with a pick six by the defense, you know,

2027
01:51:03,680 --> 01:51:06,479
Speaker 4: setting them up with a couple turnovers on some short fields.

2028
01:51:06,920 --> 01:51:10,400
Speaker 4: But you know, you have not just quality opponents coming

2029
01:51:10,479 --> 01:51:16,439
Speaker 4: up in Seattle, San Francisco, Buffalo, really quality opponents. But

2030
01:51:16,800 --> 01:51:19,000
Speaker 4: one of the things people don't realize, like you look

2031
01:51:19,040 --> 01:51:22,320
Speaker 4: at the schedule. You know, Cincinnati goes to Arizona, they

2032
01:51:22,320 --> 01:51:25,680
Speaker 4: play in Arizona, so East coast, West Coast, then they

2033
01:51:25,720 --> 01:51:28,120
Speaker 4: go back, they play Seattle at home, then they go

2034
01:51:28,520 --> 01:51:31,439
Speaker 4: back to the West coast. So twice in three weeks.

2035
01:51:31,479 --> 01:51:34,400
Speaker 4: You're taking cross country trips and you know, it doesn't

2036
01:51:34,439 --> 01:51:37,960
Speaker 4: seem like a whole lot, but it's not easy. You

2037
01:51:38,000 --> 01:51:39,800
Speaker 4: certainly would have rather just had, you know, to the

2038
01:51:39,840 --> 01:51:42,559
Speaker 4: whole London point. You would rather just had back to

2039
01:51:42,600 --> 01:51:45,240
Speaker 4: back games on the West Coast. So you know, I'll

2040
01:51:45,240 --> 01:51:48,519
Speaker 4: be interesting to see going out to Arizona coming home.

2041
01:51:48,720 --> 01:51:51,679
Speaker 4: You know, how do they bounce back against a good

2042
01:51:51,720 --> 01:51:55,880
Speaker 4: Seahawk team that's playing good football, and then how do

2043
01:51:55,920 --> 01:51:58,360
Speaker 4: you go back to the West Coast again for a

2044
01:51:58,439 --> 01:52:01,439
Speaker 4: four to twenty five local KI in San Francisco against

2045
01:52:01,760 --> 01:52:04,200
Speaker 4: a really good forty nine Ers team.

2046
01:52:04,280 --> 01:52:07,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a lot on the table. But today was

2047
01:52:07,120 --> 01:52:10,040
Speaker 2: much needed for them, for sure. There's another team that

2048
01:52:10,160 --> 01:52:12,599
Speaker 2: had a big win today, but they've got an even

2049
01:52:12,640 --> 01:52:15,160
Speaker 2: bigger problem. We'll tell you about that coming up next.

2050
01:52:15,240 --> 01:52:17,320
Speaker 2: Let's get you the play of the day. We're hanging

2051
01:52:17,360 --> 01:52:21,679
Speaker 2: out on Sunday Night, Week five. It's a Fox Football Sunday.

2052
01:52:21,720 --> 01:52:27,160
Speaker 2: That's Kyle Rudolph. I'm Mark Willard, Fox Sports Radio. Third

2053
01:52:27,240 --> 01:52:30,519
Speaker 2: down in one. They gonna give it no, it's a

2054
01:52:30,560 --> 01:52:33,280
Speaker 2: play action. Perty gonna roll left throw for the end zone.

2055
01:52:33,520 --> 01:52:35,479
Speaker 1: God Buck George Kettle.

2056
01:52:35,920 --> 01:52:39,160
Speaker 7: He has the hat trick tonight, the career high three

2057
01:52:39,240 --> 01:52:41,000
Speaker 7: touchdown catches for George.

2058
01:52:41,320 --> 01:52:46,120
Speaker 1: Touchdown, said Francisco.

2059
01:52:46,520 --> 01:52:49,200
Speaker 3: Now that is from the forty nine Ers radio network.

2060
01:52:49,280 --> 01:52:52,920
Speaker 2: But moments ago, Brock Perty just dumped his fourth touchdown

2061
01:52:53,000 --> 01:52:53,680
Speaker 2: pass of.

2062
01:52:53,720 --> 01:52:55,320
Speaker 3: The game into the end zone.

2063
01:52:55,560 --> 01:53:00,320
Speaker 2: This one goes to Juice, Kyle Uscheck and Kyle. It

2064
01:53:00,520 --> 01:53:05,880
Speaker 2: is officially a runaway thirty five to ten. The forty

2065
01:53:05,960 --> 01:53:08,640
Speaker 2: nine ers now lead this one. That was the Progressive

2066
01:53:08,640 --> 01:53:11,040

2071
01:53:28,320 --> 01:53:30,920
Speaker 2: see this coming. I saw a forty nine or win.

2072
01:53:31,360 --> 01:53:32,120
Speaker 2: I didn't see this.

2073
01:53:33,479 --> 01:53:36,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, we talked about Vegas knowing something, and there they

2074
01:53:36,160 --> 01:53:39,200
Speaker 1: are at forty five forty forty.

2075
01:53:38,960 --> 01:53:41,880
Speaker 4: Five points, fourteen minutes left in the fourth quarter, and

2076
01:53:42,960 --> 01:53:46,840
Speaker 4: you know, Rock Purty doing what we said at the

2077
01:53:46,840 --> 01:53:49,920
Speaker 4: top of the show he needed to do. We talked

2078
01:53:49,920 --> 01:53:52,920
Speaker 4: about somebody coming out and just lighting up, putting crazy

2079
01:53:53,000 --> 01:53:55,360
Speaker 4: numbers out there, and you know, he just hit Kyle

2080
01:53:55,520 --> 01:53:58,360
Speaker 4: use Check for his fourth touchdown of the game. And

2081
01:53:58,439 --> 01:54:03,760
Speaker 4: he's seventeen of twenty four touchdowns no picks, you know,

2082
01:54:03,800 --> 01:54:05,200
Speaker 4: almost perfect ratings.

2083
01:54:05,200 --> 01:54:07,160
Speaker 1: So you got to give them credit.

2084
01:54:07,200 --> 01:54:09,519
Speaker 4: And you know, I did say this at the beginning

2085
01:54:09,520 --> 01:54:11,760
Speaker 4: of the show as well that if you're Dak Prescott,

2086
01:54:11,800 --> 01:54:14,519
Speaker 4: if you're gonna not play as well, or you have

2087
01:54:14,640 --> 01:54:17,559
Speaker 4: the team not play as well not win one, you'd

2088
01:54:17,560 --> 01:54:20,000
Speaker 4: probably rather have it in week five. And you know,

2089
01:54:20,080 --> 01:54:22,400
Speaker 4: this will be a great opportunity for that defense in

2090
01:54:22,600 --> 01:54:25,639
Speaker 4: Dallas that has been flying pretty high, playing pretty well,

2091
01:54:25,680 --> 01:54:29,040
Speaker 4: taking the ball away, scoring points. It's you know, you

2092
01:54:29,080 --> 01:54:31,760
Speaker 4: get humbled in this league very quickly, and you know

2093
01:54:31,760 --> 01:54:34,480
Speaker 4: there are times where you get humbled and it refocused

2094
01:54:34,480 --> 01:54:37,600
Speaker 4: you and gets you back to maybe the approach you

2095
01:54:37,680 --> 01:54:41,160
Speaker 4: had prior to some early success. So you know, I

2096
01:54:41,160 --> 01:54:43,320
Speaker 4: don't think this is a sky is falling for the

2097
01:54:43,400 --> 01:54:47,840
Speaker 4: Dallas Cowboys. Just we had talked about that big drive

2098
01:54:47,880 --> 01:54:50,120
Speaker 4: in the second quarter to keep it from getting ugly

2099
01:54:50,560 --> 01:54:52,920
Speaker 4: at that point. They got the touchdown that they needed,

2100
01:54:53,160 --> 01:54:56,200
Speaker 4: but it is officially gotten ugly at thirty five to ten.

2101
01:54:56,680 --> 01:54:59,520
Speaker 2: No doubt about it. My man. There's one more team

2102
01:54:59,560 --> 01:55:04,040
Speaker 2: I really wanted to talk about, and the weekend was

2103
01:55:04,960 --> 01:55:10,240
Speaker 2: almost perfect to them. Almost they won their game. They

2104
01:55:11,040 --> 01:55:15,640
Speaker 2: maybe shifted what was an offseason national narrative a little

2105
01:55:15,640 --> 01:55:20,520
Speaker 2: bit about running backs not being paid, and they figured

2106
01:55:20,560 --> 01:55:24,280
Speaker 2: it out with their young star, so that Jonathan Taylor

2107
01:55:24,480 --> 01:55:27,480
Speaker 2: is going to remain in their uniform for a while.

2108
01:55:28,160 --> 01:55:33,720
Speaker 2: The only problem is they've got a really interesting, young,

2109
01:55:34,240 --> 01:55:38,560
Speaker 2: talented quarterback who in five weeks has left the field

2110
01:55:38,560 --> 01:55:43,440
Speaker 2: three times, and so Anthony Richardson again goes out this one.

2111
01:55:43,680 --> 01:55:46,880
Speaker 2: I don't have any current info, but it looked more

2112
01:55:46,960 --> 01:55:50,840
Speaker 2: serious than previous injuries that he's dealt with this year.

2113
01:55:51,280 --> 01:55:54,160
Speaker 2: He was nine of twelve for ninety eight yards today

2114
01:55:54,200 --> 01:55:58,120
Speaker 2: before he left. He is clearly someone when I watch

2115
01:55:58,240 --> 01:56:01,200
Speaker 2: him play early he has every bit of the same

2116
01:56:01,280 --> 01:56:05,400
Speaker 2: look that CJ. Stroud does, someone whose brain is not

2117
01:56:06,400 --> 01:56:10,160
Speaker 2: like overwhelming itself, moving too fast. Even as he plays

2118
01:56:10,160 --> 01:56:13,000
Speaker 2: in his first games, it's just like, man, this guy.

2119
01:56:14,080 --> 01:56:16,280
Speaker 2: You know, when he gets better, it's gonna look really

2120
01:56:16,320 --> 01:56:18,920
Speaker 2: really good. But Kyle, what does he do? What do

2121
01:56:19,000 --> 01:56:23,879
Speaker 2: they do? How does Richardson stay on the field.

2122
01:56:24,840 --> 01:56:26,920
Speaker 4: Well, I think it's it's up to Shane stike In

2123
01:56:27,000 --> 01:56:30,839
Speaker 4: and the way that they design the offense, and certainly

2124
01:56:30,840 --> 01:56:34,640
Speaker 4: getting Jonathan Taylor back you're never gonna be able to

2125
01:56:34,680 --> 01:56:37,680
Speaker 4: take away. We talk about quarterbacks all the time. This

2126
01:56:37,840 --> 01:56:42,520
Speaker 4: comes up with Josh Allen and the mentality of when

2127
01:56:42,520 --> 01:56:45,960
Speaker 4: they run the football you know, you don't want him

2128
01:56:45,960 --> 01:56:49,360
Speaker 4: taking the hits, but you know they're big athletic quarterbacks

2129
01:56:49,360 --> 01:56:53,760
Speaker 4: and they're very dynamic in the run game. I think

2130
01:56:53,840 --> 01:56:57,240
Speaker 4: it's it's on Shane Steiken to start to design ways

2131
01:56:57,360 --> 01:57:00,720
Speaker 4: where you know, they get Jonathan and Taylor back in

2132
01:57:00,760 --> 01:57:04,400
Speaker 4: the offense. They got in the ball six times today,

2133
01:57:04,640 --> 01:57:07,360
Speaker 4: seven touches in total with with one target and one

2134
01:57:07,440 --> 01:57:10,480
Speaker 4: catch on top of six carries. But you have this

2135
01:57:10,760 --> 01:57:14,480
Speaker 4: other good, young, incredible back in Zach Moss who carried

2136
01:57:14,520 --> 01:57:16,640
Speaker 4: it twenty two times for one hundred and sixty five

2137
01:57:16,680 --> 01:57:18,680
Speaker 4: and two touchdowns. And he's like, wait a minute, who

2138
01:57:18,760 --> 01:57:21,880
Speaker 4: who got paid forty three million dollars. Maybe you should

2139
01:57:21,920 --> 01:57:25,080
Speaker 4: get me some of that. But I think between those

2140
01:57:25,160 --> 01:57:30,800
Speaker 4: two guys finding ways to get them more touches, Anthony

2141
01:57:30,880 --> 01:57:35,200
Speaker 4: Richardson's always going to have that athletic ability. When you

2142
01:57:35,240 --> 01:57:38,320
Speaker 4: know it's it's third and five, third and seven and

2143
01:57:38,400 --> 01:57:40,200
Speaker 4: he's back there and the clock's going off his head,

2144
01:57:40,240 --> 01:57:42,839
Speaker 4: he pulls it down and run. But maybe that can

2145
01:57:42,880 --> 01:57:45,480
Speaker 4: eliminate now that you have two backs that you can

2146
01:57:45,520 --> 01:57:48,520
Speaker 4: find creative ways to get the ball to eliminate some

2147
01:57:48,560 --> 01:57:51,760
Speaker 4: of the design quarterback runs that we've seen from a

2148
01:57:51,840 --> 01:57:55,160
Speaker 4: Jalen Hurts in Philly over the years, just to try to,

2149
01:57:55,240 --> 01:57:56,960
Speaker 4: you know, let this kid start to figure out. It

2150
01:57:56,960 --> 01:57:59,960
Speaker 4: seems like you said, it's been five games, he's left

2151
01:58:00,240 --> 01:58:03,360
Speaker 4: three of them without finishing. So let this guy start

2152
01:58:03,360 --> 01:58:05,240
Speaker 4: to figure out how to stay healthy in the NFL

2153
01:58:05,280 --> 01:58:09,200
Speaker 4: before we, you know, essentially derail his career to injuries

2154
01:58:09,240 --> 01:58:10,200
Speaker 4: before it even starts.

2155
01:58:11,400 --> 01:58:16,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, fair to say for sure. Meantime, Fred Warner interception

2156
01:58:16,640 --> 01:58:19,800
Speaker 2: of Dak Prescott Jordan Mason on the very next play

2157
01:58:20,400 --> 01:58:22,520
Speaker 2: goes around the left end. He's into the end zone.

2158
01:58:22,520 --> 01:58:26,240
Speaker 2: It's now forty one to ten with the extra point

2159
01:58:26,280 --> 01:58:27,720
Speaker 2: pending for the forty nine ers.

2160
01:58:28,000 --> 01:58:29,480
Speaker 3: And maybe we can talk more.

2161
01:58:29,400 --> 01:58:31,880
Speaker 2: About this next week, Kyle, because I know we don't

2162
01:58:31,920 --> 01:58:33,680
Speaker 2: have a lot of time left. But I'm not sure

2163
01:58:33,720 --> 01:58:36,480
Speaker 2: I agree with your statement about the sky is not

2164
01:58:36,640 --> 01:58:39,680
Speaker 2: falling for Dak Prescott. I know it's only week five,

2165
01:58:39,800 --> 01:58:43,320
Speaker 2: but this issue goes a lot longer than just this year.

2166
01:58:44,680 --> 01:58:48,000
Speaker 4: It does, but it's again, it's it's week five, and

2167
01:58:47,600 --> 01:58:50,879
Speaker 4: that's that's the general narrative when something like this happens,

2168
01:58:50,920 --> 01:58:53,720
Speaker 4: is that the sky's falling, And certainly this is something

2169
01:58:53,720 --> 01:58:56,880
Speaker 4: that he'd much rather have the first week of October

2170
01:58:56,920 --> 01:59:00,720
Speaker 4: than the first week of January. And Dak's really well

2171
01:59:00,800 --> 01:59:04,640
Speaker 4: up to this point. And I talked about Fred Warner

2172
01:59:04,680 --> 01:59:06,760
Speaker 4: prior how good he is. He's one of the best

2173
01:59:06,800 --> 01:59:08,600
Speaker 4: at his position, not just in the run game, but

2174
01:59:08,680 --> 01:59:12,000
Speaker 4: in the past game as well. So certainly Cowboys got

2175
01:59:12,040 --> 01:59:14,040
Speaker 4: to go back to the drawing board and get better

2176
01:59:14,040 --> 01:59:16,480
Speaker 4: because they're not on the forty nine ers level right now.

2177
01:59:17,040 --> 01:59:20,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, great stuff. Hey Kyle, we'll do it again next week,

2178
01:59:20,040 --> 01:59:20,520
Speaker 2: my friend.

2179
01:59:20,880 --> 01:59:22,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, sounds good. Looking forward to it.

2180
01:59:22,880 --> 01:59:25,640
Speaker 3: Yep. Okay for Kyle Rudolph. I'm Mark Willard.

2181
01:59:25,720 --> 01:59:28,640
Speaker 2: Stay right here as Sunday continues on Fox Sports Radio.
