28
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: was with us, I believe West was with us. We

29
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: after the show ended, went over to Roccos in Culver City,

30
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: which is in a different part of the city from

31
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: where we are now, and we had drinks and we

32
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: had food and we had good times. We had some laughs,

33
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: and then Tom Hanks got sick and it all changed, um,

34
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: and that was it. We were never together again in

35
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: the studio. And I will say this first of all,

36
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: a couple of things. Thank you to everybody behind the glass.

37
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: Erica is back there, of course, but we have an

38
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: entire team of people that have worked tirelessly to get

39
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: this place up and running because it is our gargantuan effort.

40
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: We are in the big building right next to Sophi

42
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: network side, the newsroom. Um, and it's been a ton

43
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: of work to get us in these chairs and talking

44
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,480

45
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: the podcast. Uh so thank you everyone else. My other

46
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: my other thought, Greg is that's a big time like

47
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: on air move like, hey, hey, what we do up here? Uh,

48
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: that's easy. The real hero Like it's like, you know,

49
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: Tony Romo and Jim Nance making twenty million, the real heroes,

50
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: the guys with the tough job are making like seventy

51
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: because it's a union. This job is tough enough for

52
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: my Like, you know, I don't I don't need it

53
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: to become more difficult. Thank you. There's a lot of

54
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: people back there too. It's a it's a little uh intimidating.

55
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: But my other point is, yes, this Hey, we're just

56
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: the kids on the playground over here. My other point

57
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: is that yes, from now and until the end of

58
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: the show. Uh, the fact that I'll introduce you boys,

Speaker 1: have west with us, even if it isn't physically. Yeah,

68
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: it feels right that Keisha came down. She's working right

69
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: down the hall. This is It is gonna take some

70
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: getting used to being back in the office. We saw

71
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: a lot of familiar faces in the hour before the show,

72
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: but Lakisha came over from her editing bay. We took

73
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: some pictures that had some hugs it all. It feels right.

74
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: I visited my cubicle, right, you know, I had. I

75
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: had varying feelings about UM even being attached to a

76
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: cubicle on any level, but I would say about this

77
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: whole building, and I was telling one of our Christie,

78
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 1: one of our producers, tipes out there that um, this

79
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: is sort of like a gigantic evil spaceship that has

80
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 1: been inhabited by nice people. It's been turned into sort

81
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: of a nice spaceship. It's the building itself looks like

82
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: it's from about eight years from now. But if it's

83
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: but if it's by its nature and evil spaceship, can

84
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: you truly trust the people? Well, we took I've watched

85
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: enough Twilight Zone episode. We took over the technology and

86
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: we rid it of the it's most most of the

87
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: people here seems friendly. I did think about you this morning, Mark,

88
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 1: because I know this is not an easy thing for

89
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: you to be back here, and it made me think

90
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: of I was just thinking of you going through the

91
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: motions this morning, of you know, you woke up and

92
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 1: it's like, I gotta get in the shower, Uh, I

93
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: gotta make my smoothie. And then I was thinking, um,

94
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: I was setting this in my mind to you know,

95
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: an uncut gems the Sandler movie, the score to that

96
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: movie where it's just like this kind of like weird,

97
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 1: almost like a menacing tone underneath everything. It's like Mark's

98
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: making smoothie, Simone's talking to them, but it's just like

99
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: and Mark said, it's like and then he gets dressed

100
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: and he's like, which suit jacket? I guess the blue one.

101
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 1: It's just like three of the same thing. Then you

102
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: get in the car and you punch into your ways

103
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 1: it's not wrong, and you're just like stone faced. Is

104
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: this happening? Is this is this happen? Pulled into the lot,

105
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 1: go through the gate, up the parking garage. This is happening.

106
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: This is really happening. This check out it does I

107
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: will I'll quickly out a couple of should I throw

108
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: in a couple more tweets about how I don't want

109
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: to go back to work. No, no, I'll try set

110
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: six to adjust my attitude on the whole thing. Um, I,

111
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,799
Speaker 1: you know, for the first time in a billion years,

112
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: drove to work obviously and got on you know, I

113
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 1: know the four oh five essentially how it works. It

114
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 1: goes north, it goes south. I got on the wrong,

115
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 1: um part of the quarrel five, added like eighteen minutes

116
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: to the trip, nearly crashed into like what I guess

117
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: it's called like a tractor trailer of some sorts. Then

118
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: when I pulled it into this building, I went into

119
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: the completely wrong place, and um, a very stern woman

120
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: told me I needed to go somewh else. Then I

121
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: parked and Erica had to come meet me in the garage.

122
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: I was like a small child or a boy. She

123
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: took me through all the steps to get into the building.

124
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: Think you think Mark's gonna be okay here? Yeah, I

125
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: mean the morning started off around eight am with texts

126
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: with crying emojis, and Mark put his hand down because

127
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: he knows week two. Yeah, And I met him in

128
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: the garage and we walked through and I walked him

129
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: directly to his desk, which is the first desk you

130
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: see from the glass. Well, they punked me on that

131
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: that was a it's a fish. What I did with

132
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: Harrison on his first day of preschool to differently didn't

133
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: happen with Dan and I, like we figured out how to.

134
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: I took him and I tried to get him to

135
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: eat breakfast. He was too nervous, he wouldn't eat breakfast.

136
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: Then I dropped him off, I got him his badge,

137
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: got his badge, dropped him off at his desk. Um.

138
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: And then also, you know, you guys are sitting in

139
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: different orders this time, which is very different. And so

140
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: you know, Greg and Dan were outside and Mark had

141
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: Mark came to me in in this you know, in

142
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: the producers side of the of the studio and goes, well,

143
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: we're not sitting in the same line, And I guess

144
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: that is really stressful. So I feel like you guys

145
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: should addressed. We take we have I I quickly backed

146
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: down after Mark made it clear he wanted to be

147
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: on the edge, as like, oh, well, I always I

148
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: have sat on the edge for we can we can

149
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: change it, yeah, a little more. And I like that

150
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: field though that that was its like the Social Network

151
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 1: soundtrack if you know that one, the Phantom Thread one,

152
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: just a dark sense of anxiety and four body, which

153
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: is what it's like to live as Mark Sessler in

154
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 1: the year and we have this awesome studio. We'll take

155
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: it easy on you, Mark, um a lot more space.

156
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 1: And our old studio UM in Culver City, they actually

157
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: did like it was a closet. It was a broom closet,

158
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 1: let's face it. And it was tucked way way up

159
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: and out of the way. It was right next to

160
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: like where the janitor keeps his mops and everything, and

161
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: we we lived in our own world. Now it's a

162
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: fish bowl. So now you have like hide like video

163
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: and we have the whole crew and on the glass

164
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: in front of us. I don't feel that way, but

165
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: speaking in Lakisha, and we're gonna get into the week

166
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: to preview in a second way if you've never listened

167
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: to the podcast before. Yeah, we we cover football. We're

168
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: very full of ourselves, talked about ourselves to start each show.

169
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: But it is a big change in the other they'll

170
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: forgive us today. But I you know, I told Lakisha

171
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: I was texting with I have a great idea, and

172
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: she was like what she sent him all years? And

173
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: I said, well, you know, we talked about the Chris

174
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: Westling dossier um being found before it's thrown out in

175
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: the old office and uh, and we found it and

176
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 1: it was an amazing story and we don't need to

177
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: go down that road again. But I said, what if

178
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: in this new studio, I had this idea, you know how,

179
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 1: like the Declaration of Independence? Um, I guess it's in

180
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: Philadelphia in case if it's sitting on like a black

181
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: platform and then like a bulletproof glass around it with

182
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: some tasteful lighting down on it. Like what if it

183
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: was in the corner of the studio and like no

184
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 1: no labeling, no other explanation. And let me tell you something.

185
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 1: Lukisha hated that idea. And they're not all winners, but

186
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: I want to tell you that I thought that would

187
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: be cool. Like if it looked like something that Nick

188
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: Cage would try to steal in a movie. That's a

189
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: little sign on it. That's what was wrong with Well,

190
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: she had a she had good reason. She wanted to

191
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: hold on to it. She wanted link to see it

192
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: one day, and she didn't trust that if it was

193
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: left unattended all the time. But I just wanted you guys,

194
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: most of these articles are absolutely destroying one of our

195
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 1: thirty two bosses. Technically, Um, that's worth but it's gonna.

196
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: It's gonna. You returned to Lukisha after the show. But

197
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: I liked the I mean, we're looking at it right now.

198
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: Just let you know, Dan, you pulled it out of

199
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: a Deffel bag. It's it's beautiful to witness. I want

200
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: to just take one rant, be careful to like, if

201
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: we national treasured this thing, that would have been a

202
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: cool thing. I I think number one, it's it's okay

203
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 1: that you had a good idea. Um, she you know,

204
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: she has the final say on that, So that's how

205
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: that works. I told her, I'm an ideas man. Not

206
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: all of them sums are swings and missus all right now,

207
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: if you're curious. Mike Brown wasn't totally sure if all

208
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: the TV money that they were generating was a good idea.

209
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: Think alright, So this is Week two in the NFL.

210
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: Coming up later tonight, Mark, I got more band news

211
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: for you. You and I will be recapping against the

212
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: Washington Football Team Premier matchup, NFC East Classic match up there. Um,

213
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: so you have a mini pod coming up this pot

214
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 1: of course, will be our draft of the week, two

215
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: UH teams games and also of course um a full

216
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 1: breakdown of all the games. So as we do every

217
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: preview show, we do a draft style. Ricky, did you

218
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: have any pop culture questions to get us going today?

219
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: I did not. I thought we were going to rotate

220
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: because who got the last You got the first pick

221
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: last week, so I will be the last pick. Second question.

222
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: That means Greg's second, The New Old blue Eyes is third.

223
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: Fourth back to Greg, Mark snakes to Mark great podcast, Greg,

224
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: New Old Blue Eyes, tug Boat Okay one too, Okay,

225
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: three games each? You can head it all that out

226
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: Here we go. It's taken behind the process, big week

227
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 1: of action. Mark with the first overall pick in the

228
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: week to draft, what game are you giving us? I?

229
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: Am going to go I think you think I'm gonna

230
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: go Brown's Houston and lock up a game that most

231
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,959
Speaker 1: people would not even pick um out of the gate. No,

232
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm gonna go New Orleans at Carolina. Greg.

233
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: I'm sorry if that UM isn't affront to you because

234
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: New Orleans is sort of your pet team. UM. But

235
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: after what happened last week with both of these clubs

236
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: inside this division, I find this to be a very

237
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: spicy showdown. You know that I'm a Matt rule it um.

238
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: I'm big on Sean Payton, and I want to see

239
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: if the if the Saints number one, because I think

240
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: that one of the biggest questions coming out of last

241
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,839
Speaker 1: week's action was the Green Bay New Orleans contest. Are

242
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,599
Speaker 1: either one of those teams actually those teams or was

243
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 1: that something that just happened in a bubble and we're

244
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: going to find out who they really are The Saints

245
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: last week, We're up twenty four to three before Jamis

246
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: Winson had even thrown for a hundred yards. They ran

247
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: the ball thirty nine times. They you know they had

248
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: they had to fifteen yard drives in the second quarter.

249
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 1: They were four for four in the red zone. They

250
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: didn't turn the ball over. If I told you all

251
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: that and switched the name from Winston to Rogers, you

252
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 1: would have no problem thinking that was Aaron Rodgers versus

253
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: the Saints, a team that we're being counted out. They're

254
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 1: banged up, they're injured, They've got some injuries on defense.

255
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: Eric McCoy is out of the mix. But I just

256
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: trust Sean Payton to essentially coach this team up in

257
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: a way that no other coach. Ken. You gotta lock

258
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: it up again, Matt rule light team. I'm not going

259
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: down that road. But I also look at Carolina and think,

260
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: what who are they? Because what they did to the

261
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: Jets with their and the Jets their offensive line. We'll

262
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: talk about that later, but Carolina ten QB hits, eight

263
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: pass deflections, a forced fumble on Zack Wilson, a pick

264
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: Shaq Thompson was all over the place. There's a lot

265
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: of young talent on Carolina's defense. I love the way

266
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: their offense is run by Brady and I just want

267
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: to see this showdown. This, to me, is one of

268
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: the more interesting clashes that are out there in Week two.

269
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: I'm with you this Carolina defense. I think they're gonna

270
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: be legit if you if you looked at their team,

271
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: you would think that a defensive code you know, was

272
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: their coach, because they've drafted so much on defense. They're

273
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: so young, And you're right, Shack Thompson wearing that number seven.

274
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: He switched to the number seven like an hour before

275
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: the game, just to mess with the opponent. I don't like.

276
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: I don't like. I don't like that. Well, you can't

277
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: keep changing. It only works week, I guess, but he did.

278
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: He looked five years younger. But it's all these young

279
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: guys up front. I like Gross Matos, I like Derek Brown.

280
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: We we've talked about Derek uh Brian Burns, and I'm

281
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: with you. It's gonna be a much tougher test. I

282
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: think for New Orleans that was just like a perfect game.

283
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: That was everything coming together on a day where I

284
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: think they felt like it was a playoff game. But

285
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: you're right, Winston didn't even have over a hundred yards

286
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: until he hit that lot last throw against Deante Harris.

287
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: So I also like it because it's the best running

288
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: back matchup possible. It's the two best running backs in

289
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: the league, and Alvin Kamara last week. He's just on

290
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: another planet. I know Christian McCaffrey is technically probably as

291
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: good that it's you know, you could pick one or

292
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: the other. But there is something about the smoothness in

293
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: the way that Camara runs and how good he is

294
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: on the goal line that to me, he is on

295
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: another planet. He is different than any running back I've

296
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: ever seen. Well, I disagree because to say he's on

297
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: another planet, are you saying from a talent skill like

298
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: playing style because he is not enough. There is something

299
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: indefinable about the way he moves and plays football that

300
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: is unlike. I am not arguing that. I am not

301
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: arguing that. But what I will push back on is

302
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey. And we hadn't really seen him much. We

303
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: saw him three games last year and by the way,

304
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: in an injury Rex season last year, he played three

305
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: times and was awesome in those three games, which should

306
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: have been a heads up, Hey, this guy gets healthy,

307
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: he's gonna get right back at it. He's like the King.

308
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: He might not be as smooth and as impressive a

309
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: specimen in terms of his ability to kind of I

310
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: love how Camara he just has that ability to you know,

311
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: plant his foot and then dart to the end zone

312
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: from four yards out. He does things different and he's

313
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: like a beautiful running back. I think the thing with

314
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: CMC is like when he gets the ball, he will

315
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: always turn it into a positive play. And I know

316
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: if you give him even a little bit of space,

317
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: it's always like most running backs will get seven, he'll

318
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: get twelve. Like he's that guy. And even in a

319
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: game where he was like not a breakout superstar performance

320
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 1: against the Jets, he still had almost two under total yards.

321
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 1: So it's like a pedestrian outing for him. I think

322
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: he is going to put up numbers that dwarf any

323
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: other running back in the league this year. Um if

324
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 1: he stays healthy. And I guess that's there's a challenge

325
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 1: from that rule not to over work uh McCaffrey, but

326
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: it's tough because he's so much better than everyone else

327
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 1: on the team. The one other thought I would say

328
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 1: with this game is it's very interesting because it was

329
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: a snowball game for the Saints. It was a Murphy's

330
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: Law bury the ball game for the Packers, so you

331
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 1: almost lose, like, how what do you take out of

332
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 1: this game? Uh? And I thought with the Panthers. I

333
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 1: I didn't know what to take out of their defensive

334
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,160
Speaker 1: performance because the Jets seems so unprepared and over match

335
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: an offensive line. So I want to see both these

336
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 1: teams a week removed from those settings. That the Panthers

337
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: offense scored three points in the second half last week,

338
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: But I think the Panther's offense especially you know, one

339
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: reason that CMC is gonna get I think he used

340
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: a ton is because you're not gonna take Sam Donald

341
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 1: and throw the ball forty five times with him until

342
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: they kind of know what The people are so like

343
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: looking to praise Sam Donald and be like thee I

344
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 1: told you he's fine. That it's like they're overreacting to

345
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 1: last week's game, which he was Okay, he was fine.

346
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,640
Speaker 1: He got rid of the ball quickly and actually used

347
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:33,199
Speaker 1: the fact that he has a cannon for an arm,

348
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: which is nice. You know, Adam Gates didn't really do that.

349
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 1: But when he has to get to a second read

350
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: or make like any sort of creative play, we'll see.

351
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: They're so well coached. I am with you on that

352
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: mark that they are a very well coached team. They're

353
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: two coaches also who were nice to you at the

354
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: UH at the owner's meeting, which is basically the maid.

355
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: Matt Rule came up to me out of thin air

356
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: and said, Hi, I'm coach Rule. Good to meet you.

357
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: I said, hi, Mark Cessler, and all he needed to know.

358
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 1: You know, we had match and I been on the

359
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: show this week that if you give me any sort

360
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 1: of compliment, I'm with you until the end. You cannot

361
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 1: melt it away. I have no integrity on the reporting side.

362
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 1: Bradley Roby will play for the Saints here, but they

363
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: are short in the secondary this week. Paulson Adibo their

364
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: their rookie. There's no will be playing, but there's no Lattimore,

365
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 1: there's no Davenport upfront. They have really been hit with

366
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: injuries pretty hard. All right. The number two pick goes

367
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 1: to Greg. I mean, I'm so glad you didn't take this.

368
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: The only real game on the slate that I wanted

369
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: more than any other was Tony Romo, Jim Nance, Justin Herbert,

370
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: dak Prescott Eastern. Are you kidding me? The rest of

371
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 1: those afternoon games not even in the same ballpark, two

372
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 1: of my favorite quarterbacks to watch, and Justin Herbert, I

373
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: I apologize to Justin Herbert because he was my guy

374
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: last year. He's one of the best rookie quarterbacks of

375
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: all time. I like just love watching and I spent

376
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 1: the whole off stud like, oh, is Joe Lombardi gonna

377
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 1: ruin him? Julie. It's like no, no, like a quarterback

378
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,439
Speaker 1: like Aaron Rodgers or Justin Herbert or Patrick Mahomes. And

379
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: I think this is the level that this kid can

380
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: get to. He is gonna overcome whatever the system is.

381
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,439
Speaker 1: I'm not slamming Joe Lombardi, but he's gonna make it

382
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: look good. And and it was a totally different offense

383
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 1: last week by the Chargers. He wasn't touched. He got

384
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: rid of the ball quickly. His arm strength matters because

385
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: you just he he throws it into zones before the

386
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 1: cornerbacks can get there. I loved it because he didn't

387
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 1: have to do some any crazy place, but you know

388
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 1: he can because we've seen it. So it's almost like

389
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 1: more dangerous. It's like a crazy guy act insane, Like

390
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: you know, he can go crazy if he needs to,

391
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: but he doesn't even need to right now. You know,

392
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: it's funny because you you gave that man plenty of

393
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 1: love last year, and West also loved him. So you

394
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 1: guys like kind of took up all the oxygen in

395
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 1: the room for Justin Herbert love, which was fine, Um,

396
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 1: but I can as a result, I kind of stepped back.

397
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: It's like, Okay, they're gonna be on this Justin Herbert beat.

398
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna focus on other places this season. When I

399
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: went into that game, Um, First of all, even though

400
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: he had the fumble throw thing that went through the

401
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 1: end zone and then he threw a pick, so he

402
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 1: wasn't perfect. But Justin Herbert is a savage from the pocket.

403
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: That is, and you'll hear me say that many times

404
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 1: this season. Justin Herbert is a savage in the pocket.

405
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: What he did, that's gonna be a catchphrase. Er, that's

406
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,199
Speaker 1: a catchphrase. Put that on a T shirt or on

407
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 1: a poster, because he is a savage in the pocket.

408
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: First down completions in the fourth quarter on third down

409
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: all four seventeen, Laser nineteen, Laser twenty, Laser nine Laser

410
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 1: game over. Washington Football team not a push over defense

411
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: by any stretch. They could not stop the savage. And

412
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: on top of it, I mean they had the most

413
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 1: drops in the league last week. It took a while

414
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 1: for his whiteouts too kind of warm up, I think

415
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 1: with him. And so let's say that doesn't so that

416
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: was an aberration. You remove that they're even more dangerous,

417
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: and you know this whole thing that you know, just

418
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:10,679
Speaker 1: a couple of people like Justin Herbert, I mean he

419
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to claim him oxygen. There was a

420
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: lack of oxygen within how the show works. Within the

421
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: first two or three weeks, they were just I we

422
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 1: were we were saying this, you don't need to wait

423
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: to see the greatness. I'm just saying you saw it

424
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: right away. And I think the Tyrod Taylor is a

425
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: by all accounts, a wonderful person. But what would our

426
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: lives be had that medical technician not um in, you know,

427
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: in process the faulty medical shot. I think I don't know.

428
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: I think it made the same except become he takes

429
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: over in week four instead of weeks just that it's

430
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 1: incredible that after what we thought of Justin Herbert, you know,

431
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 1: coming out of Hard Knocks, which was which was in

432
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: a ridiculous way to judge someone, but he seemed a

433
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 1: little punchless and milk toast on Hard knocks and a

434
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: little lost and then instead. The one thing about him

435
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: is he is physically tough. When he gets knocked and

436
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 1: hit hard, I mean, he just gets right back up

437
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 1: and like he also seems like a very wholesome individual.

438
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: Um Erica sent us a video of him carrying the

439
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: football from the field into the locker room and ultimately

440
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 1: gives it to Brandon Staley, who is the other difference

441
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 1: on this team. This isn't the team because I'm gonna

442
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: steal the oxygen on Brandon's at a studio desk and

443
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 1: we're gonna start pointing at each other like we're Stephen

444
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: staring at screens for you know you are. You're the

445
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 1: Brandon Staley guy. You've had that beat covered last year.

446
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: It early last year. Is that rules now? It's well,

447
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: I'm on that beat too, well Staley versus multiple beats.

448
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: You might be missing a beat if you're on too

449
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 1: many beats. I can do both. It's too a lot

450
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 1: of teams that we got to talk about them all

451
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 1: like three times a week, the Cowboys, by the way,

452
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys friends. Like wait a second, when you're

453
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: preview in the game with Americas, you only talk about

454
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 1: America's team. That's how it looks. No, we're talking about

455
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: the other team more this week. But the Cowboys they

456
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 1: are who I thought they were. We talked about it

457
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: on the power ranks with that Money Smith. I think

458
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: they're gonna be awesome on offense. I think they're gonna

459
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 1: struggle to get stops on defense until they prove otherwise.

460
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,360
Speaker 1: That's how I see it. I don't put a lot

461
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: into the turnovers last week, and I think they're going

462
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: to struggle in this game to stop just well, yeah,

463
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 1: we're burying the lead on their defense. To Marcus Lawrence

464
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,640
Speaker 1: broke his foot at practice this week. Do you want

465
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: to know how many times did the Dallas defense touched

466
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 1: Tom Brady last week or their defensive line? It was

467
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: zero one. They got one hit on Tom Brady and

468
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: it was a safety, and that in DeMarcus Lawrence had

469
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 1: a great game. He had a vintage game. I was like, Okay,

470
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 1: if they get vintage de Marcus Lawrence. I know he

471
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: didn't get the QB hits, but a ton of pressure,

472
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 1: is very active in the run game. Is easily their

473
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: best player on defense. He's now out for two months.

474
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: Randy Gregory, who's their other starting pass rusher is on

475
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 1: the COVID list and is unlikely to play in this game.

476
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 1: No Dallas defensive lineman made a play. Meanwhile, you've got

477
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 1: all this money in draft capital in Vander esh and

478
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: Jalen Smith, who combined for thirty one snaps last week.

479
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: I'm fascinated by that situation. The only reason why I

480
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: give the the Cowboys any chance in this game is

481
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:19,439
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott with those two receivers, even without Gallup, who

482
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: has also hurt. That one kind of slipped under the radar.

483
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 1: He's on I R they had a really tough injury week.

484
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: Is one of the only guys who I think could

485
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 1: possibly Outsmart Brandon's daily because I think before the snap,

486
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott is the guy who is kind of taking

487
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: over for Aaron Rodgers, and Tom Brady is like the

488
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: next guy who is just like winning from the neck up.

489
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 1: But otherwise you don't give him much of a chance

490
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: at all. And that's why I'm locking up the charge.

491
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 1: Look at you, all right, I thought that was coming.

492
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 1: I was wondering where I kind of forgot. And by

493
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: the way, we need to clean it up as a group.

494
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: That was That was a catastrophe in week one all

495
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: of us. Not only do we lose our locks, our

496
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: respected teams are blown out and then the Westling brothers

497
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: they got involved. They lost too. So you know, Ricky,

498
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: we had to take her off the game because she

499
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 1: was you know, well we didn't even talk about that.

500
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: Was like, no, she's out, and you know I felt

501
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 1: bad for your dad. He was really upset. Yeah, well

502
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: upset about your performance last year, that you weren't involved

503
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 1: this year. No that I wasn't involved. You want to

504
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: get guys are supposed to protect you. I wasn't aware

505
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 1: of this drama. She was just not involved in the

506
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 1: low I wanted to and Greg said no, It said Greg,

507
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: why I don't remember that? I wasn't there for that.

508
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 1: It was unslacked because she cheated and then she quit.

509
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: Never cheated. Definitely cheating, Yeah what I mean what that's

510
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: part that once you admit to it, that'd be fine.

511
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 1: That's something you should be. You know, she's out, but

512
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: then she quit. She just stopped doing it halfway to

513
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: have locked in week one, like well I wanted to

514
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: do the rams, but that wasn't I'll give it to

515
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: your one or no, they were they were over there.

516
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: They were over the limit too. I think a one

517
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: a one game suspension, that's all that was. It was

518
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: just a one game, So give me a loss then

519
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 1: for week one. No, I don't want to do that.

520
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 1: If you pick the rams, we'll give it to you.

521
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 1: It's not I I do believe like a woman, you know,

522
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 1: to quote the great great Omar, you know, played by

523
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 1: the late great Michael Kay Williams, like a woman's got

524
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 1: a coat. I gotta have a code if you cheat

525
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: in the game, if you're in a competitive game and

526
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: you cheat, and then you quit. On top of the cheating,

527
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: the quitting was really the part that got me more

528
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 1: stopped playing, Like there's suddenly more, this is something. This

529
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: is tense. I mean, what are we what is happening here?

530
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: You're allowed back in the typically like doesn't care about anything,

531
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, now he has principle. He doesn't

532
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 1: want I ever said about the locks. My problem with

533
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:48,159
Speaker 1: it is that if you're gonna have a game, it

534
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 1: has to have rules. Eventually, we kind of made these rules.

535
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 1: Seems like you're bending over backwards to kick Eric out

536
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: of the game, which is called if if you if

537
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 1: you cheat and you quit. You gotta respect the game, Ricky,

538
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,120
Speaker 1: I got your back. Thank you, you're back. Nice to her.

539
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 1: She listen, she had a tough season. I don't want

540
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: to be around anymore. She had a tough season. Maybe

541
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: she made some mistakes. But raise your hand if you've

542
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: never made a mistake. I've definitely never cheated and then

543
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: quit in a competitive game. Right, let's move on. Let's

544
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,439
Speaker 1: move on. You lock up. Let's keep talking about that

545
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,479
Speaker 1: for another ten to twelve minutes. All right, I'm up.

546
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: M hmm, all right, Daddy Rich is gonna roll. This

547
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: is the fourth name you've put on yourself during the show.

548
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: It's very confusing. Got to speed it up here, all right,

549
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 1: here we go. Let's pick up the pace here. I

550
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,959
Speaker 1: will love this. A f c S matchup Buffalo at Miami.

551
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: Let's go, let's do it. Love it. Did not get

552
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: two worked up about the Bills performance. Not real. It

553
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: was a little bit surprised by the offensive line. No

554
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: showing there against Pittsburgh. Um, But like the coaching staff,

555
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 1: love the roster. Obviously, I think they bounced back. And

556
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: for me, the Dolphins at home here, I'm not taking

557
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: this game. Third. Overall, it's in Buffalo. But the fact

558
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: that it's the Bills on the road in Miami against

559
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: the Dolphins team, as you put it, well, Greg, last

560
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: week they kind of Outpatriots. The Patriots, they just find

561
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: a way to ugly things up and keep things closed.

562
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: The Steelers did it to the Bills in Week one.

563
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: Could the Dolphins do the same thing? Uh in Week two?

564
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: And if they do, do we start to get a

565
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,719
Speaker 1: little nervous about the Bill's offense not being what it

566
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: was last year. Mark I, I really think that we're

567
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: looking at a Week one scenario where the Steelers are

568
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 1: a bad matchup for Buffalo. We talked about that on

569
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: the Sunday Night Show. You could last year's matchup it

570
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 1: was ugly for Buffalo on some to some degree they won.

571
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 1: But you know, last week Allen was one for eight

572
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 1: on pass of twenty yards. Little things like the flea

573
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 1: flicker they attempted that was swatted down by the Steelers

574
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: last year. That play works and because something electric, it

575
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 1: becomes a highlight. He took off on a scramble, he

576
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: was stripped by t J. Watt, another mistake. They had

577
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 1: two turnovers on downs. It just didn't go well for them.

578
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: Five holding six holding penalties by the offensive. I'm with you,

579
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 1: John Feliciano was abused last week. If that state, if

580
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 1: that continues offensive line problems, I do think you have

581
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: an issue because that's the kind of thing that can

582
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: on spool an offense. But last year or over, in

583
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: four games against the Brian Flores, Josh Allen has a

584
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: twelve to one touchdown and this has been a beautiful

585
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: matchup for It's been great. And Stephon Diggs last year

586
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 1: lit him up for about two and twenty nine yards

587
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: over two matchups. So I like that. I like that.

588
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 1: I liked for Buffalo the environment just because of the history.

589
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: But I think there's a little bit of pressure for

590
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: them to get off the schneide after last week. I mean,

591
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: they just weren't fresh. I think it's the biggest week

592
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: to games just in terms of like the shape of

593
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: the season and what matters from a contending standpoint, because yes, Dan,

594
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: if if they lose in any fashion, there two games

595
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 1: back in the division. I know you've got fifteen to play,

596
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 1: but you're O and two and your two games back

597
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: of the Dolphins and you're already down one, then you're

598
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: then you start to get a little concerned. The Dolphins

599
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: don't have the defense to do the same game plan

600
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 1: that Pittsburgh had, which was not rush anyone, drop everyone

601
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: into coverage, force Alan to make decisions and make throws.

602
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: That's not what Miami does. They don't have the players

603
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: up front, and they blitz like crazy. Hasn't really worked

604
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 1: against Josh Allen in the past, and I don't I'm

605
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 1: tending to think it won't work this week. But the

606
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 1: offensive line issues you brought up has one sort of

607
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: X factor that I haven't heard many people talk about.

608
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 1: Dion Dawkins. They're highly paid left tackle, said he thought

609
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: he was gonna die from COVID. He was in the

610
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: hospital for a long time. If this had happened a

611
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 1: year before, it would have been a huge story and

612
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 1: highly paid NFL athlete who was worried that he might

613
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: lose his life and was in really tough shape. He

614
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 1: hadn't played any meaningful snaps since then. He was he

615
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: was run over last week, and he's like a guy

616
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 1: that went on to be great. It's very possible that

617
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: it's just a bad week, you know, and that he

618
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 1: just needed to get into game shape. But I'd be

619
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: a little concerned about that. If I'm a Bill saying

620
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 1: he lost thirty pounds or something like that while he

621
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: was in the hospital, it was not a small and

622
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: that's not typically their natural body weight. They artificially at

623
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: weight where you're an offensive line. Um. Yeah, So we'll

624
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: see if the Bills come out of this building, they're

625
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: flying back to Western New York and they just put

626
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: up seventeen points, I would wonder if some doubts starts

627
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 1: creeping in. All Right, what's happening here? Well? Last week, however, however,

628
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 1: I didn't like what I saw from to A in

629
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 1: Week one. I know he made a couple of plays,

630
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 1: but man, some of those, some of those mistakes he makes,

631
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 1: it makes me think that he might be one of

632
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: those guys that every once in a while you're just

633
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 1: scratching your head once a quarter, once a half about

634
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: something he did. That's what it looks like in week one.

635
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: I need to see more from him. The Dolphins need

636
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 1: to see more from him. Will Fuller's back, but he

637
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: also misspractice undiscoosed injury with an injury, So something to

638
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: keep an eye on, not even injury undisclosed. Something's cooking.

639
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,719
Speaker 1: There may be kidnapped and then they've they've found him.

640
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 1: I mean anything, anything could be happy about it. We

641
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 1: don't know. But anyway, I believe in the Bills. I

642
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 1: believe they'll be okay, and I believe they get right

643
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 1: in Miami. So I am locking up the Buffalo Bills.

644
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: We allowed to say spreads here. I don't even know. Yeah,

645
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: we can say them, we can't. Are favored by three

646
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: and a half. I think they're gonna that's a good number.

647
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: And I think they're gonna win. And uh, the last

648
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: game we're talking about by the desert, don't be afraid

649
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: to look over your shoulder. I don't know. Can I

650
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 1: say that. You could say there's gonna be a lot

651
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 1: of points. We can say the say this, but this

652
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: was a tough one. I took the Dolphins just to cover.

653
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: But Dolphins fans calmed down, they got their backs up

654
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: with toa It's the whole thing. When you have a

655
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: young quarterback that's up and down. It's like the Trabisky

656
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: thing in Chicago, it's darnal in New York. It's every

657
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 1: quarterback two is not at that level. But we can

658
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 1: point out facts, which is he looked great when they

659
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 1: had a quick game last week when he got the

660
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: ball out quick and the kind of the play call

661
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: one for him and he's good at that stuff and

662
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: they're gonna do that. But when he had to hold

663
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 1: the ball, it was a disaster. You want to talk

664
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 1: about pressure. A couple of times he held the ball

665
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,359
Speaker 1: last week. The Patriots won every down if they if

666
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 1: they play poorly and two has a bad day, that's

667
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:21,919
Speaker 1: gonna be a big story heading into a week Week

668
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 1: three from Miami. Al Right, it uh snakes to me

669
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: and what what the hell? I'll sweep out the a

670
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 1: FC East. I can't. I can't risk it Gregg taking

671
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: patch jets um, So I will grab it and I'll

672
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: tell you what I am noivous um after watching Patriots.

673
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: By the way, Bill, what are you doing? You're the

674
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: greatest coach of all time? Now, what are we doing

675
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,720
Speaker 1: a TV studio show with Zolac for? What's that about?

676
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,840
Speaker 1: He's probably obligated to. I don't think he's doing it

677
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,240
Speaker 1: for his own enjoyment. I think Bill can do whatever

678
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:00,360
Speaker 1: he wants. Yeah, I mean it's like a Patriots per auction.

679
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 1: But I think Dan's right and Bill is definitely dictating

680
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: the terms of whatever that involvement is. It's it's the

681
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:08,879
Speaker 1: thing where he is it the same thing he does

682
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 1: every year now zolex involved, but it's he just breaks down,

683
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:13,839
Speaker 1: like one play a week, he comes in and talks

684
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 1: about a thing he probably put his foot down on.

685
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 1: He like came into the studio or he came up

686
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 1: on the monitor and he saw Zola He's like, take

687
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 1: off those sunglasses. Let me ask you know that Zolac

688
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:30,919
Speaker 1: knows that Belichick doesn't respect him, and that's all Belichick needs.

689
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 1: Would you rather talk to a former quarterback, even even

690
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 1: if it's Zolak And I don't know Zolac personally, but

691
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: we've got issues with him on the show, or or

692
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:41,840
Speaker 1: just some sort of reporter JABRUNI Well, it depends on

693
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 1: the reporter. I feel like he'd rather talk to Mike

694
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 1: greath and the Tom cerr And al right, so this

695
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 1: is what this is what my point is. My point

696
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 1: is not to talk Zolac. It's to talk Bellichick. Studying

697
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 1: the Zach Wilson tape and this is on Twitter. You

698
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 1: could find it check it out. Um and Belichick going

699
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 1: through not just one play, going through an entire game

700
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 1: of footage um of Zack Wilson, and he was complimentary

701
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:12,320
Speaker 1: and UM, it's just it's interesting seeing Belichick breakdown tape

702
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 1: and and I'm just thinking he's saying all these nice things,

703
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,760
Speaker 1: but you just know the boy who shall lead them

704
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: is in grave danger because the hooded one is planning

705
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 1: something dire. So he's he's you know, he's on an

706
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 1: autopilot going through the video and he's got zolac, you know,

707
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: they're so he just feeding zolac what he needs. But

708
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: you know, as watch the tape, he's studying Zach Wilson

709
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 1: and he wants to ruin Zach Wilson. And Zach Wilson

710
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 1: doesn't need more to help people trying to ruin him

711
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 1: because his own offensive line almost got him killed last week.

712
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 1: Ten hits, six sacks, and now I will say this,

713
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: as bad as the old line was last week against

714
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 1: the Panthers, um, and it's not gonna get better because

715
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 1: McKay Beckton's out at least six weeks with the knee injury.

716
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: Wilson was responsible for some of those sacks as well.

717
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,720
Speaker 1: And that's just the issue when you have a first

718
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:13,839
Speaker 1: year quarterback with limited experience who ran a college um

719
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 1: Ran was the college program that didn't have really a

720
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 1: true pro offense where you have to make decisions in

721
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,959
Speaker 1: the same way a pro quarterback does. Things are gonna

722
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:24,720
Speaker 1: take a while for Wilson to be comfortable in this setup.

723
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 1: But from a positive stand positive standpoint was Wilson was

724
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: when he was getting destroyed in that second half. It

725
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:32,839
Speaker 1: kind of could have snowballed and he would have had

726
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: a nothing burger game. Instead, he threw two touchdowns. He

727
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 1: got drilled late in the game and got up and

728
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 1: throw a beautiful touchdown past the Corey Davis, and I

729
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: just thought there was a lot of good there, and

730
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 1: it's just like, you cannot get this kid hurt because

731
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,839
Speaker 1: if they do what they did yet last week on

732
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: that line and their protect protection schemes and Michael floores

733
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,280
Speaker 1: on on the spot here too, to be smart about

734
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:56,800
Speaker 1: this protecting the boy, he won't make it till October.

735
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: So that's a big thing I'm worried about. In this game.

736
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 1: I was a little throne by how punished he was

737
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 1: because I thought in this MICHAELA Floor offense that if anything,

738
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 1: it's quarterback friendly and you find ways for to keep

739
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: your quarterback safe. I kind of like that he had

740
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: to go through so much last week because it taught

741
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 1: me a lot about him. I didn't watch this game

742
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 1: till last night, and UM, I'll make it justin Herbert

743
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: comparison because it brought me a fair amount of excitement.

744
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm at the point now I think

745
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 1: there was a a Jets Brown's kind of rivalry between

746
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,240
Speaker 1: Dan and I because they were both in such dark places.

747
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: But I am rooting for this guy because I find

748
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 1: him to be a rugged human who every single time

749
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 1: he got lamb based in last week got up and

750
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 1: there are things he does with his arm, and I

751
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 1: think Belichick at least um honestly complimented him about his

752
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:46,840
Speaker 1: live arm and what he can do outside of the pocket.

753
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 1: He's exciting to watch. I have never watched the Jets

754
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 1: game with a quarterback like this, and so I think,

755
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 1: no matter what the results are, UM arrow him, help

756
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: you do and I like they had to come up

757
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 1: with a better plan. But you you mentioned this on

758
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 1: Twitter two because everyone likes Joe Douglas the Jets GM

759
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 1: is first of all, if you picked the right quarterback,

760
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 1: everyone's gonna love him. But he's had years to get

761
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 1: this line together and they poured, They've used draft picks,

762
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 1: they've tried to make it work, but it's still not working.

763
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: And the only thing you worry about. And I think

764
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 1: of guys like Tim Couch back in the day, but

765
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 1: there's fifty of these people that if you get too battered,

766
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:23,879
Speaker 1: that you start to lose it from the neck up.

767
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 1: And does that affect you in year two and beyond?

768
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,799
Speaker 1: I mean, you just cannot have him too punished. I

769
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: tend to believe if you're the guy, you'll be the guy.

770
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:32,800
Speaker 1: And Zach Wilson, I think he looks like the guy

771
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 1: to me. I think Zach, you know, to put it

772
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 1: on a Patriots be fan being nervous about it. Zach

773
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: Wilson has what Bill Belichick can't plan for, though, which

774
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:43,919
Speaker 1: is he's just like not afraid and he can make

775
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 1: plays on his own. And those are the quarterbacks who

776
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 1: have traditionally given Bill Belichick the biggest problems. Cam Newton

777
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 1: and his prime certainly Patrick Mahomes. The guys who's like,

778
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 1: what am I gonna call for that? And yes, you

779
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: can confuse the protection scheme the Panthers did last week.

780
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 1: I don't know if the Patriots are good upfront, as

781
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: as the Panthers are. I was not impressed by the

782
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: Patriots defense last week. I thought they were lucky that

783
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 1: they only gave up sixteen points. They didn't, you know,

784
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 1: we there was a lot of buzz about them. They

785
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,839
Speaker 1: didn't win a lot of one on one matchups. Um,

786
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 1: you would think Belichick, you're right, can can cook him

787
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:20,240
Speaker 1: up a little bit. But he's got he's got that

788
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 1: that thing you can't teach. I think it's gonna be

789
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: fascinating though the offensive line conversation. There was a report

790
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 1: that the Patriots were gonna take Elijah Avera Tucker. The

791
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 1: paid the Jets first round pick, which the Jets gave

792
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 1: up a third to move up ahead of New England.

793
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 1: It's a it's a totally crazy sliding doors moment because

794
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:38,839
Speaker 1: they wouldn't have drafted mac Jones. I have a hard

795
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 1: time believing that like that, you know it's a report.

796
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:44,840
Speaker 1: Is that maybe the report's not right because they wouldn't

797
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 1: have traded Matt you wouldn't have drafted mac Jones, and

798
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 1: then everything would be very very I'm not panicking totally

799
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 1: on the offensive line yet, but it is true. I

800
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:54,760
Speaker 1: think Joe Douglas has gotten a lot of rope early

801
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: on here because he took over and uh, you know

802
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:00,360
Speaker 1: in a strange situation with Gaye getting the GM hired.

803
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 1: But now these are all his guys. These are all

804
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:05,360
Speaker 1: the guys he brought in, including, like Greg said, trading

805
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 1: up to get the guard that he wanted, McKay Beckton,

806
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:09,799
Speaker 1: who's starting to get me nervous about can that guy

807
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 1: stay healthy? Um, there are things that need to start

808
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:16,800
Speaker 1: to click there. And I think with Belichick, as we know, um,

809
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 1: he likes to say, Okay, who's the guy the quarterback

810
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 1: loves and trusts? Okay, for so far is Zack Wilson.

811
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:24,799
Speaker 1: It's Corey Davis. So I expect Corey Davis to have

812
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 1: some issues in this game. So Elijah Moore a camp hero,

813
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,320
Speaker 1: is he gonna be able to step up Jamison Crowder

814
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: if he's back, is he able gonna make some place?

815
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 1: Can the running game get going? You can't give it

816
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: to the kid and say do everything it doesn't work out. Um,

817
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 1: I'll be interested to see how aggressive they let mac

818
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 1: Jones be throwing, because it seems pretty clear the biggest

819
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:47,359
Speaker 1: weakness on the Jets is their secondary in their cornerbacks,

820
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 1: and you would think the recipe here is don't be

821
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 1: too conservative, throw the ball a lot, but they saw

822
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 1: but he got hit a lot last week, and they

823
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 1: they did call it pretty conservative for most of the game.

824
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 1: So I'd like to see them be a gress. We'll see,

825
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:05,399
Speaker 1: just I'm not feeling as confident. I feel as like

826
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 1: the odds makers are. They're pretty heavy favorites, six point favorites,

827
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 1: and Patriots fans are just thinking like this is an

828
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 1: eleven twelve one team, all right, let's see it. And

829
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 1: the Jets Patriots rivalry is just in a different place

830
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 1: now than it than it was. Brady's gone now, gaze

831
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:20,919
Speaker 1: has gone to It's just like a whole different five

832
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 1: two things. Mac Jones refusing the first touchdown ball is

833
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 1: just like I know that stuff. It's just it's relentless,

834
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 1: like just keep the ball. He was going to be

835
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 1: a Patriot enough. He waves it away and then the

836
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:35,319
Speaker 1: other thing. And I saw it immediately in reports, and

837
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:37,360
Speaker 1: this is the carrying of the water up there in

838
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 1: New England, the reporters and everything. It's like Damien Harris

839
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:44,800
Speaker 1: brutal fumble there cost them the game. I understand. Xavian Howard,

840
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,239
Speaker 1: by the way, is a All Pro player who just

841
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 1: made a great play, and immediately it's like, Okay, he's

842
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 1: gonna be in the doghouse. The other kid that fumble

843
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:54,839
Speaker 1: is gonna be in the doghouse. These guys will never

844
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,839
Speaker 1: get a main role in the offense. Again, All these

845
00:42:57,840 --> 00:42:59,359
Speaker 1: things are gonna happen. Can we just calm down. Can

846
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 1: a guy make him a steak? Can running back make

847
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:04,399
Speaker 1: a mistake in New England and live the tale? I mean,

848
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 1: let's see scale. When you're as good as Damien Harris,

849
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 1: who is clearly the best running back on the team

850
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:13,320
Speaker 1: and looked awesome, then Bell doesn't. It's more a coverage

851
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 1: thing of the Patriots, I think than even a Patriots thing,

852
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:18,799
Speaker 1: although of course there is something to it, Like I

853
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 1: hope Damien Harris and not just because he's on my

854
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 1: fantasy team, but it doesn't doesn't hurt. I hope Damian

855
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 1: Harris doesn't get seven carries on Sunday because he fumbled

856
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 1: once in a game. I'm not worried about that. But

857
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:32,319
Speaker 1: historically some of the backs that have fumbled were never

858
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:35,919
Speaker 1: seen again by their families or anyone. So was there

859
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 1: that was on Wes's radar. Who was a guy Jonas

860
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 1: Gray who went over two hundred yards in his first

861
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 1: game and then fumble that he was late for practice. West. Yeah,

862
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 1: West never forgave I mean, change his life for not

863
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 1: letting him play. He's imagined that. Imagine you go for

864
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:53,240
Speaker 1: two hundred yards and four touchdowns on Sunday Night football,

865
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 1: and then your iPhone battery dies and you wake up

866
00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 1: and it's nine am at Patriots practice at A That's

867
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 1: what happened. I'm sure he went to bed earlier. I'm

868
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:10,920
Speaker 1: sure there was nothing else going on there with wife practice. Greg,

869
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:14,240
Speaker 1: you're up, Okay, I'm getting I got my dream draft.

870
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 1: I really only wanted two games. I got them both.

871
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:22,319
Speaker 1: The second one is the Philadelphia Eagles hosting the San

872
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 1: Francantino forty Niners. I picked the upset on the dot com.

873
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:30,239
Speaker 1: I took the Eagles to win this game because I

874
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,719
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be a tough matchup for teams right now.

875
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:34,799
Speaker 1: I still think the forty Niners are just a better

876
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:36,960
Speaker 1: team and they're gonna have a great season. But I

877
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:40,360
Speaker 1: think this is a tough spot because like Baltimore a

878
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:42,920
Speaker 1: few years ago, and like some of these teams that

879
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 1: run college type offenses. I don't know how easy they're

880
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 1: gonna be to prepare for this Eagles team before they

881
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 1: put some tape on the board, and I think they're

882
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 1: gonna be able to throw new wrinkles in every week.

883
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 1: I loved what Sirianna showed last week. They also were

884
00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 1: pretty creative defensively, but that's more just assist to me

885
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:03,319
Speaker 1: see elsewhere. They're running a college type of running game,

886
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 1: and the Lions had some success running up the middle

887
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 1: against San Francisco. I think that might be the weak

888
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 1: part of their defense if you can, and I think

889
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 1: they can shorten games, and I think it's early in

890
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 1: the season. I love the Jalen Hurts Nick Sirianni handshake.

891
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 1: They got a special handshake. Did you see that? I

892
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:24,759
Speaker 1: have like they're vibing. It's good, you know, like it

893
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:28,319
Speaker 1: teaches me a lesson because like Nick Sirianni was a

894
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 1: joke to us for much of the off season because

895
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 1: he is not necessarily like CEO front facing speech giver man.

896
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 1: Although I swear he's gained ten pounds of muscles since then.

897
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:40,839
Speaker 1: It also like those speeches have gone away. But don't

898
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:43,960
Speaker 1: you I feel like we are gonna think completely different

899
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 1: about Nick Sirianni by the end of the season, and

900
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 1: we already do. I mean, he looks like a good

901
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 1: higher right. I always wondering, I'm I'm getting overly carried

902
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:53,879
Speaker 1: away because I love the Eagles, But I do think

903
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 1: it's like a fun offense. They created a perfect offense

904
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 1: for for Jalen Hurts, and it's like he's sort of

905
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 1: Sirianni said, like, like my whole thing was and there

906
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 1: are coaches that are not like this. Even still in

907
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:06,279
Speaker 1: He's like, I want to go in and build it

908
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:08,399
Speaker 1: around the players that we have, And like, I loved

909
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:11,320
Speaker 1: what I saw from Demontes Devanto Smith last last week.

910
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 1: I mean they needed one of these wide receivers to

911
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 1: step up. Jalen Reagor had a good game for once.

912
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 1: I mean that wasn't the case last year. And Next

913
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:22,880
Speaker 1: Gen Stats points out that Jalen Hurts his average pass

914
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:25,760
Speaker 1: traveled three point seven yards past the line of scrimmage,

915
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:28,480
Speaker 1: shorter and shortest of any started the league. That's yards

916
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 1: after the catch. That's putting him into a scenario where

917
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:33,720
Speaker 1: he can complete passes. He was twenty seven for thirty

918
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 1: five and he absolutely does defensive coordinators on the ground.

919
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 1: Here's the thing with that, it's like that's good, but good,

920
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:45,799
Speaker 1: good defensive coaches and better defenses are going to clamp

921
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:48,439
Speaker 1: down on that. That's what he has a deep ball too, though,

922
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 1: And guess what the Falcons. Listen, we don't want to

923
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 1: make too much of anything in week one, but they

924
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:55,839
Speaker 1: could be two and fifteen the way they looked in

925
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:58,360
Speaker 1: that game. So they're They're one of the teams the

926
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 1: Eagles that I'm I opened my mind more, my mind

927
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:05,280
Speaker 1: more than any other team. Like okay, maybe, yeah, okay,

928
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:08,360
Speaker 1: I see this now, but I also you have to

929
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 1: factor in that the Falcons were a joke in Week one,

930
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 1: so they didn't show up. So it's like, what do

931
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 1: I take a team to do? Though? You blow out? Um,

932
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 1: that's why, really I'm excited to see how they look

933
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 1: against the team that's prepared and has more talent level

934
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 1: than the Falcons. One reason that Eagles are not a fluke.

935
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:26,879
Speaker 1: And it's like, you know, we know this, we knew

936
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 1: this coming into the year to some degrees, all in

937
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 1: offensive line, defensive line. That's that's how you win, go

938
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 1: win ten games, even if you're lesser and stay healthy.

939
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 1: So they hooked up Henry's boy Jordan my Latta hadn't

940
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 1: mentioned it to a massive extension before the season. Yeah.

941
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:46,320
Speaker 1: Some people thought was like, oh, this is too early,

942
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 1: like why are you paying this guy who hasn't totally

943
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 1: proven it yet? And I thought it was really smart

944
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 1: because they got a little bit of a discount on

945
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:55,840
Speaker 1: a guy they've seen all offseason continue to develop and

946
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 1: they believe he can be a top five left tackle

947
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 1: and the way he played last week, he already And

948
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 1: they just have those running plays where Lane Johnson and

949
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:07,239
Speaker 1: Kelsey and my Latta are destroying opponents that just kind

950
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 1: of get you out of your seat if they if

951
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:10,719
Speaker 1: this is who Jalen Hurts is on a week to

952
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 1: week basis still win ten or eleven games well, and

953
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:16,840
Speaker 1: he's on on an audition, so good good. First, he

954
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:19,400
Speaker 1: can hit guys when you do protect for him, he

955
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:23,080
Speaker 1: can hit open guys, which sounds like not an obvious

956
00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 1: like and that's sort of like the baseline of whether

957
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 1: you're a starting quarterback, like at least to be like

958
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:30,440
Speaker 1: an Andy Dalton. All right, Mark, you're up, all right,

959
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:34,239
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. Uh. The Minnesota Vikings one wait one thing.

960
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:36,920
Speaker 1: Sorry to interrupt you, Ricky, I know you wanted to

961
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:40,840
Speaker 1: jump in. Yeah, definitely. I think that the forty Niners

962
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 1: are still figuring their stuff out. I mean, Trey Lance

963
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:45,479
Speaker 1: through the first touchdown for the forty Niners last week

964
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 1: and go off through a pick six, So like that score,

965
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:51,000
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily think they haven't. As much as I

966
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:55,479
Speaker 1: trust Shanahan. There's so many injuries too that they're dealing with.

967
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,399
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna go ahead and side with Greg here,

968
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 1: but I'm going to lock up the Eagle underdog. Alright.

969
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 1: I like it, Ricky. Now are you okay with that?

970
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 1: Does that make up for the RAMS lock? I mean, well,

971
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:11,879
Speaker 1: the RAMS one doesn't count. She she volunteered to take

972
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:14,839
Speaker 1: a loss. I'm willing to consider. No, we said, she knew.

973
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:16,400
Speaker 1: You got to know the rules too. That was like,

974
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 1: are we going we're going back down this avenue? Well,

975
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, Mark. You put it, well, it's dense,

976
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:27,839
Speaker 1: it's a dense and thorny and confusing. Uh, and it's

977
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:30,759
Speaker 1: it's trailing away from us. All right, go ahead, Mark,

978
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 1: I as mentioned, I'm gonna go Minnesota Vikings, Arizona Cardinals,

979
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 1: and it is not because of the Minnesota Vikings. Yeah,

980
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:39,440
Speaker 1: they were kind of an annoying team to watch in

981
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:41,799
Speaker 1: Week one. Yeah, I has a twelve penalties, I mean

982
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:44,880
Speaker 1: a penalty ridden, um mistake prone team, and you know,

983
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 1: Mike Zimmer obviously just more annoyed than ever. Her cousins

984
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:50,320
Speaker 1: through for three fifty one yards in that game. No,

985
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 1: you and Zimmer are kind of kissing cousins in a

986
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:54,520
Speaker 1: lot of ways. Like I see, if I had to say,

987
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:57,359
Speaker 1: who's the NFL coach you I most connect with, Mark,

988
00:49:57,400 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 1: it's Zimmer really just like always kind of like ready

989
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:02,640
Speaker 1: like that. It's it checks out a lot of things

990
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:05,840
Speaker 1: that are yours. Kind of the coach I'm most worried

991
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:10,120
Speaker 1: about just um like just having too much stress in

992
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:12,399
Speaker 1: his life. I will, I'll process that. I'm not sure

993
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:14,880
Speaker 1: that I that the comparison, but a guy that's respected

994
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:18,800
Speaker 1: and everyone likes him now a lot of cooking a

995
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:21,200
Speaker 1: lot of cooking and behind the eyes. Well, I'm not

996
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:23,759
Speaker 1: sure what I feel about Cliff Kingsbury yet, but um,

997
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:26,759
Speaker 1: I do think that last week, if anything, took some

998
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:29,120
Speaker 1: heat off a coach that you know, I think we

999
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:31,040
Speaker 1: put on the hot seat in one of our podcasts,

1000
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:33,319
Speaker 1: not too far back, one of the hottest butts, one

1001
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:37,360
Speaker 1: of the hottest butts. And one thing about the Cardinals physically, No,

1002
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:40,200
Speaker 1: well I don't know. He's he works out, but that's

1003
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:43,360
Speaker 1: not what would mean No, no major issues there um

1004
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:46,000
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray and we talked about offensive lines a minute ago.

1005
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:48,360
Speaker 1: He went out of his way to say that Rodney Hudson,

1006
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 1: their center, has made an absolute ton of world of differentners.

1007
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 1: Get rid of this guy, I don't under God. And

1008
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 1: good job by the Cardinals because there are a hundred teams,

1009
00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:00,359
Speaker 1: well there's only thirty teams, but there are a bunch

1010
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:02,560
Speaker 1: of teams that could have used Roddy Harritt Hudson, and

1011
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 1: he went to the Cardinals on a on a trade

1012
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:07,719
Speaker 1: that wasn't too rough in terms of what they had

1013
00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:09,280
Speaker 1: to give up to get him. Yeah, and we questioned

1014
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:11,880
Speaker 1: their offseason the A. J. Green and J. J. Watt

1015
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 1: beyond the prime potentially, But Hudson has been a home run.

1016
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:16,920
Speaker 1: And I think that's for me as a reason to

1017
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 1: believe that what happened last week, there's no fluky nature

1018
00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:22,560
Speaker 1: to what happened last week for the Cardinals for me, yes, somewhat.

1019
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:26,880
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones getting five sacks won't happen again four thousand generations.

1020
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:29,160
Speaker 1: But um, it does tell you that they're able to

1021
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:31,840
Speaker 1: generate pressure, that their defense looked so much better than

1022
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:34,040
Speaker 1: I thought it would a week ago. And Kyler Murray

1023
00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:36,160
Speaker 1: is an m VP candidate, and I had kind of

1024
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:38,920
Speaker 1: fallen out of belief in Kyler Murray a little bit,

1025
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 1: or I just started to question it was it was

1026
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:43,959
Speaker 1: hurt down the stretch. But also, you know our friend

1027
00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 1: Jason Zumwald, Um, I think he makes a good point

1028
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 1: that his bickering about the Cardinals over the off season

1029
00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:52,279
Speaker 1: was tied to some degree about the fact that so

1030
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:54,959
Speaker 1: much of the team, our guys were like five nine

1031
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:58,120
Speaker 1: and five ten and shorter. But when you've got the

1032
00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:00,120
Speaker 1: speed and when you can produce what are we doing here?

1033
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:06,160
Speaker 1: It's enjoyable. It's enjoyable. Um. I just can't wait to

1034
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 1: watch the Cardinals. You know, in live It's it happened.

1035
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:10,319
Speaker 1: This is also at four oh five. Well, it's not

1036
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:13,279
Speaker 1: into teams short. I mean, I take offense. I don't

1037
00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:15,239
Speaker 1: know where he's at today. I think his movie The

1038
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:18,239
Speaker 1: probably that many short guys other than Rondell Moore and

1039
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:22,399
Speaker 1: Greg like He's not taking a shot at you being

1040
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:25,480
Speaker 1: five six point two. He's talking about footballs putting the

1041
00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 1: ceiling on the athletic potential of short people, um, which

1042
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:31,480
Speaker 1: has been done forever. I don't think you were included

1043
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:33,759
Speaker 1: in the critique, but I'll check back with him on that.

1044
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:35,840
Speaker 1: In fact, I'm not even sure what the critique is

1045
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:37,799
Speaker 1: on his On his part, I will note this game

1046
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:39,759
Speaker 1: is at four oh five, which is the way I

1047
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:44,319
Speaker 1: like to do things. Get you get well, not the

1048
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:46,279
Speaker 1: first games going forever, but you want to get that

1049
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:51,160
Speaker 1: four o'clock versus running late. You're banged in a big spot.

1050
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:54,960
Speaker 1: It's you know, suddenly I'm tracking three games, um, you know,

1051
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:57,239
Speaker 1: and bad job by you guys. I gotta say, what

1052
00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:00,759
Speaker 1: do you mean that, DLin Cook? I can't believe they

1053
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:03,040
Speaker 1: that that changed that game and not I'm not saying

1054
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:04,800
Speaker 1: the Vikings even deserved to win that game because the

1055
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:07,600
Speaker 1: Bengals were even. Dalvin Cook didn't complain. He said it

1056
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:09,799
Speaker 1: was a bang bang player and Dalvid Cook's gotta hold

1057
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:12,960
Speaker 1: onto the ball. But I am just surprised. We're like

1058
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 1: shocked that that was ruled a fumble. He was on

1059
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:16,920
Speaker 1: his butt and the ball is still in his hands,

1060
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:20,120
Speaker 1: and then they went and they reviewed it, and I know,

1061
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:21,719
Speaker 1: you gotta stick with the call in the field, but

1062
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:28,200
Speaker 1: if like if you see his buttocks like super slow

1063
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:30,920
Speaker 1: motion and you didn't have the great anger, that's just

1064
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:32,680
Speaker 1: a huge call to make in that spot. I guess

1065
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:34,759
Speaker 1: hold onto the ball down the cook. I see that

1066
00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:39,200
Speaker 1: side of it too. I just mean, yeah, I'm not

1067
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:43,360
Speaker 1: into getting mad at like replays anymore unless it's like incredible.

1068
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:45,960
Speaker 1: It's like we're we're it's like if you have to

1069
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:49,600
Speaker 1: slow it down, it's I don't know, never as obvious

1070
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:52,439
Speaker 1: as people make it. I don't think the Vikings were

1071
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:57,840
Speaker 1: quite as bad as as I just find. My cousins

1072
00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:00,680
Speaker 1: played well, but their offensive line was was a problem.

1073
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:03,239
Speaker 1: That's the reason the reason I picked the Cardinals. I

1074
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:05,200
Speaker 1: like them to cover three and a half points is

1075
00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:08,880
Speaker 1: their defense Vance Joseph. I think people got to start

1076
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:11,879
Speaker 1: given Vance Joseph a little love. I love the way

1077
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:14,080
Speaker 1: that Buddha Baker and these guys we don't even know about,

1078
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:16,600
Speaker 1: Byron Murphy and Robert Alfred who hasn't played in like

1079
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:19,360
Speaker 1: seven years, were just flying away there around There was

1080
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:22,080
Speaker 1: some sort of like energy there that was that was special.

1081
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:25,600
Speaker 1: We actually interviewed Robert Alfred one one evening. I don't

1082
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 1: recall that a number of years. Mark, all right, I'm

1083
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:34,839
Speaker 1: gonna go Cleveland Houston. I don't think it's a premier matchup, um,

1084
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:36,920
Speaker 1: but I would say this, I want to just see

1085
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:40,760
Speaker 1: after what the Texans did last week, the nervous Browns

1086
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:42,680
Speaker 1: fan and me could could kind of go to the

1087
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:45,759
Speaker 1: place like is this trap game potential? I think Cleveland,

1088
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:47,319
Speaker 1: you have to look at what the Browns did again

1089
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 1: in Kansas City. They had the most yards in the

1090
00:54:49,719 --> 00:54:52,880
Speaker 1: league last week. They had four touchdown drives of seventy

1091
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:55,799
Speaker 1: five yards or more. They had eight new starters on

1092
00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:57,920
Speaker 1: defense and still hung around for the most part. I mean,

1093
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:00,160
Speaker 1: they didn't stop Kansas City on any level, but you

1094
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:02,920
Speaker 1: look at that first half. It was mistakes that undid them.

1095
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:06,120
Speaker 1: And here's the other thing. They held the Chiefs running

1096
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 1: backs to forty nine yards. Houston wants to run the

1097
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:11,200
Speaker 1: ball with four different running backs. They run and running

1098
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:14,280
Speaker 1: all day long and keep a safe environment for Tyrod Taylor.

1099
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:16,719
Speaker 1: There's no excuse for Cleveland not to win this game.

1100
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:18,640
Speaker 1: And also the one thing about the Browns now, I

1101
00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:21,480
Speaker 1: want to see where Jeddrick Wills is because uh, Chris

1102
00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:23,920
Speaker 1: Hubbard came in and did not play well at left tackle.

1103
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 1: And if you want to go back two seasons ago

1104
00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:29,440
Speaker 1: to that's when chaos started for Baker Mayfield. When those

1105
00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:33,440
Speaker 1: play well, I mean, it's it just gets worse and worse.

1106
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:38,440
Speaker 1: So it's that that that that's a concert. It was.

1107
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:40,680
Speaker 1: I have no internet, so I am unable to give

1108
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:42,480
Speaker 1: you an answer to that. You could research that we're

1109
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:46,960
Speaker 1: getting getting us not expected to play. They're not going

1110
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,560
Speaker 1: to announce it. It feels like he's week to week

1111
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:51,840
Speaker 1: it Fields. I mean, if anything, it was like a

1112
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:54,160
Speaker 1: sigh of relief that it wasn't a season entrance. That's

1113
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:56,359
Speaker 1: what it looked like in the game to two new

1114
00:55:56,360 --> 00:56:00,279
Speaker 1: faces for Cleveland. Malik McDowell along the defensive line. Um

1115
00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:03,239
Speaker 1: was a beast last week and they if if he

1116
00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:06,760
Speaker 1: continues that a pace, they may have a top seven

1117
00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:10,240
Speaker 1: defensive line and that would be scary to think about. Uh. Secondly,

1118
00:56:10,280 --> 00:56:13,239
Speaker 1: I think we all saw Anthony Schwartz his speed. They

1119
00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 1: used him right away. He had sixty yards in the

1120
00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:18,240
Speaker 1: first quarter that used him on a seventeen yards sweep.

1121
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 1: I think if you're Kevin Stefanski. You love that you

1122
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:23,520
Speaker 1: have this new aspect. We don't have Ojil O'Dell Beckham

1123
00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:26,800
Speaker 1: in this game. That's the only big news I love, Schwartz.

1124
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:28,880
Speaker 1: I think they're being safe with Odell. I don't. I know,

1125
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:32,800
Speaker 1: it's like, let's raise panic signals but not panic signals.

1126
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:37,080
Speaker 1: But I think they're just being very cautious because honestly,

1127
00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:41,440
Speaker 1: here's well he well, I mean, a year ago he

1128
00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:43,439
Speaker 1: was the final piece for this team, we were told,

1129
00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:46,040
Speaker 1: but I'm saying a week ago he's warming up on

1130
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:49,200
Speaker 1: the field the four week one, thinking about whether I'm

1131
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:52,239
Speaker 1: playing or not, and then three days later on Wednesday,

1132
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:56,000
Speaker 1: he's ruled out. And it's just like, hmm, well, it's this,

1133
00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:59,080
Speaker 1: I mean, the timeline of his recovery compared to plenty

1134
00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:02,600
Speaker 1: other A C. L or hooveries, it's clear that it's

1135
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:05,080
Speaker 1: not going well, but it's hard to know much more

1136
00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:07,600
Speaker 1: than that. In in maybe when he does return he'll

1137
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:10,960
Speaker 1: be fine. Swartz Um, you know, I love celebrating a

1138
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:14,200
Speaker 1: Schwartz here on Jewish holiday. Yam Kapoor, you know they're

1139
00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:16,160
Speaker 1: making us work on that. I think that's unfair. That

1140
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:22,800
Speaker 1: is that it is Fineman and oh, I don't actually observe,

1141
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:24,680
Speaker 1: So Gregg's had to come into the office for an

1142
00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:26,960
Speaker 1: hour and forty minutes, and I was lodging a complaining

1143
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:30,880
Speaker 1: sort of tucking my cheek. I've never You're right, though,

1144
00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:43,840
Speaker 1: Kleiman and Schneider are big observers. Hi Holidays. McDowell is

1145
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:48,320
Speaker 1: turning from one of the best stories of training camp. Hey,

1146
00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:51,240
Speaker 1: here's this guy whose career was over because of the

1147
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:54,200
Speaker 1: a TV accident and he made a team years later

1148
00:57:54,280 --> 00:57:57,240
Speaker 1: to like one of the best pickups in the entire

1149
00:57:57,360 --> 00:58:00,800
Speaker 1: NFL that they basically got this total diff maker who

1150
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:06,560
Speaker 1: looks like Shaquille O'Neal out there, the largest defensive lineman

1151
00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:09,919
Speaker 1: i've i've ever seen, Malik McDowell. That's what Andrew Berry does.

1152
00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:13,560
Speaker 1: We undersaw Tyrod uh not undersold them, but like I

1153
00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:15,120
Speaker 1: didn't make a big enough deal because I didn't have

1154
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:18,480
Speaker 1: a chance to really zoom in on that game last week.

1155
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:21,360
Speaker 1: If they get this Tyrode all season, they're gonna be

1156
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:24,480
Speaker 1: That game was outrageous. He was one of the you know,

1157
00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:26,600
Speaker 1: five or six best quarterbacks in the league. But people

1158
00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:30,120
Speaker 1: do forget from seventeen. I went and checked the old

1159
00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:33,800
Speaker 1: QB Index I was just curious. Uh, Tyrode's end of

1160
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:38,760
Speaker 1: your ratings were fifteen, seventeen seventeen. It was a solid quarterback.

1161
00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:41,960
Speaker 1: Maybe he's only thirty two years old. He could be again.

1162
00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:45,600
Speaker 1: I think it would be truly enjoyable to see the

1163
00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:49,000
Speaker 1: Texans kind of go a weird nine and eight and

1164
00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:56,120
Speaker 1: tell everyone right and I feel better. I've thought about that, Mark,

1165
00:58:56,200 --> 00:59:00,160
Speaker 1: because they'd be kind of a to get behind. But

1166
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:03,880
Speaker 1: they're also deactivating Deshaun Watson every week and are totally

1167
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:06,440
Speaker 1: two faced with the media about that and to me

1168
00:59:06,560 --> 00:59:12,200
Speaker 1: have covered themselves um an inglorious fashion on at a

1169
00:59:12,280 --> 00:59:15,560
Speaker 1: team level of how they've handled it. So it's look,

1170
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:18,040
Speaker 1: it makes me hard to wrap my mind. It's convoluted.

1171
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:20,720
Speaker 1: I'm just saying for the Tyrod Taylor's, the Mark Ingram's,

1172
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:22,720
Speaker 1: the Philip Lindsay's of the world, the people that have

1173
00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:25,040
Speaker 1: nothing to do with that, like they have been told

1174
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:28,040
Speaker 1: all offseason, you are floating trash. How about your boy

1175
00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:33,080
Speaker 1: Mark not Mark with the sea. He looked pretty good.

1176
00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:35,800
Speaker 1: I thought his career was kind of overt This Brown schedule,

1177
00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:40,600
Speaker 1: Dan's counting out the Texans maybe three wins. See, this

1178
00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:46,440
Speaker 1: is where if I had the internet that mark ingram

1179
00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:49,680
Speaker 1: drop ready we got okay, the casey narrow loss. You've

1180
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:52,760
Speaker 1: got the Texans. Look at this mark you got the Browns,

1181
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:55,240
Speaker 1: I mean the Bears at home next week and then

1182
00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:58,480
Speaker 1: off to Minnesota. So pick up a dub here, get

1183
00:59:58,520 --> 01:00:04,280
Speaker 1: some momentum going. Let's on, Greg. Oh no, this is

1184
01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:08,320
Speaker 1: where not as prepared as I could be. But I'll

1185
01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:10,760
Speaker 1: just take I'll just take a random game. Let's go

1186
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:16,720
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Atlanta. That's early right, Uh, that is a

1187
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:22,040
Speaker 1: late game. Set yourself up with after you already up

1188
01:00:22,080 --> 01:00:24,680
Speaker 1: at the body. We can take it back. We could

1189
01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:28,040
Speaker 1: totally take it. Have taken it back. Look, yeah, rule,

1190
01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:29,960
Speaker 1: what are what's the game if it doesn't have rule?

1191
01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:32,440
Speaker 1: We ever said that as a rule? What are the

1192
01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:35,040
Speaker 1: rules of the rules and a rule? All right, let's

1193
01:00:35,080 --> 01:00:38,000
Speaker 1: do uh, we'll do Bucks Falcons at this point. Uh,

1194
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:40,919
Speaker 1: what a disaster for the Falcons to have to play

1195
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:44,640
Speaker 1: that team. I don't mean last week, because that was

1196
01:00:44,680 --> 01:00:48,040
Speaker 1: a disaster, but what about the Dean pas revenge game

1197
01:00:48,560 --> 01:00:55,080
Speaker 1: former Patriots old defensive coordinator against his old buddy Tom Brady.

1198
01:00:55,240 --> 01:00:59,600
Speaker 1: There's just nothing they could possibly do to slow down

1199
01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:03,760
Speaker 1: this gear's offense. It's just nothing. They got ten days

1200
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:08,560
Speaker 1: to plan for this team, the Bucks that was winning

1201
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:13,760
Speaker 1: outside the numbers against cornerbacks and safeties. He was moving

1202
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:17,840
Speaker 1: really well. He if he played like that throughout the season,

1203
01:01:18,040 --> 01:01:21,680
Speaker 1: that is a different element to their offense. Geo Bernard,

1204
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:25,000
Speaker 1: your boy made a diving catch on their game winning

1205
01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:28,280
Speaker 1: drive on I think it was third down. That was

1206
01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:31,560
Speaker 1: better than any route or any catch that the Buccaneers

1207
01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:34,400
Speaker 1: had from a running back all year. And I when

1208
01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:37,200
Speaker 1: I saw that play again, I was like, Oh, that's

1209
01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:40,080
Speaker 1: gonna register with Tom Brady, you know what I mean, Like,

1210
01:01:40,440 --> 01:01:44,360
Speaker 1: we don't want old old playoff Lenny and Ronald Jones

1211
01:01:44,400 --> 01:01:47,080
Speaker 1: out here. I want my boy, Geo. When it matters,

1212
01:01:48,880 --> 01:01:51,560
Speaker 1: I would say this like The Athletic noted that the

1213
01:01:51,560 --> 01:01:54,400
Speaker 1: Falcons were the only team that did not produce a

1214
01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:59,760
Speaker 1: single gain of twenty plus yards last week, and they

1215
01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:02,800
Speaker 1: were of two offenses that didn't score a touchdown. If

1216
01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:04,760
Speaker 1: you want a bright spot, because I covered that game

1217
01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:08,680
Speaker 1: last week and after the first quarter it looked like

1218
01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:11,680
Speaker 1: it was going to be competitive and fiery from wire

1219
01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:13,520
Speaker 1: to wire, and then the Falcons fell off a cliff.

1220
01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:16,200
Speaker 1: But the first two drives they drove down to Philly's

1221
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:18,720
Speaker 1: nine and three yard line. They were both field goals.

1222
01:02:18,800 --> 01:02:21,240
Speaker 1: But if you watch those first two drives, that's what

1223
01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:25,560
Speaker 1: I think Arthur Smith wants to do Matt Ryan offensively.

1224
01:02:25,640 --> 01:02:27,680
Speaker 1: But I mean, they just they just have to do

1225
01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:30,160
Speaker 1: that right. They cannot be that bad again. But we

1226
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:33,400
Speaker 1: keep talking about offensive lines. There's was a hot mess

1227
01:02:33,480 --> 01:02:35,040
Speaker 1: last week, and you don't trust that. I'm gonna be

1228
01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:38,200
Speaker 1: super annoyed by the way if if we went through

1229
01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:41,720
Speaker 1: the entire draft process being told that Kyle Pitts is

1230
01:02:41,880 --> 01:02:45,200
Speaker 1: a legitimate god and then he does what every rookie

1231
01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:48,560
Speaker 1: tight end does, which is go for one week. I

1232
01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:52,040
Speaker 1: just I'm just getting it's it's on my radar because

1233
01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:54,360
Speaker 1: I will because you already already pulled this routine with

1234
01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:56,040
Speaker 1: me with O. J. Howard a couple of years ago.

1235
01:02:56,400 --> 01:02:57,840
Speaker 1: And this guy and that guy and this guy and

1236
01:02:57,880 --> 01:03:00,240
Speaker 1: that guy. Do not hit me with a bunch of

1237
01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:03,880
Speaker 1: four two for Kyle Pitts. And my other thought with

1238
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:06,920
Speaker 1: Ronck is I hope I hope he stays healthy. Um,

1239
01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:10,720
Speaker 1: I also know he's older, the body gets beat up

1240
01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:12,440
Speaker 1: as the season goes along. We might not see that

1241
01:03:12,640 --> 01:03:15,680
Speaker 1: version again at any point last year or the year before.

1242
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:18,040
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I hope he is able to stay healthy,

1243
01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:20,720
Speaker 1: he doesn't get dinged up and becomes lumbering Gronk again,

1244
01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:23,520
Speaker 1: because it was pretty cool to see him carving up

1245
01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:26,680
Speaker 1: um that secondary And also like man if Antonio Brown

1246
01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:29,120
Speaker 1: is going to be Antonio Brown again, if Gronk is

1247
01:03:29,160 --> 01:03:31,560
Speaker 1: going to be even close to that with Godwin and

1248
01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:35,280
Speaker 1: they didn't even need Mike Evans in Week one. By

1249
01:03:35,280 --> 01:03:38,600
Speaker 1: the way, Tom Brady is literally having another peak of

1250
01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:42,120
Speaker 1: his career. He is making more big time throws than

1251
01:03:42,160 --> 01:03:45,240
Speaker 1: he did you according to PF at any point in

1252
01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:48,120
Speaker 1: his career, and it doesn't surprise me. It kind of

1253
01:03:48,120 --> 01:03:50,080
Speaker 1: goes back to people who thought his arm was going

1254
01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:52,520
Speaker 1: to like his arm streak never went away, and him

1255
01:03:52,560 --> 01:03:55,520
Speaker 1: in this offense. He's taking more risk and he'll probably

1256
01:03:55,520 --> 01:03:58,520
Speaker 1: have more negative plays, but he is making more big

1257
01:03:58,560 --> 01:04:01,000
Speaker 1: time throws than he ever. You can't really look at

1258
01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:03,600
Speaker 1: his last eight or nine games and say he's anything

1259
01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:07,000
Speaker 1: but the best quarterback or maybe the second best quarterback

1260
01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:09,400
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Well, I think also, it's no stupid,

1261
01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:12,040
Speaker 1: it's no minor factor there. He's in an offense he

1262
01:04:12,080 --> 01:04:14,480
Speaker 1: feels super comfortable in now where a year ago. They

1263
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:16,720
Speaker 1: you know, even they were seven and five at one

1264
01:04:16,760 --> 01:04:19,760
Speaker 1: point there were growing pains. All right, let's keep moving here.

1265
01:04:19,920 --> 01:04:22,560
Speaker 1: Last pick of the draft. I have to grab a

1266
01:04:22,680 --> 01:04:28,160
Speaker 1: late game, so I will take Tennessee at Seattle. Not bad, Um, Tennessee,

1267
01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:32,000
Speaker 1: What do you make of that game? That was? You

1268
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:34,400
Speaker 1: know when you fire up the old game pass and

1269
01:04:34,480 --> 01:04:36,880
Speaker 1: you watch these games, and you knew it was gonna

1270
01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:38,600
Speaker 1: be bad, but then you watch it like, oh, that

1271
01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:40,479
Speaker 1: was even worse than I thought it was gonna be.

1272
01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:43,280
Speaker 1: Just their inability to get anything going, the fact that

1273
01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:47,160
Speaker 1: midway through the third quarter Derrick Henry had ten carries

1274
01:04:47,200 --> 01:04:51,000
Speaker 1: for nine yards um and they couldn't get it first

1275
01:04:51,040 --> 01:04:53,040
Speaker 1: down until it was almost halftime. The fact that it

1276
01:04:53,040 --> 01:04:54,920
Speaker 1: was in their building. I mean, the a bomb was

1277
01:04:55,000 --> 01:04:57,200
Speaker 1: dropped in the middle Nashville. All right, now you gotta

1278
01:04:57,240 --> 01:04:59,520
Speaker 1: spin forward, you gotta get away from all that, and

1279
01:04:59,560 --> 01:05:02,920
Speaker 1: you get a Seattle defense, which we're still learning what

1280
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:05,400
Speaker 1: they're gonna be. Is this gonna be a capable unit?

1281
01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:07,440
Speaker 1: They certainly look that way against the Colts, but we

1282
01:05:07,480 --> 01:05:10,560
Speaker 1: know the Cults are work in progress. Um, but certainly

1283
01:05:10,560 --> 01:05:12,720
Speaker 1: a good start. It's in Seattle, So I think this

1284
01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:14,640
Speaker 1: is a tough spot for the Titans. But I also

1285
01:05:14,760 --> 01:05:18,160
Speaker 1: think even though Arthur Smith isn't there anymore, and I

1286
01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:19,880
Speaker 1: know that jury is kind of out in this room

1287
01:05:20,120 --> 01:05:23,280
Speaker 1: on Mike Vrabel and it's not just this room. Um.

1288
01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:25,520
Speaker 1: I got a feeling that that's one of those type

1289
01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:28,800
Speaker 1: of games that is probably from a coach standpoint, easier

1290
01:05:28,840 --> 01:05:31,920
Speaker 1: to rally the troops around, like everyone thinks you suck now.

1291
01:05:32,320 --> 01:05:34,120
Speaker 1: And now you're gonna go to Seattle and everyone's gonna

1292
01:05:34,160 --> 01:05:36,440
Speaker 1: pick the Seahawks and they have too many good players

1293
01:05:36,480 --> 01:05:38,840
Speaker 1: on that team and too much of a track record

1294
01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:41,200
Speaker 1: of success. I think for them to go and lay

1295
01:05:41,200 --> 01:05:43,320
Speaker 1: a second egg. I really like the Titans to go

1296
01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:46,040
Speaker 1: up there and win. I'm gonna pick the Titans to

1297
01:05:46,080 --> 01:05:50,919
Speaker 1: win this. I like the Titans to, uh to cover

1298
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:52,600
Speaker 1: those five and a half points. I don't know, are

1299
01:05:52,640 --> 01:05:54,600
Speaker 1: we allowed to say that or not? Who really knows,

1300
01:05:54,680 --> 01:05:57,400
Speaker 1: but you can look you can look at it, okay.

1301
01:05:57,640 --> 01:06:00,240
Speaker 1: I like the Titans to go out and keep bit

1302
01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:02,560
Speaker 1: closer than it's expected. It's a five and a half

1303
01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:05,520
Speaker 1: point spread. I think that's that's too big. I'm not

1304
01:06:05,600 --> 01:06:08,800
Speaker 1: used to Seahawks playing like these boring games. They're supposed

1305
01:06:08,840 --> 01:06:11,160
Speaker 1: to play the not normal games, these wild endings. That's

1306
01:06:11,160 --> 01:06:13,920
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll's m O. They do look a little more

1307
01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:17,720
Speaker 1: modern though. On offense they're doing tons of play action,

1308
01:06:17,760 --> 01:06:21,760
Speaker 1: which seems to fit Russell Wilson all the motions. Like Seahawks,

1309
01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:24,960
Speaker 1: Twitter will have nothing to complain about if if this

1310
01:06:25,200 --> 01:06:30,680
Speaker 1: Shane Waldron offense continues to look like this grave digger um.

1311
01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:34,440
Speaker 1: So obviously I'm confident that they're bouncing back. Am I crazy?

1312
01:06:34,560 --> 01:06:36,560
Speaker 1: Or do you? Are you worried about this game? I

1313
01:06:36,640 --> 01:06:40,040
Speaker 1: am a little worried about this game, But Mike Vrabel

1314
01:06:40,240 --> 01:06:43,920
Speaker 1: is actually seven and oh coming off a double digit

1315
01:06:43,960 --> 01:06:46,600
Speaker 1: point loss as they have there you go, I'm talking

1316
01:06:46,600 --> 01:06:49,760
Speaker 1: about lock it up? Well, I want to go that far.

1317
01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:53,919
Speaker 1: But do you now that was brothers have locked that's

1318
01:06:54,520 --> 01:06:57,760
Speaker 1: they've locked up the Seahawks. They're they're participating each week.

1319
01:06:57,880 --> 01:06:59,320
Speaker 1: I will get back to that in a second because

1320
01:06:59,360 --> 01:07:02,440
Speaker 1: we've got some there, but bury the ball game for

1321
01:07:02,480 --> 01:07:04,160
Speaker 1: the Titans. So you feel like they're going to be

1322
01:07:04,200 --> 01:07:06,800
Speaker 1: able to move on from this, I hope. So, so

1323
01:07:06,920 --> 01:07:09,920
Speaker 1: you don't sound confident, you're worried that game? You got spook?

1324
01:07:09,960 --> 01:07:13,480
Speaker 1: How could you be? I mean they're in Seattle. That's

1325
01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:15,720
Speaker 1: one of the toughest. Even in a good scenario, they

1326
01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:20,080
Speaker 1: take me, Ricky, the Titans pass rush all right, And yes,

1327
01:07:20,120 --> 01:07:23,760
Speaker 1: the Westling Brothers well, I won't say it was unanimous,

1328
01:07:23,760 --> 01:07:26,960
Speaker 1: but the Westling Brothers have locked up the Seahawks in

1329
01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:32,160
Speaker 1: this game. And let's hear from one of them. Phil, Hi,

1330
01:07:32,240 --> 01:07:35,680
Speaker 1: guys and Ricky, thanks for including the Westling Brothers and

1331
01:07:35,720 --> 01:07:38,520
Speaker 1: the Locks this year. I know Chris would be thrilled.

1332
01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:41,800
Speaker 1: Let's be clear about one thing. First. Last week's lock

1333
01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:44,440
Speaker 1: was Nick's lock and not the Brothers Lack. I do

1334
01:07:44,520 --> 01:07:47,720
Speaker 1: appreciate him setting this up there. This week we went

1335
01:07:47,760 --> 01:07:50,440
Speaker 1: with the Seahawks, they were the Titans. The reason for

1336
01:07:50,480 --> 01:07:53,479
Speaker 1: this is too fold. First, one of my brothers drink

1337
01:07:53,840 --> 01:07:56,520
Speaker 1: way too much orange kool aid over the weekend and

1338
01:07:56,640 --> 01:07:59,800
Speaker 1: was trying the lock up Bengals on the road against

1339
01:07:59,840 --> 01:08:02,800
Speaker 1: the Bears. I don't think this is a good idea

1340
01:08:02,840 --> 01:08:06,480
Speaker 1: at this point, and Chris would have none of it. Also,

1341
01:08:06,640 --> 01:08:09,600
Speaker 1: justin Field's place for the Bears, I like the way

1342
01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:12,840
Speaker 1: the Seahawks looked in Week one, wasn't too impressed with

1343
01:08:12,920 --> 01:08:17,240
Speaker 1: the Titans. So L O C K E T T

1344
01:08:18,280 --> 01:08:21,320
Speaker 1: lock it up, baby. One next thing I'd like to

1345
01:08:21,360 --> 01:08:24,120
Speaker 1: say is hi t Kisha and Link we miss you,

1346
01:08:24,640 --> 01:08:29,800
Speaker 1: you can't wait to see you. And new tradition of

1347
01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:31,680
Speaker 1: the show. We're gonna get the Westling brothers involved with

1348
01:08:31,720 --> 01:08:34,640
Speaker 1: those locks. There's heat there in fact, you know, I

1349
01:08:34,680 --> 01:08:36,200
Speaker 1: think I don't know if it was Nick or Phil

1350
01:08:36,360 --> 01:08:39,439
Speaker 1: sent me the thread of them going back and forth.

1351
01:08:39,960 --> 01:08:42,920
Speaker 1: And when the the idea that the Bengals could be

1352
01:08:43,400 --> 01:08:47,439
Speaker 1: locked up, um uh it was. It was stated that

1353
01:08:47,479 --> 01:08:49,160
Speaker 1: they thought that the tree that was planted at the

1354
01:08:49,160 --> 01:08:51,560
Speaker 1: farm could go up and flame. That would be it

1355
01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:53,760
Speaker 1: would be so ridiculous to do that. There'd be so

1356
01:08:53,840 --> 01:08:57,160
Speaker 1: much anger from the old Man and west together forever

1357
01:08:57,240 --> 01:08:59,439
Speaker 1: at the farm that the tree would go and flames.

1358
01:08:59,520 --> 01:09:03,360
Speaker 1: So I love this whole scenario. Nick. Nick is gonna

1359
01:09:03,400 --> 01:09:05,840
Speaker 1: come on when Nick comes on next, not only is

1360
01:09:05,840 --> 01:09:08,120
Speaker 1: he gonna be furious that Phil's voice has been on

1361
01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:10,840
Speaker 1: the show twice now without him getting on, He's gonna

1362
01:09:10,920 --> 01:09:13,519
Speaker 1: mock Phil's performance on the show. I am here for

1363
01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:15,360
Speaker 1: it all. Well, let's be real though, I mean, it's

1364
01:09:15,360 --> 01:09:17,360
Speaker 1: it's a very nice story that they're doing this, but

1365
01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:19,360
Speaker 1: they've got to they've got to deliver a win here,

1366
01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:22,479
Speaker 1: although if they wanted to start with west they would

1367
01:09:22,479 --> 01:09:26,400
Speaker 1: struggle in the Yeah, it was never his forte um.

1368
01:09:26,520 --> 01:09:30,120
Speaker 1: All right, thank you Westling brothers. And by the way, yeah,

1369
01:09:30,439 --> 01:09:34,080
Speaker 1: Nick didn't want to provide the voice this week because

1370
01:09:34,080 --> 01:09:35,800
Speaker 1: he doesn't stand by the lock. It's just it's a

1371
01:09:35,800 --> 01:09:39,559
Speaker 1: lot of fun what's going on behind the scenes. Brothers

1372
01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:42,240
Speaker 1: will be brothers. All right. Let's now, let's hit up

1373
01:09:42,280 --> 01:09:44,320
Speaker 1: the prime time games, and I'm gonna speed round the

1374
01:09:44,360 --> 01:09:46,519
Speaker 1: rest of the games this week because we've gotta get

1375
01:09:46,520 --> 01:09:49,680
Speaker 1: out of here. But let's start with Sunday night football,

1376
01:09:50,800 --> 01:09:55,200
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs at the Baltimore Ravens. Interesting game here,

1377
01:09:55,760 --> 01:09:59,479
Speaker 1: the Ravens. Tough situation. Not only do you do you

1378
01:09:59,560 --> 01:10:02,919
Speaker 1: find a way to lose that game? Mark in Vegas

1379
01:10:02,920 --> 01:10:04,920
Speaker 1: on Monday night and it was, you know, a weird game,

1380
01:10:04,920 --> 01:10:07,240
Speaker 1: as we talked about on our last podcast. Then you

1381
01:10:07,320 --> 01:10:09,840
Speaker 1: get on the plane and you're flying back to Baltimore,

1382
01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:14,160
Speaker 1: bulletmore murder Land, and you are saying to yourself, now,

1383
01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:17,200
Speaker 1: we got to get the Chiefs and primetime Patrick Mahomes.

1384
01:10:17,200 --> 01:10:19,559
Speaker 1: We're gonna beat Patrick Mahomes in primetime. They are in

1385
01:10:19,560 --> 01:10:22,280
Speaker 1: a very tough spot right now. I wonder if the Ravens,

1386
01:10:22,880 --> 01:10:26,120
Speaker 1: who probably just typically ignore the Cleveland Browns, can learn

1387
01:10:26,200 --> 01:10:28,200
Speaker 1: from something that the Browns did last week, which was

1388
01:10:28,240 --> 01:10:31,880
Speaker 1: their immense aggressiveness going for it over and over on

1389
01:10:32,439 --> 01:10:34,840
Speaker 1: fourth down. Um from the fifteen, they went for it

1390
01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:37,599
Speaker 1: on fourth and thirteen and converted. Uh. They went for

1391
01:10:37,680 --> 01:10:39,720
Speaker 1: it on fourth and one from the five on the

1392
01:10:39,760 --> 01:10:42,000
Speaker 1: next drive. And that is how you built a lead

1393
01:10:42,280 --> 01:10:44,559
Speaker 1: the Ravens team. And I understand you know all the

1394
01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:47,040
Speaker 1: injuries that are banged up that I watched on Monday night.

1395
01:10:47,479 --> 01:10:49,880
Speaker 1: I just like when you the Chiefs in scenario the

1396
01:10:49,960 --> 01:10:52,760
Speaker 1: Chiefs is, they're essentially a video game. And unless you

1397
01:10:52,760 --> 01:10:55,360
Speaker 1: can stop Travis Kelsey. We saw what happened last week.

1398
01:10:55,640 --> 01:10:58,120
Speaker 1: You know they're gonna score thirty something points. Do we

1399
01:10:58,200 --> 01:11:00,719
Speaker 1: trust this Ravens offense the way they're built right now

1400
01:11:01,080 --> 01:11:04,320
Speaker 1: to a build a lead where you put the Ravens

1401
01:11:04,320 --> 01:11:05,920
Speaker 1: are a much better team if they can get out

1402
01:11:05,960 --> 01:11:08,080
Speaker 1: in front of Kansas City and do what they want

1403
01:11:08,080 --> 01:11:09,439
Speaker 1: to do. I know they don't have all their backs,

1404
01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:11,760
Speaker 1: but they're gonna use four different running backs and try

1405
01:11:11,800 --> 01:11:14,200
Speaker 1: to control the ball and use Lamar or if they

1406
01:11:14,200 --> 01:11:16,880
Speaker 1: get stuck from behind. Do you trust them on any

1407
01:11:16,960 --> 01:11:20,240
Speaker 1: level air wise to hang around or come back in

1408
01:11:20,280 --> 01:11:21,720
Speaker 1: a game. I mean, I think they've got they are

1409
01:11:21,720 --> 01:11:24,200
Speaker 1: an aggressive coaching staff, But I just think that the

1410
01:11:24,240 --> 01:11:27,240
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs offer so many problems that there's really

1411
01:11:27,240 --> 01:11:29,600
Speaker 1: only two or three teams offensively in the league that

1412
01:11:29,680 --> 01:11:33,040
Speaker 1: can even come in with a chance to touch you. Well,

1413
01:11:33,160 --> 01:11:37,479
Speaker 1: the hits keep coming. There's a report on CBS that

1414
01:11:37,600 --> 01:11:41,080
Speaker 1: Ronnie Stanley, their left tackle, is unlikely to play this

1415
01:11:41,120 --> 01:11:44,559
Speaker 1: week and might be out multiple weeks. Don't totally shocking

1416
01:11:44,600 --> 01:11:47,599
Speaker 1: because he really struggled in that game. Bouk, Okay, there

1417
01:11:47,600 --> 01:11:50,200
Speaker 1: goes your left tackle. Oh by the way, um, you

1418
01:11:50,240 --> 01:11:52,400
Speaker 1: know one of your slot corners who was forced into action?

1419
01:11:52,479 --> 01:11:54,800
Speaker 1: What's his name? Westby? I I don't. I don't even

1420
01:11:54,840 --> 01:11:56,680
Speaker 1: know these guys. They're new guys. He played thirty three

1421
01:11:56,680 --> 01:11:59,559
Speaker 1: snaps last week. He had a pectoral injury. He's gonna

1422
01:11:59,600 --> 01:12:03,360
Speaker 1: be out for this game. At the Chiefs are the

1423
01:12:03,439 --> 01:12:06,320
Speaker 1: easy pick, you know, they They are three and a

1424
01:12:06,320 --> 01:12:08,639
Speaker 1: half points in this game. And this is the game

1425
01:12:08,680 --> 01:12:12,320
Speaker 1: that that most of America agrees on more than anyone,

1426
01:12:12,360 --> 01:12:15,000
Speaker 1: which is always a concern. And so you're thinking, Okay,

1427
01:12:15,120 --> 01:12:17,639
Speaker 1: I think the Ravens at least they're gonna be proud,

1428
01:12:17,680 --> 01:12:19,360
Speaker 1: They're gonna show up. It kind of reminds me of

1429
01:12:19,439 --> 01:12:22,000
Speaker 1: late last season when everything looked like it was lost

1430
01:12:22,040 --> 01:12:24,800
Speaker 1: and they were so injured. Was when the Ravens played

1431
01:12:24,800 --> 01:12:27,960
Speaker 1: their best, but not it wouldn't make sense for them

1432
01:12:28,040 --> 01:12:31,200
Speaker 1: to be that competitive. They played eighties six players on

1433
01:12:31,280 --> 01:12:34,519
Speaker 1: defense last week before playing Kansas City on a on

1434
01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:38,080
Speaker 1: a short week, and that's the only way I see

1435
01:12:38,160 --> 01:12:41,280
Speaker 1: this not going going against the Chiefs if it's one

1436
01:12:41,280 --> 01:12:43,280
Speaker 1: of those things that, like sports, can actually figure these

1437
01:12:43,280 --> 01:12:44,880
Speaker 1: things out. Even though it makes all the sense of

1438
01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:47,280
Speaker 1: the world that the Chiefs are catching the Ravens at

1439
01:12:47,280 --> 01:12:50,160
Speaker 1: the perfect time, maybe you know, in their building, they

1440
01:12:50,160 --> 01:12:51,840
Speaker 1: put up a good fight, and I think they can.

1441
01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:54,920
Speaker 1: I just I'm just sticking with the idea that my

1442
01:12:55,000 --> 01:12:57,559
Speaker 1: homes is just gonna shred everyone every week. Well, he's

1443
01:12:57,600 --> 01:13:01,160
Speaker 1: also owned the Ravens and Lamar Jackson has his worst

1444
01:13:01,240 --> 01:13:05,559
Speaker 1: numbers passing wise against the Chiefs of almost any team,

1445
01:13:05,600 --> 01:13:09,559
Speaker 1: So Spagnolo's kind of owned the Ravens. And oh, by

1446
01:13:09,600 --> 01:13:12,920
Speaker 1: the way, the Chiefs get back Frank Clark and Honey Badger,

1447
01:13:13,160 --> 01:13:16,200
Speaker 1: their two best defensive players are expected to be back

1448
01:13:16,240 --> 01:13:18,519
Speaker 1: on the field they missed Week one. Holmes is eight

1449
01:13:18,600 --> 01:13:21,439
Speaker 1: no against the a f C North with the three

1450
01:13:21,520 --> 01:13:25,040
Speaker 1: touchdown to interception ratio last week, two hundred and seventy

1451
01:13:25,080 --> 01:13:27,519
Speaker 1: three of his three d and thirty seven yards went

1452
01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:31,840
Speaker 1: to Kelsey and Hill. Cleveland spent five months trying to

1453
01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:34,360
Speaker 1: figure out a way to stop Kelsey and Hill and

1454
01:13:34,400 --> 01:13:37,400
Speaker 1: had no way to do it. Can't. How with Baltimore

1455
01:13:37,720 --> 01:13:40,000
Speaker 1: you can't. You can't. And we talked about the crazy

1456
01:13:40,080 --> 01:13:45,559
Speaker 1: numbers um that Mahomes's career wise in September. I mean,

1457
01:13:45,600 --> 01:13:48,040
Speaker 1: it's just we've never seen anything like it. So it's

1458
01:13:48,040 --> 01:13:50,559
Speaker 1: just this team is always gets out of the gates

1459
01:13:50,560 --> 01:13:52,599
Speaker 1: super fast, and the Ravens just to have their backup

1460
01:13:52,640 --> 01:13:55,400
Speaker 1: against well. I think the Ravens will be okay and

1461
01:13:55,439 --> 01:13:57,200
Speaker 1: they'll find their footing, but they might end up in

1462
01:13:57,200 --> 01:13:59,720
Speaker 1: a situation. And it's still very early and there's an

1463
01:13:59,720 --> 01:14:01,760
Speaker 1: extra game this year, But are they going to have

1464
01:14:01,840 --> 01:14:04,400
Speaker 1: to go on a run later in the year because

1465
01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:06,400
Speaker 1: they put themselves in a hole? Because I think oh

1466
01:14:06,520 --> 01:14:09,599
Speaker 1: and two is where they did um all right. Monday

1467
01:14:09,720 --> 01:14:13,040
Speaker 1: Night football, Detroit Lions, that Green Bay Packers not a

1468
01:14:13,040 --> 01:14:17,240
Speaker 1: great game kind of a bummer Monday night round. Yeah,

1469
01:14:17,280 --> 01:14:19,560
Speaker 1: I mean, let's let's just be quick on it um

1470
01:14:19,640 --> 01:14:23,760
Speaker 1: because I do, I really do. I mean, listen, you

1471
01:14:23,760 --> 01:14:26,519
Speaker 1: want to talk about bad timing the Lions, we could

1472
01:14:26,520 --> 01:14:28,320
Speaker 1: pat them on the back and and give him a

1473
01:14:28,320 --> 01:14:31,120
Speaker 1: lollipop for getting back in that game against the Niners.

1474
01:14:31,360 --> 01:14:33,160
Speaker 1: And we know there are all sorts of things behind

1475
01:14:33,160 --> 01:14:36,479
Speaker 1: that with Jason Rhett going out for San Francisco, which

1476
01:14:36,520 --> 01:14:38,200
Speaker 1: we don't I don't know if we really touched on

1477
01:14:38,760 --> 01:14:41,200
Speaker 1: um earlier, but that's a big deal for them. And

1478
01:14:41,240 --> 01:14:44,479
Speaker 1: then Detroit just got hot and garbage time. Now you've

1479
01:14:44,479 --> 01:14:48,240
Speaker 1: got green Bay coming off. They were humiliated in Week one.

1480
01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:52,880
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers was humiliated in Week one in prime time

1481
01:14:53,280 --> 01:14:55,519
Speaker 1: at Lambeau. They can't even put this game in ford Field.

1482
01:14:55,600 --> 01:14:57,640
Speaker 1: I hate when they do that in primetime games. I

1483
01:14:57,680 --> 01:14:59,880
Speaker 1: know it's a better vibe at Lamboat for a prime

1484
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:02,559
Speaker 1: time production, but at least give the other team a chance.

1485
01:15:02,920 --> 01:15:05,639
Speaker 1: To me, this is a sacrifice. Well, and also they

1486
01:15:05,680 --> 01:15:08,759
Speaker 1: lost Jeff Okuda, and I mean Jeff Acuda struggled last

1487
01:15:08,840 --> 01:15:10,840
Speaker 1: year as a rookie. It's not that he was a

1488
01:15:10,840 --> 01:15:13,720
Speaker 1: star cornerback. But they have so very little behind him.

1489
01:15:13,720 --> 01:15:15,960
Speaker 1: They signed Daryl Worley, a veteran. But I mean, you

1490
01:15:16,040 --> 01:15:17,920
Speaker 1: just look at if if Aaron Rodgers is going to

1491
01:15:18,000 --> 01:15:20,400
Speaker 1: get right, and if last week was an aberration and

1492
01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:23,320
Speaker 1: something of a ghost affair, that maybe, uh, you know,

1493
01:15:23,400 --> 01:15:25,799
Speaker 1: you couldn't find a better matchup in the league secondary

1494
01:15:25,800 --> 01:15:28,680
Speaker 1: wise in this situation. I thought the Lions though last week,

1495
01:15:28,760 --> 01:15:31,439
Speaker 1: if anything, we're not boring. For the first time in

1496
01:15:31,439 --> 01:15:34,320
Speaker 1: my lifetime, they were frisky down the stretch. Jared Goff

1497
01:15:34,400 --> 01:15:36,840
Speaker 1: showed a little bit after a pretty ugly stretch. I mean,

1498
01:15:37,040 --> 01:15:40,240
Speaker 1: the one thing about Golf his interception totally unspooled that

1499
01:15:40,280 --> 01:15:42,479
Speaker 1: team early on, and he's gonna do that again. I

1500
01:15:42,479 --> 01:15:44,479
Speaker 1: don't like the matchup at all. If you take t J.

1501
01:15:44,560 --> 01:15:47,080
Speaker 1: Hawkinson out, who was phenomenal, and I think he's gonna

1502
01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:48,760
Speaker 1: have a huge year because he's sort of like the

1503
01:15:48,800 --> 01:15:50,960
Speaker 1: center of their offense outside of the run game. Well,

1504
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:54,519
Speaker 1: their their hope is that this Packers defense thinks, or

1505
01:15:54,560 --> 01:15:57,160
Speaker 1: the Packers stink, or the Packers have some bad ergy

1506
01:15:57,680 --> 01:15:59,920
Speaker 1: I have. I'm not putting much. I don't think there's

1507
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:02,760
Speaker 1: any chance the Packers offense is gonna stick. I think

1508
01:16:02,760 --> 01:16:05,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna be fine, and especially in this matchup for

1509
01:16:05,080 --> 01:16:07,519
Speaker 1: the reasons you just pointed about. How open were those

1510
01:16:07,520 --> 01:16:10,160
Speaker 1: forty Niners receivers. There was no one within fifteen yards

1511
01:16:10,160 --> 01:16:12,080
Speaker 1: of those guys. It's just they do not have a

1512
01:16:12,080 --> 01:16:14,320
Speaker 1: corner back room. So I'm not worried about Aaron Rodgers

1513
01:16:14,400 --> 01:16:17,519
Speaker 1: long term. I'm definitely not worried about this week. Uh.

1514
01:16:18,120 --> 01:16:21,120
Speaker 1: But the Packers had a little bit of h early

1515
01:16:21,320 --> 01:16:24,639
Speaker 1: season Cowboys defense vibes last year. It was just like, hey,

1516
01:16:24,680 --> 01:16:26,559
Speaker 1: do you got them? Do I got them? And it's

1517
01:16:26,560 --> 01:16:29,679
Speaker 1: just like wide open guys running through prairie lands because

1518
01:16:29,680 --> 01:16:32,880
Speaker 1: they're trying to get a little too complicated in their defensive.

1519
01:16:33,240 --> 01:16:35,120
Speaker 1: That would be the hope. Because there was a little

1520
01:16:35,160 --> 01:16:39,400
Speaker 1: bit of professionalism and aggressiveness in the lines offense. I'll

1521
01:16:39,400 --> 01:16:41,519
Speaker 1: give that, like he's going for four downs. They looked

1522
01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:44,360
Speaker 1: like an offense. They didn't look like terrible that maybe

1523
01:16:44,360 --> 01:16:47,360
Speaker 1: they could put up points. Alright, four more games, let's

1524
01:16:47,400 --> 01:16:51,000
Speaker 1: let's eight o'clock this. Oh no, yeah, let's do it.

1525
01:16:51,120 --> 01:16:55,559
Speaker 1: Disrespect Cincinnati Bengals at Chicago Bears. Mark, give me something

1526
01:16:55,560 --> 01:17:00,720
Speaker 1: you're looking for in this game. I'm looking for essentially

1527
01:17:01,240 --> 01:17:03,720
Speaker 1: completely off guard. I was doing something else entirely. I'm

1528
01:17:03,720 --> 01:17:06,960
Speaker 1: looking for justin fields to play. I just I want

1529
01:17:07,000 --> 01:17:09,000
Speaker 1: to see it. I don't like this. This whole scenario

1530
01:17:09,040 --> 01:17:12,320
Speaker 1: to me is tiresome and and I'm looking for that.

1531
01:17:12,360 --> 01:17:14,599
Speaker 1: And I'm looking for to see if Cincinnati is fun.

1532
01:17:14,680 --> 01:17:17,360
Speaker 1: They might be. I think they were very empressed. They

1533
01:17:17,439 --> 01:17:21,439
Speaker 1: changed last week play action, getting rid of the ball quickly.

1534
01:17:21,960 --> 01:17:23,920
Speaker 1: Totally different than a year ago. If anything, I think

1535
01:17:23,920 --> 01:17:25,800
Speaker 1: it was a little more boring, like run heavy, but

1536
01:17:25,840 --> 01:17:27,920
Speaker 1: it was they can run the ball again. They couldn't

1537
01:17:27,960 --> 01:17:30,360
Speaker 1: last Let's see if Joe Mexican stay healthy. But so far,

1538
01:17:30,600 --> 01:17:33,920
Speaker 1: so good. And I every year Week two when I

1539
01:17:33,960 --> 01:17:37,160
Speaker 1: go on NFL Now with Andrews Ciciliano, I have a standard.

1540
01:17:37,240 --> 01:17:41,040
Speaker 1: Hey Bengals fund now did it again on Tuesday. Hopefully

1541
01:17:41,040 --> 01:17:43,840
Speaker 1: it's sticks. Moving on in the Los Angeles Rams at

1542
01:17:43,880 --> 01:17:47,120
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts, this is a good game. Look at Mark

1543
01:17:47,200 --> 01:17:50,320
Speaker 1: just pumped us fist. Take two. Here we are in

1544
01:17:50,360 --> 01:17:53,720
Speaker 1: the Rams stadium slash office buildings, and I have a

1545
01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:57,200
Speaker 1: one goal. I just determined this is not the Rams

1546
01:17:57,240 --> 01:18:00,479
Speaker 1: office building, but well, I am determined to be friends

1547
01:18:00,479 --> 01:18:02,720
Speaker 1: with Matthew Stafford. On some level, I know that he's

1548
01:18:02,720 --> 01:18:07,599
Speaker 1: not here all the time. The wife of Leverkara Henderson Sneed,

1549
01:18:07,640 --> 01:18:10,160
Speaker 1: actually came at me on Twitter and said, you absolutely

1550
01:18:10,160 --> 01:18:12,640
Speaker 1: will not become friends with Matthew Stafford because you've not

1551
01:18:12,680 --> 01:18:14,680
Speaker 1: even picked our team to win the division. So this

1552
01:18:14,760 --> 01:18:16,479
Speaker 1: is a piece off bread and she doesn't even know

1553
01:18:16,560 --> 01:18:19,000
Speaker 1: the extent of your hatred. Well, I don't need you

1554
01:18:19,040 --> 01:18:21,559
Speaker 1: to verbalize, because this is this is a new day.

1555
01:18:21,680 --> 01:18:24,200
Speaker 1: I am part of this classic mark though. She came

1556
01:18:24,240 --> 01:18:27,120
Speaker 1: at him, and she and he he immediately I've learned.

1557
01:18:27,400 --> 01:18:32,519
Speaker 1: He's like I've learned, and I've changed. Terrible reporting, terrible reporting,

1558
01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:36,000
Speaker 1: terrible reporting. Go read the entire thread. I I did

1559
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:38,519
Speaker 1: not back down, and I'm telling you something. I'm locking

1560
01:18:38,600 --> 01:18:45,040
Speaker 1: up the Rams right here and that and you know what, um,

1561
01:18:45,160 --> 01:18:46,639
Speaker 1: I see it, and he's got a lot of stuff

1562
01:18:46,640 --> 01:18:48,240
Speaker 1: to work on. I did not like what I saw

1563
01:18:48,280 --> 01:18:49,720
Speaker 1: from the Cults, and I don't think they're dead in

1564
01:18:49,720 --> 01:18:51,640
Speaker 1: the water, but I think they got work to do

1565
01:18:51,680 --> 01:18:53,840
Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball. And the Rams, man,

1566
01:18:53,920 --> 01:18:57,200
Speaker 1: they look good. The Colts are like Rams. They've got

1567
01:18:57,240 --> 01:19:00,360
Speaker 1: like a quarterback that can't really do the entire offense,

1568
01:19:00,360 --> 01:19:03,639
Speaker 1: and it's condensed and not very exciting. The Las Vegas

1569
01:19:03,800 --> 01:19:06,479
Speaker 1: Raiders at Pittsburgh Steeler is good for Shookie. He's got

1570
01:19:06,520 --> 01:19:09,320
Speaker 1: some good games here. Greg, What do you think about this? Uh?

1571
01:19:09,320 --> 01:19:12,760
Speaker 1: Either I think I should have drafted this saying is

1572
01:19:12,760 --> 01:19:16,599
Speaker 1: what I think. I think Melvin Ingram is gonna make

1573
01:19:16,840 --> 01:19:19,760
Speaker 1: and has made already such a difference. Their pass rush

1574
01:19:20,120 --> 01:19:23,760
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh is somehow better this year. I think with him,

1575
01:19:23,840 --> 01:19:27,160
Speaker 1: Highsmith and Watt is probably the best trio in the

1576
01:19:27,280 --> 01:19:29,400
Speaker 1: entire league, and that could be a problem. The Raiders

1577
01:19:29,479 --> 01:19:33,280
Speaker 1: lost another offensive lineman good for the entire year. It's

1578
01:19:33,280 --> 01:19:38,479
Speaker 1: torn a c O brutal. Finally, Denver at Jacksonville. I

1579
01:19:38,520 --> 01:19:40,320
Speaker 1: wanted to lock this game up, but I thought you

1580
01:19:40,320 --> 01:19:43,400
Speaker 1: guys might give me some great It's a little I mean,

1581
01:19:43,439 --> 01:19:46,680
Speaker 1: it's a little early to just assume the Broncos are

1582
01:19:46,680 --> 01:19:48,880
Speaker 1: a jugg or not, even though I guess you guys

1583
01:19:48,920 --> 01:19:51,320
Speaker 1: believe that the other side. Though, no, this is about

1584
01:19:51,360 --> 01:19:53,720
Speaker 1: that other side. I didn't do it. In the end,

1585
01:19:54,120 --> 01:19:58,559
Speaker 1: um Vic Fangio runs a very similar defense, but better

1586
01:19:58,800 --> 01:20:03,040
Speaker 1: in the studio than Love it does in Houston, where

1587
01:20:03,040 --> 01:20:05,719
Speaker 1: they can just back up and mix coverages. Trevor Lawrence

1588
01:20:06,040 --> 01:20:07,599
Speaker 1: the one one. I do want to say one thing

1589
01:20:07,640 --> 01:20:10,720
Speaker 1: was just like every throw he made was either amazing

1590
01:20:11,000 --> 01:20:13,799
Speaker 1: or terrible, but there were a lot of amazing throws.

1591
01:20:13,880 --> 01:20:16,080
Speaker 1: Might be a Peyton Manning night, but you maybe shouldn't

1592
01:20:16,120 --> 01:20:18,040
Speaker 1: get lost in the mix. He was only hit or

1593
01:20:18,080 --> 01:20:19,800
Speaker 1: a sacked one time last week. It's going to be

1594
01:20:19,840 --> 01:20:23,559
Speaker 1: a different story here in Fongio. Last week, if I

1595
01:20:23,600 --> 01:20:26,479
Speaker 1: remember correctly went forward on fourth down three times, so

1596
01:20:26,520 --> 01:20:28,760
Speaker 1: it's a little bit more fourth than seven like on

1597
01:20:28,840 --> 01:20:30,639
Speaker 1: the first drive of the game. That's how you show

1598
01:20:30,720 --> 01:20:33,160
Speaker 1: Teddy two gloves. You believe in him. That's how you did.

1599
01:20:33,240 --> 01:20:34,920
Speaker 1: What a nice set up for Teddy two glows. By

1600
01:20:34,960 --> 01:20:36,920
Speaker 1: the way, that's what I was talking. You got Giants,

1601
01:20:38,120 --> 01:20:42,519
Speaker 1: you know, who are poop potentially, and then you got

1602
01:20:43,160 --> 01:20:45,360
Speaker 1: this team, the Jaguars, which might be the worst team

1603
01:20:45,360 --> 01:20:48,040
Speaker 1: in football. We'll see your number one receiver in Jerry

1604
01:20:48,120 --> 01:20:50,800
Speaker 1: Judy Cortland. Sutton doesn't look quite all the way back.

1605
01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:53,679
Speaker 1: You also lost a starting corner. But that's a nice start,

1606
01:20:54,000 --> 01:20:55,920
Speaker 1: and I did look. I looked at their schedule. It

1607
01:20:55,960 --> 01:21:00,799
Speaker 1: tightens up considerably, as it should um in the weeks ahead.

1608
01:21:00,840 --> 01:21:03,639
Speaker 1: But get off to two and our start. I love

1609
01:21:03,760 --> 01:21:07,760
Speaker 1: this wild card team of T H J O. We

1610
01:21:07,840 --> 01:21:11,280
Speaker 1: need like a song, you need to workshout that. I

1611
01:21:11,320 --> 01:21:13,200
Speaker 1: think you've gotten a song that that was a finished

1612
01:21:13,200 --> 01:21:16,439
Speaker 1: product there anybody, you know, those speed round teams don't

1613
01:21:16,439 --> 01:21:19,600
Speaker 1: get upset. It's it's just a product of So we

1614
01:21:19,640 --> 01:21:21,960
Speaker 1: can't stay here all day and there will be buys

1615
01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:26,280
Speaker 1: and you're everyone's gonna get their um proper conversation points

1616
01:21:26,320 --> 01:21:29,759
Speaker 1: come Sunday night, the flagship program when we recap each

1617
01:21:29,760 --> 01:21:32,160
Speaker 1: and every one of these games. No speed rounds there.

1618
01:21:32,360 --> 01:21:34,519
Speaker 1: We also might not go twenty minutes off the top,

1619
01:21:34,680 --> 01:21:37,280
Speaker 1: you know, talking about our anxieties, and I mean we

1620
01:21:37,400 --> 01:21:39,800
Speaker 1: normally we've done about this has been about an hour

1621
01:21:39,840 --> 01:21:41,720
Speaker 1: and forty minutes of work today. That's as much work

1622
01:21:41,720 --> 01:21:43,519
Speaker 1: as I need to do on any day, that's true.

1623
01:21:43,520 --> 01:21:45,120
Speaker 1: And how do you feel, Mark, now that we've been

1624
01:21:45,160 --> 01:21:49,120
Speaker 1: here for you know, a couple hours and it already

1625
01:21:49,160 --> 01:21:51,599
Speaker 1: feels like we're settling in. How do you feel it's

1626
01:21:51,600 --> 01:21:55,920
Speaker 1: growing on me? I have one issue that my front

1627
01:21:56,040 --> 01:22:00,679
Speaker 1: left highre um is essentially flat. It's in the garage,

1628
01:22:00,680 --> 01:22:02,840
Speaker 1: but my front left hire is sort of it looks

1629
01:22:02,920 --> 01:22:05,320
Speaker 1: dangerously at the A light came on and it is empty.

1630
01:22:05,400 --> 01:22:08,719
Speaker 1: So here No, I'll just be staying here until tomorrows
