Speaker 2: Mitchell.

29
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 3: I'm wearing black because it's a black day for the

30
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 3: San Francisco forty nine Ers and the Seattle Seahawks. Both

31
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 3: teams took an al. I took an al, but you

32
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 3: know what, there's hope, Richard.

33
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: I'm also wearing black in your honor. But I'm feeling

34
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: pretty good over here in Detroit, Michigan. But Richard, we

35
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: talked about it last week. We talked about it the

36
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: week before then, the week before then, and the week

37
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: before then. Any given Sunday that has always been the model.

38
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 1: Right in the NFL. Any team can win on any

39
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: given Sunday, And sure as shit, we saw it this Sunday,

40
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: your San Francisco forty nine Ers, took a loss. Your

41
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks took a loss. The Philadelphia Eagles took a loss.

42
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: You know who didn't take a loss. My hometown Detroit

43
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: Lions did not take a loss. But Richard, we've got

44
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: to start in Cleveland with your San Francisco forty nine ers.

45
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 1: I know you're gonna take heat tomorrow morning, so let's

46
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: just get it out of the way right now.

47
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 2: There's no heat. What the hell happened?

48
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 1: Man?

49
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 3: Come on, I'm very impressed with how they played. They

50
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 3: played a really good game. That defense is a legitimate contender.

51
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 3: That's a legitimate defense, a legitimate day. I mean, they're

52
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 3: all time with some of their stats right now, how

53
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 3: they've been playing all season, especially in compared to comparison

54
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 3: to the pretenders we played last week. You know, the

55
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 3: Dallas Cowboys were frauds. These were legitimate number one defense

56
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 3: and Miles Garrett is legitimate defensive Player of the Year candidate.

57
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 3: And that's disruptive. Jim Schwartz called a heck of a game.

58
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 3: It was a good learning lesson. Like I've said all year,

59
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 3: I mean, sometimes you need a wake up call. You

60
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 3: need a wake up call. You don't want to go

61
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 3: undefeated and get the wake up call in the playoffs,

62
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 3: because then you don't, I mean, it's too late and

63
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 3: it's over. This team is going to learn from this.

64
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 3: They were responded. They respond to adversity. Brian Perdy played

65
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 3: a very tough game. You know, had a lot of misfires.

66
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 3: It was a you know, it's raining muddy, he's dropping

67
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 3: the ball, ball slipping out of his hand, and when

68
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 3: the team needed it down the stretch, he completed passes,

69
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 3: he got the fall down the field and they missed

70
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 3: the kick. I'm sure Cayl Shanahan is feeling the same way.

71
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 3: I'm feeling very encouraged, very good. Uh, the injury bug

72
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 3: hit them. That's one thing that I'm sure he's concerned about.

73
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 3: CMC went out with the injury. Trent Williams walked out

74
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 3: a boot, So you do got to address those things.

75
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 3: Deebo Samuel had a shoulder injury that put him in

76
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 3: street clothes in the second half.

77
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 2: So those things are very concerning.

78
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 3: But you look up at the game and you see

79
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 3: a third and eleven that that's incomplete, and you know

80
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 3: they give him an unnecessary roughness call that looked like

81
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 3: a clean hit.

82
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 2: On the replay.

83
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 3: Initially it looked like a clean hit, but whatever, it's

84
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 3: the game of football. People make mistakes, they make bad

85
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 3: calls sometimes. But Diamador Leonor, before he went out with

86
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 3: a calf injury, was playing some really good football. He

87
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 3: slipped on one play to Amari Cooper. But again, it's

88
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 3: the same thing I said about the Dallas Cowboys. They

89
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 3: have a number one receiver on this team, and he

90
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 3: went up and made number one receiver type plays when

91
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 3: they needed to have him. He made great plays and

92
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:46,679
Speaker 3: you got to give him all the credit in the world.

93
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 3: Randy Gregory had a sack in his first game. Nicholas

94
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 3: john Bosa got a sack, So there are silver linings

95
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 3: all over the place.

96
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 2: But unfortunate lost. But kudos to Cleveland.

97
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 3: Their defense is legitimate and I'm sure San Francisco is

98
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 3: gonna make the necessary directions to get back.

99
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: Yet, well, they didn't lose to the Shaun Watson Richard.

100
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 2: They lost to p J. Walker.

101
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: And to your point, you touched on it last week,

102
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper is no joke and he made some big

103
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 1: time plays for Cleveland down the stretch through at the

104
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: middle of the game. You know he put life into

105
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: that offense. Like you said, it was raining, it was muddy.

106
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 1: The elements were certainly in play in this game. Cleveland's

107
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: got a hell of an offense and unfortunately the rookie

108
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: Jake Moody did not come through in the clutch, had

109
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 1: another missfield goal in this game. They spent a third

110
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: round pick on Jake Moody in this in this year's draft.

111
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is gonna be a test

112
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: for him because as you know, Richard kickers, it's all

113
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,239
Speaker 1: mental and how he recovers from this, it's it's gonna

114
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: be telling.

115
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure.

116
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 3: I'm sure Robbie gold is sitting somewhere making sure that

117
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 3: he's keeping his leg love, because they're not going to

118
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 3: stand for that in the playoffs. If he continues to

119
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 3: perform like this, he missed two field goals in a game,

120
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 3: they will call somebody else up that that is more

121
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 3: reliable and that can get the job done. And you know,

122
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 3: maybe he doesn't have the leg to get it from

123
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 3: fifty seven, but within inside of fifty he was almost automatic.

124
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 3: And he's still I think it was nineteen or twenty

125
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 3: for twenty in the playoffs and didn't miss So that's

126
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 3: one of those things you're you're kind of concerned about

127
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 3: because you know it's a two score game and they

128
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 3: missed two field goals. Cleveland missed the field goal, but

129
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 3: again brock Party took him down the field when they

130
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 3: needed it, gave him a chance a forty seven yard

131
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 3: field gold chip shot get it in. He missed it.

132
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 3: It is what it is, you know, give Cleveland a

133
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 3: credit they deserve.

134
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 2: PJ.

135
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 3: Tucker through two interceptions but did enough to get the win.

136
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 3: Kareem Hutt played good. Jerome Ford ran the ball really well.

137
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 3: Martin Amberson had had the interception, brock Party's first interception

138
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 3: of the season. Amari Cooper, we talked about it. Four

139
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 3: catch for one oh eight, some very dynamic plays, a

140
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 3: huge play on a long that might have been a

141
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 3: second down or a third loan, but huge play. Jump

142
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 3: ball got his feed in bounds, just acrobatic. Met another

143
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 3: play where he got down the field, made a guy miss.

144
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,679
Speaker 3: You know, he played a good game and they gotta

145
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 3: correct some things. For a limited time, Verizon customers can

Speaker 3: defense got kudos to that defense. Kudos to Clint Hurting,

159
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 3: that defense obviously, Witherspoon, Tarik wooland I mean Trey Brown.

160
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 3: Trey Brown with the interception on Jamar Chase. You know,

161
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 3: there was a lot of conversation before this game. They

162
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 3: played really well. They executed at a high level. Bobby

163
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 3: Wagner is looking like an All pro again. But you

164
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 3: need offense, you need some offense. They hold him to

165
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 3: seventeen points and this was an offense with Joe Burrow cooking.

166
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 3: You know, they held Joe Burrow under two hundred yards passing,

167
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 3: held Jamar Chase under one hundred yards. But they could

168
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 3: not score. They could not get points. They kept getting

169
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 3: to the red zone and throwing an interception. They got

170
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,719
Speaker 3: to find a way to protect Geno. That offensive line

171
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,719
Speaker 3: has been playing pretty good every week, weekend and week out,

172
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 3: and then this week it was bad.

173
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,239
Speaker 2: He got sacked four times. He threw two interceptions.

174
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 3: Tyler Lockett made a clutch play down a stretch, but

175
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 3: again they had a chance. They were first in goal

176
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 3: and they four chances. They couldn't get the ball on

177
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 3: the end zone. So they have to get those things corrected.

178
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 3: But shout out to their pass rush, the Seahawks pass rush.

179
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 3: Jared Ree just having the season of his life. Uh

180
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,079
Speaker 3: Bofe Mafey having a great year, leading the league in

181
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 3: pressure rates, got in a sack. Draymond Jones, they paid

182
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 3: him a lot of money, got in a sack. So

183
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 3: you can't blame the defense for this one. They're starting

184
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 3: to jail, they're starting to develop, they're starting to get there.

185
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 3: They need the offense to continue to file.

186
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: Well, Richard, you said it. I think Seattle was a

187
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: better team than this game. They had all the opportunity

188
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: in the world. They just could not convert in the

189
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 1: red zone. I mean this was deep into the red

190
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: zone too. I mean, they had opportunities. They could have

191
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: settled for Fiel goals. They elected to go for around

192
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: fourth down a couple times.

193
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 2: Richard.

194
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: Obviously, Monday morning quarterback, you're gonna you're gonna go play

195
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: this game back. But Richard, Seattle had an opportunity here.

196
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: They had an opportunity here to convince me that they

197
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: were one of the elites in this league. Their defense

198
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: is showing up, Like you said, that pass rush is

199
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: turning into something lethal, and it's coming. It's not just

200
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: coming from the front four. It's coming from the linebacking corps.

201
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 1: And that's what's surprising to me. And then, like you say,

202
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: you got these guys in the secondary, they got a

203
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: good young secondary and Witherspoon and Richard Sherman two point zero, right,

204
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: Tyreek Woolan, if you will, right. And then we see

205
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: it from the gritty vet, you know, picking them off

206
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: late in that game, Trey Brown, you know, giving life

207
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: to Seattle. I like Seattle going forward, rich but they

208
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: got to figure out these red zone woes. That being said,

209
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 1: let's flip through the Bengals because this was a Mutz

210
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: wing game for them too. You know, a lot of critique.

211
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: They start the season off one and three, everyone's counting

212
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: them out. Now they're three and three. I mean, the AFC,

213
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: it's not as dominant as I thought it would be.

214
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: I mean, it looks relatively wide open. The Chiefs look beatable,

215
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 1: The Bills look beatable. The Bengals, they get this right,

216
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: they might be right back where they were the last

217
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: couple of years.

218
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 2: Richard.

219
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: Are the Bengals back?

220
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 3: I don't know, Nettell, I don't know, because they should

221
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,839
Speaker 3: have lost this game. Joe Burrows did not play. Joe

222
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 3: Burrow did not play well. He did not get played

223
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 3: as well as he did the week before. And you know,

224
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 3: everybody's been harping that he's much healthy, he's getting better,

225
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 3: he's moving better, but he did not look great in

226
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 3: his game. The Seahawks just did not want to take

227
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 3: it over and win it. You talk about the Seahawks

228
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,719
Speaker 3: and how they played against your Detroit Lions. They were

229
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 3: passing the ball all over the yard, and that's a

230
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 3: really good team, and for some reason this week, it

231
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 3: just disappeared. If they scored and played like they did

232
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 3: that game, they win this game convincingly going away, Especially

233
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 3: the way this defense is playing. So it's just kind

234
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 3: of confusing and perplexing and vexing of sorts that their

235
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 3: offense shows up one week, the defense doesn't show up,

236
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 3: the defense shows up in a big way. Multiple weeks

237
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 3: that offense is disappearing. I need everybody to show up

238
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 3: to the party at the same time. And I think

239
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 3: this is a heck of a team, and they it's

240
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 3: still a long season and they got a lot of

241
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,439
Speaker 3: road ahead of them. They got the Arizona Cardinals next week.

242
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 3: They can definitely turn it around there. You know, they

243
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 3: seem to be they had a good little run of

244
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 3: playing good football, but they seem to be coming back

245
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 3: down to earth and starting to realize they're the Arizona

246
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,959
Speaker 3: Cardinals with a bottom five roster and they'll be picking

247
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:56,839
Speaker 3: the top five in this draft. He got one win

248
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 3: on the season. That's against those Dallas Cowboys we talked

249
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 3: about and beat them by twelve. So that loss is

250
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 3: looking worse and worse by the day. But hopefully Seattle

251
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 3: can turn it around. They could be four and two

252
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 3: going forward, and that's still you still feeling really good

253
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 3: about yourself.

254
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 1: Well, Richard, we touched on two teams that are inevitably

255
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: declining in your power ranks, right between the forty nine

256
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: ers and the Seattle Seahawks. Now, let's talk about a

257
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: team that is inevitably going to be rising through these

258
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 1: power ranks. My hometown Detroit Lions go on the road

259
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: into Tampa Bay, a hostile environment. They're wearing the Pewter Orange.

260
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,599
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a throwback game, rich This is

261
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: an old school NFC Central game, right. I mean, let's

262
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 1: not forget these teams played in the same division for

263
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: decades upon decades. This is what I grew up watching,

264
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: Barry Sanders giving your boy John Lynch, your former GM

265
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: the business on a daily basis, you know, Richard, Richard,

266
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 1: they go into Tampa, they get it done by two scores,

267
00:12:55,360 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: by two touchdowns, twenty to six. I'm gonna turn it

268
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: over for you because I'm excited, but I don't want

269
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: to drink the Honolulu Blue kool aid too much, Richard,

270
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 1: bring me back down to earth. Are the richer the

271
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions, legit? I should I'd like, really be feeling

272
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: this warm and fuzzy about this team right now?

273
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 3: Well, Mitchell, pheel as good as you want to feel,

274
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 3: because they are five and one, and they haven't been

275
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 3: five and one since Jesus was a baby, and so

276
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 3: you gotta feel good about it, Mitchell.

277
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 2: They're playing well.

278
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 3: Jared Golf is playing really good football, and he has

279
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 3: been a good quarterback throughout his career. If you can

280
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 3: keep him up right, yeah, you can keep him from

281
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 3: getting hit consistently. And that's what this offensive line is doing.

282
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 3: They're taking pride and protecting that man. He's moving the

283
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 3: ball well. He got a big time weapon back and

284
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 3: Jamison Williams, and he does one thing well and he

285
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 3: does it very well, and that's pushed the ball down

286
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 3: the field.

287
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 2: He threw him up a.

288
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 3: Very catchable football, but very tough transition and adjustment that

289
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 3: Jamison Williams made to make that catch and to get.

290
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 2: The ball down the field. That was very cool. Guy

291
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 2: the sun God, i'man ross Saint.

292
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 3: Brown is again looking like a Pro Bowl receiver, a

293
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 3: top ten receiver in this league, a true true number one.

294
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 3: He's playing like that when when his numbers called, when

295
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 3: the game is online, tough situations. He's bringing the book

296
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 3: the ball home. He's converting at high rate. And that

297
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 3: defense they held Baker Mayfield to no touchdowns, a interception

298
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 3: two hundred and six yards. Mike Evans, who's been having

299
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 3: a really good season, who's been a little banged up

300
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 3: with a hamstring injury, held him to four cats for

301
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 3: forty nine yards. Chris god Win held him under one

302
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 3: hundred yards. Those are two really good receivers that they

303
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 3: that they held in checked. They held him without a

304
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 3: touchdown in the game, I mean six points. You got

305
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 3: to give him all the credit in the world. Now

306
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 3: they're leading the NFC North, but I kind of feel

307
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 3: like I picked him to win the NFC North, Mitchell,

308
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 3: did I know?

309
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 2: So you did? Perhaps, But they they deserve all the

310
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 2: credit in the world.

311
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 3: They're playing well. Dan Campbell deserves a ton of credit.

312
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 3: Ben Johnson Offensive Coordinated deserves a ton of credit because

313
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 3: he's drawn up some really cool concept that other teams

314
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 3: are stealing because they are very effective.

315
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: You know who's stealing it, Richard, Your San Francisco forty

316
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: nine ers are stealing it the same week, no question,

317
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: let's not let's not forget that, Richard. You touched on

318
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: Jamison Williams and this was a huge storyline out of Detroit.

319
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: Here's a top number twelve overall pick a couple of

320
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: years ago that hasn't done anything coming off the ACL injury.

321
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: Last year, we give him that, but this year, you

322
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: get involved in the gambling incident, get suspended six games,

323
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: get it bumped down to four. He comes back last

324
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: week is really you know, not a part of that game.

325
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: And that the Detroit media is just beating this poor

326
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: kid up. I mean they want him out of town,

327
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: and Richard, I don't want to give up on him.

328
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: He was an absolute rock star at Alabama and you

329
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: see it today. I mean he had like you said,

330
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: he had a tough deep ball that he had adjust

331
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: to made a huge play. If they can get him rolling,

332
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: rich the sky's the limit for this offense. But you

333
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: already touched on it with this defense, and I never

334
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: thought that they would be part of this segment, rich

335
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: But our friends over at uber Eats, we've got a

336
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: segment with them every week. You know this that's almost

337
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: almost perfect defense where we highlight the NFL defense that

338
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: put on the week's most dominating performance of the week.

339
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: And this week, Richard, we're giving it to the Detroit

340
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: Lions defense. I didn't know that was possible. You already

341
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: touched on it this week that the Detroit Lions held

342
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: the Bucks with out a touchdown six points picked off

343
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: date Baker Mayfield made his life difficult back there and

344
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: made this game, you know, which was relatively low scoring

345
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: and close. They always gave it peace, peace of mind.

346
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: Tampa went two to twelve on third down, was held

347
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: to just two hundred and fifty one yards. Richard, Wow,

348
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: come on.

349
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 2: Now, Mitch, that's a pretty pretty good game.

350
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: Yes, sir, that's the almost almost perfect defense of the week.

351
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:59,720

357
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: Oh goodness, Richard, you're gonna have to have a go

358
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: I have a conversation with the NFL, because we talked

359
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: about it last week. I don't know why in the

360
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: world they keep putting these giants on primetime because.

361
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 2: Because they hate us, they hate us America.

362
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: I guess they want to drive the ratings down more

363
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: than anything, all Right, let's go across the pond if

364
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: you will. Lamar Jackson gets a dub against the Tennessee Titans.

365
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 1: I know it was early and your side of the world,

366
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 1: six thirty in the morning when this one kicked off.

367
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 1: Baltimore who the Detroit Lions have next week getting eight

368
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: point win? Richard, did anything stand out to you in

369
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 1: this game? Is Baltimore a team that you consider a contender?

370
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 3: I mean a lot of people consider them a contender.

371
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 3: I'm not on the boat yet. I don't consider them

372
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 3: an elite team yet.

373
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 2: They have an.

374
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 3: Elite talent in Lamar Jackson, a lot of question marks

375
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 3: at receivers. They Jones played played probably his best game

376
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 3: in the National Football League. Mark Andrews has been consistent

377
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 3: when consistently one of the best tight ends in the

378
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 3: National Football League. Jadeveon Clowney probably had one of his

379
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 3: best games as a pro with two sacks and a

380
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 3: lot of pressures. He looks very comfortable, but it just

381
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 3: looks urky jerky. They never looked like they were in

382
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 3: control of this game. Tennessee was actually in control for

383
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 3: a lot of this game, Whereyan Tannehill went out the

384
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 3: game early and then Malik Willis went four to five

385
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 3: for seventy four yards, but he did play as well

386
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 3: as his stats look, Derek Henry only had Derek he

387
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 3: Henry had twelve receptions for ninety seven yards in a touchdown.

388
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:37,959
Speaker 2: Is that right? That's pretty crazy.

389
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 3: Sean Murphy Bunching got an interception, but I just don't know.

390
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 3: I think this next game against the Detroit Lions will

391
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 3: show me a lot. If they beat the Detroit Lions,

392
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 3: I'll put them in that contender conversation because Detroit has

393
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 3: been running them up in the National Football League. They

394
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 3: have beat some really good teams. It's starting with the

395
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 3: Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs. Obviously they were without

396
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 3: Travis Kelce and Chris Jones, but at this in this league,

397
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 3: it doesn't People do not care, and they do not remember.

398
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 3: They only remember who won and who lost. Uh So

399
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 3: I want to I want to put them into conversation,

400
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 3: but until they show me consistency and beat an elite team.

401
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 3: They lost to Kenny Pickett in Pittsburgh Steelers last week,

402
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 3: so that's why I'm not really ready to put him

403
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 3: in there yet.

404
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: Mitch Well, Justin Tucker only kicked six field goals this game.

405
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,360
Speaker 1: That is that's something that we need to call out,

406
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, you go to London, you want

407
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: to watch these games and you see nothing but field goals. Richard,

408
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:38,360
Speaker 1: I'm I'm with you. I think Baltimore is kind of hovering,

409
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: you know, and I think this game next Sunday against

410
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,360
Speaker 1: the Lions is going to tell a lot for both squads.

411
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: Because if the Lions are able to go on the

412
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 1: road to Baltimore and get a win.

413
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 2: I've.

414
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: I will officially be ultimately shocked.

415
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 2: You know.

416
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: I will come on this podcast afterwards either in a

417
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 1: full suit or shirtless, because I will be so excited.

418
00:19:58,920 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 2: It's either going to be a business.

419
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna be so pumped up coming off a

420
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: bender for the day that either one, Richard, one of

421
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: the two. Let's talk about the Miami Dolphins.

422
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:14,640
Speaker 2: That's why I was yelling Mitchell.

423
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:19,439
Speaker 1: Because you know what this team right here is just

424
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: an absolute juggernaut offensively. You know, I know they're playing Carolina.

425
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: Carolina got up on them early and then Miami just

426
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 1: slaps forty two points on the board. When does it stop?

427
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 1: Because Miami looks unbeatable. I know they're at home I mean,

428
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 1: let's see what they do in the elements. Let's see

429
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 1: what they do, you know, late in the season when

430
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: they're up north playing in the playoffs in an open

431
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 1: air stadium. But right now, rich when they're playing an

432
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: eighty five degree heat and Sonny, they look unbeatable, at

433
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:54,439
Speaker 1: least offensively. Richard, let's talk about contenders.

434
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I expect.

435
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts about Miami.

436
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 3: I like the way Igi roy Everrow had the deep

437
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 3: Carolina defense playing early. They don't have the talent. They

438
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,919
Speaker 3: don't have enough talent right now to stand up against

439
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 3: a team in an offense like that they had. On offense,

440
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 3: the skill positions in quarterback are literally leading the league

441
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 3: in every category. The running back Raheem Moster, and this

442
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 3: is keeping a chain off of it. Raheem Moster leading

443
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 3: the league and rushing touchdowns, Tarreek Hill leading the league

444
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 3: and receiving touchdowns. Tua tongue Vai Loa is leading the

445
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 3: league in passing touchdowns. I mean, you can't do any

446
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 3: better than that, Mitchell. I mean, this is the best

447
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 3: offense that we've seen in a long time in the

448
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 3: National Football League. They they're they're moving the ball they're scoring,

449
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 3: they're putting points on the board, they're getting yards. But

450
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 3: you got to give Bryce Young in the Carolina Panthers

451
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 3: some credit. They put up a fight, They battled them.

452
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 3: They did not make this easy. If you're a Miami

453
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 3: Dolphins fan and you were in the first quarter, you

454
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 3: you probably sobered up from your from your you know

455
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 3: what you thought would be a very easy, walk, walk,

456
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 3: winnable game. And then they scored thirty five unanswered and

457
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 3: then you feel a lot more comfortable. But Adam Feeling

458
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 3: is having been a pretty good season to be the

459
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 3: only guy they have over there. He's making catches, he's

460
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 3: a quarterback safety net. They know the ball is going

461
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 3: to him and he's still being productive. To have played

462
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 3: a good game three touchdowns, no interceptions, twenty one to

463
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 3: thirty one for two sixty two.

464
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 2: Raheem another great game. What is it? Three?

465
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 3: Three touchdown game for Raheem moster two rushing, one receiving,

466
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 3: seventeen rushes for one hundred and fifteen to had a

467
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 3: crazy backflip interception before he got hurt. Looks like he's

468
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 3: having fun out there. Hopefully he's not going to miss

469
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 3: any extended amount of time. Because he's on his way

470
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 3: to have a record breaking season, and that record has

471
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 3: been there for a very long time.

472
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 2: Was that Meka Tron's record? Is that Mega Trons record?

473
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 2: It might be?

474
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 1: I mean, he's he's Raheem Moster is the revelation for

475
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: me right now. Rich I know you played with him

476
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,679
Speaker 1: for a few years in San Francisco, but did you

477
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 1: see this coming? I know he's fast, but dude, he's spinning,

478
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 1: he's jumping over guys. He's got eleven touchdowns. Twelve touchdowns

479
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: on the season. Now, I mean this is this is

480
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: a guy for all the fantasy football players out there

481
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 1: right now that is gonna win you guys a league. Richard,

482
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 1: I know you loved him as a teammate in Sam

483
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: Fran but did you see this coming when he moved

484
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: down to Miami.

485
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I actually did see it coming because he went

486
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 3: with Mike McDaniel. He went with Mike McDaniel and Mike

487
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 3: McDaniel and Raheem Moster had some really great games for

488
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,919
Speaker 3: the San Francisco forty nine ers. You know, his speed

489
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 3: kills in this wide zone, inside zone, mid zone offense,

490
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 3: and he's got a ton of it. People thought after

491
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 3: his injury, he would slow down. He didn't play a

492
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 3: ton of running back coming into the league. It was

493
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 3: a special teams guy, special team's ace majority of the time.

494
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 3: So he doesn't have the wear and tear that a

495
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 3: lot of backs have in year nine. So what you're

496
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 3: seeing is a guy that's probably still right in his

497
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 3: prime showing off, showing that he's gonna be a Pro

498
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 3: Bowler this year. If he keeps it up, you're gonna

499
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 3: have a hard time keeping him off the Pro Bowl

500
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,439
Speaker 3: in the All Pro list. And that's with great running

501
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 3: backs like Christian McCaffrey out there. This guy is leading

502
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 3: the league in touchdowns and rushing touchdowns. The yards are there,

503
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,919
Speaker 3: the receiving touchdowns are there. He's dynamic in multiple ways.

504
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:03,679
Speaker 3: They don't pay running backs, or else they would. They

505
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 3: would definitely be paying this game guy.

506
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: But I got and Richard lucky for Raheem Moster. Shout

507
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: out to Raheem. He is our making it look easy

508

516
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:45,479

Speaker 1: Raheem Mostert are Morgan and Morgan making it look easy.

518
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: Player of the Week, Shout out to your former teammate.

519
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Let's go to New York. We

520
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 1: saw Shaker and this week we started off this you

521
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: know this podcast with any given Sunday, and this certainly

522
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,199
Speaker 1: was any given Sunday. The Jets look different now. I

523
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: don't know if Zach Wilson has gotten more comfortable, or

524
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: if it's the defense, or if it's a combination of both.

525
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 1: But anytime you beat the Philadelphia Eagles, you know and

526
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: and a nail bier for the most part that they

527
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: were down to the wire with this game and the

528
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: Jets come out victorious. Richard, talk to me about the Jets.

529
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: Have they turned the corner? I mean, have they overcome

530
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: the emotions of losing Aaron Rodgers. Do you see this

531
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,120
Speaker 1: team competing for a playoffs spot down the stretch.

532
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they're They're a well coached team. In

533
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,719
Speaker 3: their battling, I don't think many teams could have got

534
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 3: off the matt losing the guy you traded for, the

535
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 3: you know, unquestioned leader of your team, one of the

536
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 3: best quarterbacks in the history of the National Football League.

537
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 3: The first week of the season, when you have the

538
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 3: all these expectations, a lot of tea people with mailing

539
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 3: in coaches included, and say, well, woe was me, you know,

540
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 3: feel sorry for himself.

541
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 2: Why does this got to happen to us? Oh? We

542
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 2: hated And you know what they did. They said, you

543
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 2: know what, strap it up.

544
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 3: We're gonna go out there, regardless to the circumstances, and

545
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 3: we're gonna put it on tape, especially this defense. We're

546
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,400
Speaker 3: gonna battle our tails off every week. And that's exactly

547
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,120
Speaker 3: what they did. They came in here against a team

548
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 3: that just went to the Super Bowl in the Philadelphia Eagles,

549
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 3: a well coached, well manned, talented football team, and they

550
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 3: held him down all the way throughout the game, and

551
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 3: they battled.

552
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 2: Them every test. They every test throughout the game. They passed.

553
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,360
Speaker 3: They kept passing tests, kept passing tests. And you got

554
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 3: to give Zack Wilson a lot of credit. He didn't

555
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 3: play a perfect game, but he didn't turn the ball over.

556
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 3: He didn't lose them the game. Nineteen for thirty three

557
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 3: for one eighty six. Solid game for Zach Wilson. Don't

558
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 3: turn the ball over. Zero turnovers is the big important thing.

559
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,959
Speaker 3: Priest Hall. Twelve rushers for thirty nine yards. Nothing special

560
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 3: with that touchdown, Rain's Big Rain Supreme. Garret Wilson one

561
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,439
Speaker 3: of the best games of his season. Eight catches for

562
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 3: ninety yards. You got to give them a lot of credit.

563
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,360
Speaker 3: But it was that defense. The Tony Allen interception late

564
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter, almost a pick six, is what

565
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 3: really determined the outcome of this game. Obviously Bryce Hall,

566
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 3: who was sobbing in for DJ Reid. They were without

567
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 3: both of their starting corners. They were without DJ Reid

568
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 3: and Sauce, and I didn't think it was possible for

569
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 3: them to stick around in this game without DJ Reid

570
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 3: in Sauce. But shout out to Bryce Hall, he played

571
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 3: an outstanding game. Along with the interception, Quinn Williams who

572
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 3: was all over the place all night, had another interception.

573
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 3: Four turnovers total. They forced a fumble on DeAndre Swift,

574
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,400
Speaker 3: who's a very short handed back, hadn't fumbled on the season.

575
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 3: He's playing as well as anybody, but they held him

576
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 3: for eighteen to eighteen yards.

577
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,880
Speaker 2: They held all their running backs combined for thirty three yards.

578
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 3: It was a really good game, even when Phillis defense

579
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 3: showed up in a big wave. Hassan Reddick played this

580
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 3: best game of the season. Two and a half sacks,

581
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 3: Josh we had a sack. They had five sacks as

582
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 3: a team. Didn't not did not lose confidence. The Jets

583
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 3: did not Salah salah when Quincy Williams made the game

584
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 3: saving tackle at the end, or you know you see

585
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 3: him doing his celebration with his players. The enthusiasm, the confidence,

586
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 3: the belief, in the faith that this man has in

587
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 3: his players, and how much effort. That's why they're playing

588
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 3: so hard for him, because they know this man is

589
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 3: fighting for them h and every day gonna watch film

590
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 3: and find out every single little nugget that he can

591
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 3: find to give them a best shot to win the game.

592
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,120
Speaker 2: And that's what they're doing. They're baffling.

593
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,120
Speaker 3: They're going into a bye to get a little healthier.

594
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 3: They're getting some encouragement. I don't know what Aaron's doing.

595
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 3: I don't know what he's doing because he's six weeks

596
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 3: out of surgery and he's out there playing cats, throwing

597
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 3: and pushing off the surgically repaired foot.

598
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 2: Row.

599
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 3: I don't know, Mitchell, I've never seen nothing like it.

600
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 3: Six weeks after surgery, I was still I was still

601
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 3: on a scooter. I was saying, I'm not talking to

602
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 3: Scooter Braun like I was not throw playing catch or anything.

603
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 3: So it's definitely encouraging, and I'm sure his teammates are

604
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 3: seeing it and finding some encouragement. I don't know if

605
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 3: he's doing that on purpose, but man, he's giving those

606
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 3: guys hope, and they're giving the Jets fans a lot

607
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 3: of hope. J e ts Jets just just two wins

608
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 3: in a row heading into the buy.

609
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: That's huge, and it's all gas, no breaks with Robert Salad,

610
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: as you know, Richard, and this defense did just that

611
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: four turnovers. But a little bit on Zach Wilson. You

612
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: see this maturity in his game, and you touched on

613
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: it briefly ago, like no turnovers on his side. I

614
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: know we didn't have the yard and statistics weren't there,

615
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: but he was given his big time playmakers on the

616
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: outside those opportunities. You know, Garrett Wilson's going to making

617
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: some big plays. Eight catches, ninety yards. I mean, this

618
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: is something that we saw when we watching the Thursday

619
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: night game when Russell Wilson was not giving his wide

620
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: receivers any chances at all. I mean, that's the biggest

621
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: thing with these quarterbacks, Zach Wilson. Be conservative with your approach,

622
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: be a game manager, but give your big time playmakers

623
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 1: those opportunities to make big time plays. Garrett Wilson bailed

624
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: them out with some big time plays today, Richard. These

625
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: Jets going into the by, we'll see what happens. The Eagles,

626
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: on the other hand, next Sunday night, we finally get

627
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: a good primetime game against the Miami Dolphins. Could they

628
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: be going back to back losses here?

629
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 3: They could easily be going back to back all losses

630
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 3: because of the injury bug. Again, these these big time contenders,

631
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 3: these heavyweight fights. They lost Lane Johnson, one of the

632
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 3: best tackles in the National Football League, and then you

633
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 3: saw the difference. Quinn Williams and Bryce Huff really really

634
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 3: started getting after the quarterback once. Once Lane Johnson went down,

635
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 3: you could see the difference between Lane Johnson being there

636
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 3: and Lane Johnson not being in there. There was a

637
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 3: lot more pressure. And then you saw the reaction from

638
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 3: Jalen Hurts, probably his worst game as a pro. Three

639
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 3: interceptions against his defense, and they weren't they weren't just gimmes.

640
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 3: These were earned interceptions. These guys are in the right

641
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 3: place at the right time, making big plays. And it

642
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 3: could have been a fourth. It could have been a

643
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 3: fourth if Jay white Jay Whitehead had held on to

644
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 3: that one at the end, it could have been four

645
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 3: interception day for him. So they got to go back

646
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 3: to the drawing board there. They got to find a

647
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 3: way to protect him. They got to find a way

648
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 3: to protect the ball. But great for the Jets, Great

649
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 3: for Robert Sala. Couldn't be happier for him going into

650
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 3: a bye. Get to rest, get to keep preparing. A

651
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 3: good stuff. And another one of our former coaches, too,

652
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 3: Ryans coaching in Houston, and people said they supposed to

653
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 3: be giving up on this season. They're not even supposed

654
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 3: to be trying, Mitchell. They didn't. They didn't get the

655
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 3: message because the Saints defense is really good. And I

656
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 3: mean he didn't play the perfect game, but CJ. Stroud,

657
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 3: young guy through two touchdowns, through for one hundred and

658
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 3: ninety nine yards thirteen to twenty seven, did enough to

659
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 3: win the the ball game. And his go to guy

660
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 3: right now is Nico Collins, and he showed up for him.

661
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 3: It's just great to see inspired. They're playing inspired football, Mitchell.

662
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 3: They're playing going out there and fighting for their coach

663
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 3: play in and play out. You talk about the talent

664
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 3: just parenting. Saint's got a really good roster. Derek Carr

665
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 3: threw for three to fifty three in a touchdown, but

666
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 3: that interception was crucial. The stats kind of look bad

667
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 3: at at this point, Mitchell, because they are empty status

668
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 3: because they only threw, they only they only scored thirteen points.

669
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 2: Right.

670
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: Well, a lot of this game it was much like

671
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers game. I mean New Orleans. They

672
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 1: had a lot of trouble, a lot of kicking woes.

673
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 1: I mean their kicker missed a chip shot from eleven

674
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 1: yards out, you know, and then another one leading into

675
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 1: the half. This game could have been totally different but

676
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: for those miss field goals. But Richard, to your point,

677
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 1: this Houston Texan team is certainly the surprise of the

678
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 1: league right now.

679
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 2: CJ.

680
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: Stroud looks to me to be the most NFL ready

681
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 1: sure fire, you know, future, I don't want to say star,

682
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: but very reliable starter, you know, for Houston going forward.

683
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: I think they have a legitimate placeholder in place at

684
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 1: QB for the next five plus years, at least with CJ.

685
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 2: Stroud.

686
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: They really they were balls in that draft. You know,

687
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: they traded a future first and they moved up, they

688
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: got they got two top three picks, and they made moves.

689
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: C J. Stroud's doing his thing, and this wasn't his

690
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 1: most efficient game, you know, thirteen to twenty seven, one

691
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety nine yards. But to your point, he's

692
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: finding his favorite players, Nico Collins, Robert Woods. This team

693
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 1: might mess around and make a playoff spot, who knows,

694
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 1: and that would be certainly a huge story. I know,

695
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 1: the Miko Ryans has got to be happy being out

696
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: there in Houston. I certainly did not see this coming.

697
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: And they are another team that's going into buy with

698
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: a big win and the Saints got the Jaggs Thursday

699
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 1: Night Football. Rich, we finally get a big time game

700
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 1: for you to go to. This is gonna be fun.

701
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's gonna be a lot of fun. We haven't

702
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 3: talked about Jacksonville yet, but they're coming off a big win.

703
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 3: They're playing some really good football. They had to win

704
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 3: last week and beat the beat the Buffalo Beals. They're

705
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 3: playing some really good football. Trevor Lawrence is playing the

706
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 3: best in his career. I can't wait to watch that game.

707
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 3: We're gonna have a lot to talk about this Saints defense.

708
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 3: We were really high on him coming into the season,

709
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 3: and they played well throughout the year. But right now

710
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 3: there's a lot of concerns. You just lost to a

711
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 3: rookie quarterback. You look on the sideline, everybody said, the

712
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 3: clip that's going viral is Jameis Winston talking to Alvin Kamara,

713
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 3: and Alvin Kamara are like, I.

714
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 2: Know, I don't get it either. I don't know what's

715
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:27,439
Speaker 2: going on. I don't get it either.

716
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, kamoraw, I don't know what's going on with y'all either,

717
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 3: But y'all gotta get it fixed and we'll be there

718
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 3: to see if y'all get it fixed next.

719
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 2: Week on Thursday Night Football in the NOLA.

720
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 1: Yes, sir, or Richard, I don't know if there's a

721
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 1: hotter seat in football right now than in New England

722
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 1: at that head coaching position, Bill Belichick, Rigie, I know that.

723
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:54,760
Speaker 1: But if it weren't for his name, I'm sorry, whoever

724
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: was at that helm right now would be on the

725
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: hottest of hot seats. He The only reason he's not

726
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:03,320
Speaker 1: is because he's Bell Belichick, and he's that name alone

727
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 1: can buy him more time. But these New England Patriots, Richard,

728
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 1: they look like the worst team in football, and I

729
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 1: don't think it's really even relatively close. I know the

730
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers are winless, but I'm telling you there is

731
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 1: no way that Carolina loses. His New England team. Mac

732
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 1: Jones looks a little bit better two hundred yards, you know,

733
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 1: twenty four to thirty three at an interception. But the

734
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 1: identity for this New England Patriots seems is just non existent.

735
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:30,879
Speaker 1: The Raiders, you know, are five hundred now. They got

736
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,839
Speaker 1: a relatively easy schedule these next few games, minus playing

737
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 1: in my Detroit Lions. But Richard, let's start with New England.

738
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: Like your true thoughts about this franchise, the state of

739
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 1: the New England Patriot franchise right now.

740
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 2: They are awful's.

741
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 3: They are awful and usually you would give them that

742
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 3: they're well coached, that they're well coached. They do the

743
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 3: little things right. Usually in New England, regardless of where

744
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 3: the talent level is, you know they're going to do

745
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:00,360
Speaker 3: the little thing. They're going to put their guys and

746
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 3: positions to be successful. They're gonna play good defense, they're

747
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 3: gonna mix it up multiple they're gonna have a bunch

748
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 3: of nobody's that that play play well and play play

749
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 3: well in big games. They're gonna get J. C. Jackson back.

750
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 3: But you're not seeing that right now, Mitchell. You're seeing

751
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 3: a lot of talent. You're seeing a lack of execution.

752
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 3: At the end of this game, Max Crossby called games, Mitch.

753
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 3: They chipped him with a tight end and then blocked

754
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,359
Speaker 3: him with a tackle. I still think he got there

755
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 3: in less than three seconds. All right, that's bad ball, Mitchell,

756
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 3: And he was and Mac Jones was already sack by

757
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 3: the time he got there. So again, we talked about

758
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 3: this last week. We're gonna keep talking about this Bill

759
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:39,919
Speaker 3: Belichick is not gonna get fired.

760
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 2: He's not.

761
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 3: He's earned the right to go out on his own.

762
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 3: He'll he'll have to resign and say, hi, hey, I'm

763
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 3: done coaching. If he doesn't do that, he'll be the

764
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 3: coach of the New England Patriots going forward. Robert Craft

765
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 3: won't be the owner of that fires him.

766
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 2: I don't.

767
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 3: I don't imagine after everything he's done for the franchise

768
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 3: that'll that'll be more than Big Doon news, because no

769
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 3: coach is going coming in and fixing this like you.

770
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 3: You're not gonna just inject multiple levels of talent in here.

771
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 3: You guys look like you're gonna be picking top five.

772
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 3: So you got a chance at a quarterback? Do you

773
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 3: get rid of mec Jones and go for one of

774
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 3: the young quarterbacks in the draft?

775
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 2: Maybe?

776
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 3: Probably, but that's not gonna save you because you don't

777
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 3: you're receiving corek Kendrick Boren is having a pretty good

778
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 3: good year, but outside of him, there aren't a lot

779
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:21,320
Speaker 3: of things to feel good about.

780
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 2: On the receivers.

781
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:26,280
Speaker 3: You remind Stevenson is having a solid year, but again

782
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:29,360
Speaker 3: it's not great. It's just he's a guy. He's a

783
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 3: guy that's doing it and playing well for this team.

784
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 3: But you're losing game after game and you're about to

785
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,280
Speaker 3: go to the Buffalo Bills and likely be one and six.

786
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 3: I mean, like, like we've said, Bill Belichick's record without

787
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 3: Tom Brady is getting worse and worse and worse by

788
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 3: the day. They had They had twenty four home losses

789
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,919
Speaker 3: in seventeen or so years, seventeen some odd year maybe

790
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 3: eighteen some odd years with Tom bring twenty four Mitchell.

791
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 3: Since he's left, they've gotten twenty and this wasn't a

792
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 3: home loss. But that's just to tell you. And they,

793
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:06,959
Speaker 3: I mean, they don't even get to the red zone.

794
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 3: This is the first time they made it to the

795
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,280
Speaker 3: red zone since Week two. It's just terrible all around.

796
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 3: And you thought that bringing in bringing in a new

797
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 3: offensive coordinator would help Bill O'Brien, who's been a really

798
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 3: good coordinator in this league for a long time. You

799
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 3: thought bringing him in would would help and stabilize Mac

800
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 3: Jones and give him a shot. But it hasn't. It

801
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 3: really hasn't, and it hasn't materialized that way. And I mean,

802
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,240
Speaker 3: you got to start to again speak to Bill Belichick's legacy.

803
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,760
Speaker 3: Does he want to see his legacy keep getting diminished.

804
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,959
Speaker 3: He's now I think sixteen games under five hundred without

805
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 3: Tom Brady, and it's only gonna get worse if you

806
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 3: go in and have a two to fifteen season or

807
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 3: something like that.

808
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 2: What does that say about you?

809
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 1: This is an organization that's always been forward thinking. You know,

810
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 1: ahead of the game. They got rid of Logan Mankins early,

811
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 1: They got rid of Chandler Jones early. They tried to

812
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 1: trade Rob Grinkowski early. You know, at what point did

813
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: they look to the head coach and upper management and say, hey,

814
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,760
Speaker 1: maybe it's time to get rid of Bill Belichick early?

815
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:12,800
Speaker 2: Because I don't.

816
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 1: Know if there's anything I don't even know if having

817
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:19,359
Speaker 1: the first overall pick drafting a new quarterback, you know,

818
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 1: is going to change this organization's trajectory in the near

819
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 1: term future. Richard, this is demoralizing to watch. Shout out

820
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 1: to the Raiders forgetting to win. Wasn't really all that

821
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:33,720
Speaker 1: impressed with them. But you know, they get the Bears

822
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: next week. They get to continue this momentum forward. I

823
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 1: don't know what else to say.

824
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 3: But Richard, there's not a lot to say other than

825
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 3: they got to make a decision. They did not walk

826
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 3: away from Bill Belichick early, Mitchell, you can't say that

827
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 3: they're one and five, were about to be one and six,

828
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 3: and they could be looking at a two, three, maybe

829
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:56,439
Speaker 3: four win season and you and again, most people would

830
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 3: say it'd be crazy to fire him, because what are

831
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 3: you going to do. You're not setting the next person

832
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 3: up for success, You're setting them up for failure. So

833
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:04,479
Speaker 3: even if he says, hey, I resign after the next

834
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 3: after the season, who you gonna bring in to say

835
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 3: nobody's taking that job.

836
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:10,839
Speaker 2: Not not anybody with any kind of sense.

837
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 3: You're not taking that job and saying, man I can

838
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,800
Speaker 3: fix New England patrons, the Patriot wave. We don't pay anybody,

839
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 3: we don't do anything. Nobody wants to coach like that anymore.

840
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 3: Nobody wants to coach and be cheap and be hard

841
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 3: on their players and all that. All the coaches that

842
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 3: are having success now are doing it in the way

843
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:27,280
Speaker 3: they're playing music at practice. They're relating to their players,

844
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 3: they're listening to their players, they're coaching them, having fun

845
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 3: with them, being being personable, not just being Oh the

846
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 3: Bill bar parcels and Bill Belichick waves our way or

847
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 3: a hard way. I'm not going to speak at the media. Yes, no,

848
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 3: you're preparing for our next opponent. I mean, it all

849
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 3: sounds good when you're winning. It all works well when

850
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 3: you're winning. When you're not winning, Mitchell looks weird.

851
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:50,800
Speaker 2: That looks very weird, Richard.

852
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 1: This concludes our week, our weekly So.

853
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 3: First off, shout out to Jimmy G. You hope that

854
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 3: he's healthy, You hope that he makes it through. He

855
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 3: left the game in an ambulance with a back injury.

856
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 3: Praying for him, praying that he walks away from this.

857
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,760
Speaker 3: He's fine, It's nothing serious, but that was a serious incident.

858
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 3: He was replaced by Brian Hoyer, who played a solid game.

859
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,320
Speaker 3: But you never want to see a guy leaving an ambulance.

860
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Jimmy G's got to get his health and

861
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:19,840
Speaker 1: order here. You know, like I said, the Raiders have

862
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 1: an opportunity to continue this streak. And I know he's

863
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 1: a big time teammate of years, Richard, you have a

864
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,640
