Thanks for watching us 14 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:50,919 Speaker 1: on whatever platform. 15 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:51,639 Speaker 3: You're watching us. 16 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 1: On FS one, iHeartRadio and more so jaymck I went 17 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 1: and I burrowed into the stats this morning on the 18 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 1: Chicago Bears last year at this time to this year, 19 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 1: and I went to all of last year's Bears games, 20 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: and then I went to the five they played there, 21 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: three and two this morning, and it's amazing. They're a 22 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:15,759 Speaker 1: touchdown better exactly per game than last year. So remember 23 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: seven of the twelve losses for the Bears last year. 24 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,680 Speaker 1: We talked about this a lot in the offseason. Seven 25 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 1: of the twelve losses were one possession, So do you 26 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: think an additional touchdown? Last year they averaged eighteen point 27 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: two this year twenty five point two. So between the 28 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: organizational structure improvement, the play design, and the play calling, 29 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears have found their coach and he's worth 30 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: about a touchdown a game to Caleb Williams, a touchdown 31 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: in games a lot. I predicted before the season that 32 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel, his staff and the new free agents and 33 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: the draft picks would be worth about six and I 34 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: thought I was being, you know, a little optimistic. Seven 35 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: a game and much better first quarter team, tremendous energy. 36 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: Ben Johnson gets credit for that. They can win on 37 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 1: the road, they can win close. Caleb Williams was good enough. 38 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: He's never going to be sixty nine percent completion guy. 39 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: His ball placement is still mid, but he's gifted. He 40 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: makes all the throws. And what you have with Caleb 41 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 1: Williams is all this firepower, all this strength, all this 42 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 1: horse power, and Ben Johnson is just pushing it. 43 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 3: In the right direction. 44 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,639 Speaker 1: And Caleb is very amenable to all the coaching. That's 45 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 1: not always the case. Caleb deserves credit there. A great 46 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: head coach can't fix everything. But the Bears didn't need 47 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: to fix everything. They needed to upgrade their O line, 48 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: they spent money on it. They needed to stop turning 49 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: the ball over. They needed to, you know, score in 50 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: the first quarter. So and again, I look at the 51 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,799 Speaker 1: Bears today and I think they can go toe to 52 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: toe athletically and toe to toe physically, probably anybody in 53 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 1: the league not named the Chiefs. They can go to 54 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: totoe with coaching, to totoe with athletes, wide receiver, running back, 55 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: tight end. They got dudes. They got dudes. Roma Dunze, 56 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: DJ Moore, Luther Burden, Swift with a monster last night, 57 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: now right now today, Jayden Daniels is more refined and 58 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: the more accurate quarterback. But he made mistakes. They had 59 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 1: a pick, they had a couple fumbles. And sometimes in 60 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:31,079 Speaker 1: the NFL it's this simple win the turnover battle, like 61 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: the team that does wins like seventy percent in the league. 62 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: It was the Bears last night that were more buttoned up. 63 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: It was the Bears last night that didn't make critical mistakes. 64 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: Anybody in Chicago, any Bear fan, will tell you the mistakes. 65 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: Washington made last night. That's what the Bears have been 66 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: doing the last fifteen years. So sometimes improvement is just incremental, 67 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: step by step, head in the right direction. But with 68 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: Ben Johnson and an ascending quarterback, they are officially worth 69 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: a tight down more per game. And oh, by the way, 70 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: they can score first now, meaning they're playing often with 71 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: a lead. I mean, thirteen nothing, boom, we're leading on 72 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: the road. I don't even know how do you quantify 73 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: how important that is. So last year there were twenty 74 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 1: eighth in scoring. Now they're top ten, and I think 75 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 1: we all admit the operational stuff isn't one hundred percent 76 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: there yet, but it's close. It's not one hundred percent there, 77 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: but it's close. So I think between the money they 78 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: spent in the O line burden, I'd like to see 79 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 1: more Loveland. I'd like to see more of them. But 80 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: I think last night is what the Bear should look 81 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: like on most Sundays or Mondays, that's what they should 82 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: look like. 83 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 3: Explosive. 84 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 1: When your kid's gotten f's and d's, A B minus 85 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: feels pretty good. You're not gonna call the teacher, have 86 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: a parent teacher meet B minus. You'll settle for so 87 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: I think a lot of it. They're better statistically, reduction's better, 88 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: the look is better, the vibe is better. 89 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 3: The energy last night, I mean they were. 90 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: Coming out of their uniforms, they were flying all over 91 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 1: the field. 92 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 3: And here's Caleb on his coach. 93 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 4: He is a mastermind, and so being able to have 94 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 4: him sometimes he's on the headset and it's like, this 95 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 4: is a great play call right here, here we go. 96 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 4: And so he did that today and and and he 97 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,919 Speaker 4: says that to me, and so he has all belief 98 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 4: and confidence in himself. And then you know that those 99 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 4: little things actually provide confidence, you know when you're about 100 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 4: to go call the play. 101 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: I mean, if you're a Bears fan, you'll want in 102 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 1: the road again. 103 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 3: Can you say a winning streak? 104 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: And we'll talk about the schedule later, but I mean 105 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: you even took a reclamation project at Kicker. 106 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:53,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, I had one blocked. 107 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 5: Again. 108 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 1: This was a B B minus performance and and your 109 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: quarterback wasn't as accurate, but you took the lead, you 110 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: win the turnover battle, you were the cleaner team. You 111 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: didn't make the critical mistakes. Again, when you be getting d's, 112 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: a B to a B minus feels great. 113 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 3: If you're a Bear fan. 114 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: The other thing that's very encouraging is, I mean they 115 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 1: can play a lot better than this. I mean they 116 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: can absolutely play better than this. They were solid, they 117 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: were good, they were good enough to win. But there's 118 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:30,799 Speaker 1: a lot left here. We'll talk about their schedule coming up. Okay, now, trouble. 119 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: Remember when the Warriors, You remember this, The Warriors had 120 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: Mark Jackson a defensive coach, and everybody liked Mark Jackson. 121 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: But Steph Curry needed something else, and they went and 122 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:51,359 Speaker 1: hired Steve Kerr, and the rest is history. I know 123 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 1: Mark Jackson, I like Mark Jackson. I'd hire Mark Jackson 124 00:06:54,160 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: as a coach, but Steph Curry needed Steve Kerr. And 125 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,239 Speaker 1: I kind of feel like Sean mcdermot's the Mark Jackson. 126 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: When the last time you watched the Bills and went man, 127 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: they are super creative. I watch Andy Reid, I think 128 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: they're broken or at least stuck, and Andy Reid the 129 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: mcveigh's Sean Payton. They're like great engineers. They can tweak, 130 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: go under the hood, rebuild the offensive line quickly, play design, 131 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: play calling, nothing but clever. I kind of feel like 132 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: Josh Allen can feel it once again because they've paid him. 133 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: You got to cut back on the defense and Sean McDermott. 134 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: With average defensive personnel, they're bad against the run. They're 135 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: bad against the run. I think you have to make 136 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: a move at the trade deadline. How many years can 137 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: you waste? Burrows out again, Chargers beat up Lamar and 138 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: the Ravens are falling apart. This may be a moment 139 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: hard Balls. Teams are only getting better. Mike Vrabel got 140 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,679 Speaker 1: five six games with the Drake May. They've now officially 141 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: become first place New England Patriots. You think they're getting 142 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: worse or better, but I kind of feel like they're stuck, 143 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: and I think Josh Allen knows it, and I think 144 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: you can see the body language. The Bills have faced 145 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: the easiest schedule in the league so far, and their 146 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: four wins are against teams that are three and twenty one. 147 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: They were not better than New England. That was not 148 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: a shocker when you watched it. New England was better 149 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: and they're only getting better. I watched Atlanta last night. 150 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: They had Vjean Robinson and Drake London. Those are the 151 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: two big playmakers on the field. Atlanta was better. Pennix 152 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: by the way looks pretty good. So I don't think 153 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: this is oh, this is Surprice. I just think Buffalo 154 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,959 Speaker 1: they need to find playmakers, they need to add juice. 155 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 3: And I'm not sure McDermott's it. 156 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: And I think Josh Allen is a great kid and 157 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 1: wouldn't say it publicly, but when's the last time you 158 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: watched the Bills game like you do with the Chiefs 159 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 1: regularly or a McVeigh team and you went, whoa or 160 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan. 161 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 3: I don't see it. 162 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 1: And that doesn't mean McDermott's like a great supervisor, like 163 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 1: like a total pro, knows what he's doing. But you 164 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: better not waste these years. Burrow's going to be healthy eventually. 165 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: Baltimore is gonna, we think, be healthy er eventually. Hardvugh 166 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: and Sean Payton have young quarterbacks. They're not getting worse. 167 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 1: Rabel and Drake may going nowhere probably better than you. 168 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: Now Here's Sean McDermott. After the disappointing loss. 169 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 6: And we got to figure it out. We got to 170 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 6: dive deep into what we're doing, how we're doing it, 171 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 6: making sure we got the right people in the right positions, 172 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,079 Speaker 6: and then the execution at the end of the day. 173 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 6: So we gotta start from grounds here and work our 174 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 6: way back up. 175 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,839 Speaker 1: The Buffalo Bills do they make the Herd Hierarchy Top 176 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,559 Speaker 1: ten because I've watched them now back to back weekends 177 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 1: and I'm telling you New England's only getting better and 178 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 1: I'm watching b Jeon Robinson and Drake London. Michael Pennix, 179 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 1: Did you notice this last night, how comfortable he was? 180 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 1: You know who's never comfortable quarterbacks playing the Chiefs. You 181 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: watch the Chiefs and you watch the Bills over the 182 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: last forty eight hours. You think Buffalo can compete with that? 183 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 3: I do not so. J Mack. 184 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,199 Speaker 1: It was a wild night. The Mariners are now up 185 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: too old to the Jays the Dodgers in a crazy game. 186 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 1: What was your take on Chicago? 187 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,199 Speaker 7: Yeah, I thought Chicago looked kind of like a Detroit 188 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 7: Ben Johnson team, run first, DeAndre Swift going crazy and 189 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 7: it sets up the past. Caleb looked super comfortable in 190 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 7: the pocket. I was pretty stunned. I will just say, though, Colin, 191 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,679 Speaker 7: you know, if Jayden Daniels doesn't fumble the wet Bultroit, 192 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 7: you know we were here with a totally different take, right. 193 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 7: I mean, they had that game locked up. You were 194 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 7: looking good at a five and zero. You know, you 195 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 7: know what, Washington doesn't fumble? Yeah, but they did. 196 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: And by the way, we said this, so much of 197 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: winning in the NFL is playing the cleaner game, yeah, 198 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: which last year they did not. So right now, takeaways, giveaways. 199 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: Bears are at the top of the league, so so 200 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,079 Speaker 1: much of this stuff. I was talking about this yesterday 201 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: with a friend about he's a Denver Broncos fan, and 202 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,319 Speaker 1: I said, the Broncos do the best job in the 203 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: league at protecting their quarterback and sacking yours like that 204 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 1: is huge in the NFL. Our guy doesn't get hit. 205 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: Your quarterback gets hit all the time. There is something 206 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 1: to be said about we take it away and we 207 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 1: don't give it up. You can win twelve games on 208 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 1: that and then and that's if you had average personnel. 209 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,959 Speaker 1: The Bears do not have average personnel. Sweat is an 210 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: all pro. I mean their receiving corps, their tight end, 211 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: Core Swift. DeAndre Swift's an excellent running back. You're now 212 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: seeing that. 213 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 7: Yeah, let me ask you real quick though. So the 214 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 7: Bears wide receivers, they got three good ones. I think 215 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 7: Luther Burdon has some juice. 216 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 1: I mean, he didn't do much, played about nine targets 217 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:48,839 Speaker 1: a game. 218 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 5: That's funny. 219 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 7: Do you try to flip Dj Moore to a wide 220 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 7: receiver needy team like I don't know the Buffalo Bills, 221 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 7: whose receivers couldn't get any separation last night. I know 222 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 7: we like Dj Moore, but I think the Bears are 223 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 7: more of a next year team that could contend for 224 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 7: like the NFC Championship. I don't think they could this year. 225 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 7: Remember there are a couple of weeks removed from barely 226 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 7: beating the Raiders. Do you try to move Dj Moore 227 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 7: and get I don't know. Can you get a second out? 228 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 3: A fifth? 229 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 1: I don't know if you want to mess with the Bears. 230 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:16,959 Speaker 1: I don't think you want to get greedy. If I'm 231 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears, I'm three and two. I look at 232 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 1: that schedule. I'm not sure I want to stop the momentum. 233 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: When's the last time they start talking Bears winning streaks? 234 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 2: Yeah? 235 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: I mean, I just I don't want to mess with success. 236 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 1: I understand the point. If I was Buffalo, I would call. 237 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 1: I'd give me one old guy and a bunch of kids. 238 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:39,319 Speaker 1: Burdens Young Loveland's Young. I like what Chicago's doing. I 239 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 1: don't think I'd mess with it. I think they rebuilt 240 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: the old line in the offseas and the interior. That 241 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 1: is asking a lot. You couldn't tell the difference in 242 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 1: the first two weeks. Last night, you saw that money 243 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: getting spent that old line. Last night, those were gigantic 244 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 1: holes for DeAndre Swift. 245 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 3: That listen. 246 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:01,359 Speaker 1: Great offensive lineman costs money. It takes while to create cohesion. 247 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: You saw the Bears online last night. That was big 248 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: boy football. 249 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,559 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Herd weekdays 250 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 2: and Noone Eastern non a em Pacific on Fox Sports 251 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,959 Speaker 2: Radio FS one and the iHeartRadio app HI. 252 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 3: This is Jay. 253 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 8: I'm the producer of the Paul and Tony Fusco Show. 254 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,199 Speaker 8: Usually in these promos they asked you to listen to 255 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 8: the show. I'm here to ask you please don't listen 256 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,559 Speaker 8: to the show. The hosts are two absolute morons who 257 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 8: have the dumbest takes on sports, imagicable. Don't listen to 258 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 8: the show so it can get camps. 259 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 9: The hell are you doing our studio? 260 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 5: Get him?

What to do with the Buffalo Bills, 265 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,679 Speaker 1: the Rams and the Chargers. I think you'll be surprised 266 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: by our herd hierarchy. Nick Wright also forty minutes from now, Well, 267 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 1: there are no Dodger games without drawing. The screenwriters couldn't 268 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: do a better job. There's a little bit of an 269 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: Avengers feel to the Dodgers. If one of your superstars 270 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,439 Speaker 1: like Otawni doesn't deliver, Oh, here's Freddy Freeman. But last 271 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,679 Speaker 1: night was about Blake Snell, the off speed stuff. It 272 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 1: was all time stuff. He faced a minimum in eight innings, 273 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 1: twenty four batters. He had Milwaukee swinging at balls. He 274 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 1: had Milwaukee completely overwhelmed. The Brewers used six pitchers over 275 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 1: the course of the night, and it was it was 276 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 1: the Dodgers using one for eight innings and they weren't 277 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: even getting good contact. So and then Freddy Freeman, because 278 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: this is what Freddie Freeman does, He's going to be 279 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer. Great regular season guy, also done 280 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: it in the postseason, launches one again. Otani, Phillies playoffs. 281 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: Brewers is one for twenty and it doesn't matter. 282 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 3: Now. 283 00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: The Brewers swept the Dodgers this year in six games. Love, 284 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: but remember Blake Snell did not pitch against the Brewers 285 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: and he didn't pitch that much period. He had to 286 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: get healthy. And secondly, Mookie Betts until like September, you know, 287 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: didn't get hot. Mookie did not have a great year 288 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 1: by Mookie standards. So now Mookie's hot, Blake Snell's your ace. 289 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 1: Now the Dodgers bullpen, okay, this is predictable, goes in 290 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: with a two nothing lead, but Roki Suzaki just did 291 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: not have it, didn't have didn't have his best stuff. Uh, 292 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 1: kind of struggling to spot some off speed stuff. So 293 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: you know, they end up scoring a run. Dave Roberts 294 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: has to go to Blake Tryning. Dodger fans, that's not 295 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: their favorite, but Dave Roberts trusts him, you know. 296 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 3: So here you go. You get into a spot. 297 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 1: The Avengers Otani, no, Freeman, yes, Blake Snell yes, and 298 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 1: Trynan closes the door. But this was about Blake Snell. 299 00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: That was an all timer they hit. They said no 300 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 1: postseason pitching performance. You had to go back to, like 301 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: Don Larson, to what you saw last night, and Milwaukee 302 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: led the National League in hits, so doing that against 303 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 1: the Brewers is outstanding. Here's Dave Roberts on his performance. 304 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 10: This was as good as I can remember in the 305 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 10: postseason against a very you know, gritty team. Puts the 306 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 10: ball in play. The change up was the pitch of 307 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 10: the night. His command was great, and yeah, you're not 308 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 10: going to see too many performances like that, certainly in 309 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 10: the postseason. This was pretty special. 310 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know the bullpen, it looked like I 311 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: was thinking about this last night. If you're a reliever 312 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 1: and you're sitting there watching Blake for eight innings and 313 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: then you go in and potentially blow it, I mean, 314 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to take the same airplane home. It 315 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: was that kind of performance on the mound. Dodgers take 316 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: a one to zero lead in the series. And here's 317 00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: j mackl the news. 318 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 3: Turn on the news. 319 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 2: This is the Herdline News. 320 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,160 Speaker 7: All right, Colin, let's get started with the Thursday night 321 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,640 Speaker 7: football game Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. 322 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 5: And how about your guy Mike Tomlin. 323 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:15,880 Speaker 7: Here, he is not thrilled that the Browns, that sinking 324 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 7: ship traded Joe Flacco to a division rival. 325 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 5: Take a listen, it was shocking to me. 326 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 11: Andrew Berry must be a lot smarter than me or us, 327 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 11: because it doesn't make sense to me to trade a 328 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,880 Speaker 11: quarterback that you think enough of to make your open 329 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 11: the day starter to a division opponent that's hurting in 330 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 11: that area. 331 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 5: I'm gonna do within eight days showing up. It's a start. 332 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 2: Two names for a new team. 333 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 12: And if he speak to how how hard that is 334 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 12: or migg it's, you know, veteran hard for Joe Flacco. 335 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 7: Very rare that you get a coach taking shots at 336 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:56,199 Speaker 7: a division rival like that. 337 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,640 Speaker 5: But it seems like he's genuinely ticked off. 338 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 7: He's like afraid of Flacco in no fear facing Jake Browning. 339 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,119 Speaker 7: But Flacco, he knows the division. He's faced Tomlin for 340 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:06,120 Speaker 7: what a decade? 341 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,680 Speaker 3: Now, Yeah, I mean. 342 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 1: I appreciate Tomlin being honest. I yeah, I mean maybe 343 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,119 Speaker 1: that was the only taker. You know, they wanted to 344 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,439 Speaker 1: get Dylan Gabriel. Listen, we all know what the Browns 345 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 1: are doing. They want to have the number one pick, 346 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 1: and that's hard because there's this team called the New 347 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: York Jets that may beat them to it. So the 348 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:30,439 Speaker 1: bear the Browns actually look competent. The Browns are actually competitive. 349 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,879 Speaker 1: The Browns actually are well coached. The Jets are not. 350 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 1: They don't check any of those boxes. So I mean, 351 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 1: maybe that was the only taker. I mean, you don't 352 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:40,879 Speaker 1: know what happens on the phone, so I mean they 353 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,920 Speaker 1: probably would prefer to get him out. They don't want 354 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 1: him to come back and beat you. But you know Cincinnati, 355 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: you know the Brown family's not going to spend big money, 356 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 1: so you know, maybe they called and thought they could 357 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: get discount Joe. 358 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 7: It almost feels like Tomlin is calling out the Browns 359 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 7: for tanking. Hey you saw this guy, you thought enough 360 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 7: of him to make him your Week one starter, and 361 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 7: now you're trading him in the division. 362 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 2: That's honest. 363 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,359 Speaker 7: I mean, honestly, Tom Will makes sense. I can't recall 364 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 7: that ever happening. You naming your guy your Week one 365 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 7: starter and then trading him a month later in the division. 366 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 5: Like it is kind of crazy when you think about it. 367 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 7: I like Mike, Tom, I'll just leave it at that. 368 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,879 Speaker 7: I don't love the Steelers this week. I'm nervous about them. 369 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 7: Thursday against the Bengals. Colin, let's move on. 370 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 5: To the Philadelphia Eagles. 371 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 7: Boy, tough tough road here for the offense the last 372 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,719 Speaker 7: few weeks. Nick Sirianni, though says he has full faith 373 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 7: in first year offensive coordinator Kevin Petullo. 374 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 13: We're in the business of finding solutions. It was a 375 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:50,239 Speaker 13: little on everything, all right, And that's this game of 376 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 13: team football. I know that, you know, we live in 377 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 13: a world that it wants to assign blame, point the finger, 378 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 13: but that's not reality of what good teams do. That's 379 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,640 Speaker 13: not reality of this sport. And you got a lot 380 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 13: of confidence and Kevin and the offensive staff and love 381 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 13: some of the thoughts that we have. 382 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, I actually like them to bounce back this week 383 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: a little bit. I mean they're just uneven completely, but uh, 384 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 1: it's one of my one of the games this week. 385 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 1: I think Philadelphia will come back. The personnel is too good. 386 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 1: I think they Actually there is something to be said 387 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,200 Speaker 1: about playing on a Thursday, because you get that extra 388 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: three or. 389 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 3: Four days as a staff. 390 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 1: It's not the classic bye week, but it does give 391 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 1: you extra times to get off the treadmill and sort 392 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:45,640 Speaker 1: of examine and self scout and my takeaway is Philadelphia 393 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: this week will right the ship a little. 394 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,679 Speaker 7: Let me give you something before you fire on the Eagles. Okay, 395 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 7: I haven't seen this anywhere online. Colin So four teams 396 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 7: had to buy last week, they went four and zero 397 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,400 Speaker 7: against the spread, than all of them won after their 398 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 7: early buy. This weekend, they all of them wont. Minnesota 399 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 7: is coming off of bye so I know you like 400 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,920 Speaker 7: the Eagles get in time. Hey, is JJ McCarthy gonna play? 401 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 7: Is Kevin O'Connell going to throw in new wrinkles? 402 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:14,880 Speaker 5: Dangerous spot here? 403 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 2: Now? 404 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 7: Remember that offensive line for the Vikings has been beat up. 405 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 7: Let's see the injury report. I don't know about this game, 406 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 7: and I think you know sometimes the Philadelphia media has 407 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 7: this sky is falling narrative every day, Right, something's wrong, 408 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 7: AJ Brown offense thing, Siriano blah blah. 409 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:31,679 Speaker 5: It's always something in Philly. 410 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 7: Can we just chill out and let this first year 411 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 7: offensive coordinator work through his problems. 412 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: That's not what Philadelphia Sports radio does. 413 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,399 Speaker 3: It's a loud city. 414 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 7: Hey, you're not gonna give them any time. I mean 415 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 7: we're six, five or six games in for Philly. Well, 416 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,399 Speaker 7: and it's like, well, do we need to change play colors? 417 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,160 Speaker 7: What you want a Super Bowl? 418 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 1: I think Sean Payton showed up in Denver and immediately 419 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 1: you could see the difference. I think Seattle the Seahawks, 420 00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: you know, change coordinators. I think you can see good coordination. 421 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 1: I think Robert sla by week one with the Niners. Oh, 422 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 1: the defense even without hafun get green Law significantly better. 423 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 3: I think. 424 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,879 Speaker 1: I don't think it takes long to see excellent and 425 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: it doesn't take long to see mediocre. I mean Anthony 426 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: Richardson out, Daniel Jones starts first week, second week, you're like, oh, oh, 427 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: this is what compety and see at quarterback looks like. 428 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 3: So I now, no, no, we'll see Okay. 429 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 7: Final story, colin your Seattle Mariners, you're very excited about them. 430 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 7: They take a two nothing lead in the Alcs, whooping 431 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,640 Speaker 7: up on Toronto ten to three. Julio Rodriguez and Jorge 432 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 7: Polanco had three run homers. Josh Naylor added a two 433 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:45,360 Speaker 7: run shot. Polanco now the first player in MLB history 434 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 7: to have a go ahead hit in the fifth inning 435 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 7: or later in three postseason games in a row. 436 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 1: No go ahead, Get excited, Okay, So think about this. 437 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: The Yankees were humiliated in those two games in Toronto. Seattle, 438 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:04,919 Speaker 1: with the fifteenth biggest payroll, goes and humiliates Toronto, at 439 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: least in Game two. The Yankees could not compete. And 440 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: I said this, it's not that the Yankees don't have money, 441 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:14,159 Speaker 1: they don't spend it. 442 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 3: Well. 443 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 1: I've been saying this about the Mariners. The Mariners are 444 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 1: like the Brewers. They don't have a hole. They don't 445 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 1: have a ton of star power outside of cal Rawley. 446 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 1: But the Mariners have a very good starting staff and 447 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: Munno's the closer, and they can hit for power. 448 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,640 Speaker 3: They can do station to station baseball. 449 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,879 Speaker 1: They run pretty well, nice fielding team, don't commit a 450 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 1: lot of errors. The Mariners and the Brewers have spent 451 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,920 Speaker 1: their money well considering the money they have. The Dodgers 452 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: have a ton of money, but you can see it 453 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: when you watch them play. You can Ceasenow and you 454 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,360 Speaker 1: can see bets, and you can see Freeman Otani's struggling. 455 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 1: But you can see the money the Dodgers spend. Takeout 456 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 1: Aaron Judge. What are the Yankees? Don't run, the bases, 457 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,120 Speaker 1: don't field well, too many strikeouts, home run dependent don't 458 00:23:56,119 --> 00:24:01,159 Speaker 1: play small ball now. Garrett Cole coming back abstly changes things. 459 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 1: But when you watch what the Mariners are doing, and 460 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 1: this has never been a place free agents want to 461 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: go play because you have so many long road trips 462 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: up from the Pacific northwest out. So Seattle's just a 463 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 1: smartly constructed team showing that there are limitations to what 464 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,400 Speaker 1: money can do. You need some pop, you need a closer, 465 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 1: you need a top ten staff. You go win a 466 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 1: lot of games if you run the base as well, 467 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 1: keep errors to a minimum. And the Yankees got humiliated 468 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 1: in Canada. Mariner's up two oh going home. 469 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:32,920 Speaker 7: Thanks for reminding me about the Yanks. By the way, 470 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 7: why can't we just make fun of the Blue Jays 471 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,399 Speaker 7: for getting embarrassed by the Mariners. By the way, shout 472 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 7: out to Seattle for that aquaman whatever that tool is 473 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 7: that they. 474 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: Were carrying around news in that all year. 475 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 5: That thing looks so cool every time I see it, 476 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:46,959 Speaker 5: I love it. 477 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,920 Speaker 3: Jmac with the news, Well that's the news, and thanks 478 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 3: for stopping by the. 479 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 1: Herd Line News the Trident. So let's not get ahead 480 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: of ourselves. But the Bears are on a three game 481 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:06,120 Speaker 1: winning streak, don't go crazy. They weren't great last night. 482 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,920 Speaker 1: They were better than the team they played. But if 483 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 1: you go look at the schedule, it's hard not to 484 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 1: be optimistic. 485 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 3: They host the Saints. 486 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 1: Baltimore maybe with Lamar maybe not, Cincinnati Giants in Minnesota 487 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 1: airs a lot of second tier quarterbacks. Is it crazy 488 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 1: to think eight game winning streak or seven of eight? 489 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 1: And I said this, I was watching Ben Johnson last night, 490 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 1: and you know what he's really done. He's just eliminated 491 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 1: the ridiculous from the Bears. Last year, they lost a 492 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 1: game because the clock ran out, and they lost a 493 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,879 Speaker 1: game with a hail mary, and one of their players 494 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 1: was talking to fans and they lost a game. 495 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 3: With a block kick. They couldn't score in the first quarter. 496 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 1: Last year, the Bear scored twenty seven points in the 497 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 1: first quarter all season. They're at thirty seven of five 498 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:10,680 Speaker 1: games in That's what he's done. He's just eliminated the absurd, 499 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 1: the block kicks, the hail mary, running out of time. 500 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: They lost to Seattle six to three. So what I 501 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 1: watched last night the two things I watched, and it's 502 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:24,640 Speaker 1: just basic football. 503 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 3: Number One, they ran the ball. 504 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 1: Effectively, which as we all know, eats the clock, very 505 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,920 Speaker 1: valuable on the road. Keep Jayden Daniels on the side. 506 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,440 Speaker 1: If you run the ball, you keep the clock going, 507 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 1: you shorten the game. So Jaden Daniels can't get thirteen possessions. 508 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,719 Speaker 1: You'd rather have nine or ten. So that's a real thing. 509 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 1: They ran the ball. This is what they paid for 510 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 1: on the offensive line. It's not brain surgery. The Chicago 511 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:54,440 Speaker 1: Bears now run the ball. The second thing is, oh 512 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:59,639 Speaker 1: they didn't. They won the turnover battle again. He just 513 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 1: the absurd. They're tied for first in turnover margin. So 514 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,680 Speaker 1: if for no other reason you're like, yeah, Ben Johnson, 515 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: he runs the ball effectively. 516 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 3: Do you know how valuable that is? 517 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 1: When you're playing at Jordan Love or you're playing a 518 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 1: Jared Goff, or you're playing a Matt Stafford or a 519 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 1: Jayden Daniels or a deck you just don't want them 520 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,880 Speaker 1: getting thirteen possessions and having the ball. So you run 521 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 1: the ball. You don't turn it over, but you take 522 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:35,680 Speaker 1: it away. That's how simple it is, just basic foundational success. Also, 523 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:41,239 Speaker 1: they now score first occasionally hit field goals. I mean, 524 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,880 Speaker 1: just that's how you win close in this league, win 525 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,639 Speaker 1: the turnover battle, make sure when you are in the 526 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 1: red zone you at least get three, don't turn it over, 527 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 1: and run the football and keep it away from the 528 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:57,880 Speaker 1: other star quarterback. Here's Ben Johnson on now winning close games. 529 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 12: I think it says a lot about our locker room 530 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 12: right now, they're really they're not just believing, but now 531 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 12: they're starting to understand that, Man, if this thing's close 532 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,119 Speaker 12: in the fourth quarter, then someone's gonna step up and 533 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 12: make a play for us. And we had a number 534 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 12: of guys here in this fourth quarter that that did that. 535 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 11: And so. 536 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 12: I think these wins sometimes can go more a longer 537 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,200 Speaker 12: way for your program than those blowouts. 538 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 1: Do oh, I totally agree. And the other thing is, 539 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,199 Speaker 1: did you notice the energy? I mean, this is the 540 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 1: advantage of a young coach, a first time coach. Right 541 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: here here is the Bears had so much energy in 542 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 1: the first half. Over the course of time, you know, 543 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 1: you you use a lot of that energy. But here 544 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 1: was Ben Johnson in the locker room after the w watch. 545 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 2: Man, let me tell you something that was a team win. 546 00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 2: The best board of the game was this didn't go 547 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 2: up and out. 548 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 5: You never blinked, not for. 549 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 2: Second, not for one second. Nicest, steady, nice and call 550 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 2: the entire way through. 551 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 9: And you know what, whatever it took, whatever it took, 552 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 9: we found. 553 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 2: It quite little. 554 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 1: It's great and it just jumped through the TV. In 555 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 1: the first half. The home team look flat. The road 556 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: team had the Jews. 557 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Herd weekdays 558 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 2: and noon Eastern not a em Pacific. 559 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 7: Start your Saturday strong with Big Noon. Explosive duo Bryce 560 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 7: Underwood and Justice Haynes lead Michigan against Washington at the 561 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 7: Big House. It all starts at ten am Eastern with 562 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 7: Big noon kickoff live on location from Provo, Utah. 563 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 5: Then it's Washington Michigan. 564 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 1: Only on Fox Michigan. Good luck with those four pac 565 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 1: twelve schools interesting see UCLA hammer Michigan State this weekend. 566 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 1: CLA beat Penn State. We're all packed, twelve teams. I 567 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 1: don't know if they'll be able to handle the Big ten. 568 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 1: I just saw Michigan get pushed around for three and 569 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 1: a half hour Saturday night. 570 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 5: So he's saying, what are you saying here? Pack Twell 571 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 5: is not as soft as it used to be. 572 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 3: Those guys just oh the weather, please get a coat. 573 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 2: God. 574 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 1: So last night was crazy. I literally called two people 575 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:26,600 Speaker 1: on the staff. One of them didn't even call me back. 576 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 1: It was the fourth inning. There's one out, Dodgers have 577 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,959 Speaker 1: the bases loaded. Listen, if they get a hit here, 578 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 1: if they blow it open, it's over. Because nobody for 579 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 1: the Brewers even got contact on Blake SNeW Snell. Blake 580 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 1: Snell had a Don Larson like game. So the Dodgers 581 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 1: loaded up one out. 582 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 3: Baseball so weird. There's so much quirky stuff. 583 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 1: This play flummixed the announcers, the umpires, the Dodgers third 584 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 1: base coach. In something people acknowledged they'd never seen a 585 00:30:55,720 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 1: strange double play again. Bases loaded, fourth inning, one out, 586 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 1: Dodgers about to break this puppy open and take Game one. 587 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 1: And then this happened, and let'sy Sky's wont to center field? 588 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 12: Hit? 589 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 3: Well, this one's got a chance. Clelid Well back to 590 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 3: the world. 591 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 9: He leaves. 592 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 2: It's in and out. 593 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 9: His good to call it, and now chaos on the basis. 594 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,720 Speaker 9: Might have a play at the plate. The throw not 595 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 9: in time, No, he's out. 596 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 3: He's out. 597 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 9: It's a force play out the plate, and he is out. 598 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 3: He hits the wall off his glove and now it's 599 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 3: the force play at home, let's see, and the throw 600 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 3: beat him. Now, so you're gonna bases loaded in two outs, 601 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 3: three outs because concernis ran the third. He ran the 602 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,200 Speaker 3: third for another force or another force. 603 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, ta Oscar Hernandez had third. The third base coach 604 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 1: probably should have been in his ear. He tagged up, 605 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,840 Speaker 1: he went, he came back, and that was the difference. Uh, 606 00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 1: And you know, it was just a very confusing play. 607 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,840 Speaker 1: Will Smith at second base did not know what was 608 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 1: going on, and nobody did. The the umpires had to huddle. 609 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 1: And here was Dave Roberts after a situation. If they 610 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,800 Speaker 1: had lost last night, this would have been the lead topic. 611 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 3: Here's Dave Roberts. 612 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 10: Tayo knows the rule, I think right there. He just 613 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,520 Speaker 10: had a little bit of a brain fart, appreciating that 614 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 10: when it does hit the glove, it's going to you 615 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 10: can tag there. But then he tagged it correctly. Then saw, 616 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 10: you know, he didn't catch it and went back and 617 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 10: that was the mistake. But he owned it, and you know, 618 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 10: after that, there's nothing else you can do about it. 619 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 1: You know, It's funny. Dave Roberts in Los Angeles. It's 620 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 1: like a cottage industry to save Dave Roberts isn't the 621 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,719 Speaker 1: right fit, and they their bullpen was a mess all 622 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 1: year and it's actually been pretty good in the postseason. 623 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 1: So he solved that sometimes crazy stuff happens when umpires 624 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 1: are confused. I'm going to give a player a right 625 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 1: to be confused. It's like a couple of weeks ago 626 00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 1: when the Chiefs went to the NFL officials and the 627 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,520 Speaker 1: Jags and said no, no, no, no, no no, this touchdown 628 00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:06,360 Speaker 1: does count. You know, that's why we have replay. Stuff 629 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:10,920 Speaker 1: happens fast. But again, if you're a successful organization, I'm 630 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 1: going to give you a pass. This probably should have 631 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 1: blown the game open. Fourth inning, bases jam to one 632 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 1: out and a force at home. Okay, so here's something. 633 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 1: As I was watching the Bills last night and it 634 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 1: just felt like Atlanta's night. Michael Pennix had time, Drake 635 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,440 Speaker 1: London was getting open. What do you have ten catches? 636 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 1: Bjeon Robinson was probably the best football player on the 637 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 1: field not named Josh Allen. I think Michael Penix is 638 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 1: gonna work. He's got great weapons. But I'm watching Kansas 639 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:47,760 Speaker 1: City dismantle the Detroit Lions on Sunday and the last 640 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,480 Speaker 1: three games Kansas City, and they don't have Rashi Rice 641 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 1: yet their number one receiver. 642 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 3: He now his suspension's over, so. 643 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:58,479 Speaker 1: They've been doing it with Worthy in Hollywood Brown and 644 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 1: Jujus ms Schuster and at old Travis Kelcey. They're getting 645 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,440 Speaker 1: their number one back and they've been averaging thirty two 646 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 1: a game the last three weeks without him, and he 647 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,319 Speaker 1: had really become a dominant, number one volume receiver. That's 648 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,239 Speaker 1: not what Worthy is worth. These are two or three. 649 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:16,759 Speaker 1: So my takeaway is Kansas City. I think it's separated 650 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:21,839 Speaker 1: from Buffalo and Baltimore in terms of creative coaching, identity, 651 00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:25,959 Speaker 1: wide receiver, weapons, and defensive personnel. Ravens and the Bills 652 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 1: are bad defensively, so the part of this league what 653 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 1: matters so much is having an identity. So I think 654 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 1: Kansas City's offensive identity is they are twitchy, they are creative, 655 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,799 Speaker 1: and they are fast at wide receiver. I think they're 656 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:44,080 Speaker 1: versatile offensively. They can do a lot of things. Now 657 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,840 Speaker 1: Mahomes may lead them in rushing, but it works. And 658 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:50,239 Speaker 1: I think they're physical and aggressive on defense. So much 659 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,600 Speaker 1: of last night watching the Bills. 660 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:54,200 Speaker 3: Is what are they? 661 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:58,840 Speaker 1: What are the Buffalo Bills offensively other than a playmaker 662 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:03,360 Speaker 1: shy So, I mean I've said this before that the 663 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,200 Speaker 1: Bills kind of feel like they rely on one on 664 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:09,920 Speaker 1: one product. They're Crocs, you know, And and Kansas City's 665 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:15,520 Speaker 1: got an Apple desktop, laptop, iPhone, Apple TV Media has 666 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,640 Speaker 1: a lot of different ways Kansas City can beat you, 667 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:21,120 Speaker 1: and there's a real identity. Buffalo just feels like and 668 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:24,880 Speaker 1: I felt like this before. I didn't last year, but 669 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,840 Speaker 1: I do again now. Buffalo is all about Josh Allen. 670 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 1: That's what they're about. And so if he throws a 671 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 1: pick or he doesn't get protection. But when I when 672 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,960 Speaker 1: I think Rashi Rice is coming back to Kansas City, 673 00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,120 Speaker 1: they finally get a number one. 674 00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:40,560 Speaker 3: I don't know. 675 00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:44,000 Speaker 1: It feels like after watching that Detroit game, the Chiefs, 676 00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,120 Speaker 1: I know, nobody wants to hear it, have separated from 677 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:49,719 Speaker 1: everybody else, maybe not named Tampa. Here's Andy Reid on 678 00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:50,720 Speaker 1: getting Rice back. 679 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:55,440 Speaker 14: Rashi coming back in the back in the building period, 680 00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:59,600 Speaker 14: they kind of felt whole. And that's because they like 681 00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:01,520 Speaker 14: each other. I mean, they get along and they hang 682 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:06,080 Speaker 14: out together, they work together on their route combinations and 683 00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:11,360 Speaker 14: they're always talking about stuff to get better there, and 684 00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:16,000 Speaker 14: they've got a good friendship, which will be needed now 685 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:20,600 Speaker 14: because we've got more guys than we only have one football. 686 00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 3: So think about that. 687 00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,040 Speaker 1: A couple of weeks ago, you looked at Kansas City 688 00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 1: and you're like, who does Mahomes throw to Rice Worthy, 689 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:30,759 Speaker 1: Hollywood Brown, Jujus ms Schuster. They filled it out A one, 690 00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,760 Speaker 1: A two, a three, and a four. And Travis Kelcey, 691 00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:36,640 Speaker 1: who's generally good in big games, he was against Detroit. 692 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 1: So you know, it's just it feels very New England 693 00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,480 Speaker 1: Brady Belichick, where you got an elite coach, a star 694 00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:44,040 Speaker 1: quarterback and. 695 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:45,680 Speaker 3: You keep tweaking, tweaking, tweaking. 696 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,040 Speaker 1: The difference is Belichick in the last six seven years 697 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,759 Speaker 1: wanted to take over personnel and Andy Reid doesn't, so 698 00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:53,520 Speaker 1: he lets Brett Veach do it. And so, I mean, 699 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,400 Speaker 1: I just think it's interesting when you watch guys like 700 00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,840 Speaker 1: Hollywood Brown, who gets lost looks like a bust or 701 00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,680 Speaker 1: you take, I mean, so much of what Kansas City does. 702 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:06,480 Speaker 1: They go get Juju Smith Schuster again and he works 703 00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,880 Speaker 1: both times. Like you understand this, right, You watch players 704 00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,360 Speaker 1: leave the Jets and they actually are really good like 705 00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,359 Speaker 1: Sam Darnold or the coach Todd Bowles. And then you 706 00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:18,280 Speaker 1: see that's what really smart teams do in this sport. 707 00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,759 Speaker 1: They take away good players that are lost, that are 708 00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:28,160 Speaker 1: under coached, underproduced, right, and they bring them over and 709 00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,440 Speaker 1: they're all of a sudden, It's like Hollywood Brown is 710 00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:34,040 Speaker 1: something and Jujus Smith Schuster in Kansas City is something. 711 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:34,800 Speaker 3: Again. 712 00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,000 Speaker 1: He always felt like a disappointment in Pittsburgh. He feels 713 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:41,040 Speaker 1: perfect for the Chiefs, So j mcnobody wants to hear it. 714 00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:42,920 Speaker 1: As we get ready for Week seven in the NFL, 715 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:44,800 Speaker 1: we can put the schedule up. But I do feel 716 00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:48,960 Speaker 1: like in the Herd hierarchy, these are really long seasons. 717 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:49,520 Speaker 3: We've seen this. 718 00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,440 Speaker 1: I mean, the Patriots lost their opener to the Raiders, 719 00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:53,960 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you look up a month 720 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,279 Speaker 1: later and you're like, oh, New England's actually all those 721 00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,640 Speaker 1: new free agents in the draft class, they're really good. 722 00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:03,040 Speaker 1: So I always ask you to pick an upset, so. 723 00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,200 Speaker 7: Let me before the upset, and I do have an 724 00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:06,920 Speaker 7: upset pit for you. 725 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,920 Speaker 5: Jerry Rice. I'm sorry. Rashi Rice hasn't played a football 726 00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:11,200 Speaker 5: game in a year. Column. 727 00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:13,240 Speaker 7: I think he got hurt in like week four against 728 00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:16,040 Speaker 7: the Chargers the early in September, and all of a sudden, 729 00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,320 Speaker 7: he's gonna come back and just he's going to dominate 730 00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,680 Speaker 7: the league and eviscerate everyone. I think we need to 731 00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:22,480 Speaker 7: pump the brakes. If you put the Chiefs one in 732 00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,920 Speaker 7: the hurt hierarchy, we may just need to scrap the 733 00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:28,120 Speaker 7: segment going forward, because that's just absolute balder dash. 734 00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:30,040 Speaker 5: Okay, the Colts need to be number one. 735 00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:34,120 Speaker 7: Anyways, onto an upset this week, you're looking for an 736 00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:34,959 Speaker 7: outright dog. 737 00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:40,839 Speaker 1: Arizona at home against green Bay is interesting. Arizona at 738 00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:42,560 Speaker 1: home against green By and it'll be a lot of 739 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:44,480 Speaker 1: Packer fans at that game. It'll be a fifty to 740 00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,640 Speaker 1: fifty crowd. That's one of the ones I'm looking at. 741 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:48,440 Speaker 5: Who's starting. 742 00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,400 Speaker 7: I mean, is Kyler back or is it Jacobe Brissett. 743 00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,280 Speaker 1: I'll be honest, it doesn't matter. They were good with Brissette, 744 00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:58,560 Speaker 1: and I think listen, green Bay is one of these 745 00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:00,720 Speaker 1: young teams that are a six and a half point favorite. 746 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:03,640 Speaker 1: Green Bay's better, but a young green Bay team on 747 00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:07,319 Speaker 1: the road. Now, you've got to prepare practice wise for 748 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:10,759 Speaker 1: two quarterbacks. You don't know who you're preparing for I 749 00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,360 Speaker 1: think Arizona's got a shot. I would take Arizona in 750 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,520 Speaker 1: the points. Absolutely at six and a half. 751 00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:16,560 Speaker 5: I'll give you something. Growth. 752 00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:20,359 Speaker 7: This is worse than a dog with fleas. But Mike 753 00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,680 Speaker 7: Vrabel is going home to Tennessee. Everything's going to be 754 00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,000 Speaker 7: made about. The Patriots are dominant there in first place. 755 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:29,120 Speaker 7: Oh my gosh, here con Rabel and Drake May's the MVP. 756 00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:31,240 Speaker 5: The Titans will get. 757 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,399 Speaker 7: That coach bump right the hole in locker rooms invigorated, 758 00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:38,320 Speaker 7: whoever the interim guy is, whoever's calling the plays. I 759 00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,919 Speaker 7: would keep an eye on Tennessee. I'm on purpose. We're 760 00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,719 Speaker 7: alive in survivor. We're not taking the Patriots, even though 761 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:45,000 Speaker 7: there's a great spot to take them. 762 00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:46,919 Speaker 5: No way am I touching them. 763 00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:49,239 Speaker 7: I would not be surprised if Tennessee came out and 764 00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:50,840 Speaker 7: stunned the world and beat the Patriots. 765 00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:55,760 Speaker 1: My favorite bet right now is Detroit at home against Tampa. 766 00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:57,400 Speaker 3: That's my favorite bet on the board. 767 00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:01,880 Speaker 1: Lions, right yeah, Lions get okay, beat up big, but 768 00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:05,080 Speaker 1: you know, beat up on a big standalone game. This 769 00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,880 Speaker 1: is a very good roster. Tampa has been on a 770 00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:12,400 Speaker 1: crazy run. This this rainbow eventually you can't get a 771 00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:15,040 Speaker 1: pot of gold at the end of every rainbow. I 772 00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:19,440 Speaker 1: think this is and again Baker MVP, but he has 773 00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:25,960 Speaker 1: got turnover worthy plays. My take is Monday Detroit home 774 00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,640 Speaker 1: crowd watch out. 775 00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:29,439 Speaker 4: I like it. 776 00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:31,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, Detroit is my play of the week. 777 00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:34,719 Speaker 1: All right, we have our top ten, The Herd, Hierarchy 778 00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:37,600 Speaker 1: and Nick Wright on a Tuesday Hour two Now
