I mean, we left a lot 65 00:03:11,908 --> 00:03:13,308 Speaker 8: out there. We should have come away with points at 66 00:03:13,308 --> 00:03:16,108 Speaker 8: the end of the half and didn't. But uh, you know, 67 00:03:16,148 --> 00:03:17,348 Speaker 8: we got a lot of a lot of guys. You 68 00:03:17,428 --> 00:03:19,468 Speaker 8: can contribute. We spread it around to night. Zach called 69 00:03:19,468 --> 00:03:20,628 Speaker 8: a great game, put the ball. 70 00:03:20,428 --> 00:03:20,948 Speaker 6: In my hands. 71 00:03:20,948 --> 00:03:23,788 Speaker 8: We protected well and proud of the way we thought. 72 00:03:23,948 --> 00:03:24,788 Speaker 6: What was that play? 73 00:03:24,868 --> 00:03:27,228 Speaker 1: The walk off the card Cadero Hawks, Can you check me? 74 00:03:27,228 --> 00:03:30,068 Speaker 8: There's man coverage which is really not man coverage. Is 75 00:03:30,188 --> 00:03:32,388 Speaker 8: that that route is not a great route versus man covers. 76 00:03:32,468 --> 00:03:34,948 Speaker 8: But the corner didn't attach right away, so I decided 77 00:03:34,948 --> 00:03:36,348 Speaker 8: to be aggressive and driving in there. I thought it 78 00:03:36,348 --> 00:03:38,908 Speaker 8: was gonna be a bang bang catch tackle. Red pulled 79 00:03:38,948 --> 00:03:40,948 Speaker 8: out of it, Cadero pulled out of it, and then 80 00:03:40,988 --> 00:03:42,668 Speaker 8: that points man cover. He just he made the rest 81 00:03:42,668 --> 00:03:43,668 Speaker 8: half of a special player. 82 00:03:43,948 --> 00:03:46,188 Speaker 6: So you swag surfing after the game, there's been a lot. 83 00:03:46,388 --> 00:03:48,588 Speaker 6: I love the environment. I love the nest over here 84 00:03:48,588 --> 00:03:49,108 Speaker 6: of the crowd. 85 00:03:49,148 --> 00:03:51,588 Speaker 8: They're they're never down, They're bringing it no matter what 86 00:03:51,628 --> 00:03:54,148 Speaker 8: the score is. And I love that swag surf song 87 00:03:54,188 --> 00:03:55,908 Speaker 8: in the fourth quarter. It gets me going, it gets 88 00:03:55,908 --> 00:03:57,868 Speaker 8: our crowd going. I really enjoyed the environment here the. 89 00:03:57,868 --> 00:03:58,508 Speaker 6: Last few weeks. 90 00:04:01,028 --> 00:04:04,628 Speaker 2: You look at him, the smile of his face, and 91 00:04:04,708 --> 00:04:07,108 Speaker 2: that is what in the crowd there in Atlanta, and 92 00:04:07,148 --> 00:04:09,708 Speaker 2: that's exactly what they envisioned when they brought this guy 93 00:04:09,908 --> 00:04:10,468 Speaker 2: to Atlanta. 94 00:04:10,508 --> 00:04:11,348 Speaker 3: They thought this is what. 95 00:04:11,228 --> 00:04:13,348 Speaker 2: It was going to look like there, game of the 96 00:04:13,428 --> 00:04:16,308 Speaker 2: Year candidate guy. So far, of everything we've seen Week five. 97 00:04:16,068 --> 00:04:17,508 Speaker 3: This kicks it out. Is this the best game we 98 00:04:17,548 --> 00:04:18,108 Speaker 3: saw this year? 99 00:04:18,108 --> 00:04:20,908 Speaker 4: Steve Well, Yeah, especially the best finish. I mean, that's 100 00:04:20,948 --> 00:04:23,268 Speaker 4: one of the amazing things about what Kirk Cousins has done. 101 00:04:23,388 --> 00:04:26,548 Speaker 4: Remember we saw him do this a week ago against 102 00:04:26,588 --> 00:04:29,148 Speaker 4: the New Orleans Saints. And one of the reasons why 103 00:04:29,428 --> 00:04:32,188 Speaker 4: I thought it was so fantastic is the quarterback shootout. 104 00:04:32,348 --> 00:04:35,588 Speaker 4: From the beginning, the Falcons came out in a no huddle, 105 00:04:35,588 --> 00:04:39,308 Speaker 4: they got Kyle Pitts established, and by halftime, Kirk Cousins 106 00:04:39,508 --> 00:04:41,348 Speaker 4: had two hundred and fifty three passing yards. 107 00:04:41,348 --> 00:04:43,748 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield looked like the next coming. 108 00:04:43,988 --> 00:04:45,788 Speaker 4: The fact that these guys were hitting it like they 109 00:04:45,828 --> 00:04:48,508 Speaker 4: were these offenses we were waiting for the Falcons offense 110 00:04:48,548 --> 00:04:51,308 Speaker 4: to open up. It did, and then the second half 111 00:04:51,548 --> 00:04:54,108 Speaker 4: the adjustments. Remember Tampa Bay only scored six points in 112 00:04:54,148 --> 00:04:56,948 Speaker 4: the second half for hem. Morris and his staff figured 113 00:04:56,948 --> 00:04:59,348 Speaker 4: things out. But so many things at the end of 114 00:04:59,388 --> 00:05:00,988 Speaker 4: the game, from Baits punching. 115 00:05:00,628 --> 00:05:03,948 Speaker 1: Out that fumble to something that no one's really going 116 00:05:04,028 --> 00:05:04,668 Speaker 1: to talk about. 117 00:05:04,908 --> 00:05:08,228 Speaker 4: There was a holding call on the Buccaneers on their 118 00:05:08,308 --> 00:05:11,188 Speaker 4: final drive that stopped. 119 00:05:10,588 --> 00:05:14,188 Speaker 1: The clock and push them back ten yards. That forced 120 00:05:14,188 --> 00:05:15,148 Speaker 1: a punt. 121 00:05:15,068 --> 00:05:16,948 Speaker 4: That instead of the punter kicking it out of bounds 122 00:05:16,988 --> 00:05:19,468 Speaker 4: or cough and cornering it, it goes into the end zones. 123 00:05:19,508 --> 00:05:22,348 Speaker 4: So Kirk Cousins gets to start the twenty for that drive. 124 00:05:22,388 --> 00:05:26,388 Speaker 4: But mantime, to me, the play of everything is Kirk 125 00:05:26,388 --> 00:05:29,828 Speaker 4: Cousins on that now healthy Achilles, as we saw, clocking 126 00:05:29,908 --> 00:05:33,748 Speaker 4: it getting downfield. That is great coaching and practice. That 127 00:05:33,868 --> 00:05:36,988 Speaker 4: is rehearsing over and over. So in that circumstance you 128 00:05:36,988 --> 00:05:38,988 Speaker 4: can get down and clock it to give one second 129 00:05:39,188 --> 00:05:41,308 Speaker 4: for young Waiku to kick that field goal to send 130 00:05:41,308 --> 00:05:42,028 Speaker 4: it into overtime. 131 00:05:42,388 --> 00:05:42,948 Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah. 132 00:05:43,108 --> 00:05:47,028 Speaker 5: To Steve's point, understanding all of the components to what 133 00:05:47,188 --> 00:05:51,108 Speaker 5: happened in that last play to clock it, the details, 134 00:05:51,188 --> 00:05:54,148 Speaker 5: the amount of yards that you have to go in 135 00:05:54,268 --> 00:05:56,388 Speaker 5: order to catch the ball and get down. You can't 136 00:05:56,428 --> 00:05:58,588 Speaker 5: go a yard further if you do, that's too much 137 00:05:58,628 --> 00:06:01,908 Speaker 5: time on the clock for the receiver to get up 138 00:06:01,948 --> 00:06:04,308 Speaker 5: and drink Lendon to hand the ball to of the 139 00:06:04,668 --> 00:06:06,308 Speaker 5: You don't hand it to the center, handed the ball 140 00:06:06,348 --> 00:06:08,428 Speaker 5: to the ref so the reft can put the ball 141 00:06:08,508 --> 00:06:10,748 Speaker 5: down for Kirk to get up there and clock the ball, 142 00:06:11,148 --> 00:06:14,348 Speaker 5: there's one second left. Like everything was so perfectly timed. 143 00:06:14,548 --> 00:06:16,868 Speaker 5: And in order for you to get that kind of 144 00:06:16,908 --> 00:06:19,308 Speaker 5: detail where he Morris and his team has to be 145 00:06:19,308 --> 00:06:21,748 Speaker 5: able to go over this thing over and over again 146 00:06:21,828 --> 00:06:24,508 Speaker 5: in practice. What I wanted to highlight a little bit 147 00:06:24,628 --> 00:06:28,668 Speaker 5: was yesterday on GMFB, we talked about the connection between 148 00:06:28,668 --> 00:06:31,708 Speaker 5: Baker and Mike Evans and then also Drake and London, 149 00:06:31,828 --> 00:06:34,188 Speaker 5: and we I mean Drake London and Kirk Cousins, and 150 00:06:34,228 --> 00:06:37,228 Speaker 5: we were kind of debating on what's better. Both both 151 00:06:37,308 --> 00:06:39,748 Speaker 5: parties came out to play last night and we kind 152 00:06:39,748 --> 00:06:43,108 Speaker 5: of highlighted a little bit the Batman and Robin between 153 00:06:43,548 --> 00:06:45,948 Speaker 5: Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. Well, last night we just 154 00:06:45,988 --> 00:06:48,948 Speaker 5: found out that Atlanta has a little Batman and Robin 155 00:06:49,028 --> 00:06:51,748 Speaker 5: going on as well for themselves with Drake London and 156 00:06:51,828 --> 00:06:54,068 Speaker 5: Darnald Mooney. Donald Mooney, I played with him when we're 157 00:06:54,108 --> 00:06:58,428 Speaker 5: in Chicago. Donald Mooney had a game. Now, this guy 158 00:06:58,588 --> 00:07:00,428 Speaker 5: was all over the field. It seems like him and 159 00:07:00,788 --> 00:07:03,708 Speaker 5: Kirk Cousins had a little report kind of going on 160 00:07:03,708 --> 00:07:05,948 Speaker 5: on that side of the field, and I'm looking forward 161 00:07:05,948 --> 00:07:08,788 Speaker 5: to him on continuing to grow there. I also KB 162 00:07:08,948 --> 00:07:11,948 Speaker 5: saw that our boy Kyle Pitts came came alive a 163 00:07:11,988 --> 00:07:13,748 Speaker 5: little bit last night, and so it was. 164 00:07:13,948 --> 00:07:15,468 Speaker 6: It was one of those games you watch it. 165 00:07:15,468 --> 00:07:19,748 Speaker 5: It's a classic NFC self matchup and it was definitely 166 00:07:19,788 --> 00:07:22,228 Speaker 5: in my opinion, so for in a twenty twenty four season, 167 00:07:22,428 --> 00:07:23,388 Speaker 5: it was the game of the year. 168 00:07:24,948 --> 00:07:27,988 Speaker 7: Listen, Matt's I couldn't be more with you, one hundred 169 00:07:28,028 --> 00:07:30,868 Speaker 7: percent pure entertainment from start to finish. I know the 170 00:07:30,868 --> 00:07:33,228 Speaker 7: defensive purists didn't like it. I know you wanted more 171 00:07:33,308 --> 00:07:36,748 Speaker 7: tag that was so fun. And if you talked about 172 00:07:36,748 --> 00:07:39,388 Speaker 7: the game of the year, they're in the clubhouse having 173 00:07:39,468 --> 00:07:42,428 Speaker 7: Arnold Palmers right now. It's Cardero Hodge, it's Kirk Cousins, 174 00:07:42,588 --> 00:07:45,748 Speaker 7: Arhee Morris, it's Baker Mayfield. They are sitting around saying, 175 00:07:45,948 --> 00:07:48,188 Speaker 7: show me a better game than that in the whole 176 00:07:48,268 --> 00:07:50,668 Speaker 7: slate and this is only week five right now. I 177 00:07:50,708 --> 00:07:52,268 Speaker 7: loved it from start to finish. But I have a 178 00:07:52,348 --> 00:07:54,668 Speaker 7: visual aid to help if anyone didn't experience it. Do 179 00:07:54,708 --> 00:07:56,828 Speaker 7: you want to see what one hundred and eighty million 180 00:07:56,868 --> 00:07:59,228 Speaker 7: dollars looks like? Just bring it here is what one 181 00:07:59,348 --> 00:08:01,348 Speaker 7: hundred and eighty million dollars. 182 00:08:01,428 --> 00:08:03,788 Speaker 6: Look, Yo, that's Kirk. 183 00:08:04,428 --> 00:08:08,268 Speaker 7: That is the dude born in the eighties running around 184 00:08:08,308 --> 00:08:10,548 Speaker 7: on a repaired Achilles in front of a new fan 185 00:08:10,628 --> 00:08:13,908 Speaker 7: base that has no history with him, no attachment with him. 186 00:08:14,148 --> 00:08:17,508 Speaker 7: Teammates the same exact, same thing, and this guy just 187 00:08:17,548 --> 00:08:22,468 Speaker 7: threw for five hundred bleeping yards on Amazon, on National 188 00:08:22,508 --> 00:08:24,788 Speaker 7: whatever the hell we call it these days. An amazing, 189 00:08:24,868 --> 00:08:28,108 Speaker 7: amazing night for Kirk Cousins. I said it yesterday. The 190 00:08:28,308 --> 00:08:31,628 Speaker 7: stupid beaten to a pulp primetime Kirk Cousins sucks in 191 00:08:31,708 --> 00:08:35,348 Speaker 7: primetime storyline is dead. Now it is dead and buried. 192 00:08:35,348 --> 00:08:37,428 Speaker 7: We can't even get into it anymore. This was a 193 00:08:37,508 --> 00:08:39,628 Speaker 7: really huge win. This is the kind of win that 194 00:08:39,668 --> 00:08:41,788 Speaker 7: we like the entertainment value of it. But when we're 195 00:08:41,788 --> 00:08:43,948 Speaker 7: in December and we look back, but who's going to 196 00:08:43,988 --> 00:08:44,748 Speaker 7: win the South team? 197 00:08:45,028 --> 00:08:47,068 Speaker 6: Remember that crazy overtime game. 198 00:08:46,908 --> 00:08:49,428 Speaker 7: Back in the first week of October that the Falcons 199 00:08:49,428 --> 00:08:52,628 Speaker 7: got in overtime. That's the difference between a home playoff 200 00:08:52,668 --> 00:08:54,788 Speaker 7: game and not making the playoffs whatsoever. 201 00:08:54,948 --> 00:08:55,948 Speaker 6: It was history last night. 202 00:08:56,028 --> 00:08:58,748 Speaker 7: Guys, Is someone his age to throw that many yards 203 00:08:58,748 --> 00:09:02,188 Speaker 7: that well, it's guys like Drew Breesey's pass why a tittle, 204 00:09:02,268 --> 00:09:04,748 Speaker 7: Kurt Warner, and again, this is just the m up 205 00:09:04,788 --> 00:09:07,428 Speaker 7: for Atlanta. They should be on the way up. We 206 00:09:07,548 --> 00:09:12,068 Speaker 7: still haven't really gotten Beijon cooking yet. He will. All 207 00:09:12,148 --> 00:09:15,468 Speaker 7: these guys there with teammates, there with people they know. 208 00:09:15,628 --> 00:09:17,628 Speaker 7: Kirk Cousins is still a new kid on the block 209 00:09:18,148 --> 00:09:19,948 Speaker 7: and he probably listens to new kids on the buck. 210 00:09:19,988 --> 00:09:22,388 Speaker 7: It's just all fitting up guys. It is on the 211 00:09:22,428 --> 00:09:24,388 Speaker 7: way up. I still think the best is yet to 212 00:09:24,428 --> 00:09:27,108 Speaker 7: come for Atlanta. Tampa Bay's defense had a whole bunch 213 00:09:27,108 --> 00:09:29,668 Speaker 7: of issues, but I'm just thrilled that this is working 214 00:09:29,708 --> 00:09:32,748 Speaker 7: for raheem, thrilled for Kirk, and thrilled as an NFL fan, 215 00:09:32,868 --> 00:09:35,628 Speaker 7: like that is the product. All we've been hearing about 216 00:09:35,668 --> 00:09:37,108 Speaker 7: Steve over the last several weeks is. 217 00:09:37,308 --> 00:09:40,068 Speaker 6: The offense is down, scoring is down. What's going on? 218 00:09:40,188 --> 00:09:42,548 Speaker 6: Bad football? Blah blah blah. Did you watch that last night? 219 00:09:42,788 --> 00:09:45,628 Speaker 6: That's the products? Thank you Atlanta and Tampa Bay and. 220 00:09:45,628 --> 00:09:47,828 Speaker 4: Kyle you know, talk about the Falcons offense going to 221 00:09:47,868 --> 00:09:50,908 Speaker 4: continue to blossom. Remember it's not just Kirk coming in 222 00:09:50,948 --> 00:09:51,668 Speaker 4: and new faces. 223 00:09:51,748 --> 00:09:53,228 Speaker 1: Zach Robinson, the play caller. 224 00:09:53,308 --> 00:09:55,388 Speaker 4: This is the first time he's done this, so he's 225 00:09:55,428 --> 00:09:57,948 Speaker 4: getting used to these guys. And Kyle, since you're talking 226 00:09:57,988 --> 00:10:00,988 Speaker 4: about Kirk Cousins being born in the eighties, I had 227 00:10:00,988 --> 00:10:04,068 Speaker 4: graduated high school by the time Kirk Cousins was born, 228 00:10:04,468 --> 00:10:06,748 Speaker 4: and so back then when people were doing this, we 229 00:10:06,748 --> 00:10:12,308 Speaker 4: were saying hip hop ray. 230 00:10:10,668 --> 00:10:13,308 Speaker 1: That was not my nature. 231 00:10:13,588 --> 00:10:16,548 Speaker 6: So that's where we are, right. Yeah. 232 00:10:16,308 --> 00:10:19,068 Speaker 2: You mentioned it, Kyle too, when you're in December, what 233 00:10:19,108 --> 00:10:20,748 Speaker 2: this game is going to mean. And I think any 234 00:10:20,788 --> 00:10:23,068 Speaker 2: team that goes on a run, which people think Atlanta 235 00:10:23,268 --> 00:10:25,388 Speaker 2: could and should do, there's always a game you point 236 00:10:25,428 --> 00:10:28,028 Speaker 2: back to. And I can go back to Atlanta in 237 00:10:28,068 --> 00:10:30,668 Speaker 2: the Tom Brady era in twenty twenty. The Bucks were 238 00:10:30,668 --> 00:10:33,108 Speaker 2: there and that very same stadium. They were down seventeen 239 00:10:33,148 --> 00:10:36,068 Speaker 2: to nothing to the Falcons. They came all the way back, 240 00:10:36,148 --> 00:10:39,228 Speaker 2: They scored on the five straight drives to start the second. 241 00:10:38,988 --> 00:10:39,908 Speaker 3: Half and won that game. 242 00:10:40,348 --> 00:10:43,268 Speaker 2: And in a vacuum, you looked at that game and 243 00:10:43,308 --> 00:10:46,148 Speaker 2: you're like, hmm, there's something special there. They never lost again. 244 00:10:46,148 --> 00:10:47,108 Speaker 2: They went on to win the Super Bowl. IM not 245 00:10:47,108 --> 00:10:48,748 Speaker 2: saying the Falcons are never going to lose again. They're 246 00:10:48,748 --> 00:10:50,268 Speaker 2: going to run up to the Super Bowl. But I 247 00:10:50,308 --> 00:10:53,348 Speaker 2: think in every organization, you in any season, you go 248 00:10:53,388 --> 00:10:55,268 Speaker 2: back and go that's the game, good or bad. Like 249 00:10:55,308 --> 00:10:57,508 Speaker 2: that maybe flips the switch and I think that might 250 00:10:57,548 --> 00:10:59,588 Speaker 2: be the game for the Falcons. We want to bring 251 00:10:59,588 --> 00:11:01,308 Speaker 2: in our Ian rapaport because that was. 252 00:11:01,348 --> 00:11:02,748 Speaker 6: Just the kickoff to Week five. 253 00:11:02,748 --> 00:11:05,028 Speaker 2: We got a lot of games to go, and we 254 00:11:05,108 --> 00:11:07,828 Speaker 2: finally got a little more clarity on Rashid Rice this week. 255 00:11:08,388 --> 00:11:10,828 Speaker 3: What's the latest with his status moving forward? 256 00:11:11,948 --> 00:11:15,388 Speaker 9: We got some clarity on the chief star receiver Rashi Rice, 257 00:11:15,388 --> 00:11:17,268 Speaker 9: who really has emerged as one of the best young 258 00:11:17,348 --> 00:11:20,588 Speaker 9: receivers in the NFL. He was eventually placed on injured 259 00:11:20,628 --> 00:11:22,428 Speaker 9: reserve yesterday. 260 00:11:21,908 --> 00:11:22,508 Speaker 6: By the Chiefs. 261 00:11:22,508 --> 00:11:25,548 Speaker 9: That means he is out the next four games at least. 262 00:11:25,548 --> 00:11:27,868 Speaker 1: We don't have full clarity on Rashid Rice though. 263 00:11:28,108 --> 00:11:32,388 Speaker 9: He has more imaging, more tests this coming week Monday 264 00:11:32,428 --> 00:11:35,548 Speaker 9: or Tuesday, just to determine what other damage is in 265 00:11:35,588 --> 00:11:35,988 Speaker 9: the knee. 266 00:11:36,028 --> 00:11:37,908 Speaker 6: Really, what is there and how long he is going 267 00:11:37,948 --> 00:11:38,388 Speaker 6: to be out. 268 00:11:38,588 --> 00:11:41,948 Speaker 9: The initial thought was that it was a significant ligamentary 269 00:11:42,188 --> 00:11:45,468 Speaker 9: likely in acl certainly that is still very possible, but 270 00:11:45,588 --> 00:11:48,348 Speaker 9: more information will be there after this testing and then 271 00:11:48,388 --> 00:11:51,028 Speaker 9: we will find out is there some sort of way 272 00:11:51,068 --> 00:11:54,348 Speaker 9: that Rashi Rice can possibly come back this season, or 273 00:11:54,388 --> 00:11:57,148 Speaker 9: is the knee injury so significant that he is out 274 00:11:57,188 --> 00:11:59,468 Speaker 9: for the season. Chiefs, of course, have plenty of time 275 00:11:59,708 --> 00:12:03,508 Speaker 9: to determine all of that. Meanwhile, Malik Neighbors, the Giants 276 00:12:03,588 --> 00:12:06,228 Speaker 9: young star, their rookie who has been a high, high 277 00:12:06,308 --> 00:12:09,068 Speaker 9: volume receiver for them when he has been on the field. 278 00:12:09,308 --> 00:12:11,508 Speaker 9: He is still in the NFL's concussion protocol, has not 279 00:12:11,708 --> 00:12:14,948 Speaker 9: practiced this week after that hit you're seeing right there. 280 00:12:15,268 --> 00:12:19,348 Speaker 9: That obviously does not vote well for his availability this week. 281 00:12:19,508 --> 00:12:21,788 Speaker 9: He is not a ruled out, but not practicing Wednesday 282 00:12:21,868 --> 00:12:24,548 Speaker 9: and Thursday usually means you are not able to make 283 00:12:24,548 --> 00:12:28,788 Speaker 9: it through the protocol by Sunday. Somewhat similar situation, different 284 00:12:28,828 --> 00:12:33,308 Speaker 9: injury for Jonathan Taylor, the Colts young star running back 285 00:12:33,308 --> 00:12:36,268 Speaker 9: who's off to an excellent start for his team. He's 286 00:12:36,308 --> 00:12:39,628 Speaker 9: dealing with a high ankle sprain from that game against 287 00:12:39,668 --> 00:12:40,868 Speaker 9: the Pittsburgh Steelers. 288 00:12:40,948 --> 00:12:42,588 Speaker 1: He has not practiced this week. 289 00:12:42,828 --> 00:12:45,788 Speaker 9: My understanding is it was a mild sprain, but likely 290 00:12:45,828 --> 00:12:48,308 Speaker 9: to miss some time. This would be the time it 291 00:12:48,308 --> 00:12:50,228 Speaker 9: would be a surprise if he is able to get 292 00:12:50,228 --> 00:12:53,388 Speaker 9: on the field for the Colts. Meanwhile, Anthony Richardson, their quarterback, 293 00:12:53,468 --> 00:13:00,388 Speaker 9: is practiced every day this week. Good sign for him. 294 00:13:00,748 --> 00:13:04,268 Speaker 2: That dignified music means it is time to head over 295 00:13:05,508 --> 00:13:08,188 Speaker 2: to a very classy duo. We want to bring in 296 00:13:08,268 --> 00:13:11,628 Speaker 2: our Stacy Dale's and Jamie Earle. By the way, if 297 00:13:11,668 --> 00:13:14,108 Speaker 2: you were starting a basketball team, you want to start 298 00:13:14,188 --> 00:13:16,788 Speaker 2: with these two. See pointed that out to me. We're 299 00:13:16,908 --> 00:13:19,828 Speaker 2: sending it over to two hoopers who are hanging out 300 00:13:19,868 --> 00:13:22,188 Speaker 2: in London. Very color coordinated this morning. 301 00:13:22,228 --> 00:13:23,068 Speaker 3: Guys, what's going on. 302 00:13:26,068 --> 00:13:28,068 Speaker 10: We are having a great day, Sarah, so great to 303 00:13:28,108 --> 00:13:30,508 Speaker 10: see you. Great to be on GMFB. We did not 304 00:13:30,588 --> 00:13:33,148 Speaker 10: plan this. This is just we're natural teammates this way. 305 00:13:33,668 --> 00:13:34,788 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's how we roll. 306 00:13:35,108 --> 00:13:38,108 Speaker 11: And we took the toss from a footballer in the 307 00:13:38,268 --> 00:13:41,388 Speaker 11: now Walsh like power women moment. 308 00:13:41,508 --> 00:13:42,028 Speaker 3: Absolutely. 309 00:13:42,108 --> 00:13:44,988 Speaker 10: Yeah, we are on the sidelines for the game this 310 00:13:45,028 --> 00:13:47,428 Speaker 10: weekend Stacy and I. You will be on the Viking sideline. 311 00:13:47,428 --> 00:13:49,908 Speaker 10: I will be on the Jets sideline. We are in Watford, 312 00:13:49,948 --> 00:13:52,828 Speaker 10: which is some would call the English countryside at the 313 00:13:52,908 --> 00:13:56,628 Speaker 10: Vikings team hotel. Just got done with those production meetings 314 00:13:56,748 --> 00:13:59,788 Speaker 10: and we gleaned a lot of information out of this team. Yeah, 315 00:13:59,708 --> 00:14:00,708 Speaker 10: we're so impressive. 316 00:14:00,788 --> 00:14:03,748 Speaker 11: We heard from head coach with the Vikings, Kevin O'Connell, 317 00:14:04,748 --> 00:14:07,628 Speaker 11: Sam Donald, who leads the National Football League and passing touchdowns. 318 00:14:07,708 --> 00:14:10,588 Speaker 11: We talked to Justin Jefferson and Jonathan Grenard. One of 319 00:14:10,588 --> 00:14:13,428 Speaker 11: the storylines, obviously, when you talk about the quarterbacks and 320 00:14:13,468 --> 00:14:16,348 Speaker 11: the way Sam Donald Jane is playing, is that he's 321 00:14:16,348 --> 00:14:18,468 Speaker 11: going to face his former team. He spent three seasons 322 00:14:18,468 --> 00:14:21,948 Speaker 11: obviously in the start of his career there in New York. 323 00:14:21,988 --> 00:14:24,028 Speaker 11: But I loved what he told us in our meetings. 324 00:14:24,028 --> 00:14:26,628 Speaker 11: We can't reveal everything from our meetings, but he has 325 00:14:26,748 --> 00:14:29,788 Speaker 11: flushed New York from his memory. Yeah, and he's thriving 326 00:14:29,868 --> 00:14:30,548 Speaker 11: in Minnesota. 327 00:14:30,628 --> 00:14:33,868 Speaker 10: He really has adopted this be in the present mentality. 328 00:14:33,908 --> 00:14:35,828 Speaker 10: We hear his head coach talk about that all the time. 329 00:14:35,868 --> 00:14:37,788 Speaker 10: For Sam Donald, he likes to say, I'm taking it 330 00:14:37,868 --> 00:14:40,468 Speaker 10: one breath at a time, which is very much right 331 00:14:40,508 --> 00:14:43,388 Speaker 10: in the moment. On the quarterback topic, though important to 332 00:14:43,428 --> 00:14:47,108 Speaker 10: say the Jets have arrived this morning to London and 333 00:14:47,228 --> 00:14:50,628 Speaker 10: Aaron Rodgers having suffered a bit of a knee slight 334 00:14:50,748 --> 00:14:52,428 Speaker 10: knee injury at the end of that game on Sunday 335 00:14:52,428 --> 00:14:54,948 Speaker 10: against the Broncos. He was saying this week that it 336 00:14:55,028 --> 00:14:57,428 Speaker 10: was swollen, that knee was banged up. He was a 337 00:14:57,468 --> 00:15:00,668 Speaker 10: full participant at practice yesterday for the Jets before they 338 00:15:00,708 --> 00:15:03,268 Speaker 10: boarded the plane to come here. But we also talked 339 00:15:03,308 --> 00:15:05,508 Speaker 10: a lot with this Viking team about what it would 340 00:15:05,508 --> 00:15:07,948 Speaker 10: be like for them going up against a really, really 341 00:15:07,988 --> 00:15:10,508 Speaker 10: good secondary led by a Sauce Gardener, and the fact 342 00:15:10,548 --> 00:15:13,108 Speaker 10: that Justin Jefferson now has a big task in front 343 00:15:13,108 --> 00:15:13,348 Speaker 10: of him. 344 00:15:13,468 --> 00:15:15,188 Speaker 11: He has a big task in front of him. But 345 00:15:15,428 --> 00:15:18,428 Speaker 11: the mentality of Justin Jefferson is it's important because he 346 00:15:18,548 --> 00:15:20,428 Speaker 11: thinks he's the best football player on the field. He 347 00:15:20,508 --> 00:15:22,068 Speaker 11: talked to me about it last week ahead of the 348 00:15:22,068 --> 00:15:24,388 Speaker 11: Green Bay game, and we just sat in meetings with him. 349 00:15:24,548 --> 00:15:27,028 Speaker 11: Of all twenty two, he thinks he's the best football player. 350 00:15:27,068 --> 00:15:29,348 Speaker 11: He doesn't care if it's Sauce or the worst corner 351 00:15:29,348 --> 00:15:31,308 Speaker 11: in the league. But Sauce Gardner is a very good 352 00:15:31,348 --> 00:15:33,708 Speaker 11: football player, and we're going to talk to him tomorrow. 353 00:15:33,788 --> 00:15:35,428 Speaker 10: We are going to talk to him tomorrow, and you 354 00:15:35,468 --> 00:15:37,348 Speaker 10: will not be rid of us just yet. We will 355 00:15:37,348 --> 00:15:40,988 Speaker 10: continue Sarah with our coverage here in London on GMFE. 356 00:15:41,028 --> 00:15:42,628 Speaker 2: Hey, Jamie, I just wanted to find out if you 357 00:15:42,708 --> 00:15:46,188 Speaker 2: got the same Stacy Dale's experience in an international game 358 00:15:46,228 --> 00:15:48,988 Speaker 2: production meeting as I did last year because we were 359 00:15:49,028 --> 00:15:52,508 Speaker 2: with Mike McDaniel and he brought her to tear. Stacey, 360 00:15:52,548 --> 00:15:55,868 Speaker 2: did anyone make you emotional this morning in these meetings? 361 00:15:58,668 --> 00:16:01,868 Speaker 11: Maybe the coffee I had because it was really damn strong, But. 362 00:16:01,828 --> 00:16:06,428 Speaker 10: Ye ye, yet just the fact that we are here 363 00:16:06,428 --> 00:16:08,828 Speaker 10: all day is bringing us to tears. Get back to business, 364 00:16:09,108 --> 00:16:10,548 Speaker 10: you know, back to the studio. You guys have a 365 00:16:10,588 --> 00:16:12,268 Speaker 10: rundown you have to stick to. We're trying to follow 366 00:16:12,268 --> 00:16:14,108 Speaker 10: the rules here. Yeah, thank you, ladies. 367 00:16:14,148 --> 00:16:15,708 Speaker 3: We'll see. We'll see that she did. 368 00:16:15,748 --> 00:16:18,148 Speaker 2: Mike mcdannel gave this speech about like how important it 369 00:16:18,188 --> 00:16:19,748 Speaker 2: is to believe in people, and I see Stacy in 370 00:16:19,788 --> 00:16:22,188 Speaker 2: the back of the room start like sniffling. 371 00:16:21,908 --> 00:16:23,468 Speaker 3: And she's like if I had a coach like that 372 00:16:23,588 --> 00:16:25,508 Speaker 3: growing up. Anyway, I digress. 373 00:16:25,788 --> 00:16:28,788 Speaker 2: Time for a round of mad minutes sixty seconds on 374 00:16:28,828 --> 00:16:31,108 Speaker 2: the clock. We're going to keep the international theme going. 375 00:16:31,428 --> 00:16:33,308 Speaker 2: So here we go the four no vikings against the 376 00:16:33,388 --> 00:16:37,148 Speaker 2: two and two jets. Steve can the vikings go five? 377 00:16:37,148 --> 00:16:38,428 Speaker 2: And oh, by the way, don't take up all of 378 00:16:38,468 --> 00:16:41,348 Speaker 2: Kyle's time. He's going to get very very anti go on. 379 00:16:41,228 --> 00:16:43,068 Speaker 6: Steve, Sarah, that's James and gentlemen. 380 00:16:43,388 --> 00:16:45,308 Speaker 4: The Vikings absolutely can go five and oh. And I 381 00:16:45,348 --> 00:16:47,748 Speaker 4: like what Stacey was talking about, justin Jefferson thinking that 382 00:16:47,828 --> 00:16:50,988 Speaker 4: he's the best player on the field, regardless of Sauce Gardner, 383 00:16:51,228 --> 00:16:54,268 Speaker 4: that's gonna be the matchup. But JJ he doesn't think 384 00:16:54,308 --> 00:16:57,388 Speaker 4: anybody can stop stop him, including Sauce. 385 00:16:57,428 --> 00:16:58,428 Speaker 1: There, I saved you some time. 386 00:16:58,868 --> 00:16:59,028 Speaker 6: Yeah. 387 00:16:59,068 --> 00:17:01,148 Speaker 5: No, I like the fact that the Vikings can go 388 00:17:01,268 --> 00:17:03,268 Speaker 5: five and oh. And if they're able to continue that 389 00:17:03,428 --> 00:17:06,828 Speaker 5: firepower on offense to the air with Sam Darnold, they 390 00:17:06,828 --> 00:17:10,148 Speaker 5: will go five to zero because once they get that distance, 391 00:17:10,748 --> 00:17:13,148 Speaker 5: now Brian Flores and that defense can get a little 392 00:17:13,268 --> 00:17:16,868 Speaker 5: nasty with their blitz coverages and they're blitzing tactics. So 393 00:17:17,068 --> 00:17:19,388 Speaker 5: I'm looking forward to seeing this game in London. 394 00:17:20,348 --> 00:17:21,508 Speaker 6: See Sarah and Mantiz. 395 00:17:21,588 --> 00:17:23,468 Speaker 7: What you don't know is sometimes you actually want the 396 00:17:23,548 --> 00:17:26,068 Speaker 7: other people to talk longer, you want them to take 397 00:17:26,148 --> 00:17:29,268 Speaker 7: up more time. But here's what I want. I've said 398 00:17:29,268 --> 00:17:31,388 Speaker 7: this one before. It's just from a pure fan perspective. 399 00:17:31,388 --> 00:17:32,868 Speaker 7: If you like the drama and if you like the 400 00:17:32,908 --> 00:17:36,068 Speaker 7: storylines of the Jets, I'm so excited for the Jets 401 00:17:36,108 --> 00:17:36,988 Speaker 7: first false start. 402 00:17:37,148 --> 00:17:38,708 Speaker 6: You know what's going to happen. Just do you know? 403 00:17:38,748 --> 00:17:40,908 Speaker 7: It's gonna give me one and that's going to USh this. 404 00:17:40,988 --> 00:17:43,468 Speaker 7: The second day false start with Rogers. Caden's maybe in 405 00:17:43,468 --> 00:17:44,788 Speaker 7: a game in London that might be in the rain. 406 00:17:44,828 --> 00:17:48,308 Speaker 7: Who knows the shots of Rogers immediately, then the shots 407 00:17:48,348 --> 00:17:50,268 Speaker 7: to Sala on the bench. The football will talk about 408 00:17:50,268 --> 00:17:51,588 Speaker 7: the rest of the show. I need at least one 409 00:17:51,628 --> 00:17:53,228 Speaker 7: false start for the human experience. I just want to 410 00:17:53,268 --> 00:17:53,588 Speaker 7: watch it. 411 00:17:53,668 --> 00:17:56,988 Speaker 2: Kyle got almost thirty seconds there. Bengals get their first 412 00:17:56,988 --> 00:17:59,828 Speaker 2: win of the season. They are a playing host now 413 00:17:59,868 --> 00:18:02,908 Speaker 2: to the Ravens, who steamrolled the Bills last week. 414 00:18:03,028 --> 00:18:04,908 Speaker 3: Mantai, how are you seeing this play out? 415 00:18:05,188 --> 00:18:05,308 Speaker 6: Man? 416 00:18:05,348 --> 00:18:08,188 Speaker 5: I'm seeing this Ravens continue that that, that Ravens defense 417 00:18:08,188 --> 00:18:11,908 Speaker 5: continued that dominance. Like watching them be able to discuys coverage, 418 00:18:12,188 --> 00:18:15,028 Speaker 5: watching Kyle Hamilton come off the edge, watching Rokwan Smith 419 00:18:15,108 --> 00:18:17,108 Speaker 5: run silent to a sideline. I'm really looking forward to 420 00:18:17,188 --> 00:18:19,628 Speaker 5: watching them go against Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase and 421 00:18:19,708 --> 00:18:21,588 Speaker 5: t Higgins and all the guys they got on that 422 00:18:21,668 --> 00:18:24,188 Speaker 5: side with Cincinnati. So this is going to be another 423 00:18:24,268 --> 00:18:27,548 Speaker 5: AFC North Classic or UFC North as off Boar likes 424 00:18:27,548 --> 00:18:28,948 Speaker 5: to call it and I'm looking forward top. 425 00:18:31,468 --> 00:18:33,348 Speaker 7: Oh, it's because Kyle right there in the teleprompter. 426 00:18:34,148 --> 00:18:34,988 Speaker 6: That's on me. Guys. 427 00:18:36,268 --> 00:18:38,548 Speaker 7: I'm not exactly having my a game so far today, 428 00:18:38,548 --> 00:18:41,308 Speaker 7: but I'm gonna get back. Listen, Lamar Jackson has won 429 00:18:41,348 --> 00:18:43,428 Speaker 7: four out of five against Joe Burrow. That is a story. 430 00:18:43,468 --> 00:18:45,668 Speaker 7: That is a story that lingers. They're in the same division. 431 00:18:45,828 --> 00:18:47,668 Speaker 7: People aren't supposed to bet Joe Burrow like that. He's 432 00:18:47,668 --> 00:18:49,948 Speaker 7: supposed to be Joe cool. Nobody has his number. I 433 00:18:49,948 --> 00:18:52,028 Speaker 7: think Lamar might if he wins this one. That becomes 434 00:18:52,068 --> 00:18:53,108 Speaker 7: a bigger storylines Steed. 435 00:18:53,348 --> 00:18:55,108 Speaker 4: Yeah, look, this is all about Derrick Henry and that 436 00:18:55,148 --> 00:18:57,468 Speaker 4: offensive line coming together. They took a few games for 437 00:18:57,508 --> 00:18:59,708 Speaker 4: them to figure out that run game. They're re lying 438 00:18:59,748 --> 00:19:03,068 Speaker 4: on Derrick Henry. We have seen this Bengals defense really struggle. 439 00:19:03,348 --> 00:19:05,268 Speaker 4: I do not think cin today he gets their first win. 440 00:19:05,348 --> 00:19:07,428 Speaker 4: Right here, Lamar goes up, but this is going to 441 00:19:07,508 --> 00:19:09,788 Speaker 4: be on the heels of number twenty two running the ball. 442 00:19:10,028 --> 00:19:12,028 Speaker 3: It gets okay. 443 00:19:12,028 --> 00:19:14,068 Speaker 2: So he's the rookie with all the hype going his 444 00:19:14,148 --> 00:19:17,228 Speaker 2: way right now. Jaden Daniels taking the league by storm, 445 00:19:17,228 --> 00:19:20,068 Speaker 2: he's got the Commander sitting at three and one. The 446 00:19:20,108 --> 00:19:23,068 Speaker 2: Browns are coming into the Nation's capital hoping to win 447 00:19:23,108 --> 00:19:25,668 Speaker 2: two games in a row. Kyle, what intrigues you the 448 00:19:25,668 --> 00:19:26,588 Speaker 2: most in this matchup? 449 00:19:27,548 --> 00:19:29,628 Speaker 6: It's hard to say anything other than Jadon and Daniels. 450 00:19:29,628 --> 00:19:30,228 Speaker 6: It really is. 451 00:19:30,268 --> 00:19:31,748 Speaker 7: As much respect as I have for the rest of 452 00:19:31,788 --> 00:19:34,508 Speaker 7: the Commanders and whatever Cleveland's trying to scrape together right now, 453 00:19:34,708 --> 00:19:36,788 Speaker 7: you can't tear your eyes off them. It drives me 454 00:19:36,868 --> 00:19:38,788 Speaker 7: nuts that they don't have a primetime game, and so 455 00:19:39,028 --> 00:19:42,148 Speaker 7: week eleven, the Vikings right now are probably the best 456 00:19:42,188 --> 00:19:44,028 Speaker 7: story as they try to go five and zero. 457 00:19:44,068 --> 00:19:46,388 Speaker 6: But the best show, the best experience. 458 00:19:45,988 --> 00:19:47,748 Speaker 7: The coolest young thing going on in the NFL right 459 00:19:47,748 --> 00:19:50,588 Speaker 7: now is Jayden Daniels. My man Scottie Hanson do a 460 00:19:50,628 --> 00:19:52,668 Speaker 7: little bit of leaning into the Washington game. I don't 461 00:19:52,708 --> 00:19:54,748 Speaker 7: care if they're necessarily in the red zone. Show a 462 00:19:54,748 --> 00:19:56,788 Speaker 7: lot of Commanders Browns is the only way everybody can 463 00:19:56,828 --> 00:19:57,148 Speaker 7: see him. 464 00:19:58,028 --> 00:20:01,028 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's interesting, how now Jaden Daniels is what Deshaun 465 00:20:01,068 --> 00:20:03,268 Speaker 4: Watson was in terms of a player that exciting you 466 00:20:03,348 --> 00:20:04,908 Speaker 4: must y yeah type of guy. 467 00:20:04,948 --> 00:20:06,428 Speaker 1: But what I am looking for, and I spoke to 468 00:20:06,508 --> 00:20:06,908 Speaker 1: Dan Quinn. 469 00:20:06,948 --> 00:20:08,988 Speaker 4: We're gonna get to this a little bit later. Is 470 00:20:09,228 --> 00:20:13,548 Speaker 4: can Washington sustain success? Now, when you're chasing something is 471 00:20:13,588 --> 00:20:16,548 Speaker 4: one thing. Sustaining it is another thing. Now there's hype, 472 00:20:16,588 --> 00:20:20,268 Speaker 4: now there's expectations. That's going to be the challenge against 473 00:20:20,268 --> 00:20:22,868 Speaker 4: a Jim Schwartz defense for Cleveland that you never know 474 00:20:22,908 --> 00:20:23,628 Speaker 4: what you're gonna get. 475 00:20:23,628 --> 00:20:25,828 Speaker 1: But it's gonna be difficult regardless of what that is. 476 00:20:26,188 --> 00:20:28,428 Speaker 5: If it ain't broke, don't fix it. That's all I'm 477 00:20:28,428 --> 00:20:28,868 Speaker 5: gonna say. 478 00:20:28,908 --> 00:20:29,188 Speaker 6: Next. 479 00:20:30,428 --> 00:20:31,268 Speaker 3: That was a quick one. 480 00:20:32,548 --> 00:20:34,948 Speaker 2: Panthers are heading to Chicago to take on Caleb Williams 481 00:20:34,988 --> 00:20:35,708 Speaker 2: and the Bears. 482 00:20:36,148 --> 00:20:37,748 Speaker 3: Steve how will it play out? 483 00:20:37,988 --> 00:20:39,788 Speaker 4: How will play out? The Bears offense going to continue 484 00:20:39,828 --> 00:20:41,188 Speaker 4: to get better? I mean, the one thing we've seen 485 00:20:41,188 --> 00:20:43,708 Speaker 4: the Carolina Panthers. We could talk about whatever, they don't 486 00:20:43,708 --> 00:20:45,588 Speaker 4: have it. I just like to see the fact that 487 00:20:45,588 --> 00:20:47,788 Speaker 4: their offense is getting better. Shane Waldron is tarting to 488 00:20:47,868 --> 00:20:50,348 Speaker 4: mess a lot of pieces together. I think Caleb Williams 489 00:20:50,388 --> 00:20:51,748 Speaker 4: is gonna get going. They're going to take some more 490 00:20:51,748 --> 00:20:54,508 Speaker 4: shot plays. Enough of this quick game. Think there's gonna 491 00:20:54,548 --> 00:20:55,828 Speaker 4: be some explosives for the Bears. 492 00:20:55,948 --> 00:20:57,708 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think they're getting a lot more comfortable, and 493 00:20:57,748 --> 00:20:59,468 Speaker 5: I think that's what we've saw in the past two weeks. 494 00:20:59,508 --> 00:21:01,628 Speaker 5: Their sons to catch a groove. Caleb Williams has started 495 00:21:01,628 --> 00:21:05,028 Speaker 5: again in the groove.

That matters, guys. 520 00:21:46,308 --> 00:21:49,228 Speaker 2: Hey, quick show plug Mayantai mentioned DeAndre Swift.

It's AFC West, another division game, and 532 00:22:18,308 --> 00:22:20,508 Speaker 5: when it comes to division games, those games are worth 533 00:22:20,548 --> 00:22:22,788 Speaker 5: double So I know Sean Champayne really gets his guys 534 00:22:22,828 --> 00:22:24,228 Speaker 5: going for that. So I'm looking forward to that. 535 00:22:25,388 --> 00:22:28,028 Speaker 7: I would just say prayers up for that devastating hamstring 536 00:22:28,068 --> 00:22:29,388 Speaker 7: injury that Devanta Adams has. 537 00:22:29,428 --> 00:22:31,108 Speaker 6: We're really pulling for him. I know he's trying to 538 00:22:31,108 --> 00:22:32,628 Speaker 6: fight for it and get on the field. I don't 539 00:22:32,628 --> 00:22:34,028 Speaker 6: know if he's gonna make it. You know who I 540 00:22:34,068 --> 00:22:35,868 Speaker 6: want to see Steve. I want to see ball out 541 00:22:35,868 --> 00:22:36,348 Speaker 6: in this game. 542 00:22:36,508 --> 00:22:39,668 Speaker 7: The other Raiders, wide receivers, the other Raiders tight ends, 543 00:22:39,668 --> 00:22:42,228 Speaker 7: the other Raiders weapons. That's going to be the crew 544 00:22:42,308 --> 00:22:44,228 Speaker 7: you have in the maybe five minutes from now, we 545 00:22:44,268 --> 00:22:46,228 Speaker 7: don't know. I'd like those guys to get a little 546 00:22:46,268 --> 00:22:48,028 Speaker 7: chip on their shoulder and make some plays in Denver. 547 00:22:48,148 --> 00:22:50,468 Speaker 4: Yeah, this can be out Brock Bowers, Jacobe Meyers, guys 548 00:22:50,468 --> 00:22:51,148 Speaker 4: like that step up. 549 00:22:51,188 --> 00:22:53,348 Speaker 1: But the one thing about the Raiders they know how to. 550 00:22:53,308 --> 00:22:56,108 Speaker 4: Deal with adversity because they're constantly. 551 00:22:55,588 --> 00:22:56,228 Speaker 1: Mired in it. 552 00:22:56,588 --> 00:22:58,748 Speaker 4: So this is you know, we'll we'll see. I just 553 00:22:58,788 --> 00:23:01,988 Speaker 4: think this Broncos defense with advance Joseph is doing is real. 554 00:23:02,348 --> 00:23:04,908 Speaker 4: That's gonna be a problem. Like Denver, come out. 555 00:23:04,828 --> 00:23:07,988 Speaker 2: With the w well while we're talking to yeah, receivers 556 00:23:08,028 --> 00:23:12,748 Speaker 2: that you know, finding new homes still to come, Josh Allen, Stefan. 557 00:23:12,308 --> 00:23:13,468 Speaker 3: Diggs, Kyle, you know this. 558 00:23:13,788 --> 00:23:16,348 Speaker 2: It's a complicated relationship, isn't it. 559 00:23:17,428 --> 00:23:18,508 Speaker 6: Yeah, we're gonna get into it. 560 00:23:18,548 --> 00:23:20,228 Speaker 7: Alan was asked point blank, do you think there'll be 561 00:23:20,308 --> 00:23:22,188 Speaker 7: a moment on the field when you guys shake hands 562 00:23:22,228 --> 00:23:23,708 Speaker 7: and hug it out? He goes, Oh, I think so, 563 00:23:23,788 --> 00:23:26,508 Speaker 7: I hope. So, I'm sure he'll reciprocators. 564 00:23:26,588 --> 00:23:27,148 Speaker 6: I hope you will. 565 00:23:27,308 --> 00:23:27,708 Speaker 1: He will. 566 00:23:27,788 --> 00:23:30,148 Speaker 7: I got thoughts on what this divorce was and what 567 00:23:30,308 --> 00:23:33,108 Speaker 7: it wasn't. It's two good teams from two good players 568 00:23:33,108 --> 00:23:33,988 Speaker 7: and two good places. 569 00:23:34,028 --> 00:23:41,148 Speaker 6: That is possible. Guys, welcome back. 570 00:23:41,548 --> 00:23:44,788 Speaker 7: Two x's will be at the same party this weekend, 571 00:23:45,468 --> 00:23:48,188 Speaker 7: and the kids, as the fans, will have to sit 572 00:23:48,228 --> 00:23:50,828 Speaker 7: around and watch it. It's a little awkward, it's a 573 00:23:50,828 --> 00:23:54,628 Speaker 7: little uncomfortable, but it doesn't have to be evil. Josh 574 00:23:54,668 --> 00:23:56,788 Speaker 7: Allen and Stefan Diggs will be on the same field 575 00:23:56,828 --> 00:24:00,508 Speaker 7: in different uniforms, kind of like a courtroom session after 576 00:24:00,548 --> 00:24:01,148 Speaker 7: a divorce. 577 00:24:01,908 --> 00:24:03,788 Speaker 6: Personally, I get. 578 00:24:03,588 --> 00:24:06,868 Speaker 7: Nostalgic and I think about the honeymoon phase March of 579 00:24:06,868 --> 00:24:08,548 Speaker 7: twenty twenty, as the world was changing. 580 00:24:08,588 --> 00:24:09,588 Speaker 6: It was a very dark time. 581 00:24:10,268 --> 00:24:12,788 Speaker 7: It was an exhilarating time for the Bills, for Alan, 582 00:24:13,108 --> 00:24:13,708 Speaker 7: for Diggs. 583 00:24:14,708 --> 00:24:16,548 Speaker 6: Digs the new Buffalo Bill who couldn't. 584 00:24:16,228 --> 00:24:18,628 Speaker 7: Stop talking about how excited he was to play with 585 00:24:18,708 --> 00:24:21,788 Speaker 7: Josh Diggs, who wrote a Player's Tribune piece about being 586 00:24:21,908 --> 00:24:25,588 Speaker 7: giddy for wings, and Josh Allen Allan who said of 587 00:24:25,668 --> 00:24:28,788 Speaker 7: his new receiver, I'm floating on cloud nine. He's going 588 00:24:28,828 --> 00:24:31,628 Speaker 7: to be well with our wide receiver group. He's going 589 00:24:31,668 --> 00:24:32,548 Speaker 7: to mesh well with. 590 00:24:32,548 --> 00:24:34,748 Speaker 6: Our locker room, and he did. 591 00:24:35,628 --> 00:24:38,668 Speaker 7: What followed was some of the best quarterback wide receiver 592 00:24:38,748 --> 00:24:42,628 Speaker 7: production of this generation, some of the best Bills football 593 00:24:42,748 --> 00:24:43,388 Speaker 7: in history. 594 00:24:43,908 --> 00:24:46,668 Speaker 6: They were a beautiful electric tandem. 595 00:24:46,988 --> 00:24:49,268 Speaker 7: And it's easy to forget these golden years now that 596 00:24:49,308 --> 00:24:52,308 Speaker 7: the clouds of divorce have muddled the memories, but they 597 00:24:52,308 --> 00:24:55,828 Speaker 7: were brilliant. Diggs was a killer in the twenty twenty 598 00:24:55,828 --> 00:24:59,308 Speaker 7: wildcard round again in the Divisional round, the catch against 599 00:24:59,308 --> 00:25:01,948 Speaker 7: Detroit on Thanksgiving Day. There were so many memories, so 600 00:25:01,988 --> 00:25:05,988 Speaker 7: many great memories. There always will be. Stefan Diggs catching 601 00:25:06,028 --> 00:25:09,788 Speaker 7: passes from Josh Allen was awesome. Josh said in twenty 602 00:25:09,828 --> 00:25:12,748 Speaker 7: twenty one, I'm a big believer in off the field relationships, 603 00:25:12,788 --> 00:25:15,308 Speaker 7: paying dividends. We get to hang out with each other 604 00:25:15,388 --> 00:25:19,028 Speaker 7: a lot. Well, fast forward three years ago to this week, 605 00:25:19,068 --> 00:25:21,268 Speaker 7: and he says he hasn't had any contact with Diggs 606 00:25:21,308 --> 00:25:25,708 Speaker 7: since the trade. The party ended quickly, it ended dramatically, 607 00:25:25,988 --> 00:25:28,868 Speaker 7: and it ended because Stefan Diggs wanted it to end. 608 00:25:29,188 --> 00:25:31,788 Speaker 7: He wanted out of Buffalo, just like he wanted out 609 00:25:31,788 --> 00:25:34,748 Speaker 7: of Minnesota, just like he'll want out of Houston at 610 00:25:34,748 --> 00:25:37,788 Speaker 7: some point. Stefan Diggs is far from a bad guy. 611 00:25:38,028 --> 00:25:41,108 Speaker 7: Sefan Diggs an emotional guy. He's a competitive guy and 612 00:25:41,188 --> 00:25:44,228 Speaker 7: a passionate guy. Have you ever been around someone who's 613 00:25:44,308 --> 00:25:46,348 Speaker 7: NonStop passionate about what they do? 614 00:25:47,388 --> 00:25:49,868 Speaker 6: At first, it's inspiring, then. 615 00:25:49,708 --> 00:25:53,988 Speaker 7: It's contagious, and after a while it becomes exhausting. And 616 00:25:54,068 --> 00:25:56,788 Speaker 7: I believe it became exhausting for Josh Allen and for 617 00:25:56,828 --> 00:25:59,908 Speaker 7: the Bill's entire organizations. And not only gets Stefan Diggs 618 00:25:59,948 --> 00:26:02,828 Speaker 7: the ball a lot during the game, but to answer 619 00:26:02,988 --> 00:26:06,988 Speaker 7: constant questions about it during the week, and that leads 620 00:26:07,028 --> 00:26:10,268 Speaker 7: to quotes like this from the franchise player just a 621 00:26:10,308 --> 00:26:11,148 Speaker 7: couple of weeks ago. 622 00:26:13,548 --> 00:26:16,668 Speaker 12: When guys get to buy into this and really understand, 623 00:26:16,788 --> 00:26:19,668 Speaker 12: like I may not get the ball four or five 624 00:26:19,748 --> 00:26:21,788 Speaker 12: times thrown to me a game, but the one or 625 00:26:21,788 --> 00:26:23,548 Speaker 12: two times I do, I'm gonna have opportunities be in 626 00:26:23,548 --> 00:26:27,828 Speaker 12: the zone. And you know, it's it's a fun and 627 00:26:27,948 --> 00:26:29,668 Speaker 12: wonderful thing. When you had a bunch of guys that 628 00:26:29,788 --> 00:26:37,268 Speaker 12: don't care about the stats, they don't care about the touchdowns. 629 00:26:34,588 --> 00:26:37,108 Speaker 7: All right, So is he trying to compliment and build 630 00:26:37,188 --> 00:26:41,308 Speaker 7: up his young core of playmakers. Absolutely was there a 631 00:26:41,348 --> 00:26:43,948 Speaker 7: bit of shade at the guy no longer there, guys. 632 00:26:43,988 --> 00:26:45,708 Speaker 7: That's why the term shade exists. 633 00:26:46,148 --> 00:26:46,628 Speaker 6: That's it. 634 00:26:47,068 --> 00:26:49,468 Speaker 7: And you will hear soundbites like that in a divorce 635 00:26:49,868 --> 00:26:53,468 Speaker 7: directed at the other person. It's inevitable, but so is 636 00:26:53,548 --> 00:26:56,628 Speaker 7: also hearing from someone that the other person has moved 637 00:26:56,668 --> 00:27:00,748 Speaker 7: on with, like when Diggs's new partner said this down 638 00:27:00,788 --> 00:27:01,308 Speaker 7: in Houston. 639 00:27:02,508 --> 00:27:05,108 Speaker 12: No, I'm very happy for him, and you know, I'm 640 00:27:05,108 --> 00:27:07,308 Speaker 12: glad that you know, he's finally you know, having fun 641 00:27:07,348 --> 00:27:10,548 Speaker 12: playing the game and you know, doing what he loves 642 00:27:10,548 --> 00:27:12,348 Speaker 12: to do because he loves football a lot. 643 00:27:14,668 --> 00:27:14,988 Speaker 6: CJ. 644 00:27:15,028 --> 00:27:17,628 Speaker 7: Stroud is harmless, of course, he's no home wrecker here, 645 00:27:18,108 --> 00:27:20,628 Speaker 7: Diggs left on his own. Stroud was a freshman at 646 00:27:20,628 --> 00:27:23,548 Speaker 7: Ohio State during Allen and Diggs's honeymoon. I wouldn't expect 647 00:27:23,588 --> 00:27:26,468 Speaker 7: him to know how much fun Diggs had in Buffalo, 648 00:27:27,308 --> 00:27:30,988 Speaker 7: but I remember the fans remember, and really I hope 649 00:27:31,028 --> 00:27:34,268 Speaker 7: that Josh and Steph remember, because honestly, how could they 650 00:27:34,308 --> 00:27:37,388 Speaker 7: forget playing. 651 00:27:37,068 --> 00:27:39,468 Speaker 6: With his guy, practicing with his guy. He's a guy 652 00:27:39,508 --> 00:27:41,388 Speaker 6: that can do it. And as a as. 653 00:27:41,228 --> 00:27:43,028 Speaker 8: A player that you just want to you just want 654 00:27:43,028 --> 00:27:43,668 Speaker 8: to play for him. 655 00:27:43,708 --> 00:27:46,268 Speaker 6: You know, he works hard, he busted his oh not 656 00:27:46,548 --> 00:27:49,548 Speaker 6: Hey worry. He busses, hey worry, and I just love. 657 00:27:49,468 --> 00:27:50,028 Speaker 12: His guy man. 658 00:27:50,068 --> 00:27:52,788 Speaker 6: I said, hey, you guys, enjoy the celebration. 659 00:27:53,188 --> 00:27:54,908 Speaker 4: Congratulations. 660 00:27:58,108 --> 00:27:59,828 Speaker 6: That's the tandem I choose to remember. 661 00:28:00,228 --> 00:28:03,308 Speaker 7: And I think there are better places for Bills fans 662 00:28:03,308 --> 00:28:06,428 Speaker 7: to put their ranker than it's Stefon Diggs. Stefan Diggs 663 00:28:06,628 --> 00:28:10,668 Speaker 7: was a massive critical figure in ushering Josh Allen from 664 00:28:10,748 --> 00:28:13,188 Speaker 7: NFL adolescence to adulthood. 665 00:28:13,628 --> 00:28:16,108 Speaker 6: And Steph does move on. He's moved on. He looks great, 666 00:28:16,268 --> 00:28:19,068 Speaker 6: he seems happy for now. So is Josh. 667 00:28:19,108 --> 00:28:21,628 Speaker 7: He's got full custody of the Bills in the divorce, 668 00:28:22,188 --> 00:28:24,868 Speaker 7: and like so many divorce settlements, are about the numbers. 669 00:28:25,348 --> 00:28:26,628 Speaker 6: We'll look at these numbers. 670 00:28:26,988 --> 00:28:29,468 Speaker 7: This is what makes Bills fans and Josh Allen sleep 671 00:28:29,508 --> 00:28:32,588 Speaker 7: at nights. On the left column the Digs era, and 672 00:28:32,628 --> 00:28:35,188 Speaker 7: the right column the post Diggs era. As young as 673 00:28:35,228 --> 00:28:39,388 Speaker 7: it may be, it's better, it's more efficient, It's right 674 00:28:39,588 --> 00:28:42,628 Speaker 7: where it should be. Josh Allen is not only okay 675 00:28:42,668 --> 00:28:46,308 Speaker 7: without Diggs so far, he's better now. There will come 676 00:28:46,348 --> 00:28:49,308 Speaker 7: a moment when the two of them will bro hug 677 00:28:49,348 --> 00:28:51,548 Speaker 7: it out in Houston before the game. 678 00:28:51,508 --> 00:28:53,308 Speaker 6: And I, for one will be happy about it. 679 00:28:53,708 --> 00:28:56,748 Speaker 7: I don't expect Bills fans to root for Diggs for 680 00:28:56,828 --> 00:29:00,188 Speaker 7: the rest of his career, but why bother rooting against him? 681 00:29:00,428 --> 00:29:02,348 Speaker 6: He was a great Bill. 682 00:29:02,788 --> 00:29:04,988 Speaker 7: There have been so many guys who have come through 683 00:29:05,028 --> 00:29:07,748 Speaker 7: that organization who were supposed to make plays and didn't. 684 00:29:08,308 --> 00:29:10,148 Speaker 7: I think it's okay to still have a little love 685 00:29:10,188 --> 00:29:11,028 Speaker 7: for someone who did. 686 00:29:11,668 --> 00:29:12,668 Speaker 6: Guys, what do you think? 687 00:29:12,908 --> 00:29:14,428 Speaker 2: Well, first of all, I think Kyle, you have a 688 00:29:14,468 --> 00:29:20,148 Speaker 2: really great future as a divorce mediator. Really well said boy, Steve, 689 00:29:20,268 --> 00:29:20,868 Speaker 2: your thoughts. 690 00:29:21,348 --> 00:29:22,748 Speaker 6: Look, I'm a child. 691 00:29:22,468 --> 00:29:26,108 Speaker 7: Of divorce, Steve, I'm speaking autobiographically. That's all my childhood. 692 00:29:26,148 --> 00:29:26,828 Speaker 7: I just laid out. 693 00:29:26,828 --> 00:29:27,268 Speaker 6: It's tough. 694 00:29:27,468 --> 00:29:27,908 Speaker 1: Same here. 695 00:29:28,108 --> 00:29:30,348 Speaker 4: I've been their child child of divorce as well. Look, 696 00:29:30,548 --> 00:29:33,068 Speaker 4: I thought that was really well done because you're telling 697 00:29:33,108 --> 00:29:35,388 Speaker 4: a story of a narrative we've seen before. Remember too, 698 00:29:35,628 --> 00:29:38,548 Speaker 4: that's my quarterback, you know, him and Tony Romo went 699 00:29:38,548 --> 00:29:38,828 Speaker 4: through it. 700 00:29:39,028 --> 00:29:40,988 Speaker 1: But the first year, there there's the bay. In the 701 00:29:40,988 --> 00:29:42,188 Speaker 1: second year there there's the bay. 702 00:29:42,228 --> 00:29:45,668 Speaker 4: And then, like you said, sometimes that passion becomes exhausted. 703 00:29:45,828 --> 00:29:48,628 Speaker 4: Sometimes guys want to put themselves at a certain spot 704 00:29:48,708 --> 00:29:49,228 Speaker 4: that are different. 705 00:29:49,228 --> 00:29:50,228 Speaker 1: We're seeing DeVante. 706 00:29:49,948 --> 00:29:52,308 Speaker 4: Adams go through that with the Raiders right now, So 707 00:29:52,708 --> 00:29:54,948 Speaker 4: it's just part of it. The good thing is Defawon 708 00:29:54,988 --> 00:29:56,668 Speaker 4: Diggs is in a place in a later part of 709 00:29:56,708 --> 00:29:59,228 Speaker 4: his career. He's in place mentally and he's in a 710 00:29:59,268 --> 00:30:01,268 Speaker 4: place physically where he can win ball games with a 711 00:30:01,268 --> 00:30:03,948 Speaker 4: great young quarterback. I just think there was a very 712 00:30:03,948 --> 00:30:05,828 Speaker 4: well thing that you said about don't no need to 713 00:30:05,868 --> 00:30:08,788 Speaker 4: hate on Stefan Diggs. If you're the Bills, cheer for 714 00:30:08,868 --> 00:30:12,108 Speaker 4: your guy Josh Allen, who's faring just as well without Stefan. 715 00:30:12,428 --> 00:30:14,908 Speaker 5: Yeah, cheer for him and and and and celebrate the 716 00:30:14,948 --> 00:30:17,828 Speaker 5: greatness that was, you know with the Buffalo Bills and 717 00:30:17,948 --> 00:30:19,588 Speaker 5: and Josh Allen von Diggs. 718 00:30:19,588 --> 00:30:20,948 Speaker 6: You know, KB you put it. 719 00:30:20,988 --> 00:30:25,028 Speaker 5: You pointed out Josh Allen's success after Diggs has left. 720 00:30:25,108 --> 00:30:28,628 Speaker 5: It's it's really no surprise because it reminds me of 721 00:30:28,668 --> 00:30:29,748 Speaker 5: Rock Party this year. 722 00:30:30,268 --> 00:30:31,308 Speaker 6: You know, brock Purty. 723 00:30:31,068 --> 00:30:33,908 Speaker 5: Doesn't have the debo for for some games, you know, 724 00:30:33,988 --> 00:30:37,468 Speaker 5: a yuki he's come, he's getting the rust off. And 725 00:30:37,588 --> 00:30:40,788 Speaker 5: when you have a quarterback and he doesn't have a 726 00:30:40,828 --> 00:30:43,268 Speaker 5: play call where he knows, okay, this play, the ball 727 00:30:43,308 --> 00:30:46,308 Speaker 5: has to go to this guy. He can sit back, 728 00:30:46,388 --> 00:30:48,748 Speaker 5: he can read defenses, and get the ball work to 729 00:30:48,788 --> 00:30:51,068 Speaker 5: the receiver that is supposed to go to. Sometimes, when 730 00:30:51,108 --> 00:30:54,188 Speaker 5: you have these big character guys on your team and 731 00:30:54,268 --> 00:30:58,508 Speaker 5: guys that expect the ball, offensive coordinators will design plays 732 00:30:58,668 --> 00:31:01,588 Speaker 5: specifically to get the ball to that player. And for 733 00:31:01,668 --> 00:31:04,068 Speaker 5: a quarterback sometimes that's frustrating because now I can't be 734 00:31:04,108 --> 00:31:06,628 Speaker 5: a core Now, no matter what the play is, no 735 00:31:06,668 --> 00:31:08,868 Speaker 5: matter what the down and distance is, this ball has 736 00:31:08,908 --> 00:31:11,268 Speaker 5: to go to Stefan Diggs, this ball has to go 737 00:31:11,308 --> 00:31:15,668 Speaker 5: to Deebo Samuel. But to your point, KB, with Josh 738 00:31:15,708 --> 00:31:18,268 Speaker 5: Allen and his numbers in twenty twenty four, it reminds 739 00:31:18,268 --> 00:31:19,988 Speaker 5: me a lot of Rock Perty and how we're seeing 740 00:31:20,028 --> 00:31:23,268 Speaker 5: him with Juwan Jennings and that success there. No matter 741 00:31:23,308 --> 00:31:25,708 Speaker 5: who's out there, He's able to go back there, go 742 00:31:25,788 --> 00:31:28,708 Speaker 5: back there, drop back, and beer quarterback be able to 743 00:31:28,748 --> 00:31:31,308 Speaker 5: drop back, diagnose the defense and get. 744 00:31:31,148 --> 00:31:33,988 Speaker 6: The ball where it's supposed to get to. So great job, KB. 745 00:31:33,868 --> 00:31:36,988 Speaker 5: What a great light that you shine, not only on 746 00:31:37,068 --> 00:31:40,348 Speaker 5: that relationship but on the contrast between the two, the 747 00:31:40,468 --> 00:31:43,988 Speaker 5: success of both going into the twenty twenty four season, well, 748 00:31:44,028 --> 00:31:44,388 Speaker 5: we'll see. 749 00:31:44,428 --> 00:31:46,788 Speaker 7: I just don't think this is jersey burning time for 750 00:31:46,828 --> 00:31:49,308 Speaker 7: Buffalo and I suspect that they're probably not doing it either, 751 00:31:49,308 --> 00:31:50,748 Speaker 7: because there were so many great times. 752 00:31:51,028 --> 00:31:53,668 Speaker 6: Just a little bit of insight, you know, I've interviewed 753 00:31:53,708 --> 00:31:54,628 Speaker 6: Josh many times. 754 00:31:54,668 --> 00:31:56,588 Speaker 7: I know a little bit about what makes everything tick 755 00:31:56,628 --> 00:31:58,908 Speaker 7: behind the scenes there in Buffalo, and it was a 756 00:31:58,988 --> 00:32:02,068 Speaker 7: problem after a while in the media sense. I genuinely 757 00:32:02,108 --> 00:32:05,388 Speaker 7: think that there were sit down conversations between between the coach, 758 00:32:05,468 --> 00:32:07,948 Speaker 7: the GM and the quarterback and the PR people about 759 00:32:07,948 --> 00:32:09,988 Speaker 7: how are we going to handle this Stefan's story? What 760 00:32:10,028 --> 00:32:12,228 Speaker 7: are we not going to say about this Stefan's story? 761 00:32:12,428 --> 00:32:14,708 Speaker 7: And not once or twice, but a whole handful of times. 762 00:32:14,748 --> 00:32:16,908 Speaker 7: So after a while you're like, we love him and 763 00:32:16,948 --> 00:32:19,188 Speaker 7: he's a great player. I don't want to keep dealing 764 00:32:19,228 --> 00:32:21,508 Speaker 7: with this. It's too much. And I genuinely think it 765 00:32:21,708 --> 00:32:24,388 Speaker 7: stems from Stefan wanting to be part of the game, 766 00:32:24,428 --> 00:32:25,868 Speaker 7: wanting to have his hands on the ball. It's the 767 00:32:25,908 --> 00:32:28,348 Speaker 7: tail as old as time. It's eventually time to leave, 768 00:32:28,388 --> 00:32:30,188 Speaker 7: and it's not like they cast them off to wide 769 00:32:30,188 --> 00:32:32,508 Speaker 7: receiver Siberia so fun Diggs might be in the Super 770 00:32:32,548 --> 00:32:35,348 Speaker 7: Bowl this year, it's the rare time it does exist 771 00:32:35,508 --> 00:32:37,988 Speaker 7: when it looks like the early returns are an actually 772 00:32:38,108 --> 00:32:39,428 Speaker 7: mutually happy divorce. 773 00:32:39,508 --> 00:32:41,508 Speaker 2: And I hope so and Kyle when you talked about 774 00:32:41,508 --> 00:32:43,228 Speaker 2: the shade thing and made me think, sometimes those guys 775 00:32:43,268 --> 00:32:45,108 Speaker 2: get put in a position where like, it's a no 776 00:32:45,228 --> 00:32:47,788 Speaker 2: win for Josh, even if I know the shade exists 777 00:32:47,788 --> 00:32:51,188 Speaker 2: for a reason, But anytime he's going to compliment those receivers, 778 00:32:51,188 --> 00:32:53,308 Speaker 2: it's going to immediately be thought of as a shot. 779 00:32:53,348 --> 00:32:55,308 Speaker 2: I just saw in Tampa last weekend when guys were 780 00:32:55,308 --> 00:32:57,228 Speaker 2: saying it was fun with Baker. It's fun because they 781 00:32:57,268 --> 00:32:58,668 Speaker 2: don't have the pressure of they had to win a 782 00:32:58,708 --> 00:33:00,548 Speaker 2: super Bowl. But as soon as you say it's fun, 783 00:33:00,988 --> 00:33:02,988 Speaker 2: it's a shot at Tom Brady and like, can't they 784 00:33:03,028 --> 00:33:03,588 Speaker 2: just have fun? 785 00:33:03,748 --> 00:33:05,268 Speaker 3: It really is an no when's situation
