00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: The Around the NFL Podcast makes better scrambled eggs than

2
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: Rob grand Cat Skin. Welcome back to another edition to

3
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: the Around the NFL Podcast. My name is Dan Hansis,

4
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: and I am joined by a room filled with heroes,

5
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler, Chris Westling and Greg Roseatal. What's up boys,

6
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 1: Hey Dan? Wow? Well, it's so great to have a

7
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: nice slate of games on this Sunday. The NFL rightly too,

8
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: is taking a lot of heat, and the first month

9
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: and a half two months of the season, uh, and

10
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: last Sunday was maybe the NADER in turn a lot

11
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: of ways for the games. But this week, especially a

12
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: couple of games in particular, we got back to some

13
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: competitive pig Skin and I like it. Stepping up their game.

14
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,599
Speaker 1: Football is with World Series is competition. Yeah, the end

15
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: of the early games was thrilling, and then I liked

16
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: that at the in the afternoon. Just two games, but

17
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: they're both outstanding matchups. They both come down to the end.

18
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: Good day for football, Good day for football. A lot

19
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: of games. Mark looks like he disagrees. Mark, Okay, I am.

20
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: I am still gathering my thoughts. After a pre pod

21
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 1: conversation where Greg acknowledges and we talk about Greg maybe

22
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 1: having no childhood, which I would defend the opposite way

23
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: that he must have been a child at some point.

24
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 1: Has never heard of the Hardy Boys. I don't know

25
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: what they dress like. I just know there's something that exists.

26
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: I never I never read Unbelievable Peel Back the Curtain.

27
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,839
Speaker 1: This is because at the Halloween party last night, Mark

28
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: came dressed as the Hardy Boys, which is what he's

29
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 1: dressed as right now. I wore this last night to

30
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: a Halloween party because I don't have it went well.

31
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not gonna get into it. Greg does

32
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: not know who the Hardy Boys are. I don't understand

33
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: what this show is about or what the cast of

34
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: this show is about at this point. But I don't

35
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: know what is the Hardy Boys thing with you. Did

36
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: your dad write the books or something? I don't understand

37
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: why you're so upset about it. I don't even go there, Dan,

38
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: dad did write the He did not write the books.

39
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: I just think that there is a major major block

40
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: missing from Greg's early life experiences to have no idea

41
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: what this historic. Dan has not read them, that's fine,

42
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: but he's heard of them. Yeah, him well now you

43
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 1: are back. No, they dressed like two thousand tens businessmen.

44
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 1: That's strange. But even they didn't even give him modern

45
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 1: tens the decade. All right, let's stock football, all right,

46
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: we can work through this hardy boys situation. Mark go ahead, alright, alright, Gregg,

47
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: you're on your own on this one. I don't know

48
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: what happens. More of a Matt Christopher guy. Um, all right,

49
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: here we go. So we got a lot of games,

50
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: get to not as many as usual as we said.

51
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 1: It is the uh UM six bye week teams on

52
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: by this week. But still we're gonna talk about eleven games.

53
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: And why don't we start, guys with what was the

54
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: game of the day. I think a lot of people agree.

55
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: And it happened in the Georgia Dome between two uh

56
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: NFC giants. Is that's shaping up this season? Uh and

57
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 1: it had a scintillating ending under a minute to go

58
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: Green Bay, Brian to snap, Matt looks end zone, cat

59
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: Sanu touch down at Ladda. Any questions about the guts

60
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: and number two Now he gave him too much time

61
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 1: and he found Sanu. Sanu has been the mismatch in

62
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 1: the middle of the field all day, big time catch

63
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: from Mohammed Sanou West Durham and Dave Archer of w

64
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: z g C. Matt Ryan's eleven yard scoring hook up

65
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: with most saw captain eleven place seventy five yard drive

66
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: in Atlanta's final possession. The difference in the falcons thirty

67
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: three to thirty two win over the Green Bay Packers

68
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: at the Georgia Dome. What's that sounds? Somebody locked it up?

69
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: Who was it? It's me Rosie Rockland up nice Chris

70
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: Westling and Rogers was at his best on Sunday. But

71
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: it was not enough. Was it was not enough? Rogers

72
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: locked it up? Oh it was. I thought it was

73
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: his best all around performance in September of two thousand fifteen,

74
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: when people forget that he started out so strong last

75
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: year before he fell apart at the end of the season.

76
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 1: He was on point with his passes. He was electric

77
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 1: with his legs in the pocket, uh creating space to

78
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: get throws off. And he's doing it with receivers like

79
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 1: Trevor Davis, Jeff Janis, uh Ronimo Allison, guys not a

80
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: real person. Guys who weren't a part of this offense

81
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: and two of those guys the rookies first career passes

82
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: in Green Bay that was today, and I think it

83
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: says something that he was able to accomplish that with

84
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: guys like Randall cob Out, Eddie Lazy, James Starks, Jared Cook,

85
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: Tie Montgomery, and the offense is better. Is it crazy

86
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: to think that maybe they could use a little fresh

87
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: blood to to work in some of these guys. I'm

88
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 1: not saying you got a bench Jordy Nelson, Randall cop

89
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: I'm saying get some of these young guys into the

90
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: mix a little more in certain packages. Well, I think

91
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: Trevor Davis and Jeff Janis are probably the two fastest

92
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: players in their offense, and maybe that does help when

93
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: you have speed on the outside green Bay's offen I

94
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: mean the guys in the rushing attack, Aaron Ripkowski, who

95
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: Don Jackson, Nile Davis, Aaron Rodgers was also the leading

96
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 1: rushier in this game. So he did it all. Greg.

97
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 1: But Atlanta Falcons, even though they lost the prior two weeks,

98
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: you had said on last week's show that it didn't

99
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: change how you felt about him. Then they deliver a

100
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: performance like this that against screams to you that this

101
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 1: team is going to be relevant in January. They are

102
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: among the most consistent teams in the NFL. Now that

103
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: that's good and bad. They have consistently given up a

104
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: lot of points. They're not a good defense, and that's

105
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: gonna hurt them if that doesn't change. But to win

106
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: this game and a come from behind fashion right at

107
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: the end, after the heartbreak of that Seahawks game, which

108
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: I think they deserve, to win that heartbreak of the

109
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: Chargers game last week, this would have would have been

110
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: a tough one to swallow. And so to get a

111
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 1: big win at home against another NFC contender, I think

112
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 1: that's huge. I think it keeps them there obviously the

113
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: NFC South favorite. What did you see, Mark, Well, this

114
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: is a team last year that when they got out

115
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 1: to the six and oh start, I think it was

116
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,119
Speaker 1: fair if you were watching them a couple of weeks

117
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: after that. Is this team for real? There seemed to

118
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: be a lot about it that was smoking mirrors. It's

119
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: the complete opposite. It's the complete opposite this season to

120
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: go back home after two straight losses, two losses, the

121
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: loss of Seattle. As Greg mentioned, I think that the

122
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: last four weeks against Carolina, Denver, and Seattle, and the

123
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 1: Chargers proved to you that this team is built to

124
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: go the distance despite their weaknesses. They're gonna be around

125
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: to the end of the season through the class of

126
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 1: the division. And I don't care who's on the field

127
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,679
Speaker 1: for Green Bay. This is a huge win that before

128
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 1: the season, no one would have given to Atlanta the

129
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: difference this year. Last year it was all Julio Jones

130
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: and that's all they had this year. In a game

131
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: where Tevin Coleman sits out and Julio Jones was hobbled

132
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: in the second quarter he twisted his ankle. Only have

133
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 1: one target in the second half, Mohammed Sanu five catches

134
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 1: for fifty yards and a touchdown on the game winning drive.

135
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 1: Taylor Gabriel up and up. Taylor Gabriel with a beautiful

136
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: long TD with a brilliant Matt Ryan pass and Austin

137
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: Hooper their tight end. I believe only had six catches

138
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: coming into this game and have five on the afternoon.

139
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: They have so many different directions for Matt Ryan to

140
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: go with the ball. This is most news best game.

141
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: Ten targets, nine catches, eighty four yards that touchdown and

142
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: like Wes said, when the Chips are down to Julio

143
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: Jones only targeted five times, obviously, wasn't right that they

144
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: could still win the game. And I think you have

145
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: to look at coaching most A new scores the game

146
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: winning touchdown on a play where they essentially move inside,

147
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: they kind of expect a zone defense, They switch it up,

148
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: they get him matched up on Jake Ryan, who's not

149
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: going to be able to cover him, And to me,

150
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: that's Kyle Shanahan, that's Matt Ryan getting him in a

151
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: position to win the game. Whereas I don't know if

152
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: the Packers offense would would be able to do that.

153
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: They would be expecting their guys to just make some plays.

154
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: Was there that we've talked about Atlanta getting more pass

155
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: rush week after week and it looks like they had

156
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: three sacks today. Does that actually tell the tale of

157
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: what happened? Aaron Rodgers had a lot of time to

158
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: work as always, and he a lot of the man coverage.

159
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: The Falcons want to be his own team, but they

160
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: switched up to some man and in those situations, Rogers

161
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: took off for a lot of big rushes. He had

162
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: a career high sixty rushing yards today. If you want

163
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: to strain hard enough. The two bright spot spots on

164
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: the Falcons defense at pass rush, Adrian Clayborne and Vic

165
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: Beasley combined for ten sacks over the last four games.

166
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: But they're still giving up twenty six or more points

167
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: in seven or eight games this year. And that last

168
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 1: minute drive at least they got some pressure on Rogers

169
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: when when the Chips were down. Let's check in with

170
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: another matchup between big time NFC squads. Third down and

171
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: goal from the one from out of the wing eye

172
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: hand off. Stewarts two tackles and then he booke another tackle.

173
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: That's just a little bust throwing right there. Uh that

174
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: call is Mike Nixon and Eugene Robinson of w BT.

175
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: The Panthers lew the doors off the Cardinals early in

176
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: the NFC Championship game last January. Sunday's rematch was more

177
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: the same. Jonathan Stewart had two touchdowns on the ground,

178
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 1: Arizona was unable to dig out of a huge first

179
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:15,559
Speaker 1: half hole a thirty to twenty Panthers win in Charlotte. Oh,

180
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: we're locking it up again. The old Juser locks one up.

181
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: Oh yes, it's all turning around with a lock of

182
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: the league. He locked it up. I locked it up. Greg. Yes,

183
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: the stats don't show it, but Cam played like an

184
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: m v P in this one. I thought he was

185
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,719
Speaker 1: sensational in the first half of the game. Don't love

186
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: how they sat on the lead. But he finishes with

187
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: two twelve yards, no passing touchdowns, forty three yards rushing.

188
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: But the quality of some of these throws was similar

189
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 1: really to the play he had against New Orleans right

190
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 1: before the bye, when I thought he played fantastic, and

191
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: having Jonathan Stewart back, they really made a point to

192
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: run Cam Newton, to do the zone read, to have

193
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: their multifaceted running game, and it all worked. They look

194
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: they loaded up a twenty four to nothing start and

195
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: the Cardinals really couldn't do anything on offense until until

196
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: the game felt like it was over. Is it actually

197
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: a game that was I asked you one point, you

198
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: know what's going on in this thing? Because you're over

199
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: there covering and I'm looking at the early score when

200
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: they're you know, piling up points. Did it resemble the

201
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: NFC Championship game? Because I would say that how could it?

202
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: Because this Cardinals team is so different than that team.

203
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: It did for a half because an early turnover, which

204
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: is similar I believe to the NFC Championship, came on

205
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: this and this one was a shaky call. They called

206
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: it a fumble on Carson Palmer, probably should have been

207
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: an incomplete pass. But the thing that was similar is

208
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: that the Panthers defense dominated up front, which they also

209
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: did in the ANC Championship. They sent blitz after blitz

210
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: after after Palmer they couldn't handle. Even when they weren't

211
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: blitzing him, they were hitting him. I mean, he could

212
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: not get a throw off for about five or six drives.

213
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: Now they solve some things, but by then it's twenty

214
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: four to nothing. I never really felt like this game

215
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: was in doubt, although again the Panthers sat on it

216
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: a little a little bit too much in the second half.

217
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: Arizona's offensive line as a problem problem. There's the swagger

218
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: just seems gone from this team, though, it's almost like

219
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: they're starting from scratch now. Any any of the good

220
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: will that was built up over the last year or

221
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: two with this team. They are back to ground square one,

222
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: and they got to figure out how to put this

223
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: thing together before it's too late. Well, we talked about

224
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: this on Thursday, that the entire NFC West has offensive

225
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: line issues, and you want to talk about swagger disappearing,

226
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: and and your ability to make big plays and to

227
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: run the ball consistently disappearing. When your offensive line is

228
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: breaking down, everyone starts to look two or three notches

229
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,719
Speaker 1: below where they were last year when everything went right

230
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: for Arizona. Well, and I don't think there's anything wrong

231
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: with Carson Palmer's arm. His arms looks as strong as

232
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: ever to me, but he looks slower. He's not moving

233
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: as well. And that's what happens with old quarterback. But

234
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: they have most old quarterbacks except for, you know, for

235
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 1: the guy who's not on a decline, not yet, Tom

236
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: Brady yet, five year long prediction stands in the narrative

237
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: they've they've had some they've had some common traits every game.

238
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: They're not a good vertical team. The Cardinals, they're one

239
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: of the worst. They didn't have a play over twenty

240
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: yards in this game. And it's the first time I

241
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: thought a team went out of their way. They're just saying,

242
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 1: we're not gonna let David Johnson beat us, and they

243
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 1: just loaded up to stop the run. They couldn't make

244
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: them pay, and Carolina showed a little more confidence in

245
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 1: their defense. And they're back end. Maybe don't wait for

246
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: UH them to get pressure up front. They just sent

247
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: blitz is like crety, very creative. Or it's the first

248
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: team that's focused on David Johnson and being able to

249
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: accomplish that's fair. UH. And we should talk about the

250
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: reigning VP Cam Newton, who came out UH to the

251
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: podium dressed in a ridiculous manner, but then had some

252
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: very serious things to say about what he feels is

253
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: just a lack of protection UH toward him and he

254
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 1: needs the officials to be more accountable on that end.

255
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 1: At times, I don't even feel safe and enough is enough?

256
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 1: You know. I plan on talking to commission a good

257
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: deal about this UM, but it's not fun and I

258
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: don't know what I have to do. I just can't

259
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,199
Speaker 1: keep accepting, oh, we missed that one, or apologize for

260
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 1: for doing that, or or or or what did I

261
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 1: see it? That's horse crap when you're constantly seeing flags

262
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 1: not being thrown and to see other quarterbacks getting it

263
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: lesser hits, less less lesser physical hits than than it's

264
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 1: taking the fun for me out, just being honest with that.

265
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: What did you see Greg in this game? Well, he's

266
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 1: a dent right on the play that he's really upset about,

267
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: which is he's a play in the pocket where Klais

268
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: Campbell goes low at him pretty well after he throws

269
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: the ball. It was an inexcusable miss. I think they'll

270
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: admit to Cam Newton there was no there was no

271
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: debating whether it was a terrible no call, and it

272
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 1: is the type of play it looked like he might

273
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: have been seriously injured. Cam seems bionic, so he was fine,

274
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: So I get him feeling like he's at the breaking

275
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 1: point after that. You should have a buffer the why

276
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: doesn't have to Why does he have to go to

277
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: the podium and make this plea? He's correct in what

278
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: he said, but I mean, you know, someone else on

279
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: the team should be able to mount this for him.

280
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: Tony Dude have the same comment on the pregame show

281
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: for NBC Today that this should be something that comes

282
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: from coming from his teammates, from the front office, from

283
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: the coach. Well, instead Cam has to say it himself

284
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: and then people use it against them. It puts him

285
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: in a tough spot. Ron Rivera did say it after

286
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: the season opener. He compared to treatment to Shack and

287
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: and I think it's fine for Cam to be a

288
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: squeaky wheel here. Get the grease, go get those calls,

289
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: because it's not fair that they wrap him differently than

290
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: they wrap other quarterbacks. Uh. Let's move on and take

291
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: a look at the other team that played in the

292
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: Super Bowl last year, the Rivers from They gone back

293
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: to pass short dump off over the meddal Andy. It's

294
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: deflected and picked off, picked off by Denver running down

295
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: the left sideline, untouched to the ends. Bradley Roby fifty

296
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: one yards on the return. Robie off the deflection, pick

297
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: this one off just past midfield and takes it all

298
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: the way to the house. Dave Logan ko A. Bradley

299
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: Roby's forty nine yard pick six in the second quarter

300
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: gave the Broncos a lead they never relinquish. The final.

301
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: The final uh A nine victory for the defending Super

302
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: Bowl champs, Mark Sessler. The Broncos once again leaned on

303
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: They're tried and true formula, smothering defense and just enough

304
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: offense to get the job done. Yeah, this game had

305
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: a little bit of everything, especially from uh Denver's defense.

306
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: So three interceptions at one point of Rivers. I mean

307
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: they they absolutely did everything they could there Part two,

308
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: you know, get into Rivers head and and and you

309
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: know get unseat this Chargers offense. And the Charges still

310
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: found a way as they have done in every game

311
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: to make this say, last possession game, driving right down

312
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: to the end with a chance to to tie the

313
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: game potentially. But four sacks and thirteen hits on Rivers

314
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: Denver Denver's offense, though, I think that you want to

315
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: look at a team that has issues potentially. I'm not

316
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: saying that C. J. Anderson is a top five type

317
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: running back, but you felt his absence in this game,

318
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: and the ground game really was not respected. I mean

319
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: Davante Booker, he came on late in the fourth quarter,

320
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: but had about twenty eight yards going you know, through

321
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: three quarters of play. And if you're Denver and you

322
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: can't run the ball and you have to force Trevor

323
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: Simeon to throw the ball and get you out of jams.

324
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: At one point they went, you know, multiple drives, tons

325
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: of punts and not making any points out of it.

326
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: And San Diego's defense which I think has a lot

327
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: of exciting factors to it. Joey Bosa on that young

328
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: linebacking crew made it hard on Denver. I don't think

329
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: the score is completely indicative of of of what really

330
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: went on here because both offenses struggled. It was a

331
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: fun game, you said it. It had a little bit

332
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: of everything. Sloppy at times in terms of a lot

333
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: of turnovers, especially inside the red zone. I mean, the

334
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: Broncos could feel like we should have blown them out

335
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: because they fumbled twice when they were going in for scores.

336
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: But then again the Chargers. One of they lost a

337
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: pick six on a drop. They had another play where

338
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: a receiver was a miscommunication with our old friend Griff

339
00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: Whalen Connor's buddy, and uh, the Chargers still get down

340
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: inside the five at the end of the game and

341
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 1: they couldn't get they couldn't get it done. They get

342
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 1: the ball back to it's it's yet another week where

343
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: we see the charge. There was a play here where

344
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 1: Devonte Booker after a eight en turnover by the Chargers

345
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 1: deep in their own territory, where DeVonta Booker was racing

346
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: towards the end zone and was reaching out for the

347
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: pylon to score and he lost the ball and it

348
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: went back to San Diego. I think that changed this game.

349
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 1: Had they punched that in, they would have been up

350
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: and it would have been over at this point right

351
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: and late in the second half. The Chargers have a

352
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 1: knack of when it looks like they're out of it

353
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 1: at that point, they go ninety eight yards, including three

354
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: third and longs on that drive, including some places where

355
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: Rivers gets just nailed. And they've had a knack of

356
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 1: doing that. It's a tough thing to do in Denver.

357
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: I saw the game a little bit differently in in

358
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: the sense that I thought the Chargers were lucky, uh

359
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: to be as close as they were at the end.

360
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 1: I think a couple of things like that fumble, which

361
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: you give Sanyo credit for, of course, but some certain

362
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 1: plays that went down in this game where I feel

363
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: like the Broncos. You play these two teams play in

364
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: Denver ten times. I think the Broncos win eight times.

365
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 1: I think they are a much better team all around.

366
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: I'm a little gained them. Yeah, no, I get it.

367
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 1: I just I thought that that San Diego wasn't quite

368
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: in Denver's class, despite of being a one score game

369
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 1: in the end. Trevor Simeon spooks me a little bit,

370
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,880
Speaker 1: especially when I think about the A F c UH

371
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 1: and what maybe it's really Denver and Pittsburgh that it's

372
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: down to them who's going to even have a chance

373
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: to beat the Patriots. And I don't know if Trevor

374
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 1: Simeon's gonna make enough plays. I didn't see a lot.

375
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 1: I think that's the concern coming out of this. If

376
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 1: Booker can't be a workhorse type back, because it's the

377
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,120
Speaker 1: opposite of Philip Rivers, where you strip everything away from

378
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers and he's still in these games. That's maybe

379
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: where Greg is coming from to the charge, is still

380
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: found a way despite being the lesser team in this

381
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 1: to still hang around. I don't think that's the mold

382
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 1: with Trevor simeon On offense. He they they were five

383
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: or fifteen and third down. You know, you just saw

384
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 1: plays left on the field. And if they can't run

385
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,040
Speaker 1: the ball in a Gary Kubiak offense, they're going to

386
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: rely on not just turnovers but pick sixes from the defense.

387
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to do exactly what they did last year.

388
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: Spice Rack Alert Melvin Gordon on for about rushing yards.

389
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: He's running. Look at that, you look great. He's running

390
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,719
Speaker 1: so hard. He's a good receiver out of the backfield.

391
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: He's running people over. The one thing that I think

392
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,679
Speaker 1: the Broncos can hold their hatn't. They're hitting big plays,

393
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: you know, three four plays over thirty yards to Marius

394
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: Thomas made an unbelievable catch. Sanders made an unbelievable catch.

395
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 1: Like they have talent and they're letting Simeon go out

396
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: there and put it. I mean the passing game. There

397
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: were little moments where they needed a throw from him,

398
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: like out of their own end zone, and he would

399
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 1: connect on some tough throws. Let's check in on the

400
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 1: throne of ease shot cup step Formadlock pretty steps up,

401
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 1: Bros down the right side for Chrome makes the cuts

402
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: to the tunny rock to the time, rock to the

403
00:19:50,080 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 1: record book touched six Bob Sochi Yes, w bz in

404
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 1: five the sports hud too much, Gronk, too much, Brady.

405
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 1: The Patriots avenge a shutout loss earlier in the season

406
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: by stopping the Buffalo Bills a forty one blowout. Uh West.

407
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: The Patriots once again have run away with the ABC East.

408
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: Even Rex, Uh, can you know, conceded as much after

409
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: the game, and Tom Brady and this Pat's offense, they

410
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: just look unstoppable. Rex said during the week, I don't

411
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: know if I've ever seen Brady better, and then after

412
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 1: the game he said, I don't think I've ever seen

413
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 1: him hotter. Uh, And that's that's the deal. Brady is

414
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 1: the best quarterback in the inner NFL this year, and

415
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: I think by a pretty wide margin. He's still on

416
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: top of his game. His pocket movement is good. He's

417
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: going down field more than he did the last couple

418
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: of years. Rob Gronk, they just toy with teams until

419
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 1: they unleashed Gronk, who is right now enjoying the best

420
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: month of his career production wise, averaging eighteen yards per game.

421
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 1: You look up and he's just it's thirty yard gain

422
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: after thirty yard gain after thirty yard game. We're talking

423
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: downstairs before we came up that It's almost like, if

424
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: you if the Patriots wanted to, they could target Gronk

425
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: twenty times and he could just be the most productive

426
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: player in the history of the tight end position by

427
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: a long shot. If he's not already that guy now.

428
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: But it's almost like a quiet agreement between the teams

429
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: and the Patriots that we will not rat you out

430
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 1: as long as you just keep the targets to about

431
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: seven or eight a game. I think, you know, I

432
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,239
Speaker 1: I see what, Dan. We saw the same exact thing

433
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 1: against the Steelers last week. When it's something when the

434
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh went in for a score that kept them close

435
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 1: late in the game, and then as if they finally

436
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 1: decided to say, you know what, let's teach Pittsburgh a lesson.

437
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and Legarrett Blunt and Robert Kowski just marched

438
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 1: down the field and like four or five plays and

439
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 1: score with these It was like an adult playing a child.

440
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 1: And you know what, we can mask all this is

441
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: what we want. But we're gonna go through a procession

442
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: of other games that are utterly meaningless because this team

443
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,439
Speaker 1: is going straight to the super Bowl and what was

444
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: your tweet alert? Three more days until the Patriots win

445
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 1: the give me a break, because we're talking about, oh,

446
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 1: can the Broncos hanging it? Well, they're gonna need to

447
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,199
Speaker 1: do a lot more to hang with this offense. The

448
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: way they're moving. Listen, I don't think anybody's disagreeing with you.

449
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: The Patriots, even Gregg Gregg doesn't want admit it, so

450
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,360
Speaker 1: he doesn't want of the reverse Jinx thing. But they

451
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: are by They're the seven. They have never been a

452
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: bigger favorite to come out of the APC them right now.

453
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily think it's great hash Jack canceled the

454
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 1: Patriots hashtag say football, But that's just where we are

455
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: right now. Do you guys want to hear what Gronk

456
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: had to say about touchdown sixty nine? Sure, let's hear it.

457
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: Maybe give a shout out to my mom too, because

458
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 1: the first thing yesterday we should we sat down. I

459
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 1: saw her. She came to my hotel. What everyone who

460
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: shot down? She goes, Rob, I'm so proud of you

461
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: when you score your sixty nine touchdown. So I was like,

462
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 1: I gotta give her a shot out now for sure

463
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: for letting me know. That's about his verbos. As you'll

464
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: see or hear, Rob, I love that little giggle. He's

465
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: like he's a little boy. He's a little boy, a

466
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: little unstoppable boy. So yeah, just again, um, one thing

467
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:08,239
Speaker 1: I will say, the slight regression is coming. I don't know,

468
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: it couldn't be going worse for you right now, except

469
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: couldn't accept the l It couldn't. It could not be

470
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,439
Speaker 1: going worse. But again, everyone's geniuses in the moment and

471
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: then everything can change two months from now. So just

472
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: hanging there. The other part, the one thing I didn't

473
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: take into account, and I will say this, I acknowledge

474
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,439
Speaker 1: this much. I didn't realize the a f C and

475
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: really the NFL is gonna be so watered down this year,

476
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 1: which is definitely playing playing in. Brady's stats are inflated

477
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: by a water down in it. What kind of conspiracy

478
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 1: are spinning here? A terrible, a terrible conference is He's

479
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 1: got a passer rating of one thirty three point nine.

480
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: His rates stats are better than his two thousand seven.

481
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 1: I know, but I'm saying the competition is just not

482
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: there and it's playing into his dominance. I could not

483
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 1: disagree more. Okay, well that's fine, but I'm telling you

484
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: that's what's going It's not the truth. I mean, I couldn't.

485
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: I totally see the f C is watered down, but

486
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: they could be could be. I have great teams and

487
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 1: they have seen and Tom Brady, the Patriots and Mo

488
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 1: right through all of them. Many A teams this year,

489
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: but Tom Brady doesn't Bills are who he's playing. The

490
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: Bills were a good defense, I don't think the Bills

491
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: can talk about being one of the best. They shot

492
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: down Jacob I. I don't think they can talk about

493
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: being one of the better defenses in the league after

494
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: the last two weeks. I'm I'm more concerned that the

495
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: picked on today right the way they gave up that

496
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: lead to Miami and then you know, just getting drugged

497
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: like this. You're not in a top level. You just

498
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: got stamped for two hundred yards rushing last week by

499
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: a running back that was essentially made an active week

500
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 1: to week a month ago, and now you've been destroyed

501
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: by New England the second time in a row. They

502
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: need to come McCoy healthy. They're not. They're in it

503
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: there they need to. They're probably happy roughly with where

504
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 1: they are four and fourth and some things to build.

505
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: Next week they go to Seattle. Yeah, I mean, this

506
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: is an eight or nine one team. I mean, and

507
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's enough to keep Rex Ryan employed,

508
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: but that seems to be where they're heading. But the

509
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: Patriots are seven and one, and if everything holds through

510
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 1: this regular season season. There's no doubt in my mind

511
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 1: that Tom Brady should be the m v P here

512
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 1: because they say the same Patriots team got shut out,

513
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,919
Speaker 1: uh sixteen nothing when Brady didn't play, and then Brady

514
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,719
Speaker 1: comes on and they throw up. I just think, you know,

515
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: second year in a row they've stamped the Bills with

516
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 1: forty plus points. I mean, come on, I just think

517
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: it's worth noting the NFL season is long. He has

518
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 1: played four games in two thousand seven. They had a

519
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 1: ridiculous run. The first ten or eleven games. They were

520
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 1: absolutely a different team the last seven or eight. Last year,

521
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 1: at this time, we would have thought it was preposterous.

522
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: Everyone thought the Broncos were a total joke, that there's

523
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: no way they're going to take out the picture. It

524
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 1: happens like we don't joke, But we didn't think that

525
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 1: they were gonna be If he simmers down, they'll find

526
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: other ways to put up thirty points again. That's what

527
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: they do well. Last year was they were unstoppable. They

528
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,719
Speaker 1: were averaging about thirty eight points a game through ten weeks,

529
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: and then they had an unreal string of injuries that

530
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 1: involved their offensive line, their wide receiver corps, their backfield,

531
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: every area was injured and that hasn't happened yet this year.

532
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 1: But now you're getting point it could happen. You're getting

533
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,239
Speaker 1: Dion Lewis back. It's the opposite this year. They've been

534
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: very James White long season. That's all I'm saying. James

535
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: White dropped a wide open touchdown in this game, too,

536
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: would have been number five for Brady In this game,

537
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 1: there was a um uh for an object thrown onto

538
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: the field in this game. I don't know how much

539
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: more we can say about it. A foreign object thrown

540
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: onto the field almost hit um Kevin Hope. It was

541
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 1: a pink fallas Yeah, something like that person throwing and

542
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,679
Speaker 1: maybe why do they don't need anymore? Apparently this is

543
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 1: that it was a buffalo, correct, right, it was the

544
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:38,439
Speaker 1: Chris I just threw it at Chris Hogan, like if

545
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna leave, we're gonna throw uh Chris Hogan revenge. Wait?

546
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 1: How many how many yards did that have to be

547
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 1: chucked to get on the field. It appeared to well,

548
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 1: if you watch the replay, it didn't come straight down

549
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 1: from the stands. It appeared to bounce and come almost

550
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: laterally into the future. At no point this season have

551
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 1: has Mark West and I huddle the round a computer

552
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: and watched a football play in slow motion. But the

553
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 1: second this happened, we were around there like it was

554
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 1: there a Prouder film. It was the best throw by

555
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 1: the Bills all day. All right, one, Let I want

556
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: to double back to the previous game. We should have

557
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: touched on a. Wade Phillips, son of Bum got run

558
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:22,399
Speaker 1: over on the sideline, uh in the Denver game today

559
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,880
Speaker 1: and was actually carted off the field taken to the hospital.

560
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 1: Gary Kubiak said, up to the game while the tests

561
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,679
Speaker 1: everything checked out, and uh, they anticipate him rejoining the

562
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: team shortly. Great news, because we love the son of Bum.

563
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,400
Speaker 1: Here at the Round the NFL Podcast, Let's move on

564
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: to a inter conference matchup Outer showing Gwitz they're gonna

565
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 1: bring to Vante David Card throws cat Seth Roberts. Fine

566
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: text writers, I walk off from Seth Roberts to win

567
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 1: the game. I see you a Little debby Greg Papa

568
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 1: kg MZ. Black Jack del Rio strikes again. With time

569
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 1: running out in overtime and the Raiders facing a fourth

570
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: and fourth from near near midfield. Jack del Rio put

571
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: the ball in the hands of his young star quarterback,

572
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,199
Speaker 1: and Derek Carr did not disappoint, connecting with Seth Roberts

573
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: and a walk off touchdown, securing a thirty to four win.

574
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,439
Speaker 1: A thriller. Greg Rosenthal, the Red Raiders said an NFL

575
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 1: record with twenty three penalties and still won the game

576
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 1: their five and oh on the road? Are you a

577
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: believer in the Silver and Black, baby, I'm a believer

578
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 1: that they can make the playoffs. I'm not a believer

579
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: that they're one of the best six or seven teams

580
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: in the league. Oh, but they're exciting, aren't they? Greg?

581
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: They are? This is Al Davis if he if he's

582
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: watching this somewhere, he could He couldn't be happier to

583
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: set an NFL record in penalties in the same game.

584
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 1: You throw for five and thirteen yard thirteen years you

585
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: pushed the ball down the field. This is the most

586
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: old school Raiders win possible. Do you do you believe

587
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: that they're uh late game magic is predictive or do

588
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: you believe it's mostly been luck? Is it repeatable? I

589
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: think it can carry you through one season. Yes, that

590
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: you have some mojo that you feel that that you're

591
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 1: able to win these games late. I don't think it

592
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: means you're a great team. The Bucks are not good.

593
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 1: The Bucks were dominated in this game for the last

594
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 1: three quarters. The Raiders should have won this game before.

595
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: I know. I love that they lost to a team

596
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: that right that that this game should have been over

597
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: in terms of the Raiders winning it much longer before

598
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: it was. I mean luck. But they're also taking risks

599
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 1: when other teams do not, so I I factored that

600
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: in and it well, that's exactly right. It comes from

601
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 1: their coach deciding. You know, the league, the league's coaches

602
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: are incredibly conservative. When you go play a video game

603
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: or something, you you could say with your front we

604
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 1: don't even punt all game. There's no punts. We're gonna

605
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 1: do whatever comes up. The league's coaches couldn't be anymore

606
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: the opposite. It's so it's an absolute huge standout story

607
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: when one guy decides to go against the grain. It

608
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 1: shouldn't be, but it is. At that point in the

609
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: game there, like I said, near at midfield at that point, uh,

610
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: facing fourth and four, enough time maybe to get a

611
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:15,719
Speaker 1: three and out, getting the ball back and take one

612
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 1: more shot. At it, I would guess I would just

613
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: throw it out there. Twenty twenty to twenty three of

614
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: the NFL coaches would punt that ball or made to

615
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 1: give Janikowski a shot at a sixty yard or even

616
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: even if Janikowski had missed two from fifty and regulation

617
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 1: many of the twenty three coaches, that's an interesting I

618
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: think fewer. I think this call was almost as gutsy

619
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: as going for two to win it, because if you

620
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: don't get that fourth and four, Bucks are gonna blow down.

621
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 1: They were confident that they could stop the Bucks, but

622
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: the balls at midfield and you have a couple of

623
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: minutes to get go twenty yards and try to set

624
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: up a game, win a field, go So that that

625
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: was a really gutsy call, and he has loved it.

626
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 1: He has a great sense of his team because he

627
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: did punt earlier in that overtime uh and it was

628
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: the absolute right decision. He pinned the Bucks back. They

629
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 1: got a three and out when they could have gone

630
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: for it and at that point and he just pushes

631
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 1: all the right buttons. Yeah. Khalil Mack. Pro Football Focus

632
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 1: had him with two sacks, three hits and ten total

633
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 1: hurries in this game. I think we said this in

634
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: the off season, but who's got a better young trio

635
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: for a nucleus than Derek Carrmari Cooper and Khalil Mack

636
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: Greg Maybe we spoke a little too soon taking shots

637
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,479
Speaker 1: to Kalil macbeing in the Sunday Night Chat. It's more

638
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: that he's just not a name name brand going into

639
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 1: the game. Yeah before the Sunday Night game, the Oh

640
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: Sunday Night song. Everybody knows pro at two different positions, right,

641
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I think heading into the season, he's certainly

642
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 1: who you'd put on the SNF promo. But then their

643
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: defense has been you know, suspected best. I like it

644
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 1: when teams kind of fall to their level. The Bucks

645
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 1: didn't deserve to win this game. They did score fourteen

646
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: points in the fourth quarter. They deserve a little credit

647
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 1: for making a comeback, but they were out gained. This

648
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 1: is why five to one fifty after they took a

649
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 1: tendant to nothing lead. Is this Bucks team any better

650
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: than they were under Lovey Smith. I understand they have injuries,

651
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: but I mean similar This is an unwatchable team on

652
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: many levels. A lot of pressure guys on your vikings

653
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 1: to deliver on Monday night. Well, actually, Dan, you know, yeah,

654
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 1: this is why I could care less. Someone tweeted this

655
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: and me and I just wrote back yawn, because Dan's

656
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 1: tendency to just create controversy. Dan, you voted for the Vikings,

657
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: so it's on you if you aren't happy with what

658
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: you did. It's not on us. We don't need to

659
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: prove anything to you or anyone else. And they are there,

660
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: Roberto Guyo, this is an extra point here. This thing

661
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: is probably over in regulation, Kings money. It's it's interesting

662
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: that you voted for them and within ten minutes you're

663
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 1: an absolute turncoat versus being a team player on the

664
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: decision we made. It's revealing. It's it's interesting to see

665
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 1: you see. Our podcast is like the w W E

666
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 1: and you're just the marionette, you know, pulling the puppet strings.

667
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: I will not apologize for some fun on the show. Guys.

668
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 1: Dan is the Vince McMahon of our podcast. Uh, I'm

669
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: you know, the Vikings, you know, deliver because the Raiders

670
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 1: are saying we deserved it. Guys, Well, let's have the

671
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 1: Vikings play the Jaguars and Buccaneers back to back and

672
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: see how that goes, all right, let's say we're down Mark,

673
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 1: it's just the al buddy. All right, let's move on

674
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: fourth and two from the ten yard live. Here's Wilson

675
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: throwing the faith and when it's going to be caught

676
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: but out of the engine, Curse couldn't bring it in.

677
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 1: Put two feet down and the Saints have won this game.

678
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 1: It wasn't pretty, but the Saints defense gotta stop when

679
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: it counted. Most On Sunday, Russell Wilson's final past sale

680
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: just out of bounds and the Saints hung out for

681
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: a twenty five to twenty win at the Superdome. Greg. Hey, Greg,

682
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: there was a lot of twittering going on during and

683
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 1: after this game about the officiating. How big a role

684
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: did it play in there? That was big? The Seahawks

685
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: had some calls going against him. I don't think it

686
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 1: was warranted. The fifty tweets I got just mentioning something

687
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: good that the Saints did in this game. I mean,

688
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 1: there are there were a million plays the Seahawks could

689
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 1: have made to win the game that they didn't make,

690
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 1: So that that had nothing to do with the officials, right,

691
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:24,760
Speaker 1: tell us more? I think, uh Saints offense, what happened

692
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 1: to mark Ingram. Mark Ingram got benched early in the game.

693
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,839
Speaker 1: He's not playing well. Tim Hi Tower runs hard. I

694
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: think the Saints have made a really smart move the

695
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. They're trying to limit possessions. They're

696
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: trying to have long drives, short passes, run the ball.

697
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,720
Speaker 1: Each team only had nine possessions. Here kept the Saints

698
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,760
Speaker 1: defense off the field. They were very efficient. They scored

699
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:51,800
Speaker 1: six straight possessions. I know it's only twenty five points,

700
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,800
Speaker 1: but they play a different sort of arena league style

701
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 1: type of game. It's like, you gotta limit the possessions.

702
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 1: You gotta score every time the ball you have the ball.

703
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,840
Speaker 1: They did that six straight times, and they deserve to

704
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 1: win this game. It seems like Thomas Sneydon cooks like

705
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: last week, all got involved again. They did, and Richard

706
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: Sherman had a big penalty in a big spot and

707
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: Seahawks fans are honking about that, and that was an

708
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 1: after fans honking. I was an absolutely deserved penalty on Sherman.

709
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 1: When they finally showed a better replay a couple of

710
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 1: minutes later, uh, it was a you know, the Saints team,

711
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:25,840
Speaker 1: I feel like they're not out of I feel like

712
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: they're not out of it. Look at you, Greg, Yeah,

713
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,800
Speaker 1: but let's see that you're getting sucked in because again,

714
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 1: in their building, they can hang with almost any team

715
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 1: and they will probably win at least half the games

716
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: at home, and maybe it will go five and three,

717
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: but they're gonna go too and six or worse outside

718
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,360
Speaker 1: their building. I just do the math. That's that's the

719
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: way this team is. It's a bad defense, but I

720
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 1: think the offense is so good that they have a chance.

721
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: They played against Kansas City last week and I thought

722
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 1: they outplayed him for the most part. That's a tough place.

723
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 1: They looked like an absolute playoff offense against Kansas City.

724
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: I mean, but are we concerned about Seattle's offense officially

725
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 1: at this point or is it No? They'll be fine.

726
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: You know, we're entering week nine and you know you

727
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: you you score six points against Arizona, you put up

728
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 1: twenty against one of the worst defenses in the NFL.

729
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: I would say as of mid season it's a concern,

730
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 1: but we still think they're the heavy favorites to win

731
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,760
Speaker 1: at division and by the time the playoffs roll around,

732
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: you would expect Russell Wilson to have some of his

733
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: mobility back. Yeah, that that hurt him today. They weren't.

734
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:26,839
Speaker 1: They haven't been able to really establish Christen Michael now

735
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. I think he's running fine,

736
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 1: but the running game just isn't working. It's not a

737
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 1: great sign when Tanner McAvoy is hitting your biggest pass play.

738
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:35,799
Speaker 1: What about c J. Pro Sie. He must have hit

739
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:37,839
Speaker 1: a pretty good game. He he caught that pass from

740
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: Tander McAvoy who threw him a forty five yard er.

741
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:44,240
Speaker 1: I mean that's great, But like, for instance, Russell Wilson

742
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: last play of the game, Jermaine curse some people you know,

743
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: questioning that play call. He's got him right there, one

744
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 1: on one coverage against b W Webb. Give him a

745
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,399
Speaker 1: chance to make a play, not a great throw if

746
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: they if he makes that throw, they win the game.

747
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,359
Speaker 1: And we're talking about the go Go Saint. I mean,

748
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 1: connor Or talked about Procise as a mixture between Levy

749
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: on Bell and Percy Harvin, a combination poor man's Harvin

750
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: and Bell. That is interesting. Um. By the way, the

751
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 1: call Jim Henderson w w L that's a great JAP

752
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 1: freeze out ole Hendo in a big spot. Um, all right,

753
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,280
Speaker 1: let's move on, and you want to go to London

754
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,320
Speaker 1: one last time? Guys, Oh yeah, let's go to London

755
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: one last time. This will be a thirty four yard

756
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 1: field goal attempt to win it for the Redskins. Good snap,

757
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 1: good hold, kicks on its way and over and it

758
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 1: is no good Why to the left and we will

759
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 1: continue with two oh nine to play here and over time.

760
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:49,359
Speaker 1: That was Tom McCarthy and some random fat guy w

761
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: t e m espn uh lur own. Dustin Hopkins missed

762
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,839
Speaker 1: a thirty four yard field goal attempt and you just

763
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 1: heard with less than three minutes to play in overtime,

764
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 1: and that would be the closest either side got to

765
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 1: breaking the deadlock in the final period. When time ran out,

766
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 1: the Redskins and Bengals had played to a twenty seven

767
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 1: twenty seven tie. At I was gonna say historic Wembley Stadium,

768
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 1: but just a little bit of inside onto England, a

769
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 1: place I've never been. They tore down the old Wembley.

770
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 1: This is new Wembley Stadium, is it? So it's not historic?

771
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 1: It's not historic, historic name same place, but yeah, it's

772
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: like met MetLife was built in a parking lot across

773
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,800
Speaker 1: from Giant Stadium. Wasn't that No one's calling it his story?

774
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,919
Speaker 1: Maybe Yankee Stadium. That would have been a good historic metal.

775
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 1: It is the second tie in as many weeks in

776
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 1: the NFL. Go figure and Greg Dustin Hopkins. Yes he

777
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: blew it, but he wasn't the only kicker wearing the

778
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 1: gold horns in London, No, your boy the News, former

779
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 1: second round pick Mike Newton, former second round pick still

780
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:57,280
Speaker 1: in the league, missed the field goal, missed an extra point,

781
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 1: Both kickers, you know, both teams can feel like it

782
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 1: was their kickers fault, but I think the fact that

783
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 1: the Redskins moved the ball so well and Kirk Cousins

784
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 1: shut me up, Uh yeah, out playing Dandy Dalton by

785
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 1: a significant amount. This was not a good time for

786
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 1: Dalton to have what I think was his worst game

787
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:20,720
Speaker 1: of the season, a lot worse than than the stats show.

788
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 1: And Cousins has been playing a lot better the last

789
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 1: month after after a bad first month of the season.

790
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 1: Big breakout season for Jamison Crowder in the slot there too.

791
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 1: Every game he makes one or two killer plays and

792
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 1: it's been going on all season. It's wild to think

793
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:38,320
Speaker 1: that this team with the Shan Jackson and Pierre Garson

794
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 1: is really built now around Crowder Vernon Davis. And now

795
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 1: that Jordan reads back, Jordan read, they're winning games with

796
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 1: Crowder Davis and Chris Thompson and and I fault John J.

797
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 1: Gruden here for setting up that kick. Okay, take us

798
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 1: through a Greg. You were fired up about this when

799
00:39:55,960 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: had happened. Second and four you got Robert Kelly, fat

800
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 1: Rob as his friends call him. His team calls him

801
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: Fat Rob, great nickname. Love it does he feel about that?

802
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 1: He likes it. I think it goes all the way

803
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,440
Speaker 1: back to remember when the Texans kicker kicker was Fat Randy. Yeah,

804
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 1: Fat Rob's terrific. It reminds me also of Black Rob

805
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 1: who had the classic like Woe great tune. We're allowed

806
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 1: to reference artists anymore. So Second and four in overtime,

807
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 1: Kelly is steamroll in this Bengals defense. They've been on

808
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:32,279
Speaker 1: the field the whole overtime, the end of regulation because

809
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,359
Speaker 1: Dalton couldn't move the ball at the end. And what

810
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: do they do. They just have Kirk Cousins on second

811
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,360
Speaker 1: down go backwards into the side to set up a

812
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 1: third down field goal. Why not try to score a touchdown?

813
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: Why not run the ball a couple of times? I

814
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 1: think they would have won the game. Remember, you play

815
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 1: to win the game. Well, it's funny when you're funny

816
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 1: that West brings up Herm Edwards because the famous and

817
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: Jets lore two thousand four playoff game at Hines Field, Herm,

818
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 1: instead trying to get the ball closer uh in overtime,

819
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 1: settled for a Doug Brian forty six yard field goal

820
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 1: which hit the goddamn crossbar. Uh and the Jets eventually

821
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 1: lost that game. But here's the thing. That was a

822
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 1: forty six yard in a hind seal. This is thirty

823
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 1: four yarder. But what is the problem. You gotta put

824
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:17,879
Speaker 1: that through the upright, all right? What is more like

825
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: your big boy Probert Kelly knowing the situation and fumbling

826
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:24,839
Speaker 1: the ball right there, or you missing that field goal?

827
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 1: I think it's a lot higher that you're missing the

828
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 1: field goal. And who do you want to leave the

829
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,280
Speaker 1: game up to? How about your offensive line that's getting

830
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 1: it going. At the end of the game, they were

831
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:35,919
Speaker 1: moving the ball. Seeing as this is an international game,

832
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: do you guys, uh want to hear something that happened

833
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 1: after the game with a German sideline reporter caught up

834
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 1: to uh, Dustin Hopkins. This was interesting, Dustin Hopkins, What

835
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 1: went wrong by the kick? First of all, I'm just

836
00:41:49,200 --> 00:42:00,360
Speaker 1: discussed that that happens for my guys. Take us happened

837
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 1: in Redskins B B R flak saw Dustin Dustin Hopkins

838
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,799
Speaker 1: get uh, you know, taken to the side by this

839
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 1: German sideline reporter and raced let's listen to it one

840
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 1: more time now that you have a little context, raced

841
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:16,800
Speaker 1: over to Dustin Hopkins, shut down the interview, pushed the

842
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,839
Speaker 1: German reporter, and then the reporter just threw it back

843
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 1: to the studio and in a stunned moment, the studio

844
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 1: cracked up. The good composure there from the reporter pretty good,

845
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:31,240
Speaker 1: Dustin Hopkins. First of all, I'm just discussed that happens

846
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 1: for my guys kind of interviews. I really recommend checking

847
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 1: out the clip because the studio show looks like a

848
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:47,720
Speaker 1: lot of fun. A total plays on Dan's Twitter account.

849
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 1: He sent it out if you wanted to look. In fact,

850
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 1: I I did an end around post on an NFL

851
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 1: dot com slash end around and uh, and their show,

852
00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,799
Speaker 1: whatever that show is, immediately followed me and thanked me.

853
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 1: Apparently that's like a fun kind of I don't know

854
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 1: what it is. Apparently Germany has a television show about

855
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 1: the NFL. That might have been the show that showed

856
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 1: my tweets last week that somehow our listeners from Germany

857
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 1: said some show in Germany was showing my tweets from

858
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 1: the Jeff Fisher game. I'm a big fan of Germany. Right,

859
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 1: gott an else any other content you two would like

860
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 1: to out set up and backslap yourselves about. I haven't

861
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 1: seen anybody that over eager on a football field since

862
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 1: Jeff Triplett was racing to flag somebody for celebrating. Uh,

863
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 1: yeah it's fair and yeah, so the Redskins pr guy

864
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 1: was pissed. Also pissed Josh Norman, who's a T eight.

865
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:38,880
Speaker 1: I gotta know, I just gotta know who's official a

866
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 1: T A. He sucked. I'm just gonna be honest with you.

867
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be straight for he was terrible. I feel

868
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 1: like he should be recommended. I feel like somebody plays there.

869
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 1: It was going on out there. It was just I mean,

870
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 1: it was terrible. This is how I'm feeling and how

871
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 1: the team feels right now. So speaking on their behalf

872
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:56,839
Speaker 1: and need to be watched and recommended, they repommend us.

873
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 1: So how come what's what's what's the recommended for them? Oh,

874
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:02,799
Speaker 1: somebody's gonna get reprimanded. And you know, I mean Josh

875
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 1: Norman Gregg. What was that about five penalties in this

876
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 1: game by Josh Norman? He wasn't happy arab dropped interceptions? Right?

877
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:12,439
Speaker 1: If a J if Andy Dalton threw the deep ball

878
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 1: better in this game, a J. Green could have gone

879
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 1: for about two twenty five, putting it overtime. If a J.

880
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:19,360
Speaker 1: Green comes down with a pass, they're they're they're cooking.

881
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 1: But he couldn't the best receiver in the NFL. This Ye,

882
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 1: why do we the ref the ref numbers? I mean,

883
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 1: talk about something that has zero holding ability? Does anyone

884
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 1: remember any ref by the number they wore? Did these

885
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 1: guys have like the ref jerseys at home in a frame?

886
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:38,920
Speaker 1: Hey look at me nine one like kim me he's

887
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:41,959
Speaker 1: a best seller. Uh, let's move on, guys. More Inner

888
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 1: conference action. Oss Wylder takes a low snap, He handles

889
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:47,799
Speaker 1: pocket holes, he throws, and he finds a why don't

890
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 1: tuckling target c J. For Dorley's talk thought of his

891
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 1: backside at the base of the t and Texans for

892
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:57,360
Speaker 1: a touchdown, and furiously spikes the ball as the Texans

893
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 1: get the first score of the game. Six nothing twelve

894
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 1: have a second quarter. Yes, The Houston Texans bounced back

895
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 1: from an ugly primetime performance in Denver, getting two touchdown

896
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 1: passes from brock Osweather or maybe one. I'm gonna check

897
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 1: my work on the fly right now, guys, it was

898
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:16,880
Speaker 1: single touchdown, single touchdown past that one, the one you

899
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 1: heard to c J. Fedora Witz in a win over

900
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions. Mark Sessler, Houston is a flawed team.

901
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 1: We have a lock of the week that didn't go well.

902
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:32,800
Speaker 1: Who had this one? Well, Sunday has been an absolute

903
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 1: horror show, So it must be me, was it? Mark? Yes? Okay?

904
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:40,320
Speaker 1: Mark alright outside the lock of the week problem. Houston

905
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 1: the flawed team, obviously, but they righted the ship against

906
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:46,759
Speaker 1: the frisky Lions group. Yeah, you know, and they took advantage.

907
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know. This is a stop gap

908
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 1: win for a Texans team. That's their home fans who

909
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:54,359
Speaker 1: have seen nothing but five and oh at home might

910
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 1: think differently, and that's nice for the ownership to have

911
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 1: five wins in your home stadium. But you said it, Dan,

912
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:01,960
Speaker 1: this game is full of flaws. But what did not

913
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:04,240
Speaker 1: happen in this game, which we've seen with the Lions

914
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 1: which has made the Lions exciting, is that final attempted

915
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 1: to come back by Detroit fell flat. Matthew Stafford was

916
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 1: not on his game. Today's second half drives after a

917
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:17,320
Speaker 1: field goal to start the second half, punt punt, punt,

918
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 1: miss field goal and the game ends on downs in

919
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 1: Houston territory. They couldn't get it done. And I think

920
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:28,439
Speaker 1: you know Houston Texans defense A J. Boyer another great game,

921
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 1: played well last week, did a good job today along

922
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:34,720
Speaker 1: from alongside Jackson in the secondary, and they shut down Detroit.

923
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:37,879
Speaker 1: Where Detroit made plays despite their faults week after week

924
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 1: in the past. Did not happen on Sunday. How did

925
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:43,479
Speaker 1: the Texans offense look two hundred and neither team top

926
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 1: three hundred yards, which is a rarity in the NFL.

927
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 1: Two hundred and sixty nine yards against uh what Football

928
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:52,799
Speaker 1: Outsiders had as the worst defense in the NFL, the

929
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:54,880
Speaker 1: Detroit line, I I would say that they did not

930
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 1: take advantage of the match up the way that you know,

931
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 1: going in fantasy wise and otherwise, as you might think.

932
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 1: You don't have a single receiver top forty four yards.

933
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins had to make some you know, acrobatic catches

934
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:08,759
Speaker 1: to even get to forty four yards. Will Fuller went

935
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 1: out early with an injury. That takes away part of

936
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:15,360
Speaker 1: your offense. You know. With with Detroit, you also sorry

937
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 1: with Houston. They get They ended up with a hundred

938
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 1: and five yards on the game, but early rushing, but

939
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 1: early on they could not get the ground game going

940
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 1: and brock oswoiler continues to make the same head scratching,

941
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 1: baffling throws that he did all season. Don't let this

942
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 1: game fool you or to win. They they have a

943
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 1: major issue at quarterback, as Dan wrote about in end

944
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:38,280
Speaker 1: Around last week Around the NFL backslash end Around beautiful.

945
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 1: I loved it. My Friday column, Mark nailed at their

946
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 1: Oswaller baby steps though six point four yards per temph

947
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,920
Speaker 1: on Sunday doubled his yards per at tempt from his

948
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:52,880
Speaker 1: previous game. That's progress, baby, I don't know A J.

949
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:55,400
Speaker 1: Boyer is not the only breakout player on the Texans,

950
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:58,959
Speaker 1: C J. Fedora with very productive the last five weeks,

951
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:00,960
Speaker 1: one of the I would say the most productive tight

952
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 1: ends not named Robert Rob Gronkowski. About that, Greg, you

953
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:06,320
Speaker 1: like that? Well? They needed I like a little Fedora.

954
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:08,279
Speaker 1: Its bomb, you know what I'm talking about. He was

955
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 1: compared to grunt coming out of Iowa two. I don't

956
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:14,440
Speaker 1: know what you're talking about, Dan, you know what you

957
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 1: like him? Do you think he's a member of the

958
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:20,879
Speaker 1: tribe is I don't know. I don't know. I don't

959
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:24,240
Speaker 1: know anything about its background, but uh, you know the tribe.

960
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 1: You know, if it's a tribe member, I'm sure you'd

961
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 1: be happy about that. Sure, I mean, I have that

962
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:30,680
Speaker 1: I always try to get I want to see because

963
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:32,480
Speaker 1: I have a lot of Jewish friends and like that.

964
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:36,239
Speaker 1: They're excited, usually about the pro athlete that's Jewish succeeding.

965
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:37,840
Speaker 1: But I can't really get you in this boat. It

966
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 1: seems I was a big Mike Rosenthal fan, former right

967
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 1: tackle of the Minnesota Vikings. Great player, who is the

968
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:49,759
Speaker 1: greatest Jewish American athlete in professional sports history? To you

969
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 1: in your lifetime, Greg Hank Greenberg, gotta be up there

970
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:54,440
Speaker 1: Sandy Kofax, certainly in your life has to be in

971
00:48:54,480 --> 00:49:01,839
Speaker 1: the mix. Gabe kapler Um, Right, anything else from this game,

972
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:05,879
Speaker 1: I mean it's another team. You let's get excited about

973
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:07,400
Speaker 1: a five and three team in the a f C.

974
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:09,959
Speaker 1: And I'm not going to continue to beat this drum

975
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 1: week after week. But I mean massively flawed. Give them

976
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:15,799
Speaker 1: a little bit of credit their five and oh at home. Well,

977
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 1: I mentioned that, and that's what I said. The owner

978
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 1: will loves that dynamics the home that if you're if

979
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:22,399
Speaker 1: you're a Houston fan and you're actually watching the rest

980
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 1: of the games around the league, you're very concerned. If

981
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 1: you're just gonna go buy your ticket in Sidney, Houston,

982
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 1: watch him go five and oh, you're having a nice

983
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 1: time so far. I mean, this team, this division is

984
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:32,840
Speaker 1: getting one playoff team. They're five and three. They've been

985
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:35,480
Speaker 1: outscored thirty points and they're five and three. I think

986
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 1: that comes back actually to a good organization, too good

987
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:41,360
Speaker 1: coaching that there, even when they're bad, they just find

988
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 1: a way that they're they're okay at least. I feel

989
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 1: like the South is God, but just a little bit

990
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:53,399
Speaker 1: speaking of but it's the butt Bowl profits Patrick looks left,

991
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 1: now looks over the middle, fires a bullet half the

992
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:57,919
Speaker 1: ten yard line, breaking at tackle in none one, he's

993
00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 1: at the five. Great just for the call on Hey said,

994
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:04,359
Speaker 1: that's a Jet touchdown. What a catch and run by

995
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:07,720
Speaker 1: Quincy and Nunua. And the Jets opened the third quarter

996
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 1: with exactly what they had to have a touchdown drive

997
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:14,799
Speaker 1: and they're a point after away from pulling within six.

998
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:17,920
Speaker 1: That is, Bob was shoosing of w E p N

999
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 1: ninety eight point seven ESPN Jets Radio. Quincy and Noon

1000
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 1: kicked off a big comeback for the Jets, who rallied

1001
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:26,440
Speaker 1: back from a double digit halftime deficit and kept their

1002
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:31,160
Speaker 1: faint playoff hopes alive with a thirty win over yes,

1003
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:34,400
Speaker 1: the still winless Cleveland Browns now oh and eight. Mark Sessler,

1004
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 1: the Browns are fairly dominant in the first half here.

1005
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:41,040
Speaker 1: They had a seven lead before everything flipped. What happened here, well,

1006
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:42,880
Speaker 1: I think Cleveland at their best is a team that

1007
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:45,960
Speaker 1: has learned to play for about thirty minutes and thirty

1008
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 1: minutes well, and then you don't have the players or

1009
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:52,280
Speaker 1: the star power to really hang with the team, even

1010
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 1: like the Jets that once Ryan Fitzpatrick, who threw for

1011
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:57,840
Speaker 1: thirty yards in the first half, and they the defense

1012
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:00,400
Speaker 1: absolutely clamped down on New York's past and game, and

1013
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:02,399
Speaker 1: it was concerning. Had they had someone that you want

1014
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:04,840
Speaker 1: to replace Fitzpatrick with, maybe you do it. He looked

1015
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 1: that bad. But in the second half of noon, Whall

1016
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:10,000
Speaker 1: especially who I think is one of the young players

1017
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:11,560
Speaker 1: in New York on offense, one of the few that

1018
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 1: you can say you can build around. It's an overpriced

1019
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:16,920
Speaker 1: aging roster. He's a young guy that you can latch onto.

1020
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:20,360
Speaker 1: Played very well. And it's another week where Cleveland Secondary

1021
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:24,080
Speaker 1: got utterly fried. When it mattered, New York made plays

1022
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:27,160
Speaker 1: in the second half and dominated the final thirty minutes. Yeah,

1023
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 1: the Jets scored touchdowns in their first three possessions of

1024
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:32,719
Speaker 1: the second half, taking the lead and never letting go.

1025
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:35,960
Speaker 1: The Rounds had uh a touchdown of a few seconds

1026
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:37,879
Speaker 1: to go that al Michaels would have loved it. After

1027
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:41,919
Speaker 1: the point conversion to cover. Well, you're supposed to hint

1028
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:44,319
Speaker 1: at it, well, and that's why I'm not al Yeah,

1029
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:46,839
Speaker 1: I'm here with the exactly. Well, you know, it's tough

1030
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 1: to be out. Nobody can be. But anyway, so yeah,

1031
00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:52,480
Speaker 1: the Jets, they really uh they got it done here.

1032
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:54,600
Speaker 1: And yeah, and what's been a tough season for New

1033
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:58,719
Speaker 1: York Uh Quincy and Nona, Leonard Williams and when he

1034
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:01,040
Speaker 1: was healthy, Darren Lee. Those are the three positives for

1035
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:06,000
Speaker 1: me and Uh, I think West, I think we should

1036
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:09,800
Speaker 1: check in my old man on that oak absolutely stood.

1037
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 1: His name is Keith, don't doubt about it. He's a

1038
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:24,280
Speaker 1: big Jets fan. What is he gonna about the team today?

1039
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 1: What is he gone? Let's say the game today, jests,

1040
00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:34,080
Speaker 1: wee gate jests came out of the gates terribly sleepwalking

1041
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:38,080
Speaker 1: once again. I'm now playing terrible on defense and offense.

1042
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:42,279
Speaker 1: Down seven and a half second half? What did it play? Great?

1043
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:45,400
Speaker 1: Offensively and defensively. They saught it to look like the

1044
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:48,879
Speaker 1: team that we thought they were gonna be. Uh sorry, Mark,

1045
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:52,360
Speaker 1: one of us had to go, all right, thanks by

1046
00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:55,400
Speaker 1: my old man Dad. One of us had to go.

1047
00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 1: One of those Keith hands has has these turns of

1048
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 1: phrase that I don't really hear from any other person. Uh,

1049
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:06,040
Speaker 1: and he could be a sitcom uh star with some

1050
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:08,120
Speaker 1: of us starts. So one of us had to go, Mark,

1051
00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:11,279
Speaker 1: it was you. Yeah, I mean it's was I not

1052
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 1: already gone? Well, how describe your your level of gone

1053
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:21,080
Speaker 1: after this? After this game, I I have not listened.

1054
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:22,759
Speaker 1: I don't. I think people hear too much about the

1055
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 1: Browns on this show. I I am not attached to

1056
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:26,799
Speaker 1: the result week tweek because I think went into this

1057
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:28,920
Speaker 1: season having to not be You knew it was going

1058
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:32,000
Speaker 1: to be an ugly season. It is ponderous when your

1059
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:35,839
Speaker 1: favorite team gets lashed week after week. You know, if

1060
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:38,239
Speaker 1: you're a normal person and you just work a different job,

1061
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:40,560
Speaker 1: you turn off the television and you want you take

1062
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:43,320
Speaker 1: a six walk, you know, blocked block walk up to

1063
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:45,239
Speaker 1: the dive bar and you say goodbye to all this.

1064
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:47,279
Speaker 1: But if you're here, you have to sit and stew

1065
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:50,320
Speaker 1: in your own juices and everyone's commentary for the next

1066
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 1: nine hours as you have to be excited about the

1067
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:58,440
Speaker 1: San Diego Chargers playing the Broncos. I mean, it's just

1068
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:01,520
Speaker 1: an absurd set up. It's a tough spot all right now.

1069
00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:04,400
Speaker 1: I mean, and again, this is a sandwich between the

1070
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:06,400
Speaker 1: Cals winning the title and the Indians, who by the

1071
00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:08,720
Speaker 1: end of tonight could be World Series champions. The Browns

1072
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:11,560
Speaker 1: halfway to own sixteen, and you look at the schedule

1073
00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:15,160
Speaker 1: home to Dallas, at Baltimore, home to Pittsburgh, home to

1074
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:17,920
Speaker 1: New York. You know, everything is up in the air.

1075
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:19,759
Speaker 1: I think there was a site that said that the

1076
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:22,279
Speaker 1: Jets game was their best chance to win. I mean,

1077
00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:24,440
Speaker 1: if you're O in eight, the the the NFL so

1078
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:26,640
Speaker 1: watered down that it wouldn't be surprising to get a

1079
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:29,080
Speaker 1: winner two at some point. But you can't look at

1080
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 1: the schedule and say that's the win. You're O and eight. Yeah.

1081
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:35,719
Speaker 1: Do you think Josh McCown should be the quarterback or

1082
00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:39,840
Speaker 1: should they go with Kessler? I'd rather see. Well, I

1083
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:43,279
Speaker 1: they're very different. They the game plan with McCown is

1084
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:44,920
Speaker 1: to throw the ball deep, and he can do that,

1085
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:47,320
Speaker 1: and I think that might be better once Corey Coleman

1086
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 1: cuts back and they're actually gonna try to win some

1087
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:52,960
Speaker 1: of these games they can, and then Kessler deserves more

1088
00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:55,160
Speaker 1: starts and I'm sure he'll get them there. We probably

1089
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:58,200
Speaker 1: haven't even seen the final two or three starting quarterbacks

1090
00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:00,280
Speaker 1: that at this point or sitting on a couch somewhere

1091
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:02,560
Speaker 1: in America. They've had seven different players play quarterbacks. Just

1092
00:55:02,600 --> 00:55:04,960
Speaker 1: the fact that Josh McCown got through this game is

1093
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:07,319
Speaker 1: a quality thing, but it was crazy. This was I mean,

1094
00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:09,359
Speaker 1: Jets were getting fried in this game and the game

1095
00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:12,520
Speaker 1: just turned on a dime and Cleveland could not move

1096
00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:16,480
Speaker 1: the ball on offense. But there was one turning point, uh, Mark,

1097
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:18,919
Speaker 1: I thought Tarrell Prior, right after the Jets took the lead,

1098
00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:21,560
Speaker 1: beat Reeves, who had another tough game. Although it's tough

1099
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:25,120
Speaker 1: for anybody to cover Tarrell Prior, uh and Josh McCown

1100
00:55:25,160 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 1: missed him on a deep route. It could be a

1101
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:29,200
Speaker 1: different game if he hit step. Yeah, one final thing

1102
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:32,080
Speaker 1: and I feel like, you know, we get we get it.

1103
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 1: With Darrelle Revis, it's been it's been pounded on week

1104
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:36,799
Speaker 1: after week, but he learned today what a lot of

1105
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:40,480
Speaker 1: cornerbacks have that Terrell Prior is still learning certain nuances

1106
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:42,839
Speaker 1: of the position, still as the occasional drop, but when

1107
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:45,160
Speaker 1: he's on, he's dominant and no one can touch him.

1108
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:48,200
Speaker 1: And Reeves was absolutely victimized by him over the first

1109
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:50,959
Speaker 1: two quarters and it was kind of depressing watching Vas

1110
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:53,319
Speaker 1: having to give him, blanket him and give him, you know,

1111
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 1: room to Terrell Prior room to get the catch initially,

1112
00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:57,719
Speaker 1: just to try to shut him down because he can't

1113
00:55:57,719 --> 00:55:59,880
Speaker 1: compete one on one with him. I likened Rievs to

1114
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:03,960
Speaker 1: late period Andre the Giant matches or to see a legend.

1115
00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:07,480
Speaker 1: And the comments that he had uh this past week

1116
00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:11,400
Speaker 1: really bothered me, where he told Newsday Kimberly Martin that

1117
00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:14,359
Speaker 1: his body was breaking down and hey, listen, I'm thirty one.

1118
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:16,280
Speaker 1: What can I do? I don't know how Terrence Newman

1119
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:18,080
Speaker 1: does it. You're supposed to be a leader, dude. You're

1120
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:20,680
Speaker 1: not supposed to be like making excuses for your terrible season.

1121
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:22,520
Speaker 1: And it sounded like to me that a guy that

1122
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:25,319
Speaker 1: was one ft out the door got his what last

1123
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:28,480
Speaker 1: big contract and is now gonna let this mediocrity wash

1124
00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:33,560
Speaker 1: wants to restructure his contract every single season, he's incredible, pride,

1125
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:36,359
Speaker 1: slash something else, and he's not handling it well. That guy.

1126
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:40,040
Speaker 1: I love Rebus, but what he's what he's done this season,

1127
00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:42,480
Speaker 1: both on his plays and these comments. I mean, at

1128
00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:44,360
Speaker 1: this point, I'd be surprised if he's on the Jets

1129
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:50,000
Speaker 1: next year. I think guaranteed they gave him. Yeah, he's

1130
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:52,800
Speaker 1: got thirty seven million coming to him one way or

1131
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:54,640
Speaker 1: the other. And I don't know, you know, those comments

1132
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:56,520
Speaker 1: made me think, I don't know if the lights still on.

1133
00:56:56,560 --> 00:57:00,120
Speaker 1: Passion wise, we'll see. Let's move on one. You're to

1134
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:02,320
Speaker 1: your point on prior. He's going to be the highest

1135
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:04,719
Speaker 1: paid player on the Browns next year, isn't he. Yeah,

1136
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:06,920
Speaker 1: because they're gonna have the franchise dagon or pay him

1137
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:08,800
Speaker 1: ten million dollars. They will. And the other thing is

1138
00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:11,480
Speaker 1: they're they're obviously getting rid of anyone else who's high

1139
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:16,400
Speaker 1: priced and over the age of twenty. Is uh, Joe

1140
00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:19,680
Speaker 1: Thomas on the team on Wednesday? I think he is, strangely,

1141
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:21,760
Speaker 1: but it sounds like, you know, the reports today that

1142
00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 1: Joe Hayden could be shopped, and Greg suggested in a

1143
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:27,400
Speaker 1: piece last week that he winds up with the Saints.

1144
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:30,640
Speaker 1: That wouldn't be the weirdest thing. Alright, Let's move on another.

1145
00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:33,240
Speaker 1: A f C matchup full steps up from the pocket,

1146
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:38,560
Speaker 1: fires it for the endown touch five, hanging on touchdown City,

1147
00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:43,040
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey finds the end zone has Nick Foles puts

1148
00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:45,520
Speaker 1: it right on the money into the hands of the

1149
00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:50,360
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl tight end. Travis Kelsey settled down. You don't

1150
00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:52,840
Speaker 1: like that, you know, like the excitement just settled down.

1151
00:57:54,440 --> 00:57:57,040
Speaker 1: We're almost done. Mark nick Foles stepped in for an

1152
00:57:57,040 --> 00:57:59,360
Speaker 1: injured Alex Smith on Sunday and played like an all pro.

1153
00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:03,160
Speaker 1: Let him have his fun mark two touchdown. He already

1154
00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:06,760
Speaker 1: had it, throwing two touchdowns, including that one to Travis

1155
00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:09,400
Speaker 1: Kelsey you just heard while posting a passerating north of

1156
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:12,280
Speaker 1: one thirty five is the Chiefs rolled to a thirty

1157
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:17,080
Speaker 1: fourteen win over the suspect Colts. The call there, Mitch

1158
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:21,560
Speaker 1: Holness of Casey f X Chris Wessling. The Chiefs always

1159
00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:24,360
Speaker 1: seemed to take care of business when they should. Yeah,

1160
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:27,720
Speaker 1: this on a day when Alex Smith was concussed and

1161
00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:30,400
Speaker 1: Spencer Ware got knocked out of the game and they

1162
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:33,240
Speaker 1: still dominated. Andrew Luck had a poor game. He wasn't

1163
00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:36,280
Speaker 1: protected well, sax sick time six times, lost a fumble

1164
00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:40,360
Speaker 1: through a bad interception, and I think give Greg Rosenthal

1165
00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:45,960
Speaker 1: credit here, Oh Rosie, Tyreek Hill played like a superstars

1166
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:51,240
Speaker 1: were debating, Well, you were telling me, you know, slow

1167
00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:54,440
Speaker 1: down on the Tyreek Hill as the first exciting rookie

1168
00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 1: to watch, and I would take Ezekiel Elliott over here.

1169
00:58:57,080 --> 00:58:59,240
Speaker 1: And you were saying that he hasn't been featured as

1170
00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:02,040
Speaker 1: a vertical guy. Is a shorter guy, but today is

1171
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:06,960
Speaker 1: a vertical guy. He maybe he's legit. Alex Smith said

1172
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:10,240
Speaker 1: he wanted to go downfield to Tyreek Hill. I think

1173
00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:12,720
Speaker 1: it's weird to go downfield to a five ft seven guy,

1174
00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:14,720
Speaker 1: or however toll he is. But he's got some ability.

1175
00:59:14,800 --> 00:59:17,320
Speaker 1: The NFL is different now. I don't think he could

1176
00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:20,360
Speaker 1: survive twenty years ago. But he's one of those space

1177
00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:23,200
Speaker 1: players that you that you talk about on and his

1178
00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:26,800
Speaker 1: movement is like a young Darren Spoilser, someone even a

1179
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:30,120
Speaker 1: little different than that. His movements just insane. Wes, you

1180
00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:32,760
Speaker 1: once did one of your top ten's top ten satellite backs,

1181
00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:36,120
Speaker 1: didn't you. I believe I did. Yes, you sure did, Buddy.

1182
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:38,160
Speaker 1: I think I just wanted to write about Dion Lewis

1183
00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:40,680
Speaker 1: that week. Yeah, who could be on the horizon. I've

1184
00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:43,840
Speaker 1: got some bad news for you, Dan, You you've been

1185
00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:46,800
Speaker 1: drumming up this okay pathway to five and five for

1186
00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:49,560
Speaker 1: the Jets, right yeah, okay, you got your win against

1187
00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:52,800
Speaker 1: the Browns. You got a couple of winnable matchups coming up.

1188
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:55,600
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe they get there. We got a situation here

1189
00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:57,439
Speaker 1: in the a f C South, a f C West

1190
00:59:57,520 --> 01:00:00,400
Speaker 1: right now, we got three teams six and two two

1191
01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:03,600
Speaker 1: six and two or five and two. We got some

1192
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:06,120
Speaker 1: good teams in the a f C West. No, it's

1193
01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:08,240
Speaker 1: a problem. Might not be, you know, get into five

1194
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:10,000
Speaker 1: and five, might still have you a couple of games

1195
01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:11,920
Speaker 1: back in the what's that? What is that? A here?

1196
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:16,480
Speaker 1: That's the Jets pulse right now, there's a pulse. I

1197
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:18,680
Speaker 1: know they are. They are far out of the mix.

1198
01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:23,120
Speaker 1: I'm saying this. I'm saying this. A f C West

1199
01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:26,280
Speaker 1: is a situation right now. These teams are good six

1200
01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:29,560
Speaker 1: and two Raiders, six and two Broncos, and this Chief's

1201
01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:32,520
Speaker 1: team who's won three straight. It's a good team. I mean,

1202
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:34,680
Speaker 1: it's not an exciting and the Chiefs have the tiebreaker

1203
01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:37,200
Speaker 1: on the Jets. It's not good. I need the Chiefs

1204
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:40,320
Speaker 1: to totally collapse. This game, to me is a match

1205
01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:42,160
Speaker 1: and have to win nine games. Yeah, I mean there's

1206
01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:44,280
Speaker 1: the other side to this. This this game to me

1207
01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:46,880
Speaker 1: as a matchup Chiefs colts of two gms and coaching

1208
01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:50,240
Speaker 1: coaches that were hired around the same time, and one

1209
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:53,400
Speaker 1: GM and coach John Dorsey and Andy Reid are far superior.

1210
01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:55,840
Speaker 1: Well said. And you know, I I get Andrew luck

1211
01:00:56,000 --> 01:00:57,880
Speaker 1: is the best player in the a f C South,

1212
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:02,400
Speaker 1: but I would put my chips in with either a

1213
01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 1: Texas team that's much better coach with Bill O'Brien or

1214
01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:07,760
Speaker 1: a Titans team that actually seems to be jelling to

1215
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:11,160
Speaker 1: some degree where there Andrew look again, sacks six times.

1216
01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:14,360
Speaker 1: It's he's on the run every game, he's taking a beating,

1217
01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:17,240
Speaker 1: and you're asking one guy to be an entire football team.

1218
01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:20,200
Speaker 1: You know how Mark, the Packers annoy you. They're one

1219
01:01:20,240 --> 01:01:22,160
Speaker 1: of those teams that bother you. That's how I feel

1220
01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:25,560
Speaker 1: about the Colts. I can't stand him and watch them.

1221
01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:28,760
Speaker 1: I don't care about them. They're just a team wasting

1222
01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:32,080
Speaker 1: generational talented quarterback because they don't have their stuff together.

1223
01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:34,880
Speaker 1: They're not a true player in their conference. There they

1224
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:37,480
Speaker 1: might limp to another a f C South title, or

1225
01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:39,400
Speaker 1: they might collapse and go seven and nine or six

1226
01:01:39,480 --> 01:01:41,560
Speaker 1: or ten. Either way, to me, this is not an

1227
01:01:41,600 --> 01:01:45,080
Speaker 1: interesting team and they gotta figure some stuff out. No,

1228
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:50,280
Speaker 1: that's fair, Dog said, Well, let's move on, which takes

1229
01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:57,840
Speaker 1: us to Sunday Night Football. Sunday Night, a Sunday night

1230
01:01:57,880 --> 01:02:00,800
Speaker 1: game in which the Dallas cow Boys had a ten

1231
01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:04,440
Speaker 1: point deficit staring back at them in the fourth quarter

1232
01:02:04,480 --> 01:02:09,080
Speaker 1: against the Philadelphia Eagles, Dak Prescott not playing well. Twitter

1233
01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:11,840
Speaker 1: starting to buzz about Tony Romeo on the sideline. But

1234
01:02:11,920 --> 01:02:15,320
Speaker 1: guess what, Dac wasn't done yet. Neither were the Cowboys.

1235
01:02:15,600 --> 01:02:18,840
Speaker 1: They reel off ten points in the final period unanswered

1236
01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:22,240
Speaker 1: uh to tie the game. A Dez Bryant touchdown catch

1237
01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:28,120
Speaker 1: the big play took him to overtime first possession. Cowboys

1238
01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:31,760
Speaker 1: go down the field, convert on fourth and one in

1239
01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:35,160
Speaker 1: a major onions moment, get down to the goal line,

1240
01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:43,480
Speaker 1: and then this happens. Elliott in the backfield. Prescott throws

1241
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:50,960
Speaker 1: flide open Jason Witton to win the game. Friendly fire

1242
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:56,480
Speaker 1: got the Philadelphia go They collide on Jason Witton wide

1243
01:02:56,520 --> 01:02:59,960
Speaker 1: open for the game winner. The game winner to Jason Witten.

1244
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:06,520
Speaker 1: Final score, Oh, a huge Cowboys win. Mark Sessler, you

1245
01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:09,400
Speaker 1: watched it all, the third straight overtime game on Sunday

1246
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:14,080
Speaker 1: Night Football, and the star was the Cowboys. Yeah. I mean,

1247
01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:21,720
Speaker 1: once again, who was that? That was grotesque? Not fitting

1248
01:03:22,120 --> 01:03:24,440
Speaker 1: for the game we just saw. I I love what

1249
01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:27,440
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are all about and the way they climbed

1250
01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:30,200
Speaker 1: back into this game and Ezekiel Elliott and the way

1251
01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:32,160
Speaker 1: this team is built. This is the class of the

1252
01:03:32,240 --> 01:03:34,600
Speaker 1: NFC East, and you know the whole game, you're watching

1253
01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:38,160
Speaker 1: Twitter heat up with these clowns saying Dak Prescott one

1254
01:03:38,200 --> 01:03:40,880
Speaker 1: bad game, you're out of there. How about this. I

1255
01:03:40,920 --> 01:03:43,720
Speaker 1: love the way Jason Garrett believes in his players, and

1256
01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:45,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna stick with Dak Prescott. You don't bench him

1257
01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:47,640
Speaker 1: right now? This team has built a certain way and

1258
01:03:47,640 --> 01:03:50,640
Speaker 1: you keep riding it. We gotta fired up Sessler yelling,

1259
01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:55,080
Speaker 1: don't bury Dak. What's absurd? He said, He's a phenomenal

1260
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:57,800
Speaker 1: rookie season, unlike something we've seen in a long time,

1261
01:03:57,880 --> 01:04:01,440
Speaker 1: and in one shaky stretch to quarters, has a lot

1262
01:04:01,480 --> 01:04:04,000
Speaker 1: to do against the phenomenal Eagles defense, and people want

1263
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:06,240
Speaker 1: to bury the guy. It's ridiculous. I don't know if

1264
01:04:06,280 --> 01:04:09,760
Speaker 1: it was a very situation. And I think though knowing

1265
01:04:10,160 --> 01:04:12,600
Speaker 1: that who the Cowboys are, knowing who their owner is,

1266
01:04:13,080 --> 01:04:16,280
Speaker 1: knowing Tony Romo being involved, and knowing the media, it

1267
01:04:16,400 --> 01:04:19,280
Speaker 1: was going to be a long week this week. Uh,

1268
01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:21,320
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys I think are influenced a little bit

1269
01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:23,560
Speaker 1: by the media as well sometimes. And I think if

1270
01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:25,720
Speaker 1: he would have struggled and his passer rating was hovering

1271
01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:28,240
Speaker 1: around fifty or so, midway through the fourth quarter. If

1272
01:04:28,280 --> 01:04:30,480
Speaker 1: they went down at home with Romo ready to come back,

1273
01:04:30,480 --> 01:04:32,880
Speaker 1: who knows what happens. He has a throw in the

1274
01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:36,120
Speaker 1: red zone as they're going in to tie the game

1275
01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:39,400
Speaker 1: that the Eagles have a chance to intercept and they

1276
01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:42,520
Speaker 1: drop it, And you're right, how like narratives and seasons

1277
01:04:42,560 --> 01:04:44,680
Speaker 1: can change on plays like that if they intercept that

1278
01:04:44,760 --> 01:04:47,160
Speaker 1: past the story is that kind of came up small

1279
01:04:47,200 --> 01:04:48,840
Speaker 1: in the big moment, and I'm so glad it didn't

1280
01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:51,920
Speaker 1: happen that way because this was a great gut check moment.

1281
01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:54,360
Speaker 1: We kind of saw what this Cowboys team was all about,

1282
01:04:54,520 --> 01:04:57,640
Speaker 1: especially in overtime going for it on fourth down. That's

1283
01:04:57,640 --> 01:05:00,919
Speaker 1: why Jay Gruden, you should keep running the ball when

1284
01:05:00,920 --> 01:05:03,000
Speaker 1: you're trying to win the game in overtime because you

1285
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:05,760
Speaker 1: can go win it. Forget the field goal kickers. But

1286
01:05:05,840 --> 01:05:08,280
Speaker 1: what kind of onions were those hung by Jason Garrett

1287
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:11,919
Speaker 1: going for that? It was especially continuing you got Dan bad?

1288
01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:19,600
Speaker 1: What kind of onion? What Brandon Giant sweet Spanish onions

1289
01:05:19,600 --> 01:05:23,240
Speaker 1: are good? And a red Zeppelin is a big red onion.

1290
01:05:23,960 --> 01:05:26,960
Speaker 1: I'll go to the Zeppelin's on that one. You passed

1291
01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:29,720
Speaker 1: out a forty eight yard field goal to go win

1292
01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:33,760
Speaker 1: the ball game. Lock it up? Said, oh, oh, we

1293
01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:36,840
Speaker 1: locked it up. West, I did lock up this three

1294
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:38,360
Speaker 1: and one locks of the week this week. That is

1295
01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:41,400
Speaker 1: by far the best. And I like that that Dac

1296
01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:43,760
Speaker 1: won this game on I mean, wasn't that a m

1297
01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:46,280
Speaker 1: Tony Romo play if you ever saw one? The reverse

1298
01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:49,240
Speaker 1: spin kind of running backwards, looks like the past archer's

1299
01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:51,640
Speaker 1: gonna get him. And then oh what, magically there's just

1300
01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:54,480
Speaker 1: Dason Witten sitting in there adjacent went all the North

1301
01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:58,440
Speaker 1: Texas housewives. I got the vapors Jason Witt and wins

1302
01:05:58,520 --> 01:06:03,000
Speaker 1: the game, my hero. This was the thing with you

1303
01:06:03,240 --> 01:06:10,080
Speaker 1: during the while we were watching this. I mean, I

1304
01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:13,480
Speaker 1: don't even enjoy doing the show anymore. And there's a

1305
01:06:13,520 --> 01:06:15,480
Speaker 1: lot to do with Sydney, and there's a lot to

1306
01:06:15,480 --> 01:06:18,520
Speaker 1: do with Greg and Dan and West. It's an absurd

1307
01:06:18,600 --> 01:06:20,960
Speaker 1: Why am I here at nine eleven at night. I

1308
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:25,280
Speaker 1: could be at my house enjoying real life, but I'm

1309
01:06:25,360 --> 01:06:28,920
Speaker 1: here to get interrupted every five minutes by our producer. Wow,

1310
01:06:31,640 --> 01:06:37,240
Speaker 1: don't apologize now, that means nothing, Sorry said, We're all

1311
01:06:37,280 --> 01:06:40,400
Speaker 1: getting it today. It's your turn. It just felt incomplete,

1312
01:06:40,400 --> 01:06:43,800
Speaker 1: you know, there was a hole. I'll show you incomplete

1313
01:06:48,240 --> 01:06:51,640
Speaker 1: now we got HR online one. All right. Back to

1314
01:06:51,680 --> 01:06:55,280
Speaker 1: the game, all right, the Eagles. Tough loss with the Eagles, though,

1315
01:06:55,320 --> 01:06:59,800
Speaker 1: because you are um endpoints on the road, you have

1316
01:06:59,840 --> 01:07:01,600
Speaker 1: the game in your hands. Would have been tied for

1317
01:07:01,640 --> 01:07:03,320
Speaker 1: the division, league, would have had a chance to be

1318
01:07:03,360 --> 01:07:06,800
Speaker 1: a top that division tied, and the the NFC East

1319
01:07:06,920 --> 01:07:09,040
Speaker 1: wide open as we know. But instead you put the

1320
01:07:09,080 --> 01:07:11,680
Speaker 1: Cowboys in the driver's seat. It hurts on a lot

1321
01:07:11,720 --> 01:07:15,640
Speaker 1: of different levels. Weird weird sequence I think by the

1322
01:07:15,640 --> 01:07:19,720
Speaker 1: Eagles in the fourth quarter, they are in position for

1323
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:22,560
Speaker 1: a field goal. They do the play where they have

1324
01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:25,480
Speaker 1: the receiver throw the throw it down the field. That

1325
01:07:25,520 --> 01:07:29,080
Speaker 1: doesn't work. Then you throw it backwards on a I

1326
01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:31,560
Speaker 1: think that was supposed to be a screen pass. Six

1327
01:07:31,680 --> 01:07:34,000
Speaker 1: yard loss that puts them out of field goal range.

1328
01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:35,640
Speaker 1: Although they could have tried the field goal if they

1329
01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:39,080
Speaker 1: wanted to there and they punted away. That that sequence

1330
01:07:39,160 --> 01:07:41,040
Speaker 1: really killed him and Wentz had you know, Wentz had

1331
01:07:41,080 --> 01:07:42,760
Speaker 1: his chances late in the game. He ends up four

1332
01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:45,280
Speaker 1: point seven yards per tend. He was fine, but their

1333
01:07:45,360 --> 01:07:47,560
Speaker 1: offense is not good enough. I have a question about

1334
01:07:47,600 --> 01:07:50,560
Speaker 1: their approach. Sorry, Dan, Like the you have thirty two

1335
01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:55,160
Speaker 1: completions for Wentz at four point seven yards per attempt.

1336
01:07:55,680 --> 01:07:59,520
Speaker 1: They do do they either not trust him in this

1337
01:07:59,560 --> 01:08:02,360
Speaker 1: game to throw the ball down field based on who

1338
01:08:02,360 --> 01:08:05,520
Speaker 1: they have in personnel, or was it simply this is

1339
01:08:05,520 --> 01:08:07,560
Speaker 1: how we're going to pick apart Dallas. It was effective

1340
01:08:07,600 --> 01:08:09,760
Speaker 1: for a large part of the game, but in the

1341
01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:11,959
Speaker 1: end there's no big play. I think their trade talks

1342
01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:13,920
Speaker 1: for Tory Smith tell us a lot about who they

1343
01:08:13,920 --> 01:08:16,320
Speaker 1: have going downfield right now, and they're not happy with it.

1344
01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:19,000
Speaker 1: Like the way you think it was perfect, it was working.

1345
01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:21,720
Speaker 1: They were out working for what they wanted and the

1346
01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:25,559
Speaker 1: defense basically blew it. And if they just execute there,

1347
01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:27,880
Speaker 1: even if they play conservative, run it a couple of times.

1348
01:08:28,520 --> 01:08:31,839
Speaker 1: But referring to that sequence you talked about, you're probably

1349
01:08:31,880 --> 01:08:34,719
Speaker 1: lining up for about a forty five forty six yard

1350
01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:36,559
Speaker 1: field goal. If you don't get much out of the

1351
01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:38,920
Speaker 1: two runs, you burn the clock a little bit more

1352
01:08:39,240 --> 01:08:40,960
Speaker 1: and you make that kick that puts them up two

1353
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:43,760
Speaker 1: scores again and the game's probably over. So you know,

1354
01:08:43,840 --> 01:08:45,840
Speaker 1: you gotta execute, especially against a good team. And the

1355
01:08:45,840 --> 01:08:48,240
Speaker 1: Cowboys are a good team, folks. They're a tough team

1356
01:08:48,280 --> 01:08:50,840
Speaker 1: and they get that the tone center is a rookie.

1357
01:08:50,960 --> 01:08:54,000
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott is one of the physically toughest running backs

1358
01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:57,360
Speaker 1: of this era. And look at what they overcame. They

1359
01:08:57,360 --> 01:09:00,439
Speaker 1: overcame a seventy three yard holding penalty late the game

1360
01:09:00,840 --> 01:09:02,960
Speaker 1: and never came a ten point swing going into halftime.

1361
01:09:02,960 --> 01:09:04,960
Speaker 1: When Dad through that interception, the Eagles came back with

1362
01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:07,200
Speaker 1: a field goal. That's not easy to overcome. Well, and

1363
01:09:07,280 --> 01:09:10,679
Speaker 1: people that want, you know, Dad to get deep six

1364
01:09:10,760 --> 01:09:12,599
Speaker 1: at some point here. You've got the Browns next week,

1365
01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:14,559
Speaker 1: so it's not happening. Then they could be Cleveland by

1366
01:09:14,600 --> 01:09:18,600
Speaker 1: thirty points. It does get interesting. You've got the Steelers, Ravens, Redskins,

1367
01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:21,360
Speaker 1: and Vikings the month after that. That will tell us

1368
01:09:21,360 --> 01:09:23,439
Speaker 1: a lot about this Cowboys team. But I don't see

1369
01:09:23,720 --> 01:09:25,839
Speaker 1: them as anything other than the class of a division.

1370
01:09:26,240 --> 01:09:28,439
Speaker 1: I also don't think there's too many people out there

1371
01:09:28,439 --> 01:09:31,040
Speaker 1: at this point, People like me that have Tony Roman

1372
01:09:31,080 --> 01:09:33,120
Speaker 1: on their fantasy team, maybe, but most people, I think

1373
01:09:33,200 --> 01:09:36,240
Speaker 1: see what's going on here, which is this is Dak's

1374
01:09:36,240 --> 01:09:38,439
Speaker 1: team and it just got reinforced on a night where

1375
01:09:38,439 --> 01:09:40,759
Speaker 1: it seemed like would be the well, except when things

1376
01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:43,000
Speaker 1: got tough tonight, it was interesting to see all these

1377
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:44,560
Speaker 1: people come out of the wood work would work with

1378
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:47,880
Speaker 1: a completely opposite sec. It's gonna keep happening too. I mean,

1379
01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:49,600
Speaker 1: that's just the way it is. Because Romo is a

1380
01:09:49,600 --> 01:09:52,160
Speaker 1: great quarterback. Because he's one of the best quarterbacks of

1381
01:09:52,240 --> 01:09:54,439
Speaker 1: the last ten years. It's not like it's some chump.

1382
01:09:55,040 --> 01:09:59,479
Speaker 1: Of course, it's no. I said, I thought it would

1383
01:09:59,479 --> 01:10:01,439
Speaker 1: be fun to see him go on a big playoffroun.

1384
01:10:01,520 --> 01:10:02,840
Speaker 1: This is a fork in the road game. Though you

1385
01:10:02,840 --> 01:10:05,439
Speaker 1: look at the NFC West standings, in the road the

1386
01:10:05,479 --> 01:10:08,080
Speaker 1: other team has. The other teams in the division now

1387
01:10:08,200 --> 01:10:10,680
Speaker 1: all have three losses. Redskins have three losses and a

1388
01:10:10,800 --> 01:10:13,240
Speaker 1: tie would have been a tie if the Eagles just

1389
01:10:13,320 --> 01:10:15,599
Speaker 1: finished this thing out. I mean, this really gives them

1390
01:10:15,680 --> 01:10:18,160
Speaker 1: a nice list. This is new to the glossary fork

1391
01:10:18,200 --> 01:10:19,840
Speaker 1: in the road game? Did the Falcons have a fork

1392
01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:22,600
Speaker 1: in the road game? Those at a wounded dog a

1393
01:10:22,640 --> 01:10:24,479
Speaker 1: lot of times it's a division game. It was a

1394
01:10:24,560 --> 01:10:27,439
Speaker 1: fork in the road game. Sure not to be confused

1395
01:10:27,439 --> 01:10:30,880
Speaker 1: at the four Committee sponsor US for company slow down.
