WEBVTT - 2023 Week 3 Preview 0:00:00.440 --> 0:00:06.520 They Around the NFL podcast feels like the game it's 0:00:06.559 --> 0:00:10.280 slowing down for them. From the Chris Wessel podcast video 0:00:10.320 --> 0:00:14.360 It's Around the NFL. I am Dan Hansi's heroes here, 0:00:14.400 --> 0:00:21.960 Greg Rosendal, Mark Sessler. It is the Week three preview show. 0:00:23.600 --> 0:00:25.960 I mean, isn't it funny? It's already starting to pick 0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:27.160 up momentum this season. 0:00:28.200 --> 0:00:30.600 I was waiting for the first time this season when 0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:33.520 Dan said, it just goes so fast. It just keeps 0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:36.040 going a lot does the season. We're here week one 0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:38.720 through twelve like a flash. 0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:43.600 Weeks thirteen through about seventeen eighteen literally feels like you're 0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:47.600 stuck in molasses, which is stuck within Quicksand yeah, I. 0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:51.800 Got our friend Wes used to always talk about you 0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:54.160 get into that sort of thick of November where it's 0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:58.080 like this feels a little bit like a you're walking 0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:01.160 through a dark forest. There are some longer days during. 0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:03.280 There are outliers like the man in between us is 0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:05.560 like every week's beautiful child. And I love football. 0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:08.360 I think Thanksgiving is big to get to, but then 0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:10.480 actually I do, I feel like I feel differently. 0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:12.880 Then it just feels like a downhill. So I'm with you. 0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:17.600 I think that that pre Thanksgiving November is when we grind. 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:22.200 In this week, let's go. They've done something uh slightly 0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:25.720 hazardous nine games in the early nine nine. 0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:27.520 I would like to balance it out a little bit. 0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:30.959 Yeah, and it's leading to another Sessler apocalypse. What a 0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:33.959 tough week for Mark. You have the first overall pick, 0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:35.920 which is always great because you get to pick any 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:39.840 game you want from the nine non prime time UH slate, 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:44.000 but it also gives you three early games, so the 0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:44.880 man who. 0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:46.880 And you can't really pick any game you want because 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:51.160 Shok has some games. It's uh your you have three 0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:52.480 games too. 0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:54.720 I don't even know what Shook has. I don't care 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:57.200 what Shook has. There's too much what does Shook have? 0:01:57.360 --> 0:02:00.320 Talk in this studio? What do you want to watch 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:01.080 on Sunday? 0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:01.800 That? 0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:03.480 No, I think that's the right way to look. 0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:06.600 My concern is, Yeah, you were talking about having an ear, 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:08.880 the earphone in each ear. 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:11.560 I'm watching two games three maybe. 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:13.840 What hat where do you put the third bud? 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:18.800 There is no human answer today. I have an idea. I, 0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:21.360 like I told the people behind the glass, I just 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:23.560 want to be taken out by bow and arrow, like 0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:25.840 Mid Mid game. I mean it's like, I don't you. 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:27.480 Know privately, I'm going to tell you where to put 0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:28.000 the third bud. 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:30.280 I can think of one place. 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:32.560 All right, we are going to get to the draft 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:36.280 again Wednesday show with Colleen wolf Banger. Check it out, 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:39.680 and we covered Giants at San Francisco Thursday Night Football, 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:41.880 which we will have tonight. Mark and I will have 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:45.360 the recap of that game Thursday night for you. We 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:49.600 already hit Pittsburgh Raiders Sunday Night Football, Eagles Bucks Monday 0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:53.959 Night and double Monday Night Sissler Rams Bangles. So let's 0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:57.880 talk now, Yes, all the Sunday non primetime content starting 0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:00.000 with Pick one and Mark Ceesler. And by the way, 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:02.960 one last thing we this program.

There's the plug, Mark the first overall pick. 0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:24.480 Does this show up on YouTube as well? I believe 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:27.280 it does. Yeah, and you can also on YouTube. But 0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:30.359 these are the options you have to watch us. 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:32.400 You don't really have an excuse not to check it 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:33.400 out visually. 0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:38.760 Got another tweet this morning, Hey, watching you guys on television. 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:42.560 Not what I thought you'd looked like. And again, never 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:44.960 a compliment, never a compliment. 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:46.160 We've jarred them some day. 0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:49.040 How about how about take the listeners if that is 0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:52.200 your impression, take the little comment, put it back in 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:55.560 your back pocket. Don't need it unless unless it's Wow, 0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:58.920 you guys, handsome, pial you know, for your age and 0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:02.120 everything and not that, and haters, you aren't popping the 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:06.280 pressures you face as fathers living in a major urban center. 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:09.120 Yeah uh. And and a career with a lot of 0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:12.400 pressure and eyeballs upon you, and it's it's always coming 0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:15.000 down on you, and there's always a practice and games, 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:15.600 and you're. 0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:18.640 Getting judged by your own like friends and family members. 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:21.240 Life made you, and you have a mortgage and your 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:23.080 dog maybe got hit by a car and maybe Aaron 0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:25.720 Rodgers Blue's achilles in the fourth play of the season. 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:29.039 It's gonna affect your physical appearance. Yeah, okay, it is 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:33.240 considered you're handsome. Once upon a time, maybe we were 0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:36.760 better looking, just younger. But Mark, when you got leve 0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:41.200 ion and you're living in Hollywood, maybe you're the exception. 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:42.000 I don't think. 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:46.000 So I look at it when I see video of 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:47.719 us from like three or four years ago, it's like, 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:50.960 what the hell happened in the last nine hundred thousand days. 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:52.880 Right now though, because we will see that video in 0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:54.920 three or four years and think, wow, we were looking 0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:55.560 pretty good back. 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:58.400 Yeah. The answer, by the way, what happened life in 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:02.520 a major urban center. That's right, It's just it's collapsing 0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:04.680 on you all right. Time now for the number one 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:07.559 Pick of the Week, presented by Draft Kings. 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:10.360 All Right, it is kind of a strange slate. I 0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:12.080 feel like this week it's the first one. I felt 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:14.400 like whether they're on like five or six, like ooh, 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:17.480 we're you gonna go with this? Like I have my fascinations. 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:21.920 I'm going Falcons. Who at Detroit Falcons are getting three 0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:26.120 points going into Michigan to try to battle the Lions. 0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:29.800 We talked a lot about the about the Falcons on 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:33.520 our NFL Plus Monday recap of their game with the Packers, 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:37.880 and this matchup to me is kind of fascinating because 0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:39.680 I was thinking about, like this the history of our 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:43.120 entire show, and like you had that Falcons Matt Ryan 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:46.760 super Bowl type team, but has Falcons Lions ever been 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:49.359 taken as the number one pick ever in the history 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:52.239 of our show. I don't think on any level. Probably 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:54.680 haven't played that often, but yeah, right, It's just like 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:56.520 it kind of tells you that a lot's changed for 0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:59.599 these two teams pretty quickly. And I think for me, 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:02.640 like what I want to watch is two things, like 0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:06.039 the growth of Atlanta's offense. Really, I feel like with 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:08.000 Jon Robinson, you have a bit of a cheat code 0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:11.520 where you're gonna produce every week. On the ground, he 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:14.599 looks about as unstoppable as any rookie running back that 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:17.560 I can recall, and he seems to his role is growing. 0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:20.800 We've seen his snap count jump up last week, as 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:22.919 it should, and I think, if you're like Tyler Algio 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:25.160 are still a very talented player, like your role is 0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:28.599 gonna diminish. I really trust them on the ground. I'm 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:31.560 a little concerned about Detroit's defense, like I thought in 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:34.120 Week one against the Chiefs held him to six points 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:36.800 in the second half. That probably lose that game if 0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:39.440 you don't have Kadarius Tony having a complete meltdown though, 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:44.120 and now you've lost CJ. Gardner, Johnson, James Houston, is out, 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:46.839 and even with James Houston, the pass rush has really 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:49.839 essentially been Aiden Hutchinson and not much else. They have 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:52.839 one sack on the season. That maybe not be the 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:56.800 biggest concern in this game because Desmond Ritter through the 0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:58.880 ball more than you'd think last week, like is a 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:01.400 real hot and cold operate. I think it's fair to 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:03.400 look at him and say he's a complete wait and 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:06.800 see under center and probably kind of like the one 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:10.720 factor that could sync that offense. But against last week 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:12.960 against Green Bay, they ran for four point seven yards 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:15.320 per rush and ran the ball forty five times, And 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:16.800 I just think if you can do that kind of 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:19.200 thing to Detroit or on a weekly basis, you're gonna 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:20.520 be in these games late no matter what. 0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:23.840 Yeah, it's a real test for this Lions defense, whether 0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:27.720 they've changed at all, because they were disappointing a week 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:32.880 ago and they are really banged up. It goes back 0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:35.400 to the whole pre can't can't lose anyone in the preseason, 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:37.280 like it'd be a tragedy, and then we start the 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:39.720 season like half these teams I feel like lost like 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:42.520 eight starters and the Lions are really high up there. 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:45.480 The Gardner Johnson injury, which we mentioned Monday night but 0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:48.720 we didn't linger on it is massive there at safety 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:52.280 really improve their team. They're hopeful he can maybe come 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:54.480 back at the end of the season with the tornpector, 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:58.440 which sometimes that works out, sometimes it doesn't. But beyond that, 0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:04.680 Taylor Decker is injured, Emmanuel Moseley, their their cornerback is 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:08.600 injured by Tie. Their offensive lineman who's who's kind of 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:11.440 a lynch pin who really improved things is out, and 0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:13.680 so there's just a lot of injuries that they're dealing 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:17.040 with throughout the roster. A mon ran So Brown is 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:19.080 missing practice, but I assume that's not going to be 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:22.880 like too serious. And I think they the Falcons, will 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:26.760 ask questions to your defense that other teams just don't. 0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:29.120 And yet I have my doubts that Desmond Ritter can 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:32.400 make you pay for the one on one matchups that 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:34.800 that Arthur Smith can create with some of those playmakers 0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:36.600 when they do throw the ball. But they did ask 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:39.480 him Danny last week to be a little different. That 0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:43.840 was the most aggressive Desmond Ridder passing game ever and 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:48.760 it was ugly and it was pretty great on a 0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:50.960 few throws too. He made some great throws and he 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:53.880 made some big mistakes, but they decided to put a 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:55.760 little more on his plate and it was way more 0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:58.240 of a roller coaster than other Desmond Ridder starts. 0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:00.320 Yeah, we got to take some off his plate. Yeah, 0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:01.840 I'd agree, And I think. 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:04.079 If people just look at the stat line, he'll be like, oh, 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:05.679 he was okay in that game, and maybe this room 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:07.480 for group, but he was dreadful in that game. He 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:10.520 hit some throws and had some a nice goal line 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:13.080 run for a touchdown, and so it wasn't like a 0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:15.400 total one of those wipeout games where there's nothing to 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:18.840 take from him. But he gave the Packers every chance 0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:21.600 to win that game with throws that were right in 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:25.280 the chest of defenders, a really suspect early red zone 0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:27.800 pass that was floating there for the taking. And I'm 0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:30.960 just curious. Didn't love Arthur Smith's game plan in week one. 0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:33.240 I didn't love it in game two a week two either, 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:35.000 just because of how much was put on the plate 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:38.400 of Ritter. And you have this guy now in Jean 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:41.240 Robinson that I want. I wish I could give the 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:45.120 credit to the person an X who put it out there, 0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:47.679 but they had that view that went around the viral 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:51.480 view of the from above of Bijon juking and spinning 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:54.640 and just putting anyone in his area in the blender. 0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:58.640 And this person said, this is what we thought Reggie 0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:01.840 Bush was to be coming out of college into the NFL, 0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:05.559 like this absolute dynamo. Rogie Bush had a fine NFL career, 0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:06.079 but the. 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:09.160 Top was like Fadrick, Reggie Bush was twenty five pounds 0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:10.040 heavier too, Right. 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:12.320 But just in terms of like this guy, it's gonna 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:14.920 what he did in college is gonna translate, and it 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:18.560 absolutely has. So I would like to see Desmond Ridder 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:21.560 putting better positions, throwing the ball less. And I know 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:23.160 it's not gonna be great news for some of these 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:27.640 pass catchers, but make this all Bijon with some more 0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:29.240 running game. I'm not saying like. 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:32.160 He had twenty he had twenty five touches last week. 0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:35.040 Right, Banco Moore, But just take a little off Desmond's 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:36.959 plate because I don't think he's ready for it. And 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:40.360 Arthur Smith obviously is confident enough to give him that 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:42.000 much of an assignment in Week two when he got 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:45.760 away with it by sheer luck. Quite honestly, they got 0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:48.240 away with how much was given to Desmond Ritter. I'm 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:51.960 interested to see what Arthur Smith puts on the quarterback's 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:54.280 plate after watching the game tape and seeing what happened 0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:54.920 from the sideline. 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:57.760 It's interesting because I think like one of the consistent 0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:01.760 frustrations for fantasy player or Falcons fans in generals, it's 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:03.800 like the Kyle Pitts thing, and like he and Drake 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:07.080 London last week combined for eight catches and two of 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:09.520 them were for Pits. London a year ago had one 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:12.720 hundred and seventeen targets. Now he had a drops issue 0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:15.160 and had only seventy catches. But it's like he was 0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:17.440 featured a ton last year and now they're in a 0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:19.840 situation where it's like I kind of am with you, 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:24.120 like have Ritter do less because it's such a variance 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:25.440 of what he's going to give you. And they're lucky 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:27.400 they didn't have two pick sixes last week, and that 0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:29.520 would have changed the whole way that game ended. 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:31.440 That one goal line setup. We talked about it on 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:34.280 the on the Monday Plus show, where you're asking Dozen 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:36.400 Murder to make passes and you're only giving bees on 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:38.720 the ball once give him the Rock by the goal line. 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:40.920 I could see that easier. I mean, do I feel 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:43.320 like Ritter seems to get law like down in those 0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:45.440 red zone that one sequence you talked about, We're just 0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:50.120 like missing Falcons wideouts high and by a lot like He's. 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:52.520 It's not what you'd expect with the weapons they have 0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:53.480 in the red zone. 0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:56.559 Yeah, I mean they're going to be a limited offensive team. 0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:58.719 They would ended up trailing in that game and had 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:02.120 to come back. I just think the Falcons defense is 0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:05.440 in better position this year to keep these games under 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:08.520 control in a way that they weren't a year ago. 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:11.880 But they haven't totally been tested either. I mean, the 0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:17.600 Packers were missing people last week and Week one they 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:20.400 got to play the Panthers. But I've really been impressed 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:22.800 with what Ryan Nielsen has done. Their new coordinator came 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:25.640 from the Saints, and all their pickups are working, Like 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:28.760 Onya mad has really made a big impact for them 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:31.960 at defensive tackle. Cayden Ellis has made a big impact 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:34.880 for them at linebacker. And this is a huge test 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:38.120 where the Lions offense really tests you in the middle 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:40.040 of the field. I know they're without David Montgomery, but 0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:43.120 to me, they still have enough weapons to make this 0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:46.120 an offensive type of game, and I think Atlanta's defense 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:49.400 is at least respectable enough now that they can keep 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:50.080 the score down. 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:50.959 This is a fun one. 0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:53.800 I had said that a few weeks back, Greg, if 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:57.800 the Lions came into this matchup undefeated, maybe some team 0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:03.680 of ATN run it back. They didn't do that, but 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:05.880 if they, if they spank, doesn't ryder in his little 0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:08.800 Adams maybe maybe still don't. 0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:11.760 Want anyone to be about they have not. 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:13.720 Running against the Falcons. I just want us to have 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:15.960 an open eyed look at what's going on with If you're. 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:18.079 The Lions, like you need to say this is a 0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:20.559 game we win, Like this year's version of the Lions doesn't. 0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:21.600 Should here and go one. 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:24.520 And feel a lot of team of atl momentum for 0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:26.079 for any team, it's possible. 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:29.920 Sometimes happened, or sometimes it takes until later. 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:32.199 Yeah. By the way, the over under on this game 0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:35.280 is forty six and a half fhy I. 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:37.400 That was the game of the week presented by Draft 0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:39.720 Kings Sports Book.

And I 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:08.520 find these two teams very intriguing despite their record. And 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:14.040 I have noticed that the Chargers offense is totally different, 0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:17.240 Like Keenan Allen is making plays deep down the field. 0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:18.920 When was the last time you saw that? 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:23.880 Twenty nineteen, twenty twenty, Like Herbert's adat you know, his 0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:27.160 average depth of target is higher than it's been throughout 0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:32.480 his career. They're third in offensive DVOA through two weeks. 0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:36.400 I think Herbert's taken some sacks in is taken a 0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:38.520 little while to process in spots. You'd love him to 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:41.800 make a little quicker decision. But they're last in defense. 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:44.040 So it's it's to me, it's all on the defense. 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:48.800 And this is a matchup where you think that the 0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:52.400 offenses are both gonna win. But I'm confident that the 0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:54.800 Chargers offense and I know that's going against Brian Flores 0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:57.040 and he's he's cooking up some new things here. 0:14:57.080 --> 0:14:59.720 But I like watching this Chargers offense so far. 0:14:59.800 --> 0:15:01.640 It's sounds like Austin Eckler is going to be back, 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:03.880 and I think the Vikings are going to have to 0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:05.400 score a lot to keep up. 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:07.720 In this one. By the way, Vikings minus won in 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:09.680 this game, so Vegasy is a close. 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:11.720 It just feels like the Chargers are going to be 0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:14.520 in these games that come right down to the end 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:17.160 and allowing teams like the same way that you know 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:20.240 Minnesota crawled back against the Eagles last week, because I 0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:22.960 think with Justin Jefferson, with their passing game in general, 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:25.640 they're just they're they're never too far away from like 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:28.200 making an impact, making a game close. And the Chargers 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:30.960 just opened the door to that. Like, I mean a 0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:33.640 week ago we were wondering if Ryan Tannehill's career might 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:36.080 be over, and he goes twenty for twenty, Well no, 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:38.480 but it was like he looked like off a cliff. 0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:40.640 But I always said that, Yeah, I guess I hadn't 0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:43.320 And you came into the season saying he's underrated, and 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:45.560 so we didn't even flip so fast. 0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:47.160 But it's like, I guess I'm more saying that the 0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:50.920 Chargers don't want to operate when your head coach is 0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:54.160 this defensive specialist, You're you're in year three. It's their 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:57.520 clear achilles and they just opened the door and allowed 0:15:57.560 --> 0:15:59.280 teams to get right on that side of the ball. 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:01.640 Well, the whole point to the Brandon Stalely defense, remember, 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:04.000 is that, oh, well, we prevent big plays. 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:06.520 Like That's the whole idea, the whole Vic Fangio thing. 0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:09.760 It's why there's articles written about the deep ball is 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:12.240 dead in the NFL, and it's basically because of the 0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:15.280 Vic Fangio defensive tree, of which Brandon Stalely is won. 0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:17.760 But who gives up more deep balls than any team 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:20.000 in the league. It's the Chargers. They're worse defending the 0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:21.960 past than any team. And this is a tough team. 0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:25.040 This Vikings team are better going deep than they've ever 0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:27.400 been because they don't just have Jefferson, they don't just 0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:28.240 as Osborne. 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:30.680 They now have Jordan Adison, who's a ballplayer. 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:32.360 Danny and I think there could be a lot of 0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:33.960 fantasy points here for the Vikings. 0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:36.880 I think the I think if you drafted Kirk cousins. 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:42.560 If you drafted justin Jefferson there is now we got 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:45.720 cam akers in the building. I don't know what they're running. 0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:47.840 I really need to see the Vikings running game. Well, 0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:51.200 nothing to see and if they can. I'm not out 0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:53.720 on the Vikings yet. I know that they're owned two 0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:57.160 as well, and but I think in their division they 0:16:57.200 --> 0:17:00.200 absolutely got can get back on their feet and be 0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:02.800 a player here. But they got to win this game, 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:04.760 and you've got to defend your home turf. It's a 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:07.359 really tough poll for the Chargers, and we mentioned that 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:10.600 letting both of those games slip away put you in 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:12.760 such a bad spot because Minnesota is not going to 0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:15.160 be a team that's going to be easy to beat 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:19.400 at home in this situation and owe to two team 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:23.919 at home need in the W that's mostly healthy, That 0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:27.760 is going to be a very difficult ask for the Chargers. 0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:29.800 I think Minnesota is going to put up a lot 0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:32.560 of points in this game. Now it's another test for Herbert. 0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:35.240 Herbert's going to be tested all season unless something changes 0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:37.640 here on Los Angeles' other side of the ball, where 0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:42.040 he's going to be asked to keep scoring, stay healthy, 0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:44.439 put up points every week, and yes, come up with 0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:46.199 some of these drives to bail out the defense and 0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:48.280 win some of these games late, which hasn't happened ye yet. 0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:50.320 And it's two weeks in a row where there was 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:53.720 another narrative where Justin Herbert comes out as the hero 0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:56.679 and it's not just him, but like they didn't answer that. 0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:58.720 They didn't answer it last week at all, and it's 0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:00.760 like there was a chance for just and Herbert's write 0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:02.800 a different type of story. I like the cam Akers 0:18:02.840 --> 0:18:05.120 pick up because because. 0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:06.800 It was free, it was eight round swap. 0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:09.000 I was just kind of thinking, like, who's gonna actually 0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:09.680 go after. 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:13.680 It's such a silly trade. It shouldn't be allowed a 0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:16.800 swap of late round draft picks in three years. Just 0:18:17.000 --> 0:18:18.040 who are you fooling here? 0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:22.520 It's just that the Rams don't have to like feel 0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:23.320 ashamed that they. 0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:25.359 Yeah, that's what I mean, don't waste their time, like 0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:27.840 we don't need. The insiders don't even sleep because the 0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:30.080 bosses tell them they're not allowed to miss any scoops. 0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:33.960 So you got rap sheet his wife, you know, shoving 0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:36.399 his shoulder at four a m. Yeah, to say, oh, 0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:39.199 there a trade just went down. Your your phone's blowing up. 0:18:39.520 --> 0:18:43.960 How about how about cam Akers? How about how about 0:18:43.960 --> 0:18:47.200 the Rams have to take the yel that because cam 0:18:47.240 --> 0:18:49.720 Akers did not what was it called again, the culture? 0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:55.080 Culture did not adhere to the culture in the Los Angeles. 0:18:55.240 --> 0:18:57.639 The Rams have a culture. You do not adhere to 0:18:57.680 --> 0:18:59.520 the culture, you must leave. 0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:02.600 Is that like less Sneed's assistant or something? Who's like 0:19:02.640 --> 0:19:06.359 who's it's mostly? But yeah, so I don't know, just 0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:10.040 stupid trade, go ahead, No I like it. Vikings thirty 0:19:10.040 --> 0:19:13.480 one yards against the Bucks, twenty eight on the ground 0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:16.520 against the Eagles, like and they said it wasn't a 0:19:16.520 --> 0:19:19.280 Alexander Madison like lack of confidence, Well it is a 0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:21.760 little bit, I mean bad, one of the. 0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:23.760 Worst backup running back situations in the lead. I mean 0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:25.439 the two of them will share, we'll see. Acres has 0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:28.600 been very up and down as a pro, but I 0:19:28.640 --> 0:19:31.280 think has always been a little overrated. 0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:35.160 Uh isn't it? Quickly? How how it changes? It went 0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:38.080 from all summer everybody being like, well, no, I'm not 0:19:38.080 --> 0:19:39.959 saying Dalvin Cook has been great shakes in New York 0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:41.640 so far, but it was like, oh, yeah, Madison, he'll 0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:44.960 be fine. And I know Dalvin Cook has average fifteen 0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:47.440 hundred yards from scrimmage for six straight years. But they 0:19:47.440 --> 0:19:49.359 got Madison. He's fine, and that happened. 0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:51.800 That line is brutal, and they were missing Christian Darrisaw 0:19:52.080 --> 0:19:54.640 just saying sometimes we just beside Dolphins. Riser, I think 0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:55.920 Dearisa's back for this game. 0:19:56.160 --> 0:19:56.879 I'm so with you. 0:19:56.880 --> 0:19:59.240 We do a little summer plug and play sometimes as 0:19:59.280 --> 0:20:02.320 analysts and in our industry, and it's like, well, we 0:20:02.440 --> 0:20:03.200 got to see. 0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:05.800 It, I mean, but we're also we're playing along with 0:20:05.880 --> 0:20:08.040 the whole thing because it's like we all know, realistically, 0:20:08.080 --> 0:20:10.200 you get to week three, half these rosters are shredded. 0:20:10.240 --> 0:20:12.840 So these people that you're talking about the. 0:20:12.840 --> 0:20:13.560 Team around him. 0:20:13.600 --> 0:20:16.720 And look, there's certainly no one in Minnesota that wish 0:20:16.720 --> 0:20:19.520 is they had Dalvin Cook right now. So whether whether 0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:21.200 Madison was good enough to fill in. 0:20:21.160 --> 0:20:24.360 I don't know. That's I totally disagree. There's no one 0:20:24.359 --> 0:20:25.080 in Minnesota. 0:20:25.520 --> 0:20:27.800 I mean, they would love to have Dalvin Cook from 0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:30.480 three years ago. But if they're watching Dalvin Cook's tape 0:20:30.640 --> 0:20:33.120 this year, who's in a similarly bad situation, I think 0:20:33.160 --> 0:20:35.960 they'd have to say, like, we're not missing him right now? 0:20:36.320 --> 0:20:37.960 Maybe I mean my crazy I mean. 0:20:37.920 --> 0:20:41.240 They willingly moved on, So I mean not everyone in Minnesota. 0:20:41.280 --> 0:20:44.520 I guess I'm not. I know it's gonna sound because 0:20:44.640 --> 0:20:46.840 he's a Jet, but I'm not. I'm still not ready 0:20:46.880 --> 0:20:49.440 to say Dalvin Cook is washed right now, like totally washed. 0:20:49.440 --> 0:20:50.080 He was expensive. 0:20:50.119 --> 0:20:51.800 I'm not ready to say that either, But I don't 0:20:51.840 --> 0:20:54.359 think they're They would think he would be solving what 0:20:54.800 --> 0:20:55.560 is going on there. 0:20:55.680 --> 0:20:59.920 That's all I understand that. Now Madison play the guitar. 0:21:00.119 --> 0:21:02.800 That's all I'm saying. There was an assumption that he obviously. 0:21:02.400 --> 0:21:05.960 Could Joey Bosa give me more than nineteen snaps this week. 0:21:06.000 --> 0:21:07.960 This is a guy who hasn't played more than five 0:21:08.040 --> 0:21:11.440 hundred and seventy five snaps only three times in his career. 0:21:11.960 --> 0:21:14.119 For you to say in your podcam jail. 0:21:15.240 --> 0:21:17.560 Last week, I know it so good when he plays, 0:21:17.560 --> 0:21:20.480 but they really need him on the field because Coleil 0:21:20.520 --> 0:21:21.640 Mack is not given them much. 0:21:23.200 --> 0:21:26.520 Now there's a guy that maybe it's time, you know, 0:21:26.880 --> 0:21:29.800 maybe it's time time to what to not view him 0:21:29.800 --> 0:21:31.720 as an impact player. Well, I think I think we 0:21:31.840 --> 0:21:35.640 reached that location. All right, where are we at? I'm 0:21:35.720 --> 0:21:38.720 up here? We go first game? It should it should 0:21:38.760 --> 0:21:43.160 be gone, guys, it should be gone at Buffalo at Washington. 0:21:44.160 --> 0:21:49.440 I like the Bills the way they looked in Week two. 0:21:49.760 --> 0:21:52.840 It showed again that that's a stable operation with good 0:21:52.920 --> 0:21:57.160 leadership that after a pretty harrowing Monday night with your 0:21:57.200 --> 0:22:03.520 franchise star just setting himself on fire, basically, they were 0:22:03.520 --> 0:22:07.479 able to look like the Bills we expect and Western 0:22:07.520 --> 0:22:10.160 New York expects them to be, and they hammered the Raiders. 0:22:10.640 --> 0:22:13.480 Now let's talk about the commanders. Though. Let's have a 0:22:13.520 --> 0:22:16.000 little conversation about the commanders, because there's a couple of 0:22:16.000 --> 0:22:18.680 different ways you could look at the Washington Commanders. You 0:22:18.680 --> 0:22:22.720 could look at it they are a team that almost 0:22:22.760 --> 0:22:25.320 got beat by Arizona and needed a comeback in Week 0:22:25.400 --> 0:22:29.920 one one twenty to sixteen, okay, And then you could say, 0:22:30.080 --> 0:22:32.680 well they won last week two, but they were down 0:22:32.760 --> 0:22:36.240 twenty one to three to the to the Broncos, and 0:22:36.320 --> 0:22:39.560 so the opponents have been soft, the schedule's been soft. However, 0:22:39.960 --> 0:22:42.480 they did come back against the Cardinals, and that second 0:22:42.640 --> 0:22:46.439 half performance of the offense, again by the offense against 0:22:46.520 --> 0:22:50.960 Denver was really nice, and the defense as well. Quite honestly, 0:22:51.040 --> 0:22:52.600 like you, there was a hail Mary at the and 0:22:52.720 --> 0:22:55.639 that put a little lipstick on the pig there for Denver. 0:22:55.760 --> 0:22:59.320 But Washington's play on both sides of the ball and 0:22:59.400 --> 0:23:02.240 closing out the these two games is notable one. And 0:23:02.400 --> 0:23:06.960 Sam Howe has made some big time eye opening throws 0:23:06.960 --> 0:23:09.560 in these games. And he has my curiosity. 0:23:09.800 --> 0:23:14.720 He's feisty, he's I mean, everyone is welcome to enjoy 0:23:14.760 --> 0:23:16.760 Sam Howe. I think they should, but I feel like 0:23:16.800 --> 0:23:19.119 he'd be in my stable of boys right now. I'm 0:23:19.200 --> 0:23:20.960 loving my little Sam. 0:23:21.000 --> 0:23:23.320 How do we want to put this team on the 0:23:23.359 --> 0:23:24.679 radar team of ATM. 0:23:24.800 --> 0:23:25.240 I'm down. 0:23:25.280 --> 0:23:28.560 I knew I'm not sure before the season. They might 0:23:28.600 --> 0:23:29.960 lose this game and be two and one, But that 0:23:30.000 --> 0:23:30.639 doesn't bother me. 0:23:30.920 --> 0:23:33.240 I you were throwing it. No, you were talking about 0:23:33.240 --> 0:23:34.720 the Lions as the team of ATN. 0:23:34.880 --> 0:23:36.439 Well, just as a team that we like. 0:23:36.640 --> 0:23:39.040 It is intriguing, I said, it, wouldn't it be very 0:23:39.960 --> 0:23:43.200 I forget what the word was, transgressive to go Commander's 0:23:43.240 --> 0:23:45.120 team of it right in the total. 0:23:45.000 --> 0:23:47.480 Maybe a year ago or the past twenty years, it 0:23:47.520 --> 0:23:51.040 would never happen. But considering the changing culture there, culture, 0:23:51.440 --> 0:23:52.479 the culture is different. 0:23:52.560 --> 0:23:54.040 No, it's it's very different. 0:23:54.080 --> 0:23:55.439 If Sam how is going to be kind a bit 0:23:55.480 --> 0:23:59.479 of a young gunslinger type here, and young and sweaty 0:23:59.640 --> 0:24:02.600 is back, and Deron Payin is making plays, and Terry 0:24:02.640 --> 0:24:05.119 McLaurin might have a guy that could actually sling him 0:24:05.200 --> 0:24:08.200 the rock, and Curtis Samuel do this little fun stuff 0:24:08.200 --> 0:24:09.240 and Brian Robbinson. 0:24:09.920 --> 0:24:11.040 It also feels like a. 0:24:13.040 --> 0:24:15.520 Gesture at Dan Snyder to pick them now too, which 0:24:15.520 --> 0:24:16.640 I always eased you. 0:24:16.640 --> 0:24:18.800 You wouldn't You wouldn't enjoy that, And I'm not against 0:24:18.800 --> 0:24:20.520 that concept. I know they're in that. They'd be in 0:24:20.560 --> 0:24:23.359 that running because I think how we'll just he's not perfect, 0:24:23.400 --> 0:24:24.760 and I don't only have a problem with some of 0:24:24.800 --> 0:24:26.679 their up and down nature over the first couple of 0:24:26.680 --> 0:24:28.640 games when you're going in there with a quarterback that's 0:24:28.680 --> 0:24:32.119 so inexperienced, but like he just makes things happen, and 0:24:32.200 --> 0:24:34.359 like it's kind of like the quarterback I like to watch, 0:24:34.520 --> 0:24:37.119 just like I don't know how Ron Rivera stumbled across this, 0:24:37.160 --> 0:24:39.919 because it's like he seemed to intentionally try to not 0:24:39.960 --> 0:24:41.959 find a quarterback over the course of half a decade 0:24:41.960 --> 0:24:44.080 and hold on to his job and going to get 0:24:44.080 --> 0:24:46.080 into the playoffs with like nine wins, but it's. 0:24:46.000 --> 0:24:48.479 Take steadfast though, like to start this off season, we're 0:24:48.520 --> 0:24:50.520 gonna ride how No, they've said that all along, and 0:24:50.560 --> 0:24:51.960 like they it was funny they don't. 0:24:52.440 --> 0:24:54.760 His quote right before the season, Like if I would 0:24:54.800 --> 0:24:56.640 have known he was that good, I would have played 0:24:56.680 --> 0:25:00.280 him sooner. So like Ron was gassing up Sam before 0:25:00.320 --> 0:25:01.119 the season started. 0:25:01.320 --> 0:25:03.719 By the way, that also tells you that Ron Rivera 0:25:04.119 --> 0:25:06.320 was closer to Sam Howel than anyone else on earth 0:25:06.520 --> 0:25:09.080 all of last season. And like Colin Kaepernick and San 0:25:09.119 --> 0:25:12.040 Francisco when they're like this guy's too hard to keep 0:25:12.040 --> 0:25:13.760 off the field, we're watching him in practice, it's like 0:25:14.240 --> 0:25:16.240 you didn't self scout the entire what. 0:25:16.119 --> 0:25:18.639 It means Sam Howe's brother, like Terry Howell. 0:25:19.080 --> 0:25:22.560 Well, I'm saying from is Terry Howell at every practice? 0:25:22.560 --> 0:25:25.120 Like Ron Rivera's like, oh, I should have You shouldn't 0:25:25.119 --> 0:25:25.720 be telling us that. 0:25:25.800 --> 0:25:27.960 Maybe do you know if Terry Howell is at every practice? 0:25:28.040 --> 0:25:28.920 I don't know for sure. 0:25:29.000 --> 0:25:32.040 Terry's a good, good guy, a good football mine. 0:25:32.480 --> 0:25:36.800 You know who's not in how Vegas the desert right now, 0:25:37.119 --> 0:25:40.280 six and a half points of wood being laid to 0:25:40.480 --> 0:25:44.360 the visiting team. So the idea here is that Washington's 0:25:44.400 --> 0:25:46.520 not ready or the Bills are that good? 0:25:46.800 --> 0:25:49.440 Well, like for the from a team of atl standpoint, 0:25:49.680 --> 0:25:52.840 Like let's say a bomb is dropped on Washington, Uh, 0:25:53.440 --> 0:25:55.960 the football team on a football field, not the city, 0:25:56.080 --> 0:25:58.280 like by the Bills, and it's like we start, we 0:25:58.400 --> 0:25:59.840 start to not believe. 0:26:00.320 --> 0:26:02.840 Fully, it's a long process and they're fun and to me, 0:26:03.840 --> 0:26:07.000 a ten win fun, you know, just different sort of 0:26:07.280 --> 0:26:10.040 season is perfect for temy At and I think that's 0:26:10.040 --> 0:26:12.960 what samhow it could provide. I mean, watching that game, 0:26:12.960 --> 0:26:15.440 it was hard for me not to think like he's 0:26:15.480 --> 0:26:18.960 young russ I mean, that is his comp in the NFL. 0:26:19.359 --> 0:26:21.440 He's got the same sort of body type, the same 0:26:21.520 --> 0:26:25.199 sort of runner, the same sort of deep ball, the 0:26:25.200 --> 0:26:28.040 same sort of I'm gonna hold the ball forever and 0:26:28.160 --> 0:26:30.439 it's gonna be too long sometimes and bad things are 0:26:30.440 --> 0:26:32.639 gonna happen sometimes because of that, but good things are 0:26:32.640 --> 0:26:35.800 gonna happen because of that too. He I'm not saying 0:26:35.840 --> 0:26:38.800 he's has the ceiling of young Russell Wilson necessarily, but 0:26:38.880 --> 0:26:42.720 he's the same type of player. And they've really looked 0:26:42.800 --> 0:26:44.879 sharp on offense in a way I don't think they 0:26:44.880 --> 0:26:47.159 were last year. And Eric Bienemy needs to get credit 0:26:47.160 --> 0:26:50.120 because he'd be getting buried if he went to Washington 0:26:50.359 --> 0:26:53.399 and they stunk and the Chiefs office offense is rolling, 0:26:53.440 --> 0:26:55.600 and yet know how many people are really talking about like, 0:26:56.080 --> 0:26:59.680 oh wow, your screen game is really on points to me, 0:26:59.760 --> 0:27:03.679 that's coaching, that's offensive line. That's like, that's coaching. Meanwhile, 0:27:03.760 --> 0:27:06.199 the Chiefs are, you know, stinking on offense. And Eric 0:27:06.240 --> 0:27:08.400 b Enemy's gone, so he's had a nice start. I'm 0:27:08.400 --> 0:27:10.639 not saying they're like rolling it, but this is a 0:27:10.760 --> 0:27:12.080 much different test to play. 0:27:11.880 --> 0:27:13.640 The Bills team. They were rolling in the second half 0:27:13.640 --> 0:27:14.639 a mile high. 0:27:15.760 --> 0:27:18.560 I guess I can't remember the last time I yeah, I. 0:27:18.480 --> 0:27:20.840 Mean maybe there's a football head will point out that, 0:27:20.960 --> 0:27:25.359 like the twenty seventeen week fourteen through sixteen window or something. 0:27:25.440 --> 0:27:29.040 I can't remember the last time that I enjoyed watching Washington. 0:27:30.200 --> 0:27:33.240 They made it tough. They made it tough for a 0:27:33.280 --> 0:27:35.680 long time, and the and the organization had a stink 0:27:35.720 --> 0:27:37.120 that was unappealing as well. 0:27:37.160 --> 0:27:39.600 And then the Commanders have four defensive line And We'll 0:27:39.600 --> 0:27:41.439 get to your Bills fans quickly because I know we 0:27:41.960 --> 0:27:45.080 but look their offensive line. If there's any question about 0:27:45.080 --> 0:27:46.560 the Bills. It's their offensive line. Now they got to 0:27:46.560 --> 0:27:48.920 go against this young and sweaty Dron Payin and j 0:27:49.000 --> 0:27:52.000 Jonathan Allen. Those four guys had twenty five pressures last week. 0:27:52.040 --> 0:27:52.560 Not the team. 0:27:53.000 --> 0:27:55.960 That's a big number for a team, just those four guys. 0:27:56.119 --> 0:27:58.480 So that's a nice don't worry. Josh Allen has a plan. 0:27:58.800 --> 0:28:01.800 He's going to jump over them. They're set. 0:28:02.160 --> 0:28:03.920 Bills want to be physical like they have. Their two 0:28:03.920 --> 0:28:05.439 tight ends are starting to run the boss. That's a 0:28:05.440 --> 0:28:07.720 really nice test when they have Dawson Knox. 0:28:07.480 --> 0:28:09.720 Was not a practice on Thursday though with a back issue. 0:28:10.160 --> 0:28:16.760 Uhatomy. Hey, Eric, producer, very important. If the Washington Commanders 0:28:16.800 --> 0:28:21.080 win on Sunday, that's a major major development and team 0:28:21.119 --> 0:28:23.960 of ATM potential. Can we have can you get in 0:28:23.960 --> 0:28:26.639 touch with Terry Howell just in case they win, so 0:28:26.640 --> 0:28:28.200 we can have him on the Monday maybe the Monday 0:28:28.240 --> 0:28:30.320 night show, even the Sunday flagship show. 0:28:30.520 --> 0:28:32.080 The brother of would be a great guest. 0:28:32.640 --> 0:28:36.800 Yeah, definitely, we're not hearing you, Eric, Yeah, he had 0:28:36.800 --> 0:28:39.080 his moment there, lots. 0:28:38.800 --> 0:28:40.240 Of buttons back here, can you hear me? Now? 0:28:40.520 --> 0:28:40.840 Gotcha? 0:28:40.920 --> 0:28:42.200 I got him lined up? There you go. 0:28:42.680 --> 0:28:43.280 It's also a bill. 0:28:44.520 --> 0:28:46.080 I see, I don't know if he has a brother, 0:28:46.160 --> 0:28:49.680 and if his brother's name is Terry, or if brother 0:28:49.800 --> 0:28:50.640 named Terry, they close. 0:28:50.720 --> 0:28:53.280 I don't know that hinges on the Bills losing, though correct, 0:28:53.600 --> 0:28:53.960 there's a. 0:28:53.960 --> 0:28:56.880 Number of tank I mean, well that primarily would. 0:28:56.640 --> 0:28:58.880 Be hopefully I'm not making that casse. We're in a 0:28:58.880 --> 0:29:01.920 Bill's hat, so he can't imagine all that would being 0:29:02.000 --> 0:29:05.160 laid and then being burned. All right, kind of a 0:29:05.160 --> 0:29:07.560 widespread All right, let's take a break, and then we'll 0:29:07.800 --> 0:29:12.440 continue with the draft. Now right, we are back and 0:29:13.520 --> 0:29:16.120 snakes back to me in the old week three draft, 0:29:16.120 --> 0:29:18.960 and I will take Oh, we have some demons to 0:29:19.040 --> 0:29:23.320 slay in the swampsa Jersey. Because the New England Patriots 0:29:23.360 --> 0:29:27.640 are coming to the Meadowlands to face the Jets. This 0:29:27.880 --> 0:29:33.160 is not the ideal set up on a number of levels. Obviously, 0:29:33.360 --> 0:29:35.480 like Aaron Rodgers be playing for the Jets. I also 0:29:35.840 --> 0:29:40.280 would rather the Pats not be in a desperate place 0:29:40.320 --> 0:29:43.480 at oh and two. That does not fill me with 0:29:44.000 --> 0:29:50.959 a lot of confidence because I know obviously teams play different. 0:29:51.600 --> 0:29:56.480 There's an urgency level. The Patriots cannot lose this game. Statistically, 0:29:56.560 --> 0:29:59.560 the data tells you that almost every oh to three 0:29:59.600 --> 0:30:03.160 game is cooked. It's such a big hole, even with 0:30:03.240 --> 0:30:05.240 an added game to the schedule. So now the Jets 0:30:05.240 --> 0:30:08.440 have to Now here's the positive side, Greg, and for 0:30:08.520 --> 0:30:11.760 a Patriots fan, it's the flip side. Jets can bury 0:30:11.760 --> 0:30:14.720 the Patriots in week three. They could send that organization 0:30:14.800 --> 0:30:18.360 and fan base into a tailspin before the calendar flips 0:30:18.400 --> 0:30:21.760 over to October. Now they have to do it, and 0:30:21.760 --> 0:30:23.720 they have to do it with their defense and their 0:30:23.800 --> 0:30:26.240 running game. The Jets got away from their running game. 0:30:26.960 --> 0:30:29.520 Now the Cowboys played a big role in that. And 0:30:30.160 --> 0:30:32.880 you saw how the Cowboys had answers for everything the 0:30:32.960 --> 0:30:34.720 Jets were doing in week two. I thought it was 0:30:34.760 --> 0:30:38.800 a masterclass from McCarthy and company. B Reesaw needs to get 0:30:38.840 --> 0:30:41.480 the ball more than four times. Breesol needs to get 0:30:41.480 --> 0:30:44.080 the ball like the Falcons need to give John Robinson 0:30:44.120 --> 0:30:46.240 the ball, quite frankly, because you can't put too much 0:30:46.240 --> 0:30:48.280 on Zach Wilson's plate. You need to dash of Zach 0:30:48.320 --> 0:30:51.120 Wilson and keep guys like Garrett Wilson a playmaker in 0:30:51.160 --> 0:30:53.040 the mix. But you win the game at the running 0:30:53.080 --> 0:30:56.080 game and the defense. After being humbled by the Cowboys 0:30:56.120 --> 0:30:58.880 in Week two has to take it gregy to mac 0:30:59.000 --> 0:31:01.320 Jones and an offense for the Patriot that has to 0:31:01.320 --> 0:31:04.720 work very hard to manufacture, and you have to get 0:31:04.760 --> 0:31:07.720 after mac Jones and punish him in this game. 0:31:08.040 --> 0:31:11.040 The two quarterbacks in this game are in a tough spot. 0:31:12.040 --> 0:31:15.240 These are the two worst offensive lines in the NFL, 0:31:15.480 --> 0:31:19.160 the Jets and the Patriots in terms of pass block 0:31:19.240 --> 0:31:21.960 win rate, So they're just losing over and over. There 0:31:22.040 --> 0:31:24.680 is certainly not a worst tackle combination when Trent Brown 0:31:24.760 --> 0:31:27.520 is out of the lineup than the Patriots. Calvin Anderson 0:31:27.600 --> 0:31:29.920 was like a journeyman and didn't touch the field in training. 0:31:29.960 --> 0:31:33.479 Gim He's just been a turnstyle left tackle. They actually 0:31:33.560 --> 0:31:37.560 are starting. They started last week. The Vikings sixth tackle 0:31:37.840 --> 0:31:39.280 was their life, and they came in and they brought 0:31:39.320 --> 0:31:41.280 their guards in who were injured and drink them and 0:31:41.360 --> 0:31:44.960 they were terrible. So that matchup against the Jets is 0:31:45.120 --> 0:31:48.400 just a brutal mismatch. And it's why I'm actually impressed 0:31:48.400 --> 0:31:51.080 with how mac Jones has played this year. On balance, 0:31:51.120 --> 0:31:55.120 like he's six in the league in completion over completion 0:31:55.160 --> 0:31:58.480 percentage over expected. I think he's done well enough with 0:31:58.640 --> 0:32:00.720 what he has and they don't have an explosive element. 0:32:00.760 --> 0:32:02.760 I would say it's almost as big of a mismatch. 0:32:02.760 --> 0:32:05.680 The other way, maybe it's bigger because, yeah, the Patriots 0:32:05.720 --> 0:32:08.960 aren't quite as good upfront, but they're good, and the 0:32:09.040 --> 0:32:12.760 Jets offensive line is struggling. And more importantly, they have 0:32:12.840 --> 0:32:16.760 Zach Wilson as their quarterback, who against Belichick has just 0:32:16.800 --> 0:32:21.880 been a total disaster fifty percent completion percentage, two touchdowns 0:32:21.960 --> 0:32:25.600 and four starts, seven interceptions, and he just hasn't gotten 0:32:25.600 --> 0:32:28.960 it done. So it's gonna be a defensive game. It's 0:32:29.000 --> 0:32:32.000 hard to imagine it won't. It's a very Belichick game. 0:32:32.040 --> 0:32:34.120 We're here at the end of Belichick's career. You can 0:32:34.160 --> 0:32:37.280 get the greatest hits of all of this, his Browns game. 0:32:37.400 --> 0:32:41.959 I'm just saying, like his Brown's career, his Jets defensive coordinator, 0:32:42.000 --> 0:32:44.360 his Patriots, it's just like ugly defense. 0:32:44.440 --> 0:32:45.400 That's what we'll see. 0:32:45.560 --> 0:32:46.080 They like. 0:32:46.480 --> 0:32:49.800 If the Patriots were to fall to zero to three, 0:32:50.160 --> 0:32:53.680 I would spend a morning listening to WEEI because I 0:32:53.720 --> 0:32:56.120 think that they're gonna have a meltdown situation like you 0:32:56.240 --> 0:32:58.680 just don't. We're in New territory. If that were to 0:32:58.680 --> 0:33:02.080 happen to them that said, I mean, this is a 0:33:02.080 --> 0:33:05.840 good spot, I think for the Patriots because Bill Belichick 0:33:05.880 --> 0:33:09.680 feasts on quarterback situations like this where you're just hoping 0:33:09.720 --> 0:33:12.440 and it's like it gets dull to just keep talking 0:33:12.440 --> 0:33:15.800 about Zach Wilson's inefficiency and inability. It's like, I'm not 0:33:15.800 --> 0:33:17.239 trying to go down that road. But it's just that 0:33:17.920 --> 0:33:20.360 outside of Breese Hall and maybe like you can get 0:33:20.520 --> 0:33:22.800 two games in a row. There's been a scoring strike 0:33:22.840 --> 0:33:25.920 to Garrett Wilson last week that was like mainly the 0:33:25.960 --> 0:33:28.600 only positive thing that Zack Wilson did for the most part. 0:33:28.720 --> 0:33:31.080 You get one of those and you get a ton 0:33:31.120 --> 0:33:33.600 of Breese Hall. Like this game feels like fourteen to 0:33:33.680 --> 0:33:36.200 tend to me or something like that, and I really 0:33:36.280 --> 0:33:38.320 I think this thing. You still have the strength of 0:33:38.360 --> 0:33:41.800 the deep Jets defensive line that comes at you in waves, 0:33:41.800 --> 0:33:44.400 and it's like they kind of got it taken to 0:33:44.440 --> 0:33:46.920 him on defense last week. That was as surprising as 0:33:47.240 --> 0:33:49.760 anything else that's happened in the Jets this season, was that, 0:33:50.120 --> 0:33:52.760 you know, Dak Prescott opens I think thirteen for thirteen. 0:33:52.840 --> 0:33:55.840 They're totally efficient and everything you thought you could count 0:33:55.880 --> 0:33:57.480 on from New York on that side of the ball 0:33:57.960 --> 0:34:00.200 didn't really show up. It was more like the big 0:34:00.200 --> 0:34:02.640 plays they didn't make on defense that kind of separated 0:34:02.640 --> 0:34:04.920 that game early. So I don't know. The Jets are 0:34:04.920 --> 0:34:06.400 in a tough spot. You got to be almost you 0:34:06.440 --> 0:34:09.480 gotta hope that this quarterback doesn't make a key mistake. 0:34:09.520 --> 0:34:11.880 Except it's one of the most reliable things happening on 0:34:11.920 --> 0:34:13.160 a weekly basis in the NFL. 0:34:13.400 --> 0:34:17.000 I think last year's matchups, it could be something similar, 0:34:17.000 --> 0:34:19.640 and that still sits. It sits with me in a 0:34:20.160 --> 0:34:22.479 way that annoys me. That they had a pick six 0:34:22.520 --> 0:34:24.480 of mac Jones late in the first half in their 0:34:24.480 --> 0:34:27.040 first matchup of the medalands yea last year that would 0:34:27.040 --> 0:34:28.880 have had him up seventeen to three at a halftime. 0:34:29.320 --> 0:34:31.800 It got taken off the board on a bogus roughing 0:34:31.800 --> 0:34:34.759 the passer call. The Patriots ended up winning that game. 0:34:34.800 --> 0:34:37.440 Then the next time they meet in Foxborough, it's a 0:34:37.520 --> 0:34:41.759 defensive stalemate, Neither offense can move a yard and the 0:34:41.840 --> 0:34:45.080 Pats went on a walkoff hunt return at the end 0:34:45.080 --> 0:34:47.399 of regulation. And I think you're gonna see it again. 0:34:47.400 --> 0:34:49.680 I think both quarterbacks will struggle. I think we're gonna 0:34:49.680 --> 0:34:51.840 have a low scoring game. But now this is where 0:34:52.160 --> 0:34:55.640 the Jets in you know, year three of Sala, year 0:34:55.640 --> 0:34:58.279 two of this young nucleus on d they gotta win 0:34:58.280 --> 0:35:00.000 a ball game. Like I talk about about Justin Herbert, 0:35:00.200 --> 0:35:03.319 this Jets defense needs to make the plays because I 0:35:03.320 --> 0:35:06.279 think the Patriots, even their running game the Pats, which 0:35:06.320 --> 0:35:08.920 we we look at Ramandra Stevenson like that hasn't gotten 0:35:08.920 --> 0:35:09.439 going yet. 0:35:10.719 --> 0:35:11.000 It is. 0:35:11.320 --> 0:35:16.320 It is the Jets defense. After again getting humbled by Dallas, 0:35:16.719 --> 0:35:19.200 they this week. They You could not have more boltin 0:35:19.200 --> 0:35:22.160 board material for a Patriots team that's won twenty two 0:35:22.280 --> 0:35:26.200 of the last twenty four meetings in this quote unquote rivalry. 0:35:26.480 --> 0:35:29.160 You got to kick the ass of the Patriots offense 0:35:29.239 --> 0:35:33.719 and score score on defense and win seventeen to three. 0:35:33.960 --> 0:35:36.520 That's it's time to show. That's if this is a 0:35:36.520 --> 0:35:40.640 team that's gonna survive and be matter in December. There 0:35:40.719 --> 0:35:43.320 is no messing around here. You beat a very mediocre 0:35:43.400 --> 0:35:46.520 Patriots team and you keep moving the checking. 0:35:46.600 --> 0:35:48.160 If it was the lowest over under of the week, 0:35:48.200 --> 0:35:52.279 it is Patriots two and a half points on the road. 0:35:52.360 --> 0:35:55.719 Does that surprise? But I know that everyone's out on 0:35:55.760 --> 0:35:57.880 the Jets now, and I get it. But Pat's favored 0:35:57.920 --> 0:35:58.359 on the road. 0:35:59.600 --> 0:36:03.279 It's like a little surprising, but I think that's reflecting, 0:36:03.400 --> 0:36:06.320 Like I don't know if the numbers totally say it 0:36:06.400 --> 0:36:09.279 yet or not, but I think it's might be reflecting. Yes, 0:36:09.320 --> 0:36:11.319 the Patriots are zero and too, but you still think 0:36:11.320 --> 0:36:14.280 they're a better team than they were a year ago. 0:36:14.960 --> 0:36:18.799 And that team was able to beat Zach Wilson twice. 0:36:18.800 --> 0:36:21.440 So I think it's just that feeling of Zach Wilson. 0:36:21.440 --> 0:36:25.160 I'm really looking forward to Christian Gonzales on Garrett Wilson. 0:36:25.280 --> 0:36:27.400 We'll see if he actually travels with him. But Christian 0:36:27.440 --> 0:36:31.520 Gonzalez off to a really nice start as approach. Not 0:36:31.520 --> 0:36:33.880 saying he's like Sauce Gardner or anything, but we got 0:36:33.960 --> 0:36:35.280 they got a first round cornerback. 0:36:35.320 --> 0:36:36.880 He looks like a good pick and that'll be a 0:36:36.920 --> 0:36:37.359 fun match. 0:36:37.800 --> 0:36:42.080 All right, let's keep moving. Greg gets back to you. 0:36:42.719 --> 0:36:46.040 I am gonna take the late game that I want. 0:36:46.200 --> 0:36:48.799 It's not a great late slate, but I'm gonna take 0:36:48.800 --> 0:36:51.279 Panthers at Seahawks just because I want to watch my 0:36:51.320 --> 0:36:56.120 boy Gino live and in person. That won't be in person. 0:36:57.360 --> 0:37:00.440 I'm excited. The Seahawks are favored by six. Now you 0:37:00.480 --> 0:37:02.359 want to do a second take that line moved up, 0:37:03.040 --> 0:37:04.399 I mean four h five. 0:37:04.480 --> 0:37:06.440 That's a disappointment too. I don't care. 0:37:06.480 --> 0:37:07.600 It's the game I want to watch. I want to 0:37:07.640 --> 0:37:11.120 watch the Seahawks against this Panthers defense. I think it's 0:37:11.120 --> 0:37:14.720 a game the Seahawks, if they have taken any steps 0:37:14.719 --> 0:37:18.160 forward from a year ago and certainly from week one, 0:37:19.239 --> 0:37:22.600 should be good enough to slow down a Panthers attack 0:37:22.640 --> 0:37:27.080 that's probably starting Andy Dalton. And it's maybe it's just me, 0:37:28.840 --> 0:37:31.960 but personally as someone who wants the Seahawks to win 0:37:32.040 --> 0:37:35.040 this game because I'm locking them up, I'm not. 0:37:34.960 --> 0:37:36.840 Gonna building up. 0:37:38.040 --> 0:37:40.239 I actually feel less good about this with Andy Dalton 0:37:40.320 --> 0:37:42.760 starting than Bryce Young. I don't think that's that crazy 0:37:42.800 --> 0:37:45.000 to say. I just think at this point in their careers, 0:37:45.440 --> 0:37:48.160 Andy Dalton will get the ball out a little quicker 0:37:48.480 --> 0:37:50.040 with a bad offensive line in front of him. 0:37:50.040 --> 0:37:51.919 He's just been in the NFL a long time. 0:37:51.960 --> 0:37:54.200 And Bryce Young, I don't think it's been bad, but 0:37:54.239 --> 0:37:55.880 he's been out with his ankle injury, and there's just 0:37:55.920 --> 0:37:57.800 a lot to ask of a rookie quarterback. I actually 0:37:57.800 --> 0:37:59.759 give Dalton a better chance, kind of like when he 0:38:00.120 --> 0:38:02.040 played for Justin Fields when Fields was a. 0:38:02.080 --> 0:38:04.759 Rookie a couple of years ago in Chicago. It's like, oh, 0:38:04.800 --> 0:38:06.120 actually they were a little better with ault. 0:38:06.200 --> 0:38:07.280 What's the spread on this one? 0:38:07.400 --> 0:38:08.640 It's six now. 0:38:11.040 --> 0:38:12.560 And the other one you were hunting was maybe at 0:38:12.560 --> 0:38:14.280 the Bengals were starting their backup quarterback. 0:38:14.719 --> 0:38:18.000 Yeah, although the Rams are understand how Craig's winning these trophies, 0:38:18.360 --> 0:38:19.279 who's starting? 0:38:21.120 --> 0:38:22.080 Are we really counting this? 0:38:22.640 --> 0:38:22.719 Like? 0:38:22.800 --> 0:38:24.600 You took the Chiefs in week one and you got 0:38:24.600 --> 0:38:26.120 a big freaking out on it. 0:38:26.200 --> 0:38:27.440 You took the Seahawks in week one. 0:38:27.480 --> 0:38:29.480 We were the exact same favorites that I took a 0:38:29.520 --> 0:38:31.240 lower Falcons three point favorites. 0:38:31.520 --> 0:38:35.080 Very brain, you were honking there? 0:38:35.600 --> 0:38:38.160 Have you taken both Super Bowl teams back to back 0:38:38.400 --> 0:38:39.359 week one? In week two? 0:38:39.440 --> 0:38:39.600 Yeah? 0:38:39.880 --> 0:38:41.160 Yeah, so let's come down. 0:38:41.800 --> 0:38:46.960 So I don't know what have you done besides lous 0:38:47.040 --> 0:38:48.600 relentlessly and I've lost. 0:38:49.040 --> 0:38:51.080 I've been just it's been one l out to the next. 0:38:51.160 --> 0:38:53.279 I'm not really critiquing. I was more asking a question. 0:38:53.360 --> 0:38:57.680 But maybe maybe none of us have covered ourselves in 0:38:57.680 --> 0:39:00.520 glory so far. But Greg, we see how taking these 0:39:00.560 --> 0:39:01.040 trophies home. 0:39:01.080 --> 0:39:01.799 What are you talking about? 0:39:01.840 --> 0:39:04.120 If we could add up the points spreads in the 0:39:04.200 --> 0:39:06.080 our three games, and they'd be the samer years would. 0:39:06.080 --> 0:39:08.399 People are very it's very hard to get you mad, Greg, 0:39:08.440 --> 0:39:10.120 but this, for some reason, I always gets you and 0:39:10.200 --> 0:39:10.680 I love it well. 0:39:10.719 --> 0:39:10.920 I do. 0:39:11.120 --> 0:39:14.080 It's because it's a game that at first, like didn't 0:39:14.120 --> 0:39:16.120 have any rules, and I always thought it's a stupid 0:39:16.160 --> 0:39:18.640 game if it if it doesn't have rules, like you 0:39:18.640 --> 0:39:20.680 have to look at the mirror, we have a rule, 0:39:20.760 --> 0:39:24.880 I'd be all four changing the rules and putting the number. 0:39:24.920 --> 0:39:25.960 I'm just saying, I'd. 0:39:25.920 --> 0:39:28.359 Say, you say it's under five or whatever, but if 0:39:28.360 --> 0:39:29.080 you really want. 0:39:29.080 --> 0:39:31.240 The only thing I'm saying this is smart. It's savvy 0:39:31.320 --> 0:39:33.480 because the spread will probably go out of the lock 0:39:33.600 --> 0:39:35.640 zone once they officially named Dalton Starter. 0:39:35.800 --> 0:39:36.360 No it already. 0:39:36.440 --> 0:39:38.759 I was surprised because, like I said, I think Andy 0:39:38.800 --> 0:39:40.480 Dalton gives them a much better chance to win. 0:39:40.520 --> 0:39:42.000 Maybe not much, but a better chance. 0:39:42.360 --> 0:39:42.520 Uh. 0:39:42.600 --> 0:39:43.879 And I think it went from five and a half 0:39:43.880 --> 0:39:47.080 to six with that news. Cool Andy Dalton played well 0:39:47.160 --> 0:39:48.080 last year, Right. 0:39:48.360 --> 0:39:50.600 Cool with your lock, Greg, I'm just having fun that so, I. 0:39:50.640 --> 0:39:53.120 Mean it's fun to get fired up. I think that's good. 0:39:53.200 --> 0:39:55.520 I will never take it personally it's this game. 0:39:55.560 --> 0:39:59.040 I've bet you'll take it, Barry, you will definitely take if. 0:39:58.920 --> 0:40:01.080 I win four out of five, I'm taking it out. 0:40:03.280 --> 0:40:05.400 The three of us and there's a vote. It's a 0:40:05.440 --> 0:40:09.120 bad SI, it's a tough all right. Anything else in 0:40:09.160 --> 0:40:09.840 this game. 0:40:10.360 --> 0:40:13.040 Yeah, come on, let's give the Panther Panthers. 0:40:13.239 --> 0:40:16.879 How about a bad offensive line versus a really bad 0:40:16.920 --> 0:40:19.279 Seahawks pass rush. So I'm a little concerned about the 0:40:19.280 --> 0:40:21.839 Seahawks defense. That kind of just erases both, right, So 0:40:21.920 --> 0:40:24.239 I'm I can't can you get can you get something done? 0:40:24.239 --> 0:40:24.640 Here? One? 0:40:24.880 --> 0:40:24.920 Like? 0:40:25.000 --> 0:40:27.360 I think I feel like Frankie Lulu every time I 0:40:27.400 --> 0:40:30.160 watch the Panthers. He's doing something, he's. 0:40:30.080 --> 0:40:34.040 Wild and when he misses his tag team partner Shack Thompson, 0:40:34.680 --> 0:40:37.160 Jacy Horn is still out there. Their front line is good. 0:40:37.440 --> 0:40:39.520 I thought it was interesting last year. They're the number 0:40:39.600 --> 0:40:42.000 five overall pick. Devin Witherspoon was very much like the 0:40:42.040 --> 0:40:45.360 main character of Seahawks Lions for about three quarters in 0:40:45.480 --> 0:40:48.760 that game. Made a couple of big plays that ended drives, 0:40:48.760 --> 0:40:52.920 but was relentlessly picked on by Jared Goff and the 0:40:52.960 --> 0:40:56.520 Lions offense, and really struggled for the most parts I'm 0:40:56.560 --> 0:40:57.160 just someone to watch. 0:40:57.200 --> 0:40:59.239 I have a wild take. By the way, First of all, 0:40:59.280 --> 0:41:02.320 this is your chance before we move on, Mark to 0:41:02.360 --> 0:41:04.840 get a shotgun blast off on the head coach of 0:41:04.880 --> 0:41:05.400 the Panthers. 0:41:05.560 --> 0:41:07.040 Well, I want to see what he does with with 0:41:07.160 --> 0:41:09.920 Andy Dalton. I just think their offense has been vastly 0:41:10.480 --> 0:41:13.279 unimpressive and not very watchable. That's not the calling card. 0:41:13.360 --> 0:41:15.799 I feel like POD's been a little hot last week 0:41:15.920 --> 0:41:18.120 or so with everything as the coach's fault, Like what 0:41:18.280 --> 0:41:19.719 is he working with really right now? 0:41:20.520 --> 0:41:23.920 An inexperienced young quarterback who is also the first overall pick, but. 0:41:23.920 --> 0:41:27.200 Like Adam Feelen, is a primary receiver in this offense. 0:41:27.800 --> 0:41:29.960 Like it's not a bounty of weapons. I don't think 0:41:30.000 --> 0:41:30.799 anyone's saying it is. 0:41:30.800 --> 0:41:33.279 I'm not saying Frank Braich should be absolved if the 0:41:33.400 --> 0:41:35.799 offense stinks this year or the team is bad. But 0:41:36.400 --> 0:41:38.520 I don't know. The players play the games. 0:41:39.000 --> 0:41:40.480 I'm with you to I wanted to give it. 0:41:40.520 --> 0:41:43.440 It's my thing with him in this team is I 0:41:43.440 --> 0:41:47.319 want to evaluate a new situation like this over time. Yeah, 0:41:47.680 --> 0:41:49.799 and I expected this team to be bad. It's why 0:41:49.840 --> 0:41:52.040 I mean I was gonna lock. I locked against in 0:41:52.120 --> 0:41:54.520 Week one. I meant to last week. Remember I was 0:41:54.520 --> 0:41:56.480 saying Saints, but I flipped off it. But they lost it, 0:41:56.520 --> 0:41:58.319 and I'm doing it. I'm just as long as they 0:41:58.360 --> 0:42:00.680 stay in the lock zone Anti. 0:42:00.440 --> 0:42:05.760 Panthers Seattle take by the way, next time Tyler Lockett scores, 0:42:05.840 --> 0:42:09.359 and trust me, Tyler Lockett's going to score as long 0:42:09.360 --> 0:42:12.280 as his body is willing because he's a very good, 0:42:12.800 --> 0:42:15.440 maybe the most underrated receiver of the last ten years. 0:42:15.719 --> 0:42:21.040 Go it out there. Tyler Lockett watched closely. Doesn't know 0:42:21.080 --> 0:42:24.840 how to spike it football. Okay, go check out the 0:42:24.840 --> 0:42:28.399 footage of his first touchdown. He had to walk off. 0:42:28.440 --> 0:42:31.560 Of course, he grabs it and I imagine his hands 0:42:31.560 --> 0:42:35.640 are probably larger than average, but when he does the windmill, 0:42:35.719 --> 0:42:37.319 it's almost like it's coming out of his hands, and 0:42:37.360 --> 0:42:39.799 then he doesn't. You can't bring it down with any 0:42:39.880 --> 0:42:42.640 level of ferocity, and it just kind of it underwhelms 0:42:42.640 --> 0:42:45.240 as a spike. He seems like someone that it would 0:42:45.239 --> 0:42:47.160 be a value add for him and his brand to 0:42:47.400 --> 0:42:49.000 change his touchdownsal. 0:42:48.600 --> 0:42:52.360 Have you have you tracked and gone back through previous 0:42:52.400 --> 0:42:53.560 seasons and campaigns. 0:42:53.640 --> 0:42:56.600 Well, the reason why you know we followed him for 0:42:56.680 --> 0:42:58.759 his whole career now, and when he did it, when 0:42:58.800 --> 0:43:01.480 I was watching two days ago, I was like, oh, 0:43:01.640 --> 0:43:04.720 he's always doing that. It's always kind of an uninspiring spike. 0:43:05.040 --> 0:43:06.880 Last thing is how many more? Andy Dalton starts a 0:43:06.880 --> 0:43:10.600 we're gonna get how many? Ever, ever, so I'm gonna 0:43:10.680 --> 0:43:14.319 enjoy this twelve. I'm always like the glowing ginger man. 0:43:14.640 --> 0:43:17.120 All right, Mark, you're up. You think there will be 0:43:17.120 --> 0:43:18.239 twelve more? Yeah? 0:43:18.280 --> 0:43:20.760 I think he'll play beyond this season and do some patchwork. 0:43:20.800 --> 0:43:22.960 You know, all these half these quarterbacks get lost to 0:43:23.000 --> 0:43:23.359 the news. 0:43:24.000 --> 0:43:24.280 Perhaps. 0:43:24.320 --> 0:43:26.800 I hope Bryce Young getting hurt is not like a 0:43:26.960 --> 0:43:27.560 recurring thing. 0:43:27.600 --> 0:43:29.759 But we'll see. It's just an English little weird that 0:43:29.800 --> 0:43:31.319 they can't have him run the sneaks. 0:43:32.120 --> 0:43:32.520 Into the game. 0:43:35.200 --> 0:43:37.000 Check out that Tyler Locketts spike video. 0:43:37.120 --> 0:43:39.680 So I'm gonna you should you should put that out 0:43:39.680 --> 0:43:41.719 on You should x that and then like, I'll re. 0:43:41.680 --> 0:43:45.440 Exit for you make an ex video? Yeah, got it? 0:43:45.800 --> 0:43:48.040 You well? Post I believe is their official term. 0:43:48.320 --> 0:43:49.000 I'm reaxting. 0:43:49.120 --> 0:43:50.160 What is it? Repost? 0:43:50.719 --> 0:43:52.600 They cannot have the word tweets on it. 0:43:52.680 --> 0:43:55.440 There we can out it does not adhere to our culture. 0:43:55.840 --> 0:43:59.919 This guy, all right, I'm gonna go tight? 0:44:00.200 --> 0:44:00.360 Is it? 0:44:00.400 --> 0:44:06.960 Browns? I Kareem Hunt signed by Cleveland, pinch me. 0:44:07.960 --> 0:44:08.319 I don't know. 0:44:08.360 --> 0:44:10.040 I think, if anything, he knows that he knows the 0:44:10.080 --> 0:44:12.359 system in the playbook. I wonder what kind of shape 0:44:12.360 --> 0:44:12.640 he's in. 0:44:12.680 --> 0:44:15.120 But I had a in my league of record, I 0:44:15.160 --> 0:44:19.520 had a my buddy Greg, one of the guys. That guy, yeah, 0:44:19.600 --> 0:44:23.240 the guy who runs the league. Burger spent his entire 0:44:23.320 --> 0:44:27.400 budget on Jerome Ford. And then Greg, who's had the 0:44:27.440 --> 0:44:30.960 most championship success in our league historically, went in the 0:44:31.000 --> 0:44:33.279 back door and got Kareem Hunt, and then and then 0:44:33.400 --> 0:44:36.160 was patting himself on the back over it, and I said, 0:44:36.280 --> 0:44:39.160 that is a nice pickup, especially you paid four dollars 0:44:39.239 --> 0:44:43.439 or whatever, and Burger paid sixty. But Kareem Hunt, there's 0:44:43.560 --> 0:44:45.799 kind of a reason. Maybe he was unemployed until this 0:44:45.840 --> 0:44:47.600 point and he didn't put a lot on tape, maybe 0:44:47.600 --> 0:44:48.560 even the last couple of years. 0:44:48.560 --> 0:44:50.399 I guess I don't hate that he didn't go through 0:44:50.440 --> 0:44:52.600 a whole preseason and all this stuff. And if he's fresh, 0:44:52.680 --> 0:44:55.640 it's kind of like it'll work. The same thing happened. 0:44:56.000 --> 0:44:58.279 I haven't done fantasy in a million years, but I 0:44:58.320 --> 0:45:00.960 had I got this like waiver, why scenario trying to 0:45:00.960 --> 0:45:02.839 get to room forward get totally banged on, that didn't 0:45:02.840 --> 0:45:04.440 get them, And it's like four in the morning, like, 0:45:04.440 --> 0:45:06.080 oh kareem hunt news, Like I just choped them up 0:45:06.120 --> 0:45:08.920 for free street smart. That's called strategy. That's a good 0:45:08.960 --> 0:45:10.440 that's a solid sound. 0:45:10.719 --> 0:45:12.000 For his son Walker right now. 0:45:12.719 --> 0:45:15.040 I believe someone does have it in that in that league. 0:45:15.120 --> 0:45:15.600 No one did. 0:45:17.080 --> 0:45:18.120 He cares about your fantasy. 0:45:18.200 --> 0:45:18.960 Dam they don't. 0:45:19.400 --> 0:45:22.440 But go on, well, I just you know, it's obviously 0:45:22.480 --> 0:45:25.160 my fanship or fandom with the Browns is you know, 0:45:25.160 --> 0:45:28.600 a strange place. But I felt something on Monday Night. 0:45:28.640 --> 0:45:31.439 I felt agitated to watch what happened to Nick Chubb. 0:45:31.480 --> 0:45:33.239 The way they lost that game. In general, it's kind 0:45:33.239 --> 0:45:35.600 of like this recurring DNA of like, oh yeah, the 0:45:35.640 --> 0:45:38.360 worst possible thing will occur and they can't beat Pittsburgh 0:45:38.360 --> 0:45:39.520 and Pittsburgh and they it. 0:45:39.480 --> 0:45:41.000 Was a lot. It was. It was. 0:45:41.400 --> 0:45:43.840 It wasn't the Monday Night previous. I'm not equating it 0:45:43.880 --> 0:45:47.120 to that. It had some of the same sort of 0:45:47.360 --> 0:45:48.120 horrid energy. 0:45:48.480 --> 0:45:51.759 I would say, if you would allow me, Oh yeah, 0:45:51.800 --> 0:45:56.879 I said, the mask slipped. This was really Monday Night 0:45:56.920 --> 0:46:01.719 was the first real post mark divorce with the Browns 0:46:01.880 --> 0:46:04.880 game in a lot of ways, like week ones busy, 0:46:04.920 --> 0:46:10.000 It's Sunday last year was last year with Watson, Monday night, 0:46:10.440 --> 0:46:13.840 your quarterbacks on the field against the Steelers, and everything 0:46:13.920 --> 0:46:15.560 was still there. It's all still there. 0:46:15.600 --> 0:46:18.920 I'm just no, I like it's all still I acknowledge 0:46:18.960 --> 0:46:22.800 that it agitated me because I see actually more potential 0:46:22.960 --> 0:46:27.719 in this Browns team than anyone in a long long time. 0:46:27.760 --> 0:46:29.560 And it's for me, it's stuff they never had before. 0:46:29.600 --> 0:46:32.200 And it's like the thing that isn't changing or going 0:46:32.239 --> 0:46:35.879 away is how deep their defense is and how much 0:46:35.920 --> 0:46:37.919 it seems to be working under Jim Schwartz. And it's 0:46:37.920 --> 0:46:40.360 like this is a crazy game because they can stop 0:46:40.400 --> 0:46:44.080 the run. They can make life very difficult for Ryan Tannehill. 0:46:44.640 --> 0:46:47.280 That offensive line. I think we could go back somewhere. 0:46:47.320 --> 0:46:49.320 We're not gonna get twenty for twenty four from Tannehill 0:46:49.320 --> 0:46:51.200 this time around, not with the way the secondar is playing. 0:46:51.200 --> 0:46:53.279 They're a little banged up here and there Cleveland, but 0:46:53.760 --> 0:46:56.920 I just trust them to inflict damage. But then you've 0:46:56.920 --> 0:47:00.880 got this Titans defense that is nasty against the the Chargers, 0:47:01.000 --> 0:47:03.000 like ran all over the place, on the Dolphins in 0:47:03.040 --> 0:47:05.080 Week one. They were shut down. Last week they didn't 0:47:05.080 --> 0:47:07.120 have Eckeler, But like, I don't think that's the only 0:47:07.160 --> 0:47:11.160 reason that happened. It's because Tennessee remains a nasty, gritty 0:47:11.200 --> 0:47:14.120 team that's gonna be in close games, and I think 0:47:14.160 --> 0:47:15.960 it's gonna be a tough test for Cleveland. I do 0:47:15.960 --> 0:47:17.960 think Jerome Ford the only thing about the cream Hunt 0:47:17.960 --> 0:47:19.799 is Jerome Ford is a good player. Like, I mean, 0:47:19.800 --> 0:47:21.359 we saw it last week and it's like I'm over 0:47:21.400 --> 0:47:23.279 cream Hunt. Repeated they did, and so I think that 0:47:23.400 --> 0:47:25.720 you've got to It's it's been a tough, tough fantasy 0:47:25.760 --> 0:47:27.239 situation because you don't want to know what the work 0:47:27.239 --> 0:47:29.399 will it'll be, but late they can still run the ball, 0:47:29.440 --> 0:47:32.520 and it's like, hey, Deshaun Watson, it's kind of on 0:47:32.600 --> 0:47:35.320 you to give us something different of a sample size 0:47:35.320 --> 0:47:37.360 than what we've seen over like a season. 0:47:37.400 --> 0:47:37.719 He has. 0:47:38.120 --> 0:47:41.399 I heard this on PFF, Like he's been sacked more 0:47:41.560 --> 0:47:45.040 over the last two seasons than Patrick Mahomes and he 0:47:45.080 --> 0:47:45.920 missed twelve games. 0:47:45.960 --> 0:47:49.520 Hey yeah, I it's really on him now the rest 0:47:49.520 --> 0:47:51.560 of the season, but it's really on him in this 0:47:51.560 --> 0:47:54.640 week because the Titans run defense is so good that 0:47:55.400 --> 0:47:57.040 you have to throw the ball against them, and they're 0:47:57.080 --> 0:47:59.359 vulnerable in the back end. They're a little banged up, 0:47:59.440 --> 0:48:00.960 and this is what you pay for. 0:48:01.040 --> 0:48:02.080 And it's funny. 0:48:02.160 --> 0:48:07.600 I actually think Watson's struggles has been weirdly under talked about. 0:48:07.640 --> 0:48:10.280 Like to me, it's one of the biggest football stories. 0:48:10.320 --> 0:48:14.719 Throw everything else out that that like frustrated me, that 0:48:14.760 --> 0:48:16.879 disgusted me about the Shong warning, Throw all that out 0:48:17.280 --> 0:48:23.160 just from a football vantage point. He's so incredibly disappointing now, 0:48:23.200 --> 0:48:26.000 and you've made all these excuses like when are we 0:48:26.040 --> 0:48:28.480 gonna run out of the always been gone for a 0:48:28.520 --> 0:48:32.920 while excuse, like he's had two full training camps with 0:48:33.040 --> 0:48:35.840 this team, Like he was there all last offseason, he 0:48:35.880 --> 0:48:39.120 was there all this offseason. There are thirty four quarterbacks 0:48:39.120 --> 0:48:41.080 who've had two hundred and fifty dropbacks over the last 0:48:41.080 --> 0:48:44.080 two years. He's dead last in EPA per pass, He's 0:48:44.080 --> 0:48:47.280 twenty ninth in success rate, and he just doesn't look comfortable. 0:48:47.320 --> 0:48:48.880 I think he looks better this year. There are some 0:48:49.000 --> 0:48:51.920 quality throws. I don't think he's gonna be the worst 0:48:51.960 --> 0:48:55.000 quarterback in the league, but right now he's somewhere between 0:48:55.040 --> 0:48:59.280 twenty and thirty, and it's like we just keep making 0:48:59.400 --> 0:49:03.080 excuses where guys like Josh Dobbs or Jacobe Prissett they 0:49:03.080 --> 0:49:06.280 come in and they play around the same level right away, 0:49:06.320 --> 0:49:09.560 and he has to be frustrated. Everyone has to be frustrated. 0:49:09.760 --> 0:49:11.759 They have to make the passing game work. I don't 0:49:11.800 --> 0:49:14.719 know how it's gonna be. But he never looked like 0:49:14.760 --> 0:49:17.440 this in Houston. Yeah, his never looked this uncomfortable. 0:49:17.840 --> 0:49:21.080 I was, you know, very frustrated if you're a Browns fan. 0:49:21.120 --> 0:49:22.960 And certainly, as we talked about on the sideline, you 0:49:22.960 --> 0:49:26.160 could see with Stefanski some of his pocket awareness, and 0:49:26.520 --> 0:49:29.520 that's an issue. Like the fact that the ball the 0:49:29.560 --> 0:49:32.680 strip and score that is partly because he was he 0:49:32.680 --> 0:49:35.160 didn't feel it. He wasn't feeling it taking that late 0:49:35.239 --> 0:49:37.040 sack when they still had a chance. It was just 0:49:37.080 --> 0:49:39.440 he's not feeling it. Now. The pick six at started 0:49:39.480 --> 0:49:41.480 the game, I don't think that was really on him. 0:49:41.480 --> 0:49:43.000 Maybe the pass could have been better, but that was 0:49:43.000 --> 0:49:46.200 a drop into a pick six. And week one I 0:49:46.200 --> 0:49:48.040 think there was some good things, so I'm not like 0:49:48.440 --> 0:49:52.160 I'm not banging the panic button and and making excuses 0:49:52.160 --> 0:49:55.000 for him, but that also was a pretty tough setting. 0:49:55.560 --> 0:49:57.000 You had Chubb going down in that game. 0:49:57.080 --> 0:49:59.279 Eight games like Taylor Heineke would throw in a heater 0:49:59.320 --> 0:49:59.560 on one. 0:49:59.680 --> 0:50:02.120 But again, game you put a lot more stock into 0:50:02.480 --> 0:50:07.760 last year, Like I'm saying my excuses and in terms 0:50:07.760 --> 0:50:10.400 of Watson and saying, what's up with this guy? Give 0:50:10.440 --> 0:50:11.839 me to the end of the month here, let's see, 0:50:11.920 --> 0:50:14.480 let's see what he looks like after four games. Give 0:50:14.520 --> 0:50:17.480 me a little bit more of a sample size. But yeah, 0:50:17.520 --> 0:50:19.680 he's not he's certainly not carrying the team, and that's 0:50:19.680 --> 0:50:20.680 what they kind of need now. 0:50:20.800 --> 0:50:22.759 And it is it is like I'm with you, Greg 0:50:22.800 --> 0:50:24.920 that it's a huge football story because look at how 0:50:24.960 --> 0:50:27.600 we treated like the sharp decline of Russell Wilson that 0:50:27.680 --> 0:50:28.960 was like a shocking. 0:50:28.920 --> 0:50:31.360 To Josh was the story of the week because he 0:50:31.440 --> 0:50:32.120 had a bad week. 0:50:32.280 --> 0:50:35.359 And I mean there's other Rock Purty comes in off 0:50:35.400 --> 0:50:37.440 the street and plays competent football, and it's like we're 0:50:37.440 --> 0:50:40.160 not even getting like how when is the last game 0:50:40.440 --> 0:50:43.040 where a quarterback had two face mask calls against? Like, 0:50:43.080 --> 0:50:44.080 what's going on with this guy? 0:50:45.520 --> 0:50:47.440 It's like a little man, there's a little bit of 0:50:47.480 --> 0:50:52.680 a Yeah, you definitely could see it what he's not comfortable. 0:50:53.080 --> 0:50:56.239 No, this Titans, you should talk a little Titans that 0:50:56.600 --> 0:50:57.560 look the Taji Spears. 0:50:57.680 --> 0:50:58.840 That thing is happening already. 0:50:58.920 --> 0:51:01.520 It's a it's a the eight snaps to seventy eight 0:51:01.600 --> 0:51:04.520 for Henry tip of the sphere. He's been nice and 0:51:04.640 --> 0:51:07.799 d Hop Hopkins is not Julio Jones there, but he's 0:51:07.840 --> 0:51:09.120 also not yet. 0:51:09.600 --> 0:51:10.200 He's a piece. 0:51:10.440 --> 0:51:13.440 He's not yet the hop from Arizona. That might just 0:51:13.520 --> 0:51:14.560 be a situational think. 0:51:14.880 --> 0:51:16.560 They did get the deep ball going last week. I 0:51:16.600 --> 0:51:18.480 wonder if that's even possible against Cleveland. 0:51:18.560 --> 0:51:23.120 This this smells this weeks of twenty to sixteen. I'm 0:51:23.160 --> 0:51:24.759 taking the seventeen thirteen. 0:51:24.680 --> 0:51:26.919 Titans getting three and a half points in this, all. 0:51:26.880 --> 0:51:27.919 Right, I think that's too much. 0:51:27.960 --> 0:51:30.239 All right, Mark, all. 0:51:30.200 --> 0:51:35.239 Right, I'm taking my late game Dallas at Arizona. So 0:51:35.280 --> 0:51:37.720 that means that stadium will probably be seventy five percent 0:51:37.920 --> 0:51:40.920 Cowboys fans. That seems to happen to the Cardinals on 0:51:41.000 --> 0:51:44.920 a weekly basis. Sounds like Brandon Cooks, who practiced Thursday, 0:51:44.920 --> 0:51:49.160 will finally emerge here. I kind of I've been resistant 0:51:49.960 --> 0:51:52.520 to the whole concept of the Cowboys because I think 0:51:52.520 --> 0:51:54.719 there's this part of me that's like, there's no way 0:51:54.760 --> 0:51:57.560 I can do two weeks of Super Bowl lead up 0:51:57.600 --> 0:51:59.880 if it's Jerry Jones and that in this cast of characters. 0:52:00.000 --> 0:52:01.399 But I'm starting just to give in. 0:52:01.320 --> 0:52:04.839 Because why not, it's been They've been in the Super 0:52:04.880 --> 0:52:06.120 Bowl in twenty seven years. 0:52:06.200 --> 0:52:08.640 I'm just saying, I'm beginning to beginning to give into 0:52:08.680 --> 0:52:11.520 the concept a little bit because they look so far 0:52:11.680 --> 0:52:13.840 like the best team in the NFC, like where the 0:52:13.920 --> 0:52:16.719 Eagles are a little not really fully themselves. Yet it 0:52:16.719 --> 0:52:20.040 feels like the Cowboys they got it going on and 0:52:20.040 --> 0:52:24.200 like Dak Prescotte opens thirteen for thirteen last week across 0:52:24.200 --> 0:52:26.200 the field at the same time Zach Wilson and it's 0:52:26.200 --> 0:52:28.239 not a Zach Wilson at nine yards, just that the 0:52:28.280 --> 0:52:31.640 Cowboys came out of came out hot against a pistol, 0:52:31.719 --> 0:52:36.600 a top three defense. Arizona's been really frisky. I watched 0:52:36.640 --> 0:52:39.880 that game closely last Sunday, and guys like Dennis Gardak, 0:52:40.239 --> 0:52:43.480 who has four sacks already, the Barbarian see from like 0:52:43.520 --> 0:52:45.000 Soux Falls or something like that. I don't know where 0:52:45.000 --> 0:52:47.960 it's from, but like he's they've been good on defense. 0:52:47.960 --> 0:52:52.600 They've they've hassled quarterbacks, and Josh Dobbs was frisky that said, 0:52:52.600 --> 0:52:55.000 I just see this to be. This gets to be 0:52:55.040 --> 0:52:57.280 the game where it's like these Cardinals close hanging around 0:52:57.360 --> 0:52:59.200 third fourth quarter. Probably not this time. 0:52:59.800 --> 0:53:02.279 It's a tough ass for the Cowboys. The Cowboys are 0:53:02.320 --> 0:53:04.200 going to come out of these three games probably with 0:53:04.400 --> 0:53:06.480 just an outrageous point differential. 0:53:07.960 --> 0:53:10.480 Well, they have the highest one of their entire franchise 0:53:10.560 --> 0:53:12.560 history since nineteen sixty eight. Right now. 0:53:13.000 --> 0:53:15.800 I thought that Jets game, that first drive was so telling. 0:53:15.880 --> 0:53:17.960 McCarthy at a nice game. Dak had a nice game. 0:53:18.080 --> 0:53:20.000 They knew how to attack that defense. They got rid 0:53:20.040 --> 0:53:22.719 of the ball quickly to kind of mitigate the pass rush. 0:53:22.760 --> 0:53:23.959 But the biggest. 0:53:23.600 --> 0:53:25.600 Play in that game to me was the third and 0:53:25.680 --> 0:53:28.319 six in the red zone to start the game on 0:53:28.400 --> 0:53:30.799 the very first drive, where Dak gets back to the 0:53:30.800 --> 0:53:33.080 top of his drop and the Jets pass rush actually 0:53:33.080 --> 0:53:36.719 won on that play and Dak so decisively just ran 0:53:36.840 --> 0:53:40.080 up the middle. He just looks faster and he looked 0:53:40.960 --> 0:53:42.759 like he made a play he wouldn't have made a 0:53:42.880 --> 0:53:45.520 year ago. And that leads to a touchdown, and you're 0:53:45.560 --> 0:53:49.640 seeing good decision making out of Dak, very very professional 0:53:49.840 --> 0:53:52.840 and you're matching up against some cornerbacks here Kenchroll Clark 0:53:52.880 --> 0:53:55.520 and Marco Wilson, where it's just you're gonna find some mismatches. 0:53:55.640 --> 0:53:57.800 Yeah, And I guess you could look at it a 0:53:57.800 --> 0:53:59.960 couple different ways. But I give credit to Jonathan gan 0:54:00.160 --> 0:54:03.879 In for this team has been competitive in the first 0:54:03.880 --> 0:54:06.719 two weeks, but it could kind of weigh on an 0:54:06.800 --> 0:54:10.200 organization then in the locker room when you have victory 0:54:10.360 --> 0:54:13.279 stolen away from you two straight weeks and now you 0:54:13.360 --> 0:54:15.520 potentially have a buzz sausage, was like the worst time 0:54:15.560 --> 0:54:19.640 to get the Cowboys because they are feeling invincible and 0:54:20.440 --> 0:54:24.160 I think this game is Yeah, this one's got a grizzly, 0:54:24.520 --> 0:54:27.360 grizzly final score attached to it. I believe when we 0:54:27.400 --> 0:54:30.560 talk about it such underdog, certainly. 0:54:30.280 --> 0:54:36.120 Not this week points that's the opposite. Everything is just 0:54:36.239 --> 0:54:38.040 fast for them, right, It's a college spread. 0:54:38.200 --> 0:54:41.720 I love it. They're moving fast, the tempo like everything's fast. 0:54:41.760 --> 0:54:44.560 I thought they again, and I'm a bigger McCarthy fan 0:54:44.840 --> 0:54:47.520 than you guys, but I just thought that entire team 0:54:47.560 --> 0:54:50.200 and Dan Quinn, they were so ready for the Jets 0:54:50.600 --> 0:54:53.359 on both sides of the ball. And if you if 0:54:53.400 --> 0:54:56.120 you were you're watching that game, Bob sala And and 0:54:56.200 --> 0:54:58.480 Nate Hackett, like, man, they just they just took it 0:54:58.520 --> 0:55:01.200 to us. And they had a quarterback playing at high level. 0:55:01.239 --> 0:55:05.879 And we don't Speaking of Mike McCarthy, who's a Beyonce fan. 0:55:07.520 --> 0:55:10.640 I mean, I'm a fan. I certainly listen. 0:55:10.440 --> 0:55:13.040 Best super Bowl halftime show I've ever seen that. I 0:55:13.080 --> 0:55:13.799 don't know if Greg and I. 0:55:13.800 --> 0:55:17.239 Are in the and that was a huge ye know, 0:55:17.280 --> 0:55:18.480 I was a huge Lemonade guy. 0:55:18.560 --> 0:55:19.120 I am. 0:55:19.200 --> 0:55:23.120 I'm the one person that defends the Carters album, you know, 0:55:23.360 --> 0:55:25.520 the one person I like, I feel like no one likes. 0:55:25.560 --> 0:55:27.399 I was like, I feel that's not got a lot 0:55:27.400 --> 0:55:29.200 of spins, Like I wouldn't say that's. 0:55:29.080 --> 0:55:32.239 High in the streaming. Still, yeah, I'll still I think 0:55:32.640 --> 0:55:36.800 I think Lemonade is one of the great albums of 0:55:37.400 --> 0:55:41.279 the last ten years. Which it's bonkers to me. Eric, 0:55:41.320 --> 0:55:46.480 your your wonderful wife saw Beyonce in Vegas and and 0:55:46.520 --> 0:55:48.959 she doesn't play Lemonade at all on this tour, which 0:55:50.360 --> 0:55:51.320 gets me mad. 0:55:51.560 --> 0:55:54.000 Yeah, my wife mainly had she didn't really have a 0:55:54.080 --> 0:55:56.160 problem with the song selection. 0:55:56.239 --> 0:55:59.239 She had a problem with her the area she was 0:55:59.280 --> 0:56:01.200 sitting in not hyped enough for the You gotta be 0:56:01.239 --> 0:56:03.239 hyped up the Beyonce show long way to get to 0:56:03.280 --> 0:56:06.520 the point that Beyonce is playing at at and T Stadium. 0:56:06.880 --> 0:56:08.960 And of course you asked the head coach of the Cowboys, 0:56:08.960 --> 0:56:14.200 you're going to see Beyonce? No, but my family's going. 0:56:15.480 --> 0:56:20.160 It's a work night. For me. It's a work night, okay. 0:56:20.400 --> 0:56:22.080 And guess who's doing a lot of work right now 0:56:22.560 --> 0:56:25.560 leading maybe the best team in football. It's Michael party Zaddy. 0:56:26.040 --> 0:56:27.600 I'm totally with you. Like I think one of the 0:56:27.600 --> 0:56:30.120 things I like really wondered about. 0:56:30.120 --> 0:56:32.320 Work night Rosenthal focus. 0:56:32.920 --> 0:56:34.400 I don't know what if he could if he would be 0:56:34.440 --> 0:56:36.319 a better play caller than Kellen Moore, And I think 0:56:36.360 --> 0:56:37.640 so far it's like there's. 0:56:37.400 --> 0:56:41.160 No I felt that was super overblown this summer, Like 0:56:41.280 --> 0:56:45.880 the Texas Coast offense is humming right now, baby, I 0:56:46.000 --> 0:56:46.440 big time. 0:56:47.080 --> 0:56:50.080 If they have a season that goes away, it looks 0:56:50.120 --> 0:56:54.160 it's going right now. I will really remember how they 0:56:54.239 --> 0:56:57.960 talked about canceling the joint practices in the training game, 0:56:58.040 --> 0:56:58.560 and we were there. 0:56:58.719 --> 0:57:00.000 We could see it with our own eyes. 0:57:00.560 --> 0:57:02.759 We saw it, guys, where this is the guys that 0:57:02.760 --> 0:57:05.400 they're gonna be a great team. When guys they said that, like, 0:57:05.680 --> 0:57:09.720 we don't want another team to come in here. This defense, 0:57:09.760 --> 0:57:12.880 in this offense, that's the best competition we could possibly 0:57:12.920 --> 0:57:13.839 face every day. 0:57:13.920 --> 0:57:14.520 That's pretty good. 0:57:14.520 --> 0:57:15.520 We don't need anything else. 0:57:15.600 --> 0:57:17.560 I was like, whoa, that's pretty good. 0:57:17.880 --> 0:57:24.520 Oh my sir, they're gonna go to the Super Bowl feeling. 0:57:25.240 --> 0:57:28.040 But think about it. I know the Cowboys and a 0:57:28.040 --> 0:57:30.840 lot of people probably agree with you. It's been almost 0:57:30.840 --> 0:57:34.160 thirty years, and I'll tell you what, we've been too 0:57:34.200 --> 0:57:37.439 much of super Bowls. We're very lucky the Cowboys would 0:57:37.520 --> 0:57:40.840 juice that up and you get the Jarra bus rolling 0:57:41.320 --> 0:57:42.600 all over Las Vegas. 0:57:42.680 --> 0:57:44.760 I've wanted it for for a long time. 0:57:44.800 --> 0:57:47.240 I really wanted a Tony Romo super Bowl back in 0:57:47.280 --> 0:57:50.400 the day. I love those Tony Romo teams. But I 0:57:50.640 --> 0:57:52.800 even that that rookie Dac Year. I thought that would 0:57:52.800 --> 0:57:54.560 have been fun. Let's do it, all right? Fine, this 0:57:55.920 --> 0:57:59.000 team of a No, we cannot you cannot do that. 0:57:59.520 --> 0:58:00.200 I'm not really they. 0:58:00.200 --> 0:58:02.400 Read for them, but it would be all right, Greg, 0:58:02.480 --> 0:58:03.240 you are. 0:58:03.720 --> 0:58:07.000 I see what this little sneak, sneaky guy did over here. 0:58:07.040 --> 0:58:09.400 But what by taking shiks games? I see that corner 0:58:09.400 --> 0:58:11.240 in your mouth going up. He took both the ships 0:58:11.280 --> 0:58:15.360 games three, the two of us are getting three. Such 0:58:15.360 --> 0:58:17.000 as a bad luck dude. 0:58:17.440 --> 0:58:18.920 I respect. I don't mind. 0:58:19.160 --> 0:58:21.120 He took hold on. 0:58:21.160 --> 0:58:23.520 You gotta take the beat, hold on, hold on number one. 0:58:23.560 --> 0:58:27.240 There's nothing, there's nothing like entirely genuine that I would 0:58:27.280 --> 0:58:29.960 pick Falcons Lions, and then I took it and had this. 0:58:31.400 --> 0:58:32.480 He knew I was coming that. 0:58:33.240 --> 0:58:35.080 If you look at it, he has a script replying 0:58:35.120 --> 0:58:37.720 to the criticism. I'm sure with highlighters and everything. 0:58:38.560 --> 0:58:43.440 I'm gonna I'm gonna taken because of I'm I'm strange. 0:58:43.480 --> 0:58:44.920 I'm gonna go Broncos Dolphins. 0:58:44.960 --> 0:58:48.560 Actually, that's a fun game Broncos Dolphins on Sunday as 0:58:48.640 --> 0:58:53.280 my second early game. I want to see if Jalen 0:58:53.320 --> 0:58:56.600 Phillips is back in this game for the Dolphins. 0:58:56.720 --> 0:58:58.280 Bradley Chubb was great last week. 0:58:58.280 --> 0:59:01.360 That was against the Patriots offensive bad Ginkle like they 0:59:01.360 --> 0:59:04.200 were much better in terms of their pass rush and 0:59:04.240 --> 0:59:09.000 their defense. Going up against Russ another, you know, potentially 0:59:09.040 --> 0:59:11.840 tough matchup where his offensive line doesn't. When I mentioned 0:59:11.840 --> 0:59:14.919 it wednesday, Mike Muvinchi's really struggled for them. I don't 0:59:14.960 --> 0:59:17.600 see it with Russ right now. There's some great throws, 0:59:17.640 --> 0:59:19.400 but he had those great throws last year in the 0:59:19.400 --> 0:59:20.960 second half of the season two. It's not like he 0:59:21.040 --> 0:59:24.360 was like the worst quarterback in the league. But last 0:59:24.360 --> 0:59:27.120 week there was a sequence where he threw potential interceptions 0:59:27.120 --> 0:59:30.920 on two straight plays. He took two big sacks inside 0:59:30.960 --> 0:59:34.320 the fifteen yard line with the game running down. His 0:59:34.440 --> 0:59:37.920 fumble in the first half turned the game around, and 0:59:37.960 --> 0:59:41.720 it was one of two plays that stuck out with 0:59:41.800 --> 0:59:43.560 me where he was trying to get to the sideline 0:59:43.560 --> 0:59:45.320 and he couldn't quite get it. 0:59:44.880 --> 0:59:46.919 We saw the other one late in the game. 0:59:46.960 --> 0:59:50.320 And so he also missed the slant inside the ten 0:59:50.400 --> 0:59:52.120 yard line with about two and a half minutes ago 0:59:52.120 --> 0:59:53.800 that was just wide open. He hurried it because of 0:59:53.800 --> 0:59:56.360 the pressure. And I don't think things are perfect around him. 0:59:56.360 --> 0:59:59.080 I think the coaching's good, but the protection and the 0:59:59.120 --> 1:00:02.360 weapons are iffy and right now I don't see Russ 1:00:02.520 --> 1:00:05.000 being able to overcome that. And and I think the 1:00:05.080 --> 1:00:07.240 Dolphins could punish him if they have this past week. 1:00:07.400 --> 1:00:09.000 You said he seems like more or less the same. 1:00:09.080 --> 1:00:12.480 I think he's definitely there's an uptick here. Maybe it's 1:00:12.640 --> 1:00:16.560 just the play callings better, a little better. Yeah, whole environment. 1:00:16.680 --> 1:00:18.960 I mean it's a lot of negative plays last week. 1:00:19.120 --> 1:00:22.520 Sure, but he also dropped two beautiful dimes to Marvin Mims. 1:00:22.640 --> 1:00:25.760 He can do that. They you know he is And 1:00:25.760 --> 1:00:29.000 those are money shots. Those are vintage rush shots. You 1:00:29.040 --> 1:00:30.760 can't give a lot of credit for a hail Mary. 1:00:30.800 --> 1:00:32.920 But he put that ball up. He's got, as the 1:00:32.920 --> 1:00:36.600 great TD once said, a sexy deep ball. But yeah, 1:00:37.000 --> 1:00:39.520 it was notable. You noticed his inability to get to 1:00:39.520 --> 1:00:42.360 the sideline. I hated the first fumble. He's like calling 1:00:42.400 --> 1:00:44.640 it that he was down by contact instead of scrambling 1:00:44.680 --> 1:00:48.640 to recover the damn ball. That kind of stuff is uh, 1:00:48.840 --> 1:00:51.680 if you're a Broncos fan, he's driving you crazy. And 1:00:51.680 --> 1:00:54.760 and then one thing, there's a bit of a snowball 1:00:54.800 --> 1:00:58.200 thing with Russ in this Broncos air of his career, 1:00:58.280 --> 1:01:01.080 where you saw that game starting to slip away and 1:01:01.120 --> 1:01:04.040 instead of him being able to make big plays, you're 1:01:04.080 --> 1:01:07.120 having those like really ugly three and out drives and 1:01:07.200 --> 1:01:11.520 danger throws and it's just like really so like, yeah, 1:01:11.680 --> 1:01:14.720 I think I think he is maybe just not a 1:01:14.760 --> 1:01:17.800 difference maker at this point. And and that's what they need. 1:01:17.840 --> 1:01:20.600 And that's why again you look at what's Sean Payton's 1:01:20.640 --> 1:01:22.400 decision is going to be made at if they're zero 1:01:22.400 --> 1:01:25.280 and three after this week and they're or they're one 1:01:25.320 --> 1:01:28.840 and six and a few weeks after, this is russ. 1:01:28.600 --> 1:01:31.640 Long for this offense. I mean, I think that we've 1:01:31.640 --> 1:01:33.959 talked about this, that it all along. I think Sean 1:01:34.000 --> 1:01:36.600 Payton is going to be tempted to make a change. 1:01:36.600 --> 1:01:38.840 I mean, it just seems like the there's a little 1:01:38.840 --> 1:01:40.880 bit of frustration between them too. There's this whole like 1:01:40.920 --> 1:01:42.800 I want him to wear the play call in his 1:01:42.840 --> 1:01:44.840 wrist now Russell Wilson doesn't want to do. It's like 1:01:45.000 --> 1:01:49.880 every week Sean Payton is creating a verbal a symbol 1:01:49.960 --> 1:01:52.320 that verbally that there's they're not aligned. And it was 1:01:52.320 --> 1:01:57.920 like that was obviously like this is Miami's gone to 1:01:57.960 --> 1:02:00.560 and O by being on the road, they are now 1:02:00.600 --> 1:02:03.560 in steamy hot Florida and you're taking a team from 1:02:03.680 --> 1:02:05.920 a high altitude Denver, Like that's a little bit of 1:02:05.920 --> 1:02:08.560 a rough trip even just in terms of environment. I 1:02:08.560 --> 1:02:11.600 would say this like Jill and Wattle, a little banged 1:02:11.680 --> 1:02:13.600 up Tyreek Hill, a little banged. 1:02:13.440 --> 1:02:15.880 Up a concussion in practices. 1:02:16.040 --> 1:02:18.919 That concerns me because, like I think when they're there, 1:02:19.080 --> 1:02:23.480 everyone else obviously is just so much more utilized around 1:02:23.520 --> 1:02:25.440 them in the correctly slotted Like you can't have one 1:02:25.480 --> 1:02:28.800 of those guys go. The Dolphins have been like unsolvable 1:02:28.800 --> 1:02:31.080 on offense, and it's kind of like they're a fascinating 1:02:31.120 --> 1:02:34.280 watch to see what team, which defense can kind of 1:02:34.320 --> 1:02:36.400 come in and make life very frustrating for Tua, like 1:02:36.440 --> 1:02:38.440 a number happened a number of games last year, but 1:02:38.480 --> 1:02:40.760 they got out of the gate quickly. The only little 1:02:40.760 --> 1:02:44.320 thing and we noticed this on Sunday Night, Like Tua, 1:02:44.480 --> 1:02:47.640 some of the center quarterback snap exchange has been a problem. 1:02:47.680 --> 1:02:50.680 They fumbled in Week one after a nice long drive 1:02:50.720 --> 1:02:52.520 and like Connor Williams because it was we were gonna 1:02:52.600 --> 1:02:55.760 MGD in the screening room, and it's like you went 1:02:55.800 --> 1:02:57.760 from guard to center, and for us, it's just like cool, 1:02:58.400 --> 1:03:00.240 that's fine that you just play. You're just playing a 1:03:00.280 --> 1:03:03.000 different positions. Like it's kind of like asking Dan to 1:03:03.000 --> 1:03:05.200 come in and not be a podcast host, but like 1:03:05.880 --> 1:03:08.680 run complex Excel spreadsheets, Like it's like it's a new skill. 1:03:08.720 --> 1:03:09.600 You could probably do it. 1:03:09.760 --> 1:03:11.800 I mean, it's not your like sitting on this side 1:03:11.840 --> 1:03:14.080 of the table and in someone else hosting. 1:03:14.760 --> 1:03:16.960 I'm just saying like, it's like you're still part of 1:03:16.960 --> 1:03:20.400 the company, but we're changing your position entirely. It's not 1:03:20.440 --> 1:03:22.320 that easy to go play center if you've never done it, 1:03:22.360 --> 1:03:23.320 and there's been problems. 1:03:23.680 --> 1:03:28.680 Let's see the Dolphins last week against the Patriots, a 1:03:28.760 --> 1:03:31.760 top flight defense. Yeah, they still still put up almost 1:03:31.760 --> 1:03:34.400 four hundred total yards and I think this is going 1:03:34.440 --> 1:03:36.600 to be one of those look out. 1:03:36.680 --> 1:03:37.640 They could have more too. 1:03:37.640 --> 1:03:40.960 I feel like the Patriots is mostly unforced errors by 1:03:41.000 --> 1:03:42.480 the Dolphins. 1:03:42.680 --> 1:03:45.400 Watch Out six and a half points is the bleeding 1:03:45.560 --> 1:03:48.880 edge of the lock zone. And yet I have Eric 1:03:49.000 --> 1:03:52.280 Roberts telling me there's somebody that wants to chime in 1:03:52.320 --> 1:03:52.720 with something. 1:03:52.800 --> 1:03:55.320 Yes, guys, no video submission this week though, but the 1:03:55.360 --> 1:03:56.400 Westling broad. 1:03:58.120 --> 1:04:00.720 From Cincinnati very quiet. 1:04:01.320 --> 1:04:03.760 It was Snake's birthday yesterday. 1:04:04.200 --> 1:04:05.960 Been that wasn't quiet. That exchanged. 1:04:06.280 --> 1:04:08.800 There was a lot that was a spicy. There is 1:04:08.880 --> 1:04:11.120 talk about you know who's actually making these picks. He 1:04:11.160 --> 1:04:12.920 did say we will be locking. 1:04:12.720 --> 1:04:15.920 Up the Dolphins. Okay, so maybe there's some peace in 1:04:15.960 --> 1:04:16.360 the zoo. 1:04:16.440 --> 1:04:18.200 I would bet there's the need. 1:04:18.240 --> 1:04:20.680 What it looks like a safe pick on paper, But 1:04:20.800 --> 1:04:22.760 I would I would, I would hazard to go back 1:04:22.800 --> 1:04:25.280 to the archives. I don't necessarily think like six point 1:04:25.280 --> 1:04:28.240 favorites have done that much better than three point favorites 1:04:28.280 --> 1:04:29.120 in this exercise. 1:04:29.160 --> 1:04:32.040 It's not that big. You would think if the brothers 1:04:32.040 --> 1:04:34.760 they fight like cats and dogs at the zoo, Yeah, 1:04:34.760 --> 1:04:37.400 it's a problem. However, they do love each other, and 1:04:37.560 --> 1:04:41.640 I think after the madness of locking up the Jets 1:04:41.640 --> 1:04:44.840 on the road, maybe there was a come to Jesus, 1:04:45.000 --> 1:04:47.840 brother and brother, like give the way. 1:04:48.120 --> 1:04:51.000 It's a cornered animal. Game three. You can't go and. 1:04:51.080 --> 1:04:54.000 Salmon Ary howell when it's time on Thanksgiving a break 1:04:54.040 --> 1:04:57.000 bread and chop it up, Like, no matter what they 1:04:57.000 --> 1:04:59.160 don't see eye to eye on they at the end 1:04:59.160 --> 1:04:59.920 of the day their blood. 1:05:00.040 --> 1:05:02.040 You put the differences behind you. 1:05:02.320 --> 1:05:06.000 Sam's Terry, Nick, Phil, I think it's all peas in 1:05:06.080 --> 1:05:07.960 the pod. Let's take a break and we'll be right 1:05:08.000 --> 1:05:11.360 back with the rest of the draft. All right, we're 1:05:11.400 --> 1:05:15.880 back back to Zeusser. You know, Mark, this is a 1:05:15.920 --> 1:05:18.600 team at the end of the day. And I'm glad 1:05:18.680 --> 1:05:21.200 Greg called you on that because the public should know, 1:05:22.080 --> 1:05:23.680 Like it was one thing to be texting me at 1:05:23.680 --> 1:05:25.439 the vet when my dog's life was hanging the bounce 1:05:25.480 --> 1:05:28.560 about football. I've apologized for that that I could, and 1:05:28.560 --> 1:05:31.360 and Greg trying to earn a living on live television. 1:05:31.640 --> 1:05:33.400 It wasn't so much about what I was doing. It's 1:05:33.400 --> 1:05:34.680 more of the emotional weight. 1:05:34.800 --> 1:05:37.680 We're not going to be a repeat. 1:05:37.720 --> 1:05:40.120 But here's the thing we we we let you off 1:05:40.120 --> 1:05:42.320 the hook for that and said we understand you're a 1:05:42.320 --> 1:05:45.560 complex man and you're an emotional man. But then to 1:05:45.640 --> 1:05:48.720 turn around twenty four hours later and stab us in 1:05:48.760 --> 1:05:53.360 the back. That was a little bit of a need. 1:05:53.480 --> 1:05:55.720 To understand what it is you're accusing me of.

He's now 1:06:25.840 --> 1:06:31.680 building an entire ecosystem, like building blocks onto See, aren't 1:06:31.720 --> 1:06:34.000 you actually happy that you're doing more work? So I 1:06:34.080 --> 1:06:35.040 won't be crazy. 1:06:35.360 --> 1:06:37.080 I mean, from a certain point of view, I think 1:06:37.080 --> 1:06:37.800 I've made a good point. 1:06:37.840 --> 1:06:39.400 Yeah, I think it's been there. 1:06:39.520 --> 1:06:40.240 I mean I'm. 1:06:40.120 --> 1:06:42.960 Impressed the first of all. 1:06:43.200 --> 1:06:44.520 First of all, this is some like. 1:06:44.520 --> 1:06:47.000 Usual suspect stuff going on right now, where like. 1:06:48.080 --> 1:06:49.600 I think there's going to be a you know, a 1:06:49.680 --> 1:06:52.600 branch of the audience that realizes I was just cunning, 1:06:52.720 --> 1:06:55.280 Like you could have blocked me from doing what I've done, 1:06:55.440 --> 1:06:57.560 and I'm not going to apologize for it because it 1:06:57.640 --> 1:06:58.560 was next level. 1:06:58.560 --> 1:06:59.440 There's also a branch. 1:06:59.480 --> 1:07:02.360 It's actually this guy in Chicago, Larry, and he's listening 1:07:02.360 --> 1:07:02.920 for the first time. 1:07:02.960 --> 1:07:06.280 He has no idea what we're talking about, well, no idea. 1:07:06.920 --> 1:07:07.840 Fast forward fifteen. 1:07:07.840 --> 1:07:11.520 So I love it. Mark. I have to say, like, oh, 1:07:12.280 --> 1:07:15.040 old wacky, irreverent Mark. He's doing his own thing. 1:07:15.120 --> 1:07:18.920 But the whole time Falcons lights. First of that, that's interesting, 1:07:19.000 --> 1:07:20.560 and then the old dirty. 1:07:20.200 --> 1:07:22.080 Dog, old dirty Dog is back. 1:07:22.520 --> 1:07:24.920 I did pick games. I want to watch those, so, 1:07:25.760 --> 1:07:28.640 but you're not going to be their next We're getting 1:07:28.680 --> 1:07:29.960 we're getting too far on the weeds here. 1:07:32.320 --> 1:07:34.920 All right, I am up and I will go with 1:07:35.000 --> 1:07:36.560 I need to grab a late game because I have 1:07:36.600 --> 1:07:39.080 so many games i'm responsible for now, the way this 1:07:39.160 --> 1:07:41.680 all happened, I'll grab the Bears at the Chiefs. 1:07:42.320 --> 1:07:44.240 Don't have any other choice. The other two have been taken. 1:07:44.360 --> 1:07:47.200 Yeah, let's talk about let's talk about the Bears real quick. 1:07:47.880 --> 1:07:50.400 The Bears. There's some weird stuff going on the Bears. 1:07:50.400 --> 1:07:53.440 So of course we hit on the Wednesday show. Uh, 1:07:54.160 --> 1:07:58.880 Justin Fields coming out and more or less pointing fingers 1:07:58.960 --> 1:08:02.280 and uh and saying that he's thinking too much in 1:08:02.320 --> 1:08:04.760 the pocket, he's not being himself. And he then was 1:08:04.920 --> 1:08:07.000 asked a follow up question and said, yeah, it's the 1:08:07.080 --> 1:08:10.560 kind of the coaching might be the culprit. He obviously 1:08:11.720 --> 1:08:15.000 walks that back once the media blows up, which, by 1:08:15.000 --> 1:08:17.000 the way, this is a big part of being same 1:08:17.040 --> 1:08:18.920 thing happened. If you remember Zach Wilson after a bad 1:08:18.920 --> 1:08:22.280 game last year. Part of being a young franchise passer 1:08:22.439 --> 1:08:25.280 is knowing how to handle adversity and saying the right things. 1:08:25.320 --> 1:08:28.080 It's like an underrated part of the job. And this 1:08:28.120 --> 1:08:30.800 is a hard lesson. Justin Fields is learning in real time. 1:08:30.840 --> 1:08:34.040 Here's Justin Field's trying to put some of the toothpaste 1:08:34.040 --> 1:08:35.439 back in the old tube. 1:08:36.040 --> 1:08:37.960 I love you guys, but you know I get that 1:08:38.000 --> 1:08:39.880 you guys' jobs are to get clicked. 1:08:39.880 --> 1:08:43.400 So it's like, oh, stop it, wait, stop it right there. 1:08:43.320 --> 1:08:45.400 To get no no, no, no, no no there because the 1:08:45.400 --> 1:08:48.000 rest of it actually had no context where I think. 1:08:47.840 --> 1:08:50.759 We're gonna play it, Greg, But I don't. I don't 1:08:50.840 --> 1:08:55.000 like the setup there because right there he's already saying 1:08:55.040 --> 1:08:57.920 it's the media's fault and you turn this into something 1:08:58.479 --> 1:09:01.920 no bud like, I'm gonna listen to it, Greg, But 1:09:02.040 --> 1:09:04.320 when that's the way you set it up, you're saying 1:09:04.720 --> 1:09:07.479 you're the ones that made this a story. I didn't 1:09:07.520 --> 1:09:10.280 really do anything now here. I am clarifying the mess 1:09:10.280 --> 1:09:13.959 that you made. Yeah, and it's again it's an accountability situation. 1:09:14.160 --> 1:09:16.240 Yeah, telling them they just want clicks. It's like kind 1:09:16.280 --> 1:09:18.880 of also saying their entire trade is sort of figure. 1:09:18.960 --> 1:09:22.000 You said you're not thinking, and then you and a 1:09:22.080 --> 1:09:24.240 follow up question said, yeah, the coaching is playing a 1:09:24.240 --> 1:09:26.840 part that was out of your mouth. The media's job 1:09:26.920 --> 1:09:29.320 is to report upon what you say and then give 1:09:29.320 --> 1:09:32.080 it context for all right, let's listen again. 1:09:33.040 --> 1:09:34.960 I love you guys, but you know I get that 1:09:35.000 --> 1:09:37.320 you guys's jobs are to get clicked. So it's like 1:09:38.280 --> 1:09:40.519 when you take my quote out of context, when when 1:09:40.560 --> 1:09:43.120 you just say that, if you paint the picture on 1:09:43.160 --> 1:09:45.160 the inside out, like y'all are trying to split it, 1:09:45.200 --> 1:09:46.080 split us up as a team. 1:09:46.800 --> 1:09:48.280 I'm not blaming anything on the coaches. 1:09:48.640 --> 1:09:50.519 I'm never gonna blame anything on the coaches, never gonna 1:09:50.520 --> 1:09:54.200 blame anything on my teammates. I will take every whatever 1:09:54.240 --> 1:09:55.720 happens in the game, I will take all the blame. 1:09:55.760 --> 1:09:57.920 I don't care it's a drop past, it should have 1:09:57.960 --> 1:09:58.360 been a past. 1:09:58.479 --> 1:09:59.000 Put it on me. 1:09:59.400 --> 1:10:02.519 But never will you hear anything come out of my 1:10:02.520 --> 1:10:04.559 mouth to where I will blame it on somebody else 1:10:05.000 --> 1:10:07.200 in this organization, my teammates. 1:10:07.280 --> 1:10:09.519 Never will you hear that. But he did, he did 1:10:09.560 --> 1:10:12.160 do that, and but it's the media's fault. 1:10:13.040 --> 1:10:13.960 I think I think. 1:10:13.840 --> 1:10:18.439 There's something in between though, too, because the question literally 1:10:18.680 --> 1:10:21.839 prompted him with is it coaching? And and he answered 1:10:21.880 --> 1:10:24.760 it and he said, I think that's fair to point out. 1:10:24.800 --> 1:10:27.080 And I did watch that whole press com and he 1:10:27.160 --> 1:10:29.760 goes on about it, and he says that, and then 1:10:29.800 --> 1:10:32.479 he takes accountability afterwards with saying I need to do 1:10:32.520 --> 1:10:35.200 a better job. So I agree, heed, he does need 1:10:35.240 --> 1:10:37.920 to do a better job answering this question. But it's 1:10:37.960 --> 1:10:41.839 also he wasn't just throwing the coaches under the bus. 1:10:42.120 --> 1:10:44.960 Like the context was. They phrased it in a way 1:10:45.000 --> 1:10:47.639 that said is coaching part of it? And he said yes, 1:10:47.680 --> 1:10:49.439 and he said and I'm also part of it too, 1:10:49.560 --> 1:10:52.960 which is the truth. But I think it's also it's like, hey, 1:10:52.439 --> 1:10:54.880 I think like he should try to get it. 1:10:55.000 --> 1:10:57.080 Take it when you're the quarterback, Greg, I get it, so. 1:10:57.360 --> 1:10:59.719 The franchise in a better way, But I don't think it's. 1:10:59.640 --> 1:11:02.719 Like to take the bullet. Sometimes, even if you don't 1:11:02.840 --> 1:11:06.679 always have, you don't share everything because it causes more 1:11:06.800 --> 1:11:09.360 drama for the team. And I just think it's a 1:11:09.400 --> 1:11:12.040 bad look in terms of accountability to say what he 1:11:12.120 --> 1:11:15.200 said on Tuesday and then the next day come out 1:11:15.240 --> 1:11:17.920 and say it's your fault the media, here's the truth. 1:11:17.960 --> 1:11:20.880 It's like, so that's the thing, Like it's like it 1:11:20.960 --> 1:11:22.600 is fair. I think for some of these players that 1:11:22.720 --> 1:11:25.680 learn this this way by stepping in it that like 1:11:26.720 --> 1:11:28.479 most people aren't going to want to read the full 1:11:28.600 --> 1:11:31.360 entire passage that you said verbally the day before. They're 1:11:31.400 --> 1:11:33.439 going to see the headline. They're gonna think you're hitting 1:11:33.479 --> 1:11:36.160 out at your coaching staff. The Bears are a hot mess. 1:11:35.720 --> 1:11:38.479 So for it was, but he was so. 1:11:38.560 --> 1:11:39.000 But from that. 1:11:38.960 --> 1:11:39.920 Angle, I see what he's saying. 1:11:39.920 --> 1:11:41.759 But he just can't. You just don't don't. 1:11:41.520 --> 1:11:45.040 Do this again. You're buying his version of the I'm saying. 1:11:45.080 --> 1:11:47.840 What I'm saying is it's he should have He's it's 1:11:47.880 --> 1:11:50.840 a learning right moment for a twenty four year old 1:11:51.000 --> 1:11:54.519 who answered, and that's who answered the question honestly, and 1:11:54.640 --> 1:11:58.120 also in the same press conference was talking very he's 1:11:58.200 --> 1:12:00.599 kind of opening in his heart of like I'm being 1:12:00.720 --> 1:12:03.439 robotic and I'm going through this like he's struggling through 1:12:03.479 --> 1:12:05.720 it publicly, And you're right, I think you'll learn from 1:12:05.760 --> 1:12:07.360 it not to not to answer in. 1:12:07.320 --> 1:12:10.680 That there's no like long history of Justin Fields being 1:12:10.720 --> 1:12:12.759 anything but a good teammate. And like he said stuff 1:12:12.800 --> 1:12:15.400 like this before, like put it on media, blah blah blah. 1:12:15.479 --> 1:12:17.320 He just you can't do this every week. You can't 1:12:17.320 --> 1:12:18.200 be the headline everywhere. 1:12:18.240 --> 1:12:20.160 And I think, but when he's even saying I'm being 1:12:20.280 --> 1:12:22.280 robotic and there's too much going on in my head. 1:12:22.320 --> 1:12:24.880 That was coded language for the coaching staffs is putting 1:12:24.920 --> 1:12:26.599 too much. And then he went out. 1:12:28.200 --> 1:12:30.439 Part of his coaching, which is which matters to me, 1:12:31.120 --> 1:12:33.880 So that part like does matter to me sometimes the 1:12:34.520 --> 1:12:38.200 like there's a fake taking blame for everything. That is 1:12:38.240 --> 1:12:41.280 also as you know, people love it, but when it's fake, 1:12:41.320 --> 1:12:42.439 it's also not helpful. 1:12:42.600 --> 1:12:44.240 It's not honest. 1:12:43.520 --> 1:12:46.080 When I believe it is helpful sometimes, like if the 1:12:46.120 --> 1:12:48.320 Bears have a fireway to do it. If the Bears 1:12:48.360 --> 1:12:50.960 have a fire in their locker room, Okay, I think 1:12:51.040 --> 1:12:55.360 part of the quarterback's job is not to put gasoline 1:12:55.400 --> 1:12:57.599 on that fire and make it more of a public situation. 1:12:58.040 --> 1:12:59.640 Like he needs to do what he needs to do 1:12:59.640 --> 1:13:01.360 behind the scenes to get on the same page with 1:13:01.400 --> 1:13:04.400 the coaching staff, not making a story because that is 1:13:04.439 --> 1:13:07.880 a distraction that causes more drama and that fuels maybe 1:13:07.920 --> 1:13:09.920 doubt in that locker room when the quarterbacks out telling 1:13:09.960 --> 1:13:13.120 the media how he truly feels like and. 1:13:14.200 --> 1:13:15.320 I'm not gonna do this every week. 1:13:15.640 --> 1:13:17.559 I'm saying I'm not killing him because he is a 1:13:17.600 --> 1:13:19.720 he's a kid, and he's learning how to be this 1:13:19.840 --> 1:13:22.600 way but the thing, I guess you could say it 1:13:22.640 --> 1:13:25.120 was triggered by but it's just like when he opens 1:13:25.200 --> 1:13:28.160 his his cleanup by saying, you guys did this not me? 1:13:28.280 --> 1:13:32.800 I was like, Okay, that's and that's not even the 1:13:32.800 --> 1:13:35.760 only thing that's going on with the Bears. Because Alan Williams, 1:13:35.800 --> 1:13:38.000 after some mystery, he wasn't on the sideline for the 1:13:38.040 --> 1:13:41.519 Bears the defensive coordinator last week, he suddenly resigned as 1:13:41.560 --> 1:13:44.479 their DC, the team announced on Wednesday, And Greg and 1:13:44.560 --> 1:13:47.360 speaking of media and how the sport's covered, there's some 1:13:47.920 --> 1:13:52.400 potentially ugly business about like how people throw things out 1:13:52.439 --> 1:13:56.080 there without any true sources, and there was some things 1:13:56.080 --> 1:13:59.919 going on about the law enforcement rating the Bears complex 1:14:00.240 --> 1:14:03.439 they had to officially deny, and maybe there's more that 1:14:03.479 --> 1:14:05.559 will come out of the story, but as from where 1:14:05.560 --> 1:14:07.559 we are right now, that was all bogus. There was 1:14:07.600 --> 1:14:11.040 some like Dob Kleinman types out there throwing a bunch 1:14:11.080 --> 1:14:13.559 of junk out there and then it caught viral, and 1:14:13.600 --> 1:14:15.880 that was just like an ugly learning lesson I think 1:14:15.920 --> 1:14:17.720 for everyone that just like you got to trust the 1:14:17.720 --> 1:14:20.840 insiders on stuff like this and not necessarily just what's 1:14:20.880 --> 1:14:23.400 floating around the internet. All we know right now is 1:14:23.439 --> 1:14:25.680 it was explained to be a family health issue and 1:14:25.720 --> 1:14:28.599 he's leaving the team. Nothing more than that. 1:14:28.520 --> 1:14:32.439 Big media lesson day for everyone yesterday. A lot happening 1:14:32.600 --> 1:14:33.160 right and there. 1:14:33.560 --> 1:14:36.080 There might be class to Northeastern You. 1:14:36.320 --> 1:14:38.520 The more to this story. 1:14:39.160 --> 1:14:44.320 That is a completely different story than the bogus rumors 1:14:44.360 --> 1:14:45.400 that were out there. 1:14:45.479 --> 1:14:46.479 That wouldn't surprise me. 1:14:46.760 --> 1:14:49.960 It has been a strained situation where the Bears reporters, 1:14:50.000 --> 1:14:53.400 the ones you can trust, we're given the clear impression 1:14:53.520 --> 1:14:57.960 it was not a health issue when he disappeared last week, 1:14:58.040 --> 1:15:01.200 and so we don't know what happened here, but he's 1:15:01.200 --> 1:15:05.760 gone from the team, and it just is another indication 1:15:05.920 --> 1:15:09.040 that this organization is spinning its wheels and it's been 1:15:09.080 --> 1:15:11.639 one of the worst, you know, organizations in the NFL 1:15:11.800 --> 1:15:12.280 for a minute. 1:15:12.280 --> 1:15:15.240 And oh, by the way, they're left tackle. They're really nice. 1:15:15.280 --> 1:15:20.360 Surprise rookie pick last year is uninjured reserve now like 1:15:20.400 --> 1:15:22.720 their left guard. So that that, to me, just from 1:15:22.760 --> 1:15:25.599 a football vantage point, was a pretty massive deal for. 1:15:25.560 --> 1:15:27.439 This It's the Chicago Zoo, or you could call the 1:15:27.520 --> 1:15:30.519 Chicago Fire right now. Weird that they named like an 1:15:30.600 --> 1:15:33.240 MLS team Chicago fire because that was a horrific tragedy 1:15:33.280 --> 1:15:35.320 in the history of that city that I. 1:15:35.320 --> 1:15:37.920 Don't think they're pointing to that necessarily, but you're right, 1:15:37.920 --> 1:15:39.360 it's hard to eat. They parallel. 1:15:39.400 --> 1:15:41.320 Maybe they got to be pointing to it. They can't be. 1:15:41.479 --> 1:15:42.720 It's not like they hadn't heard of it. 1:15:42.800 --> 1:15:45.120 But that job by year, it's almost. 1:15:44.840 --> 1:15:49.320 Like they're taking ownership, reclaiming the uh, the fire. Anyway, 1:15:49.400 --> 1:15:51.080 the Chiefs are in this game. Yeah, the Chiefs are 1:15:51.120 --> 1:15:51.800 in the game too. 1:15:52.120 --> 1:15:55.280 Uh. And by the way, football Twitter or football Ax 1:15:55.360 --> 1:15:58.639 does have a lot of videos out there of justin 1:15:58.640 --> 1:16:01.519 fields with like open Ric is just sitting there and 1:16:01.520 --> 1:16:03.360 we're talking about that he's not making the reads and 1:16:03.400 --> 1:16:05.400 he said he's gonna open it up. That's an interesting 1:16:05.479 --> 1:16:07.560 reason to watch this game. Do we see just I 1:16:07.600 --> 1:16:09.200 think we're gonna see him runing football a. 1:16:09.120 --> 1:16:11.760 Lot four yards last year to that and hopefully he 1:16:11.760 --> 1:16:12.400 can stay healthy. 1:16:12.400 --> 1:16:14.439 And the Chiefs, I think there's something here Gregy like 1:16:14.840 --> 1:16:17.799 the offense week one and so he's a little funky 1:16:17.840 --> 1:16:20.559 in the Detroit and the drops and missing Kelsey. But 1:16:20.600 --> 1:16:22.320 week two they could not get it going in Week 1:16:22.360 --> 1:16:24.240 two either on offense, so they can have a breakout. 1:16:24.240 --> 1:16:25.800 This seems like a great setup for it. 1:16:26.000 --> 1:16:28.439 If they don't put up thirty plus in this game, 1:16:28.520 --> 1:16:30.120 something's seriously wrong. 1:16:30.200 --> 1:16:32.000 Yes, it's one of the reasons I love this job. 1:16:32.080 --> 1:16:35.960 Like the Chiefs coming back this year, like you would 1:16:35.960 --> 1:16:38.280 think there's a lot of carryover, but these teams really 1:16:38.320 --> 1:16:38.960 do change. 1:16:39.000 --> 1:16:41.719 The defense is different. They've given up twenty three points 1:16:41.760 --> 1:16:45.839 combined in two weeks against the Jaguars and the Lions. 1:16:46.240 --> 1:16:51.559 Fourteen against the Lions offense, nine against the Jaguars. Chris 1:16:51.640 --> 1:16:54.960 Jones looked amazing. Their linebackers are great. Lajerius Sneid weirdly 1:16:55.000 --> 1:16:57.000 as the one guy struggling. He doesn't look right. 1:16:57.200 --> 1:16:58.920 So their defense, this I think, is going to be 1:16:58.960 --> 1:17:01.920 the best defense of the Patrick Mahomes era, and yet 1:17:02.120 --> 1:17:04.840 through two weeks it's clearly the worst offense he started 1:17:04.960 --> 1:17:07.960 ninety six games. Chiocopatia of The Ringer pointed this out. 1:17:08.840 --> 1:17:11.360 Last week's start was ninety six out of ninety six 1:17:11.840 --> 1:17:14.800 in success rate of any start he had, and the 1:17:14.840 --> 1:17:17.920 first game Week one was ninety second out of ninety six. 1:17:17.960 --> 1:17:20.920 So two of the worst offensive games of the Mahomes era. 1:17:21.240 --> 1:17:23.599 What's worse about the offense from last year. I think, 1:17:23.720 --> 1:17:26.160 first of all, like the enemy's gone, but he didn't 1:17:26.200 --> 1:17:26.759 call the plays. 1:17:26.800 --> 1:17:28.200 I don't think it's to be enemy thing. I mean, 1:17:28.240 --> 1:17:31.040 I think that's it's going to take time. But they tackled. 1:17:31.080 --> 1:17:33.920 You were hoping Kadarius Tony was going to be a 1:17:33.920 --> 1:17:36.200 so called number one wide out. They don't have that guy, 1:17:36.600 --> 1:17:37.400 like you're You're. 1:17:37.360 --> 1:17:40.400 They didn't have that last year either, right, Juju was valued. 1:17:40.760 --> 1:17:42.360 I thought it was a little much to put this 1:17:42.400 --> 1:17:43.000 on Juju. 1:17:43.240 --> 1:17:45.160 It's not so much like the parts they had last 1:17:45.240 --> 1:17:47.360 year this year, but like he spread it to a 1:17:48.080 --> 1:17:48.599 different people. 1:17:48.720 --> 1:17:51.120 I think I think we got maybe a fifty Burger's great. 1:17:51.400 --> 1:17:54.400 I think they'll be okay, But I think it's okay 1:17:54.439 --> 1:17:58.559 to at least believe that by the end of the season, 1:17:58.640 --> 1:18:01.080 maybe they're not that you of old and that they're 1:18:01.120 --> 1:18:03.320 trying to win in slightly different ways where they're like 1:18:03.640 --> 1:18:06.360 the sixth best offense but the ninth best defense, you 1:18:06.400 --> 1:18:09.600 know what I mean, Like that they're not this unbelievably 1:18:09.600 --> 1:18:10.519 other worldly offense. 1:18:10.680 --> 1:18:11.040 I don't know. 1:18:11.080 --> 1:18:13.160 So that's kind of what I thought last year was 1:18:13.200 --> 1:18:15.080 going to be. And then Mahomes put up some of 1:18:15.080 --> 1:18:18.600 his greatest numbers ever with an otherwise pedestrian offense. So 1:18:18.600 --> 1:18:20.360 that's what I mean, Like, what has changed? You still 1:18:20.400 --> 1:18:23.280 have Andy Reid, still have Pat Mahomes, you know. Yeah, 1:18:23.520 --> 1:18:25.680 the tackles need to be better. I'm you know what, 1:18:26.080 --> 1:18:27.960 it's a fifty Bokay. 1:18:27.360 --> 1:18:30.560 It's September twenty first, I'm nothing to get too concerned. 1:18:30.320 --> 1:18:34.760 About the Chicago Bears going to Arrowhead to try to 1:18:34.800 --> 1:18:37.120 fit and the Chiefs are like trying to figure themselves 1:18:37.160 --> 1:18:40.280 out what a get right spot for that offense? All right? 1:18:41.080 --> 1:18:45.479 That leads back to me again, doesn't it. It is okay? 1:18:46.120 --> 1:18:49.080 And by the way, credit to WGN TV on that 1:18:49.320 --> 1:18:50.000 fields video. 1:18:50.240 --> 1:18:53.000 Did we mention the Chiefs are twelve and a half favorites. 1:18:53.200 --> 1:18:56.280 That is a lot of wood to lay the other game. 1:18:56.320 --> 1:18:58.960 I gotta grab another one, thanks Mark. The Saints at 1:18:59.200 --> 1:19:04.960 you after, Yeah, Saints at Packers kind of like it. 1:19:05.120 --> 1:19:06.000 Yeah, that's a fun one. 1:19:06.080 --> 1:19:09.439 Saints getting two in this one. I like the Saints more. 1:19:09.600 --> 1:19:12.880 I liked our car Moore. I think they're interesting. They're 1:19:12.960 --> 1:19:15.639 running now, they're there. Depth chart in the is getting 1:19:15.680 --> 1:19:18.519 tested more because Al mcquarter is one game left on 1:19:18.600 --> 1:19:21.519 the suspension and now Jamal Williams. I think he's got 1:19:21.520 --> 1:19:24.080 a hammy that it doesn't maybe look so hot. 1:19:24.200 --> 1:19:26.599 Sounds like it might be a multiple weeks for him. 1:19:26.520 --> 1:19:30.599 Wolf, So you're gonna not have much of a running 1:19:30.640 --> 1:19:36.760 game here now. The Packers famously struggled mightily stopping the 1:19:36.840 --> 1:19:41.599 run against the Falcons in Week two, but I don't 1:19:41.600 --> 1:19:43.680 think that's gonna be as big of an issue. I 1:19:43.760 --> 1:19:45.920 do want to see the Packers. Are we going to 1:19:46.000 --> 1:19:48.759 get healthy? Are we having our guys back yet? Christian 1:19:48.760 --> 1:19:51.320 wattson Aaron Jones, because I think that's gonna make a 1:19:51.320 --> 1:19:54.400 hell of a dividence. And I've been very interested in 1:19:55.120 --> 1:19:57.840 the quarterback Jordan Love so far. What would he look 1:19:57.920 --> 1:20:00.839 like with a full compliment against a defense? 1:20:00.920 --> 1:20:03.280 I guess I guess what like you could say is 1:20:03.880 --> 1:20:07.200 sort of a quiet positive about not having like Watson 1:20:07.200 --> 1:20:10.040 in there early on, is that Jayden Reid I thought, 1:20:10.040 --> 1:20:13.840 has looked really good. Dontavian Wicks is making plays for them, 1:20:13.840 --> 1:20:15.960 like there's such a young offense. We've talked about that 1:20:16.040 --> 1:20:17.800 a lot on NFL Plus on Money when we looked 1:20:17.800 --> 1:20:20.040 at that Falcons game. You're not gonna have to deal 1:20:20.080 --> 1:20:22.639 with b John Robinson in this situation. I think Green 1:20:22.640 --> 1:20:25.720 Bay's defense uh got worked over last week by that 1:20:25.760 --> 1:20:28.720 ground game. But I see things to like and it's 1:20:28.720 --> 1:20:32.200 like we're in another universe. Kway Walker has like multiple 1:20:32.240 --> 1:20:35.400 scores this season versus having dropped that what all these 1:20:35.439 --> 1:20:39.439 their little mistakes last week ritters you know, to two 1:20:39.479 --> 1:20:41.439 balls that absolutely should have been picked off. One of 1:20:41.479 --> 1:20:43.160 them should have been a pick six, if not both, 1:20:43.280 --> 1:20:46.440 Like that game is entirely different. 1:20:46.080 --> 1:20:50.000 Despite missing their four of their best players on offense. 1:20:50.040 --> 1:20:53.080 I think that, yeah, it's almost been undersold how efficient 1:20:53.080 --> 1:20:54.599 they've been without those players. 1:20:54.640 --> 1:20:58.160 I think, especially when like the there was a terrible 1:20:58.200 --> 1:21:00.760 sack on Jordan Love that you can track right back 1:21:00.800 --> 1:21:04.040 to the absence of David Baktiori. The ground game with 1:21:04.160 --> 1:21:06.600 Dylan was a mess, and that goes right back to 1:21:06.600 --> 1:21:08.680 the absence of Jones. So if you get these guys back, 1:21:08.680 --> 1:21:11.120 and if you get Watson back at wide receiver, it's like, 1:21:11.240 --> 1:21:13.840 I think we barely even started to see what Green 1:21:13.880 --> 1:21:16.360 Bay can do. And like I'm on board with Jordan Love, 1:21:16.479 --> 1:21:20.120 like it's not perfect, but like this is we of 1:21:20.160 --> 1:21:22.360 all the scenarios we could have gotten with him six 1:21:22.400 --> 1:21:24.320 months ago. It's like you'd have to be You'd have 1:21:24.400 --> 1:21:26.439 to say. This is a positive start for him. 1:21:26.800 --> 1:21:27.200 No doubt. 1:21:27.240 --> 1:21:30.680 And this is actually his first Lambeau start, which surprised me, 1:21:30.800 --> 1:21:32.800 but all his starts have been on the road. I 1:21:32.800 --> 1:21:37.479 think this is fourth NFL start. I am intrigued watching 1:21:37.560 --> 1:21:45.160 him because just physically he's he's in the Josh Allen 1:21:46.240 --> 1:21:48.720 hype and he's not that kind of runner, but just 1:21:48.840 --> 1:21:50.560 the arm strength and the physicality. 1:21:50.560 --> 1:21:51.240 I love the way he runs. 1:21:51.280 --> 1:21:53.360 He kind of looks like Aaron Rodgers on some of 1:21:53.360 --> 1:21:55.240 the it's like he's been watching him when he's running 1:21:55.240 --> 1:21:57.320 to the right and everything. I guess mean he's a 1:21:57.920 --> 1:21:59.559 you can see why he went in the first round 1:21:59.760 --> 1:22:02.280 this fite not being the most accurate quarterback. So he's 1:22:02.280 --> 1:22:06.360 a fun watch and he's been getting protected quite well. 1:22:06.560 --> 1:22:10.120 We'll see if that happens this week. In terms of 1:22:10.439 --> 1:22:13.000 things change, I mentioned it with the Chiefs, like this 1:22:13.520 --> 1:22:16.160 lion or the Saints defensive line to me is much 1:22:16.200 --> 1:22:18.600 better this year than they were a year ago. You 1:22:18.640 --> 1:22:22.040 still got Cam Jordan who just refuses to age. It's 1:22:22.080 --> 1:22:26.559 got a podcast by the way on NFL Media now them. 1:22:26.360 --> 1:22:28.479 And he's still like he refuses to age. 1:22:28.680 --> 1:22:30.800 But the two guys that have been added to the 1:22:30.800 --> 1:22:35.439 mix in terms of their impact. Brian Bresci, a somewhat 1:22:35.479 --> 1:22:38.000 surprising first round pick to me, is really playing well 1:22:38.040 --> 1:22:40.519 at defensive tackle for them, looks like a nice fine 1:22:40.680 --> 1:22:43.679 anything else. I think both these fan bases are really 1:22:43.720 --> 1:22:46.519 optimistic and like think their team is much better than 1:22:46.520 --> 1:22:48.720 the national consensus, and they both might be right, and 1:22:48.760 --> 1:22:50.680 so I think it's an interesting matchup for that that 1:22:51.000 --> 1:22:53.519 if you're looking for a surprise team in the NFC 1:22:53.680 --> 1:22:55.960 to be like what they're in the divisional round or 1:22:55.960 --> 1:22:57.720 what they're in the conference championship, I think these are 1:22:57.720 --> 1:22:59.519 two pretty nice candidates. 1:23:02.520 --> 1:23:05.519 Very nice. Okay, Mark, do you want to Yeah, maybe 1:23:05.520 --> 1:23:07.400 we should talk. Maybe could take one of these early 1:23:07.439 --> 1:23:11.120 games off my hands so we have the top coverage 1:23:11.120 --> 1:23:12.639 possible for audience. 1:23:12.760 --> 1:23:14.719 We'll discuss that a later time, because it's. 1:23:14.600 --> 1:23:16.280 About the audience in the end, you know, and the 1:23:16.320 --> 1:23:18.639 product that we can give them. 1:23:19.080 --> 1:23:21.479 We'll talk, we can discuss that. I'm not sure I 1:23:21.520 --> 1:23:23.920 fully buy into that concept at all, but don't know. 1:23:24.040 --> 1:23:25.800 This is this is the best part of the show. 1:23:25.840 --> 1:23:28.760 Greg, Greg you're up, all right, I'm gonna take Tech 1:23:31.280 --> 1:23:32.360 Texans Jags. 1:23:34.320 --> 1:23:36.479 You know, I think that's three out of three weeks 1:23:36.479 --> 1:23:38.960 that Chris Myers and Robert Smith is calling the third 1:23:39.479 --> 1:23:39.880 for me. 1:23:41.760 --> 1:23:41.920 Game. 1:23:41.960 --> 1:23:44.200 Slave if you have three games, that's the third one. 1:23:44.800 --> 1:23:49.320 Texans Jags would be better if if the Texans were healthier, 1:23:49.360 --> 1:23:52.200 But they lost Derek Stingley to a hamstring injury in 1:23:52.280 --> 1:23:56.160 practice in practice, like these injuries happen in practice too, 1:23:56.640 --> 1:23:58.880 and it sounds like he might be out multiple weeks. 1:24:00.080 --> 1:24:02.080 Jalen Petree still has that chest injury. 1:24:02.080 --> 1:24:05.400 They might get Justin Reid back, but that secondary I 1:24:05.439 --> 1:24:09.320 was so excited about they gone their offensive line. 1:24:09.560 --> 1:24:10.719 Marks talked about plenty. 1:24:10.840 --> 1:24:13.960 They gone like they've just had They've been hurt by 1:24:14.000 --> 1:24:16.160 injuries as much as any team in the league, and 1:24:16.479 --> 1:24:19.200 they're not a team that can afford that. But I'm 1:24:19.240 --> 1:24:22.760 still excited to watch the two quarterbacks in this game. 1:24:22.880 --> 1:24:25.120 I want to see Trevor Lawrence bounce back from from 1:24:25.200 --> 1:24:27.439 a down week from him and really that whole offense, 1:24:27.439 --> 1:24:29.439 and I want to see if Stroud can keep it going. 1:24:29.520 --> 1:24:32.479 Because you talked about lipstick on a pig earlier. Dan, 1:24:33.040 --> 1:24:35.599 if you've got a rookie quarterback that's showing some promise, 1:24:35.880 --> 1:24:38.160 it's like, oh, it's fine if you're the one of 1:24:38.200 --> 1:24:39.920 the three worst teams in the league again for the 1:24:39.920 --> 1:24:42.400 third straight year under Nick Cassira, Like it almost all 1:24:42.439 --> 1:24:43.360 doesn't matter if CJ. 1:24:43.439 --> 1:24:46.160 Stroud's looking good and he does, I mean he if anything, 1:24:46.280 --> 1:24:48.760 is just producing, Like I'm not in love with Like 1:24:48.840 --> 1:24:51.720 I was so high on Damian Pierce coming into the year, 1:24:51.760 --> 1:24:54.559 and like their ground game has been a mess. Laramie 1:24:54.560 --> 1:24:59.120 Tunzel practice Thursday. Has that knee situation that's needed. I mean, 1:24:59.160 --> 1:25:02.559 their offensive Linechlok's strength has been hit by that injury 1:25:02.560 --> 1:25:05.519 bug in a huge way. Jacksonville, Man, they should have 1:25:05.560 --> 1:25:07.800 beaten the Chiefs a week ago, Like it's that. 1:25:08.280 --> 1:25:10.360 Those A lot of people said that the last five 1:25:10.400 --> 1:25:10.519 or so. 1:25:10.680 --> 1:25:12.880 Yeah, but those two but those two like end zone 1:25:12.880 --> 1:25:15.880 passes where it's like an inch difference, and you've beaten 1:25:15.920 --> 1:25:17.920 the Chiefs and it would have been a massive victory 1:25:17.960 --> 1:25:20.200 for the franchise. I still think they're one of the 1:25:20.200 --> 1:25:22.880 AFC's better teams. Uh, Like it was a bit of 1:25:22.920 --> 1:25:25.879 a down performance for Trevor Lawrence, but like their defense, 1:25:26.080 --> 1:25:29.160 which I thought was a massive weak spot, did pretty 1:25:29.160 --> 1:25:32.680 well against the Chiefs. They should have won that game. 1:25:32.680 --> 1:25:34.640 You gotta take care of business here. It's like a 1:25:34.960 --> 1:25:37.320 division matchup. Is this the one where the Texans would 1:25:37.360 --> 1:25:39.559 always beat the Jaguars again and again and they finally 1:25:39.720 --> 1:25:42.320 ended that I believe late last year because it doesn't 1:25:42.360 --> 1:25:44.560 really make any sense. 1:25:44.320 --> 1:25:47.479 Here, right What have we got for the spread on those. 1:25:47.560 --> 1:25:51.240 Nine points for the Texans. No one's buying into that concept. 1:25:51.400 --> 1:25:54.360 It's disappointing because you wanted to see what Demigo Ryans' 1:25:54.520 --> 1:25:57.679 impact could be, and I think it's a little hard 1:25:57.680 --> 1:26:02.439 to evaluate based on the injuries that they've had for 1:26:02.560 --> 1:26:05.240 him to be asked to do it with all these backups. 1:26:05.640 --> 1:26:07.759 Offense will be though. I think I like their coordinator 1:26:07.800 --> 1:26:09.639 so far. Bobby's look like it looks like an offense. 1:26:09.640 --> 1:26:10.439 It makes some sense. 1:26:12.040 --> 1:26:18.040 Okay, okay, okay. By the way, if you're that's your game, Greg, 1:26:19.160 --> 1:26:22.759 count how many times when Fox goes to commercial break 1:26:23.880 --> 1:26:27.760 if they play a classic rock song. Okay, clock how 1:26:27.800 --> 1:26:30.639 many times Rob Robert Smith goes, oh yeah, a little 1:26:30.680 --> 1:26:34.280 lead Zepp or oh little zz Top on a Sunday. 1:26:34.040 --> 1:26:37.400 You are not into his performance on the I mean 1:26:37.479 --> 1:26:40.800 it's I gotta be listening to it on my my 1:26:42.120 --> 1:26:43.879 third earbud. 1:26:44.000 --> 1:26:44.920 I don't know where I'm putting it. 1:26:44.960 --> 1:26:45.840 I'll tell you where to put it. 1:26:46.360 --> 1:26:48.720 But so we'll see if I hear that or not, 1:26:48.920 --> 1:26:50.240 or if that one's un mute. 1:26:52.400 --> 1:26:56.160 Little Steven Tyler Boston's own. It's like, all right, Rob, 1:26:56.280 --> 1:26:58.639 we get it. You listen to Q one O four, 1:26:59.479 --> 1:27:00.960 all right, one more games. 1:27:03.920 --> 1:27:09.040 Colts are Ravens. We got here, Ravens, Colts getting eight points. 1:27:09.400 --> 1:27:10.000 Watch this game. 1:27:10.560 --> 1:27:13.040 Absolutely, I'm gonna be zone. 1:27:14.880 --> 1:27:17.040 He watched it is watching some of Marcus actually only 1:27:17.080 --> 1:27:17.760 has one game on. 1:27:18.000 --> 1:27:20.439 I mean you have to say that if I knew 1:27:20.479 --> 1:27:22.880 this morning and I could do literally anything that would 1:27:23.000 --> 1:27:25.360 get under your guys skin to this degree, it's been 1:27:25.400 --> 1:27:29.280 an absolute win, huge victory, great draft. 1:27:29.400 --> 1:27:33.799 Chicken farms just farming things out. Arthur Perdue over here. 1:27:33.760 --> 1:27:37.320 We're feeling good about our draft. The organization is feeling good. 1:27:37.560 --> 1:27:37.920 Kaiser. 1:27:38.000 --> 1:27:41.320 So I think was the better analogy because it's like 1:27:41.360 --> 1:27:43.599 I suddenly looked back at Knicks games and I was like, oh, 1:27:43.640 --> 1:27:47.599 I'm matching, and then I look at him and he's 1:27:47.640 --> 1:27:48.200 just got this. 1:27:48.680 --> 1:27:53.719 To Chaz Promonary dropping the coffee cup shattering on the ground, 1:27:55.400 --> 1:27:57.680 it's it's David Eely dropping the coffee cup. 1:27:57.680 --> 1:28:00.000 I think you need to, you know, take a look 1:28:00.120 --> 1:28:02.880 in the mirror on how you strategize. 1:28:03.240 --> 1:28:05.320 What we needed to block you on that. Yeah, okay, 1:28:05.479 --> 1:28:05.800 let's go. 1:28:06.080 --> 1:28:08.080 Now we know all right, we go, Greg, Now we 1:28:08.120 --> 1:28:11.479 know we know there's treachery afoot every Thursday after you 1:28:11.520 --> 1:28:13.080 can do the same to me next week. 1:28:13.120 --> 1:28:13.920 You know, you do know? 1:28:14.280 --> 1:28:17.559 Now I know. I for so long it was wolf 1:28:17.600 --> 1:28:20.040 pulled over my eyes, But now I understand. 1:28:20.960 --> 1:28:24.160 No Anthony Richardson in this potentially no practice. 1:28:24.280 --> 1:28:26.960 That's such a bummer. I'm so bummed out about that, 1:28:27.080 --> 1:28:31.720 because God, you watch those first two quarters and it's like, 1:28:31.800 --> 1:28:33.960 this is happening. This guy is going to be the 1:28:34.040 --> 1:28:36.400 rookie of the year, and the cults are cults are 1:28:36.439 --> 1:28:38.920 going to hang around and be a fun watch. And 1:28:38.960 --> 1:28:41.080 Gardner Minshew's one of the very best backups in the league. 1:28:41.080 --> 1:28:43.160 So I think the Colts can still hang around. But 1:28:43.400 --> 1:28:50.920 Richardson adds that element of there's a certain qua sure, you're. 1:28:50.800 --> 1:28:52.439 Just not going to get from me, and you you 1:28:52.560 --> 1:28:54.960 just against them two games in a row to start 1:28:55.000 --> 1:28:59.080 his career where you're exiting with don't want potentially disturby situations, 1:28:59.080 --> 1:29:03.000 and it's like it's a their offensive line's been better. 1:29:03.000 --> 1:29:04.519 I would say like that was sort of an X 1:29:04.560 --> 1:29:08.000 factor coming into the year because they completely melted down, 1:29:08.080 --> 1:29:11.920 like good players along the offensive line played completely not 1:29:12.000 --> 1:29:13.479 up to their ability a year ago, and it's like 1:29:13.520 --> 1:29:15.800 it's they look better coached. I think they're pretty well 1:29:15.840 --> 1:29:18.559 coached in general. Like I think the stiking thing is working, 1:29:19.240 --> 1:29:21.240 but this game, I'm kind of surprised is still here 1:29:21.240 --> 1:29:23.599 at the end because I think the Ravens are one 1:29:23.600 --> 1:29:25.960 of the more intriguing on offense, one of the more 1:29:26.000 --> 1:29:29.200 intriguing kind of week to week viewings and propositions, And 1:29:29.320 --> 1:29:33.559 like Lamar Jackson looked good to me, just looked really good, 1:29:33.560 --> 1:29:38.320 and like Zay Flowers is absolute difference maker. Odell is 1:29:38.520 --> 1:29:41.559 not practicing this week, We'll see what happens with that, 1:29:41.600 --> 1:29:43.200 but Zay Flowers makes all the difference. 1:29:43.240 --> 1:29:49.160 Is by Lamar to just put that fifty five yards 1:29:49.200 --> 1:29:53.960 on a dime, like without much elevation. He looks so 1:29:54.120 --> 1:30:01.240 good right now. That is what every Lamar fan has 1:30:01.360 --> 1:30:06.000 been asking for. I don't know if it's gonna last, 1:30:06.080 --> 1:30:08.160 but what I mean by that is like this is 1:30:08.200 --> 1:30:11.200 a more of a normal NFL offense, for lack of 1:30:11.240 --> 1:30:15.200 a better word, it's like it's not the Greg Roman offense, 1:30:15.200 --> 1:30:17.560 which worked well and got Lamar on MVP. I'm not 1:30:17.600 --> 1:30:19.960 saying that was like a bag of trash or anything, 1:30:20.000 --> 1:30:24.000 but he's getting rid of the ball quickly. He's being 1:30:24.080 --> 1:30:26.920 patient in the pocket when he needs to. He's mostly 1:30:27.360 --> 1:30:30.640 playing from the pocket and making good decisions, but then 1:30:30.680 --> 1:30:33.120 he scrambles when he needs to. He's scrambling plenty, but 1:30:33.160 --> 1:30:35.920 there's not a ton of design runs and that's just 1:30:36.000 --> 1:30:38.360 a nice balance. And you can kind of see how 1:30:38.400 --> 1:30:41.240 he's more mature than he was and he has weapons 1:30:41.280 --> 1:30:41.800 around him. 1:30:41.800 --> 1:30:43.680 So it's it's what we've been asking for. And so 1:30:43.720 --> 1:30:47.880 far as week it was just the Bengals and you 1:30:47.920 --> 1:30:49.320 were like, wow, this is a nice game. 1:30:49.400 --> 1:30:52.599 What you want now? Because Lamar was awesome in Week 1:30:52.640 --> 1:30:56.920 two and he was shifty and he kind of tied 1:30:57.040 --> 1:30:59.960 up the defense and knots and picked up big play 1:31:00.280 --> 1:31:02.400 and the touch on his ball was great. You just 1:31:02.439 --> 1:31:03.519 want to see it week after week. 1:31:03.600 --> 1:31:05.800 I do think so, because it's like this thing, it's 1:31:05.880 --> 1:31:08.160 post Greg Roman, like, oh, they weren't gonna run the 1:31:08.240 --> 1:31:10.040 there was you know, concept that he was going. He's 1:31:10.040 --> 1:31:12.160 talking about throwing for six thousand yards they ran the 1:31:12.160 --> 1:31:13.680 ball for one hundred and seventy eight yards and. 1:31:13.720 --> 1:31:15.880 They didn't have to at the end of a Wig game, 1:31:15.880 --> 1:31:16.920 which was impressed. 1:31:16.560 --> 1:31:19.320 With thirty seven carries and he still had twelve touches 1:31:19.360 --> 1:31:21.160 on Mark Andrews is a huge difference. 1:31:21.320 --> 1:31:23.360 They weren't even on the same page a lot last week, 1:31:23.360 --> 1:31:26.280 but he had the big red zone touchdown. Nelson Aguilar 1:31:26.360 --> 1:31:28.280 is a player on that offense. Nelson Aglar is gonna 1:31:28.320 --> 1:31:29.439 end up with better numbers than Odell. 1:31:30.240 --> 1:31:32.280 That's fine and it and it shows you what a. 1:31:32.200 --> 1:31:34.600 God according to the pay grades. But no, but I 1:31:34.600 --> 1:31:35.360 thought Odell was. 1:31:36.160 --> 1:31:38.439 I don't bit of a stretch, but yeah, this might 1:31:38.479 --> 1:31:40.360 be a good Nelson Aguilar season. 1:31:40.479 --> 1:31:41.280 Pops up every now. 1:31:41.320 --> 1:31:43.960 And they were missing their left tackle, Ronnie Stanley and 1:31:44.000 --> 1:31:46.840 their center Tyler Linderbaum, which was such a huge concern 1:31:46.920 --> 1:31:48.679 going into that game. And then he faced the lowest 1:31:48.680 --> 1:31:51.240 pressure rate of his entire career. So that's that's some 1:31:51.320 --> 1:31:54.160 good coaching, that's some good backups and left tackle with 1:31:54.320 --> 1:31:55.120 Patrick McCarry. 1:31:55.160 --> 1:31:56.400 I here's a hot take. 1:31:56.880 --> 1:31:59.320 Maybe Gardner Minshaw gives the Colts just as much of 1:31:59.320 --> 1:32:03.439 a chance to win better just because the Ravens are 1:32:03.640 --> 1:32:06.559 so thin at cornerback. They lost another one last week. 1:32:06.560 --> 1:32:10.439 They're they're starting slot. Their cornerbacks on paper should be 1:32:10.479 --> 1:32:12.920 really poor, and so could Gardner. Min should take advantage. 1:32:12.920 --> 1:32:14.679 I don't know, Joe Burrow didn't really so I guess 1:32:14.760 --> 1:32:17.440 probably you also, Marcus. I'll just saying that's their weakness 1:32:17.520 --> 1:32:20.120 right now? Is that cornerback and kind of a more 1:32:20.120 --> 1:32:21.519 accurate quarterback take advantage? 1:32:21.560 --> 1:32:21.720 Well? 1:32:21.720 --> 1:32:23.599 See, I don't think Minshew is a is a big 1:32:23.640 --> 1:32:25.640 step down from a rookie quarterback outside of what. 1:32:26.120 --> 1:32:28.599 Right is totally different, but he's he's played well. 1:32:28.680 --> 1:32:30.200 Like, do you think the Colts would give up a 1:32:30.200 --> 1:32:32.679 conditional third for Gardner Minshew? 1:32:33.360 --> 1:32:36.000 Would they? Would they give the Jets. 1:32:37.360 --> 1:32:39.760 Conditional third? Well? 1:32:39.840 --> 1:32:40.519 Yeah, because he. 1:32:40.520 --> 1:32:43.400 Comes a second rounder. If the Jets reached the AFC title. 1:32:43.400 --> 1:32:46.040 You've gone and gotten the future at the positions. So 1:32:46.120 --> 1:32:49.639 I think he'd be more sellable than in other situation. 1:32:49.840 --> 1:32:51.880 Come back, come back to us and we'll give us 1:32:51.880 --> 1:32:53.880 a second now, flat up, we'll do it. 1:32:55.000 --> 1:32:57.320 What about us at leach six or seven? Let's just 1:32:57.360 --> 1:32:58.160 see what's shaking up. 1:32:58.400 --> 1:32:59.439 What about Jameis Winston? 1:32:59.560 --> 1:33:01.200 You know, maybe we'll stick a pin in this for 1:33:01.439 --> 1:33:03.479 you're the GM coming up down the line. 1:33:03.520 --> 1:33:06.639 Sure, but I think if you get a Jets meltdown 1:33:06.720 --> 1:33:08.559 this week about Kirk Cousins, I feel like we're the 1:33:08.560 --> 1:33:11.439 only show on Earth that hasn't brought that one up there. 1:33:11.520 --> 1:33:12.320 H and three. 1:33:13.960 --> 1:33:16.679 That you had dreams about Cousins being on the Jets 1:33:16.680 --> 1:33:18.320 way back when I did. 1:33:18.479 --> 1:33:24.720 Maybe maybe all right, that is that's it? All right? 1:33:25.520 --> 1:33:27.479 Do we get the spread in there. Gotta get the 1:33:27.479 --> 1:33:28.120 spread in there. 1:33:28.960 --> 1:33:31.360 We mentioned that it was the Ravens are giving up 1:33:31.360 --> 1:33:31.840 eight points. 1:33:31.920 --> 1:33:34.599 I love to know every game. I need that spread. 1:33:34.640 --> 1:33:38.960 Give me that spread every game, all the spreads. We 1:33:39.280 --> 1:33:43.920 are going to be back tonight with the Giants forty 1:33:43.960 --> 1:33:50.880 nine Ers recap Thursday Night Football and then also it's Thursday, 1:33:50.920 --> 1:33:54.720 which means NFL Plus with special guests Colleen Wolf.
