Colleen 12 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,959 Speaker 1: hasn't left us yet. She's gonna actually do a half 13 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 1: an episode that'll be our trade Deadline Day spectacular with Colleen. 14 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 3: I don't know who's left a trade. 15 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,639 Speaker 2: It's true. I love it. I've been asking for this 16 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 2: for years. 17 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: I'm not saying the NFL did it to appease me, 18 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 1: but I've been asking for them to push back the 19 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: trade deadline that happened, and I've been wanting us as 20 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 1: the NFL to be a little more. 21 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 2: Like the NBA. 22 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 1: They get such good podcast mileage of talking possible trades 23 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,760 Speaker 1: all season long, Like why can't we have that? 24 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:10,479 Speaker 2: And we have that now? 25 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 3: We have it. We have it now. Now it's kind 26 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,679 Speaker 3: of like, is the NFL going to become the NBA 27 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 3: where it's like the haves and have nots by the 28 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,040 Speaker 3: midway point? Are we going to sit? Are we gonna 29 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 3: top load the league? 30 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 1: It's a big week for that because there are ten 31 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: teams in the league that have two wins or less. 32 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 1: So if you get a win this week, maybe you're 33 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: not as big a seller. But if you're one of 34 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: those ten teams and you don't get a win, maybe 35 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 1: that'll make our show next week even better. 36 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll give you some time to make a decision. 37 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 4: Perhaps there's a couple of general managers out there who 38 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 4: are watching. Maybe some guys that we expect to play 39 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 4: on Sunday, maybe they won't end up playing illness because 40 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 4: they'll be shipped out coming up before Tuesday's deadline. The 41 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 4: most significant event happening next Tuesday, and these ustatos unidos. 42 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 4: Let's start guys going smallest to biggest spread this week, 43 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 4: and we'll begin with the Chicago Bears. Is there a 44 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 4: Hail Mary hangover going on the road to the Desert? 45 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 4: Take on the Arizona Cardinals, The Bears favored by one. 46 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 4: The Wow the over under forty four and a half points. 47 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 4: Ian Eagle, Charles Davis, Evan Washburn on the call, Greg 48 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 4: that we're trying to figure out who these Cardinals are. 49 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 3: Is this a game that helps us find that out? 50 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a game I'm really looking forward to. 51 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: I'm I'm snake. I'm taking it as my late game. 52 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: There's something the four to twenty five games. 53 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 2: I want to watch. 54 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray coming off his best game of the year. 55 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 1: This is a guy who you would hope doesn't you know, 56 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: his head doesn't get too big after getting put onto 57 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: quarterback Island. Even that was one of the best performances 58 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 1: all year. The last time he had one of the 59 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: best performances all year against the Rams, he didn't really 60 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: back it up, but this one came with more good 61 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: plays in the pocket. The matchup is going to be 62 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 1: really tough. We'll see if the Bears secondary gets healthier. 63 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: But this is a team whose pass defense is absolutely excellent. 64 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: You mentioned the hangover for the Bears. I don't think 65 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a hangover, but I do think it's 66 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: gonna hurt because if you look at the schedule that 67 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: they've faced so far. Bill Barnwell pointed this out easiest 68 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: in the league. According to ESPN's Power Index. The schedule 69 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: they faced from now on hardest in the league, and 70 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 1: now the Cardinals are one of those hard teams because 71 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: they don't have a lot of talent defensively, but they 72 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: throw some things at you and they're very tough to 73 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: deal with that offense. 74 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, look, I think the Hail Mary thing, it's gonna 75 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 3: tighten things up in Chicago. I mean, the defense is 76 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 3: already good, but the Tyreek Stevenson bs that he pulled, 77 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 3: that's not gonna set it well. Everyone knows, Okay, we've 78 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 3: got to be about that life this week, I think 79 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 3: the Bears defense really gives the aero Zona Cardinals and my 80 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 3: guy Kyler a tough time. I think Kylee's gonna have 81 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 3: a pretty good game, but I just think they're gonna 82 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 3: be a lot more buttoned up because of that of 83 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 3: the way they lost, knowing that, yeah, they didn't play 84 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 3: great offensively, but when they had to they did Again, 85 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 3: I'm Caleb. To me, seems to be getting better and 86 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 3: better every week in terms of understanding how to play football. 87 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 3: I like the Bears in this game, and I like 88 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 3: the over under line to at forty four and a half. 89 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 4: I got the favorite flipped in this one. It's actually 90 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 4: the Cardinals favored by one point at home. I think 91 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 4: the Kyler in question it could be Kyler Gordon, as 92 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 4: the Bears have been waiting to get him Anjaquan Brisker back, 93 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 4: they've both missed a couple of games. I think that 94 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 4: player that makes the secondary better. Clearly, I don't believe 95 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 4: that that hill Mary happens. Maybe the Commanders aren't even 96 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 4: in that position. But the fun thing looking back at 97 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 4: that particular play is if the balls tipped anywhere to 98 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 4: the left, Terry McLaurin walks him in the end zone. Yes, 99 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,919 Speaker 4: it was flayed all over the field. That it wasn't 100 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 4: just Tyreek Stevenson. But a fun fact for this game. 101 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 3: Greg. Three times the Bears on the Cardinals have needed 102 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 3: a field goal in a go ahead or late game 103 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 3: situation from Chad Ryland, the discarded kicker for the New 104 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 3: England Patriots in the first one. 105 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 2: I can't believe it. 106 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 4: I'm watching football with Greg Rosenthal on a Sunday and 107 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 4: he's like, Oh, who's this kicker? Chad Ryley Oh, there's 108 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 4: no way. He's been nails ever since Greg. 109 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: He hit a fifty seven yarder last week. He's one 110 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: of like he helped retire the greatest coach of all time, 111 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick. Thought Belichick will probably get another job, but 112 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: he helped Belichick lose that job, giving him a fourth 113 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 1: round pick. And yeah, now he's nabling it and they've 114 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: needed it. They've won three games by two or less. 115 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 1: I hate to just be like a Vibes guy, but 116 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: when you come back from ten in San Francisco, and 117 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: then you come back from ten in the fourth quarter 118 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 1: again last week against Miami, I do think you get 119 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: a feeling that you can win any sort of game. 120 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: I thought the Bears came out tight in that game, Caleb. 121 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: It reminded me of the first month of the season 122 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: for most of it until they got it going late. 123 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 2: And so if this game is close at the end. 124 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: There's something about this Cardinals team that I trust, and 125 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: one of it's the pass protection. I'm kind of amazed 126 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,239 Speaker 1: Kyler hasn't been sacked in three weeks. 127 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 2: And the Bears are very good. 128 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: Their secondary is so good when they're healthy that they've 129 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: made up for not a great pass rush for that team, 130 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: so you could probably protect Kyler again, and the. 131 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 3: Cards get healthier on that offensive line as well. They 132 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 3: get more some more guys back and. 133 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 4: You've seen that especially in James Connor's rushing totals, uh 134 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 4: the past couple of weeks and an offense where and 135 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 4: again finding out what this Arizona Cardinals team is like? 136 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 4: Can they be consistent? Is it the schedule or is 137 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 4: it the team. I'm excited to see and I'm fairly 138 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 4: confident it's. 139 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 3: Gonna be a good game. It's gonna be a good game. 140 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 4: And maybe Shane Waldron, we'll get our god Doug Kramer, 141 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 4: some more carriers. Just a fun experience for all of 142 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 4: us involved. Watching that game on. 143 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,799 Speaker 1: Sunday, you're still salty about it because he put the Bears. 144 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, they didn't deserve to win that game. 145 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: They were they were getting the ball, you know, the 146 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: Washington was moving the ball the whole time. 147 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 2: Show up. I just want I just hope Kyler. 148 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 1: Can handle the responsibility. 149 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 3: Beat on k be on the island. That's a real deal. 150 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: It would show real maturity. Three straight. They hadn't won 151 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: two straight in three years. Let's go, let's go win 152 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: three straight. I like this Cardinals team. 153 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 3: They're fun. Let's do it a little insight who Greg's 154 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,280 Speaker 3: picking are coming up tomorrow. Let's go to our next game. 155 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 3: It is in the Cardinals Division. The Rams a two 156 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 3: point favorite on the road at Seattle. The Rams. Get 157 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 3: everybody back up. We're all on board with the Rams. 158 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 4: Apparently forty eight is the over under Kenny Albert, Jonathan 159 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 4: Vilma and Meghan o'livi on the call. We got to 160 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 4: see the Thursday night win across the street Steve Now 161 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 4: with Cooper Cup and Pookinakoa Beck. 162 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 3: It's it's all coming up. Rams. Talking about vibes you 163 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 3: were talking about, you know, it seems like the Rams 164 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 3: are that are that team at the midway point that 165 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 3: can get hot. Right now. You get those guys back. 166 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 3: The offensive line played better, the run game was better. 167 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 3: I mean, you get your one in, your one a 168 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 3: back out. Why Matthew Stafford looks like the best player 169 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 3: in the NFL right now. But the thing that I 170 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 3: I met about the Rams, every time I watch them, 171 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 3: Jared Versu and Braydon Fisk show up. I mean, these 172 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 3: guys are in on every replay, whether it's past pressure, 173 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 3: whether it's in the run game. I like these two 174 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 3: against the Seattle offensive line. I mean, Gino your boy, 175 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 3: you know he's gonna have to get rid of it quick. 176 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 3: I just I love the way those two guys consistently 177 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 3: Rekavoc Byron Young shows up. We know, uh, I'm blanking 178 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 3: the rookie defense. The second Jared ver Well the other 179 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 3: the other defensive tackle. 180 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 1: Kobe Turner NFL Daily Guess Kobe Turner. 181 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 3: I mean Teez Steve. I mean, I just like the 182 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 3: way that this front plays. I think I think the 183 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 3: points are close here. I think the Rams win by 184 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 3: by more than two. I think have more than three 185 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 3: in Seattle. 186 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: Seattle is one of the hardest teams I think to 187 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: predict right now in the NFL. I don't think Mike 188 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: McDonald's defense is gonna be this bad this like forever. 189 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 2: But they're not sound. It's not just about talent. 190 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: We're talking about all these good players they have, and 191 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 1: they make good plays, but there are guys just out 192 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: of position. They're not setting the edge, They're missing a 193 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: lot of tackles. The teams that have done really well 194 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: against them have had a strong running game. We'll see 195 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,079 Speaker 1: how the Rams are there. They've definitely been better now 196 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 1: that their offensive line is healthier. Kid Williams run as well. 197 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,839 Speaker 1: But what they've really struggled with more than anything is 198 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 1: their linebackers with play action passing. And I know it's 199 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 1: a different coach here in Seattle, but this I just 200 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: have too many Rams game where Sean McVay dices them 201 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,319 Speaker 1: up with their play action passing. And so I think 202 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 1: if your problem is you can't handle any play action 203 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: and you got the Rams coming to town with a 204 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 1: little extra rest, yeah, I'd start I'd start remembering all 205 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: those Rams Seahawks games where they went up there and McVeigh, 206 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,359 Speaker 1: you put it on Pete Carroll. 207 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 4: But you're neglecting speaking of middle linebackers and speaking of 208 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,839 Speaker 4: the Rams, the opportunity for revenge there it is, Oh, 209 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 4: that's it's the opportunity. Who has seen more Sean McVay 210 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 4: play action than Earnest up the middle. And so now 211 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,079 Speaker 4: he's back, he's in Seattle, gonna go up against his 212 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 4: old team. My main concern for the Seahawks in this one, 213 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 4: other than the defense, is the offense just looked like 214 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 4: it had both hands topped behind its back with DK 215 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 4: metcalf yeah, and aside from all the calamities in the 216 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 4: red zone early in the game where Gino gets his 217 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 4: footstepped on and then the turnover on downs as well, 218 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 4: just a bad situation against the Bills. That was their 219 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 4: worst game to me in terms of execution offensively, but 220 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 4: without DK, I don't know. It's ultimately going to come 221 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 4: down to if DK is playing for me. 222 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,679 Speaker 2: I think there's some optimism that he can return this week. 223 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: I'm with you. Offensively, they'll get it done. The Rams 224 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: numbers are pretty good. Our friend JB Long pointed out 225 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,559 Speaker 1: since since the week four, I believe, and they made 226 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 1: a lot of changes in the secondary their top ten 227 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: and EPA per play, they have a lot of pressures. 228 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 2: We saw what Jared Verse can do. 229 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: Like, I don't think this is a good defense, but 230 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: I think they're probably good enough to slow down the 231 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: Seahawks a little more than vice versa. 232 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 3: Rams are winless in three games on the road, though, 233 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 3: so this is a big test because we know how 234 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 3: tough it is a loom and field where the Seahawks 235 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 3: have a losing record at home. How about that that 236 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 3: used to be just like the most intimidating place in 237 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 3: the NFL they have. 238 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 2: They even won a game. Yeah, they won a game. 239 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't I don't know if I also like, 240 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: I want to see Pooker and Pooka and Cooper Cup 241 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: back in full flow for another week, but before just 242 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,679 Speaker 1: like assuming the Rams are back, maybe I should. 243 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 3: Just assumed it. 244 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 2: You didn't see I saw it. I was there. 245 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like, I want to see it more week. 246 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: Some of the offensive line issues they were worried about 247 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 1: coming into the season in theory could still be there 248 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 1: against talented passbushers. Now, they played very well against Minnesota. 249 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 1: That was the thing that stood out to be most 250 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,679 Speaker 1: live is that their offensive line kind of dominated that game. Yeah, 251 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 1: after getting getting a lot of grief the first month. 252 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 3: Of the year, and Watson highlights a quick game. You know, 253 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 3: even though you're seeing this intermediate stuff, and then Pooka 254 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 3: and Cupp are such so good and tough run after 255 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:51,680 Speaker 3: the catch. They keep that up. They can do that 256 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,839 Speaker 3: against this defense and move the ball and then give 257 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:55,439 Speaker 3: it to Kyra and the intel because all he does 258 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 3: is score touchdowns. 259 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 1: It's a it's a huge game here with them both 260 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,719 Speaker 1: having four loss. I guess every all these NFC West 261 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: cons that they're they're so close. I assume the Rams 262 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: wouldn't become sellers suddenly if they lose this game. 263 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 2: It doesn't make sense. 264 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, that conversation seemed a little forest for trees for me. 265 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 3: I mean, the idea that the Rams would come sellers 266 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 3: with all this talent. 267 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 4: I think at the very least Gina will show us 268 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 4: if the secondary issues in the Rams, if they were solved. 269 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 4: I think that was a games the Minnesota Vikings where the. 270 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 3: Vikings have, of course the talent to exploit some issues 271 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 3: in the secondary, but they really weren't able to take 272 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 3: advantage of. 273 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 1: And like, are the Rams a team that can just 274 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: push around opponents physically? And or Seattle take the challenge 275 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 1: of what last week? If you didn't watch the end 276 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 1: of that game, I thought it was one of the 277 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: most embarrassing stretches that a defense had all season. 278 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 2: Buffalo is just like we you know we're gonna run, 279 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 2: We're gonna run. 280 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 1: We're in your building and Keon Coleman and they're wide 281 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 1: receivers are knocking them over in the running game and 282 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,959 Speaker 1: James Cook is running right through them. I was, dang man, 283 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 1: they are just getting made to look like kind of 284 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 1: a man. 285 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 3: Attitude is a dangerous drug. 286 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: Ken Coleman's got out of added Yeah, and a lot 287 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:10,440 Speaker 1: of I mean that was his best game last week. 288 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: A lot of in rhythm type of throws, not just 289 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: like the improvised plays that they had a week before. 290 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:16,079 Speaker 2: He was really good. 291 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, one hundred and ninety five yards his last two 292 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 3: games for Keyon Coleman. Let's go to the AFC. The 293 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 3: Los Angeles Chargers a two point favorite on the road 294 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 3: against Jameis Winston the Nerve and the Cleveland Browns, who 295 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:31,959 Speaker 3: now to win. 296 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 4: Last week scored over twenty points for the first time 297 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 4: in the twenty twenty four season, over undersitting at forty 298 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,319 Speaker 4: three Spureau DTIs Adam Archiletta and A D D. 299 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 3: Kika Walla. Our friend on the call, Steve are are 300 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,680 Speaker 3: we believers in the Jamis edition of the Browns? Not 301 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 3: against the Chargers, I mean the Chargers defense. It could 302 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 3: be getting Joey Bosa back. I mean they're locking teams down. 303 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 3: I don't care who they're playing there. They're so sound 304 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 3: in what they do. Their offense is also in addition 305 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,199 Speaker 3: to their defense because as they do control the ball, 306 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 3: we know justin Herbert Island. 307 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, Island, those are the two new residents. I don't 308 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 1: know if you've caught up on your program. I mean 309 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 1: here Patrick rightfully, Herbert and Kyler, two of the most 310 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,680 Speaker 1: fun to watch our are on. Well, one of your guys, 311 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: Dac had to it's just been a tough year. 312 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 3: It's understandable. Yeah, but I mean, I just the Charges 313 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 3: are our team. I mean, look, they've been in the playoffs. 314 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 3: Right now, we're not talking about them because they don't 315 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 3: score a lot of points. But Cleveland we'll see. I 316 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 3: mean they looked real functional with Jamis driving down the ball, 317 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 3: driving the ball down the field. It opened up things. 318 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 3: The defense played better. I think the Browns, you know, 319 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 3: j Okay's not in there. That guy is such an 320 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 3: important part of what they do and be such an 321 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 3: important part. And trying to slow down this impenetrable three 322 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 3: yards and a cloud of dust offense. 323 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 2: They need to get their running game going. 324 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: Chargers though it's been off more times than not after 325 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: those first couple of weeks where it was mostly JK. 326 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 2: Dobbins just popping a couple like long runs. 327 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 1: Because the Chargers don't make sense to me if they 328 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: don't have a good running game. They're getting they're getting 329 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: carried Zadarius Smith some news on Wednesday, and maybe this 330 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: will be updated by the time, like the week is out. 331 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: Certainly he just wasn't at practice and no one is 332 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 1: sure why. So you were talking about players, it is 333 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: not showing up for games. Deonta Johnson, by the way, 334 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: did not play for the Panthers last week. That kind 335 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 1: of registered after the fact. It was like, huh, what 336 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 1: if the Browns won this game, though they actually are 337 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: high on the list of teams. To me, that might 338 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: change their approach if they happened to win this game. 339 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 1: Because if he won two in a row with Jamis 340 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: Winston and then he traded Zadaria Smith two days later, 341 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: what does that say to your fan? I mean that 342 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 1: that's a pretty big middle finger to your fans and 343 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: your team for it. 344 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. Who they seen them, I get it, 345 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 2: That's what I mean. That's what I mean. So that 346 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 2: makes it even a bigger game. 347 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 4: I do think there was a clear before and after 348 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 4: in the game against the Ravens when Jeremiah Lusu Cormoa 349 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 4: got hurt and what he does, especially on the edge 350 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 4: and around the ball for the for the Cleveland Browns 351 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 4: where the Ravens were able to get sustained drives. 352 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 3: And I understand, you know, catching the ball helps in that, but. 353 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 4: But it's the difference, and I think he makes a 354 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 4: huge difference in defending uh this run game and also 355 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 4: the other's part where I do believe in Clifton, I. 356 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 3: Think that was a bad Jamis game. I think Jameis 357 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 3: Winston can play a whole lot better than he did 358 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 3: against Let's go, let's get Jamis on the island. I 359 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 3: don't know, we're not necessarily there. 360 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: He was going downfield, he was being aggressive. I know 361 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 1: he could have been picked off two or three times, 362 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 1: but that's that's famous. 363 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 4: But but the difference I think in the typical Jamis 364 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 4: interceptions where he's taking shots, he's taking chances, those were 365 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 4: those were just bad throws, like Jamis made some bad 366 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 4: throws against against the Baltimore Ravens. That if he gets 367 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 4: those figured out, and this Chargers team isn't necessarily scoring 368 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 4: a whole lot of points, I think there's a legitimate. 369 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: And I thought the Browns defense didn't look right the 370 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: first month of the season. They've played well since then, 371 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: so they're kind of back to being the Browns defense 372 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,920 Speaker 1: we expected. I'm interested to see this Chargers defense. Joey 373 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,879 Speaker 1: Bosa did return last week, but he didn't really play 374 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:18,160 Speaker 1: that that much and was very quiet unlike his brother 375 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: after the game. But I did notice that, like they 376 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 1: are getting a lot of good production. 377 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 2: This is good coaching. 378 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 1: You have to give them a lot of credit Jesse 379 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 1: Mint or Jim Harbaugh what they've done. They've taken a 380 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: lot of rookies. Last week they had Cam Hart in Tarheeds. 381 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,399 Speaker 1: Still have you heard of these young gentlemen, middle round 382 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:43,160 Speaker 1: rookies playing cornerback for them and playing well, like playing 383 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 1: well enough. Christian Fulton has got injured during that game. 384 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,200 Speaker 1: Then they've taken guys from other teams that weren't playing 385 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: well Puna Ford, Christian Fulton, t R. Tart and they're 386 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,920 Speaker 1: all being very productive. That to me is like the 387 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 1: number one side of good coach. If you can take 388 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: other guys other teams, guys that weren't really playing well 389 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,159 Speaker 1: for them, and suddenly you find a good role for 390 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: them and they're integrating these rookies in like that's that's 391 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 1: a really well coached team. It's a good rookie class too, 392 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: with Alton McConkie, Like they're really building something. 393 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 3: And you know, to that point, you look what they've 394 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 3: done in Washington and in Denver. They've got mutts, right, 395 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 3: They've taken guys who other teams didn't want and they 396 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,360 Speaker 3: and defensively they're leading their team. So that's a really 397 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 3: good point something to keep an eye on for some 398 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 3: future podcast your discussions. 399 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 1: I'm also, by the way, I'm not picking against Herbo 400 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,440 Speaker 1: right now. Read the moment I decide I'm not picking 401 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:33,119 Speaker 1: against Herbo anytime soon is when Carl Granderson, like a 402 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 1: three hundred pound man, wrapped them up in the end 403 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: zone and Herbo just shook them off just like he 404 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: was just like a little kid. 405 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 2: I was like, that's my Herbo. 406 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:40,160 Speaker 3: Yeah. 407 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 4: Every once in a while he reminds them just how 408 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 4: good he can be, especially when he's healthy. And again 409 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 4: you mentioned lad McConkie the second most receiving yards among 410 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 4: rookies against man coverage right now, two hundred and thirty eight. 411 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 3: He was wide received for two in Fantasy last week. Well, 412 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 3: I mean that is gonna get twenty seven targets a game, 413 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 3: Load them up why not just we seen enough balls 414 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,639 Speaker 3: to Josh Palmer, are all respect? 415 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 2: I'm not respect? 416 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 3: And how much minimal respect do? Out to the Dallas 417 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 3: Cowboys who are on the road at the Atlanta Falcons, 418 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 3: who are a two and a half point favorite. Kirk 419 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 3: and company been putting up thirty thirty thirty points. They 420 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 3: score Greg Adam, I mean Greg Olsen, Pam Oliver, the 421 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 3: over under fifty two in this one. You made a face, 422 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 3: you were not a. 423 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:27,479 Speaker 2: Well it was because of the two and a half. 424 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:31,199 Speaker 1: Sometimes there's a number out there that's so crazy to 425 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 1: me that it's like they're just begging you to take 426 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: Atlanta in this game, which is who I am taking 427 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: and will take. But I don't get it because this 428 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: Cowboys team, it's not like you look under the hood 429 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: and they're better than you think. Like statistically they're twenty 430 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: six in DV away. They're just a bad team. I 431 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 1: know the Falcons defense isn't great, but the offense is outstanding. 432 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 1: Shout out to Darnell Mooney on pace for a thousand 433 00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 1: yards killing it. He's got more yards this season than 434 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 1: I'm on Ross Saint Brown, then Stefan Diggs before he 435 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: got her Marvin Harrison Junior like he's killing it. You 436 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: got Drake Lennon producing, you got Kyle Pitts producing, It's 437 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,439 Speaker 1: all happening. There was a stat from next Gen Darnell 438 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 1: Mooney has run more yards on the field than any 439 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: receiver in the league this year. So he's out there. 440 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 1: He's not just getting cardio. He's working. That's what a 441 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 1: two lane man does. 442 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 3: He shout out to that two lane conditioning. This is 443 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 3: where I think when people look at the Falcons, that's 444 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 3: how come the points are like this, Like they eat 445 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 3: against the Buccaneers, they eat against a division and then 446 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 3: they kind of and at home they're not. 447 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 2: I get it. 448 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 1: But the Cowboys are a bad team and the Falcons 449 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: are average. If you want to say they're average, that's 450 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 1: a different. 451 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 3: Here's here's where. Here's where I think the Falcons will 452 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 3: do this and well at least talked about dudes. He's 453 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 3: born out as Jesse Bates, right, and we know he's 454 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 3: going to be in that slide. He keep doing stuff 455 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 3: to help out on CD LAMB and what this guy 456 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 3: is doing with the takeaways, he's everywhere. Jesse Bates is 457 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 3: in every defensive frame of the show. And so I 458 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,880 Speaker 3: think he's going to be causing problems. Maybe get gets 459 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 3: one from dak you know, Kirk o Chains, who we 460 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 3: didn't get on the island. I'm a little I'm still 461 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 3: a little hot about. 462 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 2: That me too. I agreed with you on that. How 463 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 2: did that? 464 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,679 Speaker 3: I sold out? I sold out? Everybody is a believer. 465 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:17,919 Speaker 2: Yeah he was. 466 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 1: He made an alliance to help get Kyler on. It 467 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 1: was just a whole feel bad about the whole problem Stafford. 468 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 1: You know, I can't fault Stafford. Yeah, I think kirk 469 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 1: Go has been more. 470 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,160 Speaker 3: But I also I also think this is the type 471 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,200 Speaker 3: of game too where the Falcons where Bajon and Tyler 472 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 3: Algier to start to pound the ball and eat up clock, 473 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 3: get s game over quickly, get Jerry, you know, to 474 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 3: douce on his coach a little bit more. Well, I 475 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 3: think one thing that hurts is for Jerry Jones, specifically 476 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 3: to look over in the division and seeing Washington Commander's 477 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 3: defense that at the start of the season was doing 478 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 3: absolutely nothing. And now is the defense that that we 479 00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 3: see right in week six, seven and eight. Who's leading 480 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,679 Speaker 3: that defense? Well, that would be the former defensive coordinator 481 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 3: of the Dallas Cowboys, who also had them number one 482 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 3: in the league in quick pressures. And I understands there's 483 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 3: been injuries, we've been missing Tank and Micah Parsons. But 484 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 3: twenty four point two percent quick pressure last year, fourteen 485 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:19,159 Speaker 3: percent quick pressure this year, twenty first in the league. 486 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 3: We've discussed it extensively, their inability or non desire. 487 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,679 Speaker 4: To run the football. I think it's a little bit 488 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 4: of Column A and a little bit of Colin B. 489 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 4: But the point again that we're we're in year seventeen 490 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 4: talking about this with the Atlanta Falcons is getting pressure 491 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 4: on the quarterback. And if you can't get pressure on deck, 492 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 4: then then he can get seventeen targets to ceedee Lamb. 493 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,159 Speaker 4: Get you a few points and we'll see if this 494 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 4: defense can muster something. But it's tough to imagine that 495 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 4: they do. 496 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 2: Right. 497 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,920 Speaker 3: It sounds like Jason John Abraham still haunt. 498 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,439 Speaker 1: It's crazy, but that was We always used to talk 499 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 1: about that around the NFL, that the Jets have it 500 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: at a pass rusher since John Abraham. 501 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 2: But it's true about the Falcons too. 502 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 1: It's just I don't know if he's got to get 503 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: any Hall of Fame consideration, but that would just not 504 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 1: that that would be a good Yes, this is what 505 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,639 Speaker 1: the Dallas offensive line needs. Yes, is playing this. But 506 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,880 Speaker 1: the Dallas defense, they've given up the second most points 507 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 1: in the league. They are dead last and red zone percentage, 508 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: and they are bottom in turnover margin. It's just a 509 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: lot of bad things. Their next games after this week, 510 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,679 Speaker 1: if they don't win Philadelphia, Houston and at Washington, it 511 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,639 Speaker 1: does not get easier for the Cowboys. So it is 512 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,880 Speaker 1: an important game for Mike McCarthy and yeah, the Falcons 513 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,679 Speaker 1: could make some distance there in the NFC South with 514 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 1: the win. 515 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 2: Uh, we're just getting started here. 516 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: On the Week nine preview, We're gonna take a quick 517 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,679 Speaker 1: break and we're coming back. That's what I'm gonna call 518 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: the game of the week, the game of the year 519 00:23:52,320 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: so far back on NFL Daily. Yeah, this is the 520 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: week that Greg Olsen gets the Cowboys. 521 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 2: We got Tom Brady on the Game of the week 522 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 2: Green Bade Detroit. 523 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's time for the Game of the Week presented 524 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,879 Speaker 4: by Draft Game. It is the Detroit Lions on the 525 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,919 Speaker 4: road at Green Bay. The first time that Jared Golf 526 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 4: has played outside in twenty twenty four. 527 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:32,440 Speaker 3: That's amazing. 528 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 4: The over under forty eight and a half, Kevin Burkhart, 529 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,880 Speaker 4: some dude named Tom Brady, Aaron Andrews, and Tom Rinaldi 530 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 4: on the call, Greg, I. 531 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 3: Don't think the fourteen games indoors, by the way, I 532 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:44,640 Speaker 3: have thirteen or four. It's a lot. 533 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 4: My friend Adam Mik always says that Jared Golf is 534 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:48,200 Speaker 4: an indoor cat. 535 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,399 Speaker 3: We'll get a chance to see if he can shake 536 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,880 Speaker 3: that and get a win in Lambeau. 537 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,880 Speaker 1: Do you see it happening, Greg, Yes, if Jordan Love 538 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,360 Speaker 1: doesn't play, you'd feel even better about it. I think 539 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: that informed the line at this point of the week. 540 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:07,679 Speaker 1: It could change. Jordan Love did not practice on Wednesday, 541 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,399 Speaker 1: but he said it was realistic that he could play 542 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 1: on Sunday. Those groin injuries are tricky. Whether he could 543 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 1: take like a shot to numb the pain. It's tough 544 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 1: because you know you would think you kind of you 545 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 1: need you need to be able to tork it. You 546 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 1: know you need to make it happen to throw the ball. 547 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,959 Speaker 1: And as good as Malik Willis has been this year, 548 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,679 Speaker 1: I think I think you need everyone to beat one 549 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 1: of the best teams in the league. 550 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 3: Now. 551 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 1: If Malik Willis is out there, or if it's Jordan Love, 552 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs is key. He's now not only been breaking tackles, 553 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 1: I think he has the most yards after contact in 554 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 1: the entire league. He's starting to make big plays again 555 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: like he did in his best years with the Raiders. 556 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 1: He is in the top ten of rush yards over expected. 557 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 1: This is a really good run scheme, like Lafleur knows 558 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,879 Speaker 1: how to scheme it up. I think the offensive line 559 00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 1: is very cohesive. Jacobs is part of the running back 560 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: matter brigade of all these guys who changed teams this 561 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 1: offseason and really impacting going up against a team that 562 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: believed in changing their running back so much they made it, 563 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 1: you know, the centerpiece of their offseason, Jamior Gibbs and 564 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,360 Speaker 1: David Montgomery, when Dave Dan Campbell got there, and look 565 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,640 Speaker 1: at all the benefits that it's had. 566 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,359 Speaker 2: So this is an old school game. I can't wait. 567 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 1: If Jordan Loves out there, I might flip my pick there. 568 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 3: Oh fifty five degrees eighty nine chance of raining Sunday 569 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:32,639 Speaker 3: in Green Bay, Wisconsin. So Jared goff in those elements, Patrick, 570 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 3: that is something to keep an eye on. 571 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,399 Speaker 2: Oh it really is it? Really is it? 572 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:37,880 Speaker 3: Absolutely. At this point. 573 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 1: His last game for the Rams was in Green Bay 574 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 1: in the elements, and that that helped send him home. 575 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 2: Right, And I go, well, I remember, right, I just remember. 576 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 1: I remember the disgusted looks of Sean McVay on the sideline, 577 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:51,359 Speaker 1: was like, let's have a little more of a poker 578 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,120 Speaker 1: face here if how much you don't like your quarterbacks. 579 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:54,719 Speaker 3: A great game for Jared Goff because they got him 580 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 3: in this. 581 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,640 Speaker 1: Situation, okay, fair, sorry, absolutely, God bless the broken road. 582 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:00,880 Speaker 3: And he's got Dave mcgomery back come up throwing the ball. 583 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:06,440 Speaker 3: So I so you know you talk about Josh Jacobs, 584 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 3: I just that tandem they have in Detroit in that 585 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,640 Speaker 3: offensive line, I think elements are not when I when 586 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 3: I watch tape of the Lions, it is so incredible 587 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,119 Speaker 3: how Panay School sticks out as the best player on 588 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,159 Speaker 3: the field. That guy is so dominant. If you look 589 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 3: at number fifty eight to right tackle on some of 590 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 3: these plays, look at he's just wheeling guys, He's taking 591 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:28,639 Speaker 3: him and wheel him and open up these run lanes. 592 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,959 Speaker 3: And that's why the conditions are not. I like the 593 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,439 Speaker 3: Lions in this game because they're O line not not 594 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 3: the most dominant left side, but center to the right. 595 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 3: They can do it. So I like Detroit in this 596 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 3: what are the points at three and a half? Wooh 597 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 3: ted points right there. 598 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 1: That's that's a Malik Willis line. So we'll see, okay, 599 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 1: but we just don't know. Yeah, at this point, probably 600 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 1: it seems like one maybe they'll take all the way 601 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: to Sunday. 602 00:27:55,960 --> 00:28:01,200 Speaker 4: We saw Jordan Love on the bike on Wednesday at practice. Again, 603 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 4: as Greg said, we're just gonna have to find out. 604 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 4: But I think the place that we do know right regardless, 605 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:12,200 Speaker 4: like Jared Goff in the elements, notwithstanding Kirby Joseph and 606 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 4: Brian Branch in safety from the Williams right now have an. 607 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 3: Entire part of the field on clamps. 608 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 4: Yes, they do the tight end scoring Like I just 609 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 4: did this for Fantasy Live, trying to figure out where 610 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 4: why are they're so successful against tight ends. Two of 611 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 4: the top tight ends in the league this year in 612 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,680 Speaker 4: Caate Otton as well as Trey McBride, totaled three catches 613 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 4: for twenty three yards, both of them combined against the 614 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 4: last great stuff thin like Terry on Arnold is playing better. 615 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 4: We saw him get all those faculties, but just up 616 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 4: the middle and through. I think it makes a tough 617 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 4: situation because Tucker Craft is a big part of this offense. YEP, 618 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 4: whether it's Malik Willis or Jordan Love. I like the 619 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 4: line Herbie Joseph's a hell of a player. 620 00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 1: Many shout out to Tucker Craft of like steal and 621 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 1: Sam ports Thunder a little bit in this division as 622 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 1: just like the tight end rumbling down. 623 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 2: The field second year player. Just they've been both great 624 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 2: this year. 625 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 1: Jordan Love's numbers against man coverage are like bizarre to me. 626 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 1: I was surprised when I saw this. NFL Pro had 627 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 1: put this out. Four point three yards per attempt against 628 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 1: man coverage. Just has been terrible against man coverage this year. 629 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 1: That's what the Lions like to do more than any 630 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 1: other team. 631 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 2: Now. 632 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 1: The thing I do worry about with the Lions, and 633 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 1: I don't think it's totally showed up yet in the 634 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 1: box scores, is their pass rush really is bad, not good, 635 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 1: and so they're gonna need to blitz to create pressure 636 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: and that it leaves the one on ones. And I 637 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 1: guess those numbers say Jordan Love hasn't been great against 638 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 1: man on coverage, but he's got some great receivers, don't. 639 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 1: I think that is not gonna last. And so these 640 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 1: two quarterbacks just by the numbers, are so different against pressure. 641 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 1: Jared Goff has been outstanding against pressure, and the Packers 642 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: aren't getting a lot of pressure. You know, Kenny Clark, Comedy, 643 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 1: QB hits and saxy as this year, Big Fat zero 644 00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 1: On Bold and Rashan Gary barely has any production either. 645 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,480 Speaker 1: It's really surprising how they've manufactured a good defense despite 646 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 1: that a lot of turnovers. 647 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 3: Still trying to figure out some of the schematics and 648 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 3: things like that, because those two players are so good. 649 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 4: Edwin Cooper did get that win against the Jags and 650 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 4: get the strip sacked that ultimately I think won. 651 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 3: The Gameout out to his parents for sampling Edgeron. Wait, what, 652 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 3: there's not too be the Edgeurans in this world, right. 653 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 2: It's a fair point. You think they were inspired by James. 654 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 3: Yes, just like you know, there's whole lot of Sequilles 655 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 3: and you know today's generation and there weren't many when 656 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 3: I was growing up before that. Guy O'Neill, Well, you 657 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 3: know this, the Packers edge is really going to have 658 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 3: to step it up if in twenty years we want 659 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 3: to keep it going. 660 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 1: It's like my son asked me, like, why are there 661 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:45,080 Speaker 1: so many professional athletes named Jalen? And I said, well, Son, like, 662 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to tell you about this college basketball 663 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 1: team called the Fab Five. 664 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess that's why I don't know Jordans. 665 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:55,520 Speaker 3: That's a lot of Jordan's in this world.

Forty 675 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 3: three and a half points is the over under Chris Myers, 676 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 3: Mark Sanchez and Christina pink on the call the Washington 677 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 3: Commanders coming off of the big emotional win they get 678 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:39,640 Speaker 3: their quarterback back. Is there a spot, Steve, where you 679 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 3: see the Giants making I think they could. When I 680 00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 3: watched that game the other night against Pittsburgh, I thought 681 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,959 Speaker 3: they played a pretty damn good game. People all over 682 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 3: Daniel Jones. I thought Brian Daywall called a really good 683 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 3: game with some of the screens using the Steelers aggression 684 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 3: against him. Just all the dumb penalties then the late takeaways. 685 00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,080 Speaker 3: I mean, this is not the record, is what they 686 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 3: are because of things like that. But you know they're 687 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,400 Speaker 3: not a calamity of a of a football team, right. 688 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 3: But something about this Commanders we're seeing the Giants are 689 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 3: owned Ford home. The Commanders are feeling really good, and 690 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 3: I like the way they're Their defense is tightened up 691 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 3: with Joe Witt. I know we talked about Dan Quinn, 692 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 3: but Joe Whitt is a guy who's scheming up this 693 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 3: defense and the fact that he's taken again. I talked 694 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 3: about some mutts, some used parts from other teams and 695 00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,760 Speaker 3: put them together, showing a light on Frankie Louvluvu, who 696 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,560 Speaker 3: was actually shining a light on everybody else and got 697 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 3: in the secondary to play pretty well. When they know 698 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 3: that that's I mean, their first pick next year is 699 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 3: gonna be somebody in that defensive backfield. I liked them 700 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 3: in this game. I think he keeps going to Washington. 701 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 3: I think the defense needs to be talked about almost 702 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 3: as much as the quarterback. 703 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I have some numbers on that for you. And 704 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 1: this is from next Greg's stats right here. This is 705 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 1: like me putting in the components into the into the 706 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 1: programming a next Gen sets. They are second in EPA 707 00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 1: for play since week four, a pretty long sample side, 708 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 1: so throughout their first three weeks where they were dead 709 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:06,280 Speaker 1: last in just about everything. And I'm thinking, okay, one 710 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 1: of the things I believe in defenses is the schedule 711 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 1: you've played is probably the most important factor in how 712 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 1: you're ranked. It's like, when you play good offenses, you 713 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:16,360 Speaker 1: don't do as well. When you play bad offenses, you 714 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 1: do better. But they have a couple of good offenses 715 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 1: in that stretch. They played Arizona very well. They played 716 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 1: Baltimore and they gave up a lot of yards, but 717 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,200 Speaker 1: they did force some turnovers in that game, which which 718 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,480 Speaker 1: helps what they're doing. Twelfth and success rate so on 719 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 1: a play to play basis not as good, but better 720 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,960 Speaker 1: than average, and fourth in points allowed, which is the 721 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,320 Speaker 1: most important stat of them. Also, that's a long stretch 722 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,160 Speaker 1: where they've figured some things out with a new scheme. 723 00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 1: This is a great litmus test because remember this matchup 724 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 1: in Week two was the most dominant offensive performance in 725 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:49,960 Speaker 1: like a twenty one to eighteen game that you've ever 726 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 1: seen from these two teams. 727 00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:52,960 Speaker 2: And there was barely any puns. 728 00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:54,880 Speaker 1: Both teams just went up and down the field, and 729 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:56,400 Speaker 1: yet it finished twenty one eighteen. 730 00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 3: Little insider information talk about the defense, they basically just 731 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,520 Speaker 3: pared it down. First couple of weeks. They were asking 732 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 3: the guys, especially in the secondary, to do a whole lot. 733 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,160 Speaker 3: They're like, you know what, We're gonna let you play football, 734 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:11,680 Speaker 3: sinkers win, and that's that's where guys who've gained some confidence. 735 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,600 Speaker 1: Johnny Newton a guy I liked a lot in the 736 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 1: draft process. Everything I heard about him, every thing I 737 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,920 Speaker 1: saw as a potential real difference maker. And he was 738 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 1: hurt to start the year, but he started playing very well, 739 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 1: which has helped make up for Jonathan Allen being out 740 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:26,759 Speaker 1: for the year. 741 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,239 Speaker 4: I have to look at this Giants defense, especially in 742 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,640 Speaker 4: the run game with Brian Robinson coming to town as 743 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 4: well as Jay Woo. Where on the edges Najie Harris 744 00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 4: had so much space to run to where And I 745 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,080 Speaker 4: know that between Burns and Thibodeau that they want to 746 00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,160 Speaker 4: get after the passer. But it's not like the Steelers 747 00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 4: were gonna drop back and throw the ball four to 748 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:49,400 Speaker 4: fifty times. 749 00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 3: They just seemed ill prepared. And now they're going to 750 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,920 Speaker 3: be in conflict with Jaden Daniels at the mesh point, 751 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,840 Speaker 3: and it's a lot to think about. I think this 752 00:34:57,920 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 3: may be an easy win for the Why I know, 753 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:01,840 Speaker 3: well it won't. It won't be. It won't be easy. 754 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,400 Speaker 3: But to your point, Patrick, watching that game, like in 755 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,040 Speaker 3: the first half, the Giants defensive ends, we're just they're 756 00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:11,040 Speaker 3: doing that upfield rush like like the Rams used to 757 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,560 Speaker 3: to rush back when rush was mobile. Like, No, just 758 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:16,799 Speaker 3: don't get so far upfield and keep your eyes on 759 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:19,239 Speaker 3: the court. They just opened up lanes for Nase and 760 00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 3: Jalen Warren all night long. 761 00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:24,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, they might not have Tyrone Tracy, who had a 762 00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:28,080 Speaker 1: concussion on Monday night lost. I think that Andrew thomas 763 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:31,040 Speaker 1: injury was just one that this Giants team in particular 764 00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,560 Speaker 1: couldn't afford. So that it's to me, it's two different 765 00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 1: teams in week two, So I'm with I'm with Patrick, Heck, 766 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,880 Speaker 1: I almost want to maybe change gears. We talked about 767 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:43,080 Speaker 1: potentially doing a Survivor pick. Later on in the show, 768 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:44,719 Speaker 1: do we want to get a little bolder and go 769 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:46,240 Speaker 1: commandos on the road? 770 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:47,600 Speaker 2: What do you guys think? 771 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:51,960 Speaker 3: I'm down. Let's do it. Let's be bold, let's let's 772 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,560 Speaker 3: be a little bolder man. They go to if they win, 773 00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 3: they go to seven and two. I love that. Just 774 00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:57,880 Speaker 3: throw the planet. 775 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,839 Speaker 1: I just was feeling it as we're talking, talking it out. 776 00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:03,479 Speaker 1: We can let you know later in the show. 777 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,600 Speaker 3: Do you Q the Coach of the Year right now? Oh? 778 00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't. 779 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:10,880 Speaker 3: Plus, I'm with it all right, congrats to DQ in 780 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:14,959 Speaker 3: the midway Coach of the Year. Campbell's just like, ah, 781 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:16,000 Speaker 3: what do I gotta do? 782 00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,359 Speaker 2: We are in a little role here with the Survivor picks. 783 00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:20,279 Speaker 3: Let's good, a little bit of a role. I like it. 784 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,200 Speaker 3: And we're we and we go risky here, and I 785 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:24,400 Speaker 3: like that. I like that. 786 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,600 Speaker 4: You want risk We could have taken this next game 787 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,799 Speaker 4: coming up, the Survivor po risky either way. 788 00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:35,040 Speaker 3: The New England Patriots against the Tennessee Titans, a three 789 00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:38,520 Speaker 3: and a half point favorite at home. Are the Titans 790 00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:42,000 Speaker 3: Coach Callahan said, they're going to see what Will Levis 791 00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:46,120 Speaker 3: is like and how he feels this week, Greg, does 792 00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:47,879 Speaker 3: that move you one way or the other? 793 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,280 Speaker 1: No, I think the Patriots would have a better chance 794 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:56,839 Speaker 1: probably if we'll Levis starts right when you said we 795 00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,320 Speaker 1: were talking about which survivor picks, you know, and during 796 00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,600 Speaker 1: the break and you were like, well, how about Titans Patriots? 797 00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:02,600 Speaker 2: I'm thinking which side are you? 798 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:02,839 Speaker 3: Even? 799 00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:04,720 Speaker 2: You're on the Patriots? 800 00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:08,160 Speaker 1: The Patriots as thunderdogs, now that I'm not going that far, 801 00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:09,000 Speaker 1: but I think I'll pick them. 802 00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:12,000 Speaker 3: It what wouldn't you? I don't know in a game 803 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:15,319 Speaker 3: like this, who's who's got the best quarterback? New England 804 00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,319 Speaker 3: Drake May is the best quarterback in this game? 805 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:19,520 Speaker 2: You don't know for sure he's playing. 806 00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,640 Speaker 1: Although it sounded like he was in stage three of 807 00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:22,640 Speaker 1: the concussion protocol. 808 00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:24,960 Speaker 2: He was practicing on a limited basis. Yeah, usually a 809 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:25,319 Speaker 2: good sign. 810 00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,600 Speaker 3: That's the phase, and usually on Thursday, if you're in 811 00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,359 Speaker 3: that phase, I you know, look, I think he's gonna play. 812 00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,719 Speaker 3: And with ramondre Stevenson run the ball. And we thought 813 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:35,840 Speaker 3: Tennessee was gonna was gonna buckle up, and they just 814 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:39,319 Speaker 3: got dragged by the Lions and they might be doing 815 00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:40,960 Speaker 3: some little Anthony Richards and stuff going on. 816 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:42,360 Speaker 2: Now they've played the Bills in the Lions. 817 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 1: But they've their defense, which was supposed to be tough, 818 00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:47,040 Speaker 1: kind of tapped out in the last six quarters. 819 00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,320 Speaker 2: But it's tough when your offense isn't doing anything. 820 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,279 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, guess what what makes you think that? 821 00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:57,320 Speaker 4: I mean the offense with Mason Rudolph throwing to Calvin Ridley. 822 00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,799 Speaker 4: Greg got some yards in a thirty five five point game. 823 00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:04,600 Speaker 4: Yeah no, but in a nineteen twenty three point game, 824 00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:05,640 Speaker 4: they can make plain. 825 00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,080 Speaker 3: They're gonna put Christiana Jalis on him, give some help 826 00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:11,000 Speaker 3: and dear anybody else on Tennessee to do anything. 827 00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,480 Speaker 1: A two game winning streak for this Patriots team. And yeah, 828 00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:17,680 Speaker 1: this is one of the handful of games this week 829 00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:19,960 Speaker 1: that feel like it's too early in the season. 830 00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:20,560 Speaker 2: For these types of games. 831 00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,160 Speaker 1: Usually you get to like week fifteen to sixteen, we're 832 00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:26,040 Speaker 1: doing the previews. There aren't a lot of buys like 833 00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:27,960 Speaker 1: we want to save some times just kind of speed 834 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,760 Speaker 1: through it two or three minutes. There's like a couple 835 00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:32,799 Speaker 1: of those games this week. I mean, I'm still into 836 00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,920 Speaker 1: it because of Drake May He makes everything very watchable. 837 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:39,480 Speaker 1: He's really playing it. Good player in excellent nine ten quarters. 838 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,200 Speaker 4: Why you laughing, Well, I just saw stat the Titans 839 00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:46,160 Speaker 4: passing offense as the fewest EPA per drop back in 840 00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:50,000 Speaker 4: the entire NFL, and either Will Levis or Mason Rudolph 841 00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,920 Speaker 4: have yet to complete a single game where they've had 842 00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,520 Speaker 4: a positive EPA in passing the football. 843 00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:58,040 Speaker 3: Because said Drake may will be the best quarterback on 844 00:38:58,080 --> 00:38:58,719 Speaker 3: the field. 845 00:38:58,960 --> 00:38:59,520 Speaker 2: No question. 846 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,040 Speaker 1: Shout out to a couple just veterans who are out 847 00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:05,080 Speaker 1: there playing very professionally at a high level, Tony Pollard 848 00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:05,880 Speaker 1: and Hunter Henry. 849 00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,160 Speaker 2: Yes, Hunter Henry's he's a good player. 850 00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:10,920 Speaker 1: Harold Landry Arden keep Maybe those are two guys that 851 00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,600 Speaker 1: could potentially get traded. And then I wanted to give 852 00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:17,359 Speaker 1: credit to Chris Long does a great podcast green Light 853 00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:19,959 Speaker 1: with Chris he is really the originator of this whole 854 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:24,080 Speaker 1: post Lions trend curse that's out there that after you 855 00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:26,360 Speaker 1: play the Lions, you're just too physically beat up and 856 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,560 Speaker 1: you look at the results the next week, they've all lost. 857 00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,480 Speaker 1: The next week, not only have they lost almost all 858 00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:34,200 Speaker 1: of them, it's been their worst game of the entire 859 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:36,880 Speaker 1: season the next week. So I don't know if the 860 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,600 Speaker 1: Titans qualify because they're just so bad in general, but 861 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:41,879 Speaker 1: they would have the post Lions curse here. 862 00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:43,200 Speaker 2: Let's go Patriots. 863 00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:45,880 Speaker 3: And another winless team at home, those Tennessee Titans, and 864 00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:47,359 Speaker 3: they're playing in nash Vegas as well. 865 00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,520 Speaker 4: Okay, as somebody who needs to catch Greg and the picks, 866 00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,480 Speaker 4: I'm pulling for Mason Rudolph. Get out there, get out 867 00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,520 Speaker 4: there and show the coaches, show both Callahans just what 868 00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:00,319 Speaker 4: you can do as a quarterback. Let's go to the 869 00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:04,239 Speaker 4: Miami Dolphins back against the Buffalo Bills. That did not 870 00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:07,719 Speaker 4: go well last time, but Tua in that game. Back 871 00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,440 Speaker 4: in this game, they had a narrow loss to Arizona Cardinals. 872 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:14,800 Speaker 4: Greg the Buffalo Bills a six point favorite. Kevin Harland, 873 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,560 Speaker 4: Trent Melanie Collins on the call. 874 00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:21,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think part of that is the matchup. It's 875 00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:24,160 Speaker 1: been a problem for Mike McDaniel. He's lost five straight 876 00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:27,600 Speaker 1: to Sean McDermott. You know, last time he lost to 877 00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:29,719 Speaker 1: a halfway through the game, but they were down three 878 00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:33,960 Speaker 1: scores at that point McDermott. Even if you go past 879 00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,960 Speaker 1: the McDaniel era, it really gets crazy. He has the 880 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:40,840 Speaker 1: most wins against the Dolphins than any coach has against 881 00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:42,560 Speaker 1: any opponent since he got hired. 882 00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:43,560 Speaker 2: So he's won. 883 00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,800 Speaker 1: He's won like almost every single game. He just owns 884 00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:49,000 Speaker 1: this team and I don't see why it would change 885 00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,040 Speaker 1: because to me, the Bills are really finding an identity 886 00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,560 Speaker 1: as a tough team. I mentioned how they pushed Seattle 887 00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:59,320 Speaker 1: around earlier. Shakir I think is getting benefits from Cooper 888 00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:01,759 Speaker 1: being there that he you know, and this is a 889 00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,759 Speaker 1: matchup where David Long's really struggled for Miami in the 890 00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,160 Speaker 1: running game, in the receiving game, I think you could 891 00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,960 Speaker 1: take advantage of him when he's on the field with 892 00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:14,160 Speaker 1: some of those guys kincaide Shakir catching passes, and then 893 00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,600 Speaker 1: I mentioned Coleman's great. There's just a lot of matchups 894 00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:18,840 Speaker 1: that you like. When the Bills have the ball. I 895 00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:21,040 Speaker 1: think Miami could keep up in this game. That it's 896 00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:24,360 Speaker 1: not like a total blot. Six seems about right. But 897 00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:25,920 Speaker 1: but it's hard to pick against the Bills. 898 00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:28,560 Speaker 3: Miami's defenses hasn't played well all season. I mean, they've 899 00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:30,799 Speaker 3: had some injuries, but they just haven't shown when they've 900 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:32,919 Speaker 3: got a bow up, they haven't done it. And let's 901 00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,920 Speaker 3: not forget this is the John hu Smith game. Remember 902 00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:39,399 Speaker 3: earlier in the offseason or preseason he said, how bad 903 00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:41,200 Speaker 3: Buffalo as a city sucks. 904 00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,359 Speaker 2: I don't remember now, Yes, they do not. 905 00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,560 Speaker 3: Play that noise up there in Buffalo, and that's one 906 00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:50,160 Speaker 3: of the few fan bases you do not mess with. 907 00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:54,799 Speaker 3: You do not play with that. And so trust me, 908 00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:55,480 Speaker 3: this is gonna be one. 909 00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:58,000 Speaker 1: What are they gonna do, like throw a dough at 910 00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,360 Speaker 1: him like they did to Gronk back in the day. 911 00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:02,680 Speaker 3: That what they didn't do. It just wants either Craig, 912 00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,759 Speaker 3: maybe they'll throw two. It wasn't collectively, It wasn't a vote. 913 00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:10,160 Speaker 2: No, I know, but it happened. They still happened. I 914 00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:12,560 Speaker 2: mean they still we still get blamed like. 915 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:16,280 Speaker 1: The Yankees fans should get blamed for the behavior of those. 916 00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:17,520 Speaker 2: I don't care. 917 00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:21,520 Speaker 4: Johnny Smith had his hotel tour. They did not play 918 00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:23,440 Speaker 4: around up there in Buffalo. Somebody's in the crowd with 919 00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:28,800 Speaker 4: a resolution. Be it resolved. This toy will be launched 920 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:34,320 Speaker 4: at approximately one fifteen pm Eastern launching balls to Keon Coleman. 921 00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:38,640 Speaker 4: This season, Josh Allen, he's got the fifth most receiving 922 00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:42,239 Speaker 4: yards over expected in the NFL and a lot of 923 00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:46,160 Speaker 4: the because you know Keon Coleman that the dig can 924 00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:48,200 Speaker 4: be separation, but I think he's getting separation. 925 00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:49,960 Speaker 3: Yeah here recently. 926 00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:51,920 Speaker 4: The idea was that it's all going to be jump balls, 927 00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:55,080 Speaker 4: but as you pointed out, Greg playing much better football 928 00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:58,400 Speaker 4: the receive the Steven group. Amari Cooper had a wrist 929 00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:02,000 Speaker 4: injury at practice on Wednesday. He's question jumping, and I 930 00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:04,000 Speaker 4: on that one looks dicey. 931 00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:07,640 Speaker 1: That's concerning the Dolphins offense was much better last week. Now, 932 00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:10,680 Speaker 1: Tua did not complete many throws over ten passes. When 933 00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:14,440 Speaker 1: I reached rewatched that game, it was almost all sorts stuff. Uh, 934 00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:18,000 Speaker 1: there was one nice throw down the sideline to Tyreek Kill, 935 00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:21,000 Speaker 1: but there wasn't much. But everything was just more cohesive, 936 00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:22,920 Speaker 1: the motion, the plays, he got the ball out of 937 00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,000 Speaker 1: his hands, he played well. There was a couple spots 938 00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:26,680 Speaker 1: where you saw a little bit of rust. You know, 939 00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:29,760 Speaker 1: you had three fumbles in that game. A couple of them. 940 00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:31,720 Speaker 3: Were bad deep deep territory. 941 00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was including the center exchange, Like it was 942 00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:36,720 Speaker 1: tough to say who's at fault there, But you figure 943 00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:38,600 Speaker 1: he would be even tighter this week. 944 00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:40,399 Speaker 2: So I think the offense is going to be good. 945 00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:43,680 Speaker 1: They just I spent so much time in August not 946 00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:46,720 Speaker 1: to be like bring up a weird point. Nick Wright, 947 00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:50,560 Speaker 1: who does a great job over there on Fox. He's 948 00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:52,439 Speaker 1: been listening to NFL Dat. He was a guest too, 949 00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:56,200 Speaker 1: and he was like, NFL Daily is the primary source 950 00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:58,560 Speaker 1: for Odell Beckham information in the country, because I was 951 00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:01,240 Speaker 1: just updating every day. Is Odell Beckham gonna be healthy? 952 00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:04,240 Speaker 1: Is he doing anything at practice? Where's Odell Beckham? Thinking 953 00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:06,840 Speaker 1: like he was, you know, still a relevant guy. And 954 00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:09,760 Speaker 1: he's been active for three weeks. And I probably should 955 00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,040 Speaker 1: not have spent as much time in August on Odell Beckham. 956 00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:13,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know you carry, you carry the show. 957 00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:17,520 Speaker 3: Thank you, well done, thank you. And and there's people 958 00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:20,760 Speaker 3: who want to know I love Patrick dropping the D's formation. 959 00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:25,600 Speaker 1: I just I just thought, like, what couldn't I kept 960 00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:28,120 Speaker 1: I kept believing Odell's gonna make a comeback. And now 961 00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:30,680 Speaker 1: they got who was out there as their third receiver 962 00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:31,120 Speaker 1: last week? 963 00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:32,040 Speaker 2: Is d S Gridge? 964 00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:32,640 Speaker 3: Yes? 965 00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:35,800 Speaker 1: D S Gridge, Come on, bro, let's take a break 966 00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:37,600 Speaker 1: and let's come back. 967 00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:40,200 Speaker 2: We're gonna We're gonna talk about the. 968 00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:41,959 Speaker 1: Games with bigger point spreads, but it doesn't mean they're 969 00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:47,520 Speaker 1: not quality games. There's some juicy revenge matchups here, some 970 00:44:47,560 --> 00:45:04,239 Speaker 1: fun fun ones. I used to work at NBC. I 971 00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:09,799 Speaker 1: was not involved in the Sunday Night Football production, but 972 00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:12,200 Speaker 1: I knew people that were my good friend Matt Casey 973 00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:15,640 Speaker 1: still over there doing football night in America. And I 974 00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:17,840 Speaker 1: want to applaud them because they haven't been using the 975 00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:18,480 Speaker 1: flex enough. 976 00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:20,960 Speaker 2: Let for my taste, the last couple of years, they 977 00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:22,120 Speaker 2: barely ever flex the game. 978 00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:25,280 Speaker 1: Let me get a good games, I guess, but sometimes 979 00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:28,719 Speaker 1: it's a little squirrely. But this time they did a 980 00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:32,960 Speaker 1: service to America. They got Colts Vikings into Sunday Night Football. 981 00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:35,480 Speaker 1: I might say, like, that's not like the greatest game ever, 982 00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:37,839 Speaker 1: but it's better than JAG's Eagles. And to me, it's 983 00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:41,600 Speaker 1: very intriguing. Whether it was Anthony Richardson or Joe Flacco. 984 00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:43,320 Speaker 1: I want to see this game. I'm excited. 985 00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:46,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, get fired up for the battle of the former 986 00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:50,480 Speaker 3: Jets quarterbacks. It's Joe Flacco going up against Sam Darnold. 987 00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:52,200 Speaker 3: They were all in the same areas. 988 00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:56,360 Speaker 4: The Minnesota Vikings a five point favorite, the over unders 989 00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:59,680 Speaker 4: forty six and a half. Mike Turrico, Chris Collinsworth, Melissa 990 00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:02,920 Speaker 4: Stark on the call, oh Sunday Night, Everything leading up 991 00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:07,000 Speaker 4: to all that we want, except some of us would 992 00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:08,840 Speaker 4: have liked to see Anthony Richson in this game. The 993 00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:12,760 Speaker 4: Colts would not Steve does it matter against I'm. 994 00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:14,400 Speaker 3: Kind of like, speak for yourself. I'd rather see Joe 995 00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:17,040 Speaker 3: Flacko in this game because Anthony Richardson, I mean, look, 996 00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:18,879 Speaker 3: beside the tap out, he had not completed more than 997 00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:20,920 Speaker 3: fifty percent of passes in any game that he finished 998 00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:23,960 Speaker 3: all season. Was he was really hurting his team. I 999 00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:25,879 Speaker 3: get what they want to do because there are four 1000 00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:28,080 Speaker 3: and four. The Colts are a little bit better than 1001 00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:30,359 Speaker 3: we're giving him credit for. The Vikings have been a 1002 00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:33,160 Speaker 3: little shaky, especially on the defensive side. So if the 1003 00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:35,359 Speaker 3: Colts can run the ball a little bit and get 1004 00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:37,640 Speaker 3: some of that timing offense game that five points might 1005 00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:40,000 Speaker 3: be a bit much. But I think Minnesota's now had 1006 00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:42,960 Speaker 3: some time to think about things, especially since you know 1007 00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:45,920 Speaker 3: Sam Donald's getting face mask that wasn't called in the 1008 00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:46,480 Speaker 3: Rams game. 1009 00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:48,480 Speaker 2: They getting kicked off kblan. 1010 00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:50,480 Speaker 3: Is of QB Island two. He's little heard by that. 1011 00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:54,239 Speaker 3: I think Minnesota this extended break that they just had 1012 00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:56,520 Speaker 3: playing on Thursday night, they're going to tighten things up 1013 00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:59,320 Speaker 3: at a game like this, So you know, I like Donald, 1014 00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:01,960 Speaker 3: I like their offense. I just think justin Jefferson, the 1015 00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:03,239 Speaker 3: Colts don't have an answer for him. 1016 00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:07,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, the answer would just be pass rushed. 1017 00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:11,000 Speaker 1: So they were better last week with the Forest Buckner back. Yeah, 1018 00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:13,000 Speaker 1: I mean he I know it was against Houston, who 1019 00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,239 Speaker 1: doesn't have the best offensive line, but you saw the 1020 00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:19,120 Speaker 1: vision coming into the season. They didn't have Grover Stewart 1021 00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:21,239 Speaker 1: for a few weeks to Forest Buckner's healthy. 1022 00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:23,440 Speaker 2: Now you got Odegbo. You got a lot too. 1023 00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:25,920 Speaker 1: It's like, okay, this division, Gus Bradley's defense makes a 1024 00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:28,359 Speaker 1: little more sense. Can you get after Sam Darnold? He's 1025 00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:30,520 Speaker 1: holding the ball more than almost any quarterback in the lay. 1026 00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:32,600 Speaker 3: And Robinson might only have two days of practice at 1027 00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:33,200 Speaker 3: left tackle. 1028 00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:37,279 Speaker 1: Glad you mentioned that since we last recorded, there has 1029 00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:40,600 Speaker 1: been a trade. The Minnesota Vikings get Cam Robinson, who's 1030 00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:44,640 Speaker 1: played a lot of football starting for the Jacksonville Dagars, 1031 00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:47,080 Speaker 1: good enough that they're putting franchise tags on him. They're 1032 00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:49,239 Speaker 1: paying him a lot of money. They did not have 1033 00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:50,719 Speaker 1: to give up much to do it. So I love 1034 00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:53,560 Speaker 1: that trade for the Vikings, very little risk. It was 1035 00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:57,040 Speaker 1: for a fourth round conditional pick, so that's outstanding for them. 1036 00:47:57,080 --> 00:47:59,120 Speaker 1: We'll see if Blake Cashman was back. I think that 1037 00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:01,440 Speaker 1: was an important part to that Thursday night loss. Really 1038 00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:04,040 Speaker 1: the two straight losses is their linebackers were getting a 1039 00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:07,560 Speaker 1: little cooked in covered so Cashman would help them. And yeah, 1040 00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:11,640 Speaker 1: I love a team like Minnesota recognizing maybe maybe they're 1041 00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:14,200 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl contenders, maybe they're not. But either way, 1042 00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:18,560 Speaker 1: losing Christian darrif Saw for the season really lowered their ceiling. 1043 00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:22,080 Speaker 1: So getting a quality guy back, like, there's nothing more 1044 00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:24,719 Speaker 1: important than now you know your fourth round pick. That's 1045 00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:27,000 Speaker 1: that's the future. Let's have a little fun here and 1046 00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:28,759 Speaker 1: let's go beat the Colts on Sunday night. 1047 00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:31,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think it makes it makes perfect sense 1048 00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:33,320 Speaker 4: that darrisol loss was huge. 1049 00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:36,080 Speaker 3: Yep. Being able to go get a guy who started 1050 00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:39,080 Speaker 3: won a lot of games and Cam Robinson made perfect 1051 00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:42,040 Speaker 3: sense to me. The price seemed a lot of these trades, 1052 00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:45,799 Speaker 3: especially for contenders. Speaking tenders, it's easy inspiring. He's got 1053 00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:47,160 Speaker 3: inspiring contract. 1054 00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:49,600 Speaker 1: I know, but they get like compensatory picks in theory 1055 00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:50,960 Speaker 1: if they want to play the game, which like the 1056 00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:54,080 Speaker 1: Ravens will play that game. You know, it was pointed 1057 00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:56,000 Speaker 1: out like they're going to get a compensatory back just 1058 00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:57,239 Speaker 1: to make up for that pick. 1059 00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:59,880 Speaker 2: Anyways, probably it's crazy and. 1060 00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:03,120 Speaker 4: Something that you know, in defense of Anthony Richardson, which 1061 00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:05,279 Speaker 4: is something that our friend of the show, Nate Tyce 1062 00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:09,759 Speaker 4: pointed out as well. This offense is designed to go 1063 00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:12,719 Speaker 4: down the field, especially when Anthony Richardson's planned. And if 1064 00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:16,240 Speaker 4: you look at the knickttion gen stats, his expected completion 1065 00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:20,000 Speaker 4: percentage is just based on the location of the receivers 1066 00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:22,680 Speaker 4: and the target of where things are going. He's got 1067 00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:25,560 Speaker 4: one of the lowest amongst starters in the league, the 1068 00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:29,600 Speaker 4: starting quarterbacks, the absolute lowest. His average depth of target 1069 00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,200 Speaker 4: is one of the highest, like they take shots, and 1070 00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:35,320 Speaker 4: so the offense doesn't really expect Anthony Richardson to complete 1071 00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:38,200 Speaker 4: passes at a very high clip. And you know, the 1072 00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:43,479 Speaker 4: toughness whatever about tapping out. I just it's one play 1073 00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:45,759 Speaker 4: he shakes off a dude's three hundred pounds, he goes 1074 00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:47,960 Speaker 4: running like he taps out of the play. Yeah, you 1075 00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:50,200 Speaker 4: don't want to say that, perhaps he's covering up something 1076 00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:52,760 Speaker 4: else he's missed games. People have questioned his toughness before 1077 00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,680 Speaker 4: because he's a human being who dares to have human 1078 00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:59,359 Speaker 4: body parts. I just I don't see it as big 1079 00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:02,320 Speaker 4: enough deal. But get we get Joe. 1080 00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:04,359 Speaker 1: Throwing the throwing the three hundred pounder off and being 1081 00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:06,120 Speaker 1: tired after that. I mean, running backs do that all 1082 00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:08,880 Speaker 1: the time, and no one goes crazy about that that 1083 00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:11,600 Speaker 1: you take a playoffs enstich In, for what it's worth, 1084 00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:14,520 Speaker 1: said that had no impact on his decision now. He 1085 00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:17,839 Speaker 1: also said Joe Flacco is the starting quarterback moving forward. 1086 00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:19,640 Speaker 1: It's not just like a one week now you have 1087 00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:22,360 Speaker 1: to say that. I took nothing out of that statement, 1088 00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:24,960 Speaker 1: And I talked about the four week stretch they have 1089 00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:27,000 Speaker 1: coming up. Three of the games are against three of 1090 00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:30,120 Speaker 1: the best teams in the league, this one, the Bills, 1091 00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:32,279 Speaker 1: and the Lions are coming up, and if Flacco can 1092 00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:34,200 Speaker 1: get them a win against one of those teams, he'll 1093 00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:37,120 Speaker 1: keep that job. And if he can't, he probably won't 1094 00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:40,279 Speaker 1: and and they'll go back to him. But the whole 1095 00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:43,279 Speaker 1: idea of like like whether he was tough or not, 1096 00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:46,000 Speaker 1: I don't think that had a I just think he 1097 00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:48,480 Speaker 1: didn't look like a confident player. So I think Joe 1098 00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:50,960 Speaker 1: Flacco also is not a normal backup. I don't even 1099 00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:53,640 Speaker 1: think he's Andy Dalton or Jameis Winston. I think he's 1100 00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:56,080 Speaker 1: better the way he's played the last few years. He's 1101 00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:58,239 Speaker 1: played at a very high level. So I want to 1102 00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:01,000 Speaker 1: see that Joe Flacco against Yeah, and you talk. 1103 00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:02,799 Speaker 3: About the offense design drive the ball down the field. 1104 00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:04,640 Speaker 3: What does Joe Flacco do. He drives the ball down 1105 00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:07,239 Speaker 3: the field. It'll be on schedule. I don't think the 1106 00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:09,680 Speaker 3: toughness thing came into the decision, even though if you're 1107 00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:12,480 Speaker 3: an offensive lineman or whatever and you're you're just eating 1108 00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:14,400 Speaker 3: fist and everything all game to protect this guy and 1109 00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:17,080 Speaker 3: he taps out, that can't sit well. But I just 1110 00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:19,799 Speaker 3: think these guys know Anthony Richardson better than anyone. Shane 1111 00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:21,759 Speaker 3: Stike and I think is a hell of a coach, right. 1112 00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:24,960 Speaker 3: I think he recognizes he was that Anthony richard started 1113 00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:26,959 Speaker 3: to swim up stream mentally a little bit. He had 1114 00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,640 Speaker 3: to calm him down to save him. So I think 1115 00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:31,960 Speaker 3: that's more of anything in this in this decision. 1116 00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:34,120 Speaker 2: A couple other things in this game. TJ. 1117 00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:38,320 Speaker 1: Hockinson expected to return welcome back first time in almost 1118 00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:41,080 Speaker 1: a year, about ten months or so, so that'll be great. 1119 00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:43,799 Speaker 1: If they lose this game, they'll be the first five 1120 00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:48,960 Speaker 1: and oh team since the twenty sixteen cursed Minnesota Vikings 1121 00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:51,720 Speaker 1: team that went from five and oh to like well 1122 00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:55,640 Speaker 1: out of the playoffs. The was a very controversial team 1123 00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:58,080 Speaker 1: of around the NFL pick that we picked the moment 1124 00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:01,040 Speaker 1: they got to five and oh and then they absolutely 1125 00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:04,160 Speaker 1: nose dive with Sam Bradford as their quarterback. 1126 00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:06,160 Speaker 2: And so you got to want to win this game. 1127 00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:10,040 Speaker 1: And you know, as someone who does have Josh Downs 1128 00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:12,040 Speaker 1: in a fantasy league, I don't hate this move to 1129 00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:12,600 Speaker 1: Joe Flacca. 1130 00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:15,040 Speaker 3: I'm just saying Josh Downs was eating with Athrey Richardson. 1131 00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:17,840 Speaker 2: That's true. Josh Downs is so good. He's a really good. 1132 00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:20,120 Speaker 3: Pleasing, great Drake Mays college receiver. 1133 00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:21,239 Speaker 2: This guy. That's true. 1134 00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:26,680 Speaker 3: Moving on, and also, yeah, this this one, this one's exciting. 1135 00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:30,680 Speaker 3: You know why because Derek Carr is back. Baby. The 1136 00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:34,399 Speaker 3: New Orleans Saints a seven point favorite on the road 1137 00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:37,919 Speaker 3: in Charlotte, where we found out this week from Dave 1138 00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:41,279 Speaker 3: Canalis that Bryce Young is going to start the over 1139 00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:43,920 Speaker 3: under forty three and a half, Tom McCarthy, Jay Feely 1140 00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:47,960 Speaker 3: and a Mendo Bell littleness on the call. Greg Bryce 1141 00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:49,799 Speaker 3: is back. He did it. He got his job. 1142 00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:51,319 Speaker 2: I thought he played better. 1143 00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:54,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, against the Broncos in some tough situation. Now, he 1144 00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:58,120 Speaker 1: had one really bad interception in the fourth quarter that 1145 00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:01,120 Speaker 1: made reminded you of the old Bryce that we saw 1146 00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:02,480 Speaker 1: the first couple weeks of the season when he was 1147 00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:05,040 Speaker 1: struggling last year. But for the most part, he pushed 1148 00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:07,120 Speaker 1: the ball down the field. He was much more aggressive, 1149 00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:11,120 Speaker 1: He trusted his arm, and he delivered a number of 1150 00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:14,160 Speaker 1: really nice throws. The turnovers he can't have, but I 1151 00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:17,960 Speaker 1: was worried that the turnovers were gonna get him back 1152 00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:20,560 Speaker 1: on the bench, when actually I thought the performance deserved 1153 00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:23,960 Speaker 1: another look against the defense that's not really playing very well. 1154 00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:26,040 Speaker 1: We don't know if Marshall Latimore is gonna be there. 1155 00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:27,680 Speaker 1: They don't have much of a pass rush. When you 1156 00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:31,000 Speaker 1: think about Panthers OH line versus Saints D line, I 1157 00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:32,600 Speaker 1: actually think that's a win for the Panthers. 1158 00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:34,840 Speaker 3: Yeah. Look, and to get back to Bryce, you know, 1159 00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:37,759 Speaker 3: I spoke to someone who you know, was on the 1160 00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:40,640 Speaker 3: one of the Broncos coaches who said that Bryce made 1161 00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:43,719 Speaker 3: all the right decisions, like he played well, it's just 1162 00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:46,640 Speaker 3: a matter of there's just not much around him. Like 1163 00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:48,600 Speaker 3: he could basically play his tail off and they can 1164 00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:53,000 Speaker 3: still just not generate points because there's just not great protection. 1165 00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:56,239 Speaker 3: Just some of the things you're doing just aren't that fantastic, 1166 00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:58,759 Speaker 3: which is why the seven for the. 1167 00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:00,840 Speaker 2: Saints had a slight to the coach or the talent 1168 00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:01,320 Speaker 2: or both. 1169 00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:06,480 Speaker 3: I think it's probably again was to both because they're 1170 00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:07,319 Speaker 3: just trying to figure out. 1171 00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:09,839 Speaker 2: I give you the hard questions, but I. 1172 00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:11,160 Speaker 3: Mean I'm just saying that they're trying to figure out 1173 00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:13,000 Speaker 3: what to do. Like, we have him back here, We've 1174 00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:14,800 Speaker 3: got all kind of guys who probably should be on 1175 00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:16,799 Speaker 3: practice squad playing, you know, how do we figure this 1176 00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:19,120 Speaker 3: one out? So it's not necessarily a bad coaching, but 1177 00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:20,480 Speaker 3: it's like, Okay, how do we put the pieces of 1178 00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:24,040 Speaker 3: the puzzle together to be competitive? But in this game 1179 00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:26,440 Speaker 3: right here with the seven is a big number. I mean, 1180 00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:29,000 Speaker 3: the Saints absolutely boat raced him early in the season, 1181 00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:32,279 Speaker 3: but Caroline has diminished. They just, you know, they just 1182 00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:34,960 Speaker 3: lost the receiver. I think that they were actually pretty 1183 00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:37,840 Speaker 3: happy to get rid of. There weren't a lot of 1184 00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:40,120 Speaker 3: there weren't a lot of people biting at that apple 1185 00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:41,400 Speaker 3: at the trade deadline. 1186 00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:45,839 Speaker 2: Clearly on the compete, so you. 1187 00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:50,560 Speaker 3: Know, what did he do? That we don't know that 1188 00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:52,440 Speaker 3: we don't know. I mean, he could play, but there 1189 00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:54,000 Speaker 3: weren't a lot of people, Like I said, biting at 1190 00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:54,440 Speaker 3: that apple. 1191 00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:58,560 Speaker 2: He ain't better lose this game though. No, I'm just 1192 00:54:58,600 --> 00:54:59,200 Speaker 2: saying no. 1193 00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:03,279 Speaker 1: So you think I mean I would put it past them, 1194 00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:08,160 Speaker 1: I know, But I just think if you lost this game. 1195 00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:12,080 Speaker 1: They've been pretty patient. They have an very easy schedule 1196 00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:14,360 Speaker 1: coming up, so they're still trying to convince themselves they 1197 00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:17,920 Speaker 1: could be relevant. But you lose this game to the Panthers, 1198 00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:20,239 Speaker 1: I think that'd be Yeah, that'd be trouble. It is 1199 00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:23,160 Speaker 1: a bad, bad, bad Panthers defense. When you talk about 1200 00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:25,520 Speaker 1: a lack of talent, clown. He's out there actually making 1201 00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:27,680 Speaker 1: some plays the last couple weeks and maybe he'll get traded. 1202 00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:29,799 Speaker 2: But other than that and JC Horn, it's rough. 1203 00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:32,160 Speaker 3: Yeah. I remember last year when the Falcons went up 1204 00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:34,560 Speaker 3: to Carolina and lost. That was it for Arthur Smith. 1205 00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:36,680 Speaker 3: I mean, there's one thing owners can own. Owners can 1206 00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:39,239 Speaker 3: tolerate losing. They can't tolerate being embarrassed. 1207 00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:44,040 Speaker 4: The Saints have a ten point six explosive pass rate 1208 00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:45,279 Speaker 4: since Week three. 1209 00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:47,399 Speaker 3: Derek Carr were glad to have him back. He comes 1210 00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:51,719 Speaker 3: back there's no Rashid Shaheed. I think that number continues 1211 00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:55,200 Speaker 3: to not necessarily be that great for the New Orleans Saints. 1212 00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:57,120 Speaker 2: I bet it's a lot higher on defense. 1213 00:55:57,200 --> 00:55:59,719 Speaker 1: I saw a stat that they have given up seven 1214 00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:03,040 Speaker 1: plays over forty five yards this year and twenty four 1215 00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:04,680 Speaker 1: plays over thirty yards. 1216 00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:05,960 Speaker 2: That's crazy you talk about it. 1217 00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:07,239 Speaker 3: He's not generating pass rush. 1218 00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:11,000 Speaker 2: That's DA's defense right now, that's you know ee, all right, Bryce, 1219 00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:11,480 Speaker 2: let's go. 1220 00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:14,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, let's do it. Bryce. I'm not gonna pick it, 1221 00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:15,719 Speaker 3: but yeah, I don't like that seven. I don't like 1222 00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:17,080 Speaker 3: that seven. Let's do it. 1223 00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:19,799 Speaker 4: Let's go to a guy who played a pretty good 1224 00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:23,320 Speaker 4: game against a pretty good defense last week, Gardner Minshew 1225 00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:26,880 Speaker 4: and the Las Vegas Raiders on the road against Burrow 1226 00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:30,439 Speaker 4: and Chase, who are seven point home favorites forty six 1227 00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:33,200 Speaker 4: and a half. Kevin Coogler, Daryl Johnston and laur Oakman 1228 00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:36,680 Speaker 4: on the call. We've been trying to figure out this 1229 00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:39,640 Speaker 4: Bengals defense. It turns out that they're struggling. 1230 00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:41,480 Speaker 3: Greg. Do they struggle against the Raiders? 1231 00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:44,239 Speaker 2: No, I don't think so. 1232 00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:47,000 Speaker 1: Their offensive line struggled last week, which was the most 1233 00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:49,640 Speaker 1: concerning part of that game against Philadelphia because I thought 1234 00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:51,880 Speaker 1: they'd been playing well this year. But you lose Orlando 1235 00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:56,880 Speaker 1: Brown and if their offensive line becomes an issue consistently, 1236 00:56:57,600 --> 00:56:59,879 Speaker 1: then this team just doesn't have enough. And we thought 1237 00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:02,640 Speaker 1: we saw last week like even without T Higgins they 1238 00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:03,640 Speaker 1: might not have enough. 1239 00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:05,280 Speaker 2: They are very star driven. 1240 00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:08,800 Speaker 1: Orlando Brown and T Higgins were both not at practice 1241 00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:11,160 Speaker 1: on Wednesday, but it is the Raiders who are Max 1242 00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:13,359 Speaker 1: Crosby and not a lot of depth there on their 1243 00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:16,360 Speaker 1: defensive line, so I would think they can still get 1244 00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:18,560 Speaker 1: it done. But they're really they're a star driven team. 1245 00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:21,360 Speaker 1: And you mentioned Jesse Bates earlier, and I just kept thinking, like, 1246 00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:23,919 Speaker 1: what a misevaluation not to pay your own guy. 1247 00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:27,160 Speaker 3: Oh geez, Bengals not paying their own guns and you 1248 00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:28,080 Speaker 3: kind of flourish. 1249 00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:31,080 Speaker 1: And now you're maybe seeing it with T Higgins too, 1250 00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:34,040 Speaker 1: So that's that's it. Like if they had Jesse Bates, 1251 00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:35,840 Speaker 1: that would have solved a lot of their issues. 1252 00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:37,280 Speaker 2: I think the last two years. 1253 00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:40,040 Speaker 3: Look, we don't know what the Bengals are. The Raiders 1254 00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:42,560 Speaker 3: are going to go in there and they're gonna compete. 1255 00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:45,720 Speaker 3: They're they're I mean, look, they're teetering right now, right 1256 00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:49,160 Speaker 3: and Antonio Pierce. It's like, you know, we want to 1257 00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:51,240 Speaker 3: see who's who's a grown man, Who's gonna who's gonna 1258 00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:52,720 Speaker 3: come and play football. I think they're gonna give the 1259 00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:55,600 Speaker 3: Bengals hell this game, but I just don't know if 1260 00:57:55,600 --> 00:57:58,240 Speaker 3: they can consistently stop. You know that the Bengals are 1261 00:57:58,240 --> 00:58:00,560 Speaker 3: putting points on the board and speaking about paying guys 1262 00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:01,520 Speaker 3: in Cincinnati misses. 1263 00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:05,320 Speaker 2: Joe Mixon, that one I get. 1264 00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:08,400 Speaker 1: He kept He kept getting hurt mid season, which you 1265 00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:10,720 Speaker 1: can't blame a guy for getting hurt, but it was 1266 00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:13,160 Speaker 1: consistent year after year where he start. 1267 00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:14,760 Speaker 2: I can't blame him for Joe Mixon. 1268 00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:17,240 Speaker 1: I feel like Chase Brown and Zach Moss as a 1269 00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:20,280 Speaker 1: tandem is low on their list of issues. 1270 00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:23,720 Speaker 4: True, that's all, but it is interesting that they it 1271 00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:26,880 Speaker 4: was loaded up with volume for Joe Mixon. 1272 00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:29,600 Speaker 3: Yes, and there's and now there's guys to share. 1273 00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:31,840 Speaker 4: I wonder if Joe's like, hey, we could have kept 1274 00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:35,840 Speaker 4: a little more tread on little HighRes for Joe if 1275 00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:38,480 Speaker 4: we presented things that way. But you mentioned Max Crosby. 1276 00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:41,800 Speaker 4: Steve his his pressure rate this season is the lowest 1277 00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:44,600 Speaker 4: for him since twenty twenty, and I think a lot 1278 00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:47,960 Speaker 4: of that is the defense being under manned, yes, and 1279 00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:49,960 Speaker 4: they are here in this one. 1280 00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:53,080 Speaker 3: I understand that the Bengals have issues up front, but 1281 00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:57,440 Speaker 3: this this Raiders defense, despite having some opportunity to be 1282 00:58:57,560 --> 00:59:00,760 Speaker 3: very very close against Patrick Mahomes last week, that there 1283 00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:03,080 Speaker 3: were plays on the field to be made. They always 1284 00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:04,960 Speaker 3: played the Raiders close. I mean they always play the 1285 00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:08,240 Speaker 3: Chiefs close, just did not did not make them. And 1286 00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:12,280 Speaker 3: Jamar Chase right now again, go into the fantasy world. 1287 00:59:12,720 --> 00:59:16,040 Speaker 3: He's averaging two point six points per target right now. 1288 00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:19,840 Speaker 2: That's a lot, in other words, giving him targets he's eating. 1289 00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:23,800 Speaker 3: Load him up against against this Raiders secondary. What about 1290 00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:26,560 Speaker 3: Mike KASICKI He's gonna do some things as well too. 1291 00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:28,479 Speaker 2: He could playing well. I would have ever. 1292 00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:32,320 Speaker 1: You know, I apologize to Mike Kasiki for what the 1293 00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:34,480 Speaker 1: New England Patriots did to your career because I thought 1294 00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:37,880 Speaker 1: you were beyond done. I thought all the Bengals fans 1295 00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:40,919 Speaker 1: talking about, oh yeah, Kasiki's gonna really help us out, 1296 00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:42,880 Speaker 1: and I was like, are you crazy? 1297 00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:44,840 Speaker 2: But he actually looks pretty good. Him and Eric all 1298 00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:47,480 Speaker 2: are a good, uh good tight end tandem. 1299 00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:51,760 Speaker 3: Let's go to Jacksonville where they will go to Philadelphia 1300 00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:54,760 Speaker 3: A seven and a half point favorite coming off. 1301 00:59:54,600 --> 00:59:57,800 Speaker 4: The win against the Cincinnati Bengals. The over under forty 1302 00:59:57,800 --> 01:00:00,400 Speaker 4: five and a half. Andrew catalong Tiki Barber, Jason according 1303 01:00:00,440 --> 01:00:03,800 Speaker 4: and A j Ross on the call. Uh, Steve, we 1304 01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:07,080 Speaker 4: are gonna see this Jags passing attack. They lost Christian 1305 01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:11,560 Speaker 4: Kirk for the season. Tough one, Uh Trev coming in 1306 01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:15,600 Speaker 4: missing a man? Can they do enough to clear that 1307 01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:16,320 Speaker 4: seven and a half? 1308 01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:17,840 Speaker 3: I guess I don't like the seven and a half. 1309 01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:19,160 Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be a I think it's gonna 1310 01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:22,160 Speaker 3: be a tighter game than that. I know Philadelphie's been 1311 01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:27,200 Speaker 3: running the ball well, Jalen's been playing well. But you know, 1312 01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:29,720 Speaker 3: I think for Jacksonville getting Foyer a Lucan back and 1313 01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:31,360 Speaker 3: been a linebacker. You know, I was with them for 1314 01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:33,080 Speaker 3: a couple weeks over in London, and they're like they 1315 01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:36,200 Speaker 3: they missed the fact he's the guy who gets everybody aligned, 1316 01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:37,720 Speaker 3: making sure if a guy's out of a gap, he 1317 01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:40,720 Speaker 3: gets in the right gap. I think they know if 1318 01:00:40,760 --> 01:00:43,520 Speaker 3: they're gonna play Phildelphia tough. I I you know, Evan 1319 01:00:43,640 --> 01:00:46,760 Speaker 3: Inglam's probably gonna gonna eat. You know, he's gonna have 1320 01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:49,720 Speaker 3: ten twelve targets. He's gonna do his thing. Brian Thomas 1321 01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:53,960 Speaker 3: is a special player. I don't know. I'm not saying 1322 01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:55,880 Speaker 3: they're gonna gonna beat Phildelpi people that seven and a 1323 01:00:55,880 --> 01:00:57,720 Speaker 3: half as a big, big number for me. 1324 01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:00,360 Speaker 1: You know, they got some players back from in like 1325 01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:03,320 Speaker 1: a Lua Kahn and Tyson Campbell's an important player for 1326 01:01:03,360 --> 01:01:05,760 Speaker 1: them who came back. But then they had all these 1327 01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:08,800 Speaker 1: new injuries pop up. Christian Kirk, Brian Thomas had the 1328 01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:11,040 Speaker 1: chest injury, although he was at practice Wednesday, so it 1329 01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:12,840 Speaker 1: sounds like he'll be able to play this week. But 1330 01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:15,560 Speaker 1: Brandon Sheriff, who's a starter for them on the offensive line, 1331 01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:18,920 Speaker 1: another offensive line starter, Azra Cleveland. So this is a 1332 01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:21,720 Speaker 1: team that can't afford injuries. And I am really curious 1333 01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:27,200 Speaker 1: if the Eagles have really embraced this identity as a 1334 01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:31,720 Speaker 1: run first type of team because it's working. Jalen Hurts 1335 01:01:32,120 --> 01:01:36,200 Speaker 1: maybe he's a quarterback. It's more with less Let's recognize 1336 01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:39,280 Speaker 1: that our offensive line really good run blocking, that Jalen 1337 01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:42,400 Speaker 1: Hurts is a really good runner, and that he opens 1338 01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:43,800 Speaker 1: up things for Saquon Barkley. 1339 01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:45,800 Speaker 2: It can be mutually beneficial. 1340 01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:49,000 Speaker 1: And that maybe it's not great to just drop back 1341 01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:51,800 Speaker 1: and pass because early in games they've been dropping back 1342 01:01:51,840 --> 01:01:54,480 Speaker 1: at a really high volume and they still have yet 1343 01:01:54,520 --> 01:01:56,440 Speaker 1: to score in the first quarter of a game this year. 1344 01:01:56,440 --> 01:01:57,160 Speaker 2: Isn't that's crazy? 1345 01:01:57,400 --> 01:02:00,320 Speaker 1: Now, that's it's such a crazy stat and it feels 1346 01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:02,680 Speaker 1: like it should have an asterisk. After last week they 1347 01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:04,880 Speaker 1: didn't have the They scored on their first possession last 1348 01:02:04,920 --> 01:02:07,000 Speaker 1: week for the first time, but the Bengals had the 1349 01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:09,840 Speaker 1: ball for eleven minutes, so their first possession didn't even 1350 01:02:09,960 --> 01:02:12,480 Speaker 1: end till till the second quarter started, so and that 1351 01:02:12,520 --> 01:02:14,720 Speaker 1: included a lot of running. So I just was thinking 1352 01:02:14,720 --> 01:02:17,760 Speaker 1: this team's looked more physical. Their defensive line has played 1353 01:02:17,880 --> 01:02:20,120 Speaker 1: quite well the last handful week. Now, I think it's 1354 01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:22,120 Speaker 1: really a trend, and I think they'll be able to 1355 01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:25,280 Speaker 1: continue that against the Jaguars. I'm taken. I'm taking the 1356 01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:27,240 Speaker 1: Eagles even with the seven and a half. I think 1357 01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:29,240 Speaker 1: they roll in this game. This was the game that 1358 01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:32,600 Speaker 1: we had talked about making our survivor before we decided 1359 01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:34,360 Speaker 1: to be a little bolder, but this would be another 1360 01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:35,240 Speaker 1: fine option. 1361 01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:35,520 Speaker 3: In my mind. 1362 01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:38,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, and I'm glad in hindsight looking back and saying, yeah, 1363 01:02:38,480 --> 01:02:40,720 Speaker 4: I'm glad that we went with our Bowl pick okay 1364 01:02:40,880 --> 01:02:43,880 Speaker 4: instead of this one because it's again, it's a hurt 1365 01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:46,840 Speaker 4: Jags team, even hurt on the offensive line where they 1366 01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:50,120 Speaker 4: just traded a left tackle who started seventy five games 1367 01:02:50,560 --> 01:02:51,280 Speaker 4: in the NFL. 1368 01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:54,360 Speaker 3: It's especially I do. 1369 01:02:54,320 --> 01:02:58,640 Speaker 4: Think right looking at a fully healthy DeVante Smith and 1370 01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:04,439 Speaker 4: aj Brown, that that that's the identity the run game 1371 01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:08,080 Speaker 4: and then deep shots to both of those guys, waiting 1372 01:03:08,120 --> 01:03:11,240 Speaker 4: to see when they can get Dallas Goddard back. 1373 01:03:11,280 --> 01:03:14,000 Speaker 3: Although Grant CalCon teris played wolf fine sounds. 1374 01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:18,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, but I think that full contingent that that helps 1375 01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:20,560 Speaker 4: the passing game probably more than anything. I mean, everybody 1376 01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:22,880 Speaker 4: deals with injuries, but I think Jalen's numbers look a 1377 01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:27,200 Speaker 4: lot better in that instance. And this this Jags defense, 1378 01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:31,920 Speaker 4: I think, like when you sort the statistics, because I 1379 01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:34,200 Speaker 4: try to find like where, where's everything going on there? 1380 01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:35,440 Speaker 3: They're not like overall bad. 1381 01:03:35,480 --> 01:03:38,040 Speaker 4: They're not giving up a huge bunch of chunk runs, 1382 01:03:38,120 --> 01:03:41,120 Speaker 4: but it's just situational runs, like when they make so 1383 01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:42,280 Speaker 4: many mistakes they. 1384 01:03:42,160 --> 01:03:44,960 Speaker 3: Need to stuff. It was third down, third and six, 1385 01:03:45,120 --> 01:03:48,280 Speaker 3: like they gave up a third and five draw last week. 1386 01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:50,680 Speaker 3: They had all those penalties against the Chicago Bears, like 1387 01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:53,000 Speaker 3: when they need to get off the field, they just 1388 01:03:53,120 --> 01:03:56,760 Speaker 3: can't do it. And it is it is simple basic stuff. Again, 1389 01:03:56,760 --> 01:03:58,520 Speaker 3: spending time with him over two weeks a month. It 1390 01:03:58,560 --> 01:04:04,080 Speaker 3: is guys not lining up properly, playing the wrong gaps, 1391 01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:07,960 Speaker 3: just simple simple things he's getting. You know, they're drive 1392 01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:10,160 Speaker 3: against the Bears. They had three defensive holdings, allowed the 1393 01:04:10,160 --> 01:04:11,720 Speaker 3: Bears to get to the ends and on one drive 1394 01:04:11,760 --> 01:04:13,280 Speaker 3: on third down, all three on third down. 1395 01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:15,040 Speaker 1: See, I think that's great because it's a week that 1396 01:04:15,080 --> 01:04:18,000 Speaker 1: the Eagles. I think they could outsmart themselves sometimes. You know, 1397 01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:21,320 Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni's enjoying this week no longer the main character, 1398 01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:23,920 Speaker 1: Like this is a team they can just run some basics. 1399 01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:28,800 Speaker 1: It's at the trap doors against it's against Doug Peterson. 1400 01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:31,680 Speaker 1: That's the revenge. There is some revenge going on here 1401 01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:34,040 Speaker 1: because Doug Peterson, I don't think, was thrilled with how 1402 01:04:34,440 --> 01:04:36,400 Speaker 1: his time in Philadelphia ended. 1403 01:04:36,440 --> 01:04:38,760 Speaker 2: That's why this was originally the Sunday night game. They moved, 1404 01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:39,840 Speaker 2: they moved out of it. 1405 01:04:40,280 --> 01:04:42,880 Speaker 1: So I I've had this thing in my head that 1406 01:04:43,760 --> 01:04:46,120 Speaker 1: until these last couple of weeks they really were on 1407 01:04:46,160 --> 01:04:50,200 Speaker 1: this timeline that they were repeating their previous time they 1408 01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:52,480 Speaker 1: made the Super Bowl, you know, not that time they 1409 01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:52,880 Speaker 1: won it. 1410 01:04:52,920 --> 01:04:53,880 Speaker 2: This time they didn't. 1411 01:04:53,960 --> 01:04:56,760 Speaker 1: But like the next season was very similar to Doug 1412 01:04:56,800 --> 01:04:59,840 Speaker 1: Peterson's follow up season, and then and that con they 1413 01:04:59,840 --> 01:05:02,920 Speaker 1: get the contract to the quarterback, and then the production 1414 01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:05,120 Speaker 1: goes down almost immediately, and I was like, I do 1415 01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:07,360 Speaker 1: not want to see Nick Sirianni and Jalen Hurts go 1416 01:05:07,480 --> 01:05:09,240 Speaker 1: the way of Peterson and Carson Wentz. 1417 01:05:09,400 --> 01:05:10,720 Speaker 2: And I think they've righted the ship. 1418 01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:13,200 Speaker 1: So this this is a time for the Eagles to 1419 01:05:13,240 --> 01:05:18,720 Speaker 1: show we're not Doug Peterson's Eagles. 1420 01:05:18,920 --> 01:05:24,000 Speaker 3: I'm pissed off. Angelo. I don't know man, trapdoor, trapdoor. 1421 01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:27,560 Speaker 3: Speaking of teams going on the road from Florida who 1422 01:05:27,560 --> 01:05:30,960 Speaker 3: have injuries at receiver, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the 1423 01:05:31,040 --> 01:05:34,640 Speaker 3: road at Kansas City, eight and a half point favorites. 1424 01:05:34,760 --> 01:05:38,560 Speaker 3: It's Monday Night Football. Joe Buck, Troy Aikman, Lisa Salters. 1425 01:05:38,600 --> 01:05:40,640 Speaker 4: There's an alternate broadcast where you can listen to Bill 1426 01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:43,120 Speaker 4: Belichick's they mean things about the Patriots or the Jets 1427 01:05:43,120 --> 01:05:48,280 Speaker 4: as well, and Greg Baker Mayfield with a chance to 1428 01:05:48,320 --> 01:05:51,320 Speaker 4: go out there and shock the world and all the doubters, 1429 01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:53,680 Speaker 4: yourself included what happened? 1430 01:05:53,680 --> 01:05:59,000 Speaker 1: You know what, I'd like to issue a small apology 1431 01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:04,520 Speaker 1: for my snide Baker comment on Sunday night, watching rewatching 1432 01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:06,640 Speaker 1: that game a little closer, I thought he played well 1433 01:06:06,680 --> 01:06:08,880 Speaker 1: in that game. He had the couple picks, but that 1434 01:06:08,960 --> 01:06:12,160 Speaker 1: game he was not a problem for the team. Now, 1435 01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:16,800 Speaker 1: I do think it's interesting that Dave Canalis got the 1436 01:06:16,840 --> 01:06:20,480 Speaker 1: head coaching job in Carolina based on what a good 1437 01:06:20,560 --> 01:06:23,800 Speaker 1: job he did with Baker Mayfield in this Bucks offense. 1438 01:06:24,040 --> 01:06:28,760 Speaker 1: And I don't think it's even subjective. This Buccaneers offense 1439 01:06:28,920 --> 01:06:32,800 Speaker 1: is coached better this year and Baker Mayfield is better 1440 01:06:32,840 --> 01:06:35,280 Speaker 1: this year. So I don't know what that says about 1441 01:06:35,360 --> 01:06:37,240 Speaker 1: Dave Canalis or not. 1442 01:06:37,600 --> 01:06:40,680 Speaker 2: But I'm just i't why Dave Canalis got that job. 1443 01:06:41,040 --> 01:06:43,560 Speaker 3: It's not no. There's about seven other dudes who said. 1444 01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:45,800 Speaker 2: No, Okay, okay, that's part of it. That's fair. 1445 01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:48,960 Speaker 1: I guess that's my roundabout way of giving a backhanded 1446 01:06:50,520 --> 01:06:53,720 Speaker 1: dig to Canalis, but also complementing Liam Cohen because I 1447 01:06:53,800 --> 01:06:55,960 Speaker 1: actually do think they have enough pieces. When I watched 1448 01:06:55,960 --> 01:06:59,640 Speaker 1: that game, I did not think that the lack of 1449 01:07:00,320 --> 01:07:02,880 Speaker 1: Goodwin and Evans were the reason they lost. They got 1450 01:07:02,960 --> 01:07:06,640 Speaker 1: enough good production out of Jarrett and Trey Palmer and 1451 01:07:06,680 --> 01:07:10,320 Speaker 1: my guya, And it was really their defense. Their defense 1452 01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:12,400 Speaker 1: has been as big or a bigger issue this year 1453 01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:13,280 Speaker 1: under Tide Bowles. 1454 01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:14,920 Speaker 2: It's just not very sound. 1455 01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:17,320 Speaker 1: So if you're looking for the Chiefs to finally hit 1456 01:07:17,360 --> 01:07:19,800 Speaker 1: some big plays, this is a defense to do it against. 1457 01:07:19,840 --> 01:07:22,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the thing that's disappointed for me. You know, 1458 01:07:22,240 --> 01:07:24,520 Speaker 3: I think Baker in that offense is fine. They've had 1459 01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:26,160 Speaker 3: a good offensive line, they can mix it up. They 1460 01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:29,480 Speaker 3: got running backs, you can catch it. But here's the question. 1461 01:07:30,320 --> 01:07:32,760 Speaker 3: When does Kansas City lose? I mean, they're not gonna 1462 01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:36,120 Speaker 3: They're not gonna go unbeaten. Is it Monday night Tampa? 1463 01:07:36,240 --> 01:07:38,960 Speaker 3: Is it next week against a Broncos team that's no 1464 01:07:39,240 --> 01:07:42,080 Speaker 3: pretty good? Is it at Buffalo? And then they got Carolina, 1465 01:07:42,200 --> 01:07:45,680 Speaker 3: Las Vegas, the Chargers, Cleveland, Houston? I mean, at some 1466 01:07:45,760 --> 01:07:48,640 Speaker 3: point they are going to lose. Is is this the 1467 01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:50,600 Speaker 3: game that's kind of the law of averages? Here? 1468 01:07:50,920 --> 01:07:54,680 Speaker 2: At Buffalo is their hardest game left on the schedule. 1469 01:07:54,760 --> 01:07:56,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, And at Pittsburgh at the end of the season. 1470 01:07:57,120 --> 01:07:58,640 Speaker 1: You know, you got in at Pittsburgh, you got a 1471 01:07:58,640 --> 01:08:01,880 Speaker 1: home for Christmas. Houston, you know, a lot of them 1472 01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:03,680 Speaker 1: aren't layups. They'll they'll find a way to lose. I 1473 01:08:03,720 --> 01:08:05,720 Speaker 1: would I guess I would go at Buffalo would be 1474 01:08:05,760 --> 01:08:08,640 Speaker 1: the first one. But in a one game sample, you 1475 01:08:08,680 --> 01:08:10,640 Speaker 1: never feel good picking against the Chiefs. At this point 1476 01:08:10,680 --> 01:08:13,680 Speaker 1: with me, this defense is playing situationally. They're so good 1477 01:08:13,720 --> 01:08:15,600 Speaker 1: in the red zone. They're just they're good at everything. 1478 01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:20,400 Speaker 3: And there's when added pieces, you know, getting d hop offensively, 1479 01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:23,720 Speaker 3: I mean they just didn't they just the pieces on 1480 01:08:23,800 --> 01:08:26,000 Speaker 3: both day and they get Josh, yeah, they got ouch. 1481 01:08:26,240 --> 01:08:26,840 Speaker 3: And it's like. 1482 01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:28,880 Speaker 4: You you hope for if you're a fan of an 1483 01:08:28,920 --> 01:08:32,120 Speaker 4: AFC contender and you're watching the Super Bowl champs who 1484 01:08:32,160 --> 01:08:36,160 Speaker 4: are undefeated, go and add pieces, you start to wonder, hey, 1485 01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:37,559 Speaker 4: where's everybody else? 1486 01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:39,000 Speaker 3: Why don't we make us move? 1487 01:08:39,040 --> 01:08:40,840 Speaker 1: I've seen enough of these Bucks games now that this 1488 01:08:40,960 --> 01:08:46,280 Speaker 1: is the game that Mahomes really gets it rolling, that 1489 01:08:46,640 --> 01:08:50,439 Speaker 1: Hopkins goes for eighty seven yards and two touchdowns, the 1490 01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:53,719 Speaker 1: running game gets going. I have no faith in these 1491 01:08:53,960 --> 01:08:56,160 Speaker 1: Bucks linebackers. I hate to throw them anti David in 1492 01:08:56,160 --> 01:08:58,080 Speaker 1: that mix, but just they're they're making plays over the 1493 01:08:58,080 --> 01:09:01,040 Speaker 1: middle of the field and it's a game where afterwards 1494 01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:03,120 Speaker 1: everyone's just like no one's gonna. 1495 01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:03,719 Speaker 2: Beat the Chiefs. 1496 01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:06,760 Speaker 1: We were all wrong in September, because they're going to 1497 01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:08,760 Speaker 1: put up a forty spot and it'll feel like the 1498 01:09:08,800 --> 01:09:09,960 Speaker 1: old Chiefs are back. 1499 01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:11,519 Speaker 2: And they pretty much are. 1500 01:09:11,600 --> 01:09:14,080 Speaker 1: I mean in DVOA, they're they're fourth in the year now, 1501 01:09:14,160 --> 01:09:17,439 Speaker 1: even including that September where the team didn't look as great, 1502 01:09:17,479 --> 01:09:20,120 Speaker 1: they're playing like one of the best teams obviously in 1503 01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:20,439 Speaker 1: the In the. 1504 01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:23,280 Speaker 3: He's got a Homes Patrick saying like he's gonna be 1505 01:09:23,360 --> 01:09:25,080 Speaker 3: kirk O change because you don't know how kirk Oh 1506 01:09:25,600 --> 01:09:26,320 Speaker 3: tears up the bus. 1507 01:09:26,400 --> 01:09:28,639 Speaker 2: That's what I mean. They'll watch that tape. He'll figure 1508 01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:28,920 Speaker 2: it out. 1509 01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:33,320 Speaker 1: Andy Reidal, Yeah, he'll throw in something. He'll he'll actually 1510 01:09:33,360 --> 01:09:36,479 Speaker 1: tell Mahomes you can't move, you can't leave the pocket 1511 01:09:36,680 --> 01:09:37,479 Speaker 1: like Kirko chains. 1512 01:09:37,479 --> 01:09:38,439 Speaker 2: You gotta just copy him. 1513 01:09:38,840 --> 01:09:41,880 Speaker 3: Just be a total statue, stay back there, do everything 1514 01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:47,479 Speaker 3: like kirk including cringe pre and postgame hype commerce. You 1515 01:09:47,560 --> 01:09:49,719 Speaker 3: know what, the trap the trap stop. Oh my gosh, 1516 01:09:49,920 --> 01:09:50,920 Speaker 3: second hand embarrassment. 1517 01:09:51,080 --> 01:09:54,400 Speaker 4: I don't know if it's clinically diagnosed, but I literally 1518 01:09:55,360 --> 01:09:59,920 Speaker 4: cannot I run away from the TV because it's been 1519 01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:02,200 Speaker 4: much for me. The weird thing about this Bulls defense 1520 01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:07,360 Speaker 4: pressure was in terms of numbers of pressure, one of 1521 01:10:07,400 --> 01:10:09,679 Speaker 4: the best teams in the league per next stats. 1522 01:10:10,760 --> 01:10:12,439 Speaker 2: Get better be what he blitz every other day. 1523 01:10:13,040 --> 01:10:17,120 Speaker 4: The pressure percentage right there next to the Steelers at 1524 01:10:17,600 --> 01:10:20,640 Speaker 4: thirty three and a half percent. They just you know, 1525 01:10:20,800 --> 01:10:22,960 Speaker 4: Antoine Winfield Junior, one of the best players in the 1526 01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:25,639 Speaker 4: secondary as well, just just not getting it done. 1527 01:10:25,840 --> 01:10:28,599 Speaker 3: I just I just can't get Kirk Cousins going down 1528 01:10:28,640 --> 01:10:30,519 Speaker 3: to Bankhead go into a trap house out of my 1529 01:10:30,560 --> 01:10:31,160 Speaker 3: head right now. 1530 01:10:31,320 --> 01:10:33,880 Speaker 1: Although I know we've talked a lot about the Falcons 1531 01:10:34,400 --> 01:10:39,360 Speaker 1: and the Bucks during this but you see those outcast Falcons. 1532 01:10:39,439 --> 01:10:40,840 Speaker 3: Spectacular, pretty sweet. Nice. 1533 01:10:41,439 --> 01:10:42,960 Speaker 1: I'm thinking of getting one, But I'm like, do I 1534 01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:44,360 Speaker 1: really want to wear a Falcon sweaterer? 1535 01:10:44,479 --> 01:10:47,560 Speaker 3: But maybe we get there's one his outcast on it. 1536 01:10:47,800 --> 01:10:49,240 Speaker 2: I can't believe I'm as cool as you. I mean, 1537 01:10:49,280 --> 01:10:52,679 Speaker 2: it says outcast but also says Falcons breakdown. 1538 01:10:53,600 --> 01:10:57,680 Speaker 3: That's a sweatshirt that you gotta get. Shout out to 1539 01:10:57,760 --> 01:10:59,920 Speaker 3: Baldy all right. In the game with the highest spread 1540 01:11:00,120 --> 01:11:01,519 Speaker 3: of the week, I don't know if it should. I 1541 01:11:01,600 --> 01:11:04,240 Speaker 3: think the game we discuss should probably have the highest 1542 01:11:04,240 --> 01:11:06,479 Speaker 3: spread of the week. But the one of the number 1543 01:11:06,560 --> 01:11:09,639 Speaker 3: one total passing defenses in the NFL. The Denver Broncos 1544 01:11:09,760 --> 01:11:12,160 Speaker 3: going on the road at the Baltimore Ravens, who are 1545 01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:16,000 Speaker 3: a nine point favorite. The over under forty five and 1546 01:11:16,120 --> 01:11:19,000 Speaker 3: a half points. Nance Romo and Tracy on the call 1547 01:11:19,120 --> 01:11:22,920 Speaker 3: for CBS. Steve not nine points. Steve White should be 1548 01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:26,160 Speaker 3: their pre game four NFL network. But there, well, I'm 1549 01:11:26,240 --> 01:11:29,719 Speaker 3: headed to bald I don't get this nine points. Last 1550 01:11:29,760 --> 01:11:35,320 Speaker 3: I checked, Baltimore's defense still giving up passing touchdowns and 1551 01:11:35,439 --> 01:11:38,800 Speaker 3: Denver's defense is really good. Okay, Now, granted they got 1552 01:11:38,880 --> 01:11:41,720 Speaker 3: fat off of some teams that are not good offensively, 1553 01:11:42,800 --> 01:11:46,200 Speaker 3: but those three guys up front, right, they're dn They 1554 01:11:46,240 --> 01:11:49,599 Speaker 3: played at thirty at thirty four kind of thirty five front. 1555 01:11:49,640 --> 01:11:52,080 Speaker 3: Those three guys up front are doing work. Okay, Now, 1556 01:11:52,120 --> 01:11:54,439 Speaker 3: they're going up a good offense against a good offensive line. 1557 01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:56,760 Speaker 3: But the one thing they do they blitz like we 1558 01:11:56,840 --> 01:11:59,000 Speaker 3: talked about Todd Bowles blitz and they blitzed like crazy. 1559 01:11:59,160 --> 01:12:02,000 Speaker 3: They can't do that game. They cannot. They've got a 1560 01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:05,680 Speaker 3: break character because if they blitz Derrek Henry gets by you, 1561 01:12:05,920 --> 01:12:08,920 Speaker 3: Lamar gets by you, the math is bad. They're gone 1562 01:12:09,200 --> 01:12:13,439 Speaker 3: now Patrick's are ten best corner in the NFL, best 1563 01:12:13,479 --> 01:12:15,920 Speaker 3: corner in the NFL. Like, Okay, there's nobody who's gonna 1564 01:12:15,920 --> 01:12:19,320 Speaker 3: go out there Deontay Johnson's a Flowers and tear him up. Okay, 1565 01:12:19,400 --> 01:12:21,160 Speaker 3: so this is ten on ten, but it is a 1566 01:12:21,320 --> 01:12:24,519 Speaker 3: legit ten on ten because Lamar, you know, you have 1567 01:12:24,640 --> 01:12:26,840 Speaker 3: to count him into the faction here. I think this 1568 01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:28,280 Speaker 3: is going to be I think it's going to be 1569 01:12:28,400 --> 01:12:30,559 Speaker 3: under the forty five point five and that nine point 1570 01:12:30,640 --> 01:12:34,200 Speaker 3: by Baltimore, don't I don't see it. I don't think 1571 01:12:34,240 --> 01:12:35,600 Speaker 3: this is a game where bo Nix goes in there 1572 01:12:35,640 --> 01:12:38,679 Speaker 3: and carves them up. But I think points are gonna 1573 01:12:38,680 --> 01:12:40,479 Speaker 3: be much harder to come by than at four and 1574 01:12:40,640 --> 01:12:41,679 Speaker 3: forty five and a half number. 1575 01:12:41,800 --> 01:12:44,840 Speaker 1: So this is the Ravens defense panic week because of 1576 01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:47,760 Speaker 1: all the numbers of the plus twenty plays that they 1577 01:12:47,840 --> 01:12:50,880 Speaker 1: do know most in the NFL, and it's almost it's 1578 01:12:51,040 --> 01:12:53,760 Speaker 1: forty plus twenty plays. Thirty nine of them are their 1579 01:12:53,760 --> 01:12:55,360 Speaker 1: past defense. So it's not their run and it's in 1580 01:12:55,360 --> 01:12:57,559 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. In the fourth quarter they could get 1581 01:12:57,720 --> 01:13:00,240 Speaker 1: Now you're going up against bon Nicks, who last week 1582 01:13:00,320 --> 01:13:02,200 Speaker 1: for the first time, really pushed the ball down the 1583 01:13:02,240 --> 01:13:05,880 Speaker 1: field consistently eight for sixteen on plus ten throws over 1584 01:13:05,960 --> 01:13:08,240 Speaker 1: ten air yards for one hundred and eighty yards. Now, 1585 01:13:09,160 --> 01:13:11,240 Speaker 1: he had all day back there again, and he was 1586 01:13:11,280 --> 01:13:14,439 Speaker 1: playing against the Panthers, but he had some really nice throws, 1587 01:13:14,720 --> 01:13:17,200 Speaker 1: and he's going to have to be even better because 1588 01:13:17,200 --> 01:13:18,720 Speaker 1: you're just not going to be able to run the 1589 01:13:18,800 --> 01:13:22,479 Speaker 1: ball against this Ravens team. I still I think the 1590 01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:25,720 Speaker 1: Ravens are a great team, and I know they're incomplete 1591 01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:31,400 Speaker 1: right now, but I think great teams respond from embarrassing performances, 1592 01:13:31,640 --> 01:13:34,320 Speaker 1: and I think bow Knicks in this spot is not 1593 01:13:34,439 --> 01:13:36,599 Speaker 1: going to be good enough to keep up in a shootout. So, yeah, 1594 01:13:36,800 --> 01:13:39,080 Speaker 1: he might hit you for some big plays, but I 1595 01:13:39,120 --> 01:13:41,960 Speaker 1: don't believe in the Broncos defense enough to shut him down. 1596 01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:44,720 Speaker 2: I think it's more like thirty to sixteen something like that. 1597 01:13:45,240 --> 01:13:45,439 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1598 01:13:45,560 --> 01:13:48,519 Speaker 4: The spot where the Ravens do excel is preventing the 1599 01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:51,480 Speaker 4: quarterback run. And bo Knicks was one of the top scramblers. 1600 01:13:51,479 --> 01:13:54,720 Speaker 4: Like we talked about Lamar scrambling and Josh Allen, bo 1601 01:13:54,840 --> 01:13:57,519 Speaker 4: Knicks far and away the leader in the league in 1602 01:13:57,560 --> 01:14:01,080 Speaker 4: scrambles from the quarterback position. And I think that the 1603 01:14:01,200 --> 01:14:05,200 Speaker 4: Ravens specifically right with this pre game last week practice 1604 01:14:05,240 --> 01:14:09,120 Speaker 4: situation with Marcus Williams where he ultimately winds up essentially 1605 01:14:09,240 --> 01:14:12,360 Speaker 4: not playing in the game. Eddie Jackson comes in, has 1606 01:14:12,439 --> 01:14:15,599 Speaker 4: a dropped interception, blows the coverage on the game winning 1607 01:14:15,640 --> 01:14:18,280 Speaker 4: touchdown to Cedric Tillman. I think it's an opportunity for 1608 01:14:18,479 --> 01:14:22,000 Speaker 4: both Marcus and the coaching staff to realize where things 1609 01:14:22,040 --> 01:14:24,920 Speaker 4: went wrong, because the team is better when Markus Williams 1610 01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:25,599 Speaker 4: is on the field. 1611 01:14:25,920 --> 01:14:28,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, man, they I mean when the last time we 1612 01:14:28,720 --> 01:14:32,200 Speaker 3: talked about Coyle Hamilton, a great player, like the you know, 1613 01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:34,599 Speaker 3: just just talking to people, They're like, these guys are 1614 01:14:34,640 --> 01:14:36,960 Speaker 3: not nearly as aggressive defensively as they have been in 1615 01:14:37,080 --> 01:14:39,519 Speaker 3: use up front, there a defensive line, you know, van 1616 01:14:39,560 --> 01:14:41,200 Speaker 3: Oy and Mattapek and these guys. 1617 01:14:41,479 --> 01:14:45,720 Speaker 1: Even hasn't had great production. Smith has not been as 1618 01:14:45,760 --> 01:14:46,599 Speaker 1: big a different figure. 1619 01:14:46,600 --> 01:14:48,320 Speaker 3: I think him and Trent Simpson has not been what 1620 01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:49,200 Speaker 3: we thought they were gonna do. 1621 01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:52,760 Speaker 1: I think you have to point towards the change in 1622 01:14:52,800 --> 01:14:55,040 Speaker 1: the coaching staff was the fact that they brought in 1623 01:14:55,160 --> 01:14:58,000 Speaker 1: Dean Ps, their old friend, five weeks in. That was 1624 01:14:58,040 --> 01:15:01,640 Speaker 1: probably a red flag that, like the communication issues that 1625 01:15:01,720 --> 01:15:04,479 Speaker 1: you can see just as a fan, something's not right, 1626 01:15:04,640 --> 01:15:06,800 Speaker 1: and you're going up against a good coach offensively and 1627 01:15:06,840 --> 01:15:10,080 Speaker 1: Sean Payton and Boix's getting better. So I'm not ruling 1628 01:15:10,120 --> 01:15:13,160 Speaker 1: this out from being close like mid third quarter and 1629 01:15:13,280 --> 01:15:16,480 Speaker 1: making the people sweat over those nine points. But ultimately 1630 01:15:17,720 --> 01:15:22,000 Speaker 1: we're talking about Lamar Jackson versus bo Nick mind Avery Ravens. 1631 01:15:22,120 --> 01:15:23,760 Speaker 3: You can see every game, every one of their games 1632 01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:25,880 Speaker 3: is like a two point game. One way of those 1633 01:15:25,920 --> 01:15:27,559 Speaker 3: is like a two point game. Last year when they won, 1634 01:15:27,600 --> 01:15:29,880 Speaker 3: they won by like fifteen points, like they were stomping people. 1635 01:15:30,040 --> 01:15:32,920 Speaker 1: So the Broncos, you mentioned the defense, the easy schedule 1636 01:15:32,920 --> 01:15:36,640 Speaker 1: they've played the twenty seventh schedule in terms of the 1637 01:15:36,680 --> 01:15:39,320 Speaker 1: hardest offense, is that they face. They faced the Jets, 1638 01:15:39,680 --> 01:15:42,800 Speaker 1: they faced Minshew, they faced Rattler, they faced Bryce Young 1639 01:15:42,920 --> 01:15:43,360 Speaker 1: last week. 1640 01:15:43,479 --> 01:15:45,640 Speaker 2: So this is I think an interesting test for him. 1641 01:15:45,640 --> 01:15:47,280 Speaker 1: I'm not saying they can't like you're giving me this like, 1642 01:15:47,439 --> 01:15:49,280 Speaker 1: I'm not saying they can't pass it and that they 1643 01:15:49,320 --> 01:15:52,000 Speaker 1: can't get some pressure on Lamar because last week, frankly, 1644 01:15:52,040 --> 01:15:53,599 Speaker 1: the Brown's got a lot of pressure on Lamar. 1645 01:15:53,720 --> 01:15:55,880 Speaker 2: So maybe they can double it up and do even better. 1646 01:15:55,960 --> 01:15:57,800 Speaker 1: But show me something they got to kind of prove 1647 01:15:57,840 --> 01:15:59,800 Speaker 1: it in a game with yeah me to really believe. 1648 01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:02,160 Speaker 3: Are you putting the twenty twenty four Denver Broncos defense 1649 01:16:02,200 --> 01:16:02,920 Speaker 3: on fraud Watch. 1650 01:16:02,840 --> 01:16:05,680 Speaker 1: Greg, No, But I just think they're a function of 1651 01:16:05,680 --> 01:16:07,280 Speaker 1: their schedule. I think they're going to be good. But 1652 01:16:07,760 --> 01:16:10,400 Speaker 1: to be a great defense in it in today's NFL, 1653 01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:13,240 Speaker 1: you got to be able to slow down great offenses. 1654 01:16:13,280 --> 01:16:14,720 Speaker 2: So they do it this week. I'll give him some. 1655 01:16:14,920 --> 01:16:17,120 Speaker 3: They got two good corners. They got two good corners too. 1656 01:16:17,400 --> 01:16:19,080 Speaker 3: The guy opposite of Certain's really. 1657 01:16:18,960 --> 01:16:21,400 Speaker 2: Good leath the weapon, Riley Moss Patrick. 1658 01:16:22,520 --> 01:16:25,439 Speaker 4: Riley Moss kind of silently got done up last week 1659 01:16:26,479 --> 01:16:29,280 Speaker 4: by Jalen Cocher though, And it's been a it's been 1660 01:16:29,320 --> 01:16:31,080 Speaker 4: a great run playing on the other side of Pats 1661 01:16:31,160 --> 01:16:35,000 Speaker 4: or Tam but Coker in the in the Panthers seving 1662 01:16:35,040 --> 01:16:36,800 Speaker 4: corps made some plays against Riley last week. 1663 01:16:36,880 --> 01:16:40,080 Speaker 1: Why are you trying to rain on rain on our 1664 01:16:40,120 --> 01:16:43,400 Speaker 1: parade here? This is the first white cornerback that's been 1665 01:16:43,479 --> 01:16:46,960 Speaker 1: starting week after weeks. I lays and c Horney's representing. 1666 01:16:47,240 --> 01:16:51,000 Speaker 1: He's inspiring coaches out there to finally start giving the 1667 01:16:51,040 --> 01:16:52,920 Speaker 1: white guys a chance on the I love it. 1668 01:16:53,600 --> 01:16:55,880 Speaker 3: I love it. I want I want more because I 1669 01:16:55,960 --> 01:16:56,559 Speaker 3: think it's dumb. 1670 01:16:57,120 --> 01:16:59,920 Speaker 4: It is should you should if you could play corner, 1671 01:17:00,040 --> 01:17:01,599 Speaker 4: Blake corner, don't put it run you can run. 1672 01:17:01,720 --> 01:17:05,599 Speaker 1: Man, he's breaking boundaries. But I saw that too, Jalen Coker, 1673 01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:06,839 Speaker 1: nice little player. 1674 01:17:06,920 --> 01:17:11,000 Speaker 3: Man, Deontay Johnson, Fantasy holders, team up, get him ready. 1675 01:17:11,240 --> 01:17:12,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good call. 1676 01:17:12,479 --> 01:17:14,240 Speaker 1: But this actually would be a week I would think 1677 01:17:14,280 --> 01:17:15,960 Speaker 1: he would be a huge factor, but he just got 1678 01:17:16,040 --> 01:17:18,000 Speaker 1: there and he's taking a physical. He did miss last 1679 01:17:18,040 --> 01:17:20,000 Speaker 1: week's game. I don't know if he's really hurt. Can 1680 01:17:20,040 --> 01:17:21,680 Speaker 1: he really get up to speed that quick?
