1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: Hurts on the football in the gun again, tied in

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,279
Speaker 1: three receivers at Parkley in the backfield.

3
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 2: Atlanta gonna break forward this time, try to get their

4
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 2: hurts hit as he pros look as Bates, Yeah what

5
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:18,240
Speaker 2: thirty two seconds left, Jesse Bates comes up with the

6
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 2: interception head Atlanta in the thick of the night, has

7
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 2: stolen one on'e the Philadelphia Eagles.

8
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 3: That was West Durham of w z g C.

9
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 4: I cannot believe that the Atlanta Falcons won this game,

10
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 4: that they went up to Philadelphia.

11
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 3: In the middle of the night.

12
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 4: I'm Greg Rosenthal, this is NFL Daily. I'm with Nick Shuk.

13
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 4: I'm so happy to be with Nick Shook, and I

14
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,160
Speaker 4: cannot believe how this game ended.

15
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 3: Nick. With the Eagles.

16
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 4: Running it down, the Atlanta Falcons throats all night, having

17
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 4: the ball with one minute in forty six seconds left,

18
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 4: third down, and they call a pass to Saquon Barkley

19
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 4: and it's there. The game is gonna be over, but

20
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 4: Saquon Barkley drops it. The Eagles choose not to go

21
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 4: for it on fourth and three. The Falcons get the

22
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 4: ball back Kirk Cousins, who didn't look good all night

23
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 4: goes seventy yards in six plays.

24
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 3: He had too much time.

25
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 4: Darnell Mooney shakes Darius Slay for a big play down

26
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 4: the field. Drake London shakes Darius Slay rather for the touchdown.

27
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 4: Suddenly Jalen Hurts has the ball and the Falcons defense,

28
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 4: who didn't get any pressure all night on Jalen Hurts,

29
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 4: actually did send the blitz on that last play. It

30
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 4: was a sneaky one five man protection Caden Ellis, who

31
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 4: starts all the way over on the right tackle, loops

32
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 4: over to the left tackle and hits Jalen Hurts. As

33
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 4: it happens, game ending interception in Philadelphia, who was right

34
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 4: about ninety nine point five percent chance to win that

35
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 4: game before that third down, lose the game, and both

36
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 4: of these teams are at one in one, and yet

37
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 4: it feels to me shook like the Falcons saved their

38
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 4: season at least for now, and that they ruin your

39
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 4: NFL dot Com right up that you just finished.

40
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, Kirk Cousins discovering his old Minnesota form at the

41
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 5: perfect time to save the Falcons from an zero to

42
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 5: two start and blow up everything I'd written going down

43
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 5: the field, leading to masterful drive, after not being able

44
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 5: to throw the ball consistently all night, after struggling in

45
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 5: Week one to move the football and dealing with pressure,

46
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 5: suddenly he's back to old Kirk Cousins and he's shoving

47
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 5: a stiff arm right in the face of those old

48
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 5: primetime Kirk. You know all the dishes they used to

49
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 5: get online. He's four and one now in his last

50
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 5: five Monday Night football starts, and this one the most

51
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 5: memorable of them all. Falcons one and one, and you're right,

52
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,399
Speaker 5: they may have just saved their season with this win,

53
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 5: which they got, as you heard on the call in

54
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:57,399
Speaker 5: the thick of the night.

55
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 4: I'm just still stunned by it. It's why we love

56
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 4: the NFL. That a game that was a little sloppy,

57
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 4: a little bit of a snoozer, a strange game that

58
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 4: in the first half was driving Bill Belichick crazy on

59
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 4: the Manning Cast. Had a chance to watch that just

60
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 4: I was like, Wow, I get to watch a game

61
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 4: with Bill Belichick.

62
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 3: This is interesting.

63
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 4: And he's just annoyed at the Falcons lack of tackling

64
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 4: and both teams lack of pass rush. I can't remember

65
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 4: two offensive lines just completely dominating in pass protection and

66
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 4: in the running game for the most part, although there

67
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 4: were a lot of penalties called, especially on the Eagles,

68
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 4: and yet it wasn't really showing up on the scoreboard.

69
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 4: The quarterbacks weren't all that comfortable, and the Eagles wind

70
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 4: up getting in a commanding position after Chauncey Gardner Johnson

71
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 4: blows up a Bijon Robinson run on fourth and one

72
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 4: to get the Eagles the ball back with under five

73
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 4: minutes to go. They run all the clock down to

74
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 4: that moment that I started the show with third down,

75
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 4: and I was thinking about you when they threw this pass,

76
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 4: because you're the I'm gonna run the ball guy, and

77
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 4: this was a night where it was it was a

78
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 4: nice night for the run the ball guy type of

79
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 4: night because both these teams they got inside the ten

80
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 4: and they stopped running it, and it was just making

81
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 4: me pull my hair out. That Eagles could have scored

82
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,359
Speaker 4: a touchdown I think earlier in the game when they

83
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 4: threw it to DeVante Smith on the goal line. Jesse

84
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 4: Bates makes a great play there. What a player Jesse

85
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 4: Bates is. But they just weren't sticking with Saquon Barkley

86
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 4: when he was the man and then in this spot

87
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 4: instead of running the ball there, it would have taken

88
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 4: the clock down to about a minute. They throw it

89
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 4: to Saquon. Where you upset at the play call or

90
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 4: at the execution because I don't I don't mind the

91
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 4: play call. Saquon had four targets tonight. He caught all

92
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 4: four passes. It was right there. It was a good throw,

93
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 4: It was a good decision by Hurts. I'm sure he

94
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 4: had the option to keep it and he just drops

95
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 4: it and gives the Falcons a chance.

96
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 2: Yeah.

97
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 5: Tip of the cap to NFL Daily Zone Patrick Claybonn,

98
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 5: who tweeted three teams did that this weekend. The Browns

99
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 5: were one of them. The Eagles were another one. Look,

100
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 5: I understand getting aggressive in that situation trying to put

101
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 5: the game away, but also don't out coach yourself. And

102
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 5: it felt like at least in two of those situations

103
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 5: this week that coaches were out coaching themselves.

104
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 6: They're out smarting themselves.

105
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 5: The good thing on the Eagles side is at least

106
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 5: they rolled Jalen Hurts to his passing arm side like

107
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 5: the play was there. They just simply did not execute.

108
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 5: But again, if you think about situationally, like you just said,

109
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 5: it would have taken it about down to a minute. Well,

110
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 5: the Falcons need a minute at five to get down

111
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 5: the field with no timeouts. They have no timeouts. Run

112
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 5: the clock down as far as you can and kick

113
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 5: the field goal, make them go seventy plus yards and

114
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 5: get a touchdown with no timeouts. It's really hard to do.

115
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 5: They started that drive with a eleven yard completion to

116
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 5: Kyle Pitts over the middle of the field. You knew

117
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 5: they had to go quickly. And the next thing you know,

118
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 5: they're in the red zone and they're scoring a touchdown

119
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 5: in the blink of an eye. And it's because he

120
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 5: gave them that extra forty seconds, guys, And that's why

121
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 5: I'm against hmm.

122
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 4: Now, yeah, for argument's sake, Look, they got it done

123
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 4: with about forty seconds to go. Now they did have

124
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 4: the tie out. That's absolutely fair. But I fought the

125
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 4: last drive more on just even playing good defense all

126
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 4: night and for you to give up those sideline routes

127
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 4: is just total, you know, mismanagement of how you are

128
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 4: playing defense. As I mentioned, London shook Darius Slay on

129
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 4: the touchdown. It was a great route. There was actually

130
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 4: a great exchange caught by the cameras afterwards of Slay

131
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 4: just being like great route, dude. But to give up

132
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 4: the London play on the sideline that was Quinnon Mitchell.

133
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 4: They had a deep throw to Darnell Mooney, who had

134
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 4: an up and down night, but they had a big

135
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 4: touchdown in this game where it was just they were

136
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 4: playing too safe. And then they had the play before that,

137
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 4: another deep out to Mooney where it's Reid blank and

138
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 4: Ship pushing him out of bounds, but he's getting in

139
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 4: between the safety and the linebacker. To me, that's where

140
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 4: they really blew it. Now, I'll give you another spot though,

141
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 4: where I actually do fault them for the play calling. Now,

142
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 4: I would have liked them to run the ball on

143
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 4: the third and three because I just think they would

144
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 4: have picked it up.

145
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 3: They had been.

146
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 4: Running the ball so well on that drive and that

147
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 4: night that they think they would have gotten it. But

148
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 4: after it was fourth and three, it wouldn't have been

149
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 4: that crazy to go for it there. First of all,

150
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 4: you still just need three yards if you were if

151
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 4: you were gutsy enough to go for it before you

152
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 4: win it, you go for it again to win the game.

153
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 4: But The reason why is when you're up three, teams

154
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 4: naturally are way more conservative. They actually don't go for

155
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 4: the touchdown. Bill our friend Bill Barnwell tweeted out, the

156
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 4: worst lead in sports is up six in the NFL.

157
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 4: I swear if they were up three. First of all,

158
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 4: they would have ninety yards to go instead of seventy.

159
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 4: I'll come back to that in a second, but they

160
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 4: would have only been down three, and I don't think

161
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 4: they would have really gone for the touchdown there like

162
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 4: it to me, it's worth going for it in that spot.

163
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 4: If you're going to go for the first time, that's

164
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 4: like next level, like super analytics. Thinking that maybe the

165
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 4: Eagles weren't quite there yet.

166
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 5: Well, no, that's that What first came to mind was

167
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 5: analytics people were probably just pulling their hair out at

168
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 5: the fact that they approached it this way. But also,

169
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 5: I think in that instance, when you know, what do.

170
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 4: You mean, No, I think they wanted him to go

171
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 4: for it. You mean in terms of passing it instead of.

172
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 5: Passing on third down and then taking the field goal. Yeah,

173
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 5: in that situation, for me, if you're really trying to

174
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 5: put the game away, you treat third down and fourth

175
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 5: down as two downs to get a first down. So

176
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 5: you run the ball on third down and you're taking

177
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 5: the clock down. Let's say you get to fourth and one.

178
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 5: You have the best play known to man on fourth

179
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 5: and short, like you're setting yourself up up for a

180
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 5: better situation. I know we're talking with hindsight as privilege here,

181
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 5: but still, situationally speaking, the Eagles have become masters of

182
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 5: fumbling situations like this. This is their fourth loss since

183
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 5: the start of twenty twenty three in which they had

184
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 5: a lead inside two minutes. This is a consistent problem

185
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 5: for the Eagles. The Falcons had a zero point seven

186
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 5: percent chance of winning this game with less than two

187
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 5: minutes ago, according to the Next Gen Stats win probability model.

188
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 5: So you want some analytics there, I just dropped an

189
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 5: analytical bomb on you.

190
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 3: We eat that.

191
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 6: You have to sit with that all week.

192
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 4: Wait seven, that is just crazy. I can't believe that

193
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 4: it happened. And Kirk Cousins after the game talked to

194
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 4: Lisasalter on ESPN, and I think after the game Kirk

195
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 4: Cousins had it just meant a little more for him

196
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 4: to play that well down the stretch.

197
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 1: I still am not sharp enough. You know, I didn't

198
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 1: feel like I was sharp enough today, accurate enough. I

199
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: got to be better. But that last drive hopefully can

200
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: give us a boost going into next week. We can

201
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: build on that. You know, there's a lot of new

202
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: and it takes time. I was pleased with the way

203
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: we finished tonight, but there's still so much to be

204
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: better with.

205
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 4: It's really interesting to me because Lisa Salter set him

206
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 4: up to say, like, what a tough week you had

207
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 4: everyone questioning you. For you to come out and be

208
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 4: a different player tonight, how important is that? And he

209
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 4: was kind of like saying what we thought probably during

210
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 4: the game, which was I wasn't a different player tonight.

211
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 3: But I think he's overlooking.

212
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 4: You know, we know Kirk Cousins well enough from the

213
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,199
Speaker 4: Quarterback Series and Netflix. He's very hard on him, so

214
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 4: I think he is overlooking that he was. Kirk Cousins

215
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 4: on that drive was as clean as hell. He threw

216
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 4: to the outside, he threw with confidence. Was he had

217
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 4: one throw that was a little low, which was a

218
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 4: problem all night, but for the most part he threw

219
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 4: with confidence, and that was a badass drive.

220
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 3: You gotta give it up to yourself.

221
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 5: Kirk oh oh yeah, absolutely, And now that was the

222
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,959
Speaker 5: wonderful thing about It's funny because I actually slacked Kevin

223
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 5: Patra also of NFL Daily, as you heard him on

224
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 5: yesterday's show, and I said, oh, no, I think Kirk

225
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 5: might have twenty fifteen Peyton Manning arm because like that throw,

226
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 5: that first three he edited on the sideline was dying

227
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 5: as it got to its intended target, and then the

228
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,719
Speaker 5: next week he just rips a rocket and I went, oh, no.

229
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 6: I spoke too soon.

230
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 5: Suddenly Kirk Cousins has found himself again, and I think

231
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 5: you can kind of sense that in his response where

232
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 5: he admits, look, it's a lot of new I haven't

233
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 5: been my best. It's been a lot to process and

234
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 5: adjust too. And he's coming off the Achilles injury. He

235
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 5: knows he just hasn't been very good, but he had

236
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 5: to feel like he had a little bit of a boost.

237
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 5: I think he alluded to that when he said, hopefully

238
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 5: this can carry us into the next week because now finally,

239
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 5: in the biggest moment, he came through with what he

240
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 5: does best, which is firing the ball down the field

241
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 5: in a clutch moment, and that's really encouraging for the Falcons,

242
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 5: because look, we went into this game thinking, oh no,

243
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 5: did they make the wrong decision in free agency as

244
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 5: Kirk Cousins washed, are they going to be?

245
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 4: I mean, time will tell, but I really think this

246
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 4: is a big moment in both of these seasons. For

247
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 4: what you said about the Eagles and how last season ended,

248
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 4: it's going to test them because I haven't got the

249
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 4: feeling in either of these games as someone who who

250
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 4: definitely you know, likes picking the Eagles and whatnot that

251
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 4: they have played particularly well. But if you can win

252
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 4: while having a lot of issues like this is a

253
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 4: team that to me struck me as a little fragile

254
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 4: obviously down the stretch last year. But if you're winning

255
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 4: as you're figuring out this a total lack of pass

256
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 4: rush and then be passing game that just isn't in sync.

257
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 4: Jalen Hurts got it done tonight by just running the

258
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 4: ball when he absolutely needed to and making a few

259
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 4: high level throws like he did a week ago, but

260
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 4: on a down to down basis, the hitting the back

261
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 4: of your drop, getting rid of the ball, it's just

262
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 4: not there for him. He's having to be in create

263
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 4: mode tonight. You was better in create mode than he

264
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,439
Speaker 4: was a week ago. But that's concerning. Aj Brown missed

265
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 4: this game and is going to miss a couple of

266
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 4: weeks reportedly, and so that's a concern for them. And

267
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 4: I think this loss could potentially linger and just just

268
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 4: be a little bit of a stink on Vic Fangio

269
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,359
Speaker 4: and this offense. But to flip it to the Falcons,

270
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 4: they have Kansas City next week, then New Orleans, then

271
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 4: Tampa Bay. Now all three of those games are in Atlanta.

272
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 4: But if you were zero and two and they don't

273
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 4: ever get the ball back here and they lose this

274
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 4: game by double digits, Let's say let's say saquad goes

275
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 4: in for the touchdowns, probably wasn't gonna happen. He probably

276
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 4: gets the first down. Eagles Neil game over. You're oh

277
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 4: and two. You come back and you have the Chiefs

278
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 4: on Sunday Night Football, and then you have the league's

279
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 4: hottest team, the Saints, your biggest rival coming in the

280
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 4: next week. I mean, you're talking about like your season

281
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 4: is on the line in the next couple of weeks.

282
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 4: Not like those games are any easier now, but just

283
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 4: gives you a little bit of breathing room where you

284
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 4: look at these three games that are tough in a row,

285
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 4: and even if they don't play well and they go

286
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 4: one and two in these three games, you're still getting

287
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,959
Speaker 4: to your buy or whatever. I like, I think you're

288
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 4: getting to the Carolina game. I call that a buy

289
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 4: now at two and three, and like, you're still alive.

290
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 4: And if you look at their schedule, their second half

291
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 4: of their schedule on paper looks extremely easy. So they

292
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 4: just need to survive early. What a moment for this team.

293
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 5: Well, here's the thing that we often overlook in this

294
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 5: results based business that is the NFL. We forget about

295
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 5: the human element of this game way too often. And

296
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 5: the Falcons set themselves up in the offseason with the

297
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 5: way that they went and signed Kirk Cousins and drafted

298
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 5: Michael Pennix for a potential disaster scenario that's very emotionally driven.

299
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,079
Speaker 5: If they go through that three game stretch, they enter

300
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 5: at oh to two and say they lose all three

301
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 5: and they're zero to five, Suddenly people are calling for

302
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 5: Michael Pennox, Suddenly they're questioning everything about what they thought

303
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 5: about the Falcons going to this highly anticipated season, and

304
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 5: that throws everything right off the tracks. That's why I

305
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 5: think Kirk talk to it about it in the post game,

306
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 5: where that little boost, like this is an example where look,

307
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 5: you can go to that locker room now and there's

308
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 5: video of them after this game celebrating with Raheem Morris's

309
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 5: first win.

310
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 3: Crazy.

311
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 5: It's everything else, but like that's the jolt that you

312
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 5: can get that because it's such a long season being

313
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 5: in a facility like I was with the Browns week

314
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 5: to week when you're struggling, you can feel it. You

315
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 5: can be on the opposite side of the building and

316
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 5: you can feel the tension and the stress and the pressure,

317
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 5: all of that combines and just it's pervasive throughout the

318
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 5: entire building. Getting this win eases all of that and

319
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 5: makes the next few games that are going to be

320
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 5: difficult games a lot easier to prepare for, not in

321
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 5: terms of workload but mentally. So I think it's massive

322
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 5: for them over that stretch, way more than just one

323
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 5: game's result.

324
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 4: I love that because I think Raheem Morris is a

325
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 4: guy who is going to get buy in from his players,

326
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 4: but they needed a reason on the field to believe,

327
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 4: and when you look at their faces, looking at Raheem

328
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 4: Morris and celebrating like they won the Super Bowl in

329
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 4: that locker room and everyone there, especially I'm looking at

330
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 4: Jesse Bates and some of the veteran leaders and evens

331
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 4: are so locked into what he is saying, and they

332
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 4: stepped up in the biggest moments. I do think that

333
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 4: is going to be huge and carry over because of

334
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 4: how many different players ended up stepping up for them.

335
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 4: The defense wasn't great in this game. I do think

336
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 4: they're gonna have an issue in terms of their run

337
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 4: defense and not getting enough pass rush. But they made

338
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 4: plays in the red zone a couple times. They got

339
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 4: a little lucky at the end, and yes, Kirk Cousins

340
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 4: did save him. Let's listen to the go ahead touchdown

341
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 4: throw by Kirk Cousins. This is on third down, so

342
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 4: you know it was getting a little dicey inside the ten.

343
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 4: The Falcons trying to take an improbable lead late at

344
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 4: the link.

345
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 7: Cousins in the gun, three receivers right the shotgun, snap

346
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 7: the center block, the line, right throw, far side cut, touchdown,

347
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 7: hit the pylon, London caught in chess pie touchdown LATA.

348
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 7: Thirty four seconds to go. They've tied the game a

349
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 7: seven yard Cousins touchdown pass.

350
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 6: Holy smokes.

351
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 3: I love Kevin Harlan.

352
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 4: That's Eric Roberts, our great producer behind the glass looking

353
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 4: through all the different calls. Is the ESPN, is it Local?

354
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 4: Is it Westwood One? And Kevin Harlan that has the

355
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 4: best one and finding it. Holy smokes, Kevin Harlan. I

356
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 4: love that. And when you watch the highlights, you see

357
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 4: a couple Eagle staffers, I'm not sure what their role

358
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 4: is with the team, just getting upset in the moment.

359
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 4: I like showing more emotion than they're supposed to in

360
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 4: that moment on the sideline. And yeah, you mentioned that

361
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 4: the building having bad vibes like that Eagles building had

362
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 4: the worst vibes in the league last year. And this

363
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 4: is going to feel a little too familiar. I do

364
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 4: want to point out right after that touchdown, Drake London

365
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 4: gets a celebration.

366
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 3: Penalties.

367
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 4: There was a couple of them tonight in big spots

368
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 4: and it forced Young way Coup, one of the most

369
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 4: accurate kickers in NFL history, to hit a forty eight

370
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 4: yard extra point and he piped it like Young Wayku

371
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 4: tends to do.

372
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 3: So.

373
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 4: Some props to Young Wayku some props to Bijon Robinson,

374
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 4: who goes fourteen for ninety seven on the ground four

375
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 4: for twenty five, very similar numbers nick to Saquon Barkley,

376
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 4: although he did it in less carries and as much

377
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 4: as I love Saquon and think he looks maybe better

378
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 4: than he's ever looked, and he's gonna wear the goat

379
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 4: horns a little bit tonight. You look at Bijon and

380
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 4: you look at Saquon and you almost see, oh, there's

381
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 4: a guy in the second year in the league, and

382
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 4: there's a guy in the six or seven because Taquon

383
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 4: is as explosive as he's been in two or three years.

384
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 4: But my god, Bajon Robinson when he makes cuts going forward,

385
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 4: there just haven't been that many running backs that I've

386
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 4: ever seen like that. And he's at that young, just fresh,

387
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 4: absolutely peaking part of his career.

388
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, he's just getting started. He gave Quinnon Mitchell

389
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 5: his Welcome to the NFL MoMA night cut the whole.

390
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 5: Here's your jockstrap. I don't know if they still wear those, guy,

391
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 5: I think they've advanced in terms of clothing. But here

392
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 5: you go, hand it back to you because I just

393
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 5: pulled it right off you with that move. It's really

394
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 5: fun to watch him play because he came into the

395
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 5: league with a lot of expectation. He was clearly the

396
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 5: best running back in that class, and all the fantasy

397
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:16,919
Speaker 5: owners wanted to pop off last year, and he had

398
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 5: a good rookie year, but he didn't have the great year. Well,

399
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 5: that doesn't matter to me, because this guy is a

400
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 5: stud and he's capable of carrying an offense on the

401
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 5: ground when the passing game isn't working.

402
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 6: That's what made the fun.

403
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 5: That's what made that last drive just so fascinating to

404
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 5: me because they get the ball back with no time

405
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 5: and i know he's talked about already, but I'm thinking

406
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 5: they haven't thrown the ball well all night, Like they've

407
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 5: been pounding the run, and suddenly they just start ripping

408
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 5: it down the field and I'm like, oh, wait, they

409
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 5: can do this too. They don't just have to lean

410
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,360
Speaker 5: on him. If they can actually do that consistently, then

411
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 5: this team could reach, you know, the potential that we

412
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 5: all set out for them at the beginning of the year.

413
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, they just need Kirk Cousins to be solid, and

414
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 4: he was in the second half of this.

415
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 5: It starts with him. It starts that's how it was

416
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,439
Speaker 5: in Minnesota. Is it's out of the play action, it's

417
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 5: out of the run game. So if he can do

418
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 5: that consistently, then you know we're looking at a pretty

419
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 5: good situation.

420
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 4: So he goes thirteen for sixteen for one hundred in

421
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 4: sixty six yards and the two touchdowns in the second

422
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 4: half after a pretty lackluster first half, and I would

423
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 4: say the numbers flatter him. He wasn't as good as

424
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 4: the numbers indicate, but they did do play action tonight.

425
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 4: He finishes five to eight for fifty two yards, so

426
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 4: solid enough. There were more plays from under center there.

427
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 4: He didn't move a ton, and like you said, he

428
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 4: didn't step into his throat. The ball did not look

429
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 4: great coming out of his hand a lot, so there

430
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 4: were some concerns, but I thought it got better as

431
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 4: the game war on. I do want to point out,

432
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 4: just to put in context, when they didn't run the

433
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 4: ball on third down, kind of what kind of game.

434
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 3: This was for the Eagles.

435
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 4: The Eagles were trailing as the fourth quarter was starting,

436
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,880
Speaker 4: and they were at the time in the midst of

437
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 4: a seventeen play nine minute thirty four second drive that

438
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 4: finished with the tush push, and it was a lot

439
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 4: of Saquon. Saquon was fantastic until that drop. Twenty two

440
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 4: for ninety five on the ground, also had four catches

441
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 4: and had about fifty yards called back from penalties for

442
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 4: holding calls which always seemed to be away from the play.

443
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 4: And yes, I might have been a little locked into

444
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 4: his yardage because I needed one hundred yards out of

445
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 4: him to win my fantasy tonight, and he got it

446
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 4: in the end, So thank you for that, at least

447
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 4: sa Quin. But he was running fantastic, and they've got

448
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 4: the toush push going a couple times, and yet when

449
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 4: they went inside the ten yard line like they tended

450
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 4: to pass in the passing game was erratic, and so

451
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 4: I think that's why at the end it hurts you

452
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 4: kind of went away from what you were doing really

453
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 4: well in this game.

454
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's a frustration that I experienced a lot

455
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 5: of coaches around the NFL is when they get in

456
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 5: the red zone, suddenly they get cued and they try

457
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,199
Speaker 5: to throw the football. You've seen the goal line fades,

458
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 5: you know that type of thing. It feels like a

459
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 5: wasted down to me. Unless you have like a Mike

460
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 5: Evans going up there for it. But it is what

461
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 5: it is in the NFL's copycat league. Everybody does that now.

462
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 5: But when you know, you have to figure out what

463
00:20:58,119 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 5: your bread and butter is. And I think the Eagles

464
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 5: are still trying to figure out what their offense necessarily is.

465
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 5: You know, you have Kellen Moore come in and he

466
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 5: introduces all this priest neet motion and that's the talk

467
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,239
Speaker 5: of the town because it's an easy talking point going

468
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,719
Speaker 5: into the week. But like, eventually they should settle in

469
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 5: as long as they can get out of their own

470
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 5: way because like nine penalties committed, three legal man downfields,

471
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,199
Speaker 5: Like we gotta work on if you're gonna run our

472
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 5: po and you're gonna run tempo and everything else, you

473
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,439
Speaker 5: gotta be able to stay a little more disciplined in

474
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 5: that game in order to preserve those positive gains.

475
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:23,880
Speaker 6: Now, I will say one more thing.

476
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 5: The statistically doesn't show up no aj Brown as you

477
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 5: mentioned before, and we get an early catch out of

478
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 5: Jahan Dotson right and on the broadcast are like he's

479
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 5: gonna be an important receiver number two tonight.

480
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 6: That was his only catch for six yards.

481
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 5: I want to tip a cap tire to Brittin Covey,

482
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 5: who was drafted as a returner. Six catches for twenty

483
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 5: three yards is not a lot, but some of them

484
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 5: came in some kind of clutch spots at least kept

485
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 5: the offense going forward. That's not a guy I thought

486
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,639
Speaker 5: was gonna factor into this game statistically didn't show up,

487
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 5: Like I said, really that significantly, but sometimes you need

488
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 5: all hands on deck, and it was kind of impressive

489
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 5: to see them figure it out even though they lost.

490
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna take the negative route that, yes, he

491
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:06,479
Speaker 4: could be.

492
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 6: A role players, not going to be a consistent guy.

493
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 4: But this is no I think he can be even

494
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 4: consistent in the role that he was, But the fact

495
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 4: that Dallas Goddter has a quiet night three for thirty

496
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 4: eight dots and doesn't look ready to do much of anything.

497
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,919
Speaker 4: The whole offense is DeVonta Smith, who goes seven for

498
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 4: seventy six, has catches a nice touchdown on a really

499
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 4: nice throw by Hurts, Like I said, like Hurts had

500
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 4: a couple of really high level throws, but it just

501
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 4: was a little erratic. It's just all on DeVonta Smith,

502
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 4: Saquon and Hurts right now, and Hurts put them on

503
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 4: his back. He went thirteen for eighty five and a

504
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 4: touchdown on the ground, And like there was chunks of

505
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:44,439
Speaker 4: this game where it felt like the only thing they

506
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 4: could do is have him go back, have all the

507
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 4: time in the world, not find any receivers and then

508
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 4: just run for or make a play. But that's a

509
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 4: tough way to live, especially against good defenses, and I

510
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 4: don't think the Falcons are going to be a good defense.

511
00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 4: Fourth down decisions, I'll just wrap with this. We're also

512
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 4: huge in this game. The Eagles go for one inside

513
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 4: the ten yard line early in the game. They don't

514
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 4: get it, but they do go for two other fourth

515
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 4: downs they do get it, And I just want to

516
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 4: point this out. Fourth down on the Falcons. I think

517
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,479
Speaker 4: it was like the forty eight or so yard line

518
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 4: in the third quarter, trailing by one. So they're in

519
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 4: their own territory and the Falcons are trailing and they

520
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 4: go for it, and that is a play.

521
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 3: If they didn't get it.

522
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 4: I believe it was a fourth and four for the

523
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 4: Falcons that if they didn't get it, everyone would be

524
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 4: killing Raheem Morris and the analytics and why are you

525
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 4: throwing the ball on fourth down when you know you

526
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 4: haven't been playing that well, Like, just punt the ball

527
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 4: and play defense, and you know what, Kerko backs up,

528
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 4: gets good protection like he has all night, hits an

529
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 4: easy pass over the middle for the first down, and

530
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 4: they score a touchdown along one to Mooney like three

531
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 4: plays later. And that's one where the Atlanta Falcons showed

532
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 4: a lot of faith in Kirk. They stayed aggressive on offense,

533
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 4: and that was a big moment I thought in this scheme.

534
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,360
Speaker 4: I thought that was a good sense of the game

535
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 4: by the Falcons because I think if they had kept

536
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 4: giving it up, they were going to keep giving up

537
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 4: seventeen play drives. Raheem Morris kind of knew the score

538
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 4: there they needed to score. And again that's one where

539
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,479
Speaker 4: the anti you know, fourth down folks would be honking

540
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 4: about it if they didn't get it, and they did get.

541
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 5: It, Yeah, they can stay quiet because look, this is

542
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 5: also a team with the new offensive coordinator. I just

543
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 5: talked about Kellen Moore with the Eagles, but the same

544
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 5: situation with the Falcons. They're still adjusting to who they

545
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 5: have with a new quarterback as well, So that's a

546
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 5: key moment where you build a little bit of confidence

547
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 5: and trust between play caller and quarterback and he delivers

548
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 5: and that's going to go a long way over the

549
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 5: course of the season.

550
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 4: It was a fourth and four on the forty seven.

551
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 4: All right, I think we've hit this Eagles Falcons game enough.

552
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 4: It was a lot of fun. It was not a

553
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 4: lot of fun for Nick Sirianni. As we go to break,

554
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 4: why don't we listen to a little of what Nick

555
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 4: Sirianni said after.

556
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 8: The again, in that scenario, I was thinking they might

557
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 8: not have any timeouts there, but the obviously they did

558
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:07,199
Speaker 8: with with the uh with the incomplete pass, you know,

559
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 8: that would have that would have came down to maybe

560
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,959
Speaker 8: a minute, and so we wanted to go up six points,

561
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 8: you know, and it didn't work. So, you know, my

562
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 8: the decision to pass it there again, like I said,

563
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 8: you know what, they were junking it up inside with

564
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 8: it being fourth and three to go for it. I thought,

565
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 8: you know, with them not having any timeouts, I wanted

566
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 8: to be down a touchdown and and see if they

567
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 8: could drive the field. And they did. That's off to them.

568
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 3: Mm hmmm mmm.

569
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 4: So I guess someone did ask about not going for

570
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 4: it on fourth down.

571
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 3: He was down. Saquon Barkley was was wearing it too.

572
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 4: Said he he let the team down, and so the Eagles,

573
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 4: uh will have to bounce back in week three. We'll

574
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:51,239
Speaker 4: bounce back after the break. We're gonna break down what

575
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 4: we wish we said on Sunday Night's free gap, but

576
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,360
Speaker 4: though we said a lot, we're gonna have a lot

577
00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 4: of news. Man, it was a Newsy injury filled we too.

578
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 4: And then we'll wrap up with our players of the

579
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 4: week right after this back on NFL Daily and yeah, Nick,

580
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,199
Speaker 4: we got a lot of news to get to. But

581
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 4: before we do that, every Monday Night, we spend exactly

582
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 4: two minutes saying all the little nuggets that we wish

583
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 4: we had said during the Sunday Night recap. Hit the music, Eric,

584
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 4: I think we've kind of forgot to mention that Kingsley Suamtea,

585
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 4: the franchise left tackle of the Chiefs, got benched in

586
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 4: that game. Trey Hendrickson has been just abusing left tackle,

587
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 4: so that is a little something to be concerned about.

588
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 4: The Chief sixteenth in DVOA through two weeks, just saying

589
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:54,400
Speaker 4: just saying hasn't been great.

590
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna lie when I watch him the combine.

591
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 5: I wasn't a big fan of him, so I'm not

592
00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 5: that surprised. He's just he's got heavy feet as a

593
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 5: raw players need time. But speaking of offensive line, Greg,

594
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 5: the Saints offensive line is awesome. Their zone scheme is

595
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 5: working so well. And for all the concerns we had

596
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 5: about Trevor Penning, he's doing a pretty good job in

597
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 5: the run game. The way they scheme it up, the

598
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 5: way they get tight ends involved, they get Taysom Hill involved,

599
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 5: they get a bunch of other people involved. They are

600
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,640
Speaker 5: creating creases for Alvin Kamara to just run free. There

601
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,159
Speaker 5: was a couple of touchdowns he scored against Dallas he

602
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 5: didn't get touched. I wish I would have talked about

603
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 5: that more.

604
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:27,439
Speaker 4: Yes, the Marvin Harrison touchdown where he toe tapped at

605
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 4: the back of the end zone was the least probable

606
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 4: touchdown of the season, which is amazing because the other

607
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 4: Kyler Murray touchdown where he does the figure eights, felt

608
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 4: about as least probable as ever.

609
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:39,199
Speaker 3: And Kylie Murray.

610
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 4: Kyler Murray, we found out today actually wasn't watching by

611
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 4: the time that second touchdown was caught, but yes, the

612
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 4: least probable touchdown of the season. Harrison had point seven

613
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 4: yards of separation and was point seven yards from the sideline.

614
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 5: Go Nick, speaking of the least probable catches, the smooth

615
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 5: criminal catch. That just tells me everything you need to

616
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 5: know about Devonte Adams. He's smiling on the sideline. He

617
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,959
Speaker 5: is so oh back and I love it for the Raiders.

618
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 4: I should have followed the Petting point up with this.

619
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 4: Taysom Hill got hurt on Sunday, and I think that

620
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 4: could be a big factor for the Saints.

621
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 3: He's key to a lot of what they are doing.

622
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 5: Matt Lafleur put together a phenomenal offensive game plan in

623
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 5: that game against the Colts. He ran that like a

624
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 5: college offense that doesn't trust its quarterback, and they didn't

625
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,880
Speaker 5: need to all the pre snap motions everything else. Super creative,

626
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 5: worked to perfection, and that went over the Colts.

627
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,159
Speaker 4: People always wonder who's the one in Green Bay in

628
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 4: terms of the receiver. Romeo Dobbs is the one. When

629
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 4: they need to play, they go to Romeo Dobbs. He

630
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:30,439
Speaker 4: gets the most snaps, He's the guy you go to

631
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 4: on third down. He is their one. They also love

632
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 4: Tucker Kraft getting a lot more snaps than Luke Musgrave.

633
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 6: And finally, as the whistle blows.

634
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 5: We had the Josh Allen experience for a long time,

635
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 5: it is now the Anthony Richardson experience.

636
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 6: After watching the game back.

637
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I can see that there's a lot of similarities

638
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:52,239
Speaker 4: between young A rich and young Josh Allen. All Right,

639
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 4: let's get to the news because there are some big

640
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 4: old items.

641
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 3: All Right.

642
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 4: The Bryce Young era is over, at least for now

643
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 4: in Carolin. Yeah, maybe on hold, maybe over. Yeah, that's

644
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 4: more of a take than.

645
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 3: A statement of fact.

646
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 4: But Dave Cadawis, the Carolina Panthers head coach, announced onto

647
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 4: on Monday rather that, uh, yeah, he's going to Andy

648
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 4: Dalton for Week three against the Raiders and Nick, you know,

649
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 4: one of the reasons why I think it might be

650
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 4: for good if Andy Dalton stays healthy is that there

651
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 4: was no talk of trying to get Bryce Young a

652
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 4: little bit of a break and then bring him back

653
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 4: or refreshing his mind.

654
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 3: He just benched him, and I.

655
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 4: Think it was partly because of energy and partly because

656
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 4: he wants to give this team a better chance to win.

657
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 3: Let's listen to Dave Canals.

658
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 9: I owe it to all the guys, the coaches, the staff,

659
00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 9: the players, everybody involved to be really critical about what

660
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 9: we put on film, about what I'm seeing, and to

661
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 9: make sure that I'm constantly making the best decision for

662
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 9: the team every week. And it happens to be the

663
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 9: quarterback position, and so it's loaded that way, but it's

664
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 9: every position, and it's all the guys. And I was

665
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 9: able to stand in front of the team and challenge

666
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 9: all the guys that we all have to step up

667
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 9: our passion for what we're doing, to play with the

668
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 9: play style that we're looking for.

669
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 4: The word passion there, I thought was interesting. This is

670
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 4: the Pete Carroll, you know, god son.

671
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 3: I don't even know what he.

672
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 4: Is, but he's like his spiritual son, Like Pete Carroll

673
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 4: is his guy. And yeah, maybe he wants other members

674
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 4: of the team to play with more passion. But you

675
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 4: did get a sense maybe Bryce Young he was a

676
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 4: little beaten down. His body language and everything was just

677
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 4: rough the last couple of weeks, and that.

678
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 3: Was part of the decision making process.

679
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, I heard a clip of Daniel Jeremia even talking

680
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 5: about this or he doesn't look like the guy he

681
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 5: was in Alabama, the body language being one of the things.

682
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 5: Just can't even complete short passes any more. And also, Greg,

683
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 5: we have to think about this contextually. This is a

684
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 5: franchise that fired Frank Reich after eleven games last year.

685
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 5: This is a franchise that has demonstrated that they lack

686
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 5: patience when it comes to, you know, watching things develop

687
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 5: and grow. And Dave Canalis is not about to wait

688
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 5: to find out whether he's going to be next in

689
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 5: the chopping block. He's going to go to the guy

690
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 5: that he knows can win them games. The last time

691
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 5: eighty Dalton played in a game for the Panthers last

692
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 5: year was their best offensive showing of the year, the

693
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 5: only game in which they looked really competent. He went

694
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 5: for three sixty one and two touchdowns in a ten

695
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 5: point loss to the Seahawks on the road last year.

696
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 5: So look, I'm not saying he's coaching for his job,

697
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 5: but he has a reason to think he might have

698
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 5: to coach for his job even after two weeks and

699
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 5: anddie Dalton is clearly the better option, even if it

700
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 5: means that you're essentially giving up on Bryce Young.

701
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 4: Right, So I think it was a mercy benching. It

702
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 4: was absolutely the right decision. I shouldn't have been as

703
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 4: surprised about it as it was, because we even talked

704
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 4: about it on Sunday that it was that we thought

705
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 4: it was getting to that point. I just didn't think

706
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 4: that they would do it now. Canalis was also asked

707
00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 4: whether ownership was involved in this decision, so his answer

708
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 4: was not direct. He said he was going to keep

709
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 4: that private, but that he spoke to all the important

710
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 4: parties in the organization, so you can read into that

711
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 4: what you will. Now, I would believe that the conversation

712
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 4: would start with Canals, but there's no way to guess,

713
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 4: and it doesn't really matter. He did confirm, you know,

714
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 4: he talked with the front office heads about the decision,

715
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 4: including Dan Morgan, But it came after watching the tape,

716
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 4: and I get it like.

717
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 3: It's as tough.

718
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,479
Speaker 4: I wanted to watch it before we talked about him,

719
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 4: so I did go back and watch that, and I'd

720
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 4: watched the first game on Coaches Film, and it was

721
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 4: as tough a quarterback tape as I've seen. It was

722
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 4: so much worse than it was a year ago. Like

723
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 4: we said on the show, yesterday, like he wasn't even

724
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 4: attempting throws over ten yards. His last throw, potentially as

725
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 4: a Carolina Panther, was a jump pass on fourth down

726
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 4: that get batted down by the chart or just full

727
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 4: back Medlock or whatever who's also a defensive lineman. And

728
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 4: it was one of a couple passes where he had

729
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 4: to jump to get over the top of the offensive

730
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,239
Speaker 4: lineman or the defender, and a couple of times they

731
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 4: got batted down. A couple they were incomplete, a couple

732
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 4: they were complete, and almost every drive ended with him

733
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 4: just throwing short of the sticks on third and long

734
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 4: and he just looked shattered. And it sucks, man. It's unprecedented.

735
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 4: I went through because I've been covering the NFL since

736
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 4: so three, and I was like, I don't think this

737
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 4: has ever happened, like a number one overall pick getting

738
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 4: benched this early and playing this port. I don't think

739
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 4: it's ever happened, And so I did go through it.

740
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 4: Josh Rosen is probably the closest, but he wasn't a

741
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 4: number one overall pick. For number one overall picks, JaMarcus

742
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 4: Russell got bench twenty five starts in that was pretty deep.

743
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 4: Into his third season. He had the Mahomes rookie year

744
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 4: where he didn't start until the very last game of

745
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 4: the season. So that's the only thing that's close. Even

746
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 4: that was ten games into his third season, and his

747
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 4: second season actually had a lot more positive moments than

748
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 4: than Bryce Young's ever had. Alex Smith got bench, but

749
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 4: that was like four years in for Troy Smith. I

750
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 4: remember them chanting, we want Carr, like deep into that

751
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,800
Speaker 4: season two for David Carr, who is now our colleague,

752
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 4: And I just remember that being a tough moment because

753
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 4: Alex Smith was in the game and the fans are chanting.

754
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 4: Jamis got bench for Ryan Fitzpatrick. Again, that was four

755
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:31,240
Speaker 4: years in, so that's pretty different. And that was actually

756
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 4: coming off of suspension and then he got bench later,

757
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 4: So like if he doesn't ever make it happen with

758
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 4: the Panthers, it's it's pretty unique how poorly this has gone.

759
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, and not to mention the capitol they gave up

760
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 5: to move up. I mean we've already seen the ramifications

761
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 5: of the Bear scene, the number one pick and spending

762
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,360
Speaker 5: it on Caleb Williams this past draft, and it's something

763
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 5: that could leave, you know, make waves for multiple years.

764
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,280
Speaker 5: But again, you live in the now in the NFL,

765
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 5: you have to go win this upcoming game, So you

766
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 5: totally understand why Dave Canalis went in this direction. It

767
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 5: is funny though, you made that point about them not

768
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 5: even talking about giving him like a chance to get

769
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 5: a breather or grow. Even when Zach Wilson got benched,

770
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 5: when Robert Sala put him on the bench, he talked

771
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 5: about he needs time to reset and grow, and you know,

772
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 5: we believe in him. Even though that didn't pan out.

773
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 5: You're not getting any of that from the Panthers, So

774
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 5: it doesn't bode well.

775
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:21,359
Speaker 4: No, it makes me wonder if he's a trade candidate now.

776
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 6: I who wants him?

777
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 4: Well, just just because it's uncomfortable, you know, could you

778
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 4: get a fifth round pick or whatever.

779
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:33,320
Speaker 5: And the franchise that that once drafted Jimmy class and

780
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 5: then followed that up by drafting Cam Newton.

781
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:39,879
Speaker 4: So right, I mean, his struggles now that it's going

782
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 4: into a second season are rare for a quarterback taking

783
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 4: that high. You know, as rookies like Alex Smith, Eli

784
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:52,319
Speaker 4: Manning had struggles like that. But there's always a team

785
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 4: that's willing to give up, like a mid round pick

786
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 4: to take another swing. I mean, we just saw it

787
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 4: happen with Trey Lance. It's a little crazy for it

788
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 4: to happen now. But the only reason I even thought

789
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 4: of it was because of what you said, Nick, that

790
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 4: this has been an organization that is not afraid to

791
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 4: turn the page quickly, and even that this decision was

792
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,800
Speaker 4: made made me think, like, where is the decision coming

793
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:17,359
Speaker 4: from exactly? The GM that drafted him technically is not there.

794
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 4: The coach that was there when they drafted him is

795
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 4: not there, and so maybe the loyalties not there. The

796
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 4: odds are that Andy Dalton won't make it through the

797
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 4: season healthy based on just how Dalton's gotten hurt pretty

798
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 4: quickly when he's played in the last couple of years,

799
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 4: including in this preseason. So I don't know if they

800
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 4: would bench him, you know, for a third stringer, that

801
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 4: would seem that would seem absolutely crazy. They would take

802
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:46,240
Speaker 4: a huge cap hit this year at nine million dollars

803
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 4: if they traded him during this season. Let's say to like,

804
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 4: you know, Mike McDaniel, I don't know, that's not going

805
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 4: to happen. Now, It's not going to happen. I don't

806
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 4: think and they don't have much cap room either. I'm

807
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 4: just spinning wheels because this is just an unprecedented.

808
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 3: Crazy situation.

809
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, we'll see how it plays out.

810
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 5: It is really unfortunate because this is a guy who

811
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 5: just was super talented at Alabama. And you know, even

812
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:12,360
Speaker 5: in that draft, I know we're going a little long

813
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:13,799
Speaker 5: and at this point, but even in that draft, I

814
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 5: remember it was Bryce Young and CJ. Stroud and it

815
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 5: seemed like the consensus was Bryce Young was the runaway

816
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:20,319
Speaker 5: QB one and I sat back at the time and

817
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 5: I'm not trying to like take a victory lap or anything,

818
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 5: but I was like, are.

819
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 6: Are we sure?

820
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 5: Like he is small, he doesn't necessarily he's not going

821
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 5: to be going to a situation with the best traits

822
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 5: to find success, whereas Stroud's you know, greatest trade was accuracy.

823
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 5: Obviously he's in a much better situation. But just hindsight,

824
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 5: you know, with the privilege of it, Oh man, what

825
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 5: a tough pick.

826
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 6: Right.

827
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 4: It's one of the things that frustrates me about the

828
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 4: draft process is.

829
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 6: The total crew things.

830
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 4: Too much group thing from draft analysts, where it just

831
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 4: becomes like, well, of course he's has to be one,

832
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,799
Speaker 4: and like it was really bold for people to get

833
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 4: out on a limon say Stroud they like strive better

834
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 4: and there were people that liked that. But even though

835
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,280
Speaker 4: most people it's like they wouldn't have had any Bryce

836
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 4: any lower than.

837
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 3: Three or five overall or two.

838
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 4: And yeah, you looked at his size in the NFL,

839
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 4: it's a setback for us short guys.

840
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, I was gonna say, a tough day for short kings.

841
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 4: You know, the short representation. Seriously, I think his size

842
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 4: has been a problem. And you can point to Kyler Murray,

843
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 4: who is not much taller, but then you can point out, yeah,

844
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 4: but Kyler Murray has insane physical gifts, so that's probably

845
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 4: what you need to make up for it. Now, Drew

846
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:36,399
Speaker 4: Brees didn't have that, and it took him a while

847
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 4: to get going. But again, I even think the difference

848
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 4: in height between Bryce Young and Drew Brees and the

849
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 4: difference in frame actually was pretty significant once you're getting

850
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 4: to this point like it's it's maybe I don't know

851
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 4: what the word is, where once you get over a

852
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 4: certain threshold, like it an extra two or three inches

853
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 4: down means a lot, Like, Yeah, Drew Brees was probably

854
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 4: not really six feet, but like Brayce Young being five nine,

855
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 4: that's a big difference.

856
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:05,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, and the frame usually makes up for it when

857
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 5: it comes to sustaining hits too. I mean, oftentimes you

858
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:08,880
Speaker 5: got to roll guys out and get him out of

859
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 5: the pocket. That's what part of what makes Kyler, you know,

860
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 5: special is his scrambling ability, which we talked about at

861
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 5: length on yesterday's show.

862
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,320
Speaker 3: So this is all depressing me. So I mentioned the Dolphins.

863
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:21,879
Speaker 4: As I'm talking about it, I'm realizing, like, yeah, they're

864
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 4: probably not going to do that. But they did sign

865
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 4: Tyler Huntley on Monday, and I think that's a really

866
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 4: good signing for them. I think he's an NFL quarterback.

867
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:34,360
Speaker 4: He was on the Ravens practice squad. He is not

868
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 4: going to challenge Skyler Thompson for the starting job, assuming

869
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 4: Skyler Thompson is the starter in Week three.

870
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 3: That has not officially.

871
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 4: Been announced, but Mike McDaniel did talk on Monday and

872
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:50,800
Speaker 4: made it clear this has nothing to do with Skyler Thompson.

873
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:54,800
Speaker 4: We wanted another quarterback, you know, in the room who's

874
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 4: a professional, but we believe in Skyler, who's been with

875
00:39:57,760 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 4: them for a couple of years. Now and won the

876
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:02,399
Speaker 4: backup and so, you know, listening to that, it would

877
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 4: sound like Skyler Thompson will start this week and presumably

878
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,839
Speaker 4: the next few weeks, but we still don't know how

879
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 4: long to a Tongue of Iloa will be out. McDaniel

880
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,760
Speaker 4: said the next couple of days would be important about

881
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 4: making a decision on him. Injured reserve is a possibility,

882
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 4: but we just we don't know on that situation. But

883
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:22,320
Speaker 4: we're getting Skyler Thompson trying to keep the Dolphin season

884
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:24,799
Speaker 4: afloat in the meantime. And one thing I did want

885
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 4: to talk about here just quickly is Ian Rappaport reported Sunday,

886
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 4: we didn't mention this yet on NFL Game Day morning

887
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 4: that to a Tongue of Ioloa has no plans to

888
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 4: retire and that the intent is for him to return

889
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:39,839
Speaker 4: to football, and so we'll just have to find out

890
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 4: how long it'll be till that's possible and whether that

891
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 4: does happen.

892
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, hopefully Skyler plays, you know, well enough better than

893
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:50,919
Speaker 5: he did in Thursday nights game. The limited sample size

894
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,360
Speaker 5: we have on him is not very encouraging at this point,

895
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,360
Speaker 5: So hopefully for the Dolphin's sake that, you know, a

896
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 5: week of preparation gets him in a better situation to

897
00:40:58,600 --> 00:40:59,880
Speaker 5: perform this week.

898
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 4: Hopefully for our sake. I mean, I'm selfish. I want

899
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 4: to see good quarterback play. We're struggling right now.

900
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:06,800
Speaker 3: Like it.

901
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 4: The league hurts when you lose a quarterback like Jordan Now.

902
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:13,720
Speaker 4: Malik Willis made it fun for a week. Look, Skyler

903
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 4: Thompson made it pretty fun in that playoff game against

904
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:18,400
Speaker 4: the Bills, But at this point that's kind of been

905
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 4: the highlight of what we've seen out of Skaler Thompson,

906
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:22,400
Speaker 4: and there were some struggles. I think that's going to

907
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 4: be a challenging matchup for Miami in Seattle this week.

908
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 4: Then they have Tennessee and then the Patriots after that

909
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,399
Speaker 4: coming up as they try to manage their season. There's

910
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 4: a lot of teams. I think Atlanta did a nice

911
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 4: job managing their season tonight. The Rams are suddenly in

912
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 4: a real big manage the season mode. Cooper Cup is

913
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 4: expected to miss multiple weeks, What a blow for this team.

914
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 4: Potentially could go on injured reserve with the ankle injury

915
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 4: that he suffered on Sunday, So they are without Cooper

916
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 4: Cup and Pooka Nakua. Can this Rams offense survive shook

917
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 4: I mean, if you look at their depth chart, it's

918
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 4: not super encouraging. The fact that, you know, we had

919
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 4: a player who wasn't really getting any reps with the Buccaneers,

920
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 4: Tyler Johnson, you know, making plays for them.

921
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 6: That's not encouraging.

922
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,280
Speaker 5: You have a veteran DeMarcus Robinson who's made some plays

923
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:15,360
Speaker 5: in spots. You got to to atwell, who's good to

924
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:16,800
Speaker 5: take the top off the defense or at least be

925
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 5: a decoy. And Jordan Winnington the preseason Darling, that's not

926
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 5: what you thought you were going to go into the

927
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 5: season with. They're super banged up and it's early and

928
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 5: it's never going to be banged up early. But hopefully

929
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:28,359
Speaker 5: they get good news on Cup because I don't think

930
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:29,720
Speaker 5: we're gonna see Pooka for a while.

931
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 4: I yeah, it sounds like Puga could miss up to

932
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:36,840
Speaker 4: two months according to Ian rapport, but injured reserve is

933
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 4: still a possibility for Cooper Cup. And when they even

934
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 4: throw that out as a possibility, then you think it's

935
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:48,760
Speaker 4: more likely. They also got bad news on the injury

936
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 4: front losing John Johnson. Their safety is going to be

937
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 4: out for an extended time. And then Jonah Jackson, another

938
00:42:56,200 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 4: one of their starting guards, and their big offensive line acquisition,

939
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 4: so the offensive line is just absolutely beleaguered. It sounds

940
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 4: like all three of those guys could go on injured reserve.

941
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 3: So I actually think they.

942
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:12,360
Speaker 4: Could win with this receiver group if they had a

943
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:15,839
Speaker 4: fully intact offensive line and running game in Matthew Stafford, like,

944
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 4: I've seen these guys like their NFL players, and we've

945
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:23,879
Speaker 4: seen offenses without great receivers survive with a great offensive line,

946
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 4: great quarterback, great running game. But the offensive line is

947
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 4: totally in shambles. The defense really struggled on Sunday, so

948
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 4: that's not helping matters either. And yeah, they have the

949
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 4: forty nine ers this week who are dealing with.

950
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:38,320
Speaker 3: Their own injury news.

951
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 4: Deebo Samuel is going to miss an extended period of

952
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:46,440
Speaker 4: time multiple weeks. It sounds like for Deebo Samuel just

953
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 4: I feel like the fantasy football community has been hit hard.

954
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 4: But the forty nine has got to be happy they

955
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 4: got Brandon Ayuk in the building. I know he hasn't

956
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 4: looked great so far this season, but now with Samuel out,

957
00:43:57,680 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 4: Ayu plays an even bigger role.

958
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 5: H And like you said, he's gotten up to a

959
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 5: slow start. He's been a bit of a non factor.

960
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 5: And I think some of that is situational, like just

961
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 5: scheme Deebo's open Aukes not Maybe he's getting more attention,

962
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 5: but after we spent so much time talking about his contract,

963
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 5: did not see the payoff early. It stings a little bit.

964
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 5: But now we're gonna see. It's gonna be a real test.

965
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:17,919
Speaker 5: He's getting thrown into the fire. You know you're gonna

966
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 5: earn that money now. So they're a team that's built

967
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 5: to withstand this. They are not in a situation like

968
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:23,760
Speaker 5: the Rams. They'll be in a better spot.

969
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:28,359
Speaker 4: But still, okay, I hear you. You know they didn't

970
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 4: withstand it on Sunday. Now, that was a tough matchup

971
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 4: against a Vikings team and gave them trouble last year

972
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:35,400
Speaker 4: when they were also banged up. But they're not just

973
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 4: without Deebo Samuel, who's vital to everything they do. Just

974
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 4: he's involved in so much of what they do. They're

975
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 4: missing Deebo Samuel and Christian McCaffrey and Ricky pearsall who

976
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 4: is their first round draft pick. Now, we don't know

977
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 4: what kind of player Pearsall is going to be at

978
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 4: the pro level, but they drafted him in the first

979
00:44:56,760 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 4: round just for a situation like this. So yeah, you

980
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 4: have Juwan Jennings and Brandon Ayuk. Look that that's still

981
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 4: a better receiver duo than most than many teams have it.

982
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,280
Speaker 4: And you have George Kiddo is also kind of coming

983
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:15,280
Speaker 4: in and out of that game. But the NFC West,

984
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:17,920
Speaker 4: we're going to talk about it on Wednesday show with

985
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:23,279
Speaker 4: Jordan Rodrigue and Connie Fox. Judge Connie is returning, Oh

986
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 4: yeah to the courtroom, and I think we're going to

987
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 4: talk a little NFC West there. But it's interesting, you

988
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:30,720
Speaker 4: forty nine Ers and Rams were the teams that were

989
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 4: that were the on top last year and they're vulnerable

990
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 4: right now. The Rams are just trying to survive right

991
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:40,439
Speaker 4: now or else. Who knows. They could be oh to four,

992
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:42,839
Speaker 4: oh and five, one and five something like that when

993
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:43,840
Speaker 4: you look at their schedule.

994
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:45,839
Speaker 5: I have a bit of a comp that might serve

995
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 5: the forty nine Ers well during this time in which

996
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 5: they're missing so many receiving options, including Christian McCaffrey. Go

997
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:53,280
Speaker 5: be the Pittsburgh Steelers, go be a team that lost

998
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 5: your penciled in number two in Roman Wilson early in

999
00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 5: the year in the preseason, and just go win with

1000
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 5: defense and ugly offense. Just go figure it out. You

1001
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:04,239
Speaker 5: got Jordan Mason pound in the rock, he got an

1002
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 5: offensive line that blocks it up. Well, go win that

1003
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 5: way for a few weeks.

1004
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 6: Why not?

1005
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:10,240
Speaker 3: Absolutely true?

1006
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 4: Good teams find different ways to when we saw it

1007
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,319
Speaker 4: with the Packers and the forty nine Ers are more

1008
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:17,320
Speaker 4: than capable. Oh and they still have Kyle Shanahan and

1009
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:18,839
Speaker 4: Nick Bosa, yes, and.

1010
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 6: Brock Purdy and Fred Warner who's playing his tailoff.

1011
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:24,920
Speaker 4: And Trent Williams, And you're right, they have no excuses,

1012
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 4: especially with the Rams on the schedule this week. Isaiah

1013
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 4: Pacheco has a broken fibula. He will miss six to

1014
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:35,280
Speaker 4: eight weeks. You know, they've also been without Clyde Edwards

1015
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 4: Hilaire on the NFI list, so he's out for at

1016
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 4: least two more weeks. They are bringing in Kareem Hunt

1017
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 4: for a visit, not signed as of yet. That would

1018
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:49,239
Speaker 4: make sense to me on paper. How big of a

1019
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:49,799
Speaker 4: loss do you think?

1020
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 6: Pachecko is pretty big?

1021
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:54,279
Speaker 5: He runs hard, he paces his offense on the ground

1022
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:57,759
Speaker 5: and they're gonna they're thin in the backfield. But Greg,

1023
00:46:57,800 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 5: I do have a fun little insider tidbit. I went

1024
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:01,879
Speaker 5: to the Cleveland Guardians game on Friday night and guess

1025
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 5: who I saw at the game. And I was with

1026
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:07,920
Speaker 5: my friend thing I was like, hey, there's Kareem and

1027
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:09,920
Speaker 5: they go, why is he here? And I well, he

1028
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:11,399
Speaker 5: lives here and he doesn't have a job right now.

1029
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:12,800
Speaker 5: Look who might have a job.

1030
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 4: Nothing better, maybe nothing better, But it doesn't matter what

1031
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 4: you're doing in life. Going to a baseball game just

1032
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:23,959
Speaker 4: a joy, just a great time. My kids don't even

1033
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,360
Speaker 4: like love baseball that much. They they love going to

1034
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 4: a baseball game, so it's great time. Kareem Hunt was

1035
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:32,840
Speaker 4: not the same Kareem Hunt that you remember, but you

1036
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 4: never know. With some time off, maybe that will help

1037
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:39,960
Speaker 4: or maybe not. Like Dalvin Cook had time off and

1038
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 4: it's come back and it never really was. Has been

1039
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:44,720
Speaker 4: the same same thing with Le'Veon Bell. So we'll see.

1040
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 4: They could be starting and I'm sure people will be

1041
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:50,560
Speaker 4: picking up on the old fantasy waiver wire like Carson

1042
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:53,480
Speaker 4: Steele might be there starting, which is crazy.

1043
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:56,319
Speaker 5: It's crazy because he was like largely their fullback or

1044
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 5: their short yardage situation back.

1045
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 6: I don't see him getting a full work.

1046
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 4: I know Ryan is there, who was also available for

1047
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 4: absolutely anyone to sign just a few weeks ago. And yeah,

1048
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 4: their offense has gotten pretty banged up pretty quickly. Question

1049
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:15,200
Speaker 4: at left tackle, markis Brown out for maybe most of

1050
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:15,760
Speaker 4: the season.

1051
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, there, I think there are.

1052
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:19,879
Speaker 4: It's fair to ask questions even though they win through

1053
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 4: all their questions, unlike most teams in the league. All right,

1054
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 4: let's just roll through a bunch of quick hitters. Injury wise,

1055
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:29,400
Speaker 4: Justin Herbert X rays were negative after he had an

1056
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:32,800
Speaker 4: ankle injury, although there's still being a little cagey he

1057
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 4: might get an mry this week. Harbaugh wouldn't answer that directly.

1058
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:39,319
Speaker 4: Justin Jefferson as a indicated sounds like it's not going.

1059
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 3: To be a major issue.

1060
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 4: Kevin O'Connell didn't promise anything, but said Jefferson felt good

1061
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 4: on Monday, so that's good. Jermaine Johnson, the Jets edge player,

1062
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:53,360
Speaker 4: did confirm he has a torn achilles. Juwan Bentley, the

1063
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 4: Patriots linebacker, has a torn pectoral muscle, according to our

1064
00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 4: NFL Network insider, so he might miss the season. He's

1065
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:03,839
Speaker 4: a valuable player for them, Mike McGlinchey the Broncos their

1066
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 4: tackle could miss a month more bad news for that offense.

1067
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 4: And Joe Mixon was getting an MRI on his ankle.

1068
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 4: If any or all of those stand out to you,

1069
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:14,920
Speaker 4: feel free to comment on them, Chuck, I would be

1070
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 4: impressed if you remembered each and everyone and then had

1071
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:19,279
Speaker 4: one comment fro him. But I think that would not

1072
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 4: be a pleasant listening experience.

1073
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:22,880
Speaker 5: Oh well, no, it wouldn't be. But luckily I have

1074
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 5: a list in front of me, so I will pop

1075
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 5: through a couple of them. The Jermaine Johnson injury immediately

1076
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:30,640
Speaker 5: makes me think about Hassan Radick again, because they are

1077
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:33,359
Speaker 5: struggling to generate a pass rush and that's a key

1078
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:34,240
Speaker 5: part of their defense.

1079
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:37,080
Speaker 4: Wait, hold it right there, because it is very funny

1080
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 4: to me how much Eagles fans hate Bryce Huff right now,

1081
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:40,840
Speaker 4: like everyone.

1082
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 5: He was getting the push in the broadcast tonight. There's

1083
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:45,360
Speaker 5: number zero Bryce Huff. Let's see if he can generate

1084
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:47,879
Speaker 5: a pass rush. Stonewall by the right, he was.

1085
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 4: On the ground, and because they were pointing out in part,

1086
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:52,799
Speaker 4: but because also you know, he's been a story and

1087
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:56,279
Speaker 4: he was on the ground so many times, so that's

1088
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:58,839
Speaker 4: not a good sign when edge player is on the ground.

1089
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:00,920
Speaker 4: Josh Sweat hasn't really go yeah and done. It's one

1090
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 4: thing we didn't mention, Like, Yeah, I'm not surprised that

1091
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:04,800
Speaker 4: Falcons didn't have much of a pass rush. I know

1092
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:07,439
Speaker 4: they have Matthew Judah and he'll pop for like one,

1093
00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:09,799
Speaker 4: one or two good rushes every once in a while.

1094
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 4: But I'm a little surprised and disappointed how bad that

1095
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 4: Eagles pass rush is in the.

1096
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 6: Rushes through the interior. Right, Eagles and.

1097
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 4: Jets fans are both so mad about this swap. It

1098
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:24,799
Speaker 4: wasn't actually a trade. The son Reddick was a trade

1099
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 4: for a third rod pick. Bryce Huff just came in

1100
00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:29,360
Speaker 4: free agency. But like everyone has lost here except for

1101
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:33,440
Speaker 4: sports talk radio hosts that are just you know, rage,

1102
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:35,280
Speaker 4: you know, complaining about these moves.

1103
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 5: In the words of Kevin Harlan Calamity. Also on this list,

1104
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 5: the Jill Mixon ankle injury. I didn't see today. I

1105
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 5: don't know if he came through, but it looked like

1106
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:46,600
Speaker 5: it might have been our first example of a pretty

1107
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 5: clear hip drop tackle. Would like to see what happens

1108
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:49,920
Speaker 5: with that.

1109
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:51,719
Speaker 3: Yes, he would too.

1110
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:55,080
Speaker 4: He sent out something on social stay in the NFL

1111
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 4: needs to respond with their actions, and by that he

1112
00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:03,480
Speaker 4: means give and they should have called it on the field.

1113
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:06,680
Speaker 4: And I suspect he's right. I suspect there will be

1114
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:09,720
Speaker 4: a fine and they just missed the call on the field.

1115
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:11,680
Speaker 3: All right, That is it for news.

1116
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:18,200
Speaker 4: We wrap up every show with a little segment I

1117
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:21,080
Speaker 4: like to call Captain's Corner. I mean, I didn't make

1118
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:25,240
Speaker 4: it up, but it is time for Captain's Corner, presented

1119
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:28,880
Speaker 4: by Captain Morgan Nick. Both you and I can present

1120
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:31,680
Speaker 4: our players that struck our fancy this week.

1121
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 3: Why don't you get us going?

1122
00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:36,000
Speaker 5: Well, you know, if you don't know me, you do

1123
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:38,680
Speaker 5: know now that I'm an Ohio State fan, born and bred,

1124
00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:40,879
Speaker 5: didn't go there, but raised to be an Ohio State fan.

1125
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:45,399
Speaker 5: And I've watched Marvin Harrison Junior dominate collegiate defenses for years.

1126
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:48,000
Speaker 5: So it was a joy to see him pop off

1127
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:51,359
Speaker 5: for not one, but two relatively long touchdown passes, one

1128
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:54,040
Speaker 5: very long in his second professional game, especially after he

1129
00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 5: was essentially ignored in his debut. It was a beautiful thing.

1130
00:51:57,520 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 5: He is my Captain of the Week because not all

1131
00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 5: did he have a couple of touchdown receptions. Not only

1132
00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:06,160
Speaker 5: did he finally make his mark in his second NFL game,

1133
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:08,760
Speaker 5: but he became the first rookie to have four plus

1134
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:12,200
Speaker 5: receptions two or more receiving touchdowns in the first quarter

1135
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:15,959
Speaker 5: of a game since his dad did it in Week

1136
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 5: sixteen of nineteen ninety six. Hat tipped NFL Research for

1137
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:22,640
Speaker 5: unearthing that that is how you make your first mark

1138
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:23,240
Speaker 5: in the NFL.

1139
00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:24,760
Speaker 3: I love that pick.

1140
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:28,879
Speaker 4: I wanted to get kind of hipster and was like,

1141
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:32,239
Speaker 4: oh yeah, let's go like Tucker Kraft or something. You know,

1142
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:36,799
Speaker 4: oh deep dive, you know, great tap dog or you know.

1143
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:39,919
Speaker 4: Chris o'lobby is doing the small things. He's blocking now,

1144
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:44,239
Speaker 4: he's making contested catches. But when I saw the screenshot

1145
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:48,280
Speaker 4: that Nit Nate Tice, our friend sent out of Kyler

1146
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:53,120
Speaker 4: Murray doing the lebron after that insane touchdown that he

1147
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:57,440
Speaker 4: had and turning away and looking at the sideline before

1148
00:52:57,520 --> 00:52:59,879
Speaker 4: making what I now believe to be is the throw

1149
00:52:59,880 --> 00:53:02,000
Speaker 4: of a week. He got robbed in our Throw of

1150
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:05,359
Speaker 4: the Year nomination. Maybe I'll bring that back up once

1151
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 4: I saw that. That's being a captain right there. So

1152
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:11,600
Speaker 4: that's just unreal for him to make one of the

1153
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:13,920
Speaker 4: plays of the year and then turn around and not

1154
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:17,120
Speaker 4: even watch the touchdown being completed because he knew what

1155
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:20,840
Speaker 4: was happening. Kyler Murray is he's got a chance to

1156
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:23,879
Speaker 4: potentially get into the MVP talk. I know it's only

1157
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:25,680
Speaker 4: two weeks, but he would be a lot of fun.

1158
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:29,719
Speaker 4: That was the Captain's Corner presented by Captain Morgan. It's

1159
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:32,840
Speaker 4: delicious and crisp, perfect for game day with friends.

1160
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:33,400
Speaker 3: Spice it up.

00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:32,480
Speaker 4: Yes for the long awaited return of Judge Connie. The

1178
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 4: Falcon season is alive. False hope that that's how we
