In fact, 37 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: a little Tony Romo special house special, very special. It 38 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: was Tony Romo Day at Jerald World. Uh ro we 39 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,519 Speaker 1: got a little choked up, uh in fact, after a 40 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 1: little Jason Witten video display and then they sent it 41 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: to Jimmy nance and Tony was all choked up. Very 42 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 1: nice scene. But then there was a football game to 43 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: be played and it was a good one. Smith and 44 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: the Gun. Fourth and eight Snippers back fucking standing throwing 45 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: metal shod jamtline by Alex Sniper year All Brad Sham 46 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: k r l D the Sham God. Jeff Heath had 47 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: a key fourth quarter interception, Zeke Elliott score the go 48 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 1: ahead touchdown on the Cowboys continued their surge seventeen win 49 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 1: over the Chiefs at Jarro World allowed Jarro World here 50 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,519 Speaker 1: that people having fun Cowboys. People like to knock that 51 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: stadium for not being allowed not true today. Yeah, nice 52 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: facility over there. Greg Dallas is starting to resemble the 53 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: team that ran rough shot over the NFL for the 54 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 1: majority of last season. Today they took control in the 55 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 1: second half against the very good Chiefs team Therey They 56 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: just leaned on them. And this is a good Chiefs team, 57 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: but it's not a good Chiefs defense. And much like 58 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: the Steelers leaned on the Chiefs and just warmed down, 59 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: that's what the Cowboys did. I mean, the second half 60 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: of this game was reminded me of the two thousand 61 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: and what was it fifteen Cowboys team with with Tony 62 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: Romo at quarterback just holding the ball forever. UH twelve 63 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: played drive for a touchdown when they had just fallen 64 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: down in the game where it looked like the Chiefs 65 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: had momentum. Then to start the fourth quarter a third 66 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: teen play touchdown drive and the Chiefs really they never 67 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: recovered from that. They just pushed on him. And this 68 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: Chiefs defense, I'm not gonna say it's soft, but it's light, 69 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: and I think that's gonna be a problem for them 70 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: as they move forward. I mean, only three Cowboys possessions 71 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: in the second half, but as you said, elongated clock 72 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: chewing drives that really, you know, squeezed the life out 73 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 1: of Kansas. The Chiefs of now someone quietly lost three 74 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 1: or four after that five and oh start And yeah, 75 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: I think you're right, Greg. You don't want to rip 76 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: the Chiefs and say, oh, their defense thinks. But the 77 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,479 Speaker 1: loss of Eric Burry in week one, I think that's 78 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: week after week it shows itself and you wonder, um, 79 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: uh with that offense, they're gonna continue to score points 80 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: and incredible touchdown the Tyreek h Hill scored right before 81 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 1: the end of UH the half where It was basically 82 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: a checkdown to just try to get some yardage, some 83 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: fantasy points. That turned into a touchdown. That was amazing. 84 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 1: They're always gonna score points with all those playmakers. But 85 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 1: is this a championship defense. I don't think. But they 86 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 1: have to score thirty points. They have to score they 87 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: have to be great. And they started this game out 88 00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 1: with a couple of three and outs and they they 89 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 1: this is just a team that kind of can't afford that. 90 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: I agree with that, But then I was just looking 91 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: at what remains for Kansas City and they go into 92 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: their bye week after that, you have games against the Giants, Bills, Jets, Raiders, Chargers, Dolphins, 93 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: and Broncos. That's I'm not worried. It's five or six 94 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,479 Speaker 1: of the weakest teams in the league right now. I'm 95 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: not worried about them making the playoffs or even necessarily 96 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: win the just doing what they The stumbling block always 97 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: comes when they get into the playoffs. I mean, this 98 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: is already a different team though, and those past Chiefs teams, 99 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: but yeah, you get the or maybe it isn't. Maybe 100 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: that year for instance, where they got knocked off by 101 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,280 Speaker 1: Andrew Luck where they did score a lot of points, 102 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: but the defense killed them. They don't want that faith. 103 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: They gotta win a couple of playoff games. It's been 104 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: a long time since they really went deep into the post. 105 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: The Cowboys have really looked like one of the NFL's 106 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 1: better teams though the last few weeks, because they have 107 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 1: that offense and because they can make plays on defense, 108 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: they are a little more bounced. David Irving with another 109 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: big play today. DeMarcus Lawrence really played some complimentary football, 110 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: and that Tyreek Hill touchdown was insane and kind of 111 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 1: took it away, but he made a couple of plays 112 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: on his own that gave the ball back to the 113 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: Cowboys and set up a late first half touchdown drive 114 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: when it looked like for all the world that the 115 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 1: Chiefs were going into score. I mean, he's making place 116 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 1: on Lee's making plays on his own, like they have 117 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: enough on defense, and Tony Romo made a very uh 118 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,720 Speaker 1: I'm sure it's stew point. Nothing I would know, but 119 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: how they really changed their running scheme over the last 120 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: three or four weeks, doing a little more missdirection play 121 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 1: mixing it up, and it's really working. I mean, DeMarcus 122 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: Lawrence is right now a very solid candidate for Defensive 123 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 1: Player of the Air, which is not something you thought 124 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: would you would have gotten from this Cowboys defense in 125 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: the off season when everyone's calling at the Achilles heel. 126 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: That would drag them down and you know, ship them 127 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 1: out of the playoff picture. And we'll say, well to 128 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: two points for me. One was you know you're a 129 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: good team when you do take a shot in the 130 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 1: mouth like that at the end of the second quarter 131 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: of the first drive of the third quarter where the Chiefs, 132 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: again a very good team, sees control of the game, 133 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 1: and then you just wrestle right back and then the 134 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: other point is here we go again. Now we're back 135 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: into limbo with the Cowboys. Was Zeke Elliott this this 136 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: could be his last game for six weeks When we 137 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: last podcast that we didn't even mention the fact that 138 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,279 Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott might be able to play for this game. 139 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: And I was kicking myself on Friday for at least 140 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: not mentioning that the fourth of their Hail Mary's that 141 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: week where it's going up and maybe he could play. 142 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: And it's hanging over this whole season, which feels a 143 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: little cursed because this Cowboys team is so much fun 144 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: to watch in the NFC East Race with those two 145 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: teams Eagles and Dallas playing, including on a Sunday night 146 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: game in a couple of weeks like that, those would 147 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: be the best games of the season. Got to find out, 148 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: Got to find out a judge Cathy f takes another vacation, 149 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: then returns from a yet another vacation, and and and 150 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: drops's uh not summering falling at Mount every lodge in 151 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: and before we move on, I do just want to 152 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 1: ask Mark for his thoughts on the Kansas City Chiefs 153 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: touchdown celebration. What they did the sock you know, hot race. 154 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: You know, I don't know if I've don't know, if 155 00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: I don't know what it. Yeah, it was a saying 156 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: tato sack. I don't know if I believe in the 157 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: concept of football gods, if if they exist, As we mentioned, 158 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: Dan and I have a lot of arguments with them, 159 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: but I will say this that I kind of think 160 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,239 Speaker 1: if there are football gods and said, hey, little potato 161 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: sack jumping Chiefs players in Dallas, you're going down because 162 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: I locked this game up. By the way, true, Mark 163 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: was not amused when the sack race was going on No, 164 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: this is one of those great angry Sessler days, very vengeful. God, 165 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: it's not angry. Let's move on. I don't remember. Calls 166 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: you to the shotgun, takes a snap. Lookie going down 167 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: the left sideline looking for Docks and cod It's called 168 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 1: inside the five to the one yard line. He might 169 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: have rolled in. Wow, what a catch by Josh Docks. 170 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,599 Speaker 1: And he laid it all up that time. I don't know. 171 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: I don't remember. You're like the wolfman. It's like a 172 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 1: full moon. He was like, you wake up the next 173 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: morning and you're one of those scorn and there's a 174 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: dead body in the on the front lawn, and you're 175 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: just like, what just happened? Look, I appeared at work today. 176 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: I was tasked with a variety of items and I 177 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 1: handled them all with professional total pro Also a total 178 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: pro Larry Michael W T E. M with a call. 179 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: Josh Dotson's clutch diving catch set up a Rob Kelly 180 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: one yard touchdown plunge with less than a minute to play. 181 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,679 Speaker 1: The Washington Redskins rally to upset the Seattle Seahawks seventeen 182 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 1: to fourteen. At the clink, my own mark Seattle dominated 183 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 1: this game. In many ways, but Washington somehow ended up 184 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,959 Speaker 1: on top. How it was a very wild game. And 185 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: I think if you if you're one of the rare 186 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: fans at this point, they wants to see two defenses 187 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: knock out a pair of offenses. That's what happened. For 188 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,559 Speaker 1: so much this game was too nothing for a long 189 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: period of time. The Seattle also was dominated for much 190 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,199 Speaker 1: of the game by Washington's defense. I think you'll forget 191 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: the numbers. Washington played its best defensive outing of the season. 192 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: I think they did until the end. Here's the thing 193 00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: up until the end, and I'll tell you why. The 194 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 1: first ten draw I was for Seattle generated zero points 195 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 1: and all that all that Seattle had was Russell Wilson 196 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,319 Speaker 1: running around. But you just can't. You have to find 197 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,559 Speaker 1: a way to get to him to really to really 198 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: squelsh this offense. And he was set free, ran great today, 199 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: He extended plays, and it was one of these games 200 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,319 Speaker 1: that looked like it was gonna end up like, you know, 201 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: ten to two or something until both teams had these 202 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: drives at the end of the game. And Washington's offense 203 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: is the one that could not get on track at 204 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: all against Seattle's defense until that final drive. They only 205 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 1: had a dred and thirty five yards the last couple 206 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: of drives, But then they got the ball move and 207 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,079 Speaker 1: when it when it mattered, And you know what the 208 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: Seahawks have, You said, you know what do they have? 209 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 1: They have a team that's built to win close, low 210 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 1: scoring games, and when you have your kicker missed three 211 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: field goals, that whole plan kind of goes out the windows. 212 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: So they're they're a defensive team in theory without a 213 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: running game and now with a kicker who might have 214 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: the yips. I had a not in my stomach throughout 215 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: the end of that game because there were two separate 216 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,319 Speaker 1: portions of the game where it looked like Blair Walsh 217 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: was going to be kicking for his career. First when 218 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 1: Seattle scored the go ahead touchdown, and then when they 219 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: got the ball back and got it inside the forty 220 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: where it looked like they would have a chance to 221 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,839 Speaker 1: tie the game. And then they take a bad sack 222 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 1: on a play in which a rare There was a 223 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 1: little sloppy Seattle's execution at the end of that game, 224 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: both in terms of their their clock management and then 225 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: um the decision by Russell Wilson to try to get 226 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,319 Speaker 1: off another plane instead of spiking the ball, which led 227 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: to that sack, which basically ended any chance of of 228 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 1: a comeback for the Seahawks. And I know and Seahawks 229 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: fans get mad at me because I've been having some 230 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: fun with the with them on Twitter because they're a 231 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:41,199 Speaker 1: little sensitive um about saying the Legion of Boom is 232 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: kind of the the Heyday I think they said. I 233 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: said they were literally dead last week, which was a 234 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: little hyperbolic in retrospect. But he's still having fun um 235 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: even with the all Thomas out of this game and 236 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: he was hurt hamstring injury. The Legion of Boom should 237 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: not be giving up uh four place seventy yard drive 238 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 1: with a game on the line in your building. You 239 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,079 Speaker 1: cannot let that happen. It's the kind of loss that 240 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: me I I really to always you cannot do anything 241 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: but trust Pete Carroll in this group to find a 242 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: way to get get it back on its feet and 243 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 1: get back into the playoffs. But it's a concerning loss 244 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: for me because Washington has not been a team that 245 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 1: has been a consistent like you're gonna go into Seattle 246 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: and knock him out this way well, with missing three 247 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: or four offensive lineman missing Jamison Crowder Rights and Jordan Read. 248 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,599 Speaker 1: It was a great gutty performance by Kirk Cousins to 249 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 1: make do with what he had, including the first throw 250 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: on that game winning drive when he got hit. Dwight 251 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 1: Freeney's having a game for the Seahawks, like it looks 252 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 1: like it's insane. He comes off the bed and then 253 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 1: the touchdown to Dockson. I mean, it's not the Legion 254 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: of Boom anymore, because the whole idea of the Legion 255 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 1: of Boom was all the pieces are strong, and like 256 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,599 Speaker 1: they just have a guy Shack Griffin out on the 257 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 1: right corner right there and they're playing bump and run 258 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 1: at the end of the game, which the NBC you 259 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: know guys, pointed out, It's like, why do you have 260 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 1: Shack Griffin? Why are you trusting him one on one 261 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 1: in that scenario? And Dockson, who's we've been waiting for 262 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,599 Speaker 1: him to make plays like this that wasn't It was 263 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,559 Speaker 1: a couple of incredible plays by Cousins and Dockson. We've 264 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,439 Speaker 1: seen a few hints of dots in it, and it 265 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: today it materialized I will say there are two best 266 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,839 Speaker 1: performances in this game that I saw were Zach Brown 267 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: for Washington and Bobby Wagner for Seattle. And fascinating performance 268 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 1: by Bobby Wagner lights out. If you love yeah, if 269 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: you like defensive football. There from minute one, these teams 270 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 1: were really hitting each other. It was a fun game. 271 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,599 Speaker 1: It was a funny second the second minute, like the 272 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 1: first second of the game. You said, minute one. Now 273 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: the first minute, I was everyone's kind of feeling each 274 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: other out. Think it was send the first minute clicked 275 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,679 Speaker 1: in correct? This I mean, if I was you know, 276 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,439 Speaker 1: this might have been you know, started the show material 277 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: this game. This was a sneaky fun game of the year. 278 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: I was I was going first of all, Legion of 279 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: boom ended when Brandon Browner left the team obviously uh 280 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 1: number two. I was going to make this the lead game, 281 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 1: but then I didn't want to hurt your feelings, Gig, 282 00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 1: because it's all going down back into the cellar. He goes, well, 283 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,559 Speaker 1: where it's been a great run. Um, you know this 284 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,839 Speaker 1: this team of item. It doesn't really make sense that 285 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 1: I'm a coach of a team of locks. But we're 286 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: looking ahead to next season. Were already. It's this like 287 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 1: when Kyle Shanahan ruled out the two thousand twelve. But yes, 288 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 1: that was just so unlike you because when you look 289 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 1: at actual football teams, they could be three and six 290 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 1: right now and you'd say, no, no, no, there's weeks 291 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: to go, if not months to go, but you've already 292 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 1: founted out your team. It's over. You want to you 293 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: want I want to see more resiliency from you know 294 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 1: what you're doing real life at to Las Vegas. Yeah, 295 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 1: as soon as well. We don't say that around here, 296 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: but he would go for a drive into the desert 297 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: and he'd say, I gotta get this back, and that's 298 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: when it gets dangerous. That was, by the way, nice 299 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 1: comeback by Washington. Wasn't Mark come Basterals except come back 300 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 1: Colinals Barces, come back, Curtinals with bark cler come back, 301 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 1: Colonels with bar Sessler, come back, Curlose with Bark Sessler, 302 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: come back Clinos with Barcessless come back. Let's move on 303 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: third down, thirty three, nine and a half to go. 304 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 1: Bubble screen left side, Robert looks charging head forty five 305 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 1: bricks inside quart Robert woods first down twenty turn five 306 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: touchdown dark days for the gen moon. J Blong KESPN 307 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: with the call. Jared got through for a career high 308 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: four touchdown passes, including that little miracle of an ineptitude 309 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: to Robert Woods, and the Rams cruised to a shocking, 310 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 1: leasy seventeen win over the Giants, who appear headed toward 311 00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 1: a major offseason facelift. Let's now welcome the man, the myth, 312 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 1: the legend gets. He gets a pumping and whenever he 313 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 1: can that is it grotesque sound? Every case? Shuck? He 314 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 1: gets pumping at the job. It sounds like he's working 315 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: in the metal shop or something that was ear poison. Um, yes, 316 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: Nick Shook is here? What's up? Shook? The Rams have 317 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: won five out of six and are off to their 318 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: best eight game starts. It's two thousand one went to 319 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 1: the super Bowl that year. Why shouldn't we buy in 320 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: on a team that could be this explosive on both 321 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 1: sides of the ball? Wait? Why shouldn't we buy Why not? 322 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 1: Why shouldn't we? Yeah? I agree, I mean a total 323 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: buy in. Yeah, I'm going all in. I'm pushing all 324 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 1: the chips in. I might be the last one on 325 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: the table and I might have the lowest percentage of 326 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 1: winning and not know that yet, but I'm going all 327 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: the way in because today, Wow, okay, the Rams one 328 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 1: and all phases, cards, talking cards, all three phases of 329 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: the game. The Rams dominate it. And I know the 330 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: Giants are the Giants, and it's it's a it's a 331 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 1: spooky year for them, as you kind of alluded to there, 332 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 1: But the Rams took care of business in a game 333 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: that you know, very easily. They could not have if 334 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 1: they were the Rams team that we saw last year, 335 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 1: or a team that maybe he was more of a 336 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: pretender than a contender. But today, I mean they they 337 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: simply dominated in every phase of the game. And they've 338 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 1: already outscored last year's Rams team by like thirty by, 339 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 1: which is like a month worth of Jeff Fisher offensive ball. 340 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,679 Speaker 1: You know, you mentioned all the points for the Rams, 341 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 1: all the great defensive plays. You know, one thing I 342 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 1: didn't see today, It was in my Twitter mentions, none 343 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 1: of those little chucklers saying, oh that the team of 344 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 1: around the NFL curve, So you guys are very chucklers. 345 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: It's it's team out of one loss, you know, since 346 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,679 Speaker 1: we took them on and then they're rallying and they 347 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:59,440 Speaker 1: haven't lost since, so back off that very sorry, Nick, 348 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,919 Speaker 1: You're good. I'll stay on the soapbox please by all 349 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,160 Speaker 1: means to defend them. The weird thing about this game 350 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: was the Rams had dominated in total yards, but a 351 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 1: lot of the stats were really close, like they both 352 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 1: teams were on third down conversions, time of possession, the 353 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 1: ramsoling one that by thirty seconds. But the big difference 354 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 1: was the turnover battle, which is you know that sunk 355 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 1: the Giants are most of the year. We have a 356 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 1: chuckler by the way, satellite it's Jenny chuckles. Hey, Gregory, 357 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 1: you're right. We should have never counted out the Rams. 358 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 1: Now you are the true table ideas him down I 359 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 1: want to see. I'm so glad we could have brought 360 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: him in via satellite technology. Thank you, Johnny. It's amazing. 361 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 1: I mean, Jared goffling through passing this game. This is 362 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,640 Speaker 1: about about a month straight of work for Jared goff 363 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 1: where he doesn't even need to throw because his defense 364 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 1: is running game. Everything else is doing So do you 365 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 1: recall that episode of Hard Knocks last year when they 366 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: were in camp and Jeff Fisher, I think he was 367 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: talking to listen and it might have been somebody else about. 368 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 1: He was watching Jared Goff throw and he thaw this 369 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,680 Speaker 1: this touchdown pasted practice, and oh you know that's a 370 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 1: big time throw right there. His touchdown past to Sammy 371 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: Watkins was that yeah, time throw that we really haven't 372 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,119 Speaker 1: seen for him until now. That's that's that's true. And 373 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 1: the Giants, meanwhile, are a total mess. Um a game 374 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 1: that was over by the half in the metal Lands. 375 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: It's just a really bad look after the game. Uh. 376 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 1: Ben McAdoo had to face the press. Those coaches have 377 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 1: to do. Uh. And he was asked what what he 378 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 1: told the team at halftime. Let's here how McAdoo responded, Um, 379 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,399 Speaker 1: what did you say to them at halftime? Um? Filed 380 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 1: by ten seconds. And now let's isolate the sound. Lindsay, 381 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,919 Speaker 1: uh and and listen again. Oh no, this guy's in trouble. 382 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 1: This guy's in serious trouble. Greg. We had a conversation 383 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 1: he downstairs that that you think he'll he'll be okay. 384 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 1: I think Ben McAdoo is in deep, deep, deep doo doo. 385 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: And this is the type of loss that gets coaches fired. 386 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 1: I think he'll make it to the end of the year. 387 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,120 Speaker 1: But I would be really surprised if he's back after 388 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,440 Speaker 1: this season. This season has gone into a dark place. Well, first, 389 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,640 Speaker 1: they have half the season to go, so that will 390 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,880 Speaker 1: obviously play an impact how that half season plays out. 391 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 1: I just think the Giants historically are very patient. He's 392 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 1: coached for two years. In one of those two years 393 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: he was a surprise playoff team, So just judging by 394 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: their track record, I would think they would give him 395 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: another chance. I mean, I I think that also the 396 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 1: finger has to be pointed towards the front office that 397 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: has refused for seasons on end to fix an offensive 398 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 1: line that has doomed their aging quarterback and the pieces 399 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 1: around him. Yeah, I think I think the blame centers 400 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 1: on Jerry Rees. I mean as much as we can 401 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 1: say McAdoo, you know, maybe lost his team, right or 402 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 1: his guys have quit on him, and and you know 403 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: they've dealt with a lot of injury, right and generics 404 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 1: Jenkins is suspended and Olivia Vernon has been hurt. But 405 00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,880 Speaker 1: the reality is you go look, you know, in the box, 406 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,400 Speaker 1: or you can look at the long catch. Everyone has 407 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,120 Speaker 1: all right. Robert Woods fifty two, Sammy Watkins sixty seven, 408 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,919 Speaker 1: Cooper Cup thirty five, Todd Gurley forty four, Gerald Everett 409 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 1: forty four. That's five plays of thirty five yards or 410 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 1: more that this Giant's defense, which was supposed to be 411 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 1: the bad rock of the team, they've stuck this year 412 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,160 Speaker 1: and it's been bad defense a flip side. The Rams 413 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:24,439 Speaker 1: have not given up more than seventeen points since October first, 414 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: and they they're coming off at thirty three to nothing, 415 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 1: shut out of the Cardinals and look great again today. 416 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 1: We could be talking team of a t L in Minnesota. 417 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 1: We got a chance that this is a Super Bowl contender. 418 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 1: You mean in week eleven? No, I mean there make 419 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. They're one of the best teams in 420 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 1: the NFL. Like we should be brought out for the 421 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,440 Speaker 1: Super Bowl like coin toss. If that happens, I'm just saying, 422 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:52,120 Speaker 1: I'll just throw it out right. So the Giants go down. 423 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 1: The Rams are now six and two. What was going 424 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 1: on with the division leaders in the NFC East. Let's 425 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 1: check in. First of ten Lentz comes back to a 426 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 1: Giant again and he said the corner, he's the third, 427 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,919 Speaker 1: at the twenty, at the fifteen ten five he dones 428 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:13,919 Speaker 1: and he is and for the touchdown, he first touchdown 429 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: as an Eagle, a forty six yard explosion by j 430 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 1: A giant the great Merrill ree of w I P 431 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: with the call. J j I started his Eagles career 432 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 1: with a bang, and the Eagles brought the Rocky Mountain 433 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:30,400 Speaker 1: Avalanche to its knees a fifty one twenty three win. 434 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 1: Mark Carson Wentz through for four more touchdowns. Uh he 435 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: now has an NFL best twenty three for the season. 436 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 1: He's got seventeen the last five games. The m v 437 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 1: P drumbeat is getting louder, and the Eagles look like 438 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,920 Speaker 1: the team to beat in the NFC. Well, the way 439 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,879 Speaker 1: that they're winning games right now is very reminiscent of 440 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: dominant old NFC teams that were built to thrash opponents 441 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,159 Speaker 1: down the stretch. And they have a deep and versatile backfield. 442 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 1: And but let's start with Carson Wentz because what we 443 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 1: saw today was a continuation of the high moments we've 444 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: seen this whole season, where he's drawing a very good 445 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 1: Broncos defense offsides multiple times in the first half with 446 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: his cadence, his pre snap reads. The guy can make 447 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 1: every type of throw. He's aggressive. He had a couple 448 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: throws today where he he threw it right into Denver 449 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:20,880 Speaker 1: secondary and he put it right in the window where 450 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: only the receiver could get it, and it was just 451 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,360 Speaker 1: absolutely no let up. And then so there they were 452 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 1: so dominant there in the fight. By the time they 453 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,680 Speaker 1: get a halftime, you then are allowed to take Carson 454 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 1: Wentz essentially out of the game plan to some degree. 455 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 1: He's handing the ball off to Jagi, to Corey Clement, 456 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,159 Speaker 1: to le Garrett Blunt, and they are all hammering Denver's defense, 457 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 1: which is tired out by the second half, and you 458 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,439 Speaker 1: get a fifty one to twenty three. You scored fifty 459 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 1: one points on the Denver Broncos defense, and not a 460 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: single item about that was amras do because they they 461 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: you know what, there's a lot of sloppy football, and 462 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: there's a lot of water down teams. This is the 463 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,959 Speaker 1: opposite right now, which is wild because it was kind 464 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 1: of unexpected from them. I mean, I think so I 465 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: had him as my NFC East champs. There's people saying 466 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 1: that Doug East for the past five years exactly, if 467 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 1: you pick the Eagles in the Saints every year, you're 468 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 1: gonna get it right and This is that year, big 469 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,680 Speaker 1: year for Greg and the Paths back in first place 470 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 1: in the ANFC East. Everything's coming alight. It is unexpected, 471 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,920 Speaker 1: but we expected this defense to be good. The surprise 472 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: is that the Broncos defense caved in so much. You 473 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,639 Speaker 1: have to give credit to Wentz and Dan. You've been 474 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: pumping up the Wentz MVP bandwagon, and I think this 475 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:36,880 Speaker 1: is the week where now I'm taking it. I'm taking 476 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 1: it more seriously if you can, if you can cave 477 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: in a Broncos defense, it really haven't all year. This 478 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 1: was two and fifty yards in the first half against 479 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 1: his defense, and you've got a chance. Well, on the 480 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 1: flip side, you had Broncos swidler, and I guess for me, 481 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: the question was, I can't believe it. There you go 482 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 1: and like it's I don't know. I know you needed 483 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,719 Speaker 1: to sit Trevor Simeon and really kind of reset him, 484 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 1: But what did you expect to get with Broadcostlar was 485 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,120 Speaker 1: gonna be? So I think they I bet they kind 486 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 1: of expected this, maybe a little better, but I think 487 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:09,160 Speaker 1: very much, either Trevor Simeon or whether it's Paxiston Lynch 488 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 1: next week or the week after, Uh, they just needed 489 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:13,920 Speaker 1: something and they put off while they're paying them, So 490 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 1: we need you in a spot here. And of course 491 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 1: he fell on his face because he's not not a 492 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:21,119 Speaker 1: good quarterback. I during the telecast, they mentioned that they 493 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 1: had talked to people inside the building that didn't feel 494 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 1: like Paxiston Lynch healthwise was going to be back next week, 495 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,400 Speaker 1: and they weren't sure when. But I think as soon 496 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,119 Speaker 1: as he's available, you get him in there because and 497 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,440 Speaker 1: we you know, we did talk about Denver as a 498 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 1: team where you could wind up seeing all these quarterbacks 499 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 1: at some point, and that's exactly what's gonna happen. I 500 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 1: mean there, it's shocking to me how much they've collapsed. 501 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 1: When we were when they were at four and one 502 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 1: or three and one, was it we we're thinking them 503 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,920 Speaker 1: as a potential Super Bowl type it. They all changed 504 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football when the Giants who had nothing, no Odell, Beckham, 505 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,160 Speaker 1: no hope came came in that building and just blew 506 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:57,920 Speaker 1: the doors off him. And at the time it just 507 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,440 Speaker 1: seemed weird, But now that turned out to a team 508 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,239 Speaker 1: that was just about to fall off the cliff themselves. Uh, 509 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 1: let's move on first and tent on the eleven of 510 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 1: San Francisco. Shotgun snap Stanton straight drop back, looks right, 511 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: froze right in the end, so it is caught for 512 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 1: a touchdown. Two touchdown passes and the first half for 513 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,199 Speaker 1: Drew Stanton. Yes, Drew Stanton through two touch on passes. 514 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson a career high thirty seven rushes for a 515 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty nine yards in the Arizona Cardinals had 516 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 1: a ten win over the forty Niners, who have Jimmy 517 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 1: Garoppolo on the sideline but still do not possess a 518 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,159 Speaker 1: single win. Mark that race for number one between the 519 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,120 Speaker 1: Niners and Browns back to back years. It's coming down 520 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 1: to the wire. It's gonna be exciting well, and I 521 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,160 Speaker 1: think it will be an interesting moment for Browns Fans 522 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 1: might get in the mix here. They might win going 523 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 1: for it when thety Niners have Garoppolo and they also 524 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,680 Speaker 1: win the number one pick and Kyle Shanahan refuses to 525 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 1: do business with Cleveland if they tried to shade up 526 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 1: for some quarterback because Kyle Shanahan cannot stand the Cleveland 527 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: Browns took We all wrote off the Cardinals after Carson 528 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: Palmer went down but there four and four, how about that? Yeah, 529 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 1: but it's the Niners. I mean, I don't I'm not 530 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,639 Speaker 1: a big You were trying to you were trying to 531 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 1: support the Niners for a while there. Yeah, it was 532 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 1: because their defense had played well, uh in a few 533 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,399 Speaker 1: weeks until they played the Cowboys, and they've kind of 534 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 1: fallen apart since then. They only allowed twenty points today. 535 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 1: But this Cardinals team, there's a reason that they ran 536 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 1: the ball thirty seven times. They dream Peterson because they 537 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,440 Speaker 1: have Drew Stanton at quarterback. And I'm sorry, but I 538 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 1: wouldn't believe in Drew Stanton as far as I could 539 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: throw him as with. You know that's very far. No, 540 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:38,399 Speaker 1: that's not that far. Hundred fifty nine yards. For you 541 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,160 Speaker 1: math wizards are pretty good arm out there in the outfield, 542 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 1: you know you could throw it. Yeah, but this is 543 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: not This is not a baseball. This is a human man. 544 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 1: I do have a ring throwing that out there for 545 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,920 Speaker 1: your math wizards at home. That's four point three yards 546 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 1: per carry, which I did not do the math for 547 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 1: work at that off NFL dot com. Thank you, uh man. 548 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 1: They do this because you don't gonna throw the ball. 549 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 1: I mean, they know that's gonna turn in, it's gonna 550 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,120 Speaker 1: result in turnovers, it's gonna put them out of the game. 551 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 1: And right now they're trying to figure out ways to 552 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,440 Speaker 1: win the game with the limited options that they have. 553 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 1: And really, and this is the Niners and speaking about now, 554 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,359 Speaker 1: not the Cardinals. Uh, and really they still have to 555 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 1: learn how to win games. So what you have right 556 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 1: here in the in this game with two teams who 557 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,919 Speaker 1: know that they're both limited to an extent, the Cardinals 558 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 1: with more talent on offense, but with a quarterback who's 559 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,879 Speaker 1: not good, who's a backup, and the Niners with an 560 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,400 Speaker 1: equally bad quarterback and C. J. Beathard who surprise, surprise, 561 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 1: for yet another day, was hit over twenty times exactly. 562 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 1: So if you want to sit back and ask why 563 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 1: why aren't they playing Jimmy Garoppolo when they just traded 564 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 1: for him, Well, perhaps it's because they don't want to 565 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 1: see him get destroyed. I mean that's watching this game, 566 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 1: and I was keeping an eye on it because of 567 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 1: the whole draft pick thing, but I mean the beating 568 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 1: that he took you, I really do wonder if I mean, 569 00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 1: it's like there's and they're stuck because you have to 570 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 1: put Jimmy g in there to see what you have 571 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 1: and maybe you know, to try to win. But maybe 572 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,719 Speaker 1: it's difference between if if he's this good, between when 573 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,959 Speaker 1: you have Tom Savage in Houston and you have Deshaun Watson. 574 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 1: Everything changes when Garoppolo gets near. But why do you 575 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: assume that the Fortnighters are trying to win? Aren't they 576 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 1: in a full scale rebuild? I'm sure they want a win, 577 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 1: and that's my thing. What what are you gonna put 578 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 1: that guy? What are you gonna put Garoppolo in there for? What? 579 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 1: You really want to win? Two games? You want to 580 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 1: make by that logic though you know you're not playing 581 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: any of your best players, Well, you need to see 582 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 1: what you have if you're gonna at some point. Yeah, 583 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:34,800 Speaker 1: I would expect him to start next week. I have 584 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 1: no information. No one said anything, but to me, it 585 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 1: would be weird if he's not starting, you know, if 586 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 1: not this week then next I can see him starting 587 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 1: after the bye week, which isn't you here yet for? Then? Um, 588 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: Nick Schuck, you have come in, You've you've hit a 589 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 1: home run, three run shot right over the left fielder's head. Uh, 590 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 1: you just love having This is a weird drop this. 591 00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 1: I mean, it's too long, there's too much grunting that 592 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 1: little bit right there. You're telling me I had to 593 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 1: put it together today and I was sitting in here 594 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 1: editing it and always looking at me like there's something 595 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,719 Speaker 1: that's really wrong. What is Lindsay listening to right now? 596 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 1: This is the word created this. Lindsay has an email 597 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 1: from HR tomorrow morning. I love that Lindsay created that. 598 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 1: She did it from hind of. Lindsay faults and all right, 599 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 1: let's play him out. Let's play him out, Nick, Chuck, 600 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 1: thank you for stopping mind Now you got to get 601 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 1: a pump in it. Spies and tries day. We're going 602 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 1: back to this sound effect. Oh we're gonna be listening 603 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:43,240 Speaker 1: to this. Um. Thank you, Nick. Let's move on. Snapped 604 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 1: to Ryan Matt Pumps Bros. Looking for Jones. He's wide 605 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 1: open and he dropped it. Hit him in the hands, 606 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,960 Speaker 1: he fell down, the ball bounce away and complete. West 607 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 1: Durham of w z G with the call. Julio Jones's 608 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 1: wide open end zone drop was a perfect to for 609 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 1: for what's quickly becoming a lost season for the defending 610 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 1: NFC champion Falcons, who stubbled on offense yet again and 611 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 1: lost to the Panthers in Charlotte. Greg Jones drop was 612 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 1: an absolute killer. But it's not all on that one play. 613 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 1: This is a continued issue with the Falcons that just 614 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 1: don't score it up point. It's it's not on that play, 615 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 1: but just even hearing the radio call makes it lose 616 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 1: a little context. It's fourth in seven right there, and 617 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 1: they know the coverage that they're gonna get, and they 618 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,840 Speaker 1: know that play is gonna be open deep, and they decide, 619 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 1: you know what, we're the Falcons. We got Matt Ryan, 620 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 1: we got Julio Jones, let's go for it. The exact 621 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 1: same play literally was wide open in the first quarter 622 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 1: on the first drive in the game and Matt Ryan 623 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 1: overthrew him. So here it is, this is gonna turn 624 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 1: the game around, and Julio Jones drops it. So two 625 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 1: times today you can't blame Steve Sarkisi. And you have 626 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,680 Speaker 1: the exact perfect play dialed up and the two best 627 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 1: players on your whole team, Matt Ryan and Julio Jones, 628 00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,840 Speaker 1: botch it. So do you when you look at it 629 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 1: in his offense right now? Do you what last year's 630 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan. Is it that was just a one year 631 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 1: thing and that's not really who he is, because this 632 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 1: is much more like the Matt Ryan of two years ago, 633 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 1: and much more like Matt Ryan of other seasons that 634 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 1: we've seen. Well, the frustrating thing if you were a 635 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 1: Falcons fan is they look so close for so many 636 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 1: big chunks of this game where they they're moving the ball. 637 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 1: They start with the game upten nothing. It's late in 638 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,840 Speaker 1: the second quarter, they're holding onto the ball and for 639 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 1: the most part you see good things, but then they 640 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 1: just kind of make the plays that make you lose games. 641 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:35,600 Speaker 1: And at the very end of the game they had 642 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 1: just scored a touchdown to cut it to three, they 643 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 1: get the ball back and it feels like, okay, maybe 644 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,320 Speaker 1: for once the Falcons are the ones that are gonna 645 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 1: give a little heartbreak out. And what do they do. 646 00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 1: They go four and out. They don't even get a 647 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,479 Speaker 1: first down. They give up that pressure. That's I mean, 648 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 1: as sure a sign as any of that something is 649 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 1: no longer right with that offense. And maybe they'll never 650 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 1: be as right as they were last year, but certainly 651 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,120 Speaker 1: something is off. I mean, look at it this way. 652 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,560 Speaker 1: Julio Jones. Everyone was talking about it last week and 653 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:03,360 Speaker 1: it was popping up and even popped up in our 654 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,640 Speaker 1: NFL media research notes how there had been all these 655 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 1: other lesser receivers and even running backs that had more 656 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:12,480 Speaker 1: targets than Julio Jones. This season, he was targeted twelve times, 657 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 1: which is a lot today six catches, four and eighteen. 658 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,320 Speaker 1: But that drop, I mean, that's the difference between winning 659 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 1: and losing games. And sometimes the team just doesn't have 660 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 1: the juice and you wonder if this team is just 661 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:24,800 Speaker 1: it's just not gonna happen this year. I see their 662 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 1: season completely on the brink because you come out of 663 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 1: this and you have to deal next week with the Cowboys, 664 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 1: after that the Seahawks. You sold the Vikings and the 665 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 1: Saints twice on this schedule, and I just don't see 666 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,080 Speaker 1: them as a better team than any of those teams. 667 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 1: I thought they could maybe help start to turn their 668 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 1: season around because I thought offensively overall, they were pretty 669 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 1: good in New Jersey last week and that you know, 670 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 1: if you could get a road win like this, it 671 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 1: was going in that direction. You've got to give the 672 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:53,239 Speaker 1: Panthers a lot of credit, who win ugly. I mean 673 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 1: the The key sequence of the game was its second 674 00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 1: and two in the second quarter, Falcons are just rolling 675 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 1: and they stone the Palkins three straight running plays. And 676 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,080 Speaker 1: then after that it was like the Falcons were afraid 677 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,280 Speaker 1: to run the ball. It's like they totally gave up. 678 00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,040 Speaker 1: And the Panthers, meanwhile, they had their best running day. 679 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 1: And I don't know how many years over two hundred 680 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:14,319 Speaker 1: yards rushing they've given up on the whole. Hey, let's 681 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,399 Speaker 1: not put Cam in harm's way. Cam running the ball 682 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:19,800 Speaker 1: is main is their main offense, I mean, and and 683 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,359 Speaker 1: in the running that came with McCaffrey was mostly off 684 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,680 Speaker 1: of Cam faking them out or read option or something. 685 00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,239 Speaker 1: And maybe that's the best thing for because if you 686 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 1: added up twenty four carriers for almost a hundred and 687 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 1: fifty yards or just over a hundred fift yards between 688 00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:35,839 Speaker 1: the two of them, Cam alone nine for eight six 689 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,560 Speaker 1: and a touch, they finally had something of a running game. 690 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,560 Speaker 1: Maybe that's just what it is with this team for 691 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:44,120 Speaker 1: it to they have the special season where they were 692 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 1: getting more help from other players, but Cam is always 693 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,200 Speaker 1: going to be the focal point of this team. Yeah, 694 00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,319 Speaker 1: it's it feels I I see the two hundred one 695 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:54,200 Speaker 1: yards don't sustainable. Yeah, it's exactly, and I don't I 696 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,439 Speaker 1: still don't buy that as a reason to trade away 697 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 1: Kelvin Benjamin. That's a trade that's still I think it 698 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,080 Speaker 1: is mysterious to the three of Ernest Samuel lad the 699 00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,799 Speaker 1: team in snaps today, but he only had it's so fast, 700 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,239 Speaker 1: they're so fast now without Kevin Benjamin. By the way, 701 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 1: Cam Newton was asked after the game, Um, what it 702 00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,960 Speaker 1: was like, you know, to to not have his former 703 00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:16,000 Speaker 1: number one wide receiver who's now in Buffalo. Of course, yeah, 704 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,759 Speaker 1: we just lost a great player. But nevertheless, you know 705 00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:24,920 Speaker 1: the Titanics too, that has to go. I mean, it 706 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,640 Speaker 1: was stupid, is what stupid does. So you know, it 707 00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,040 Speaker 1: was a poor choice of words. Maybe he didn't. Maybe 708 00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:32,759 Speaker 1: he only watched the first half of titan It's not 709 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,560 Speaker 1: hook That is not a poor choice of words. Joke, 710 00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:41,600 Speaker 1: it's a joke. Titanic off. Everybody. Everybody was always looking 711 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,320 Speaker 1: at Kim. Give him a pass. Yeah, you bettern't know 712 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:46,799 Speaker 1: what the Titanic? What happened the Titanic? Come on, man, 713 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,600 Speaker 1: he cut out of that film. When DiCaprio was painting 714 00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 1: hate Winslett and thought everything is wonderful from hearing or 715 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,600 Speaker 1: there is the other way to look at it is 716 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,000 Speaker 1: that cam Newton knows exactly what the Titanic is all about. 717 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,239 Speaker 1: He knows that it's the greatest seafaring tragic d of 718 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:04,840 Speaker 1: all time um or of at least century, and he 719 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,800 Speaker 1: believes that the Panthers are a doomed ship. I like this, 720 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:11,719 Speaker 1: You're just like that. You're hinting at much darker seafaring 721 00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,200 Speaker 1: incidents from before our century. I don't want to get 722 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 1: into that right now. This is a family podcast. But 723 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 1: this maybe he knows that the Panthers, even though they're 724 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,279 Speaker 1: six and three, they're not going anywhere. So just keeping early, 725 00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,879 Speaker 1: very honest coming. In which case I take everything back 726 00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:29,080 Speaker 1: X level. I respect them, Okay. Luke Kickley, by the way, 727 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:32,040 Speaker 1: was insane, and Thomas Davis was insane, and James Bradberry 728 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,080 Speaker 1: had a really good game overall, And it's like this defense. 729 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,080 Speaker 1: If they can figure some things out, I think they 730 00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:39,480 Speaker 1: have enough ingredients where they could be a little more inspiring. 731 00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:41,200 Speaker 1: They're gonna have like eight They're gonna have like five 732 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:44,720 Speaker 1: more games that finish. That's who this team is before 733 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:46,759 Speaker 1: they sank to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. That 734 00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:52,600 Speaker 1: has to go. Let's uh move on. Maybe an opportunity 735 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:58,440 Speaker 1: for return if it's his longest punt return as a Saint, 736 00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:03,440 Speaker 1: just seventeen yards because Saints and blocked and taking it 737 00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,480 Speaker 1: in for the touchdown. Coming through cleanly to do so 738 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,759 Speaker 1: is Justin Hardy and the Saints are celebrating at the 739 00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,160 Speaker 1: back of the end zone. Build that man a statue. 740 00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:15,719 Speaker 1: Put it in front of the Superdome. Jim Henderson w 741 00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,879 Speaker 1: w L with the call. The Saints had it all 742 00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:22,320 Speaker 1: clicking at the Superdome and it started with that punt return, 743 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,440 Speaker 1: punt block and recovery for a touchdown by Justin Hardy, 744 00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:29,279 Speaker 1: a thirty to ten win over the listless Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 745 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,560 Speaker 1: That's six straight wins for the Saints, who delivered one 746 00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:34,840 Speaker 1: of the most one of the most balanced all around 747 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:38,000 Speaker 1: efforts you'll see from any team in a game this season. Greg, 748 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,480 Speaker 1: we did our Sky Sports hit, which I hope everyone's 749 00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,000 Speaker 1: been tracking. We do one in the morning before the 750 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,000 Speaker 1: early kickoff, and then we do one after the late 751 00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:49,560 Speaker 1: games conclude. Um and I said it there. If you 752 00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,400 Speaker 1: go and watch the game pass, you'll see the Saints 753 00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,839 Speaker 1: are playing as well as a team can play. Uh 754 00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:59,839 Speaker 1: special teams. We just heard that with Hardy running the football. Uh, 755 00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:04,120 Speaker 1: both Alvin Kamara and mark Ingram Uh they combined to 756 00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,440 Speaker 1: average over five and a half yards per rush. Drew Brees. 757 00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:11,800 Speaker 1: Drew Brees, he completed over his passes and the defense 758 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:15,920 Speaker 1: completely uh shut down the Bucks and knocked Jamis Winston 759 00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:20,120 Speaker 1: out of this game. So the Saints are on fire, right. 760 00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:24,839 Speaker 1: Two hundred yards for the Bucks and and Camara. I mean, 761 00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:28,000 Speaker 1: I know we were talking Carson Wentz for m v P, 762 00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,040 Speaker 1: but I don't know when you put up a hundred 763 00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:32,480 Speaker 1: and fifty yards from scrimmage as a rookie and then 764 00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,560 Speaker 1: after after the game you wear a cash Money Records 765 00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:37,840 Speaker 1: T shirt. I think put Alvin Camara in the m 766 00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:41,960 Speaker 1: v P discussion rookie of the Well, did you catch 767 00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:43,880 Speaker 1: that part about the cash Yeah, it was really it 768 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:45,920 Speaker 1: was really the T shirt that put it over. But 769 00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:50,120 Speaker 1: that should that should change everything? Um? Yeah, the Saints 770 00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:53,680 Speaker 1: look at the look tremendous and uh should be definitely 771 00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:57,799 Speaker 1: taken seriously in the NFC. They they are for real. Uh. 772 00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,480 Speaker 1: The Bucks, on the other hand, they are my pick 773 00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:03,719 Speaker 1: for the most disappointing team in the league this year, 774 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,920 Speaker 1: and I feel like, uh, there two and six now 775 00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:10,480 Speaker 1: the season is essentially over a basic no show um 776 00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,560 Speaker 1: today and what should have been their season on the line. 777 00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,200 Speaker 1: And just like I was saying with Ben McAdoo, I 778 00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,920 Speaker 1: think Derk Cutter is in serious danger. Um. There was 779 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:24,120 Speaker 1: a part in this game where Winston had left. He 780 00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,120 Speaker 1: had reaggravated the shoulder injury on a hit in the 781 00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:30,279 Speaker 1: first half, so Ryan Fitzpatrick finished the game. And what 782 00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:34,160 Speaker 1: happened was he Winston on the sideline taps I'm trying 783 00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:37,279 Speaker 1: to think who was with it was Marshawn Lattimore. He 784 00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:38,960 Speaker 1: tapped him on the back of the helmet, came onto 785 00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:42,000 Speaker 1: the field even though he wasn't playing. Um. Lattimore turns 786 00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:46,160 Speaker 1: around and then Mike Evans speed. They had words on 787 00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,439 Speaker 1: the sidelines, so it looked like and then at full 788 00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:52,120 Speaker 1: speed Mike Evans crashes into Lattimore and decks him, leading 789 00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:55,120 Speaker 1: to a fight. Uh. Somehow, I have no idea. Even 790 00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:57,919 Speaker 1: the Fox cameras caught it. Like Mike Evans couldn't believe 791 00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,839 Speaker 1: he was only penalized for to play, but he'll get 792 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,560 Speaker 1: absolutely should have been ejected on a day where A J. 793 00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:07,200 Speaker 1: Green was ejected for nothing more offensive, it was equally right. 794 00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:11,440 Speaker 1: It was he wasn't. Well that's another game, we'll get 795 00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:14,239 Speaker 1: to it. But yeah, I thought that kind of typified, 796 00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:17,000 Speaker 1: Uh what how Cutter has kind of lost this team. 797 00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,840 Speaker 1: And then the thing that drives me crazy as a 798 00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:23,360 Speaker 1: football fan of my teams, like when something's going on 799 00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:26,080 Speaker 1: with with your team, and whether it's a discipline issue 800 00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:28,680 Speaker 1: or just the no show performance, Like a minute later, 801 00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,680 Speaker 1: they cut the Cutter on the sideline and he's emotionalless 802 00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,360 Speaker 1: and just staring straight ahead, and you, I'm sure he 803 00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,359 Speaker 1: saw lot going through his mind at the time, but hell, 804 00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:38,720 Speaker 1: I want my coach like down there getting in people's 805 00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:40,920 Speaker 1: faces because you didn't show up in the game. You're 806 00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:42,880 Speaker 1: getting embarrassed. I think it was thirty to three at 807 00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,720 Speaker 1: the time. And then your star players are both involved 808 00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,839 Speaker 1: in a completely needless skirmish. I mean, this was as 809 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:50,959 Speaker 1: bad a look as you could have for a team. 810 00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:54,320 Speaker 1: And this Buck season is just completely lost. And and 811 00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,919 Speaker 1: if anyone would have said in August that it would 812 00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:58,759 Speaker 1: have been Sean Payton in a game like this that 813 00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:00,840 Speaker 1: would have come out looking at this point in the season, 814 00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:04,279 Speaker 1: like he's got his complete mojo back. He said, he 815 00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,880 Speaker 1: looked his offense is a creative as any offense in 816 00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,160 Speaker 1: the league right now, the way he's using his running backs, 817 00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:12,000 Speaker 1: the way he's getting players that failed in other places 818 00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:15,080 Speaker 1: to shine. Right now. The Saints are a legit threat 819 00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:18,239 Speaker 1: in the NFC, and and he has what could be 820 00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:21,919 Speaker 1: the best defense that he's had since he's been there. 821 00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:25,640 Speaker 1: I love what Marshawn Lattimore said after the game, which 822 00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,880 Speaker 1: is he was he appreciated the fact that Mike Evans 823 00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:33,320 Speaker 1: was not ejected because he later made a pass breakup 824 00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:36,800 Speaker 1: on Mike Evans. Mike Evans was held to thirteen yards 825 00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:40,600 Speaker 1: on six targets, and he said he said he he 826 00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:42,680 Speaker 1: wanted Evans to stay and he says, he said, that's 827 00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:45,239 Speaker 1: how you retaliate to that on the field, we're not 828 00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:48,520 Speaker 1: on the streets. Yeah, that set him down on the street. 829 00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,360 Speaker 1: I love that quote, and I also think, and you know, 830 00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,040 Speaker 1: Evans seemed like a nice enough fellow on hard knocks, 831 00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:57,759 Speaker 1: but that kind of play and how strange and out 832 00:41:57,800 --> 00:41:59,279 Speaker 1: of noor it was. It looked like a play like 833 00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:00,880 Speaker 1: a guy who's done playing and wanted to go home, 834 00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:02,560 Speaker 1: like he was ready to go to locker room and 835 00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:04,719 Speaker 1: didn't want to compete anymore. It was like I quit 836 00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:06,759 Speaker 1: play and he's like waiting and get tossed and it 837 00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:08,560 Speaker 1: didn't happen. You know what we're getting from Greg here? 838 00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:12,799 Speaker 1: But this feeling inside of Greg's heart that he could 839 00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:17,160 Speaker 1: see a New England, New Orleans super Bowl his two teams, 840 00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:19,279 Speaker 1: that it's it's a tough spot for Greg. There's a 841 00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:24,040 Speaker 1: possibility that he could double down as a fan. That 842 00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:26,360 Speaker 1: wouldn't be tough, it would be great. Who droot for? 843 00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:31,560 Speaker 1: Come on, I'm what do we mean? Who all? It's 844 00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:33,680 Speaker 1: all gravy at this point and all that stuff with 845 00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:36,239 Speaker 1: the Patriots. I if I saw the Saints against the 846 00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:37,799 Speaker 1: team of a t L, I don't know who had 847 00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:44,000 Speaker 1: root for those are And one more note on this game. 848 00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:47,200 Speaker 1: Scary moment the third quarter Bucks defensive and William Golston. 849 00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:49,560 Speaker 1: Uh strange play. He was in a pass rush and 850 00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:51,920 Speaker 1: he kind of just collapsed to the turf and then 851 00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:54,200 Speaker 1: was motionless on the turf and it was, you know, 852 00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:57,000 Speaker 1: said to be a neck injury. He got a mobilized 853 00:42:57,040 --> 00:43:00,480 Speaker 1: stretchered off. But the good news is that, uh, it 854 00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:02,600 Speaker 1: doesn't appear to be too serious. But it was at 855 00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:05,839 Speaker 1: the moment a very kind of upsetting clearly to both 856 00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:08,680 Speaker 1: sides because of the nature of the injury. But good 857 00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:11,920 Speaker 1: news that it's not serious. Um. What is serious is 858 00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:19,040 Speaker 1: situation in Tampa and Yeah, Saints, they are a stud team. Greg, 859 00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:23,759 Speaker 1: I'm all the way in. Let's move on. Mariota rolls right, 860 00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:27,040 Speaker 1: looking back to the left. He fires man is White 861 00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:35,680 Speaker 1: upn Decker texted Titans Decker in the red zone, Mike 862 00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:38,880 Speaker 1: Keith w g f X with the call. Marcus Marcus 863 00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:42,200 Speaker 1: Mariota through for two eighteen yards, two scores, including that 864 00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:48,120 Speaker 1: important fourth quarter strike to Eric Decker, as Tennessee Titans 865 00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:53,560 Speaker 1: beat the Baltimore Ravens. That's three straight wins for the Tytoons. Um. 866 00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:58,640 Speaker 1: I had requested that miss Fulton cut that that touchdown 867 00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,839 Speaker 1: tossed because I was given it to Greg a little 868 00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:05,000 Speaker 1: bit downstairs in the newsroom. Because Greg had famously has 869 00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:08,600 Speaker 1: Marcus Mariotta ranked as the number ten quarterback this season. 870 00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:11,200 Speaker 1: The country has been buzzing about it. Yeah, the most 871 00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,960 Speaker 1: important news to happen all week. And Baltimore scored a 872 00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:17,240 Speaker 1: touchdown in the fourth quarter to get this within three points. 873 00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:21,319 Speaker 1: Even though Tennessee clearly was the superior team in this game. Uh. 874 00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:24,080 Speaker 1: And then they put the ensuing kickoff into the end zone. 875 00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:27,080 Speaker 1: So here comes the Tytoons on the field with Mariota 876 00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:29,080 Speaker 1: and I said, hey, you got a top ten quarterback, 877 00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:33,400 Speaker 1: sought this game away. And what did the Titans do? 878 00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,520 Speaker 1: They go straight down the field score that touchdown. Game 879 00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:41,160 Speaker 1: America heard, he heard, he literally heard me, and that's 880 00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:44,560 Speaker 1: why that happened. So that was a not a not 881 00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:47,759 Speaker 1: an all inspiring effort from the Titans. In fact, they 882 00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:49,520 Speaker 1: were out gained in the game three forty one to 883 00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:53,080 Speaker 1: fifty seven. I still have serious doubts about this offense. 884 00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:56,160 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry um excuse me to Marco Murray finally came 885 00:44:56,200 --> 00:45:00,200 Speaker 1: off the injury report and then had a knee and three. 886 00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:03,920 Speaker 1: So he's continuing to battle, uh, injury issues this year. 887 00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:06,400 Speaker 1: You don't know how much he has left. But the 888 00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:08,759 Speaker 1: Titoons get it done against the Ravens, who have now 889 00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:14,000 Speaker 1: lost three or four there four And Joe Flacco after 890 00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:17,319 Speaker 1: the game said, you can't play too much worse than 891 00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:19,719 Speaker 1: we've been playing. And I think that's true. I mean, 892 00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:21,920 Speaker 1: they think they won forty to nothing in the last game. 893 00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,040 Speaker 1: But I got it particularly impressive on Offen. I think 894 00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:27,000 Speaker 1: he's saying offensively and as a passing him. I think 895 00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:30,520 Speaker 1: that's true with a veteran group, which they mostly have. 896 00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:34,360 Speaker 1: It hasn't really been injuries on the offensive line, you know, 897 00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:36,120 Speaker 1: I guess they were. They were before the scenes, like, 898 00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:38,239 Speaker 1: I don't think you can play much worse than they're playing. 899 00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:41,279 Speaker 1: It's pretty wild. I watched the Ravens as bad, and 900 00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:45,680 Speaker 1: yet I'm still waiting to be ultra impressed by the Titans. 901 00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:49,759 Speaker 1: They did. They deviated from what what made me enjoy 902 00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:52,120 Speaker 1: them last year, which was just their power run game. 903 00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:54,200 Speaker 1: You don't have a single back with over twenty six 904 00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:57,000 Speaker 1: yards in this game for Tennessee. Is that how it 905 00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:00,359 Speaker 1: looked watching it, that they just simply couldn't move the ball. 906 00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:02,120 Speaker 1: It is not when you go back on game pass, 907 00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:04,360 Speaker 1: this is not going to be the game that sticks 908 00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:07,120 Speaker 1: with you. They just they just there wasn't a lot 909 00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:09,680 Speaker 1: of wow plays. I think they kind of just waited 910 00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:11,719 Speaker 1: out the Ravens and they got ahead. And then when 911 00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:15,120 Speaker 1: if you like Tennessee's twelve nine win over Cleveland, you'll 912 00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:18,279 Speaker 1: love this game. Yeah, And you know, the score even 913 00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:20,560 Speaker 1: looks a little closer than ended up because the Ravens 914 00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,279 Speaker 1: got a touchdown in the last minute, uh and then 915 00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:29,080 Speaker 1: failed on an onside kick. But you know, I mean 916 00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:31,440 Speaker 1: sometimes the game, what am I gonna say? I mean, Titans, 917 00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:33,239 Speaker 1: they did what they were supposed to do. But am 918 00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:35,680 Speaker 1: I still going nuts about even though you have appropriately 919 00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:39,320 Speaker 1: sold it to me? Mark and I were speaking, you know, 920 00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:41,719 Speaker 1: before the podcast. I think this is a common theme 921 00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:46,200 Speaker 1: that you're not you don't like this big, soft, generic 922 00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:48,920 Speaker 1: sort of middle of the NFL that exists right now, 923 00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:52,560 Speaker 1: and I think this game, these teams are a prime 924 00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:54,839 Speaker 1: example of this portrait of that. Yeah, I mean it's 925 00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:56,960 Speaker 1: just because well because you know, it's our job to 926 00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,320 Speaker 1: go track and watch all of this and some of this. 927 00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:02,520 Speaker 1: I was sort of eyeing this from a distance and 928 00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:06,799 Speaker 1: it just looked like rough football to But if you're 929 00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:09,320 Speaker 1: a Titans fan or you're a Jaggs fan, I know 930 00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:12,399 Speaker 1: we're gonna get to that. Suddenly. It's a two team 931 00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:16,000 Speaker 1: race in a division that between those two teams they've 932 00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:20,239 Speaker 1: won one division title since two thousand and two, so 933 00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:22,680 Speaker 1: this has been a division dominated by the other two. 934 00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:24,680 Speaker 1: And so if you're a Titans fan, you know, hey, 935 00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:27,480 Speaker 1: it's that pretty Marksessler, We're fine, and you get to 936 00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:29,879 Speaker 1: their credit. You can get Corey Davis back this week. 937 00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:31,960 Speaker 1: You'll see more of him next week. Maybe Mariotta is 938 00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:34,360 Speaker 1: getting healthier and healthier. So yeah, it's nice to have 939 00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:37,640 Speaker 1: not just a one team scenario in the South. All right, 940 00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:41,600 Speaker 1: let's move on. Savage waits for the snap, he gets it, 941 00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:45,759 Speaker 1: looks looks he's hit the ball free. Cults are gonna 942 00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:47,839 Speaker 1: win it. The cults are gonna win it. A strip 943 00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:52,680 Speaker 1: sack and a cult win fourteen Savage on fourth down? 944 00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:57,440 Speaker 1: Who hit him? So many questions? I'll tell you I'm 945 00:47:57,480 --> 00:48:00,400 Speaker 1: former brown Jabal shared what they hit that and season 946 00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:03,239 Speaker 1: jabas year, and I'll tell you what Archebias Mingo was 947 00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:05,359 Speaker 1: involved as well. And I'll tell you one more thing. 948 00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:08,560 Speaker 1: Every time I hear Bob Lamey of w l h K, 949 00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:11,480 Speaker 1: I'm waiting for another F bomb. Cults are gonna win it. 950 00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:13,799 Speaker 1: The cults are gonna remember the F bomb from Lamy 951 00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:15,800 Speaker 1: last year? I do, I do? Yeah, that was you 952 00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:18,400 Speaker 1: remember last year? That was a big plot line in 953 00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:23,320 Speaker 1: this part of Empty Spaces from last year. Anyway, I 954 00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:26,879 Speaker 1: can't believe you don't remember Lamy's F bomb. I'll think 955 00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:28,719 Speaker 1: on it more. At this point, I do not. I'm 956 00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:31,839 Speaker 1: like when you yes, no, Jabaal Shear delivered the game 957 00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:35,560 Speaker 1: to setting trips. I'm actually nervous of Tom Savage wrapping 958 00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:40,360 Speaker 1: up a road win um for the Colts over at 959 00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:44,520 Speaker 1: Houston Texans team that looked very much lost uh at 960 00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:48,400 Speaker 1: Sea with without Deshaun Watson, who, of course, towards a 961 00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:50,920 Speaker 1: cl in practice last week. T Y Hilton had a 962 00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:54,640 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five yards receiving with two touchdowns Cults 963 00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:57,840 Speaker 1: and a three games skid. Greg Uh, someone had to 964 00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:00,200 Speaker 1: win this one. Yeah, it doesn't mean my but the 965 00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:03,320 Speaker 1: Colts were so much better that I was really pleased 966 00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:04,640 Speaker 1: at the end of the game that we want to 967 00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:06,799 Speaker 1: talk about a soft middle, here's your soft middle. Well, 968 00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:09,239 Speaker 1: these guys, these teams aren't in the middle. They're there 969 00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:13,000 Speaker 1: towards there. They're towards the bottom. And it's like the 970 00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:15,400 Speaker 1: buttocks of the NFL. Where that's where we're at now. 971 00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:17,839 Speaker 1: And I know what the buttocks is that a few 972 00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:22,680 Speaker 1: other teams. What is happening right now? Tom Savage started 973 00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:25,719 Speaker 1: this game and really throughout, but they moved the ball 974 00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:28,279 Speaker 1: a little bit late, even worse than I think you 975 00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:30,560 Speaker 1: would have imagined that it could have gone. He was 976 00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:34,640 Speaker 1: nine for seven to start the game. You know, one point, 977 00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:38,000 Speaker 1: he's five for seventeen. I think at halftime Jake Briskett, 978 00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:40,360 Speaker 1: on the other hand, looked really good. I think you 979 00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:43,120 Speaker 1: look good again, Cincinnati. They deserve to win that game. 980 00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:45,600 Speaker 1: They deserve to win this game. You know, they're not 981 00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:47,279 Speaker 1: a great team. What do you want to say, But 982 00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:49,560 Speaker 1: he's he's doing pretty well in this spot. And they 983 00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:54,520 Speaker 1: were significantly better coached and just defensively everything they were 984 00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:58,120 Speaker 1: better today. I snapped to putter Keivity Humbert, left footed 985 00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:01,800 Speaker 1: punk shot the air, the backpedaling Jaydon Mickens brings it 986 00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:04,440 Speaker 1: into his thirties. Seven makes two different Bagel smiths now 987 00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:12,520 Speaker 1: the third serves off here left another on the top 988 00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:18,319 Speaker 1: of somersaults a touchdown. Andrew Catalan from CBS with the call, 989 00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:22,960 Speaker 1: nice call, Andrew jed on mickens sixty three yard punt 990 00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:27,000 Speaker 1: return that was like the Ivan drago on Apollo Creed 991 00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:29,640 Speaker 1: final blow. I watched Rocky four this morning with my son, 992 00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:32,919 Speaker 1: my son Jack. His first boxing match you ever saw 993 00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:36,200 Speaker 1: was Apollo Creed being murdered in the ring by a 994 00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:39,560 Speaker 1: Russian thug. I like that introduction to the sport. Anyway, 995 00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:42,600 Speaker 1: sixty three yards to the house. The Jaguars a twenty 996 00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:46,080 Speaker 1: three to seven win over the Bengals at the Chlorine Pit. 997 00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:48,600 Speaker 1: That's what I'm calling the Jacksonville home stadiums. What do 998 00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:51,600 Speaker 1: you think? I don't think that's the official name. That's 999 00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:55,040 Speaker 1: the nickname. That's yeah, it's a nickname. Obviously makes a 1000 00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:59,560 Speaker 1: very new nickname seconds old. Mark A. J. Green got 1001 00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:02,320 Speaker 1: a jack did for going full w W E on 1002 00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:05,400 Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey. But that was the only fight since he 1003 00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:09,680 Speaker 1: showed against the superior Jacksonville team. Yeah, hey, Bengals, see 1004 00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:13,640 Speaker 1: you later. Ah you're waiting for this, Well it's over, 1005 00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:17,880 Speaker 1: and you know what it is time we are into November. 1006 00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:20,880 Speaker 1: It is time to separate the trash from what I 1007 00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:23,080 Speaker 1: can only call the non trash. Oh you know what, 1008 00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:26,160 Speaker 1: that makes a perfect timing for us to finally, at 1009 00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:29,360 Speaker 1: long last, wheel out the stick a fork in on 1010 00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:32,080 Speaker 1: podcast on Tuesday. Like that. We got a plenty of 1011 00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:35,720 Speaker 1: candidates for that. One of them definitely will be spoiler 1012 00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:39,799 Speaker 1: alert the Cincinnati Bengals who laid a massive egg. Well, 1013 00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:42,600 Speaker 1: we'll be up for a vote. We have to get together. 1014 00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:45,640 Speaker 1: I would like to meet the person will vote for 1015 00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:50,120 Speaker 1: the Bengals. Chris calling in is gonna stop town team. 1016 00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:54,400 Speaker 1: You'll be on my obviously, go ahead, Mark Jacksonville. Seventy 1017 00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:57,600 Speaker 1: eight plays four hundred yards to a hundred and forty 1018 00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:02,240 Speaker 1: eight yards and thirty seven plays for the offensive offense 1019 00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:05,440 Speaker 1: of the Bengals. Eight first downs for the Bengals. They 1020 00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:08,200 Speaker 1: might be the worst running game or one of the 1021 00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:11,320 Speaker 1: worst running games in the league, despite having Joe Mixon 1022 00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:14,120 Speaker 1: and gioe Bernard and Jeremy Hill. It's pretty wacky. Hill 1023 00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:16,120 Speaker 1: Hill was not available today, but I don't think that 1024 00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:19,440 Speaker 1: would have made any difference. This defense dominated them, and 1025 00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:22,399 Speaker 1: I think mixing. We spent a lot of time talking 1026 00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:24,200 Speaker 1: about Mixing in the off season, and for and for 1027 00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:27,320 Speaker 1: good reason. He looked like a special running back and 1028 00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:30,200 Speaker 1: athlete and we're not seeing it. Two point four yards 1029 00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:32,120 Speaker 1: per carried today. Every week it feels like I was 1030 00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:35,040 Speaker 1: gonna his stat line thirteen for thirty one. He did 1031 00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:37,440 Speaker 1: have a touchdown, but I feel like thirteen for thirty 1032 00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:40,080 Speaker 1: one He's done that about five times this year. Well. 1033 00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:42,759 Speaker 1: And the thing was when a j Green you get 1034 00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:45,919 Speaker 1: him ejected after he has You have to go watch 1035 00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:48,080 Speaker 1: this if you haven't seen it. Just a crazy takedown 1036 00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:50,200 Speaker 1: of Jalen Ramsey, who was John with him all day. 1037 00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:52,720 Speaker 1: I love Jalen Ramsey, but I understand why you noise 1038 00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:55,719 Speaker 1: wide receivers. It's not the first guy that's gotten irritated 1039 00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:58,560 Speaker 1: at the Jaguars quarterback. But one catch for six yards 1040 00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:00,520 Speaker 1: for a J Green. There's no player in the league 1041 00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:04,040 Speaker 1: whose offense is more reliant on so and so. Then 1042 00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:06,040 Speaker 1: the Bengals are on a J Green, and this was 1043 00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:07,799 Speaker 1: that you take them out of the equation. They had 1044 00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:09,680 Speaker 1: no shot in the second and they were They were 1045 00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:12,960 Speaker 1: playing the best right now, probably the best, certainly the 1046 00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:15,080 Speaker 1: peest past defense in the league. They haven't been a 1047 00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:18,400 Speaker 1: great run defense. But now you had Marcel Darius Pff 1048 00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:20,600 Speaker 1: for what it's worth, thought he had a big impact 1049 00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:24,040 Speaker 1: in limited snaps, so you improve your run defense too. 1050 00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:27,319 Speaker 1: You got Calais Campbell setting franchise record for sacks. You've 1051 00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:30,000 Speaker 1: got Jalen Ramsey maybe he's the best cornerback in the league. 1052 00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:32,480 Speaker 1: And you have Blake Bortles. Now he's starting to stack 1053 00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:37,320 Speaker 1: up games where it's like, okay, let's let Blake Bortles 1054 00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:39,719 Speaker 1: throw the ball twenty seven times in the first half 1055 00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:43,360 Speaker 1: because Leonard four Nette was deactivated apparently for being a 1056 00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:46,640 Speaker 1: knuckle head. And we're winning these games pretty comfortably. There 1057 00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:48,439 Speaker 1: was a weird incident at the end of the game. 1058 00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:51,600 Speaker 1: They showed Ut Bortles literally after they won, coming off 1059 00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:55,160 Speaker 1: the field and joining with coach Doug Marone like it's 1060 00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:57,359 Speaker 1: almost I don't know if it was just a moment 1061 00:53:57,440 --> 00:53:59,880 Speaker 1: of being competitive or kind of I told you so, 1062 00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:01,880 Speaker 1: Oh I can throw the ball thirty eight times, we 1063 00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:04,480 Speaker 1: can still win. But it was a weird moment. And 1064 00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:08,520 Speaker 1: Doug Morone not a complete stranger to in house controversies. No, 1065 00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:13,759 Speaker 1: and he's not. And I am happy that um knucklehead 1066 00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:17,880 Speaker 1: is staying in the very very by a threat like 1067 00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:19,800 Speaker 1: it's been on the it's been hanging by a thread 1068 00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:23,439 Speaker 1: for fifty years, eighty years maybe, but it just stays there. 1069 00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:26,200 Speaker 1: And you said knucklehead, and I was like, in my 1070 00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:27,959 Speaker 1: head is like, oh, I might have said bone head, 1071 00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:31,279 Speaker 1: but I like the knuckle head continues to pop up 1072 00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:34,320 Speaker 1: in society once every week or two weeks or so. 1073 00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:38,640 Speaker 1: I don't get what knuckle head actually means or what 1074 00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:41,920 Speaker 1: bone head even means. Well, in this case, the reports 1075 00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:45,280 Speaker 1: where that he missed some team meetings or perhaps treating 1076 00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:51,239 Speaker 1: the context for the list there and then saying not 1077 00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:55,120 Speaker 1: making good life decisions. That I get. But when we said, 1078 00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:57,680 Speaker 1: let's coin a phrase for an idiot, a knuckle head, 1079 00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:00,680 Speaker 1: like her head is shaped like knuckles or bone head, 1080 00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:03,400 Speaker 1: we all have. I got a theory for knucklehead, kind 1081 00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:05,440 Speaker 1: of like a chro magnum man like where you're kind 1082 00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:07,719 Speaker 1: of you have a bumpy type head like it's that 1083 00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:11,920 Speaker 1: would be kind of associated with not being intelligent. That 1084 00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:15,720 Speaker 1: bone head you got me, I just don't know, yeahm 1085 00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:21,520 Speaker 1: at us root word linguists. The Jaguars have won five 1086 00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:27,080 Speaker 1: games this year. Not one of them was competitive. It's 1087 00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:29,040 Speaker 1: pretty interest I mean, I know the Steelers game was 1088 00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:32,080 Speaker 1: competitive for a long time, but all of their winds 1089 00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:36,600 Speaker 1: are by twenty points or more. This was the closest 1090 00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:39,520 Speaker 1: or until this game. They're they're winning cup like the 1091 00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:42,400 Speaker 1: Jags are that. This is something I kind of like 1092 00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:44,880 Speaker 1: that well, if it's for real, I think about it, 1093 00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:47,640 Speaker 1: like the fact that they didn't have their rookie sensation 1094 00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:50,440 Speaker 1: running back and they still got the job done easily, 1095 00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:55,080 Speaker 1: and Blake Bortles is making throws Blake Portles is making throws. Uh, 1096 00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:57,960 Speaker 1: you know, the Titanic is gonna keep sailing in Jacksonville 1097 00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:00,800 Speaker 1: because everything's gonna be fine. I think about it, like, 1098 00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:04,600 Speaker 1: if the quarterback is just okay, that's all they need. 1099 00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:07,920 Speaker 1: As long as for net his knucklehead act doesn't continue 1100 00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:10,640 Speaker 1: and the defense stays healthy, this team could win some 1101 00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:13,120 Speaker 1: games in January. I can't even believe him saying that 1102 00:56:13,239 --> 00:56:15,960 Speaker 1: they're they're managing him. Well, they're scheming up some plays 1103 00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:20,200 Speaker 1: like it's all it's all coming up Coughlin. That's why 1104 00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:22,920 Speaker 1: I won the around the NFL old guy of the 1105 00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:26,520 Speaker 1: first half. If you saw, was that an NFL network kid? Yeah? 1106 00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:28,359 Speaker 1: I went with Santa Claus, who I still think has 1107 00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:31,000 Speaker 1: done more for the Earth than Tom called NFL pick him, which, 1108 00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:34,279 Speaker 1: of course everyone should watch every weekend. Alright, let's move 1109 00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:42,040 Speaker 1: on Sunday night. Car gonna troll of Bob for the past. 1110 00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:52,640 Speaker 1: There for Johnny hold U Paraders. That's our boy, Greg 1111 00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:58,120 Speaker 1: Popa of kg m Z with the call Derek Carr 1112 00:56:58,200 --> 00:57:00,680 Speaker 1: throw one touchdown pass on Sunday and it was to 1113 00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:04,359 Speaker 1: the great Johnny Holton, who's forty four yard catch put 1114 00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:07,160 Speaker 1: the Raiders well out in front, and they held out 1115 00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:11,480 Speaker 1: very seven to four win over the Dolphins, who dropped 1116 00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:15,640 Speaker 1: the five hundred. This game played at hard Rock Cafe Stadium. 1117 00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:17,720 Speaker 1: Is there no cafe? Is it just hard Rock hard 1118 00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:21,240 Speaker 1: Rock Stadium, Shark Stadium. I I can't keep track so 1119 00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:23,840 Speaker 1: many Marks a big fan of hard Rock Cafe. No 1120 00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,680 Speaker 1: I questioned, it's relevant Mark actually has right now, he's 1121 00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:28,720 Speaker 1: wearing one of those gene jackets with a patch. It's 1122 00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:35,560 Speaker 1: like hard Rock Cafe Soul North South Korea. Alright. Anyway, 1123 00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:39,400 Speaker 1: so the Raiders get a win they needed, Greg Rosenthal, 1124 00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:43,400 Speaker 1: uh and the Dolphins, you know they're the Dolphins. Well, 1125 00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:47,320 Speaker 1: the Dolphins actually had a pulse on offense for the 1126 00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:50,800 Speaker 1: first time seemingly all season, Jay Cutler completing his first 1127 00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:53,680 Speaker 1: ten passes going over three hundred yards. They moved the 1128 00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:56,280 Speaker 1: ball up and down the field, but then the defense 1129 00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:58,400 Speaker 1: didn't show up. And I like games like this where 1130 00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:00,960 Speaker 1: teams start to return to the levels that they should be. 1131 00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:04,200 Speaker 1: The Redskin Seahawks game to me was similar and that 1132 00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:06,640 Speaker 1: the Redskins deserve to be five hundred the way they play. 1133 00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:09,680 Speaker 1: The Dolphins deserve to have their record come back to 1134 00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:11,160 Speaker 1: the pack, and the Raiders I think I've been a 1135 00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:13,880 Speaker 1: little better than a three and five team. So justice 1136 00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:17,680 Speaker 1: prevailed on Sunday Night Football Justice, I mean I still 1137 00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:21,720 Speaker 1: do so. I mean I don't know what to make 1138 00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:24,640 Speaker 1: of the Raiders at this point. Your four and five. Yeah, 1139 00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:27,640 Speaker 1: well you say that, and I get it. I got 1140 00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:30,000 Speaker 1: knocking them. I just said, don't get it. What's there 1141 00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:32,400 Speaker 1: to get They don't have. Their defense is so bad 1142 00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:34,960 Speaker 1: that they give up three hundred yards to J Cutler 1143 00:58:35,040 --> 00:58:37,000 Speaker 1: and make them look good for the first time all season. 1144 00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:39,240 Speaker 1: That that's what I But you know, some of those J. 1145 00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:41,640 Speaker 1: Cutler yards were patting at the end of the game. 1146 00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:45,080 Speaker 1: There's a reason by the way I locked this game up. Oh, 1147 00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:47,440 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. That's six in a row of 1148 00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:50,160 Speaker 1: the old user And Greg, you may be right, this 1149 00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:53,720 Speaker 1: hole is getting too deep for you. But um, this 1150 00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:56,439 Speaker 1: is not a great win. But still it's a road win, 1151 00:58:56,960 --> 00:59:00,880 Speaker 1: uh on in primetime against a not terror ol Dolphins team. 1152 00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:05,000 Speaker 1: And if you believe, and I sincerely do believe it, 1153 00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:06,960 Speaker 1: and we could talk about it when the four Committee 1154 00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:09,760 Speaker 1: meets on Tuesday. But I think the the Raiders have 1155 00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:11,760 Speaker 1: a run in them still, and even if they still 1156 00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:14,760 Speaker 1: don't have things figured out and is flawed as they've 1157 00:59:14,840 --> 00:59:18,400 Speaker 1: seemed seemed this year. Um I still think that the 1158 00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:20,280 Speaker 1: Raiders are gonna be in the mix in December. So 1159 00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:22,400 Speaker 1: you have to go get a win like this, and 1160 00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:24,960 Speaker 1: that's what they did. So it wasn't a thing of beauty, 1161 00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:26,720 Speaker 1: but it was a when they needed and they got. 1162 00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:30,120 Speaker 1: It's one of the better games by Derek Carr all season. 1163 00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:32,160 Speaker 1: He had the late interception, but other than that he 1164 00:59:32,200 --> 00:59:34,680 Speaker 1: played really well the Dolphins, though. I don't know what 1165 00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:37,400 Speaker 1: to take beating the Dolphins. They were the number the 1166 00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:40,120 Speaker 1: thirty first team in the league according to Football Outsiders. 1167 00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:42,440 Speaker 1: They they have the Dolphins worse than the Browns seems 1168 00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:45,520 Speaker 1: a little crazy, and the forty niners for what it's worth. 1169 00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:47,120 Speaker 1: I don't know how they I think they're gonna be 1170 00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:51,240 Speaker 1: able to not really put together many wins or figure 1171 00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:52,760 Speaker 1: out how to win games down the stretch. But at 1172 00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:54,560 Speaker 1: least the Raiders a lot to a few of the 1173 00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:56,480 Speaker 1: last few weeks have been able to move the ball 1174 00:59:56,480 --> 00:59:58,440 Speaker 1: offensively and look a little bit like they did last 1175 00:59:58,480 --> 01:00:02,320 Speaker 1: I thought Kenyan Drake, playing obviously in replace of j J. 1176 01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:05,360 Speaker 1: I E, had some good moments. Um. I just I 1177 01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:08,200 Speaker 1: think this is an admiration for Jake Color. He's gonna 1178 01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:11,200 Speaker 1: come screaming back to Earth. And I think on the 1179 01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:13,640 Speaker 1: Raiders side, Marshall and Lynch had an impact in this game. 1180 01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:16,640 Speaker 1: Two touchdowns. He kind of looked like Marshaw and Lynch 1181 01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:19,480 Speaker 1: at times in this game. Not overwhelming production from him, 1182 01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:22,280 Speaker 1: but I think it was a step in the right direction. 1183 01:00:22,520 --> 01:00:25,720 Speaker 1: He'd become kind of invisible of late and then uh, 1184 01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:29,600 Speaker 1: the other on the negative side, Amari Cooper again looked 1185 01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:32,760 Speaker 1: like the lost Amari Cooper. Uh. He did have four 1186 01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:34,720 Speaker 1: catches in this game, but he had at least two 1187 01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:37,840 Speaker 1: bad drops, and they really if this if this offense 1188 01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:40,800 Speaker 1: is going to be consistent, Uh, he is going to 1189 01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:44,200 Speaker 1: have to become consistent and be a true number one receiver. 1190 01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:46,440 Speaker 1: There's still a way to go on that front. And 1191 01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:48,880 Speaker 1: I know that you were hoping this game would would 1192 01:00:48,960 --> 01:00:51,840 Speaker 1: delve into overtime and it didn't happen for you. Are 1193 01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:55,000 Speaker 1: you you're doing okay? No, Because I had the Raiders unlock. 1194 01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:56,480 Speaker 1: I didn't want this thing going and they also want 1195 01:00:56,520 --> 01:00:58,680 Speaker 1: to go home, so it's like, no, you definitely read 1196 01:00:58,720 --> 01:01:01,200 Speaker 1: that wrong. I was and ready to say goodbye to 1197 01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:04,760 Speaker 1: the two thousand seventeen Raiders. It's not that I wasn't 1198 01:01:04,800 --> 01:01:06,680 Speaker 1: playing ball with a bit there, Mark, but it's just 1199 01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:12,720 Speaker 1: like I can, I simply read it as poorly as possible. Um, 1200 01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:15,800 Speaker 1: there you go. So the Raiders four and five, Dolphins 1201 01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:17,680 Speaker 1: four and four. In a way we go. H.
