1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: Be Around the NFL Podcast. I'll have side podcasts except

2
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: for what's Welcome to another edition of the Around the

3
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: NFL Podcast. My name is Dan Hansis and I've joined

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 1: in a room build with heroes Mark Sessler, Chris Westling,

5
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: and Greg Rosenthal. What is up? Boys? Hey Dan? Happy

6
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: Sunday Night, Happy Flagship Show. Week four in the NFL.

7
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: Three more overtime games. I know we didn't like in

8
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: this room how all of them turned out, Mr Sizzler,

9
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: But the greater point is that football is damn good

10
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: right now in terms of, uh, how competitive the games are,

11
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: how fun they've been to watch, and you're not seeing

12
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: those think pieces Greg, like you saw this time last

13
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: year about how there's something wrong with the sport. Well,

14
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: it does go to show that Points cell I was

15
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: thinking about that on Thursday night because we were talking

16
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: about what a class the game that is, and everyone

17
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 1: that watched at home came out of that game feeling

18
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: like the NFL. It's it's why it's our favorite start

19
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: the Rams and Vikings, and it's because Points. Ultimately, people

20
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: do like Point, but it's more complex and that there's

21
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: been more entertainment, there's been more late game drama. There's

22
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:19,199
Speaker 1: been a lot of on stage on big stage, absolutely,

23
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: but also there's been more points and we Mark, you

24
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: know that Mark's leg is elevated right now? Is this

25
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 1: very health reasons? Uh? I was carrying too, I guess

26
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: is it a chord of firewood? I was carrying to

27
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: collections of firewood into West's house one night's Friday night

28
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: and collapsed to the like totally crumbled in the driveway

29
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: and landed on my left knee. And it's I'm just

30
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 1: sort of I don't have ice, but it's the version

31
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: of ice sing. It just putting my knee up on

32
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: the table to deal with the setback in it's a

33
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: health issue, okay. Um, I was gonna say last year

34
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: we were giving it to the NFL. This is not

35
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: just us, you know, being so you know pro we're

36
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: in the bag for the league. Last year there was

37
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: a bad football, especially in prime time. We've been lucky

38
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: this year, so there was bad energy around a lot

39
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: of NFL stuff a year ago. And I think right now,

40
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: and it's crazy that that Thursday night game that we

41
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: went to feels like a million years ago and a

42
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: million great games ago. At this point, there's great energy

43
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: around this season right now and what's happening. I think

44
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: it says a lot when the piling on the quarterback

45
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 1: rule is the biggest problem the NFL has had, Like

46
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: that's not You're right, Like tomorrow there's gonna be a

47
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: terrible story that ruins. There are as many flags this

48
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: year as last year. But last year it was a

49
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: lot of flags and not much football action. This year

50
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: there's enough football action that people can put up with.

51
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: It does help that, like eighteen, NFL defensive coordinators are

52
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: systematically drugged before each game so that they have no

53
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: idea what's happening by the end of the first quarter.

54
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: I am gonna try to be a professional and get

55
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: through this podcast. Taking Mark seriously with the leg up.

56
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: This is wild. What's happening? This is how I get through.

57
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: I'm sustaining and I listen. I tried to firewood into

58
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: West's house. Did well? All right? We got a lot

59
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: of games to get to, a lot of fun football

60
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: to talk about. Week four Sunday, Let's start with one

61
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: of those overtime thrillies. Mariota throws in the end zone.

62
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: Manister tutt T davis first ever text tex fis stamp.

63
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,399
Speaker 1: That's why you picked him. That's why you want him.

64
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: That's why Marcus Mariota is Chevy w g f X.

65
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: Clip that off. That's in the running for call of

66
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: the Year. Marcus Mariotta connected with Corey Davis and a

67
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: ten yard touchdown passed just before the end of overtime.

68
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: The Tennessee Titans beat the Philadelphia Eagles to twenty three.

69
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: What a game, A tough loss for the defending champ Eagles,

70
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: who blew a fourteen point second half lead and a

71
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: three point leading overtime. Greg this tight, this team, they

72
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: don't and the way that they did it has me

73
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: thinking they have a chance to be special this year.

74
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: It's one thing to win with Blaine Gabbert over the

75
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: Texans with some crazy plays. Another you win in Jacksonville

76
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: nine six. The fact that they won by being aggressive,

77
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: throwing the ball down the field from the very first

78
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: quarter and I know it was seventeen three midway through

79
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: the third quarter, but there was actually a lot of action,

80
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: a lot of interesting moments in this game. But from

81
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: that point on, Mariota completed I believe at least fourteen

82
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 1: straight passes after they were down seventeen three, they scored

83
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: seventeen unanswered. You see Corey Davis playing like a number

84
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: one receiver, and you see Marcus Mariotta throwing the ball

85
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: down the field, and you start to see, Okay, this

86
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: is what Matt Lafleur, this uh acolyte of of Sean McVeigh,

87
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 1: you know, someone who learned from Sean McVeigh and Sean

88
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: you know Kyle Shannon. You started to see that offense

89
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: take shape, and you started to see Mariota throw well

90
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: and move very well. And the fact that they overcame

91
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: fourth and fifteen in overtime, fourth and four, and then

92
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: you had a moment at fourth and two where you

93
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: were gonna kick a field goal to tie the game

94
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: in overtime, and Vrabel has kind of his come to Jesus,

95
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go for a moment, takes the time out,

96
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: decides to go for it, gets it to Dion Lewis.

97
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: They marched down the field and win the game. That

98
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: that changes at at the course of a season. I

99
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 1: think they're just gonna be so fired. And that was

100
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: a trend in Week four. Coaches and big decisions, either

101
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,799
Speaker 1: changing their minds or making unorthodox decisions. There it worked

102
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 1: out for the Titans. Vrabel said after the game that

103
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 1: he put that kick team on the field on purpose

104
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: to stop any confusion that the offense was going to

105
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 1: have because he knew he was going to take a

106
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: time out regardless, which is a little bit different than

107
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: what happened in the Colts game. We'll get to that,

108
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: but but Brabel seemed to keep his head about him there.

109
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 1: It's amazing to me that Vrabel, prior is someone with

110
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 1: zero pro football coaching experience, and along with Matt Neggie,

111
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: looks like one of the best new hires right now,

112
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: and and did not have a great track record as

113
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: a defensive coordinator in the NFL. But this Titans defense

114
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: has been playing really well, and they've been creative, and

115
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: they gave problems to the Eagles, who I think overall

116
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: they should not Eagles fans should not be panicking. I

117
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: think you saw a lot in this game actually to

118
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: be excited about. Carson Wentz looked much better. You're getting

119
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: something out of Jordan Matthews, which I think just adding

120
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 1: to the mix is nice. And Auson Jeffrey was back

121
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 1: and made a huge difference eight for one oh five

122
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: and one for Jeffrey Carson wentz thirty three fifty three,

123
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 1: eight and two touchdowns. So yeah, this is it wasn't

124
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: like a dark day for the defending champs. It's just

125
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: the Titans might be for real this They deserve respect

126
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: and UM, I personally would not call them the Titoons anymore. Decision.

127
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: Jarrell Casey playing as well as Fletcher Cox this year.

128
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: He's been awesome today. Harold Landry is one of the

129
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: impact rookies on defense to Dan, A lot of there

130
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: already there. I've received probably twenty five strongly worded tweets

131
00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,559
Speaker 1: UM directed essentially at us to corral you on this issue.

132
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: Where are you with this is how? This is how

133
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: you generate heat and popping buzz around your podcast. Titoons

134
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: win some games in December. Nice job. In September, just

135
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: beat the a f C, the you know, the the

136
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: division leaders, guys who made the cover chain. They beat

137
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: the defending Super Bowl chain and they and what I

138
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: liked is they changed their plan. They couldn't run the

139
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: ball and they just started to throw it like crazy

140
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: because that was who cares what I what I call them?

141
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: Enjoy your your team, Tennessee. I think some people do

142
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: care d Tennessee region. I think they're going to be

143
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: enjoying them this year. It's fun squad, all right, let's

144
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: uh move on weeks with the snap, it's down, Daniel,

145
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: what the whole fair Bears kick is off and it's

146
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: good and the Texans win it over time at the buzzer,

147
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: fair Bear drills it and the Texans get their first

148
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: k I l t Mark VanderMeer with a call one

149
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,679
Speaker 1: of my favorite names in the game right now. Kaimi

150
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: Fairbar took advantage of a second chance at a game winner,

151
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: connecting on a thirty seven yard or as time expired

152
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: an overtime to give the Houston Texans a thirty seven

153
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: thirty four win over the Indianapolis Colts. Bareburn missed the

154
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: first kick. Why left, but the Cults it called time out.

155
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: He didn't miss what it counted, Mark. That's how it ended.

156
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: But this game will be remembered for an extremely gutsy

157
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: or extremely dumb decision by Frank Reich. Absolutely, it's fourth

158
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: and four with twenty seven seconds left in overtime, and

159
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: they are sitting at the Culture, sitting at their own

160
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: forty three yard line, and they dial up a pass

161
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: that falls incomplete from Andrew Luck to Chester Rogers, and

162
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: right away Twitter lights up with people asking why on

163
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,319
Speaker 1: earth did coach Frank Reich go for this this way?

164
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: Why be this aggressive when there were other ways out

165
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: of this game? He came out very strongly afterwards explaining

166
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: why he did it. Do we want to get to

167
00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: that sound clippe? We're not playing the tie? I mean

168
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: when we're going for that ten times out of ten,

169
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: I mean that's just the way it's got a role. Yeah,

170
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't normally normally like push uh

171
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 1: like Erica into soundclip world. So I I was in

172
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: a new honestly, like you stuck the landing there. You

173
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: just had to trust your instincts. That extra couple of words. Well,

174
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,599
Speaker 1: if I you know, I do that maybe once a

175
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: year on the show. So next year at this time,

176
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: I'll do a better job. And I hear it one

177
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: more time, I thought, because I wasn't listening, Um, you know,

178
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: just address it now. I mean we're not playing to tie.

179
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: I mean when we're going for that ten times out

180
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: of ten, I mean that's just the way it's got

181
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: a role. West did you like it? Well? The philosophy

182
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: is the same as Rabels, But the execution was faulty,

183
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 1: and I think you can criticize Frank for taking the

184
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: time out the play before to try to get the

185
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 1: defense to jump off sides, leaving himself with little wig

186
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: room there. You can also fault him for not choosing

187
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: on a fourth and fourth play, say your best two

188
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: point conversion type of run play, which would have left

189
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: the other team with no time on the clock had

190
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: they gotten the ball back. What do you what do

191
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: you mean that the clock stops the second you run

192
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: the ball, So that's gonna running play will take more

193
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: time than a passing play, but it still would have

194
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: left you with about twenty seconds I think, if not

195
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: a thing less than that, right, I mean, there were

196
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: twenty seven seconds at the at the point of the snap.

197
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: It went down to twenty four on the incomplete pass.

198
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: It's gonna change possession and the clock is gonna stop.

199
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,719
Speaker 1: Maybe it's an extra three or four seconds. Maybe, But

200
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 1: I like the idea in general, the execution and the

201
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: spot on the field and the way that game was flowing.

202
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: I can understand the criticism, but maybe kind of like Mark,

203
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: you know, not quite trusting the process there, it was

204
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: the right idea and the long In the long term,

205
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna help out and you're gonna have

206
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: some learning learning the right idea on the other team's

207
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: forty three yard line and not your own. Well that

208
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: makes that That's that I agree is I think that

209
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: where it was on the field, you're just are asking

210
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 1: potentially for disaster. Here's the thing that you can make

211
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: a better throw, you can also make a better play

212
00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,719
Speaker 1: on defense. You had to give up a lot of

213
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 1: ards immediately on defense, and that's exactly what they did

214
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: to lose the game. So it's on players too. Deshaun

215
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 1: Watson first play after this fourth down failure connects with

216
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hawkman's twenty four yards. They spiked the ball and

217
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,719
Speaker 1: kicked the field goal. So even even after that that

218
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: went sideways on the Colts. If they just put up

219
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 1: a little bit of a fight and get a stop,

220
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 1: even an incompletion that affects the time situation, you probably survive.

221
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: But they just didn't execute. And what should have been

222
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: lost in this game is how great Andrew Luck played.

223
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 1: Um This a week after a lot of handwringing and concerned,

224
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: concerned about how Luck has looked and how maybe that

225
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: shoulder is permanently damaged to the point where where he'll

226
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: never be the same guy. He made a lot of

227
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: great throws in this game. He he had some drives

228
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: where again he's just an easy guy to root for,

229
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 1: where I felt like, yes, Andrew Luck, you still can

230
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,599
Speaker 1: do this thing. Yes, I think if you are a

231
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: Colts fan or a Texans fan, there is something to

232
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,719
Speaker 1: be optimistic about. Both offenses, both passing games, I should say,

233
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,040
Speaker 1: finding their way in this game as it went on

234
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 1: and on to the point where you really knew the

235
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: Texans we're gonna run. I look at this. This Cults

236
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:08,839
Speaker 1: ground attack, though, is absolutely a mega disaster. This is

237
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: the most in balanced team in the a f C.

238
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: It is. It is hard to watch how it balanced

239
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: there and for their efforts. They played nineties snaps today

240
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: and they are on a short week to play against

241
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: the Patriots. T why Hilton has a hamstring injury and

242
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: Frank Reich does not expect and they're in a good

243
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: luck with that, they're in a good division. I think

244
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: the Titans and Jags are both playoff type of teams.

245
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: They're at three and one, and maybe that's why you

246
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: are should be aggressive that you need wins not tied.

247
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: That ends a nine game losing streak for the Texans

248
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: that dates back to last year. And hats off to

249
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: Adam Viny Terry, now the all time UH field goal

250
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: UH leader after kicking UH converting late in the first half,

251
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,719
Speaker 1: let's move up cross Scott airs it up deep down

252
00:12:49,800 --> 00:13:03,079
Speaker 1: the right side of all the spot Rad Sham k

253
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 1: r l D with the call, Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott,

254
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: just like you just heard, connected a huge thirty four

255
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: yard reception late in the fourth quarter. Prescott put it

256
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: right where it needed to be and Elliott made the

257
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: play Rett Mar mayor mar Mar thirty eight yard field

258
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: goal in the final seconds. Cowboys win over the Lions

259
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: at Jerry World. It was a career day for Zeke,

260
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: who piled up two hundred forty all purpose yards and

261
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: a touchdown carrying a Dallas offense that needs it more

262
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: than ever. Big win for Big D Chris Westley. Yeah,

263
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: this game could have gone either way, and the Lions

264
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: took the lead right before that play we just heard

265
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: announced Ezekie Alliott over the shoulder grab against Gerard Davis

266
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,839
Speaker 1: and coverage thirty five yards down the field. Just a

267
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 1: phenomenal play from a running back. And Zeke last week

268
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: moved the chains but had some critical airs that cost

269
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. This week, he moved the chains and kept

270
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 1: making big play after play. The best player on the

271
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: field in this game. You called this his best game

272
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: yet as a Dallas Cowboy. Wow, Yeah, it's going out

273
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,719
Speaker 1: on a limb, but I do think it was. When

274
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: you watch the game, the impact that he had, and

275
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: he's probably the best running back in the NFL. He

276
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: either him or talk early well. He's also so important

277
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: to them because they just have so little else He

278
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: he made up more than half of the team's total

279
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: offense in what was their best day offensively of the season.

280
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: He is easily half the teams shows you how the

281
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: low of the bar is for Dallas. That this is

282
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: their best offensive game of the season. Their leading receiver

283
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: outside of Elliott was cold easily with four catches for

284
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: fifty three yards and this but I thought this was

285
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: also a positive game. This is no make make no mistake.

286
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: Zeke is the reason they won this game. But Dak Prescott,

287
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: who has been getting a lot of criticism lately, he

288
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: actually was able to produce. He had gone eight straight games,

289
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: I believe, without a two hundred yard game through for two,

290
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: didn't throw a pick, had two touchdowns, so a positive

291
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: game for him as well. He was fine, not nearly

292
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: impact that DeMarcus Lawrence had. He had another three sacks.

293
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: He's got twenty sacks in his last twenty games, and

294
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: he has headed for a contract showdown with the Cowboys

295
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: in the offseason. Yeah, he's gonna be rich because he's

296
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: coming off of a franchise tag that already pays him

297
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: seventeen million, and you're making your top ten m v

298
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: P cannits. I don't know how many defensive players are

299
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: going to get on that, but if if any are,

300
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: I feel like Lawrence other than Khalil Mack would be

301
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: in that defensive Player of the yumit because he's one

302
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: of the few defensive players that shows up every single week.

303
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: You can expect something from him. I don't know if

304
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: like a best defensive player on a two and two

305
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: team is going to be in my hear look at

306
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: this game by Golden Tape. By the way, eight targets,

307
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: eight catches, a hundred and thirty two yards to score.

308
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: He was making mincemeat out of the Cowboys cornerbacks just

309
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: could not tackle him. He's so good after the catch,

310
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: and their cornerbacks outside of Byron Jones, just weren't that good.

311
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: By the way. I don't know if you guys heard,

312
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: but Jason Garrett said after the game that that passed

313
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: that we heard the play Dak Prescott zeke that was

314
00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: officially a nut cutting throw. Talk of he said, talk

315
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: about a nutcutting throw. That's just a visual that I

316
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: don't I don't know what that what that means, but

317
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: I think that's good. I think well that I was

318
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: just about to say, Wes, you watched this game a

319
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: lot closer than I did. I kind of just caught

320
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: the end of it. That throw from Doc was a

321
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: beautiful throw. They need their quarterback to step up and

322
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: make plays, and that was a crucible moment in that game.

323
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: That was a nutcutter, Ald nutcutter. He's lucky that the

324
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: last play people remember was not the spin that he

325
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: took to move his team out of field goal range

326
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: on the third day. Something jarring when when Garrett goes

327
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: blue like he like when in that show, it's something strange. Also,

328
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: Jared Jones who's known to feel himself after games like these,

329
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: always fun in the luxury box immediately after a crushing

330
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: loss or a win. He fainted, uh, or he did

331
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: He acted as if he had fainted right after the kick.

332
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: And then I think Jane Slater on Instagram got a

333
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: video of him walking through the tunnel, uh, making the

334
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: comment we're worry' all worried about anything. Talking to the media.

335
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 1: Who does a bad job and laughs? At least some

336
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: of them doesn't. It's like, alright, like go crazy boasting

337
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:10,880
Speaker 1: to get to two and two with the narrow home

338
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: win over the Lions. I don't know, the Cowboys, the ramps.

339
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: Let's just reality against and this is another frustrating loss

340
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: for the Lions who were unable to build on that

341
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: Patriots win. And this is another one where they got

342
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 1: their hearts ripped out at the end. So the Lions

343
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 1: back to square one. Let's move up twelve seconds to

344
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: go touched Bengals. I love it. I love when the

345
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: booth guys, the radio guys, their homers at heart and

346
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 1: they just say, if it, We're pumped right now. That

347
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: was Dan Horde and Dave Lapham of the Bengals Radio network,

348
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 1: w c k Y with the call. Andy Dalton through

349
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: a thirteen yard touchdown pass to A J. Green with

350
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 1: seven seconds remaining, lifting the Cincinnati by Angles to a

351
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: thirty seven thirty six win over the Falcons. Dalton moved

352
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 1: the Bengals seventy seventy five yards and just four minutes twice,

353
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: keeping the drive alive on fourth down with completions the

354
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd mark a huge road win for the Bengals

355
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: and a crushing setback for a Falcons team that knows

356
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 1: this feeling all too well. Falcons team that's one in

357
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 1: three and the Bengals team that's three and one that

358
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: looks to me like a playoff team. Fifty two points

359
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: to the point of everything we're saying about defense or

360
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: offense and defense in this league at this point, fifty

361
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 1: two points scored in the first two quarters, which is

362
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 1: the most by any team this season in the first half.

363
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: And here is what I thought said so much about

364
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: this Bengals offense that we have been on board with

365
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: since August. They lose Tyler Eiffert. They're tight end to

366
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: a gruesome lower it's a fractured ankle. I believe he

367
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: has minutes seconds into the third quarter and and it

368
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 1: was such a terrible injury and he was carted away

369
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 1: shedding tears. At the entire Bengals offense I think was

370
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: emotionally affected by it. They completely went asleep. Seconds later

371
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: a blocked punt, then in the next possession punt and

372
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 1: then Andy Dalton threw a tipped pass that got picked,

373
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: and you could feel this game floating away from Cincinnati

374
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: on the road. And instead of crumbling, which we've seen it,

375
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton do the Andy Dalton who threw four picks

376
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: last week. Typically, if he's gonna go down the dark

377
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton path, he's gonna he's gonna account for another turnover.

378
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 1: They would hand this to an excellent Falcons offense. Instead,

379
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 1: he dialed up a field goal and that final touchdown

380
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: drive that you mentioned. This was one of the I

381
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 1: hate this word, but one of the guts here Bengals

382
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: victories that I've seen in years. It's a huge one.

383
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 1: It's not a lockup up though. What happens to me

384
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 1: in these football weeks is either everything goes right, which

385
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 1: is rare, or everything goes wrong. And I I locked

386
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 1: up the Falcons, and I also got stuck writing this game,

387
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 1: which took about forty five thousand hours. This game went

388
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:53,239
Speaker 1: on for two and a half years, and I had

389
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 1: the Texans ones too. It's like, please throw me into

390
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: two darker corners at the same time. I have no

391
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: idea what's happening hanging there? We we talke last week.

392
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: I think Mark you you yourself had said maybe for

393
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: the preview for this game, you don't want to put

394
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: too much on Andy Dalton because he's not quite at

395
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: that level as a quarterback. This was I think one

396
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 1: of his signature wins of his career and one of

397
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: the signature throws. The Falcons deserved to take heed for

398
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 1: not being able to close this out, but that play

399
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: that was a perfectly thrown ball to the perfect spot,

400
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: the receiver ran a perfect route. Cincinnati just outplayed the

401
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 1: Falcons in the biggest point of this was a defense

402
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,360
Speaker 1: free game, and Dalton had his way, as did Matt Ryan.

403
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: How many teams have scored more points than the Cincinnati

404
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: Bengals this year more points, I'm gonna say none. The

405
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:42,360
Speaker 1: way you set it up too, Sean mcveigh's Los Angeles

406
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: Rams are the only team that will probably have more

407
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: after Monday Night's game. But the Bengals are a top

408
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: five offense so far this year, and the Falcons basically

409
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: are too. I would say the last three weeks they

410
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: are the fourth, and they lose two straight games at

411
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: home like this to the Saints and and to the Bengals.

412
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: And I saw the stat that teams were three hundred

413
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: and eighty six in one when they When you score

414
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 1: thirty seven points with no turnovers before the Falcons lost

415
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 1: last week, this year, they score thirty six points one

416
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 1: less with no turnovers. I mean you usually at home

417
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: that that's that, and you usually you win those games.

418
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 1: I mean it's not like up for debate. But the

419
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 1: NFL is a little different this year. This has been

420
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 1: a it's been kind of shielded by some other quarterbacks

421
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 1: that have been playing out of their mind. But this

422
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 1: has been a brilliant three week stretch from Matt Ryan.

423
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: So for them to come out of September one in

424
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: three is bitterly disappointing. And you have to wonder losing

425
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 1: their top defenders two season ending injuries. This is just

426
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 1: what the Falcons are gonna be this there eight or

427
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: nine wins and and their defense is just not gonna

428
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: let them close out games. This is what you expect

429
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:44,959
Speaker 1: to happen when you lose the backbone of your defense.

430
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: They can They're the best one in three team in

431
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: the league off the top of my head, and they're

432
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: not a one in three team that I would rule

433
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: out right. It does. It does every every week though.

434
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: They're right there with good teams, and they find a

435
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 1: way to lose. They can climb out of this far

436
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: feet dead. But they've got some some issues that aren't

437
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: about to go away. Let's move on. Tradition returned right,

438
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 1: He's got Debriel for the touchdown, bright fright corner of

439
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: the end zone. Six touchdown pros today My second year quarterback,

440
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: Mitch Trabinsky. Who Jeff John Janiak w BBM with the call,

441
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 1: Mitch Trabinsky, Yeah, that guy through a career high six

442
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 1: touchdown passes just one. Show the NFL record what the

443
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears the team around the NFL destroyed the Bucks.

444
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 1: Rabinsky had never thrown more than two touchdowns in a

445
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,679
Speaker 1: game before Sunday's explosion. Maybe stole that fits magic from

446
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,879
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick, who was benched in this one. Greg. This

447
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 1: is what you call breakout performance for young Mitch. It

448
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,679
Speaker 1: was for him in the entire offense, for Matt Naggy

449
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,880
Speaker 1: calling up the right plays where guys are just streaking

450
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: wide open, and in this game, Trabinsky was decisive and

451
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: hitting him. And he did have a few dimes, one

452
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,360
Speaker 1: to Tarik Cohen I can think of, one to Trey

453
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: Burton where he was wide open but it was a

454
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: perfect throw, and and another to Taylor Gabriel. So he

455
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 1: was making chunk plays down the field. He was confident

456
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: he was there leading Russia. Robisky can move. I mean,

457
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: he is a He's a great uh runner when he

458
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: wants to be. And they did call a run that

459
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: was a key play in the first half. And so

460
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: I just think Matt Naggi has just so obviously made

461
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 1: a difference and so obviously looks like the Chiefs offense.

462
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 1: And the biggest difference today was he was playing the

463
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: box who are one of the worst defense in the

464
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 1: league and are so predictable and Mike Smith's gonna lose

465
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: his mind and the number two Strabisky hit his shots.

466
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 1: He hit the Let's let's hear what Dirk Cutter, the

467
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: head coach, had to say about the effort by his

468
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 1: defense and whether or not maybe the defensive cording to

469
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 1: Mike Smith could be in danger of losing his job.

470
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 1: We should fire every person that was on that field today,

471
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: starting with me. That was that was horrific. That would

472
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 1: cause some chaos, anybody any ideas? Right the Glazers, the

473
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 1: ownership there really worried about Man United, who's having their

474
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: own struggles right now. How about that for a little

475
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 1: Premier League knowledge they're falling. That's a big bounce back

476
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: after the war that west Ham Jersey and got killed

477
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 1: for it also known as Greg's fashion apocalypse. Say, I

478
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: don't I have no regrets west Ham with a big

479
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 1: win over over Man. Don't know Greg wore a west

480
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 1: Ham kit. I think they call it to our Saturday

481
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: UM media tour when we were in England, and I

482
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: think he did it. He's like, oh, this is gonna

483
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: give me a lot of points with the locals. And

484
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: he didn't realize in London west Ham is a hated team.

485
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 1: Just that's where you are killed. Just every team is

486
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: hated because there's only you know, you got killed five

487
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 1: hours straight up. Just to be clear from a visual angle,

488
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 1: he wasn't wearing the shorts and the shin guards in

489
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:49,199
Speaker 1: the socks was actually better than an antagonist rule anyway, Right, Oh,

490
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: I liked. I liked. You know, at least people are

491
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 1: given some sort of reaction. It's like the Bears. The

492
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: Bears used to be a team. There was no reaction

493
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: to Now I'm looking forward to watching them. Are you

494
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 1: feeling yourself just a little bit because you're accountable? Hot

495
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 1: take from our Twitter show is looking well, you've you've

496
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 1: essentially probably already succeeded at it. But that was that.

497
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: That was after the second week. Yeah, I said that

498
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston would be the starter after the bye, and

499
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: this game was not Ryan Fitzpatrick's fault, but he had

500
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 1: a fumble, he had an interception, and they had five

501
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 1: first downs and six drives, and and they wanted to

502
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: give Jamis Winston some work because I think all along

503
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: their cutter wanted to go back to him if he

504
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 1: had any I mean, we there was a report that

505
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: their cutter wanted to put Ryan Griffin in the Monday

506
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: night football game. So this was always to do this apparently,

507
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: and now he has his opportunity. I think, Greg, your

508
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: prediction is gonna come to fruition. Yeah, anytime you can

509
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 1: replace like one of the league's most productive quarterbacks with

510
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: the guy who led the NFL and fumbles the year before,

511
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 1: you have to do it well, Fitzpatrick, I think we've

512
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: seen who he is, and I think that's just what

513
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: they're over. And you refused to acknowledge that Winston's played

514
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 1: three years. I am definitely willing to believe. Here's the

515
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: thing that I'm definitely willing to believe that a twenty

516
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: four year old has room to grow in his career

517
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 1: year and he's shown a lot of good things. But

518
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: this isn't the time for that. It's time to give

519
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 1: a little props to Khalil Mack. Four straight games with

520
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,439
Speaker 1: a forced fumble in a sack of outrageous and hit

521
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston's arm on a play that turned into an intercept.

522
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: This is he had to turn two more turnover today.

523
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 1: And they listened to West about Terrico and gave him

524
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: the ball all day and and he was the guy

525
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 1: not Jordan's house team who the Bears, the team of

526
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: a T not the Bucks. Who's better than the Bears?

527
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 1: Definitely the Ram the team of a T N. Maybe

528
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: the Saint in I want to see more from the

529
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 1: offense on a consistent basis. The defense, I think is

530
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: a top five defense, no doubt, one of the only

531
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: difference making defenses. I need to see more from the

532
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 1: offense than one fire show against the Bucks are dreadful.

533
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 1: Every mind you of the Rex Grossman bears right now?

534
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: Do you Mark? Do you remember the sitcom in the

535
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 1: eighties head of the class? Remember the cool kid that

536
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: used to sit in the back with the computer of

537
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: his leg up all the time? That's you right now.

538
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: I having a do every show that in every video presentation.

539
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 1: This it changes your entire delivery system. It just everything

540
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 1: seems flip and casual, and you're a little detached, but

541
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: you're relaxed. I woke up feeling largely lost. I still

542
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 1: feel that way. This feel is appropriate the way I'm sitting.

543
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: It's the I D what is it? I D F

544
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 1: I D A F oh, I don't give a Yeah

545
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: that guy, you're that guy. Yeah, don't tell the employer,

546
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,639
Speaker 1: but it's very true. Let's move on out of the

547
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: shotgun takes the hand off to Timmy grand What side

548
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: of the pylon? Tous down here? The north ends out

549
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 1: and Jimmy Graham he enjoys a lambow leaf. Wayne Larvey

550
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 1: w T m J Packers Radio Network, Aaron Rodgers and

551
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 1: Jimmy Grin connected on their first touchdown past of the year. GENA.

552
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 1: Packers put together a really nice effort defensively, at least

553
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: a twenty two zip shutout win over the Buffalo Bills

554
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 1: have come down to earth after that excellent effort against

555
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 1: the Vikings last Sunday, so they can carry it over

556
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: in the NFC North Um. We we talked about this

557
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,160
Speaker 1: last week. Aaron Rodgers needs help. He needs his own

558
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: his teammates to to kind of come in and and

559
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: help lift him when he's beat up and doing everything

560
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 1: he can. He got that today. Aaron Jones West who

561
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,640
Speaker 1: you who? You like a lot? His numbers aren't gonna

562
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: jump out at you, but he really ran the ball well.

563
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 1: Gave them a lift um and a touchdown um. The defense, though,

564
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: and this has been a defense that Mike Petton was

565
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 1: supposed to improve it and it hasn't really happened through

566
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: three weeks. Yes, it's the Bills and and Josh Allen

567
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: rookie who looked lost in this game, but they get

568
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 1: their first shutout since two thousand ten and made Josh

569
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: Allen just look. Lost three turnovers, two interceptions of fumble,

570
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 1: sixteen of thirty three for a hundred and fifty one yards,

571
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: And uh so the Packers do what they have to do.

572
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: They take care of business. They did with the Vikings

573
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: should have done. But Aaron Rodgers said it himself after

574
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: the game, Uh this was a really great effort by

575
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: by our defense, but our offense. This was a non

576
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: playoff caliber effort by our offense. And they still have

577
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: work to do on that side of the ball. What

578
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: percentage of outside of Green Bay football fans knew the

579
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: name Kyler fact Roll before today, who had three sacks,

580
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: who has been a whipping boy among Packers backers? Who

581
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: want that guy off the roster right when you when

582
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: you like Aaron Rodgers needs more help, I think of

583
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,239
Speaker 1: the defense and the pass rush. Clay Matthews and Nick

584
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: Perry have been disappointing this year up until this game,

585
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: and fact Rol is usually their fourth ad dresser I think,

586
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 1: behind Reggie Gilbert too. So so this is a game

587
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: where you kind of expect Mike Patton to cook up

588
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: something that's gonna scramble a rookie's brains and that's exactly

589
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: what he did. And Clay Matthews, Yes, we don't have

590
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: to play any sound from Clay. He did get he

591
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: was active, and he had half a sack but no penalties,

592
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:52,959
Speaker 1: and he was no fact rol because there's only one

593
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: fact Roll and that's Kyle. You're saying fact rol. I'm

594
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: not fat girl, right fact Rol. No, No, I'm not

595
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 1: saying fat girl. I'm not I'm not saying zaftig woman

596
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 1: like zat tig um and any other thoughts in this game.

597
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: I don't really know where to go after what what

598
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: just happened here, but I didn't again casual cool, detached market.

599
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: Next time I look over, you're gonna be smoking a cigarette.

600
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: It ain't gonna be a cigarette, um my. My only

601
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: other thought on on the Bill side of the ball

602
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: before we move on is Lashawn McCoy, who I know

603
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: is banged up but completely invisible to start this season,

604
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 1: and he carried a mediocre Bills team on offense last year.

605
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: I think he accounted for a third of their offense.

606
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 1: It has not been the same thing, so I don't

607
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 1: know if it's him being getting older, banged up off

608
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: the field issues. But Lashawn McCoy is no longer a

609
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 1: guy that's bailing out the Bills offense. I'd like to

610
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: see that. Let's move on. Lettis turns up the field.

611
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: It's funny right to the time to the five to

612
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: own touchdown. Patriots, welcome to New England. See pay there's

613
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: your first moment. I'm gonna get this wrong. Twitter user

614
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: for rated me recalling Bob Socci by the like mispronouncing

615
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: it for five straight years. You should know Greg can

616
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: help me. Bob Socy. I thought you could just got

617
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 1: it right the first time, anyway, Bob soci Patriots Radio

618
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 1: Network w b Z with the call Great. Tom Brady

619
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: threw for two seventy four and three touchdowns of Patriots

620
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 1: hand in Miami, their first loss of their season, thirty

621
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 1: eight seventh detonation in Foxborough. Tom Brady improved the fifteen

622
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 1: and one in his career. First the Dolphins, who came

623
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: crashing back down to earth after that three and oh

624
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 1: start West, the Pats of effectively restored order in the

625
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: a f C East. I think they've restored order, but

626
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 1: I'd stop shy of saying they fixed what was ailing

627
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 1: them on offense. They came out and against a defensive

628
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 1: and duo of Cam Wake and Robert Quinn that has

629
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 1: about a hundred and sixty career sacks. They decided to

630
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 1: see if these pass rushers can stop the run, and

631
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 1: Sony Michelle ran through big holes throughout the first half.

632
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: James White was really good as a runner and a receiver.

633
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 1: I think the Patriots looked at the Dolphins said we

634
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: can push them around, and we don't trust their linebackers.

635
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 1: Let's take advantage of them, and that's what they did.

636
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 1: It was not some game where braiding the passing game

637
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: got healthy. Philip Doorsett made a nice touchdown catch but

638
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: also dropped Tom Brady's best throw of the day downfield

639
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: called Darryl Patterson's touchdown came on a pick play at

640
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage and with Davy and Howard got

641
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 1: lost and basically busted coverage. Uh. James White scored on

642
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 1: a twenty two yard TV one play after Tannehill botched

643
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 1: a shotgun snap and Kyle Vannoy scrambled for the ball

644
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 1: and got it. This was more to me like the

645
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: Patriots got the brakes and imposed their will rather than Hey,

646
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: the Patriots offense is backing, you better watch out. But

647
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: the defense showed up. As a as a Patriots fan

648
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 1: to see that the Dolphins didn't have a drive longer

649
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:04,719
Speaker 1: than five plays until garbage time. I've talked a lot

650
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: in the podcast that they're gonna have to win games

651
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: different types of ways because I don't think the offense

652
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: is ever going to get to the levels it's been before.

653
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 1: And they had a game plan that just absolutely shut

654
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: down Miami. I'm not sure exactly what the game plan was,

655
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 1: but there was no running game and they concentrated on

656
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: Tannehill's legs too. They did not want him breaking the

657
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: pocket because I think they thought he's more dangerous as

658
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: a runner than a passer. What was that, Erica? Alright?

659
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: West and Gregg picked the Patriots. Oh yeah, I haven't

660
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: seen like that since the Invasion of Normandy. You're not

661
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 1: gonna I'm not. I don't even worry about this. I

662
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 1: don't get three, and I don't get the locks because

663
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: then you pick the Rams at home against the Chargers,

664
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 1: I don't mind. Anyone can take any locks, right they.

665
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: I'm looking in the mirror on this one against the

666
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 1: three and O Dolphins, a team that Greg said have

667
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: major issues for the Patriots. They were in worship. You're

668
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 1: you're the culprit on this one, West because you're saying

669
00:33:58,200 --> 00:33:59,959
Speaker 1: you're trying to stick it to Greg because you never

670
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: were bleeding in the Dolphins, so you're using Gregg's explanations

671
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: as your cover, and that doesn't They have no issue

672
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: looking in the mirror against the three and O. T.

673
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 1: Mark knows what I'm talking about. That I will say that,

674
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: you know, we look back at our grandfathers has courageous figures.

675
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: I think that our grandchildren this is the moment they

676
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: can I did. That's why I'm letting you off a

677
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 1: hook on this. The reason I did pick him as

678
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: I couldn't look in the mirror and pick the Patriots

679
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: at home America. Help me a break, give me a break,

680
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 1: and I see what you're doing. West. You're playing it

681
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,279
Speaker 1: too safe, and I'm not playing it safe. It Oh,

682
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 1: you're worried that I'm four and oh and kicking your

683
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 1: ass in the game you invented. I'm telling you you

684
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 1: you need to man that I'm running away with the

685
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 1: title like the Boston Red Sox and it's not gonna work.

686
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,319
Speaker 1: I looked in the mirror I saw a brave pick

687
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 1: against the undefeated team. Hey, you can stick it where

688
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:51,839
Speaker 1: the sun throat seine coming in Erica. What were locked

689
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: arms when we get through this firestorm? What were the Dolphins? Well,

690
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:03,760
Speaker 1: they definitely were m I A hey, now yeah, Dolphins fans.

691
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna pile on here, but anybody that was

692
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 1: coming after people in this room on Twitter, Uh, this

693
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: was kind of the game A lot of people saw

694
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: coming that the Dolphins were maybe not for real and

695
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,839
Speaker 1: the and they really got sent back to the drawing

696
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 1: in a in a really positive game for Sony Michelle.

697
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 1: And I know he was on your radar West as

698
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: a guy who was struggling. I heard from one of

699
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 1: our super listeners, Uh, a mention to all of us,

700
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 1: Mike Burkewitz, who thought you were too tough on him

701
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:32,839
Speaker 1: last week? He did have out of his fifty yards

702
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,839
Speaker 1: last week, thirty five or after contact. Rewatched re watch

703
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: Sony Michelle last week the mistakes did he made? Yeah? Mentally,

704
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 1: what I'm saying is he's run hard, and today he

705
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,359
Speaker 1: had fifty yards after contacts so far, so far through

706
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: two weeks, more than half his yards after conning. And

707
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 1: that's what I like to see he's leading. He was

708
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 1: not that impressive today. These were big holes he was

709
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 1: running through. I counted maybe once or twice where you

710
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: made a guy missed. This is not this, Sony, Michelle.

711
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,839
Speaker 1: We saw it, Georgia. Maybe he will be that guy,

712
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 1: but he wasn't that guy today. Let's move on on

713
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: the right sideline up Dotamon Creep in to fifteen to

714
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 1: the Tana vide touchdown along the right sideline portals COmON

715
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 1: Creep star Frank Frangie w o k V with the call.

716
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 1: Blake Bortles through two touchdown passes, including that sixty seven

717
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 1: yard or to donte Mont Creep, and then the Jacksonville

718
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 1: Jaguars used a dominant defensive outing performance, handling the New

719
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 1: York Jets easily h thirty one to twelve. The final

720
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 1: Bordles career high three eight yards passing uh And for

721
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:43,439
Speaker 1: the Jaguars fans who were scratching their heads after last

722
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 1: week's nine and six loss to the Titans. Loss at

723
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 1: home to the Titans, this was a welcome sight. Um

724
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: watching the game. You'll and you you boys will see

725
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,359
Speaker 1: it as well. This would not be a game where

726
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: I'm looking at what Blake Bortles did, and I'm marveling

727
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 1: at his ability to stick things into the not the

728
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 1: corn hole, the turkey hole. You gotta be careful and uh,

729
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 1: you know, looking off receivers and going through our defenders

730
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 1: or going through his progressions in some type of magnificent way. Uh.

731
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 1: The Jets played a very soft defense, uh, coverage that

732
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 1: I couldn't quite figure out, and just portals did a

733
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 1: nice job carving them up on just crossing patterns over

734
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 1: and over again, ten yards for attempt Jaguar Jaguars just

735
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,760
Speaker 1: kind of running these little crossing patterns maybe seven yards

736
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 1: over the field and then heading up field twelve to

737
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 1: fifteen yards gains. It felt like all day and um,

738
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:35,840
Speaker 1: this game wasn't even as close as the score indicates.

739
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:39,800
Speaker 1: The Jets almost from the first series, UM, were outclassed

740
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: and quite frankly, I think out coached, and and they

741
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 1: did not look good at all as a team. Uh.

742
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 1: And the Jaguars defense, although they're they're not as turnover

743
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:54,360
Speaker 1: minded as they were last year. Uh, they definitely stifled

744
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 1: the Jets on offense. Uh, Jets offense. I'll also add

745
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:01,720
Speaker 1: that I'm very concerned about Army Bates Uh, the offensive

746
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 1: coordinator and the and the scheme that he's cooking up,

747
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 1: and whether he's giving Donald a chance to succeed here

748
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: because it's highly conservative. Why at this point, Well, it

749
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: just kind of let it. It's I would say he

750
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 1: would probably say we need to be conservative, especially with

751
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff underneath, because Donald's not getting a

752
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:21,879
Speaker 1: lot of time. The offensive line was overwhelmed in this game.

753
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: It's a tough matchup. But this is now three straight

754
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 1: weeks and Jet fans were used to this type of stuff.

755
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 1: But Week one against the lines, they put up thirty

756
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 1: one points of the third quarter and a total wipeout

757
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 1: on the road. And this Jets team has just been

758
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 1: terrible for three straight weeks now, so they've come crashing

759
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 1: down to Earth. Jaguars take care of business. I imagined

760
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 1: that my father would not be happy with today's efforts.

761
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 1: So let's hear from him. His name is Key, He'll

762
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:57,320
Speaker 1: doubt about it. He's a big fan. Well is he

763
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 1: this day? Do you think today's performance by the Jets

764
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: was pitiful? I don't know what kind of defense was

765
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 1: being called by the coaches today, but it appeared to

766
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 1: be some sort of a zone defense. Which was so

767
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 1: totally ridiculous because everybody was so wide open that it

768
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 1: was almost it was so easy for Bottles that it

769
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:31,720
Speaker 1: was ridiculous. Um offensively the Jets, I don't know where

770
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 1: uh donald is going, but he certainly again for the

771
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 1: third straight game, has played worse each each week. Uh

772
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 1: this week he really should have had three picks and

773
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 1: luckily uh three of them were dropped. But once again,

774
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: a poor performance by Donald, poor performance by the Jets defense,

775
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 1: even though they had a chance to come back a

776
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: little bit. I thought the coaching staff was also to

777
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: be accountable for not being prepared to play against the Jaguas.

778
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:07,840
Speaker 1: I don't want to let um, Thank you dad. I

779
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 1: don't want to let Donald off the hook either. My

780
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 1: dad's right, he is. He missed on throws in this game.

781
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 1: He got away with some easy interceptionce Jalen Ramsey had

782
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:18,319
Speaker 1: a gimme that he dropped. Um. So he doesn't look

783
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 1: good right now either. Everything seems to be going wrong

784
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,239
Speaker 1: for the Jets. And keep an eye on this now, Mark,

785
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 1: you brought it up last on the preview show. Is

786
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 1: Todd Bowles in trouble? I really didn't think so. After

787
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,800
Speaker 1: the Browns game. But when they get out classed like

788
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:34,400
Speaker 1: this and you see it before, this is this is

789
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 1: the type of thing that can lead to w f

790
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:41,720
Speaker 1: an callers staging a revolt against the coaching staff. Bowls

791
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 1: has got to get this team turned around quickly. It's

792
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 1: one thing if you if they all thought the offensive

793
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:49,320
Speaker 1: coordinator was was this gem inside the coaching staff that

794
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: could maximize and make the most of your quarterback that

795
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 1: you're centering the franchise around. If that's not the case,

796
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 1: what is the selling point for this coaching staff right

797
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 1: out of time? And uh, it just makes you wonder,

798
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 1: why go if you're gonna have that short of hook,

799
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: why why bring it back in the first place? And

800
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: it makes you think back to when they first hired

801
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,760
Speaker 1: Todd Bowles, And I think that was on Doug Marone's

802
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 1: mind as uh he called on a fourth or after

803
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:18,280
Speaker 1: their last touchdown, he called for a two point conversion

804
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 1: up twenty nine to twelve with twenty seven seconds left,

805
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 1: And I think that was absolutely something that was inspired

806
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: by how the Jets treated him when he was up

807
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 1: for that job. And I thought for the first time,

808
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:34,880
Speaker 1: it might have been the first time in NFL history

809
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 1: that a coach was running up the score on an

810
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 1: opposing beat writer. That basically, and then know that the

811
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 1: New York Daily News and Minish Meta did everything they

812
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 1: could to make sure Doug Maron didn't get that job,

813
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: and he enjoyed where his team is at compared to

814
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 1: right now. That also feels very jetsy that they're getting

815
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 1: punished because the beat writer for the Daily News hated Doug. Yeah,

816
00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:00,800
Speaker 1: that's not just not feel fair to the fin mini's

817
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 1: not dealing well with the beat writer title. Well team columnists.

818
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:06,879
Speaker 1: Back then, it might have been let's uh, Mark, let's

819
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,399
Speaker 1: check in with the other sad team in the roof. Well,

820
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 1: the win, good winding, the church spells the Raiders are

821
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 1: a winner. Just finished Barby, not my church. That was

822
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 1: Brent Musburger. Guys, it was kg MZ with the call.

823
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 1: I forgot that he does radio for the Raiders. Now. Uh.

824
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 1: The Oakland Raiders got a touchdown on a two point

825
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 1: conversion to tie the game late in the in regulation,

826
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 1: then got that short field goal from Matt mccrane late

827
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:40,360
Speaker 1: in overtime, securing a wild forty two win over the

828
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:43,239
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns, who have reasons to be ticked off and

829
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 1: We'll get to that later, but Mark, let's start with

830
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 1: the Raiders and John Gruden, who persevered finally gotten the

831
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:50,800
Speaker 1: wind column. Howd they do it? Well? They did it

832
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 1: by doing what they've not done this season, which is

833
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 1: getting back into a game that they looked out of

834
00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 1: early on and holding on to victory and holding on

835
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 1: for the win by absolutely mauling Cleveland's defense down the

836
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 1: down the stretch. I mean when this got into overtime

837
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 1: and the way it got there we can dig into

838
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 1: in a minute. I struggled watching this because as much

839
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 1: as Cleveland was doing itself to move the ball, and

840
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:17,840
Speaker 1: there's reasons with this very young offense in Cleveland to

841
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 1: be encouraged. Uh, they are defense, which has played well

842
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 1: this season, had no answers at all for Jared Cook

843
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: for everything else that at Oakland was doing through the

844
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 1: passing game. This thing is about a nineties seven minute

845
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 1: long UH War epic on game pass. So please uh

846
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:38,320
Speaker 1: A plan accordingly? That was, and let's get to it.

847
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 1: The Browns got screwed. They should have won this game.

848
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:43,240
Speaker 1: They got a screwed as Clay Matthews and the Packers

849
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 1: got screwed. In my opinion, this was a game they

850
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:47,479
Speaker 1: were attempting to close out with an eight point lead,

851
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 1: about midway through the fourth quarter, maybe later than that. Uh,

852
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 1: they get a Carlos Hyde rush and Carlos Hyder is

853
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 1: running really well. On third down, he comes down his

854
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 1: elbow with the ball down on the l O first

855
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 1: down line. Of course that's not official, but they put

856
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:05,719
Speaker 1: the ball down spot. It measures the first down by

857
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,360
Speaker 1: half of the nose of a football. The repo was

858
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:11,360
Speaker 1: inside two minutes. Uh, so the replay comes from upstairs

859
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,399
Speaker 1: and they respot the ball and take the first down

860
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 1: of the way and and that stunning because there was

861
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 1: no evidence to indicate that he was short of the line. Uh.

862
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 1: That led to a punt and the subsequent game tying score.

863
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:26,279
Speaker 1: So bad on the Browns not getting the stop. But

864
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:29,879
Speaker 1: this game should have been over. Yeah, I these things happen.

865
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 1: But the one thing about this particular call on the

866
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 1: spot is that's one call that really how many times

867
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 1: this season is that kind of call overturned when the

868
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:42,400
Speaker 1: visual evidence is so strong. I don't, I don't, And

869
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: you know what, you can choose to get super bitter

870
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:47,400
Speaker 1: about it, But it's just one of these turns of events.

871
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 1: Where if you're Cleveland, I don't know what you say,

872
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 1: because this they also had a defensive There was one

873
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:56,279
Speaker 1: other play where they essentially maul Derek Carr. He lost

874
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,840
Speaker 1: the ball and the Browns picked it up and started

875
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 1: to run in for a touchdown, and they whistled a

876
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 1: dead saying that forward motion had not been it had

877
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 1: been stopped. And it's like the replay there also showed

878
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:09,800
Speaker 1: very clearly which should have been a Brown's defensive touchdown.

879
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 1: So it was, from an officiating standpoint, a super odd game.

880
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:16,759
Speaker 1: There were so many moments where it felt like the

881
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 1: Browns had won the game. I mean that that was

882
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 1: one of them. Then again, in such an offensive game,

883
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 1: it's unfair to put much on Baker Mayfield or the offense.

884
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 1: But they had a chance there to put the game away.

885
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 1: They went three and out. They did get the ball

886
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 1: with thirty seconds left, and they were kind they were

887
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:36,919
Speaker 1: just about on the edge of being in position to score.

888
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:39,319
Speaker 1: Mayfield forces one and gets picked off, and they did

889
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 1: get the ball in overtime, So this wasn't a just

890
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:43,719
Speaker 1: go down the field or anything. They got the ball

891
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 1: in overtime and they went three and out there, so

892
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 1: they just ran out of gas offensively, and car who

893
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 1: was maybe a little up and down this game, he

894
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:52,839
Speaker 1: threw some dimes. I mean, there's very few guys who

895
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 1: have the same touch on those over the top of

896
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 1: the zone defense passes as David Carr Derek Carr. The

897
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 1: Browns got the ball back after a fifty yard miss

898
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 1: by the Raiders kicker near midfield and they went three

899
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: and out, So they definitely have their chance. They just

900
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 1: needed the three. They couldn't get it done. And this

901
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 1: was almost like an NBA game to me, where NBA

902
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 1: games are kind of defined by runs a lot by

903
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:15,359
Speaker 1: each side, where it felt like one team took over,

904
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:17,759
Speaker 1: the other team fired back, and they just went back

905
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:19,919
Speaker 1: and forth. It's exactly how one The one thing I'd say,

906
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:22,879
Speaker 1: the one thing I'd say looking at Cleveland's just their

907
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 1: box score, is this is an incredibly young team. None

908
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 1: of almost none of these players have really played together

909
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 1: for more than a month or two. And it isn't

910
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:34,440
Speaker 1: It is a game that's so set aside from any

911
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 1: other Brown's performance over the last five years that you

912
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:38,840
Speaker 1: have you can't come out of here feeling hopeless. You

913
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 1: have to look at it and say there's something to

914
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 1: build off of here. Even with the mistakes Baker Mayfield made,

915
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 1: there's an act. There's an element of activity to this

916
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 1: offense with him on the field that you just have

917
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 1: not seen for a fun and clepetitive every week. This

918
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 1: reminds me of Michael Lombardi used to say how Greg

919
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:56,439
Speaker 1: Williams is the battleship type of coordinator in some weeks,

920
00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:58,959
Speaker 1: like the stuff he does up just doesn't work. After

921
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 1: the game, Gruden said he thought Rodney Hudson was the

922
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 1: m v P of the game because he called out

923
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:06,000
Speaker 1: and recognized who's the center for the Raiders, who called

924
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:08,879
Speaker 1: out and recognized every blitz that Williams was sending at them,

925
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 1: and they had him all protected up and it made

926
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 1: life East. That's encouraging Browns getting close. They could be

927
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 1: four and oh there one, two and one, but I

928
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:17,640
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be in the mix. Mark Hey, at

929
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 1: least they're scoring for them something points in their heartbreaking losses.

930
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:25,279
Speaker 1: Now right, let's move on here. Coumps that pressure fallows out,

931
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:27,760
Speaker 1: follows out in the ground, stooped up by the Chargers.

932
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:32,360
Speaker 1: Isaac Rochelle has it turned over Charger ball Derwin James

933
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:36,720
Speaker 1: knocks it out. We know that voice Matt money Smith

934
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:41,759
Speaker 1: k f I with the call. Isaac Rischelle's interception was

935
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:43,920
Speaker 1: the ruling on that with less than three minutes to

936
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 1: play was the decider. The turnover that helps security Chargers

937
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:50,400
Speaker 1: win over the forty nine is playing their first game

938
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:53,719
Speaker 1: without Jimmy Garoppolo. Wes Rochelle made the big play, but

939
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 1: another l A defender caught your eye in this one,

940
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:59,279
Speaker 1: Derwin James. There's no safety currently in the NFL who

941
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 1: plays like him. You have to go back to Troy

942
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 1: Paula Malo to see a safety this disruptive at the

943
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:06,880
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, and Derwin James might be even more

944
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:09,360
Speaker 1: disruptive at the line of scrimmage than Troy Polamalo. This

945
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 1: guy is in the backfield constantly every single game the

946
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:16,359
Speaker 1: Chargers play. I tuned. I tuned in about the second

947
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 1: quarter and immediately saw him hit the quarterback Batta pass

948
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:23,560
Speaker 1: sacked the quarterback, and then late in this game, another

949
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 1: hit on beth or caused caused that um interception by Rochelle.

950
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 1: But Derwin James was the star of the game. And

951
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 1: give give a hand to these Chargers running backs. Melvin

952
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:37,439
Speaker 1: Gordon and Austin Ekeler are averaging two hundred and six

953
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 1: point five yards per game and one point seven five

954
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:44,799
Speaker 1: tds per game. Compare that too, Ingram and Kamara had

955
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 1: about a hundred ninety yards per game last year and

956
00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:50,360
Speaker 1: in a touchdown and a half. The Tevin Coleman DeVonta

957
00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 1: Freeman backfield the year before that had about a hundred

958
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:54,640
Speaker 1: and fifty five yards per game and a touchdown and

959
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 1: a half. So Gordon and Ekeler, the season is still young,

960
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:00,879
Speaker 1: but they are on a record pace right now. They're

961
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 1: going against the NFL norm right now where the tight

962
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:05,279
Speaker 1: You know, the Titans don't have any running game and

963
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 1: they're scoring thirty five points. The Colts same with him.

964
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:10,319
Speaker 1: All these teams are doing it with almost no running well,

965
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 1: and the Charges are in old school. The Charges are

966
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:14,760
Speaker 1: going most of it through the air. With Gordon and Neckler,

967
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 1: I mean Gordon had a hundred yard game, but most

968
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:18,839
Speaker 1: of their damage this year has been through the air.

969
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 1: And and for the forty Niners, I thought Bethard played alright.

970
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 1: The one note I have on him, and this goes

971
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:27,399
Speaker 1: back to last year. Every time I watch this guy play,

972
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 1: I admire his toughness and think there's no way he's

973
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 1: lasted more than a month with all the unnecessary hits

974
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:34,799
Speaker 1: he takes. He will sit in the pocket and take

975
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:37,239
Speaker 1: your best shot before he releases the boat every time.

976
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 1: But he just keeps getting hit over and over again.

977
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 1: You don't want that kind of curt You know what else?

978
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:44,839
Speaker 1: I don't want Caleb Sturgis on my team. Let's let's

979
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:46,880
Speaker 1: keep it real here, miss the field goal, missed two

980
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:51,879
Speaker 1: extra points, over two on extra points, Robbie Aguayo, It's

981
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:54,760
Speaker 1: time to dig him up and get him on the fielder,

982
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 1: at least bringing some kickers, because again, week after week

983
00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:00,640
Speaker 1: after week, the Chargers get undermined by their kicking. That's

984
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:02,799
Speaker 1: that's true, and you never want to see a kicker.

985
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:04,839
Speaker 1: Missed two extra points, but he did hit some field

986
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:07,080
Speaker 1: goals down the stretch. They were shorter field goals, but

987
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:09,839
Speaker 1: at least he hit him. But I got ye. Your

988
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 1: point is, well, take special teams are still an issue

989
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:13,840
Speaker 1: with this team, and it's not just the kicker. I

990
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:16,240
Speaker 1: think the teams that passed on Derwin James that badly

991
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:19,880
Speaker 1: needed safeties. The Bucks come to mind. I gotta figure

992
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:22,520
Speaker 1: out havens come to mind to fit the Bills, the mind,

993
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:26,240
Speaker 1: the Ravens, the Raiders, the Bucks. Yet all those teams,

994
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:28,440
Speaker 1: and that was one of those on drafted where all

995
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:30,840
Speaker 1: the fans are like, why are you taking Derwin jameson?

996
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:33,480
Speaker 1: For once? By the way, on NFL dot Com about

997
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:35,720
Speaker 1: a month ago, someone in this room list of Derwin

998
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:38,040
Speaker 1: James is the Rookie of the year candidate was Greg

999
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 1: Dan or West. It might have been West, might have

1000
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 1: been Greg, but I know I know what person did

1001
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 1: just it wasn't Eric either. We did West? Just go

1002
00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:51,080
Speaker 1: third person? Mark he was He was number one on

1003
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 1: All right, well, that will be fine. We'll move on.

1004
00:50:55,960 --> 00:51:00,640
Speaker 1: That did not go well, Erica and offen tide. Hay,

1005
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:02,480
Speaker 1: he's got a big hold. He's to the thirty five

1006
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:09,240
Speaker 1: to thirty tone to the five touchdown Alan Camara forty

1007
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:12,640
Speaker 1: nine yards and that'll do it. From here in New York,

1008
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 1: New Jersey, Zack Street w w L with the call.

1009
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:21,080
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara ran for three second half touchdowns and that

1010
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 1: dormant Saints defense finally showed up an oppressive thirty three

1011
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:28,399
Speaker 1: eight team win over the Giants at MetLife Stadium. Um,

1012
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:34,799
Speaker 1: you know, g Man let me down, eating a big

1013
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 1: old L. This is why you're upset about because that

1014
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:42,880
Speaker 1: took another L. No, it is all about your decision

1015
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 1: making west my decision knowing that I got behind the

1016
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:49,560
Speaker 1: team that wasn't a heavy favorite, but I thought they

1017
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:51,359
Speaker 1: had a chance. Should have stuck with my texts. Well

1018
00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:54,200
Speaker 1: getting behind a winner. But well, then pick the Patriots

1019
00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:57,120
Speaker 1: every week. Do that, I'll pick take the trophy home.

1020
00:51:57,200 --> 00:52:00,000
Speaker 1: I'll pick the right matchup every week against an undefeat

1021
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:01,919
Speaker 1: the team. I know when you look in the mirror,

1022
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 1: you see ghosts. I see let's see four and oh baby,

1023
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 1: will let's um hit four field goals for the Saints.

1024
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:12,640
Speaker 1: Early they were knocking on the door time and time again,

1025
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:15,759
Speaker 1: and they were struggling in the red zone. The Saints were,

1026
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:18,240
Speaker 1: and you were thinking that would come back to haunt

1027
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:22,000
Speaker 1: them because the Giants would eventually start racking up yards

1028
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:24,400
Speaker 1: because the Saints been getting killed, especially on chunk plays.

1029
00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:27,400
Speaker 1: But something odd happened, or maybe not odd. Maybe there

1030
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:29,879
Speaker 1: is an explanation. And Tony Romo, who called the game

1031
00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:33,759
Speaker 1: um or did the color for this game, pointed it

1032
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:37,160
Speaker 1: out in the fourth quarter that the way to beat

1033
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:39,920
Speaker 1: the Saints defense early on the season is attack them

1034
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:42,360
Speaker 1: downfield and they don't have an answer. But the Giants

1035
00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:45,520
Speaker 1: offensive line is in such a state that they can't

1036
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:48,120
Speaker 1: even do that. So when they're down in this game, uh,

1037
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:51,000
Speaker 1: sixteen points early in the fourth quarter and they need

1038
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:53,880
Speaker 1: a quick score to get this game under control and

1039
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 1: have a chance, they can't even attack with downfilled passing

1040
00:52:57,239 --> 00:53:00,120
Speaker 1: because every time Eli takes a snap, he drops back

1041
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:01,799
Speaker 1: and there's somebody in his face. So that's a major

1042
00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:04,440
Speaker 1: issue for the Giants still, even they were a lot

1043
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:07,879
Speaker 1: better last week obviously, uh, when they got got things

1044
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 1: together and got their first win, But that is still

1045
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:12,200
Speaker 1: something that's an issue with this team. But give the

1046
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 1: Saints credit because they not only did find a way

1047
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:18,319
Speaker 1: to slow down an offense that looked really good last week,

1048
00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:21,640
Speaker 1: they were able to close this game out. And I

1049
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:25,799
Speaker 1: know that, Um, they're getting your boy mark Ingram back

1050
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:29,600
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler next week. But Alvin Kamarah is fine all

1051
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:32,320
Speaker 1: on his own because he is just an ass kicker,

1052
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 1: and he put this game away the biggest drive of

1053
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:37,600
Speaker 1: the game. In fact, the Giants had um cut the

1054
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 1: game to one score eight points and the Saints took

1055
00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:43,880
Speaker 1: over fourteen play seventy four yard drive that covers almost

1056
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:48,719
Speaker 1: seventeen minutes, chewing up almost half the fourth quarter, took control. Uh,

1057
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:51,440
Speaker 1: and then the play you heard there, Kamara putting it

1058
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:54,120
Speaker 1: away with a long run. So a nice a nice

1059
00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:56,920
Speaker 1: victory for the Saints who needed it. Dan, where are you?

1060
00:53:57,880 --> 00:54:00,359
Speaker 1: You're sort of a closet Giants fan? I would say,

1061
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:05,839
Speaker 1: you're not really? Uh, Okay, well you are. There's something

1062
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:08,040
Speaker 1: about you and the Giants that is linked. Where are

1063
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:10,399
Speaker 1: you with the Pat Shermer experience at this point? Because

1064
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:13,279
Speaker 1: some of these Giants games feel a lot like Pat

1065
00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:16,439
Speaker 1: Schremer's first coaching stint in Cleveland. To me, I don't

1066
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:18,399
Speaker 1: I don't really have a strong opinion, to be honest

1067
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 1: with you, Mark, What I can say is that Pat

1068
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:24,760
Speaker 1: Shermer took over a team that has a horrendous offensive

1069
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:26,960
Speaker 1: line and an aging quarterback who doesn't move too well,

1070
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:30,560
Speaker 1: and uh, this is proving to be highly detrimental to

1071
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:34,200
Speaker 1: their success in you can like, you can say that

1072
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:37,040
Speaker 1: they can't protect against the Saints, and I get that that,

1073
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:40,480
Speaker 1: but the Saints have a bad pass rush. And I

1074
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:42,640
Speaker 1: looked in the fourth quarter of this game, and the

1075
00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:45,439
Speaker 1: and the Giants didn't have a passing play over eleven yards,

1076
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:48,719
Speaker 1: like you have to try, like you I don't, I

1077
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:50,880
Speaker 1: don't know. You have to take shots. You just have

1078
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 1: to give it it try. Like for instance, their pass

1079
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:57,320
Speaker 1: blocking for whatever it's worth, rated out as as like

1080
00:54:57,400 --> 00:55:00,000
Speaker 1: a positive plus today for Pro Football Focus. I don't

1081
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,719
Speaker 1: think they've been as bad in previous years. And either way,

1082
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:05,720
Speaker 1: you have to give it a shot. C J. Beathard's

1083
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:08,719
Speaker 1: taking those shots. Eli Manning's not. Well, we'll see. It

1084
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:11,360
Speaker 1: is interesting watching Odell Beckham, who for most of this

1085
00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:14,080
Speaker 1: game was catching balls within about two yards of the

1086
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:17,840
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, seems like a wasteful use of the

1087
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:20,720
Speaker 1: game's most talented mode receiver. Saints might be the biggest

1088
00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 1: climber up Mount ever this week. I mean, Camara is

1089
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:29,200
Speaker 1: ann got to get you got set up there? You

1090
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 1: plug The Twitter shows Every Tuesday one thirty Pacific, four

1091
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 1: thirty Eastern our live Twitter video show. Uh, we do

1092
00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:41,280
Speaker 1: a power rankings of sorts that are called Mount Everett

1093
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:43,600
Speaker 1: and the Saints are making their move. We are are

1094
00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:46,279
Speaker 1: we doing that every week? Not every week but maybe

1095
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:48,480
Speaker 1: this week. We haven't had our pre production meeting yet.

1096
00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:50,719
Speaker 1: We are constantly working through our issues on this show.

1097
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:53,000
Speaker 1: A hundred and eighty one yards from scrimmage. He's up

1098
00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 1: to five hundred and eleven. He is an alien. On

1099
00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:59,480
Speaker 1: the week that Alvin Camara and the week that you know,

1100
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:01,799
Speaker 1: the Carter five came came out, I feel like he's

1101
00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:04,239
Speaker 1: the NFL equivalent to Little Wayne There right't there's no

1102
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:07,279
Speaker 1: one like him. He's an alien, Greg Squeez and he

1103
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:12,120
Speaker 1: he does. He likes authon camera. Do you like the

1104
00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:16,759
Speaker 1: Carter five? Oh yeah, you're in the other night now,

1105
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:19,440
Speaker 1: this is I mean, it's twenty three songs, so you

1106
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:22,120
Speaker 1: maybe have to make your own little twelve song version

1107
00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:24,000
Speaker 1: of it. But oh yeah, it's Did you have the

1108
00:56:24,040 --> 00:56:27,320
Speaker 1: colored flames out? Oh? We had magic flames out? Beautiful?

1109
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:30,120
Speaker 1: We had some casualties passed out in the grass for

1110
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:34,040
Speaker 1: a while. I heard there was the rare person passed

1111
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:36,920
Speaker 1: out while the sun was still up with that's confirmed.

1112
00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:40,919
Speaker 1: She had rallied and was back back in the mix.

1113
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:42,560
Speaker 1: By the time I was in. She had a She

1114
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:45,200
Speaker 1: had a tremendously impressive second win after being out for

1115
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:48,680
Speaker 1: three hours shot with I mean, how often do you

1116
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:51,879
Speaker 1: find like just a female passed out in your yard

1117
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:56,400
Speaker 1: and then way in this fashion. It was disquieting that

1118
00:56:56,920 --> 00:57:02,279
Speaker 1: that yeah, in fact, never greg that happened before her

1119
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:04,719
Speaker 1: arrival at my house. I was busy cooking dinner while

1120
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:07,080
Speaker 1: this was all going. Did anybody make sure that her

1121
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:10,440
Speaker 1: air passage was clear? Yes? I. I outfitted her with

1122
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:13,440
Speaker 1: a blanket and checked on her several times. West was

1123
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:15,520
Speaker 1: a very caring in his but you knew she was

1124
00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:18,840
Speaker 1: breathing because you said she was snoring like oh, like lumber.

1125
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:22,120
Speaker 1: I gotta get her on the show. Was impressive. Let's

1126
00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:26,600
Speaker 1: move on from fifty to Michael Dixon puts it down.

1127
00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:32,040
Speaker 1: The kick has got legs, it is there. Sebasti jannet

1128
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:37,920
Speaker 1: dicks it through. The Seahawks win on the last playing

1129
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:42,800
Speaker 1: the game. I love it, Steve Rabel, all right, oh

1130
00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:46,520
Speaker 1: with the call. Sebastian Janetkowski, who had missed two kicks

1131
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:49,920
Speaker 1: earlier in this game, knocked through the fifty two yarders

1132
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:55,280
Speaker 1: time expired, giving the Seattle Seahawks seventeen win over the Cardinals. Uh.

1133
00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:57,800
Speaker 1: Josh Rosen was making his first start for the Cards,

1134
00:57:57,840 --> 00:58:00,080
Speaker 1: could not get a w but showed some signs. The

1135
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:04,520
Speaker 1: Seahawks um are now two and two, but the victory

1136
00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:08,480
Speaker 1: comes at a brutal cost. Greg. Yeah, Earl Thomas had

1137
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:11,560
Speaker 1: a fracture in his lower leg. Late in the game.

1138
00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:15,200
Speaker 1: He was carted off the field. He was famously, as

1139
00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:17,680
Speaker 1: everyone listening to this probably already knows by now, seeing

1140
00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:22,880
Speaker 1: uh flashing a middle finger. No confirmation exactly, look at

1141
00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:25,600
Speaker 1: the bird towards the Seahawks, you know, sideline, But no

1142
00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:28,080
Speaker 1: one knows exactly who was at or what was going on.

1143
00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:31,800
Speaker 1: It did come after a long emotional period where both

1144
00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:35,080
Speaker 1: teams kneeled around him. Everyone knew right away how serious

1145
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:37,720
Speaker 1: this was. Pete Carroll came over and talked to him,

1146
00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:42,080
Speaker 1: and he was understandably distraught. And this, you know, it

1147
00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:44,480
Speaker 1: was his worst nightmare. I mean, it came on a

1148
00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:46,919
Speaker 1: touchdown throw. It was just it was just a bad moment.

1149
00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:49,800
Speaker 1: And then twenty minutes later, here are the Seahawks two

1150
00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:52,400
Speaker 1: and two. Despite this ugly start that they've had, they're

1151
00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:57,200
Speaker 1: kind of in fine shape. I'm sorry, I'm looking to

1152
00:58:57,280 --> 00:58:58,960
Speaker 1: see what the injury was last year? Was that the

1153
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:01,959
Speaker 1: same injury? Did? I think that was a nice traumatic pass?

1154
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:04,920
Speaker 1: I was the longest wreck, the longest just silence we've

1155
00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:06,880
Speaker 1: had on this show in a while. I was doing

1156
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:10,080
Speaker 1: some work behind the scenes to keep the show moving,

1157
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:12,000
Speaker 1: so I wasn't ready to jump in. Mark's got his

1158
00:59:12,080 --> 00:59:14,560
Speaker 1: leg up. He checked out about fifty minutes. I thought that.

1159
00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:17,640
Speaker 1: I thought that was definitely a toss to West type moments,

1160
00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:20,240
Speaker 1: so I was gonna let West go there. Let me

1161
00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:22,840
Speaker 1: let me give a little more context, uh for this game,

1162
00:59:23,160 --> 00:59:25,160
Speaker 1: Phil Dawson, I think I don't think you mentioned this.

1163
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:27,400
Speaker 1: He missed the forty five yard or that would have

1164
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:31,520
Speaker 1: given Arizona the lead with one minute fifty seconds to play.

1165
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:35,480
Speaker 1: There now oh four. And Josh Rosen greg who started

1166
00:59:35,640 --> 00:59:38,720
Speaker 1: very slowly in this game, um did seem to show

1167
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:41,080
Speaker 1: some things in the second half. Yeah, he his best

1168
00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:43,360
Speaker 1: four throws were all in the fourth quarter. He moved

1169
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:44,920
Speaker 1: the ball on a couple of drives. They were down

1170
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:47,840
Speaker 1: seventeen to ten. He had he tied up the game

1171
00:59:48,040 --> 00:59:51,160
Speaker 1: with some dimes, and then he set up what should

1172
00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:54,720
Speaker 1: have been the go ahead score. But instead of being aggressive,

1173
00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:58,800
Speaker 1: Mike McCoy and Steve Wilkes, who are on my radar,

1174
00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 1: just called three straight eight runs, including on third and six,

1175
01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:06,720
Speaker 1: to set up a forty five year old a forty

1176
01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:09,280
Speaker 1: five yard field goal. And maybe that was a slip

1177
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:11,560
Speaker 1: of the tongue because Phil Dawson is about forty five

1178
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:14,160
Speaker 1: years old. He had missed the kick earlier in the game.

1179
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:16,280
Speaker 1: And I hate this kind of coaching, and I hate

1180
01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:18,479
Speaker 1: that Pete Carroll did the exact same thing a couple

1181
01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:20,920
Speaker 1: of minutes later. Carol got away with it. Sea Bass

1182
01:00:21,040 --> 01:00:23,160
Speaker 1: that wouldn't miss a couple of kicks, nailed one and

1183
01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:27,440
Speaker 1: made him look better. But this insanely conservative play calling

1184
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:30,640
Speaker 1: of running and not trying to get closer for field goals.

1185
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:33,840
Speaker 1: McCoy and Carol, they made me sick. It's two thousand

1186
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:36,440
Speaker 1: and eighteen. Wake up, You're getting passed by all these

1187
01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:39,960
Speaker 1: offensive teams. Sea Bass in a Seahawks uniform is one

1188
01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:42,480
Speaker 1: of the most bizarre things about this I was confused

1189
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:44,400
Speaker 1: when that highlight came up because I was like, heait,

1190
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:46,400
Speaker 1: what game is that? It's borderline Jerry Rice and a

1191
01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:49,440
Speaker 1: Broncos uniform. I thought, honestly, I forgot they signed him,

1192
01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:51,440
Speaker 1: and I thought an offensive lineman was coming into kick

1193
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:53,680
Speaker 1: last week when I saw him, he needs to go up.

1194
01:00:54,520 --> 01:00:57,800
Speaker 1: It's jarring. You think he's gotta go. You think a

1195
01:00:57,840 --> 01:01:01,720
Speaker 1: little it's a little build. It's like a sausage case there.

1196
01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:05,800
Speaker 1: But but I did I was encouraged by Rosen. I'm

1197
01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:08,560
Speaker 1: not encouraged by the Seahawks just seemed a little too

1198
01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:11,160
Speaker 1: happy to whenever they would take a small lead in

1199
01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:12,880
Speaker 1: this game that to just get the game was over.

1200
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:15,919
Speaker 1: Cardinals owned four for the first time since nineteen eighties six.

1201
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:17,960
Speaker 1: They are gonna be picking in the top three. They're

1202
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:22,280
Speaker 1: bad in April, and that takes us to Sunday Night football.

1203
01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:27,000
Speaker 1: Black O, umfy down the right shot, Wine upen is

1204
01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:31,000
Speaker 1: John Brown for the touchdown, and here we go. I

1205
01:01:31,040 --> 01:01:32,840
Speaker 1: don't know if we're getting a shootout or not, but

1206
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:35,680
Speaker 1: we're off to a fast start. We did not get

1207
01:01:35,720 --> 01:01:38,400
Speaker 1: a shootout, but Joe Flacco and John Brown got the

1208
01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:42,040
Speaker 1: Ravens off to a very hot start, a fourteen nothing lead.

1209
01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:45,480
Speaker 1: Uh in the first quarter. The Steelers came back, made

1210
01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:48,200
Speaker 1: a game of it. We went into the third quarter tied,

1211
01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:51,840
Speaker 1: but then Justin Tucker did his thing and the Pittsburgh

1212
01:01:51,840 --> 01:01:55,240
Speaker 1: Steelers often sputtered again for the second straight weeks. Shut

1213
01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:58,760
Speaker 1: out in the second half to fourteen win for the

1214
01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:01,040
Speaker 1: Ravens over the Steeler as you dropped a one, two

1215
01:02:01,080 --> 01:02:05,520
Speaker 1: and one. Mark Sessler. Tough day for the Browns, but

1216
01:02:05,640 --> 01:02:09,320
Speaker 1: whenever you see Big Ben and the Steelers get beaten up.

1217
01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:12,800
Speaker 1: It's a good night, isn't it. I'm really I'd be

1218
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:17,400
Speaker 1: really concerned about the Steelers if I'm within a thousand

1219
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:20,360
Speaker 1: miles of Pittsburgh right now. Forty seven yards or so

1220
01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:22,800
Speaker 1: in the second half, the team completely went to sleep.

1221
01:02:23,360 --> 01:02:25,919
Speaker 1: At least in the past, even when Pittsburgh's defense would

1222
01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:27,520
Speaker 1: would be up and down, and it's been a very

1223
01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:30,400
Speaker 1: sloppy affair all season so far. You could count on

1224
01:02:30,440 --> 01:02:33,080
Speaker 1: this offense, especially in a Ravens game, to find a

1225
01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:35,160
Speaker 1: way to make it tight at the end in Baltimore

1226
01:02:36,320 --> 01:02:39,960
Speaker 1: dominated them over the final thirty minutes. It's another performance

1227
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:42,080
Speaker 1: by the Ravens that I think just points to them

1228
01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:45,320
Speaker 1: as an overt uh favorite in the a f C,

1229
01:02:45,480 --> 01:02:48,040
Speaker 1: a playoff type team that could go as far as

1230
01:02:48,040 --> 01:02:50,240
Speaker 1: anyone could imagine. In this game would have been an

1231
01:02:50,280 --> 01:02:53,200
Speaker 1: even bigger bow if Alex Collins hadn't fumbled the ball

1232
01:02:53,680 --> 01:02:56,520
Speaker 1: on the goal line. It's it's great when the team

1233
01:02:56,600 --> 01:02:59,200
Speaker 1: that's clearly better wins the game. And for the most

1234
01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:01,280
Speaker 1: of this game, the Ravens look like the better team,

1235
01:03:01,320 --> 01:03:03,600
Speaker 1: and I don't know what they're doing exactly at halftime

1236
01:03:04,320 --> 01:03:07,640
Speaker 1: on defense, you know, Wink Martindale deserves some credit, uh

1237
01:03:07,720 --> 01:03:10,280
Speaker 1: their coordinator that they haven't given up a touchdown in

1238
01:03:10,360 --> 01:03:12,520
Speaker 1: four games because they just were lights out and they're

1239
01:03:12,520 --> 01:03:15,400
Speaker 1: a defense where you're looking for individual players that are

1240
01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:17,720
Speaker 1: kind of standing out to talk about, and they're not

1241
01:03:17,840 --> 01:03:21,000
Speaker 1: really that defense there a the sum is greater than

1242
01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:23,360
Speaker 1: the whole, is greater than the sum of its parts.

1243
01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:26,240
Speaker 1: Marlon Humphrey is one player at cornerback that's been standing

1244
01:03:26,280 --> 01:03:27,920
Speaker 1: out this year, but other than that, it's just a

1245
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:30,880
Speaker 1: deep group that gets after you. Rookie linebacker Kenny Young

1246
01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:36,640
Speaker 1: has been really good. I think you look at the Jags, Bears, Redskins, Rams,

1247
01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:38,880
Speaker 1: and Ravens. Is the top five defenses in the NFL

1248
01:03:39,040 --> 01:03:41,680
Speaker 1: right now, and the Ravens have the best kicker in

1249
01:03:41,720 --> 01:03:45,080
Speaker 1: the NFL. They've got a quarterback who will be somewhere

1250
01:03:45,160 --> 01:03:48,720
Speaker 1: on the periphery or around the last, around the nine

1251
01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:52,320
Speaker 1: ten area in my top ten MVP candidates, Mama Mia,

1252
01:03:52,840 --> 01:03:55,280
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco is off to the best start since his

1253
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:58,400
Speaker 1: two thousand twelve Super Bowl season. He looks good. John

1254
01:03:58,440 --> 01:04:02,480
Speaker 1: Brown looks good. Okay, this might be I don't think

1255
01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:03,840
Speaker 1: this is going out a limb. This might be the

1256
01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:07,720
Speaker 1: most balanced, well rounded a FC team right now. Joe

1257
01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:11,720
Speaker 1: Flacco two three sixty two touchdowns. That is the most

1258
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:15,000
Speaker 1: yards he's ever thrown against the Steelers. And on the

1259
01:04:15,080 --> 01:04:17,760
Speaker 1: other side, you know Levy on Bell there now the

1260
01:04:17,880 --> 01:04:20,960
Speaker 1: report is that there the Steelers are actively trying to

1261
01:04:21,040 --> 01:04:23,720
Speaker 1: move him into trade but they they're they've been unable

1262
01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:26,320
Speaker 1: to find a suitor. Well, I'm wondering, and I'm sure

1263
01:04:26,360 --> 01:04:30,720
Speaker 1: sports talk radio UM in Pittsburgh it's gonna start getting

1264
01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:32,960
Speaker 1: louder the drum beat to get this guy in the

1265
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:38,200
Speaker 1: building because they need help and Ben Roethlisberger has not

1266
01:04:38,280 --> 01:04:41,320
Speaker 1: been able to carry this team. Uh and James Conner

1267
01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:44,240
Speaker 1: in this game nine carries nineteen yards. They seem to

1268
01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:46,880
Speaker 1: be missing something. Is it Levy on Bell? What can

1269
01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:49,800
Speaker 1: they do to get him in the building? That would

1270
01:04:49,800 --> 01:04:52,440
Speaker 1: be my I mean, I don't think they can locker

1271
01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:54,160
Speaker 1: room on him in the building. I think they I

1272
01:04:54,200 --> 01:04:56,600
Speaker 1: think they'd be happy to have him. But you're right West,

1273
01:04:56,600 --> 01:04:59,320
Speaker 1: they're not giving him a contract extension, So there's there's

1274
01:04:59,640 --> 01:05:02,560
Speaker 1: in They totally changed their stance on that. They're just

1275
01:05:02,880 --> 01:05:04,440
Speaker 1: waiting for him. And this is two out of the

1276
01:05:04,520 --> 01:05:06,720
Speaker 1: last three games James Conner has been held under twenty

1277
01:05:06,800 --> 01:05:09,480
Speaker 1: yards rushing. He's not the problem. He's catching passes. It's

1278
01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:12,600
Speaker 1: just the whole offense in general has disjointed. Antonio Brown's

1279
01:05:12,920 --> 01:05:15,880
Speaker 1: not quite been himself. Certainly make him in the locker

1280
01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:17,720
Speaker 1: room tonight. And we did ask I we asked the

1281
01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:20,440
Speaker 1: question going into the season. Was Ben Ben finished last

1282
01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:22,920
Speaker 1: season strong but it was an up and down year?

1283
01:05:23,040 --> 01:05:25,640
Speaker 1: Was that a sign of some slippage? And so far

1284
01:05:26,120 --> 01:05:28,600
Speaker 1: this year he hasn't played as as well as you

1285
01:05:28,600 --> 01:05:33,440
Speaker 1: would expect him to. The problems some problems in Pittsburgh.

1286
01:05:33,480 --> 01:05:35,600
Speaker 1: Did they get it straight down right? Now? They're tied

1287
01:05:35,640 --> 01:05:37,000
Speaker 1: with the Browns at the bottom of the n f

1288
01:05:37,080 --> 01:05:41,640
Speaker 1: C North. So the Baltimore Ravens three and one looking feisty,

1289
01:05:41,920 --> 01:05:45,800
Speaker 1: the Steelers in trouble. Uh, there's one more game on
