Joe Burrows back with us 15 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 1: tough Sunday loss to the Ravens, talks about what his 16 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: Bengals need to fix, the criticism of Zach Taylor, and 17 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 1: names his favorite players not in his own team. Also, 18 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: Chad Millman Sharper Square Week six best bets first though, 19 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 1: my top takes of the week. So it's interesting. There's 20 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:25,479 Speaker 1: been great debate on the Draymond Green fight, if this 21 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: happens a lot or if it's a rare occurrence, so 22 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: Kevin Durant said, I think it's rare. Jeff Van Gundy said, 23 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: I think it's rare. Damian Lillard said, I've seen it 24 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: more in college than pros, but it happens all the time. 25 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,320 Speaker 1: Steve Kerr said he saw it at least twenty times. 26 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: So who's telling the truth. Let's label it a skirmish. 27 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 1: Guys square each other up, Guys get each other on 28 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: a headlock, Guys swing and miss, Guys flail. I mean 29 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: even the fights we've seen during games. How many knockouts 30 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: are there baseball, football, basketball, hockey? Not that many, right, 31 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,519 Speaker 1: But a fight a skirmish. So I think it happens 32 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: a lot because I've been told it happens a lot 33 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: by people I trust, like Dame and Steve Kurt. Jeff 34 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: van Gundhi came out and said it just doesn't happen 35 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: very often. And the irony of Jeff Van Gundhi saying 36 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 1: it is quite interesting. The one coaching memory I have 37 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: of Jeff Van Gundhi is in a fight, holding the 38 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: leg of a player at the bottom of a scrum. 39 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: This stuff never happens. Jeff. That's the only thing I 40 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: ever remember about you holding out of a leg during 41 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: a fistfight. So Van Gundhi said it doesn't happen often, 42 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: yet acknowledged he saw two fistfights. So let's use it. 43 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: Jeff van Gundhi as the median right half the coaches 44 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 1: in the last say, twenty years, I've seen less than 45 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: Jeff and half more. So we looked it up today. 46 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:08,359 Speaker 1: In the last twenty years, easy number. There's been a 47 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: hundred forty one NBA coaches. One hundred forty one if 48 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: on average they've seen two skirmishes, and that's the word skirmish. 49 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: Sometimes you swing and miss, sometimes you wrestle. Sometimes it's 50 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: a headlock. Sometimes players interviewed, sometimes you'll land a punch. 51 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: One hundred forty one coaches twenty years, if each is 52 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: seen two, it's happened two hundred and eighty two times. 53 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: Does that sound infrequent? Steve kurse that he's seen twenty 54 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: So I was talking to somebody who was very very 55 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: close with Steve Kerr, so I covered Steve Kerr in Portland. 56 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: I don't know Steve well but well enough that if 57 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: I saw him at a restaurant. I'd stopped by, We'd 58 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: shoot the shit. He'd ask a question, I'd ask a question, 59 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: very respectful. Steve and I got along great, very smart guy. 60 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: So somebody I know that knows Steve Kerb very well. 61 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: When he asked him about that fight, and this person 62 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: you know said you were in a fight, the Michael 63 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: Jordan fight, Kerr's response was, yeah, it looked a lot 64 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: like that. Of course it did. Michael Jordan got a 65 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,239 Speaker 1: flush punch on Steve Kerb. You didn't see the video, 66 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: so you hold Michael Jordan, the great leader, in very 67 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: high esteem. That's the difference. Fifties, the sixties, the seventies, 68 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: the eighties, and the early nineties. We didn't have TMZ, 69 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: we didn't have iPhones, we didn't have access to this. 70 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: A couple of weeks ago, people freaked out because Ken 71 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: Dorsey threw headsets in a coaching cubicle upstairs at an 72 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: NFL game. I've sat next two coaching cubicles. That happens 73 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: every game, yelling, screaming, cussing, throwing things. Did you see 74 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: their reaction around Ken Dorsey by the other coaches. They 75 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: didn't even flinch during the Draymon fight, people moved over, 76 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: but the coach's initial reaction if you saw the six 77 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: or seven people they moved over, They didn't rush, they 78 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 1: didn't act like this was a once in a lifetime moment. 79 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that big knockout punches happened all the time. 80 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: But when Tiger Woods had an affair, the outrage over 81 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: Tiger Woods, I thought was incredibly laughable. Two or three 82 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: of the most popular golfers of all time were known 83 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: as absolute dogs on the tour. But you didn't have 84 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: paparazzi Tiger Woods face that. You didn't have iPhones, you 85 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: didn't have bloggers, the media people invading your space. Don't 86 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:10,280 Speaker 1: confuse something is rare and you just haven't seen it before. 87 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:17,479 Speaker 1: There's a big difference. So Ron Rivera on Sunday was 88 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 1: asked what the primary issue was with the Washington football team, 89 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,720 Speaker 1: the Commanders, and in a one word answer, he said, 90 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 1: quarterback ug He walked it back. He had a miacolpa, 91 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: But there are certain miakulpas that just don't work. It's 92 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: out there. Will Smith to Chris Rock not really a 93 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: miaculpa moment. I think Ron Rivera and Mike Zimmer and 94 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick and Vic Fangio and Brian Flores are your 95 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: sort of classic archetypal defensive head coaches. And I'm not 96 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: talking Woody Hayes of the seventies, but there's a way 97 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,479 Speaker 1: they want to win and it's ball control, running game, 98 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: and very few turnovers. I think that's something that really 99 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: really bothers a defensive coach is the turnover, the interception. 100 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll, it just cannot get past turnovers. And the 101 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: truth is, if they're between the thirty five's, they're just 102 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: a change of possession, right. You don't want to turn 103 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 1: it over at the one yard line your territory or theirs. 104 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: But because now there's no huddle, each offense gets about 105 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: twelve to fifteen more snaps per game, and over the course, 106 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: I mean Tom Brady's now throwing forty five fifty times 107 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: a game, you're going to have an interception. You've got 108 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: to take the good with the bad, and I think 109 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: a lot of these defensive coaches really struggle with it. 110 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: Sean McVay knew when he brought in Matt Stafford he 111 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: threw picks. Matt Stafford was at times reckless Joe Burrow 112 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: throws interceptions. You know who doesn't Aaron Rodgers. He can't 113 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: get out of the first round. So my takeaway is 114 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: Ron Rivera may apologize, but that's how he thinks. I mean, 115 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: I've said this before. There are certain mistakes that it's 116 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: like who you are, right, and you can apologize and 117 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: you can genuinely feel bad about saying them, but it's 118 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: what you believe. And I think the way Ron Rivera 119 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: sees football is very much in line with a defensive 120 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 1: coach in his fifties, and to him, Carson Wentz at 121 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: times can be reckless. But I will note this. The 122 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: Cults were ninth in scoring last year. Wentz leaves their 123 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: thirty second. There is an upside to Carson Wentz. He 124 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 1: is dynamic, whether Ron Rivera wants to acknowledge it or not. 125 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: Football seasons underway.

So I just found 158 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 1: this out today, Joe. This Bengals team is the first 159 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 1: team in league history to lose three of their first 160 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: five games on the last play of the game. So 161 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: somebody said this years ago. I don't know if it's 162 00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 1: true that you're better to get blown out. You can 163 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 1: bury the tape. It doesn't matter that losing close is 164 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: just as a killer. And I think to myself, no, 165 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: because essentially, if you'd have had the ball last, you'd 166 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,439 Speaker 1: have won. I thought you did, so, like, where are 167 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: you emotionally after losing a game like that? Yeah, it 168 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 1: was you let yourself be devastated for about two hours, 169 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: and then you go watch the tape and it's onto 170 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: the next week. That's life in the NFL. You know, 171 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: we got plenty of football left. Obviously, we're disappointed with 172 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 1: you know how we've lost the games that we've lost, 173 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 1: but you know, I think that we've progressed nicely. Would 174 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 1: have liked to have won the last game, but I 175 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,839 Speaker 1: think we learned a lot of lessons from that game 176 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: going forward that I think we're going to help us. 177 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: I think the greatest compliment you can pay a young 178 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 1: quarterback is to take away something from him. You and 179 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes literal relead the league now is like, okay, 180 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 1: they burn us over the top. We're not allowing that anymore. 181 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: And statistically it's showing up as fewer big plays. I 182 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: watched you the other night. You look patient to me. 183 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: But in the end, part of your secret sauce last year, 184 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: Joe was big plays. Can you scheme those? Like? Where 185 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: are you on that in that area? Well, you know, 186 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: the three games that we've lost, we haven't had any 187 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 1: big plays, and the column denominator and all three games 188 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,079 Speaker 1: is that we've fallen behind early. You know, the two 189 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: games we've won, we jumped out to a lead. Defenses 190 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: had to be more aggressive because we were leading and 191 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: allowed us to hit some of those big plays. When 192 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 1: you get down ten nothing early, you know defenses are 193 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 1: going to be as aggressive. They're not going to play 194 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: man to man as much as you would like them to. 195 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: And so you know, we fought back, got a tie 196 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: to the lead at the end, but you know, if 197 00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: we jump out early, teams are going to have to 198 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,199 Speaker 1: our play is more man to man, be more aggressive, 199 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 1: and no, I thought overall, you know, the first quarter 200 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 1: was poor. No, we didn't move the ball the way 201 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,599 Speaker 1: we liked too. But then after that we went touchdown 202 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: two minute field goal, and then I had the bad 203 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: interception in the second half, and then we had two 204 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,199 Speaker 1: drives after that one touchdown and when we got down 205 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: to the two, So we moved the ball well after 206 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: that first quarter. Just got to find a way to 207 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: punch it in the end zone and make those plays 208 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 1: at the end of the game that end up winning 209 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 1: the game for you. I've always I always feel, what 210 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 1: do I know, that play callings a little overrated, that 211 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: play efficiency. If you do the play right, you're fine. 212 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,440 Speaker 1: Fans just crush play calling. Zach Taylor's just getting killed. 213 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: And my takeaway is this is hard. You know, they're 214 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: they're they're reading your audibles. Do you ever look at 215 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: a game after and say, oh, I should have fought 216 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 1: for this play. Oh, I can't believe we did We 217 00:13:55,080 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 1: did that. You always look back and evaluate everything that 218 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 1: goes on the game. You know, for me, I'm evaluating 219 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: every single player. I could have thrown it here. If 220 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: I would have done this instead of this, it might 221 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: have won us the game. And that's always happened. That 222 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 1: always happens when you lose a game. Everybody wants to 223 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 1: talk about the decision to go forward on fourth down. 224 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 1: If we end up scoring on that play, we go 225 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 1: up four points and it changes the entire game. So, 226 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: you know, I'm try happy with that decision. You look 227 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: at that moment in the game and we had just 228 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: started moving the ball really well, their offense has started 229 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 1: to roll a little bit. You get that touchdown completely 230 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 1: changes the game we're talking about, right, It is there 231 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 1: ever a time that you have ever said to a coach? 232 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: I heard Peyton Manning say this about two months ago 233 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: on ESPN. He said, sometimes you're just struggling to get 234 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: four yards. He goes, I've I've turned to the coach 235 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: and say, you know, just get points. We're not blocking them. 236 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 1: This year, has there ever been a point where you're like, listen, 237 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: just take the points. No. I would always, you know, 238 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 1: whatever whatever Zach or any of our coaches decided to do, 239 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: it's our job to go out and execute. And I 240 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 1: love being putting those do or die spots on fourth 241 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 1: down if you got to. You know, those are high 242 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 1: pressure situations that I feel like I excel in. And 243 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 1: you know, if you you know, those are game turning, 244 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: game changing plays, and if you get that fourth down, 245 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: if you get the fourth downs throughout the game, you're 246 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 1: going to completely change the outcome of the game. And 247 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: so you're gonna have to take gambles in this league sometime, 248 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: and sometimes they don't pay off and you're gonna lose 249 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: the game. But sometimes they do and then you're a 250 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 1: genius when you do it. And so it just took 251 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: the outcome. Hindsight is always twenty twenty and you can 252 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: look back and determine what you think he should have 253 00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: done in that situation. But you know, like I said, 254 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 1: if we get it completely different narrative. You know, it's 255 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 1: funny you Trent Dilford drew bled. So every quarterback that 256 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 1: I have talked to at length in my life has 257 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: said the exact same thing you said last week. There's 258 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: halves I don't remember, like I play quarterback. I've been hit. 259 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 1: I've been hit and I don't even know I'm hit. 260 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: Were you surprised how quotable that was? I mean, I 261 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 1: thought it was Joe Burrows being totally honest. I even 262 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: got hit in high school. Now it was single life 263 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 1: football and it was probably a five eight defensive back. 264 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 1: But were you surprised that it kind of took off socially? Yeah? 265 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: You know, Fortunately for me, I'm not exactly on the 266 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: internet and non social media all the time, so I'm 267 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: not seeing all the reactions. But I think if you 268 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 1: talk to any player throughout the entire league, they're gonna 269 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: have the same story that I had. That's just part 270 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 1: of the game. You can do all you can to 271 00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: make it safer and help eliminate those kind of things, 272 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, it's a violent 273 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,959 Speaker 1: game and those things are going to happen. Yeah, So 274 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 1: there's obviously I was talking to Mike Pereros today, the 275 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: former head of officials, about like the Jarrett Brady call 276 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 1: or the Chris Jones call, and I'm like, man, it 277 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:21,440 Speaker 1: feels like an overreach. And I he surprised me. He 278 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: said he doesn't think the league has talked to officials. 279 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 1: He thinks officials read the paper and they watch shows 280 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,879 Speaker 1: and they feel like we got to protect the quarterback. 281 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:33,959 Speaker 1: And when you watch, if you watch the Derek Carmo, 282 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 1: I thought it was the best defensive play of the 283 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: year by a defensive line. And I thought Chris Jones 284 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: did something that's insane, literally gets a sack and a 285 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,119 Speaker 1: turnover simultaneously. I thought, Jarrett, who's an I don't know 286 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: if you played against him, He's just a fantastic player. 287 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,200 Speaker 1: I didn't think his was a penalty. When you see 288 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 1: those and it's protecting your position, how does it land 289 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:56,160 Speaker 1: for you? I think it depends on the individual play. 290 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: I think thee having into the quarterbacks knees is a 291 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 1: good route. No, that's you know, it wasn't It wasn't 292 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,159 Speaker 1: malicious when I got hurt. It was a it was 293 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 1: an accident, but that's how I got hurt. My rookie year, 294 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 1: and it's a very dangerous play. Um. And you see 295 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 1: the full body weight rule. You know, that's how Aaron 296 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 1: Rodgers broke his collarbone back in the day. That's how 297 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 1: quarterbacks hurt their shoulders. And so I think it's just 298 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 1: depends on how we want the game to be officiated. 299 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: Do you want you want your best players and high 300 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 1: best marketable athletes out on the field that at all times, 301 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: or do you want to have the big hits that 302 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 1: everybody loves. You know, it's a it's a given take. 303 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: I think there's probably a happy medium that you know, 304 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 1: we can find, but I think we're getting into that 305 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: in that direction. It's such an emotional game. Um. And 306 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 1: today I Tuesday, as I always do my top ten 307 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 1: and I had I had you guys it like seven 308 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 1: or eight and the guy in the shows like they're 309 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 1: like two and three, and I said, they're not standings. 310 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 1: I do this because of what I believe. I watched 311 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: the games. I'm like, that game is just a to 312 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 1: tennis match. Last serve wins. I thought Joe won the game. 313 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,959 Speaker 1: That it's you know, Lamar's great, but it is interesting 314 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,160 Speaker 1: when I watched both of you that game is that 315 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 1: it was uneven like you, you struggled early. He had 316 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 1: a couple of passes where he missed it. In basketball, Joe, 317 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: it's understood that the guy gets hot like Jordan gets hot, 318 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 1: Kobe gets hot. I felt you had a point in 319 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 1: the second half. I'm like, you're really in his zone. 320 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,880 Speaker 1: I can I watch your feet. Your feet get light 321 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,479 Speaker 1: and I know I'm maybe reaching here, but when I 322 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 1: watch you, I feel like when you're in your zone, 323 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 1: you play light, you move, You're kind of like bouncing. 324 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 1: Does that make sense when you're in his zone? What 325 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: do you feel like? Yeah, I feel like the defense 326 00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 1: is slowing down for me, and that happens more later 327 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 1: in the game. Are going into a recil game. We've 328 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: been facing different coverages than teams have been showing on tape, 329 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 1: just because of how explosive our receivers are, how good 330 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 1: we were on offense last year, and so the beginnings 331 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 1: of games have kind of been a feeling out process, 332 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: and I think at the end of games we've been good. 333 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,120 Speaker 1: We just need to find a way to make those 334 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:25,679 Speaker 1: adjustments faster so we don't waste an entire quarter in 335 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:29,880 Speaker 1: three possessions trying to figure it out, and I thought, 336 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,880 Speaker 1: you know, I got in my zone about midway through 337 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 1: the second quarter. Now I was feeling good, which is 338 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 1: why I was so disappointed in the interception, really bad 339 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: interception for me that you know, I felt like cost 340 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 1: us the game. And other than that play the second 341 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 1: quarter on I felt like I was playing lights out, 342 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 1: and you know, that one was disappointing for me. So, Okay, 343 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: you're you're four or five, You're five games into a season, 344 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:04,439 Speaker 1: so essentially you know you're past the quarter mark. What 345 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: are you happy about right now? Like? What is something? 346 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 1: If I have a bad day or a bad week, 347 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: I try to go back and kind of embrace the 348 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 1: good part. Let's figure out what I did right What 349 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 1: are you happy with right now? With your playing the 350 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 1: Bengals overall, I'm really happy with the way we've fought 351 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,160 Speaker 1: back in the games that we've lost. You know, we've 352 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: been down, We're down big too Steelers, down big to 353 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 1: the Cowboys, down ten enough and early in the game 354 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: to the Ravens, and we end up finding back and 355 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 1: putting ourselves in position to win every single game. So 356 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 1: that's what I've been happy with. Disappointed in the way 357 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:45,160 Speaker 1: that those games turned out, and you know the lack 358 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,879 Speaker 1: of explosives in those games. But like I said, if 359 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,400 Speaker 1: you get behind the chains and you're in second and ten, 360 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 1: it's going to be tough to hit those big players 361 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: down the field. And I think we're getting better better 362 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,159 Speaker 1: at taking the checkdowns and learning those two yard catches 363 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: into eight yard games and moving to the ball down 364 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 1: the field six seven, eight yards at a time. That's 365 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: what we did in the second half. You know, we 366 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 1: had two eight minute drives, twelve fifteen play drives that 367 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 1: you know, we're big parts of the game. We only 368 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 1: had three drives in the second half, and one of them, 369 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,640 Speaker 1: like I said, was my horrible interception. But other than that, 370 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 1: you know, we methodically moved the ball down the field. 371 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 1: And I think that's what we're gonna have to do 372 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 1: going forward, and we're just gonna have to do it 373 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 1: earlier in games. I mean, God, Kansas City was down 374 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 1: seventeen nothing last night. Like I've been telling people this 375 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: for years, we'll never have in my lifetime again a 376 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:46,360 Speaker 1: bad wide receiver class in the NFL draft. Like in California, Joe, 377 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 1: I follow recruiting because I've been into it for years. 378 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,720 Speaker 1: The top one hundred players next year in high school 379 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: in California, like thirty or wide receivers. And the way 380 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: my look at it is, if I was young and 381 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,879 Speaker 1: talented and I was twelve, I'd want to be a 382 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: receiver or a quarterback. You can't hit me. I make money. 383 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,440 Speaker 1: The girls like me. I get on TV. I mean 384 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,920 Speaker 1: it's seriously, like young people start the culture. Like I. 385 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 1: I look at it right now and I just think 386 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 1: the new NFL. You're in the new NFL, A seventeen 387 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 1: nothing lead is like all right, I mean serious, when 388 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: you your first year football, seventeen nothing lead. The games over? Yeah, seriously, 389 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,680 Speaker 1: high school it's over. I mean so like when you're 390 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: when you're in a game now, can you sense like 391 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: offense is fast, the receivers. I mean, it's it's a 392 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 1: different game today than it was for you fifteen years 393 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 1: ago and you took your first snaps it it is 394 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 1: and you know, like you said, it's a quarterback and 395 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:47,159 Speaker 1: receiver league now. And you see defenses adjusting and changing 396 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 1: the way that they play because of it. And you 397 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:54,679 Speaker 1: see the the Tyreeks, the Jamars, the Davante Adams, you 398 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 1: know they're they're changing defensive structure in a way that 399 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,239 Speaker 1: hasn't really been done before. And that's part of the 400 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 1: rules these days, and it's part of the growth of 401 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: the game and the seven on seven culture growing up. 402 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 1: People are throwing and catching way earlier than they ever 403 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 1: have been in the past. And you know, quarterbacks are 404 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,399 Speaker 1: just going to continue to get better and better. And 405 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,640 Speaker 1: I think you really see it in the diversity of 406 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 1: skill sets that quarterbacks have in the NFL today. You know, 407 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 1: you have Kyler Murray, who the knock on emmagy short, 408 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 1: but he makes up for it with his speed and accuracy. 409 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,919 Speaker 1: And then you have Justin Herbert, who's the big, strong, 410 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 1: prototypical quarterback of the past, but he can move. And 411 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 1: you have me, the tall, skinny kid that can move 412 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 1: and is accurate, may not have the biggest arm. And 413 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,440 Speaker 1: you have the Lamars, the Josh Allens, the Patrick Mahomes. 414 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 1: I mean, everybody is and it's Tom Brady's still playing 415 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 1: really well. It's just such a diversity of skill sets 416 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 1: throughout the league that he's really great for the game 417 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 1: and great for young people. You don't have to be 418 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: six five, two fifty anymore to be a quarterback in 419 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 1: the league. And I think it's going to continue to show. 420 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: So when Jimmy Garoppolo was in New England, Tom Brady's 421 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,400 Speaker 1: the goat and he didn't want him there, and it's 422 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 1: pretty well documented he was like, I don't want to 423 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 1: be sharing snaps. So it's easy for everybody to say 424 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 1: you're the starter, Dack, he's the backup. That sounds good, 425 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 1: But if my company hired somebody and he took over 426 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 1: for me for five weeks and the ratings went up, 427 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 1: I haven't doing this forever, I'd be like, I'm not 428 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 1: a big fan of that. So what if your backup 429 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,159 Speaker 1: ones like the Cowboys one's five or six straight games? 430 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:47,199 Speaker 1: Would there be that? Would you get up in the 431 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,399 Speaker 1: morning and think, Okay, I gotta take more protein powder? 432 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm rooting. You obviously want your team to win, 433 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,879 Speaker 1: but it's I think it is hard, like when you 434 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: were out, you want your team to win. Obviously, somebody 435 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 1: once told me, like, there's really only one quarterback in 436 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,479 Speaker 1: a roster. You know this at Ohio State, you're the 437 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:09,159 Speaker 1: starter or you're just literally not in the plans? Do 438 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 1: you think about that, like grateful to be the starter? 439 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,160 Speaker 1: What if I wasn't the starter. The Dallas that when 440 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,119 Speaker 1: you hear guys like me or people talk about the 441 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:21,199 Speaker 1: backup situation, what do you make of it? You know, 442 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,879 Speaker 1: that's a tough one because you know, it's easy to 443 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 1: sit on the outside and say, you know, this guy's 444 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 1: the starter, this guy's the backup. But when you're in 445 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 1: it and you're feeling it, it definitely creates more of 446 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 1: an urgency to get back and one to get back 447 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: as fast as you can. But two also it's a 448 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 1: double sided coin. Make sure you're completely healthy so when 449 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: you are back, you're able to play well and do 450 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 1: we need to do the win the game. And so 451 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 1: you know that's a part of the reason that you know, 452 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 1: when I hurt my knee, I wanted to make sure 453 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: I came back and play the entire in the next 454 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 1: season and be back week one. You know, I had 455 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 1: I had a good start to my career, but you know, 456 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,919 Speaker 1: I hadn't really proven anything yet, and I still to 457 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 1: this day feeling like I have to prove myself. And 458 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 1: that was a big part. I think the best quarterbacks 459 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 1: are always trying to prove themselves to the world, to themselves, 460 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:26,119 Speaker 1: to their coaches, to the ownership, and so it's always 461 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 1: tough when you're down and you know your team's playing 462 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:33,880 Speaker 1: great without you. Obviously it's a great thing for when 463 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,639 Speaker 1: you come back, but you know, it always creates a 464 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:40,359 Speaker 1: sense of urgency. This week's gold medal performance goes to 465 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:44,159 Speaker 1: the team who, despite losing a big star, hasn't missed 466 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 1: a beat. After a while, Monday Night football went over 467 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,440 Speaker 1: the Raiders. The Chiefs just keep rolling. No Tyreek Hill, 468 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 1: no problem, Patrick Mahomes still great, Travis Kelsey still open, 469 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 1: and you read the coach still brilliant. Tyreek was a 470 00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 1: huge piece of Kansas City's offense, but like Brady and Grounk, 471 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 1: the team is carried by Mahomes and Kelsey. No one 472 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 1: is slowing down this Kansas City freight train anytime soon. 473 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:12,119 Speaker 1: This week's gold medal performance sponsored by Legacy Precious Metals. 474 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,199 Speaker 1: The stock market's been plumbering, many economists predicting it's just 475 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 1: the beginning, which could mean tremendous losses in your portfolio.

He's always very intense. He 492 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 1: wasn't he wasn't on the field for one of our 493 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 1: games last year, and you can really feel the difference 494 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 1: in that defense when he's on the field. He's such 495 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 1: a good player, makes place at a lot of defensive 496 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 1: ends can't make. He's not just a pass rusher. He 497 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 1: really understands quarterbacks drops and when it might be a 498 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 1: deeper pass and he can rush the passer and when 499 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,720 Speaker 1: it's quick game and he can stop and get his 500 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: hands up. Both both Watt brothers are are really good 501 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 1: at batting balls, and so's he's a great player. The 502 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 1: most talented receiver not on the Bengals is I mean, 503 00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 1: Tyree Hill is always fun to watch. Davante Adams playing 504 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 1: against him last year was unreal in person. When Tyree 505 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 1: Hill gets the ball in his hands, it just looks 506 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 1: different than everybody else. He's just moving at a different speed. 507 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 1: It's pretty incredible. Is there a player that you look 508 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 1: at in the NFL and think he'd be great on 509 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 1: the Bengals. You know, there's a lot of great player. 510 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give the stereotypical quarterback answer on this one. 511 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 1: There's a lot of great players in the league that 512 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 1: you would love to play with every week. You know, 513 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 1: there's somebody that you got to pay attention to that 514 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 1: is going to be a game wrecker. And you know, 515 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 1: the more the more great players you can have on 516 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 1: your team, the better. All Right, the player on another 517 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 1: team and maybe you answered it, it is so good 518 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 1: you think he may be an alien. Lebron James said 519 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 1: this about a French player that's eighteen years old. The 520 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 1: other day he's like, I think he's an alien. He's 521 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 1: seven to four and shoots like a guard who's the 522 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 1: most physically impressive. Like, if you ever shirts off or 523 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 1: you're on the sidelines, are you watching me? You're like, 524 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 1: what is that? Oh, Miles Garrett is an absolute freak 525 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 1: of nature. If you've I mean, unbelievable. Cam Hayward is 526 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 1: a pretty impressive human being in person. The first time 527 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 1: I played him, I thought he looked like a bear. 528 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 1: He's so big and strong. I mean, there's a lot 529 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 1: of people like that. Those two guys are the first 530 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,560 Speaker 1: two that come to the mind in order vision though. Yeah, 531 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 1: your division, by the way, as Myles Garrett, Hayward T J. Watt, 532 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 1: Oh my god, you picked a bad division, a soft 533 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 1: pass rush. God, it's brutal. We've talked about your fashion before. 534 00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 1: Who have you ever looked at in the league and 535 00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 1: thought he gets it fashion wise? He gets it. It's 536 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:04,640 Speaker 1: a good question. I'm not sure there's a lot of 537 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:09,840 Speaker 1: people with I think not everybody likes to mix it up. 538 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 1: You know, some people are suits on game day, some 539 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,800 Speaker 1: people are you know, more street where I like to 540 00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,760 Speaker 1: mix it up. You know the occasional suit, occasional street 541 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 1: where a guy on our team that I think is 542 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:30,960 Speaker 1: has great fashion is Cheeto Cheto Woozier our corners. He's Nigerian. 543 00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,560 Speaker 1: He has a lot of great I mean, just great 544 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,960 Speaker 1: outfits that are very pertinent towards culture. You should go 545 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 1: check some of those out there, really really really cool 546 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:44,440 Speaker 1: to look at. Finally, it's week five. How do you feel? 547 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 1: Are you sore? You told me you bruised like a peach. 548 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 1: We're doing this interview on Tuesday. You just played a 549 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 1: division rival. How do you feel today? What is? What 550 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 1: is Tuesday afternoon? Joe Burrow feel like my body actually 551 00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 1: feels great today. I'm feeling strong in the weight room, 552 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:03,080 Speaker 1: and my workouts are starting to get back to where 553 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 1: they were pre appendix surgery, and so I'm starting to feel, 554 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 1: you know, my body is starting to get to mid 555 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:14,120 Speaker 1: season four. I'm happy with it. I'm feeling fast, feeling strong, 556 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 1: ready to go. Time for another edition of sharp Oars 557 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:26,560 Speaker 1: Square with our betting superhero, Chad Millman, ce CEO of 558 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 1: the Action Network. All odds provided by a fan duel. 559 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 1: Oh can add a losing week, but it was a 560 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,240 Speaker 1: half a point within a winning week. Let's start with this. 561 00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 1: The betting public overreacts. Giants beat the Packers. Now everybody 562 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:47,760 Speaker 1: thinks the Giants are suddenly a great team. Ravens, we're 563 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:51,080 Speaker 1: minus five now six. That's a dead numbers. You told 564 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 1: me last week. Minus five. The Ravens are the better team. 565 00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 1: The Ravens just faced the Bengals and it looked ugly 566 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:03,200 Speaker 1: because it's a divisional foe, and Cincinnati's a pretty good team. 567 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,400 Speaker 1: Minus five, minus six, the Ravens are gonna go in 568 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,719 Speaker 1: right back to reality for the Giants. By the way, 569 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:13,759 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones is a better road quarterback than a home quarterback. 570 00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:17,280 Speaker 1: I take the Ravens to cover Sharper Square. Did somebody 571 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:23,440 Speaker 1: send you my script before I came on, because I 572 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 1: don't even I'm flabbergasted at the thoughtfulness, at the strategy, 573 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:34,160 Speaker 1: at the reaction, at how you're reading the market, how 574 00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:38,279 Speaker 1: you're thinking strategically about the numbers. You've said it all, 575 00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:42,520 Speaker 1: Colin Cowherd, you it's almost like you've graduated. The wise 576 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:45,600 Speaker 1: guys are all over the Ravens. Okay, it moved from 577 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,080 Speaker 1: three and a half to five and a half. As 578 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:50,120 Speaker 1: you said to six. I think six. The six is 579 00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:54,840 Speaker 1: always the line of demarcation in betting, especially now, because 580 00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,440 Speaker 1: these coaches are all cuckoo right, and you don't know 581 00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:58,840 Speaker 1: if they're gonna go for it, and you don't know 582 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:00,279 Speaker 1: if they're gonna go for the extra po point, if 583 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:03,160 Speaker 1: they're going to go for the two point conversion. So 584 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,879 Speaker 1: you're right on the number. Play it up to six, 585 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 1: you're right on the side. Here's what's really interesting. Eighty 586 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,120 Speaker 1: five percent of his money is on the Ravens right now, 587 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,400 Speaker 1: but you're still seeing some tickets come in on the 588 00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 1: Giants because of everything you just said that public perception, 589 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:24,000 Speaker 1: people are buying into the four and one Giants. What 590 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:27,680 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson is really really good at, in addition to 591 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:33,120 Speaker 1: growing so much over the past couple of years, understanding 592 00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:34,680 Speaker 1: where he is on the field when he's running with 593 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:39,040 Speaker 1: the ball, he's great against the blitz, and the Giants 594 00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator Wink Martindale, who obviously spent all those years 595 00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:45,640 Speaker 1: with the Ravens, loves to blitz. So you've got a 596 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,799 Speaker 1: great quarterback against the blitz, a defensive coordinator who likes 597 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,319 Speaker 1: the blitz. You've got Ronnie Stanley on the offensive line 598 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,880 Speaker 1: who was alternating snap series last week, coming back full strength. 599 00:35:56,280 --> 00:36:00,600 Speaker 1: Take the Ravens. Call it a day. There's another one. 600 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,279 Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin, Steelers plus eight and a half at home. 601 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:08,480 Speaker 1: I always believe after a team, especially a functional team, 602 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:12,360 Speaker 1: is humiliated, take him the following week. This is not 603 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,440 Speaker 1: at Buffalo. It's not twenty five mile an hour wins. 604 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:19,360 Speaker 1: It's a Tampa team, frankly, that has sputtered with Todd 605 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:23,360 Speaker 1: Bulls offensively, Tampa wins the game. Greg Kosell told me 606 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,759 Speaker 1: today Kenny Pickett was actually okay, they just have no 607 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:30,880 Speaker 1: running game. I'm taking the eight and a half Sharper square. Honestly, 608 00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:36,000 Speaker 1: where's Colin? Somebody find column and put him back on 609 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:39,160 Speaker 1: the goddamn podcast. This wasn't even you know, every week 610 00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,440 Speaker 1: like pulled the curtain, pulled back the curtain a little bit, 611 00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,760 Speaker 1: a little bit. Your producers will send me the games 612 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,520 Speaker 1: that you're thinking about. This was not on the list, 613 00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,680 Speaker 1: and this was on my list to convince you of 614 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:52,359 Speaker 1: when at the end you will say to me, give 615 00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,759 Speaker 1: me a game that I'm not thinking about. It is 616 00:36:54,800 --> 00:37:00,680 Speaker 1: so gross. You gotta take the Steelers. Every trend points 617 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:02,719 Speaker 1: to the Steelers. You know, We have this database at 618 00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:08,279 Speaker 1: Action Network tracks millions of betting data points going back 619 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,680 Speaker 1: to two thousand and three. A team in the Steelers spot, 620 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:16,640 Speaker 1: which is coming off a blowoff, a blowout loss. They're 621 00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:20,360 Speaker 1: a big dog at home. They're getting less than thirty 622 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,840 Speaker 1: percent of the betting tickets is what the Steelers are getting. 623 00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:25,800 Speaker 1: They cover sixty one percent at the time in this spot. 624 00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,680 Speaker 1: I don't like to give precedents where the data set 625 00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,400 Speaker 1: and the sample size isn't very big. This is a 626 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,960 Speaker 1: few hundred games. We're not talking about like ten to 627 00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:37,920 Speaker 1: no on Thursday night football, right, So this is a 628 00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:41,040 Speaker 1: classic fade the public spot. Nobody wants to do it. 629 00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,319 Speaker 1: You just hold your nose. Professionals are doing just that. 630 00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:45,640 Speaker 1: The numbers bounced around from eight and a half down 631 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,239 Speaker 1: to eight, and then every time it gets to eight, 632 00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,800 Speaker 1: it goes back to eight and a half. Pros like 633 00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:54,200 Speaker 1: the Steelers. Well done, Colin. Those are those are my 634 00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:56,719 Speaker 1: two bets, my best boots. I would like to go 635 00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,719 Speaker 1: blazing two, but it just doesn't have the impact of 636 00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,919 Speaker 1: terrific too. But I've I've told you this for years. 637 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,080 Speaker 1: I've always got three bets I like, and then at 638 00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,040 Speaker 1: the end I you know I called it blazing five. 639 00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:09,960 Speaker 1: I was an idiot. I should have come out with 640 00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:14,160 Speaker 1: blazing two. I'd never miss a game. So here's a 641 00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:19,399 Speaker 1: game that's interesting. There are teams that sometimes have bad 642 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,319 Speaker 1: records that I really like. I think the Raiders are 643 00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,840 Speaker 1: a real interesting one and four team, four close losses 644 00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:28,239 Speaker 1: of decent clubs. Cincinnati's another one of those teams. I 645 00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,960 Speaker 1: think Cincinnati. I take the first game out because of 646 00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:37,600 Speaker 1: the surgery for Joe Burrow, no practice, no preseason. He 647 00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,600 Speaker 1: Stafford and Brady were awful in Week one, Okay, so 648 00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:42,800 Speaker 1: I start with them kind of the second half against 649 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:46,000 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. At that point, they've been competent. Now 650 00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:52,399 Speaker 1: they're not averaging much per play, but Jamis Winston has 651 00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:56,279 Speaker 1: regressed badly. Taysom Hill can be fun, but in his 652 00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,360 Speaker 1: career rarely has had big back to back rushing games. 653 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,960 Speaker 1: I don't think the Saints are very good. Cincinnati's in 654 00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:06,479 Speaker 1: a fairly desperate spot now because Baltimore beat them. I'd 655 00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 1: swallow them one and a half, and I would take 656 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:12,440 Speaker 1: the Bengal Sharper square. What happened to Color? He was 657 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:18,280 Speaker 1: so sharp and now he's he's so square? You've chosen 658 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,399 Speaker 1: one of the squarest plays on the board, and it's 659 00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,800 Speaker 1: it's It's a game that every wise guy I've spoken 660 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:31,000 Speaker 1: to loves, loves loves the Saints. You're still getting Bengal 661 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:35,440 Speaker 1: Super Bowl inflation. You're still getting Joe Burrow inflation, which 662 00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:38,319 Speaker 1: has only gotten bigger since he became a member of 663 00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:42,360 Speaker 1: the Volume family. This old line is a mess, like 664 00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,279 Speaker 1: truly a mess. And it's going up a against a 665 00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:49,120 Speaker 1: very good defensive line. And even though the Saints haven't 666 00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:52,480 Speaker 1: gotten a ton of pressure, they also don't need to 667 00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:56,960 Speaker 1: blitz and Joe Burrow's passer rating is below average when 668 00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:00,800 Speaker 1: he isn't blitzed. This is a very very good matchup 669 00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:03,880 Speaker 1: for the Saints. The line has moved in their direction. 670 00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,080 Speaker 1: It was at two, it went down to one and 671 00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:09,600 Speaker 1: a half. The wise guys have this game lined as 672 00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,440 Speaker 1: a pick, so they feel like they're getting a lot 673 00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,880 Speaker 1: of a lot of value here. Okay, I'm going to 674 00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:20,320 Speaker 1: take the Cowboys now plus six and a half at Philadelphia. 675 00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:24,000 Speaker 1: Two starters could be missing. The Eagles have yet to trail. 676 00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:28,920 Speaker 1: They don't score in the second half, Cooper Rush doesn't 677 00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,960 Speaker 1: throw interceptions. I don't know if they win, and I 678 00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,000 Speaker 1: generally like to take the side of the team that's 679 00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,319 Speaker 1: gonna win. This number was a little tastier early. It's 680 00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:41,160 Speaker 1: now six and a half. I have a completely disruptive 681 00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:45,080 Speaker 1: defensive line that in every game they've played, Dallas has 682 00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:49,040 Speaker 1: disrupted starting offensive lines. Now I got backups. I saw 683 00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:52,120 Speaker 1: what they did with the Rams backups. I'm going to 684 00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,040 Speaker 1: take the six and a half and take Dallas here 685 00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:59,520 Speaker 1: sharper square. Well, the sharp side is the Eagles at 686 00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:01,840 Speaker 1: four and a half, which is what I got, and 687 00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:04,880 Speaker 1: five and five and a half and even six. The 688 00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:06,640 Speaker 1: reason it got to six and a half because the 689 00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:10,640 Speaker 1: wise guys have been betting at NonStop. I would still 690 00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:12,520 Speaker 1: take the Eagles at six and a half. I have 691 00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:16,200 Speaker 1: not gotten any feedback from professional betters that they would 692 00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,120 Speaker 1: still take this at six and a half, so I 693 00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:23,480 Speaker 1: would imagine they might like the Cowboys here, But the 694 00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:26,200 Speaker 1: Cowboys are not one of those teams that professional betters 695 00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:31,360 Speaker 1: generally like, and they are getting a huge benefit of 696 00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,239 Speaker 1: doubt from the public in how this line opened, which 697 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,520 Speaker 1: is why the wise guys played it. Let's just take 698 00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,879 Speaker 1: Let's take the Cowboys only as an example right now, 699 00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:45,560 Speaker 1: and then forget about the Eagles for a second. The 700 00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:49,880 Speaker 1: Cowboys beat the Rams on a forced fumble return for 701 00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:53,840 Speaker 1: a touchdown, a blocked punt that was followed up by 702 00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:58,560 Speaker 1: a field goal, a fifty seven yard Tony Pollard touchdown run. 703 00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:02,560 Speaker 1: In that game, they had fewer first downs, fewer yards 704 00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:06,239 Speaker 1: per play, more penalties, They had a couple turnovers that 705 00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:09,799 Speaker 1: the couple fumbles they recovered themselves. They were outplayed by 706 00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:12,160 Speaker 1: the Rams, who just aren't very good right now and 707 00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:17,000 Speaker 1: had a terrible offensive line. The Cowboys also looked amazing 708 00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:20,239 Speaker 1: and beat up on the Washington Commander's terrible offensive line, 709 00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:24,560 Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals terrible offensive line. So we're all loving Cooper Rush, 710 00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:28,000 Speaker 1: We're loving this defense, which is outstanding, but they're doing 711 00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:31,600 Speaker 1: it against frauds. And so I like the Eagles because 712 00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:34,080 Speaker 1: they're finally playing a team that has probably the best 713 00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:38,279 Speaker 1: offensive line and an overall offense and a defense that 714 00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:40,520 Speaker 1: can stack up against whatever the Cowboys are going to bring. 715 00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:42,399 Speaker 1: All right, if you look at the history of the league, 716 00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,919 Speaker 1: when teams win by twenty five thirty points one week, 717 00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,720 Speaker 1: they don't cover the following week. Kansas City at home 718 00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:51,320 Speaker 1: getting two and a half points seems like the obvious play. 719 00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:54,120 Speaker 1: I also believe it's a close game and Kansas City 720 00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,880 Speaker 1: is better than Buffalo last three years in close games, 721 00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:01,560 Speaker 1: Chiefs plus the point sharper square. So this is really interesting, 722 00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:08,520 Speaker 1: complete and total divide on this game. I think if 723 00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:11,239 Speaker 1: you look at this number, you blindly look at this 724 00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:15,600 Speaker 1: number and you see a really good team that is 725 00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:19,279 Speaker 1: a short home underdog, you're automatically going to take it. 726 00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:23,080 Speaker 1: And then, as you know, we do the Favorites podcast 727 00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:28,279 Speaker 1: on the Volume podcast network, me and my bff Simon Hunter, 728 00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:31,240 Speaker 1: we got some calls from professional betters who were talking 729 00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:33,440 Speaker 1: about what we talked about on Tuesday. They like to 730 00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:36,359 Speaker 1: call over the forty eight hours so they can give 731 00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:38,000 Speaker 1: us feedback so we can talk about it on the 732 00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:43,120 Speaker 1: podcast on Thursday. They love the Bills. Loved the Bills, 733 00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:47,120 Speaker 1: and it's completely unconventional spot for professional betters to like 734 00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:50,200 Speaker 1: a team which is a good team playing against a 735 00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,640 Speaker 1: good team on the road, and that team on the 736 00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:55,359 Speaker 1: road is favored. But I will tell you there is 737 00:43:56,280 --> 00:44:01,200 Speaker 1: there is some bubbling up conversation out there that the 738 00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:05,160 Speaker 1: Chiefs aren't as good as their record shows. Right. They 739 00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:08,960 Speaker 1: could have easily lost a couple of these games that 740 00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:12,920 Speaker 1: they won the Chargers for one last week against the 741 00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:15,600 Speaker 1: Raiders for another. So the Bills are kind of a 742 00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:18,280 Speaker 1: juggernaut right now and are built specifically to beat the Chiefs. 743 00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:22,799 Speaker 1: So the sharp side, according to the sharp calls, is 744 00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:27,239 Speaker 1: the Bills, all right, Sharper square. The most beat up 745 00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:29,360 Speaker 1: team in the league is San Francisco. They're on the 746 00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:31,800 Speaker 1: road second straight week and Atlanta gets plus five and 747 00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:35,400 Speaker 1: a half. We know that San Francisco recks offenses, but 748 00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:40,240 Speaker 1: they have now five different starters out. Atlanta is thirty 749 00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:42,919 Speaker 1: seven big plays offensively this year, which is a weird 750 00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:46,160 Speaker 1: number for a very very average team. I would take 751 00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:48,239 Speaker 1: the five and a half. I think the Niners win, 752 00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:52,640 Speaker 1: but I'm just not laying that. On the road, time away, 753 00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:59,319 Speaker 1: all beat up, meaningless game over confident after wrecking Carolina, 754 00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:02,759 Speaker 1: I'll take the point. Sharper square. The Falcons are a 755 00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:05,160 Speaker 1: really interesting team, and they have been a wise guy 756 00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:07,720 Speaker 1: team all year long. They continue to be a wise 757 00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:12,120 Speaker 1: guy team. This is a sharp side. It's really fascinating 758 00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:15,600 Speaker 1: because if you look on Twitter, I bet if you 759 00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:20,160 Speaker 1: ask Greg ko selldis the people who are inside football 760 00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:23,640 Speaker 1: look at the Falcons offensive scheme and they love it. 761 00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:28,959 Speaker 1: They think Arthur Smith has built a really sound, fundamental 762 00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:34,440 Speaker 1: running game that can be interchangeable, right Cordiwell, Patterson has 763 00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:37,200 Speaker 1: been out of the lineup, and they still did really 764 00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:39,799 Speaker 1: well against the Bucks and almost won that game if 765 00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:42,359 Speaker 1: not for at least had the opportunity, if not for 766 00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,880 Speaker 1: that rough in the past recall, and so they have 767 00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:49,279 Speaker 1: been leaning on their running game, which is helping them 768 00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:51,640 Speaker 1: stay in the game. The biggest challenge for them in 769 00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:54,040 Speaker 1: this game. I'm not saying the wise guys are walking 770 00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,480 Speaker 1: away from the Falcons. The forty nine ers have a 771 00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:59,720 Speaker 1: dominant rush defense, and so this will be the first 772 00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:04,279 Speaker 1: true test of how sophisticated Arthur Smith's running game can 773 00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:07,800 Speaker 1: be and can it play against the best of the league. 774 00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:15,279 Speaker 1: And finally, I think it's pretty interesting the Seahawks are 775 00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:19,400 Speaker 1: now getting three all odds provided by FanDuel. Arizona is 776 00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:22,680 Speaker 1: a terrible early team, so Seattle will play with the lead. 777 00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:26,439 Speaker 1: It's one of the loudest stadiums. Arizona plays great late, 778 00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:30,319 Speaker 1: but there is no proof here though I don't buy 779 00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:34,960 Speaker 1: Geno Smith continuing this trend. Seattle has been in all 780 00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:38,480 Speaker 1: but one game that against the healthier Niner team, they 781 00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:41,680 Speaker 1: take leads. They're at home, they're getting a field goal, 782 00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,320 Speaker 1: and to be honest, I get a veteran coach against 783 00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:48,600 Speaker 1: the coach. Most wise, guys don't even like I think. 784 00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:52,880 Speaker 1: I take Seattle in the points here, Sharper square, totally sharp. 785 00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:55,960 Speaker 1: This line makes no sense. Colin, you read is one 786 00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:59,600 Speaker 1: hundred percent right. Seattle as the better coach, they have 787 00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:03,000 Speaker 1: the better offensive line. They have that's top rated passing 788 00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:07,240 Speaker 1: offense in the NFL. They have the most explosive passing 789 00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:11,240 Speaker 1: offense in the NFL. The Cards defense is the second 790 00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:17,600 Speaker 1: worst in defending explosive pass plays. This line opened it three, 791 00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:21,040 Speaker 1: it moved in Seattle's direction. You got a short home 792 00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:25,320 Speaker 1: doog in the division. And I know it sounds crazy 793 00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:27,920 Speaker 1: to say it right now. You have the better quarterback 794 00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:32,680 Speaker 1: in Gino Smith. So of course the wise guys are 795 00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:53,000 Speaker 1: on Seattle. The volume. Make sure to check out the 796 00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:56,560 Speaker 1: dram On Green Show.
