Speaker 1: Welcome to NFL Daily presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook, where
Speaker 1: we're fans of West Ham but we're going to Tottenham
Speaker 1: Hotspur Stadium soon.
Speaker 2: Thank you for yourself.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know why I'm a West Ham fan.
Speaker 3: Actually I do know why not.
Speaker 1: Koom's my friend over there who works for the CBC,
Speaker 1: who's got to be on NFL Daily because I'm going
Speaker 1: next week.
Speaker 2: Uh, you're with me.
Speaker 3: He gave me a jersey. He gave me a jersey.
Speaker 1: So you know when I was saying I needed a
Speaker 1: team and I went, I went with the Hammers.
Speaker 2: Well, LA's I come.
Speaker 4: I'm an Arsenal fan because years ago I went over
Speaker 4: there in one of the teams. I think the Falcons
Speaker 4: were practicing at Arsenal. They were very nice to me
Speaker 4: and gave me some gear, so I'm all about the Gunners.
Speaker 1: Now I should have mentioned we're here in the Chris
Speaker 1: Westleying podcast studio with Steve Weish and Patrick Claypon.
Speaker 3: But you know that already.
Speaker 1: It's the it's the preview show crew, it's the previous
Speaker 1: show career. And yes, I don't know if I mentioned
Speaker 1: officially on the show, but I am heading over you're
Speaker 1: covering the game for NFL Network and CBS.
Speaker 2: I'll be on the sidelines.
Speaker 3: That's pretty exciting.
Speaker 2: Stacy Dale's here for the Bears, yes, and.
Speaker 1: So I will be there for Bears Jags as well.
Speaker 1: Keep listening to this podcast because I think we might
Speaker 1: try to do a little bit of a meetup when
Speaker 1: I tape my preview show.
Speaker 3: Just in one week.
Speaker 1: We're gonna be taping it at the Bears Bar if
Speaker 1: everything goes goes according to plan. The Bears have an
Speaker 1: official team bar, and yeah we might. We might let
Speaker 1: the listeners know, but we've got to make sure it's lockdown.
Speaker 1: For now, we're focused on Vikings, Jets and all the
Speaker 1: other you know, Week five games.
Speaker 5: Yes, and it's so much fun to look forward to.
Speaker 5: We're going from smallest to the biggest spread. Yeah this week,
Speaker 5: but we start where everything will start on Sunday.
Speaker 2: It is the red hot Sam Donald, what here? It is?
Speaker 5: Minnesota Vikings a two and a half point favorite against
Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers and the Jets, who scored nine points. It
Speaker 5: was a miss Greg the leg field goal from fifty
Speaker 5: to give the Denver Broncos the win at MetLife. Concerns
Speaker 5: and consternation abound in New Jersey.
Speaker 1: Greg, absolutely, with this matchup coming up and you're coming
Speaker 1: off a game where the Broncos really tested your protection.
Speaker 1: It's not just the cadence that was the problem. It
Speaker 1: was where are these rushers coming from on that Denver
Speaker 1: Broncos defense. They lead the league in blitz right, Well,
Speaker 1: you know who's number two and sends even maybe more
Speaker 1: problems that will mess with your mind. It is the
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings Olo Fashion, who got his first start at
Speaker 1: right tackle, really struggled their interior line for the Jets,
Speaker 1: which had been playing well but had a step up
Speaker 1: in competition last week and suddenly wasn't playing well. They're
Speaker 1: young player Joe Tipman in the middle too. Now you
Speaker 1: got to deal with this Minnesota crew and get this
Speaker 1: offense going.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you got Jonathon Grenard, you know Alex Van Ginkle,
Speaker 4: these guys coming off the edges. What's interesting to me too,
Speaker 4: when this is a huge game for the Jets. It
Speaker 4: may not seem so, but this really kicks off a
Speaker 4: significant stretch because after this they play the Bills, they
Speaker 4: play the Steelers, then the Patriots and Texans. Right, if
Speaker 4: they don't get a win, right, here, it could get
Speaker 4: a little greasy, Patrick for the Jets. I like the
Speaker 4: Vikings in this game, not only with the points, not
Speaker 4: only because of like what you said. Defensively, they're just
Speaker 4: finding their groove. I mean, I just think offensively, with
Speaker 4: your boy, with your favorite player, Sam Darnold, Greg your
Speaker 4: favorite quarterback on Quarterback Island, they've got it working. I mean,
Speaker 4: Aaron Jones gives them options in the backfield. He's throwing
Speaker 4: the ball downfield.
Speaker 5: And they've got Justin Jefferson, right, They've got other players yet, Okay,
Speaker 5: Sauce Gardner and Justin Jefferson JJ's not going to care.
Speaker 2: He doesn't care.
Speaker 4: So I really do like this game, and like you,
Speaker 4: like I was saying, if the Jets don't win this,
Speaker 4: it's about to get real extra greasy coming back to
Speaker 4: New Jersey.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Justin Jefferson actually had one of the sauciest quotes of
Speaker 5: the season. It was referend it's in a Jet because
Speaker 5: people were asking that, you know, the forty nine ers
Speaker 5: are coming in and they they were tough for Garrett Wilson,
Speaker 5: and he said, with all due respect, I'm not Garrett Wilson,
Speaker 5: with all due respect, and so like I guess whenever
Speaker 5: somebody says all due respect, it is all right, Well,
Speaker 5: you're about to tell me how much respect is actually doing.
Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers the third highest rate in the NFL in
Speaker 5: quick passes under two and a half seconds.
Speaker 2: It's going to need to do that.
Speaker 5: It didn't necessarily help against the Denver Broncos, as you mentioned, Greg,
Speaker 5: and that leads me because we have to discussion every week.
Speaker 5: I know it's early in the show. We have our
Speaker 5: concerns about the Jets.
Speaker 3: Oh, he go to do it?
Speaker 5: We believe in the Minnesota Viking. Are we doing it?
Speaker 5: Should we make this our survivor pick for.
Speaker 3: Wow, it's crazy.
Speaker 1: I know Jets have been on fraud Watch, there have
Speaker 1: been for you, and I suddenly was convinced Rogers is
Speaker 1: playing well.
Speaker 3: I actually stand by the point Rogers playing well. I
Speaker 3: don't know you the issue last week.
Speaker 1: But when their defense and when their offense had play
Speaker 1: like a much tougher opposition, and then the step up
Speaker 1: in competition for their defense this week. Because if you
Speaker 1: think about who the Jets defense has played lately, Broncos, Coriatriots, Titans,
Speaker 1: those are like the three worst offenses in the league.
Speaker 1: Just about and now you have to make this step
Speaker 1: up Aaron Jones against this run defense. Aaron Jos like
Speaker 1: they are a run first offense, I would say, and
Speaker 1: if you look at what they're doing on early downs
Speaker 1: and he's been a top five running back and you
Speaker 1: kind of look how the Jets run game on the defense,
Speaker 1: I'd got washed out last week. A lot of Will
Speaker 1: McDonald just flying off the edge and they're runn right
Speaker 1: at him. Even with Javonte Williams, who had been struggling
Speaker 1: that I would pick the Vikings as a survivor pick.
Speaker 4: So I'm in, WHOA. I mean, wow, you got me,
Speaker 4: you got me. You know, here's a player for the Vikings.
Speaker 5: Here's a player for the Vikings too that I think
Speaker 5: we don't talk about the Gilly Lock Okay, Finn Gilmore.
Speaker 2: I mean this guy is he's playing why he's a
Speaker 2: perfect fit in this defense.
Speaker 4: I just think Aaron Rodgers is. Yeah, he's gonna continue
Speaker 4: playing well. But they're just not enough there. They don't score.
Speaker 3: Can we get can we get Garrett Wilson going there?
Speaker 1: There are some stats that have him in the top
Speaker 1: ten in terms of like separation, Like he's still Garrett Wilson.
Speaker 3: What am I missing?
Speaker 1: I look, I took him, I think like seventeenth overall
Speaker 1: in my fantasy drafts. That's definitely not going well. Neither's
Speaker 1: my DeVante Adams pick right now.
Speaker 2: But I hope he gets moved soon.
Speaker 1: Allen Lazard's leading this team in catches and Garrett Wilson,
Speaker 1: who is explosive, is under ten yards per catch, and
Speaker 1: can I read the Garrett Wilson quotes, I'm actually kind
Speaker 1: of surprised.
Speaker 3: These didn't get more attention.
Speaker 1: Instead, we're on Cadence Gate all week and Garrett Wilson,
Speaker 1: their best receiver, literally said, I don't think we do
Speaker 1: a lot of different stuff. To be honest, I watch
Speaker 1: football on Sundays and I see a lot of teams
Speaker 1: mix it up and stuff like that. I don't think
Speaker 1: we do that dot dot dot. I don't think we're
Speaker 1: trying to do a lot of different things. I'm actually
Speaker 1: surprised that I didn't get more more pop. That was,
Speaker 1: by the way, on the Bart and Han podcast.
Speaker 5: I think Bart Scott, well, it depends on where you
Speaker 5: your particular place of employment is. If it's in Flora Park,
Speaker 5: Apparently you can have a particular coach's name in the
Speaker 5: idea in your mouth. But if you're outside of the facility,
Speaker 5: that coach's name must be kept out of your mouth,
Speaker 5: kept out of your mouth.
Speaker 2: Well, so that's what it is. So fun game though.
Speaker 2: My name is Nathaniel Hackett. Thanks, it's nice to see
Speaker 2: you out here. Oh oh that was beautiful.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And when they put this on the NFL Network schedule,
Speaker 1: this looked like probably the best of the three, but
Speaker 1: you weren't sure about the Vikings.
Speaker 3: Now he got the best team in the NFL so far.
Speaker 5: And that's what we're gonna that's what we're gonna see.
Speaker 5: Wake up, rise, shine and watch them football. And before
Speaker 5: the game, you can catch Game Day Kickoff starting Sunday
Speaker 5: at seven am Eastern, and you can see Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 5: sit down with Kyle Brandt.
Speaker 2: It's good, it's not a FaceTime interview.
Speaker 5: They are literally face to fix and you can see
Speaker 5: that right before the game kicks off. Looking forward to
Speaker 5: that game, of course, always looking forward to NFL Network games.
Speaker 2: Let's go to.
Speaker 5: The Buffalo Bills at the Houston Texans. The Bills favored
Speaker 5: by one after their first loss of the season. What
Speaker 5: a stretch for them, they have to go to Baltimore
Speaker 5: and now at Houston where they over under his forty
Speaker 5: seven and a half Steve Maybe some deficiencies for the
Speaker 5: Bills that we weren't previously exposed to got highlighted on
Speaker 5: Sunday Night Line.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is one.
Speaker 4: Now we look at this like, these are two teams
Speaker 4: that we really like, and you look at their victories
Speaker 4: and they really haven't come against which you would consider
Speaker 4: like strength to schedule type of opponents. And then both
Speaker 4: times they play tough teams they get Both teams got dragged.
Speaker 4: So this is an intriguing game when you look at
Speaker 4: what the Bills have done well, right, some of the
Speaker 4: matchups with the tight ends and things like this is
Speaker 4: a secondary that can handle that, right. They've got the
Speaker 4: safeties with Jalen Peatree, They've got the corners that can
Speaker 4: kind of take out what the Bills like to do
Speaker 4: in the passing game. And they've got the speed an
Speaker 4: inside linebacker that can match up with James Cook in
Speaker 4: the passing game. I like the Texans and the points here.
Speaker 3: Look at you, right, I love the time.
Speaker 4: I like the Texans in the points just because they're
Speaker 4: at home. Now they're playing a bunch of one possession
Speaker 4: type of games, which is what the NFL we've seen
Speaker 4: earlier in the season. But they seem to be gaining
Speaker 4: a little bit more traction in their identity. I know defensively,
Speaker 4: they haven't hit it there yet.
Speaker 2: Larry M. Tunsel, I mean, he's just mister mister penalty man.
Speaker 3: Multiple penalties every game this year.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you know, this is one where he's
Speaker 4: going to have to tighten that up because those guys
Speaker 4: off the edge for the Bills, We'll get after him.
Speaker 1: I really like your point on how they defend the
Speaker 1: middle of the field. That's a great shot there because
Speaker 1: that's where the bill want to win. And yet I
Speaker 1: trust the Bills a.
Speaker 3: Little bit more. If I had to pick it, I'd
Speaker 3: take the Bills.
Speaker 1: But this is a toss up to me, and I
Speaker 1: do have to pick it because we do a pick
Speaker 1: show game debut, so I have to decide to check
Speaker 1: that out on an NFL Dowark. But like, they've been
Speaker 1: a different defense. They've been effective, they've been better on
Speaker 1: defense overall this year, but they've been different. They've been
Speaker 1: blitzing a lot and they're actually not getting a lot
Speaker 1: of one on one like pass rush wins from Hunter
Speaker 1: and will Anderson, which is a little surprising. I'm not
Speaker 1: saying they're not good players, but if you just add
Speaker 1: up their quarterback hits in sacks so far, it's it's
Speaker 1: quite low. I think it's like a combined eight or
Speaker 1: nine total between the two of them sacks QB hits.
Speaker 3: So that's that's surprising to me.
Speaker 1: And it's a really good Bills offensive line, so that's
Speaker 1: that's a really good matchup. The Bills are leading the
Speaker 1: NFL and pass rush or pass block win rate, so
Speaker 1: it's a really good offensive line. And you see Toron
Speaker 1: Johnson return to practice on Wednesday, you see Terrell Bernard
Speaker 1: Richards and you're like, oh, okay, this defense is gonna
Speaker 1: be back. But then you look who's missing from practice.
Speaker 1: I don't know how serious it's gonna be, but it's
Speaker 1: Dean Dawkins, their left tackle, so that's a huge one.
Speaker 1: And then Khalios Shakir, which I would think he's gonna
Speaker 1: play in this game because he finished the last one,
Speaker 1: but he's out of practice and he's been big. And
Speaker 1: one thing and I'll throw this to you, Patrick, is
Speaker 1: we hadn't talked about on this show, is that von
Speaker 1: Miller is suspended. Were violating the league's conduct policy related
Speaker 1: to a domestic assault allegation that was last December, and
Speaker 1: he had been, you know, a big part of their
Speaker 1: defensive line. So he is out for the next four
Speaker 1: games and a.
Speaker 5: Big part of that stretch where the Bills were dominating everybody.
Speaker 5: And now that the things are kind of in the light,
Speaker 5: you see deficiencies. You see Derrick Henry, which Derick Henry
Speaker 5: hit twenty one point six. I believe miles an hour
Speaker 5: on that run already, but there was no threat for
Speaker 5: him to be caught in that secondary.
Speaker 2: I know that guys are missing. We're watching mor Hamler
Speaker 2: can run and he's not caning a step on it.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's a that's a snowball going downhill.
Speaker 3: That's like just we'll not stopping that.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: But and then the concerns upfront for Buffalo where the Ravens,
Speaker 5: albeit they're a good team and they have those changes
Speaker 5: up front on the offensive line that they have to
Speaker 5: start the season with, but they were moving the Bills
Speaker 5: really really easily.
Speaker 2: In the run game.
Speaker 5: And now we've got a Texans team that could get
Speaker 5: Joe Mixon back. It's it's tough to view this. And
Speaker 5: I'm also because Nico Collins leading the entire league. He's
Speaker 5: the dude in receiving. He is a real dude. Who's
Speaker 5: who's in the Buffalo Bills secondary where you can say,
Speaker 5: all right, I feel confident that Nico Collins.
Speaker 1: I mean, I wouldn't say that maybe about any cornerback
Speaker 1: in the league. They have like a couple, but Christian
Speaker 1: Benford to me, is playing at a high level. He's
Speaker 1: at He's a top ten to fifteen cornerback.
Speaker 2: They're right.
Speaker 4: And Taron Johnson is one of the best slot corners
Speaker 4: in there now. Size wise, he's a much smaller slot corner,
Speaker 4: but he is a real, real good I mean, he's
Speaker 4: one of the top two or three slot corners. So
Speaker 4: if he comes back, that'd.
Speaker 1: Be maybe they were saving him for Stefan Diggs. You know,
Speaker 1: this is the revenge game. I mean, it's I don't
Speaker 1: know if it's a real revenge game here, but there
Speaker 1: we can make one for everybody. I think in this
Speaker 1: case that there was some sort of disconnect between Digs
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen. Yes, so there was so that I
Speaker 1: don't know if it's a revenge game, but it's it's spicy.
Speaker 3: I mean, we also got this.
Speaker 1: Deep into the conversation about this game with theydn't even
Speaker 1: mention like we got two of the best four or
Speaker 1: five quarterbacks here. So a lot of it comes down to,
Speaker 1: like how much support do these two quarterbacks get? Because
Speaker 1: I'm feeling confident that they're both gonna play well. It's
Speaker 1: a great Bills run the offense with James Cook and
Speaker 1: with Josh Allen against a very good run defense. If
Speaker 1: the Bills can run the ball, I feel pretty good
Speaker 1: about the Bills, and I think Stroud's playing very well.
Speaker 3: Even when he's pressured, he looks good.
Speaker 5: My concern with the Buffalo Bills offense was when the
Speaker 5: run game wasn't working on Sunday Night. It was really
Speaker 5: just balls down the sideline back shoulders to Kean Coleman
Speaker 5: and that's it.
Speaker 1: The weird thing was the run game kind of was working,
Speaker 1: they just didn't run the ball that much.
Speaker 3: But yes, they went away from it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the game script kind of got away from him
Speaker 5: and Yolo Josh came back for a brief little bit,
Speaker 5: but I mean they're down twenty one to three, saw
Speaker 5: Josh two yards out of bounds, throwing the ball fifty
Speaker 5: yards down the field.
Speaker 2: You know, it's fun stuff, but they can't they can't
Speaker 2: be on the run game.
Speaker 4: The Texas got the corners to handle their outside targets,
Speaker 4: which we aren't which we know really aren't that great.
Speaker 1: This is the location of what I think was the
Speaker 1: probably the nader of the Yolo Josh Earro, which.
Speaker 3: Was the playoff game against the Texans.
Speaker 1: That was actually the moment where everyone and I admit
Speaker 1: I couldn't have been more wrong about Josh Allen spike
Speaker 1: the football prematurely.
Speaker 3: It was just like it's never gonna happen Josh Allen.
Speaker 1: Guys like, look at this guy and now look at
Speaker 1: him one of the best players in the NFL for
Speaker 1: a year.
Speaker 5: Was that the weird like ten yards down the field
Speaker 5: behind the back.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was all sorts of things in that game.
Speaker 3: It was rough.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we love it.
Speaker 5: Keep trying to make plays. Always must see TV again,
Speaker 5: one of the best at least. However, many people you
Speaker 5: want to have in the top five, Josh Allen is
Speaker 5: going to be in there, or you're gonna have five
Speaker 5: in the top five.
Speaker 2: So we talked about great matchups.
Speaker 5: What about two teams in the AFC East that we
Speaker 5: are thrilled.
Speaker 2: To watch right about now.
Speaker 5: It is the Miami Dolphins at the New England Patriots,
Speaker 5: who are a one point favorite with a huge number.
Speaker 2: Of thirty and a half points. As it was.
Speaker 5: The start to the Tyler Huntley aero Steve was was exciting,
Speaker 5: but then they really Tyreek fumbled. It just all went
Speaker 5: down here. It was the Tennessee Titans.
Speaker 2: It was bad.
Speaker 4: I mean, Snoop Huntley had been there for like eight days.
Speaker 4: They you know, they just didn't have much of a playbook.
Speaker 4: I actually think Miami's gonna play a lot better in
Speaker 4: this game. And I like, and this was all you
Speaker 4: talk about quotes that got overlooked. I think Mike McDaniels
Speaker 4: after that game he basically in a very diplomatic ways
Speaker 4: that guys on his team were making business decisions. You know,
Speaker 4: they weren't helping out Snoop Huntley.
Speaker 1: I know, I know one of the most of it
Speaker 1: on his mind was Jalen Waddall just stopped running on
Speaker 1: him play over the middle of the field, where if
Speaker 1: you rewatched it, it was like, I don't even think he
Speaker 1: was gonna get hit. It was kind of it was weird.
Speaker 1: He had a big drop. Hill had a drop and
Speaker 1: and a fumble. They didn't charge him with the fumbel
Speaker 1: but that was pretty bad effort on the fumble and
Speaker 1: just a bad play.
Speaker 3: You're right, they need their best players to play.
Speaker 4: And I think he saw the Titans players kind of
Speaker 4: step up to help the backup quarterback when Mason Rudolph
Speaker 4: had to come in and play a right, those guys
Speaker 4: stepped up in rally. How come nobody is doing it
Speaker 4: for their backup quarterbacks? So he seemed to put guys
Speaker 4: on notice. I think you're gonna see the Dolphins offense
Speaker 4: work a little bit well, I think a lot better
Speaker 4: than what it's been. If you know, if they can
Speaker 4: get something going in that run game, that that pages
Speaker 4: defense we thought that was going to be really good
Speaker 4: early on, is showing some cracks. Now they got boat
Speaker 4: raced by the Niners last week, but they just they're
Speaker 4: not playing as well. It's an opportunity, so we'll see.
Speaker 1: I mean, forget cracks. This thing is busted open. We're
Speaker 1: sweeping it under the table. It's over.
Speaker 3: It's over.
Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, they don't have their best player,
Speaker 1: Christian Barmore. Unfortunately, when we were talking about their defense
Speaker 1: before the season two, we thought Matthew Judin would be
Speaker 1: involved in that. Christian Gonzalez is playing well, but then
Speaker 1: they also lost their guy who had the headset. You
Speaker 1: know that they're throwing the calls into Juwan Bentley, so
Speaker 1: that hurts communication. This week, Kyle Duggart is not going
Speaker 1: to play, so that's another guy with a big contract,
Speaker 1: and Jabrill Peppers, who's been one of their best players,
Speaker 1: is out of practice and is very questionable. So I
Speaker 1: think this was a team that was supposed to be
Speaker 1: more than the su of their parts on defense. But
Speaker 1: when you take away all the best parts and and
Speaker 1: you take away Bill Belichick, I think that that that hurts.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's a struggle, and it's it's a tough
Speaker 5: one to pick because the Patriots have their issues that
Speaker 5: the Dolphins got worse this week. Jalen Phillips is going
Speaker 5: to be out for the remainder of the year, coming
Speaker 5: back on a relatively short timeline pat for Achilles. Yeah,
Speaker 5: he's going to have to have reconstructive knee surgery, so
Speaker 5: he's really sad for the rest of the season. Hopefully
Speaker 5: he's able to bounce back. But in watching New England,
Speaker 5: they they hung close in Santa Clara. Was that was
Speaker 5: that the Patriots playing significantly better? Was that a down
Speaker 5: game with all the stars We're back for San Francisco.
Speaker 5: It's tough to really get a read on this Patriots team.
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't think so.
Speaker 1: I think these are the two of the three worst
Speaker 1: teams in the NFL.
Speaker 3: I think they're easy to read.
Speaker 1: They they can't protect Jacoby last game had one of
Speaker 1: his worst games as a pro artist.
Speaker 2: Is this a swing game?
Speaker 3: Is yes, he has another bad game.
Speaker 1: It'll be his last game because last week he was
Speaker 1: a bigger part of the problem than he had been
Speaker 1: in the past. And I don't think Drake may is
Speaker 1: gonna like save them. But you saw that their wide
Speaker 1: receivers were pouting. This is a big story in New England,
Speaker 1: not not nationally because no one cares, but like Jalen
Speaker 1: Polk and Pop Douglas were kind of pouting and having
Speaker 1: bad language and getting upset a little bit. Seemed like
Speaker 1: they weren't, you know hap they They've only attempted nineteen
Speaker 1: throws over ten yards.
Speaker 2: Crazy.
Speaker 1: Wow, it's crazy. That's crazy they I mean, and I
Speaker 1: get it. They're on their fourth left tackle. They just lost,
Speaker 1: just keep coming up with injuries. They lost their team captain,
Speaker 1: David Andrews probably for the rest of the season today too,
Speaker 1: and so that's their best offensive lineman. So it's two
Speaker 1: teams that are It's the Bad Vibes Bowl. It's it's
Speaker 1: really tough.
Speaker 4: I won if Andrews, if this might be it for him.
Speaker 4: He's played a long time.
Speaker 1: He's getting up there in years. Certainly was an important
Speaker 1: player for them. Tyreek Kill. Meanwhile, tweets out. Woke up
Speaker 1: to some trade news this morning. When a guy tweets
Speaker 1: that something like that out to you, like, so does
Speaker 1: he know what he's doing.
Speaker 3: He's got to know what he's doing. What does he means?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 3: They asked him about about where he wanted to be.
Speaker 1: They asked about Kansas City and Miami that the reporter
Speaker 1: is there, and he said, I want to be here.
Speaker 1: I want to be here in Miami. So that's an
Speaker 1: interesting thought. It's not the craziest idea if he got traded.
Speaker 1: He's barking there behind McDaniel. You mentioned, like, I showed
Speaker 1: me something like this is getting trouble times for not
Speaker 1: so much McDaniel, but the above him, Chris Career. I
Speaker 1: think long term, it's early in the season, but this
Speaker 1: is I think the two worst teams in the Lake.
Speaker 3: I don't think that's exaggeration, right.
Speaker 2: Isn't it? Isn't it interesting?
Speaker 4: Though? Like people's two is as system quarterback this and
Speaker 4: that if t comes back, are we shouldn't there saying
Speaker 4: this stuff about them.
Speaker 5: If he's able to play, we at least feel like
Speaker 5: there's there's some sort of functional.
Speaker 1: Correct correct although if it's funny, if this team was
Speaker 1: like the Eagles, that gets a little more attention, but
Speaker 1: it'd be a little more on the raidar. Here are
Speaker 1: some of their scores in their last seven games. I
Speaker 1: know we're going long on this game though, but I
Speaker 1: find this Dolphins team fascinating.
Speaker 3: Fifty six to nineteen.
Speaker 1: This is where the McDaniel era started to go wrong
Speaker 1: against the Ravens twenty six to seven.
Speaker 3: That was the playoff loss to the Chiefs. Not pretty.
Speaker 1: They also had a game where they only scored fourteen
Speaker 1: points with the afc EA stup for grabs against the Bills,
Speaker 1: and then this year thirty one to ten to have
Speaker 1: played more than half that game, twenty four to three,
Speaker 1: thirty one to twelve.
Speaker 3: Those are crazy scores.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's tough. Someone will win. It's time for the
Speaker 5: Game of the Week presented by Draft Game as the
Speaker 5: Baltimore Ravens are a two and a half point favorite
Speaker 5: at the Cincinnati Bengals, who did get their first win
Speaker 5: of the season going up on the road against the
Speaker 5: Carolina Panthers last week. The over under at fifty and
Speaker 5: a half. Kevin Harlan and Trent Green on the call.
Speaker 5: It should be a fun game, Greg, Yes, we've wanted
Speaker 5: to see a healthy Joe Burrow go up against the
Speaker 5: Ravens team. Now we finally get that opportunity.
Speaker 1: I think it'll be a fun game, especially for you Patrick,
Speaker 1: who you know leans a little Ravens. Sometimes analysis like
Speaker 1: our jobs are too easy, Like what reason do we
Speaker 1: have to think that the Bengals defense as a whole
Speaker 1: and especially on the ground is going to stop this
Speaker 1: mass unit of Lamar Jackson and Derek Henry Because I
Speaker 1: don't have any this This Ravens running attack is looking
Speaker 1: more cohesive in terms of their offensive line. We know
Speaker 1: that two runners are just electric and I have no
Speaker 1: faith in this Bengals defense. If we were looking for
Speaker 1: a spicy you know, I were a pick here, I
Speaker 1: might actually like the Ravens even better than the Vikings.
Speaker 1: I'm fine with the Vikings, We'll stick with that. But
Speaker 1: the Ravens. I feel good about the Ravens.
Speaker 4: I just it's weird because you know, you think about
Speaker 4: lou Anrumo, the defensive coordinat for the Bengals, and man,
Speaker 4: this guy is so good and he's such a great
Speaker 4: end game adjuster.
Speaker 2: They have not figured it out.
Speaker 4: But my thing more so is with the Ravens because
Speaker 4: they seem to have found their identity a little bit,
Speaker 4: and that's a dangerous thing.
Speaker 2: Like they were figuring out.
Speaker 4: Remember the first game against the Chiefs, Ronnie Stanley kept
Speaker 4: the illegal alignment type of thing like that guy in
Speaker 4: their heads.
Speaker 2: Right. Their offensive line wasn't working first couple of games.
Speaker 2: It was mashing.
Speaker 4: Last week against the Bills, they were very, very impressive.
Speaker 4: They set their identity. They are not going to get
Speaker 4: away from that against the Cincinnati Bengals, and if they.
Speaker 2: Do, the Bengals secondary is a little wobbly.
Speaker 4: I mean Cam Taylor Bricks, which is crazy because he
Speaker 4: has been a hell of a player.
Speaker 2: He's not playing well.
Speaker 4: We know the safeties have not been good since they
Speaker 4: got rid of Jesse Bates a couple of years ago.
Speaker 4: I just think this is one we're gonna see Mark
Speaker 4: Andrews finally really get involved in a wheelhouse Isaiah likely.
Speaker 4: I think we're gonna see some things happening in that
Speaker 4: game as well, that part of things, and we're also
Speaker 4: going to learn whether or not it's a sustainable thing.
Speaker 2: Because Roger rosen Garden had his first.
Speaker 5: Start, Yeah, last week, played well, played incredibly well for
Speaker 5: our first first NFL start. Derek Henry goes for eighty
Speaker 5: seven yards on the very first carry. Andrew Vorhees was out,
Speaker 5: so they had to move Patrick mccarrye. And that shuffling
Speaker 5: was like the greatest thing to ever happen, right, because
Speaker 5: they were having problems on the interior of the offensive
Speaker 5: line and everything seemed to work out in their favor.
Speaker 5: My concern is on the outside with Jamar Chase and
Speaker 5: T Higgins and an healthy and accurate Joe Burrow. This
Speaker 5: this team is not too far removed from getting devanted
Speaker 5: and yeah, as as well as been showed and the.
Speaker 3: Bengals keep up in a shootout.
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be the question for them all season,
Speaker 1: and I think against a lot of teams the answer
Speaker 1: is yes, yeah. Against this Ravens team, which surprisingly to me, Dvoa,
Speaker 1: which is just total efficiency, has him as the number
Speaker 1: one passing attack and the number one rushing attack, which
Speaker 1: is pretty wild because they've been that efficient when they
Speaker 1: have been throwing the ball. So I trust the Ravens
Speaker 1: defense just so much more that like, yeah, you can
Speaker 1: get into a shootout, but your defense just really is
Speaker 1: going to make life heart. It's gonna be good for
Speaker 1: t Higgins and Chase's fantasy numbers and Burrows fantasy numbers
Speaker 1: all year long. I did want to mention they had
Speaker 1: Chris Jenkins come in last week, their rookie, and he
Speaker 1: apparently take pretty well and the time BJ Hill is
Speaker 1: maybe getting healthy, so that would help their Bengals defense.
Speaker 1: But I noticed this Bengals offense, for what it's worth,
Speaker 1: has faced the second easiest collection of defenses so far
Speaker 1: in the entire NFL. So they've been racking up some
Speaker 1: big numbers. This is a tougher test for them.
Speaker 5: Yes it is. This is significantly, significantly tougher. I see
Speaker 5: the Ravens getting better, the Bengals getting better as well.
Speaker 5: It's it's tough to let go of the past and
Speaker 5: those in those matchups because a lot of those guys
Speaker 5: Lou had success with are still run.
Speaker 3: That's sure.
Speaker 1: A couple of years ago, they gave the Ravens everything
Speaker 1: they could handle. Every time they get other. Last last
Speaker 1: year game, it is a different Ravens team, but I
Speaker 1: mean Bengals team, but they did sweep the Bengals last year.
Speaker 1: This is a Kevin Harlan Trent Green game, so perie,
Speaker 1: this isn't a an early ten am start. Kevin Harlan
Speaker 1: Trent Green. Love hearing Kevin Harlan on a big game.
Speaker 1: Kind of love to talk about a little Sunday night football.
Speaker 1: After the break, We'll be back in a second.

Speaker 6: use the Code Daily. New customers can bet just five

Speaker 3: The crown is yours back on NFL Daily.
Speaker 1: Patricks with me on the Sunday night recap shows and
Speaker 1: the way we tape it, We finished taping, and then
Speaker 1: I race over to our film room here at NFL
Speaker 1: Network where Chris Rose usually is and maybe MJD and
Speaker 1: you get to watch the Sunday night football game. I
Speaker 1: want to be racing through this recap because I want
Speaker 1: to get to Cowboys Steelers.
Speaker 3: I'm into this matchup.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Sunday Night football in Pittsburgh where the Steelers are
Speaker 5: two and a half point fai against the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 5: It's you know, Mike Torico, Chris Collinsworth on the call,
Speaker 5: will be waiting all day for Sunday night and Steve.
Speaker 5: This is a offense that doesn't want to run the ball.
Speaker 5: Can't run the ball if they if they did want
Speaker 5: to against the number one rushing efficiency defense in all
Speaker 5: of football.
Speaker 4: Yes, and we know, we know how good that Pittsburgh
Speaker 4: defense is and the Cowboys. I'm surprised this number is
Speaker 4: only two and a half. You know, we were talking
Speaker 4: before the show, like, Okay, you know this is what
Speaker 4: it is. But then you think about this is Dallas.
Speaker 4: Dallas's strength really plays into Pittsburgh strength. Pittsburgh's got more
Speaker 4: strengths in this game against Dallas. Like you said, the
Speaker 4: Cowboys aren't going to be able to run the football
Speaker 4: against the Steelers. That's not going to happen. So now
Speaker 4: Dak's going to be one dimensional. Ceedee Lambs need to
Speaker 4: get all the attention. We know the archer is out right,
Speaker 4: the speechter why Brandon Cooks is out is not playing
Speaker 4: in this game?
Speaker 2: All right? What's what's Dallas's left hand offensive?
Speaker 1: How not to Wis's brain for coming up with the archer?
Speaker 3: I don't know if everyone knows about the archer.
Speaker 5: And also there was an error where he got to
Speaker 5: fire the arrow, but then he got he got a letter,
Speaker 5: and so he just was able to pull the arrow
Speaker 5: back but not actually let go of it.
Speaker 1: The friend of the show, Danny Hyphenz, made a great
Speaker 1: point that the Buccaneers literally shoot cannons and the Patriots
Speaker 1: shoot muskets out of guns when they score a touchdown.
Speaker 3: So I don't know the hypocritical.
Speaker 4: There Chargers Uganians too, But I mean I'm just like, so,
Speaker 4: what is Dallas's offensive left hand?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 4: What are they what are they going to go to
Speaker 4: because they're gonna lock up, Ceedee Lamb. I mean it's
Speaker 4: did a big Jake Ferguson great the Pittsburgh Steelers would
Speaker 4: love that, right. I just don't see Dallas putting up
Speaker 4: a lot of points. And Patrick, as you brought up,
Speaker 4: no d Law, no Mica. It's already a bad run defense.
Speaker 4: What do the Steelers do? I mean, seriously, justin fields
Speaker 4: might have like nine passing attempts in this game.
Speaker 1: They hope that they can get their running game a
Speaker 1: little more consistent. I love that I saw some more
Speaker 1: design runs and field scrambling more last week. He just
Speaker 1: hadn't been doing it the first three weeks, and that
Speaker 1: can get their offense juiced. Look, the Colts threw the
Speaker 1: ball pretty well against the Steelers. I mean they have
Speaker 1: an offensive line to do it is a Cowboys offensive line.
Speaker 1: Can they hold up Probably not as well as the
Speaker 1: Colts did, but they I think you can find holes
Speaker 1: in the Steelers secondary. Patrick Queen has been struggling for
Speaker 1: them in terms of his coverage ability. Some miscommunications there
Speaker 1: where the players were like yelling at him each other
Speaker 1: last week, and you think like, oh, well, everyone's just
Speaker 1: going to focus on CD like CD is gone. I
Speaker 1: mean CD, they should be able to figure out how
Speaker 1: to help get him open. But they are almost last
Speaker 1: in the league and in motion rate. There's some talk,
Speaker 1: you know, we're back to Green Bay where everyone's complaining
Speaker 1: about Mike McCarthy not being able to scheme players open,
Speaker 1: And if you listen to the beat writers there on there,
Speaker 1: it just feels like there's a little more player grumbling
Speaker 1: that may CD and Dak aren't exactly on the same
Speaker 1: page with their coach. They're on the same page with
Speaker 1: each other, but not necessarily with what's going on with
Speaker 1: the offense.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think sometimes people do a lot of
Speaker 5: reading into sideline frustration. Losing is not fun, right, Losing
Speaker 5: isn't fun.
Speaker 2: And CD is of course used to score a lot
Speaker 2: of points.
Speaker 5: You know, this Cowboys offense has traditionally been good, and
Speaker 5: a lot of that relies on Dak Prescott in his
Speaker 5: ability at the line of scrimmage. But it feels like
Speaker 5: the whole plane is built out of that right now,
Speaker 5: and every single first down the Dallas Cowboys get, it's
Speaker 5: like he's doing particle physics back here. You're right to
Speaker 5: not just diagnose the defense, but he's weaving out of
Speaker 5: three and four people and like getting back shoulders to
Speaker 5: Jalen Tolbert, and it's just like it's hard to imagine
Speaker 5: it being consistently sustainable on the road in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 3: I agree. I'm I'm torn on who to pick this game.
Speaker 1: I'm not ready to do so, just because I think
Speaker 1: the Steelers have their sense of flaws and their offense,
Speaker 1: like Justin Fields is playing like a top ten to
Speaker 1: fifteen quarterback right now, and yet the offense is still
Speaker 1: pretty pretty rough around the edges, So that's asking a
Speaker 1: lot out of him. I trust Dak Moore to make
Speaker 1: more with less, but to back up what you're saying
Speaker 1: about Dak, I love it when you have nice, nerdy
Speaker 1: statistical backs up for points that we just see with
Speaker 1: their eyes. So everything seems hard for this Cowboy offense.
Speaker 1: The Cowboys are first or last, depending on how you
Speaker 1: look at it in tight window throw rate, so just
Speaker 1: the least the smallest windows that Dak's thrown into.
Speaker 3: And this goes along with it.
Speaker 1: They are last in separation overall average separation for their
Speaker 1: wide receivers, so everything's condensed.
Speaker 4: That is interesting. I would have never thought that I would,
Speaker 4: but goes.
Speaker 1: Because you got one guy that can get open and
Speaker 1: that guy's getting doubled and then everyone else in the
Speaker 1: in the scheme and yeah.
Speaker 5: Even like Brandon Cooks, like the archer. I mean, this
Speaker 5: guy's a speed burner. He's supposed to be getting behind people.
Speaker 3: He was he so he's out for this game.
Speaker 1: As you mentioned, I think he'd been playing through something
Speaker 1: is to be because they said he stayed in New
Speaker 1: York to get a procedure and he had did not
Speaker 1: look right this year. The one thing I just want
Speaker 1: to say is I want more of Darnault Washington. Yes,
Speaker 1: oh my god, pounds coming at you, seeing him run
Speaker 1: down the sideline and his other touchdown catch, like you like,
Speaker 1: build the whole play out of fields in Darnel Washington
Speaker 1: and I'm entertained.
Speaker 5: Let's go. I just want more. This is a perfect
Speaker 5: game for him to get going. It's all Georgia Trio. Yeah,
Speaker 5: darn Washington and justin fields making it work. But I
Speaker 5: mean you mentioned Dak. Dak's always going to be high
Speaker 5: on the tight window throw percentage because he takes those
Speaker 5: chances and he makes those reads and he can make
Speaker 5: those throws. But just how much of it do you want?
Speaker 5: Like where are the layups in this offense? And maybe
Speaker 5: without Brandon Cooks, there's more Cavante Turpin. They get action
Speaker 5: in the screen game put Turpin out wide, but who knows, man,
Speaker 5: it's it's a tough watch. And then Jerry's telling Jane
Speaker 5: Slater this week that you know they're out on DeVante.
Speaker 5: There's there's no more money in Texas. Apparently they can't.
Speaker 2: What are they doing?
Speaker 1: Man on a cap space by the way, I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know there is. I'm just saying that you can
Speaker 1: look at it. They've got Actually they have among that
Speaker 1: most cap space in the league.
Speaker 4: Like why wouldn't you want to get You could say
Speaker 4: what you want about Devantae Adams. Man, that dude is
Speaker 4: a dog. He is he is a grinder. He practices hard.
Speaker 4: That's the type of dutey. You need to set an
Speaker 4: example for everybody on that roster.
Speaker 5: And I think DeVante could move a few jerseys. It
Speaker 5: makes sense. It makes sense to me. Real purpose, but
Speaker 5: a mission.
Speaker 2: We'll see.
Speaker 5: Speaking of DeVante Adams, the Las Vegas Raiders on the
Speaker 5: road at the Denver Broncos, the road Warrior. Denver Broncos
Speaker 5: went on the road to Tampa. Gott to win on
Speaker 5: the road to MetLife, got to win Now, the Broncos
Speaker 5: and bow Knicks are two and a half point favorites
Speaker 5: against Gardner, Minshew and the rest of the crew, with
Speaker 5: the total sitting at thirty six.
Speaker 2: Greg, did bow Nicks show you enough at Met Life?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: What do you mean?
Speaker 1: I mean he showed me enough to believe that you
Speaker 1: can't possibly keep winning like this. It's a couple times now,
Speaker 1: Like his bad throws are bad. I think he struggled
Speaker 1: with the with the rain handsize alert oh a little
Speaker 1: bit because those strows were coming out crazy, and then
Speaker 1: the rain kind of died off in the third quarter
Speaker 1: or especially the fourth, and he actually did look better,
Speaker 1: So I think I think that was at least part
Speaker 1: of it. The Denver run game was a little better,
Speaker 1: but really they're gonna have to win with defense and
Speaker 1: a great defense. Like when I when I think about
Speaker 1: picking this game, I'm like, what do I really trust
Speaker 1: with either of these teams right now? It's the way
Speaker 1: that Vance Joseph is calling that defense amazing. Zach Allen
Speaker 1: twenty three pressures. I know it's not a perfect step
Speaker 1: but pass rush win rate the top two defensive tackles
Speaker 1: in the NFL are Zach Allen, which surprising, but not
Speaker 1: so much when you watch these games. He's been great
Speaker 1: and Malcolm Roach of the Broncos. Those were the top two.
Speaker 1: So that's a good start if you can get some
Speaker 1: heat on Gardner Minshew.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, look, this is one it's gonna be
Speaker 4: mucked up. It's gonna be a lot of run game.
Speaker 4: Vegas is gonna have to run because DeVante Adams is
Speaker 4: not playing. I think he's played his last game in
Speaker 4: the Silver and Black.
Speaker 2: Not really a lot of.
Speaker 1: Things's practice with a hamstring injury. Max Crosby also out
Speaker 1: of practice.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think Max. I think Max will return this week.
Speaker 4: I mean, he missed last game. He's trying to get right.
Speaker 4: The dude hates missing ball games. But I mean, what
Speaker 4: else do you have offensively? I mean you got the
Speaker 4: tight end Brock Bauers, and he's a real one. He's fantastic. Right,
Speaker 4: So now we're going to a great vance. Joseph will
Speaker 4: go ahead and take care of that. We're not gonna
Speaker 4: let him beat us. I just don't know if Vegas
Speaker 4: can score. I think that thirty six number is perfect
Speaker 4: for the over and under. This is not going to
Speaker 4: be a high flying ball game right here, and just
Speaker 4: the way, just just a consistency. I mean, Vegas is defense.
Speaker 4: Patrick Graham's got some good stuff working as well.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 4: So you know, I just think this is one where
Speaker 4: if I have to trust a defense, it's the way
Speaker 4: the Broncos have played the past two or three weeks
Speaker 4: has been as impressive as any team in the NFL.
Speaker 5: The number one passing efficiency defense in all of football
Speaker 5: six and rushing defense, number six in pressure rate going
Speaker 5: up against the Raiders team that's in the twenties or
Speaker 5: thirties in all of those stats, and I'm looking over
Speaker 5: how impossible would it be to average over four and
Speaker 5: a half yards per carry, which Javonte Williams did in
Speaker 5: a football game where your quarterback had negative seven passing
Speaker 5: yards in the first lame.
Speaker 2: That's crazy.
Speaker 5: I believe in the Broncos run game simply based on
Speaker 5: the fact that they're able to do anything with bo
Speaker 5: Nicks attempting so many of his passes short to ten
Speaker 5: yards around the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 1: I think so many of those completions last week were
Speaker 1: behind the line of scrimmage. That's the thing that's crazy
Speaker 1: is he had so few and the completions that he
Speaker 1: had were behind the line of scrimmage. I was going
Speaker 1: to say it should be better weather, but like, if
Speaker 1: he's not a good, bad weather quarterback, Denver is not
Speaker 1: the city for you.
Speaker 5: I think things will improve with time him. Right, you
Speaker 5: have to play. He did play at Oregon. I mean
Speaker 5: he's played as a.
Speaker 3: Bad way Okay, okay, you know getting them over kid.
Speaker 3: That was a tough watch that I went back.
Speaker 4: I was sloppy conditions. I mean, that's not going to
Speaker 4: happen every week.
Speaker 1: By the way, assuming that DeVante Adams doesn't ever play
Speaker 1: for the Raiders again, which feels very safe at this point. Yes,
Speaker 1: they don't have enough weapons. And he played with six
Speaker 1: different starting quarterbacks in the time that he was there.
Speaker 3: That is crazy. He was barely there.
Speaker 4: That's quite Larry Fitzgerald like who played with like forty
Speaker 4: six in his years with Arizona.
Speaker 5: I have seen some revisiness stuff where it's like, oh,
Speaker 5: Davante should have stayed in Green Bay. They had they
Speaker 5: had years to make him that offer. Yes, like the
Speaker 5: Rogers contract came in between that. Then they come in
Speaker 5: after the factors like, oh yeah, he had the same
Speaker 5: offer on the table that the Raiders gave him. Win,
Speaker 5: Like when did that offer come in. Look like, let's
Speaker 5: be honest, he wanted out. He wanted an opportunity and
Speaker 5: he took it. The Raiders just kind of went self.
Speaker 5: And you say they didn't want to pay their quarterback either, right.
Speaker 1: The latest in DeVante trade rumors reporting ESPN had that
Speaker 1: the Jets and the Saints were atop his wishless So, man,
Speaker 1: he loves that Derek Carr.
Speaker 4: He loves Derek and look the Saints. I think the
Speaker 4: Saints would love to have him. He's he's seen what
Speaker 4: life is like without either of those two guys. Yes,
Speaker 4: and he's like, you know what, I want to go.
Speaker 3: He is a great fit on the Saints.
Speaker 4: Here's the thing with both, it's a great fit with
Speaker 4: both of those teams, though, I mean they could both
Speaker 4: be blown up after the season. I mean, would he
Speaker 4: really want to go to either of those teams because
Speaker 4: of the Jets struggle they're blowing that thing up.
Speaker 1: Well, he might become a free agent. Who knows he's
Speaker 1: doing thirty five million next year?
Speaker 2: Would you be non guaranteed?
Speaker 3: Life is short?
Speaker 1: I think if you're Devanta Adams, even if you're not
Speaker 1: getting any more money from a new contract this year,
Speaker 1: I think he's like, well, I don't want to spend
Speaker 1: the next twelve weeks with the Raiders. I want to
Speaker 1: go to a team that can be in the mix.
Speaker 1: He might not even require more money right off the bat.
Speaker 5: This time around him, I'd be pushing to go to
Speaker 5: a place like Buffalo. Yeah, if he wanted to check
Speaker 5: it down, he would, you know. But this is this
Speaker 5: is about This is about being somewhere where the remainder
Speaker 5: of his career can have some sort of significance to somebody.
Speaker 2: And he does not see that. And I understand why
Speaker 2: he does not see that.
Speaker 4: As I said yesterday, Gardner Minshew is not going to
Speaker 4: be on quarterback Island Patrick.
Speaker 5: But hey, Gardner Minshew did get some wins last year
Speaker 5: for the Indianapolis Colts where Greg was asking how does
Speaker 5: he keep getting away with this? And now maybe they
Speaker 5: have Joe Flacco? Is it Anthony Richardson? Either way, they
Speaker 5: are in Douvall taking on the Jacksonville Jaguars, who are
Speaker 5: a three point favorite, despite the fact that they have
Speaker 5: had the twenty twenty four Jacksonville Jaguars season where there's
Speaker 5: players only meetings discussions, there's the players aren't calling the
Speaker 5: plays and the coaches can't play.
Speaker 2: Greg vibes down horrendously.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson asked on Wednesday, have you lost the locker room?
Speaker 1: And his answer is no, I have not lost the
Speaker 1: locker room. I mean what kind of question. I mean,
Speaker 1: I unders then why you asked that. But it's a
Speaker 1: tough one to answer, Like, there's no way to answer that.
Speaker 5: What does it mean, by the way, Yeah, I've lost.
Speaker 1: Well, you meant you mentioned, you know, Minshew having such
Speaker 1: an impact on the cults. It wasn't that that long
Speaker 1: ago that we were talking about how ridiculous it was
Speaker 1: they were letting Minshew get all the first team reps
Speaker 1: over Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean at this point, Trevor Lawrence isn't playing any
Speaker 1: better than Gardner Minshew this year.
Speaker 3: I hate it.
Speaker 2: It is he is.
Speaker 1: I'm shocked by it. But this the ball is not
Speaker 1: going where he's aiming it to go.
Speaker 4: He looks like, you know, he's just a non confident
Speaker 4: player right now, and they have got to look, they've
Speaker 4: got to get this win otherwise they're winless going over
Speaker 4: to London to play the Bears, like they have got
Speaker 4: to get this win. The flame is red hot under
Speaker 4: Doug Peters. And the only thing is there's really nobody
Speaker 4: on his staff who can take over maybe Mike McCoy
Speaker 4: if they were to get rid of him. So I
Speaker 4: don't think his job security is is it quite as
Speaker 4: in immediate danger?
Speaker 2: Some people got to win a game.
Speaker 1: If you go to London and lose to the Bears
Speaker 1: and the Patriots and lose this game game.
Speaker 2: Then yeah, then then then things change.
Speaker 4: I mean shots, Jack khn is not trying to lose
Speaker 4: games over his homeway from home in England. But you
Speaker 4: know the way the Colts their their quarterback situation, I
Speaker 4: think they're I think they're fine. This is a game
Speaker 4: where I think they're gonna be able to move the ball.
Speaker 4: John the Taylor's nicked up right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's out of practice Wednesday. Yeah, he has a
Speaker 1: high ankle sprain.
Speaker 4: So we don't know if they're gonna be able to
Speaker 4: run the ball. But teams are throwing the ball against
Speaker 4: the Jags. Man, They're finding matchups all over the place.
Speaker 5: I have a case for positivity in Jacksonville. This offense
Speaker 5: is in the past game has mainly been funneled these
Speaker 5: past couple of years between Evan Ingram and Christian Kirk.
Speaker 5: Christian Kirk coming back from that offseason surgery slow start.
Speaker 5: Evan Ingram only played one game this season. Now we've
Speaker 5: got both of them potentially being on the field and
Speaker 5: healthy for the first time.
Speaker 4: Ingram changes things. Ingram changes things. I mean that is
Speaker 4: that is Trevor's guy.
Speaker 5: Because that's why, like Trevor, Trevor's downfield passing rate one
Speaker 5: of the highest in the league. Right now, they're taking
Speaker 5: nothing but shot and I think a lot of that
Speaker 5: is because Evan Ingram is not in those particular spots
Speaker 5: where Trevor trusted him to make play.
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis has not worked out so far for them,
Speaker 1: just hasn't had the production. And Brian Thomas looks like
Speaker 1: a great drive. He's a real one when the balls
Speaker 1: near him. He's made some really nice grabs. But yet
Speaker 1: there they've been struggling in the red zone. Really any
Speaker 1: stat you want to find an offense, it's not good
Speaker 1: for the Jaguars. Then again, they're going again to Colts defense,
Speaker 1: who lost Taekwon Lewis. He's going to injured reserve, not
Speaker 1: a big name, but he is the third out of
Speaker 1: four starters off their defensive line that's out and on
Speaker 1: on ir and so that's that's pretty major. You still
Speaker 1: have Grover Stewart, you have Latu Lasu, but that that's big.
Speaker 1: Flaco was taking some reps in practice, but Richardson is limited.
Speaker 1: He's day to day. We're not sure if Richardson's going
Speaker 1: to play. It's disappointing because for as much credit as
Speaker 1: Flaka got Man, that run game was absolutely cooking. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: including early against the Steelers, and Richardson was a huge
Speaker 1: part of that. Their first drive and a half, he
Speaker 1: gets a touchdown first drive, gets him into field goal
Speaker 1: range before the injury, uh the second drive, and so
Speaker 1: I wanted to see that come together. And even if
Speaker 1: he's out there, he's banged up and Taylor's not there,
Speaker 1: that's that's their whole offensive identity. They could they could
Speaker 1: fight a way to get a win with Flacco, but
Speaker 1: it's just you want to be building on what your
Speaker 1: team is actually.
Speaker 2: And that offensive line is playing well. So I mean
Speaker 2: that's something I think.
Speaker 1: Hitman and Downs might not mind Flacco being in there
Speaker 1: just because there's like more volume.
Speaker 5: But as as you mentioned, Anthony Richardson had a couple
Speaker 5: of great balls Michael Pittman junior or early in that
Speaker 5: game before he left and he was getting involved downs.
Speaker 5: Looks good and healthy. There's cases for positivity for both
Speaker 5: of these things. You may feel really different for wherever
Speaker 5: it comes up on the on the wrong side of
Speaker 5: this one.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's a that's a great point.
Speaker 1: But the Colts could have a fantastic manage the season situation.
Speaker 1: They get out of this game three and after the
Speaker 1: start they've had, they will feel great.
Speaker 4: The Jags lose to your point, by having Ingram one
Speaker 4: hundred fourteen catches last year. I mean, that's how much
Speaker 4: as a tight end he means to this team.
Speaker 2: Like he is.
Speaker 5: It is a real need and right now things are
Speaker 5: real tough for Trevor and the Jags. Let's get back
Speaker 5: to Sofi Stadium. It's time for the Sneaky Good Game
Speaker 5: of the Week presented by DraftKings as the Green Bay
Speaker 5: Packers on the road a three point favorite against Matthew
Speaker 5: Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams. Both of these teams
Speaker 5: with late heartbreakers last week, and Greg, we keep seeing
Speaker 5: Matthew Stafford kind of have the team on his back,
Speaker 5: but it's starting to feel like that burden is a
Speaker 5: little bit too much of a load to care.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a lot, and this game is a big
Speaker 1: one for them. It's before their bye week. They do
Speaker 1: not want to be one and four heading into their buy.
Speaker 1: Then again, I thought, like, didn't they have a game
Speaker 1: like this last year? They had a game again, I
Speaker 1: think it was backup starting against the Packers, and they
Speaker 1: lost it and they going into their bike. They were
Speaker 1: three and six at that point and they managed to
Speaker 1: come all the way back.
Speaker 3: And you know, have a chance to and they made
Speaker 3: the playoffs.
Speaker 5: And Bretts and Brett Rippen with the Green Bay it
Speaker 5: started as the Rams cut him like immediately after.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 1: I think I think there's a lot to worry about
Speaker 1: with the Rams team because the defense it's gone from
Speaker 1: good enough certainly last year to not good enough this year.
Speaker 1: And they're getting a lot of pressure. And this is
Speaker 1: what happens when you lose you know, the greatest defensive
Speaker 1: player of all time, and your and your coach who
Speaker 1: is a good one, and Raheem Morris, You're they're weirdly
Speaker 1: first in pressure rate, which makes me question the pressure
Speaker 1: rates stat And yet because there's still one of the
Speaker 1: worst defenses. They aren't finishing plays. They only have seven sacks,
Speaker 1: and it's not affecting other quarterbacks enough. It's a lot
Speaker 1: of Jared Verse and Fisk kind of flying by the quarterback,
Speaker 1: and so they just need to figure that out.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's more like a proximity alert thing, and we
Speaker 5: got maybe we need a better way to contextualize what.
Speaker 4: I love the proximity alert. That is beautiful, Matt coin
Speaker 4: that much. It's as well the horseshoes and hand grenades
Speaker 4: that It's right.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of guys flying by and then the
Speaker 1: quarterback steps up in the pocket and makes a play
Speaker 1: on them, I think, is what's happening.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, this, I mean, how are the Packers only
Speaker 4: a three point favorite? Because there will be more Packer
Speaker 4: fans in that stadium. And again this is not saying
Speaker 4: anything about Rams fans. Packers fans show up everywhere. So
Speaker 4: it's gonna be home game on the West Coast for
Speaker 4: Green Bay. I just you know, we've talked about Stafford
Speaker 4: places his heart out. He just doesn't have guys who
Speaker 4: can move with the ball. Jordan Love gonna get back.
Speaker 4: He's gonna feel a little bit better. Offensively. I think
Speaker 4: this is one where Green Bay it's going to ring
Speaker 4: up a ton of points and put it on the Rams.
Speaker 1: I tend to agree their pass rush hasn't been great.
Speaker 1: I know there's some Packers fans out there that really
Speaker 1: want a little more out of Kenny Clark and Rashan Gary.
Speaker 1: They're big ticket players who've been pretty quiet game change,
Speaker 1: and I just want a normal game out of Jordan Love.
Speaker 1: He's had a weird season. The opener was extremely weird
Speaker 1: on that field. He was a little all over the place.
Speaker 1: Last week, He's coming back from an injury. Didn't look
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. That was a really up and down game,
Speaker 1: and so he just needs to kind of settle in
Speaker 1: and he can feel better if he doesn't pick up
Speaker 1: a third down that he's got Daniel Wheelan on his side.
Speaker 1: There is Irish punter is a problem. I mean this,
Speaker 1: This guy had a seventy four yard punt last week.
Speaker 3: He created a touchdown by.
Speaker 1: Having a punt so good it went over you know,
Speaker 1: Minnesota souldiers there and created a short field. This guy,
Speaker 1: the Irish punter, he's the man.
Speaker 4: This guy the Irish punt, that's my guy. By the
Speaker 4: way I'm looking at last ten Packers are nine and one.
Speaker 4: Wow with the Rams as well, I knew there was
Speaker 4: something whre McVeigh had problems.
Speaker 2: Against the floor.
Speaker 5: The guy that I'm not at all concerned about, who
Speaker 5: I think has a huge day is Jaden Reid going
Speaker 5: up against this RAMS man.
Speaker 2: How good is he?
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's explosive in people because for years right everybody
Speaker 5: was looking for Deebo Samuel and he's not Deebo Samuel
Speaker 5: with the ball in his hands like prom Debo, but
Speaker 5: just purely as a receiver.
Speaker 2: I think he's better than peak Debo, what not.
Speaker 3: Noting an he's faster.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's not going to be as physical, No
Speaker 1: one's as physical, and he's a smaller player. But I
Speaker 1: agree with you he is a weapon in a similar
Speaker 1: way to Deebo.
Speaker 3: That's a good call.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is gonna be This is gonna be in
Speaker 2: a Josh Jacobs.
Speaker 4: I mean, I think this is one where just Green
Speaker 4: Bay's offense, this is one when you look at the
Speaker 4: Rams defense, is there something where, like you say, can
Speaker 4: they can they get it together? Or is it one
Speaker 4: where the dam just breaks on this defense? Because you
Speaker 4: talked about a version fisk are fantastic and Byron Young
Speaker 4: gives him a little something. But where else are where
Speaker 4: else are they making enough plays, especially when you're facing
Speaker 4: an offense like this with a quarterback who wants to
Speaker 4: get his mojo going and.
Speaker 1: A great play caller, too great play caller. I the
Speaker 1: secondary is. I don't know what they were expecting exactly.
Speaker 1: It was kind of patched together, but I think they
Speaker 1: expected better play.
Speaker 3: Maybe out of the safety position. They've been okay, but.
Speaker 2: Quentin Lake's a pretty good player. Yeah, it was.
Speaker 5: It was very jarring to see DeAndre Swift and a
Speaker 5: Bears offensive line that could not run the ball.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, just gosh them good. I yeah, it's tough.
Speaker 2: It's tough right now and lost.
Speaker 3: Don't give up.
Speaker 1: Lis my daughter of course a big Rams fan. This
Speaker 1: is a big game for them, I really mean it.
Speaker 1: Before the buye, getting to two and three would be
Speaker 1: huge for them. Packers would be in a world of
Speaker 1: four two if they lost this game. After losing to
Speaker 1: the Vikings, We'll be back in just a second.

Speaker 1: A couple surprising just notes for you on our next game,
Speaker 1: Patrick Brown Brown's Commanders. First of all, Greg Olsen doing
Speaker 1: a Browns commander's game in week five shows you that
Speaker 1: Commanders are becoming one of America's teams right.
Speaker 2: Now, to watch them, watch them.
Speaker 1: Second, a man named Jason Bennetti is the play by
Speaker 1: play guy, not familiar with his work, and they slade
Speaker 1: him right into a big chair with Greg.
Speaker 3: Olsen while while Joe Davis is doing baseball.
Speaker 5: That shows me that I believe in Jason. Just that situation,
Speaker 5: I believe Jason Bennetti is going to call it all.
Speaker 1: I cover these announcers, Steve like some some people cover teams,
Speaker 1: So I truly might watch this game specifically to do
Speaker 1: a little Benetti scouting. That's a big spot for them
Speaker 1: to put him in. That's a lot of confidence they have.
Speaker 2: That'd be great.
Speaker 5: I'll tell you what, You're not going to tune into
Speaker 5: this game for you to see the high flying Deshaun
Speaker 5: Watson led Cleveland Browns offense that lost a nasty game
Speaker 5: on the road to Gardner Minshew last week. At these
Speaker 5: Commanders who are a three point favorite, which maybe maybe
Speaker 5: should be a bit more, and the hottest quarterback right
Speaker 5: now that's not named Jared Golf in the entire en
Speaker 5: Jaden Daniels.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's really interesting that they're only favored by three.
Speaker 1: It really shows that they're still waiting information that came
Speaker 1: before this year in what they expect this Browns team
Speaker 1: to be, because that's not reflective of the team that
Speaker 1: they are, which is one of the worst teams in
Speaker 1: the NFL. I mentioned DVA like total efficiency they have.
Speaker 1: The Browns actually dead last. They had Miami thirty one.
Speaker 1: I think the Patriots were thirty and that's because their
Speaker 1: offense is dead last. Now, Watson played better last week,
Speaker 1: but the offense was still really struggling, and this should.
Speaker 3: Be a get right type of matchup.
Speaker 1: But if you're a Commander's optimist, maybe you watched last
Speaker 1: week's game and you thought, okay, is dan Quinn's defensive
Speaker 1: philosophies starting to take hold?
Speaker 5: Here?
Speaker 1: Frankie Luvu flying all over the place, Bobby Wagner, the
Speaker 1: cornerback's playing better. It was just one game, but after
Speaker 1: three really tough performances, they look it's like a decent
Speaker 1: defense and all they need to be is decent, and
Speaker 1: I think this team is a contender. They just need
Speaker 1: to be the twenty first best defense in the league
Speaker 1: and this team has a chance to make the playoffs.
Speaker 2: It's funny.
Speaker 4: I was actually talking to Dan Quinn about something Tuesday night,
Speaker 4: the head coach for the Commanders, and he was like,
Speaker 4: Cleveland gives you a million different things to occupy preparing
Speaker 4: on both sides to the ball court. Defensively with Jim Schwartz,
Speaker 4: they do have some players that match up well with
Speaker 4: with what Washington likes to do offensively. And they have Joka,
Speaker 4: one of my favorite players who can spy right. They
Speaker 4: use him a lot as an INSI linebacker who can
Speaker 4: spy Jayden Daniels right. So They've got some pieces that
Speaker 4: are nice little counter chips, and I think people, when
Speaker 4: you look at the three points spread, are still waiting
Speaker 4: for Washington to see if they can handle being a
Speaker 4: successful football team. To go back to what Aaron Rodgers says,
Speaker 4: how do we handle success?
Speaker 3: Handle it well? Last week?
Speaker 1: That was my whole theory of like they're on the
Speaker 1: road a second time, short week against some you know,
Speaker 1: decent enough team and they put a forty burger on.
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, Jaden was was was amazing. You know
Speaker 4: in Cleveland, there's their offensive line issues.
Speaker 2: Sean.
Speaker 4: He just does not look right in any way, shape
Speaker 4: or form running the offense. I mean not even like
Speaker 4: throwing the ball or or getting things going in that realm.
Speaker 2: It just does not look functional.
Speaker 4: But again, Washington, like like I said, is this is
Speaker 4: a proved game for the defense with Dan Quinn and
Speaker 4: Joe Witt on that side of the ball.
Speaker 2: Their corners are.
Speaker 4: Still something they're gonna that's gonna be an all season long.
Speaker 4: Working just a personnel is not that great, But they
Speaker 4: do love some things they saw with their safeties up
Speaker 4: the spine as the new term goes of the defense.
Speaker 4: We know how good those tackles are. You mentioned the
Speaker 4: inside linebackers. They like the way they functioned and how
Speaker 4: other guys built off of that.
Speaker 1: Little Jerry Newton, the second round pick I was into
Speaker 1: and during draft season getting some more pop.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So so I think they feel better about their defense,
Speaker 4: But I think offensively they know it's gonna it's not
Speaker 4: gonna be layups because Jim Schwartz has got some pieces
Speaker 4: to counter some of their strengths.
Speaker 5: Well, the weakness of the team is, we know it's
Speaker 5: zeroed in at the quarterback right now, who if not
Speaker 5: for bon Nicks, would have the worst EPA on dropbacks
Speaker 5: right now, he's second worst, negative fifty one and a half. Right,
Speaker 5: And so like the Browns, it's all on Jim Schwartz.
Speaker 5: They blitz of forty eight almost forty eight percent of
Speaker 5: dropbacks on second down. Meanwhile, they might not be the
Speaker 5: dude to be blitzing against, though Jayden Daniels is getting
Speaker 5: rid of the ball quickly. Yeah, teams are playing with
Speaker 5: their safeties close to the line of scrimmage and it's
Speaker 5: not working. And when the when the Bengals are sending zeros,
Speaker 5: they're hitting the shots to get you back out of that.
Speaker 5: And some folks are charting regression. And I would understand
Speaker 5: that against a traditionally good Browns defense, I'm just gonna
Speaker 5: need to see him struggle before I say that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and like the defense that you think about with
Speaker 1: the Browns, they would have gone into Vegas last week
Speaker 1: week and absolutely dominate. I'm not saying they played poorly,
Speaker 1: but they just looked like two even teams. They gave
Speaker 1: up one hundred and fifty two yards rushing to the Raiders. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so don't run the ball well and and a lot
Speaker 1: of that was those like wide receiver end a round
Speaker 1: type stuff. I mean, the Commanders can take advantage with
Speaker 1: their speed, with in Jayden Daniels's legs, with the over
Speaker 1: aggressiveness sometimes. I mean Grant Delpit said before last week's
Speaker 1: game it was a must win, and then they lost.
Speaker 1: So whenever you lose the must win, I just I
Speaker 1: just chalk up the next week as a loss too.
Speaker 3: I mean, it is it's dark there.
Speaker 1: They they're spending more cash this If you're Jim Haslim,
Speaker 1: you're spending he just gave his coach and his GM,
Speaker 1: I think an extension.
Speaker 2: Of as he should. As he should.
Speaker 1: Uh, he's spending more cash on players than any team
Speaker 1: in the league. They are the second oldest team in
Speaker 1: the league.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's because they keep converting all those all those
Speaker 4: future years into cash. Just real quick, we can't talk
Speaker 4: about Brian Robinson and whe they're doing with the running
Speaker 4: game of Washington. That's why those safeties are playing up
Speaker 4: and I mentioned it yesterday on the pod. Anthony Lynn
Speaker 4: being you know, their run game coordinator helps out a lot.
Speaker 4: It keeps Cliff Kingsbury from going gets his tendency to
Speaker 4: throwing the ball too much. And when you've got a
Speaker 4: stud like him, Eckler could be back as well this game.
Speaker 2: So this is this is.
Speaker 1: Why their lighting dominated as good as Jayden Daniels is.
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe how much pass pro he had last week,
Speaker 1: and it was against Arizona's not known for rushing the passer.
Speaker 1: But he's just sitting back there chilling. So that's a
Speaker 1: great job by their front.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and it makes it extra tough because you got
Speaker 5: to be under control when you're rushing Jayd and Daniels
Speaker 5: and then when when you're getting Mauleder front on.
Speaker 2: Top of that.
Speaker 5: That was the recipe again, fifty would have been easy
Speaker 5: and easy he had Dan decided that he wanted to.
Speaker 5: I'm sure Cliff might have considered won it anyway. But
Speaker 5: as as Greg pointed out, they're still paying him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's still cashing those checks from mccardill. See he
Speaker 1: won twice last Sunday.
Speaker 3: It's awesome.
Speaker 2: All right, to our next game.
Speaker 5: It's the Carolina Panthers who traded famously with the Chicago Bears,
Speaker 5: and here we are the payoff of the trade. DJ
Speaker 5: Morald one side, Caleb Williams on the side with him,
Speaker 5: and Bryce Young is watching as Andy Dalton starts for
Speaker 5: the third straight game former Bears starting quarterback Andy Dalton.
Speaker 5: So another Dalton revenge game two weeks in a row.
Speaker 5: Chicago is a four point favorite. Here's Steve. We got
Speaker 5: Kenny Albert and Jonathan Vilma on the call. The Bears
Speaker 5: can run the ball now apparently you know, well they
Speaker 5: ran against the Rams, you know who we were just.
Speaker 3: Talking and the Panthers defense.
Speaker 4: Which which is just you know, where, gosh, where the
Speaker 4: Panthers do well. I mean, that's one thing you have
Speaker 4: to kind of ask yourself. This is one of things
Speaker 4: for Chicago. Let's see if they can get it going right.
Speaker 4: This is an important stretch for them. But let's see
Speaker 4: if they can get it going any game they should win,
Speaker 4: right they you know their defense, They've got the defense
Speaker 4: to put the heat all over Andy Dalton forced a
Speaker 4: couple of takeaways and then offensively get the run.
Speaker 2: Try to get the run to balance the pass game.
Speaker 4: Don't put a ton of don't put a ton of it,
Speaker 4: you know, on the rookie quarterback. But I just think
Speaker 4: four force probably about the right number for this because
Speaker 4: I don't see Chicago necessarily rolling over everybody because they're
Speaker 4: still working through things. But you know, if we're seeing
Speaker 4: Caleb Williams and in this run game getting it going
Speaker 4: against Carolina, you know, to me, I think for is
Speaker 4: a really nice number with the beers on top.
Speaker 3: It just hasn't clicked for Caleb Williams yet.
Speaker 1: There are a couple plays last week where he was
Speaker 1: so stuck in the pocket refusing to move his feet
Speaker 1: that you almost could hear the coaching point of don't
Speaker 1: bail out too quickly, but like he literally just wasn't moving,
Speaker 1: and that I don't think that's the natural thing for
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams.
Speaker 3: Like his feet like we're just just planted, just planted.
Speaker 1: And he had people around him, and he hit a
Speaker 1: bunch of his short passes and he didn't make mistakes
Speaker 1: in the running game. So that was effective for a week.
Speaker 1: Could go this is an opportunity against a bad defense.
Speaker 1: You have the Jags, me and you will be at
Speaker 1: that key, Steve, you know if you're in the UK,
Speaker 1: you can see me. I'll be on Sky Sports on
Speaker 1: the sideline, so we're both sidelines or both sidelines. I'll
Speaker 1: bump INTI maybe i'll say hi. And what a gift
Speaker 1: they've been given over there, Yeah, a gift they've been
Speaker 1: given the by the schedule, guys, I mean to get
Speaker 1: a bang the Brams team than the Panthers, than the Jags,
Speaker 1: than the bye, then a Cardinals team that has some issues.
Speaker 1: You can make some hay here and we can get going.
Speaker 1: I just want to see Caleb be a little more comfortable.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the discomfort, I think it's going to be on
Speaker 5: the Carolina Panthers side if matching up these teams, the Bears.
Speaker 2: Defense is the is the clear plus Yes in this one.
Speaker 5: As great as the Andy Dalton revolution has been, and
Speaker 5: it's nice to see them be a functional football team.
Speaker 5: Watching Matt Stafford fail to make plays late and again
Speaker 5: the accumulation of circumstances that that he's facing probably played
Speaker 5: a role in that. But this Bears defense is just
Speaker 5: so so so good and it's tough to imagine. Four
Speaker 5: points feels about right. I'm I'm with the odds makers here.
Speaker 1: I saw a headline from Panthers camp today that was,
Speaker 1: you know, their coach Dave Canalis saying Deontay Johnson is
Speaker 1: not available in a trade, which I was like, why
Speaker 1: would that?
Speaker 3: Is that a question? Why was that? I didn't think
Speaker 3: that was Why would he be He's like I always like.
Speaker 2: I think the Panthers are sellers right now.
Speaker 1: No, I get it. I think he's on Is he
Speaker 1: on the last year of his contract? I believe he
Speaker 1: is so, I guess naturally, maybe in three or four
Speaker 1: weeks if the record was really bad, teams could come calling.
Speaker 1: But they want to produce this the first year of
Speaker 1: under Dave Canalis. I think they would like to have
Speaker 1: Deontay Johnson long term there. They should not be in
Speaker 1: the business of giving away weapons, and they should feel better.
Speaker 1: They're offensive line playing better, and Lagett had a nice
Speaker 1: Xavier Lagett had a nice game. So that those are
Speaker 1: the types of things. If you're a Panthers fan, you
Speaker 1: really are looking towards some of these free agents. Can
Speaker 1: they work out on the offensive line? Can Laget workout,
Speaker 1: Deontay Johnson work and then okay, these are guys we
Speaker 1: can build with.
Speaker 4: And they've got to form some type of nucleus, because
Speaker 4: right now they don't really have a ton of building blocks.
Speaker 5: Perhaps, you know, is the Pittsburgh Steelers active and trying
Speaker 5: to find wide receivers for a long time. You know,
Speaker 5: maybe the breakup should have never happened.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, Yeah, that's fair. I think they're happy with
Speaker 1: Dante Jackson. That's a rare case where it might be
Speaker 1: a win win where both both teams are relatively happy.
Speaker 3: But I'd rather have Deontae Johnson.
Speaker 2: To your point, let's go to a little Monday night. Yeah,
Speaker 2: are you ready for ball?
Speaker 5: The New Orleans Saints at the Kansas City Chiefs, who
Speaker 5: have been struggling on offense, who have lost their top
Speaker 5: wide receiver, A five and a half point favorite of course,
Speaker 5: Joe Buck and Troy Aikman on the call, Greg five
Speaker 5: and a half.
Speaker 2: That's a big number. That feels like a lot against
Speaker 2: the good same number.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's almost like they're just begging it. Forget forget
Speaker 1: the five and a half. I mean, I am going
Speaker 1: to be very tempted to make the same mistake I've
Speaker 1: made so many times the Patrick Balms era. Dare to
Speaker 1: doubt this man at home because it feels like the
Speaker 1: Saints are better than their two and two record and
Speaker 1: the Chiefs aren't as good as their four to zero record.
Speaker 1: And when those two types of teams match up, I
Speaker 1: tend to pick it evening out. This Chief's offense really
Speaker 1: testing the ideas that Andy Reid's gonna have because he's
Speaker 1: going back to sky more on third downs. Like that's
Speaker 1: not working out. You got Kareem Hunt back in the building.
Speaker 1: He ran well, but it just that wasn't the plan,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? They it will be moving forward,
Speaker 1: right They wanted to be more explosive this year, and
Speaker 1: I think they had four explosive players. Rashie Rice, Hollywood Brown,
Speaker 1: and Isaiah Pacheco are now gone.
Speaker 3: Those were three of the four.
Speaker 1: The fourth, the rookie Worthy is an exciting young player.
Speaker 1: Can you build more of the offense around him. I
Speaker 1: think that's going to have to be the challenge as
Speaker 1: they move forward. I don't know if he's ready for
Speaker 1: it right yet.
Speaker 2: I do, Okay, I mean, I mean we've seen it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, why aren't they using it more? Maybe just I
Speaker 1: don't know. Andy Reid does slow play rookies quite a bit.
Speaker 4: And we and we talked about you know, first four
Speaker 4: games or their preseason, let's figure out what's working. And
Speaker 4: they've had to adjust some things right because of the injury.
Speaker 4: So everything I've seen that is Avier worthy. Again, if
Speaker 4: they decide to lean on him now, I think he
Speaker 4: could have a Z eight Flowers type of impact. Before
Speaker 4: they're not putting the pressure on him. Now they're putting
Speaker 4: the pressure on him. I think he's the type of player.
Speaker 4: He can go big. I mean, that's just the thing
Speaker 4: against the Saints. Saints got the DBS, like ty Matthew's
Speaker 4: gonna be sitting over the top of him all game, right,
Speaker 4: There's not going to be, you know, the type of
Speaker 4: space that he's been getting, and that's something they're gonna
Speaker 4: have to stop. So can Andy Reid find out to
Speaker 4: figure out some things underneath? It gets a very solid
Speaker 4: Saints defensive front, so it'll be intriguing. My thing, though,
Speaker 4: is to me, this is more of what are we
Speaker 4: gonna find out about the Saints. Are they the team
Speaker 4: that was hanging forty on people the first two or
Speaker 4: that is decent offensively because they're going up against one
Speaker 4: of the top defenses in the NFL in terms of
Speaker 4: making you earn everything that you have to get And
Speaker 4: are the Saints that type of offense? We saw they
Speaker 4: look they look like they could play that type of
Speaker 4: game against the Falcons last week, they just came up
Speaker 4: short at the end of the game.
Speaker 2: So I don't know.
Speaker 4: I think this is more of a tell on what
Speaker 4: the Saints are going to because I think they're a
Speaker 4: pretty good football team. But against this defense on the road,
Speaker 4: we'll see.
Speaker 5: They are Saints oh and two in close games they
Speaker 5: got two blowout yep. Those that to two featured some
Speaker 5: of the most catastrophic mistakes that you could ever possibly
Speaker 5: imagine that get they could very easily before and O
Speaker 5: and the Kansas City Chiefs have not been in a
Speaker 5: game that wasn't a close game.
Speaker 2: They played closely.
Speaker 5: Came down to the wire because particularly of the injuries
Speaker 5: and the offensive struggles. Patrick mahomes the lowest mark of
Speaker 5: his career five point one air yards per attempt. So
Speaker 5: if we want Xavier Worthy getting all these downfield shots,
Speaker 5: they're just not available in this offense. And I'm I
Speaker 5: kind of feel like between Nakey and Andy Reid and
Speaker 5: probably the quarterback as well, those low percentage opportunities, they
Speaker 5: feel like They're going to be off the field very
Speaker 5: very fast if they don't hit those and so they
Speaker 5: don't go to those shot plays as much. This this
Speaker 5: feels like an opportunity where it's not wish casting to
Speaker 5: say the same. Now this feels very real.
Speaker 1: I think the offensive line is the biggest, you know issue.
Speaker 1: It held up well enough last week without Eric McCoy,
Speaker 1: without Caesar ruiz U, two interior players. McCoy really key,
Speaker 1: but that was against the Falcons. That's a team you
Speaker 1: can kind of survive with the shaky offensive line, Trevor
Speaker 1: Penning and everything. Now you've got to go up against
Speaker 1: the Chiefs in their front with Chris Jones playing like
Speaker 1: Hall of famer and George carlislek after week continue and
Speaker 1: so that that worries me a little bit. It'll be tougher.
Speaker 1: But I do think there's an opportunity. I think the
Speaker 1: one the one Calendra I would have to to what
Speaker 1: you said. Patrick has those catastrophic mistakes. That's a hallmark
Speaker 1: of this Dennis Allen team. And Alvin Kamara in the
Speaker 1: locker room afterwards was very pointed about it, like that
Speaker 1: they make some mistakes, they don't win games that that
Speaker 1: great teams do, and he was very frustrated because of
Speaker 1: the blown opportunities that this this keeps happening to us
Speaker 1: over and over.
Speaker 4: Well, look, you keep on doing the same thing over
Speaker 4: and over, and that's a habit, you know. So that's
Speaker 4: an issue, and you don't. You don't beat Kansas City
Speaker 4: by beating yourself.
Speaker 5: And Kamara's saying that playing with broken ribs, yeah, in
Speaker 5: a game. It's just I can't imagine the level of
Speaker 5: frustration to go out there and have a performance like
Speaker 5: he did with broken ribs and to see them lose
Speaker 5: to a team that didn't score an offensive touchdown.
Speaker 3: That's the thing.
Speaker 1: I mean that game in particular. I think the Eagles
Speaker 1: game was more you know, some mental errors. That was
Speaker 1: just I mean, that wasn't mental air by Rashiza, but
Speaker 1: you wouldn't think that that would ever happen again. That
Speaker 1: the pick six was a little crazy. I do like
Speaker 1: the Saints in this one. I gotta admit, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think I keep on board there.
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't like the points battle like the Chiefs.
Speaker 1: I keep blowing it just expecting too much of this
Speaker 1: Saints team.
Speaker 5: Let's go to our game in Seattle, coming off that
Speaker 5: heartbreaker score fest against the Lions, a six point favorite
Speaker 5: against Malik Neighbors and the New York Giants. For some reason,
Speaker 5: people keep putting dimes on promos about the Giants, and
Speaker 5: I just have to audibly change it.
Speaker 2: Not the same.
Speaker 5: Elie dabors the Giants. UH Seattle favored by six forty
Speaker 5: three and a half. Andrew Kettle On, Ticky Barber, Jason
Speaker 5: mccordy on the call, Steve, where Gino played great, He
Speaker 5: played a spectacular football game, but the defense literally could
Speaker 5: not get Jared Goff to throw a single incompletion.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean, look, they had what four four starters in
Speaker 4: the front seven who were all down. You know, I
Speaker 4: don't know if they're getting any of those guys back. First,
Speaker 4: let's go back to your announcers. Jason mccordy doing a
Speaker 4: good job. It's spectacular. He's really really just a hell
Speaker 4: of an analyst. You know, props to him. But to
Speaker 4: get back to this game, you know, the six the
Speaker 4: sixth number looks big to me for Seattle because you know, defensively,
Speaker 4: they had their issues. You saw how Detroit really put
Speaker 4: some good secondary players Rieke willand especially Devin Witherspoon in
Speaker 4: tremendous conflict.
Speaker 2: I don't know if the Giants have.
Speaker 4: The players necessarily to do that, or the quarterback to
Speaker 4: do that, or the play caller to do that. But
Speaker 4: until Seattle gets fully healthy up front, there's gonna be
Speaker 4: some opportunities there. But Seattle's gonna score. I mean there,
Speaker 4: the Seahawks are going to put points up. We saw
Speaker 4: out of Kenneth Walker. Uh, and they're gonna get Now,
Speaker 4: They're gonna continue to rely on him. I mean, he
Speaker 4: finally he looks super healthy. I think he's gonna be
Speaker 4: able to run the ball against the Giants. That's gonna
Speaker 4: get those pass rushers who are very good for the
Speaker 4: Giants on their heels, and then Gino just dialing it up.
Speaker 4: I mean, but he's got going with DK metcalf Is
Speaker 4: is really special.
Speaker 5: Look at Kenneth Walker right here. That's one of the
Speaker 5: more athletic plays I've ever seen.
Speaker 1: When he got flipped over lands on his feet and
Speaker 1: just keeps going. I mean, his ability to change direction.
Speaker 1: It probably drives their coaches crazy every now and then
Speaker 1: because he'll have like a minus seven thrown in there.
Speaker 3: He'll lose some plays.
Speaker 1: But my God, it's fun to watch when it works,
Speaker 1: and it's been working more and more. I think he's
Speaker 1: gotten better and better as a pro. And I think
Speaker 1: their offensive line has improved the last time hegree because
Speaker 1: they were just a tire fire the first two weeks,
Speaker 1: where you're thinking it's a big, big problem. The last
Speaker 1: two weeks it's been more like, okay, if you're closer
Speaker 1: to average. I didn't think Gino was pressured too much
Speaker 1: against the Lions. When he was, it tended to be
Speaker 1: the longer, developing plays where he held the ball and
Speaker 1: he made it happen. And I think that's a good
Speaker 1: sign for them against a pretty good front. Burns is
Speaker 1: getting a lot of pressures, he's not finishing plays. Cavon's
Speaker 1: coming off a big game. You got Dexter Lawrence. I
Speaker 1: think the this is damning with faint praise, But the
Speaker 1: Lion the Giants are a good one in three.
Speaker 2: I think I would agree with that.
Speaker 3: I think they've been better.
Speaker 1: I looked at the rest of the one in threes here,
Speaker 1: I think there's eight or nine teams. I would say
Speaker 1: that they're like the second best one in three team.
Speaker 1: I mean that's the least the second life. Yeah, given
Speaker 1: the first, I'm giving Burrow the first burrow and the
Speaker 1: Bengals the first, and I would think just an average
Speaker 1: like weekly play. I think they've probably been a little
Speaker 1: better than the Rams and maybe the Cardinals.
Speaker 2: I just think they're okay.
Speaker 1: They're all in the same area, but they're just not
Speaker 1: great at anything. But they're not terrible at anything either.
Speaker 1: They're just like a little below average at everything.
Speaker 5: If you're looking for a terrible Giants stat uh, you
Speaker 5: go back to twenty twenty two. On downfield passing attempts,
Speaker 5: Daniel Jones has thrown more interceptions than he has completion, okay, touchdowns.
Speaker 5: On downfield passing, there were several times on that game
Speaker 5: on Thursday Night where Giants receivers were open, they were
Speaker 5: open and the ball placement was so bad that they
Speaker 5: the Cowboys defense was able to get back and make
Speaker 5: plays or the ball just wound up being uncatchable. And
Speaker 5: after seeing the Seahawks' defense go up against again the
Speaker 5: most accurate quarterback on the night in NFL history, it's
Speaker 5: gonna be a feel good reprieve to see number eight
Speaker 5: on the other side.
Speaker 4: It's inching the Daniel Jones deepall conversation. Some folks, you're
Speaker 4: just saying because the injuries, he can't uncork anymore. I mean,
Speaker 4: I don't know if there's any factual truth behind it,
Speaker 4: but you just see over and over when he's trying
Speaker 4: to throw that deep ball, it is it is not
Speaker 4: getting there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I take it back what I said that they're
Speaker 1: like just below average everything because they're terrible at throwing
Speaker 1: the deep ball. That's a big factor. And neighbors, right,
Speaker 1: and when you have good you have Darius Slayton. That's
Speaker 1: what he wants to major in. And he's a good
Speaker 1: NFL player. He's not like a great one, but he's
Speaker 1: a rotation. He's a good player. But you're not taking
Speaker 1: advantage of him. You're not taking advantage of Jaalen Hyatt
Speaker 1: who can barely get on the field for his team,
Speaker 1: and you're going up against some cornerbacks who can play
Speaker 1: sticky man coverage and that just that limits what you
Speaker 1: want to do. So yeah, I don't think they'll win
Speaker 1: this game, but I don't know if I trust the
Speaker 1: Seahawks to be blowing teams out either. I can see
Speaker 1: this coming down to the end between the Giants and
Speaker 1: the Seahawks.
Speaker 3: Why not?
Speaker 2: Yea, why not. Jason mccuardy will really give us a
Speaker 2: good insight on it as well.
Speaker 1: I think he's doing a great I'm glad you shouted
Speaker 1: him out.
Speaker 5: Yeah, indeed, and shout out to Eugene Cyril Smith and
Speaker 5: everything that he's doing in Seattle.
Speaker 2: Let's get to our final game.
Speaker 5: It is another game speaking of the NFC West, A
Speaker 5: Division matchup between the Arizona Cardinals at the San Francisco
Speaker 5: forty nine Ers. We're trying to figure out these teams
Speaker 5: right now. It's forty nine ers favored by seven, but
Speaker 5: it's just up and down.
Speaker 2: Greg.
Speaker 5: We see the Arizona Cardinals come out, they hang a
Speaker 5: billion points on the Rams and then the offense has
Speaker 5: been slow ever since. And looking at San Francisco like
Speaker 5: when are they going to be the forty nine ers
Speaker 5: that we I think they.
Speaker 1: Were pretty close to it now. The Patriots are the Patriots,
Speaker 1: but they controlled that game. They got up twenty to nothing,
Speaker 1: they had their good players come back. In terms of
Speaker 1: Debo and George Kittle, I like the direction that they're going.
Speaker 1: I think they're getting fantastic play out of Rock Purty.
Speaker 1: I talked about him on Quarterback Island that I think
Speaker 1: he's playing better than when he was an MVP candidate
Speaker 1: a year ago. I think he's legitimately one of the
Speaker 1: five best quarterbacks in the league so far this year.
Speaker 1: And so if your quarterback's playing that well and you
Speaker 1: have all this talent around him the defense, that's the question.
Speaker 1: And this is a good week to continue to try
Speaker 1: to get healthy because Kyler's just a little out of rhythm,
Speaker 1: Like his eyes kept coming down and seeing the pass
Speaker 1: rush last week, he's maybe trying to do a little
Speaker 1: too much out of structure. He did it against the
Speaker 1: Rams so much where he's just out there and it's
Speaker 1: the Kyler show that he might have fallen too much
Speaker 1: in love with it the last couple of weeks, and
Speaker 1: you're not seeing a lot of making throws at the
Speaker 1: back of his drop and in rhythm type of throws
Speaker 1: to his receivers.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the last four games with these teams, I mean
Speaker 4: the forty nine ers were just rolled Arizona, and you
Speaker 4: know there's a potential for this to happen right here.
Speaker 4: Jordan Mason's gonna get some rushing yards here. I mean,
Speaker 4: he's he's just got it working I don't care what
Speaker 4: defense they're playing.
Speaker 2: Their offensive line. I mean, look at this right here.
Speaker 4: That's what you call playing on a thread that zone
Speaker 4: stretch scheme, and he just breaks the first tackle every time.
Speaker 4: You're not gonna get a clean look at him. But
Speaker 4: he's just a typical now Niners running back where he's
Speaker 4: going to get positive yards or watching video of him
Speaker 4: in the red zone cut back, he's getting into the
Speaker 4: end zone. That's gonna happen against the Cardinals. They're not
Speaker 4: great at any level. And tackling, it seems like Buddha
Speaker 4: Baker's got seventeen tackles every game coming up from the
Speaker 4: safety spot. That's gonna open up things in the run game.
Speaker 4: I just this is one brock Perdy. If he throws
Speaker 4: the ball twenty four times, I'll be surprised because I
Speaker 4: just think that you're gonna be able to run the ball.
Speaker 4: Debo's gonna get some runs off. I think this is
Speaker 4: gonna be a heavy, heavy rushing attack by the forty
Speaker 4: nine ers at home.
Speaker 5: I'm glad you brought up rock Party because it's kind
Speaker 5: of getting lost. Rock Party is leading the NFL in
Speaker 5: passing right now and thirty passing yards this season under
Speaker 5: that more than Gina under twenty percent of those have
Speaker 5: been after the catch. Right, So this collective rock party,
Speaker 5: you know, fraud watch criticism where it's like, oh, this
Speaker 5: is all this is all yards after the catch and
Speaker 5: oh Sam Darnold should come in and play instead of him,
Speaker 5: And like, Brock is playing very good football with the
Speaker 5: team not being the guys who are consistently in and out.
Speaker 5: We've we've seen Trent League games, right, but Ayukus had
Speaker 5: a slow start, they had to rely on Juwan Jennings.
Speaker 5: It's Brock is playing really really good football right now.
Speaker 5: And the Arizona Cardinals.
Speaker 1: The young player, Like it makes sense that he's improving
Speaker 1: a lot this early in his career. He's played so
Speaker 1: much and in such big spots, and you think of
Speaker 1: him because he was mister irrelevant as like and I
Speaker 1: maybe fell victim to this too of like that he's
Speaker 1: just this guy that isn't going to be as talented.
Speaker 3: But we expect talented young quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: To keep improving in their first five years before they
Speaker 1: are fully formed, and we're seeing more of the fully
Speaker 1: formed Brock. Pretty he can continue to get better, but
Speaker 1: he's he's not afraid to throw deep. No, Like his
Speaker 1: percentage of deep throws is sky high yards per attempt.
Speaker 1: He's leading the league by half a yard. I can't
Speaker 1: question his decision making. Like he's running the ball pretty
Speaker 1: well too. And this Cardinals defense, after a decent three
Speaker 1: weeks where you're like, oh, they're playing a little over
Speaker 1: their skis, came back to earth and that was kind
Speaker 1: of the Cardinals defense you expected to see a week
Speaker 1: ago against the Commanders.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And to get back to Brock, I mean, you've heard
Speaker 4: me say it over and over. He's a killer, right.
Speaker 4: He is a dude who, when it comes down to it,
Speaker 4: you test him, he's gonna rip it to you. Like
Speaker 4: he's not someone's gonna take a shot, right, He's not
Speaker 4: Jay Cutler type. I'm gonna show you my big arm
Speaker 4: and try and rip it in there. But he finds
Speaker 4: the receiver. He is not afraid to throw the ball
Speaker 4: to where it's supposed to go to to throw Juwan
Speaker 4: Jennings or whomever who might be covered. I'm gonna put
Speaker 4: it to where you're gonna catch it. You're gonna make
Speaker 4: to play. I just think he's a winning quarterback, but
Speaker 4: not in the oh he's a winner type of right.
Speaker 2: He's a guy who's going to be able to lead
Speaker 2: you to victory. And I think he's showing that.
Speaker 4: Like we talked about, just everything that they've been without,
Speaker 4: they've got him.
Speaker 1: The playoff run, I think is going to get a
Speaker 1: little lost because they lost that game, but the fact
Speaker 1: that he was in a position where he had to
Speaker 1: make a drive to avoid a really tough loss in
Speaker 1: the division round and they get it done by now
Speaker 1: he was a big part of the reason they were
Speaker 1: trailing by so much at halftime in the NFC Championship,
Speaker 1: but to respond like he did, and I will always
Speaker 1: remember his drives at the end of the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: in the way that I remember Tom Brady's two thousand
Speaker 1: and seven drive to take the lead over the Giants
Speaker 1: as one of the best moments of his career.
Speaker 3: It really was.
Speaker 1: And then they lost the game. Anyways, that's how it happens.
Speaker 1: Brock Purdy had some incredible moments in the biggest of spots,
Speaker 1: and this is not that, but.
Speaker 3: They do need to win.
Speaker 1: And suddenly, you know, you lose at home and against
Speaker 1: the Cardinals and you're two and three and everyone's panicing.
Speaker 3: Trey McBride is expected to be back for this game.
Speaker 1: That is good news for the Fantasy tight End Apocalypse
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty four.
Speaker 5: It's nasty out there, tumbleweeds and people are fighting for
Speaker 5: cat food to the tight end world and stuff.
Speaker 1: I got people picking up Elijah Higgins and starting them
Speaker 1: in my league.
Speaker 3: It's like, who what?
Speaker 5: I'm getting psyched up by Isaiah likely after week one
Speaker 5: in good call, Steve, Yeah, Gino does have rock by
Speaker 5: fifty two yards. Okay, so Gino's is still number one,
Speaker 5: but hey to Greg's to Greg on Ultimate, what a world?
Speaker 1: What a world that everyone just kind of accepts, like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, Gino, he's a top ten quarterback, He's the man.
Speaker 1: It's just accepted. It's not even controversial, not at all.
Speaker 1: I don't know, let's go. It's just facts. That's what
Speaker 1: we deal That's what we deal in. What we also
Speaker 1: deal in here, factual analysis, information, a little bit of
Speaker 1: fun in the Chris Westling Podcast Studio. Always love doing
Speaker 1: this previous show with Steve Weish and Patrick Clayband. Thanks
