30
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 2: exciting week of the Richard Sherman Podcast. Week one of

31
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 2: the Nettional Football League. It's been chaos, Mitchell, it.

32
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: Always is, rich I could not be more excited. Man,

33
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: you flip on the TV this morning. Football is back,

34
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: my friend, It is back. And we were blessed, I

35
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: said all day by some good games. I think some

36
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: surprises with some good games, Rich.

37
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 2: And my Super Bowl prediction is still looking good. Although

38
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 2: the Kansas City Chiefs lost, I expect them to look

39
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 2: good in December and January when it matters. Travis Kelsey

40
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 2: will be there, Chris Jones will be there. But you

41
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 2: know who looked great who usually don't don't look great

42
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 2: on the opening week. Kyle Shanahan's teams usually look a

43
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 2: little rocky, you know, to start this season and then

44
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 2: they they come on late, you know, get sharp. But

45
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 2: they looked sharp. Mitchell. Everybody had question marks with Demko'

46
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 2: Ryan Leavin. After Robert Sala left, They're like, how is

47
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 2: this defense gonna be? That's like asking Mitchell is a

48
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 2: Ferrari still gonna be fast if somebody else is driving

49
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 2: and Mitchell I can drive, you can drive, my daughter

50
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 2: Avery can drive in It's still gonna be a Ferrari baby,

51
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 2: And that defense is a Ferrari. And they got Javon

52
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 2: Hargrave who had him a sack today. But let's talk

53
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 2: about the all pros Mitchell, the all pros on each level.

54
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 2: We'll start with Nicholas John Bosa came off the streets

55
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 2: pretty much two days of practice and had a pretty

56
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 2: good impact, got double, didn't get any sacks, but he

57
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 2: allowed for Drake Jackson in his second year to have

58
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 2: a coming out party three sacks. Javon Hargrave got a sack.

59
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 2: Then you had Fred Warner who was all over the field,

60
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 2: all over the place, like project roaches. Mitchell, him and

61
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 2: Drake Greenlaw are by far the best linebacker tandem in

62
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 2: the National Football League. And Drake Greenlaw could have got

63
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 2: Player of the Game. He was everywhere. But Fred Warner

64
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 2: tipping passes, dropped an interception. Oh, I know he wanted

65
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 2: that one back. Mitchell. He had his hands on the

66
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 2: interception a little bit behind him, covered it so well,

67
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 2: dropped it and they tried to fit it in Kenny Pikett,

68
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 2: Kenny picked, Yes he can. Kenny get picked, Yes he can. Mitchell,

69
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 2: he can. He did, Tyler Noah Hufanga, Tarvarius Ward. They

70
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 2: both got him. Mooney, Ward got him on a clean one, smooth,

71
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 2: Tylanoah got him on on a tip because he decided

72
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 2: to try all pro Fred, which is unacceptable. Yes, you're

73
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 2: gonna get punished. And then he got He got sexy

74
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 2: with him. Mitchell, he got a little pitch and the

75
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 2: rest gotta let that go sometimes like he wasn't pitching

76
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 2: it forward. They know what he was trying to do.

77
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 2: Like you're running full speed, it's hard to pitch it

78
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 2: behind you. But man, that was fun to watch. It

79
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 2: was fun to watch that d line. It was fun

80
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 2: to watch the linebackers fly around. Then you get to

81
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 2: the offense, and everybody got questions about brock Perdy Mitchell.

82
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 2: How do you look to you?

83
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: He looked good, Rich, he looked very very good. That's

84
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: that's the thing with this team. I mean we were

85
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 1: texting all the way through the game. They looked like

86
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: they were in mid season Former right out the gates.

87
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: And to your point, they got they got that Asus

88
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 1: spades always in their back pocket. Doesn't matter what that

89
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: offense is doing. They got all prost every depth of

90
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: that defense. But when brock Purty plays like this, Rich,

91
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 1: I see what you're saying. I see what you're saying.

92
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: I see what you're saying. Super Bowl looks very very

93
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: very very achievable, even with brock Purty at the helm.

94
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 2: And you know, even with Minchell, no, even with like

95
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 2: he's playing good football. If he was a top five

96
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 2: pick Mitchell playing like he is right now, people would

97
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 2: be talking about he's on his way to being one

98
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 2: of the all time, one of the elites in the

99
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 2: football league. But since he's a seventh rounder who doesn't

100
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 2: look the part, whose arm isn't as lively as everybody else's,

101
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 2: he's a system quarterback. People are not going to give

102
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 2: him credit because he has Christian McCaffrey in the backfield,

103
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 2: who could break for a sixty five yard run. The

104
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 2: receivers down the field blocking Brandon. I you Ray Ray

105
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 2: McDonald out there, Ray Ray McLeod, my bad, et cetera. Wrong,

106
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 2: rayvery McLeod out there. That's how much they care. And

107
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 2: then you got Brandon Ayu by himself. Patrick Peterson has

108
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 2: said before the game he expected to get his hands

109
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 2: on the football, and he's a veteran, one of my

110
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 2: good friends, been playing for a long time, got a

111
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 2: lot of them books and he expected to get one

112
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 2: this game. And they gave him a really simple pattern,

113
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 2: but they condensed it. They made it look a little different.

114
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:14,919
Speaker 1: You know.

115
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 2: That's what Kyle does a great job of window dressing,

116
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 2: you know, make make similar things look different. You know,

117
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 2: move a guy here, and move a guy here, and

118
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 2: then have them run out and expand instead of just

119
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 2: standing out there and running the route. So they ran

120
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 2: basically double posts and an over route by Deebo Samuel.

121
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 2: For some reason, the safety got pulled out of there.

122
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 2: He's a middlefield safety. You should let that pass to

123
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 2: the other corner and it's fine, and then fall back

124
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 2: and you might have an interception, but instead he didn't.

125
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 2: I you gave pros pat Peel a little bit turned

126
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 2: around and he was sitting there all day ready to

127
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 2: catch that one. Nobody even touched him when he landed.

128
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 2: Then he had the fade ball, Menchell into tight coverage,

129
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 2: easy one. And though those are the footballs, those are

130
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 2: the reasons why Kyle Shanahan really likes Rock Purdue because

131
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 2: he's given receivers a chance, even though and sometimes in

132
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 2: those situations it doesn't look like it's a good throw,

133
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 2: it's a good decision. You know, you're like, hi, I said,

134
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 2: jump ball fifty to fifty. He's saying, hey, this ba,

135
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 2: my guy's better than yours. I'm gonna give you a chance,

136
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 2: and that's what's gonna win him over his guys. But man,

137
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 2: that was a good performance all the way around.

138
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: Going into this game. I mean, the Vegas line, I

139
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: mean was hovering around three points. You know, there was

140
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: there was a lot of action on Pittsburgh all right.

141
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: To me, I'm like you sure about that? You know

142
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: this is the same team San Francisco. This is now

143
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: eleven straight regular season wins. This team's not backing down

144
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: anytime soon. Rich again, they look like they are in

145
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: mid season form. Pretty shut up some haters today. There's

146
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: no doubt.

147
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 2: He definitely did. And then you heard all the hype

148
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 2: around Kenny Pickett from the preseason, and you're like, Kenny

149
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 2: Pickett had an outstanding preseason, almost perfect, and then he

150
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 2: got against the number one defense in the land. Prove

151
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 2: yourself against them, boys, and it's very difficult to do.

152
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 2: Even when TJ. Watt is having a freaking amazing day.

153
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 2: Teacher had a great day, three sacks. He's going to

154
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 2: be the front runner for Defensive Player of the Year

155
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 2: because Bosa didn't start off with no sacks, so he's

156
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 2: gonna have a good shot at it. But Deontay Johnson

157
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 2: only had three catches for forty eight yards. I mean,

158
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 2: George Pickens was non existent. After everything you've heard, all

159
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 2: the positive things we've heard about him coming out of

160
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 2: training camp, he was a go to guy. He's going

161
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 2: to be one of the best in the league. And

162
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 2: it's just crazy, Mitchelle, It's just crazy. But you know

163
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 2: what's even crazier.

164
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: Mitchell Oh, I already know where you're going with this, Rich,

165
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: Let's go to your own backyard, man, I mean, I

166
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: don't want to go back Seattle. They're welcoming the Rams

167
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: for opening day. You already know, you already know. The

168
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 1: twelves are fired up. They're expecting a big win. There's

169
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:48,719
Speaker 1: a lot of hype. Heck, we gave him a lot

170
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: of hype. The Rams are supposed to be this new era.

171
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. The Seattle Sea are supposed to be this

172
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 1: new era, Not the Rams. The Rams are the dumpster

173
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: fire at the NFC West. Not today, my friend, not today.

174
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 1: What the heck happened?

175
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 2: Rich, Mitchell, I don't know. That's the hardest part. I

176
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 2: could not put a finger on it. I don't The

177
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 2: formula is there, All the ingredients are there to make

178
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 2: a beautiful meal, Mitchell, a beautiful entree, hot steak dinner

179
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 2: with all the fixings. Mitchell. You got sugar and spice

180
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 2: and everything nice. And it was a disaster, Mitchell. The

181
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 2: Rams didn't go in there expecting to play as well

182
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 2: as they did. They didn't expect to put up thirty points.

183
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 2: Sean mcmacon line and say he did. But if we

184
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 2: went in there, even based off of Stafford's comments, and

185
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 2: training camp, and you can't connect with the young guys

186
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 2: and trying to find a way to get connected. And

187
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 2: we're just so young and we don't know what we're

188
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 2: gonna do. And they were missing their best receiver, Cooper

189
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 2: Cup Mitchell, they were missing him. They were missing Cooper Cup.

190
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 2: Cooper Cups not playing Mitchell, and so you used Tutu

191
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 2: at Well who had six receptions from one nineteen a

192
00:09:55,360 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 2: great game Poka Nkua from BYU ten catchers for one

193
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 2: nineteen Mitchell. Seattle was missing a few guys. They were

194
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 2: missing their their number five pick, Devin Witherspoon. They're missing

195
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 2: Jamal Adams. But at the end of the day, this team,

196
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 2: this Rams team is at bottom five roster in the

197
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 2: National Football League. It is hard for anybody to debate

198
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 2: that'll argue it outside of Matt Stafford, Cooper Cup, Aaron Donald.

199
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 2: You know, I mean, I guess too to at Well. Now.

200
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 2: You know, they may have a couple more guys that

201
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 2: can play, but they're not expected to win a lot

202
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 2: of games. So for them to go into Seattle in

203
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 2: week one and beat them by seventeen points and hold

204
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 2: their offense with Geno Smith coming off a Pro Bowl season.

205
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 2: All the things they do well. Three really good receivers Jackson,

206
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 2: Smith and Jig but are supposed to come in here

207
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 2: and make an immediate impact. You still got DK, Tyler Lockett.

208
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 2: They all they start to drop drump like flies, Mitchell,

209
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 2: JSN goes down, Lockett goes out with concussion symptoms, and

210
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 2: then it's just DK out there. And they held them, Mitchell.

211
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 2: They held them to twelve yards in the second half,

212
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 2: total twelve yards, like with your boy K nine in

213
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 2: the backfield and everything. Twelve yards. It was just it's

214
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 2: hard to explain. It's hard for me to come up

215
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 2: with the answers for the fans and say, hey, this

216
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 2: is what they need to do better. This is what

217
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 2: they need to do better. I mean, they gotta play defense.

218
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 2: They made it look they made it too easy. But

219
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 2: I told you, Matt Stafford, without any expectations, without any burden,

220
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 2: without any pressure, is a dangerous player. Mitchell. He's a

221
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 2: dangerous player. He does not care. He'll side arm it,

222
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 2: he'll throw it over the top, he'll bomb you, he'll

223
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 2: throw it underneath. He does not care. He's a risk taker,

224
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 2: he's a He's the epitome of a gunslinger, and that's

225
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 2: what they saw. He threw for three thirty four on

226
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 2: twenty four, twenty four for thirty eight foot three thirty four,

227
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 2: no touchdowns, but they rushed it well. They ran a

228
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 2: rail when they got into the red zone. Seattle got

229
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,719
Speaker 2: gotta look themselves in the mirror and answer some hard

230
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 2: question because defensively, that's where they gotta They gotta be better. Offensively, clearly,

231
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 2: they got to be better, and I think they will.

232
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 2: But defensively that was that was, that was unacceptable. Football

233
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 2: is back. No more preseason games. The regular season is here.

234
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,320

250
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 2: Rich.

251
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,719
Speaker 1: I tell you, hey, the Rams are going to beat

252
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks thirty to thirteen on the Seattle Seahawks home turf.

253
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: What would your reaction be to me, Mitchell?

254
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 2: I would call the value and send somebody to your

255
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 2: house to drug test you immediately. Mitchell, I need to

256
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 2: know what you're on because I don't need any of it,

257
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 2: because that is ridiculous. That's what I would have said, Mitchell.

258
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 2: And what happened was what happened. You know. DK Metcalf

259
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 2: was having a really good game in the first half.

260
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 2: He looks smooth, had a really cool touchdown. It looked

261
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 2: like Seattle was just hey, they're warming up there, they're

262
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 2: coming into their own and they're gonna get going. And

263
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 2: the wheels just fell off the bus. I mean the

264
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 2: bus just fell off the bus. I mean the wheels,

265
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 2: the axles, I mean the chassis.

266
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: Good night, Oh, Richard, I hate to say this, and

267
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks fans, I'm speaking directly to you right now.

268
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: I hate to say this to you, but it gets

269
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: no easier. It gets no easier. Next week you're coming.

270
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: You're coming to me, Rich You guys are coming to me.

271
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: You're flying out to Detroit. You're playing in an eastern

272
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: time zone. Rich You know, you know your body clock

273
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: doesn't adjust in one day. You're coming to ford Field

274
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: for the Lions home opener, fresh off a Kansas Kansas

275
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: City Chief away game victory. You know Ford Field is

276
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: going to be hype. Rich is zero win two in

277
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: the future for the Seattle Seahawk team.

278
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 2: Right now, I can't see thet I'm not gonna give

279
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 2: them that Mitchell trap game now, Mitchell, it's a trap

280
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 2: game for Detroit. You know, they never thought they'd come

281
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 2: into week two in the trap game. But I think

282
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 2: they'll make up for what they did. You know, they'll

283
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 2: correct some things. Uh, the offensive line will play better,

284
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 2: defensive line will play better. Secondary has to clean up

285
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 2: some things. You know. I'm sure Clint hurt. Uh, it's

286
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 2: gonna look at the tape and and kind of find

287
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 2: what what didn't work, what did work, and clean it

288
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 2: up as best they can. But there aren't any easy

289
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 2: answers for that. There aren't any easy answers. You're you're

290
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 2: not going to play a worst roster team. You know

291
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 2: Stafford's a good quarterback, so you can say quarterback play

292
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 2: can be you know, you can find worst quarterbacks in

293
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 2: league to Matt Stafford and how he played, but Jared

294
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 2: Golf is at one of them.

295
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: Well, before we leave that game, all your fantasy football

296
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: players out there, I can guarantee Poka Nakua is going

297
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: to be a hot name on that waiver whar we're

298
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: going into Monday and Tuesday. Let's move on to Denver.

299
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: We talked about him a lot last year. You know,

300
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: obviously a new situation. Sean Payton takes over there. They

301
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: come out of the gates right away on sidekick. All's

302
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: looking good with the Denver Broncos to a degree. Midway

303
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: through that game and they lose. I mean, we talked

304
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: about it off air. What are your expectations rich about

305
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: this new marriage between Russell Wilson and Sean Payton going

306
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: on to one in week one?

307
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 2: Soon as it happened, Mitchell as soon as that onside

308
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 2: kick happened and they had success, and then a penalty

309
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 2: the gated it. I text Ryan Fitzpatrick and Andrew Whitworth

310
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 2: and I said, that's gonna be symbolic of this game,

311
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 2: because it looked like it was going to work, Mitchell,

312
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 2: and then it didn't. It looked like it happened and

313
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 2: then it didn't. And not that Russell played bad. Russell

314
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 2: didn't play bad at all. They ran the ball well.

315
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 2: Javonte Williams looked really good, and you can't you can't

316
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 2: argue that Samaj paren looked like I mean, they looked

317
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 2: like a great one two punch. They were. I think

318
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 2: Samaj Parene averaged five yards to carry. Javonte Williams average

319
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 2: four point one. And Russell was really efficient. Russell was

320
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 2: really efficient. He was He was twenty four for I

321
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 2: mean twenty seven for thirty four, but for only one

322
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy seven yards. That's when it starts to

323
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 2: get concerned. He Mitchell. It's like, all right, twenty seven

324
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 2: for thirty four. You're expecting at least two hundred yards,

325
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 2: at least two hundy yards. You gotta give me two

326
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 2: hundred yards. But when you're only averaging four point six

327
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 2: yards per pass per completion, Mitchell, You're not gonna win

328
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 2: a lot of ball games like that. That's what the

329
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 2: game of the game, and that's Russell Wilson's game and

330
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 2: that's been his game. So that's where you say, hey,

331
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 2: you can see Sean Payton working on Russ and rush

332
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 2: Russ kind of you know, the merits. You can see

333
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,959
Speaker 2: where it's coming together really well. There are some passes

334
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 2: in there where you're like, man, Russ hit his back foot,

335
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 2: got the ball out, hit his back foot, make making

336
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 2: really fast decisions, being really efficient with the football. But

337
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 2: then you say, well, what makes Russ special? You're like,

338
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 2: the you know, the uncharacteristic off schedule plays, the bombs.

339
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 2: You know, Russell Wilson is good for at least one

340
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 2: bomb a game, one fifty yard or forty five yard bomb.

341
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 2: You know, whether it's supposed to go route something a

342
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:48,919
Speaker 2: deep over hen to the other side of the field,

343
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 2: and you just didn't see those, and you're like, was

344
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 2: it the offensive line that was holding it back or

345
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 2: was it was it the fear of you know, because

346
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 2: Las Vegas, I mean they have Max Crosby and he's

347
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 2: a really good pass rusher, but they don't have a

348
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 2: ton of pass rush, so you're not thinking he's getting pressured.

349
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 2: Then you're like, hey, maybe it's the receivers. But he

350
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 2: was making it work with the receivers he had. And

351
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 2: then Jimmy G Mitchell, Jimmy G. Jimmy G. Jimmy G,

352
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 2: Jimmy G and Josh McDaniels are a match made for

353
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 2: each other, for each other. They did well in New

354
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 2: England when Jimmy G had to play when Tom got hurt,

355
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 2: and Jimmy G played really well. And he's still playing

356
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 2: really well within this scheme. And this time he has

357
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 2: Davante Adams and Jacoby Myers and they both played really well.

358
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 2: He was connecting with Jacoby Myers for two touchdowns, all

359
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 2: the crucial third down. You got to give all the

360
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 2: credit in the world to the guy on the other side.

361
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 2: Patrick certain was strapping. He was strapping, and I'm sure

362
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 2: Davante would say the same. It was no luck, it

363
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 2: was no hey, well he's holding. He was doing this.

364
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 2: He was playing off foot was great, footwork was great.

365
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 2: He was following left right. You know, there were times

366
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 2: they were running zone and Davonte would go inside, and

367
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,439
Speaker 2: you know, you can't just make up your own coverage.

368
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,199
Speaker 2: Patrick's was tanning. You can't just go in there when

369
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 2: his own coverage and you don't have to, that's not

370
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 2: your aslignment. But anytime he could line up across from him,

371
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 2: he did and he played really well. But still Davante

372
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 2: had six catches for sixty six yards. Davante Adam is

373
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 2: going to continue to beat Devonte Adams, obviously, but with

374
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 2: Jimmy G and his efficiency. Jimmy G is an efficient

375
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 2: quarterback and I know he threw the interception in the

376
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 2: red zone. He was trying to give his team a chance.

377
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 2: It was doing too much. Kareem Jackson made an amazing

378
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 2: play ball got tipped in the air. Without that, it

379
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 2: would have been a great game for Jimmy G. Max

380
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 2: Crosby doing what he does got a sack. But my

381
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 2: concern is that last year, one thing that Denver could

382
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 2: hang their hats on was their defense. They could hang

383
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 2: their hats on it. Mitchell, they won a ten eleven

384
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 2: ball game against the San Francisco forty nine ers early

385
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 2: in the season. Mitchell, they had a couple of ten

386
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 2: to nine ball games and things like that where they

387
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 2: held the team to under ten points and under fifteen

388
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 2: points and things like that. And right now now, the

389
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 2: Raiders weren't expected to do a ton. You know, the

390
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,199
Speaker 2: Raiders aren't. Aren't the Chargers in their offense. You know,

391
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 2: Justin Herbert. We just watched what they did with Justin

392
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 2: Herbert and and Mike Williams and Austin Eckler, and you know,

393
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 2: they're they're gonna give them problems. And then you started

394
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 2: Kansas City Chiefs. They're gonna have Travis Kelcey for that game.

395
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 2: And so that's where you're concerned. Is that that defense

396
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 2: that's that they've been able to rely on so heavily

397
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 2: in the past, isn't showing up in the way that

398
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 2: they're used to. And I don't know what the problem

399
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 2: is right there. They did a great job stopping the run,

400
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 2: but there were some big plays to be had out there,

401
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 2: and Jimmy G. Jimmy G had them. And the next

402
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 2: week the Broncos played the Commanders, who were coming off

403
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 2: a win, and they look sloppy in that game, so

404
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 2: they could potentially get a win there. But the Raiders

405
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 2: are playing the Bills, and that's gonna be a wake

406
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 2: up call.

407
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: Well, well that's the thing too, Rich, I mean the

408
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: Broncos coming into the season, new season, let's put the

409
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: last let's put last season behind us, right. I mean,

410
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: there's more hope in Denver this year, you know, new

411
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 1: coaching staff, you know, hoping that they can figure out

412
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 1: this whole Russell Wilson situation. And then you start this

413
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: game out. The Raiders were regarded as I don't want

414
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: to put the bottom of the barrel of the league,

415
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: but certainly lower tier than most, I mean, below average

416
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: team in the NFL. They come out, they beat you

417
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: on your home turf. If they go out and lose

418
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: to the Washington Commanders next week, I mean, Richard, this

419
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: could be last year all over again. And I don't

420
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: want to pile on to Russ by any means. Like

421
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,199
Speaker 1: you said, he had an efficient game to a degree.

422
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,120
Speaker 1: He didn't take many shots down field. But like, at

423
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: what point this is Denver fan base just give up

424
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: on the guy? Like it could get ugly quick, Rich,

425
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: if they don't, If they don't get to winning, and

426
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: that's the big thing, Winning cures all. They got to

427
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 1: get to winning quick.

428
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 2: They have to. They have to, and this the thing

429
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 2: that makes this thing a little bit more as it's

430
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 2: a vision game that you lost at home to to

431
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 2: what most people would consider the worst team in your division.

432
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 2: And so if you lose your first game, so what

433
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 2: people think is the worst team in your vision obty,

434
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 2: clearly they're not. They won this game and they look

435
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 2: a lot better than they did last year. Josh Jacobs's back,

436
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 2: but he'll have to get more more touches and and

437
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 2: get more in sync. But it's a lot of concern.

438
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 2: You know, they have to go into the the to

439
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 2: that Washington game very focused because it could get real bad.

440
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,199
Speaker 2: It could get you know, Sean Payton is gonna have

441
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 2: to answer some uncomfortable questions if they find don't find

442
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 2: a way to win that game in Washington. But there's

443
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 2: still hope right now, there's still hope. I mean there

444
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 2: the offense looked really good at times. They moved the

445
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 2: ball really efficiently. Uh they got away with some things

446
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,439
Speaker 2: and you know, some of the players got negated. There

447
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 2: was a long pass interference on the long ball to

448
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 2: to Suddon that could have been a big play, but

449
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 2: it looked a little overthrown. But it was a pass

450
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 2: interference and those don't don't count against the receiving yards.

451
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 2: So for all intents and purposes, it was a solid

452
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 2: game for Russell and hopefully he can build on that.

453
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 2: But it's just uncharacteristic not to see him take shots

454
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 2: down the field and at least have one or two

455
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 2: of those big plays. But Mitchell, there was a shootout

456
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 2: in LA.

457
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: Was there? Ever? Rich, And we got some fun this

458
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 1: week for you guys. We got a brand new segment

459
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,679
Speaker 1: to introduce, brought to you by our friends at Morgan

460
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 1: and Morgan, the Making It Look Easy segment this week,

461
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 1: Rich Morgan and Morgan, America's largest injury law firm. This week,

462
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: Richard Tua made it look real easy out there, going

463
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 1: twenty eight for forty five. Throw him for four sixty

464
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: six and three tuddies. I did not stutter, Rich. That

465
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: was not two games. That was one singular game, four

466
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty six yards and three touchdowns for the Dolphins.

467
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,120
Speaker 1: Your thoughts on Tua's performance today.

468
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 2: Mitchell, there was something said because they asked toa And

469
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 2: you know, these kids try their best not to make

470
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 2: it personal and not to get into like the nuances

471
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,479
Speaker 2: of these rivalries and personal player against player stuff. So

472
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 2: Tua tried to stay away from the Tua Herbert comparisons.

473
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 2: You know, there was so much whispering and yelling sometimes

474
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 2: about how the Miami Dolphins should have picked Justin Herbert

475
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 2: and how they regret now picking Justin Herbert, how Tua

476
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 2: wasn't the guy. And you know what Tua did, Mitchell.

477
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,479
Speaker 2: He got on the field with him and he doubled

478
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 2: him up Mitchell, And which what do I mean by

479
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 2: double him up? He doubled up his stats, Mitchell. Justin

480
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 2: Herbert played a pretty good game twenty three for thirty

481
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 2: three for two twenty eight and a touchdown. But that's

482
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 2: not for sixty six, Mitchell. That is not for sixty six.

483
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 2: That is not three touchdowns. Mitchell and Tua and Tyreek

484
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,360
Speaker 2: were out there playing backyard. Tyreek went for two fifteen

485
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 2: two one hundred and fifteen yards. Brandon Staley is supposed

486
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 2: to be a defensive mastermind. He's not one these offensive

487
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 2: coaches where you're like, hey, they're going to score a

488
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 2: lot of points. That's why they hired Kellen Moore. Kellen

489
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 2: Moore did a great job. They scored thirty four points.

490
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 2: They moved the ball Eckler played well, Joshua Kelly played well.

491
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 2: But you looked up and you're like, wait, they have

492
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 2: all this talent on the Chargers defense. You talk about

493
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 2: Joey Bosa, Khalil Mack, you talk about j. C. Jackson.

494
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 2: There is so much talent, A Sante, Samuel Junior, Derwin James,

495
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 2: you know, the All Pro one of the best safeties

496
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 2: National Football League. You all this talent, and you just

497
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 2: can't seem to stop people four hundred and sixty six

498
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 2: yards and that is just passing the football metro over

499
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 2: five hundred yards of offense against a really talented defense.

500
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 2: So then you start to question is it the scheme,

501
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 2: Like what are they doing with this talent? Why can't

502
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 2: they put these guys in position to be successful? Year

503
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 2: after year? Every year you hear about how great this

504
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 2: defense should be on paper, and they should be because

505
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 2: it's so much talent j C. Jackson, And then you think,

506
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 2: in this game particular, JC Jackson had a costly mistake

507
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 2: right before the half, just a blunder where he pushes

508
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 2: the receiver on a play gets a PI and they

509
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 2: get a lucky three points right before the half, and

510
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 2: they lose by two so I know in the field

511
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 2: room they're gonna be talking about that. And J. C.

512
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 2: Jackson gets an interception in the game. Had some really

513
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 2: good plays, but that's a play you can't have. And

514
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:29,479
Speaker 2: I just I'm just baffled right now by this Chargers defense.

515
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 2: I don't know why. I don't know why they're giving

516
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 2: up so many points. Tour is a really great player.

517
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 2: Tyreek's a great player. But you can double people, Mitchell

518
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 2: is the National Football League. You find a way to

519
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 2: get people. Start at least one guy. If it's just

520
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 2: one guy killing you, Mitchell, you can find the answers

521
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 2: for him. You double him, you're bracking him. Shoot with

522
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 2: your boy, Calvin. They used to put vice on him,

523
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 2: like putt return advice, whatever it takes to get the

524
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 2: guys stop. But you don't let a guy go for

525
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 2: two fifteen.

526
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: They got weapons out there in Miami, rich They got

527
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: a lot of them. And shout out the TUA the

528
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: winner of our recipient of our making Look easy nominee.

529
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: I Guess of the Week, brought to you by Morgan

530
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:07,959
Speaker 1: and Morgan.

531
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 2: If you're ever injured, go to for Thepeople dot Com.

532
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 2: Slash Sherman Ordal Pound that's five to nine on your

533
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 2: cell phone to check out America's largest injury law firm.

534
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 2: Winning in the NFL is hard, but hiring Morgan and

535
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 2: Morgan is easy. But Mitchell, he was making it look

536
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 2: too easy. And nobody else had more than four catches,

537
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 2: So they got to figure that out.

538
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 1: They do. Rich, I have to say this. I mean,

539
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: I don't want to get too far ahead in the podcast,

540
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 1: but I got a good feeling the Miami Dolphins are

541
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 1: going to squeeze their way into the top five of

542
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: your power ranks, because, by God, you go on the

543
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 1: road week one. The LA Chargers are a good team. Rich,

544
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,360
Speaker 1: Let's not let's not just dismiss them, because this LA

545
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 1: Charger team for one time and the last year plus

546
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 1: is fully healthy. I mean, I know Mike Williams got

547
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: hit pretty hard over the middle there, but they are

548
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: fully healthy and they played a pretty darn good game.

549
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins go on the row week one. Huge performance

550
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,880
Speaker 1: out of Tua, huge performance out of Tyreek. They got

551
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 1: weapons all over the field once they get their running

552
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:19,680
Speaker 1: back court healthy. I'm speaking from me, from Mitche Eisenstein personally,

553
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. You might have picked the wrong team in

554
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 1: the AFC East. Rich I got a sneaky suspicion this

555
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 1: Dolphin team is gonna be messing around for a while.

556
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 2: They'll be messing around Mitchell. But the j e Ts Jets,

557
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 2: Jets Jets have a defense that can play Mitchell. They

558
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 2: have people that actually stop people. You know, we talk

559
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 2: about we could talk about the two games that Tarrek

560
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 2: played against Sauce Gardner, Sauce and Red. You know what

561
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 2: I mean. We don't want to get We don't want

562
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 2: to talk about them having a lead versus Sauston Reid.

563
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 2: We don't want to tell talk about what they can

564
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 2: achieve when they play Sauce and Reed. But whatever, Mitchell,

565
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna go there. We can talk about the

566
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 2: Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears. Jordan Love, Mitchell

567
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 2: I did not have a lot of faith in Jordan

568
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 2: Love and I'm still I'm still on the fence. He

569
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 2: played a great game though, got to give him all

570
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 2: the credit in the world. Fifteen for twenty seven, two

571
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 2: forty five, three touchdowns, one hundred and twenty three point

572
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 2: two passer rating. That's that. I mean, that's a fantastic

573
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 2: game for anybody and Aaron Jones continuing to do what

574
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:23,479
Speaker 2: he's always done. Nine rushes for forty one yards, a TD,

575
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 2: two receptions eighty eight yards and the tv uh. But

576
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 2: he got a little banged up at the end. So

577
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 2: that's that's concerning. Their defense played really, really well, was

578
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 2: very disruptive. Deavonte Wyatt a sack and a half kway

579
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 2: Walker who they picked up with a pick six. And

580
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 2: then it's just got to be concerning for the Bears.

581
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 2: That offensive line looked poorous at times. I mean there

582
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 2: was pressure all over the place in Justin Field's face.

583
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 2: He was twenty four for thirty seven but two hundred

584
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 2: and sixteen yards. He had a touchdown, but he threw

585
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 2: an interception. He ran the ball for fifty nine yards

586
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 2: on nine carries, but he lost crucial fumble. I just

587
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 2: don't know what to make of them, you know, But

588
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 2: the Packers got you got more time to develop. They're

589
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,719
Speaker 2: playing the Falcons this week, who are coming off a

590
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 2: huge win. But John Robinson looks like the real deal.

591
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 2: But that should be another good test for him. The

592
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 2: Bears are at the Bucks and the Bucks Mitchell the Bucks.

593
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, before you leave this game, I live in NFC

594
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: North Country over here. You know, it's well chronicled. We've

595
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: had to endure as a Detroit Lion fan. We've had

596
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: to endure Brett Favre, We've had to endure the immediate

597
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:40,479
Speaker 1: turnover to Aaron Rodgers. And now we're all happy over

598
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 1: here because we don't have to deal with the of

599
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: those two. But now there's Jordan Love. And I got folks,

600
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: I got friends texting me, Packers fans texting me, Hey,

601
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: we got another one, Mitchell. I will say this, and

602
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: I mean, Jordan Love, good game today, you know, solid

603
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: and fifteen completions. What they do? You know, reality is

604
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: it's the perfect Week one opponent for him. Let's not

605
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: forget last year. The Chicago Bears finished the NFL with

606
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: the worst record in the league. For a reason. They

607
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: were the worst team in the league, and there was

608
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 1: a lot of hype around them going into the season,

609
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: the potential worst, the first candidate. Well, I got news

610
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: for you, my friends down in Chicago Land, You're gonna stay.

611
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: You're going to stay in the worst dweller because this

612
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:30,719
Speaker 1: team was fumbling the ball. They did not explosive plays.

613
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: I didn't see any of them. I mean I don't

614
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: know whether to make more of Jordan Love's performance in

615
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers performance or more of the Chicago

616
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 1: Bears just sheer poor performance. And Richard I'm kind of

617
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: in the middle of the two of them right now.

618
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 2: I can't figure it out and we'll need more time.

619
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 2: But you got to give Jordan Love credit for you know,

620
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 2: the opponent. They stepped out there, they were in front

621
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 2: of him. He went in there and he shredded them.

622
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 2: He shredded them, you know. I mean, fifteen passes doesn't

623
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:58,719
Speaker 2: seem like a lot, but he threw for two forty five.

624
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 2: Were we're just talking about Russell will Send completing twenty

625
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 2: seven passes for only one hundred and seventy seven yards

626
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 2: and two touchdowns. This guy through for two forty five

627
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 2: on less completions. So the yards per play, yards per

628
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 2: pass are greater, but it's just a lot up in

629
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 2: the air. I'm not ready to put them into power

630
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 2: rankings at all. Their defense played really well, so you

631
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 2: got to give them, give them all credit in the world.

632
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 2: They scored. Packers scored on their opening drive. They hadn't

633
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 2: scored on the opening drive one time the whole season

634
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 2: last year, so that's improvement. But we'll see, we'll see

635
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 2: how they do, how they do going forward. But he

636
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,959
Speaker 2: looks good. He looks good. I'm sure Packers fans are

637
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 2: feeling very good and optimistic going forward. They think they

638
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 2: got another one. But we will see it as a

639
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 2: long season in National Football League.

640
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: Well, we're talking about the NFC North, so let's stay

641
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: in the NFC North. Minnesota, and we talked about it.

642
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 1: We talked about it earlier last week. Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

643
00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: Everyone's sleeping on them. Rich Yep, everyone is sleeping on him.

644
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: Tom Brady retires, Baker Mayfield comes in. I mean, is

645
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 1: they got the same players over there, just new quarterback,

646
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 1: and sure as heck, Baker Mayfield comes in gets it done.

647
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 1: It wasn't always pretty, but by god, they got the w.

648
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: Is this more to do with Tampa Bay in their

649
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: performance or is it more to do with the reality

650
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: what's going on in Minnesota. They let Dalvin Cook go,

651
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: they let a lot of players on the defensive side

652
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: of the ball go. What do you make of this loss?

653
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: Because Minnesota was winning these games every time last year.

654
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 1: One possession game, one loss in twenty twenty three for

655
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 1: the Minnesota vakings your thoughts.

656
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 2: Football is one of those games, Mitchell. The ball does

657
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 2: not always bounce your way. So what protects you when

658
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 2: it doesn't bounce your way is fundamental's efficiency being EXEQ

659
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 2: XQ nextcuting. They did not EXQ down the stretch, and

660
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 2: a lot of this blame is gonna fall on Kirk Cousins,

661
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 2: but I don't think it's deserved. I don't think is deserved.

662
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 2: I think Kirk Cousins went thirty three for forty four

663
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:07,959
Speaker 2: for three forty four, two touchdowns. Hit Justin Jefferson on

664
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 2: a ton of plays, Jordan Addison on some big plays.

665
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 2: He did a great job. Daniel Hunter had a sack.

666
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 2: But you're playing against Mike Evans and Baker Mayfield hasn't

667
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 2: had a six to five receiver that you just put

668
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 2: it in his vicinity and he's gonna catch touchdown. Mike

669
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:26,319
Speaker 2: Evans has had a thousand yards regardless of who's throwing

670
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 2: the football, and he's gonna have a thousand yards this year.

671
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 2: And I think that Baker was just poised. Todd Bowles

672
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 2: has a great scheme, but I could say Kirk dissected

673
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 2: that scheme. I don't think the defense for the Minnesota

674
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 2: Vikings showed up in a way that they needed him

675
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:44,319
Speaker 2: to today. You know, they only gave up twenty points,

676
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 2: but that's twenty points. And justin Jefferson's twenty fifth game

677
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 2: with one hundred plus receiving yards, which is fantastic. But

678
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 2: when he has over one hundred and fifty receiving yards,

679
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 2: the team is only four and five, which is weird.

680
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 2: I don't understand that they're four and five when he

681
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,320
Speaker 2: goes when he goes off, which ain't his fault. He

682
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 2: keep going off, but they need to figure out what

683
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,280
Speaker 2: else is going on that they need to get fixed.

684
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 2: But it's huge for the Bucks is confidence because just

685
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 2: like the Rams and people other people not giving them

686
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 2: a chance, they're out there playing well. They're executing. Chris

687
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 2: Godwin's a really good receiver. Mike Evans is a really

688
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 2: good receiver. So they're there. Baker Mayfield isn't just out

689
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 2: there with with janitors and and and and you know,

690
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 2: chefs from down the street and bartenders. He's not. He's

691
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,359
Speaker 2: out there with real quality receivers. And that's what they did.

692
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 2: They went out there and executed. We talked about David

693
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,359
Speaker 2: Kanali's their new office coordinator who came from Seattle, knows

694
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 2: how to get the best out of his quarterback, knows

695
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 2: how to do what needs to be done. You know,

696
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 2: just take what the defense gives them. And Baker played

697
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:45,839
Speaker 2: a solid game twenty one of thirty four for one

698
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 2: to seventy three and two touchdowns with no interceptions. But

699
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 2: it's just a solid game. You're not You're not sitting here.

700
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 2: I'm not sitting here, you know, calling home, riting home

701
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 2: about how Baker Mayfield threw for one to seventy three

702
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 2: and two touchdowns. And that's similar stats toward Russ Wilson

703
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 2: had for Denver, but they didn't get to win. And

704
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 2: so the difference maker was the turnover for Kirk Cousins,

705
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 2: the interception. That's it. Mitchell. Antoine Winfield Junior also had

706
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 2: a turnover. They forced two fumbles for They forced two

707
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 2: fumbles and got them both. Kirk Cousins own sacks, so

708
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 2: that offensive line for the Minnesota Vikings needs to be

709
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 2: fixed as well. Antoine Winfield Junior went to a place

710
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 2: where his dad played for a number of year years,

711
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,760
Speaker 2: a place that he was raised in, and had a strip,

712
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 2: forced fumble, fumble recoverer, fumble, recovery trifecta. Mitchell, it was

713
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:36,919
Speaker 2: fun to watch.

714
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,760
Speaker 1: Not to mention, he's a former Minnesota Golden golfer as well,

715
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 1: so you know he's got some fans in that stands

716
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 1: as well, and might be tough to root against him

717
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 1: when he's doing that against your team, but I'm sure

718
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,800
Speaker 1: they were, Richard. The crazy stat of this game, I

719
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: guess overall is Justin Jefferson another one hundred and fifty

720
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: yard plus performance. But they are four and five in

721
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 1: those games. So Richard, they need a running game, and

722
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 1: without Dalvin Cook seventeen rushes forty one yards, they're gonna

723
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 1: have to fix that really really quick in order to

724
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 1: be competitive in this NFC North against my Detroit Lions too, Richie,

725
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: come on now.

726
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 2: Yeh, they better get it fixed past because Detroit is

727
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 2: going to be Roland, Mitchell. Detroit has Seattle, and that

728
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 2: that game goes Detroit's way and their two and oh

729
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:24,280
Speaker 2: they start to get away from him. In this division,

730
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,320
Speaker 2: it starts to get really weird. Mitchell.

731
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: Let's look at the surprise of the day, potentially. Rich

732
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 1: Let's go to Cleveland. We haven't talked about Cleveland. We

733
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 1: talked about to Cleveland. Mitchell. We never talk about Cleveland,

734
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 1: but we're going to talk about them right now because

735
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 1: they earned it.

736
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 2: They did her.

737
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: Twenty four to three, Rich, Joe Burrow, highest paid player

738
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:49,319
Speaker 1: in NFL history, looked like he probably should have been

739
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 1: the lowest paid player in NFL history today. Fourteen to

740
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 1: thirty one for eighty two yards.

741
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 2: I know what was done.

742
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 1: Know the conditions were suspect out there, but you got

743
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 1: a fifty two point two passer rating after getting that

744
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:06,319
Speaker 1: huge payday, I expect a lot more. How the heck

745
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,320
Speaker 1: does this happen twenty four to three, Rich.

746
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 2: I have no idea mente. It just looked bad. It

747
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 2: was the conditions, it was an offensive line. It was

748
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 2: just a terrible game. But you got to remember Joe

749
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 2: Burrow didn't play in a lot of the training camp.

750
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 2: He doesn't have the reps. He doesn't have the reps.

751
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 2: And the quarterback is probably the main position that you

752
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 2: have to have the reps. You have to get your footwork,

753
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 2: you have to have the pressure in your face and

754
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 2: move around and go through your reads. Go through your reads,

755
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:32,359
Speaker 2: get the speed of the game, speed of the game,

756
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 2: speed of the game, and it just looked like the

757
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:36,280
Speaker 2: game was moving too fast for him. It was probably

758
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,800
Speaker 2: the first time in his career where it looked like

759
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 2: the game was too fast for Joe Burrow. And he

760
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 2: had the career low eighty two passing yards fourteen to

761
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 2: thirty two fifty two point two passer rating, a career

762
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 2: low only took two sets. But then you got Jamar

763
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 2: Chase because he still has these elite receivers, Jamar Chase

764
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 2: and T Higgins and Tyler Boyd, and Jamar Chase had

765
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 2: five catches for thirty nine yards. I wasn't a lot

766
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 2: of yards to go around, but yeah, you just it's

767
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 2: mind boggling. You know, I had him as a as

768
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 2: an MVP candidate this year, and obviously you're not going

769
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 2: to get it done doing that. The conditions were the conditions,

770
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 2: But Deshaun Watson still went sixteen to twenty nine for

771
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 2: one fifty four through an interception and a TD. But

772
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:21,240
Speaker 2: they still found ways to get it done. They couldn't.

773
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:25,359
Speaker 2: Joe Mixon was non existent, so the Kansas City chief,

774
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 2: I mean, the Cincinnati Bengals couldn't lean on their run

775
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,839
Speaker 2: game like the Browns did. The Browns leaned on Nick Chubb,

776
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:33,239
Speaker 2: who's been voted the best running back of the National

777
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 2: Football League. Eighteen carries for one zh six and a touchdown,

778
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 2: four receptions, and then Miles Garrett showed up in a

779
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 2: big way when they needed him. Big sacks, a lot

780
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 2: of pressure on the quarterback, and it just never looked

781
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 2: like Cincinnati had a chance. Deshaun Watson ran for a touchdown,

782
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 2: but he didn't look like he played particularly well. But

783
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:54,839
Speaker 2: it looks like the Browns have the Bengals number. They

784
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 2: beat him six of the last seven. Like, there aren't

785
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:00,359
Speaker 2: many teams, and the Bengals have had really good teams.

786
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 2: They've been in today AFC Championship to it the last

787
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 2: three years, so it's not like these teams are just

788
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,319
Speaker 2: you know, running the meal teams. He's a really good team.

789
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 2: So I think it's a big confidence booster for the

790
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns. But I mean it's a it's a head

791
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 2: scratcher for the Bengals.

792
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 1: It is a head scratcher. I mean you touched on

793
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:20,400
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb. I mean I feel like he doesn't get

794
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 1: enough love. I mean, there's a guy, truthfully, rich, offensively,

795
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 1: he is, he is their guy. But you don't hear

796
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: his name a whole lot on a national you know perspective,

797
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: But he certainly deserves it. I mean, as you touched on,

798
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 1: I know, NFL personnel and players and coaches and GMS

799
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 1: all voted him the number one best best running back

800
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 1: in the league, and he certainly deserved it. After today's performance,

801
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 1: a team rushes one hundred and six yards really set

802
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 1: the tone for their team, Richard. They look like they

803
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 1: have developed an identity defensively. Miles Garrett is a beast.

804
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you want to talk about a defensive Player

805
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 1: of the Year candidate, there's one in Cleveland right there,

806
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:04,439
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett. You know, they address a lot of needs

807
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 1: in the offseason. This one is a huge shocker to

808
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 1: me and I would assume the NFL landscape. But does

809
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,879
Speaker 1: it change your perception of the Cleveland Browns going forward

810
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 1: the rest of this year? Do you think that they

811
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 1: could be a contender in this division and in the AFC?

812
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 2: Well, well, Jim Schwartz was another addition that they picked up.

813
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 2: You know somebody I'm sure you're familiar with. Sure, Jim

814
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:29,319
Speaker 2: Schwartz has this defense playing really well. It doesn't seem

815
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 2: like they're running a different scheme than what Joe Woods

816
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 2: was running with them last year. It just seems like

817
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 2: the players are executing it a lot better. They're in

818
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:37,800
Speaker 2: the hooks, theyre being where they're supposed to be. The

819
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 2: corners are are tighter in coverage. They've always had Dinnzale Award,

820
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 2: who's one of the top paid corners, one of the

821
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 2: best corners in the National Football League. But it just

822
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 2: seems like they're executing. They're inspired. I don't know if

823
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:50,760
Speaker 2: this is just early in the season, but they're playing fast,

824
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 2: they're running there, hitting. It's fun to watch, but it's

825
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 2: not fun to watch if you're a Cincinnati Bengals fan

826
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:58,360
Speaker 2: because there aren't many answers out there for you.

827
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,760
Speaker 1: Well, we're not going to go too far from Cleveland.

828
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:05,360
Speaker 1: Let's stray a little bit. What are we going a

829
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 1: little west to Indianapolis. I don't want I did not

830
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,759
Speaker 1: think of much of the Indianapolis Colts. A lot of

831
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 1: people questioned Anthony richardson coming into the draft. They thought

832
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 1: he was, you know, all hype, no production. He looked

833
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 1: pretty good today, I mean Richard, he had a pretty

834
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 1: good debut and they gave the Jaguars some trouble but

835
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 1: ultimately the Jaggs come out on top. But there's a

836
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 1: bigger story developing in Indy because if they have a quarterback,

837
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 1: what do they need to compliment a young quarterback.

838
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:38,880
Speaker 2: Rich Mitchell? A running game, Mitchell. The best, the best

839
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 2: cushion and security blanket for young quarterback is a running game.

840
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 2: And a great running back gives you a great running back,

841
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 2: I mean great running game. And you know where the

842
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,759
Speaker 2: Indianapolis Colts can find a great running back Mitchell? You

843
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 2: know they could potentially.

844
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:57,359
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think I gotta think about this, Yeah,

845
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 1: I gotta think about this a little bit. Rich. I'm

846
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:02,800
Speaker 1: pretty sure they have one on the roster, right that's healthy.

847
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 1: What's his name again? I can't. I can't remember his name.

848
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor Mitchell, Mitchell, that's it.

849
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 1: Okay, yep, yep, they got it.

850
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 2: They decided, Jim Ersay, Jim Irsay decided, I'm gonna be

851
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 2: a selfish owner and I'm gonna punish one of my

852
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 2: best players because he asks for a raise, and I'm

853
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:24,400
Speaker 2: gonna put him on IR to show him. Hmm, I

854
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 2: run this show, not you, And you know what I'm

855
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 2: gonna do. I'm gonna make my ball club worse. We're

856
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:32,799
Speaker 2: gonna lose games because I'm a selfish owner and I'm

857
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 2: not gonna do what's best for my team. And that's

858
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:37,359
Speaker 2: that's unfortunate because you're costing you know, It's like one

859
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 2: of those plays where a guy makes a selfish play

860
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 2: in the ball game and you're like, he's costing his team, Like,

861
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:44,440
Speaker 2: why would you make such a selfish play. There's fifty

862
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 2: two other guys depending on you. Why would you do that?

863
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 2: That is what Jim Ersay is doing to fifty three guys.

864
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 2: Who he's doing to his new quarterback, who he expects

865
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:55,319
Speaker 2: so much. You're handicapping him because you're taking away one

866
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 2: of his best weapons, not because of something he did,

867
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:01,800
Speaker 2: not because the guy can't play is unavailable. Is because

868
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:04,280
Speaker 2: you want to be selfish. And that's when it's unfortunate

869
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:07,400
Speaker 2: because you're like, hmm, do you you're the owner. You

870
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:09,880
Speaker 2: would expect you to want to win as much as anybody,

871
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 2: but right now it doesn't seem that way because you

872
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 2: put your best player on ir and the team was

873
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 2: still out there competing their butts off, but I'm not there.

874
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:19,759
Speaker 2: In the back of their minds, they're saying, man, if

875
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 2: we just had JT, we might have won this game.

876
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:26,359
Speaker 1: And they easily could have. And to your point, rich

877
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:30,360
Speaker 1: Jim Irsay is saying this about literally the best player

878
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:34,280
Speaker 1: in Indieapolis, regardless of sport, by the way, the best

879
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 1: athlete and the entire city limits the entire state of Indiana, Mitchell.

880
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 2: The Colts running backs combined for sixteen carries for fifteen

881
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 2: yards on the game.

882
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 1: Richard, it is tough to recruit a free agent to

883
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 1: play football anywhere north of Georgia, right, I mean, you

884
00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 1: want to come to Cincinnati, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Detroit. It is

885
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:06,840
Speaker 1: not easy to get any top tier athlete, regardless amount

886
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 1: of money. Hey, come, sit, sit up here, play with us.

887
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to endure the cold weather during the winter.

888
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:15,720
Speaker 1: But when you got an owner like Jim Ursay who's

889
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 1: trashing the best player on the team, you Richard, you're

890
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 1: a free agent, you're in your prime of your career.

891
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 2: You can go out somewhere. I'm not going not going.

892
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 2: Nobody's going to Indianapolis. When you know your owner is

893
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,880
Speaker 2: going to make decisions like this, selfish decisions that literally

894
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:33,919
Speaker 2: hurt the team going forward. I mean you're not ready

895
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 2: to put the best product out on the field. And

896
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 2: we don't want to overshadow Anthony Richardson's performance because he's

897
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:41,880
Speaker 2: the first rookie to ever to have a passing touchdown

898
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 2: in a rushing touchdown in week one of the season.

899
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:46,839
Speaker 2: Did really well today. You know, probably took more hits

900
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:49,239
Speaker 2: than he should have. But Jim Ursay is really letting

901
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:50,799
Speaker 2: this team down. And that's all I want to say

902
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 2: about this. I don't want to keep giving him attention

903
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 2: because I want to talk about this Philly game.

904
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 1: Well, let's talk about the Philly game before we leave

905
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,799
Speaker 1: this game. Calvin Ridley shot out to Calvin really head

906
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 1: to endura season lone, the suspension, last year, injury battle,

907
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 1: eight receptions, one hundred and one yards and a tuddy

908
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:10,759
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence looked really, really good. The Jaguars, you know,

909
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:13,759
Speaker 1: they fought no one expected, really a true battle in Indy.

910
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 1: But the Jaguars, shout out to them coming out with

911
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 1: a big win. They look like a good team.

912
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:18,280
Speaker 2: Richard.

913
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:19,839
Speaker 1: Let's take it to the game. You want to talk

914
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:24,720
Speaker 1: about the Philadelphia Eagles. Shout out, big play, sligh, big place, say.

915
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 2: Shout out, shout out to big play Slay still doing

916
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 2: it at a high level, and that defense looked really good,

917
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 2: but there were some concerning moments down the stretch, and

918
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:38,880
Speaker 2: there were concerning moments on that offense. Because everybody has

919
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 2: anointed Jalen Hurts one of the best quarterbacks in the

920
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 2: National Football League, if not the best quarterback in the NFC,

921
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 2: and that's that's hardly been debated this offseason after the

922
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 2: season he had. But when he went out there this

923
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:54,320
Speaker 2: week Mitchell twenty two for thirty three for one hundred

924
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:58,319
Speaker 2: and seventy yards, one touchdown, nine carries, he fumbled the ball.

925
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:01,440
Speaker 2: It just looks like Mitchell. It did not look like

926
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 2: the same Eagles team that moved through confidently, who went

927
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 2: out there and dictated the pace. And you could say

928
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 2: they lost their offensive coordinator, they lost their defensive coordinator.

929
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 2: So that's gonna affect it going forward. You could say, Hey,

930
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 2: they're running the same scheme, and they're running the same

931
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 2: but you don't have the same guy pulling the strings.

932
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:21,760
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a different scheme. Mitchell. You lose ganning,

933
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:25,359
Speaker 2: you lose stitching, and what do you do. And they're

934
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 2: they're adjusting, but that's not the kind of performance you're

935
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 2: gonna you're expecting from Jalen Hurts, and he got his

936
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:34,400
Speaker 2: big deal AJ Brown seven catch up for seventy nine yards.

937
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 2: Not bad Jalen Carter, you know, with all the headline

938
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:40,239
Speaker 2: and all the media around him, had a sack in

939
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 2: the game, big play, Slate picked six. They held him.

940
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 2: But you look at Mac Jones stats, thirty five for

941
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 2: fifty four, that's a lot of passes. He threw for

942
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:53,400
Speaker 2: three to sixteen, three touchdowns, ninety one point three passer

943
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:57,279
Speaker 2: rating against this defense. Kendrick Bourne was having a really

944
00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 2: good game. Obviously, he had to tip pass off his

945
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 2: hands led to the Darius Lay interception. But it just

946
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:06,640
Speaker 2: did not look as dominant as it did last year.

947
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:08,560
Speaker 2: And people weren't expecting a lot from this new England

948
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:10,719
Speaker 2: Patriots team, and they had a shot to win this

949
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:12,319
Speaker 2: game at the end. They had a shot to drive

950
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:14,759
Speaker 2: the ball down the field and win this game. So

951
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:17,239
Speaker 2: you just you know, we have the Eagles next week,

952
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:19,640
Speaker 2: and I'm going to talk to Slay myself and Brad

953
00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 2: Barry and see what's going on. See it's a scheme's different.

954
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:26,360
Speaker 2: You can catch us on Amazon Prime seven pm Eastern

955
00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 2: B there are B square the Minnesota Vikings versus the

956
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 2: Philadelphia Eagles in Philly. It's gonna be a fun game.

957
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 2: We'll have all the fixes.

958
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:38,800
Speaker 1: Before that game and we'll talk about it.

959
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 2: Rich.

960
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 1: But the Eagles, they get out to a hot start,

961
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 1: they go have sixteen and nothing right out the gates,

962
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:50,400
Speaker 1: and like you said, the end result was a bit underwhelming.

963
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 1: They very well could have lost that game. There's some

964
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:57,000
Speaker 1: question marks going into this next Thursday game. Who is

965
00:48:57,160 --> 00:49:00,160
Speaker 1: this game more important for the Eagles to write this

966
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:05,279
Speaker 1: suspect New England game or the Minnesota Vikings who need

967
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 1: a win.

968
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 2: Rich, I mean it's definitely the Philadelphia Eagles. They lose

969
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 2: this game to the Minnesota Vikings, there is going to

970
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 2: be a lot of questions going forward. I think if

971
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts needs to play really well, this game needs

972
00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:24,760
Speaker 2: to execute efficiently, needs to have more than one hundred

973
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:27,799
Speaker 2: and seventy yards passing the football, especially when he has

974
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:30,759
Speaker 2: a J. Brown and DeVante Smith as his receivers. He

975
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 2: has the talent over there. And we haven't even talked

976
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:37,400
Speaker 2: about Goddard. We're not talking about the running game and

977
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:39,839
Speaker 2: the things that you can do dynamically they're the running

978
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:43,840
Speaker 2: backs and how dynamic they are, but you're just you

979
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 2: expected more from them. You expected kind of a party output.

980
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 2: You know, this is one of the best quarterbacks in

981
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 2: the league. You want to you want him to perform

982
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 2: like Herbert and Tula. Just did you want him to

983
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:55,880
Speaker 2: perform like Pat Mahomes?

984
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 1: Did?

985
00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 2: You know? You want him to throw the ball around

986
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:00,840
Speaker 2: the yard and make it look easy. And that's just

987
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:02,880
Speaker 2: not what we saw. And maybe that was just the rust,

988
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:04,920
Speaker 2: you know, first game of the season. But they got

989
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:06,839
Speaker 2: a quick turnaround. So I'm looking forward to seeing him

990
00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 2: in that game. I'm expecting a d line to heat up.

991
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 2: They had seventy sacks last year and they only had one.

992
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:14,840
Speaker 2: They only had two sacks in this game. Uh so

993
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:18,200
Speaker 2: they got to get back on track and get get

994
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:19,280
Speaker 2: get after that quarterback.

995
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:22,879
Speaker 1: Well, Richard, this concludes Week one. We got a big

996
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:26,239
Speaker 1: game tomorrow night. I know you love the j E Tts, Juts,

997
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:30,239
Speaker 1: Judge Jets, Division four Bills. Who do you like in

998
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:33,279
Speaker 1: this game? I want to score a prediction. Just give me,

999
00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:37,800
Speaker 1: give me your forecasting at what's gonna go down tomorrow night, Mitchell.

1000
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a really good game. It's gonna be

1001
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 2: a defensive battle. The Buffalo Bills are a little beat up.

1002
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:46,600
Speaker 2: Von Miller's not playing. There's question marks at safety. They

1003
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:49,239
Speaker 2: don't have a lot of speed at safety. Uh, They're

1004
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:52,120
Speaker 2: playing against Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers did not play particularly

1005
00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:54,319
Speaker 2: well against the Buffalo Bills last year. But the New

1006
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:58,200
Speaker 2: York Jets defense did play well against Josh Allen and

1007
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 2: Saust Gardner. DJ Reid played well against Gabe Davis and

1008
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 2: Stefan Diggs. So I'm looking forward to those matchups. I

1009
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:10,359
Speaker 2: got the Jets winning twenty eight to twenty four. Feel

1010
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 2: good about that. I like it.

1011
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:15,960
Speaker 1: I like it well, Richard. This concludes Week one. We're

1012
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:19,480
