6
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: life private on some level, but when something really bubbles

00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: out up inside the house, I'd like to get your

Speaker 1: marketized first reaction to look at Erica for her reaction.

14
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: Why are you guys so weird? You know you don't

15
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: know the boys get crushes on their teachers. Yeah, I'm not.

16
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 1: Everything needs to have like look share between each other.

17
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: Can we just can I tell the story? Well, Dan,

18
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: you yeah, that's fine? What nothing? No, I think it's

19
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: very I think it's very cute. Yea like keep going

20
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: with the with the tail. No, Well, now that the

21
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: story has been delayed, so now the story might get

22
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: over long. Yeah, careful, you don't want to you know,

23
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: upset Greg with a long story that was before the show.

24
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: The story you should have heard the tension between Ricky

25
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: and Greg before the show started to it's uncomfortable. Let's

26
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: see her. Anyway, Jack has a after school teacher, and Um,

27
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: she called my wife and said, hey, heads up. Jack

28
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: kind of pulled me aside and took out a twenty

29
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: dollar bill from his backpack and said here, I wanted

30
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: to give this to you because you do such a

31
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: great job. Um, that was my bill. That's so cute.

32
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: She she didn't take the money, which you know, good

33
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: test of her morals, her moral judgment, reported it back

34
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: to the wife. Um, and then I mentioned it to

35
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: the text thread that my family's on and Keith, my dad,

36
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 1: who was you know, you know he's the old man.

37
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: He had this to say. Bottom line is the wallet

38
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: was your possession, not his to take and give away.

39
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: He also secretly took the money. It was nice that

40
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: he was giving it away with appreciation. How are you

41
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: going to handle this? So he took he took the

42
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: twenty out of your wallet. Uh, my son denied that

43
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: he took it out of the wall. He took it

44
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 1: out of my wall. He said he found it on

45
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: the kitchen table. That's not what happened. That sounds like

46
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: a real romantic he'll steal from his own father to

47
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: press the lady. And so is that really what happened

48
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 1: or did he take the twenty dollar bill out and

49
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: say you want this twenty you gotta dance for it, teach.

50
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: I don't know that. I think there was an innocence

51
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: to it. But also my son has I think, Um,

52
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: there's something special in him, But I have to he's

53
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: either going to be a great leader of people or

54
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:06,279
Speaker 1: a leader of a an army force against like cyborgs

55
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: like T two. So it's like a John Connor situation

56
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: or evil. So I need to I need to make

57
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: sure he's on the right path. How do we handle

58
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,239
Speaker 1: this without him off the hook? I think you explain

59
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: that you don't take other people's possessions, that that's important,

60
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: but that if you are, you know, having feelings for someone,

61
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: you're you know, you have a crush on someone giving

62
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: them money, that's a good move, and just give them money.

63
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: It's I'm kind of really impressed. I'm impressed with his

64
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: actions on some level. Um, to mind his way into

65
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: your wallet and steal a twenty and and understand that

66
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: that's would be a lot of money, not a one,

67
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: not even a ten. And when you mentioned that, you know,

68
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: one of his paths could be like the leader of

69
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: some sort of um like apocalyptic thug gang. I mean,

70
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: this would be a formative moment. I don't do you

71
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: want to suppress that if that's maybe what he's supposed

72
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: to be for his kids. I'm just saying, maybe you

73
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: know he's telling you who you know, here's my skills

74
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: and my gifts. All right, Well, thank you for the input,

75
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: and I will address us and give you guys an

76
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: update at a later date, week nine. Later tonight, you're

77
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: gonna hear um for me and maybe some guests on

78
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: the Jets and cults. How that went. I already told

79
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: already everybody listening that's already gonna know the outcome. Just

80
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: know that I knew what was coming and they couldn't

81
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 1: hurt me. Just remember that, Um, the Jets cannot hurt

82
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 1: me anymore in the football Gods, I'm not doing that.

83
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: I am not doing that. This is Week nine, here

84
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: we are. This is the midpoint of the NFL season

85
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: this week once we're through the games and we have

86
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 1: a nice slate game some another week with some big favorites.

87
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: I think that might be there's something cooking here that

88
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 1: there's a lot of. Is there more bad teams? It

89
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: seems like bigger spreads than in a long time. Is

90
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: this how it always is? Or does this just feel

91
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: like there's a few more bad teams this year? Truly

92
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 1: bad teams don't seem like they can compete. I think

93
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,559
Speaker 1: there is something to interesting anyway. We have big news

94
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 1: obviously that came down on Wednesday with Aaron Rodgers, and

95
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: that is something we'll pack a little bit later. But

96
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: let us start with the prime time games. Let's get

97
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: into the preview and uh, yes, Grave Diggers back by

98
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 1: the way behind the glass and he didn't I I

99
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: think maybe he didn't appreciate the assumption that he didn't

100
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: come to work so he was so upset about the

101
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry uh injury. Because he is a professional who

102
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: does his job well. So an apology to the grave Digger. Yeah,

103
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 1: he's such a professional. He'll be at the Titans game.

104
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: Will we're all taping our Sunday podcast about that Titans.

105
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 1: We're still learning about Grave Digger. Titans six and two,

106
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: it Rams seven and one, Sunday Night football at Sophi Stadium,

107
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: and um, we all know what's going on here the Titans.

108
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: This is a team that's been surging, that has been

109
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: on a real streak that puts them at the top

110
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: of the a f C as we speak right now,

111
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: and yet they lost Derrick Henry. And it's gonna be

112
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: mark a test, isn't it? Like the old How important

113
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: is a running back really in the NFL? Well, the

114
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: guy that everyone knows is more important to his team

115
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: than any other running back exits does to the Titans

116
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: exit from the conversation as a contender. I don't think so,

117
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 1: because as much as they have been reliant on him

118
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: over the years, it's not all they are. I thought

119
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: it was interesting that Todd Downing, their play caller, basically

120
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: said he would be doing a disservice to the entire

121
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: offense to get away from their run oriented approach. But

122
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to be You're gonna have to be different,

123
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: and you're gonna have to rely more on on Tannehill

124
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: and A J. Brown. A J. Brown is coming off

125
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: two big weeks but this week specifically, suddenly you're dealing

126
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: with a defense that was already a big headache. And

127
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 1: I know it was the Texans, but there are clips

128
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 1: out there in tape of like them wrecking Houston's front

129
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: and making life hell for Davis Mills. And now you've

130
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: got ten see having to deal with not only Aaron

131
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: Donald and Jalen Ramsey will be on a J. Brown,

132
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: but also you throw Von Miller into the mix. I

133
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: think they're gonna do something spicy with him, and it

134
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: just seems like for the Titans offensive line and who

135
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: they want to be, you're gonna find out right away.

136
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: This is an acid test, I think right having two

137
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: pass rushers and Donald and Floyd is that's great, especially

138
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: when one of them is the greatest of all time.

139
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: You had a third and suddenly it's just like impossible

140
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: to to avoid one on one matchups where either Floyd

141
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: or Miller are gonna be in good situations. And the

142
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: Titans haven't really pass protected well this year. There's six

143
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: and two despite something's going against them, the injuries in

144
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: the secondary, the offensive line, and yet they're about to

145
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: finish the toughest four games stretch they could possibly have,

146
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: and I feel like every week we're like, well, this

147
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: will really tell us something about the Titans. They beat

148
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: the Bills, this will tell us something about the Titans.

149
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: They beat the Chiefs, Like this should be the letdown

150
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: game against the Colts team that knows them. They get

151
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: that win. So when I saw the line in this game,

152
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: seven and a half feels a little disrespectful. I don't

153
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: know if Adrian Peterson is ready in his first game

154
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: to be the full Adrian Peterson that maybe he could

155
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: be in three or four weeks, where at least he's

156
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: like deep, you know, at least he saw it. Can

157
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: we be honest about what Adrian Peterson is in the

158
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: first place? What we saw last year was the very

159
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: middle of the road guy up there in years. At

160
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: this point, he's he's not special, but I think just

161
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: as a pure runner, like a pure power runner, he

162
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: was average too, better than average of nfls. And I think,

163
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: but even understanding that, it's kind of a lot to

164
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: ask to just like come off wherever whatever he was

165
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 1: doing and just play a lot this game, you'll probably

166
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: see a lot of Jeremy McNichols. So maybe maybe Vegas

167
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: is asking you to to have the Titans keep it close.

168
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: But I believe in Tannel. I think they will make

169
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:47,839
Speaker 1: it a fun game. You know. That's why I didn't

170
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: ding the Titans and the power rankings after Henry's injury,

171
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: because I think they've earned at this point the respect

172
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: um with their play in recent weeks to say, Okay,

173
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 1: let's see you are a well coach team. You still

174
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: have your quarterback. We all know as long as you

175
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 1: have your starting quarterback, you usually can keep your head

176
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: above water. So I'm not ready to say the Titans

177
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 1: are cooked, and I'm interested to see how this plays out.

178
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: It's a great experiment. It does put a lot more

179
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 1: pressure on Julio Jones to have a real role on

180
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,599
Speaker 1: this team and if he could stay healthy, make this

181
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: a better passing team, because I think they'll have to

182
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: be too. He's gonna play after missing a couple of games.

183
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: Can we talk about Cooper cup And I know maybe

184
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: we are talking a lot about Cooper Cupper, maybe we're

185
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: not talking about it enough. I just want to go

186
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,559
Speaker 1: his game log, because doesn't it seem like he's always

187
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 1: having a big game that year? It's because he is here.

188
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: We go seven for one, oh eight and one. That

189
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: was Week one nine for one sixty three and two

190
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: nine six and two five or sixty four seven for

191
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: ninety two nine for one thirty and two ten for

192
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,839
Speaker 1: one fifty six and two seven for one fifteen and one.

193
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: And this is from NFL media research. Matthew Stafford and

194
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup have connected on ten uh touchdown passes this season,

195
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 1: most of the duo in the NFL, second most by

196
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: QB pass catcher in the first eight games since nineteen

197
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: seventy and this that Cup is the only player in

198
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl era since the nineteen sixty six yards

199
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: and ten receiving touchdowns in his team's first eight games

200
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 1: of a season. I'm not looking I'm not just trying

201
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,319
Speaker 1: to regurgitate stats at you, but I think we need

202
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 1: to start looking at what's happening. Here is a historic

203
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: season and this is just like something. I don't think

204
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: anybody predicted this, and yet here we are. He's the

205
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: back to back player of the month on offense. I

206
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: don't I'm not surprised that some of these, like records

207
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: in general, will be broken by some quarterback and wide

208
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 1: receiver out there. In one stuff from you know, the

209
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: mid two thousand's and before. But this is truly special

210
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: because you know, anyone, anyone preparing for the Rams knows

211
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: every game that this is what Cooper Cup is, how

212
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 1: he's gonna be used, what's he's gonna do when he's

213
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 1: still doing it. I think he has a chance for

214
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: two thousand yards, which would be wild from a receiver.

215
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: You get the seventeen game, that helps, but he's almost

216
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: on pace for two thousand right now, so you have

217
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: to pick it up a lot a little. That's asking.

218
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 1: But the thing that I think people miss on Cup

219
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: is how often just it's just every play that he

220
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: makes the first guy miss. And I and I think

221
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 1: it's not just about that. They scheme him open and

222
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: he's a good route runner and he gets deep, he

223
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: almost always makes the first guy miss. It reminds me

224
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: a little bit of Lamar or Herbert in the pocket,

225
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: where it's like they almost don't even worry about the

226
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: first guy, like the first guy they've got, and then

227
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: they got to figure out what to do after that.

228
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,599
Speaker 1: And and Cups at that level, Deepo Samuels at that

229
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: level two of the better Yak receivers that we've seen

230
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 1: in along. They're kind of both not getting discussed enough.

231
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: But maybe I think we're getting a tipping point with

232
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: cup where you just getting mentioned every show. Believe, so

233
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: I think it's a field goal game. What do you

234
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 1: guys think That's what I had three or four? Yeah,

235
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be close. So I would definitely

236
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: go Rams. I definitely. I wonder if like there's any

237
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: bit with the Rams after playing these three Cupcakes in

238
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 1: a row, Is there like and will there be any

239
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: shock of like, oh, this is what playing a real

240
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: teams like? They literally just played the you know, the

241
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: Giants at their worst in terms of injuries, and then

242
00:11:58,080 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: the lines and the Texans. Maybe it's like a shock fuel.

243
00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: They don't strike me under to be like suddenly stunned

244
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: by you know, an actual contender coming in. Let's get

245
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 1: I want to get a heat check on Grave Digger.

246
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 1: I want to see if he's just chucking up threes

247
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: from thirty five ft and if he thinks his team

248
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: is gonna win this weekend on an honest assessment prediction

249
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: of the game. Justin as someone who knows the team

250
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: better than any of us, I think that there could

251
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,319
Speaker 1: be some element of surprise where if you are playing

252
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 1: against the Derrick Henry Titans. You know exactly what your

253
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: defensive game plan is, and this one week could provide

254
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: I mean that's probably only last a half, but it

255
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: couldn't give the Titans a spark early on. I think

256
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: this could be a week the Titans fall short. For sure.

257
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 1: It's an NFC game. It doesn't really matter that much

258
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 1: for their playoff standings, but it would be nice to

259
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: keep that a f C one seed. I will go

260
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: Rams thirty eight, Titans thirty. They didn't even cover, so

261
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: the defense won't show up in this spot. It's tough.

262
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: I mean, it's the Rams, all right. They'll be okay.

263
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: As he's saying, though, I mean it will matter if

264
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: the Colts somehow get hot in the standings, but at

265
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: six and three and NFC lost, you'll be okay heading

266
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 1: into Week ten. Let's move to the Monday night football

267
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: game between the Chicago Bears, who always seemed to get

268
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: on the prime time schedule regardless of what they put

269
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: out on the field, um against the Pittsburgh Steelers four

270
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: and three. We know what happened uh in Cleveland last Sunday,

271
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh outlasting the Browns and the kind of a classic,

272
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 1: a f C North uh slugfest, a slobber knocker. Uh.

273
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: So they are now above five hundred at four and

274
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 1: three after that one and three start, and looking very

275
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: much like kind of the type of Steelers team that

276
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: you know, could find its way to the playoffs potentially

277
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears. On the mean. Meanwhile, Greg three and five. Uh,

278
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 1: they lost last week, but at the same time, there

279
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 1: were some reasons to be excited watching them for the

280
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: first time in a while, and it starts behind center

281
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: justin fields is a roller coaster like a lot of

282
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: rookie qb especially ones that struggle, and he struggled on

283
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: balance where the good games like last week, we're really good.

284
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: I thought that was his best game of the season.

285
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's you know, I don't think

286
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: it's Naggy not being there, But I do like the

287
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,839
Speaker 1: idea that Bill Laser is figuring out ways to get

288
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: the best out of fields and if nothing else, they're

289
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: telling him run the ball more because he is an

290
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: incredible runner. There's only two design runs on those ten runs,

291
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: so it was a lot of just scrambling. But when

292
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: he had the first read open, he hit it, and

293
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: I think this is a winnable game for them if

294
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: they had Khalil mack and Eddie Jackson. We don't really know.

295
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: Eddie Jackson, their former all Pro safeties, struggled a little

296
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: bit this year, got hurt early in last week's game,

297
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: and Khalil mac didn't play for the first time as

298
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: a Bear, and their defense, which had been competitive, was

299
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: terrible a week ago. And if you're competitive, I think

300
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: you stay in the game against the Steelers. I mean,

301
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: the Steelers are about two plays away from scoring, you know,

302
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: six points. Against the Browns, you got a fourth a

303
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: couple of fourth downs, and it's like they're working hard

304
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: for their points. So if Khalil MC and Eddie Jackson's

305
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: out there, I think we could have like a fun

306
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: game close. I think it could be close. I I

307
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: don't really trust the Bears on any level compared to

308
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: the Steelers. And I think you saw Pittsburgh's offensive line

309
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: start to dominate Cleveland down the stretch in that game,

310
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: and like it's been a long journey for that. They're

311
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: very young and they're still learning how to kind of mesh.

312
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: But that right it was very helpful I thought for

313
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: them in that situation, and you know, Tomlin is twenty

314
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: two and four against rookie starters. But I'm with you

315
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: on fields. I I you know, there have been moments

316
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: obviously before the Niners game where you saw it and

317
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: you can and and you just want him to get

318
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: more comfortable. But I thought that he just his athleticism

319
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: took over last week and on the ground he was

320
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: a total factor. And I thought he saw the ball

321
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: better and he was throwing the ball beyond the sticks

322
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: and using you know, there was a tight one of

323
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: his tight ends, cold Commet dropped the ball in the

324
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: end zone. I mean, he could have they could have

325
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: had that game could have been even closer. Seven times

326
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: in nine drives. He had a great game. I think

327
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: Khalil Herbert also has been one of there's been a

328
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: number of good rookie running back, but he has been

329
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 1: awesome for them. It kind of got wiped away because

330
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: San Francisco's offense got hot um. But the touchdown run,

331
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: the twenty two yard touchdown run, well, let's listen to

332
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: us here, Jeff Johnny iu with the call, because I

333
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: thought that was the moment where Bears fans were like, okay,

334
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: all right, I know this has been a tough season,

335
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: but there's something special here potentially. Let's listening football at

336
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: the twenty one yard line. It's fourth down. Here we go,

337
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: Sun comes out, Bears down seven two clock running. You're

338
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: on the port fields with eight on the play clock,

339
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: trying to get everybody set, money in motion to the

340
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: right fields. Now brings him back the other way. I'm

341
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: gonna take fields. Was gonna do something with it, but

342
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: it was not piss. He's trying to get out of trouble,

343
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: breaks out of a tackle, lift ten five Bengo touchdown, touchdown,

344
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: Bears twenty two yards and lit play. How broken play

345
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: turns into six for justin fields. It was a electrifying

346
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: moment in that game, and the first electrifying moment around

347
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: the Bears that I can remember a long time, to

348
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: be quite honest with you. So um, let's see more

349
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: of that. Matt Naggie, do not put this guy in shackles,

350
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: Let him be loose, let him make mistakes, but also

351
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 1: make sure you don't overload him and let him be

352
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,360
Speaker 1: what he is, which is a young quarterback, a young

353
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 1: athletic quarterback. We'll see if that happens. What is more.

354
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,919
Speaker 1: I Mean, the one thing that's happened with Corona is

355
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: that it seems like almost every time a head coach

356
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: is out, uh, the team thrives. And it's like if

357
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: you're naggy on top of everything else that you're dealing with,

358
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: critique wise, like that's this thing out there, Like maybe

359
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,199
Speaker 1: they're just better without their head coach. The game they

360
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 1: flipped to laser as the play caller was his first

361
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: was his best game, first good game, and then the

362
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: game he missed they had laser leap. I don't know, though,

363
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: I I just I'm just not buying. Um the Steelers

364
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: pass and uh any teams that that who's passing game

365
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: is that bad? Like is going to keep the other

366
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: team in the game. Do we think that maybe by

367
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: the way um Alan Robinson can get involved in the

368
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: Bears offensive season, he has crossed fifty yards like once

369
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 1: all year twin and so she's got to be frustrated.

370
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the draft now. So primetime

371
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: games out of the way. The Bucks, line, Seahawks, and

372
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: Washington all on a buy and this week Mark Sessler

373
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 1: has the first overall pick. Well, this may be the

374
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: last time that I did I do this depending on

375
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: how this um shakes out, but I am going to

376
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: pick the Browns one more time at Cincinnati because I think,

377
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: first of all, it's not some you know, zero stakes

378
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,199
Speaker 1: game that it has been a dramatic week we can

379
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 1: get any the way. It's maybe the best one PM

380
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 1: games an AM game ever ever. Ever, according to this week,

381
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 1: I'm saying it's probably the best one. That that's Romo

382
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 1: is there your boy? Yeah, I've made it clear how

383
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: I feel about that dynamic, but it would be the

384
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 1: perfect week for Romo to be there um and not

385
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: commentating what's gone down all week longed in with the

386
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham scenario. So someone explained this one to me

387
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: because now the Backham doesn't get traded. We talked about

388
00:18:54,680 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 1: it on Tuesday, the the Lebron tweet O'Dell Senior, the

389
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,199
Speaker 1: Instagram message, and then he doesn't practice and he's not

390
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 1: practicing again on Thursday and they're excused absences, and the

391
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: reporting out there is that he's not gonna play for

392
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: the Browns again. What this feels like a unique situation

393
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: because it's not a contract squabble, right, It's not a

394
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 1: situation where he's unhappy with his playing time. He's the

395
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: starting outside wide receiver for the Browns. He just doesn't

396
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 1: like the quarterback and he's he's essentially to me, a

397
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: rat jumping off a ship that's sinking, only the ship

398
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: is not really sinking. So there's Odell has always been

399
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: to me kind of a me first dude. He was

400
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: that guy with the Giants, and that was part of

401
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 1: the risk when you brought him to Cleveland. So Cleveland,

402
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,959
Speaker 1: I guess put left itself open for something like this

403
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: to happen. But at the end of the day, I

404
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: don't think this is some Brown's catastrophe. Rather O'Dell being

405
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: Odell and not really being a team guy, and I

406
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 1: think it's just like such a bad look for him.

407
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 1: I think also we live in a like in America

408
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: where people forget anything that happened like a week ago

409
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 1: for the most part. So this is a drama they

410
00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: have to deal with and move on. But for me,

411
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 1: what it what it vibed as for me a little

412
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: bit boils down to future money because I kind of

413
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: think that Odell Beckham was a very clear cut candidate

414
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: this offseason. This coaching staff wanted to use them. They

415
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 1: wanted like you know, Stefanski has been adamant about wanting

416
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: to get him involved. You know, Andrew Berry's played ball,

417
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 1: but that it was John Dorsey who went and pulled

418
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: the trade for Rodell Beckham, and they try to make

419
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 1: it work. You know, we've spent a year plus asking

420
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 1: why it's just not working on the field between Baker

421
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 1: and Odell, and I think both of them, you know,

422
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:29,439
Speaker 1: if you look at just the raw tape, it's like

423
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 1: both of them have been culpable for some of the

424
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: stuff that's happened there. But I mean he was gonna

425
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,199
Speaker 1: get cut. I think his value is diminishing. There's been

426
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: a narrative about the offense being better without Odell Beckham,

427
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 1: which is an ugly narrative for Odell. And I think

428
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: frustration boiled over and he probably you know, was pushing

429
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: to some degree to be traded before the trade deadline.

430
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 1: I would imagine there had been some conversation of some level,

431
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 1: and Andrew Berry is like, I'm not just gonna move

432
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: you because you want to be moved. We're not gonna

433
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 1: get There's not enough value coming back in the offers

434
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: that I would imagine were floated out there, and Odell

435
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: Beckham is thinking if I continue with this season and

436
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: totally flatline, what's my next contract with a new team,

437
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: because there's no dead money to cut him in this offseason, right,

438
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 1: but you're trying to win this year, Like that all

439
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: makes sense for Okay, he's gonna get cut, but what

440
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: about this year? But that, like, it doesn't sound like

441
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: it was Odell Beckham's choice. It sounds like because of

442
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,719
Speaker 1: what happened on Tuesday. So you have the father. I

443
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: can't believe after all they gave up for the Rodell

444
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 1: Beckham back in the day and him being like on

445
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 1: the walls of our building, this building and our last

446
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: building that like the art department went all in the

447
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 1: I don't know why they created Odell Beckham in the

448
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 1: Browns jersey in this building. But that's But also like,

449
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: so he's that big of a star and yet his

450
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 1: career in Cleveland is ending with the final straw being

451
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: his dad posting a video of low lights. That's what

452
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,719
Speaker 1: we know though, but that's what we That was the

453
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: end point. So that was that was part of it,

454
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:04,959
Speaker 1: and the fact Baker's talking about that was part of it.

455
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: And Lebron sending the tweet was part of it, and

456
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 1: you're right. I suspect there is more going on behind

457
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: the scenes that we don't know, but based on the reporting,

458
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: it sounds like Kevin Stefanski told him to stay home.

459
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 1: So I don't know what the last straw was in terms.

460
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 1: Maybe they had a conversation after the trade deadline. Who knows,

461
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 1: that didn't go well and he said stay home. But

462
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 1: he informed the team that Odell Beckham's essentially not part

463
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: of the team. Mike Silver was the first person to

464
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 1: report this. It's funny that they keep adding like he's

465
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 1: been excused from practice again. Yeah, he's he's never coming back,

466
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: that this is over. They apparently rejected some lame trade

467
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: proposals from the Saints. Maybe it was a third day pick,

468
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 1: like a fourth round pick I've heard in I guess

469
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: you would rather have a fourth round pick than nothing, um,

470
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 1: because right now you have nothing. But like did something?

471
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: They did something seems I think something changed. I don't

472
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 1: think it's him sitting now. I have a feeling they

473
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 1: didn't want to deal with him anymore and they thought

474
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: they were better off without. I think that's exactly what

475
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,199
Speaker 1: they think. And I think on top of it, you know,

476
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: after what happened, How do you bring him back? He's

477
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: he's essentially publicly through you know, right, he's never helped.

478
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: You cut bait with this. Now. I can think of

479
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 1: two games where he truly helped the team. There's a

480
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: Monday night game against the Jets and he had a

481
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: big touchdown. And he had that one big game last

482
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 1: year before the a c L where he made big

483
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: time plays. Otherwise, this has been a I was I

484
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: was doing a thing on Cleveland radio. It was like,

485
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 1: quick name the top five Odell Beckham moments in Cleveland,

486
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: and you cannot outside of what you just mentioned, Dan,

487
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: So I think, if anything, if there's a positive, you know,

488
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 1: the teammate. A lot of the players love Odell in

489
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:48,959
Speaker 1: this locker room. That's been made clear by comments. But

490
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: if you can get to a point where this is

491
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: something that you make a statement about who the Browns

492
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: are under Kevin Stefanski and Andrew Berry, maybe you can

493
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 1: rally around it too. I get I think they're also

494
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 1: just trying to get out of the money. They owe

495
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,400
Speaker 1: him nine million dollars for the rest of the year.

496
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,919
Speaker 1: They probably don't want to cut him and have like

497
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: the Patriots who they play in a couple of weeks

498
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: or some team claim him. But if they could negotiate

499
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 1: a settlement with him where he agrees to pass up

500
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 1: some of that money because he wants to play football

501
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: this year, I think we could see him on anar

502
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: or he's not told him to stay home. I mean

503
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 1: he is and he is. Let's not be naive here, Greg.

504
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: It's not that the Browns of after deciding they weren't

505
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 1: going to trade him or like, don't come here anymore

506
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to play for it, I right, And

507
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 1: I think they decided, Okay, then we don't want you

508
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: here if you're gonna be putting, but they're not to

509
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: stay home if he's not saying I don't want to

510
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: be absolutely correct, and it's like, what is up with that?

511
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 1: Why is how is that at all acceptable? I don't know.

512
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think they they thought they could

513
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: get away with like this weird last minute like trade

514
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 1: me push and that was like too much for Cleveland

515
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:55,400
Speaker 1: because by most reports, he hasn't acted, you know, in

516
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:59,439
Speaker 1: any particular unprofessional way in the in the building that

517
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,679
Speaker 1: he's gone showed up to work, he's worked and he

518
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 1: and he's just kept it quiet, and Baker Mayfield sort

519
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: of alluded to it, which is you know they He

520
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: basically said, yeah, like a conversation would be great because

521
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,719
Speaker 1: we haven't talked about it at all, about any it

522
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:13,959
Speaker 1: was never gonna end well and it's not anywhere. Let's um,

523
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 1: let's move to the Bengals here before we move on,

524
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 1: because they're a big story here too. I mean, you

525
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 1: entered last week they were five and two, flying high

526
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: on top of the a f C North, and then

527
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: they just collapse late in the fourth quarter against the Jets.

528
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 1: If they would have, you know, hung on for that game,

529
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: you you would write it off as all right, they

530
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:33,679
Speaker 1: got in a tough spot on the road and an

531
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 1: unknown quarterback got hot, but they found a way to win.

532
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 1: But when you don't find a way to pull that

533
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: game out and you the defense implodes the way it did, Greg,

534
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 1: did that change how you felt about Cincinnati at all?

535
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 1: Are you willing to give him a bit of a

536
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: pass and see what happens this week. I don't think

537
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 1: there's some unbeatable team. They weren't, you know, they were

538
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: the number one seed in the a f C. They're

539
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 1: one of the teams in the a f C that's

540
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 1: frisky and competitive and it's going to be in the

541
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: playoff mix. They don't put them above like this whole

542
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: big group. They didn't blitz uh Mike White at all,

543
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 1: and they're not a blitz team. They're just a like

544
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 1: a lay back rally to the ball, a lot of

545
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: energy and teams like that that aren't that talented and

546
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 1: I don't have that good of a pass rush. It's

547
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: like a smaller margin for error. I don't think they

548
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: match up that well with the Browns, because that's what

549
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,919
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield wants to do, you know. I think they

550
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: want to run the ball, they want to throw it short,

551
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: and I don't I think the Browns matchup pretty well

552
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: against Cleveland. This weekend, I was good. I almost thought

553
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: about locking up Cincinnati, Mark. I gotta be honest, because

554
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,120
Speaker 1: I don't really like the general tenor of this Cleveland

555
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 1: season anymore. But and then the Romo Nance thing, the

556
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 1: ghosts of Romo and dance like circling the Browns. But

557
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 1: now I'm thinking, like in the locker room around this,

558
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:47,880
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna stay away from this game and hope

559
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 1: your team wins. And I also would look at what

560
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: happened against the Jets. Is Zach Taylor as a head coach.

561
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: You know it's not all on him, but they you

562
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 1: don't good coaches that are super experienced their teams don't

563
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 1: fall flat in in those offensive is fine. This is

564
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: a situation, I think for they were fine except Burrow

565
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: through another fourth killer fourth quarter that that was an

566
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:10,640
Speaker 1: incredibly flukey tipped past that the defensive lineman made an

567
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 1: incredible play on It. Wasn't like flukey like he made

568
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 1: a great play, but I'm not killing like a three

569
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: pound guy like lifting his arm up and catching it.

570
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: That was That was crazy. Thing is I didn't see

571
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: Cincinnati's flat in that game offense like their ye game.

572
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: The defense was bad, but I didn't see it like

573
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: they were sleepwalking. They had control of that game midway

574
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: through the fourth quarter and then they just smelted down.

575
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,719
Speaker 1: I'm just saying it's a Jets team that had fifty

576
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,360
Speaker 1: plus put on him the week before. That's what I mean.

577
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: That's kind of my point that it was kind of

578
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:44,919
Speaker 1: like a weird, funky Halloween Day situation. It's Halloween. I

579
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: think the Browns have the better roster and the better coach.

580
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 1: But the Bengals have the better quarterback. So it's like,

581
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 1: which if every game is this long as the preview?

582
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 1: That was Beckham's. That was right, that was good combo,

583
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: good sportstock guys. Let's take a break in to keep moving,

584
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: all right, Greg, you are up with the next pig.

585
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,880
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll jump you, or maybe I won't. Maybe we'll

586
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 1: jump you. You have two more left. Once I make

587
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:17,199
Speaker 1: the pick, you can't jump. I'm taking the Packers in

588
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. I'm excited you didn't jump me because I

589
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: really wanted to watch this one. There's only three late games,

590
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: and I'm all in on the Jordan's Love experience. I

591
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 1: don't know what's gonna happen. I feel like they're either

592
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 1: gonna get blown out or they're gonna win this game.

593
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: I picked him to win on game picks on the

594
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: website because I just have seen enough with the Chiefs

595
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: where I starting to think we kind of know who

596
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: they are roughly, and I've seen enough with Matt Lafleur

597
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: that I want to give him some credit. Jordan's Love.

598
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: He's gonna get a full week as the starter. He's

599
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 1: gonna get Davante Adams back. Alan Lazard back and possibly

600
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: David Bactieri back, which is that last one is huge

601
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: and it sounds like he's back. When I watched Jordan's

602
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: love in the Priests reason and for those you know,

603
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: ten dropbacks in week one, I'm surprised people aren't more

604
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 1: excited about him. I mean, he has he does it all.

605
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: He's he's a lot like he's Josh Allen maybe as

606
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 1: a rookie, which is not great, like you're gonna have

607
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: some good and some bad. He he made two or

608
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 1: three terrible red zone plays where he showed very little awareness,

609
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: and that's a problem. But his arm strength and his

610
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: movement ability and some of the throws he made were

611
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: like box office and I'm kind of excited what he's

612
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: gonna do to see what he's gonna do with a

613
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: full week of prep with a good coaching staff against

614
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: the bad defense. To me, this is a close game.

615
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: I thought it was very disrespectful to Matt Lafleur to

616
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: make the Chiefs a seven and a half point favorite.

617
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 1: If I could lock up the packerscovery and I would

618
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: lock that up that allowed. I mean, I know the

619
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 1: desert has its reasons, so it's not like that can

620
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 1: I lock that up. That should be because we get

621
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 1: to pick favor that's supposed to be fifty fifty. We

622
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 1: pick real winners that our favorite, so it's a less

623
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: of a chance than pick I know. This is first

624
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: of all, this is a contest that you wanted to

625
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 1: remove from the podcast now and in week nine you

626
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 1: suddenly want to completely change the complex My my feeling

627
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 1: on I think that picking the spreads in the future

628
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: is something we should discuss. It wasn't really allowed until

629
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: it's harder. It's my point that's harder, but it discussion,

630
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: and we all discussed we should just you know. So

631
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 1: the Aaron Rodgers story is is kind of a head scratcher.

632
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: I mean, we have we on this show and a

633
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: lot of other people have gotten a hard on. We've

634
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: gotten upset about Aaron Rodder or Kirk Cousins and his

635
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: decision not to be vaccinated, and Aaron Rodgers. It's worse

636
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,959
Speaker 1: because it's like, well, it all depends where you come

637
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: down on this, but I think it's worse because not

638
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: only you're not vaccinated, which causes a lot of issues

639
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 1: um on a number of levels. He kind of hit

640
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: it from people and you hit behind some different type

641
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 1: of wording to try to skirt around it with the media.

642
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 1: You weren't following the protocols that you're supposed to be

643
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: following UM on some level, and uh now you're missing

644
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,959
Speaker 1: a big game. So Packers fans who were annoyed by this,

645
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 1: I get it, maybe more than one game. I mean,

646
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: it's it was like a total nuclear bomb landing news wise,

647
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: But I am totally you know, flummixed on how you

648
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: tell everyone that you're immunized and that doesn't mean what

649
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: everyone would assume it means. And I guess we just

650
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: let it. He thought it was he thought he was

651
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: protected by his homeopathic UM solution, which he apparently reportedly

652
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 1: you know our Cordney, our guys and wrap were uh

653
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: applied to the NFL p A in NFL and said,

654
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: what does this homeopathic method I did to immunize myself?

655
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 1: It was and it was rejected UM because because all

656
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 1: basically all homeopathic UM, you know, solutions to disease have

657
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: been proven medically to be a d percent false. Wait

658
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: a minute, like if you go side on that road,

659
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 1: but that greg, that's a massive generalization about it's just

660
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: the truth though, Like if you if you go like

661
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 1: signed today, you can't. You can't, you really can't. Can't

662
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: is reading like that just doesn't even apply to what

663
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: we're talking about here on some level. But honestly, like

664
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: you next to Mr Homeopath, no, I think that in

665
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 1: this case, to a scientists, the doctor in this case,

666
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: in this case, it certainly does not apply. And like

667
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 1: it was rejected by the league, and it is very

668
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it is one of the weirder it's the

669
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: weirdest Corona Tin story that we've had all season. I mean,

670
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: people got a little crazy, getting so upset. To me,

671
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 1: it was more like jokes. You know, it's like good

672
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 1: for jokes here that Rogers thinks he's smart enough that

673
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: in that moment he thinks he's getting one over on everyone.

674
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: That's the part where it's like you're showing who you

675
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: are a little bit like in that moment he is

676
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: sitting there thinking I'm getting one over on anyone because

677
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: I said immunized, which first of all, immunized is a

678
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: synonym for vaccinated. It doesn't. He still got that part wrong,

679
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 1: and then he says immediately I don't think we um

680
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 1: He also said, like I don't think that we should

681
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: judge the people who aren't vaccinated, which you know as

682
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 1: misleading as what will he beach is the in the

683
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: fall out. He's a bit of a strange guy. We

684
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: all get that, but like, I could think of ten

685
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: other players that would pull the same stunt and the

686
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: reactions would be different based on who they are as people.

687
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: Kind Of I'm curious what kind of fallout there is

688
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: because I think about I think about Carson Wentz as

689
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: an example, another guy that is not vaccinated. UM that

690
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: game ends last week and they show him walking off

691
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: the sideline to meet all the players at midfield and

692
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 1: the coaches. He puts his mask on immediately Aaron Rodgers,

693
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: he doesn't have to. I mean they've kind of, yeah,

694
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 1: they've kind of pointed out that, at least on camera,

695
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: Rodgers hasn't done anything that is violating rules. The fact

696
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 1: that he wasn't wearing it in the media room is

697
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: the confusing part, because like, but Kirk Cousins hasn't been

698
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: doing that either. They just told everyone and they're like, hey,

699
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: we want to be like a team by team. But

700
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: one thing that has been proven that where he was

701
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 1: breaking a lot of the rules is he's been going

702
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 1: to these team parties and stuff like that, like the

703
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 1: Halloween parties and that all of that actually is against

704
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 1: the COVID rules that if you're unvaccinated you can't go

705
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 1: to the indoor team functions and all that stuff, and

706
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 1: so they do have proof of that if they want

707
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: to get carried away. But I'm not carried away. No, no, no,

708
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,839
Speaker 1: I mean they're gonna find him. No, no, they should

709
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 1: find I'm just saying like they're not going to suspend them.

710
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 1: It was absolutely like I just, I'm not just. I

711
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 1: don't want to spend four years on it. It is

712
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 1: what it is. But it's like, we're not just. It's

713
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 1: not just a mulligan. It was a completely confusing comment

714
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 1: by Aaron Rodgers. And now he's missing a key game

715
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 1: for them. Well, but he would have missed it most likely. Anyways,

716
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: everyone got worked about the five day returning thing. Show

717
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: me the person who's return in five days, and I

718
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 1: think that is worth noting because he might not be

719
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: back for the next team. Davante Adams, for instance, is vaccinated,

720
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,919
Speaker 1: did not make it back to practice and Thursday after

721
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 1: testing positive the previous Monday. That was ten days and

722
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 1: he is vaccinated because you know what's like, this disease

723
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 1: is unpredictable and you might not test negative two days

724
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 1: in a row for us solid like ten days. Even

725
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 1: if you are vaccinated, you might have symptoms. All right,

726
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 1: it's like where he's an intelligent dude, but there's some arrogance.

727
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: I think that that got into the mix here about

728
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 1: how he's handling this and puts the team in a

729
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: bad spot. All right, let's move on um with the

730
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: game talk. Is there anything else we think about the same,

731
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 1: because you know, the Chiefs catch a huge break here, Mark,

732
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 1: because now you have no Aaron Rodgers, and we're excited

733
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 1: to see Jordan loves Sure, but it's a totally different

734
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: ball game. The Packers are on a seven game winning

735
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 1: streak and we're playing their best ball the year, coming

736
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 1: off a great primetime win over Arizona. So the Chiefs,

737
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 1: who didn't look close to having things right on Monday

738
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: night and they're narrow win over the Giants. Uh, this

739
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 1: is a real gift. Uh do they even know what

740
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 1: to make of it? It is except I kind of,

741
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,720
Speaker 1: you know, with Jordan's love, and I like what Greg

742
00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 1: said about Jordan's love. It's just like there is the

743
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: element of surprise, and you know, you'd like to think

744
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 1: that a first round pick would be prepared for this moment. Yes,

745
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 1: it's a huge Obviously, not having Aaron Rodgers is a

746
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: massive advantage for a Chiefs team that is simply average.

747
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 1: They're just an average team at this point with a

748
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 1: lot of issues. But you don't have Jared's Alexander in

749
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 1: there for the Packers. You know, maybe there's a chance

750
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 1: for a bit of a bounce back here, But outside

751
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: of Jordan's love, the Packers are way healthier than they

752
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 1: have been of late. And I don't think that this

753
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:29,839
Speaker 1: is a big, huge blowout spot for Kansas City at all.

754
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 1: Mahome's had nineteen in complation completions last week. I mean,

755
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 1: they're not They're not fixed on offense. They're a mess.

756
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:39,840
Speaker 1: All right, let us move on. I will take the

757
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 1: other big primetime game, Cardinals at Niners. I thought it

758
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 1: was interesting, um how San Francisco's offense, uh showed some

759
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 1: signs of life. I thought that Jimmy Garoppolo wasn't you know, great,

760
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 1: but he looked healthy, he was moving well and just

761
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 1: seemed to be a lot more r bowl. Then when

762
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: We saw him in the monsoon against Pittsburgh the previous week,

763
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 1: and I think that's the type of game to win

764
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 1: over the Bears where they scored I believe on their

765
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:15,320
Speaker 1: final seven possessions. Um, that can really jump start your confidence.

766
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 1: Like the Chiefs are an offense that desperately needs a

767
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: jump started their confidence and make them believe that they're

768
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 1: special again. I think the forty Niners got that last week.

769
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 1: And they have a quarterback who now probably is breathing

770
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 1: a little easier. He's saying, I know for this week

771
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,320
Speaker 1: at least, I'm not thinking about how am I gonna

772
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 1: make it through this game without getting benched. He he

773
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: knows he has the coach's faith. Um. So I believe

774
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 1: that the Niners are in a good spot at home.

775
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:40,799
Speaker 1: They don't play very well at home, but they're a

776
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,799
Speaker 1: good spot at home against the Cardinals team coming off

777
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,799
Speaker 1: ten day break, uh first loss of the season. I'm

778
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:49,919
Speaker 1: interested to see what we see with the Cardinals here, Greg,

779
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 1: because I don't know they to me like that was

780
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 1: like a great game first of all, but a game

781
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 1: that a lot of things went against them in the end,

782
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 1: if not for the A. J. Green not knowing the

783
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 1: play called. The offense at least stepped up and would

784
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: have had touchdowns in their last three drives when they

785
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 1: absolutely needed him. I do worry about them without J. J.

786
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 1: Watt because you think back to the first forty Niners

787
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,359
Speaker 1: Cardinals game and J. J. Watt dominated in that game

788
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 1: and he's been a great run stopper. It sounds like

789
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 1: they'll get David Collins back, uh, But it's all about

790
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray just playing or not. If Kyler Murray plays,

791
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,359
Speaker 1: unlocking this game up and like if the if the

792
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 1: injuries sound good, if he doesn't play, out a revisit,

793
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: because right now it sounds like there's a legitimate chance

794
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: he he might not play, which does get you a

795
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 1: little worried. Like Kyler at less than a percent, is

796
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 1: he still Kyler? But he has been winning a lot.

797
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 1: We saw what happened last year when a different injury, obviously,

798
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 1: but you know he's a guy that when everything is

799
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: working together, he is almost impossible to stop. And the

800
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:55,760
Speaker 1: fact that it's something that it's affecting his mobility is something,

801
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 1: UH to keep an eye on here. Yet it's like

802
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 1: a legit game time decision. And DeAndre Hopkins has a

803
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 1: hamstring injury. A J Green's on the COVID list right now.

804
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,839
Speaker 1: I mean this is a These two met not long

805
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 1: ago and the score was seventeen to ten, and they

806
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:12,840
Speaker 1: were one of the few teams that were able to

807
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,240
Speaker 1: put the clamps on Arizona's offense when they were healthy,

808
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 1: And I think that's notable. They know the Cardinals really well,

809
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: and you know, I think with Jimmy g like the

810
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,319
Speaker 1: design runs they used with him inside the ten yard

811
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 1: lines show that they are going to stick with him.

812
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 1: I think at this point, why are we put why

813
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: would they be pushing to put trade Lands into the lineup?

814
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 1: Starting at that game against the Cardinals too, was an

815
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 1: interesting game where they failed on four different times on

816
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 1: fourth and short and they kind of looked like maybe

817
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 1: the better team the forty nine is that day with

818
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 1: trade Land. So you do wonder if maybe they'll use

819
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 1: them at least a little bit more. They didn't use

820
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 1: them last Yeah, maybe there's a way because there seems

821
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 1: to be, you know, behind the scenes, Shanahan maybe not

822
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 1: totally ready for the tray Lands experience. He is not

823
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: ready to hand the team over. But at the same time,

824
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 1: Garoppolo can't stay healthy, so you you might see lands,

825
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:02,359
Speaker 1: even though it might up be Shanahan's decision. I kind

826
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:03,839
Speaker 1: of like the Niners here. I just got a bit

827
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: of a not a not a lock. But I think

828
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 1: this is a close game. I think this is a

829
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 1: field goal game, and I could see San Francisco getting

830
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 1: a little, a little bit high. I think the forty

831
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: Niners are favored. Vegas is so spooked about the smurry

832
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: or it's a pick him right now? Um, all right,

833
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 1: I have the next selection as well, and I will

834
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 1: go with let's check in. I gotta I got a

835
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 1: message for you. We got a message, hopefully not from

836
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:30,280
Speaker 1: his son stealing more money from the wallet. There. Hey, guys,

837
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: Larry Wesley. As the NFL heads into Week nine, the

838
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 1: real question on everyone's mind is what's up with Tim Wesley?

839
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:40,279
Speaker 1: I mean, he made the pick last week? But is

840
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,319
Speaker 1: he too good to get on the podcast and say

841
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 1: it himself. I know you guys have been clamoring for him,

842
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 1: and the listeners have been screaming out, Timber, why have

843
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:52,479
Speaker 1: you forsaken us? Is he somehow locked in his one

844
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 1: bedroom Ivory tower and the sky with no cell phone reception?

845
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 1: Is he drowned in a bottle of something about football,

846
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 1: his tears after the Bengals off the Dan's loudy jet.

847
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 1: I guess it'll remain a mystery anyway. We're taking the

848
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:15,319
Speaker 1: Cardinals deep into the interpersonal spider web that is the

849
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:18,439
Speaker 1: Westling fit and Greg deeper and deeper well, and Greg

850
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 1: greg like has been complaining for weeks and weeks that

851
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:24,840
Speaker 1: whoever he locks someone else like pulls him down. If

852
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna know, and not pulling me down, I'm pulling

853
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:29,879
Speaker 1: everyone else down at this point. But it's just nice

854
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,359
Speaker 1: going in if you have your own game. I like that.

855
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 1: All Right, there you go. So the Westlings are in

856
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 1: on the Cardinals. The better hope Colin Murray starts as well.

857
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if they considered that part, but in

858
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:44,279
Speaker 1: the place, sometimes I feel like the actual picking of

859
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,720
Speaker 1: the games a secondary at this point for the Westling brothers.

860
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 1: It's a settling of scores on a weekly basis. My

861
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:52,879
Speaker 1: second pick I have the Snakes will be Vikings at

862
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 1: Ravens in the early games. Um Vikings bitterly disappointing Halloween

863
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 1: Night game against the Cowboys and the offense could not

864
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 1: get it go and the clamps were put on Kirk Cousins,

865
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: who was all sorts of fired up. You could you

866
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 1: could argue with perhaps Kirk Cousins a little on tilt

867
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:13,360
Speaker 1: on Sunday night, Justin Jefferson was negated. Davin Cook didn't

868
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 1: have the huge game that I thought was in play

869
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 1: potentially coming off the bye. So they're three and four

870
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 1: and in desperate need of a W. And now they

871
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 1: go to Baltimore team coming off there by, a team

872
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 1: that is obviously been banged up and ripped up by injuries.

873
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:31,879
Speaker 1: You talked about it, Greg that you thought Baltimore needed

874
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: to make some reinforcements at the deadline. That didn't really happen, didn't.

875
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:37,799
Speaker 1: I don't know if did they do anything. I don't

876
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,319
Speaker 1: think they made a move anything. It was a little

877
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:42,319
Speaker 1: bit of a quiet deadline. So the Ravens say, this

878
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 1: is who we are. We're gonna coach these guys up.

879
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 1: We're gonna lean on our depth and uh, coming off

880
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:50,319
Speaker 1: of by I kind of like the Ravens at home here,

881
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 1: um not breaking news there, no, and there they do

882
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:57,720
Speaker 1: have some good injury used Nick Boyle, who smarter people

883
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:00,200
Speaker 1: than I always, Hey, that's the best block tight end

884
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 1: in the league that that guy makes their running game go.

885
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,359
Speaker 1: But even even like the Belichicks of the world love

886
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 1: shouty out how this guy might be the best blocking

887
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:11,760
Speaker 1: tight end. It might be back. Sammy Watkins might be back.

888
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 1: Defensive line is still injured, and I thought it was

889
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 1: notable when they lost their right tackle McCary last week

890
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 1: because the line really fell apart against the Bengals, And

891
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 1: that might still be a situation. But when these two

892
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 1: teams play, there's such opposites in terms of how they

893
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 1: try to throw the ball. As much as I like

894
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, you gotta look at the how he's done

895
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 1: this year. You gotta look at the stats of I

896
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 1: know you like a dot dan so I love average

897
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:39,360
Speaker 1: depth of target. No one throws deeper in the NFL

898
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 1: by far than Lamar Jackson. I think two yards on

899
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 1: average per throw more than anyone else, which is outrageous.

900
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 1: I mean, they are a bombs away offense. He was evolved.

901
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 1: Cousins is the total opposite. He is throwing the ball

902
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 1: um as short as he ever has in his career,

903
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 1: and I think the shortest of any starter right now

904
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL, which when you got Justin Jefferson and

905
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 1: Osborne who can run a little. You'd like to see

906
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 1: them stretch it out. I don't know if that's going

907
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,319
Speaker 1: to be enough for them. I I hate this for

908
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:07,719
Speaker 1: the Vikings to lose to Neil Hunter because they were

909
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 1: they led the league in sacks or they were second

910
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:12,400
Speaker 1: in the league. And you know Jackson has been susceptible

911
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:14,799
Speaker 1: to that. The Bengals punished him last time we we

912
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 1: watched them play. And the Vikings have scored under twenty

913
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 1: points in three of their last four games. Seven against

914
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:24,240
Speaker 1: the Browns, nineteen against the Lions. That's ridiculous, and sixteen

915
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:26,759
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys. Like do they they've We've talked about it.

916
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:29,799
Speaker 1: When they've been good, they've been watchable, they've been in

917
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 1: a flow, and they've been dangerous. And there are other

918
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 1: numbers to look at with Kirk Cousins where he's got

919
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 1: like a at this point a fourteen a two touchdown

920
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:41,319
Speaker 1: interception ratio and leads the league with the sixty nine

921
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 1: completion percent. I mean, it's like there are things that

922
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins is doing that are that check out, But

923
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 1: then they go to sleep for long drives at a

924
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 1: time identity is shifting, and I don't know if it's

925
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:56,319
Speaker 1: necessarily a good idea. I mean they since Cook really

926
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:58,320
Speaker 1: took hold as a star, they were a run first

927
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 1: team and then you know Cousins would uh do his

928
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:04,799
Speaker 1: thing when necessary and he would have good numbers and

929
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 1: Cook would have great numbers in the offense would be good.

930
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: But look at last week for example, for example, cook

931
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 1: Um had eighteen carries for seventy eight yards against Dallas.

932
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 1: I don't know he's got They gotta run the ball

933
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:19,279
Speaker 1: more with Dalvin Cook and that's in that game. He

934
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 1: is the best player on your team. And eight weeks

935
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 1: into the season this per ESPN, the Vikings ranked nineteenth

936
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 1: and the number of runs called per game down there.

937
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 1: They're terrible at it there twenty nine in in e

938
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:35,479
Speaker 1: p A and running like they haven't been effective well.

939
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 1: But do you think that's that's something that is going

940
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 1: to go through the whole season. I mean, you have

941
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 1: a special talent, great games at it too. It's weird,

942
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:44,880
Speaker 1: but they've been bad at it for whatever reason. I

943
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 1: just don't think that's the reason to go away from

944
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:49,319
Speaker 1: it and become a past first offense because I don't

945
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 1: think that's the best version of who they are. Can

946
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 1: I can I read you a quote that I saw

947
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 1: about Cousins from Zimmer this week. The quote actually wasn't

948
00:45:58,040 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 1: from this week, but it is the first time. I

949
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 1: says from a couple of weeks ago. Because they asked

950
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 1: Mike Zimmer the Athletic, if he if they thought that

951
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins wanted more say in the offense, you know,

952
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:15,240
Speaker 1: anything you say right now, I'll believe um, he said.

953
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:18,880
Speaker 1: I think he does. I think he's got opinions on

954
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:27,239
Speaker 1: a lot of things these two talk about. Like that's

955
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 1: a real Ricky Greg dynamic. He's got opinions about a

956
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 1: lot of things. Imagine being Kirk Cousins. To hear you

957
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:41,839
Speaker 1: that that's maybe equal to what Odell Beckham's senior did

958
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 1: to Baker Mayfield. Could be you know a little more subtle.

959
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 1: That's like very close. It's a it's a kissing cousin

960
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:51,839
Speaker 1: if you will to opinions are like asked, everyone has one,

961
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 1: Like that's basically what he's saying, Like your opinion doesn't

962
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 1: his opinion. Yes, he's gonna talk, but I don't listen

963
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:00,840
Speaker 1: because I don't like the guy and he's behind a

964
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:03,439
Speaker 1: PLEXI class. You know, Wall, one of these guys got

965
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 1: to write a book, I would read it. All right,

966
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 1: let's move on. I am a and I'm taking an

967
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:14,320
Speaker 1: early game, and I am excited to take the Falcons

968
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:19,279
Speaker 1: in the Saints first game without Jamis Winston. I'm just

969
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 1: curious what this team is gonna be. Like I always

970
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:27,279
Speaker 1: think this rivalry, Uh, it is fantastic, long said, the

971
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:29,880
Speaker 1: best rivalry I thought in the NFL. The teams aren't

972
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:31,799
Speaker 1: quite where they should be. But you guys used to

973
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 1: give me grief. West would give you grief. I remember,

974
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:35,960
Speaker 1: like the fan in terms of the fan base, is

975
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 1: truly hating each other, and they actually play memorable games

976
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:42,799
Speaker 1: almost every year. Uh, it's a fun rivalry. And you know,

977
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:44,879
Speaker 1: Saints fans are gonna be juice s up. They don't

978
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:47,919
Speaker 1: seem like they're that worried about Jamis Winston being gone,

979
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 1: but I am. I think it's I think it's a

980
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:51,920
Speaker 1: pretty big downgrade. And I think the news that Michael

981
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:55,280
Speaker 1: Thomas is not returning this year is a huge letdown.

982
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 1: It started with some sort of mismanagement and lack of

983
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 1: trust between the Saints and Michael Thomas. Uh. During last

984
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 1: year when he played through this injury and it continued

985
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 1: into this offseason, and you've basically now wasted a couple

986
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 1: of years of Michael Thomas's prime. Whoever's fault that is,

987
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't care, but it puts a

988
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:18,279
Speaker 1: ceiling on this offense. I'm really surprised that there's whispers

989
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:21,480
Speaker 1: this could be Trevor Simeon's job, which it's like you're

990
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 1: paying taste something all this money. He was the one

991
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 1: with the competition. Something has changed in that building. We'll see,

992
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:28,919
Speaker 1: though it could just be a head fake. Sean Payton

993
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:30,759
Speaker 1: has been pretty good at those over the years, So

994
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 1: I'm waiting until Sunday to find out. I've said how

995
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 1: I kind of enjoy this this Falcon's experience somewhat. So

996
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 1: I'm just curious what this game is gonna be like.

997
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:41,319
Speaker 1: I think it's if anything, I mean, we're gonna see

998
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:43,360
Speaker 1: the way it Tastom Hill has been used before to

999
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:45,880
Speaker 1: be used again, which is a big dose of him

1000
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:48,919
Speaker 1: along with Trevor Simeon, like a platoon of both of them.

1001
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:51,799
Speaker 1: I'm with Dan, I think that they've probably come to

1002
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 1: the conclusion, like do you hand the offensive over to

1003
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:56,000
Speaker 1: Taystom Hill alone for the rest of the season. The

1004
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 1: weird thing is I think at this point because I mean,

1005
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:01,400
Speaker 1: Trevor Simeon is not some er options, I like SIMI

1006
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 1: human in Denver, but it's been a while and he

1007
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 1: didn't look great. I didn't. I know. They won that game,

1008
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:08,880
Speaker 1: but it was a tough situation. And like this matchup,

1009
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:11,799
Speaker 1: for instance, great offensive line for the Saints, great defensive line.

1010
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:14,360
Speaker 1: You should just be able to destroy the Falcons upfront,

1011
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:16,239
Speaker 1: kind of like Carolina did a week ago. Like play

1012
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:19,359
Speaker 1: to your strength. Yeah, like our excitement, and I think

1013
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 1: Greg we shared that to some degree that with what

1014
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:24,359
Speaker 1: we had seen three weeks prior with Atlanta fizzled up

1015
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 1: entirely against Carolina, who had come completely outmuscled him and

1016
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:30,280
Speaker 1: ran the ball NonStop. And you could see the Saints

1017
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 1: almost saying, we'll do the same thing. And you know,

1018
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 1: just to put a little timeline on the Michael Thomas thing,

1019
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:39,680
Speaker 1: because it's easy to forget now that in two thousand nineteen, uh,

1020
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 1: you know, pre COVID, so everything feels like it's really

1021
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:44,719
Speaker 1: long ago, but it wasn't long ago. He set the

1022
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:47,000
Speaker 1: NFL record with a hundred forty nine catches and then

1023
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 1: I remember the week one podcast of the season. I

1024
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:53,040
Speaker 1: remember talking about it, uh not here in the old

1025
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:56,920
Speaker 1: studio or actually was in our homes um and saying

1026
00:49:56,960 --> 00:50:00,080
Speaker 1: that Michael Thomas heard his ankle in Week one. We

1027
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 1: don't know the severity. He was being chased around the

1028
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:05,680
Speaker 1: locker room by the athletic trainer who wanted to look

1029
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:08,080
Speaker 1: at his ankle, but he wasn't uh you know, he

1030
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 1: didn't want to get it looked at yet, and that

1031
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:13,600
Speaker 1: was the injury that bothered him for the rest of

1032
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 1: that year. That led to the late surgery in June

1033
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:21,120
Speaker 1: that now has completely wiped out his one So it's essentially,

1034
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:22,879
Speaker 1: as Greg said, wiped out two years of his prime.

1035
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:26,000
Speaker 1: He's gonna be twenty nine next year with a potentially

1036
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:28,719
Speaker 1: chronic ankle issue. So this might be kind of the

1037
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:31,480
Speaker 1: end of Michael Thomas as a star player. And that's

1038
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:35,239
Speaker 1: pretty crazy him in New Orleans. But they have like

1039
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 1: so if you go look at his contract, I mean,

1040
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:40,279
Speaker 1: there's legit dead money attached to him for like the

1041
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:43,080
Speaker 1: next three years. So it's it's it's a sticky situation

1042
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:45,880
Speaker 1: and the relationship between the player and team that I

1043
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 1: mean even even though they said it was smoothed over.

1044
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 1: Has always been a little bit dicey there too. No,

1045
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:53,359
Speaker 1: he was sending out tweets like calling people snakes, and

1046
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:56,920
Speaker 1: it sounds like he played through the injury for the

1047
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:58,959
Speaker 1: right reasons. He wanted to try to help Drew Brees

1048
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 1: his final year. And then it got real sideways once

1049
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:04,320
Speaker 1: we got to this offseason. He was not taking phone calls.

1050
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:07,120
Speaker 1: It's a lot, all right, Mark, you are up. Well,

1051
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:10,359
Speaker 1: I'm doing this strategically because I've got a game I'm

1052
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:12,840
Speaker 1: gonna be hyper focused on. I will be hyper focused

1053
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:14,919
Speaker 1: on this because I'm professional as well. But it's gonna

1054
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:18,879
Speaker 1: be Buffalo at Jacksonville then of that, No, I mean't

1055
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:21,839
Speaker 1: think it's just like we've all said that. Greg talks

1056
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:23,640
Speaker 1: about like this, you gotta knock it out. If you

1057
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:26,680
Speaker 1: gotta knock out every game, then make your secondary game.

1058
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 1: You know, this is a little spicy to me because

1059
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 1: I find the Jaguars just to hold Jaguars experience. Um.

1060
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:35,280
Speaker 1: Every week there's some new, some new explosion that happens

1061
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 1: to some team. It feels like it could always be Jacksonville,

1062
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:41,120
Speaker 1: and I kind of enjoy watching the visage of Urban

1063
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:43,319
Speaker 1: Meyer on. No matter what's happening in any game. At

1064
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 1: this point this season, there is no reason for Buffalo

1065
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:49,120
Speaker 1: not to go in and completely control this game, take

1066
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:51,919
Speaker 1: it out on Jacksonville, and run away with it. Their

1067
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:55,680
Speaker 1: defense is that, you know, there's nothing that Jacksonville is

1068
00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:59,200
Speaker 1: doing on offense that suggests they can give the Buffalo

1069
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:01,280
Speaker 1: any sort of a problem here. I think Trevor Lawrence

1070
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 1: is stuck in a tough situation, uh, in an offense

1071
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 1: that to me feels to be lacking an identity like

1072
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:11,200
Speaker 1: Laviska Chenault, like a great receiver. Where is this guy? Like?

1073
00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:13,600
Speaker 1: I like to use them more and I'm losing James

1074
00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:16,439
Speaker 1: Robinson last week killed them. This is a Buffalo game

1075
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 1: top to bottom. But there's one reason that I really

1076
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:22,920
Speaker 1: really like this. I am not locking I don't think

1077
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:25,920
Speaker 1: I'm permitted to lock it. And you were. You were

1078
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,880
Speaker 1: killing me for this coming out of the Cooper and

1079
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:32,560
Speaker 1: Cooper scenario in Dallas in Minnesota. But this is the

1080
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:36,920
Speaker 1: first time. Well, let's put it this way. Josh Allen

1081
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:41,840
Speaker 1: versus Josh Allen. Okay, if Josh Allen the Jaguars defender

1082
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 1: sacks Josh Allen, the Buffalo Bills quarterback. Since since Sachs

1083
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:50,360
Speaker 1: were even recorded back, there has never been an NFL

1084
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:53,200
Speaker 1: player to sack a quarterback with the same exact name.

1085
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:57,680
Speaker 1: So monitor this heavily, I will be Why is that

1086
00:52:57,719 --> 00:53:00,920
Speaker 1: not intriguing to you? On any Allen are involved in

1087
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:03,960
Speaker 1: a big play in this game and it's a score

1088
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:06,960
Speaker 1: a gummy Well, I will, I'll give you your problems

1089
00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:12,359
Speaker 1: has to be both that the probability of that does

1090
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:14,600
Speaker 1: not exist. Um, I don't know. And by the way,

1091
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:18,440
Speaker 1: you see that, you guys on Sundays, you guys try

1092
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:20,480
Speaker 1: to watch too many games. That's where you gets I don't.

1093
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:23,000
Speaker 1: I only watched too have too many screens. I don't.

1094
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:26,879
Speaker 1: So you're the mind is unable to process that much.

1095
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:28,920
Speaker 1: You have one game that's your main game. You have

1096
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:31,239
Speaker 1: a second game that you could clock in on and

1097
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 1: change the volumes and commercial breaks. And that's how you wait, wait,

1098
00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:37,120
Speaker 1: wait a minute, hold hold on. Mark has like the

1099
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:41,319
Speaker 1: Minority reports set up with Tom Cruise. I'm not able

1100
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:43,520
Speaker 1: to I'm not tracking every one of them. And you're

1101
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:46,600
Speaker 1: an intelligent man, but there's only a certain point you

1102
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 1: won't be able to track anything. If you're trying to

1103
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 1: track too much. My body my rights. I'll do what

1104
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:55,200
Speaker 1: I want to do. How about that? It works from

1105
00:53:55,200 --> 00:54:01,239
Speaker 1: it method. Don't get me started. On Sundays you mentioned

1106
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:10,360
Speaker 1: that it all is h a lot of it, yes, scific,

1107
00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:15,000
Speaker 1: I was. I was that was there was there was

1108
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:18,320
Speaker 1: this tweet going around yesterday. It was from wikiped or whatever,

1109
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:21,759
Speaker 1: and it was just it was like scientifically discrediting any

1110
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:24,600
Speaker 1: homeopathic or alternative medicines or else they just would be

1111
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:30,919
Speaker 1: called medicines. You know, you even it's like but it's

1112
00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:36,400
Speaker 1: like everything everything you say, Greg is like, this is

1113
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:38,600
Speaker 1: the best team in the NFL, or this is the

1114
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:43,200
Speaker 1: best get like you're so you know, with conviction, that's

1115
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:46,960
Speaker 1: a hundred percent. I was, I was thinking it from

1116
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:49,560
Speaker 1: from a funny tweet, I say, yes, I can't. I

1117
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:52,080
Speaker 1: can't find it. You mentioned the big point spreads earlier

1118
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:56,160
Speaker 1: teams with double digit point spreads. The favorites are nine

1119
00:54:56,200 --> 00:54:58,640
Speaker 1: and five this year. So for the most part, when

1120
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:01,799
Speaker 1: you get these two touchdown, Pa, it's they're covering and

1121
00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:05,279
Speaker 1: this one seems too low to me. I mean, to me,

1122
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:07,600
Speaker 1: the Bills are maybe the best team in the NFL

1123
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:10,640
Speaker 1: and the Jaguars might be the worst team in the NFL.

1124
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:13,160
Speaker 1: I think they're right there with Houston because the defense

1125
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:15,880
Speaker 1: is so bad. As much as I love Gino, I

1126
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:19,160
Speaker 1: mean they made Gino look like you know, Joe Montana

1127
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:21,640
Speaker 1: out there last week. Tyrod let him up in week one.

1128
00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:24,560
Speaker 1: You know, Teddy lit like a lot of lower level

1129
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:27,319
Speaker 1: quarterbacks have lit this Jaguars team up. So Josh Allen

1130
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:29,560
Speaker 1: comes in and forget it and listen. Nobody cares about

1131
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:31,879
Speaker 1: your fantasy team. But you know a lot of people

1132
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:35,360
Speaker 1: have Stefon Diggs. So I'm just gonna say to Stefan Diggs, Hey, Steph,

1133
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:38,279
Speaker 1: how about a ten for one, forty and two. How

1134
00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:39,880
Speaker 1: about you throw one of those to us? Well, you

1135
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:41,879
Speaker 1: got it from Cole Beasley a week ago, so it's

1136
00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:43,879
Speaker 1: you know, I don't get I could get something from

1137
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:46,280
Speaker 1: cold Beasley. Yes you could if I get too close,

1138
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:48,160
Speaker 1: Yes you could. But he's not on my fantasy team.

1139
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:52,719
Speaker 1: Is let us move on? Mark Snakes? Well, you know

1140
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:56,040
Speaker 1: I'm I have to take the late game, uh, the

1141
00:55:56,120 --> 00:56:00,080
Speaker 1: last one remaining here, the Chargers at the Eagles. No,

1142
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:01,600
Speaker 1: I like it. It's good. I want to see how

1143
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:03,719
Speaker 1: the Chargers respond to what they've been through of late.

1144
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:07,120
Speaker 1: I thought that they were out coached by Bill Belichick's

1145
00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:09,040
Speaker 1: defense last week. You know, two years in a row

1146
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:12,480
Speaker 1: has made life tough on Justin Herbert um the Eagles.

1147
00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:16,239
Speaker 1: It's interesting because with all the uh, what did you

1148
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:23,280
Speaker 1: what was that, Herbie? It feels like a slightly disrespectful Okay,

1149
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:27,160
Speaker 1: Jonathan Gannon, the Eagles defensive coordinator, this may be kind

1150
00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:30,840
Speaker 1: of like where this defense in theory would work, because

1151
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:34,040
Speaker 1: it's what we saw before where Justin Herbert has struggled

1152
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:36,920
Speaker 1: in the last couple of games facing you know, seven

1153
00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:39,279
Speaker 1: plus defenders and coverage. That's what they've been doing to him.

1154
00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:43,759
Speaker 1: And you know his his interceptions almost five of his

1155
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:46,600
Speaker 1: of his six have come against non blitz Is. It's

1156
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:48,560
Speaker 1: it's just that they're putting people way out there in

1157
00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:51,960
Speaker 1: the secondary and and taking away options. And I I

1158
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:53,880
Speaker 1: if this Eagles defense is going to work at all

1159
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:56,920
Speaker 1: in theory that this strategy would work for them on

1160
00:56:56,960 --> 00:56:59,439
Speaker 1: that front, I don't trust that to occur. I think

1161
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:02,080
Speaker 1: this is where the Chargers need to have their comeback

1162
00:57:02,120 --> 00:57:04,239
Speaker 1: game because I still see this as a playoff team

1163
00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:07,480
Speaker 1: that is working through some kinks. Yeah, the Eagles keep

1164
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:11,800
Speaker 1: getting this opportunity to get back to somewhat some relevance,

1165
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:14,279
Speaker 1: and then they've usually fallen on their faces. You know,

1166
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:16,200
Speaker 1: the Raiders game a couple of weeks ago, a couple

1167
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:17,720
Speaker 1: times where they've had a chance that at least get

1168
00:57:17,720 --> 00:57:20,640
Speaker 1: back to within one game of five hundred. I don't,

1169
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:22,800
Speaker 1: I don't trust them. I don't. You know, when you

1170
00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:25,320
Speaker 1: have that big of an edge at quarterback, I start

1171
00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:28,280
Speaker 1: having to look for other reasons why the Chargers can't lose. Now.

1172
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:31,919
Speaker 1: Their offensive line has struggled with things. Uh the last

1173
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:35,360
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Really the right side collapsed pretty repeatedly

1174
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:38,160
Speaker 1: against New England. And you know, Philly's got the front

1175
00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:41,120
Speaker 1: to make some things happen. Dallas Goddard's certainly playing well.

1176
00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:44,200
Speaker 1: Last week. It was like a sports radio dream. Everything

1177
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:47,280
Speaker 1: Eagles fans have been asking for us more creativity from

1178
00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:51,160
Speaker 1: their defense, the run game. Jalen Hurts running work man.

1179
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:53,880
Speaker 1: He he's like Fields, He's not as good a runner

1180
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:56,240
Speaker 1: as Fields, But man, when Hurts is in the open field,

1181
00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:57,840
Speaker 1: like you just want him to do that more because

1182
00:57:57,840 --> 00:58:00,360
Speaker 1: he's so good at it. So I'm with I. I

1183
00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:02,600
Speaker 1: leaned Chargers in this game. That game for Philly was

1184
00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:04,200
Speaker 1: like a narrative killer because you're right, it was like

1185
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:06,840
Speaker 1: two thirty six yards rushing and all everything else that

1186
00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:09,760
Speaker 1: people were had their hair on fire. The antidote came,

1187
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:12,040
Speaker 1: but that I think that was fool's gold. Yeah, I'd like,

1188
00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:14,720
Speaker 1: you know, you want to see Justin Herbert shake out

1189
00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:18,080
Speaker 1: of this little mini slide and just show us that

1190
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:19,720
Speaker 1: it's a slump and have a big game here. They

1191
00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:23,080
Speaker 1: just did nothing on offense against Patriots. And I know,

1192
00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:26,000
Speaker 1: you know, when when Belichick cooks up a good game plan,

1193
00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:28,560
Speaker 1: he could shut down any anyone. But you know, he

1194
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:30,600
Speaker 1: had a hundred and forty three yards passing before that

1195
00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:32,760
Speaker 1: garbage time drive. And if you look at their week

1196
00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:35,560
Speaker 1: to week scoring on offense, they've been very hit or miss,

1197
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:38,040
Speaker 1: which I don't think anybody was expecting. But I think

1198
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:41,440
Speaker 1: they're okay. I think they'll take business here. And Greggy,

1199
00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:46,720
Speaker 1: you were up next after this break. All right, welcome back.

1200
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:51,880
Speaker 1: I'm jumping your baby. Oh, I'm jumping your baby. It's

1201
00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:56,960
Speaker 1: a jump baby. We're grabbing pats panthers y, so we're

1202
00:58:56,960 --> 00:59:02,080
Speaker 1: grabbing them. I jumped jump baby. That's too all right.

1203
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:05,720
Speaker 1: I'm not watching Texans at Dolphins. I would I don't

1204
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 1: wanna disappoint you. Because you won't believe me. But I

1205
00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:13,720
Speaker 1: was not drafting the Patriots because I don't want I

1206
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:15,960
Speaker 1: don't want their press. I don't want to distress. That's

1207
00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:19,919
Speaker 1: why I would have taken them from There's one fun

1208
00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:22,560
Speaker 1: game left. I personally, as a Patriots fan, kind of

1209
00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:24,280
Speaker 1: go every other week. I like to watch him on

1210
00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:28,919
Speaker 1: game pass. It's not a new and there's one very

1211
00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:31,320
Speaker 1: good game left though, you know, Greg, I don't know

1212
00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:33,520
Speaker 1: if you've noticed this season, I've been on the I've

1213
00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:35,440
Speaker 1: been on the Patriots. I like the Patriots. I know

1214
00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:39,320
Speaker 1: it's like, although you did lock against them, locked against them,

1215
00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:42,080
Speaker 1: But you know what, I learned a lesson there um

1216
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:45,960
Speaker 1: against them. I was like, I thought they were a team.

1217
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:48,479
Speaker 1: I think I thought they were frisky entering last week,

1218
00:59:48,520 --> 00:59:51,080
Speaker 1: but I thought I guess I learned that maybe I

1219
00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:53,360
Speaker 1: shouldn't be so high on the Chargers because I kind

1220
00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:55,680
Speaker 1: of got behind this idea that l A was going

1221
00:59:55,720 --> 00:59:57,640
Speaker 1: to shake off a bad game and kick a mass

1222
00:59:57,640 --> 01:00:00,680
Speaker 1: at home. But the Chargers let down there. So I'm

1223
01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:02,640
Speaker 1: moving off the Chargers and I'll tell you what, how

1224
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:05,960
Speaker 1: about this for a make good I gotta lock up

1225
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:11,480
Speaker 1: the Pats on the road in Carolina because I think

1226
01:00:11,600 --> 01:00:14,000
Speaker 1: and I don't know. I don't know if Sam Donald's starting,

1227
01:00:14,560 --> 01:00:18,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's he's got the shoulder injury,

1228
01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:20,960
Speaker 1: he's got a concussion, he's coming off. He J Walker

1229
01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:25,439
Speaker 1: was J Walker. And I can tell you this. I'll

1230
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:28,840
Speaker 1: tell you some advanced scouting the old Zeusler did over

1231
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:32,720
Speaker 1: the past thirty years. Bill Belichick knows how to UH

1232
01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:35,720
Speaker 1: coach against Sam Donald. So Sam Donald's a quarterback. I'm

1233
01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:38,840
Speaker 1: feeling real good about Belichick going down there and scheming

1234
01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:41,680
Speaker 1: up something to confuse a slumping Sam Donald. And if

1235
01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:44,880
Speaker 1: the if the kid from Temple's playing, oh my goodness,

1236
01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:47,480
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a blood bath. So I am feeling

1237
01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:49,960
Speaker 1: good about the paths I think. I thought it was

1238
01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:52,720
Speaker 1: interesting that mac Jones struggled as much as he did

1239
01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:55,080
Speaker 1: last week and they still found a way to beat

1240
01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:57,080
Speaker 1: a quality opponent on the road. That shows you that

1241
01:00:57,120 --> 01:00:59,720
Speaker 1: the Patriots are kind of putting something together here. And

1242
01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:02,240
Speaker 1: when you look at a muddled a f C wild

1243
01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:05,120
Speaker 1: card picture, I think the Patriots are gonna end up

1244
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:07,040
Speaker 1: in one of those spots. Gregg, and you're gonna get

1245
01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:09,640
Speaker 1: to watch a January playoff game. Um, get ahead of

1246
01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:12,160
Speaker 1: myself obviously, But I think the reason I think they

1247
01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:14,520
Speaker 1: will do that is these are the type of games

1248
01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:16,960
Speaker 1: they will take advantage of and take care of. A

1249
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:21,040
Speaker 1: win in Carolina, well, they're certainly improving on offense and

1250
01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:24,000
Speaker 1: possibly on defense. That was one of their best defensive

1251
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:28,640
Speaker 1: performances a year ago. I think Matt Rule has watched

1252
01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:31,360
Speaker 1: so much Bill Belichick over the years. He's such a

1253
01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:34,680
Speaker 1: fan boy. It's it's it's not weird, it makes total sense.

1254
01:01:34,720 --> 01:01:37,040
Speaker 1: He grew up as a Giants fan. He grew up

1255
01:01:37,480 --> 01:01:39,920
Speaker 1: as a kid. He's forty six years old now, so

1256
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:42,160
Speaker 1: that puts him at the age that he was watching

1257
01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:45,360
Speaker 1: the height of Bill Belichick as a defensive coordinator and

1258
01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:47,680
Speaker 1: when he's talking about like I just want to run

1259
01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:50,480
Speaker 1: the ball and play defense, like I believe him that

1260
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:52,880
Speaker 1: with the team that he has now, he thinks that's

1261
01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:55,840
Speaker 1: the best way to win. I'm sure Belichick enjoyed that

1262
01:01:56,040 --> 01:01:59,240
Speaker 1: tape last week, like watching the Panthers run forty seven

1263
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:02,520
Speaker 1: times and just impose their will on Atlanta, you know,

1264
01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:06,360
Speaker 1: up until the moment that that Stephon Gilmore made that interception,

1265
01:02:06,800 --> 01:02:08,560
Speaker 1: and then he's like, oh, yeah, that would be good,

1266
01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:15,160
Speaker 1: Like I, um, that was a final note. Yeah, it'd

1267
01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:17,560
Speaker 1: be like, oh yeah, wait oh the guy that said

1268
01:02:18,040 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 1: let me take on Kyle Pitts and then shuts Kyle

1269
01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:24,120
Speaker 1: Pitts down. I went, I'm you know, I missed Stephon

1270
01:02:24,160 --> 01:02:26,880
Speaker 1: Gilmore enough. I went back and watched those snaps from Gilmore.

1271
01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:29,240
Speaker 1: We got this nice little feature I gotta show you guys,

1272
01:02:29,480 --> 01:02:31,640
Speaker 1: And he's physical. He did a good job. He's only

1273
01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:33,560
Speaker 1: playing like twenty snaps and they said that might be

1274
01:02:33,600 --> 01:02:35,720
Speaker 1: the case again this week, which is a little weird.

1275
01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:37,800
Speaker 1: So he'll be like a tight end, third down type

1276
01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:40,720
Speaker 1: of stopper. But the way you beat Carolina in this

1277
01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:42,600
Speaker 1: pass rushes to run the ball at them. So I

1278
01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:45,280
Speaker 1: could just see a lot of running from both teams,

1279
01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:49,840
Speaker 1: and that tends to lead to like close games, long drives.

1280
01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:54,000
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I think the Patriots will win, but

1281
01:02:54,040 --> 01:02:56,400
Speaker 1: I could see you sweating out in a defensive type

1282
01:02:56,440 --> 01:02:58,320
Speaker 1: of game in the fourth quarter. Yeah, I mean, I

1283
01:02:58,320 --> 01:03:00,080
Speaker 1: think it's like I put a note like overrun are

1284
01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:03,800
Speaker 1: rushing attempts in this game? Nine D. I mean they

1285
01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:05,360
Speaker 1: both kind of want to do the same thing. Christian

1286
01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:10,680
Speaker 1: McCaffrey could be he will wait and see, but play Thursday,

1287
01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:13,360
Speaker 1: And uh, I just the thing with McCaffrey. If he

1288
01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:15,959
Speaker 1: plays this week, I would be stunned if he has

1289
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:20,800
Speaker 1: like a big workload. But again, they've botched Christian caffrey

1290
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:22,880
Speaker 1: for two years in terms of how to handle his health.

1291
01:03:23,360 --> 01:03:25,560
Speaker 1: Um so who knows how they're gonna play this. It

1292
01:03:25,560 --> 01:03:27,480
Speaker 1: would it would have totally surprised me if they gave

1293
01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:30,560
Speaker 1: him the ball thirty times. Also, that one's stunned me either.

1294
01:03:30,680 --> 01:03:33,760
Speaker 1: Although it's pretty apparent that Chuba Hubbard's a pretty good

1295
01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:35,760
Speaker 1: backup that you should have some type of a b

1296
01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:38,840
Speaker 1: attack if he returns. But we're not even sure he's returned.

1297
01:03:38,880 --> 01:03:41,040
Speaker 1: I think he's not going to because Matt Rule said

1298
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:43,560
Speaker 1: at the beginning of this week he was very open

1299
01:03:43,680 --> 01:03:46,280
Speaker 1: ended with it. He says, yeah, probably practice this week.

1300
01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:49,600
Speaker 1: He could return week nine or week ten, So it's

1301
01:03:49,800 --> 01:03:52,000
Speaker 1: very open ended at this time whether he's even I

1302
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:54,240
Speaker 1: mean with or without him. Like this is a team

1303
01:03:54,280 --> 01:03:58,080
Speaker 1: going through a complete metamorphosis on offense, Carolina, are you

1304
01:03:58,120 --> 01:04:00,440
Speaker 1: guys hearing that sorry to cut you off? Are you

1305
01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:05,480
Speaker 1: hearing the lock off we're about to have? Oh, I'm

1306
01:04:05,520 --> 01:04:09,160
Speaker 1: putting the tampose curse on the Panthers, which means the

1307
01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:16,240
Speaker 1: Pats will win. Wait no, yes, yes, baby, that's not

1308
01:04:16,280 --> 01:04:18,920
Speaker 1: a lock a lock off. Why I'm locking the Panthers

1309
01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:22,840
Speaker 1: taking Carolina because real life, in real life, the Patriots. Right, Oh,

1310
01:04:23,040 --> 01:04:27,479
Speaker 1: you dastardly woman. Yes, Jack, bring me a twenty dollar bill.

1311
01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:34,160
Speaker 1: Let's go. Let's go according to your like every team,

1312
01:04:34,880 --> 01:04:37,560
Speaker 1: every team I pick. Yeah, I can't. I'm so far back,

1313
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:40,680
Speaker 1: there's no chance. I don't love that mentality for America,

1314
01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:43,360
Speaker 1: but it makes some sense. Interesting, Is this put me

1315
01:04:43,360 --> 01:04:46,520
Speaker 1: in a good spot or a bad spot? Because only

1316
01:04:46,560 --> 01:04:49,440
Speaker 1: against Erica? But I'm not really going against her because

1317
01:04:49,560 --> 01:04:52,479
Speaker 1: she's actually locking the Patriots. No, no, no, no no.

1318
01:04:52,880 --> 01:04:57,080
Speaker 1: Everything every team I lock loses, so I lose. So

1319
01:04:57,160 --> 01:05:00,240
Speaker 1: I'm locking the Panthers. So the Panthers will see what

1320
01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:03,840
Speaker 1: you're saying. You'll wait your lock, you'll win your lock.

1321
01:05:04,080 --> 01:05:06,560
Speaker 1: We're up at the door number three. Be totally unconcerned

1322
01:05:06,600 --> 01:05:09,240
Speaker 1: with the entire thing and just do your business. Okay, Greg,

1323
01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:14,120
Speaker 1: there you go, Mark, What what are you saying? All?

1324
01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:18,080
Speaker 1: I have no idea? Forget about it? All right, Greg,

1325
01:05:18,120 --> 01:05:20,360
Speaker 1: you have the final pick of the draft. You could

1326
01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:24,040
Speaker 1: choose between the Texans and Dolphins. Battle, uh wanted sevens

1327
01:05:24,160 --> 01:05:27,040
Speaker 1: or the Broncos Cowboys. I think I know where you're going. Wait,

1328
01:05:27,080 --> 01:05:31,160
Speaker 1: did I miss the Raiders Giants being picked? That was

1329
01:05:33,080 --> 01:05:37,439
Speaker 1: like your Raiders were available. That's a good backup game.

1330
01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:39,880
Speaker 1: That was my plan all along. That was my weird

1331
01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:42,440
Speaker 1: times were watching the Raiders I don't know, and the Giants.

1332
01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:44,320
Speaker 1: I just watched them in prime time. I could use

1333
01:05:44,320 --> 01:05:46,280
Speaker 1: a little bit of a break for an extra day.

1334
01:05:46,440 --> 01:05:50,320
Speaker 1: I mean, Henry Rugs has since been released by the

1335
01:05:50,360 --> 01:05:54,400
Speaker 1: team since we last recorded. You know, it's it's a

1336
01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:57,600
Speaker 1: brutal story. I thought Rich Bisacchi and Derek Carr talking

1337
01:05:57,600 --> 01:06:02,240
Speaker 1: about everything, as you know, they were about as well

1338
01:06:02,400 --> 01:06:04,240
Speaker 1: spoken as you could be on it. I mean, it's

1339
01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:06,760
Speaker 1: bigger than football. He's not on the team. I don't know,

1340
01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:09,200
Speaker 1: there's not much more like to talk about with that.

1341
01:06:09,240 --> 01:06:10,960
Speaker 1: It's not like I mean, the guy like he was

1342
01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:13,160
Speaker 1: going to hundred fifty six miles an hour. That happens,

1343
01:06:13,200 --> 01:06:16,560
Speaker 1: Like there's nothing more you can say saying like that's horrible.

1344
01:06:16,600 --> 01:06:20,120
Speaker 1: Of course, it's horrible, Like we it's just traged believable

1345
01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:24,600
Speaker 1: when you kind of just factor everything the sadness of it,

1346
01:06:24,680 --> 01:06:27,760
Speaker 1: I mean, the fact that this woman. This woman dies

1347
01:06:28,240 --> 01:06:32,360
Speaker 1: just driving home to her parents house, Um, just minding

1348
01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:35,520
Speaker 1: her own business. It's just a terrible thing. And then

1349
01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:37,640
Speaker 1: for this guy to have so much potential in his

1350
01:06:37,720 --> 01:06:40,680
Speaker 1: life and and be so set up, um both from

1351
01:06:40,720 --> 01:06:43,120
Speaker 1: a professional standpoint and being able to help his family

1352
01:06:43,240 --> 01:06:45,760
Speaker 1: with the money he was going to make, and and

1353
01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:49,040
Speaker 1: he ruins his life. He takes a life, and it's

1354
01:06:49,080 --> 01:06:51,640
Speaker 1: all just I mean, it's one of the saddest stories

1355
01:06:51,640 --> 01:06:53,520
Speaker 1: in a long time. Yeah, it's like I think we're

1356
01:06:53,560 --> 01:06:56,480
Speaker 1: all completely on the same page and unlocked stuff that

1357
01:06:56,520 --> 01:06:59,440
Speaker 1: it's it is an immense the immense tragedy. He was

1358
01:06:59,480 --> 01:07:01,640
Speaker 1: the first wide receiver picked in last year's drill. And

1359
01:07:01,640 --> 01:07:03,680
Speaker 1: also you look at that, you know from a football

1360
01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:07,520
Speaker 1: angle that their draft is an absolute mess at this point.

1361
01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:09,280
Speaker 1: But that has nothing to do with with with what

1362
01:07:09,360 --> 01:07:11,680
Speaker 1: happened with Henry Ruggs. It's a total tragedy in the

1363
01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:15,120
Speaker 1: in the Raiders have been through so much this season,

1364
01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:18,200
Speaker 1: so much tumult. They do seem like a team that

1365
01:07:18,320 --> 01:07:21,440
Speaker 1: sticks together no matter what. I am locking up the

1366
01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:24,680
Speaker 1: Raiders in this game, Um, I'm not sure how I

1367
01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:27,640
Speaker 1: feel about that. That could change at this point between

1368
01:07:27,680 --> 01:07:30,800
Speaker 1: now and Sunday. But I something about the Giants. It's

1369
01:07:30,840 --> 01:07:32,680
Speaker 1: like there's always gonna be four or five people not

1370
01:07:32,760 --> 01:07:35,320
Speaker 1: in the lineup. They're getting a little bit healthier, they're

1371
01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:38,200
Speaker 1: they're they're a little spicy and dangerous too, and they're

1372
01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:40,360
Speaker 1: showing you things. And Daniel Jones feels like the real Doo.

1373
01:07:40,400 --> 01:07:43,040
Speaker 1: I think Patrick ram has did some nice stuff against

1374
01:07:43,040 --> 01:07:44,960
Speaker 1: the Chiefs as its defensive coordinator as well. But I'm

1375
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:47,680
Speaker 1: gonna go Raiders here. I mean that is it's a

1376
01:07:47,760 --> 01:07:50,720
Speaker 1: safe lock. But at the same time, there's so much

1377
01:07:50,880 --> 01:07:54,000
Speaker 1: going on with the Raiders right now before you factor

1378
01:07:54,040 --> 01:07:57,160
Speaker 1: in is it safe before you well, just on a

1379
01:07:57,200 --> 01:07:59,360
Speaker 1: five and two going against the two and six, but

1380
01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:02,360
Speaker 1: then the fact that they're traveling across country the Raiders

1381
01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:05,280
Speaker 1: typically aren't very good at that, and all the things

1382
01:08:05,320 --> 01:08:07,760
Speaker 1: going on behind the scenes has has has to have

1383
01:08:07,800 --> 01:08:11,360
Speaker 1: been a really difficult week in that building. Uh, the

1384
01:08:11,400 --> 01:08:16,960
Speaker 1: way things have unfolded, it's it's really uh man, It's right,

1385
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:20,240
Speaker 1: there's nothing You can just look at what Henry Ruggs

1386
01:08:20,360 --> 01:08:22,120
Speaker 1: if if you want too, meant to the offense, which

1387
01:08:22,160 --> 01:08:26,439
Speaker 1: I think is is worth mentioning how well he was playing.

1388
01:08:26,800 --> 01:08:31,200
Speaker 1: He he was easily their most you know, dynamic outside receiver.

1389
01:08:31,320 --> 01:08:33,439
Speaker 1: He's on pace for a thousand yards. He had been

1390
01:08:33,439 --> 01:08:36,000
Speaker 1: living up to kind of the promise that they expected

1391
01:08:36,040 --> 01:08:37,640
Speaker 1: in him, and so I don't he's not going to

1392
01:08:37,680 --> 01:08:41,240
Speaker 1: be an easy person to replace on the field either.

1393
01:08:41,760 --> 01:08:43,760
Speaker 1: Is worth mentioning? That said, when when the Raiders play

1394
01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:45,760
Speaker 1: against the team, I kind of look at the oppositions

1395
01:08:45,840 --> 01:08:48,920
Speaker 1: line play, like can they get after Derek Carr because

1396
01:08:48,960 --> 01:08:51,400
Speaker 1: that's kind of their weakness and then the Giants can't

1397
01:08:51,400 --> 01:08:54,800
Speaker 1: really and can they hold up against this really good

1398
01:08:54,840 --> 01:08:56,840
Speaker 1: Raiders pass rush. I don't know if the Giants can

1399
01:08:56,920 --> 01:08:59,960
Speaker 1: do that. I think the Raiders are are a much

1400
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:03,599
Speaker 1: better team, and I'm kind of with you. He might

1401
01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:07,320
Speaker 1: be returning this week. It sounds like Tony is probably

1402
01:09:07,320 --> 01:09:11,759
Speaker 1: a go. We don't, We're not. Goladay sounds less likely. Shepherds, Shepherds,

1403
01:09:12,320 --> 01:09:14,080
Speaker 1: They've got all this like that. It sounds like se

1404
01:09:14,200 --> 01:09:16,200
Speaker 1: Kwan could have been a false positive along with some

1405
01:09:16,240 --> 01:09:19,519
Speaker 1: other Giants players to their doctor Sills actually waiting on that.

1406
01:09:19,720 --> 01:09:22,160
Speaker 1: So there's a TVD right, There's a lot going on

1407
01:09:22,200 --> 01:09:24,600
Speaker 1: with them. But it's funny because we go through this

1408
01:09:24,680 --> 01:09:27,080
Speaker 1: every Thursday. It was like, which giants are playing, but

1409
01:09:27,120 --> 01:09:28,720
Speaker 1: you can't account for the giants who are all going

1410
01:09:28,760 --> 01:09:30,360
Speaker 1: to get hurt in the fourth in the first quarter,

1411
01:09:30,920 --> 01:09:32,639
Speaker 1: Like you can't. You can't like put that on the

1412
01:09:32,760 --> 01:09:35,760
Speaker 1: on the list, and that happens every week. It's really crazy.

1413
01:09:36,160 --> 01:09:41,679
Speaker 1: Uh let's see, yeah soon tested negative for COVID on Wednesday. Um,

1414
01:09:41,840 --> 01:09:46,360
Speaker 1: and then let's see, well they kind of they closed

1415
01:09:46,360 --> 01:09:49,120
Speaker 1: down the whole complex, can't practice. I don't know, Joe

1416
01:09:49,160 --> 01:09:52,400
Speaker 1: Judge doing press conferences in the parking lot. A lot

1417
01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:54,960
Speaker 1: of mess that year has been for them. Um, all right,

1418
01:09:55,200 --> 01:09:58,000
Speaker 1: let's go through the rest of the games. Yes, we'll

1419
01:09:58,040 --> 01:10:01,160
Speaker 1: start with the Broncos at the Cowboy is Broncos just

1420
01:10:01,200 --> 01:10:03,800
Speaker 1: straight away the face of the franchise, Von Miller. Now

1421
01:10:03,800 --> 01:10:06,280
Speaker 1: they go to Dallas to face a cowboy team that

1422
01:10:06,320 --> 01:10:10,800
Speaker 1: should have Dak Prescott back on the field. I don't

1423
01:10:10,840 --> 01:10:14,960
Speaker 1: like how this is gonna go for the Broncos. No,

1424
01:10:15,280 --> 01:10:17,880
Speaker 1: it should it should be terrible. And you know they

1425
01:10:17,920 --> 01:10:22,040
Speaker 1: got this one week break against Washington defensively, Um, the

1426
01:10:22,080 --> 01:10:24,880
Speaker 1: Broncos defense that is uh. And then you gotta go

1427
01:10:24,920 --> 01:10:27,200
Speaker 1: to Dallas. Now they're gonna be without Tyrone Smith. It

1428
01:10:27,240 --> 01:10:30,600
Speaker 1: sounds like, but Dak Prescott is gonna play and you

1429
01:10:30,680 --> 01:10:33,400
Speaker 1: just think that any team with a good running game

1430
01:10:33,520 --> 01:10:37,920
Speaker 1: can run through this Broncos squad. They just they're so

1431
01:10:37,920 --> 01:10:41,040
Speaker 1: soft upfront that you just figured Dallas is gonna be

1432
01:10:41,040 --> 01:10:43,840
Speaker 1: able to run for about And just when you think

1433
01:10:43,880 --> 01:10:46,519
Speaker 1: the offense for Denver maybe at least was getting healthier,

1434
01:10:46,920 --> 01:10:49,240
Speaker 1: you know, they got Judy back, they got Oakway, but

1435
01:10:49,360 --> 01:10:51,920
Speaker 1: I'm back. Uh, their left tackle Garrett Bowls is on

1436
01:10:51,960 --> 01:10:54,400
Speaker 1: I R now and no offense they're tight end got COVID,

1437
01:10:54,479 --> 01:10:58,120
Speaker 1: so even they're good kind of injury news on offense

1438
01:10:58,160 --> 01:11:00,360
Speaker 1: has been taken away. I don't I don't look up.

1439
01:11:00,360 --> 01:11:03,680
Speaker 1: The win over Washington is you know, just an invisible

1440
01:11:03,760 --> 01:11:05,439
Speaker 1: feather that no one needs to care about. I mean

1441
01:11:05,479 --> 01:11:08,240
Speaker 1: it was I think it was what the Broncos under

1442
01:11:08,280 --> 01:11:12,320
Speaker 1: Fongio kind of wanted to be, you know, smothering defense

1443
01:11:12,360 --> 01:11:16,000
Speaker 1: and just enough from Teddy Bridgewater. But it almost wasn't enough.

1444
01:11:16,280 --> 01:11:17,920
Speaker 1: There was enough hijinks at the end of that game

1445
01:11:17,920 --> 01:11:19,640
Speaker 1: where it was nearly just a loss. So it's like,

1446
01:11:19,720 --> 01:11:22,960
Speaker 1: I don't really trust Denver to do much of anything

1447
01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:26,040
Speaker 1: in Dallas is simply too overpowering. One last thing about

1448
01:11:26,120 --> 01:11:29,240
Speaker 1: Dallas just before we move on. Last week's game really

1449
01:11:29,240 --> 01:11:30,840
Speaker 1: showed me you want to you always. They're looking to

1450
01:11:30,840 --> 01:11:35,840
Speaker 1: give Mike McCarthy credit, and I think we should. Here's

1451
01:11:35,840 --> 01:11:39,000
Speaker 1: where the credit is. I love the philosophy in that

1452
01:11:39,040 --> 01:11:43,400
Speaker 1: game that they threw more than double the amount of

1453
01:11:43,439 --> 01:11:46,400
Speaker 1: twenty yard throws of Minnesota. They had more than double

1454
01:11:46,400 --> 01:11:48,519
Speaker 1: the amount of passing first downs, They had more of

1455
01:11:48,560 --> 01:11:51,720
Speaker 1: the double of explosive blazes with Cooper Rush. They were

1456
01:11:51,800 --> 01:11:54,360
Speaker 1: down in that game and they were letting Cooper Rush

1457
01:11:54,479 --> 01:12:00,000
Speaker 1: throw on traditional running downs like aggressive. Place that that's aggressive.

1458
01:12:00,120 --> 01:12:02,360
Speaker 1: That's like, hey, we believe in our backup and we

1459
01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:03,960
Speaker 1: know where our talent is. It's on it. I think

1460
01:12:03,960 --> 01:12:07,080
Speaker 1: that's also Kellen Moore. Sure, but you gotta give McCarthy.

1461
01:12:07,120 --> 01:12:12,240
Speaker 1: McCarthy has coordinator's cord, right. I'm saying he's he wants

1462
01:12:12,240 --> 01:12:14,680
Speaker 1: to be aggressive, I think offensively, or else they wouldn't be.

1463
01:12:14,920 --> 01:12:17,400
Speaker 1: It annoys everybody that hates Mike McCarthy, which is two

1464
01:12:17,400 --> 01:12:20,080
Speaker 1: guys in this room. But like, he's a great job.

1465
01:12:20,560 --> 01:12:24,040
Speaker 1: He's put together a good coaching staff. He's great, he

1466
01:12:24,080 --> 01:12:25,640
Speaker 1: knows how to do this, he knows how to be

1467
01:12:25,680 --> 01:12:28,280
Speaker 1: a head coach at this level. And they're thriving as

1468
01:12:28,320 --> 01:12:31,479
Speaker 1: a group. A collective group questions him, you thought he

1469
01:12:31,560 --> 01:12:35,360
Speaker 1: was hot from a certain anger for some reason. Questioning

1470
01:12:35,360 --> 01:12:38,400
Speaker 1: the Mike McCarthy experience coming into this season was not

1471
01:12:38,400 --> 01:12:41,040
Speaker 1: not just it's just a thing. It's a thing in

1472
01:12:41,080 --> 01:12:44,040
Speaker 1: the in football culture. It's like certain guys stink and

1473
01:12:44,080 --> 01:12:46,639
Speaker 1: are bad, and then when they have really good seasons,

1474
01:12:46,680 --> 01:12:48,920
Speaker 1: it's never them, it's the guys that are underneath the

1475
01:12:48,960 --> 01:12:50,200
Speaker 1: him and it's like, you know what it is, It's

1476
01:12:50,240 --> 01:12:53,519
Speaker 1: because he's because his biggest weakness is game management, and

1477
01:12:53,560 --> 01:12:56,600
Speaker 1: that's definitely like the easiest thing to pick on. He

1478
01:12:56,760 --> 01:12:58,920
Speaker 1: flamed out hard in Green Bay and then had this

1479
01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:02,920
Speaker 1: so called you know awakening during his year away. Uh,

1480
01:13:02,960 --> 01:13:06,160
Speaker 1: and he's coaching arguably the best team in football with

1481
01:13:06,360 --> 01:13:08,920
Speaker 1: I think two with with two coordinators who could win

1482
01:13:09,200 --> 01:13:11,880
Speaker 1: cost Coach of the Year. I mean, dan quinn has

1483
01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:15,080
Speaker 1: been a big difference. He did where they handed him.

1484
01:13:15,120 --> 01:13:17,639
Speaker 1: He is doing what you should do. He allocating well

1485
01:13:17,640 --> 01:13:20,840
Speaker 1: and do you think he ever has conversations with either

1486
01:13:20,880 --> 01:13:25,840
Speaker 1: of his cordination tower from where every tower and um,

1487
01:13:26,520 --> 01:13:28,720
Speaker 1: you could at least make the argument though that like

1488
01:13:28,840 --> 01:13:31,479
Speaker 1: go ahead, did he hire them because Jerry Jones kind

1489
01:13:31,479 --> 01:13:34,040
Speaker 1: of makes all the he hired Kellen Moore, it's not

1490
01:13:34,120 --> 01:13:37,600
Speaker 1: like McCarthy did. And then you know Jerry Jones, I

1491
01:13:37,600 --> 01:13:39,840
Speaker 1: would say, and he is giving Kellen Moore a ton

1492
01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:42,240
Speaker 1: of autonomy. We don't think sign of good. I would

1493
01:13:42,240 --> 01:13:44,479
Speaker 1: say this because we know exactly what's going on in

1494
01:13:44,520 --> 01:13:48,320
Speaker 1: the in the building. Obviously you guys do at least um.

1495
01:13:48,360 --> 01:13:51,120
Speaker 1: I will say this, maybe when we have our hot

1496
01:13:51,120 --> 01:13:54,920
Speaker 1: hot butt conversation next week's show for the coaches, we

1497
01:13:54,920 --> 01:13:58,920
Speaker 1: should have a conversation McCarthy because obviously he's not someone

1498
01:13:58,960 --> 01:14:01,479
Speaker 1: that's worthy of EVA being a head coach potentially right now.

1499
01:14:01,640 --> 01:14:03,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I think he has more This is a

1500
01:14:03,600 --> 01:14:06,120
Speaker 1: stroll man. I know it's not because I think he

1501
01:14:06,120 --> 01:14:08,160
Speaker 1: has more of a chance of losing his job after

1502
01:14:08,200 --> 01:14:10,479
Speaker 1: this year than um than you do. I think there

1503
01:14:10,520 --> 01:14:14,040
Speaker 1: is a chance. How many sandwiches I would be surprised

1504
01:14:14,080 --> 01:14:16,679
Speaker 1: at this point they've I mean, my, my. The only

1505
01:14:16,680 --> 01:14:18,960
Speaker 1: way that scenario works is if Kelln Moore is getting

1506
01:14:19,040 --> 01:14:21,680
Speaker 1: offers and Jerry just decides to make a change. It's

1507
01:14:21,680 --> 01:14:24,639
Speaker 1: like they lose in the divisional round and Kellen Moore

1508
01:14:24,720 --> 01:14:27,880
Speaker 1: gets offers and Jerry's like sorry, Mike. All right, let's

1509
01:14:27,880 --> 01:14:30,120
Speaker 1: take a break and then finish out. All right, here

1510
01:14:30,120 --> 01:14:35,400
Speaker 1: we go, Texans at Dolphins to one and seven's going

1511
01:14:36,120 --> 01:14:39,200
Speaker 1: we should put a clock on this. Let's do let's

1512
01:14:39,240 --> 01:14:42,760
Speaker 1: do one minute on this game? You start mark what

1513
01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:47,559
Speaker 1: game is it? I was texting Tyrod's back. That makes

1514
01:14:47,560 --> 01:14:50,400
Speaker 1: a difference, It really does. I was a little surprised

1515
01:14:50,439 --> 01:14:52,080
Speaker 1: that only made like a couple of point or two

1516
01:14:52,160 --> 01:14:54,439
Speaker 1: difference in the point spread. I was like, Tyrod's gotta

1517
01:14:54,439 --> 01:14:56,880
Speaker 1: be worth at least three or four over Davis Mills.

1518
01:14:56,960 --> 01:15:00,400
Speaker 1: He gives him a chance. Two most depressing teams in

1519
01:15:00,439 --> 01:15:04,200
Speaker 1: the NFC potentially, Yeah, the Dolphins are. I agree, the

1520
01:15:04,240 --> 01:15:07,720
Speaker 1: Dolphins have been hit by third down. I think if

1521
01:15:07,720 --> 01:15:12,120
Speaker 1: you're into analytic no, that like third down performance is

1522
01:15:12,160 --> 01:15:15,000
Speaker 1: not predictive year to year. The Dolphins are are a

1523
01:15:15,040 --> 01:15:17,639
Speaker 1: great example. They were first or second two straight years

1524
01:15:17,920 --> 01:15:20,679
Speaker 1: under floors and now they're twenty nine thirty on defense,

1525
01:15:20,960 --> 01:15:23,760
Speaker 1: but their stuff has not worked on third downs to

1526
01:15:24,280 --> 01:15:26,639
Speaker 1: You've had a rough ride this year, You've been dealt

1527
01:15:26,680 --> 01:15:30,360
Speaker 1: a bad home with all the Deshaun Watson stuff. The

1528
01:15:30,360 --> 01:15:32,000
Speaker 1: good news is he is not going to be in

1529
01:15:32,040 --> 01:15:34,160
Speaker 1: your building at least not for the next six months

1530
01:15:34,280 --> 01:15:36,920
Speaker 1: or so. So now is your opportunity to give yourself

1531
01:15:36,960 --> 01:15:38,960
Speaker 1: a shot to make a statement. And you don't get

1532
01:15:38,960 --> 01:15:41,599
Speaker 1: a better stage than home against the Texans, the worst

1533
01:15:41,600 --> 01:15:44,840
Speaker 1: team in football, kick some as they just they were

1534
01:15:44,840 --> 01:15:47,080
Speaker 1: not the worst team in football when Tyrod was on

1535
01:15:47,120 --> 01:15:49,200
Speaker 1: the field, when he was hurt against Cleveland in the

1536
01:15:49,320 --> 01:15:53,920
Speaker 1: early season work they were completely six great quarters. Whether

1537
01:15:54,040 --> 01:15:57,040
Speaker 1: that translates not, this team somehow seems worse, but we'll see.

1538
01:15:57,120 --> 01:15:59,160
Speaker 1: I just wonder if the Dolphins are also maybe like

1539
01:15:59,200 --> 01:16:01,639
Speaker 1: the perfect person to go deal with on that front too,

1540
01:16:01,640 --> 01:16:03,840
Speaker 1: if you're Houston, like Tonto is not their Ingram's not

1541
01:16:03,880 --> 01:16:06,080
Speaker 1: that you know they've lost some people too, all right,

1542
01:16:06,600 --> 01:16:08,479
Speaker 1: I think we got everybody. We got all the games,

1543
01:16:09,040 --> 01:16:13,080
Speaker 1: good stuff. Can check out the TNF recap uh that

1544

1557
01:16:59,640 --> 01:17:02,639

01:17:23,400 --> 01:17:25,720
Speaker 1: smart person. What how do you How do I handle Jack?

1564
01:17:26,120 --> 01:17:28,760
Speaker 1: I really think the sentiments really nice. But you gotta

1565
01:17:28,880 --> 01:17:30,559
Speaker 1: you gotta nip that in the body. Can't be going

1566

1572
01:17:47,080 --> 01:17:50,040
Speaker 1: like Erica as like a Catholic school nun in her

1573
01:17:50,160 --> 01:17:53,800
Speaker 1: former life, just wailing away on kids. You gotta just

1574
01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:57,240
Speaker 1: like going off. Is that was that your past? No? No,

1575
01:17:57,320 --> 01:17:59,240

1576
01:17:59,280 --> 01:18:02,639
Speaker 1: my mouth if I war, though, well really versus soap,

1577
01:18:02,680 --> 01:18:05,400
Speaker 1: which I don't remember actually, but hot pepper was brutal

1578
01:18:05,600 --> 01:18:07,680
Speaker 1: that that, Like my mom would chase us around and

1579
01:18:07,720 --> 01:18:09,800
Speaker 1: then she'd grabbed her cheeks and she push him together

1580
01:18:09,800 --> 01:18:12,519
Speaker 1: and she'd literally dump hot pepper flakes in your mouth

1581
01:18:12,560 --> 01:18:15,360
Speaker 1: and it burned like hell. They did that stuff in

1582
01:18:15,360 --> 01:18:18,760
Speaker 1: like medieval times to like punish people who stole fruit. Yeah.
