1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: Be Around the NFL podcast makes more money than Russell Wilson.

2
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: Welcome to another edition of the Around the NFL Podcast.

3
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: My name is Dan Enzas, and I am joined in

4
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 1: a hotel room filled with heroes Mark Seler, Chris Westling

5
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: and Greg Rosa Thalt. What is up? Boys? Hey? Dan? Oh? Right?

6
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:28,479
Speaker 1: Was not a lot of pop scratch. I might still

7
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: be jet lagged. Not a lot of zip on the

8
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 1: fastball there waiting Kershaw slider. A lot of people say

9
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: day two trickier, you know with the jet light. You're

10
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: just tired that first night. Now it's when the real

11
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: champions rise. I'm pitching from the stretch. I gotta go

12
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,480
Speaker 1: full wind up next time. We're here in Ricky Hollywood's

13
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,160
Speaker 1: hotel room, which is roughly twice the size of mine.

14
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: But that seems like something Erica would have plotted out

15
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: ahead of time. Good for her. Uh. And we are

16
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: getting ready for week six here in London. So excited

17
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: uh to have so many things coming up ahead for us,

18
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 1: including our Friday night live show. Uh. And then Sunday

19
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: will be at Tottenham Spurs Stadium, Hot Spurs, but that

20
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 1: you could say Spurs Stadium. You are Dan is all

21
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: over this city. Phrasing the terminology. You could say Tottenham

22
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: Hotspurs Stadium or Spurs Stadium, but don't call Tottenham Stadium,

23
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: and don't call it hot Spurs Stadium, and certainly do

24
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: not call it Wembley Stadium. I blew it in a

25
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: big spot on inside the huddle the Sky Sports show

26
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: we did with our friend Neil Reynolds, and sounded like

27
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: a dumb American. You said Tottenham Staium. You know there

28
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,839
Speaker 1: is another option. I've checked this out to Toddy House.

29
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 1: I don't believe that that use multiple time. Do not

30
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: use white heart lane. I've been warned not to use that.

31
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: But Toddy House totally clear and I'm using That's how

32
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: I phrase it from here until the end. So we're

33
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: here in London and we're going to be doing what

34
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: we always do on Thursday, which is go over each

35
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: of the games to be played on Sunday, Sunday, Sunday afternoon,

36
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: Sunday night, and then Monday night. Our good buddies Jeremy Bergmann,

37
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: who you might have uh seen in the two thousand

38
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: five film Kicking and Screaming. So the World. Ferrell, by

39
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: the way, the lesser Kicking and screaming the one that

40
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: is less witty, less scripted out. Jeremy is one of

41
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 1: the child actors in that film, and he is also

42
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: a Jets fan and a writer an editor for NFL Media,

43
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,399
Speaker 1: so he's helping us out along with our good friend

44
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 1: Eddie Spaghetti who's a Giants fan. They're handling the Patriots

45
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 1: Giants Thursday night game tonight in our mini pods, so

46
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 1: thank you to them for that. I'm sure it'll be

47
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: really like professional on balance with the Jets fan and

48
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: a Giants fan talking about the Patriots. I don't know

49
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: how you Patriots fans survive with all these hardships. Um,

50
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: but we will now cover all of the games and

51
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 1: as we do, uh, it is draft style. And this

52
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: is also the first week where we have, you know,

53
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 1: a legitimate bi sitch wation because there's four teams done

54
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: by Buffalo, Oakland, Indian Chicago, which means less games to

55
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: talk about, which means keep this thing on a ninety

56
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 1: minutes potentially it's in everything's in playing. I don't know,

57
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: we still have a lot of stories to unpact, you know,

58
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: from what was that bar last night? Sky took us

59
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: out afterwards the Lord Nelson, nice pub that could take

60
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: a solid half hour. Was John it up with some

61
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 1: sky management. I had noticed him scoring points left and right,

62
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: just a normal conversation in the bar, classic Westling hob nobbing,

63
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: working his way up the ladder. I have an update,

64
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: by the way, in the ghost situation, so I haven't

65
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: heard a ton more. But there was a little bit

66
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: in my hotel room, which again is a roughly a

67
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: quarter of the size of Erica's room. And I was

68
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: walking past our hotel um last night and I noticed

69
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: a plaque that commemorated a hotel that existed on the

70
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: very sight, excuse me, a hospital. They existed on the

71
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: very side of this hotel that existed from And this

72
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: is when it reminds you how much older this area,

73
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: this country is than the United States. There was a

74
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: hospital here from twelve forty seven to sixteen seventy six.

75
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 1: Now I want you to think about what a hospital

76
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,799
Speaker 1: was like in the year twelve seventy six. The the

77
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: the ooze that was coming out of people as they

78
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: slowly died, as their brains were cracked open to cure

79
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: the common cold, as people just withered away, and all

80
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: those ghosts they don't They don't, you know, just fly

81
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 1: off into the heavens. Some stay right here because they

82
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: have unfinished business and the right here in our hotel.

83
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: That is my new theory. You've cracked the case, because

84
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: you know, any any sort of breeding ground for disease death,

85
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: probably some very angry people that were sent. You know,

86
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: they sometimes treated those old hospitals as mental institutions on

87
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: the fly, so a lot of disturbed individuals, and they

88
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: wanted them misattempting to communicate with youth your pipes at

89
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: this point of female, how long is the average lifespan

90
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: of a ghost? Infinite? Well, really, if they if they

91
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: were there in twelve eighty seven and they can see

92
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: the modern medicine that's going on now, they're pissed back then,

93
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: back then, I don't know. If he's just Craigs thing

94
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 1: where he always kills old times, I don't know if

95
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: you remember back then, if a hospital was just a

96
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: place people would go there so that they could just

97
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 1: hit you with a hammer, that was it. You just

98
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 1: go there and they just hit you with a hammer

99
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: over and you're like, thank you very much, and then

100
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: you leave. Well that is not factual, by the way,

101
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: not infinite. If your job, this may be the ghost

102
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: picking you out because if you ease the ghosts pain Patrick,

103
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: well right, the reason it's still lingering and trying to

104
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 1: communicate with you. You You can't be blase and just go

105
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: to your podcast and go to the pub. You have

106
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: some you have another life mission to handle. Hire. It's

107
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: not just a bit. You have to do some kiss

108
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 1: the ghost. Now you gotta buy some clay. You gotta

109
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:02,679
Speaker 1: buy some clay, one of those popmakers, and then music

110
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: and it's all good. Alright. So yes, this is an

111
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: old hospital where you had to get the ooze out

112
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 1: and then die. Uh. Now it's a hotel. Let's get

113
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: to the games. I have the first overall pick this week.

114
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 1: Funny how that worked out. Um, which means snake style, Eric,

115
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: I know you have a drop ready for snake this week.

116
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: She doesn't have a microphone right now, so she's in

117
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 1: a tough spot if she didn't do her homework and

118
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: get the snake drop. She's also forty ft away from

119
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 1: us in this hotel room, which is the size of

120
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 1: a small factory. Uh, all right, I am going to

121
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: make my first pick and uh oh yeah, yep, I

122
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: got it. You gotta share it with the room, the fanfare.

123
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: I gotta wait, I gotta picture. I gotta figure out

124
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 1: the time situation. Here we are recording all right, here

125
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 1: is the first pick of the draft. Is a late game.

126
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: It will be played in the city where we usually reside,

127
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: but we're not there right now. The San Francisco forty Niners,

128
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: undefeated four no heading to the Coliseum to play the Rams,

129
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: who had half a bye week after their tough Thursday

130
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: night loss at the Clink on the Greg's airline missed

131
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: field goal, and um, I just think this is a

132
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: great game because the Rams, despite now having lost two

133
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: in a row, I thought they played pretty well in Seattle,

134
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: and I don't think that was a loss to to

135
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: hang your head about and panic over. I still think

136
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: there are concerns with this team. Um on offense, they

137
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: are um ranked fifth overall on offense, but the right

138
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: rushing and Todd Gurley. They made a conscious effort to

139
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: get him involved against the Seahawks early, but then at

140
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: the end of the game you again, you look at

141
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: the numbers, and he scored two touchdown again, but he

142
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: just doesn't look like Todd Gurley anymore. And I still

143
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: don't know if that's a rounding into shape thing. He

144
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: also has a thigh injury which has held him out

145
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: of practice this week. I don't know if that's gonna

146
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: be something that potentially keeps him limited or out of

147
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: this game. But I think this is a great game.

148
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: I think it's a close game. The Desert thinks it's

149
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: a close game. What do you guys think? I think

150
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: this is a concerning matchup for the Rams in the

151
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: sense that if you dig into PFF, they are below

152
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: the Bengals and below every other team in the league

153
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: in terms of their past blocking. They've had offensive line

154
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: issues this year. Jared Goff under pressure is not the

155
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: same guy. And the Niners defense, and it's not just

156
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: the Browns game is a legitimate operation, star studded front

157
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: four and they are dominating people. Bosa. Nick Bosa was

158
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: absolutely on fire last week against the Browns and holds

159
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: the highest pressure rate in the NFL right now. I

160
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: don't I don't love the matchup for the Rams, but

161
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: there are a kind of team that hangs around in

162
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: these games. At the same time, it's the ultimate test

163
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: there too. Biggest weaknesses are run defense and you're going

164
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: up against I think the toughest run game to prepare

165
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: for in the entire league. Especially with Tevin Coleman back,

166
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: he did add a little juice to that offense. But

167
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: they're they're good with whoever they have, And then they

168
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: have the forty Niners have the best pass rush in

169
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: the league, or one of them right now, and you're

170
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: going up against the rams biggest weaknesses, which is past protection.

171
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: The forty Niners are pretty banged up too, though. There

172
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: you are without Kyle Uschek for a month. That's a

173
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: pretty big loss. There without Mike McGlinchey, who's their best

174
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: offensive lineman at right tackle, probably their best run blocker

175
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: for this week and possibly much longer. They're without left

176
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 1: tackle Joe Staley. So they've actually done a really good

177
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: job all season battling through injuries. But these are a

178
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: couple of other big time losses for them, and I

179
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 1: just it's one of those things that I can't imagine

180
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: looking at the standings and seeing the Rams three games

181
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: behind and almost done in the division in the middle

182
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: of October. And so that's why I think the Rams

183
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: just somehow like kind of use all their big game

184
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: experience from the last couple of years and find a

185
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: way to win this. Well, they're talking like they're preparing

186
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:06,839
Speaker 1: as if Girly won't play. Brandon Cooks still in concussion protocol,

187
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: two of their biggest weapons against Do we think there's

188
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: any drop off to Malcolm Brown right now? I don't,

189
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: But they don't seem to trust Darrell Henderson as their

190
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: number two. So I don't know what Girly to me like,

191
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,719
Speaker 1: I admire the way he's running. He's still running people over,

192
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: just not running around them anymore. He's just not elusive

193
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 1: or explosive anymore. Niners. You mentioned they have injury issues.

194
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: They've only they had a bye week, the Monday night

195
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 1: game and now Sunday's game. So this is their second

196
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: game in about twenty one days. Uh so they should

197
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: be a feeling good, pretty fresh. The and the Rams,

198
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: like I said, they played last Thursday night. They get

199
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: the break. Brandon Cooks, that's something to watch. We were

200
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 1: at the Super Bowl and he was with the Patriots

201
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: when he suffered that nasty concussion. He's had several now

202
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: and he's starting to get into that uh area, which

203
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: you never like to see a player at. It's where

204
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 1: Jordan read is in Washington now where Austin Collier, Austin

205
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: Collie where you get to a situation where there might

206
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: be one more to come and then you can't play anymore.

207
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: So that's a scary situation. But uh yeah, the Niners

208
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: uh defensively are near the top of the league and

209
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: almost every relevant category. It's been an incredible star by

210
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: this team. So I think it's if this game was

211
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: in San Francisco would be very nervous for the Rams,

212
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: But the fact that it's in l A, the fact

213
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: that they're coming up back to back losses, I like

214
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: their chances. This is this is the rivalry we hyped

215
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: up two years ago. Kyle Shanahan his former assistant Sean McVeigh,

216
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: two of the most fun offensive minds. But it's kind

217
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: of taken this long for it now to be a

218
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,559
Speaker 1: meaningful matchup. I will say the forty Niners and some

219
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: of these games haven't mattered much, but have had a

220
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: pretty good track record under Kyle Shanahan moving the ball

221
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: against this Rams defense even when they were not as

222
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: good as they are right now. And Troy Aikman made

223
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: a really good point I think in the Thursday night

224
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: game just how chill Jared got fizz with pressure all

225
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: around him. On some hand, it's it's a good quality.

226
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: On the other, he just brought up how he's like

227
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: two lacks. He's like to just letting it all happen

228
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: around him when he and he gets crunched and he

229
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: loses the prototypical California Boys quarterback. But and he's so cool.

230
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: They're back in the pocket. But this is not the

231
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: team you want to be cool with when the Forest

232
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: Buckner and Nick Bosa are foot away from you. All right,

233
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: So I hit a grand slam there. That was Andrew

234
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 1: Luck to the Colts, number one overall, two thousand twelve.

235
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: Now the number two pick is where Greg goes r

236
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 1: G three. It seems like a great pick at first,

237
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: and then as we go on, it reveals itself to

238
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: be a huge, busy layered narrative here that you've been

239
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: thinking about in your mind probably for the last six hours.

240
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: Is offensive. This is an easy pick for me because

241
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: I think the best I think it's weird. I don't

242
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: even know what that means. Every week it's this. This

243
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,839
Speaker 1: is exactly like talking with a friend of yours, like

244
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: in high school, when like the Giants take so and

245
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 1: so it picked three, and your friend on the phone

246
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: is telling you we just nailed that draft. It's like

247
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 1: we're at we're a joke. Look, I'm willing. I'm willing.

248
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: But why am I drafting last on the snake to

249
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: two weeks in a row. I thought you drafted first,

250
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: less you did. Yeah, I'm gonna take Uh. I was

251
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,719
Speaker 1: thinking of taking the Browns if if ever, I was

252
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 1: going to take the Browns to be this week because

253
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 1: Sunday we're just gonna We're gonna be. We're gonna be

254
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: on TV the whole time on Sky Sports, so we're

255
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: gonna be watching a lot. But no, I'm still not going.

256
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: Still it is. I think Eagles Vikings is the next

257
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: biggest game of the week to Rams forty Niners. I

258
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: agree with Dan that that's the biggest one, but I

259
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: think Eagles Vikings is a little more desperate. And these

260
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: are two would be NFC Super Bowl contenders that I

261
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: think are both fully aware now five weeks into the

262
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: season that this year is going to be complicated. Uh,

263
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: there's no this is not gonna be a thirteen and

264
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: three Eagles season where they roll to a bye. The

265
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 1: Vikings have an even tougher route through the NFC North,

266
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: But I think they're both good enough to be a

267
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: Super Bowl type of team. So the fact they have

268
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:07,199
Speaker 1: to play each other this week in Minnesota, UH makes

269
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: it a really fascinating game. And the first thing I'll

270
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 1: be watching is just will will the Vikings go after

271
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: Philadelphia the way that you have to, which is throwing

272
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 1: the ball all over them. Forget running against them. They're

273
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: an amazing run defense. They're so good upfront. I know

274
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: you have Dalvin Cook and you're gonna keep monest with that,

275
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: but if you want to beat him, you let Kirk

276
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: Cousins throw the ball thirty five to forty times. And

277
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: if you can't win that way, then you can't win.

278
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: And enough different types of ways and you're not going

279
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: to be in the super Bowl. Oh my god, I'm

280
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: already in my own head with locks. Now you just

281
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: got in my head. I can't lock up the Vikings

282
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: said no on Kirk Cousins. I might be totally wrong,

283
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: been wrong many times, and locks. We're getting into history territory.

284
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: We had talked about over lunch yesterday, the idea of

285
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: staying in solidarity and locking up together, and West was

286
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: excited about out the Vikings, and I just I can't

287
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: trust Carson Wentz to go there and not get it done.

288
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: And and I don't trust Kirk Cousins because I love

289
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: your Kirk Cousins test, like, when do the Vikings. When

290
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: does Kirk Cousins win? It's at home against the crappy

291
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: team in the game, no one's paying attention to. This

292
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: does not check all the boxes. I had a revelation

293
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: somewhere in around week two where I just said, I'm

294
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: not gonna ever pick against the Vikings at home. I

295
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: just think they're a different team at home. Their defense

296
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: is so much better, They're running games so much stronger.

297
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: But Greg's right, if you're the Vikings, you look at

298
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: the Eagles defense and say, I don't even want to

299
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: try to run the ball, And then I'm also biased.

300
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: I like the Eagles. This is how I wanted to

301
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: play out, and so I'm start of presenting it in

302
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: my way, which is is no way. Uh correct you?

303
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: You you are really in your own head right now.

304
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: West told me because he said he said, this time,

305
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: I know what I want. This is my lock. I

306
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: feel so strong. You gotta go with your first instinct.

307
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: He kept saying that the Vikings I started doing five one,

308
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: and someone in this from started going six by the

309
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 1: way once too, and so you want you're threatening to

310
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: do that. I wouldn't touch this game with a four

311
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: thousand foot poll. I would not even touch it from

312
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: a lockstairs. The world hold on. The Eagles are the

313
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: team I've been waiting for to hit a steady streak

314
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: and show us who they are. They have knocked out

315
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: the Redskins and Jets. They lost to a bad Falcons team.

316
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: They got nipped by the Lions. I know they were

317
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: banged up in that game, and they took out the

318
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: Packers on the road. I cannot figure out week to

319
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: week who they are. Carson Wentz has had more drops

320
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: than any quarterback in the league right now. To Sean

321
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: Jackson still not in this game. It sounds like he's

322
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: not gonna be playing again. Miles Sanders comes out of

323
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: last week. I like him some weeks. He has one

324
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: point seven yards per carry. They're trying to they the

325
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: coach talked a week about getting Jordan Howard more involved.

326
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. This feels like a total coin flip

327
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: game to me. Total coin flip. I'm not locking it.

328
00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: I don't think you should. If if they in the Vikings,

329
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: I mean that feels a little extreme great. I mean

330
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: I meant more mentally physically, you know, any other thoughts

331
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: about this game before we move on? Nice matchup though, Uh,

332
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cockoo is the second leaning rusher in the league.

333
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: The Eagles, no one's been better than them against the

334
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: run this year. Be goes. They're a little healthier. I

335
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: think is worth noting. You know, got it's back. Jeffrey

336
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: actually looked like Jeffrey a little bit last week. They

337
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: think Sidney Jones will be back. They have Grugier Hail,

338
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: which is not a huge player, but they they have

339
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: mostly gotten healthy. At some point they'll get Timmy Journ

340
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: again and Deshan Jackson back. All right, let us move

341
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: on now to the third overall pick. It his Mark Sessler.

342
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 1: What's he got? Well, I am gonna go Seattle Cleveland

343
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: because uh, I think it's going to be gone by

344
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: the next time. I'd come around. It's a good game

345
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 1: for everyone who's so down in the Browns, and that

346
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: would include me to some degree. I would think about

347
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: the fact that the last time these two teams met

348
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: it was Russell Wilson, not versed in em battled Baker Mayfield, who,

349
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 1: by the way, that whole handshake thing with the Russia

350
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: with Richard Sherman that I brought up in the last show,

351
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: I wish I could just erase that entire comment that

352
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: I made, because the whole thing turned into a ridiculous

353
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 1: soap opera. And it was he has and it's it

354
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: wasn't on Baker Mayfield and the And you can tell

355
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: now that the people would put the Browns on their radar.

356
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: I think these teams, and you understand why the same

357
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: way that teams put a Super Bowl winner or or

358
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 1: some sort of hot shot playoff riser, because they wanted

359
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: they wanted kill what was an annoying offseason narrative. I

360
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: think for thirty one other organizations in the league. The

361
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: last time the Browns played Seattle, this is how different

362
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: things are now and why you should not you should

363
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: have patients with the Browns as an organization in general.

364
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: It was Johnny Manziel versus Russell Wilson. How dark were

365
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: those times? This Browns team is incomplete, They are a

366
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 1: work in progress. This is a tough matchup but I

367
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 1: have this weird feeling that the Cleveland Browns are gonna

368
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: show up this week, and it's because Seattle is not.

369
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: Cleveland is going to lose. If they're gonna go eight

370
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: and eight or nine and seven, they're gonna get knocked

371
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: out by teams that can rush the passer, and that

372
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,479
Speaker 1: that I'm talking to like a team like the Niners,

373
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: some of these clubs that come in and they're gonna

374
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: make life very difficult on Baker Mayfield. I don't think

375
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: that's Seattle's strength on any level right now in terms

376
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,239
Speaker 1: of coming at you. And if Baker Mayfield can be

377
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: kept safe and they can get the run game going,

378
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 1: you can get something closer to what happened in Baltimore.

379
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: They're gonna be a week to week proposition and they

380
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 1: have a lot of issues, and Seattle, to me, is

381
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: a team that can travel on the road or go anywhere.

382
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 1: I love this team in general, but I think it's

383
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 1: gonna be a freaky little Browns tight. It's gonna be tight.

384
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: I don't see any other locking it up. I'm not

385
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,360
Speaker 1: locking it up because it's a it's a strange, very

386
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 1: bizarre game, but I don't think Cleveland's just gonna shut

387
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: it down for the year and give you ten more

388
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty Niners performance. And you look at their

389
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 1: schedule there two and three, which is not the end

390
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 1: of the world, certainly not in their division. But if

391
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 1: they can't find way to beat the Seahawks at home,

392
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 1: they go into their by and then they go to

393
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: Foxborough and if they if the Patriots handed to them,

394
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 1: look out there in trouble. I'd say one thing though,

395
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 1: also again it's a long season. Look at the slate

396
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: after that, it is light, and it's just that everyone

397
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,479
Speaker 1: wants this team to go seven and oh and and

398
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: take the A f C without any questions. That's not

399
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 1: how this works. Well, they're the problem is their offense

400
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,679
Speaker 1: has been terrible. I mean, they've hit a couple of

401
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:29,640
Speaker 1: big plays, so it's more the underlying factors that they

402
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: don't It's not like they've had bad luck to be

403
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 1: two and three. They look like a two and three

404
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 1: team that could be one and four. They have the

405
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 1: twenty nine offense and d v o A right now.

406
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: The Bears, the Bills, the Bengals are among the teams

407
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: that have better offenses right now. And what The Seahawks

408
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: do well on defense. They're not a great defense, but

409
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: they just kind of make you go down the field.

410
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: They play pretty safe. You're right, it's not a great pastors.

411
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: What they do is they make you do nine play

412
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: drives and if you're a good offense like the Rams,

413
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: you end up putting up thirty. You could add more

414
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 1: on them. But every are the Browns able to do that?

415
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: That's what they haven't shown. They've hit some big plays,

416
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:05,679
Speaker 1: but they haven't shown that they can just kind of

417
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 1: stay in rhythm and on schedule and score. I'm with you,

418
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: I think it will come. This seems like a gun game.

419
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: That is a crazy game that comes down to the

420
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: last I think. To Dan's point, it is Cleveland. It's

421
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: a big game for them. If they could come out

422
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: and lay an egg, they're they're broken to Sunday and Greg,

423
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 1: I know you hate this, so maybe that's part of

424
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: the I'm bringing it up way too early m v

425
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: P talk. Russell Wilson's performance on Thursday, combined with Patrick

426
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: mahomes stumble at home on Sunday Night Football in primetime,

427
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 1: Wilson in the lead, that so fine, it's more like okay,

428
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: let's let's do a quote tweet tweet and put it

429
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,959
Speaker 1: on Instagram and it's like, no questions asked, Christian McCaffrey

430
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 1: is the m v P right now, It's like, okay,

431
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: how about eleven more games? Like two thirds of the

432
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: yea And it's like that's like when someone as home run,

433
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,959
Speaker 1: it's it's the first week of May and uh, you know,

434
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: it's like it's like, uh, just not is that guy

435
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: said that was? What was the fat panda guy in baseball?

436
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 1: Pedro Pablo Sandoval's got thirteen home runs and it's mate, Hey,

437
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, Pedro, he's the f VP.

438
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 1: Thank Joe. Alright, West, you're up. Um. One thing about

439
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield to me, when he came in last year

440
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: for Tyrod Taylor, the best thing about him was he

441
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: turned an offensive line that couldn't protect Tyrod Taylor into

442
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: an offensive line that protected Baker Mayfield as well as

443
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: any quarterback. And now it's the backslide. He's not dealing

444
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: well with the pressure. And you look at a guy

445
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: like Matt Ryan, that's a franchise quarterback even with the

446
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: rest of the offense falling apart around him. You get

447
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: the same thing every week. You don't get the same

448
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: thing out of Baker Mayfield. I don't think we can

449
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: call him a franchise quarterback yet. I think that's fair.

450
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: But I I just some simply unwilling to panic about

451
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield at this point. I agree with there's a

452
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 1: lot happening around on him, and you know it's I

453
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 1: pointed this out. I think with Chard Higgins was a

454
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 1: security blanket for him last year. And maybe it's a

455
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 1: case where you roll in and you catch a little

456
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: momentum and you don't know what you don't know when

457
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,880
Speaker 1: you're a rookie sometimes, and he's struggling, I think mentally

458
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: in pre snap and trying to figure out what defenses

459
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: are doing. That's yeah, that's a terrible job by Richard Sherman.

460
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 1: Terrible job. I don't even understand what how you think

461
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: you're going to get away. It sounded like he basically

462
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,439
Speaker 1: made himself believe that that actually happened to fire him up,

463
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,919
Speaker 1: because I think players get into a really crazy space

464
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: when they play football. That's essentially what he said. That's

465
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: to the point where he sort of believed his own story.

466
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: And then especially like right when the game's ending, like

467
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 1: he's still so fired up, he's like on another That's

468
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 1: the generous way to look at it. The other way

469
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:51,360
Speaker 1: to look at is that it was a good way

470
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 1: to get him in the middle of the news cycle

471
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: after that game, and then you wonder, is it a

472
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 1: la ravil magnifico? Has he been doing this his whole

473
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: career and only now as he caught are their lies

474
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 1: that can be uncovered elsewhere throughout his long run in

475
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 1: the league? Greg remember bringing the Heat, the book about

476
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: the likes one of the best football bucks ever Mark Bowden?

477
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 1: Was it? Andre Wall? Andre Waters? I think the Eagle

478
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 1: safety had an alter ego where he thought he was

479
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 1: a superhero every time he stepped on a football field,

480
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: and he convinced himself in his mind he was a

481
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 1: totally different person when he was on the field and

482
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 1: he was when he was off the field. I could

483
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 1: see like Richard Sherman doing that. Like Dan said, that's

484
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 1: a generous way to look at it. But alright, I

485
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 1: can't believe this game is still out there. I am

486
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 1: taking the Houston Texans at the Kansas City Chief pick.

487
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: Good pick, solid pick this week? How do you get

488
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:47,719
Speaker 1: more entertaining quarter quarterback play than this matchup. I am.

489
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 1: I am going back and saying I was wrong all

490
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: off season about the Texans, and dam was right. They

491
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 1: are fun to watch and I just should have trusted

492
00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:00,040
Speaker 1: their quarterback more. I think style wise, Deshaun Watson is

493
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,919
Speaker 1: the closest thing we have to Russell Wilson. I just

494
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 1: love the way he stays aggressive all the time. And

495
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 1: he gets him into trouble with Sax because he holds

496
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 1: the ball waiting for the big play. But at least

497
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: he's going for the big play. And I was so

498
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 1: impressed last week they get a big lead against the

499
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 1: Falcons and a lot of this is on the play caller,

500
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,919
Speaker 1: but but it's on the quarterback to staying aggressive. You

501
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 1: know a lot of guys just checked down with a

502
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: big lead, two touchdown lead to score lead, and Deshaun

503
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: Watson is still going down the field making big plays.

504
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: I love the way he plays, you know, it's great.

505
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: Dabo Sweeney, his coach at Clemson. One of my favorite

506
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: quotes since I've been in the NFL is when he said,

507
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 1: you know, passing on this guy's like passing on Michael

508
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: Jordan's and what you're saying, is that's Michael Jordan's hope behavior.

509
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 1: Ripped the heart out of the opponent. You know, don't

510
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: mess around, you know, Paul Paul with him, it's like

511
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,159
Speaker 1: in Swingers with your big bear clause. You know, I

512
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: wanna know, you gotta you gotta go for it. You

513
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: gotta take him out and be ruthless about it. And

514
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: when he gets hot, he can just devastate a defense,

515
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 1: says uh As. Dan Quinn understands that. I mean, he

516
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: also has you go you go back and look at

517
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson and what happened in the Jaguars game and

518
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 1: what happened against the Panthers, And it's been an up

519
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: and down passing offense, no doubt. And I flipped. I

520
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: flipped around to Kansas City, and I think sometimes the

521
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 1: Sunday night games can get a little lost in my

522
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: mind because we're all watching them again. At the end

523
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: of the game, there we go and but then the

524
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: Chiefs and I know they're banged up along the line.

525
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:31,959
Speaker 1: We're just dominated on both sides of the ball by Indianapolis.

526
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,919
Speaker 1: And it was just it was impressive to watch the

527
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: way that the Cults handled that and the matchup this

528
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: week because it's sort of the last guy you can

529
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 1: really count on that line right now. Mitchell Schwartz probably

530
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: gonna deal with J. J. Watt this whole game. I

531
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: know J. J. Watt isn't maybe the same guy from

532
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. They said it was from

533
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: a QB pressures standpoint, one of the greatest games of

534
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: his career last week. I just I think if you

535
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 1: you see what happens to to to any quarter back.

536
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: It even Patrick Mahomes when he's under darress the way

537
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 1: he was last week and and and then hobbling during

538
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: the second half, well, he he needs to have his

539
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: mobility to be Patrick Mahomes. West said it well, that

540
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 1: he's so good that maybe when he doesn't have his mobility,

541
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 1: he's only like a top ten quarterback, that's the six

542
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 1: or seventh best quarterback. But that's pretty big difference between

543
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 1: to me being the most consistent best quarterback in the

544
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: league to being mortal. This is a matchup where it's

545
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 1: kind of a circle the wagons game for the Chiefs.

546
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,199
Speaker 1: Sometimes you have to manage your season, and this is

547
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,679
Speaker 1: a tough spot for their season right now. Sammy Watkins

548
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: didn't practice wins that he might be out. Eric Fisher

549
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 1: is still out, and then most importantly, I think Chris

550
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: Jones could be one of the biggest injuries we've seen

551
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 1: in the NFL this season. I think he's as valuable

552
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: to his team as I would put him in the

553
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 1: top five defensive players in the league in terms of

554
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: if you take Chris Jones away, what do you have

555
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,239
Speaker 1: with the Chiefs? Because he's that good and he's not

556
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 1: gonna play this game. Tyreek Hill might return. There's so

557
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 1: many things going against the Chiefs, which is one of

558
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: the reasons you're gonna lock it out to lock them up.

559
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 1: Because I'm going to lock up the Chiefs at home

560
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 1: because when you have an opportunity to do that, I'm

561
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: just gonna trust in Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes to

562
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: somehow figure it out, even though I don't really feel

563
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 1: that good about it, because there's so many indicators kind

564
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: of pointing in Houston's way. Well, here's some news for you, uh,

565
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: as you can see, I have the same thing. I'm

566
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: gonna be locking this up, baby, because Greg and I

567
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 1: we've been notched top these standings at three and two.

568
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 1: It is I don't think this is look in the

569
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: mirror with no problem. Did the Texans get deeper by

570
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: the week that if they really do put it all

571
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: together in terms of plane consistently, than they are a

572
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: f C contender. They have about four or five weapons

573
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: right now on offense. But I just, yeah, I would

574
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 1: take in the Chiefs because it's Andy Reid and Patrick

575
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: Mahomes at home. I think it's Byron Pringle at home.

576
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: And when I have that situation that I just roll

577
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 1: with it. Greg's um. Gregg doesn't use the mirror test.

578
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 1: He says there's no reflection. He uses the desert test.

579
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: And this is an interesting week because there's only one

580
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: game that doesn't pass the desert test too if you

581
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 1: count Jets, Cows, Cowboys. Most of the games are very close.

582
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: Even this game I tested under seven would be the

583
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: test of six and a half or under. So um,

584
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: and we don't, you know, that's not what we do here,

585
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: you know we we we we wager saying, well, it's

586
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: less about the mirror and more about your guys mirrors.

587
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 1: I would have absolutely taken the Bears last week. Your

588
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: your mirrors, I knew would not have allowed it, and

589
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 1: so you saved me one last. Well, this has become

590
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: a ted extremporaneous let's just um J. J. Watt, according

591
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 1: to PF, earned the highest pass rush win rate thirty

592
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 1: nine point two percent of his entire career on Sunday

593
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: and his highest pass rush grade since two thousand fifteen.

594
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: So he is playing very well. It was such a

595
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 1: large sample size of pressures that he had too roughing

596
00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,959
Speaker 1: the passers in there, because eventually you're just gonna hit

597
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: a quarterback too many times for sure. All right, West,

598
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 1: it's snakes over to you, Ricky hit it. I'm going

599
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: Saints Jaguars for my second pick. Erica's amazing drop right there,

600
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: so good, incredible. Again, that pick is available for trade. Okay,

601
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: we can negotiate, like if you're not, you know, tied

602
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 1: up talking to Sky Sports management figures tonight again for

603
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: two hours plus. It's okay. I'm busy here. I'm climbing

604
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: the ladder. Wait, I was just talking to a guy

605
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 1: in a bar like I've been doing my whole life.

606
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: I'm not much for dark networking, don't you see? I

607
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: feel about darts today, Mark feels about all parlor games.

608
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you should be happy about darts because your wife,

609
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: Lakisha Wesley, pulled off the greatest upsets in Super Bowl three,

610
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,959
Speaker 1: hitting the bull's eye to win it at the edge.

611
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 1: She's known to hit a bulls eye or two. If

612
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: you had to watch before that, you wouldn't would have

613
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 1: been surprised. Wow, you just be smirched. My wife's starts

614
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,479
Speaker 1: skills a lot going on unless ten seconds or so.

615
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: Go ahead, West, Uh Saints Jaguars. I really I said

616
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: this after Sunday night that Sean Payton would be my

617
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: early vote for Coach of the Year, and then after

618
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: watching the way he's built Teddy Bridgewater's confidence, and it

619
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: feels like in a dream world, this is how every

620
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: coach would build a quarterback's confidence. You surround them with

621
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 1: good special teams, good defense, great offensive line, Kamara and

622
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas, and you let him eventually, after three or

623
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: four weeks, build up his confidence to the point where

624
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 1: he's taking chances downfield and it's starting to look like

625
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 1: the old Teddy Bridgewater. Again. Tough matchup in theory for Bridgewater,

626
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 1: but in reality it's not. The Jags defense needs to

627
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 1: be way better. They've kind of fallen apart this year,

628
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: and quietly they're a below average defense. Right now, Well,

629
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 1: their best player hasn't wanted to play the list and

630
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey might be back uh this week. Sounds like

631
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 1: he's practiced. This is great, by the way. So the

632
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 1: team finally says, we've had enough of this. B S.

633
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: You have a back injury. Go see a back doctor.

634
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 1: So this is from rap sheet. On the team's request,

635
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: he hops on a plane and visits a back specialist

636
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: and guess what, as soon as he gets back to town,

637
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 1: he's on the practice field. Because what do you think

638
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 1: the back doctor said, you fine, boy, get back on

639
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: the field. So now he has to play until he

640
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: comes up with another excuse. Now, that to me is

641
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 1: the funnest uh subplot subplot of this week. What is

642
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 1: the next Jalen Ramsey excuse not to play football? Well?

643
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: I think what if he plays this week? He matches

644
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 1: up against Michael Thomas, and that's an incredible That means

645
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 1: he doesn't he won't be able to think of an excuse.

646
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: And something is that even the best I don't Okay,

647
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 1: that's the best matchup, but Lattimore on DJ Chark is

648
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: pretty good. To Lattimore, the last two weeks has has

649
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: been incredible. But just to go further on the Jackson

650
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:03,479
Speaker 1: d aren't split. Yeah, Jack's offense right now is seventh

651
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: in d v O. A defense is twenty six. That's

652
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: kind of hard to believe. Godner Minshew, by the way,

653
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 1: has not really played at home except for that one

654
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: Thursday night game. He hasn't been able to field like

655
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: the Minsho many has been on the road and he's

656
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 1: done a nice job. But I feel like that crowd

657
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: and Minshew to get the formidable. They also they had

658
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: nine sacks that last time they were at home again

659
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: against Tennessee and locking up the Jaguars. That list. Wow,

660
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: I like that. This is the Saints defense though. I

661
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 1: think Saints defense travels well. It's just like one thing

662
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 1: and you just swiped your arm desperately. It's tough when

663
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 1: you're when you're owing five, you know you're Yeah, you've

664
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 1: got against the Saints a couple of times that the

665
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 1: Saints might have. Oh I forgot. That's why I wasn't

666
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 1: gonna lock up this game because Dud just locked up

667
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: against the Saints again. Going to win this game too,

668
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 1: but the Saints might have the best, Like, oh man,

669
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 1: what did I do? Leonard fot Maybe this is really

670
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 1: put yourself out there what you've done here? Alright, alright, Mark,

671
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: you're up. One question. Could Shot Khan trade uh Jalen

672
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 1: Ramsey to his Fulham soccer team for the rest of

673
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 1: the year just to end Jalen Ramsey's his all his

674
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 1: desires shut out, but he doesn't lose his property. And

675
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 1: then he brings the soccer team. Doesn't get any value

676
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 1: of property. And with is a soccer player going to

677
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: play on the Jaguars or something? What is he doesn't

678
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:39,399
Speaker 1: want to play football? That includes all football, just saying

679
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 1: get him out of the scene. All right, here we

680
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,879
Speaker 1: go my second pick. I am not interested in any

681
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 1: of these late games. They are they're stink fest for

682
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: the most part. Uh So I'm gonna go early again

683
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna go with the game that is the

684
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,399
Speaker 1: most interesting game to me of the week. And you're

685
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: gonna tell me it's a terrible pick. And then I

686
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 1: don't know how to process this and hire thing the

687
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:06,720
Speaker 1: Redskins that the Dolphins. I mean that actually I probably

688
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:08,839
Speaker 1: would have taken it. This is the best Dolphins game

689
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 1: of the year. It's got to be. It's the only

690
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 1: one that they really. I mean, it's the only one

691
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,800
Speaker 1: that's not pointless. What I hear over and over is

692
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:16,839
Speaker 1: everyone telling me the Dolphins are this is the week

693
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 1: that they're going to go in and drop a bomb

694
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 1: on the Redskins. I think it's the opposite. I think

695
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: Washington's defense is going to absolutely neutralize Josh Rosen the

696
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 1: entire Dolphins offensive line. I took a note last week

697
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 1: that the Redskins I thought had maybe the worst offensive

698
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: line performance that I'd seen all year. But then I

699
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: just forgot about the fact that the Dolphins exist week

700
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,919
Speaker 1: after week and they were on by These are two

701
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 1: terrible offensive lines, So that could equal some immense defensive

702
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 1: chaos for the Redskins, who I think are gonna make life.

703
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 1: They've made life tough on Brady, I thought early on

704
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 1: in that game last week, and now you're playing an

705
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:57,359
Speaker 1: absolute Roman stink fest in the Dolphins. So what did

706
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,919
Speaker 1: that happen? Can I say why I would never picked

707
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 1: this game and probably never watch it is what is

708
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 1: there to learn? What is it? Well, it's a big

709
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 1: game for the number one over I'll pick. I do

710
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,879
Speaker 1: find the Dolphins interesting because there's the whole this whole

711
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 1: idea of it's so weird, but you're interested by the

712
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 1: idea of what they're attempting to do. Ye how it

713
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: plays out for the actual humans doing it, how under

714
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 1: man they are. Like Taco Charlton can't even stay on

715
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 1: the Cowboys roster. He comes to Miami and he's their

716
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 1: number one defensive, number one defensive end in terms of snaps.

717
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 1: It's just strange. And then I'm interested in Josh Rosen,

718
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 1: who has made some throws and then has you know,

719
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: hasn't scored a point. Neither did Fitzpatrick in the second

720
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 1: half of games. That the problem with Rosen, and they

721
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 1: announced this week he's going to start the rest of

722
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 1: the year that that's the plan. He might get Albert

723
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 1: Wilson back this week, which helps. He doesn't know how

724
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: to manage the game, which is a pretty significant part.

725
00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 1: I think of a quarterbacks job, like you can kind

726
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: of tell the smaller things he does not excel at.

727
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 1: I derive a particular thrill in picking games that Dan

728
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 1: does not find enjoyable and then watching his head in

729
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 1: mind totally spin out of control because he's like, cannot

730
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 1: comprehend that I didn't take some four o'clock Fox game

731
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 1: with Roy and I'll watch it when I want to.

732
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 1: I we're not even gonna get to observe these games

733
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 1: the way that we normally do. We're gonna be in

734
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 1: a state of the chatter boxes. It's it's totally integrity

735
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 1: of the draft, though. You want to look at it

736
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 1: as if games that you would want to watch if

737
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 1: you can and Dolphins do this season. If the Dolphins

738
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: win this game at home, the talk becomes, oh my god,

739
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:38,840
Speaker 1: here they gotta beat the Bengals at home later in

740
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: the year, they gotta beat the Jets at home. Maybe

741
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 1: later in the year. Are they gottas That appeals to

742
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:47,840
Speaker 1: you that that will be the talk. I mean, I

743
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 1: find the Dolphins. There's so many fun things in the

744
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 1: league to talk about and think about why different people

745
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:57,919
Speaker 1: different preferences. Dan Okay to point in the second half

746
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:01,320
Speaker 1: correct eight one zip. Callahan said they're going to focus

747
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: on the running game much more now that he's the coach.

748
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:06,800
Speaker 1: We could go wrong, doptins. The Dolphins do have a

749
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: bye week coming, They're coming off a lot of time

750
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:12,320
Speaker 1: to prepare for the opponent. I don't doubt that that

751
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: the preparation happening in this Miami think tank right now

752
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 1: is going to be nothing short of devastating for them.

753
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,320
Speaker 1: How bad are the Redskins? Brother is the headline this morning.

754
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 1: Bill Callahan brings fresh attitude to Rensikins. It's like, okay, bro,

755
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 1: they're so bad that they started out as pretty big

756
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: favorites in this game and everyone the Desert, But maybe

757
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 1: that's not a good sign for them. If you if

758
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 1: the Desert sees he was essentially a field goal better

759
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,919
Speaker 1: than a team that's actively trying to lose every game,

760
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 1: You're doing something very wrong. All right? Up next, Greg Rosenthal,

761
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 1: Pick two? Is it now? Greg's draft board? I might

762
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: go kind of with the similar thing of Mark. I'm

763
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 1: gonna go late and just get my late game out

764
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 1: of the way. Falcon's Cardinal. Two bad teams This late

765
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 1: slate isn't uh too delicious, but I of the bad teams,

766
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,760
Speaker 1: these are two that I don't mind watching, especially the Cardinals.

767
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 1: The Cardinals are number one right now and run running

768
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 1: d v o A. They're adding new plays each week

769
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 1: where David Johnson and especially Kyler Murray and even Chase

770
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 1: Edmonds who's a nifty little player, have some fun play

771
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 1: and they're trying to find who they are and and

772
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 1: what I've learned by watching a lot of Falcons game,

773
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 1: if you have offensive troubles, just play the Falcons and

774
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 1: they will solve everything for you. So I actually think

775
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 1: this might be a Cardinals game that we expected all

776
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 1: year where it's thirty five to thirty one, because Atlanta

777
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 1: is going to score in this game too, and I

778
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 1: think there'll be a lot of a lot of scoring,

779
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 1: not much media, but I think there'll be some good play.

780
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,319
Speaker 1: Julio Jones is playing like Julio Jones this year. He

781
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: looks like still one of the best three wide receivers

782
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 1: in league. There's a lot to watch. I think you're right.

783
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 1: I mean, the Falcons just devastating week last week, allowing

784
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 1: nearly six hundred yards four hundred and twenty plus through

785
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:01,919
Speaker 1: the year, and the Cardinals you can see, and I

786
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 1: wasn't impressed with this offense at much at all over

787
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 1: early on because they just I wanted to see something

788
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 1: strikingly different visually, and it looks to me like just

789
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,840
Speaker 1: a lot of other football. But they are starting to

790
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:14,959
Speaker 1: allow Kyler Murray to run a little bit more. He's

791
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 1: using his legs. I think you know, it's easy to

792
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 1: forget that this is a guy that's only been in

793
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 1: the league for five weeks because he was just presumed

794
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 1: to be the starter who's going to produce right away.

795
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 1: Well he I think he's quietly been everything they could

796
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,359
Speaker 1: have asked for and there's a long way to go.

797
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,880
Speaker 1: But to me, this matchup, I'm maybe I may I

798
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 1: perhaps made the wrong pick by taking Redston stops. This

799
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 1: feels slightly spicy, but no, but here's the thing. Here's

800
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:45,800
Speaker 1: how this thing actually works. I can equally just watch

801
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 1: that with my eyes. At the same time, I could

802
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 1: be having drinks with Dr Chow and Sherman Oaks and

803
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 1: watched this game if I want to anythinking. I mean,

804
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 1: we are contracts to be in London to becovery in

805
00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,879
Speaker 1: the games. I don't think you can go chow it up. Well,

806
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: be doing that next week. When we did our Inside

807
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 1: the Huddle show with Neil Reynolds, as Greg mentioned earlier

808
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: on Sky Sports, he asked us about our biggest disappointments

809
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,840
Speaker 1: through the twenty you know, thus far in the season,

810
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 1: and for me, the obvious one would be my favorite team,

811
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 1: the Jets, But outside of that, the Falcons to me

812
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 1: are depressing, because that's it. They're super Bowl windows shut.

813
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 1: And if you were there and you were at that

814
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and you saw, or if you watch it

815
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 1: on your couch, how crushing that game was, and the

816
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:34,919
Speaker 1: fact that they were able to come back the next

817
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 1: year and still be relevant and even win a playoff game,

818
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: and now we've seen them degrade degrade further last year,

819
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 1: losing I believe nine games, and now this year one

820
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 1: and four and looking like they are uh, going nowhere fast.

821
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 1: It just again is a reminder why when you have

822
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 1: that opportunity, and this is this is not any you know,

823
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:59,240
Speaker 1: sports genius analysis, but it's just the reality of life,

824
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 1: with anything of life, when you have your opportunity, you

825
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 1: gotta strike and pounce on it. They didn't do it.

826
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,439
Speaker 1: And now it looks like that Ryan's young enough where

827
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 1: maybe they could rebuild around him again and take another shot.

828
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: But there's a better chance that that was it, and

829
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:15,720
Speaker 1: this this Falcons team, uh and this arrow will always

830
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 1: be remembered for that game and they don't get another

831
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:20,239
Speaker 1: shot at it. So that That's where I'm at with

832
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 1: the Falcons right now. There's just a tough watching, a

833
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 1: bit of a depressing watch, well, I think to put

834
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:27,839
Speaker 1: a stamp on it. Which are they even better than

835
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 1: the Cardinals? Who's the face? They might not win a

836
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:33,439
Speaker 1: road game all the year. I know what, I don't

837
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:35,799
Speaker 1: know that the Falcons are better than the Cardinals. That better?

838
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 1: I mean like the Falcons are would feel like a

839
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:39,800
Speaker 1: four and eleven, four and twelve, five and eleven operation

840
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 1: right now? All right, Uh, I'm up next, and I

841
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:47,279
Speaker 1: will take an early game because I uh, I'm gonna

842
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 1: be a little late game heavy. So I don't have

843
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 1: a great choice here, but I don't want to watch

844
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 1: the Bungles, So let's go with the Panthers at Bucks. Um,

845
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 1: you know we're gonna be there. What's that We're gonna

846
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 1: be there? Yeah? Yeah, that's good. Nan was not aware

847
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 1: that we were covering that game. That feels like where

848
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:11,839
Speaker 1: are all four of us? May have takes on, but

849
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 1: that that feels like one that's not eligible. It's like

850
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:19,240
Speaker 1: it's got to be a great home crowd in Tampa

851
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 1: the Pirates ship. You should not have said anything. I

852
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,879
Speaker 1: might have kept going, yes, this will be played at

853
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 1: Spurs Stadium, and uh we will do that sideline. If

854
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:38,439
Speaker 1: you're in the we're actually other parts of Europe. Yeah,

855
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 1: you can catch us with Hannah Wilkes, right, you've on

856
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 1: the sideline throughout the game, but you I don't know,

857
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 1: I don't I'm going to step in here from a

858
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 1: league perspective and say you've just is taking yourself out

859
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 1: of work. Essentially, you're like, we're all going to be watched.

860
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 1: I will be the one truly watching the game. Is

861
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:58,280
Speaker 1: how I'll be looking at it. Someone has to officially

862
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 1: cover it. That is makes sense. We have gone so

863
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 1: far from the the integrity of this process at this point. No,

864
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:10,320
Speaker 1: the killing for Dolphins Redskins and you're taking this is

865
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:13,239
Speaker 1: it's important to have eyes on this game, and I

866
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:15,840
Speaker 1: will have the eyes on the game. And it's a

867
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 1: It's a fun game because a couple of weeks ago

868
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 1: you would you thought this was gonna be a dog

869
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:23,879
Speaker 1: here in London, but instead you have the Panthers who

870
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:27,840
Speaker 1: were playing really well. Um, and obviously we know that

871
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:30,799
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, who you know, it's maybe a little bit early,

872
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 1: but when you look at the VP race, I mean,

873
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 1: and I know running back hasn't won this award since

874
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson, but Christian McCaffrey. Blah blah blah blah blah,

875
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:43,360
Speaker 1: but he's incredible. The Bucks defense can they handle McCaffrey.

876
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:46,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, but they did it last time. They

877
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 1: were the only team to do it all year. If

878
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,279
Speaker 1: you didn't watch that game, this is a game pass

879
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 1: game to watch. Christian McCaffrey gets better every week, and

880
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:56,239
Speaker 1: he is making moves that I'm not sure I've ever

881
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 1: seen running backs make. I'm a little nervous. He showed

882
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 1: up on the injury report with a BA and he

883
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 1: did that flip into the end zone last week. I

884
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:05,439
Speaker 1: hope he didn't jack himself up. He didn't finish that game.

885
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 1: He was Some of the mistackles he forced by the

886
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 1: Jaguars defenders were just incredible to watch. He when he

887
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 1: came in, I thought, Okay, Alvin Kamara is definitely better

888
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:20,160
Speaker 1: than Christian McCaffrey. The next year, two thousand and eighteen,

889
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 1: Camara is probably better than Christian McCaffrey. And then this year,

890
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, I don't think Alvin Kamara is better than

891
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 1: Christian mccaffy. I don't think he's playing better. Now, I'd

892
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 1: still take him here. Well, we'll see the Bucks shut

893
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 1: McCaffrey down. They they have a really strong run defense,

894
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 1: and they have other than that, like just a lot

895
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:40,319
Speaker 1: of hope and prayer on their defense. It's kind of

896
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:43,960
Speaker 1: a matchup like which team's scheme who has been covering

897
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 1: up for a lack of talent can do it for

898
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 1: another week, because I feel like Todd Bowles is just

899
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 1: throwing stuff against the wall, blitzing like crazy because he

900
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:53,360
Speaker 1: does not have players. If Shaq barrett as it doesn't

901
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:55,759
Speaker 1: have a pass rush, they don't have anything. And then

902
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 1: the Panthers have kind of done it the other way

903
00:45:57,520 --> 00:46:00,839
Speaker 1: around on offense, like scheming for Kyle Allen and doing

904
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:02,880
Speaker 1: a nice job. I think that like the Kyle Allen

905
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 1: game against the Cardinals, like the power of first impressions

906
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 1: that he played so well against an awful defense. It

907
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 1: maybe changed a little bit too much what people think

908
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 1: about him because he's had issues with fumble since I mean,

909
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 1: he's not protected the ball well and you can't roll

910
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:23,400
Speaker 1: a week to week losing. He's been like the reason

911
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 1: they should lose though I'm not I'm not putting them

912
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 1: together with I'm not He's not. It's been as good

913
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 1: as Gardner Minshew. I agree with that for sure. He's

914
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 1: not been as bad as Chase Daniel. Well, Chase Daniel

915
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:36,439
Speaker 1: is just a career backup at this point, Like there's

916
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:38,759
Speaker 1: still hope that Kyle Allen could be something more. I think.

917
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:41,439
Speaker 1: And it's been three games and you know they're they're

918
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:43,279
Speaker 1: getting more tape on them. They're going into a bye.

919
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 1: It would be interesting if they win this game there

920
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:48,800
Speaker 1: four and oh with Kyle Allen, you would think the

921
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:51,120
Speaker 1: bye might be a time you'd hear more about Cam

922
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 1: Newton coming back. Yeah, that's something to watch because if

923
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 1: they keep winning, and I know Allen, you know we're

924
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 1: just talking about it is not playing out of his

925
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,239
Speaker 1: mind or anything, would there be the temptation just to

926
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 1: keep not rock the boat? Let's say mind, yeah, my mind,

927
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:15,720
Speaker 1: my mind, all right, let's snake it. Ricky Dallas Cowboys

928
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:18,320
Speaker 1: and New York Jets. I got banged last week because

929
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:21,920
Speaker 1: I reached for my Jets thinking Donald would be back.

930
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 1: You know I wasn't the only one that reached thinking

931
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:27,320
Speaker 1: Donald would be back. It was Adam Gatee as well. Uh,

932
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:30,239
Speaker 1: and that led to more trouble with Luke Fawk, who

933
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 1: will never see again. By the way, I'll put a

934
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 1: sandwich out there if he ever takes another NFL snap.

935
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:43,839
Speaker 1: We had that with with Ryan Linley, Yes, and I

936
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:45,440
Speaker 1: think I thought we're going to find a way to

937
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 1: see Ryan Linley at some point never played again. That's

938
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 1: essentially though saying Sam Donald will play every snap for

939
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:54,920
Speaker 1: the rest of the year, which maybe it's not a

940
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:58,880
Speaker 1: Jetsy thing. That's true, and that's where the risk is

941
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:01,280
Speaker 1: and where maybe of the opportunity. But I would think

942
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 1: someone far enough to go get someone now that gives

943
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 1: you a better chance, go get a BRONC. Why did

944
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 1: he do it or another It was another mistake by Gaze,

945
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 1: who has not had a good start of the season.

946
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 1: But like I said, now we can begin to truly

947
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:20,360
Speaker 1: judge whether the Jets are gonna to be able to

948
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 1: improve the season, because now you're gonna have Donald. He

949
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:25,399
Speaker 1: had the symptoms of mono and the week one game

950
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:27,480
Speaker 1: against the Bills and then missed every game since. The

951
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:31,239
Speaker 1: Jets have lost games and not been competitive. So they

952
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:33,879
Speaker 1: get Donald back, who, in addition to being a far

953
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 1: superior pastor to Luke Fowk or uh Trevor Simeon, who

954
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:41,439
Speaker 1: was Luke Fowk like in his half before he blew

955
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 1: out his ankle against the Browns. Uh. Donald has got

956
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:48,440
Speaker 1: a better arm, He's more accurate, he's and most of all,

957
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:51,759
Speaker 1: he's able to read the field and read defenses and

958
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:54,800
Speaker 1: get into different types of plays and make things happen.

959
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:57,880
Speaker 1: That just there was The Jets had no chance on

960
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:01,760
Speaker 1: offense the last few weeks. So what are killing um

961
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 1: gays for not having the right backup quarterback and not

962
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:09,200
Speaker 1: choosing well or not choosing a better third string quarterback.

963
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 1: I guess you can get on them, but at the

964
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:12,960
Speaker 1: end of the day, now we get to see if

965
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:14,640
Speaker 1: they can move the ball. There was also supposed to

966
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:16,719
Speaker 1: get back Chris Herned in the tight end, but in

967
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:21,440
Speaker 1: pure two thousand nineteen Jets um circumstances, he pulled a

968
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:24,759
Speaker 1: hamstring running on Friday on his own and now he's

969
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:27,719
Speaker 1: week to week, so he's not coming back. They will

970
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:31,440
Speaker 1: be better, the Jets. Are they better to beat the Cowboys?

971
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:33,719
Speaker 1: I don't think so. But I think this is a

972
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:35,799
Speaker 1: game because I think Dallas is a little shook right

973
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:40,279
Speaker 1: now after what happened the last two weeks, especially what

974
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 1: happened in Big D. So I think that um this

975
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:46,320
Speaker 1: could be a closer game than the Desert believes. I

976
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:48,239
Speaker 1: don't think the Jets come at it with their first win,

977
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:50,640
Speaker 1: but I think Donald makes this game fun to watch.

978
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:54,360
Speaker 1: You rightfully talked about the theme of the Jets and

979
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:56,279
Speaker 1: everything that can happen and all the bad stuff, and

980
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:58,319
Speaker 1: it has been frightful, no doubt. I mean, if you

981
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:01,840
Speaker 1: if someone were to present you with a written script

982
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:04,400
Speaker 1: over the course of like fifteen pages of what's happened

983
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 1: over the first five weeks, you would have fainted and

984
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:08,919
Speaker 1: probably never recovered, and we would never have seen you again.

985
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 1: The show would have folded, our careers would have been

986
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 1: so I'm glad that didn't happen. But I mean, they

987
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 1: have scored twenty three points since Darnald, since Donald's been out.

988
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:18,400
Speaker 1: It's hard to do that. To be that bad in

989
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 1: the NFL, I've been historically awful, but at this point,

990
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:23,120
Speaker 1: I would say, if you're a Jets fan, you have

991
00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 1: to almost package all that hardship and sell it down

992
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:28,600
Speaker 1: the river, because this is what you signed up for,

993
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 1: and this this is the the other people believe too.

994
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:34,719
Speaker 1: For some reason, this is the Romo nance game, and

995
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:38,080
Speaker 1: the best thing that could happen is Romo. You know,

996
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:41,279
Speaker 1: waxing poetic about all the great things he's seen from

997
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 1: Sam Donald. No matter what's happening score wise in this game,

998
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:47,440
Speaker 1: you want to hear him see going off on how

999
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:50,319
Speaker 1: beautiful Sam Darnald looks in this thing that said, if

1000
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 1: Dallas lost to the Jets, they are done. In my book,

1001
00:50:54,680 --> 00:51:00,200
Speaker 1: you cannot go in and lose to the Jets. People

1002
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:02,800
Speaker 1: are being weird about the Cowboys. They're panicking for some reason.

1003
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 1: I didn't see that game last week because I was

1004
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 1: covering the other game, and I went back and watched it.

1005
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:09,759
Speaker 1: I didn't get the sense the Packers were the better

1006
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:13,440
Speaker 1: team the Cowboys. This idea that Mike Patton was eating

1007
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:16,279
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore's lunch. Give me a break. The Cowboys were

1008
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 1: marching up and down the field, but chunk plays in

1009
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:22,640
Speaker 1: the first half and uh Amari Cooper drops a touchdown

1010
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 1: right in his hands for an interception, and people acting

1011
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 1: like the Cowboys aren't moving the ball. He moved the

1012
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 1: ball for five sixty eight yards and are now the

1013
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:33,800
Speaker 1: number one offense in the league according to d v

1014
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 1: o A. Then they've got a tough matchup this week.

1015
00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:40,320
Speaker 1: I've been really impressed with how hard the Jets defense

1016
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:43,120
Speaker 1: has played. They've been a pretty good defense. Their tenth

1017
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:45,720
Speaker 1: and defensive d v o A. Neville Hewitt and Jamal

1018
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 1: Adams really struck me last week. It was twenty four

1019
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 1: to six. The Jets had just kind of lucked into

1020
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:52,680
Speaker 1: a touchdown where they got to turn over in a

1021
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 1: in an end around. The game's so over and I

1022
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:58,279
Speaker 1: think the Jets forced the three and out. I might

1023
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:02,280
Speaker 1: be missing a detail or two here. And Adams and Hewitt,

1024
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:04,279
Speaker 1: who have both played great this year, I don't know

1025
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:07,640
Speaker 1: where Nevill Hua came from, are jumping around and celebrating

1026
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 1: like they just won a playoff game. And they gave

1027
00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:13,080
Speaker 1: up seventeen points in about twelve or thirteen drives against

1028
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:14,520
Speaker 1: the Eagles, And if you really look at what they

1029
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:16,880
Speaker 1: did against Eagles, they've been a solid defense. And I

1030
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:19,600
Speaker 1: just I guess I'm impressed how hard they're playing when

1031
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:21,480
Speaker 1: they have no hope to win each And that's why

1032
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:24,160
Speaker 1: you can't ruin Jamal Adams. He's he's so pure, like

1033
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:26,400
Speaker 1: doesn't he doesn't matter how bad his team is. He

1034
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:28,440
Speaker 1: plays like that every week. And even though it's you know,

1035
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 1: you give some credit to Greg Williams for them playing hard.

1036
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:33,319
Speaker 1: I bet it is Jamal Adams. It's that it's a

1037
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:35,840
Speaker 1: leadership because they're not getting a ton. Lenny Williams had

1038
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:37,200
Speaker 1: a good game last week, but you know they're not

1039
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:39,000
Speaker 1: getting a ton from their defensive line. I just think

1040
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:40,759
Speaker 1: they've been active in it. So I don't think this

1041
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:45,040
Speaker 1: is Williams enough credit. I think he's a good defensive right.

1042
00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:49,520
Speaker 1: I think he has the right sort of coach and

1043
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:51,480
Speaker 1: he's got him coach up and C. J. Mosley, by

1044
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:55,440
Speaker 1: the way, who they gave a trillion dollars too. And

1045
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:57,480
Speaker 1: he left the first game of the season in the

1046
00:52:57,520 --> 00:53:01,000
Speaker 1: second half with a groin injury, and promptly the Bills

1047
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:03,839
Speaker 1: came back and beat the Jets, sending their season into

1048
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:07,239
Speaker 1: a spiral. He practiced the next week, I believe, and

1049
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:09,640
Speaker 1: then got ruled out and he's still out. They're coming

1050
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 1: off a bye, still out, and he won't be playing

1051
00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:13,520
Speaker 1: this week. So it turns out to be a growing

1052
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 1: injury that it could cost them half the season, if

1053
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:19,319
Speaker 1: not more. So they've been able to work around that. Uh,

1054
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:22,280
Speaker 1: they just need to show some um guts on offense

1055
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 1: and put up some points, all right, but by one

1056
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 1: on one concern though, is that Donald's still playing behind

1057
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:29,120
Speaker 1: an awful offensive line. It's it's gonna be a challenge.

1058
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 1: They tried it up, they tried to change it around

1059
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:33,719
Speaker 1: last week, and it seemed to play worst they I

1060
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:35,960
Speaker 1: think they've changed two of their starts. A major issue.

1061
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:40,880
Speaker 1: That will be, mark my words, the number one UM

1062
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 1: draft target. They might take two offensive linement in their

1063
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:47,000
Speaker 1: first two picks. All right, let's move on, Greg, you

1064
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:49,880
Speaker 1: have the pendultimate pick of the draft. Yeah. And because

1065
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:53,040
Speaker 1: you know I like um Chris so much, you know,

1066
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:56,399
Speaker 1: longtime friends. I'm just gonna leave the Titans Broncos game

1067
00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:58,759
Speaker 1: for him because that's the West Bowl. I mean, those

1068
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:02,040
Speaker 1: are his two favorite teams. They play the most boring

1069
00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:04,239
Speaker 1: brands of football in the league, and West just says

1070
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:06,200
Speaker 1: I need to have that game or else I'll hate you.

1071
00:54:06,239 --> 00:54:09,480
Speaker 1: So I will take Lamar going up against the Bengals.

1072
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:13,719
Speaker 1: I think Lamar in between hob nobbing and networking and

1073
00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:19,960
Speaker 1: handing up business cards. If Graham double crosses me, go ahead, Uh,

1074
00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:22,160
Speaker 1: maybe Lamar needs me. I had him the first couple

1075
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:24,319
Speaker 1: of weeks. It was it was delicious to watch him

1076
00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:27,239
Speaker 1: play live. Haven't watching the play live since. And they've

1077
00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:30,520
Speaker 1: been struggling, and this is great to play a Bengals

1078
00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:34,920
Speaker 1: defense that hopefully won't present too many problems. You get

1079
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:37,480
Speaker 1: Hollywood Brown and Mark Andrew's back involved. They've both been

1080
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:40,959
Speaker 1: very quiet the last three weeks. I'm not panicking about

1081
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:43,959
Speaker 1: the Ravens either. I think they're gonna be a little

1082
00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:46,560
Speaker 1: up and down. They're not a totally complete team, but

1083
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 1: they're the type of organization like the Patriots, who I

1084
00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:53,200
Speaker 1: think can figure things out as they go and potentially

1085
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:56,799
Speaker 1: have the talent to be much more dangerous in the

1086
00:54:56,840 --> 00:54:59,839
Speaker 1: middle of December than they've showed week to week. They've

1087
00:54:59,840 --> 00:55:03,640
Speaker 1: been very erratic, and they've been helped out enormously by

1088
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:07,040
Speaker 1: the scheduled Gods by playing Devlin Hodges and then the

1089
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 1: Bengals and back to back weeks get a win. This

1090
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:13,640
Speaker 1: is Lamar Jackson. This is big for your making the

1091
00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:16,759
Speaker 1: leap piece, because he's been a little hot and cold

1092
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:19,800
Speaker 1: the last few weeks. Throw out you know, a hundred

1093
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:22,920
Speaker 1: yards rushing, two hundred and seventeen yards passing, you know,

1094
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:25,279
Speaker 1: four total touchdown day. We're right back on the course

1095
00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:27,239
Speaker 1: with making the leap and you got the right set

1096
00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:28,919
Speaker 1: up for it. I mean his numbers if he pays

1097
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:31,560
Speaker 1: them out, are good, He's gonna he sort of was

1098
00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:34,719
Speaker 1: due to come back down to earth. I'm more interested

1099
00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:37,239
Speaker 1: to see if the Ravens, to uh, their defense did

1100
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:39,239
Speaker 1: a good job I think against Pittsburgh, and you should

1101
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:41,960
Speaker 1: This Bengals offense is very easy to shut down. If

1102
00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:44,680
Speaker 1: there anything like the Ravens defense should be, they should

1103
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 1: show well. The Bengals are an attack right now centered

1104
00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:51,600
Speaker 1: around Tyler Boyd. I mean, they're just it's kind of

1105
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:53,680
Speaker 1: like last year they got they they I'm not saying

1106
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:55,719
Speaker 1: they're even nearly as good as they started last year

1107
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:58,960
Speaker 1: that there they've been a total travesty, but injuries ravaged

1108
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:01,400
Speaker 1: the team last year and it's happen again. Can we please,

1109
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:08,239
Speaker 1: we are as we tape this, we are twenty in

1110
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:12,920
Speaker 1: the post. We are nineteen days away from the trade deadline.

1111
00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:15,399
Speaker 1: Can we get a J. Green out of town? Can

1112
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:18,000
Speaker 1: we send him to a contender? Can we see a G.

1113
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:20,920
Speaker 1: Green once he gets healthy, playing in games that matter?

1114
00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:23,160
Speaker 1: First round pick to the Patriots, Let's do it. I'm

1115
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:26,879
Speaker 1: with anywhere but the Patriots. Anywhere but the Patriots. Where

1116
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:28,799
Speaker 1: are you on the Patriots West? Because you obviously we're

1117
00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:32,799
Speaker 1: very outspell dead to me, I don't pick them. I

1118
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:35,919
Speaker 1: watched them last on game plays every week. I don't

1119
00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:38,360
Speaker 1: pick him in any of these covers. They are dead

1120
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:41,160
Speaker 1: to me. I don't respect their head coach anymore. That

1121
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:43,479
Speaker 1: was my question. So if you're new to the show

1122
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:47,480
Speaker 1: or perhaps don't remember this, West got very angry and

1123
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:50,719
Speaker 1: lost a lot of respect for Antona or for Bill

1124
00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:57,600
Speaker 1: Bell checking the Patriots. Now, the Patriots decided to bail

1125
00:56:57,880 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 1: and they said this isn't working, and they quickly got

1126
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:03,040
Speaker 1: out after one game. And I was just curious, because

1127
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:05,840
Speaker 1: we've never followed up on this, if that perhaps saved

1128
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:09,360
Speaker 1: your relationship. They get no credit whatsoever for bailing on

1129
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:12,360
Speaker 1: him when they should have bailed on him long before that.

1130
00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:15,040
Speaker 1: It took until there were rape allegations before they finally

1131
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:22,240
Speaker 1: washed their hands. And so I'm gonna counterfire, and uh,

1132
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:26,000
Speaker 1: with the math that Dan was doing fresh in my mind, alright,

1133
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:29,280
Speaker 1: bringing back up one of my favorite moments from last night.

1134
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:31,840
Speaker 1: We played some darts and in that dark game, we

1135
00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:34,680
Speaker 1: had too half. We had your your score was cut

1136
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:37,840
Speaker 1: in half every time you didn't score, And uh, I

1137
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:39,440
Speaker 1: really and we had to write it down, and I

1138
00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:43,400
Speaker 1: really enjoyed Dan putting that half of seventy six? Uh no, no,

1139
00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:46,320
Speaker 1: what was it was? Half of six? Was thirty nine?

1140
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:52,680
Speaker 1: Is that right? I was? And you said it was nineteen?

1141
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:54,919
Speaker 1: That was that was even lower? It was thirty six

1142
00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:57,640
Speaker 1: and you made half of it nineteen and appelling radio

1143
00:57:57,680 --> 00:58:03,040
Speaker 1: one oh one. No, I'm not good. After several drinks,

1144
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:06,040
Speaker 1: I get worse. I blew it in the big spot. Um,

1145
00:58:06,080 --> 00:58:09,400
Speaker 1: all right, let's see anything else in that game? No, right,

1146
00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:12,400
Speaker 1: I mean unless we want to delve even further off

1147
00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:18,760
Speaker 1: topic away from the Ravens. That's only That's the only true. Um. Now,

1148
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:21,720
Speaker 1: I think if if we were allowed to take the

1149
00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:24,880
Speaker 1: Cowboys for locks, I mean I'm taking them, but I

1150
00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:31,200
Speaker 1: didn't think that was allowed. Please, Cowboys were all all right, West, Well,

1151
00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:34,360
Speaker 1: it looks like I've got my dream matchup tightened that Broncos.

1152
00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:37,360
Speaker 1: The first quarterback not to take a third down sack

1153
00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:40,720
Speaker 1: in this game wins. This is the battle of third

1154
00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:44,120
Speaker 1: down sacks for both of these teams. Two poor, hideous

1155
00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:49,640
Speaker 1: offensive lines and two um boring quarterbacks to watch. Wow,

1156
00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:53,120
Speaker 1: that doesn't sound like you're that excited. I love watching

1157
00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:55,320
Speaker 1: games at that field, but no, I mean it is

1158
00:58:55,320 --> 00:58:59,080
Speaker 1: a grass field. Your confidence in the Broncos is pretty strong, though.

1159
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:01,880
Speaker 1: We were talking about this game off air yesterday and

1160
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:03,960
Speaker 1: you were just like, Titans aren't going there and winning.

1161
00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:06,840
Speaker 1: You know, well, I think that the Broncos are. They're

1162
00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:08,880
Speaker 1: not a better team than the Broncos. The Broncos are

1163
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:11,080
Speaker 1: one of those teams that's clearly better than their record,

1164
00:59:11,160 --> 00:59:12,840
Speaker 1: and I've been saying that all year. They have had

1165
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:15,160
Speaker 1: miserable luck. But do you think they're clearly better than

1166
00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:17,120
Speaker 1: the Titans. I don't. I kind of think they're similar,

1167
00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:20,160
Speaker 1: but I trust the Titans defense. I don't secondary Moore. No,

1168
00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 1: I don't think they're clearly better than the Titans because

1169
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:23,600
Speaker 1: I don't know who the Titans are. I just have

1170
00:59:23,680 --> 00:59:25,360
Speaker 1: no idea who they are from week to week except

1171
00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:28,160
Speaker 1: that their offensive line is miserable. I came close to

1172
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:31,960
Speaker 1: locking this game up for Denver because I like them

1173
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:35,520
Speaker 1: in their building, even though they've lost two games there.

1174
00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:39,720
Speaker 1: They've both been on field goals at the Gun and Tennessee.

1175
00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:42,800
Speaker 1: I don't ever trust them one way or the other,

1176
00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:45,440
Speaker 1: and they're on the road in a tough environment. But yeah,

1177
00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:48,080
Speaker 1: there's that the Titoons thing where you never know when

1178
00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:51,960
Speaker 1: they have the thirty one thirteen win up their sleeve,

1179
00:59:52,160 --> 00:59:54,800
Speaker 1: just to keep people invested a little bit and keep

1180
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:57,280
Speaker 1: them on the radar. That could certainly happen here and

1181
00:59:57,320 --> 01:00:00,720
Speaker 1: in general, especially on another uh on the topic of

1182
01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:03,880
Speaker 1: the five game lock losing streak. Locking up at one

1183
01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:06,960
Speaker 1: and four team just seems like bad business. Yeah, Philip

1184
01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:09,680
Speaker 1: Lindsay looked great last week. I think Courtland Sutton's developed

1185
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:11,840
Speaker 1: a lot. Well, it's not a great situation for him

1186
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:14,120
Speaker 1: in that offense. But you would have to shoot me

1187
01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:16,600
Speaker 1: with five thousand arrows before I lock up Joe Flacco

1188
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:20,680
Speaker 1: on the road or at home. So I'm with youll

1189
01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:24,400
Speaker 1: be a decision someone would make for me by raising

1190
01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:30,640
Speaker 1: my dad and their lip pick. By the way, just

1191
01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:32,760
Speaker 1: want to cycle back and take a look at my draft.

1192
01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:36,880
Speaker 1: Not only have I taken what you were well, no,

1193
01:00:37,040 --> 01:00:39,360
Speaker 1: this is this is this is another draft where I've

1194
01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:42,160
Speaker 1: won in the end in terms of our actual workload.

1195
01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:45,000
Speaker 1: You can get all excited about these games. I have two.

1196
01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:48,280
Speaker 1: I have two games. How is that possible? Because I

1197
01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:51,120
Speaker 1: have masterminded the process? Because you should have taken Denver

1198
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:53,960
Speaker 1: in Tennessee and I should have had absolutely not. So

1199
01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:58,720
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you once, I'll be roaming around that

1200
01:00:58,760 --> 01:01:02,479
Speaker 1: British stadium doing as I please. That is a snake

1201
01:01:02,560 --> 01:01:05,080
Speaker 1: got you. Sometimes the snake bites you, all right. That

1202
01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:12,280
Speaker 1: takes us to primetime football, starting with Sunday night Pittsburgh

1203
01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:15,480
Speaker 1: at Chargers. I can't believe they inflex out of this.

1204
01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:20,800
Speaker 1: I Greg, you're you're optimistic about all football teams, and

1205
01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:23,880
Speaker 1: he's just the general idea of football is always fun

1206
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:26,800
Speaker 1: no matter what to watch sport I can't. I love

1207
01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:29,000
Speaker 1: the sport. I have a love affair with the sport,

1208
01:01:29,080 --> 01:01:31,400
Speaker 1: but some teams I just don't get any joy out

1209
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:34,160
Speaker 1: of watching. As much as I respect Philip Rivers is

1210
01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:36,360
Speaker 1: a quarterback and he's a Hall of Famer, He's never

1211
01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:39,200
Speaker 1: excited me that much. And this year is not getting

1212
01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:42,080
Speaker 1: any better. I don't love watching the Chargers on game Pass.

1213
01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:45,080
Speaker 1: And now you got Duck Phillips. No, that's the mad

1214
01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:50,000
Speaker 1: Men character. Who's a Duck Devlin Devlin, Duck Hodges, Duck

1215
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:52,720
Speaker 1: Hodges going on the road. I guess there will be

1216
01:01:52,720 --> 01:01:54,560
Speaker 1: a lot of Steelers fans because it will be in

1217
01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:58,600
Speaker 1: l A against the Chargers, But I can't get excited

1218
01:01:58,600 --> 01:02:00,160
Speaker 1: about this. Tell me why I should get excited at it.

1219
01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:04,760
Speaker 1: This has been one of the toughest Chargers teams to watch,

1220
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:07,080
Speaker 1: so I agree with you. I think Rivers and Keenan

1221
01:02:07,080 --> 01:02:09,040
Speaker 1: Allen are always fun to watch. Rivers has always been

1222
01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:10,960
Speaker 1: one of my favorite quarterbacks to watch because of how

1223
01:02:10,960 --> 01:02:12,640
Speaker 1: he moves in the pocket and how he throws those

1224
01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:17,600
Speaker 1: mid range twenty yard throws with his funny, funky motion

1225
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:20,280
Speaker 1: and it's so pretty. No one plays, no one throws

1226
01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:22,720
Speaker 1: play football quite like Philip Rivers, and I like I

1227
01:02:22,760 --> 01:02:26,720
Speaker 1: like players that are unique unto themselves. But I'm worried

1228
01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:28,959
Speaker 1: about this matchup. They are a pretty one dimensional team

1229
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:32,280
Speaker 1: and without Melvin Ingram. Uh. The announcers a couple of

1230
01:02:32,280 --> 01:02:34,720
Speaker 1: weeks ago made a good point, doubling Bosa is easy.

1231
01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:37,440
Speaker 1: That's what the Patriots did in the playoff game. They

1232
01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:41,280
Speaker 1: doubled Bosa and Ingram every single snap and totally let

1233
01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:43,600
Speaker 1: try to make the rest of their defense, which isn't

1234
01:02:43,640 --> 01:02:45,680
Speaker 1: that talent to beat them, and they couldn't do it.

1235
01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:47,600
Speaker 1: And now you don't even have Ingram, and I think

1236
01:02:47,600 --> 01:02:51,320
Speaker 1: it's a pretty limited defense and that Duck Hodges might

1237
01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:52,760
Speaker 1: be able to go up and down the field. With

1238
01:02:52,800 --> 01:02:54,920
Speaker 1: a nice home crowd here, for the Steelers. It's pretty

1239
01:02:54,920 --> 01:02:58,880
Speaker 1: like this was one of the I thought best primetime

1240
01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:02,160
Speaker 1: games of the year last year, and how far apart

1241
01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:04,640
Speaker 1: we are from that time period where the Steelers look

1242
01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:07,240
Speaker 1: nothing like they did obviously because of injuries, and the

1243
01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:09,600
Speaker 1: Chargers have to be viewed as one of the most

1244
01:03:09,640 --> 01:03:11,840
Speaker 1: disappointing teams in the a f C, A team that,

1245
01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:14,560
Speaker 1: even when they weren't disappointing in the past, don't seem

1246
01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:17,480
Speaker 1: to live up to these some of their parts. And

1247
01:03:17,600 --> 01:03:20,160
Speaker 1: this year injuries have absolutely ravaged and they've lost Mike

1248
01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:23,240
Speaker 1: Pouncey now at center, and no matter what's going on

1249
01:03:23,280 --> 01:03:26,600
Speaker 1: at quarterback for Pittsburgh, I just don't love the concept

1250
01:03:26,600 --> 01:03:28,560
Speaker 1: of having to deal with Pittsburgh's pass rush. They are

1251
01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:32,280
Speaker 1: wrecking people week after week every week, right, They could

1252
01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:35,960
Speaker 1: steal almost any game because of that factor alone. Stephen

1253
01:03:36,040 --> 01:03:38,480
Speaker 1: to it at defensive end. It feels like he's playing

1254
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:41,880
Speaker 1: as well as any defensive linemen out there. Um and

1255
01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:43,919
Speaker 1: they're up the seventh and d v O A after

1256
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:47,160
Speaker 1: starting off the season pretty poorly the Chargers. This is

1257
01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:49,240
Speaker 1: the problem with in the off season, you talk about

1258
01:03:49,960 --> 01:03:53,160
Speaker 1: the draft and everyone pretends like they know who these

1259
01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:55,800
Speaker 1: guys are and all and just assumes these rookies are

1260
01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:58,440
Speaker 1: gonna be good. But everyone is well, that defense is loaded,

1261
01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:01,560
Speaker 1: and you you know, you throw in Jerry Tillery and

1262
01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:04,720
Speaker 1: the Seer Adderly and those are their two big weakness spots,

1263
01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:06,680
Speaker 1: and you plug those two rookies in and they're gonna

1264
01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:08,160
Speaker 1: be great. I mean, I think I actually said that

1265
01:04:08,320 --> 01:04:10,840
Speaker 1: people we were talking going back to the summer shows.

1266
01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:13,880
Speaker 1: I don't remember. I mean, I don't know if I

1267
01:04:13,960 --> 01:04:16,640
Speaker 1: don't remember saying that. Everyone was saying that. My point

1268
01:04:16,680 --> 01:04:19,600
Speaker 1: is their defense is terrible. They could use these two

1269
01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:22,200
Speaker 1: guys so much, and they can't really get on the field,

1270
01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:24,200
Speaker 1: either because of injuries or they're not playing well. They're

1271
01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:27,600
Speaker 1: not contributing anything to a defense that's totally big because

1272
01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:30,000
Speaker 1: you don't know what's going to happen with rookies, U

1273
01:04:30,240 --> 01:04:32,960
Speaker 1: keenan Allen. You mentioned Greg who through the first three

1274
01:04:32,960 --> 01:04:35,640
Speaker 1: games this season was off to a historic start in

1275
01:04:35,720 --> 01:04:39,000
Speaker 1: terms of production. He really cooled off against the Dolphins

1276
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:42,920
Speaker 1: and Broncos. You would assume he's been so consistent in

1277
01:04:42,960 --> 01:04:45,920
Speaker 1: his career, he's actually never been held under fifty yards.

1278
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:50,120
Speaker 1: Receiving a three consecutive games in prime time. I feel

1279
01:04:50,120 --> 01:04:52,720
Speaker 1: like we are. This could be a big Keenan Allen

1280
01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:57,000
Speaker 1: game and that could mean big things for the Chargers.

1281
01:04:57,040 --> 01:05:00,520
Speaker 1: If so, let's pick this game. You should be happy

1282
01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:02,680
Speaker 1: it's a Sunday night game because that means it's one

1283
01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:05,439
Speaker 1: thirty in the morning here. It's probably the one game

1284
01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:07,640
Speaker 1: we do not have a chance of seeing and we

1285
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:10,280
Speaker 1: will pass this game off actually as well. So like

1286
01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:13,600
Speaker 1: like we told you, Eddie Spaghetti and Jeremy Bergman are

1287
01:05:13,640 --> 01:05:17,360
Speaker 1: doing Thursday Night Football Sunday at Football Burgo's back Star

1288
01:05:17,600 --> 01:05:22,680
Speaker 1: of the two thousand five Will Ferrell drama Kicking and

1289
01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:25,360
Speaker 1: people say that movie is underrated. I can't at all.

1290
01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:27,920
Speaker 1: You're thinking, no, no, no, it's no. I'm thinking of

1291
01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:30,960
Speaker 1: the soccer one people like. I think for kids, if

1292
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:33,600
Speaker 1: you have kids, people like it. Well, I would say

1293
01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:37,480
Speaker 1: this Bergman in it is uh. He's got range. He's

1294
01:05:37,480 --> 01:05:39,920
Speaker 1: a talented actor and I don't know why he walked

1295
01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:42,720
Speaker 1: away from the trade. But the other kicking and screaming

1296
01:05:42,960 --> 01:05:45,640
Speaker 1: has a lot more going on. If you're looking to

1297
01:05:45,640 --> 01:05:48,600
Speaker 1: be engaged mentally, it's and it's not. He did not

1298
01:05:48,680 --> 01:05:50,560
Speaker 1: write this script. He took the role. And I think

1299
01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:53,040
Speaker 1: believe Mike Dick appears in this movie, and there's a

1300
01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:57,280
Speaker 1: lot of get that residual check to Burgo. But anyway,

1301
01:05:57,520 --> 01:06:00,880
Speaker 1: Burgo will be joined by oh my goodness, the paramore,

1302
01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:05,960
Speaker 1: Lakisha Jackson Westling will be joining on Sunday night to

1303
01:06:06,040 --> 01:06:10,320
Speaker 1: wrap up our podcast. So that's exciting. Great pinch hitter

1304
01:06:10,760 --> 01:06:13,520
Speaker 1: when you can get a Lakisha Jackson Westling off the bench.

1305
01:06:13,880 --> 01:06:17,000
Speaker 1: I mean, anytime, anytime you can book NFL on corks

1306
01:06:17,040 --> 01:06:21,320
Speaker 1: Lakisha Westling, you gotta do it. Absolutely check out NFL

1307
01:06:21,720 --> 01:06:26,240
Speaker 1: just it's called Uncorked, right NFL on Corked Lakisha Westling

1308
01:06:26,400 --> 01:06:30,680
Speaker 1: on YouTube subscribe. Um I walked into a shot of

1309
01:06:30,680 --> 01:06:35,160
Speaker 1: her and Will Blackman, former NFL player now a uh

1310
01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:40,880
Speaker 1: talent analyst for Sky Sports, recording the latest episode just

1311
01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:46,240
Speaker 1: last night after the Tavern alright, finally Monday Night football.

1312
01:06:46,720 --> 01:06:50,560
Speaker 1: We will be back in America. Um probably around a

1313
01:06:50,560 --> 01:06:55,040
Speaker 1: halftime of this game. I believe the Detroit Lions at

1314
01:06:55,080 --> 01:06:59,880
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers nice game. Nice game. Now the

1315
01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:01,760
Speaker 1: US maybe didn't look like a nice game on the

1316
01:07:01,800 --> 01:07:04,919
Speaker 1: schedule because nobody was excited about the Lions. Everybody thought

1317
01:07:04,920 --> 01:07:07,760
Speaker 1: the Lions were gonna give us another Lions year. And

1318
01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:11,720
Speaker 1: perhaps by the end of December that will be the case.

1319
01:07:11,760 --> 01:07:16,320
Speaker 1: But so far this season, Mark the Lions have been entertaining.

1320
01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:21,760
Speaker 1: They've been really good on offense, um, especially their ability

1321
01:07:21,840 --> 01:07:24,440
Speaker 1: to move the ball through the air with Matthew Matthew Stafford,

1322
01:07:24,640 --> 01:07:26,480
Speaker 1: who's off to one of the best starts of his career.

1323
01:07:26,760 --> 01:07:29,720
Speaker 1: There running game is much improved, much improved with Carrie

1324
01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:32,920
Speaker 1: on Johnson and friends. And now they get the Packers

1325
01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:36,320
Speaker 1: coming off that win against Darlas a convincing win, but

1326
01:07:36,400 --> 01:07:39,520
Speaker 1: one where uh like West said, the Cowboys were able

1327
01:07:39,560 --> 01:07:41,640
Speaker 1: to move the ball. Do you think the Lions will

1328
01:07:41,680 --> 01:07:45,240
Speaker 1: do the same at Lambeau. This is a tough, tough

1329
01:07:45,320 --> 01:07:48,200
Speaker 1: draw for them. I mean, green Bay's offense gets a

1330
01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:52,440
Speaker 1: lot of commentary because of the Rogers and Matt Lafleur

1331
01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:56,640
Speaker 1: sideline issues that people are glomming onto. I don't really

1332
01:07:56,680 --> 01:08:00,320
Speaker 1: care about a lot of that stuff. They've scored points

1333
01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:02,400
Speaker 1: to seven plus points in three straight games. I think

1334
01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:05,520
Speaker 1: that offense is starting to gel a little bit. Aaron

1335
01:08:05,600 --> 01:08:08,520
Speaker 1: Jones has been great, But the Lions, if you go

1336
01:08:08,600 --> 01:08:12,280
Speaker 1: back to that Chiefs game, they killed themselves with turnovers.

1337
01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:14,120
Speaker 1: If they if they didn't have that didn't happen to

1338
01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:16,200
Speaker 1: them in that game off karry On Johnson hadn't fumbled

1339
01:08:16,240 --> 01:08:18,519
Speaker 1: the ball on the one yard line. Stafford had a

1340
01:08:18,560 --> 01:08:20,479
Speaker 1: fumble on the five, but if Johnson had not done that,

1341
01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:23,599
Speaker 1: which was returned by Bashad Brelan for a hundred yard touchdown,

1342
01:08:23,840 --> 01:08:26,280
Speaker 1: they beat the Chiefs and the fourth and eight. The

1343
01:08:26,320 --> 01:08:28,040
Speaker 1: Chiefs had a fourth and eight on their last drive.

1344
01:08:28,120 --> 01:08:30,519
Speaker 1: The Lions get one stop, the game's over right. My

1345
01:08:30,600 --> 01:08:33,519
Speaker 1: one concern watching Detroit's defense, and it was a very

1346
01:08:33,560 --> 01:08:38,040
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes esque type. They just got they They let

1347
01:08:38,040 --> 01:08:40,320
Speaker 1: Mahomes do whatever he wanted to on that final game

1348
01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:42,760
Speaker 1: winning drive. And I just Detroit's got I gotta find

1349
01:08:42,760 --> 01:08:45,040
Speaker 1: a way to get to Rogers and make life tough

1350
01:08:45,080 --> 01:08:47,559
Speaker 1: on him. But what a treat that. This is actually

1351
01:08:47,600 --> 01:08:49,559
Speaker 1: not a stinker, because when I looked at the schedule

1352
01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:51,280
Speaker 1: and they put this here, I thought, you don't put

1353
01:08:51,320 --> 01:08:55,759
Speaker 1: this on prime time. Even this weight laid into the season,

1354
01:08:55,800 --> 01:08:57,920
Speaker 1: because Detroit seemed like they had I would have thought

1355
01:08:57,920 --> 01:09:00,400
Speaker 1: they could have been owing five. We've talked about a hundreds.

1356
01:09:00,479 --> 01:09:03,400
Speaker 1: How about my question, what would you believe the Lions

1357
01:09:03,439 --> 01:09:06,000
Speaker 1: will move the ball against the Green Bay Packers? The

1358
01:09:06,040 --> 01:09:12,000
Speaker 1: way the Cowboys did. Remember I don't don't move it,

1359
01:09:12,160 --> 01:09:18,000
Speaker 1: don't Dallas office talent. But they're not. They're beatable. They're

1360
01:09:18,040 --> 01:09:20,040
Speaker 1: kind of a boomer Bus defense. I think you can

1361
01:09:20,120 --> 01:09:22,439
Speaker 1: run against them, and so it should be a good

1362
01:09:22,560 --> 01:09:26,000
Speaker 1: carry On Johnson game. I mean carry On Johnson. I

1363
01:09:26,040 --> 01:09:28,120
Speaker 1: think it's a top ten running back right now. It's

1364
01:09:28,160 --> 01:09:30,000
Speaker 1: tricky because there are a lot of good players, but

1365
01:09:30,240 --> 01:09:32,839
Speaker 1: like I would rather have carry On Johnson than Derrick Henry,

1366
01:09:32,880 --> 01:09:37,080
Speaker 1: for instance, he runs Carrie On. Johnson runs through contact

1367
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:40,799
Speaker 1: like a true power back, and yet he's really good

1368
01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:44,160
Speaker 1: as a receiver. I love guys like that, and I

1369
01:09:44,200 --> 01:09:46,320
Speaker 1: love the way they're using him. You know, I would

1370
01:09:46,360 --> 01:09:48,240
Speaker 1: think this is a big week for him. The Chris

1371
01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:51,920
Speaker 1: Burman Primetime shows back on some capacity on an Esper

1372
01:09:52,040 --> 01:09:55,920
Speaker 1: under the ESPN umbrella Perfect opportunity, Wes. I know you

1373
01:09:55,920 --> 01:09:58,800
Speaker 1: you know some classic rock. I wouldn't say that's my

1374
01:09:58,840 --> 01:10:03,880
Speaker 1: special carry on my Waywards Son and three the secondary

1375
01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:08,200
Speaker 1: and stumbling. Doesn't Berman already use that for someone? You

1376
01:10:08,200 --> 01:10:12,640
Speaker 1: can bring it back. He's definitely cited that song in past. Sorry,

1377
01:10:12,800 --> 01:10:14,879
Speaker 1: I decidn't want to say I was done. I enjoyed

1378
01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:20,200
Speaker 1: your point more than Yeah, same band of dust in

1379
01:10:20,240 --> 01:10:23,960
Speaker 1: the wind when I watched When I watched Lions Chiefs,

1380
01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:26,320
Speaker 1: I didn't get the sense the Chiefs for the better team.

1381
01:10:26,360 --> 01:10:28,640
Speaker 1: And maybe that should have told us something about the

1382
01:10:28,640 --> 01:10:30,559
Speaker 1: Colts game the next week. But that said, they have

1383
01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:32,400
Speaker 1: to win on the road in Green Bay or else.

1384
01:10:32,400 --> 01:10:34,559
Speaker 1: They're two two and one. So you know these games

1385
01:10:34,560 --> 01:10:37,320
Speaker 1: where you give a lot of lollipops for losing, don't

1386
01:10:37,400 --> 01:10:39,559
Speaker 1: don't mountain too much unless you can go win a

1387
01:10:39,640 --> 01:10:43,639
Speaker 1: tough lollipop. All right, game, I'm just saying they're playing

1388
01:10:43,640 --> 01:10:47,360
Speaker 1: peak Rogers. And I don't know if this has been understated.

1389
01:10:47,400 --> 01:10:49,559
Speaker 1: Actually I wouldn't say he's quite there yet, but I say,

1390
01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:53,240
Speaker 1: as every week goes on, we're getting closer back to

1391
01:10:53,320 --> 01:10:56,360
Speaker 1: peak Rogers. He's physically there, we know that. And it's

1392
01:10:56,400 --> 01:10:59,920
Speaker 1: been fun to watch, and and it's tough. Spicy are

1393
01:11:00,080 --> 01:11:04,559
Speaker 1: guy the Consigliari, who is a mastermind when it comes

1394
01:11:04,600 --> 01:11:07,680
Speaker 1: to the vegas, the numbers, putting them all together. He

1395
01:11:07,760 --> 01:11:09,920
Speaker 1: has He only has two rules, and I forget one

1396
01:11:09,920 --> 01:11:12,880
Speaker 1: of them, but the other one is especially your best friend. Now.

1397
01:11:14,200 --> 01:11:16,719
Speaker 1: One of them is never pick against Aaron Rodgers. Doesn't matter,

1398
01:11:16,800 --> 01:11:18,799
Speaker 1: just don't pick against it. Well, that was the old

1399
01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:22,799
Speaker 1: Mike Francesca line. He was like, never pick against Peyton

1400
01:11:22,840 --> 01:11:26,679
Speaker 1: Manning at home in prime time ever, And I would

1401
01:11:26,680 --> 01:11:28,559
Speaker 1: say the same thing for Rogers. And that's why I'm

1402
01:11:28,640 --> 01:11:32,240
Speaker 1: locking up the Green Bay Packers against the Detroit Lions,

1403
01:11:32,280 --> 01:11:35,200
Speaker 1: because I do like the Lions, and I am on

1404
01:11:35,240 --> 01:11:37,400
Speaker 1: the same page as everyone here that it's good to

1405
01:11:37,400 --> 01:11:40,240
Speaker 1: see them be a little bit frisky so far this season.

1406
01:11:40,920 --> 01:11:42,719
Speaker 1: But I just think this is a this is gonna

1407
01:11:42,760 --> 01:11:45,920
Speaker 1: be a fun Packer season. And I do you mentioned

1408
01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:48,599
Speaker 1: like people are glombing onto the sidelines stuff with Rogers

1409
01:11:48,640 --> 01:11:51,519
Speaker 1: and and the flower I love it. It's one of

1410
01:11:51,520 --> 01:11:53,320
Speaker 1: my favorite parts of the game. It's like a game

1411
01:11:53,320 --> 01:11:55,960
Speaker 1: within the game, watching how they interact with each other,

1412
01:11:56,040 --> 01:11:58,519
Speaker 1: like little brother and big brother, only the little brothers

1413
01:11:58,560 --> 01:12:01,439
Speaker 1: the big brothers. Boss. I'm just saying, they're not going

1414
01:12:01,439 --> 01:12:04,559
Speaker 1: out there and scoring ten or thirteen points the offense anymore.

1415
01:12:04,640 --> 01:12:07,640
Speaker 1: They're they're scoring some points down, They're making progress. I

1416
01:12:07,680 --> 01:12:09,800
Speaker 1: also know Aaron Rodgers has a lot of pride and

1417
01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:12,320
Speaker 1: a lot of ego, and he's sneaky annoyed that he

1418
01:12:12,320 --> 01:12:14,280
Speaker 1: didn't get to throw any touchdown passes last week, and

1419
01:12:14,320 --> 01:12:17,200
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones got all the shine, so he's gonna be

1420
01:12:18,960 --> 01:12:22,719
Speaker 1: He'll be checking into play action at the goal line

1421
01:12:23,160 --> 01:12:26,559
Speaker 1: at least once. Uh, mark my words, against the lines.

1422
01:12:26,680 --> 01:12:30,799
Speaker 1: If that situation happens, he's gonna see a defensive package

1423
01:12:30,920 --> 01:12:33,080
Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage and he's gonna be thinking

1424
01:12:33,560 --> 01:12:36,439
Speaker 1: at that moment, Aaron Jones got all the touchdowns last year.

1425
01:12:36,439 --> 01:12:40,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna check into a play just so he has.

1426
01:12:41,320 --> 01:12:46,000
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I know it. He has six touchdown

1427
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:49,080
Speaker 1: passes through five games, and you could say that Aaron

1428
01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:51,639
Speaker 1: Rodgers is getting closer and closer being Aaron Rodgers again.

1429
01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:54,439
Speaker 1: Well he needs to have one of those five touchdown games.

1430
01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:57,479
Speaker 1: It just might happen on Monday night. Mark my word,

1431
01:12:57,640 --> 01:13:00,800
Speaker 1: watch him look at the defense and his mind in

1432
01:13:00,880 --> 01:13:04,719
Speaker 1: his mind calculated check into the play action. To Jimmy Graham,

1433
01:13:04,760 --> 01:13:07,360
Speaker 1: one yard paid hurt. I mean, you've come a long way.

1434
01:13:07,960 --> 01:13:10,280
Speaker 1: You've come a long way from locking up against Aaron

1435
01:13:10,400 --> 01:13:13,760
Speaker 1: Rodgers seven days ago. You got to be right, eventually,

1436
01:13:14,160 --> 01:13:18,280
Speaker 1: did I really both pick the Cowboys? I said to

1437
01:13:18,320 --> 01:13:21,200
Speaker 1: you what could go wrong? And then everything went wrong? Yeah,

1438
01:13:21,240 --> 01:13:23,840
Speaker 1: you're right, Well this is going to be different. Well,

1439
01:13:24,120 --> 01:13:26,840
Speaker 1: Davante Adam, you know this is the thing I had

1440
01:13:26,840 --> 01:13:30,439
Speaker 1: to I had question Dante Adams. I do not expect

1441
01:13:30,520 --> 01:13:33,120
Speaker 1: him to play for a while. There's been no update.

1442
01:13:33,479 --> 01:13:36,080
Speaker 1: I like that Greg is our doctor Child. I mean,

1443
01:13:36,120 --> 01:13:40,040
Speaker 1: I just was checking Dr chow Child. That looks like

1444
01:13:40,040 --> 01:13:42,720
Speaker 1: a very serious injury, a multi week injury. He has

1445
01:13:42,720 --> 01:13:44,960
Speaker 1: not returned to practice, and there's no there's been no

1446
01:13:45,040 --> 01:13:49,679
Speaker 1: reason for optimism anytime soon. You know, Dan, I landed

1447
01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:53,559
Speaker 1: here in a hell escape for the Browns, having discovered

1448
01:13:53,560 --> 01:13:55,920
Speaker 1: the score upon landing. What what happens to you when

1449
01:13:55,960 --> 01:13:57,640
Speaker 1: we land back in l A and your lock has

1450
01:13:57,680 --> 01:14:01,240
Speaker 1: gone into it would only be half Ricky? Did you

1451
01:14:01,240 --> 01:14:05,840
Speaker 1: really just slack me? Did you lock it? He just

1452
01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:10,759
Speaker 1: did it like ninety four seconds ago, like three seconds

1453
01:14:10,800 --> 01:14:13,200
Speaker 1: before you giggled your butt off when he said uh.

1454
01:14:13,520 --> 01:14:16,639
Speaker 1: In my mind, that's the only part of the show

1455
01:14:16,720 --> 01:14:18,680
Speaker 1: that was my explanation of my lock was what I

1456
01:14:18,680 --> 01:14:22,479
Speaker 1: was saying. In my mind, everyone's loopy. We all got

1457
01:14:22,560 --> 01:14:25,960
Speaker 1: killed with the second day jet lag. I don't know

1458
01:14:25,960 --> 01:14:27,599
Speaker 1: if I want to speak for everybody, but I feel

1459
01:14:27,640 --> 01:14:29,719
Speaker 1: like everybody's in the same page right now. I couldn't

1460
01:14:29,760 --> 01:14:32,479
Speaker 1: fall asleep the four o'clock this morning. Yeah, two and

1461
01:14:32,720 --> 01:14:34,479
Speaker 1: hours of sleep at night. It's good for about one

1462
01:14:34,560 --> 01:14:36,880
Speaker 1: or two days and then the human condition starts to

1463
01:14:38,160 --> 01:14:41,479
Speaker 1: all right, So there you go. Week six preview On
