00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: The Around the NFL Podcast. Huh is this thing is

2
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: still going? Yeah? It is. Welcome back to another edition

3
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: of the Around the NFL Podcast, presented My Head and Shoulders.

4
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: My name is Dan Hansas and I am joined by

5
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: Room Feld with heroes Mark Sesler, Colleen will and Greg Rosenthal.

6
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 1: What's up people? Hey? Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey hey hey.

7
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: That's safe. You're good. How dare Matt money Smith question

8
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: the length of this show and whether it's still relevant

9
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 1: when we gave him the start to his career now

10
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 1: the Voice of the Unbelievable. But I think it's fair

11
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: to say he doesn't get Voice of the Chargers if

12
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: he's not opening our shows for the past four years. Say,

13
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 1: at least it's very fair. Yeah, we have been on

14
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: for a while, though five seasons a little too long

15
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: at this point. It does. It's one of those things like, well,

16
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: what are you still doing this for? Because are you

17
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: getting better? Are you are you getting worse? Are you

18
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 1: even invested in the product? I'll throw to you? Mark Well,

19
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: I mean, these are the questions that we're getting from

20
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: our employer all the time. They seem to be on

21
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: the fact that you know, somehow this is still rambling

22
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: on this show and it's on the radar. They're concerned

23
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 1: that maybe it should have been canceled two or three

24
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: years ago. Potentially, is this the longest running podcast in history?

25
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 1: I feel like most podcasts are like eighteen months and

26
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: then it's like see you later. They up ever in

27
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: the history. So we should call Guinness, we should call yeah, Yeah,

28
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: media Research l A media Research. They do a great job.

29
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to them a little bit later. We

30
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: have a nice show today, nice show, A lot to

31
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 1: get to as we head towards week eleven, we'll start

32
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: by capping week ten, the Monday night football matchup between

33
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: the Panthers and Dolphins that went sideways in a hurry.

34
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: Then a little later in the show, we will preview

35
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: the Thursday night football matchup between the Steelers and Titans.

36
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: That's a saucy one, a little bit of a referendum

37
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: on the Titoons potential thinks on TNF. So that's a

38
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: good one. And then we'll have a discussion. We're talking

39
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: about prime time games right there. Uh, we'll have we'll

40
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: chat a little bit about some of the issues we're

41
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: getting the season with uh, competitive primetime games specifically on

42
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: Sunday and Monday nights. Any ideas how to spruce things up,

43
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: that's what we're here for. The league comes to us

44
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: for ideas like that. We we don't just complain about

45
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: the problems. We come with solutions. That's why we're NFL employees.

46
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: Solutions that are listened to and then change effectively. Happens

47
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: very quickly after based on our ideas. Right, it's just

48
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: like a giant suggestion box. Like we work for the shield.

49
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 1: They actually give us a shield. If you ever see

50
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: us in person, we have to lug around a pound

51
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: shields with the logo and Connie Fox, your forearms just slipped,

52
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: you can tell to put down in my car just

53
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: to get it in there. It's like Mark McGuire circle,

54
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: It's like it's more than a little suspicious. What's going

55
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: on with Colleen's forearms. That's it for Colleen forearm talk.

56
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: Let's uh, let's start with some Monday night football chatter

57
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: now with McCaffrey motioning to the left, all alone in

58
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: the shotgun, bounces on the balls of his feet, throws

59
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: a comebackground caught left side. Ten funch just to the

60
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: five funch just scores star is born, A star is born.

61
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: Stars Barn's been playing well for a while, but I'll

62
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: accept that. McK mix and w BT with a call.

63
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: I'm not sure who said star was born, but star

64
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: is born. Devin fun just nice little player though, So

65
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: I get what he's saying. Are we on board with that?

66
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: Had a how you thought had a kind of a

67
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: breakout moment earlier in the season, So I would say

68
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: his star has been it's been exploited, so it's already

69
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: been birded. I don't kind of pushing for the coming

70
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: out part. Didn't come out of that game thinking like

71
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: that was the Devin fund was like the eight bullet point. Anyway,

72
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: Cam Newton, Cam Newton, we know who that guy is.

73
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: He threw her two and fifty four yards four touchdowns,

74
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey's or twice. Devin Fudge has scored a couple

75
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: of times and at twenty one blowout for the Panthers

76
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: over the Miami Dolphins, that is the third straight win,

77
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: uh for Carolina And um, we'll start with you Mark

78
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: on this one. We just finished talking about on Sunday

79
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: Show the Big Four in the NFC, but the Panthers

80
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: kind of lurk right, maybe beneath that group, or maybe

81
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: they're not even beneath that group, because they are now

82
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: seven and three and can look real good when they

83
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 1: get warmed up. My issue with the Panthers over the

84
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,239
Speaker 1: last month plus was how boring they were to watch

85
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: on offense, and I think that I owe them of

86
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: an apology, and I just think others do too. I'll

87
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: tell you why, because how wrong I was. Can we

88
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: get Cam Newton on the phone for this? Yeah, not

89
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: to him, I don't. Can we read your tweet to

90
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: him about him last night, to him when he's on

91
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: the phone, Go for it. Okay, We're there, tweet Newton.

92
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. I mean, honestly, I got. I got finished, Yester,

93
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,239
Speaker 1: watching the Saints destroy the Bills with a ground game

94
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: from another century, and then last night the Panthers show

95
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: that they've completely chosen and successfully chosen a new identity

96
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: on offense. They are. They wore down the Dolphins and

97
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: already a team that was lesser than them, but by

98
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: the second half that ground game, which chalked about three

99
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 1: hundred yards, the idea that when they traded Kelvin Benjamin,

100
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 1: I laughed at them for saying, you know, it's going

101
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: to open up our ground game, and in fact, in

102
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 1: the last two games, that's exactly what it's done. I

103
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: don't know if it's exactly because of Calvin Benjamin, but

104
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,239
Speaker 1: their offense and the way that they've unleashed Cam. Mike Schuel,

105
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: that offensive coordinator who's now concocted about seven different types

106
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: of Panthers attacks, deserves a lot of credit. Yeah, they

107
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: were trying to focus more on speed and getting faster

108
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: on offense, and that's exactly what we saw last night.

109
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,359
Speaker 1: I mean, even with Cam Newton, he's he's they're just

110
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: letting him do what he does best and that's when

111
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: the Panther's offense succeeds. And Christian McCaffrey he has three

112
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: touchdowns in his last two games. But I think one

113
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: of the other things with him, he threw some key

114
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: blocks in there that really kind of broke open the

115
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: game on on the Fun's touchdown. He had one on

116
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: that long catch and run. So I mean they're sort

117
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: of clicking now, which is scary because that defense is

118
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: so good. And I know that Mark by the way,

119
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: said go find the tweet because he did a rare

120
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: market he deleted the tweet. He deleted the tweet, and

121
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: I had there was They said basically the same thing,

122
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: So they're they're the one the one with He basically

123
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: was he wasn't thrilled with the celebrations, which is which

124
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 1: is fine. It was a night for Cam. It was

125
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: a night. It was a night that reminded you how

126
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: exciting this team could be. And you you guys mentioned it.

127
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: This isn't a one week thing. And that's why I'm

128
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,559
Speaker 1: not just chalking up to that they were playing the Dolphins.

129
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 1: When they came out last week against the Falcons, they

130
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: had a noticeably different approach. They said, forget this whole like,

131
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: let's try to run like a quote unquote pro style offense,

132
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: and let's work on the short passes for Cam and

133
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: let's not expose him. Forget that he is unlike anything

134
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: the NFL all has ever seen. He's a great runner.

135
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: His threat of running opens up so much for McCaffrey,

136
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 1: who had his best game last week, and Stewart, who

137
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: had his best game this week. We've been at our

138
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: best when that's then when that is our offense. So

139
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: let's not let's stop worrying about the future. Let's just

140
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: let's try to win now. And they've run for four

141
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: yards over the last week. And I'll make a point that, yes,

142
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey was drafted high to be, I guess, a

143
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: some type of complete running back. He's not that. But

144
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: I also think that some of the criticism he's gotten

145
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: has been a little unfair because I really do think

146
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: he's a very valuable piece of this offense and he's

147
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: done a lot of things to them. Now we're starting

148
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: to see it a little bit more in the box score.

149
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: I think he's they're still figuring out how to use them,

150
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: and with this embracing the offense that they really always

151
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: should have had. I I like the idea or see

152
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: the McCaffrey potentially having an even more explosive role going forward.

153
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: And in that Saint Spills game and in the game

154
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: last night, it's when you get to the second half

155
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: that both games were relatively close at half two. In

156
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: that second half, that Dolphins defense is worn down. You

157
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: saw the Saints on Sunday run the ball twenty four

158
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: straight times, and they did it well. It was incredible

159
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: to watch. And the Panthers last night, another team from

160
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: the same division, those teams are gonna play each other

161
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: in week thirteen, same mold. I mean, when you can

162
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: run the ball that way and beat up a defense,

163
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna go deep into the season. The Giants to

164
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: use them as an example. In San Francisco, they quit,

165
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,679
Speaker 1: at least some players did. I didn't get the sense

166
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: either with the Bills or the Dolphins that there was

167
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: quitting involved. They just got worn down that offenses that

168
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: where they have a great attack, they had a great

169
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: game plan, and then running backs that they could use

170
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 1: to attack them. And that's having Steward who entered the

171
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: game I think with what the lowest yards for carry

172
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: after like two point nine or something, and and he

173
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: looked like it was two. It's the box and it's

174
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: Cam and I guess McCaffrey, but mostly Cam opening it

175
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: up for the other players. But none of this works.

176
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: I mean, their offense is gonna be fine. They're hoping

177
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: that their offense is average or a little better. It

178
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: only works if you have a top five defense to

179
00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: go along with that. I mean, that was the recipe

180
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 1: into thousand thirteen when they went twelve and four. That

181
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: was the recipe when they went to the Super Bowl

182
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 1: and that's the recipe. Now all they need is their

183
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: offense to be okay, and they need Kwan Shot. I

184
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: mean the special part of this team is Kwan Shot

185
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 1: and Luke Kickley and Thomas. Yeah, that interception he had

186
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: before the half kind of turned things around for them

187
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: because it would have been ten seven offense. They're dreadful though.

188
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 1: I mean, this ended a three week journey, one of

189
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,599
Speaker 1: you know, three week journey. I don't know if this

190
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: has ever happened before, where a team traveled across our

191
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: prime time properties. They went Thursday to Sunday to Monday.

192
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: And this was an odyssey, a story that no one

193
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: should ever talk about again. Well, and it started with

194
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: you and I covering a forty to nothing lost to

195
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,479
Speaker 1: the Ravens and it ended last night in equally disasters.

196
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,439
Speaker 1: They were the worst four and two team in the league.

197
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: Now they're the worst four and five team. At some

198
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: point they'll probably be the worst six and ten team.

199
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: It's like just they might come up a little bit

200
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: later because we got to do some housekeeping with the

201
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: four committee. Um so that was what they have. I

202
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: don't know, I mean, just one a I have. We'll

203
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: talk half, we'll talk about you know so, and yeah,

204
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 1: uh not great. Uh for Monday night foutball Sunday night football.

205
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: We've talked about Al, Chris and Michelle all season have

206
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: been stuck with dogs. UM, and I did shoot our

207
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: research team and email because it felt like we've been

208
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: seeing more blowouts and these Sunday Monday night games. Um,

209
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: that's not quite the case. Uh. They got back to me.

210
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: The average margin of victory uh this year is twelve

211
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: point five to UM last year twelve point seven three

212
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: two thousand fourteen, fourteen point nine seven. It's kind of

213
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: hovered in that eleven to thirteen range. UM, So maybe

214
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 1: that's something that sometimes it gets on your radar a

215
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: little bit. He's like, Oh, none of these games had

216
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: a couple of really bad they had a terrible week

217
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: or two weeks. I would right. I mean, if you

218
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 1: go through the schedule this year, there are a couple

219
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: of good games here and there, but a lot of

220
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: these games have been handily taken care of by one side. Um.

221
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: How about a quick chat Laberno quick quick Chat sponsored

222
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: by quick Chat. Quick chat favorite I am client, Yeah,

223
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: America's number one favorite app that you chat with your friends,

224
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: and it does uh, different errands for you? How versatile

225
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: chat it's such, it's such a greatly a great secret

226
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 1: and held close to the vest by so many people.

227
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 1: Doesn't even exist. Great chat runs errands doesn't exist. Mark

228
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: will start with you if you all right, So, how

229
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: do we do this? So then if you go through

230
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: the years, there are a lot of lopside of games

231
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: in prime time. How about we throw out a couple

232
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: of suggestions in the league office will be plugged into this.

233
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: How do you make these primetime games more competitive? I'll

234
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: give you two quick ideas and you can respond. Number one,

235
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: I would say a totally open before the season begins.

236
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: You have an open slate post Halloween for all prime

237
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: time slots that you give the lead two or three weeks.

238
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: Notice that you start scheduling them three weeks ago for

239
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: this week's games, so you can do as Greg wanted

240
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: to get certain the Saints in there, and the Rams,

241
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: some of the teams that we never expected to be

242
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 1: good before the Thursdays and Mondays too. You're saying, I, well,

243
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: there's a second part with Thursdays. Thursday night football is

244
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: not going to officially go away. That's not how things happen.

245
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: The league is gonna keep adding more and more. But

246
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: my concern and the way I feel sometimes as a

247
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: fan is that there's an oversaturation point where it feels

248
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: like I'd like the idea of football beyond every night,

249
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: if every night was a competitive game, but we're not

250
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 1: getting that. And I remember growing up that late in

251
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: the year you get those rare Saturday games and you

252
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: get the occasional strange Christian Anderson was talking about this

253
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: back even within the seventies, you get the weird Thursday

254
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: night game and it was specially you remember those games.

255
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: There was something about the NFL that the product rose up.

256
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: So what I would do is I would turn Thursday

257
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: football into a special event that occurs once a month,

258
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: or maybe it occurs over the course of a month

259
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: in the season. Where Thursday football is something that isn't

260
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: suddenly in your lap quickly is the week it comes

261
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: so quickly every week, the teams have issues, the players,

262
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: and you treat it more like the way you treat London.

263
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: It's something special, but it's in the States and it

264
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: occurs at an important point of the year, and you

265
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: can schedule it mid season to find out which of

266
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,599
Speaker 1: these teams we want to make T and F the

267
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: best product we can. I love the novelty of that,

268
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: because for me, I'm flying back from the East Coast

269
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: on Sunday, so I always end up missing a good

270
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: chunk of games live. You want to change the entire

271
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: nasional schedule for me, Yes, for me, just around my

272
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: flight schedule, because the only games that I've really really

273
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,719
Speaker 1: get to like sit and absorb and really enjoy are

274
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: the prime time games. Otherwise I'm kind of just watching,

275
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: right Yeah, so to have them be total stinkers is

276
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: such a bummer. Well, Greg, you're kind of our logistical

277
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: expert in this realm, so you are good at like

278
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: telling quickly agrees why Mark, Why Mark's idea can never work? Well,

279
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: my ideas weren't too similar, and I guess we'll talk

280
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: about we can talk about that. My one was to

281
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: reduce Thursday night football as well to start, So, I

282
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 1: don't know if you're gonna do once a month, And

283
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: granted they have they have contracts signed for a few years,

284
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: so this would be the next time around. Maybe you

285
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 1: go back to the old way where they really started it.

286
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 1: I believe around Halloween and on or close to Thanksgiving.

287
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: And on. I don't think there'll ever be a day

288
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: where you can flex Thursday or Monday night games in

289
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: any capacity. I just don't because of logistics, because of

290
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: scheduling and fans and tea in and just everything. I

291
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: just don't think those two nights are ever gonna be open.

292
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: But my other idea other than reducing Thursday night down

293
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: because I think when you take out six or seven

294
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: Thursday night games, those are twelve games of the borderline teams.

295
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: Now you're not going to predict the team's right ahead

296
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: of time. But that gets rid of some of those

297
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: Dolphin primetime games. It's like you're still gonna be loaded

298
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: up on the Steelers and the Patriots, and hopefully you

299
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: can guess right for the most part, because sometimes you're

300
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: just gonna get in a tough spot where team surprised you.

301
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: But those take away those bo to line teams. That's

302
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: one I think with the flex. That was my second

303
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: idea is make the flex more flexible. You can't you know,

304
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: the weeks five to ten. People don't even know this.

305
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: You can only even use the flex twice. I don't

306
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: understand that. Like, I think, just start being able to

307
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: flex starting week five, and to your point, maybe don't write,

308
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: don't even write in the Sunday night game starting week

309
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: five on, because then it becomes this weird thing where

310
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: you don't want to change it. In less you know

311
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: there's a better ratings game out there. Just leave week

312
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: five open, and it becomes a thing every Monday morning

313
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: twelve or Tuesday morning twelve days ahead that you're you're

314
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: kind of looking forward to finding out what's the Sunday

315
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: night start that in week five, and it tells teams

316
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: earn it, you want it, you want to get on

317
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: Sunday Night football, and you want to you want to

318
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: have the best games. Bye week six, weeks seven, be

319
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: one of those teams we want to see that. Don't

320
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: be that don't be. It's not it's also not it's

321
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: Miami's fault that they're not a great team. But it's

322
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: not fun to be a fan of the Dolphins. I

323
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: remember in two thousand seven when the Browns win had

324
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: a weird ten and six in the NFL went nuts

325
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: and put them on primetime I think five or six times,

326
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: and then they proceeded to be a dumpster fire. And

327
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: as a fan, you don't want to watch your team.

328
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: Dolphins fans are not enjoying watching their team lose, forwarding

329
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: to nothing and then get hammered last night, twitters on fire,

330
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: everyone calling the team in his grace. It's not a

331
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: good experience for the Dolphins fans either. I would say

332
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: two quick things, and I like that flex more flexible.

333
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: It even has a nice ring to it, maybe a

334
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: new hashtag. Two things I would say sometimes it does

335
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: feel like the um schedule makers put too many eggs

336
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: in the NFC East basket, and then what happens if

337
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: the NFC East is having a down year or certain

338
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: teams that are always out there. The Broncos are another example,

339
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: And I get it. It's it's it's not there's no

340
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: simple answer to any of this stuff, because there's market

341
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: share and and historically how ratings do and that drives thieves.

342
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: Look at the top of the NFC this year are

343
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: those four teams were not really expected to be a team.

344
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: But when you go through a season like it feels

345
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: like there's an NFC East team every week playing, it

346
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: just feels that way. They get the ratings, and they

347
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: get the ratings. I get that, um So I would

348
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: say that the other the other thing. The other point,

349
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: I would have mm hmm trying to remember it. Baseball teams.

350
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: Baseball teams play against football time. I thought it was

351
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: so pointed, like, wow, this is coming from the heart.

352
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: It's just like when there's a really good matchup and

353
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 1: it's in the one o'clock window, and then you have

354
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: a stinker later on. It's it just and and a

355
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: lot of it we know is is bad luck. Yeah,

356
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 1: we're trying to we're spitballing for you. I will go,

357
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 1: I will point I will point out we've had it's

358
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: been a rough primetime slate in terms of just the

359
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: excitement before the games of the matchups, you know what

360
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 1: I mean. This week we happened to like we're saying

361
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: this conversation in a week where three of the better

362
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: games I feel like that we've had in a while

363
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: are all in prime time. Titan Steelers Thursday, Eagles Cowboys

364
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 1: Sunday Night, which I wish Zeke Elliott was there, but

365
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: that's still a big time exciting game. And Falcon Seahawks

366
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: Monday Night, which I'm personally sight about kind of the

367
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: two teams that were there last year in the NFC,

368
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 1: Like those are three good prime time. Some of it's

369
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:07,959
Speaker 1: just like when last year. Remember earlier in the year

370
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: there was so much critique over the Bears, for instance,

371
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: being in prime time twice when they were a mess

372
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: and it. But the the NFL, we actually talked to

373
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:16,919
Speaker 1: people and they said, you got await. By the end

374
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 1: of the year, the schedule will round into shape and

375
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: it and it does seem to do that every year.

376
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 1: It's the beginning of the season sometimes where things are

377
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: a big mess. Um the other one I thought of,

378
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: it's not it's not pointing at all, but it's another

379
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 1: one of those things. It's more a field than I

380
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 1: don't know if it backs it up, but certain games.

381
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 1: Last night is a perfect example. The Panther. Even before

382
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: the season started, it felt like probably a tough ask

383
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 1: for Miami to go to Carolina. Maybe sometimes the team

384
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: that you kind of have an idea could be the

385
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 1: underdog going into the game. Have them host the game,

386
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: because sometimes it feels like these teams are going into

387
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: a buzz saw against the perennial league. Don't ship the

388
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: Jets to Foxborough five years in a row on prime

389
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 1: timers right have have the it's probably gonna often better game.

390
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: If the Jets come to or they get a better product.

391
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: And I think the Dolphins are headed to Fox. I

392
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 1: know the Patriots are headed to Miami. So that proves

393
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: your point that football, Well, it also proves our point

394
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: that they're on for a fourth time. So don't year.

395
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: I don't mind watching the Patriots in prime time because

396
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 1: I'm saying the Dolphins were a playoff team last year.

397
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: And if you're if it's inflexible, you're gonna keep hitting

398
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 1: this because they'll be up to playoff teams this year.

399
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: That stink next year, and you're gonna get stuck with

400
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: the same thing. All right, good talk, guys, And this

401
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,439
Speaker 1: this is being This was actually streamed live. Lindsey Fulton

402
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 1: hooked it up straight to Rod's office and he was

403
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: furiously scribbling notes. So I think we have four letters

404
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 1: of termination furiously being scribbled right now. All right, let's

405
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 1: move on and do some news. Actually, no, let's do

406
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: an ad. Read like that sounds better. That sounds more fun,

407
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 1: doesn't it. Oh my god, I want to tell you

408

00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:08,840

411
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,199
Speaker 1: a Rosenthal Jess podcast. It's pretty it's pretty standard. I

412
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: think it would be strange if television shows weren't allowed

413
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:20,040

436
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,800

437
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: the city turned off the heat and the lights. Yes, now,

438
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,600

Speaker 1: their toes and have an episode pop up when we

440
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: feel like it. And at this point people probably think, oh,

441
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: it's been canceled because there's not been an episode in

442

Speaker 1: three months. You really love them to sleep, and then

443
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 1: an episode pops up in like mid June and they

444
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 1: have no idea what saying. It'll be a pleasant surprise

Speaker 1: a good tiger. I'm gonna make him out to be

453
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 1: a big gasslight. You're going to Mexico? That was we

454
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: should say who that was. That was Julian Edelman and

455
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 1: Danny A. Mendola in some sort of promotion for this

456
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,479

457
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: went to Mexico and that that was basically the dream

458
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 1: assignment of our old producer Loose Cannon, who was still

459
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:00,959
Speaker 1: helping us on the pick Him. I mean, imagine if

460
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 1: she was on that shoot, I don't watch out, Danny. Yeah,

461
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 1: I don't think she'd come back. That's what I'm saying.

462
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: She is quite a thing for Danny A Mendola, who

463
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 1: appears to That's two privileged right, Well, it's you know,

464
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: two privileged Caucasians traveling across the border to express themselves.

465
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: That's that's exciting. Dan. I know you're you're not a

466
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: Patriots fan, were you? What are you feeling about what

467
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: you just saw? A way to pivot there, Mark Um,

468
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 1: I never went to I never did the cross the

469
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: border trip. I wish kind of wish that I did

470
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: with my buddies. But any border across some borders, you

471
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: famously not into leaving the homeland. I love it here.

472
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: I love this country, even with all the struggles we face.

473
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 1: It's the best damn country in America. I would like

474
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: to hear the song that you guys would say if

475
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: you went to Mexico, best day of country in America.

476
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 1: That's the only thing I know. All right, let's do

477
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 1: some news. Let's get on track. Jesus Sean Lee. Oh

478
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: my goodness, the Cowboys are dealing with some stuff right now.

479
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 1: We saw what happened without Tyron Smith, with that Zeke

480
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 1: Elliott on Sunday against the Falcons, and now NFL and

481
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: Work insider Ian Rappaport reported uh that Lee, the team's

482
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,880
Speaker 1: star linebacker, unlikely to play in Week eleven due to

483
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 1: a hamstring injury that forced them out of the loss

484
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: to the Falcons. And this is where some bad luck

485
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 1: comes in with the schedule. The Cowboys have three games

486
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: over the next eleven days, so within the nature of

487
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 1: this injury, it's possible that they lose their most important

488
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: defensive player, Colleen for three games. The team's playing on

489
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving against the Chargers. Um, they're playing the Eagles too,

490
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: so they got the Eagles. I mean, so the bad timing,

491
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,679
Speaker 1: no Shawn Lee, no Zeke Elliott, we don't know if

492
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,439
Speaker 1: Tyron Smith will be back for their next game. A

493
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 1: lot of adversity all of a sudden. Yeah, and they're

494
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: they're five and four, and we saw how it played

495
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: out without Tyron Smith and there, I mean, Adrian Claymorene

496
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: had a crazy day. So the fact that when this

497
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: offensive line was already sort of having some issues running

498
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: the ball and run blocking and now they can't really

499
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: pass protect. Either it's it's not good for the Eagles

500
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 1: or or it's great for the Eagles. It's just not

501
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 1: good for the Cowboys right now because that defense, when

502
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 1: Shawn Lee is in there, it plays so different. The

503
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: fact that they had David Irving back and Shawn Lee back,

504
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: they were really really good and this is when they

505
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 1: need those guys, is when they need the defense without

506
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: Zeke there pal Damaschek talks about Jenga pieces on teams. Yeah,

507
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 1: about take three off the Cowboys and see how the

508
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 1: rest of the season goes. I think it's pretty easy

509
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: to argue Tyron Smith is more valuable to that team

510
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: than Zeke Elliott. I mean, Tyron Smith going to the

511
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, most likely as as a left tackle,

512
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: and that just the drop off at that position is

513
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 1: massive because if Smith is in, you can block well

514
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: enough for whoever the running back is. And you could

515
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: even argue shan Lee is just as important to the

516
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 1: defense as Zeke is to the offense. Now it's time

517
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: to manage the schedule. I mean, it's gonna be tough

518
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: to beat the Eagles. This is a team that we've

519
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 1: picked on over the years, the Cowboys for being thin,

520
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 1: for not having for having a lot of star power

521
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: up top, and not a good you know, backside of

522
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,959
Speaker 1: the roster. We'll find out. But you gotta win too.

523
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 1: Out of those three. You gotta beat the Chargers and

524
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: the Redskins, maybe lose to the Eagle. You get out

525
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: of that seven and five and you're in okay shape.

526
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: That Eagles game is tell it's the schedule, and whenever

527
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: this Zeke thing hit, it would have been a rough patch.

528
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: But I mean, you could see them being out of

529
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: the playoff picture realistically by Thanksgiving night if they lose that.

530
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying yes, if they ever to drop those.

531
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I love the janga theory from Shack And

532
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: the reason I love it is because if you know

533
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 1: the game, if you take three key pieces from your

534
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: janga tower, what happens. It crumbles, falls to the ground,

535
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: and any child knows. Very highly competitive NFC, the three

536
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: months valuable. They can't lose the team other than Dak Prescott.

537
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: They can't lose three games in a row. They I mean,

538
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 1: it's just not They need to figure out a way

539
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: to get by. They can't go one and two. There's two.

540
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: The NFC is too top heavy. They can't go one

541
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 1: and two. I think I think they're in deep trouble. Yeah,

542
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: first of all, I'm hopeful. I'm sure Cowboys fans are

543
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: the tyrant Smith returns. I think they are hopeful of that.

544
00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: I think they could beat a Redskins are in charges teams,

545
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: but I think they can. All right, let's move on.

546
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: Talk about the uh who are in a bad, bad

547
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,880
Speaker 1: place right now. Uh they got blown out at home

548
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 1: UH two weeks ago? Who blew them out two weeks ago?

549
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: Or last the Rams. Then they go on the road

550
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 1: and they get blown out by the previously windless forty Niners. Um,

551
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: and yeah, it looked like some of those players cough

552
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 1: cough Genaris Jenkins cough cough, quit on their head coach

553
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 1: and on their teammates. And it's just a bad look

554
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: all around for the Giants. Whore one in eight uh.

555
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 1: There was a report that floated out there from Pro

556
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: Football Talk that um macadoo ben mcdoo coach, could be

557
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 1: fired as soon as this week after the performance against

558
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: the forty Niners, But less than twenty four hours after

559
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: that loss, the team's owners said they'll wait until the

560
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: end of the year before determining if they'll make changes.

561
00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 1: Here is the statement from the Giants. Ben McAdoo is

562
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: our head coach and has our support. We are in

563
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 1: the midst of an extremely disappointing season. This is coming

564
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: from John mara and Steve Tish. Of course, our performance

565
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 1: this year, particularly the past two weeks, is inexcusable and frustrating.

566
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 1: While we appreciate that our fans are unhappy with what

567
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 1: has occurred, nobody is more upset than we are. He

568
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: went on to add that the plan is to do

569
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: what they always do, and they don't. The Giants don't

570
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: do things like fire coach in the middle of the season,

571
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 1: there's usually not a lot of like fireworks around them

572
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: like that. But it's very clear after you read the statement,

573
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: Ben's gone, He's gone. Yeah, they're not a reactionary bunch.

574
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: They won five straight games, so we should be insane. No,

575
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 1: But it's just like they're saying, it's not gonna happen.

576
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: You can anybody this Giants are not winning five straight games.

577
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 1: It's amazing like that. This was a team that was

578
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 1: so touted in the off season and now this is

579
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: where they are. And you you see all these reports

580
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: that like, you know, the players that they've clearly given

581
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: up on on Macadoo and the team. But I mean

582
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: Macadoo still saying like things like there are players were

583
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: capable of making and the desire to finish just wasn't consistent.

584
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: They quit. Someone made the point last night, I think

585
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: it was our your producer fine Man, Jason Hartilius, that

586
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: the difference between Adam Gaze and Macadoo is like Adam

587
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: Gaze when he he recognizes there's a problem, Macadoo pretends

588
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: that nothing wrong is happening, that just like everything everything's

589
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: fine here, when when it's the worst season in thirty

590
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: years for the franchise. Yeah, there's a huge disconnect between

591
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: Macadoo and the press, and in New York especially, that's

592
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: when the chips start to crumble. And that's yeah, that's

593
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 1: why I thought he was in danger even before these

594
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: two weeks. Sometimes you were dead, you were ahead of

595
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 1: this on the head of some people in the state.

596
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: Sometimes the fan base and the newspapers, the tabloids specifically

597
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: start to smell blood in the water, and then these

598
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 1: these things snowball. So he was already I thought, in

599
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: a lot of trouble, and then these last two weeks

600
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: basically did him in because now there's a mutiny of

601
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: foot at least that's how it's viewed from the outside,

602
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: and that he's suspended two of their best players for

603
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: different teams, and those are the players that are getting questions.

604
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 1: And the fact that the own ownership felt the need

605
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: to make this statement that's not even very giant like,

606
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: but it just tells you how bad things have gotten.

607
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: This is, like we talked about a little bit on Sunday.

608
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 1: This is you have to go back maybe forty years

609
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 1: to find the last time the Giants were this in

610
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 1: this much danger. Ahead. I was gonna say, Bob Glauber,

611
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: who does a great job at Newsday, you know. The uh.

612
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 1: The lead to his column after this statement is it

613
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,719
Speaker 1: is impossible to overstate the significance of where the Giants

614
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: are right now, saying it's really a crossroads in the

615
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: club's history that he goes back thirty nine years in

616
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: terms of when they when they last bottomed, that when

617
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: they last truly clean house. Because if you look at it,

618
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: even Reese was the last higher of of George Young,

619
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 1: their old general manager, so it's been a succession plane

620
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: where Young chosen the occurred. Of course he had hired Reese,

621
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: who had chosen reason. It's like this goes back decades

622
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 1: and decades where they've had continuity and now might be

623
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: the time where that all kind of their top three

624
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 1: in terms of continuity, if not if not one or two.

625
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 1: But I I am sensing a little bit this week

626
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: and it is annoying me this. Oh, you know, the

627
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 1: Giants fans have really had to endure a tough season.

628
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: I am a little annoyed because to state what you

629
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: just said, they have to go back to the seventies

630
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: for the last time that there was disorganization and upheaval.

631
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: That's four decades ago. You've been to five Super Bowls,

632
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: you have won four of them. Settled down, Giants fans,

633
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,959
Speaker 1: You're allowed to enjoy one season of discontent, Please please

634
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: settle down. At one two am, Mark what's going on?

635
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: Mark tweeted out the outpouring of concern and attention for

636
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 1: Giants fans living through a down season after four super

637
00:31:55,160 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 1: Bowl win since is precious. It's just sutting just enough.

638
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a that's you grew up on the

639
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: East Coast, you get it. Um. Greg will point out,

640
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 1: and that's true too. They had an eleven and five

641
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: season last season, but this will be there. I believe

642
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: they're either third or fourth double digit loss season in

643
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: five years. Um. So they've kind of been scuffling a

644
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,719
Speaker 1: little bit since that second Super Bowl's Patriots lost, and

645
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 1: now they could be heading into a dark dark I

646
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 1: think if you win a Super Bowl, you need to

647
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: be quiet for five years. And one more thing, And

648
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 1: I wrote about this um in my gift piece on

649
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: Monday that, um, you know with all this turnover that's

650
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: gonna happen, and the the the idea that they might

651
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 1: be starting over at quarterback. Uh and all that. Like,

652
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: let's see how these Odell Beckham Junior extension talks playoffs.

653
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: That's a good point, they players, that's the thing they have.

654
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: Landing I love the combination of Shepard Beckham and Evan Ingram,

655
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: who I think is incredible, Like there's there's something to

656
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: work with you. I don't think this just like the

657
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 1: Patriots and in a couple of years, I hope fingers cost.

658
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: Now the Giants are facing the same issue that the

659
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: Jets and the Browns and so many other bad teams face.

660
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: Got identify a quarterback and if you don't hit on that,

661
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: and you're in the darkness forever. What was the in

662
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 1: your in your gift chiff piece? There was a third

663
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 1: pronunciation that you offered the reader, Geoff. Well, since society

664
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 1: for some reason has decided not to like come down

665
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: hard on whether it's gift or jiff, why can't I

666
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: throw something else in the ring? What is again that?

667
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 1: It's it's it's catchy. Uh, it's thank you interesting news.

668
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: Countie Fox out of Minnesota coach Mike Zimmer. Uh is

669
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 1: it possible? Is it really possible that Mike Zimmer could

670
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: bench a quarterback coming off a four touchdown performance. Uh,

671
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 1: he said that. Uh, he knows who's going to be

672
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 1: under center against the Rams in Week eleven and a

673
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 1: huge game, but he won't announce whether it's Case Keenum

674
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: or Teddy Bridgewater who just came made his big comeback

675
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 1: from that terrible knee injury. He won't make the announcement

676
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: until tomorrow, Wednesday. Here's the quote from Zimmer. I haven't

677
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 1: sat down to talk to anybody yet, so I'm gonna

678
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 1: wait until Wednesday. Connie, is it really possible case Keenu

679
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 1: gets benched? Because as much as we all love the

680
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater story and we'd love to see further chapters

681
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: added to that fairytale story, Case Keenum doesn't starve to

682
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 1: be benched, right I. I guess there's a chance, but

683
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to happen. I would be

684
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,479
Speaker 1: kind of shocked if they did that, just considering Case

685
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,359
Speaker 1: Keenum right now is playing great like he is. He's

686
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: not a great quarterback, but he's on fire right now,

687
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: and he has the whole team kind of rallying around him.

688
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 1: It just works. So why would you bench him if

689
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,840
Speaker 1: they're winning these games? You've got to just wait until

690
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 1: something happens. I mean, you don't know what you're gonna

691
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,320
Speaker 1: get from Teddy Bridgewater right now with this whole layoff.

692
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: Even if he is getting high speed reps, you're you're

693
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 1: seeing him in practice, and I don't know if it's

694
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: the right decision. When this first came up, usually that

695
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 1: means that the coach is going to make a change,

696
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: Like because they don't say anything, why do you need

697
00:34:57,560 --> 00:34:59,839
Speaker 1: to talk to the team of keeping Case Keenum sin

698
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 1: that's happened. I it sounds like that my radar was

699
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 1: definitely wrong on that that they are going to stay

700
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,439
Speaker 1: with Case Keenum. I expect that to be the announcement.

701
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:13,359
Speaker 1: I was just excited that they had the conviction at

702
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: that moment to make what was an unpopular choice because

703
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: of something they believed in, which is, you know, the

704
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 1: easy thing is to keep Case Keenum playing. He threw

705
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: two of the worst interceptions that you've ever seen that

706
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,760
Speaker 1: brought the Redskins back in that game. There, He's has

707
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 1: a great offensive line plane for him right now, He's

708
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:34,280
Speaker 1: got two great wide receivers. I don't think it's crazy

709
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 1: to think that maybe they see Teddy Bridgewater as a

710
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 1: higher ceiling, and that's going for it. I think Teddy

711
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: Bridgewater is going to play, So I was just excited

712
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 1: and it probably is the right move to keep Case

713
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,919
Speaker 1: going for now. But I think he's gonna play. Here's

714
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,359
Speaker 1: the thing, He's gonna play this season. There's no way

715
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 1: they get they're gonna give him a chance. At some point,

716
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: I will really assume they want to see him, not

717
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: just because of the contract, but because they ultimately believe

718
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 1: he's a better player than than case Keenum. I think

719
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 1: you know that there's future questions around Teddy Bridgewater. You

720
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: don't want to let him escape if without taking bowl.

721
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: But here's the thing, I think the case Keenu he's been.

722
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:12,360
Speaker 1: That's that's why they would do it. Yeah, he's been

723
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:14,320
Speaker 1: all you could ask. I think, just as there's naturally

724
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 1: gonna be a time Teddy Bridgewater lost his job by injury,

725
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 1: which is, you know, bad code for a quarterback, Case

726
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,799
Speaker 1: Keena now shouldn't lose it after taking them as far

727
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: as he had either. They're in a tough position. But

728
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 1: it kind of reminds me in a totally different way

729
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,359
Speaker 1: of when the Patriots won their first Super Bowl and

730
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: it was all. The whole narrative was, oh, poor Drew Bledsoe.

731
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: It's not fair how he's been benched. But yet we

732
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,399
Speaker 1: were excited about this young guy Tom Brady. And then

733
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 1: in the a f C Championship, Bledsoe had to come

734
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 1: in and he delivered this heroic, amazing win to get

735
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: the Patriots into the Super Bowl. Everyone kind of got

736
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 1: their cred And I think that we're gonna see Bridgewater

737
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 1: in a natural way. I do. I don't think you

738
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 1: just about this week with Brock and Peyton. I mean

739
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 1: that was obviously a little bit, but yeah, like I

740
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 1: can see it playing out that Teddy will at some

741
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 1: point come in and in relief for Case if Case

742
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 1: is kind of struggling a little bit, and then at

743
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:05,840
Speaker 1: that point the next week he would be the starter.

744
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 1: But I think they gotta wait until that happens. I

745
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 1: guess my point is, I can totally see Case Keenum

746
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 1: regressing a little bit at some point. He's playing maybe

747
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:15,839
Speaker 1: above his head a little bit right now, and if

748
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 1: that happens, then you have a neat window. But I'm

749
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 1: saying if he keeps playing well, I don't think you

750
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,839
Speaker 1: bench Case Keenum just because you you want to get

751
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 1: a look at Teddy Bridgewater for a big picture perspective

752
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 1: about what you want to do with him. You do

753
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 1: it because I think you're you're in this to make

754
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 1: the super Bowl, and that if they made the decision,

755
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,839
Speaker 1: that alone would kind of make me give it some

756
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 1: credit and give him some conviction. You're not to me,

757
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: like keeping Case keenum in in is kind of running

758
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 1: the ball on third and eight late in the game.

759
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 1: It's like the safe thing to do. This has been

760
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: is maybe the best coaching job of the year. Like

761
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 1: like we're saying that that we have better information than

762
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: I think Pat Shermer has done a better job with

763
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 1: that offense than maybe any offensive coordinator in league other

764
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: than Sean McVeigh. So if they really he's doing great,

765
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: it's very creative. They're getting guys open. The players around

766
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,280
Speaker 1: Case have been really good too, And if they believed

767
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 1: in Teddy that much, I don't know that that seems exciting.

768
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 1: He's also just worth noting he had a type of

769
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:15,800
Speaker 1: knee injury that effects players. Dante Culpepper had a similar injury,

770
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,280
Speaker 1: was never the same. He also hasn't thrown a football

771
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 1: in a real game. But like almost two years, so

772
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 1: you are there's some risks that come with totally unusually

773
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 1: you're taking risk. But I wonder if it was like

774
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,359
Speaker 1: running through their head last week on one of those

775
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 1: case Keenum flyball deep shots, which Adam Feeling came down with.

776
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:35,839
Speaker 1: But while that's in the airs, Pat Shermer thinking, Hm,

777
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 1: I got one of the better deep ball throwers that uh,

778
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 1: you know, we're drafted that year. He's looking good in practice.

779
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 1: I just wonder if that's gonna happen in ultimately. Uh, finally,

780
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,320
Speaker 1: Martelle's Bennett. We didn't really touch on this on Sunday,

781
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 1: so we should just hit on it real quickly. Now

782
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 1: the Shenanigans, I'm calling Shenanigans on everything involving uh. And

783
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 1: you you would think, oh, Dan's gonna start ripping on

784
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 1: the pages. I'm not gonna rip on the page riots.

785
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:02,760
Speaker 1: I don't think they did anything other than just claim Bennett.

786
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 1: But something is weird about this story that Bennett gets

787
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 1: released with the Packers and they're trying to reclaim money

788
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:13,360
Speaker 1: about a shoulder injury. Uh that I don't know the specifics,

789
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 1: but he was calling out the team. Doctors decided he

790
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:20,320
Speaker 1: needed surgery. Gets claimed by the Patriots, even though he

791
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 1: said he didn't want anybody to claim him, and I

792
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: guess he was making that clear. And then his playing

793
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 1: three days later and making some plays in the win

794
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 1: over the Broncos on Sunday night. The whole thing is

795
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,280
Speaker 1: strange to me, and I'm wondering if there's any protocol

796
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 1: broken by anyone along the line, because something doesn't didn't.

797
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 1: He also contacted every team and said, don't pick me

798
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 1: up off waivers or pick me up at all. I'm done.

799
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:43,840
Speaker 1: He told his agent to say that I don't know

800
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 1: how that all played out, is that would really happen,

801
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,320
Speaker 1: but the Patriots it makes it even weird. It's essentially

802
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:51,880
Speaker 1: called that bluff and said to the agent, hey, we're

803
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna claim him. What if there was all right,

804
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 1: what if the Jets claim What if Martel's Bennett's agent

805
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 1: you know, had a and call it the pass and said, hey,

806
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 1: we're going to get out of this contract, Come get

807
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 1: us when we're when we hit the open. Mark well

808
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 1: I played. It was the Packers choice to cut him,

809
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 1: and it sounds like maybe they were going to go

810
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 1: after his money that they weren't. It's hard to say that.

811
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,400
Speaker 1: The I kind of get the idea that if you're

812
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 1: going to play through a torn rate rotator cuff, that

813
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:21,720
Speaker 1: that's up to the player. I don't have a huge

814
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 1: problem with him deciding, okay, I would play for the

815
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:27,479
Speaker 1: Patriots through a torn road tatter cuff maybe in the final,

816
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 1: and not for the Packers. The problem was all the

817
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,840
Speaker 1: social media messages where he's going after the Packers and

818
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 1: those two stories don't add up, like because you're mad,

819
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:37,239
Speaker 1: he just can't do it any other way, that why

820
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 1: can't you just go silent? Exactly? And what happened in

821
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:42,880
Speaker 1: a different way, Yeah, I mean he said that the

822
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:46,320
Speaker 1: Packers doctor was trying to pressure him into into playing

823
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 1: with the injury, and then he played so and he

824
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 1: said that he couldn't say no to Belichick, and I

825
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 1: think it was telling. It's worth noting that a ton

826
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:57,240
Speaker 1: of Packers players came out in support of the doctor

827
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 1: and against Martella's Bennett, current players, but you just don't

828
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 1: see it too often. Um, And here's a quote from

829
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 1: Marty Bennett after trying to get the shoulder fixed and

830
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 1: getting waived. You've got that vengeance in your heart, Like

831
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 1: all right, that's how you're gonna do it, Blanket, Let's go, Paul. Yeah,

832
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 1: you don't get to declare vengeance on this one, Marty Bennett.

833
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 1: That was from the Boston Herald. By the way, No, Marty,

834
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:23,720
Speaker 1: we don't know declaring vengeance. Don't spin this into something

835
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 1: that it is. I love you, Marty, all right, that's

836
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:31,319
Speaker 1: what's happening in the news. It is time now. Oh yeah,

837
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 1: Shoulders of Greatness presented by Head and Shoulders. Listen. How

838
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 1: does shoulders in Greatness? How does that advertising campaign tie

839
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 1: into Thursday night football? Mark, take it away? I will

840
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 1: uh am. I supposed to just sampo. Okay, I was

841
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 1: gonna say I didn't have a lot of shampoo hot

842
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: takes there do have it in my bathroom? Anyway. Here

843
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 1: is the matchup. It is the Pittsburgh Steelers Mark against

844
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Tight Tunes A very good a f c

845
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:04,279
Speaker 1: uh hell could be a playoff preview. Uh. I know you, Mark,

846
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:06,880
Speaker 1: I know what you've been saying on this podcast. You

847
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 1: have been less than excited by Tennessee the football being

848
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 1: played there, despite their good record. So this feels like

849
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,319
Speaker 1: a major put up or shut up game for them.

850
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 1: They're on a four game win streak, and those wins

851
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 1: are against the Cults, Brown's, Ravens, and Bengals, four teams.

852
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 1: I do not respect this season for the most part,

853
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:27,320
Speaker 1: and I think the four game win streak is a

854
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:29,880
Speaker 1: tad fraudulent. That said you took care of business. It

855
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 1: is a good matchup. I think if you're the Tennessee Titans,

856
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,319
Speaker 1: it's the same thing we seem to say every game

857
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 1: about them. Go prove it. You've done it over the

858
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 1: last it has to do more. But if they're the

859
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 1: Titans six and three, not say if they If they

860
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 1: I want to see them a played Pittsburgh close. I'm

861
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 1: trying to do this while Dana's issue that you believe

862
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:57,400
Speaker 1: in us, you'll believe well. Prov tell me. One thing

863
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 1: about the Titans is that you're special, sting of your

864
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:05,359
Speaker 1: inner id like this, this is the worst bro that's

865
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 1: Damna and you're doing damnash X impression of you to

866
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 1: throw in some pizza references for sure, so that this

867
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 1: is their proved game you're saying. I mean, if you

868
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 1: want to be talked about as a playoff team and

869
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:20,279
Speaker 1: it's a playoff preview, then a playoff team would go

870
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:22,800
Speaker 1: into Pittsburgh, and they would, they would make this a

871
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 1: game that goes all the way to the end. And

872
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 1: it's fascinating because Pittsburgh is not unbeatable. If this is

873
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 1: some Pittsburgh romp. The Titans to me are just another

874
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 1: team cascading on a river to nowhere. It's amazing how

875
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:39,840
Speaker 1: much and it's somewhat to their credit, how high the expectation,

876
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 1: like processing a river to nowhere in the brain. Well,

877
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 1: there's always two or three playoff teams like that. They're

878
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 1: just it's yeah, we get it, you're gonna playoff, playoff game,

879
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:49,800
Speaker 1: and none of us believe in you don't be that

880
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 1: team Tennessee. Well, we like them a lot last year.

881
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 1: I like it. I'm just it's so big. It's such

882
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:59,839
Speaker 1: a big image that I'm struggling to be well done.

883
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,320
Speaker 1: You well, you were getting over your I tried to

884
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 1: prove it to you that I could come up with

885
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:06,719
Speaker 1: something for you to feeds into. What an ocean, right,

886
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 1: I mean, if it's water, you some major water. Go

887
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:16,799
Speaker 1: on go on about what I know, whatever you're gonna say. Uh,

888
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: they have The Titans defense is the thing I'm watching

889
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 1: in this game, because they faced a terrible stretch of offenses.

890
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 1: When you said those four names, like what really stuck

891
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:26,800
Speaker 1: out is like none of those teams can move the

892
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 1: ball at all. And so this is the Titans defense.

893
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 1: We had a lot of questions about. They look a

894
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 1: little better statistically now if they're facing that. Now you

895
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 1: gotta face the Steelers team, which on paper should have

896
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 1: a good offense, and yet when you watch them, that

897
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:39,279
Speaker 1: Colts game was a microcosm of their season where there

898
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 1: were so many open plays that they had that either

899
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger missed or Antonio Brown dropped one, or the timing

900
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 1: was off with one of the young receivers. Like these

901
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:50,919
Speaker 1: plays are there for the team and they're and they're

902
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 1: not making them. And Joe Haden he's gonna be out

903
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:56,879
Speaker 1: for this game, I don't know for a while, out

904
00:44:56,960 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 1: for possible it could be as little three. Well it's

905
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 1: non surgery, so right, Mike Mitchell, I mean he's banged up,

906
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:09,280
Speaker 1: So you're looking at some key guys really for that defense,

907
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 1: it's been really improving. Mariotta was running last week, and

908
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 1: I think that totally changes the Titans, almost as much

909
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 1: as Sam Newton running changes the Carolina Panthers. Derrick Henry

910
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 1: was getting into the mix a little bit more. They

911
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 1: held the ball for a while. I think you could

912
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 1: feel good about that. There's a little bit of a

913
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 1: revenge game factor here with Dick Lebo going up to

914
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 1: pick to get worked up. And we've we've been hard

915
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:35,920
Speaker 1: on this Titans team. If I was a Titans fan

916
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,440
Speaker 1: out there, I kind of my response would be, hey,

917
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:41,719
Speaker 1: we Hey guys, we won five games combined between two

918
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 1: thousand and fourteen and two thousand and fifteen. We were

919
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 1: worse than the Cleveland Browns. We were the worst team

920
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:49,239
Speaker 1: in the league. Give us a little bit of something.

921
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:52,839
Speaker 1: You know, they have come a long way, and if

922
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 1: they can get to ten wins or something, it's like

923
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:57,239
Speaker 1: they have made some serious You say, we've been hard

924
00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 1: on the We were, we praised them, we overprayed some

925
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 1: last season, and they didn't fulfill it. They disappointed us

926
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 1: and they but they had an identity, and especially when

927
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:08,360
Speaker 1: Mariota's running. The line has not been the same as

928
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 1: year and I watched that offense, I say, what are

929
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:13,280
Speaker 1: you about. The line's gonna be a problem on on Thursday.

930
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 1: The line has not been good and they don't make

931
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 1: sense if they don't have it if you if what

932
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 1: you're saying is that we should be giving that this

933
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 1: franchise credit for not being one of the worst teams

934
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:25,360
Speaker 1: in the league anymore. Okay, here's a lollipop. Take it.

935
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:27,719
Speaker 1: But we're being told that the Titans should be viewed

936
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:31,880
Speaker 1: as like a real a FC defender by you, specifically,

937
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 1: you've been pumping up the Titans for two years if

938
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:36,280
Speaker 1: you want to, if you want to direct people involved,

939
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 1: you did year. Anyway, Do you think the Titans are

940
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:43,799
Speaker 1: gonna or not? I think they're okay. I think they

941
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:45,719
Speaker 1: can get better, like I have. I don't think they've

942
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 1: been good this year. My I guess my point is

943
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:50,520
Speaker 1: like they have climbed out of that darkness and they've

944
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 1: done it in a pretty steady win loss fashion. They

945
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 1: went from two to three to seven or eight too.

946
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 1: Now they're fighting for the playoffs. It's like they if

947
00:46:57,880 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 1: if I was a fan of their team, I'm still

948
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:02,920
Speaker 1: pretty happy about where they. Yeah, they have a good GM.

949
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 1: There's a lot of reasons for hope. I think what

950
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 1: we're saying is we're not saying, oh, we don't think

951
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 1: you're a good team. It's more like we don't we

952
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:12,839
Speaker 1: don't sit around for years. In this year halfway there,

953
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 1: you're a wild card team that gets axed by a

954
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 1: better team. You've you've done two years of good progress,

955
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 1: Take the next step. This is a great game on

956
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 1: national television to change. We change our thoughts about these

957
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 1: teams on recency bias every week, especially based on national

958
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 1: TV games. Change our opinion on you by Sunday night.

959
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:36,279
Speaker 1: And I'm not that angry guys like watch pretty kind,

960
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 1: you know what. I want them to become better, Like

961
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:40,360
Speaker 1: they're a fun team if they could be. I watched

962
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 1: them yesterday again not blown away by the performance. And

963
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:48,239
Speaker 1: again nice job by Mariotta leading them on that last drive.

964
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:50,319
Speaker 1: DeMarco Murray made a play to get in the end

965
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:55,400
Speaker 1: zone there um and congratulations. I'm being pretty good, okay,

966
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 1: but are you actually worth? Are you? Are you? Because

967
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:01,920
Speaker 1: the type I have that titoon come at me. It's

968
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:04,399
Speaker 1: always about respect us as like a really good team,

969
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 1: all right, So yeah it is. It's a prove it

970
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:08,920
Speaker 1: game right now, and but I'm not ready to do it.

971
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 1: And you know where I come down on this. I'm

972
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:15,320
Speaker 1: so not ready to love Titoons as a team that

973
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:18,320
Speaker 1: can go into Pittsburgh in a big spot on the

974
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:23,239
Speaker 1: road with the lights on and get out of here, titoons,

975
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:27,360
Speaker 1: I'm locking it off with the Black and Gold. I

976
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 1: love it and you on that note. By the way,

977
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 1: if we want to talk about Pittsburgh, you're the number

978
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:32,719
Speaker 1: one in the a f C right now. You want

979
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 1: to be talked about as a true Super Bowl contender,

980
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:37,360
Speaker 1: you need to take this Titans team and beat them

981
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:42,359
Speaker 1: by twenty points at home. It's the second straight game

982
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:44,440
Speaker 1: they haven't been able to run the ball. They're averaging

983
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 1: two point nine yards per carry like that. That was awful.

984
00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:49,600
Speaker 1: They need to and the Titans are good against the run,

985
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:52,600
Speaker 1: so that's gonna be tough. Uh. I feel like this

986
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:55,320
Speaker 1: Dan Lock last week really shook him up that he

987
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 1: locked the what was maybe the most one sided game

988
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:00,720
Speaker 1: of the year up the wrong way. Now he's showing

989
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 1: kind of zero human courage. If if you're gonna give me, uh,

990
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 1: if you're gonna give me zero human courage on the type,

991
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:10,440
Speaker 1: I mean, they're like a they're like a touchdown plus underdog. Here.

992
00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:12,880
Speaker 1: Who's thinking the Titans can win this game? A lot

993
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:15,440
Speaker 1: of people probably they're just saying there, you've got to

994
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:17,399
Speaker 1: get back on that wind Street. I've been saying they're

995
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:20,000
Speaker 1: a bigger They're a much bigger time underdog than the game.

996
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 1: You said I was showing zero human courage. So I'm

997
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:25,840
Speaker 1: just pointing that out. The Steelers were down three to

998
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:29,880
Speaker 1: the week, right, but they're they're at home. They're one

999
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 1: of the best teams in the league. You know, take

1000
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:34,839
Speaker 1: your precious Titoons pick them this week. I would never

1001
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:37,240
Speaker 1: pick them in this I wouldn't say you put yourself

1002
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 1: in a Joan of Arcs scenario there, but it's you

1003
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:42,200
Speaker 1: know you're gonna get back. I'm just saying, you can't

1004
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:44,680
Speaker 1: dish it out. If you can't you said zero human

1005
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:47,920
Speaker 1: courage last week with Titans Bengals, It's like that's a

1006
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:50,760
Speaker 1: much closer matchup. It's too kind of just my favorite

1007
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 1: subplot of the podcast. Well in because your opinion, Greg,

1008
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:59,160
Speaker 1: you're spread is not factual. But there there's a way

1009
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:01,880
Speaker 1: we actually did it. Last year, we would measure it.

1010
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:03,920
Speaker 1: It had to be under a certain point. This game

1011
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:05,520
Speaker 1: would not be under that point. I don't even know

1012
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:09,640
Speaker 1: what a point. Yeah, what is that? I don't know

1013
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:12,840
Speaker 1: what that is. I'm just saying what you think. So

1014
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:15,359
Speaker 1: you think I shouldn't be able to talk up. I'm saying,

1015
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 1: then don't throw out the you know, let's get into zero.

1016
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:22,399
Speaker 1: I thought you about this because I kind of feel

1017
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:23,759
Speaker 1: like you care about it a lot. I feel like

1018
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:25,800
Speaker 1: I feel like everybody kind of cares. Yeah. I just

1019
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 1: wanted to help this off and watch it from my

1020
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:31,160
Speaker 1: house all weekend. Is the best stand not like anyone

1021
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:33,399
Speaker 1: ever coming at of the same way that he comes

1022
00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:35,879
Speaker 1: at people. It's like, okay, this like like, of course

1023
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 1: the Steelers. I guess I just respect people more that

1024
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:40,319
Speaker 1: aren't in last place in this competition. If it came

1025
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:42,560
Speaker 1: from somebody else, maybe I would hear it. Playing for

1026
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:44,400
Speaker 1: next year, we're going to get that draft pick. It's

1027
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:47,920
Speaker 1: going to change everything. I really feel almost tested to

1028
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:49,920
Speaker 1: do another lock off, but I think that that's I

1029
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:51,680
Speaker 1: gotta keep my win stream. Are you gonna lock one

1030
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:53,320
Speaker 1: game or two games this week and then pick the

1031
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 1: team that won? Great? One other note fired up, I

1032
00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:01,560
Speaker 1: know this is why are you taking well take wild eyes?

1033
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 1: Where's where I mean, where's the you know, the shadow?

1034
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:08,799
Speaker 1: I learned it early in knowing Dan. Don't ever don't

1035
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 1: come at him. It's not really worth it. It's not

1036
00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:13,439
Speaker 1: really a well that sounds like a coward as well. Yeah,

1037
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:19,680
Speaker 1: well it's just that, are you done? Let's go? Here

1038
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:21,480
Speaker 1: we go? Finally do you have to go? By the way,

1039
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:24,920
Speaker 1: it's that time of the week where I just leave

1040
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 1: in the middle of the pod. Well, I have to

1041
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:30,360
Speaker 1: unplug her computer. All right. Look at that team Shoulders

1042
00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:34,239
Speaker 1: of greatness. By the way, there's an football preview. I

1043
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:37,400
Speaker 1: think Head and Shoulders got a meaty sponsored segment, right,

Speaker 1: things said, some not so nice things said. But this

1064
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:52,719
Speaker 1: one particular review from Angelino um really got to me.

1065
00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:55,400
Speaker 1: Four stars out of five, and I want everyone to

1066
00:52:55,520 --> 00:53:00,960
Speaker 1: listen to it um before um, before make judgments. Don't

1067
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:03,760
Speaker 1: be sensitive about it. Like Greg just got very sensitive

1068
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:06,839
Speaker 1: in our last segment. Don't don't I was the one

1069
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 1: that got sensitive in that last the listeners to note

1070
00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:12,160
Speaker 1: that I was the one that got sensitive. Yeah, so

1071
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:15,160
Speaker 1: you know, Greg keep it together and took it all

1072
00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:20,799
Speaker 1: in great, great humor. Greg again, keep it together here. Um.

1073
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 1: What what we're gonna hear is constructive criticism. M hm, Okay,

1074
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 1: here we go. Like West probably wrote this, but here

1075
00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:35,840
Speaker 1: we go, Angeline, good con good podcast, but but capitalized. Okay,

1076
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:38,800
Speaker 1: four stars out of five so far the best NFL

1077
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:43,160
Speaker 1: podcast I've heard, but it's still somewhat frustrating. Some criticism

1078
00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:48,440
Speaker 1: intended to be constructive one a little too much cutesie banter,

1079
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:51,200
Speaker 1: even though it's less than on other ships. This show

1080
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:54,960
Speaker 1: won't help. That's fair. Please just talk more about the game.

1081
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:58,479
Speaker 1: There's more than enough content there. Bullet points up front

1082
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:02,880
Speaker 1: are preferred than a conversation. Are you bullet point? I

1083
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:05,959
Speaker 1: have no idea to oral bullet points. Use the team

1084
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:10,759
Speaker 1: names more. Please use fewer pronouns. Mark pay attentions like

1085
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:15,480
Speaker 1: them and they personally, I don't remember every player's name

1086
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:17,960
Speaker 1: in the league. This should be easy to do without

1087
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:20,440
Speaker 1: dumbing the analysis down for the geeks out there, and

1088
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:23,680
Speaker 1: we'll bring in more listeners. Example, they should have played

1089
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:26,759
Speaker 1: so and so more often. Who are they? This point

1090
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:29,480
Speaker 1: actually maybe higher on my list than number one above.

1091
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:32,879
Speaker 1: Could easily edit his copy here. But yeah, I think

1092
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:36,319
Speaker 1: pronouns are always used. After you mentioned the name. We've

1093
00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:38,800
Speaker 1: set the table, I would say listen a little closer.

1094
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:43,160
Speaker 1: Use of pronouns actually makes it hard to follow the conversation.

1095
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:47,920
Speaker 1: All Caps now use team names. Three. Some up the

1096
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:50,480
Speaker 1: analysis at the end of the seing this guy by

1097
00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:52,920
Speaker 1: making him the special Guy of the month about a

1098
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:56,200
Speaker 1: particular matchup. I had to listen to one matchup three times,

1099
00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:59,160
Speaker 1: and I still don't know ultimately who the speakers think

1100
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:02,000
Speaker 1: is going to win. Yes, someone will quote lock it

1101
00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 1: up sometimes, but sometimes just the opposite will happen. That

1102
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:08,560
Speaker 1: was the start and finish of the of the review.

1103
00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:12,440
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the review of the week. I I'll

1104
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 1: like what Greg said. It's here decade. Yeah, I mean

1105
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:19,280
Speaker 1: we the pronoun comes after we've set the table, typically

1106
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:21,600
Speaker 1: with the team name. I would we would never say

1107
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:25,160
Speaker 1: like they are winning a lot without having mentioned that

1108
00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:27,480
Speaker 1: the Panthers are the team that we're talking. I may

1109
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:31,480
Speaker 1: go pronoun heavy just to agitate Angelo at this point,

1110
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:34,960
Speaker 1: he is a problem. All right, that's it. Let's do

1111
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 1: one more read here. Hey, Husky tools. They say in

1112
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:41,399
Speaker 1: life there are no guarantees. They say, there's no short thing. Well,

1113
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:45,160
Speaker 1: I'm here to tell you there might just be one exception.

1114
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:49,600
Speaker 1: Husky started making things for people who make things, and

1115
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:52,960
Speaker 1: they did it with common sense. That meant adding function,

1116
00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:56,919
Speaker 1: never frills, and making tools that stood the test of time.

1117
00:55:57,040 --> 00:56:01,120
Speaker 1: Ninety three years later, Husky is still making quality, crafted,

1118
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:07,239
Speaker 1: durable tools. And Husky stands by their hand tools for life.

1119
00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 1: So they gave them a lifetime warranty. That's pretty good. Actually,

1120
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:14,120
Speaker 1: that's solid. That's all a lifetime warranty. That's pretty good.

1121
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:17,279
Speaker 1: Like the Husky, Like the Husky ratchet with it's a

1122
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:20,560
Speaker 1: hundred position ratcheting design and a ten percent longer handle

1123
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:25,560
Speaker 1: than standard ratchets to do what other ratchets can't. Or

1124
00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:29,240
Speaker 1: the virtually unbreakable Husky flashlight with the ability to withstand

1125
00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:33,280
Speaker 1: a thirty ft dropt you throw it out the window.

1126
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:38,320
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. If you're holding the flashlight. Here's the

1127
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:40,960
Speaker 1: bad news. If you're holding the flashlight and you fall

1128
00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:45,080
Speaker 1: thirty ft the flashlight lives. You probably will not. Well,

1129
00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:47,359
Speaker 1: you weren't made by Husky. That's your fault. But loved

1130
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:50,319
Speaker 1: one will get that flashlight, so that's good, and don't

1131
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:54,160
Speaker 1: forget it could work up to one meter of water submersion.

1132
00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:57,480
Speaker 1: Both guaranteed for a lifetime, but built so you won't

1133
00:56:57,520 --> 00:56:59,160
Speaker 1: need it now. That's a pretty short thing to Husky.
