1
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: Watson and checked in escaping, gonna run for it. You

2
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: get a flock of me. I just gonna get there

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: first down and Watson, it's the check for a touchdown

4
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: yards Just the start of the Around the NFL Podcast

5
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: present to my head and shoulders the Shawn Watson's forty

6
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: nine yards scamper on third and long, the only touchdown

7
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: of the game on Thursday Night Football, and that's all

8
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: that the Houston Texans needed, a thirteen nine win over

9
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals, who lose for the second straight game

10
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,959
Speaker 1: in their building, a terrible loss for the Bengals. Dan

11
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: Hans is here along with Greg Rosenthal, will get Mark

12
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: Sessler into the mix just in a little bit to

13
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: go through all the week two games. At first, we

14
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: talked about the events of Thursday, and we'll start with

15
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,639
Speaker 1: the Texans. Greg Rosenthal, the Shaun Watson was not brilliant.

16
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: In fact, he looked very shaky early on, and this

17
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: his first start on his twenty second birthday. But one

18
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: big play was enough on Thursday night. Hey, when it mattered,

19
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: Watson was cooking. Like those drums in the background, you know,

20
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: leading into cook Greg, I mean, that's getting be fired

21
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: up like Watson, he had less than five yards per attempt.

22
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 1: That's that's the Gabbard zone throwing the ball. But I

23
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: was impressed that when they absolutely needed a drive, that's

24
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: when they stopped, you know, running first and second down.

25
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 1: In the fourth quarter, he has his best drive of

26
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: the game, which was essentially summarized by let's throw it

27
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: to DeAndre Hopkins every down, let him be more physical

28
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: than the Bengals cornerbacks, and they ate up six minutes

29
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: of clock. So it was an extremely conservative game plan

30
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: by Bill O'Brien. But these are the kind of wins

31
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: he's looking for, ugly wins as he builds this offense

32
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: around Deshaun Watson and let's j. J. Watt and the

33
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: defense when the game they are really the big stars. Yeah.

34
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: The defense, uh played extremely well and once again made

35
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: Cincinnati's offense and they have a lot of problems Cincinnati

36
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: um on both sides of well, but especially on offense,

37
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: just not often. Alright, wit wow, Okay, I think that's well,

38
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: what are you really excited about? We'll get to that.

39
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 1: What are you really excited about with the Bengals is

40
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: they now try to dig out of an O two

41
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: hole with only six home games left on the schedule.

42
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: But I think the interesting thing with Watson THO Greg

43
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: was how early in the game, how utterly I wouldn't

44
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: I don't want to say he's scared, because this guy

45
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: has been on the biggest stage in college and he's

46
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: got he was born for this type of spotlight. But

47
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: how clearly the NFL game he seemed a little spooked

48
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 1: early on, certainly not comfortable early on. And what happened,

49
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: And Chris Collins with did a nice job illuminating this

50
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: on the telecast on NFL Network said, as the game

51
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: wore on, you could tell him starting to get his

52
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: footing a little bit and get comfortable. And I don't

53
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: think he's able to have that drive at the end

54
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 1: of the game. Uh if he's not able to calm

55
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: himself down. And I think that's what he did. Yeah,

56
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: and that it kind of explains in one game why

57
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: de Sean John Watson should be playing over Tom Savage.

58
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: This offense is going to struggle no matter what. They

59
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 1: tried to have some extra offensive linemen to shore a

60
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: pass protection that mostly helped, although it didn't help stop

61
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: Geno Atkins. That's something to get excited about. I mean,

62
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: Geno Atkins was the best player on the field, but

63
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: you're only gonna get better with Watson with the experience.

64
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: So it's something to build off. And if you can

65
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: win some games along the way, then you're gonna hang

66
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: around in the a f C. South and yes, on

67
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati side of the ball. I thought it was

68
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: a dreadful performance again by Andy Dalton. He didn't It

69
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: doesn't look as bad in the box scores last week

70
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: when he had five turnovers now twenty four. If you

71
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: didn't watch the game, they're like, Okay, you had a

72
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: normal game, but you're just not moving the ball. And

73
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: I tweeted it during the game because if you're a

74
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: fan of a team like me I'm a Jet fan,

75
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: you get frustrated because these losses happen when you don't

76
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: have a quarterback that can really lead an offense well.

77
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: And right now, Andy Dalton's lost, let's face it, because

78
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: he looks like two thousand twelve Mark Sanchez uh not

79
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: able to consistently move the offense, missing throws, making strange decisions.

80
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: I didn't like that he was targeting Eric Ericson with

81
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: a game on the line, forgetting what this guy's name,

82
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: and they didn't even give him a chance to catch it,

83
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: or reminded it reminded me of a play that didn't

84
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: matter from last week's game by Dalton. The game was

85
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 1: over at that point, but he threw it out of

86
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: bounds on fourth down in that game, and it's like,

87
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: what what are you thinking? He didn't give ericson a

88
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: chance he had two or three, and I think that's

89
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 1: what you're thinking about wide open receivers that could have

90
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: been big place the monster play left on the field

91
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: that that he missed. And Marvin Lewis said after the game,

92
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: you know there that Dalton's job is secure and they

93
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: gotta let Andy be Andy. But you know he looks

94
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 1: more like two thousand twelve Andy Dalton, or what he

95
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: looks like is you know, after midnight primetime Andy Dalton.

96
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: I'm not into QB win after midnight, after the game

97
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 1: it gets late. You know, that's the press. It's just crazy.

98
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: And I think this is why people have a lower

99
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: opinion of Andy Dalton than he probably deserves overall that

100
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 1: he has had so many poor prime time games his teams.

101
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: I'm not into QB wins, but it's five his teams

102
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: are five and twelve in prime time and they win

103
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: two out of three games other than that, and it's

104
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: just I don't think I think it's just random ultimately,

105
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 1: but this is a limited passing attack and they can't

106
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: kind of figure out what they want to do. I mean,

107
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: he he needs to have a bounce back effort soon

108
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: because a J. McCarron is a guy that's been kind

109
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: of waiting in the wings, and they and Dalton, you know,

110
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: got excuses last year and I thought on a lot

111
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: of levels last year he deserved the past. But to

112
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: ope up the season like this, playing as poorly as

113
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: as he is, something might have to change. And here's

114
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: something telling Greg before we get out of here. Um,

115
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: this comes from a local guy uh w k r

116
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 1: C TV and Cincinnati, a tweet from Richard Skinner. Several

117
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 1: Bengals players in the locker room said out loud, we

118
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: just lost to the worst team in the league. But

119
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: I think the straation is on high and that seems

120
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: like a shot at the Texans, but that probably is

121
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: more a product of this team knows it's a lot

122
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: better than this and they're playing way below their ability. Well,

123
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: I think it's a shot at the Texans offense because

124
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 1: the Texans defense is good. But when you're a defensive player,

125
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 1: I have a feeling that's who's maybe saying these things.

126
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: And you see Andy Dawton's going up against the Texans

127
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: defense that's missing their two starting cornerbacks late in that game,

128
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: Kevin Johnson Jonathan Joseph were both out, and yet Cincinnati

129
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: was not able to attack it. That's extreme frustration. Only

130
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: twelve first sounds to start owing to at home with

131
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: the fewest amount of points in the first two weeks

132
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: for any NFL team since the two thousand and nine

133
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: Rams Draft. It's as rough as it gets. And they're

134
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: going to Green Bay next week. So that is a

135
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 1: recipe for In three the game on the liney target

136
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: Alex Ricksson, I don't get it now. We're gonna go

137
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: through the rest of the week. Two games. Take it

138
00:06:54,760 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: away me be Around the NFL podcast kids seeing the

139
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:08,640

143
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: What was that? That was almost like a fever dream

144
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: of a money tag. That was amazing. Little Desposito shout out, like,

145
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: I think the most popular song video and YouTube history

146
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: about that. I mean, I know that with the pop

147
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: culture about sixteen words in Spanish, but I will say this.

148
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: I saw Money here this morning very early. And I

149
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: know he's a busy guy, he's the Chargers radio announcer,

150
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: but I believe he came in solely at one point

151
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: this week just to record that. Wow, so very committed

152
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: to our show. I appreciate that it's hard to find

153
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: that sometimes that Money Smith are into what a guy.

154

00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: You heard at the very top of the show the

157
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: Texans Bengals recap Greg and I took you through that,

158
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: but now we're gonna go through all the rest of

159
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: the Week two games previewing them and mark what a

160
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: Week two it's gonna be. I love Week two because

161
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: I think Week one creates all these mans trying to

162
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: sandbag you there, but then you actually turned into I

163
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: had to take that cameout you whistling. But I really

164
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: do like week to it equalized a lot of nonsense.

165
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: That's gonna be our our new running segment. Week three.

166
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: Mark what a week. I had to come up with

167
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: seventeen individual perspectives on each week. I mean, it becomes

168
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 1: a complete, you know, visual bizarness by the time I

169
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,079
Speaker 1: gets this eight or nine. So we're gonna go through

170
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: all the games, and I'll tay you I'm in the

171
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: games because it gains what ain't no Hurricane'm gonna stop

172
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 1: the NFL this week, okay, because that means thirty two teams,

173
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: two teams already played two equals thirty thirty divided by

174
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: fifteen equals two two teams play in every game times

175
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: fifteen fifteen games to talk about. I got there. I

176
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: think the equation broke down. Yeah, I got a lot longer.

177
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: I like wrote a couple of texts in that I got.

178
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: It's like in The Beautiful Mind with with Russell Crowe.

179
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: It just it was all kind of like I fell

180
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 1: into the numbers themselves. But then I came out and

181
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: knew that we're talking about different than that. Um, all right, guys,

182
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: we have so muhould get to we should just get

183
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: straight into it, And why don't we go, Mark, These

184
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,719
Speaker 1: are very heavy times for Mark Sessler, who's had an

185
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: entire week of the football. Cognis sent the talking about

186
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: what a nice effort it was from the Browns, and

187
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: then Big Ben Rothelisberger saying, oh, keep an eye on

188
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: the Browns. They're special. Uh So, now what do they do?

189
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: They travel to Baltimore, the old nemesis, the team that

190
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 1: stole their Lombardi. Some people would say, not me. I

191
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: think those people are correct. But continue, What did Ben

192
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: say again? Ben? Ben said? Essentially, he said, essentially, we're glad,

193
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: We're glad that we met them in week one versus

194
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: when they really, you know, get going. Well, we'll see

195
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 1: if that's how it actually plays out. What you were saying,

196
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: set up your bed. Those Browns are for real. Ben

197
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger direct quote, all right, here we go there playing

198
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 1: the Ravens in Baltimore. Ravens want to know the defense.

199
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: We know all about how good they looked last week

200
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: and shutting out Cincinnati. Mark, what do you think about

201
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: this this matchup? First of all, how do you think

202
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,439
Speaker 1: that Sean Kaiser is gonna fair now that he's gonna

203
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: have another tough game against another division opponent. Is this

204
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: trouble for him this week to matchup? Well, I think

205
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: I don't think you're gonna run into a tougher defense

206
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: potentially all season. And it's hard as a rookie quarterback

207
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: to deal with Pittsburgh in Week one, who took him

208
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: down seven times seven sacks, to now have to go

209
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: deal with a Terrell Suggs led defense that last week,

210
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: Terrell Suggs absolutely owned Cincinnati's front five dominant, but so

211
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 1: did so did a rash of other Ravens players. So

212
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 1: it is a challenge right away for Cleveland's rebuilt offensive line.

213
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: And there's no reason to think you can run on

214
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: the Ravens because I believe only the very best running

215
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: teams are going to have a chance against this Ravens team.

216
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: They would be my pick to be the number one

217
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: run defense at the end of the year because of

218
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: Brandon Williams, because Pierce who's really stepping up as a

219
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: as a big time player, and that means you're asking

220
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: a lot of Deshaun Kaiser, which they did last week too.

221
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the thing that's so striking watching him.

222
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: It's a bunch of five seven step drops. It's asking

223
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: him to read the whole field. It's a lot of

224
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: deep throws like they are asking him to do some

225
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 1: next level stuff. He's a lot of fun to watch,

226
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: but I think he was protected pretty well. Those sacks

227
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: were mostly on him. Yeah, I mean at least four

228
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: of them. I thought we're in I Cleveland's wide receiver corps.

229
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 1: It concerns me that they drafted four wide receivers last year.

230
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 1: None of them have really stepped into a role that

231
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: you could call a difference maker. Three of them are

232
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: essentially ghosts at this point, and you don't really and

233
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: Kenny Britt have someone you clean on. Corey Coleman is

234
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: the one one guy I've seen growth through him. That

235
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,079
Speaker 1: touchdown catch where he got jarred at the line. I mean,

236
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: he's he's a strong wide receiver. I want to ask

237
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: you a question quickly, Mark, which is that you've you've

238
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: talked like for so long that oh that you're having

239
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: to face Ben Roethlisberger and Flacco. Now you have an

240
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: a f C North quarterback that you can call to

241
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: sneak it on third and one and pick up a

242
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,599
Speaker 1: fourth the first down like he did last week, or

243
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 1: a fourth down on the goal and now you've got

244
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: that guy. Yeah, I mean it's been literally since the

245
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: question there, you know, nineteen four, you'd have to go

246
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: back to when then he had a competent quarterback. I think,

247
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: um question one more Browns question I have, what what

248
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: is the deal? What's going on behind the scenes you

249
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 1: guys think with Kenny Britt because it did strike me

250
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: a bit odd that he dropped the pass. All right,

251
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: it's a bad drop. Let's calm down. Like Hugh Jackson

252
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,199
Speaker 1: came after Britt in the media, and you just wonder, uh,

253
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: if you know, maybe Britts can be a knucklehead behind

254
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: the scenes, if if this is the starting of a

255
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 1: souring relationship right off the bat, which wouldn't be good

256
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: because they need Brittain they do because it was either

257
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: Britt or Terrell prior essentially in that role. And Britt

258
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: had a good season last year. But I think, you know,

259
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: in terms, sometimes the Kenning britt experience has gone sour.

260
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: We know that, and I think Hugh Jackson was really

261
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: calling him out last I mean, it was a disappointing

262
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,959
Speaker 1: showing for Britt. You think that the Browns can win

263
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: this game, though you're pretty confident that they Well, here's

264
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: what I think. I I think the one way is

265
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: that that Baltimore's offense, especially for me, when you take

266
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: Danny wood Head out of that that mix. He had

267
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 1: a big role last week. They ran the well the ball. Okay,

268
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: I don't think that Joe flaccoes all the way back.

269
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: I do think that Cleveland is going to do something

270
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 1: in this game and get to one and one. That

271
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: is why they are they are. I'm locking it up

272
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: every year. I must do this early and I've been

273
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: humiliated did probably five times in a row with the

274
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,959
Speaker 1: early season Brown's lock But they are going one in one. Wow. Okay,

275
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 1: I got the Ravens. Yeah, I'll think the Ravens. But

276
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 1: I think it's a close defensive game. Kudos. Do you

277
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: want to peek? But behind the eyes with Mark Sessler

278
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: into his soul, he could try to downplay his excitement

279
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: all he wants. He's picking the Browns on the road

280
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: in week two, eighteen is sixteen. Let's move on and

281
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: talk about a inter conference game in tro help me

282
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: out of conference g out of conference game. The Buffalo

283
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: Bills took care of business against the Jets in Week one.

284
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: They had to and and frankly, they probably should have

285
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: took business a little more thoroughly. Now they go on

286
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: the road. It was a little unnecessariated the bills they

287
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: want in week one? What do what do you want

288
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: from me? By the way, I'm dead wrong. It's not

289
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: it's it's out of conference. It's not intro. I wasn't

290
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: he don't even know what the matchup was. Okay, So

291
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: the Bills now go on the road to face the Panthers,

292
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, we did a network hit on

293
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: here on this on this UM campus and if old

294
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: network about who do you trust Cam Newton or Tyrod Taylor?

295
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: Greg Why would people not be trusting Cam Newton right now?

296
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: Because he had four or five throws last week that

297
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: just were wildly off target, I mean ten fifteen yards.

298
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: He had an out route that lost a little steam

299
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: on the way there. Now, he also stepped out in

300
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: the second half, was six for six. He had some fastballs,

301
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: had some nice throws. But I want to see more

302
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: out of him. And I also want to apologize to

303
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor and uh Lishawn McCoy and this Bill's offense

304
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: that we expected to go out there and just not

305
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: look very good. And they look like professional. They look

306
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: very professional. Four hundred yards looked like the running game.

307
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: And then you remember, oh yeah, Tyrod Taylor and Leshan

308
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: McCoy are absolutely special runners at what they do, and

309
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: they can they can take it to any team. Yeah,

310
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I do think Newton seemed a little more

311
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: comfortable in the second half, especially in the fourth quarter.

312
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: I think he went six for six down the stretch

313
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: in that game, but he had some wild off target

314
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 1: throws early. There was a pass to Ed Dixon in

315
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: the end zone which was unforgivable, way over his head.

316
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, like I've forgiven him. It's I'm not

317
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: getting I will not get over it. I mean, I'm

318
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: fine with it at this point. Well, you guys are

319
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: different people. I take this game very seriously. No, here's

320
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: the thing that if the Bills did look good, they're

321
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: also playing the Jets. But the Jets defense isn't bad.

322
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: With Caroline is defense. I gotta say, I feel like

323
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: you got to calm down about the Bills a little bit.

324
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: You've been all pumped up since Sunday. Let's let's the

325
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: Jets are barely point is Cam Newton used to be

326
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: the best running quarterback. Now it's tyrde Lasan McCoy doesn't

327
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: break tackles, he breaks ankles. He's putting people on the ground.

328
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: I mean there was one run in that Jets game

329
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: he literally put three Jets on the ground just because

330
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: they're slipping and fallen trying to get this well, And

331
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: do you think the Panthers have gone out of their

332
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: way to an excessive amount to not have Kim Newton

333
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: be a running quarterback the same way that they had

334
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: to rely on them in the past. The Bills are

335
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: still letting Tyrod do what he needs and the Panthers

336
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: have to be excited. Their offensive line makeover is a

337
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: great one for one after one week, and their defense,

338
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,679
Speaker 1: which I love this year, could not have looked better.

339
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: So they they I think they like what they saw.

340
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: Greg Rosatal December one and the Buffalo Bills in the

341
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: a f C Wild Card picture. But your name on

342
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: it December one. But your name on it, kid, Yes,

343
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: because that's you could be five and six and you're

344
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 1: in the picture for sure. So that yeah, that was

345
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 1: a soft vacuum. So a bit kind of crappy, is

346
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 1: what you're saying, Like that's not very strong like the

347
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 1: rookie first round picture Davious White. Let's let's move on

348
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: more out of conference football, thank you, But isn't it

349
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: interconference intro? I believe would be you know, inside one conference.

350
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 1: But you know, we we do have people behind the

351
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: glass to potentially look that up like an interstate because

352
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 1: I mean I at this point, this is becoming embarrassing.

353
00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,439
Speaker 1: None of us know what the word means. All right, Well,

354
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: let's let's keep working on this. Maybe something Eric could

355
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: help us out with. Uh. The Arizona Cardinals crushing crushing

356
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: news this week that the David Johnson wrist injury is

357
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: serious enough where he's gonna go on I R and

358
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 1: they hope to get him back in December. But even

359
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: that is not a promise. So that's where the st

360
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: the Cardinals are. And oh, by the way, they blew

361
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,360
Speaker 1: a fourth quarter lead last week and their own one.

362
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 1: Here's the good news. There's plenty of football left and

363
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: your Week two matchup is in Indianapolis against the team

364
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: I think the Colts. If you have to make a

365
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: pick who looked the worst of any of the teams

366
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: in Week one, I think you have to say the

367
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,919
Speaker 1: Colts because the offense, didn't have a clue with Scott

368
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: Tolzie in the quarterback uh and and I don't know

369
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 1: that have they made the announcement yet who's starting in

370
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: week two? They're they're splitting first team reps in the

371
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: middle of September, which is a really I can't remember

372
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: that ever happening where a team hasn't decided. They're acting

373
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: like it's camping, splitting reps. If if you're Todd Bawls

374
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, If Jacoby st has a chance

375
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: to start and he hasn't been on the team at

376
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 1: all yet, doesn't he need all the snaps? Well, Rob

377
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: Chazinski did emphasize that he thought this would be a

378
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: mountain to climb for Prisette to to get in and

379
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:18,880
Speaker 1: learn this offense and slice of Jake. What I just realized,

380
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: we have a Jake Brisket drop and we have a

381
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 1: Scott Tolzine drop scout. Scout we've got we've got Tom

382
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: Savage too. So the AFC South leads the league in

383
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 1: cutterback drops. Um, yeah, so so we got everything covered

384
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 1: in the FC South just about. But alright, so here's

385
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,199
Speaker 1: the question. They look so bad are the cults of

386
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 1: that bad because if they're if they're merely had a

387
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: bad week and they're trying to get something strained out,

388
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 1: you expect a good effort at home here. But there's

389
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 1: also a chance I think even without David and the

390
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: Cardinals as bad as Carson Palmer looked, that they might

391
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 1: go in there and take care of business. I don't

392
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 1: like the way the team still is built for the

393
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 1: most part, and you're missing a premier quarterback. They are

394
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: that bad because they's one premier corner back to their

395
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: their best only defensive player. You're missing your your center,

396
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: You're right tackle just went on injured reserve. There's some

397
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: good players on the Colts offense, but it's just a handful.

398
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: That's not a team. Yeah, And I mean we're starting

399
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 1: to look at the Cardinals and wonder the same thing,

400
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: because it's it's just I think it's you say the

401
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: good news, there's a lot of football left. That's true.

402
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 1: I think I really am concerned about this season and

403
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: where they're gonna be. This is a team that said

404
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: they wanted to chase the Super Bowl. There there are

405
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: some curious Carson Palmer throws uh similar to Cam Newton

406
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 1: where the kind of the steam just went out of

407
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: it at the end. That was that was worrisome, but

408
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,679
Speaker 1: even a bigger where he was they had the second

409
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: worst ranked past protection of any team. Carson Palmer took

410
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 1: a lot of grief as he should have been that game,

411
00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: But there are a lot of players on that often

412
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: that struggled. I mean they David Johnson by the way struggled.

413
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,199
Speaker 1: The offensive line striped like they had more problems than

414
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: just Carson Palms. I'll tell you what, I'm ready to

415
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 1: stick a fawk in the loser of this game. Do

416
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 1: we still do that seg well? I mean not typically

417
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: in week two or week three, but it's possible to

418
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: one of the few segments I've successfully killed. I just

419
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: I do believe the loser of this game is going

420
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 1: to be in a world of hurt. Not only are

421
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 1: they gonna be banged up, but are gonna be an

422
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: O and two hole that's gonna be hard to get out.

423
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 1: I would I would lock this up for the Cardinals

424
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: if I didn't feel like it's too much of it

425
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't be a yeah, let's pass it. And now the Cults,

426
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 1: I think you shouldn't be able to have a bad lock.

427
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: You had a bad lock it up effort last week,

428
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 1: didn't you. That's Jue. We forgot that I have blanked

429
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 1: on the rams and then you took the Saints that fail.

430
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: It's a bad job, sad horn you got. I mean, listen,

431
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: we didn't call you out on it on the Tuesday show,

432
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,360
Speaker 1: but on some of them it's a bit. It's kind

433
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 1: of your responsibility to own it too. And well, I

434
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 1: was calling I was called out for flobbing my lock,

435
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,640
Speaker 1: and so I would only point to the producer and say,

436
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 1: why would you not also tag Gregg in that effort?

437
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: Let's move at all late? But there we go. Speaking

438
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:17,919
Speaker 1: of flubs, Mark, you tried to cook dinner, and you

439
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: try to cook a Tom Brady dinner. Connect the dots, everybody,

440
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 1: and nearly cut off your index finger. How are we

441
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: doing a little? People have been asking you on shore

442
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 1: on Twitter. I appreciate it's weird because it's in a smaller, little,

443
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,360
Speaker 1: tiny bandage, so it looks like, oh, it's fine, right,

444
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: But like I, whenever I take the bandage off, the

445
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: skin is not healing. So I don't think we're out

446
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: of the woods yet. And it's kind of gross to

447
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 1: discuss apologies. Well, how's the nerve situation, how's your heart rate?

448
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: Things are fine, and you know, globally things seem to

449
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: be fine. Moving on, the Tennessee Titans, coming off loss

450
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: to the Raiders in Week one, travel to Jacksonville to

451
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: face the Jaguars. A lot of good feelings for Jacksonville

452
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: after a very tough preseason. Let's face it, they beat

453
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: a fun Houston and Houston and now they get their

454
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 1: home open or a good spot, and they could, I'll say,

455
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: take control of the AFC south of the victory. Do

456
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 1: you believe it? It's a weird division, Greg, It wouldn't

457
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 1: be shocking because look, they hand Doug Marone handed, uh,

458
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 1: Tennessee their lunch. It basically got Doug Maron got this

459
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: job because he destroyed Mike Malarkey's tightened. The Jaguars are

460
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: kind of doing what the Titans did last year in

461
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: terms of just like all running. We're gonna just like

462
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: beat you up. And it worked for a week. Well,

463
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: and I love the Marone. A month plus ago basically

464
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: said here's what we're gonna do this season. We're gonna

465
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 1: run the ball about forty times a game. You don't

466
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 1: need to know any more than that we're coming right

467
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: at you and you can try to stop us. Ran

468
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: the ball thirty times thirty nine times last week, Leonard

469
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: for Net basically faced more eight man boxes than any

470
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: running back in the league still succeeded. So if you're

471
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:56,679
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, that alone is successful, and they the Titans

472
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: running game, I'm not gonna get concerned after one week.

473
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: But the offense of line really struggled in their third

474
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: preseason game against Chicago and struggled last week opening up wholes.

475
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 1: So now you're going against Jacksonville, it's not gonna be

476
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: an easy match. I everyone was excited about the way

477
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,199
Speaker 1: that game played out, but that was the perfect blueprint

478
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: for Jacksonville to win a football game where they make

479
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: get a defensive score and they're able to play from

480
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 1: ahead and start burning the clock, they still need a

481
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: quarterback to make plays. So before I get excited at

482
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: all about jackson maybe being a surprise team this season,

483
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: and I know their defense is very good, I'm gonna

484
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: have to see something from Blake Bortles, uh, and he's

485
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: gonna have to make some plays and I think a

486
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:35,959
Speaker 1: lot to make some plays in this game because I

487
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: think we're all in agreement that the Titans have the

488
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: potential to be a playoff team this year. They're coming

489
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,679
Speaker 1: off a tough loss. You think that this is a

490
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: very important game for them, and they're gonna come out

491
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 1: with a ton of focus. And I feel like there

492
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 1: are a lot of people are gonna favor the Titans,

493
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: So I expect them to score points and I expect

494
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: them to put in a good effort. So you're not

495
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 1: gonna get just give it to Leonard for Nett thirty

496
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: times and and win. This Game's not gonna work as

497
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,360
Speaker 1: a long term sustained plan. It's got to be their defense.

498
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 1: But I mean, we've been talking about Jacksonville's defense forever,

499
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: and with ten sacks and a touchdown last week on defense,

500
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: they joined the eighty five Raiders as the only two

501
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 1: teams to ever accomplish that. They're so deep. I mean,

502
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 1: like a j. Boullier on any other team would be

503
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: such a huge story. I mean, he had a great game.

504
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,959
Speaker 1: They the Jaguars fans, I think had almost given up

505
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: hope of Dante Fowler and and maybe even Miles Jack

506
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: who had really had a slow start to his career.

507
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: They wanted him to play middle linebacker. He couldn't cut

508
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: it there. They had really good games last week. So

509
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: if those two young guys step it up with the

510
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 1: with the players that everyone was expecting to be good

511
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,360
Speaker 1: like this gets next level stuff and they got a chance. Daniel, Hey,

512
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 1: you want to be called the Titoons anymore? Don't start

513
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: out until here. Well, you've got it. They have got

514
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 1: to take this game. I don't care where it's being played.

515
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 1: All right, good moving on. The Philadelphia Eagles want to know,

516
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 1: um and uh A thirty to seventeen a nice win.

517
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 1: The Redskins were kind of a mess last week. Let's

518
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: let's uh, let's face it, but the Eagles deserve credit

519
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: for taking advantage of a team just looking like it

520
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: wasn't ready to start the season. Now they have a

521
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: real tough assignments. They're going to the Chiefs and uh

522
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs. If the if the Colts looked the worst,

523
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,919
Speaker 1: you could put the Chiefs in the conversation for the

524
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: team that looked the best. And Week one you go

525
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: into Foxborough and they raised banner number forty seven and

526
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: you whip up on the Paths in the fourth quarter

527
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: and in crunch time, Uh, people are feeling good. However, Mark,

528
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: I feel bad about their situation in the sense that

529
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: now Eric Berry has gone. How big a loss do

530
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: you think that's gonna be for the Chiefs going forward?

531
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: It's big. You go from Eric Berry to Daniel Sorensen,

532
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 1: That's that's a massive drop off. Eric Berry also sort

533
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: of a heartbeat leader on the team too. But this

534
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 1: Chief's team is is not one of these teams where

535
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: if you take two or three players away, the whole

536
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: thing falls apart. I think they're a balanced club on

537
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: both sides. They're very well coached, and when you have

538
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 1: the bonus of getting like a Kareem Hunt come in

539
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,199
Speaker 1: in week one and star for you, you're just adding

540
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,679
Speaker 1: strength on rank there. They can run the ball and

541
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: Alex Smith is more aggressive than he's ever been in

542
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: his career right now. The matchup was huge, you know,

543
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: against New England as a factor, but I think the

544
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 1: offensive line should have gotten a lot of the credit

545
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: for Kareem Hunt's day and for Alex smith day. I

546
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 1: watched that gay I like Kareem Hunt. I don't. I

547
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: don't know if Kareem Hunt showed that he's this special,

548
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: transcendent back. I think he's going to be an NFL starter.

549
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: That was given big time holes. And the most impressive

550
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 1: thing I thought he did was him and Alex Smith

551
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 1: were on the same page mentally on that long receiving touchdown.

552
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: That's next level stuff for a rookie back Like that

553
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 1: shows that he's thinking like a veteran already. And if

554
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: they protect like that, then Alex Smith can throw. Do

555
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 1: you want to hear a crazy stat came from our

556
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: stat package? I don't want to hear one last week

557
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 1: against NFL media research notes. That's where this came from.

558
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,120
Speaker 1: He had those two seventy five plus yard touchdowns last week,

559
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 1: Alex Smith, he only had two of those in his

560
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: career before the opener. Aready knew that? What else you got?

561
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 1: What do you did? You author this packet? I thought

562
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: that was well of this. He's never had back to

563
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: back passing games that may happen this season, He's been

564
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 1: around along with them. You know what my favorite um

565
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: football thing, internet football thing I just discovered this week.

566
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: I'm probably late to com. I would love NFL dot Com.

567
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: I love the entire NFL media team and everything that

568
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 1: happens within it. I have to tell you that Brian Baldinger,

569
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: who works for NFL Network, if you follow on Twitter,

570
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,679
Speaker 1: he will post like little video clips of him watching

571
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: tape and then narrate it, which it's all it's kind

572
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: of fun, a little bit adorable to uh. He and he.

573
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: One of the ones he did was about the Chiefs offense,

574
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 1: and he would just showing how having two as he

575
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: called him, chess pieces, and Travis Kelsey and Tyreek Kill

576
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: having them and being able to work them off each

577
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: other with like rub routes and different things. They're both

578
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: such explosive talents. And then you put in Kareem Hunt

579
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: and Greg, you're maybe kind of slowing down the hype

580
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: train a little bit, which is fine, you could be

581
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: right about that, but certainly the guy looks like he's very,

582
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: very talented and maybe he could be a star. Uh.

583
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: There's a lot of weapons on this team, Like the

584
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: image of Greg's stopping a train, there's a lot. There's

585
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: a lot else starting to get noticed as a big

586
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: time blocking tight end, which he came into league not

587
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: knowing that. And so if you're putting that together, then

588
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: you really create matchup problems like a Rob Gronkowski and yeah,

589
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: I think they won that game because of the defense. Ultimately,

590
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: justin Houston in that game was the reason they was

591
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: the main reason they won that game with a couple

592
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 1: of fourth downd stops with the sacks late in the game.

593
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 1: He's so strong, like he is a defensive Player of

594
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: the Year type of guy. And Derrick Johnson, who is

595
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: like an all time like gotta have his jersey retired

596
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 1: with the Chiefs, came back from another devastating injury and

597
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 1: had a great game at I don't know what he

598
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: is now, thirty four, thirty five years old, Like he

599
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,719
Speaker 1: has a big addition to this team. We didn't talk

600
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: about the Eagles at all. We should. Let's talk a

601
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: little bit about the Eagles. Well, I loved what I

602
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 1: saw from Carson Wentz last week and I YouTube didn't

603
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 1: you said you trusted him more than Alex Smith on

604
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: our NFL network? What that What I meant by that

605
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 1: was not attached to their teams. But if I want

606
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: to have either one of these guys for a twelve

607
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: year career, I know what Alex Smith is and I

608
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: do appreciate that these this season especially seems to be

609
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: on onto a good thing, but career ceiling wise, I

610
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 1: would gamble on Carson Wentz and has a lot to

611
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: do with what I saw last week. There's growth, that's all.

612
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: But trust were an immediate thing to trust to me

613
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: was this week, this week's game. To me, that was

614
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,719
Speaker 1: a Wentz game that showed the ups and downs of him.

615
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:38,479
Speaker 1: But you know what, Mark's also Mark when you're on

616
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 1: television when he got opinions are outside the box, thank you.

617
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: That gets people talking, and that gets the upstairs suits

618
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:48,479
Speaker 1: talking and le figures doing cartwheels. I I don't expect

619
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: any of that to happen based on the hit we

620
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: just did on NFL Network, but it's a good theory.

621
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: Moving on to let's head over to the throw of

622
00:30:55,680 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: sleeves check in. It's been a while, I say, we

623
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: trust them, the ungodly wind at the end, the unthinkaful

624
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: has happened. Um oh and one as we know, the

625
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 1: Chiefs just talked about them. And now this is a

626
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: very interesting matchup, Greg for your your patriots and Erica,

627
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 1: your beloved pats, because they go to New Orleans who

628
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: had their own ugly loss in Week one, and it's

629
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 1: a situation where you want to say, and everyone's like,

630
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 1: the Patriots will be fine, don't worry about the Patriots

631
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: lost to the Chiefs and never lost again. Sure, maybe,

632
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: but this is a tough spot for them, Greg because

633
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: they're going on the road against the offense that probably

634
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: is ready to break out after a tough week one

635
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: and then and the and they're a work in progress

636
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 1: on defense to England right now. This isn't the team

637
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: you wanna face when you have no coverage linebackers, which

638
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 1: is what the Patriots have right now. Kyle van Noi

639
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: is their middle linebacker. They essentially played one or two

640
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 1: linebackers throughout that game. Six defensive back and you don't

641
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: really see guys that can cover out of that group.

642
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: And New Orleans is amazing at setting up matchup problems

643
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: on those short passes. With that said, they've had four

644
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: extra days. The Saints schedule maker did did not give

645
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 1: him any favors this week that they had a Monday

646
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: night game on the road. The Patriots have been sitting

647
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: home in extra four days. The Patriots have been preparing

648
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 1: for this. They're very good coming off a loss, and

649
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 1: that the Patriots offense, even without Danni a Mendola, who

650
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: hasn't been practicing has a concussion. Even without Malcolm Mitchell

651
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: and Edelman, they still have a lot of players on

652
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: that offense to give the scenes a lot of problems.

653
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: I think it's two teams where you have to say,

654
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 1: you know, there are a lot of new faces in

655
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: in Patriots Land on offense number one, but at the

656
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: same time, everyone's dumping on the mains defense acting like, oh,

657
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: anything we saw in the preseason was a mirage that

658
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: they're just the same defenses before. I don't I don't

659
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 1: agree with that. I mean, they have a completely revamped,

660
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,479
Speaker 1: improved linebacking group, but it's all new faces. You had

661
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: a lot of new faces in the secondary and it's

662
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 1: gonna take a little bit of time for that to jail.

663
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna be the same defense as

664
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:19,959
Speaker 1: as as as we've seen in the past. And if

665
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 1: you look at what happened with Tom Brady last week,

666
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: the deep ball was a huge issue for him. I

667
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: mean he was because they made him throw it. They

668
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: they did the Falcons plan of getting up in the

669
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: face of those receivers and make them win one on

670
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: one and eventually in the Super Bowl it worked, but

671
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: that's only because they got ninety plays. They didn't get

672
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: ninety plays last week. And I think every team's gonna

673
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: do that. They're gonna make Chris Hogan beat you one

674
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 1: on one, Philip Dorset. I mean, you would expect to

675
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: see a lot of gronk in this game. Gronk who

676
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: got shut down by Eric Barry, and you you know

677
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna want to make him a part of the

678
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: game plan early, I would think. And he noticed old

679
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 1: Daddy no crowing about hashtag gradual decline with Tom Brady.

680
00:33:58,040 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: But he did have a very poor game at the

681
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: worst completion percentage of any quarterback in the league in

682
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: Week one, uh in actuality, So are we just the

683
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 1: same thing? He played that poorly well that compared to

684
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 1: last year, Yes, but it wasn't that bad when you

685
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 1: went and rewatched that at But that completion percentage was

686
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 1: just for you. So they were making him a throw deep.

687
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 1: I think it was two for eleven on deep shots.

688
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 1: There's a lot to work. The worry about because people

689
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 1: use the word system quarterback like it's some pejorative but

690
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 1: Tom Brady's the ultimate system quarterback. He's been in the

691
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,359
Speaker 1: same system for eighteen years. Brandon Cooks and him had

692
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: bad timing on three different of the shorter routes. He

693
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: caught the long one. He has to get timing. With

694
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: Philip Dorsett the may the best things they do are

695
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 1: changed tempo and go five wide and then slow down

696
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: the tuple. You can't do that when you have new

697
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,720
Speaker 1: players who don't really know all of the play calls

698
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 1: just out off the push of a button. Stuff. And

699
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 1: one other note on the other side, with the quarterback,

700
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 1: Drew Brees has had a lot of success in his

701
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 1: career against the Patriots. Not a ton of game done

702
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 1: in four games. The Saints are three and one and

703
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: he's got ten touchdowns, one interception of passer rating of

704
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: a twenty three. So Breeze uh. Certainly Belichick and the

705
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 1: defense haven't had Breeze's number. If Breeze is lightening up,

706
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 1: that's gonna put a lot of pressure. Good everybody in

707
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 1: the pool. Fantasy well, and they had a lot of scoring.

708
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: These two teams had one of the best games around

709
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. Last time they played. It

710
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 1: was a fantastic game. I want to see because here's

711
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: the thing everyone talks about. The running back situation with

712
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: Mark Ingram, Adrian Peterson, and Kamar. It's like none of

713
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,239
Speaker 1: them crossed twenty yards last week. And I wonder when

714
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 1: it comes down to Ingram and and a guy like

715
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson, do you have to get him into a flow?

716
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:38,800
Speaker 1: Are there is there one too many running back? Is

717
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 1: there one too many? You know running backs on this team?

718
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 1: At this point, I'm just saying, like how it's hard

719
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 1: to sleep kind of got done this shuffle. That it's

720
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:50,919
Speaker 1: not like Kamara or ingraman any better in that game

721
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 1: than Kamara by far was used more than the other two. Um,

722
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,879
Speaker 1: this game is going to be overwhelming. Let's we should

723
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 1: just pick it since it's in. Yeah, let's pick. Patriots

724
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: have won the Super Bowl every single time they've started

725
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 1: owing one, and I don't see them going into here.

726
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: I do think it's going to be a game that

727
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 1: people come out and say some good things about the Saints.

728
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 1: So afterwards, it's gone on guests, lazy owen to Patriots Center.

729
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 1: In week three, let's fly moving on. That's how you

730
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,799
Speaker 1: get TV. Well, it's you want an edgy, an edgy

731
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 1: pick that might have been it right there again, That's

732
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: that's probably wish you wish casting, but there's some logic

733
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 1: there too. Moving on, the Minnesota Vikings. Want to know,

734
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: everyone excited because they played a really strong game on

735
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: Monday night in taking care of business against those Saints.

736
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 1: Now they travel to Pittsburgh to face the Steelers. You know,

737
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 1: I know there's talk all the Browns are improving, and

738
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 1: they certainly seem to be, but not an underwhelming performance

739
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 1: on balance, I think by Pittsburgh, especially the offense, I

740
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: should say, uh, will they have any better luck this

741
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: time at home against the Vike He's another good defense. Well,

742
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 1: you know, so when Big Ben says, you know, we

743
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: were lucky to play the Browns in week one, which

744
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: I still find slightly condescending, I will say this, I

745
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: think the Browns got lucky to face Pittsburgh when they

746
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 1: did too, because Levi on Bell, no matter what kind

747
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,399
Speaker 1: of shape you show up in, was not himself last week.

748
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 1: Martavis Bryant, who we know is ultra explosive, was not

749
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 1: really even part. I think that those two guys combined

750
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 1: for about sixty something yards and at yeah, I mean,

751
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 1: he just wasn't in the mix. I think all of

752
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 1: that can improve with another full week of practice and

753
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's at home. They are not the same team on

754
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 1: the root. I'm a little worried about Martavis Bryant because

755
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 1: of the preseason and into the regular seas I watched

756
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: him pretty closely. He just has he usually has that

757
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: special pop off the screen and maybe he'll get into it.

758
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 1: But everyone just kind of and I and I am

759
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 1: including myself in this just said, okay, we're plugging in

760
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 1: old two thousand fifteen Martavis Bryant. But he hadn't he

761
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 1: didn't play football for a year and he's not that

762
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 1: guy yet. Levian Bell, I'm not worried about it all.

763
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 1: Actually think he looked pretty good on a on a

764
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,280
Speaker 1: few runs last week. But if you don't have Martevis Bryant,

765
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 1: you have Jujuice Schuster Smith who struggled last week. Like

766
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 1: they're not that they need someone else other than Antonio

767
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 1: Brown to step up as an option. I think, well,

768
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 1: Jesse James made some plays in the red zone, and

769
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 1: uh Brown is as good as ever. I let's give

770
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 1: Martevios a couple of weeks before it's like a concern.

771
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,439
Speaker 1: It makes sense that he would be rusty right now. Well,

772
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 1: I have a Sandwich prop that Martevis and Antonio Brown

773
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: are going to be the one to best one to tandem.

774
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 1: I'm starting to get nervous about that because, well Brown

775
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 1: is gonna have to do sevent of it. It sounds

776
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 1: although you had he he had a d eighty four yards,

777
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 1: so you're not. After that, I'll tell you about a tandem.

778
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:43,320
Speaker 1: Go on a tandem. Stefan Digs, Adam Feeling sixteen catches,

779
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty yards and two touchdowns. Right now,

780
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 1: I thought you were gonna go set the valve and

781
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 1: David and Joe. That goes without I'll take my chances

782
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 1: with the Digs. Theel tandem. Well, you know, I think

783
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 1: Adam Feeling is is someone that just started to blow

784
00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 1: up last year at two yard game down the stretch,

785
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:01,240
Speaker 1: and a lot of people didn't want to really believe

786
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 1: in Adam Feeling. He the guy is legit. That threat

787
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 1: is Cooper and Crabtreet And I realized that why I

788
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 1: was watching that game was like, I don't know, I

789
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 1: forgot those guys that was the one to team last

790
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 1: year and they could repeat that was that was the

791
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 1: best game that we can remember Sam Bradford ever having

792
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: and it was partly because their offensive line over how

793
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:20,839
Speaker 1: Like Carolina got off to a good start. Now they

794
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,760
Speaker 1: were playing New Orleans, this will be a much better

795
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,760
Speaker 1: test against a Steelers team that looks a lot different

796
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 1: on defense. Kind of slipped under the radar. James Harrison

797
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 1: didn't play in that game at all. I mean they

798
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: basically benched them. It's Hikillo and t J. Watt and

799
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: t J Watt just looks like there aren't many guys

800
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 1: that could make an interception like he made last week

801
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 1: and rushed the pastor like he rushes. T J. Watt

802
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 1: had a one sack of Kaiser. I know he had too,

803
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 1: but on one particular one where he was flushed all

804
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 1: the way to the left, Kaiser's dancing around evading people near,

805
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 1: you know, towards the edge and what comes back and

806
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,400
Speaker 1: you're going to see many players. That was one of

807
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: the video clips that Baldul at the right tackle, he

808
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 1: beats the running back, Kaiser flushes out of the pocket.

809
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 1: He comes around from the backside and gets Kaiser. So

810
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,799
Speaker 1: we might be looking at another wat super This is

811
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:13,840
Speaker 1: one of those games. I feel like on a Sunday

812
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 1: morning show you would say something like this is a

813
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 1: good football game. I mean, I'm just saying, this is

814
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 1: a good football game between two good football teams early

815
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 1: in the National Football League SEA. Yeah, these guys, this

816
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 1: is just gonna be two teams are gonna buckle up

817
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 1: their chin straps and it's gonna be National Football League football.

818
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: But it's fun. Zero media subtweeting going on there. But

819
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 1: put put your hard hats on and go to work.

820
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 1: Call your wife, tell her that you'll be home or

821
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 1: maybe not because news game is gonna be physical, so

822
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:48,400
Speaker 1: that for the viewer, the viewer may not make it.

823
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 1: I wouldn't wait too long to fill out those life

824
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 1: insurance papers. Let's go to the field. Let's move on.

825
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: The Chicago Bears are traveling to Tampa to face the

826
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 1: Pucking Years and the Buccaneers again, another team that we

827
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 1: kind of forgot about because they didn't play. They had

828
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 1: the rare week one by uh the last time we

829
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 1: saw them. They were having a really nice season on

830
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 1: hard knocks. But but at the all time best seasons,

831
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 1: I would put it right there at near the top quickest.

832
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: I will disagree with you, but that's fine. I believe

833
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 1: that it is right behind the Jets, season at two

834
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 1: thousand ten in the last seven or eight years, so

835
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 1: I think it's in rarefied air. You sneak you don't

836
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: like the show, No, no, no, I find it a

837
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:39,800
Speaker 1: tad formulaic, and I would say that latter seasons there's

838
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 1: been too much uh where five minutes passes and it's

839
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 1: just montages and I want to learn about coaches. I

840
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: want to learn about how teams operate. And you go

841
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 1: around a sixth minute show that day you're getting I

842
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:56,360
Speaker 1: hear one of the best ones I thought was Cincinnati

843
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:59,240
Speaker 1: Bengals because you had you had three future head coaches

844
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,240
Speaker 1: on that team and learned a lot about the coaches.

845
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 1: And that that's where I get interested in Hard Knocks rankings.

846
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:06,839
Speaker 1: I think you go Jets one. I still go Ravens too,

847
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 1: maybe Ravens even because because it broke the mold and

848
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:12,840
Speaker 1: it was great. Yeah, and it really was maybe the

849
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:16,839
Speaker 1: best sea Ryan Billickett an outrageous, audacious performance and then

850
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 1: Bucks number three. They get up to the number three.

851
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 1: I love the early ones, So I'm not it's not

852
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 1: it's not not anti Herd knocks the bad. Yeah, we

853
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 1: actually talking about let's do it. The Chicago Bears. Give

854
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 1: it a shot. Mark, it's a good show. I have

855
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 1: given it a shot for over a decade. I you know,

856
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 1: I have watched probably the Bears oh and one seventeen

857
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:40,319
Speaker 1: losers to the Falcons in Week one. Should have won

858
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:44,279
Speaker 1: the game, Jordan Howard, make you play, Hey, Jordan's make

859
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 1: a play in a big spot. You didn't and your

860
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 1: team lost. It's all your fault. And then you have

861
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 1: the Bucks. So I feel like the Bucks are gonna

862
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 1: be obviously well rested, maybe a little rusty. Even do

863
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 1: you think, oh, it's that all is fault, you know,

864
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 1: I think it's tough of a Week one by that's

865
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 1: a you feel like, you know, talk about fear of

866
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 1: missing out. You're not really involved. We have no idea

867
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 1: what it is because well, like never happened. No, it

868
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:10,839
Speaker 1: happened back in in back when the Browns came into

869
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 1: the league and there were thirty one teams. There have

870
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 1: been a couple. There's been five teams, five or six

871
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 1: that have had and it's been on only one of

872
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 1: those teams just made the playoffs. So I don't I

873
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 1: don't think that route channels back too much. But if

874
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 1: you're the Bucks, I think that you've been waiting for this,

875
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:25,919
Speaker 1: and they are going to be amped up there at home.

876
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 1: This is going to be baby basically the launch of

877
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 1: Jamis Wiston Winston, who was a complete star and hard knocks.

878
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 1: I'll give them that. I think the Sean Jackson is

879
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 1: a huge part of this offense. Didn't have a play

880
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:39,799
Speaker 1: above fifty yards all less season. It's gonna be a

881
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 1: mismatch in the secondary. That's where Chicago is weak, That's

882
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 1: where Tampa is strong. I think Chicago is going to

883
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 1: be a very difficult team to run against. They got

884
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 1: some big bodies and they made the Falcons running game

885
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:55,319
Speaker 1: look in apt last week. And you got to Quiz

886
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 1: Rodgers starting at running back for the Bucks. So you're

887
00:43:57,520 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 1: not gonna have much of running games. I think you're

888
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:01,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna see a lot a four wide, five wide,

889
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:03,760
Speaker 1: chuck it down the field. That that's that's the recipe.

890
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter at all that this team knows Mike Glennan

891
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 1: very well. It could. I mean, I don't think it

892
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,839
Speaker 1: hurts you watch this guy in practice for years. Um,

893
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 1: I want to see how the Bears. You just treat

894
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:21,360
Speaker 1: co and after a really great start in Week thirteen,

895
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 1: thirt touches, a hundred and thirteen UH scrimmage yards the touchdown.

896
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 1: This feels like it's going to head towards at least

897
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 1: between Cohen and Jordan Howard. Uh, maybe a split already

898
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 1: was Yeah. I had a friend text me and be like,

899
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:39,720
Speaker 1: I took Jordan Howard really high in this fantasy draft.

900
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: Should I be concerned? Yes? Well, they they have a

901
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 1: really strange offense because he's their most explosive player and

902
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,799
Speaker 1: he's like he's a backup running back. They have an

903
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,840
Speaker 1: okay tight end group. You basically have no wide receivers,

904
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 1: especially now with Kevin White out for the season, and

905
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:58,279
Speaker 1: it's almost like John Fox's dream. It's like, I don't

906
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:00,840
Speaker 1: need to He almost won that game without needing the

907
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 1: wide receivers at all. He's got his old double trouble

908
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:06,799
Speaker 1: D'Angelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart again with Terrico and Jordan Howard.

909
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:08,319
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a good problem to have, having two

910
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 1: great backs like that. Let's move on the Miami Dolphins.

911
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 1: There you go, that's the other team that didn't play

912
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 1: in Week one. Travel to Los Angeles and the stub

913
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 1: Hub Center, and uh, you know the Dolphins are going

914
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 1: to be the only team at the stub Hub Center

915
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:25,759
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Mark Sessler also there, Why are you going

916
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:28,399
Speaker 1: to be at the stub Center stub Hub Mark, Well,

917
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 1: I think we're The point is to kind of experience

918
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 1: the game, not just as someone sitting up in the

919
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 1: press box. But this is a cool thing for the

920
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 1: NFL to have a thirty thousand seat stadium, and they've

921
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 1: done a lot of refurbishing of it to make it

922
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:46,879
Speaker 1: from a soccer venue to one that's ripe for the NFL. Well,

923
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 1: I mean think about number of things, like you're gonna be,

924
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:51,720
Speaker 1: You're gonna be I'm gonna be there, walking around, walking around, observing,

925
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 1: gonna go pregame, talk games. I'll watch as much as

926
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 1: I can, but I'm gonna watch it from different areas.

927
00:45:58,120 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 1: But in terms of the locker room, good question, because

928
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:03,799
Speaker 1: soccer locker room is so much smaller typically. I want

929
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 1: to go in there and see what it looks like

930
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: and how they did it. But I talked to some

931
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:09,399
Speaker 1: people inside the Chargers building and they did a lot

932
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 1: of work to make this a great fan experience, So

933
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 1: I think it will be that's exciting. So they opened

934
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:16,239
Speaker 1: up against it. You know what I forgot when I

935
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 1: saw this right before the show is going through the

936
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:21,359
Speaker 1: different games. I kind of forgotten because of the bye

937
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:24,839
Speaker 1: and everything, because of the hurricane. Uh. J Cutler's back

938
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:27,120
Speaker 1: in the league. It wasn't just something like fun offseason

939
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 1: storyline and then it floated away when real football started.

940
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 1: He's now playing in a NFL game that counts on

941
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 1: the road. J Cutler on the road in recent years

942
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 1: has usually meant bad things, Greg, But do you think

943
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:41,360
Speaker 1: perhaps he can hang in this uh? In this game.

944
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna have a good season. I think

945
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:45,440
Speaker 1: this is a massive test for his offensive line with

946
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:48,839
Speaker 1: Melvin Ingram, who gets better each and every year and

947
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 1: was the best player on the field on Monday Night,

948
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,279
Speaker 1: and Joey Bosa who had a great game. And so

949
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 1: you're asking Laramie Tunsel and his first start at left tackle,

950
00:46:56,680 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 1: they're a little shaky maybe on the right side. That's

951
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 1: that's not an easy ask right off the top on

952
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:04,319
Speaker 1: the road, and you would think they would try to

953
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:06,759
Speaker 1: establish J J. I e as much as possible. I

954
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 1: want to see what the Chargers do on offense, how

955
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:12,799
Speaker 1: they approached this game. I I understand that the new

956
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:15,279
Speaker 1: coaching staff wants to run the ball a ton and

957
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 1: be balanced. But honestly, I want to see the Philip

958
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 1: Rivers from the fourth quarter against Denver and just unleash it.

959
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:23,960
Speaker 1: Used Travis Benjamin down the field. You have weapons at

960
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,879
Speaker 1: tight end, all sorts of wide receivers. Melvin Gordon made

961
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:29,120
Speaker 1: an incredible catch for a touchdown last week. They couldn't

962
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:30,920
Speaker 1: run and now you have to try to run against

963
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:34,799
Speaker 1: in Dominican sue and that Miami defensive line which had

964
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,319
Speaker 1: There's a lot of talent on this Miami defense, not

965
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 1: at linebacker. There was, but there wasn't a lot. There

966
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:42,440
Speaker 1: wasn't a lot of results. Yeah last year. Moving on

967
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:45,279
Speaker 1: to what looks like the biggest mismatch of Week two,

968
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:48,359
Speaker 1: the New York Jets. Uh head to the Black Hole

969
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:50,800
Speaker 1: to face the Raiders and their home opener. The Raiders

970
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:54,960
Speaker 1: had a really nice Week one performance in Nashville taking

971
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:58,840
Speaker 1: out the Titans. The Jets beat by the Bills, and now,

972
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:02,840
Speaker 1: uh this is let's let's go down the list. Derek

973
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 1: Derek Carr at home after coming off performance when he

974
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 1: looked very much like he will be an MVP candidate.

975
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:13,240
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch in his first game back in Oakland, coming

976
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:15,200
Speaker 1: off a week one performance where he showed that he

977
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 1: was still Marshawn Lynch. And then the other team has

978
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:23,399
Speaker 1: has the Jets. It seems like all everything is there

979
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 1: for a not just a win, but one of those

980
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 1: games where at halftime you can kind of turn it

981
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:35,920
Speaker 1: off and know this game has taken care of. This

982
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 1: feels unnecessary. Well, Erica Tampos, he enjoys. I believe this

983
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:47,719
Speaker 1: is the stadium that Mark Sanchez famously ate his hot

984
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:50,799
Speaker 1: dog on the side. So you know, it might be

985
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:53,959
Speaker 1: one of those kind of days. McCown, Alright, you're about

986
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 1: to call a revenge game, like, wait, something that happened

987
00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:01,839
Speaker 1: eight years might it might not be that close. Jets

988
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:03,440
Speaker 1: who are a little I was a little disappointed by

989
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 1: their defense last week. I thought they would be uh

990
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:10,520
Speaker 1: respectable defense, and they really didn't put up a lot

991
00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:12,960
Speaker 1: of resistance to Buffalo. I know the scoreboard didn't look

992
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:14,879
Speaker 1: too bad, but I I thought the Jets be their

993
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:17,840
Speaker 1: run defense, which has been There's been a lot of

994
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 1: things wrong with the Jets on defense the last couple

995
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 1: of years, but primarily it was the passing game. Uh,

996
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:25,800
Speaker 1: the defense has always been good, No, Sheldon Richardson obviously

997
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 1: now and maybe the cracks are starting to show because

998
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:29,880
Speaker 1: you got rid of Snacks Harris in the year before

999
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:33,080
Speaker 1: or let him walk in free agency. A lot of mistackles.

1000
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:35,280
Speaker 1: You need to see more from them. On the positive

1001
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:37,640
Speaker 1: side with the Jets that I thought, I think we

1002
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 1: talked a little bit about this on on Sunday. Jamal

1003
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:43,319
Speaker 1: Adams was really all over the field in Week one

1004
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 1: and he looks like he's the real deal. People are

1005
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:48,719
Speaker 1: talking about Marcus may Um. In fact, Todd Bowls, who

1006
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:52,759
Speaker 1: doesn't really hand out praise, easily spotlighted both of the

1007
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 1: rookies and said that there they both had strong weak ones.

1008
00:49:57,120 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 1: So there are things on defense with that Jets to

1009
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:01,920
Speaker 1: be excited about. But you still have a lot of holes.

1010
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:05,360
Speaker 1: The linebacker position is unsettled, the cornerbacks or it's not

1011
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 1: a great secondary when he factor in the cornerbacks. And

1012
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 1: they still and this has been a year's long thing,

1013
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:14,040
Speaker 1: decades long now since John Abraham left town. They can't

1014
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:16,600
Speaker 1: get to the quarterback. So all this is playing right

1015
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:18,760
Speaker 1: into the Raiders hands. Yeah, I mean, if you're the Jets,

1016
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 1: you have to probably go through a season like Cleveland

1017
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 1: did last year, where it's going to be very tough

1018
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:25,200
Speaker 1: on the fan base, but it's promising that when you're

1019
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:28,160
Speaker 1: rebuilding with young players that you've already seen them deliver

1020
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:30,400
Speaker 1: and the safeties do. This is the team that doesn't

1021
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:32,880
Speaker 1: have a lot of young players. They don't know a

1022
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 1: lot of trash starting. They're starting, but you're still starting

1023
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:38,840
Speaker 1: Josh McCown in Matt fourty, which is awkward for a

1024
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:42,000
Speaker 1: rebuilding team. And you said it on our NFL network,

1025
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:44,880
Speaker 1: hit or pick him. I can't even keep I had

1026
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 1: written the same thing down that Amari Cooper, as great

1027
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:48,759
Speaker 1: as he's been the last few years, looks like a

1028
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:50,879
Speaker 1: different guy, Like he is ready to make a leap

1029
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 1: to another level where you're talking about him as one

1030
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:55,799
Speaker 1: of the best, but he looks he I mean he

1031
00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:57,879
Speaker 1: added weight, but it was the right kind of weight.

1032
00:50:57,920 --> 00:50:59,799
Speaker 1: I mean, we all add weight, but he like had

1033
00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:02,360
Speaker 1: in muscle and he looks thick and crabtree to me,

1034
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:05,279
Speaker 1: also looks like a revived player. Think about a guy

1035
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 1: that couldn't even run at full speed a couple of

1036
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:09,640
Speaker 1: years ago after the surgeries he had the two of them.

1037
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:11,799
Speaker 1: I don't know how new York keeps up with that

1038
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:14,960
Speaker 1: because Oakland sometimes feels like they have four or five

1039
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:17,719
Speaker 1: plays in their playbook. It's throw the ball to Cooper throw.

1040
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 1: It's a crab Tree run Marshall Lynch up the middle

1041
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:22,640
Speaker 1: and it works. Um and his darkest things seemed for

1042
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 1: the Jets. I'll end it with one little positive note.

1043
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:27,360
Speaker 1: The Raiders are one of the best teams in football

1044
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:30,799
Speaker 1: now and not so long ago. Reggie mackenzie was in

1045
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:34,719
Speaker 1: year three of a rebuild with a rookie Derek Carr quarterback,

1046
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 1: and they started oh and ten and they were stripping

1047
00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:39,520
Speaker 1: all these old guys off the roster and getting out

1048
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:42,279
Speaker 1: of Cape Hell. A lot of people wanted Mackenzie to

1049
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:44,719
Speaker 1: lose his job. You have to to see the plan through,

1050
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:46,799
Speaker 1: and the Raiders dide a nice job with this. You

1051
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 1: have to if you believe in your guys, you have

1052
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:51,799
Speaker 1: to let the structures stay in place to actually do

1053
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:53,719
Speaker 1: a rebuild. We'll see if the Jets now and the

1054
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:57,440
Speaker 1: year three of their GM regime will have the same testicular.

1055
00:51:57,480 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 1: Think of how many people passed on Derek Carr. How

1056
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:02,480
Speaker 1: many of those teams to pass on Derek car would

1057
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 1: want Tom right now? Every one of them almost outside

1058
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:06,000
Speaker 1: of New England, and you think the Jaguars would have

1059
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:11,360
Speaker 1: would have liked maybe Blake moving on the Dallas Cowboys.

1060
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:13,799
Speaker 1: Kind of an easy ho home Week one win for

1061
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:16,800
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, and let's face it, they caught some breaks. First,

1062
00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:20,319
Speaker 1: the Zeke Elliott suspension went into limbo, which allowed him

1063
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 1: to be on the field to start the season. Then

1064
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:25,640
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham gets scratched from week one and the Giants

1065
00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:29,400
Speaker 1: clearly were not prepared uh to handle the loss of

1066
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:31,520
Speaker 1: Beckham in that type of game. So the Cowboys want

1067
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 1: to know and now they go to Denver. This is

1068
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:35,040
Speaker 1: one of the best games of the week, I think

1069
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:38,919
Speaker 1: because despite the fourth quarter failures of Denver to put

1070
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:41,320
Speaker 1: that game away and then they needed to get I

1071
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:43,120
Speaker 1: wouldn't call it lucky, but they made a big play

1072
00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:45,359
Speaker 1: at the end to block the kick to to get

1073
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:48,480
Speaker 1: the win against the Chargers. The Broncos look feisty to me,

1074
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:51,239
Speaker 1: and Trevor Simeon looks feisty to me. So Dallas is

1075
00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 1: not gonna go in there and handle business like they

1076
00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:54,840
Speaker 1: did with the Giants. Yeah, I don't know what to

1077
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:59,919
Speaker 1: think about that. Cowboys defensive performance was really impressive. By.

1078
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:02,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if the Giants are just one of

1079
00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:04,000
Speaker 1: the worst offenses in the league. I mean still to

1080
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 1: hold any team to three points and get after it.

1081
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:10,080
Speaker 1: Charles Tapper is a young pass rusher that they're hoping

1082
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:13,000
Speaker 1: can step up along with the Marcus Lawrence. But to

1083
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:15,480
Speaker 1: go to Denvers is a whole another ask because this

1084
00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:19,080
Speaker 1: looked a little bit more like the Broncos teams from

1085
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:21,080
Speaker 1: a few years back, where you can get some push

1086
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 1: in the running game, and C. J. Anderson and Jamal

1087
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:25,839
Speaker 1: Charles as a combination, I think is really gonna help

1088
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:28,560
Speaker 1: take the pressure off my boy Trevor Simeon and make

1089
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:30,160
Speaker 1: life a little easier for him. No, that's what they

1090
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:32,200
Speaker 1: couldn't do last year when they lost c. J. Anderson

1091
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 1: was consistently run the ball behind the offensive line that

1092
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:37,000
Speaker 1: was one of the worst in the league. I I

1093
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:40,240
Speaker 1: really think that their first round pick is it Garrett Bowls,

1094
00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:44,080
Speaker 1: the left tackle, really good game last week, made an

1095
00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:47,439
Speaker 1: incredible block down field that sprung for a big play.

1096
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 1: I mean, he that's that's a guy. They needed that

1097
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:51,520
Speaker 1: pick to hit big time, and it has. I think

1098
00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:54,799
Speaker 1: I want to see the Cowboys lost Orlando Scandrick and

1099
00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:58,000
Speaker 1: that already was a thin cornerback group. That's why I was.

1100
00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:00,200
Speaker 1: He had a plate put in his hand in and

1101
00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:02,200
Speaker 1: he still thinks he's gonna play. He has a chance.

1102
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:04,120
Speaker 1: Okay I didn't, but but that's I mean, if someone

1103
00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:07,080
Speaker 1: put it, I don't know that I wouldn't show up

1104
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:11,759
Speaker 1: to work for weeks. But well, you type a lot,

1105
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:13,480
Speaker 1: so that would be that might even be tougher for you.

1106
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:16,480
Speaker 1: We we gave the Broncos, by the way, a lot

1107
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:18,720
Speaker 1: of grief for you know, they got rid of Wade Phillips,

1108
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:22,360
Speaker 1: changed to Joe Wood. Their run defense was so much better.

1109
00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:26,960
Speaker 1: Really handled Los Angeles last week. So is that legit

1110
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:30,879
Speaker 1: because they're about to face really the best offensive line

1111
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:34,240
Speaker 1: and running game in the league. If their run defense

1112
00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:36,960
Speaker 1: is legit, you have Shack Barrett and Von Miller coming

1113
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:39,360
Speaker 1: after you, then they're back to being a major factor.

1114
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:41,799
Speaker 1: This was the game that gave us Tony Romo versus

1115
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:46,200
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning and that incredible game from four seasons ago.

1116
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:49,319
Speaker 1: I think that Dak Prescott versus Trevor Simeon, I think

1117
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:51,640
Speaker 1: that's a great quarter. Trevor Simeon is going to be

1118
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:53,920
Speaker 1: if you continue to this case, one of the stories

1119
00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:56,680
Speaker 1: of the season. It's not peak Romo Manning, but no,

1120
00:54:56,880 --> 00:54:58,640
Speaker 1: it's really good. It's I agree with one of the

1121
00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:01,759
Speaker 1: games of the week. Um. And one note about Dak Prescott.

1122
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 1: I found it a little bit odd that he's not

1123
00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:09,080
Speaker 1: getting more love even entering this season, coming off the

1124
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:11,879
Speaker 1: year he had. He's playing for America's team and all that.

1125
00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:14,240
Speaker 1: It's like it's always been overshadow by his Zaki Elliant

1126
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:15,920
Speaker 1: and I think and maybe there's a bit of a

1127
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:18,480
Speaker 1: narrative and play like, listen to you. This surprised when

1128
00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:21,200
Speaker 1: he won Rookie of the Year when he had literally

1129
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 1: had the greatest quarterback rookie. And I think it almost

1130
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 1: works against him. He's like, oh, with that offensive line

1131
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:28,080
Speaker 1: and that running game, you know any guy I could

1132
00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:30,120
Speaker 1: do it. But no, I don't. I don't agree with that.

1133
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:32,680
Speaker 1: And if he goes into Denver against you know what,

1134
00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:36,680
Speaker 1: they call it mark the new play zoone. You know

1135
00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:39,440
Speaker 1: you're not big on these uh position group nicknames. I

1136
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:41,800
Speaker 1: just don't think no fly zone is that's good a

1137
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:46,440
Speaker 1: name like couldn't we do? Although I will remember, I

1138
00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:50,040
Speaker 1: have a terrible memory, and I will remember this trio

1139
00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:53,399
Speaker 1: Chris Harris that keeps to leave in Bradley Roby as

1140
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:55,680
Speaker 1: the no fly zone like in ten years and it

1141
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:57,520
Speaker 1: asked me who the no fly zone is. I'll actually

1142
00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:02,240
Speaker 1: typically like like war torn nations not wanting like invading

1143
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:05,239
Speaker 1: armies to fly over space. But you never throw when

1144
00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 1: you're in a rocky mountain avalanche. That's better. Rocky Mountain

1145
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:12,759
Speaker 1: avalanche is better. It doesn't really suggest defensive backs and

1146
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:16,799
Speaker 1: secondaries and this mountain don't hit out at the Broncos

1147
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:19,879
Speaker 1: just because the Jets tried to steal this oh hick

1148
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:26,360
Speaker 1: name on that. That was a summer storyline. That was

1149
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:29,640
Speaker 1: a big time summer storyline. All right, let's move. What

1150
00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:31,000
Speaker 1: do you got in that game? By the way, I'm

1151
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:35,160
Speaker 1: just curious, h I haven't the pick m the score? Well,

1152
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:38,719
Speaker 1: I haven't officially made my picks for our NFL Pick

1153
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:41,880
Speaker 1: Them show. I believe you can join our group on

Speaker 1: you're getting Greg Greg is strowed out there. It's coming

1157
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:55,279
Speaker 1: up trying to morning in the morning to PM and

Speaker 1: eleven PM. And then there's a Sunday showing that leads

1159
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:02,239
Speaker 1: into game day morning. Uh, Connie Foxes show that I

1160
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:04,040
Speaker 1: would do it pick him is, I would DVR it

1161
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:06,799
Speaker 1: and and on every television in your house and then

1162
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 1: also through an through any of possible audio channel, play

1163
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:11,920
Speaker 1: it on repeat for the next four weeks straight. Just

1164
00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 1: this week's show, see what happens to your family. I'm

1165
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 1: gonna take brings families together, Sure it does. I'm gonna

1166
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:22,520
Speaker 1: take the Broncos. Okay, I took Denver last week. The

1167
00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:25,640
Speaker 1: two of you chuckle to me. Denver is one of

1168
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:27,640
Speaker 1: the toughest places to play in the NFL, and I

1169
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:31,120
Speaker 1: think they're gonna pull off. Yes on our pick him.

1170
00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:36,320
Speaker 1: Still it's documented. It's documented. Uh, and they're going to

1171
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:39,560
Speaker 1: win again at home in Denver. Two and Obroncos. I

1172
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:43,080
Speaker 1: believe the Cowboys, um, even though I do predict them

1173
00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:44,720
Speaker 1: to go eight and eight. So I'm getting into dicey

1174
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:47,560
Speaker 1: territ Gary here. I do think they're gonna win and

1175
00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:49,880
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott's gonna play well and everybody's gonna be like, oh,

1176
00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:53,280
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott's awesome. Uh. So that's my pick the Cowboys

1177
00:57:54,240 --> 00:58:03,000
Speaker 1: one Denver in our time, did you pick you picked

1178
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:06,320
Speaker 1: the Broncos right close your score. What we need scores now,

1179
00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:13,520
Speaker 1: please provide one twenty one to eight. Moving on the

1180
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:19,280
Speaker 1: Washington Redskins. Yes, sloppy Week one loss at home, and

1181
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:21,920
Speaker 1: that's tricky. You gotta win that home opener because the

1182
00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:24,120
Speaker 1: way the schedule usually breaks, then you go on the road,

1183
00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:26,000
Speaker 1: you never know what you're gonna get. And what you're

1184
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:28,480
Speaker 1: getting here is the Rams, and you're getting a Rams

1185
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:32,760
Speaker 1: team that just embarrassed their opponent to Colts nine. And

1186
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:35,919
Speaker 1: the Colts are kind of a injury riddled mess right now,

1187
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:40,080
Speaker 1: So maybe that is camouflaging really the difference between the

1188
00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:42,960
Speaker 1: teams and that matchup. But still you cannot say anything

1189
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:45,480
Speaker 1: bad about the way the Rams played on both sides

1190
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:48,280
Speaker 1: of the ball. So this seems like a really, really

1191
00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:50,920
Speaker 1: tough matchup for a Washington team greg that's trying to

1192
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:53,640
Speaker 1: figure out it's stuff right now. They we talked in

1193
00:58:53,640 --> 00:58:56,760
Speaker 1: the off season that the key to this team could

1194
00:58:56,840 --> 00:59:00,720
Speaker 1: be Terrell Prior and Josh Dotson. Josh Dotson barely on

1195
00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:03,200
Speaker 1: the field last week, I think eighteen staffs. Terrell Prior

1196
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:05,440
Speaker 1: clearly wasn't on the same page with Kirk Cousins, had

1197
00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:08,480
Speaker 1: a couple of drops. Uh did not have a strong game.

1198
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:11,160
Speaker 1: That's not going well. Their offensive line was one of

1199
00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:14,000
Speaker 1: the better offensive lines in the league last year, and

1200
00:59:14,080 --> 00:59:16,080
Speaker 1: yet they couldn't protect Kirk Cutins at all. And now

1201
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:19,120
Speaker 1: you gotta go up against my my uncle Wade and

1202
00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:24,200
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald. That's what you said. You're not my real dad.

1203
00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:27,680
Speaker 1: He's gotta go up against Aaron Donald on his way back,

1204
00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:32,360
Speaker 1: and and Robert Quinn and Tremaine Johnson. And this is

1205
00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:35,400
Speaker 1: not a team you want to play when you're struggling

1206
00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:40,560
Speaker 1: on offense. Kirk Cousins told Sean McVeigh, I owe you

1207
00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:44,200
Speaker 1: my career when he left town. Well, Sean mcveigh's on

1208
00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:46,160
Speaker 1: the other side, and that's why he's gonna owe him

1209
00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:50,960
Speaker 1: a victory this week. I'm locking it up. So you

1210
00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:53,920
Speaker 1: got on my RAMS corner. You're on my RAMS corner.

1211
00:59:54,600 --> 00:59:57,840
Speaker 1: You came on my corner now because I have the Rams.

1212
00:59:58,080 --> 00:59:59,840
Speaker 1: I had the Rams last week. I was locking it up.

1213
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:01,760
Speaker 1: Look at this, I don't even put it past through that.

1214
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:08,600
Speaker 1: You saw that little icon. I'm also got up, and

1215
01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:10,439
Speaker 1: I don't care if you already locked it up. Why

1216
01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:13,400
Speaker 1: must you be opposed to each other. You've something and

1217
01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:16,040
Speaker 1: you've unified here no, because Greg and I should have

1218
01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:18,360
Speaker 1: been unified back to back weeks, but he blacked, this

1219
01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:20,560
Speaker 1: keeps happening. I don't think about the lock of the

1220
01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:23,480
Speaker 1: week until late in the show, and suddenly there's only

1221
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:27,880
Speaker 1: Seahawks Forts and Packers Falcons left. So I don't Preparation

1222
01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:31,080
Speaker 1: is not our problem. You need to like really, Mark

1223
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 1: and I we went to the public library yesterday and

1224
01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:36,440
Speaker 1: we did twelve hours of research for start making our locks. Look,

1225
01:00:36,440 --> 01:00:38,200
Speaker 1: I got lots of notes and I came up with

1226
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:44,520
Speaker 1: Cleveland over Baltimore. So right, So anyway, I I said

1227
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:46,840
Speaker 1: this earlier in the week, I sincerely believe it. I

1228
01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:49,320
Speaker 1: feel like in the Cosmos the Rams are gonna be

1229
01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:53,440
Speaker 1: one of the September storylines in the league because I

1230
01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:56,520
Speaker 1: really love the way Jared Goff played, And I know

1231
01:00:56,760 --> 01:00:58,520
Speaker 1: there's no Vante Davis and all that, but he just

1232
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:01,280
Speaker 1: looks so proficient and didn't look anything like the guy

1233
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:03,200
Speaker 1: last year. And you know, confidence is such a big

1234
01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:06,760
Speaker 1: part of being successful um at that position, and he's

1235
01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:08,160
Speaker 1: got plenty of it now. And now you've got Aaron

1236
01:01:08,200 --> 01:01:11,360
Speaker 1: Donald Black. I think this is gonna be not nine,

1237
01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:13,400
Speaker 1: but I think it's gonna be a decisive win. One

1238
01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:16,760
Speaker 1: little tick the the golf looked great last week, but

1239
01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:19,800
Speaker 1: he had the second worst QB rating against the Blitz

1240
01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:23,160
Speaker 1: and no team except the Panthers blitz more than the Redskins. Yeah,

1241
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:25,040
Speaker 1: I gotta see more out of golf. He had a

1242
01:01:25,040 --> 01:01:27,640
Speaker 1: good week, certainly better than any game he's had in

1243
01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:31,439
Speaker 1: his career. He had unbelievable past protection that's just not

1244
01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:33,720
Speaker 1: going to happen where he's just sitting back there, there's

1245
01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:35,760
Speaker 1: no one near him for most of it. He's going

1246
01:01:35,760 --> 01:01:38,760
Speaker 1: through his like that's great, but most quarterbacks can do

1247
01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:41,000
Speaker 1: well when they have that sort of protection. That's not

1248
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:42,240
Speaker 1: gonna happen every week. And I want to see a

1249
01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:43,920
Speaker 1: little more out of Todd Gurley. This has been an

1250
01:01:43,960 --> 01:01:47,360
Speaker 1: offseason narrative that I was thumping and I and I

1251
01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:49,640
Speaker 1: and I just want to see him break some tackles.

1252
01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:51,680
Speaker 1: Sometimes there's holes there. I want to see him do

1253
01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:54,320
Speaker 1: something special. We know he's solid, but something he's running

1254
01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:56,320
Speaker 1: out of rope in the sense of Bennett for the

1255
01:01:56,400 --> 01:01:59,120
Speaker 1: doubt and Greg you kind of were, Yeah, you were

1256
01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:01,200
Speaker 1: hitting at it in the offseason, but there was another

1257
01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:04,800
Speaker 1: shaggy game. I'll again point to some baldy tape where

1258
01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:08,200
Speaker 1: he did a slow motion capture of a third and

1259
01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:11,160
Speaker 1: Forever where they just did a draw which should have

1260
01:02:11,240 --> 01:02:13,919
Speaker 1: gained h bald on the show. Well, you know, he's

1261
01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:15,840
Speaker 1: offered to come up with Yeah, they had three different

1262
01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:17,760
Speaker 1: gaps he could have shot through, and he just there

1263
01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:19,919
Speaker 1: was no explosion to girl and he got brought down

1264
01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:21,240
Speaker 1: for a two yard games. I think you were at

1265
01:02:21,240 --> 01:02:25,160
Speaker 1: the public library with Baldy. I don't remember sponsored segment.

1266
01:02:25,480 --> 01:02:29,440
Speaker 1: Dan reads all these world traveler too. I would go,

1267
01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:32,600
Speaker 1: I would just like follow Baldi around and I would

1268
01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:35,080
Speaker 1: like read his tweets as he was doing various adventures

1269
01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:38,080
Speaker 1: around the world, right next to him, watching him tweet. Quickly,

1270
01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:40,720
Speaker 1: he would quickly have you arrested? He I don't think

1271
01:02:40,720 --> 01:02:42,440
Speaker 1: that would be part of his travel plans. Why do

1272
01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:46,120
Speaker 1: you say that arrested? That hurts me that you'd say that. Well,

1273
01:02:46,120 --> 01:02:49,560
Speaker 1: I don't think there'll just be there'd be a man

1274
01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:53,000
Speaker 1: following him everywhere he goes. It would seem slightly suspicious.

1275
01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:57,640
Speaker 1: It's not personal against you. Well, the arrest certainly seems

1276
01:02:57,680 --> 01:03:01,200
Speaker 1: like it's personal, But I'm gonna move legal. It's legal. Yeah,

1277
01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:08,320
Speaker 1: what what is this? What is this all right? Let's

1278
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:11,240
Speaker 1: go move on to the San Francisco forty niners at

1279
01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:15,880
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks UH two oh and one teams. But

1280
01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:18,680
Speaker 1: this this one looks like a mismatch to me personally,

1281
01:03:19,120 --> 01:03:21,800
Speaker 1: Mark that the Seahawks are gonna get healthy at home

1282
01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:24,120
Speaker 1: after a tough Week one loss and which they didn't

1283
01:03:24,120 --> 01:03:28,240
Speaker 1: even play poorly, just got outplayed by another um NFC giant.

1284
01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:31,200
Speaker 1: What do you think The only concern I'd have for

1285
01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:35,080
Speaker 1: Seattle is again, it's another one of these left tackles,

1286
01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:37,800
Speaker 1: Reese Audiambo. I believe that's how you say his name.

1287
01:03:38,160 --> 01:03:41,280
Speaker 1: Seattle's fill in left tackle who got jobbed last week.

1288
01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:43,320
Speaker 1: He's their left tack He's still left tackle and you

1289
01:03:43,360 --> 01:03:47,080
Speaker 1: are dealing with I really like San Francisco's front seven.

1290
01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:49,600
Speaker 1: That could be a problem for Russell Wilson, who has

1291
01:03:49,640 --> 01:03:52,200
Speaker 1: not been protected well for a while now. But I

1292
01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:54,640
Speaker 1: do think Seattle takes this thing without too much training.

1293
01:03:54,800 --> 01:03:57,760
Speaker 1: They did not let him operate. It was it was

1294
01:03:58,160 --> 01:04:01,600
Speaker 1: beyond just like, hey, they struggle. There was like no

1295
01:04:01,640 --> 01:04:04,880
Speaker 1: one could have succeeded with what happened with the Seattle line.

1296
01:04:05,120 --> 01:04:07,800
Speaker 1: And I liked the San Francisco to on paper, I

1297
01:04:07,840 --> 01:04:09,960
Speaker 1: did not like what I saw last week. Not from

1298
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:12,320
Speaker 1: offense especially, but now but either side of the ball.

1299
01:04:12,520 --> 01:04:15,240
Speaker 1: You know, once Reuben Foster went down that that is

1300
01:04:15,240 --> 01:04:16,840
Speaker 1: a huge loss because he seemed like he was going

1301
01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:19,880
Speaker 1: a huge difference maker. They really got pushed around by

1302
01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:22,400
Speaker 1: Carolina up front. It was not not it was a

1303
01:04:22,480 --> 01:04:26,280
Speaker 1: very chip Chip Kelly like uh dunt on both sides

1304
01:04:26,320 --> 01:04:27,840
Speaker 1: of the balls this week one, but it was. It

1305
01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:29,920
Speaker 1: was a bit of a dune on both sides. I

1306
01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:33,720
Speaker 1: would be alarmed if Seattle has the score at least

1307
01:04:33,720 --> 01:04:36,000
Speaker 1: three touchdowns of this game. I think they will get

1308
01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:38,280
Speaker 1: And you're right, the offensive line has been a concern.

1309
01:04:38,360 --> 01:04:42,760
Speaker 1: It was again last week. Uh, but you know this

1310
01:04:42,840 --> 01:04:45,080
Speaker 1: is a game Seattle has been winning for five years now.

1311
01:04:45,360 --> 01:04:48,760
Speaker 1: These inferior NFC West teams, usually forty niners, come in,

1312
01:04:48,920 --> 01:04:50,560
Speaker 1: they take care of business and get healthy. I don't

1313
01:04:50,560 --> 01:04:52,520
Speaker 1: see that change. Well. I think one of their touchdowns

1314
01:04:52,720 --> 01:04:55,080
Speaker 1: is gonna come on defense because it should have. Last week.

1315
01:04:55,320 --> 01:04:59,360
Speaker 1: Hoyer was not protected well in that game against Carolina

1316
01:04:59,480 --> 01:05:02,880
Speaker 1: at all. There were sometimes four or five Panthers got

1317
01:05:03,200 --> 01:05:05,080
Speaker 1: defenders are breaking through at the same time. Now you

1318
01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:08,320
Speaker 1: gotta play Michael Bennett and Sheldon Richardson and Avrow on

1319
01:05:08,360 --> 01:05:11,920
Speaker 1: the road. Forget about it, Let's move on to this

1320
01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:13,840
Speaker 1: is the game of the week, Sunday Night football. The

1321
01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:16,840
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers coming off that went over, the Seahawks

1322
01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:20,280
Speaker 1: travel to Atlanta where they open up that new building.

1323
01:05:21,520 --> 01:05:23,960
Speaker 1: I think the roof is open market Mercedes. I've read

1324
01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:26,120
Speaker 1: that they are going to it. It's it's something like

1325
01:05:26,200 --> 01:05:28,560
Speaker 1: the fifteen eight or I don't know what the number is,

1326
01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:31,200
Speaker 1: but it's like fifteen acres is how big that roof is,

1327
01:05:31,200 --> 01:05:33,000
Speaker 1: which is a weird way to measure a root. Strange

1328
01:05:33,040 --> 01:05:36,000
Speaker 1: hubba hubba. Uh. So it's a rematch of the two

1329
01:05:36,040 --> 01:05:41,200
Speaker 1: thousand and sixteen NFC Championship game. Mark your thoughts on

1330
01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:45,800
Speaker 1: this battle, well, I mean this is a NFC title rematch,

1331
01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:49,120
Speaker 1: and I do feel like you know that. Well, I

1332
01:05:49,120 --> 01:05:51,760
Speaker 1: I agree with your point. Uh not really have points

1333
01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:54,439
Speaker 1: as a fact. Well, I would say it was strong

1334
01:05:54,440 --> 01:05:56,440
Speaker 1: analysis by day to point out that these two met

1335
01:05:56,520 --> 01:05:59,240
Speaker 1: last January. Wasn't analysis, just I was like laying the

1336
01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:03,280
Speaker 1: tracks as I hope everyone's panicking over Atlanta's offense, and

1337
01:06:03,320 --> 01:06:06,480
Speaker 1: I just don't quite feel that we're at that point

1338
01:06:06,520 --> 01:06:08,680
Speaker 1: at all yet. And I think they're gonna get right

1339
01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:11,840
Speaker 1: at home. Julio Jones talking about that game lit them

1340
01:06:11,880 --> 01:06:13,400
Speaker 1: up for a hundred and eighty yards. This is a

1341
01:06:13,400 --> 01:06:16,240
Speaker 1: different situation this time around. I think green Bay's improved

1342
01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:19,280
Speaker 1: their secondary son, But if you're green Bay, you have

1343
01:06:19,320 --> 01:06:21,160
Speaker 1: to open with Seattle and now you have to deal

1344
01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:24,560
Speaker 1: with the Falcons. It is this essentially another playoff September.

1345
01:06:24,680 --> 01:06:27,840
Speaker 1: Too early in the in the season for for these

1346
01:06:27,840 --> 01:06:30,440
Speaker 1: two teams to play, especially after green Bay Seattle. But

1347
01:06:30,640 --> 01:06:33,000
Speaker 1: you bringing up that game in their secondary points out

1348
01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:35,680
Speaker 1: who is covering him that game. Lad Darius Gunter, who

1349
01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:38,240
Speaker 1: released now was not even on the team. They cut him,

1350
01:06:38,240 --> 01:06:42,880
Speaker 1: So that shows stop that was That shows how much

1351
01:06:42,880 --> 01:06:45,360
Speaker 1: deeper they are now. They actually drafted Kevin King to

1352
01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:48,160
Speaker 1: to start. Everyone said, Okay, now we're better. Kevin King

1353
01:06:48,240 --> 01:06:49,760
Speaker 1: is not even playing for this team because they have

1354
01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:52,800
Speaker 1: their veterans out there. They looked like a tougher defense

1355
01:06:52,920 --> 01:06:55,000
Speaker 1: last week. And I'd be a little worried about the

1356
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:58,840
Speaker 1: Falcons run game because they were really dominated by Chicago,

1357
01:06:58,920 --> 01:07:00,760
Speaker 1: and you know a lot of their offense does come

1358
01:07:00,760 --> 01:07:03,560
Speaker 1: off that run game. They're playing up against Mike Daniels,

1359
01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:06,320
Speaker 1: who had a great game last week and certainly can

1360
01:07:06,320 --> 01:07:09,000
Speaker 1: cause problems. So I'm watching that Davante Freeman in the

1361
01:07:09,080 --> 01:07:12,560
Speaker 1: run game. I time Montgomery. I I get it. I

1362
01:07:12,560 --> 01:07:14,240
Speaker 1: see what they're trying to do. But I wasn't blown

1363
01:07:14,280 --> 01:07:16,720
Speaker 1: away by him, And I feel like Green Bay simply

1364
01:07:16,800 --> 01:07:19,520
Speaker 1: refuses to get year to year a run game that

1365
01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:22,000
Speaker 1: you can truly rely. I love. I really liked what

1366
01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:24,280
Speaker 1: I saw out of him last week, especially to end

1367
01:07:24,320 --> 01:07:26,800
Speaker 1: that game, that he got tougher and tougher as he went.

1368
01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:30,680
Speaker 1: I thought he showed a little something that, Okay, maybe

1369
01:07:30,720 --> 01:07:34,440
Speaker 1: this is uh fifty carry a game type of guy.

1370
01:07:34,440 --> 01:07:36,439
Speaker 1: You gotta see, you know, more than just one week.

1371
01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:39,479
Speaker 1: But I like how to closed that game. I think

1372
01:07:39,520 --> 01:07:41,640
Speaker 1: someone to watch in terms of having a bounce back

1373
01:07:41,680 --> 01:07:45,600
Speaker 1: season as Randall Cobb, who got you know, has got

1374
01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:47,720
Speaker 1: cast into a number one receiver role a couple of

1375
01:07:47,760 --> 01:07:49,640
Speaker 1: years ago and it was clearly not a good fit.

1376
01:07:49,880 --> 01:07:52,520
Speaker 1: Last year. He disappeared for stretches of the season. I

1377
01:07:52,560 --> 01:07:55,920
Speaker 1: thought he was in a perfect situation last week and

1378
01:07:55,960 --> 01:07:59,680
Speaker 1: I could, yeah, I could totally see them getting back

1379
01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:01,840
Speaker 1: back on track. And if he stays healthy, having like

1380
01:08:01,880 --> 01:08:04,439
Speaker 1: a ninety catch season, then they're so deep. I mean,

1381
01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:06,400
Speaker 1: he could just have. He has so many options to

1382
01:08:06,440 --> 01:08:09,120
Speaker 1: throw to there are I mean, their offense is gonna

1383
01:08:09,160 --> 01:08:11,960
Speaker 1: be once they get warmed up. And that was well

1384
01:08:12,080 --> 01:08:14,360
Speaker 1: Martella spent it. He looks like he fits right and

1385
01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:17,639
Speaker 1: he's he's a perfect fit. That everything the running game

1386
01:08:17,680 --> 01:08:20,040
Speaker 1: you can ask questions about. But if they just can

1387
01:08:20,120 --> 01:08:22,240
Speaker 1: get in sync and their role, they they're gonna score

1388
01:08:22,240 --> 01:08:25,760
Speaker 1: a lot of points this year. Brian Bulaga, coming off

1389
01:08:25,800 --> 01:08:29,120
Speaker 1: that ankle injury, has misspracticed on this Thursday with they

1390
01:08:29,160 --> 01:08:31,479
Speaker 1: sent him home with the flu, and I typically the

1391
01:08:31,479 --> 01:08:33,280
Speaker 1: flu does not seem like somebody would stand in the

1392
01:08:33,280 --> 01:08:35,919
Speaker 1: way a plane. But combining it with the ankle that

1393
01:08:35,920 --> 01:08:37,800
Speaker 1: that right side of the line was not good less. Yeah,

1394
01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:40,320
Speaker 1: and I'm expecting this Falcons defense to be better this season.

1395
01:08:41,040 --> 01:08:44,360
Speaker 1: They were okay as a group last week, but Devandre

1396
01:08:44,560 --> 01:08:46,680
Speaker 1: Campbell really stood out. This is why you gotta watch

1397
01:08:46,760 --> 01:08:48,599
Speaker 1: more than one week. You never know. I mean, if

1398
01:08:48,640 --> 01:08:50,439
Speaker 1: you're giving out defensive player of the Year, I might

1399
01:08:50,520 --> 01:08:52,920
Speaker 1: to give it to Devandre Campbell right now as a

1400
01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:55,960
Speaker 1: second year linebacker and suddenly him and Dion Jones flying

1401
01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:59,559
Speaker 1: around together. If Campbell really improved that much, that is

1402
01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:04,720
Speaker 1: a difference making Doo uh, finally Monday Night football the

1403
01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:09,000
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions. Yes, they beat the Cardinals last week at home.

1404
01:09:09,040 --> 01:09:11,200
Speaker 1: Now they traveled to the Metal Ends to face the Giants.

1405
01:09:12,120 --> 01:09:15,200
Speaker 1: Very dispiriting loss for the the Giants in Week one

1406
01:09:15,240 --> 01:09:19,000
Speaker 1: at Dallas. But now it looks like Odell Beckham as

1407
01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:21,519
Speaker 1: of now is heading towards the right direction and we'll

1408
01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:24,000
Speaker 1: be playing on Monday. We'll see. But he did practice

1409
01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:26,760
Speaker 1: in a limited capacity on Thursday, which is a very

1410
01:09:26,800 --> 01:09:30,800
Speaker 1: good sign. And you wonder if that's what it's gonna

1411
01:09:30,800 --> 01:09:33,520
Speaker 1: take to wake up the Giants offense. Of course, Beckham

1412
01:09:33,520 --> 01:09:36,479
Speaker 1: has been there. Uh they haven't scored over twenty points

1413
01:09:36,479 --> 01:09:38,720
Speaker 1: in seven straight games. He was there for all those

1414
01:09:38,760 --> 01:09:40,840
Speaker 1: games too. But maybe he gets it in the mix

1415
01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:42,760
Speaker 1: and they get a little flow going, because it can't

1416
01:09:42,760 --> 01:09:45,240
Speaker 1: get worse than what it was last Sunday night. He

1417
01:09:45,439 --> 01:09:48,800
Speaker 1: also a little while ago called the injury a six

1418
01:09:48,840 --> 01:09:52,320
Speaker 1: to eight week injury. We're raising suspicion that he would

1419
01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:54,160
Speaker 1: that whether or not he'll be available on this so

1420
01:09:54,200 --> 01:09:57,040
Speaker 1: I there's a lot. Yeah, there's more to the in

1421
01:09:57,080 --> 01:10:00,360
Speaker 1: the injury was went four three weeks ago. Yeah, yeah,

1422
01:10:00,400 --> 01:10:04,759
Speaker 1: well no, this is gonna be that's problematic. This Giant.

1423
01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:07,720
Speaker 1: He can't save this Giant's offense. Everyone's like, Okay, you

1424
01:10:07,760 --> 01:10:09,880
Speaker 1: know you saw the difference without other but yeah, that's true.

1425
01:10:09,920 --> 01:10:12,519
Speaker 1: But they were a really poor offense last year with

1426
01:10:12,560 --> 01:10:16,680
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham. They to have the lack of confidence to

1427
01:10:16,880 --> 01:10:21,360
Speaker 1: not test that Cowboys secondary really at all. Like Eli

1428
01:10:21,400 --> 01:10:23,719
Speaker 1: Manning just wasn't having a third and twelve. I'm throwing

1429
01:10:23,720 --> 01:10:26,280
Speaker 1: at two yards third, Nate, Let's throw at four yards,

1430
01:10:26,320 --> 01:10:28,719
Speaker 1: you know, third and third and one. Let's not even

1431
01:10:28,760 --> 01:10:31,120
Speaker 1: trust our running backs. Let's just go four wide and

1432
01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:34,320
Speaker 1: try to complete a pass like it was right there

1433
01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:37,240
Speaker 1: with the Jets. Even the Jets I think looked better

1434
01:10:37,800 --> 01:10:39,600
Speaker 1: passing in the ball early in that game with with

1435
01:10:39,640 --> 01:10:41,760
Speaker 1: any offense in the league at the bottom. That's why

1436
01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:44,880
Speaker 1: I made New York my Super Bowl pick, and uh, no,

1437
01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:46,679
Speaker 1: no choice but to stick with that. But it feels

1438
01:10:46,840 --> 01:10:50,200
Speaker 1: very endangered. What I don't like about everything along with

1439
01:10:50,200 --> 01:10:52,320
Speaker 1: everything you just said, you knew you had issues at

1440
01:10:52,360 --> 01:10:54,680
Speaker 1: running back, you didn't do anything to change that, and

1441
01:10:54,720 --> 01:10:57,400
Speaker 1: you know they seem like this it's just a continuation

1442
01:10:57,760 --> 01:10:59,800
Speaker 1: of last season on offense. And we'll see if this

1443
01:11:00,160 --> 01:11:02,280
Speaker 1: what kind of matchup this is in terms of going

1444
01:11:02,320 --> 01:11:04,679
Speaker 1: against Detroit. But when I when I saw what games

1445
01:11:04,680 --> 01:11:06,320
Speaker 1: were left in and I knew I still had to

1446
01:11:06,360 --> 01:11:08,880
Speaker 1: lock up, I thought pretty hard about locking up the Lions.

1447
01:11:08,960 --> 01:11:10,559
Speaker 1: If I could do a double lock it up? Am

1448
01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:13,000
Speaker 1: I even allowed to do that? I would double lock

1449
01:11:13,080 --> 01:11:15,439
Speaker 1: it up because I really do like the Lions to

1450
01:11:15,439 --> 01:11:18,479
Speaker 1: win this game. And Stafford showed me something last week.

1451
01:11:18,520 --> 01:11:20,960
Speaker 1: And more than that, he's got more help around him.

1452
01:11:21,280 --> 01:11:24,759
Speaker 1: Uh this year. I think Kenny Golladay could really change

1453
01:11:24,840 --> 01:11:28,479
Speaker 1: this entire offense because he is so He looks so

1454
01:11:28,520 --> 01:11:31,200
Speaker 1: good on the perimeter and his his feet for a

1455
01:11:31,240 --> 01:11:34,080
Speaker 1: big guy, able to beat some smaller cornerbacks at the line.

1456
01:11:34,439 --> 01:11:38,519
Speaker 1: And now that he's outside, Golden Tate's inside. I love

1457
01:11:38,600 --> 01:11:40,240
Speaker 1: me some Golden Tate in the slot. And he was

1458
01:11:40,240 --> 01:11:42,679
Speaker 1: playing out of position on the outside. So suddenly two

1459
01:11:42,680 --> 01:11:45,479
Speaker 1: spots are better, the lines a little better, and you're in.

1460
01:11:45,520 --> 01:11:47,880
Speaker 1: You're cooking with gas. I feel like there's a missed

1461
01:11:47,880 --> 01:11:50,760
Speaker 1: opportunity because Greg's so excited. I'm more excited about this

1462
01:11:50,800 --> 01:11:54,040
Speaker 1: and you know what, I'm locking it up. Wait, no,

1463
01:11:54,240 --> 01:11:56,800
Speaker 1: you're not. You want to pull out your lock for

1464
01:11:56,840 --> 01:11:59,439
Speaker 1: the Rams, You could do that. I don't know. Two

1465
01:11:59,479 --> 01:12:03,600
Speaker 1: weeks in a too confused Well, No, I'm sticking with

1466
01:12:03,640 --> 01:12:06,840
Speaker 1: the RAMS stick. I feel like the fans will know

1467
01:12:07,040 --> 01:12:09,360
Speaker 1: that I double locked it up. No, they will not.

1468
01:12:09,520 --> 01:12:11,920
Speaker 1: They will not respect that, they will not observe that. No,

1469
01:12:12,680 --> 01:12:15,400
Speaker 1: will not come into the lions. I was going to

1470
01:12:15,479 --> 01:12:17,800
Speaker 1: lock up the Giants, but because it was Monday, I

1471
01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:19,640
Speaker 1: didn't think it was it was gonna be a theatrical,

1472
01:12:20,040 --> 01:12:21,840
Speaker 1: so I went with the RAMS. We could have had

1473
01:12:21,840 --> 01:12:24,560
Speaker 1: a lot on a strange psychic wavelength. You could have

1474
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:26,120
Speaker 1: had a lock off, is what we could have had.

1475
01:12:26,120 --> 01:12:28,080
Speaker 1: And well, why don't you both get out of the

1476
01:12:28,160 --> 01:12:32,280
Speaker 1: RAMS lock and do that. Let's make this exciting, all right,

1477
01:12:33,160 --> 01:12:39,160
Speaker 1: it's a lock off. Off off. Listeners that cut out

1478
01:12:39,200 --> 01:12:43,760
Speaker 1: of the show early will be very confused. History here. Um, okay,
